YEah, its not the ROM or my CAB. Its got to be an Authentication issue like you noted earlier. Location is turned on because you couldnt have got that far if it wasnt.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bkurek:
The location setting is turned on yes. However at this time I have no way of knowing if it works as I can't get any GPS function to actually do anything truly GPS related. One of the functions of this phone is to use the data connection to "help" the GPS. The data connection and the "helping" is wokring fine but actual GPS is still yet to work. I am wiping the phone completely with a clean kitchen build then flashing back over with yours probably as it seems at least you and one other person have GPS working for you. I am determined. Id like to spend much more time on this tonight but the lady is calling so this will have to get tabeled until tomorrow. I'll start first thing in the morning. Thanks for the help.

By the way the VZ App Store finally came up. It took at least 20 times of just trying to launch it before it finished downloading all of its parts. major pain in the ass.

Assuming that is fine what I've got left to fix is Nav, Visual Voicemail and Button.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
Well, I'm fully back up with everything reinstalled.

I wouldn't really say that I notice any difference in speed on this ROM. Nothing that's completely obvious, at least.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bkurek:
NAV included?
[Touch Pro CDMA] banzaiwolfe:
I don't know if it would be the same string, but I had to hex edit two strings on eRice's ROM to change the pagepool for my Sprint TP.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
What is the free memory after booting up with this Rom??

Storage/Program??
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
Ok, a few problems.

MS Voice Command isn't here. How do I get that on the phone?

I get an error when I go to the settings tab and choose Button. It says something about not being able to find the wscan file. Does that happen to anyone else. Any ideas?

It's not muting the call when flipping the phone down on it's face. It that supposed to happen or does flipping down just mute the ringer, which is working.

I haven't tried VZNav. I'm not going to pay for the app, so didn't bother. I did get it to the point where it told me I had to call VZ to subscribe on the stock rom. I think it was fully installed at that point.

In addition, I really don't see much, if any of a speed improvement, but it's nice to have the stock rom with some possible improvements.

I'm also using the Telus radio right now. Not sure if whether it's better or not yet.
[Touch Pro CDMA] AFAngryWarrior:
Scott, gotta say I like the ROM. I've got more free Memory off the hard boot, it flies through the menus and I have more storage memory as well. Good Work! Looking forward to your next release, until then this is whats on my Touch Pro. VZNavigator works without a hitch, except the usual Touch Pro problem where you have to close and open it the first time to get it to update, but thats not your ROM that NAV.. The only thing that didn't work was Voicecommand, but thats an easy fix, just had to reinstall MS Voicecommand.

Edit : For those who didn't have Voice Command I ripped it off the old ROM, I tried to attach it as a .cab file didn't work, tried it as a .zip file didn't work so if you need it PM me and I'll email it to you after work.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dimitri407:
Does anyone have the proper cab for MS Voicecommand?
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
AFAngryWarrior, thanks for the email. I got it working.
[Touch Pro CDMA] straylight:
Scrosler THanks for making this, I have been eagerly awaiting the first of many Roms for the VZ version for this phone.

Im looking to speed up things like the launching of programs, does your ROM include that? or just free up memory and speed up Touchflo? Ive found it unnacceptable that tasks like flipping orientation, launching OPERA (20 seconds? really?) and even initiating a text message take so long. does you ROM improve on these things? Regardless thanks for the release, I'm sure ill try it anyways.

As a Most-time-lurker I'm always impressed by the XDA community and the tinkering they inspire.

Wireless sync is free & syncs with outlook. It's VERY solid. (you should have an unlimited data plan).

It used to be pre-installed but now you have to look for it. If you do a lot of appts like me & have a small company (like me) it's very effective.

Me Too!

These are the EXACT same problems I have with my phone! I LOVE Opera, but it does seem to take forever. I am not sure if you have heard about or got GScroll on your phone, but I have mine setup to double tap the home key (dont actually press it, just double tap) and it brings up my messenger now matter how deep in menus or settings I am. And it allows you to scroll REALLY easily! The best part is it is only 4.99. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

Thanks again guys for all your information and hard work! :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] deviantirish:
What about the tethering feature? Does it require you to go through VZaccess or does it bypass it for free tethering?

We pay Premium for the phone and the data plan. I dont really want to have to pay the extra $15 a month to tether plus the extra $10 a month for VZnav.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
You can up it somewhere and I will grab it and post to my site.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
1. Oooops. No voice command. We will get that fixed.

