I am using Scott's ROM on my Verizoned Sprint Touch Pro & GPS already works. It has cursor lag issues while moving, but it works. What I'm not sure of is whether the A-GPS works or not.

The AGPS works well if you did hack on 1st page. It's locks within seconds....

Okay. I'm having problems with the instructions for getting rid of the Sprint banner and roaming icon. I installed QPST and WModemDriver on my desktop and then ran Activesync and dialed ##3424 which executed DMR on my phone and then I ran QPST config on my desktop and my phone is not listed in the active phones tab nor can I add it (per instructions). What I did notice is when I dialed ##3424 it disconnected me from Activesync. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

If you check the XDA Wiki link on the front page it mentions using a command prompt on your device to run DMRouter /DIAG (what I did was use Resco File Explorer and just executed the DMRouter.exe with a /DIAG argument). Also GC has a CAB fix for the banner a few pages ago - that's your best bet/method for removing/replacing the banner back to Verizon (Big thanks to GC for that!)

Thanks. I applied GC's cab file and it did fix the Sprint text, however, my status icon did not get fixed (it still says I'm roaming). Do I need to go through the steps again to fix this problem?

I had to soft reset after applying GC's cab to change the banner text.

I did do a soft reset and my banner is fixed, however, I still have the 1X icon in my status instead of EV etc...
