Also, can you get me links to his ROM's?

I'm mainly looking for slimmed down ROM's. I tried JD's 1.08 ROM and that was nice but I couldn't get GPS to work. maybe this was the reason? Can anyone confirm? i'm on stock ROM for now, i'm getting sick of flashing new ROM's over and over and over.

I have only used MigtyRom 6 and Energy Rom, MightyRom 6 worked for me without doing anything. I had some hiccups with Energy rom but it was fixed using the Bored GPS fix, just make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Not sure if Engery or Mighty is Verizon Specific, but only things i need to do for Energy Rom is run the arcsoft removal cab, and then install the arcsoft vzw specific cab, and everything works fine. i also set all page pools to 8mb

It seems the bored GPS fix fixes the GPS problems with every ROM out there. i'll try this ROM out for a few days and then maybe i'll go back to JD's ROM and try the Bored GPS fix and see if it works.

Apaprently I'm not the only one reporting this problem though because someone also had this issue, and it seems to be ONLY happening with the VERIZON TP, not the sprint TP or the ATT Fuze.

Guys it's not the rom....you need to install the ppst2.01 cab and then run ppst (in windows folder)

This unlocks the GPS in a verizon phone!
