As you can see I am working on a number of combinations. Its a work in progress but keep up the good work.

I've been trying to use various other 3rd part GPS utilities. Currently am just trying Tracky because that supposedly works with the intermediate driver and 6.1. I've been talking with tech support, and they've been very nice and pointed me to the valhalla fix. They don't know if it works on the Touch with the VZW 6.1 and valhalla though, but they thought that it should be able to.
Anyway, I've flashed and let customizations run and ran valhalla. But the only way I could get the satellites to show up in Tracky was to start GMM first. But then the lat and long in Tracky is just random, and changes drastically every second. Closing GMM has no affect. My other 3rd party apps mostly behave exactly the same way. Though I did have one program that worked a little bit (trackpal?), but then the gps data would just freeze up - that was with the original flash and letting customizations run.
I've since reflashed to the VZW 6.1 and this time I didn't let customizations run. I installed valhalla gpsserver. I've done the qpst agps fix, though not sure if that did anything. I've also installed gpsid, which also doesnt seem to add anything. I'm going to try the latest gpsgate in a minute. So far my results since reflashing without customizations is identical to my results when I let them run.
