Yes, I would like to know that too.
false--it's really how all this comotion came about. :/
no -.-'
A kid who changed build.prop doesn't know how to PORT a GPS driver.
Thats just nonsense.
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
I don't think any of the GB Rom supports GPS yet on the Vibrant.
the GPS Chip set wasn't very good to start with thou.
cm7 has gps working i always use it
I was about to post, now that cm7 is OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED, gps should work.

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.

A GPS on GB wouldn't make a difference, they'd be 500 feet away from actual distance.
They'd crash and die if they drove with that kind of GPS

Yeah I was thinking they could just port it over? Like they did 2.2 roms
the leak was already ported... just as this will be. i wouldn't expect gps, but hopefully we can get an actual recovery...
So when it is official could we just Odin back to stock and upgrade legitimately through kies?

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.

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.

More than likely no, since wifi calling also relies on proprietary stuff.in the Samsung frameworks.

That thread's dealing with the GT-I9000. Not sure how much help it would be for us T-Mo Vibrant owners. Seems all the ROMs have a problem with this. Even some that say they've got it working have taken it out because of FC issues. If anyone gets it right, I may have to switch from CM7. Used wi-fi calling a lot since T-Mo made it a free feature that DIDN'T eat package minutes!

That may be the case, but I suggest you check out at least these two roms. Both are running on our Vibrants and both feature working wifi calling (I've used both in the past week and can personally attest to this fact).

Pick anyone, it's better for sure. I use Kingsoft Miui on Semaphore kernel, I know it's way better than Bionix 1.3.1 or Biwinning or no matter what Froyo you can think of. Go ahead, it's time to upgrade.
+1, all of the 4.1.2 ROMs , IMO, are stable. There has been great progress with GPS in these ROMs as well. Upgrade, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Be warned that gps fixes that replace blobs can mix badly with emergency dialing and can cause intermittent (and in at least one case constant) RIL crashes when dialing an emergency number.

Also intermittent means it could work 90% but crash 10% of the time, so one test may not be conclusive. But frankly, I'm not sure if SlimBean uses the right libraries in the first place. prbassplayer/kravind can correct me if I'm wrong though.

Samsung used a special RIL request code for emergency numbers, so when we detect an emergency number, we use that code. When it does an emergency call it uses a command related to GPS and if the GPS libraries are out of whack, then the RIL can crash or receive corrupt GPS readings.
And also, 911 has to work even if no SIM card is present.

I don't think that's possible since you change your location.
You can use an external GPS which will surely provide a better lock than the internal GPS.
