VZW Leaked ROM

Hi all,
This was posted over at PPCGEEKS so I decided to bring it over here. This looks to be a leaked VZW ROM for the Vogue. Use at your own risk. If you have GPS running, and dont want to lose that functionality, do not let customizations to run.
ROM seems fast and stable. I am still working through all the pieces of it.

Doesn't look good at all. I advise not flashing to this ROM, it's not even complete!

I have had no issues with it. I did let customizations run the first time and that screwed my GPS use, but was able to recover from it. Now I am running it with my own nav software(iGo8), and all is seemingly well. I have even decompiled the ROM so I can add my own OEMs into the mix.
Steve
PS - big kudos to RSTOGUY for the decompiling tips!

What do you mean it isn't complete? Last time I checked the ROM has to be complete to be able to flash it. Mind explaining your comment?

great
I have been using OMJ for awhile and love it. Until i came across this. I have been using this rom since it came out and first it runs fast and is very stable. The battery life lets just say i have been running it for 45 hours so far and am at 30 percent. Don't know about you but i can go another day on this. I am a moderate usage kinda of person and also notice that in fringe areas it seems to not drain the battery as much because of the better reception. Also it is ok to let the customization to run but make sure to do the *228 dial option 1 reset and then option 2 reset. The best thing about it is i think most will agree is if customization runs don't worry even the most noob will not mess up there phone. So YIPPEEEE and you can do it.

It's like a car, as in it's "complete", so you can drive it, but it's missing the seats. Which is why I say that, so I suggest not flashing the official leaked ROM, but a modified version.

If you let customizations run then the GPS functionality is lost. It seems to be locked down, unless you have figured something else out?
Steve

Sorry for the delay
Yes there is a workaround with something called vahalla gps or something. Very easy to install turn location on then use google maps and bam bam thank you mam. Ok weird but hey it works and update for yall 50 hours into the rom and running at 40 percent battery . I love it like cheeseburger.

Yes I know Skywing and his fix for the Titan, which should work here, but I need COM port functionality and his fix does not address that. I am working with someone on PPCGEEKS to detail how to get the 1.37 PRI back on Vogue. Its a little bit different than Titan.
I am with you. The battery life seems to be amazingly better and the ROM seems to be operating a bit faster than the custom ROMs. Too early for me to put the check mark for it but so far so good.
Steve

I tryed it but couldn't get the GPS to work after letting customizations run. Even with the GPS Hack it wouldn't lock on with my Tom Tom 7. So I went back to my oiginal rom and now am back with OMJ's rom and happy to have my GPS back.

Great ROM
I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps and Live Search. Tested both on the road
yesterday and they both provide exact locations.
The rom is really stable & the data speed is a lot faster.
The radio is a great help with battery life & I get a better
signal in the fringe areas.
Love it , like having a new phone.

I’m happy for you guys who ever have good chance to run the Verizon ROM, but as you can see this is not from HTC site or even from Verizon (yet) its from Lab. Not mean that its fully function in some way if the GPS enabled right now that good, but I personal can’t believe Verizon will let it out for free because they have there own Navigation software. Anyway, I did run this ROM the first hour when it went out, and personal I did not like it! I had issue with freezing every time I boot my phone. And the GPS not even close to Bell Radio, with Bell I will be locked under 15 sic with at less 8 to 9 Satellites. Plus it’s not any faster than what ever out right now. Sorry to popup your bobble. But in the end its personal choice..

Sorry to hear that
I have had no problems with this rom whatsoever and i am still running this bad boy since i last replied. it has not died on me but now i see the red light of charge me please. But this is well over 70 hours now. Did you install the leak rom with the radio or with bell's radio. I guess some people will have problems and some won't Sad to say that is life and is expected . But like Steve i won't check mark it yet, but so far no freezes and basically everything is working the way it is suppose to. Maybe when they build a custom rom out of this which i believe they did over at ppcgeeks, then everything will work better for you as far as freezing.

I have had a simular experience - better reception , better battery life ,
and absolutely faster data , good GPS locks on the road with google
maps & Live Search - no freezes - excellent stable rom.

Ditto with me. All of the above. However, the link to the valhalla cab file no longer works. I wonder if skywing was forced to take it off or something. Luckily for me I got it before it disappeared...........

I figured that might happen so after I ran the cab I sent the file
to my storage card in case I needed it again.
Good to see you over here at xda Dr. Rodger !

I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps. So far everything else seems to be working well. With enough searching I was able to find the Vahalla GPS and download it so if you need it keep searching.

I verified this through an inside person at Verizon and they said that this is their file so it's just a matter of time before this comes out on probably the HTC site. I installed it on mine, I have no customized ROMS or anything else, just as-is XV6900 and it works just fine. I did not let the customizations run however.

Where can I find the Vahalla GPS .cab? And is it really necessary to get the GPS to work with this ROM?

As far as I can tell you need it because within this ROM gps is deactivated. Do a search over at ppcgeek.com and you should find it. Some reported that the link was taken down but as of last night I was able to search and find a cab for it. I am sure there is some other work around but I don't know it and this cab did the trick for me.

[Q] CM7 RC2 GPS and Gmail questions

Hello all, Im brand new to the forums and just recently was shown the wonders of rooting and messing with my phone by a coworker. I am amazed to see all the stuff this thing can do that Tmobile didnt bother doing for me! I recently went from CM6 to CM7 then upgraded to RC2 and somewhere in there I lost GPS all together and Gmail stopped sending my emails. No matter what I do GPS will not work. It shows that it is on everywhere I look for not in the status bar. I can find my location using wireless but its not nearly accurate enough for me. I read somewhere on the forums that uploading to the newest radio will help the GPS but the link it gave me showed it being posted in mid January and I figured there had to be something newer than that . I am also uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail to see if that solves my problems with it now and I will edit this if that changes. Ive read a few places where people were talking about getting an FM radio on the MT3G and most of the time it was said that it is not possible, it isnt right? Any info or advice you pros can give me will be greatly appreciated by this noob! Thanks guys!
EDIT: Looks like I should have taken my own advice and reloaded Gmail before asking about it, I can now send emails!

As for your GPS, once you get the newest radio flashed, go out door to a place with clear sky (as in no buildings hovering over your head). I thought my GPS didn't work either, then I stepped out and turned it on. Bam. Works perfectly fine.

download TuneIn from market

I got the radio downloaded and I finally have GPS!! I had read about downloading the newest radio before but the only one I saw was from January and I was hoping to find a newer one or a different fix. The only issue I have with the GPS now is the blue arrow that shows your position keeps going sideways :-/, another issue to research. As far as the FM radio goes, Ive see apps like that before but the reason I asked about an FM radio was to pick up the broadcasts from the TV's at the gym. Thanks for the post though.

Yea,my gps takes long to lock on outside,then when I'm driving or stopped at a red light it always reroutes,when I'm moving the arrow goes sideways and moves along so I can't really know where I'm going might a bug or sumthang.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Anybody figure out the problem with the navigation? I've got the same problem with the blue arrow being all funky. Makes google maps unusable.
Anybody else also know why this CM7 RC4 is killing my battery life?

I just updated my radio to the newest one and it's still got the same problem.

I did the radio too but Im still having problems. Im on nightly 36 now, but Ive tried 33 and RC1-4 without any luck. I heard someone say 32 works but ive also heard people say all of them works for them so im not sure.

my google maps gps is pointing to the wrong direction too. And get a long time to pinpoint my location.
cm7 and newest radio installed.

The guy who introduced me to all of this rooting stuff suggested I do a backup through titanium and then a full wipe before reinstalling CM7. I' not comfortable enough with all this yet to do it on my own so I have to wait until I work with him again. Mybe someone with more experience (or atleast confidence haha) would want to give this a shot and let us all know? I feel like it could work because there are so few of us having this problem and those that aren't have nothing different (in hardware or software) from the rest of us, so a wipe and reinstall could work...right??

Every time i have an issue with a ROM, i always full wipe and reflash and then restore my necessary apps through Titanium. It usually does the trick.

Full wipe involves data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache, all in cwm recovery menu correct? Is there anything else that needs to be wiped before flashing a new rom?

do i need to flash new radio???

hi just flashed rcmix hd, brill rom.
i think i might be having a couple of issues but not sure yet??
my wifi seems to be fine, not tried bluetooth yet.
but when i first started up after flashing i wasnt getting good reception and tried to get on browser but that just hanged.
my android market forced closed on me 3 times straight when i loaded it up.
and my data connection switched to g.
after a little while i got a notification stating that android market had finished partialy restoring my apps??
would this be the cause of data switching to g while trying to go on the browser???
also my battery life seemed poor but had just done the whole custom rom job and didnt really get a chance to charge after??
does this sound like i need to flash a new radio?? or shall i see how it goes for now??
any advice would be great
thanks

What you need to do is to stop spamming the forum mate..You've been warned!!

For all those with WiFi data issues with 2.3.3

I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!

Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.

i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?

Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live

Evo 4G GPS issue

So about 4-5 months ago, I became frustrated with the GPS woes on my otherwise perfectly operational Evo 4g and went ahead and bought a "refurbished" Epic 4g instead. I miss my Evo 4G like crazy and with work slow for the next couple weeks, I decided to revisit the issue to see if i can maybe fix the problem and re-activate my Evo 4G.
I am a relative n00b but know enough to have exhausted every possible solution I could find using the "search" function. GPS Status AGPS resets, ##GPSCLRX# fixes, as well as pretty much every single driver fix listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132412
thinking back to when the issue began, I think what I did was install a CM7 AOSP ROM over my then stock-rooted ROM, when the GPS didn't work, I kinda freaked out and nandroid flashed back to what i had before but the GPS issues persisted.
I thought about unrooting completely back to stock but if the GPS is the only thing not working, I'm wondering if that would even fix the problem.
It could be a kernel issue perhaps? I'd be more than happy to provide any info/screenshots/logs that might be helpful.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be very very much appreciated
*Edit : in the time since I made the post, I decided to follow this thread and install everything anew, ROM, kernel, GPS drivers/fix (AOSP all the way, CM7 + Savagezen + CM7 N39 Driver ). Still nothing with the GPS, the GPS Status app just will not lock on to a satellite.

there might not be a fix. i once did something similar of flashing a rom over another rom and my gps also stopped working so i got another evo

that would be very sad indeed. Did you try going back to stock completely (unrooted) to see if that would help? that's the one thing i've not tried and I guess i'm just wondering if anyone thought/knows whether that would make any difference in this case.
(in the meanwhile I flashed miui's ice cream rom on the evo 4g using it mostly as music/media device and it's so freaking gorgeous...looks like i'll have to go get an S3 after all)
