Hey all,
I just wanted to let you know that I am working on a german ROM with GPS support.
Thanks to the wonderfull SN from http://www.go-opensource.de , I now have the romdump of a Vodaphone VPA compact GPS (aka Trinity). The ROM version is 1.23.162.2.

Because I believe one should always share, I have uploaded it to the FTP. While I am planning to make a flashable ROM out of it myself, I don't mind if someone else beats me to it (lvsw maybe?).
I am new to the scene so I'll have to read up on a lot of stuff before I'll risk my P3600. So don't expect any public usable stuff in the next few days while I figure this out.

Thanks again to SN, if you're german and waiting for the ROM, check his site in the meantime and maybe click some ads. Without him, this wouldn't be possible!

Rom is here:

1) Now, you should use aChef tools (+buildimgfs.exe) to insert files from dump folder to some trin's nb (no matter from wht ROM).
2) Check this new OS.nb with OSChecker by Olipro. If it is valid you will have no risk for flash.
4) Flash this rom
5) Have fun :)

But the nb I use should be bigger then my part02.raw, right?
The only one I extracted so far is smaller. Looking for a bigger one now.

Looks like I've done it! I just flashed it and it WORKS!
Now I'll need to clean it up a little, bundle it with a GPS rom and we're good to go. So awesome!
Thanks to everyone involved!!!
