The first step is to send us a capture of the raw data from the GPS.

If gpsd is already connected, and on the correct port speed, then
a simple way to capture the raw data is:

        gpspipe -R -x 60 > sirfstarv.raw

Then send us that file.

Much more traditional to cross-compile for Android.

Be sure to tell us how it goes.  Send patches.
