It's the only issue I see with the GPE rom from digitalhigh, sigh.
You should be able to no prob. Do a search for "GPS" in the thread see if anything comes up. For aosp roms you get GPS by flashing or restoring a sense Nandroid, getting a GPS lock, then go into recovery and flash or restore an aosp Nandroid. I don't think gpe needs that tho

Did you try a nandroid of a sense ROM with GPS working then going to gpe?
Yup, didn't do squat, had a sense rom with GPS lock, rebooted into recovery, flashed GPE, no dice
I should note that it SEEMS that it's working but in fact isn't, I'm a heavy Google plus locations user and it's using cell triangulation not gps, no luck in gps test either
It's working fine here. Flashed GPE 7/3 yesterday afternoon, used GPS that night for navigation. Worked like a charm.

I'm wanting to know if flashing a new rom can automatically change my RIL's? I know radio does not change unless I purposely flash a new radio, but without using ROM names I'll try to describe my issue and the reason behind my question.
I was using a Sense 3.5 rom for a week with everything working just great. I decided to try a different kernel with that rom and after flashing the new kernel my gps stopped working. OK, reflash the original rom and things are back to working well.
THEN...I decide I want to try CM7 so I flash a CM rom and try it out for a couple days, decide that it's really not going to work for me and go back to original rom with original kernel.
NOW...gps is taking forever to lock, and google nav doesn't lock at all unless I open up a gps app like gps status or chartcross gps test. I flashed cryps AGPS patch for tmous users and it still has this same issue.
Any ideas, opinions, or other solutions are greatly appreciated. I use my navigation a lot and it's a key requirement for my phone so quick gps lock is extremely important for me.

Mostly the rils are replaced by the rom IF the chef puts it in. But more inclined all do.
And yes the ril and radio is essential to have gps working quickly. So you can just match the radio to the ril.
If that doesn't work, compare the rils on an old nandroid and the new rom. I'm going to say that the rils will be different.
And also in my experience, flashing different kernels also affects the gps locks as well. For me bricked and faux kernels always borked my gps. So now I only go with the bundled kernel, because most times, the dev tested out the gps with the kernel before releasing it.
You can always flash the matching radio to the RIL you now have, that should sort you out

Thanks for the answers and suggestions so far. So this is what I've done so far:
- reflashed first rom after doing a factory reset/wipe in ext4 recovery. It used to work well with my signal and my gps using the latest 10.56 TmoUS radio. After trying to get lock for 15 minutes I gave up
- read the RIL thread and flashed the recommended .169 ril for the 10.56 radio and still bad gps, no lock. What's weird is in both the above cases Ucenter gps app finds satellites but google nav and endomondo do not lock, ever. So I know my gps hardware is working but it's just not communicating with any apps.
- I'm going to now try using Superwipe and reinstalling the rom 1 more time, not sure if that will do anything at all but I'm out of ideas. Otherwise I may have to give up on this particular rom even though it used to work well.
And no, the rom does not recommend any particular radio.
Remember to try the rom (with matching ril) without flashing a kernel first.
Hi all,
Did anyone able to use gps with custom rom ( I would say CM base). I research and try everything that's I could find here but not success.
Every time I do clean wipe everything including a internal storage. So that will nothing left behind.
I know that stock is work fine with gps. some said that install and replace stock but I have no idea that what file will left in our device when we delete all.
Always had the same problem when running Paranoid Android (not tried other ROMs). Had to return to stock, where GPS runs fine. Would also love to kknow how people have got it functioning.
I am trying too. I modified gps.conf files, tried some workarounds mentioned in cm11 thread like restoring GPS Status backup from stock with titanium so far with no success. Some people say that it works but it doesn't on mine whatever I do.
I run on CM and I don't have any problem. Everything works fine with gps and I didn't use any fix or something similar.
I'm on CM 11-20140627 and I have 1032 phone.
Interesting, why does it work on some while it doesn't on others? Maybe some variants are having problems...
I have xt1033 asia version.

Which recovery did you use?
CWM
As I wonder is about library missing or some partition need from stock ?
I've also been using the micro gapps package, would this matter?
I had problems with Paranoid Android and GPS too... If anyone know something about that, please comment!

I am having he same problem on XT1032 running Carbon ROM. GPS worked fine on stock, no signal with Carbon.
I found many answers saying to flash stock and then reflash custom ROM. I will try it, but I wonder, how does this help? Isn't the phone restoring the whole system? Do I have to keep the gps.conf from stock?
I've read in some CM thread on here you need to flash stock ROM then enable GPS and get a lock. Once you've done that then flash your custom rom. Sounds STUPID and dosent make sense I know, but a lot of people say this is how they got it to work.
EDIT: I can confirm. I've just flashed stock 4.4.4 and played around with google maps. Flashed CM11 nightly and my GPS is now working ok

Did you wipe anything, like Dalvik, Cache and Data, or you just flashed it over?