2. Didint even know there was such a function. I see it now. Easy fix.

3. Does the stock ROM do that? I had no clue. Cool if it does. I will flash back to stock to verify.

4. It sucks but its all we have right.

5. Amazing! Your the only person that has tried this nad doesnt see the obviuous differnce. Here is a great test for you to realize the enhancements....

Flash to stock ROM and open file explorer then navigate to the windows folder. Tell me how long that takes.

Now flash my ROM and do the same. Tell me how long it takes. I will do the same and post results. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Another great speed test, Reboot the phone while TF3D is loaded on both ROM's. Tell me what one boots faster. You will see differnece if you know what to expect. Open Start Menu -> Settings then click onthe System tab. Tell me the differnce there.

These are just a few of the places you shoudl be seeing a differnce.

There are drastic improvements to the speed of the file system on this ROM over the stock ROM.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Try it and let us know. That "techincally" is a federal crime. Its called signal theft. I cannot help you with that.

BUT if I were to help you I would say the following:

An easy way to test it... Connect to the internet when sharing is on. If you get a screen asking you to enter a VZW user ID and password it doesnt work.

If you get a screen that allows you to surf with no VZW interaction then it works.

I dont know because I pay for the service so i cant test it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] willmatic08:
sharing is a go
[Touch Pro CDMA] deviantirish:
Ill will try it when i get my phone flashed let you know.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
I think it does much boot faster, yes, I did notice that.

I spent like 3 hours re-installing and re-configuring everything last night. I don't plan on flashing back to stock or to any new rom anytime soon, especially just to test the speed.

As far as #2, can you tell me what the fix is? Can I apply it to my already flashed ROM so that I don't have to reflash?

I suppose that SPB backup would work if I reflashed your ROM. I think it didn't do all the registry settings from the backup of the stock device because it thought I was on a different device (since the rom revision was different maybe). It said something about the device had change and offered me only a device update restore or something like that.

I'm new to SPB backup. Maybe if I backed up, flashed your updated, but slightly revised rom and restored, it would restore everything.

Either, I don't think I'm going to try it though, so let me know how to fix #2 and I'm happy. I already installed voice command and everything else is working fine.

I don't think it did #3. I probably was confused between that and the mute ringer feature. How could it mute the call if you put it on a table? It wouldn't really know the difference between that and holding the phone in that way (like lying down in bed) and you'd get muted when you didn't want to.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
AS far as SPB Back up I think you need to try and do a full restore like its from the same device. The SYS files are different though so I cant really predict the outcome.

Glad you got VC going I will post a cab for it.

#3 needs to be worked on. I am at work but I shoudl be able to cab it up. I will be honest with you. Dont hold your breath. I hate making promises like this because I get one so many tangents when I start building I never get the original project done ;c(

Someone will fix this oversight or I will. Open to all suggestions on this. Just havent had the time to compare the two SYS folders from eRice to the Ripped ROM. ITs in there. Just need to find it. Only the VZW device has this feature so thats why its not in his kitchen.

I hope that explains it for everyone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Well then forget about that federal crime crap. I am calling VZW and saving $15.00 a month! hahahaha

Thanks for the feedback Will!
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
#3 isn't that big a deal. There's somewhere else in the interface to set my button, but it'd just be nice not to have an error popping up there, so let me know if it's possible to fix without a re-flash.

As far as speed, I saw your post on ppcgeeks highlighting some areas where it'll be a lot faster and yes, now that you've noted specifics, I can say it is a lot faster in those areas, except for TF3D where I don't feel much of an increase.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Cool Cool!

Dont be offended if I dont respond in both posts to you ;c) Im going to catch hell trying to keep up with two threads.

Originally I was flamed out of PPC Geeks so I moved back here to XDA where the people always seem more friendly and receptive. My thread was "unflamed" at PPC Geeks and a few users asked me to post it there so I did. I wouldnt normally keep two threads.....

All new relases will be on XDA exclusively.
[Touch Pro CDMA] deviantirish:
Thanks Will. Thats Some great news to hear.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Kitchen Files up!

UPDATES POST: News updates, bugs / fixes, etc.....

Bugs so far:

No Voice Command (Its is in the kitchen)

No "My Button Feature"

Both were unintentionally left out. Thats not a bug but if you are expecting them then it is a bug. Sorry. There is a cab for VC and I will post it as soon as I can. Will grab the OEM files out of leaked ROM for the my BUtton Feature. Will try to it. Another user has the VC files.

