Dead GPS after installing new ROM - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've installed this ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778596 ), it was update from stock ROM & my GPS seems not working good (at all?). I mean, navigation apps see that GPS is turned on, but any of it can't find any satellite.
Please help

Defy CM7 RC1.5 GPS Problem

Hi There
I've been using CM7 RC1.5 for at least a week. Everything works smoothly, much better than the crappy stock ROM does, except for the GPS.
Whenever I try to locate myself with Google Maps by GPS, the GPS fails to locate. The GPS is fully functional with the stock ROM and I have no idea what the problem really is.
I haven't tried RC1.5 yet, but I was having the same problem with CM7 RC1. I tried everything and couldn't get the GPS to work. Finally I flashed a nightly build of CM7 (8/17) and it started working again. I would start there and see if you can't reverse engineer the problem.
Use this fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
Flash it in custom recovery
Basically all it does is edit /etc/gps.conf to include time servers for your region from here http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
Thanks
The issue has been fixed
a similar problem with the GPS was not fixed pravarth's link
i flashed CM 7.1.0 stable and the device just doesn't get my location using the GPS.
Apps like GPS Status and GPS Test plus give no results on GPS satellites found .
Any ideas ?
PS : it's defiantly a ROM problem. On Miui, GPS tracking was working. The only difference was that on MIUI, GPS apps will often reboot my phone.
Thanks.
GPS problem is fixed in my case after choosing my region from the Baseband Switcher.
Now i get some results in GPS status.
Orange Romania worked for me after choosing Central Europe, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Arabia, France, nordic 3.4.x, UK 4.5.1-85
My GPS problem is persisting.
I`m using CM7 RC 1.5, applied the patch for my country, changed the baseband still no luck.. .
If someone can help me, i`ll appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
Edit: I`v solved my problem using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18777808&postcount=1150

Compass sensors and gps are different things. Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
I believe the gps chip is behind the flash module, give that a firm press to make sure it has not worked loose.
when I installed the 22.3.0 rom like pacman the gps use entirely normal, until I installed the new 2.3.0 rom viper encounter such problems gps
. I can not post in development areas viper rom so I post here to ask for help

The GPS is working, the problem is with compass.
I have same issue with Viper but it works with other roms (i.e Revolution, PacMan or stock RUU). Maps navigation works fine but I cannot use Street view (or Ingress) compass mode or download a Compass app from google play (no longer compatible with my device).
There are some posts about that but I didn't find the solution or a workaround:

GPS doesn't work on cyanogenmod 12.1

Hello. I installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 official version and, unfortunately, GPS does not work at all . I tried various programs such as Automap, Sygic but in general there was no GPS signal ..
What should I do? I really like CyanogenMod (it's fast, it has a nice interface) and I do not want to go back to KitKat. I have to have a navigation in my job.
have you tried keeping data on while you're at it?
