I have a Sprint Touch Pro which I have "Verizonized" and is now running the VZW Leaked Rom. The bad news is GPS sucks. It is unlocked, but it is really entirely ineffective. I rarely get any fix at all. So, I'd love to install the QuickGPS App from the Sprint ROM. Anyone know where I can get a version of it what will work on the VZW Rom? I have found Mogul versions, but every version throws up an "unsigned or missing component" error message when I run the app.

Of all the Roms I've tried so far on the Titan; dcd 2 and radio 3.27 is the best.
GPS is working well. The phone has not locked up or freeze while bluetooth is on; bluetooth is working well Voice Command. Using 65%-70% memory at all times.
Excellent rom dcd - thank you!!
One question: I am current using dcd rom 2 BETA; any changes made that should make me install non-beta???? Thanks.
Provider?
You should say which provider you have with your Titan. Some folks with VZW had issues with authentication or other troubles, some on VZW had no issues at all. So which provider do you have that all is working well, I know I want to know.
And Dcd has now released his 2.1.0 rom with Windows Mobile 6.1...
mine is working pretty good to, Sprint with 2.0.0 Beta. The only real problem I've seen is that sometimes after closing a program thats running GPS the phone gets reeeeeaaaal slow for a minute, or sometimes freezes up.
using sprint; sorry i forgot to mention.
The TELUS one is working flawless. Excelent job. No freez, all option are working ;-) thanks
With the beta it would literally take me about 5 min just to find service....data was real flakey too. Not sure if it was the rom...radio...or what. With the 2.1.0 rom I get services as soon as the device comes up after a soft reset. Data is 100X better for some reason. Anyway....thx!
There is no Java on my phone after upgrading to this rom. I cant install google maps or opera mini. What can I do?
Hey guys
As the topic says i am trying to upgrade my verizon xv6800 from radio 3.35.04 to the latest and greatest as well as the new dcd build. I was wonder what should i expect when i start doing this. Last time i had to call in to verizon support to get my phone working again.
Also i had to install my version of arcsoft mms in order to get it all working together, will i have to do the same thing this time? Also in order to install the the new radio i was told i need a non sdhc micro-sd card (which i do not have) is there any way to go around this? last time i went with the official sprint update, and stopped it from booting then loaded up dcd. will that work this time as well? btw, i am using vista 64-bit (as i was last time as well). i do however have access to a 32 bit vista computer as well, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry if i nubed up a little bit, but the last time i did this i also went through very carefully with the community's supports. Thank you guys in advanced =)

1st - No, you will not have to call Verizon to get an A-key.
2nd - If you run the Verizon Carrier cab that is posted on the 1st page of this post this post , then run the attached MMS cab that DCD created, your MMS will work....
3rd - Radio - Just so you know, when you flash the Sprint 3.39 full ROM+Radio, your boot screens will change and say something like "TEST - Not for Resale" so your will have to live with it or go here to change those screens... Thx to GC14
Make sure to NOT run the customizations from Sprint.....
just to be sure the customizations happen after the part where you tap the screen to calibrate the touch screen?
YES.... At that screen, goto the Bootloader screen (Press POWER + CAMERA + RESET w/stylus), the tri-color screen should show up.
Thanks did it. But now it seems that my GPS doesnt even get a lock. Looking through, i am missing quickgps app which i had on my old dcd 3.0.1.
I installed the quick gps app and did all the steps neccary to make sure it works properly with the cracked app file. The i even went as far as to try that titan gps fix that requires me to use the QPST program. so far to no avail, i am unable to get a lock.
OK all, I have just read inescpbl's post regarding his unfortunate upgrades, and I'm happy to say I didn't bung things up the same way, but more want to get your thoughts on my P4000's current state, and if there are any further updates that could smooth things over.
Basically, I did the following:
Upgraded bootloader to 2.40
Installed Radio 3.39
Installed No2chem's latest
Nothing worked.
Installed DCD 3.2.3
Installed Radio 3.42.50
Installed Telus CAB to allow for internet
Was able to surf internet and use google maps
Updated programming and PRL with *22803
Now, I can make calls but internet is like a yo-yo, with 90% of the time not working. When it does, Google Maps is unable to receive GPS satellites.
My question is, after all of this, the setup feels buggy. Is there something I have missed or should do?
Thanks in advance to anyone with their 2 cents to spare...
I've never had to update prl. Im with telus too. only thing i've done other than flash new roms is do the GC14 gps fix. Never had a problem with the P4000 being 'buggy' as you say it.
Hey guys
I just flashed up to WM 6.5, on a rom from xda-dev's. My carrier is Sprint.
I used to be able to get a GPS fix in <2 seconds on my stock rom, after I used the quickgps utility to update it.
Now I can't get a gps fix at all after flashing. I hard-reset right after flashing, installed the quickgps tool, and updated it. I can't get a fix no matter what I try, HTC GPS tool, google maps, etc.
The only other thing I can think of is to use the Verizon GPS fix, but I don't want to apply it yet because I'm on sprint.. (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49933)
What else can I try to get the GPS back functioning?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Joe
siliar gps problems here!
both my roommate and i are having similar problems.
i drove for 45 minutes yesterday and left gps viewer running and at some point i got a lock. my roommate could not get a lock.
before flashing NFSROM, both of us were getting locks very quickly.
i have tried to install quickgps but have not found any versions online that will install and work on the custom rom...
anyone else seeing this or got any advice?
thanks!

