jpc0480,

thanks for giving us the extra info. but the point of this particular thread was to get gps to work on an official rom without unlocking the phone. there are pros and cons to custom roms. I have used custom roms since day 1 on my 6700 and 6800. but i keep finding there to be glitches and little annoying things. i dont have time to constantly reflash every time a problem is found. on the other hand many of the great chefs out there KNOW what we want better then the phone companies do. and eliminate the garbage in the rom and give us bonus appz. but lets keep this on topic here. many people have these as corporate phones and custom rom is not an option. i find the official rom to be the most stable i have ever run. but like i said, this discussion is for a different post and lets stay on topic here. i do appreciate the fact that u recognized many people here are first time posters and you are trying to help them out.

If you people want to say thanks for this then there is a button under my name that says "Thanks" feel free to click that. not that i really care though. itll just save you some typing

Just went through the process. Took me about 6 minutes total from install to acquisition of satelites. I already had the new Rom and had Google Maps installed.

Works like a charm. I was in Nigeria for 2 minutes then I was back in the USA

This will be an awesome add on thanks for your insight. =D>
