I understand these device better than most contributing to the help of this problem right now. You choose to change your mind and not stick to your guns when you feel the tasking may be difficult. This is why you see spaghetti junctions.

Thank you

Scott, you have my sincere apology. This was written before you cooked up a special rom for me which I intend to try today and appreciate very much. It was at a point of frustration and confusion. I certainly do not want to give an negative impression to anyone otherwise, the "dead ends" and "spaghetti junctions" was how it seemed in my mind at that point. Let it be known that your work is of great help. I see others in same perdicament as I and hope we can get this all defragged and all on the right road..the GPS no verizon restriction road!!!=D> leslie

First install Valhall GPS cab then install Franson's GPSgate. It allows you to create a simulated hardware port for TomTom and those type programs that need a hardware port to lock into. I have done this so I know for a fact it works.

If you need help I can try to help you get there. Where are you at now?

Scott,

Yes I know about the combo of Valhalla and GPSGate. As you will see in this thread I have been advocating this for quite a long time. What I am trying to understand is if gpsapi.dll needs to be dropped into the root of each 3rd party app, like TomTom or iGo8. It seems this is the case but I am trying to confirm this.

Second I am working on an ultra clean ROM that has no extraneous stuff in it. The purpose of this is to keep the OS clean and simple, while giving me the flexibility of adding anything via cab.

Thanks,
Steve

Better wait til the software is officially launched, expected end of december last i heard....and head's up, if you're returning it for another device, be aware you'll only get another 6900 that's a refurb, whole company is cracking down on equipment discounting...too many ppl trying to bend rules since the Storm was announced to get one free.

No it does not need to be if provisioned correctly in the registry.

Before I explain any of this let me ask you a serious question...

Why on earth do you want to worry about that when I have already stripped out the DRM on the GPS?


Anyways, here is a hint... Look very closely at the valhall cab. All the answers are right there if you know how to read a cab file. Specifically the registry. You seem like that type of guy that understands that from reading some of your other posts. Its basically just telling windows where the new default driver is and to use that. The reason VZNav still works is because I believe its hard coded to the drivers in \windows\. I dont know this for a fact but the cab should tell you. I used ot know how but I think its lame to use the cab. I would rather rip the ROM apart and fix it right the first time ;c)
(Yes i know that is not for everyone but its me)

But seriously please explain what you are trying to accomplish as I just am missing something. I am not saying this to be snotty, I really dont understand what you are ultimately trying to create. I just cant keep up with all the threads these days. The thread in my signature block is about to hit 500 posts over at XDA!!!! And that was for my Titan ROM btw.

Ide like to be able to help but I dont know what it is you are doing, ahhahahaha

On side note, cracked body could classify as physical damage depending on the mood of the warehouse guy...and if he says physical damage, you get charged the RETAIL price of equipment! My advice: if it's just the body, do what I did, buy a case for a sprint 6900 off ebay, and have a cooler looking 6900!

I just bought a verizon branded Gel Skin cover for $5.00 at the local store. They are on clearance. Looks awseome but only colors are black and pink. I went with the black but was hoping for a blue like my titan....

Scott,

Thanks for the help but I am done with this. The combo of Valhalla/GPSGate does work for those that let customizations run. You just have to drop gpsapi.dll into the directory of the GPS app you want to use.

Now as you said I am onto using your unlocked kitchen. This is my final ppost in this thread since there is really no more to do.
