Afternoon folks,

I agree with the post above this one. We got sidetracked in the middle of this and now we need to get back on track. So for the sake of all lets start with this post.

For starters if you flash this ROM, and LET customizations run, then you will not be able to use apps like TomTom or iGo. These apps use COM port based GPS, and that will not happen with this ROM. You can use Skywing's Valhalla fix, but this will only give you access to Google Maps.

If you flashed this ROM, and DID NOT let customizations run you should be able to apply the aGPS fix from XDA and then apps like TomTom or iGo will work.

If someone is having different results than the above please respond with exact details on how you got things to operate. For those using custom ROMs I am sure you know what you are doing.

Thanks,

Thanks Steve- I am not contradicying and like you want to get this straight. I have been 'moonlighting' at Howards Forums and I am getting feedback that my step by step as above will work fine for what I need. Tom Tom and WM6.1 here are a cple of quotes for what its worth. Your opinion is welcome. thanks again

Your steps are fine. You'll see some postings about unlocking and canceling before customizations, but for what you want, there is no need. Only thing that got me was forgetting to go into the phone settings and turn "location on" under services. Enjoy, it really takes this phone to the next level of usefulness and there really is no reason to NOT do this upgrade.


Hello, I did this update a few days ago, and wowee. It made my 6900 so dramatically better, its a delight now. No bugs at all in the upgrade. If on reactivation *2228 option 1 does not work, dial #8899 <send> and someone will answer pretty fast and get you up and running. My only annoyance is that neither HTC nor PCD Phones have this up on their website yet, so VZ Navigator cannot be run. Can be downloaded but not run, as VZ says "your phone is not capable of running VZ Navigator." I didn't have the heart to tell the rep. yes, it does!! Heheh. As to stop customization, I don't know what they're talking about.....the update went without ever asking about this.
