OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9/08

[Shane72]

Hi there,

I ran OMJ's Verizon ROM and works great, except I'm having trouble getting the GPS to work. Here's my info:

ROM Version: 3.02.651.2
ROM Date: 4/23/08
Radio: 3.42.50
PRL Version: 51101
PRI Version: 1.37_002

I'm new at this so I played it safe and use OMJ's ROM that said it was specifically for Verizon. I noticed he had newer ones out there but wasn't sure so played it safe.

When opening the GPS Viewer app, it connts with COM4 and numbers scroll across the screen but it never finds/locks any satellites.

Thanks in advance,
Shane

did u do these steps to get assisted GPS working?... otherwise it wont lock so well unless outside and then it could still take a while.
Gaurentee it will make verizon touch gps work wonderfully. just follow steps closely!

for running DMrouter.exe, i had to instead use Fred Task manager(http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm), and run the application through its Run command (and literally type in /DIAG for the args). Resco's Run and ##3424 method didnt work for me. Also i only saw the 2 USB ports in the portion when you need to add the 2 ports (their pic has more ports).

also make sure GPS registry settings afterwards are on in HLKM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
EnableAGPS 1
EnableGPSSmartMode 1
GPSMode 4
ServerIP 66.174.95.132
ServerPort 8888

Hey I noticed these instructions are for the 6800 - will this work on my 6900 also to fix GPS?

Thanks,
Shane

All my roms are safe.....that Verizon version was based on the leaked Sprint rom....flash one of my latest 3.09 roms....then run the Verizon carrier cab.

I'll try not to come off like a jerk, but I already stated I'm sticking to the 3.09 base...it may be based on the bell rom, but it's generic....if it was clean, it would say so.

should the word guesser in the keyboard work when you are using it pretend in web browser, like typing something google or filling my username in java gmail app. i noticed it works only in certain apps but in other roms, remembered it prob worked in both.

also whats the icon below the 'write new mail message' icon, in the Mail 'tab'. pressedit and didnt do anything so got me thinking. ... i thought it was link to whole inbox maybe, but i see Inbox is link in bottom left corner.
and how do u go to the next mail message, i thought it was touching and holding the message and pulling it upwards, but that just brings up 'Tap here to launch TouchFLO'.

cant find anything else too unusual in the rom. this manilla rom is a wonderful treat.
thanks again for the Location tip, didnt realize it would get set back

the icon(s) below the 'write new mail message' icon, are your accounts, each account has it own icon.

If it ever happens to someone else, try this. It seems the new audio manager is more finicky, since that song was never a problem before. Anyhow! Loving the ROM!

cool, glad ya got it fixed

I might just add the new manilla cab over it and see how it responds. But if OMJ thinks he wants to build a custom ROM based on 3.10, that would be great, too.

i havent heard much, but i'd had to flash & test it out

Also would you consider adding Second Today to your M2D ROMs since we cant add things to the M2D today screen? amAze GPS might be a nice addition as well, voice turn by turn for free...FTW!!

umm, not sure.....which apps are you referring to, in these classic sprint roms?

Thanks OMJ-- and I wasn't saying that your ROMs aren't safe-- I just meant that as a newbie and doing this for the first time I was playing it safe and downloading the one that had "Verizon" in the title. After doing more reading, though, I'm with you-- I'm downloading your newest 3.09 and using the Verizon CAB. Thanks again!

yeah, I knew what ya meant....I just wanted to let ya know that the verizon version was basically a sprint rom but had the verizon customization.

you can also flash the bell official rom to upgrade your radio, just remember to skip the post-flash carrier customization.

is there any way to change the sms char limit from 140 to 160?
