Is there such a thing? Wanted to know because I'm missing my GPS right now with some of the roms that I'm running (MIUI, Simple Honey). Please advised and thanks.

Simple Honey 3.9.1 Rom has a working GPS. You need to keep GPS on and it works well. If you turn off GPS, you will need to reboot before GPS works again. This works for me.

Trigger Redux GPS appears to work. I was even able to turn it off and on and it still worked.

There were questions about how this fix might effect battery life, but it is to early to tell.
Yep，Trigger Redux GPS works great for me too

I was just running 5,3 and it never found the GPS for some reason, it kept saying searching for GPS
what i did on villain was turn the gps on, restart the phone and just leave the gps on.
got a fix in 5 secs and really doesnt effect the battery much.
5.3 is really strange for GPS for me. When it finds my location it's great but often wont pick up where I am or thinks I am somewhere random.
GPS in Androbin beta r2 work good. I try it with google maps, ndrive and with "GPS test" app and no problem.
Sometimes I must wait for signal long time, but this is same as with original HTC ROM.
just installed sensehero 2.1 and finding that it wont get a fix on the GPS.
Is there a reason for this, or should i just leave it on and hope for the best?
just used soulehmoo's advice and it seemed to do the trick, but its on sensehero now. seems to work nice too. liking the background
I also tried aHero and sometimes i got a fix, but i never felt i was as good as when i had WM. Never tried a HTC so don't know how that worked
Villain 5.4 fixes a lot of GPS issues (have no problems any more)
if you have any problems (this goes for all 2.1 rom), do any of the following actions:
Reboot your phone with GPS on. Most of the times, this fixes everything
Reflash your radio ROM with GPS on when you shut down you phone to go into recovery mode
Radio doesn't need to be the latest version, latest version had connection and battery issues here (doesn't say you will have them also)
cool. thanks will try that, but how do I flash the radio? I'm pretty new to the flashing of ROMs.

same way you flash a rom. don't pull the battery, wait for it to reboot.
so i have to wipe the card and then put that on,flash it then reinstall a rom?

There's no need to wipe the card first or to reinstall the ROM afterwards. Also, iirc, the radio flashing actually takes place on the first reboot, not straight after you choose the recovery menu option to apply the update. You should be aware of this as a few people have been confused by it & done a battery pull in the middle of the update, with brick shaped results. As kendong2 says, don't pull the battery during the update procedure.
ah so i just put it on my SD card, and then click it like i would a rom, restaret the phone and let it do it?
I shall try that
Thanks
yes.....................
will that way work and still allow my Rom to work as well? I.won't notice a change?

None of the 2.1 ROMs has a 100% working GPS so far. All those "tricks" like rebooting with GPS turned on or reflashing the radio only work exactly one time. The next time GPS is turned off it's almost impossible to get a fix again.
If you want working GPS, go for a 1.5 ROM!
Hi everybody,
I am using 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 radio rom but the GPS won't work.
Everytime I turn on the GPS, the icon is blinking continuously but never connect. Anybody knows how to fix it? Thankyou very much.
rebooot with gps on & see if that makes a difference.
yea i had the same problem updated to newest radio like you still had it, tried rebooting with gps on still didnt work (this is in navigation)
i downloaded gps test and left that running, then opened navigation and it was able to work!
so to get to work download gps test and leave running when you need to use your gps!
i dont know why this happens, or why it works as a work around but it does for me
Yep. the GPS test trick is working also for me. Anyway if Wifi is on there is no way to make it work :-/ Dammmmn it's the only bad point on this rom. I hope the devs will update a fix soon

Did you try the app "GPS TEST"?
Hi,
After flashing AXURA 2.2.9.0, everything s great except my GPS that was not working and just a blinking grey icon with backslash line. During NAvigation, it didnt lock, always searching GPS.
Anyone has same thing? Any idea?
Click my general sticky and find the digitaltoddy fix.
hi,
digitaltoddy fix as same as tool in SGS toolbox didnt fix. Stock rom also failed, maybe hardware or other. I live in Japan using vibrant.
Anyway, thanks for noob guides.
Try GPSFix. Download it from the Market. It worked for me.
If that doesn't do it, try GPSRestore also from the Market.

