I have tried pretty much all the custom roms that are available and have been having no luck getting a gps lock. The gps.conf are all the same as the stock rom and I flashed from stock with a gps lock. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi, I have an Ace from Canada Koodo. The ROM is S5830DTLSKI4. With the oragianl ROM, the GPS works great. but that ROM cannot show Chinese word correctly. Then I tried to flash other different ROMs. However, the GPS on all the other ROMs all failed. Cannot get any signal. I used "GPS Test" in the market to test. Cannot get any satellite. I even changed the GPS.conf file according http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626, but still not luck. if I switch back to the Koodo ROM, the GPS works again.
Does somebody have the same problem? any idea?
Thanks

I've been using JellyBean for awhile and have no problems with the GPS. I just installed the unofficial codename android ROM posted in the dev section here. So far it is my fav JellyBean Rom but I can't get a GPS lock. I look in settings and set it to use the internal GPS (even tried it without that setting). Any suggestions?
I recently installed CM 10.1 ROM and my location is not as accurate as before. Did the custom ROM cause this problem? If I flash back to the stock rom, will it be alright?
Hi Experts
I have i9100g with neatrom. I also wants to use custom rom because stock rom is very heavy and has lots of default service/process running
which makes device sluggis.
My problem is my GPS doesnt lock on custom AOSP roms. I have tried many version on CM from 9 to latest 11, Slim roms, MIUI, PA etc. GPS doesnt work
on any of them. The only custom rom on which my GPS works is OMNI ROM but problem is on OMNI rom also GPS takes very long time 5-10 minutes to lock
and many times doesnt lock at all.
using stock rom or neat rom GPS works like charm and lock time is around 10 sec without fail.
I heard some of the nightly builds of CM has this problem fixed but i couldnt find any. I have tried flashing a lots of roms.
Can somebody please let me know which version has this fix or is there any way to fix this issue?
I have tried all faster GPS kind of app on play store but didnt help. changing NTP server also didnt work.
I have read all the post related to this issue but coudn't find the solution.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HEAP....THIS GPS PROBLEM IS KILLING ME....NO MONEY FOR NEW PHONE
Thanks

Hey guys; I'm trying to figure out what the various problems are that we encounter with the different options for this phone, and I think I've narrowed it down to the list below - but I could be wrong. Please let me know if any of the following isn't true!
Common Problems
WiFi doesn't work: I THINK this is a ROM-specific problem. Try a different ROM (stock or custom).
Battery life is poor: This seems to be an issue with LineageOS, which as far as I can tell is the foundation of all custom ROMs. Try a stock ROM.
Cannot reprogram fingerprint sensor: This is a 'problem' with the stock ROMs. Try a custom ROM (though I've actually had some limited luck with the "Fingerprint Quick Action" app in the Play Store).
Cannot customize SystemUI (status bar, immersive mode, etc.): Another 'problem' with the stock ROM. I've hoped to find a custom kernel that opens this up, but so far no luck (does anyone have any tips out there?).
Cannot pass SafetyNet with Magisk: I've only been able to get this to work with custom ROMs (LineageOS), but it COULD be a kernel issue. Does anyone know of a kernel/stock ROM combination that passes SafetyNet?
Moto Mods don't work: This appears to be an issue with MOST custom ROMs, though some have fixed the issue to some degree. Try a different ROM.
Proximity and Accelerometer sensors don't work: I actually only ran into this problem on one specific stock ROM. Installing a new stock firmware resolved the issue.
Are any of my conclusions wrong? Are there more problems you've encountered that are worth documenting?
