I have the same alltel rom you guys have and have been getting locks around 5 seconds inside my home. I'm finding around 10 sattilites consistantly. Although it did take longer the first time.
I didn't do the fix, but i did run the shadow reg edit cab.
Also i was able to download the latest quickgps that comes with the device,
that i think helped the most.
One more thing, I was able to get some kind of weak lock without any kind of modifications in windows live, and google maps.
