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

[earthdan]

Thanks for the responses guys, it seems like I should try the radio 3.37.10 again. Its weird that some people are having some luck with a similar set up to what I have now tho. Also, I'm not sure if going back to a previous radio is a good idea or not. To be honest I might just wait for a bit and see if there are any more developments cus I have flashed my phone way too often in the past few weeks!
cheers

bump....

Edit: can we get this ROM posted somewhere else? I have nothing but problems downloading off PPC geeks FTP. I can get about half of what I want at any given time but I REALLY want to try this rom out and I cannot get it to download. Please help. Always fails once it staart but i have successfully flashed many roms...just cant download this one now.

no, my rom does not include a radio.....flash the leaked rom to get the new radio.

The only setup I had working gps with was your earlier bell rom and the 3.35 radio. Thinking that it would be better to have an actual vogue radio I flashed to 3.37.10 tried out the gps (didn't work) and then flashed 3.37.15 with the leaked sprint radio. I have been alternating between your oem and custom roms but still no luck with getting locks. I can see the sats (at least but no darn locks even outside on a clear sunny day.

I've flashed different radios over the past few weeks (in ascending order only) and I think there is some residual stuff in my phone from the previous radios that could be messing it up (just a guess).

I'm sure everybody is sick of gps questions but I feel a little left out haha. Even a fellow bell touch user has gps up and running (with your custom rom and 3.37.15 radio). I have tried to contact him in another thread but no answer yet.

So I was just wondering if you or anybody else had any ideas. I thought I should post in this thread instead of making a new one just because I'd really like to get this gps working with your rom cus I like it the best.

thanks for all your help so far,

here is my setup: bell touch, omj's v2 sprint custom, radio 3.37.15. GPSmode set to 4 in registry. GPS today settings --> use cell tower based positioning checked. I think thats it.......

cheers

np bro....I feel bad for ya, not gettin gps....

here's what I would do.....I would bite the bullet, downgrade your SPL, and flash back to stock Bell, and also let the Bell customization run.....then start from scratch.

Then I have installed OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.Bell.exe

Works Great but I would like to update to the new rom.

Can I go back into bootloader, install OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.OEM.Sprint.NEW.exe

then Re-install OMJ Bell, just so it can work with bell?

I honestly don't use any bell software on the phone (is there any?) so I don't really care about them but I just want to make sure it works perfectly with my carrier.

Thanks!

Can I use

if u flash OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.OEM.Sprint.NEW.exe then flash the bell rom, you'll see no benefit from the new rom. every flash overwrites the previous rom.

just flash OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.OEM.Sprint.NEW.exe it will have a sprint look but everything should work fine......maybe someday I'll cook some carrier specific rom....

the previous roms were a different build (19209), ported from the Kaiser, which had VC included.....

give it another try, I thought the FTP issue was resolved.....I had my roms on my personal site, but they were suckin up my bandwidth.

Hey thanks for the response OMJ, ya this is getting a little frustrating cus some other bell users have the exact same setup and they say there gps is working pretty flawlessly. ARRRRGGGG.

You mentioned flashing back to my original radio/rom - I've read in one of the stickied threads that its prolly not a good idea to downgrade the radio because it can leave traces of itself in the phone. So I'm a little hesitant to do that but it brings up a good point about leaving traces of radio. I kind of think thats whats going on here and my gps is getting confused. Do you know of any way to delete everything for sure in the radio part of the phone?

cheers

Hey everybody, I posted this in another thread to but I wanted to post in here so everybody faithfully following this thread could possibly benefit too:


OK guys I have a little update,
I have got gps working again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope I didn't just jinx myself. So after a bunch of mucking around I am able to get locks in under 10 seconds. How did I do this well I can't be totally sure but I'll tell you exactly what I did today:

1. I changed the gpsmode to 4
2. I tried loading up quickgps again (with the hacked registry and all) and got it to connect and work. I'm not sure if this actually did anything because my gps didnt work right after I did this.
3. I set gpstoday settings to use data when needed, and use cell tower approximations, keep device awake when in persistent mode, and i set the minimum fix quality all the way to the left.

4. Now I think what I did next actually did the trick: I went into advanced config and disabled the "use agps" and then reset. I tried to use gps after bootup and nothing locked (I think it was still seeing sats). So then I enabled the agps in advanced config and then reset, I turned on gpstoday, went to gpsviewer and bam!!!!! gps locked 4 sats after about 2 minutes. Now this is in the window of my apartment on a very rainy day in halifax, and I think it would be better outside. I have since soft reseted my phone and it now will lock in under 10 secs at the window!!!!! Not only that but deeper inside my apartment (where I usually didn't get any gps locks before) I can actually lock onto 2 sats (at least something) from a soft reset within 10 secs. AMAZING!!!!

Pretty stolked right now I hope this lasts haha. Now is this all a fluke? I'm not sure but if you are on bell or any other carrier (with OMJs newst rom) and your gps is having trouble, try doing those exact steps. Hopefully it will work for you too!!! I havent completely tested how accurate the gps is but I'll get back to you guys about that later.

BTW, thanks for putting up with all my rants about gps!!

cheers,
Dan

yes, it is not recommeneded to go back to stock....but.....I think that statement is more for staying @ stock....I went back to stock myself a week or so ago.....I also think it may be a risk, but the risk is low, especially if your flashing right back to 3.x.....no, I dont know of a way to delete the radio part.

I just read you updated post.....glad ya got it working but still sounds like a pain.....if it continues to be a hassle, you may want to reconsider my suggestion.
