Do these ROMs fix current issues?

Specifically I am considering rooting and flashing the latest BAMF with Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread. However, before going to all the work and risk I want to see if any of the issues I am seeing are addressed by these ROMs. These issues include:

1) GPS location lock slow and GPS goes to sleep (manifested in location based functionality not reflecting my real location).

2) LTE similarly goes to sleep on occasion, requiring a restart to get it running again.

3) Random (but rare) reboots.
 
That all has more to do with the radio I think. MR2 and MR2.5 radios are good stuff. You can get the MR2 radio without rooting, although I think everyone should root.

I just got instant lock the 2 times I tested GPS this morning. I don't use it that much, so can't give you good feedback. I have waited a couple minutes before, but that was on an older radio. GPS location is not perfect, but I do feel I get closer results now. Even when it's off a bit if I try a couple times it will pinpoints me better than I remember in the past.

I don't have any 3/4g issues anymore. It's been forever since I've seen 1x or anything like that. Can't you just put it in airplane mode, or better yet, turn mobile data off and on rather than reboot, or does that not work?

It's literally been weeks since I've had a random reboot.

I flashed GingerRemix 2.1 with the new MR2.5 radio, and I couldn't be happier... My GPS lock immediately. I have had ZERO reboots. I cant really comment on bamf 3.0 because I don't like the Rosie bar at all... looks to much like sense to me and I hate sense... I prefer AOSP roms but there arent many out there that run GB radios... sorry about the LTE issues you having good luck
 
I got the phone and immediately installed the MR2 leak after I rooted. My GPS is good with no issues. I'm always on LTE, rarely do I see 3G. I don't have any reboots. I've seen maybe one reboot when I was playing a game so who knows what caused it. I recommend the MR2 update.

this.
i have maybe one reboot a week, but our 4g is coming online shortly and blinks on now and then. I think that is what is causing the reboots.
Im running 2.1 remix with the 2.5 radio until we get a stable cm7 probably.
