You might want to flash to something where you had a reasonably working GPS, if that was ever the case for you. Then flash to 2.1 from there.
I'm looking at the tweakable settings of the GPS code now, but don't yet have much to add. Lastly, try flashing Axura 2.0.4 and see if that works for you. I get the best results on that ROM and I think it has something to do with the gps configuration file. But, as I said, I'm still investigating.
When you run your tests, is WiFi turned off?

GPS problem on bionix

I have bionix final rom. It seems my gps it's not working. I never can get a lock on. What is the problem? My location is Malaysia. I'm not using assisted. Please help.

click the link in my signature and in the first and second post I have the steps you need to take to have it work perfectly.
i had problems with bionix final, thought about flashing the ji2 gps, though, the ji6 gps was working fine in 1.9.1. but i ended up just flashing fusion anyway and gps is back to fully functional. i know that doesn't answer your question necessarily, but i posted in the final thread about the gps and never got an answer.
so try flashing a ji2 or ji6 gps (even though final is based on ji6) or flash fusion or 1.9/1.9.1.

Potential Port? Darkys_v9.2_Extreme_Edition

expert noob here so be gentle I flashed this rom knowing full well it's for the european version of the galaxy. It was Blazing fast on my phone, although the modem doesn't work I was fine with wifi only. I tried to flash kb1 ka7 and a couple others but could not get stability beyond a few minutes. There is also the Samsung App store that was very interesting and was fully functional...pulled down a couple cool apps that are not in the market. My question(s), is there a way to get this ROM running on US phones? It seems so close to working and honestly mu phone has never felt so fast...also I went to see if I could get the Samsung App apk but on the samsung site its NA for the US...so with root explorer I pulled the apk and installed with success but i'm only able to see 1 app available running my current axura 229 rom, with Darky's rom I saw everything. I'm willing to do what I can if anyone is interested in this rom.

So... about this GPS problem...

I have been diligently searching for a thread to pop up along the lines of "GPS FIX" But I can't find any. I just wanna know if there is a definitive fix in the nightlies or not?
Not really. Some people are replacing their gps framework with one from an early nightly with generally working GPS. Other than that it seems different radios etc. Are having varying results.

Bad news here, I am on cm7 nightly 17, still without GPS( It worked only once).
The once worked method, which is replacing gps.vision.so from nightly #4 no longer works.

Yea this is how its been for several nightlies. GPS works on first reboot, but it doesn't work if you turn it off then back on again. I'm on #17 too.

This is the issue I had. I didnt mind replacing the gps.vision.so from Nightly #4 into the new Nightly's but now thats not even working on Nightly #17. It seems the GPS issue is getting progressively worse.
I'm on RC2 and was able to get my GPS working by flashing the latest AUS radio image (12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27). Before flashing it I was still on the old version from tmobile (12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15). After flashing the AUS radio image my GPS started working but I was having problems with the reliability and speed of my data connection, even standing less than 800' from a T-mobile tower I was getting 1.5Mb/s download at best and it would only come in bursts. At that point I flashed the T-mobile image (12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26) from the OTA update and my data problems were fixed, started getting a steady connection and 4Mb/s+ download standing in the exact same spot, AND my GPS was still working. I've rebooted my phone several times since then I used the GPS for about 2 hours strait yesterday so it seems to be persistent and stable.
I have found that if I leave my GPS ON before I flash a new nightly or ROM, that it works fine. I have only ran into the GPS issue a few times but that was because I had it off before I flashed a new build. Never messed switching RADIOs or anything.
Here is what I have done to fix issues:
-If I flashed a new CM7 Gingerbread ROM without GPS ON prior to the flash, I usually go back to CM6 and turn GPS ON and then reflash the CM7 ROM and it works.
-Yesterday had a strange issue though, I went to Flash a new CM7 nightly and sure enough I forgot to leave GPS ON. So I went back to CM6 and tried to turn GPS on and it didn't work. So I then Flashed one of the MIUI ROMs and that still didn't work. So then I tried Flashing the newest Nightly from CM again and it worked very wierd.
That has been my experience with this GPS issue. Some how I have managed to fix it myself without too much trouble. Hopefully this helps people with these issues.

This worked for me also. I backed up RC2 with gps on, flashed MIUI, and then restored and blam it worked! thanks, I needed this so badly.
I had this problem for a while as well. Flashing CM7 #3 did the trick for me. I downloaded a copy of xboarder56's stock GB test ROM today and I have to say it works flawlessly! Smooth and fast and with working GPS.

So from the input I gather that nightlies have not yet fixed the problem. Since I don't need the GPS until the summer I guess I can wait a month or two before searching again...
Gps works fine for me.

