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

[Balkar]

Hey omj, i am currently running your Bell custom rom. I tried to install the cab for kickstart and updated gps drivers and ran into some problem. after reading the thread stickied, i noticed that people who ran into the same problem as me are the ones that have a cooked rom with old drivers cooked into them. SO my 200 point question is did you cook the bell custom rom with old or new drivers?

Thanks in advance OMJ
PS: The bell custom rom i am running is the one you posted in the first post on the first day in case you updated them between the original upload and now

not sure what you consider "updated" drivers.....the drivers in all my roms are the drivers from the leaked rom.

Will I just update over OMJ's custom rom or would I have to downgrade back to the current official Sprint rom? From what I've been reading it doesn't seem wise to downgrade once you've updated.

most likely the official rom will be very similar to the leaked rom.....I would be willing to bet the radio will be a 3.xx radio, possibly even 3.37.15. all you would have to do is run the official update, you will NOT need to downgrade to the 6.0 rom.

it is possible to downgrade & go back to the stock 6.0 rom, but it is advised not to, because the the radio is written to a different location on the rom, and will not be completely overwritten if you go back to 6.0.

1. it is either the latest or fairley recent.....google does like to update often.
2. yes, it's the VistaHide battery gauge
3. that's the stock bootsplash from the leaked rom, it did not replace it on v3....you can flash this ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/OM...bootsplash.rar to overwrite....it will hard rest ya, but wont change the rom, just the bootsplash.

so far been very happy with the layout and programs in this rom. i wanted to be fairly stock and mess with one thing at a time. right now its the GPS.

-few questions to anyone who can help...

1. i'm using the verizon XV6900 and since flashing this rom i have lost the ability to text, pix, and send emails even through yahoo.. keeps saying error connecting to server.. is this an issue i have to call verizon with? btw i did do the *228 programming thing, no dice. although while doing it i recieved a few texts, but it didnt fix it for good...

2. while trying to figure out the text thing i realized my GPS today plugin was working and it damn near had my exact address! which was pretty freaking sweet... but now today i can't seem to find any satellites and its like the GPS went down or something.. seems like a common problem, just wondering what anyone else has done to make the GPS more reliable..

thanks to everyone involved in these custom roms, very helpful people here!!

I cannot for the life of my get a GPS Satellite lock.

Here's what I did:

Unlocked with 2.31 unlocker
Flashed radio to 3.37.15
Flashed OMJ's Custom Alltel Rom
Set location on
Ran ppst


I got GPSViewer to see 8 satellites but it will not lock. Google maps just keeps saying seeking as well.

GPS port is set up 4 and I change gpsmode to 4 in the registry.

Does anyone have any reccomendations?
