[Moto Maxx Original Android Development] jdl512:
Not sure where the negativity is coming from, but I appreciate the detailed response. I didn't intend to be negative, but I see now I should've provided more details. I have installed and reinstalled TopNTP several times since installing this ROM soon after it became available. I meant to say I can't find instructions for post install that detail any adjustments that might have improved my gps. There really aren't any instructions, just details. Instructions don't appear to be needed since it's simple to use the app. I checked it's page in the play store and I'm familiar with big buttons that say things like 'install'. My experience has been that success/confirmation messages display after many activities, especially installs. I've ensured they existed on the screens and pages I've designed and maintained over the years. So, when I see no post-install success message, have installed more than once, and see no improvement in my gps, I conclude that it didn't work for me. As a user of this rom from very early on, a participant in this thread, and someone who has donated to the developer for making the rom possible, I didn't think much of providing quick feedback to say topNTP didn't help me. Yesterday I fixed the gps issue by restoring my stock backup, starting the navigation successfully, and returning to my latest nightly backup. I remembered I had read that suggestion months ago here. I am now on July 27 and still working great.

As for my phone contacts, I am set in the contacts app to show all. I am using the contacts app that came with the rom. Root explorer shows a contacts folder that the contacts app does not see. the contact files are in sdcard>com.vcast.mediamanger>contacts. The issue started after installing this threads rom. Not a huge deal as I do have many of the same backed up to Google, of course. It would however, be nice to see them all. I brought it up a couple times in this thread without response, so thanks again for replying. They all displayed when I temporarily returned to my stock backup. I wonder if it's linked to my issue that prevents me from signing into Verizon cloud on this rom. It signed in automatically when I returned to stock. With this rom, the cloud app informs that I should go to a computer and reset my password, which does not work....and the password is not expired or locked. If I could get into the v cloud app, I expect I could restore those backed up contacts from there.

I've also noted the verizon voicemail app is not available in the play store with this rom, so I do without it. Having this rom is much more important to me, though I do miss some voicemails. I appreciate any input on those items and hope your week improves Chazzmatt. It's almost Friday.

Works for me with a flash drive on July 27 nightly. Worked with previous nightlies for me also. sometimes I have to disco and reconnect, but it works great for moving music and pictures around. Sometimes I have to reset the setting to show internal media after 'copy to'. You should see a notification after connecting and can open it to view files on the flash drive.

I bought an otg cable that supposedly allows power to pass through to my hard drive, but it doesn't work. the light on the harddrive will flash a few times, but that's all.

Verizon turbo.