Confirmed Working by multiple users:

VZ Navigator

VZ Appstore

**Here is where you will see gains with this ROM over stock...

1. Navigating through menu's, especially the settings menu.

2. Smoothness of TF3D (debateable depending on the tabs.) First time will be slow for EVERY device if you leave ALL the tabs enabled. Each tab is a like a sep app that has to load when you select it. After the tabs are loaded you will see even more gains over the stock ROM.

3. File explorer. Go to the Windows folder. No further explanation needed there, trust me. The stock file explorer took nearly 15 seconds to load Windows. This does it almost instantly.

Kitchen Files released!

This is for the eRICE KITCHEN. This is not my own Kitchen but an add on of VZW files to the eRice kitchen.

Ok, just so we can say we (VZW Users) can have our own kitchen I am uploading the OEM folder for VZW. Its easy integration into the eRice kitchen.

Its the OEM pack that I used to create this ROM. Its what I stripped out of the VZW leaked ROM. I added just a couple OEMs that are not in the cooked ROM. I dont have the original OEM's broken out! IF anyone wants to break it down further like eRice did let me know and I will host it on my site.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITCHEN SET UP:

Instructions:

Download and extract (to desktop) eRice 1.03.07 kitchen from here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42796

Delete the entire OEM folder from inside the kitchen!

Download and extract the VZW OEM folder from www.scottcrosler.com and place it in the eRice kitchen. I made one Minor change to the pure VZW OEM folder that I ripped from the leaked ROM. I dropped the phonecanvas XML provisioning file into OEM apps. i think it supposed to be in SYS but I dont know.... It works fine the way it is. If you dont knwo what the file is just let it be.

Startr RaphealKitchen.CMD and follow instructions.

I will try to support the kitchen as much as possible. Please do not bother eRice with this hybrid kitchen as I am sure he will not support my hybrid "creation"

One last thing: Voice Command is in the kitchen but not the ROM!

Thank eRice for this kitchen.

Thank the original poster of this thread for the leaked ROM I worked with:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Not sure who posted it.

Thank me for putting it together only!

I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES. I do however take credit for amking it VZW style. I didint create the files or the kitchen. I did however put them together for a VZW kitchen!

VZNavigator with Custom ROM

Of course no one would want to do anything in any way illegal, but I am curious about GPS with VZNavigator on the custom ROM. Would it be theoretically possible to use VZNav on this ROM without subscribing to the seperate VZW service, or are we still waiting for a solution that allows use of the GPS without an additional monthly fee to Verizon. I'm personally using TomTom with external GPS, but it would be nice to not have to carry an extra device around.

Thanks for all of your hard work on the ROM, Scott. I'm looking forward to seeing continued cool improvements with the work that you and others are doing!
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
I just downloaded everything. I spliced in parts of teh officila kitchen (more programs I wanted)

This should be good. I'll let you know if voice dialing works.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mmcgough:
I just installed the ROM and it works great!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
No, you have to pay for VZ Nav. It checks against the server to see if you have an account.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Great, you are the first! Let us know how it goes for you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
Just flashed with updated ROM I built. I kept the interface, while adding programs. (and voice dial). Installation is much slower (post flash), but that's to be expected with more programs, despite the lack of interface programs. (I like the VZN interface, and I hate running programs eating cycles, RAM and battery).

Let me know if you want the ROM i built, it's 140MB or so, I can upload it to the place of your choice.

Voice dialing works too.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
I was thinking about posting user ROM's, tools, images, etc on my site.

If enouhg people are interested then I will do this. Your ROM could be the fisrt in the user area.

Anyone have any thoughts on this besides me?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
It should I just forgot to cook it into the original ROM. I simply dont use it and forgot others do. My bad!
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
Right, I expected voice dialing to work based on how you forgot it do it, but I figured it would be relivant to people's interests
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
No doubt! Thanks man!
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
Also had to remove resco exlporer, it sucks and isn't free

EDIT: It sucks refers to the lack of free-ness
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Yeah, I threw in a few OEM's I use like Resco Explore and iContact. Any one using the kitchen is certainly free to deselct it in the kitchen. I didint cook it in the ROM though. Kept it as stock as possible.

BTW: I love resco explorer. But yes, you need a key to use it if you cook it in the kitchen. I have a key ;c)
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Overall the process was pretty smooth? No problems with the instuctions I posted?
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
Well, I'm not going to ask for your key, as I'm not stealing from Resco
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
Took some finessing, as my workstation here is a pain, but your instructions are good
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Oh yes, I know. I was just explaining that I have a key and love the app.

Great, thanks for being "that guy" who confirmed my work!

