GPS Registry Hack or Tweak
I've been looking around so forgive me if this information is out there and I just haven't found it or if it is even available. My question is, is there a registry hack or tweak to open the ports in the external GPS that is on the Mogul? I know I could update my rom, but as it stands I have my Mogul as I want it except for the fact that I don't have the GPS and don't want to update due to all the complaints that I've been hearing from others just getting the rom to install correctly or what gets screwed up after the install is done. So does the external GPS work only off of the update of the newer radio on the newer roms, or is there a hack around it to make it run off of what I'm currently using which is the stock rom with alot of Mod's...Thanks](*,)

I too am in the same boat. Want to merely enable the GPS, install google maps or MS Live Search or both and leave the rest of the original ROM alone. I realize that there are many tweaks and features in the builds that many have spent hours perfecting (nearly) and that is greatly appreciated. All I want and need is a simple turn on the GPS One chip withouta lot of mods to my Verizon XV6900.
It seems in my browsing of the contents of the various drivers in the download sections here that there are dll files with the GPS feature's name all over it. I will stay tuned to your post and see if anyone bites... |

@ MOGUL USERZ
I assume you have the "stock" rom from before 3.35. I know it's a pain to re-set up stuff, but you could trial spb backup or sprite backup. to get gps you do need a 3.x rom.. the latest is 3.56 and yes it seams buggy as it is wm6.1. 3.35 is wm6.0 and there are lots of people running this just fine. @ firetaz39 your in the same ocean ,but different fleet's lol (trying to be funny) to my knowledge verizon hasn't released a rom with standalone gps for any device 6800 or 6900 (I could be wrong) the gps function was specifically disabled by the carriers, until they released the newer rom (sprint, alltell, but not verizon to my knowledge) so the only way to access it would be to "break" the carriers block, meaning flashing different radio/rom. just a quick braindump to try and help, please correct me if I misspoke. |

Well this does suck, I also cannot use the external GPS to get my GPS positioning with Live or Google. I have a ALL-TELL PPC6800 and the sales person told me it would work fine, he is correct for a $9.99 fee per month! I was told it would work at no cost only would cost if I selected one of All-Tell's software packs. So, they lied and I do have 30 days to take this phone back. The suck part is I like the phone. So does this mean that spint does not charge for the external GPS postioning.
Cheers, Robert |
