I just unlocked my Verizon touch pro and installed CE OS 21015 "B2B" Bonus ROM for Verizon. I wouldn't mind just using what my phone shipped with but optimized but so many to choose from it can be confusing...

First let me say the improvement in speed is just amazing...

I'm trying to get my GPS to work but it never seems to find any satellites. I ran the Quick GPS tool and was able to update. I set the phone setting to location on instead of 911 only. I ran the GPS Tool set it to chip type q7500 and opened port. It spews lots of data but never shows any satelites.

Any ideas what I can try?

The ROM I used does include the GPS fix right?

Hi everybody,

I've been keeping up with this post from the start, wow over 2,000 posts. I don't even have my Touch Pro yet. My NE2 comes up on Wednesday. I just wanted to drop a note to say hi and thank everybody for all there work and getting me SO excited about this phone. I work full-time and go to school full-time. I'm thinking I may have to quit both just so I can play with my new phone. I've been a Palm fanatic since they came out and have a Palm T|X now. I'm a little worried about the switch, but mostly because of screen size. I don't know if I'll quite be ready to ditch the Palm yet, but I'm ecstatic about having a new toy to play with.

Thanks,
Tammie

I figure I'd do a search in the XML for Red and change it to Orange, if it's that easy, and change REDPHO~1.000 TO ORAPHO~1.000. Then, how do I edit the last file? Notepad doesn't read it properly.

Thanks!

Your looking at it from the wrong persepctive.

If the file is encoded then your tool is not working. they are all JPG files. You cannot use standard archive programs on CAB files. YOU MUST use something like WinCE Cab mgr. UNLESS you know what youa re doing.... SO go download the trial of WinCE Cab MGR.

From there there NO, NONE, ZERO, reg edits in the cab. The files are just graphics, extract them and modify them then re-cab them.

Thats what you want to do. There is NOTHING in the registry that controls these colors.

Sorry if I am short.... At work ;c(

Okay, so it doesn't include the fix. So I need to do everything posted in that gps fix link right? IE install both cabs.

You need to apply fix before you can enjoy if you have a VZW Pro!
