I've tried XWJW5 and XWJW6 Roms today but the GPS is just as bad on both of them. Ive tried different combinations of modems and CSC's but with no success, the GPS is terrible on them all. I flashed back to Gamers Rom V11 to see if it was a hardware problem but Gamers rom GPS worked flawlessly again. I live in the UK on Orange network so does anyone know of a way to have a perfect GPS on any combination of CSC and Modem on any XXJW4, XWJW5 or XWJW6 rom? then hopefully i can have SKy Go and a perfect GPS working on my phone because at the minute i'm having to pick between working GPS and no Sky Go or Terrible GPS and working Sky Go

I like this ROM very much and my question is if i move to XXJW6 will i have a better GPS?
Please users of this ROM tell me your GPS status
Thanks in advance

I think the answer to both of these is probably to the ZSJPG modem and applying gps.conf fix if you haven't done it, but not as important as the modem
I'm not suggesting this combo as one thing led to another, but I'm running XWJW6 for a Euro CSC I used OXAJW4 and then I realised I couldn't root it so I plumped for CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.
Since I had CF-Root with CWM I found a ZSJPG modem CWM package. I guess it's practically not much better than JW4 now, but it's a vast improvement on the latest Orange UK branded firmware previously on it.
