Any pointers as to HOW you got TT working on you XV6900? I downloaded and installed it but now I'm in to a catch-22 over the maps. I launch it, run through the setup, and it ends with a PIE screen at tomtom.com that says I can't download the free map for my device.

Fine. I'm not cheap. So I bought a $50 map at tomtom.com and now I can't download it because I don't have device ID!!

hey negamann, still trying to get perfect GPS... using your rom currently...
some tips: the Scenarios.exe, i dont know what it is, but it shows up at the bottom of my HTC Home items, but cant get rid of it. doesnt work either when click on it. Also BeeJiveIM doesnt work when i install it. worked on another rom, do u have the .NET and SQL apps it needs? thought i read u did in first page.

visualGPSce seemed to not jump around but HTC GPS Tool did. haha i keep switching on what is the 'better gps' priming app. im gonna setttle on visualGPSce. if it jumps around, ill turn off, take battery out, go back to HTC GPS Tool, clear memory for a sec. then start visualGPSce, think im gonna settle to test that way haha.

Hey i did include net and sql. scenarios didnt work for me first try, but i reflashed the same rom and everything worked. I think the first time was due to a bad flash. It does happen. sorry i moved my rom and the list of everything included to http://forums.inventingminds.net/

i got the dreaded the crack on outer casing. should i run Imacokeman unlocker, i think .40 (anyone got a link for it?) then flash the stock verizon rom? i know the GPS radio doesnt get downgraded, hopefully insurance isnt going to bug me about it. anyway clear steps will help, thanks.

[negamann]

Dont apologize at all! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't even have the opportunity to have GPS. It's just weird that it stopped working. I thought at first it was cuz of the rain and stuff we were having, but now the skies are pretty clear so I wasnt sure. It would get a fix in less than 10 secs last night. It's weird.

My pagepool size may be too low. currently 16MB. im gonna test some more tonight. I don't get it, I flashed mine with the exact same rom and It's been the most stable rom i've had to date

[negamann]

I've re-created the rom using 24MB pagepool this time. It's been good to me so far. Ive also added iContact and all keyboards
