Loaded up the fix to B2B ROM and the gps works great.

Failboat. Installed Googlemaps, cant come up with any satellites.

Im not sure what my next step should be, I have tried a few settings and nothing.

Is there a simple checklist of solutions?

Is this problem coming from being on a verizon ROM with a sprint phone?

I can't get this to work either. I am using the leaked Verizon rom on a Sprint TP phone. When I had the Verizon TP this worked no problem.

you dont need this fix on the sprint device....if you location is on you need to look within your nav software for the issue

Do I need to undo anything now since I did the fix already?

what people are doing is using the Sprint PRI with a modified Verizon PRL to get rid of the roaming icon. At the moment if you update your PRL to the newest Verizon one it will probably show that your are roaming even if you are not. My fix was authored about 3 PRL's ago. You could actually modify the VZW PRL go get rid of the roaming icon that way you could just keep the PRI you just installed.

Hey, I wanted to say thanks for this, and add two things that weren't immediately clear:

1: Turn on Settings->Phone->Location (Should this be in the OP?)
2: Go Outside... I was surprised that just walking outside made a HUGE difference

(Also, I ran mine on stock, I'm not brave enough to do anything major yet)