Sorry people, I was so happy to have my phone back working, I forgot to write it back here.
Yes it worked indeed, all I did was flashing back the stock, going outside to have a gps lock with gmaps, then re-flashing back the Carbon. I also kept a copy of the gps.conf, but I never needed it, the GPS got a fix quickly. Working fine so far, it only takes some tens of seconds to fix, from time to time.
I can't remember if I also did all the wiping, I think I didn't, but I made so many trials in a couple days, I am not sure.
Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, this worked for me too on PA.
I couldn't even see a single sat (it wasn't just a lock problem). No matter with gps patch, gpx fix app, or gps.conf I used.
What I did?: Back to stock, lock GPS, flash again the custom ROM (but don't wipe /system!).
Good luck on that guys, it should work for you too.

GPS works fine on this unofficial CM11 rom for me. Stable daily driver rom for me, YMMV.
General advice is to:
- make sure you get a GPS lock on stock rom first
- flash CM11 (or other custom rom)
There may not be a file left on the device. it may just be that stock contains the code to initialize the GPS functionality on the SoC or chipset firmware. Whatever, it works...
Hello!
First time poster.
So when I first got my HTC, I rooted/unlocked, TWRP. Then I installed the Sinless audiophile ROM. Was going great until I realized navigation wasn't functioning because it thought my GPS was off (though it did move my position sometimes, probably from wifi). I got some GPS fix apps, but none would be able to get a lock.
Found stuff in the ROM thread on someone who had the issue. Dev gave him a GPS.conf replacement or the advice to flash a different ROM (with Sense, sinless is Gpe), get a GPS lock, then flash back to sinless. The new .conf file didn't help. The poster said he fixed it by doing the flash-away/flash back recommendation.
I did flash to viper and clean Roms after that, and GPS worked fine off the bat on both. I did a full wipe and loaded Sinless Art version, GPS broken again.
So can someone explain what the Dev meant when he said go to a different ROM and get a "gps lock" then flash back? Was I suppose to do a dirty install instead of a wipe? Was I suppose to do sething with a "GPS lock" app?
Also any other fix ideas appreciated. Would prefer to stick with the sinless rom if possible.

Hi,
maybe anyone has some suggestions...i'm not getting any GPS Fix...i've flashed the Stock 4.4.2 and flashed the 10.28 Nightly.
I'm not getting any GPS-Fix. I've tried probably anything i can think of: GPS-Status Apps, Sygic, Google Maps and other Stuff...
A-GPS is working, but also not very well.
Hopefully someone can put me in the right direction...

Hi David. You have to flash your phone back the stock firmware. And turn on your GPS and Wifi manually on the Settings. While your phone is on stock, run your GPS apps and teu to obtain the signals. DO NOT turn off your GPS and WiFi settings. Now you can flash your phone to any ROMs.
Only stock firmware have ability to activate the GPS hardware sensor.
Hi saranay
thanks for your reply. Right now i'm a bit confused, because i never actually did that with the JBBL Cyanogenmod Versions. Or at least, i never did that on purpose...
Do you know, if i can flash the stock Rom with CWM/TWRP? Or do i have to use RSD Lite? I know that i have to use Deodexed Roms on a Samsung Galaxy...probably the same with the Razr HD?

I don't think you can flash sbf stock files on CWM/TWRP, but only on Fastboot Mode.
But you can try de/odexed files for Razr HD to flash back to stock to see if you can get your GPS and Wifi to work first.
From my experience. I just used RSD Lite to get a fresh start.
I've avoided the issue with GPS by using only sense based roms, but I wanted to check up on this topic because I'm hoping to flash CM this weekend.
ISSUE: GPS doesn't sync properly and can't find location when using a rom that strays away from stock. I had a LG G3 that had the same issue when I flash a different rom as well, so I figure it's not simply a phone problem.
I want to use CM because certain things (fm radio, battery conservation, customization) works so using a sense based rom is not my solution in this case. For instance the FM radio app doesn't work on the Verizon M8 Sense roms. So my question is if this is a solved issue or something that is unavoidable due to software/hardware incompatiblity?
I successfully fixed this this week using Echo5kilo's technique from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/gps-issues-roms-stock-t2891292/page4
No success with just finding a GPS.conf file and pasting in. Just did a nandroid backup via TWRP, cleared dalvik and cache, installed the linked rooted sense ROM (I used the 5.0.1 since was already on lollipop), got a lock with GPS test, copied GPS.conf and gpsconf.backup to external SD, reinstalled nandroid backup via TWRP, and overwrote GPS files in system.Etc.
All is now well on CM 12.1.
Good luck!
