Found this over at the XDA forums before and didn't think anything of it, and then this morning I decided I wanted to give a try to see if it actually works.
Well, it does!
1. Download the GPS.zip from the first post, and then move it to the root of your SD card.
2. Boot into CWM and choose "install zip from sdcard"
3. Select "choose zip from sdcard" then scroll down to select the zip, install
4. Reboot
5. Using Root Explorer (or whatever you prefer) navigate to .apk on your SD card (should be /sdcard/gps.zip/system/app/gpssetup.apk) and move the .apk to your /system/app folder to overwrite the older version
6. Boot back into CWM to fix permissions (advanced/fix permissions) and once that finishes, reboot and try out your new GPS!
Reading over the thread, results seemed mixed, but the majority of people who tried it out had great results. As it is right now I am getting an instant lock on 9 of 11 sats, but I'm going to turn off GPS and try again in the morning to confirm on a cold start.
Hope this helps others like it did me!
(Thanks to adrynalyne and all others who made this and other developments possible!)
