Tell me... what have you done since loading the ROM to get consistent and fast GPS locks? I have to wait 30 min to get a lock.
Did you simply flash the ROM and start google maps and use GPS? Is it that simple, or am I missing something?

Evandena,
It's crazy! I flashed the leaked ROM and then ran the ppst.exe file in /windows. then loaded OMJ's latest custom ROM. When I launch GPSviewer, I usually get 6-8 Sats in less than 10secs. Currently Google Maps doesn't really lock without using GPSviewer first... Did you read all the posts in the sticky section?

2. unlocker 2.31

3. OMJ.WM6.1.GPS.OEM.Sprint.NEW.exe

I already have the new Rev A ROM had followed the sticky instructions earlier when I did the upgrade couple weeks ago... have been alternating between yours and Ghetto's ROMs...

Do i still need to do steps 1 and 2 or can I jump to Step 3 directly ?

Which version did you try? The only one I know to work fairly well is 2.2.0.18-beta. If you search for it, you will find it.

***DISREGARD*** I just installed it on OMJ's Sprint Custom #1 and it froze when launching. I haven't tried the latest one from Skype.

Well OMJ,
I flashed the new verson /w new Java and everything seems to work fine at this point. When I first rebooted from the flash I did have some problems with the HTC Home showing but after playing with the today setting I'm showing all 6 tabs. I also have fast GPS locks. Now if we could get someone to come out with a 20 hr battery things would be cool! (It's funny that an iPod will last so long but a cell phone won't.)

My rev-a speed are about the same as the first rom. 1.5 Mb on the download and around 450 kb on the upload. That's fast enough. It's not like I'm doing major uploading and downloading from my phone.

Thanks for your hard work

Just installed the leaked rom on sprint touch
How do I get sprint telenav to quit looking for a blue tooth gps and use the internal?
Another version of telenav i should use?
thanks

You can use the AT&T version of telenav or flash OMJ Custom ROM which has the right sprint telenav in it. I had the same problem a while back. You'll have to search a little for the AT&T version.

Flashed first the original Sprint ROM for the radio and then v2 with 20080222 java. Opera mini 4.1 doesn't crash now but whenever I try to fill a password field, i.e. Gmail it's left blank and I cannot log in. The same happens for all password fields including on ppcgeeks.

Then I installed Jbed3Dmodheepfix from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showt...0#entry1668675. It could log in to Gmail, but showed an empty screen. Then, I started installing jbedtestgiris. Finally, I could login to gmail correctly. About of the working jbed shows 20071119 3.1. Strange, since 20080222 worked just fine in the old OMJ 6.1 Bell rom.

Just trying this rom with my Verizon vx6900...
Stuff i figured out from reading the forum which may help peeps so they dont have to read 70 pages ...

1. Figured out that the drop down menus only show up when you click the icon versus the Start Text just to the right of it, pretty cool. at first i was lazily hitting the general area and wondering why certain times got the drop down menus.
2. Colored Line/Bar at the top... figured out this is supposed to be the battery meter but the top right corner also has battery meter so not sure why needed.... remove VistaHide Battery Guage from windows/startup folder and startup phone, should be gone.
3. Phone Dialer pops up after closing a window for no reason... Use Total Commander and goto Plugins->///Registry to change the reg value HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\showtitlebarclock to 0 or 2 (I used 0)
4. To Change animation in the beginning bootup... Use the Programs->Utilities->Advanced Config program and scroll down to set the animation it to something else or even turn it off which is what i did
5. GPS is pretty good compared to other roms I tried. Uses GPSViewer to prime before google maps. I had ranges between 15seconds to 5minutes to lock on.
　
Some questions/issues:
1. When recieive text message, its sent to Pics and Video->Inbox, but when i send a text message, it is in Text Messages->Sent Messages. They should be in one area, i presume Text Messages as i didnt receive a pic message.
2. Is Pics/Video basically = MMS for Verizon? Heard some people have an MMS option but this seems like same as Pics/Video as that is multimedia messaging.
3. when phone goes into standby (like turn backlight off), gps loses lock i think? i wasnt sure if this is common as when people do driving directions, i assume they want the gps to stay locked so do they set their phone to not go into standby somewhere?
Also GPSViewer doesnt update the status of your lock which i didnt have that issue before with other rom. Many times i have to switch to the Setup Tab and go back to the GPS Status tab, and ill see i actually got a Aquiring 3D a long time ago.
4. in ghettoryder's vista700 rom, when using the keyboard, it has nice horizontal spelling check/word suggester that doesnt block/popup the document. The vertical popup is a lil off to me. Anyway to replace it with a horizontal word suggester without cooking my own rom?
5. How do you change the default chef screen, wanted to add a custom one i photoshopped? I saw OMJ suggested to someone to flash another rom first to change back to stock screen. But that seemed like a different question as that user swtiched to another rom but still had the chef bootscreen and wanted to know how to change it. I dont want ot flash to another rom, want to stick with OMJ's but i want to change the chef screen.
6. ICS how to get this to work? I see Internet Sharing under Programs, and then use the PC connection: USB and but in the Network Connection it says 'Data Network Connect' which seems to dial Verizon's #777 to get data access which i assume costs money. Anyway to just use my PC's connection to surf without dialing Verizon? How do you get another option like 'use USB' in that Network Connection drop down to use?

Help! I did the 2.31 unlocker and flashed it with the 0823 ROM. After the ROM updated completed I saw the customization was going to run in 3 seconds so I tried to do a soft boot. I wasn't able to reboot so I let the customization run. Afterwards, I tried calling to my voicemail and now it says that phone is not authenticated. Tried getting to the internet but it's dialing out on Sprints broadband. I saw a post to just call #2539 to get my phone authenticated but just get a repeated recording for 30 minutes running that it's trying to authenticate my phone. Any help would be appreciated
