Every android OS smartphone has a GPS system, which is actually working and you should have no problems with it, that's for sure, but you can speed up your GPS system. It will update your location even faster, like 5-10 seconds. This tutorial will not just speed up your smartphone, it will also gain you strong signal when it's cloudy or light raining.
Requirements
Rooted Phone
*Before you start, notice that this tutorial is only for Android OS phones. Any smartphone who has Android OS.
Tutorial
Access Poll.NTP Site from www.pool.ntp.org/en/
In the right side of the site, you have a category called Active Servers.
Choose your continent. For exemple, i will choose Romania (Europe).
Click on your country name and will redirect you to a new page.
The new page, will give you the pools for your zone.
Now, create a new file on your PC. Let's say GPS.txt
Copy this GPS config in your notepad.

##### AGPS server settings #####

# FOR SUPL SUPPORT, set the following
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425
SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275
SUPL_TLS_HOST=FQDN
SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert
# FOR C2K PDE SUPPORT, set the following
C2K_HOST=c2k.pde.com
C2K_PORT=1234
NTP_SERVER=country.pool.ntp.org
You should edit this one with, the pool if your country. In my case is: ro.pool.ntp.org. So this code will look like this:
NTP_SERVER=ro.pool.ntp.org
Now, let's take the other lines. After you click on your country it will give you a few pools.
So the next 3 lines will be replaced with the new pools.
After you replace the lines with respective codes from your region, save the file as: gps.conf
Copy & overwrite the file in /etc/gps.conf and reboot your phone.
So, in the final, my gps.conf(Romania) file will look like:
