I know that it is only labeled for CM7, but how will you know if it works on other rooms if no one ever tries? That gpsd for cm7 works pretty damn well, after all...oopsyeah, this is definitely for CM7-based ROMs only..
That's the same gpsd as used in this fix! I might post just the gpsd file, but it's also packed in the script file, so I don't know how necessary that would be.
su
sh gpsconf.sh
It seems that within the first 24 hours of flashing, GPS works great, and after that it's hit-and-miss.

rebootV1.5.1
-- renamed init-script to overwrite CM7's implementation of V3 of this fix
-- now offering "newgpsd" variant - contains gpsd from latest CM7 nightly
-- standard zip: faster locks, but more prone to randomly quitting working
-- newgpsd variant: slower locks, but more resilient GPS indicator [color="red"] still needs testing[/color]
V1.5
-- cleaned up script
-- now keeping LTO data named lto2.dat (used to rename to lto.dat)
-- lowering threshold for lto2 refresh to 3 days
V1.4 (all variants)
-- replaced lto.dat with lto2.dat - preliminary testing indicates survival after reboot and better TTFF
-- now using us.pool.ntp.org for the time server - if you're not in the US, please adjust your gps.conf accordingly
-- gps.conf tweaks - trading accuracy for TTFF for now..
V1.3.1 (all variants)
--set permissions on downloaded lto.dat to 755 (was 644) - i couldn't get
any birds in view before, now i can lock. give this a try if 1.3 doesn't work.
V1.3 (all variants)
--removed agpsd
--added 90getgps_lto - will fetch latest long term orbit data on boot
--hopefully these changes help get REPEAT locks faster - please let us know!
V1.2CWM-nogpsd
--same as V1.2CWM, but with no gpsd. This way you can use gpsd from
the latest CM7 nightlies, or whatever nightly gpsd worked best for you.
I will start collecting gpsd files and posting them for your convenience soon!
V1.2CWM
--created CWM flashable for your convenience! performs the EXACT SAME
as the script, so if you've already run V1.2, no need to flash V1.2CWM.
But, it could be useful if you tend to flash nightlies all the time.
V1.2
--changed all file permissions to 0755 - not sure how reading .conf files
worked if there wasn't any read permission. gets me a faster lock after
applying the script.
V1.1
--fixed typo - "chmod shell" should have been "chgrp"
--removed \t, \n - was not being interpreted by shell correctly
V1
--initial releasesu
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 0755 /data/gps/secgps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/etc/gps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/bin/agpsd
