Yeah I don't know. I don't use MR1 so I can't test.

The original cab installs gpssrv.exe, stdgps.dll, and oemgpsOne.dll to \Program Files\GPSServer and gpsapi.dll to \Windows.

The first updated cab I made installs gpssrv.exe to \Program Files\GPSServer and stdgps.dll, oemgpsOne.dll, and gpsapi.dll to \Windows.

The latest test cab does the same as the first updated cab, just in a different way. It installs gpssrv.exe to \Program Files\GPSServer and stdgpsx.dll, oemgpsOnex.dll, and gpsapix.dll to \Windows (note the file names of the dlls). It then uses post file operation provisioning to rename stdgpsx.dll to stdgps.dll, oemgpsOnex.dll to oemgpsOne.dll, and gpsapix.dll to gpsapi.dll.

So in essence, both of the updated cabs do exactly what Skywing suggested by placing all 3 dll's into \Windows, and the latest even follows the same method of renaming as he instructed. I have no idea why they don't work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] normalguy:
Works as advertised...

After lurking here for months I finally decided to take the plunge after seeing Skywing's aGPS fix. So at 10 p.m. I sat down and did the flash (first for me) from stock to MR1. After getting a new A-key (tech reports that some need it some don't) I downloaded the aGPS fix and installed it. It worked as advertised in Google maps and I'm pretty darn happy because the Blue Tooth support seems a little better. It did disconnect on its own for no reason that I know this morning though.

Thanks for the work...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] eddiecanuck:
Also, I re-installed the updated .cab, and the file dates of the files in the \Windows folder are as follows:

gpsapix.dll 9/9/08

oemgpsOnex.dll 8/27/08

stdgpsx.dll 8/26/08

Does that mean the last 2 didn't get copied over correctly?

I also go the following message after installing the updated .cab:

The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.

Just more information in case it helps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] eddiecanuck:
Well after messing around looking at the .cabs and such. I just went into the \Windows folder (on the updated .cab install) and renamed the .dll files to remove the 'x' and soft boot. Live search is working again. Hope that helps anyone seeing the same issue I did.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
Well, here's the thing. oemgpsOne.dll and gpsapi.dll are replacing (well, not really replacing, but superseding) images that are baked into the ROM, whereas stdgps.dll is a completely new file on disk. I don't really see why this would not have worked for the second try assuming that the original cab copied gpsapi.dll straight to \Windows without monkeying around with renaming things. (You shouldn't need to do any special shenanigans with stdgps.dll as it should not already be present unless an old version of the program was installed.)

As for having to rename it, I think that this is a limitation that is built into fexplore.exe and not something that you would have to do in a cab installer. The fact that this seemed to work the first time around would tend to lend credence to that. I really don't see why it wouldn't work for the second cab you built if essentially the same thing (minus oemgpsOne.dll) worked originally, though.

I will see if I can dig up some more information on the topic later on, though.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fishboy:
sounds like the problem with the latest cab may be that the post operation that renames the files did not get executed or for some reason had a problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rt1231:
VZNAV

I installed the update and it worked great. Google maps locked within seconds, however I tried to use VZ nav and it gave me an error. I like the voice prompted navigations. I un-installed the cab and VZ Nav works. I would like to be able to use both, any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
Updated to MR1 Rom and installed the cab on page 6 thread 54.

Had to installed it twice before it worked. But it did work the second time. tested with Google and Live Search. Next test is with tomtom.

Great Job Skywing.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
If you would like to use VZ Navigator in addition to a third party GPS app, then you need to make sure that oemgpsOne.dll and stdgps.dll are also copied to \Windows, in addition to just gpsapi.dll. If you want to do this manually, then follow the same instruction as were given for gpsapi.dll on the first post, but for oemgpsOne.dll. You should be able to just do a straight copy of stdgps.dll.

External BT GPS Compatability

Apparently TT6 won't utilze a Windows Managed GPS. Since I prefer TT for long drives I'd like to be be able to fall back to my ext. BT GPS when I need to. It doesn't look like this app will cause a problem with that but I'm not the expert here. Any thoughts guys?

Oh yeah and like so many others have said...Thanks a bunch, this is great I. Figured you guys would come up with this, but I never expected you do it so quickly!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
If it opens a specific COM port, then I expect that it'll work fine coexisting with gpssrv and the modified gpsapi.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rt1231:
Wow, I am just a noob, is there a cab file for that set up?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dill611:
GC first thanks to all that you and Skywing and everyone else who make this stuff possible. If a custom cleaner ROM is made based off MR1 would this possibly give us best of factory with custom benefit. I have been reading on custom cooking but if this path is null void then I don't know if I'll try to figure it all out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
There is a cab that gc14 has made; I have updated the link on the front page. The cab installer will currently not work with VZ Navigator (although you can manually copy things around to get VZ Navigator working concurrently, if you so desire). Hopefully, this will be resolved after some looking around in the cab installer documentation.

As far as getting this working in a custom ROM, I would imagine that it is probably possible, but it will take some troubleshooting/debugging work to find out what all the various dependencies will be for the obfuscated GPS interface (evidently more than just gpsid_qct.dll). Right now, nobody has really tried very hard (aside from gc14 making a ROM with the Verizon gpsid_qct.dll), and so you would be doing some research on your own on that point.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Vancelot:
Thanks Skywing!

With the MR1 and your Adapter, I have the best and fastest gps lock on my vzw 6800 so far!

Google maps locks every time within 10 or so seconds.

Edit:

Now if I could just get acceptable bluetooth performance with my '08 Altima I would be happy.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ga_madman:
"VANCELOT"... I have the same setup as you do (vzw 6800) but have yet to get a lock with GOOGLE or LIVE Search. I did as "SKYWALKER" posted but can only get a GPS lock with GPSviewer... Can you kinda give me a walk through on what you did and the settings as they currently are in your phone? I am loosing my mind trying to get this to work!

Thanks...MADMAN
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I'm assuming you linked the cab that installs only gpsapi.dll to \Windows.

The second cab I made does exactly what it's supposed to, and does everything you instruct, so it baffles me why it doesn't work, yet copying the files by hand does. Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
That was the intention, yes, unless I grabbed the wrong one.

As for why it doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to take a look yet. I was up till 2am yesterday working on an unrelated project and have not had some time to devote to this yet.

Hi drewcam888,

From this site:

http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=titan/radios/

Which radio do you recommend using / which one are you using?

Thanks again,

James
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] junkmail_spamstuff:
Hi drewcam888,

Sorry bout that. I see from your signature you are using radio 3.42.40. Must be too early in the morning.

Ok, Here are the steps I am going to take.

(Unlock)

1.I will double click on Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and let the program run

(Radio)

2. I will then load the 3.42.40 radio by placing the TITAIMG.nbh in my RUU folder and then running ROMUpdateUtility.exe

(ROM)

3. I will then double click on dcd_titan_3.3.4.exe

(Carrier Cab)

4. I will place dcd Verizon Carrier 20081031.cab in my phones memory and then run it from there.

Are these steps correct?

Thank you again,

James
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
those should work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] junkmail_spamstuff:
Hi drewcam888,

So far so good. I am now at the point where I have unlocked the phone, loaded the radio, and loaded the rom. My Screen gives me the MSN 6.1 tap screen to start.

Should let the customization things run or hit rest before they run?

Thanks,

James
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
yes it is a custom rom. there is no bloatware.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] junkmail_spamstuff:
Hi drewcam888,

Ok I am up and running. Now should I load the verizon cab to the phone from: http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=titan/carriers/

dcd Verizon Carrier 20081031.cab

?

Thanks again,

James
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Ok you have got to be able to do some of this on your own. If you weren't comfortable flashing then you shouldn't have done it yet. You should be able to answer your own question if you read the dcd rom thread and unlocking tutorial.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] junkmail_spamstuff:
Hi drewcam888,

I apologize if i am asking too many questions. I sincerely appreciate all the help. I am going to load the verizon cab and go from there.

One final question (i hope) after the verizon cab is loaded, do i need to do anything in regards to locking / relocking the phone?

Thank you so much again,

James

(almost done)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Think about your question and these. You can again answer this yourself What does unlocking do? What would relocking do? There are reasons for relocking. You did it already. Why did you relock?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] junkmail_spamstuff:
Hi drewcam888,

I think you lost me. Unlocking the phone allowed me load the custom settings. Relocking would not allow further custom settings to be loaded?

Here is what I did:

1. Relocked the phone with Titan_ Relocker.exe

2. Loaded the stock Verizon Rom via ROMUpdateUtility.exe

3. Unlocked the phone with Hard-SPL-MFG.exe

4. Loaded the 3.42.40 radio again using ROMUpdateUtility.exe

5. Loaded dcd_titan_3.3.4.exe

6. Loaded dcd Verizon Carrier 20081031.cab

I think i am confused with the defination of relocking the phone. I had initially locked it to load the stock verizon rom. I then unlocked it to load the radio, rom, and carrier cab. So as of right now it is unlocked if i am understanding things correctly.

So in short, do i need to relock the phone before *228 option 1 to prevent things i do not want getting loaded to the phone.

Does relocking the phone lock it down to prevent things from being loaded or does is lock it in the sense that verizon locks down applications / functionality?

Again i am a total newbie and i sincerly appreciate all the help :)

James
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Just leave it unlocked. Nothing other than a prl and settings can be loaded with *228.

- Then I followed these instructions "Verizon MR1 GPS Instructions" from here Link

I can not get Google maps to work. So, I installed GPS Viewer to look at the NEMA data.

I get:

$GPGSV, 1,1,0

$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,

$GPRMS,,,V,,,,,,,

GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,

Hey Drew,

I uninstalled the old QuickGPS cab, did a soft reset. I reinstalled the one you recommended and then a soft reset. I then replaced the stock .exe with the patched one in the windows directory. I applied the registry edit and soft reset.

Unfortunately i still got the:

"the file QuickGPS" cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

I decided to try one i found called QuickGPS_Vga_by_Swtos.cab. Installed the cab and did a soft reset. This one started up but looked odd. See the QuickGPS by Swtos.jpg. There was no download button so i switched on auto download and it failed. See the fail .jpg. So i did the registry edit (see pic) and a soft rest and tried again. Still failed to download.

Any idea what i may be doing wrong or going on with either the stock/patched and the Swtos version?

I read somethnig about having to downgrade the radio to pre gps and then going back up...now do i have to use a custom rom or can i stick with the stocker or use a kitchen of my liking that is compatible (i want to choose what is going on my phone not someone else) no offense just picky like that. anyway...when i do the radio thing what is keeping it from getting locked out again.

Guess my question is

1. When I downgrade can I stay stock or use a kitchen (and which kitchen is good to be cooked with so i can get GPS)?

2. And can someone point me in a general direction of the settings that need to be done to make gps work again.
