Absolutely amazing. The gps was sketchy before this fix.

If it works for you, it sure is a great find.
Ultimately, I believe:

My 24 hours of joy came to an end just now... Started Googlemaps, it flashed 7 sats and then went dead. No sats whatsoever, ended up stuck in the ocean again.. Reset, nothing. Took battery out, nothing.... Back to GPS hell.

I then reloaded PPST and I'm back in business. Very strange...

Hopefully this will not be a recurring problem. Joy for now again.

Dutch I had the same problem. I'm thinking it's because the PPST makes some registry changes, that don't carry over when you ran PPST on the Sprint leaked rom to your kitchen rom. I ran Bogsie's PPST on my new kitchen rom and connected again. I'll need to give it a good 8 hours with no gps to see what happens.

same here, i have not been able to get a lock all day, granted it is bad weather here. i think i will run the PSST again and see what happens.

also, i had the 3.35 radio, now the one from the leaked ROM. which radio is better?

3.35 is the Titan radio, no ment for the Touch.

The leaked ROM includes 3.37.15 Sprint Radio ment for the Touch. The Update mentioned in this thread is for use in conjunction with the 3.37.15 radio, all included in the leaked ROM. (Warning for Sprint users only)

You'll notice all the threads on the Alltel ROM when it was released, it gave a 3.37.10 radio, Sprint users were advised to reset at Alltel customizations because it would render non-Alltel users' phones useless. It also included an Alltell PRI, PRL update, incompatible with non-Alltel users.

The same applies here, except we are talking about Sprint..

Hope that clears some things up,

-CC

EDIT: If Sprint users didn't reset and allowed the customizations to run, we have the previous Sprint customizations in a cab to rerun over to revert to Sprint settings. This may not be the case for non-Sprint users. YMMV

Any Bell or non-Sprint users try this yet?

I'm staying far away from this as I need my phone as a phone and for data heh and I am on bell, but my GPS works if I "prime" it first with gpsviewer.

I'm on Bell too and GPS viewer locks within 30-180 seconds for me also.
I guess we should just forget about this and be happy that it even works for us. I just want faster/instant locks, haha.

i just looked for PSST in windows, and it is not there, maybe this could be why. i guess i will DL the cab and place it in windows and see if it will work to upgrade from there.....

Actually my ppst cab was the one taking out of the Exe, so it wasn't as current as yours. It didn't update the PRI and installed an incorrect PRL. I was trying to extract the PPST you posted from the rom, but didn't have enough time while at work yesterday.
