Help (Help) GPS fix for CM+, BT fix stock ICS.

[steamer86]

Is there a way to correct the GPS lag on CM, Pace, ect? I know about the GPS state and assisted data, this is not the problem. All the roms besides stock have an intermittent consistent lag of around 5 to 10 seconds and it is very annoying. It has gotten me slightly lost on more than one occasion. It really seems like a timed battery saving thing or something I'm unaware of. I have gone back to stock rooted ICS because of this, yet I want BT working. I have noticed I'm also saving much more battery life on ICS and it feels a bit snappier at times (junk disabled) but has its own quirks. If I could get BT working on VZ7, I'd stay on it.

PS, charging still blows on stock ICS.

We have found that the best way to improve GPS on CM and others was to flash a stock-based ROM, turn on GPS and get a solid fix, then, without turning GPS off, reboot to recovery and install your ROM of choice.

BT will probably never be fixed in the stock-based ROMs. It may be possible but it would take someone who is intimately familiar with the bluetooth stack. If you want a really solid, snappy ROM, try one of the CM10 stable releases and use the process I explained for GPS.
