I'm aware that there are TONS of Gingerbread roms. But the thing that has been keeping me back from flashing is that GPS is broken. Does anyone know of any ROM that has working GPS in GB??
If there was a working GPS for TB,all but the CM7 builds would have GPS in the list of working features.
Short answer, no.

Without working GPS drivers for GB, this will never happen. Eugene claims to have done it, but he's disassociated himself with XDA. Personally I've never seen any proof of that claim.

Dang guys.. I really want GB haha
I hear you, if the GPS isn't working, never mind. Is there any other roms that are really nice for the SGH-T959?
I like the rotation of the icons on the G2, I would like to add that feature to my SGH-T959.
I am also waiting for GPS working on Gingerbread. However, I might try CM7 this week. If map is working, it still can take me to the destination.

The camera and Bluetooth audio are screwed but since I didn't use them I created EnergyExpressoXDA, its a couple pages back. Tazz& Tenzo deserve most of the credit I just added my preferred tweak and espresso look and shared it.
I doubt those issues will be resolved by us. Those 2 have their hands full, now there is GB and I'm using an incredible for daily use although I haven't left the community so if it gets done I'll happily redo the user experience mods.

It's worth a shot, but in my experience the camera will most likely never work. Froyolicious was a myTouch 2.2 port, so you can look at that thread and get an idea of how to start. Maybe someone other than me can figure it out.

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.

From the thread on CM7 for the Vibrant:
Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.

In the video for GPS and crap what he did was
change the build.prop so it looked like it was 2.3
then he used one of the 2.2 roms with perfect GPS for him, I think he used AXURA but i'm not sure about that.
After that, he just made a video, went over the settings and about phone and said it was 2.3 didn't even mention the kernel, which would've told everyone that its a 2.2 but obviously most people don't know what kernel is.. so w/e

Software cannot fix Hardware, and hardware is the main issue most people have.
If GPS DOES work, then it'd be for a few users on the Vibrant forum.
