So I've searched and searched and haven't found a viable fix. My GPS will absolutely not lock on with this Rom. I've flashed JellyBeans and it immediately gets signal. I had the same issue with CM as well. I'm running baseband MC3 but even tried LL4 with no luck. My buddy has the same phone/Rom and has zero issues. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? Any insight is appreciated at this point. I love this Rom and what it does for this particular phone. I hate restoring another just to use GPS.

I had trouble with a consistent GPS lock on every AOSP rom I tried until following the directions of having a positive lock (I had maps open and could see the lock in notifications) when shutting down TW to flash the new AOSP. I am now running SlimRom with a flawless GPS experience. My first flash of the same rom without a positive lock before the flash and the GPS was very slow to lock. I restored TX from nandroid, then got a lock, shutdown and flashed AOSP again and no problems.Have you tried this?

I haven't. I used to read every thread in the forums back in the G1 and original nexus days but I just don't keep up anymore. So basically I flash a TW ROM, shut down while locked on GPS and then wipe and flash? Could I just restore my ROM that I'm using instead of flashing a new ROM? Thanks for the reply, not having a solid GPS caused me to be late to my daughters gymnastics meet last weekend and her friend threw up in the back seat of my 2013 Mustang GT because she was car sick from all the turning. :-\
