I use mount / system app from the market and terminal emulator.

Run the app and mount system as read write ( rw ). Then in the terminal emulator, type su. Now just

cp gps.shadow.so /system/lib/hw
chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/gps.shadow.so

Rerun the mount app and mount back to read only ( ro ) and reboot.

Worked for me. Launched Google maps and in about 4 seconds, it had my location.
 
This fixed satellite gps.


But... network location does not work. Is there anyother lib for that?

Also how do you calibrate the compass, or do we need a driver for that too?

I have not had any problems with my network location at all. What baseband are you on .12 or .07? I am on .07 using the Monster zip twice to get there.
 
You can calibrate your compass with any compass app from market. I typed compass and used the first app that showed up.

.07. I flashed the monster.zip second time this morning.

After "calibrating". Compass isn't reliably pointing north... sometimes it seems off by 45degrees or so.

The first compass app was compass from catch.com and is also uses coarse (network) gps. It could never find my signal.

There are a few camera apps that are working along with a video recording app.

Gotcha. Which camera apps?

Also, did you sbf back to froyo or use the file from TBH. If CM7 gets the GPS fix in it Im willing to flash and use a camera app for now.

Thanks man. Just want to give this ROM the best chance to run at its best. :)

Camera Illusion, I installed the monster.zip rather than SBF back to Froyo.
 
does camera illusion have zoom, focus, and basic features? i was using fastburst and i got a couple decent pics trying it out, but for the most part it wasn't really an option.
 
Just be aware that even with a GPS and camera fix, this ROM is still in beta and has issues. The next biggest issue is probably the battery use issue. Most users have experienced higher than normal cell standby usage that causes the battery to be used up much quicker than normal, even if the phone is not being used.
 
Worked like a charm. You guys having. Trouble make sure you get the permissions right. Used root explorer. GPS fixed now camera btw the camera issues.