I appreciate you posting your findings for all users!
[Touch Pro CDMA] ean611:
WHat's cool is that this method will work on future kitchen releases, specifically on all future eRice releases.

updates from me

gave vzw a call last night to talk about my vz nav not working. he said they had shut me off. he said the reason wasn't clear to him although i am guessing that an automated service turned it off after i attempted to "nav authorize" my device at least 20 times in the last few days while playing with rom's. he turned it back on and i am fine. so +1 to confirm nav works.

to be clear..... yes, you need to subscribe to vz nav in order to use it. no, you will probably not see a way around it available to the general public or discussed in most public forums. you could however use google maps/nav. they're working on offering nav for free. you can see it in action on a t-mobile g1. it's pretty cool with the integrated streetview.

i asked the guy about visual voicemail for this phone. he said it's almost ready. go ahead and flip a coin for the validity of that statement....

i have now taken the time to actually work with this build. meaning i configured it for three different imap accounts, did a synch to outlook, etc etc. so far it's been extremely stable. much more than the stock. no lock ups of any kind yet.

in email i have noticed that sometimes while in the actual inbox, not the tf3d preview of the inbox, clicking on a message abruptly dumps you out to tf3d. like the act of clicking on the message crashed the messaging service. it's a very fast crash without notifications and clicking back on the inbox gets you back in without any other side effects. this has happened many times now. there is no rhyme or reason to it at this point. feels very, very random.

htc has released an official patch. in case anyone didn't notice. i have not applied it.

it's found here...

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=0&dl_id=447

and described as "Hot fix to enhance WAP security for HTC Touch Pro"
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
I was going to say that dump back to TF3D happens on stock ROM. Its not a crash like it appears. I think we are just hitting the HOME button on the phone. But for me its EXTREMLEY rare. It happened to me twice in two weeks on Stock ROM. Havent really messed with it other on my ROM other than to take out tabs that I dont use (Read: Internet, Contacts, Location, Weather). You take those tabs out and your stuff is even FASTER!

Thanks again for confirming VZ Nav works. You had me scred ****less lastnight! Iw as like WTF? How could it not work for him. I new it had to be something with your account after you removed the bad download.

Thanks again!

vznav question

With all the talk about VZ Nav, does anyone know if other gps programs can work if you subscribe to VZ Nav and run it in the background? I would like to be able to get google maps satellite view working and am willing to subscribe to VZ Nav if that would allow google to run. Thanks for any input on this.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Ha, good question!

What will happen ios this: The app you use, like Google Maps, will lock on right away but the poistion will be hundred and hundred of miles off. Thats because the data is encrypted from the GPS. Other GPS apps, except VZ Nav, will either choke on the data or set your location way off.

Try it, it tells me I am off the west coast of Africa and I live In North Dakota!

Kitchen Tip

Kitchen Tip:

If you cook in iContact Burt addition I modded the OEM (via RGU) to change the appropriate registry value for Manila to map the iContact app to the left soft key on the Home Tab. Hence you can disable the Contacts tab and still jump right to your contacts from the Home Tab.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bkurek:
You also have to understand the differences in how Verizon actually does "GPS". In most cases their "GPS" is a CDMA triangulation. It also uses the data connection to help with the triangulation and in simple terms makes a lot of guesses. Usually surprisingly good guesses.

True GPS is done with a GPS radio and with GPS satellites.

I am still uncertain if the Verizon version has the GPS radio or not. If someone could confirm I could at least start to think about looking in to this more. If it has a radio for certain sooner or later someone will find a way to use it correctly. After all these are not Verizon GPS satellites. They are technically government satelites that are no longer all that encrypted. They've still left a good handful of them encrypted and they are not accessible with comemrical products. The reason for this is that they simply don't want you to be all that accurate. Using all of them could give you accuracy within an inch and for "saefty" reaons they don't want you to be able to do that.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bkurek:
Thanks. This is going in now. I suppose as we haven't seen one yet there is no Verizon CDMA radio image yet?

[Touch Pro CDMA] mongoose0318:
Thanks for the replies on the GPS. I understand that the agps is done through triangulation, and the satellite based gps is through the satellites. What I was thinking of was more of a wrapper or some application that could take the VZW gps coordinates and forward them to other programs. It might have to exploit a hook into the vz nav program to "steal" the data rather than just open up the gps flow as it is encrypted as you mentioned. Does anyone know if the final gps coordinates received by vz nav are encrypted or is that a hardware encryption of the gps signal that vz nav decrypts? If the final data received by vz nav is not encrypted this could be more of a possibility. I have seen skywing talk about the security flaws in vz nav and this could be related....