Hi,
I've pushed GPSrestore Samsung also but not working.
But at last, i tried to flash Nero 5, it worked, and soon many birds came using GPS Test. Few days ago, i flashed Bionix 1.2.1, GPS gets improved.
I dont know why, but i guest because better modem on KA5.
Thanks.
Running OMFGB 1.2.0.
Whenever I attempt to use Navigation, GPS locates me like it should, navigation begins then GPS is lost and never reconnects. Appears I am not the only one with this issue. Two others posted in actual OMFGB development thread, but no responses.
I really enjoy this ROM, but need to get GPS to work correctly.
Any ideas???

There was a GPS bug located in CyanogenMod that has been fixed in all of the CM7 ROMs, as fas as I know. This was also an issue with the Froyo CM6 ROMs (and, I think, even the Conap's Eclair CM5 ELB.) See this post in the GSB thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11377484&highlight=gps#post11377484
Anyway, try one of the CM7 ROMs instead, if you do a lot of Navigation.
Yeah this is a problem with both omgb and omfgb. note that the gps signal is not lost, but the navigation app stops communicating. I prefer omgb over cm7 because the exchange mail actually works. Unfortunately, the developer of these roms is not as responsive as some other devs. If you haven't tried gsb, I would. Everything but exchange mail works.

Edit - I tested a bit more. Gps status does not lose fix, but navigation and maps do after 5 or so.

I ended up going back to CM7. I really liked the default load of OMFGB. Didnt have to tweak all the screens and settings, but oh well. I got CM7 almost where I want it.
Thanks!
3 Different ROM GPS not working
I tried 3 different ROMS for gingerbread OMGB, Condemned CM7 and GingerTaz 27 and in all of them I cant get google maps and Osmand to connect to satelitte. It keep losing GPS connection after 2 minutes and never been able to reconnect.
everytime I flash the rom I did full wipe (data, cache and dalvik).
Is there any gingerbread Rom that I can try which has the GPS problem corrected ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
update: I flash GSB CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC0 the GPS working so far, however the phone a bit slugish

Similar experience here with several GB rom (by Tazz, CS, Mac & OMGB/OMFGB - GPS would usually start & work - but if I start driving away in NAV (within Car Mode or standalone, even in Map mode) - it will announced "GPS Signal loss .... screen display Searching GPS, etc." & won't regain functionality - even if I were to pull over and use GPS Tool to reset/download fresh datasets. I gave up - been careful & spending time doing a full SD wipe, clearing cache data & dalvik and checking/verifying all the steps - all of the developers are working hard on solutions & resolve the issues.
GSB seemed to be most reliable, V3.3 was excellent as I used it last week on a 3 hour freeway road trip and it never once lost signal/navigation - used it alongside the old trusty Garmin unit. Grabbed & flashed the latest V3.4 GSB release and it's just as good, if not better, for other minor fixes - not running the Super Charger script, bumped Performance setting up one notch to 710/480 and Boot reset, JIT off and everything else default. Using moderate ATK setting only - and I'm getting very good results overall on this GB custom ROM. Very responsive & I'm not going to push the speed any higher as it is excellent in my scoring of this "EOL" device with zero trade-in value to VZW, LOL.
Let's keep in mind that all of these GB roms are basically all work in progress, not exactly "Final Release" but seemed to be getting close to being declared a "finished product" ready for prime time, but GSB is my "biased" preference as a daily rom over the others.
I have been using the latest CM7 stable and the GPS just does not work. Previously, I used MIUI and I used a handful of their releases. Only one of the ROMs had working GPS.
Finally got tired of not having a fast, accurate GPS. I Heimdall'd back to stock, updated to stock 2.2 using Samsung Kies and GPS still does not work.
I am beside myself. I need a working and accurate GPS. I have tried all the patches, zip files, fixes and just cannot locate a combanation that work for me.
Is there a concensus ROM with fast and accurate GPS?
I'v been running Toxic8 with great results so far.
Pretty much all Froyo ROMs have working, accurate GPS. At least, as accurate as the Vibrant is capable of. Vibrant GPS could best be described as "modest".
There are some tweaks you can use to try to improve your lock. Give AngryGPS a try and see if it can lock on.
I use MIUI, and I run AngryGPS before using my Navigation. Works like a charm and gets a good, strong lock.

If you flashed to stock 2.2 and your GPS does not work, you have something else that is wrong. JI6 had working GPS out of the box. Use LBSTestMode or Angry GPS to do some diagnostics.
I am running Trigger 08/03 which runs Android 2.3.5
GPS works perfectly
on the version Trigger 08/22 which followed the GPS didn't work for me.
try bionix
