Okay I give up on dropped data connections with 3.27 radio but really really want all the fixed things in wm6.1.. I like the SMS (can live without it tho) and the newer MMS that allows you to add recipient... I'm sure there are other things too but those pop out as the most significant....
anyways... Is there any dcd rom I can use that has wm6.1 that will work with a radio version less than 3.27? And if so, which radio? I have only tried 1.40 with good luck but I see there are others out there... Any versions links and words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated so I can stop flashing the hell out of my titan and start using it as a phone instead of a science project
oh ya... need verizon roms too ...
k thnx bye
dcd has said he will be releasing a 2.17 based ROM with 6.1 in it. It will be version 1.7.0 from what I hear. Coming very soon, just working out some small issues.
awesome! thanks very much.. will keep my eyes glued to forums looking for it...

yea its on his forum i think
Looks like the Touch has received a new ROM also. The radio is shown as version 3.37.10. This phone has the same radio as the Titan from what I remember reading (correct me please if I am wrong). Maybe this radio, along with possible other driver improvements, would offer enhancements to our phones?

New Alltel radio is 03.37.20
Thanks for the update. It was pointed out to me over at ppcgeeks that this information is stale. I apologize for posting irrelevant information.
I guess this isn't WM6.1 from the lack of threaded text messaging.
I am not asking you to divulge any info that your verizon source asked you to keep quiet. Nothing will make your insider info dry up faster than this. We all respect this.
However, hypothetically speaking, what would the advantages be to using verizon's upcoming rom/radio vs DCD's latest and greatest. We already have gps, great speed (although I don’t think I'm getting rev A speed), and stability.
I cringe at the thought of having to reflash and spent hours reloading all my programs if there are no clear benefits, except it being from verizon.
I echo the sentiments of allenfdavis:
GC14 - can you update the first message in the thread you started with verizon indicating advantages / disadvantages of moving to the Verizon ROM?
DCD / GC14 - I'd love to see a sticky thread with a message that covers the links to the latest kitchen, the most critical additional CABs, and news of Verizon / Sprint feature support.
There are no advantages.
I, for one, will not be using the Verizon update. The main purpose it's going to serve is new drivers, new packages, and HOPEFULLY with some work, a Verizon Wireless PDE location server IP/Port.
I guess it also will come in handy if you have to replace your device...no more having to relock and go back to stock...just reflash the update.
Ok So I have been reading around the last few days, I have a titan and my buddy has a kaiser. There seems to be a ton of roms out for the kaiser... But for the titan all i see is dcd's kitchen Which I like and am currently using .. But am I just not seeing the rest?

Just not seeing the rest....go over to PPCGeeks there are a lot of ROMs and the PPC kitchen
everything that you will ever want/need is in the extremely stable DCD roms.
i would recommend 325 or 326, flash it using a micro SD card you will have zero issues. and a phone you never knew you had.
FYI ROM and Radio are on 2 different chips to you will need to flash 2 diffrent software Radio software and OS software. follow his wiki you will be fine. or ask and we will guide you.

Although DCD's roms are great there are plenty of other stable roms out there....this is no disrespect to DCD....all I am saying is that there are plenty more out there which is what the OP asked for....go explore there are many great roms and not so great....it is all personal preference....
ok well i have the latest dcd and .40 rom and it's great just very light and lacking alot of charechter. Seems like the tilt roms have a little more "pizzaz" to them. I went to ppcgeeks and I assume the forum is where the rom's are posted. I still could only find 2-3 in the 4 pages of forum I found. And the latter of the two was very outdated.

128 MB of RAM on such models decreases the desire and goal to go GUI light.
For myself, I've gone back to one of the final WM 6 OS builds for my Titan simply because it just works. Sometime soon I may again present to the forum that kitchen with the current app/utility/dialer/carrier updates. With WM 6.1 builds I've often come across odd software incompatibilities (I do like SPB Plus), sporadic pauses upon bringing up the dialer in time to receive a call, odd hard keyboard bugs, etc. I've just decided that I must rely on my phone and am lacking the time and interest to keep flashing to new ROMs when I'm already satisfied with what is. I'll keep that on to retain GPS, and wait until I upgrade to a CDMA Diamond Pro (looking like October for Telus with the CDMA Diamond 'Victor' already over a week old) to again get the new item urge for more experimentation.
As others have said, choose what's best for you.
Hi hkwildboy,
Great appreciation to hkwildboy discovering such an solution for quick GPS locking ........ & here is a CAB who find difficulty in editing Reg edit......
Mod's just for an awareness among all members i created new thread as this is a most essential part (GPS locking) most people complain of......
As per the feed back from senior's i came to know that the cab i attached was not working so please forgive me ...this thread will be closed.
Is the cab uninstallable?

Yes it is uninstallable......
I'm trying it out on AT&T Fuze with Shep's 3g. I'm indoors and cannot get a fix with the standard setup. Outdoors I usually get a fix within a minute or so. I will report if this improves my experience later this evening.
Thank you for sharing this.
no feed bscks
With admitted limited use, I would tend to confirm reduced lag. I was not able to get locks indoors at home or at work either with or without the cab installed so no improvement there. The lag reduction alone makes the cab worthy of install however, as I must also admit to seeing no ill/adverse effects from the install. Thanks for the heads up.

the cab does only help in speed lock of gps , would not help at places where you are not exposed to open space to get sat signals also depends on radio as well, i am residing at place where i do not get a proper signal...can't expect gps to work.
Does it also reduce lag or was that my imagination? I didn't think it could do anything for signal, but I know many woould like to see an answer to that question. Thanks again for making us aware.
Well I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but you do realize that both 5.08 and the new 5.10 Raphael drivers have already addressed the lock-on/aGPS issues, right ????
All you need is a newer radio, and those new drivers. Any ROM here on XDA has those drivers implemented by now.
This file/reg tweaks are really only useful if you're still running the stock ROM. In which case, how much use are you REALLY getting out of XDA ????
In any case, this fix is for stock ROM's. if you're running NATF, or Energy, or ROMeo's, or Da_G's custom ROMS, the fix for this has already been done, on the HTC side.
I'm running 6.5, and since aGPS is actually working, I'm getting locks in under 15 secs, in under 5 if I'm already connected to the internet.

