slthomas - I have an issue with google maps as well. I have had the issue for most of the ROMs besides stock though.

I go into settings in GM select use GPS, even if it is selected already, close settings tab, reopen settings select use GPS again. For some reason it seems the GPS needs to be power cycled before it works. Once I do these couple steps it works like a charm gathering my location usually within 15-30 seconds.

I am using the R4 sprint specific ROM right now.

Thanks for the reply. My issue is the phone network never grabs location - only via GPS satellite. I will try your suggestion though.

I cooked those registry settings in the R4 ROMs already based on Vinn's advice.

Edit: So they are in my kitchen, but I just checked the registry on the phone and it's not there. WTF! :scratch:

Guess I'll have to XML it!

3) Google maps does not find location (temporarily unavailable) when trying to locate via the phone. I have confirmed location is enabled in the CDMA setup (location/911). Location works fine via GPS - just not via Verizon by pressing the blue icon in Google maps.

that's all you need to do.

Tried your recommendation but no success
Thanks for trying.

Also added the recommended reg keys for googlemaps but could only get a fix within 4900 meters

Or atleast it seemed fixed. It will never stay on sprint it switches to "Data network" by itself even when I turn it off in communication manager. It turns itself back on. I can't seem to keep it off.

Now I'm missing texts and not all of a text are coming through. If someone texts more then 160 characters the second part comes through 161+ but the first 160 never comes through and its come to the point of absolute frustration.

why downgrade all the way to 1.3 and not final 2.0r1? any of the ce roms were considered as beta not completely tested were as 2.0r1 was completely tested. you have problems with that too?

what exactly switchs to data network? do you install sprint or generic? are you talking bout settings/connections/connections and under tasks tab it says data network? i use the generic roms and mine says data network and works. does it not work if its on "data network" and it works for "sprint"? i guess something isnt making since for me :scratch:

look above and see if your external gps settings are like mine and if so try the baud to 4800 and see whats up

I have a confession to make, I switched back to an Energy ROM for a bit today . . .

But I am back to Shark V4.0

But I do have to say, I do like the start menu switcher app that is his ROMs. I am not sure if this is an CAB I can install, I searched for it, but got 2.5 zillion hits ;)

OK, I am going back to the corner where I belong now ;)

V1.3 was the only one that downloaded and extracted ok.



I downloaded the sprint r4 rom. and in the communication manager the toggle switch for "Data connection" constantly switches on even after I switch it off. it turns back on by itself. That wouldn't bother me but i have people calling me asking why i never responded to there texts. and others show just the second half of the text 161+ but the first 1-160 message never gets sent.

So not having sprint and data connection turning on by itself is causing something that is making texting impossible. Plus its taken roughly a minute to connect when I make a call. It just says calling and it doesn't connect after a while.

I tried sprint provisioning. I turned off personalizer (never touched it dont know why it turned on) I tried reflashing. nothing is working. So im tired of it. I flashed stock 6.5 and the data connection doesn't turn on and ill have full signal with sprint.

as far as not flashing V2.2 v1.3 worked great for me so Ill stick to what works. In all honesty I switched to formulas rom for now.

I still love sharkies rom hes done great work and Ill stay in touch.

didn't realize you had a question about it----a long time ago, on another rom, and prob another version of Google maps---this lock issue was coming up---this was the fix suggested, I've used those settings from then on, with no problems locking--ever.

well i would suggest Vins Start menu changer which i love to death and is very similar :) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-themes...d-changer.html

and also check out this one im posting below as well :thumbleft:




and @ ffkip911 hey brother check this out,it's made by Maximus.Mobile the same dude who makes the MMTask Manger thats cooked in and works so well,well this has too and i'm really liking it so far best thing is it gives you the option to override start menu or keep htc start menu and use this as well,users choice,but by overriding the start menu it nets quite a bit of free ram here is the thread link

[APP] MMAppLauncher v1.0 - Full Start Menu Replacement (WM 6.5, 6.5.x) - xda-developers

here are a few screenies,does a good job of icon replacement,most render them hideous lol,also the reason i like this it has a settings menu rather than having to go to the settings tab to access settings like most start menu replacement apps,you really should give it a shot as well as Sharkie and
kjhadfield,you guys may enjoy it :)

Being an avid diver and all species of Shark lover! This ROM couldn't fit me more!! Thanks a ton for your work. Only problem I can't seem to fix is video playback. I've been at it all weekend long and used many different converters. Any tips on cleaning up stutter?

For sure! Just shoot me a PM with links to the fonts you want, and I'll get them added!

Ok, silly question: I have a wired headset that has push button controls to end calls and forward music and such which does not work with this ROM. Does anyone know if there are registry settings for headsets which may reinstate these controls?

Did you ever figure out what was going on with your data usage?

Have you had any problems with USPtoPC at all on an R4 ROM?Don't know at the moment, but I'll look around and see what I can learn.

I'll look into all day evets showing on the lockscreen...

The 7th screenshot is what Sense will look like if you use the "Remove RSS Feed" cab. No doubt removing CHT will speed up Sense, but like I said before I think that my Sense is pretty fast, even with CHT installed.
