Basically im looking to replace the rom on the stock fascinate right now with a wifi only rom with a radio that also pretty much uses wifi only, i dont want to just turn it on and not activate i want to use this as a full mp3 player with wifi only no bars across the top for cell service nothing like that.....Is their a way that someone has some info on how to compile this and or a preexisting rom with these capabilities. I for one like my device alot but its time to upgrade and i would like to continue to use it as a mp player. much appreciated
djp952 is working on one; modding his version of the stock rom to wifi only. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278838&page=76

Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice
No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.
You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

That guide should help you out. I have some more info here that you may find useful as well.

Hope this helps!
Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..
will any rom do QNC and GPS ? i have read that its a broken DLL and others that 6.1+ will and wont support QNC or Q2C
i having a hard time finding any info relating on the roms out there/here.
i want/need a rom that will do GPS(no data or thru QNC) and QNC (real QNC not DUN or "free" and alot of minutes with bone slow net). keep the wifi and bluetooth available.
not needed but would be nice if windows was well trimmed and speedy (unless WinMo is less of a hog than normal) and replaced with like opera mini and a lite player that doesnt get chatty with the mothership. maybe a mini game emulator for fun like MESS (but good) but that maybe hard to find
i will be doing per minute on page plus and REAL data is not in the budget and i expect to use xv6800 on IM and email mostly maybe find a weather and such not exactly heavy data use. being a former crapfone customer anything will be a improvement.
thanks a heap in advance .. if anyone can confirm it working on a release ROM or suggest a ROM that might meet what i need GPS, QNC, wifi
Moved as not ROM Development.
aye but directly related to rom devolpment and its effects on phone features
But your question is not related to discussion on a specific rom. And I haven't heard of anyone using a mogul for qnc. All new rom are gps capable with a radio of 3.xxx
the 6.0 winMo works for QNC but no GPS. 6.1+ may have a problem with the QNC.
since the main reason to flash cooked ROMs is to unlock features or make REPAIRS or improvements . the main question is do any of these ROMS 6.1+ address the fixes that i want, namely GPS and QNC along with other percs like trimmed and speeded up OS.
i suspect since there was greater problem with QNC on 6.1 that it was broken by vzw to force us to pay an aditional 30$ ++ for high speed, i know right vzw wouldnt disable features to make people pay a extra monthly fee... thats why i asked in the ROM section as i wanted to know if that was addressed
as for not knowing anyone using the titan mogol 6800 for QNC lmao. if it wasnt for QNC i doubt people would buy such old phone .. a ENV or touch pro can be had for about the same $
and if i was asking about a specific ROM i would place it in the thread related to that ROM.
I haven't seen discussion on qnc. Just unlock your phone try a rom like dcd 3.3.4. If it doesn't work with qnc then go back to you present rom.
i recently read through practically ever HD2 android thread i could find on this site and after a bit of researching installing trial and error i managed to install a working android build on my phone (only functions not working as far as ive seen is wifi tethering)... After i realized it was working i called t mobile and had them switch me to an android plan however i cannot get data service anywhere when i do an H comes up and still cannot connect to facebook apps and things that require internet connection however on wifi everything works and even without wifi i can send calls and get texts sometimes... any help anyone could give me would be great and if you need to know the build or radio info ill google how to find it i guess
What version are you running?
I am running with Wi-fi tethering working and 3G/HSPA working fine. My version of Android does 95% of what I want in an Android phone. The only major features missing in the version I am running are:
Proximity detection(if you put your face to the phone it doesn't disable the touchscreen)
Compass - Don't use it
FM Radio - Don use it
Auto screen brightness control
It would be helpful to post details about your phone s/w (see my signature below for an example).
Like i said im noob a bit lol
My build the facial proximity works, and auto screen brightness as well compass.. i never tried though my GPS im not sure cuz like i said im having issues with the data service so i havent gotten a chance to check... and i would love to post my phone info but as good as i THOUGHT i was with electronics im very new to the phone end of it if you could tell me how id relle appreciate it
At least tell us what Android build you are using.
You know what build you downloaded, unzipped and put on SD card right?
I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

How do I check what radio version I have?

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P
I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).
Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
On the stock ROM and all Sense ROMs, there is an option under WiFi Settings -> Advanced -> Best WiFi Performance. Try selecting that and see if it makes a difference.

WOO! lol i found someone in the same boat as me...I go college as well and my ipad connects fine, but my laptop and phone (for some weird reason do not). Ive tried a whole variety of differernt rom and kernel combinations including stock, but nothing would work. I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!
I finally determine to try your method. I can't find evil 4G HD rom. Did you mean Evo?