I don't want to get into any theological debate over the good and evil of it, but there's a lot of people who, for various reasons, are stuck using the stock roms or they are too fearful of flashing.
Just an example, a buddy of mine works for AT&T. One of AT&T's policies (like every other major carrier) is to hand out different handsets to the employees so that they can become familiar with them. Next month he's supposed to sample the Fuze. These types of fixes will actually be pretty useful to him for the purpose of making the fuze realistically functional.

I understand where you're coming from. However, most of XDA's fame and notoriety came from ROM's. Nowadays, it has fixes/updates to things, but at its core, its a place for custom ROMs for HTC phones.
BTW, I should have clarified. AT&T released an official, updated ROM for the Fuze. It, among other things, addressed this issue. So if someone is scared to run a custom ROM, they can always just flash to the official update, and still, problem solved with aGPS.
I have worked for AT&T, so I now the specific program you're referring to. By now, all Fuze's should be shipped with latest update. And even if not, its not very hard to flash to something he likes, and then flash it all back to stock when he needs to turn it in....
And btw, not every carrier does that. At least, not the one I work for now....

I may be mistaken, as I only spent a few minutes looking, but I can't find an officially released rom update for the Fuze anywhere on HTC or AT&T's site. AT&T's support FAQ claims there's no updates yet. Assuming these sites aren't misrepresenting the facts, I'm pretty sure you're mistaking the firmware update with the Leaked version here: A-GPS works in 5.08 leaked AT&T ROM. Keep in mind, that version leaked less than 6 weeks ago and AT&T is famously slow to release.
You're picking at exactly the point I said I didn't want to get into, that we shouldn't be discussing "To Flash or Not To Flash". Fact is that there's some people who can't...or won't...flash their phones, but installing a cab that notably improves GPS performance with minimal (at this point, virtually zero) risk is surely good for them. There's no reason to knock a good solution if it exists. My point is, XDA isn't just about the latest ROMs, and from the reading I've been doing on here for the last couple of years, I don't believe it's ever been just about the roms.
I'd be willing to bet there's going to be a fair number of people getting use out of this fix. Nearly 300 downloads in just the last 3 days, I suspect at least 10% of those downloaders are getting a lot out of XDA without using a custom rom. In other words, cut these guys some slack, they're doing good work even if it doesn't apply to the majority.
Hi krish_nank
This cab works well with my rom : ROMeOS v.1.95.1 WWE.
Regards,
PB
speed_pour and mexiken stay on topic please.
if you both want to discuss certain things that don't concern the meaning of this thread please pm each other or do it on the msn.
you both have installed the cab? if yes, what are the experiences?
thanks and regards

in which way did it worked well? i know it is for faster gps locks.
But can you be more concrete?
thanks
I dont suppose this also corrects the gps satellite bars for signal not showing does it ?
(IE TomTom , Igo , and a few others dont report the signal strength )
Thanks Much
GSM Raphael owners take note!
pretty funny. Also a good indication of the subjectivity of this problem and the power of the "placebo effect".
Sorry to say, but this cab really doesn't do anything. It sets pollinterval to 500 which is below the 1 second chip update capability. Da_G demonstrated the ineffectiveness of this. Pollinterval should be 1000. Also this cab sets the logs to 32, another setting that has been proven ineffective.
To fix the missing satellite display, TomTom must be upgraded to v7.910.9185.
There is an AT&T test ROM underlying acquisition time fixes to the GPS system. This correctly enables AGPS resulting in consistent 15 second lock times. It has no effect on position lag.
If you really want to understand GPS issues you must patiently read through the entire mammoth thread located in the raphael forum titled "touchpro GPS lag problems". Switch to the forum and sort by views. It is one of the most viewed threads there. It describes in great detail the various GPS issues starting on about post 300. Videos and real cabs containing tested tweaks are there too.
Here is your quiz. Once finished reading you will be able to easily understand and differentiate between these:
what is position lag?
what is speed lag?
what is a cold start, warm start, hot start?
what is ephemeris and how does AGPS affect this?
how does AGPS differ from QuickGPS?
Why does AGPS have no effect on either lags?
More importantly, you will understand exactly what you need to do to turn your Raphael into one of the absolute best handheld GPS devices out there.
Or, you could just load one of the fixed ROMs and run TomTom v7.910.9185 (yes, position lag is partially based on the navigator you are using)

Hi Sir, May be i was wrong as i am not a technically sound person about the mobile working.....if you really believe this cab doesn't have helped any one or doesn't help any way....please close the thread.....once it is done i will delete the cab too. I don't want to waste many people time & useless long thread with out working fix.........
By the way it is been mentioned that this cab act as an tweak to get quick satellite fix not to correct a lagging problem ....
Please close this thread if possible or delete the thread itself Thank you
