Root Just rooted and now no GPS

I think we all have those "sweaty" moments. Everytime I do something new and GPS takes awhile to lock, I get nervous about whether I broke something :)

And especially the first time.

It's like riding a bike without the training wheels the very first time.... It's hairy, scary, and all around nerve wracking - but within a week you're a pro....

Also, that is one thing that has never been mentioned anywhere - that after rooting / installing a ROM, the first boot may take significantly longer and / or services may be slow to start up after the first boot....

I think this should be a part of every FAQ on rooting / swapping ROMs.

ha ha yeah, when i rooted it was still sorta unknown, no roms were out, i sat with root and nothing. I finally got drocap2, no biggie and then roms kinda sprung out to me after a while, and i was ignoring them, figuring its more dangerous than safe and then i figure to give it a little reading and checked it out and figured out its not so bad, not much you can do to screw it up right now
