Okay so if I'm coming from the stock rom of the XV6900 (nothing modified) and I install the new leaked verizon rom, LET the costumization run, do the valhalla gps server procedure, I will be able to use the GPS with 3rd party navigation apps?

I would think so... I can test tomorrow at work with a brand new unmolested xv6900 if you can wait to be sure.

I did it on my friends and it worked, good find

I't the guy who posted at ppchaven. I had a less than one week old xv 6900, flashed the leaked ROM and then installed the valhalla gpsserver and google maps. I got a lock with 6-8 satelites in about 10 seconds, and google maps works fine. I will be flying to the Twin Cities tomorrow, and plan to see how it works for navigation over there.
The ROM seems very snappy, and stable. I like the threaded text messages also.

I forgot to mention that I did let the customizations run.

I can verify that this works as mentioned... Just installed the Vahalla cab, soft reset (as required by the cab)... And now I have GPS lock in less than 30 seconds (8-10 satellites indoors by the window)

This is the vogue radio 3.37.77 designed for the vogue only. I removed it directly from the VZW test rom and recompiled it as a radio only .nbh. This is a radio only rom designed to be flashed from imcokeman's bootloader from sd card and doesn't require a hard reset. Copy VOGUIMG.nbh to root of fat32 micro sd card and place phone in bootloader and it will run.

I'm trying to get this to run on mine. I've got it placed in the root of my SD card and when I fire up the bootloader, it doesn't apply the image.

I let the dang customizes run and screwed up my data connection a while back. Had to go in and correct a bunch of NAM settings and got it working, but *228 still doesn't work. Thinking a radio upgrade might fix that for me and would be nice to have an updated vzw radio. TIA for any help/advise.
