Wow guess it does work if you run the .EXE. I extracted to see whats inside and it didnt work for some reason from there.

I just did it and confirmed the radio is better. After you flash to the new one, stop at the "tap to begin" screen, and let activesync do its job. and then flash to a verizon rom!!!

HARD RESET BETWEEN EVERY FLASH AND DO NOT TAP THE SCREEN TO BEGIN UNTIL YOU FLASH BACK TO A VERIZON ROM

I'm suprised by vaxick's results. Maybe I'm way off, but I wouldn't think vzw users would get agps locks since we don't have verizon's PDE server ip/port. Have any other verizon users with the new sprint radio been getting locks without a clear view of the sky?

u can run the rom.. just don't allow customization to run.. jus reset right before customization occurs. u can tap screen and go through that... customization only tries to run on first boot .

I'm also on vzw and with the radios from both the leaked Sprint rom and the new one, I get locks inside my house.

Not having aGPS does not mean you can't get a signal inside your house. Some places in your house you're not going to be able to get a signal, but other places you can.

I will report now though that my GPS isn't locking on quickly like it was for the past few hours. Could be because the sun is setting and it's having troubles inside now, but I'm not really going to test it too much until a ROM comes out later this week.

Well there still is a GPS driver issue, which i'm sure will be addressed soon enough. My signal strength in general is better. And even though it doesn't lock on as quick, I CAN confirm that My GPS has stayed locked on for the last hour. I actually locked on to 5 satellites compared to the 2-3 in other radios.

EDIT: after going out of standby for an hour, my gps locks on instantly. this has been a few times now. hope this continues

it would be great for you verizon guys to write a step summary of what you did to unlock....

So this is not right out of standby, you have to do a long lock first right?
