That's really good news! I'm glad. I can't wait to test it tomorrow.
Now that we know *what* the problem is, it looks like the next task is to figure out *why* this file isn't getting downloaded. Maybe there is a setting in gps.conf or gpsconfig.xml which is responsible for instructing the unit to download this file.
We are still missing the extended ephemeris (CBEE) file, which could speed things up even faster. No idea where to get that.
I'll keep looking into it.
EDIT:
I just went outside and tested it, and yes, it appears to have been the problem. crypted, you may want to add this revelation to your long list of notes.
The next step is obviously to figure out why the file isn't being downloaded automatically, since it will have to be updated manually every 7 or so days.
Cheers, and goodnight.

The GPSD controls downloading of that file. There aren't parameters to set in the conf. The only thing I could think of for my Prime was to write a bash script to download it. I didn't try to figure out what Android supports via /usr/bin/ executables because mine downloads like it should.
Y'all need to railroad your ROM Dev's to resolve the lack of LTO support in their structure. Then, I'd consider the Prime patch since LTO appears to be the file needed for this device instead of the others.
