It has been discussed/debated for a long time, and there is no conclusive proof that it does anything, but some claim that it is the "hybrid" mode for gps that allows it to use a combination of cell tower triangulation, as well as satellites to obtain a fix.

You can find several days worth of reading on it if you search

Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

I am running OMJ's Custom ROM and do not have the PPST.exe file. GPS is working pretty well for me as long as I use GPS Toogle and GPSviewer to prime the CPS when I need to use it. Do you still have to use those apps after running PPST?

Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

dewMan, are you still priming TomTom with google maps, or is that no longer necessary with the leaked rom?

Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

TomTom still does not open the gps port, but AstroLauncher is a thin app that replaces the start link for TomTom, and does the priming for you.

After installing TomTom and Astro, I can now click on the TomTom Launcher link in my menu, and TomTom comes up with a lock within 30 seconds or so.

You can find the AstroGPSLauncher here:

Two options for you:
