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.
Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.
Sent from my HTC mytouch slide using XDA App
I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Thx donkey72!
like the thread title says i have this problem.. my google maps is always "searching for gps" in the Navigation function
few threads ago i was posted a problem with GPS STATUS or GPS TEST...
They were not finding any satellite...
later with the help of @superstick1 & @blbean i was fixed it... now these apk finds even 7 satellites!!!!(often LOL)
but Navigation continues without work.... some suggestion?
i was tested:
1-reinstall the apk. (not fixed my problem)
2-erase data caché OF THE APP only (not solved my problem)
3-fix gps sat. with gps status(not solved)but 5 satellites found...
4-use FASTERFIX.apk and then restart my machine (not solved)
EDIT: ufff! i´m desperate more tries:
5-flashed another recommened rom from coredroid thread: 12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 (orange uk)but its weird because i´m living in spain (orange es) (NOT SOLVED MY TROUBLE)
6-flashed another kernel: from leedroid 2.2.9 to my current BUZZ 1.3.8.3 1.2 GHZ MAX(NOT SOLVED)
I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP BOYS (OR GIRLS )
Have you tried using a different rom and/or kernel?

i tried that @lordvimes was recommended me, change the kernel but the problem persists now i have buzz kernel 1.3.8.3 version
Hi SERGI.3210
We meet again. Lol. I notice from my own experience that if we often reboot our phone, the GPS state will be restarted. And hence it will take some time for the GPS to work again.
For example, I have once flashed LeeDrOid' v2.2.2 in the past few months(first time), and I got a fix very quickly. It will be within 5-15 seconds? At most it will take is 30 seconds. However, after I reboot for whatever reason(I forgot, but I am not flashing anything else), and the GPS takes more time to get a fix again. The situation got worsen when I am in the car to get a fix. Took about 5-10 minutes??
But after some time, tolerating such slow fix(I know, its annoying) it suddenly get back to normal again. Which means I can get a fix very fast again.
Many has recommended the use of GPS Status app to clear A-GPS data and then download them back again. It works for them it seems, but in some to a large extent, it did not really work for me.
Maybe you can try Ulysee Gizmos app from the market? It has the capability to download A-GPS data as well. Recently I try using it and it seems to fix my problem once again. When was it? Last two days ago. Lol. Now it still work fine. Hopefully this continues.
I am still use GPS Status to get A-GPS data. Which means I am using both of them at the same time. Probably both apps does fires out some solutions? Haha. Me not sure but you can try.
Cheers mate. =)

hey buddy!! how are you?!
okay i´m going to test this:
-1-clear A-GPS data of the gps status.apk AGAIN....if not solves:
-2-download Ulyse gizmos.apk and try it...if not solves:
-3-I will go to area discovered to trying... if not solves... maybe i will go to reinstall the all the apk relationed with GPS..and if it not solves that
-4-I believe that I will think of burning my DHD.. lolololololol
thank´s for you usefuls posts man..
see you soon here
EDIT: i tried to install another GPS NAVIGATOR (sygic) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS... i´m really sure that the problem its that my device finds gps when he wants And if it is clouded less still
I am fine here thanks. Getting ready for work now.
In your case, the problem is nothing to do with the navigation software but your GPS cannot get a fix. It may due to hardware failure.
If the situation persist, probably you should consider sending your device to HTC for a check. But make sure you turn back your phone into normal state first. (i.e. unroot your phone)
i pretty much have the same problem ...
5+ mins to lock my position ..
RcMixHD 5.5 and a changed radio... i will just burn it..

edit:i´m going to try CM7.0.2 and test gps again but i´m Considering to take it to the technical service....
So you finally got a fix? Congrats!
Yea, try to send it to HTC for a check. By the way, again, remember to unroot your phone first before sending to them.

good night buddy!!!!
i have soo good noticesx100000000000
THAKE THIS:
gps status:found 8 or 9 sat.
fixed in 62 segs.
google maps:working perfectly!
finding gps at the moment
15 meters position error max. (better than my htc hero)
THE MEDICINE:
1--Though I feel sorry very much I had that flahs another CUSTOM ROM
2--Then I´VE flashed the recommended radio and was foun 3 or 4 sat...
3--and the most important: flash the RIL for this radio in this moment i was found 8 or 9 sat.!!!
the only one thing that i don´t like (nothing nothing) is the custom rom:
RCmix 6.1.0.1 (ported from desire s)
i´m COREDROID LOVER and RCMIX seems too simple but i preffer the good performance before beauty things...
Nevertheless when it does a few kilometres and tested well the GPS I will try with Leedroid (froyo) to see if I obtain the same results
Good for you buddy!
Usually if you got a fix pretty quick, it will have errors ranging to 30-50 meters(that is from what I obverse based on my device that locks within 5-15, max 30 seconds). Then it will adjust overtime. Well, still better than doesn't get a fix at all.
Hmm.. RCMis HD6.1.0.1? The Evolutionary Sense ROM? I have not try that yet.. plan to try after my exam. Currently concentrating on my exam for this month. Also quite satisfied with my current flashed LeeDrOid v2.2.3 ROM now. Lol.
Probably will be trying Miui too. I would prefer staying with Sense ROM as there is unlikely to have Premium Navigation in Non-sense ROM. If I would to try other GPS apps, I will have to pay for it. Premium Navigation is free for life for me in Malaysia + Singapore. Also finding addresses with it is easier, unlike other GPS app.(i.e. cannot search address). Probably due to the names of addresses here. Here uses Malay names and not English.

thake this gift for your help! (pressed your thanks button) you winned it
I've been testing GB ROMs for a while now and ran into the same problem/phenomenon on each of them: my clock loses ~70s/day. The stock Froyo Sense ROM has ~3s/day. Although Clocksync takes care of that either way, the question is still the same: why the hell would my phone do that on Gingerbread? It's obviously not a hardware problem, and it's irritating (at least for me - yes, i'm irritated by such things ). I already tried playing around with different CPU governors, but that didn't help either and just used more battery.
Soo... am i alone with this or has anyone else seen the same behaviour? Or even better, can anyone tell me what causes ist?
never noticed it myself - I have mine set on automatic time with network so I guess that may take care of it too?
Nope, tried that one, too. It doesn't seem to have any discernible effect, but i had to disable "time from network" on my G1 because the time the network sent was off about 5 minutes. Apparently my phones don't want me to have the correct time.
heh
I had a problem once where my phone thought I was in Boston, US, which made my alarm go off at about 11am (scheduled for 6am)
My Desire HD is on Gingerbread and it gets late by about 90 seconds a day. Haven't found a solution but to use ClockSync to sync every 12 hours
if you are connected to a 3G connection all the time this didn`t happen, but if dont you will have this problem (i notice it because a friend havent got internet plan and have this problem and i dont have this problem (whit the same ginger ROM)
I disabled network time sync because the network time is off by about 3 minutes.
it is a common problem on gingerbread, dont remember if only with Sense.
however no fix was done, mainly cause only few experience it.
workaroud : toggle network syncing every once in a while ;P

Not if the network time is off by a couple of minutes like it has been mentioned is the case at some places.
And this really shouldn't be a problem, and i've not experiences it(or at least i haven't noticed) on my AOSP rom.
maybe they aren't fully compatiblie with GinderBread or you dont have a bit ram?
I posted this in NilsP's Business GingerSense thread, but don't think it's a ROM issue, more of a Google Talk issue. Running the 2.0 version of that ROM.
The issue is where Google Talk shows all your contacts as Offline after a period of say five to ten minutes, maybe shorter than that. I'll be messaging someone, and after a few minutes when they haven't responded, I'll wake my phone and open GT. All the contacts are Offline. A simple sign out/sign in fixes that, and the usual contacts show Online or Away.I've noticed this all week, so I'm thinking it's a GT issue, but I've never had it happen before.
Don't want to have to sign out/in every time I want to use it. Cleared GT cache, fix permissions, multiple wipes of data/system/cache/boot/dalvik/user data before each ROM install, and haven't had this before now.
Thoughts?
EDIT: After playing, it happens when switching from 3G to WiFi and vice versa, so maybe it is a ROM thing...?
i'm having the same issue. noticed after my gingerbread OTA update from verizon.
Droid 2.
It seems to happen a few minutes after logging on.
I also have that issue with Gtalk. After some time all contacts appear to be offline, but only when I'm on data connection and not on wifi.
There is still no solution for this?
Cheers!

Me too. Anyone was able to do something?
Well I've since moved on, and haven't noticed it on other ROMs. Right now I just tested toggling Wifi on and off, and the contacts would appear offline, then come online once 3g or wifi connected.
I'm thinking in my case, it was that version of the ROM I was running at the time.