I'm having the same exact issue regardless of what ROM I'm using. I tried reverting to the stock radio and was able to get a lock about 12 hours ago but now I can't. However, I can get a lock using the stock rom but not with a 3rd party rom.
I think I am having the same problem as everyone else with the Alltel TP GPS. I have absolutely no luck finding satellites in my hometown, yet if I travel out of my hometown I can get signal 99% of the time. I tried locking in while I was driving back from work (Ocala, FL) to my hometown (Sarasota, FL) and it worked all the way to my house. As soon as I turned I turned Google Maps off it couldn't find me anymore.
I have tried all the tricks to make it work including the obvious "turn on my location".
If anyone have a solution that works please let me know. I have heard that if you use the Alltel Nav program then the GPS picks up very well, so there must be something there.
can anyone help?
if you are running stock rom its a little finniky at GPS but if your running a custom rom then its a lot better... also the stock radio seems to be little strange...
if your not running stock what are you running?
do you have quick gps installed?
I am using the stock rom. I am not familiar with other ROMs, I haven't looked into that aspect of it yet. What is the best ROM for an Alltel phone (IYO)? Do the other roms still use TouchFLO? Am a very graphic person, so I like the prettyness of TF3D.
i had problems getting a satellite lock in my home town when i had my 6800 with my tp its much better i am running energy rom found here over at ppcgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69545. i really think it just has to do with the area/amount of towers. there has been some discussion about needing gps services turned on on alltels side. Saying that if you sign up for there navigation service they will open up gps and then cancel service(i have never used their service and get gps). It sometimes would take awhile for me to get a lock and then only pick up one or two satelites then out of area i would pick up a bunch. have u tried htc gps tool? also check out visual gpsce. try all different radios too. im curently running the vzw rapael radio found here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616. once you flash over your alltel radio u will not be able to flash it back stock since the alltel radio has not been dumped yet (something i was not aware of when i flashed). im going to bet though if you unlock your phone and flash a custom rom your gps lock will be better. good luck!
I installed ConFlippers Rom for the Alltel TPs and I like it a lot, but it didn't do anything to help my GPS lock.
Changing doesn't always helps. Conflippers is a great rom because its exclusive for alltel and is very easy to flash because everything works. With conflippers you need to install "htc gps tool". Then once you have it do the following: select "clear memory" ->open for 15 sec.->close->select "cold or warm start" ->open 10 sec.->check nav init.->check your satellites. If you got green then go to google maps or whatever program you are trying to use gps for.
If you would like to try a different rom then sometimes simply cycling the location setting from on to off then back on again or soft reset is in order. Keep your quick gps up to date.
There is not one fix for all gps problems for the t-Pro. You will find a routine that works and it will no longer be a problem. One thing that works 100 percent of the time is with the stock rom, paying for alltel nav will give you locks instantly in any program at anytime.
I'm using Nfsfan's CDMA Touch Pro Rom
I install the Alltel Carrier Cab and MMS cab in my faq
when I flash it to make it work 100% with Alltel.
(mms=Picture/vid messaging)
The link to my faq is in my signature.
Also, in post one of my signature there is a link to a post I've made
describing what's vga compatible and what's not
till I finish getting everything for my TouchPro Faq.

Thanks for the help, I am still lost tho. I tried to do what you said but when I clicked on "nav. init." it said "please open com port first.."
Could you please walk me thru a little further I'm kinda slow

Well, I've had my Alltel Touch Pro for about 6 hours now, so I'm hardly an expert (coming from my eternally flashed and reflashed PPC-6800) but, here's my experience with GPS:
Bought the Touch Pro from the Alltel corporate owned store. Walked outside to my car and got in. Went into the phone settings and turned Location On. Popped my Garmin Mobile XT (bought retail, not cracked) card out of my 6800 and into my Touch Pro. Let it install. Started up Garmin Mobile XT, got on the highway, and within a minute had a nice GPS lock.
Obviously, all on the stock Alltel ROM (no time to look into custom ROMs yet, I've only had it for a few hours!) So I can state that at least in my case the GPS worked fine out of the box without any sort of priming or tweaking. YMMV.
Yea, like I said mine works great everywhere I have been except for my hometown. I can even hook up to my bluetooth GPS receiver and it works great everywhere. Just can't seem to get a connection in (Sarasota, FL).
