interesting. alltel rom gps put me off the coast of ghana.

quick question - do we use a bootloader to drop this in? whihc one? Cokeman's latest did not allow us to do that.

Sorry, I am lost.

Ok. Loaded up just fine, let the customization run, and tested. Internet works, GPS is flashing blue dot in google maps looking for sats. Internet is super fast.

Its not necessary however it should make you lock on faster so yea use it. I'll bring up a link someone else posted for the HTC QuickGPS if JD's new test rom doesn't include it.

Edit: Here's the post in this thread, thank him for finding and posting

My carrier is bell and i got GPS enabled on my phone, its off by a couple of blocks though. I have 1 satellite in view and 1 in use (but then again im in my basement). I followed the instructions of unlocking my phone, installing the alltell rom, unlocking certs 1, 2, and 3 with a soft reset inbetween unlocking certs, installed HTC_enable_GPS, installed quickGPS and set GPS to com4. I'm not sure how to test the speed of my connection on my phone though, and im not even sure if Bell supports revA.

best thing to do is connect your phone via cable, turn on internet sharing, assign your pc to auto dhcp/dns, so basically at this point your phone is your modem (make sure you disconnect your current modem so as to not misrepresent speed test results...

then goto speakeasy speed test

You're definitely off cause you're in your basement with one sat locked on.

Two ways to test rev a, make a phone call and then open up internet explorer and browse the web. Rev a makes it possible now for you to do so, so if it works you should get websites open while on the phone.

Another way, less reliable, is going to dslreports.com/mspeed and testing your speed on that site. Best I've gotten with 1-2 bars is 300kb/s which is faster than what I've gotten before. I believe you can get up to ~900kb/s... i've seen 1000kb/s with rev a. The site though isn't inconsistant in tests.