Fixed the GPS issue on CM7 by upgrading the radio:
Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17. It works just fine in the US.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OKYRIPQW
To flash radio you must have radio s-off using gfree.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
You need to downgrade to the stock kernel or CM 6.1.0 for gfree to work.
I'm not sure what the problem is either, but I decided to leave the GPS/Navigation running over one night. When I woke up, the GPS fixed itself. I haven't had a problem since then.
use these basic steps to try and fix the gps:

But does it work when you turn GPS on/off/on after rebooting? My GPS works fine after flashing a new radio till I turn it off and back on again.

Voodoo lagfix, I messed up my phone, help!

Help please!
Just installed voodoo lagfix.
And it is going through a bootloop... I see the Vibrant boot screen, then Galaxy S Gt-i9000 boot screen, and some lady saying "not enough space on partition." Does this loop over and over.
What did I do wrong?
How can I resolve?
Was running deodexed/rooted KB5.
I just went into recovery and I'm disabling voodoo, lets see what that does.
Well with voodoo disabled my phone boots up again.
What am I doing wrong with voodoo enabled?
strange, most of the stuff on my phone is gone, I don't even have an Android Market now.
Which kernel did you flash? there's one kernel specificaly for 2.2 KB5 that is absolute stock with the only difference being that it has voodoo enabled...
It worked for me! First, flash the stock 2.2 UVKB5 deodexed/rooted ROM, then flash the stock kernel with voodoo enabled, there shouldn't be any issues...

I went to voodoos website, and downloaded voodoo 5.5 for froyo.

I can flash the new kernel with current voodoo disabled without problems right? I don't have to odin back to stock?

It should be safe to flash this kernel with voodoo disabled if you're still on stock Froyo 2.2 KB5 deodexed. After flashing this, it'll take like 10 min to do its magic (you'll hear the woman's voice telling you the status).
Actually is the same as ferhanmm posted up there

Thanks, flashed it, but my phone is still acting strange. For example, Android Market is completely missing.
I'm going to disable voodoo again, flash deodexed/rooted KB5 back, start fresh, and try installing Voodoo again. Hope I don't mess something up again.
ps...your link didn't work

Man this isn't my day.
I disabled voodoo
Reinstalled deodexed/kb5 using cwm
then tried installing the voodoo kb5 kernel, and my phone is in some strange screen I've never seen before
There is a picture of a box, with an arrow coming out of the box, pointing to the android man, with a progress bar on the bottom, but nothing is happening other than the progress bar spinning.
errrrr

I suggest doing a full wipe and Odin back to stock!!! from there, flash 2.2 kb5 and then the kernel with voodoo.
BTW, how are you flashing the kernel? I used an app called SGS Kernel Flasher, you can download it from the market...
Ok I think I'm ok now.
Got voodoo working.
Phone seems to still lag though, got to play with it some more.
My quadrant score is now 1400, if that even matters.
I was using cwm to flash the kernel.
Thanks to everyone above for their help
Awesome! glad you could make it work.
I would flash eclair with odin and reflash get all the ghosts out of the system that always works for me.

Those with GPS issues

I was having GPS issues on EVERY rom I tried prior to remembering something I learned with my Epic 4g (Galaxy S).
I first Odin'd back to stock and when I did I Re-Partitioned and clicked Phone EFS Clear (this seemed to fix the GPS issue we were having on Epic) in Odin.
After this I flashed the EC09 modem with Heimdall (make sure you only use the modem.bin file when putting it in modem box).
Then I flashed CWM4 and then reflashed MIUI. I have since upgraded and downgraded MIUI multiple times and my gps always locks in less than 10seconds (make sure to use GPS Status to download GPS data on your first use).
The problem seems to lie with us flash addicts that like to try every single combo of every single rom and modem. The flashing and reflashing of modems seems to do something that screws with the GPS, I have since learned to find a modem that I like and stick with it, you can flash and reflash roms all day (in CWM) and it does not seem to effect the GPS (for me at least). I hope this helped people out.

edit: And one more thing, be forewarned you have to do *228 to reactivate the phone, and I even had to call Verizon and speak with tech support to fix my data but it only took them about 45 seconds and I was back up.

+1 flashed a nightly with latest kernel and got solid gps lock within 10 sec
My GPS is awesome. Both TKSGB and leanKernel worked fine in getting mine to work better. Using TSM Resurrection (although I'll be switching to PWGB soon due to stability issues).
Is jt's kernel still having problems with wifi and 3g not working when turning the screen on? I got tired of toggling airplane mode last time I tried it.
