The only thing the ROM's added is first, unlocking of the standalone GPS, and second, utilizing the already existing aGPS connection.
Agreed. Schap's Advanced Configuration has the ability to enable or disbale aGPS. The nice thing about it is that if you loose a gps satellite momentarily, the 'a' will kick in for a few seconds until you get a lock again.
