I'm currently running NFSFAN's 1.04 M2D ROM on my XV6900, but I'd like to flash to this latest 'official' Verizon updated ROM and also retain my GPS functionality. Will I be OK just running the Verizon official release ROM --> allowing customization to run --> running 'Valhalla' GPS fix?

Here's what I've done to my phone so far:
IamCokeMan's Vogue unlocker, 3.21
Sprint update w/ 3.42.3 radio
NFSFAN's VZW 1.04 M2D custom ROM

Many thanks for any advice!

yep that's right just go ahead and flash this official ROM then the GPS fix

Quick question to those using this rom... what do you have as a total and as free for your program memory? My device has a 24mb pagepool and is showing 92.8mb total, 50.7mb free...

Thank you!

do you have to have a data plan or be on the internet to use the gps?

Depends on what program you use to navigate... typically, yes

Ok... So I got a new 6900 (other one had issues) and it came pre-flashed with the official Verizon MR1 update. So I put the correct settings ("location on," etc), installed Google Maps, and then installed the Vahalla cab. Problem is that it is not working. It looks for GPS for a while (I checked using GPS Today as well) then gives up. I've tried "uninstalling" (deleting) the vahalla cab files and reinstalling a few times. Is anyone else having the issue with the official update? Know any fix?

GPS worked for me under the test rom radio 3.37.77 (that I had on my previous phone) so if I can't get it to work under this one, does anyone think the phone would explode if I tried to reflash it to the test rom? Or perhaps would just a hard-reset and not letting the customizations run fix it?

Any help would be awesome...

I'm running official update - customizations ran. Vahalla works fine - though it did give me an error message at time of installation (error message was in error). Have had one occasion when inside/cloudy day that it couldn't find satelites.

Ok... I swear my phone is out to make me crazy...

GPS is currently working fine, when it hasn't since I activated it last night.

So Yea... All is well again! Disregard my issue 2 posts above... At least for now!

I am having trouble getting the Valhalla GPS fix to work with the official Verizon WM 6.1 update, with customizations. It occurs to me that I may have made an error by installing it to the storage card instead of the device.

Has anyone had any luck with it on the storage card? Also, for what it is worth, I am also unable to remove it even with the remove CAB. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Anyone have any idea why my GPS would just stop picking up satellites? Ive been using the GPS just fine for the past 2 months and now all of a sudden It doesn't work anymore. I noticed someone mention an issue with there alarms and I did just recently install G-Alarm and it said it had to fix my alarms due to a WM bug. Im not sure if this is exactly what caused the problem, but I'm looking for a way to get my GPS working again without haveing to hard rest. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I came across this thread by a google search. So I many not have the same phone as you all.
I have the Xv6800 with the Valhalla GPS server.
My GPS hasn't been working for the past two days.
I have found in other forums that this is quite widespread for the last two days.
I'm picking up some faint chatter that the GPS goes through a server (at Verizon?) and that is now being blocked or down and not working.
It's called aGPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone

I'm hoping to find more details as more people realize it's not their phone.
