Samsung Galaxy S2 uses GSD4t GPS chipset, which does not use regular SiRF binary protocol, but some new variant, which is not yet supported by gpsd (as of 2014-06-22 gpsd v.3.10+dev3~d6b65b48-1)

The aim of this project is to create helpful scripts and instructions to help reverse engineer the new protocol, and make a converter to regular SiRF binary protocol (or NMEA).

As of 2015-01-05, much of the data has been reverse engineered, and it seems that the hardware is really dumb; so all processing (downloading ephemeris, calculation pseudoranges, solving GPS location etc.) would have to be done completely in software.
