Hi,

Do I still need to use Verizon GPS Fix v2.0 if I use custom ROM (i.e. Mighty ROM)?

Thanks!

not entirely true. you dont have to reapply everytime you flash BUT you do have to reapply when you perform a hard reset. now personally i hard reset pretty much everytime i flash so i know i have to do it anyways.

yeah ALWAYS hardreset after a flash cleans things up
doesnt it usually erase everything when you flash though?

hold on guys...... i hard reset after flashes and I have not applied the fix to my device since January.... you shouldnt have to reapply it unless you flash a rom that injects a pri... which pretty much all customs do not do that only Shipped ROMs

Is hard reset the same as clear storage with 1234? I think you'd have to re-apply bored's fix if you clear storage. Otherwise no need to re-apply.

just tested it, i did a clear storage twice and the manual button hard reset and both times i needed to apply the fix for the gps to lock on
