RWY 24R has one GPS (non RNP-AR) RNAV with vertical guidance (A330 isso-equipped). Don't see anything you bolded that requires tuning the ILS,either line selected or manual.
The regulation doesn't say "ILS" although it did years back. Today, for that particular runway ILS, LPV, or LNAV/VNAV would be the three options. Perhaps I misunderstood you when you stated previously, “No problem....a RWY 24R centerline navprofile will be created from a CF and you will get what is called the'doughnut' for vertical path info....works just as well as a tuned GS and will put you right on the PAPI if you hand fly it properly. The 'doughnut' can be monitored for adjustments around the turn.”

This thread is simply a technical and regulatory discussion, not a horse race or piano player shoot.
