??? huh dude im not sure but wifi tether will probably go faster with overclock. for the love of god please check your sentence, its a fragment sentence(learned that in 6th grade thank you ms wilkins).
I know this is kind of off-topic, but do you install the umph kernal or is there another method?

Ticker, have you tried updating the GPS libraries on CM7 by following this link: http://androidforums.com/motorola-triumph/391436-fix-motorola-triumphs-slow-gps-updating-gps-library.html I think that what boomer was talking about.
also try the new method... the agps thing. it may work as well

No, this is something I'm building myself. I'm running a new build to see if I caught up with Tickerguy's fixes.
If the build goes okay, I'll post a new one on my thread.
He wasn't getting a GPS lock. He was just going to Google maps and seeing his location from cell sites n Wi-Fi. He is a self proclaimed noob.

Actually sir I don't use WiFi for maps. That's kind of useless when you think about it lol all I did was boot up google maps while walking and got locked onto my location of where I was walking instantly.
Edit: and I really didn't have much of a signal for cell data.

The only way I'm convinced you have a working GPS is if you load GPS Status (the tool box from the Market) and show a lock and Lat/Long fix on THAT application.
Maps will use whatever it can get, including cell position. That does NOT mean you have a working GPS. If the GPS icon is flashing (or off) there is no lock - the only way you have a lock is if it's on STEADY.
The problem appears to be a missing call somewhere in the CM7 code and there's no debugging trace around the original code that tells me where it is. This is proving to be a real BITCH to find and is where all my time working on this beast is focused right now. The download of both the NTP time and assist data fails with a "General failure" return code which tells me exactly NOTHING about why it went boom. All the other calls into the RPC routines on the chip succeed - but those two have to work. That's where the problem is and until I can fix it I'm very much from Missouri on anyone claiming theirs is working.

Yeah sorry bout that. I thought I was on to something. Is there anything in the coding that messes up the way mp3 tags are sorted in the music player? Just curious in regards to a post I posted earlier.
I had that same problem back on the EVO with CM7, I think its just an overall CM issue?

All I added to the kernel was EXT4 FS support and overclocking. I don't know about anything else.

Does that automatically format the partitions in ext4? I've been itching to try a script but it's only compatible with ext4
no you have to manually do that conversion.... it just is able to run with that filesystem.

you should be able to do it through recovery.... but ask issac and tickerguy if thats the best approach because they are the ones who made the recovery...... and i dont want you to mess up you phone

Mine. While it's true that we're building from the same sauce (and any future TG release will probably contain the same stuff as my builds), I don't want to clutter up his thread by posting a random build 12 pages into it.

Looks like the switch went okay:
