Please advise how to emerge from stone age

Hi all - thanks in advance for your patience.

A few months ago I grew unbelievably tired of the limitations of my stock xv6800 and was delighted to discover this community. With all of the helpful info on this site, I flashed several custom roms on my phone, finally settling on No2Chem's 506x (can't remember exactly which one). With the recent QPST gps magic, I then got unbelievable GPS. That is, until it got weird a month ago. Then yesterday (in the midst of a 10-hour car trip) it died completely, and BAF GPS toggle's giving me the Error@Init [Please Report]: 109.

Well, seems it should be time to experience the latest and greatest custom ROM anyway as I've had this one for quite a while. Much to my chagrin I see that No2Chem is a bit MIA. From what I can gather, there are fixes for the GPS issue, but they all seem to pertain to MR1 and 2 which I think are new, official Verizon ROMs.

Could some of you kind souls give me some advice on how to proceed? I'm happy with how my 506x ROM is running, but would be even happier if there was a much better option around. Are the offerings on No2Chem's website the best bet, and how are the -M and -S and "3" ROMs for the Titan different?

I tried on several occasions back in the day to cook my own ROMs from the kitchen, but my custom ROMs were always so bloated and slow, even when I tried to make them bare-bones. N2C's ROMs were always SO much faster - it wasn't even close. Perhaps things have changed - is the kitchen worth a shot?

Advice please!

Many thanks.

There is a fix for custom roms also. Look at joshkeller77 signature here on the last page. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61558

Many thanks, fellas - tried the kitchen and at first was delighted but it's getting slow and buggy as my recipes always do - trying No2Chem NueRom-M now.

Thanks for the Telus link - will try it as soon as the new Rom flashes.

Sure appreciate it!