Just a thought, check any task killers / managers and make sure talk is unchecked. I had the same problem a long time ago and ATK was the culprit. Haven't had the issue since and I have used almost every Rom possible at one point or another

True. Right after I rooted over a year ago, I had an issue with the alarm clock not going off intermittantly, and coincidentally I was using ATK at the time. After reading that ATK could be the issue, uninstalling it fixed the issue. Since then, I don't actively kill tasks, but I do have System Panel installed just in case.
I'm running Stock+ v2.6, and since moving on from v2.0 of NilsP's ROM where I had the initial issue, I haven't noticed/had the problem.

Hi,
Me and the other user are I9000 users. No task killers. We're trying to figure out if its a stock / custom ROM issue (since we're both using the same ROM), or some app forcing GTalk to sign out, or even a network problem (we both use the same mobile operator).
Thank you both for your input.
If you're on a stock ROM (you're both rooted right?), back up your ROM and flash another just to see if it happens in something different.

Yes, we are.
The thing is that it seems to me that it happened only after XXVJR (meaning it happened to me in XXJVS and XXJVT, and now we're already at XWJVU, all these being Samsungs "leaks"), and I have a friend with XXJVS that works just fine.
I even tried flashing a stock ROM, to see if it happens again. Testing that one now.
Thanks for your advice.
Same problem here.
Although I have not tried it with stock non rooted phone...
I'm having the same problem on a stock rooted Motorola Photon. Very annoying to have to sign out and back in to see who's online. Hopefully someone comes to the rescue with a solution.
Hi,
The only thing I could find is that the problem is, indeed, NOT in the custom ROM's. It's google's problem.
The only way I could get by was with an alternative IM. And, for me, the better is Trillian (taking battery, performance, etc. in consideration.)
I updated my software which included an updated gtalk with video..so far so good.

Mine got better with one of those. But it ended up all the same.

I am having this issue too. I have had it since the beginning, when I had the preinstalled stock rom, I had it with all the other stock roms I flashed, I had it with all the versions of Talk I tried (those which supported video calls), I had it with all the other customs roms I tried (Simplicity, CyanogenMod, MIUI). I never used any task killer. For these reasons I am strongly convinced this is a Google Talk related bug.
Some more details about the problem:
after a few minutes after having logged in, contacts are shown offline on Android while they appear online on the desktop client;
despite their offline status I still receive messages from them and as soon as I answer only that contact appears online while the others keep being shown offline;
signing out and back in fixes the problem temporarily, but it happens again after a few minutes.
What surprises me is how come very few people seem noticing it or being annoyed by it? How come a huge bug like this has been out for so long and Google hasn't fixed it yet? All the posts I have seen reporting this problem on Google Talk Help Forum have been ignored.
Exact same problem with my I9100, Gtalk with video. Very annoying.
I have the SGS i777 (Samsung Galaxy S2 on AT&T), and just recently (since late February) started experiencing the same issue. When on WiFi, it doesn't appear to be an issue, only when not on WiFi, particularly if I have just recently turned off WiFi.
Other "friends" show me as "Away", so I am connected.
This is bone stock 2.3.6 Samsung official ROM (never rooted UCKK6).
I tried crawling a bit through the logs (aLogCat output), filtering for "[Tt]alk", but I can't make enough heads or tails about where the failure might be (not being an actual developer), other than lots of messages get created. I'll see if I can't figure something more useful out about it.
A hard reset with no apps installed has the same problem. Though I've noticed that the problem appears to get "worse" as the phone "ages" - namely, hard reset fixes the problem, but it slowly (over days) gets worse and worse.
Update: I have not noticed this issue at all since getting the official Samsung/AT&T ICS build (IML74K.CLE5).
Google Talk failing for toooo loooong
Hi there,
I'm a cyanogen 7.1 (stable) android user, and I just want to join myself to every other person who's affected by this issue.
I'll leave here some links to other places discussion exactly the same issue:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=gtalk%20offline&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24242
You may check this thread: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/chat/6m0YqHoiIDg
Until now, I wasn't also able to find any clue to what the cause may be.
Starting to suspect that's something on Google's side, not android/rom itself.
Maybe something to do with our google accounts' settings?
Are there any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem.
