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

[earthdan]

Hey OMJ, thanks for your responses, in regards to reseting before customizations, I was talking about if you want to load the leaked sprint rom (the one that is the exe file) not your rom based on the sprint leak. The reason to use the original sprint leaked rom is so we can get the newest radio, and then flash yours. But I have been led to believe that you don't want to let customizations run on when flashing the sprint leaked rom.

I actually loaded up your rom (based on sprint leak) first but noticed my radio was still 3.35 so I flashed the original sprint leaked rom to get the radio. I'm still on that rom now cus I want to try out the gps first before I flash anything else.

haha that was a really convoluted post......
cheers

edit: by the way my dl/up speeds on the sprint rom are about the same as they were before

I like to share my experience with everyone and wish everyone the same results.

This is by far, the most solid and very best GPS experience bare none.

I've used plenty of ROMs as a matter of fact, I burned a minimum of six ROMs last week in an attempt to find the best combination. Unfortunately all were hit and miss. Nonetheless, I've found what I would call the best combniation.

I flashed the Sprint's leaked ROM which updated my radio to 3.37.15. After doing so, I noticed my phone being able to lock onto satellites within a minute without the need of any "kick start/primer" applications. All I did was launch Windows Live and it worked out of the box!

Just to make sure, it wasn't a quirk, I flashed it once again, SAME RESULTS! Everything worked out of the box. I then then flashed CokeMan's 2.31 SPL and proceeded with OMJ's new 6.1 OEM ROM. Everything contined to work flawlessly. I'm now going on my second day with this and do not believe I will flash anything else. I'm very satified and hav a flawless rev a/gps combination!

Thank you OMJ!!!!

WOW,, just finished reading this ENTIRE thread...... After I flashed this ROM onto my Alltel touch and I gotta say this is the best WM6.1 Rom I have tried so far..

A couple observations.

1st it must be something about the alltell .exe and the 37.10 radio cause through about four different Roms I have NEVER had any GPS problems. I do not get REV. A speeds. My Alltel rep says REV. A is not operational on our towers YET.

2nd The guys an this board are great. almost every problem I have seen on my phone with this new ROM has been solved in the last 46 pages of this thread (so if you are reading this with a problem go back and read the thread some of the problems are answered 5 and 6 times).

3rd I have two carrier specific questions. As I said I am on Allltel and like every other WM6.1 Rom there is no MMS on this. I saw OMJ told a guy that he would get it onto his VRZ ROM but nothing for Alltel can you add this in for us Alltel users???
and can I add the Sprint TV cab into this Rom since it is based on a Sprint OEM???

4th and biggest of all thanks to all you chefs this would not be nearly as fun without you guys and PPCGeeks .......

I'm confused. Didn't you have CokeMan's 2.31 SPL loaded when you were testing out the other GPS ROMs and for flashing the Sprint leaked ROM? Why did you have to flash Cokeman's 2.31 before going to OMJ's new ROM? More importantly, do I need to have something OTHER than CokeMan's 2.31 to flash the Sprint Leaked ROM and btw, which exact link did you use to get the Sprint leaked ROM?
Please explain...

Hi Deegimus. At the time of installation I had reverted back to a OMJ's 6.1 Stock Sprint ROM without GPS, which required me to install CokeMan's older .40 SPL.

The leaked rom is at http://ppckitchen.org/misc/V3.02.rar


My steps where as follows...

1. Install CokeMan's 2.31 SPL

2. Flash with RUU_Vogue_4350_PPST_SpeciallNBH_SPRINT_WWE_3.02.65 1.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_0823_Test .exe (included in V3.02.rar)

3. Flash OMJ's OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.OEM.Sprint.NEW.exe

I did not install anything else.

Garmin Mobile XT, Google Maps and Microsoft Live all recognized the GPS without the need to "prime or kickstart" the GPS.

Satelite locks were all under a minute and tested in both San Jose, CA and Las Vegas, NV.

Call it luck, call it what you will, this is the best combination I've seen for my device.

Thats exactly what I did, and I still cannot get a lock no matter what I try.
Are you simply opening Google and selecting "use GPS"?

This is correct, took about 30 seconds to lock.

Has your luck stayed the same for a few days now? I wound up with the problem everyone else has that the gps just stopped... but I think "priming" with gpsviewer seems to have solved that issue for me.

I'm at the end of my second or third day. I will keep everyone posted if anything changes. So far, so good.

Hey a2k did you copy over the extra gps file after you loaded omjs rom? (or before),
cheers
