Re: Alltel Nav on custom rom?

I agree that gps is unlocked, but I disagree in your assertion that Alltel Nav is required for the gps to function correctly. There is a lag in the gps of the Alltel Touch Pro (as with most of the other carriers), but it is believed to be either a hardware issue, or a firmware/driver issue. There are rumors of a firmware update from HTC soon that will correct the problem. I agree with you, the Titan was spot on as a GPS navigator, however, you had to unlock the gps by flashing a gps radio, as well as use a primer to open the gps gate (unless you used Shadowtech's aGPS fix). The Alltel Touch Pro works with GPS out of the box.

Conflipper is the local Alltel man around here as far as the Touch Pro goes, and he doesn't include Alltel Nav in his custom Alltel Rom. He does provide a cab, but if the phone REQUIRED Alltel Nav for the gps to work properly, I think he would include it as a core part of his rom.

I hear you, the stock rom is slow and sluggish. Have you tried Con's 1-21-09 rom? Dream Phyre's latest is great, too. I'm afraid Alltel Nav won't solve your gps woes though, but if your lag miraculously goes away and gps works like your Titan did, please by all means get back to me and let me know. I'll be installing the cab lickity split.
