v2 of this fix was posted on 12.25.08 It now is a complete VZW PRI instead of Sprint so banners issues as well as a few other tiny bugs are now GONE

This shouldn’t need to be applied to the Storm right. As I understand it the Storm GPS is unlocked already… or am I mistaken?

@Abhishek
zephxiii is correct. Sorry that I did not clarify it further as I did not want to get into the nitty gritty details on the hack. From my understanding, the hack involves incorporating a portion of the PRI from Sprint on the Verizon Touch Pro. It is done in such a way that the Verizon PRL is kept intact so the phone stays on VZW while at the same time unlocking the GPS. One side effect of the hack is that a Sprint banner now appears on the home screen.

The Touch pro is out for Verizon…just under a stupid numeric name, which I haven’t even bothered to remember…sumthin like the 6950 or some nonsense like that.

@ zephxiii

Gotcha. I guess that makes sense.

The Sprint banner is probably coming from the applied hacks…

Slightly confused here Kelly. You said the Touch Pro is on Verizon, but you mention a statement which is “you may also want to follow the instructions to remove the Sprint banner from your phone.”

I’m not on either, but I didn’t even know the Verizon Touch Pro had come out.

I don’t know what us Verizon people would do without PPCGeeks and xda-developers.
