Default IGO 8 not working on newly flashed ROM

OK, I think I've exhausted my search for answers and came up empty, so I'll make my first post.

I recently flashed a new ROM to my AT&T Tilt. I was running Dutty's 6.1 and just flashed the PC Ultimate V17 with WM6.5. My radio is 1.65.24.36 in case anyone was wondering. Anyway, everything runs fine on my phone, except one thing. When I reinstall my IGO 8 after the flash, there is a problem. When I select the program from the program list after installation, the wait circle flashes for a second and nothing happens. The app never runs. I have done everything the same as when I flashed Dutty's. It worked great on Dutty's, but not the PC Ultimate I flashed the other day. If anyone knows how to make it work, please let me know. Thanks for the help.

Sorry if you have already done this, but did you disable A-GPS?

The Assisted GPS is disabled (by default but I made sure anyway). I wouldn't know if the GPS was working on it anyway since the entire program does not run once it is selected. It acts like it starts then nothing. I don't want to go back to another ROM since I like this one, but I want my GPS to work as a stand alone and not use any data connections. I'm in Turkey and data sucks up my kontours (prepaid units), so I try not to use it.

Have you tried things like GPSTest, or any *other* GPS software to make sure the GPS is working at all?

I saw the same thing happen on an HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). It was resolved with some changes to the sys.txt file in the iGofolder.

Maybe check with iGO's forums to see if they can help?

If you have HTC Home running you will have to uncheck it from the today screen, soft reset, and then run igo8.

Well, I verified my GPS is working and it's picking up sats just fine with Google maps. With the Ultimate PDA Rom, there is no HTC Home, so I can't de-select it. It only has the Diamond and Windows Default. I was looking online and there was mention of having to edit the sys.txt file. Hell, there are only 2 entries in my sys.txt file, so I don't know what it would be changed to. I'm going to flash the updated rom this weekend and see what happens, but if anyone knows what else to do, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with my ROM (see sig). No HTC home.
Not GPS-related, as the app won't even start loading/show a splash screen. I got it to run a couple of times straight after a soft reset, but as soon as I've done something on the phone it won't load anymore.

No luck for me. I of course replaced the sys.txt both in program files\igo8 and storage card\igo8, and even did a soft reset for the fun.
