[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] aross6:
aGPS Tutorial

---------------------------

After installing NFSFAN's Alltel Beta 1.01 on my Vogue, one of the first things I wanted to do was to get aGPS back working again. I used Shadow-Tech's guide to install aGPS on my stock Vogue rom, but when I attempted to follow the steps again using NFSFAN's Rom, I ran into some roadblocks (i.e. - ##3424, ##3424# would not put my phone into diagnostic mode and I could not find dmrouter.exe in the \Windows\ folder). I turned to my age old friend, Google, and came across a guide for the Telus. Between that guide and some quick thinking I was able to get around these impasses with ease. So, I'm noting my experience here so that anyone who wants to get aGPS working when using NFSFAN's Rom won't have to spaz out like I did.

Note that I am not taking credit for any of this. Props should be given to:

Shadow-Tech (and gc14) with the guide on PPCGeeks.com

TobeyChris with his guide on PPCGeeks.com

and of course NFSFAN for building some a Kick-A Custom Rom

Here we go...

--OVERVIEW--

We will:

Install a PC software package called QPST that allows us to edit a portion of our phone that contains gpsOne settings.

Install WModem Drivers on the PC.

Install the CDMA1X USB Modem drivers on the PC to allow it to detect our phone running in diagnostic mode.

Put the phone in diagnostic mode, connect it to the computer, run QPST on PC, edit the gpsOne settings on the phone.

Soft reset, install the Carrier-specific Cab on the phone to adjust the Registry settings, Soft reset, and test it out.
