This is a TITAN ONLY ROM, still don't have information on the touch version. But this will only work with the Titan, that's why it's posted in the Titan forum.

Yes, you can backup your texts. I sugges you use pim backup from dotfred's. In the backup option it gives you that ability.

still can't get the GPS to work on this thing. other's have reported it working. all i've got is this update and google maps installed (to test it).

location is set on, comm ports at 4 and 4800 and manual set for managing

Have you tried applying the AGPS fix from shadow tech? If not, look for it under the titan forum. That works miracles for GPS.

isn't the AGPS fix only for the official alltel rom? also i have windows vista, and it says it doesn't work on there....

If you read further down Shadow-Tech's thread, you will see that the agps fix is compatible and ready for other carriers as well. As for the issue of you having Windows Vista, well, there's really not much that can be done there asides from getting an XP machine.

yea, after i wrote that comment i realized what all i needed to do. now its just a matter of figuring out how i'm gunna do this thing without xp? maybe ill steal the room mates computer for a night while he's sleeping. damn i hate vista....

[shadow-tech]

i only had alltel pde info when i started that thread. it works for many carriers now. i dont know if the agps fix was done with this 6.1 update. i obviously had the agps done on my phone. i do know that this rom enables the gps, just not sure if it sets up the agps.

you will need xp to run qpst to apply the fix. please let us know if the agps fix works for you.

ill check to see if any of the settings in qpst changed.

I also did not let the customization run when installing this rom. it has worked fine for me. i will dissect the ext rom to figure out what is in there and what is needed.

i havent been able to even get a lock yet with the gps on the new rom...pretty big difference from how i used to get locks within around 20 seconds on the old stock rom. i had the agps fix working great, but have done nothing yet to the qpst, registry, etc after i flashed this 6.1

Me either, I had Shadow Tech's GPS fix and the Super Fast Lock fix added to my phone before the new ROM and was getting 6 to 8 second locks on 6 to 10 satellites but now I can't get anything....

I had to redo all of shadows agps fix to get a sat lock qpst and reg edits and now it works just fine
