What I mean by it not working is I can't seem to get a signal, even outdoors.

Is there anything else I could do by staying on the MiniMoto ROM?

I suggest restoring stock and see if gps still works, or try a different rom.

Likely hardware failure, and no fix.
You can try
Flashing XML firmware
Or
Take it apart, maybe a bad connection to antenna.

Okay I thought of something. I had this phone on the Chinese version of the ROM. It was Chinese stock. After installing minimoto which uses Verizon ROM (Debloated and modified) maybe if I go back to the Chinese ROM my GPS will work once again.
