Root Getting GPS working on HACK3DAO5P/ TH3ORY ROM?

I love this ROM and it's been good to me so far. The only thing it doesn't want to do is GPS - it won't get a lock under any circumstances. I've tried GPS status to kick start it, but that doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions as to what might help or am I just going to have to switch over to another ROM to get some GPS love and service? :(
 
Have you tried the Sense ROM trick?

If you haven't..

Make a backup of Theory
Full Wipe
Flash Sense ROM
Get a lock in Google Maps
Boot to recovery, full wipe
Restore Theory
GPS should work fine from there on out.

It sounds asinine, but it really works. I had to do it myself and I haven't had a GPS issue since

I'm very new to this, what does "getting a lock in google maps" mean? Sorry for sounding so mediocre. :/
 
There is an issue with GPS on AOSP roms, this fix was found by someone where you can get a fix once on a Sense rom then restore a backup of an AOSP rom and it fixes the GPS. Sometimes it seems like it will quit working (after a new rom flash) and you have to do the fix again.
