EDIT 2: Im using the Juagalo ROM to test. IM sitting in my basement office and picked up 6 sats in about 45 seconds. TO be honest with you thats about as good as my Titan with aGPS turned on and functioning. I was testing using Google maps and the stock Verizon radio.

Scott, I am using one of your ROMS. Not the current one, but the one prior. I flashed your ROM to my Sprint hardware & activated it on Verizon. My GPS is already working. My question is, what would be the difference between the GPS I am already getting in your ROM and the GPS available in bored's .cab? Am I only getting A-GPS right now with your ROM? Thanks!

Y would u derail the topic to ask him about his ROM seriously use some tact and ask elsewhere.

I tried this on my latest VZ Nav ROM and it allows both google maps / live search to work as well as VZ Navigator.

Great job once again!

Just my two cents: I think this does use aGPS when on a stock VZW ROM with stock drivers.

I modifed the latest Verizon PRL to work with the Sprint PRI...at least I think I got it. Anyone want to give it a try and let me know? It should get rid of the roaming triangle (*228 will bring it back though, as long as you are using the Sprint PRI)....

Because it is a relevant question.

I modified bored's cab a little, try installing it and follow the directions in the first post and see if:

1.) the PPST actually finishes instead of fails
2.) if you're roaming after.

To scrosler about his ROM yes so it should be asked in his ROM thread has no bearing on this thread though.

I dont want to start a flame war but I think it is some what a relevant question. I hope no one is pissy with me but... Here is the answer.

You will get nothing. This is for the XV6850 hardware version of the touch Pro. Dont not apply this to the "real" touch pro's from sprint. Lets not turn this into a sprint vs vzw debate either.

Bored can verify and confirm this. Update first post to clarify for everyone on the hardware platform?

The goal of my question was to find out the differences between this *new* GPS and what has already been released in other ROM's. If you want to lecture me about proper forum posting, maybe you should PM me instead of doing your own derailing. I'm actually a Mod in other forums and really don't need etiquette advice.

Also, Since I helped contribute by dumping my Sprint Diamond NV and sending it to bored, I think I'm within my right to ask a question.
