Nav IT 3D There's another app called NavIT 3D which is very good. It shows 3D perspective maps like the stand alone car gps units and has audio directions and it does routing so you can select destination and it'll start showing & speaking directions. You can install from app catalog for free. It will install another dependency for speech output. You can download maps from here and since the maps are in single bin files (around 50Mb for a city) they don't eat up meta space like the millions of image files for map view. It doesn't seem to zoom out too much like map view though. I've also noticed that if you GPS is not giving good accuracy you may need to check that the GPS antenna clip is properly attached and has not come off. (Bottom left of the battery, there's a small rectangular thing which you can remove to see wifi & gps antenna cables/clips. Mine had come off once so gps was giving low accuracy fix & taking long time to get the fix. Putting the clip back tightly fixed the accuracy to very good or excellent usually. I use the GPS Fix app which keeps the gps alive by pinging it every 15 min.

I created a palm profile by using the 1st use app and giving my email and new password etc. I guess that should work for you too since my pre is also me*d programmed. The first use app does not complete totally and you can quit it after palm profile has been created. * Also it sometimes gives phone offline message for a second or two but nothing really happens (i got scared seeing that thinking its getting bricked or something). If you want you can confirm with some guru or your seller once that there's no issue doing this. Once profile is created you can check by logging in from pc/laptop also on this page (which allows you to remote erase also) then you can use backup app to login before running app cat. No need to run the backup app fully though as i've found it's useless - quit after its logged in and showing your details etc. Just FYI, Backup is much better with prebackup or save-restore app from preware. Or just copy the palm database to backup your email/sms/calllog/etc (as mentioned in another palm topic here) while contacts get synced from google/fb/etc and use notes (inglorious apps) to sync with google docs.

Maybe you need to log into palm profile using the 'backup' app (tap on the top left corner in backup app and you'll see palm profile menu) before app catalog. Every time i upgrade the rom it takes a few hours of using internet before app catalog will start working. I suspect palm backup is trying to syncing some things or some such thing (since sometimes it starts getting all my old apps back and i have to stop it) It never works for first few hours after update and always starts working flawlessly later (though occasionally it'll still give error 'this action couldn't be complete' or please update your os etc - but i think that's because i use 1X only and not wifi) Contacts etc take a lot of time to get sync'd first time after update in my case (1-2 hours of net being connected) @Genius: Companioin Link USB (CL USB) is attached below in case your app cat is still not working com.companionlink.clusbsync_1.2.4_all.zip

I feel thats apparent, I also felt this initially and got back to stock, but then timed both bootloads and found comparable result. Infact I feel Since the time I rooted its taking bit longer to boot... BUT would not go back from ROOT achieved with such effort. Take this link and test as many animations "BOOT ANIMATIONS" Thank you, . Yes this would require you to change the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip from what it is in mine and like: 480 800 10 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1 480 800 10 Width, height, frame rate p 1 0 foldername Play 1 time, then pause for 0 frames p 0 0 otherfolder Play infinite times, no pause between loops to 320 480 10 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1 after saving this file you have to zip back without compression. so may have to use something like 7zip from here This change is reversible and you can get back to stock by Running following commands in cmd promt with phone connected in usb debug mode through adb. adb shell ls -l /data/local rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip rm /data/local/android_audio.mp3 adb reboot.
