programs for touch pro 2

---

i was just curious as to whether certain programs that im using for my touch pro 1 will work with the touch pro 2.
htorch,mortscript(used for random ringtones),s2u2,.net configuration tool,barcorama,cab xpress,clear temp,diamond tf3d configuration tool,diamond tv,diamond tweak (and if this will not work will sum1 please recommend a similar program designed for the vzw tp2),go news touch,microsoft live search,pandora (the version i have right now doesnt display properly so if theres a more appropriate one please recommend),personalizer(changes carrier name),ppcgeeks mobile(gotta have this),and the mobile youtube app. also, if anyone knows of any other useful apps that will definitely work for the touch pro 2 id love to give them a try...

the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...

any other recommendations pertaining to the tp2 would be greatly appreciated

Google maps worked automatically. It's been raining here, and I didn't want to stand out in the rain waiting for it to get a sattelite lock so I used QuickGPS. After it downloaded data, GMaps found the sats in less than 10 seconds and found my location very accurately.

how quickly does it get a lock without quickgps?

im assuming agps is only going to work with vzwnavigator and is turned off. am i right?

I'm not sure. It was raining Saturday when the phone was delivered. I stood outside for a minute, and it hadn't found a GPS lock yet. Once I used QuickGPS it locked on in a few seconds. I haven't used the GPS since then since my battery was draining fast enough from just normal use.

I got a lock right away with Google Maps with no third party priming software. I just had to set Google Maps manually to com4, baud rate 4800 and then enable GPS all the time instead of just with 911 and it locked on in about 3 seconds. Gonna test Garmin & Tomtom this afternoon to see if it needs the same manual setup.

the verizon tp2 has an app call quickgps that downloads updates to the gps...after i downloaded, ive been geting up to 15 satellites and instant locks....highly recommend this to anyone before changing any settings

That's an HTC application that's been in every HTC phone I've owned with GPS onboard. Yes - very handy.

my previous phone(vogue on verizon) had the gps locked so i never had this program. i was (at best) getting 5-6 satellites. after i updated my tp2 with this htc app i get around 12 which was a total shocker. i'm just so happy with this phone, now just waiting for some rom development to rise from the dead...lol

back to your original question

Yes, I too had an original HTC TPwith a lot of the same programs. Will they run on the TP2? I think the htorch may not as the TP2 doesn't have a flash for the camera.
