OMJ's WM6.1 Custom Touch ROM w/ UC, GPS, REV A! Updated 5/29/08

[BootsSiR]

After some time using the new roms I'm going to have to say that enabling gps on these phones isn't really that useful. It's way too hit or miss to be a reliable GPS device. It's fun to toy around with but not nearly solid enough to use for a full time GPS solution. I mean I can fire up the GPS in my car and have a lock in 15 seconds and the phone sitting right next to it can take 20mins or more and may never lock at all. I think we know the reason the Telco's haven't enabled GPS from the get go.

it will still be flaky until the official gps released when my titan got official gps it got locks everytime in under 30 secs.

I wanted to post a thanks to everyone for helping me with all the comments and everything. I had problems getting the gps to connect, but then I went into start-> programs-> GPS Navigation-> GPS viewer and did a scan for the GPS to find that it was on Com 4 and I let it sit there and connect until it was working correctly. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get through all of the replies in this great post.

I have a few questions:
1) I accidentally forgot to run \Windows\PPST.exe when the instructions said to. What does not running this do? I was able to make calls and use the GPS with my Sprint Touch no problems. Did I miss out on something by not running that portion of the instructions?

2) Does anyone else have the problem with the HTC home plugin, when you add someone to a favorite, when you restart the phone, it resets it so that they're no longer in there? Has anyone run into this or learned how to fix it? I may re-install HTC home from HTC to see if that fixes it.

/*3) Previously I had the vibrate when I press a key when dialing working, but I've run the install from the file I had before and it no longer works. Does anyone else have a problem with this? If so, how do you fix it?*/ Fixed- I forgot after installing I needed to set the keypress back to short so it'll vibrate. The sounds are gone now and the phone just vibrates. Perfect!

Thanks again for all the awesomeness of this post!

1. PPST.exe upgrades your PRI which greatly improves w/ the GPS locking
2. open the cube (swipe finger up the screen), save the contact on the cube, it will automatically save on HTC Home

OMJ, ive flashed my vogue with the 2.31 coke and tried to update the radio to 3.37 (via your link) but the downloaded file does not execute. ive also tried looking for the 3.35 radio ALL OVER but cant seem to get a file that works. is there any way around this? Im trying to flash your OMJ 6.1 Bell rom into my vogue but keep running into this problem. thanks

I am having the same issues with the camera app as others. I tried taking a few pics the other day and it was impossible. I would hit the snapshot button and it took about 10 seconds to snap the pic and totally missed the intended shot.

Not sure if it is a reg setting or something. Does anyone know?

sorry, but I cannot duplicate this problem....my camera works fine, so I'm not sure what it would be.
