OMJ's Alltel Rom- Awesome! but I have GPS Problems

tdemeza · #1 (**permalink**) 05-16-2008, 10:23 AM

I was wondering if someone would cook up a good Alltel ROM for me that works with GPS. I have the 3.37.10 radio already. I have tried a bunch of ROM's and I just cannot get GPS to work at all. I even tried the latest OMJ ROM for Sprint with the Today GPS plugin, which looks REALLY COOL, but it still never locked on a satellite. I am very frustrated at this moment because I am totally lost with what a Kitchen is as opposed to a ROM, and what ROM's work on which devices...

Anyway, if someone would kindly cook up a working ROM for my Alltel HTC Touch that has the Today GPS, and all the other cool stuff but modified for ALLTEL, I would really appreciate it.

Sorry to be so stu, stu, stu, stupid about this stuff. But I am trying my darndest to get fully emerged in enhancing my phone, I just don't know where to start. I keep reading and reading and reading and a few lightbulbs have gone off, and I've been able to flash, but still don't get what goes with what and why.

Thanks for helping if you can!

For starters...WELCOME to PPCGeeks!

For your gps problem, i am not aware that anyone with anyrom has licked that problem yet. I'm not really interested in the GPS part at all. Mine is more of a PDA/PHONE/REV_A_Tethering device, I'm just as happy as can be with that! I prefer a more specialized device if I want to take a random roadtrip. I use my garmin to find my way back home.

Well maybe that explains a lot, or at least means I need to clarify my question. Is everyone with an Alltel touch having to teather to a Bluetooth GPS device to use 'real time moving' maps on your phone? If so, I totally missed that one. I thought people were enabling the GPS in the phone so they did not have to carry another device with them.

Thanks,
Tim
