Re: Titan 3.35.04 radio

Time for a little The Good, The Bad and The Ugly....

The Good! :

So I followed the extremely well laid out instructions (JD, Mindfrost - what would we do without guys like you doing excellent work like this?!?!) this afternoon around 5pm and walking out to my car I had the longest wait for a lock today and that was <3 mins!!! The best one that I have had was after hockey tonight... I powered up my Vogue from off and by the time I clicked Open GPS in GPS Viewer there were 4+ locks!!!

With the Alltell / JD's GPStest ROM setup I was lucky to lock in under 10 mins and lucky to have 3 to 5 locks whereas now I am routinely seeing 7!

The not so good but certainly not bad :

As for the Rev A increase I really haven't seen it...
I went from ~500-700K on stock EVDO to ~950K average on the Alltel/gpstest and the best I have seen on this latest concoction is 1048K...
Because I am worried about tethering my speed tests are all done using the 1MB text based test @ dslreports... Will some people please try that test as well so I can compare Apples to Apples? Much Appreciated.

The Bad :

No cube?!? What will I do without my iCube!!!
Mixxy, I thought I had the solution to our woes...
I installed the Sprint cab which I believe you already did and then changed the following registry setting :
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\EnableCube -> 1
Unfortunately that is not enough... Anyone else care to shed some light on this?
And now I can't seem to reinstall iCube?! I uninstalled but it shows up in the Remove Programs and then I try to re-install and it fails... =(

The Ugly :

Not really ugly so much as foreign... =)
That is the interface on the Hybrid ROM... I do like it... I just am not sure if I like it enough to keep it... heh heh
I am going to give it an honest try at the very least.
That said I gather from what I read that I can install any ROM that had v3.x radio drivers and expect the same performance? I thought I read in one of the original posts that this Hybrid ROM had drivers that were specific to the Titan radio?

Wow... sorry for the reallllly long post... I am just excited about this mod!
