Help Network location / coarse location issues - FIXED!

Just got my Charge last Friday; already rooted and installed gummycharged. Loving the phone so far except for one or two issues. The biggest one is that network-based location no longer works. The option in the settings menu but it still automatically requests GPS. My Eris would give me an estimated location based on the cell tower, and I'd really prefer to be able to use network position with Tasker instead of requiring GPS. There's also the issue of the stupid GPS warning window that pops up every time GPS gets enabled.

Anyone have possible slutions? Thanks!

EDIT: See last post for solution
 
I should also add that the specific message coming up is "Please enable a My Location source in system settings" even though I do have the option checked.
 
And another update... replaced the networklocation.apk file with one from another build; still no luck. Yet, using the NetWork Location app gives me a good lat/long fix. So why won't tasker, maps, etc. recognize that the network is giving a valid location?
 
I have now tried un- and re-rooting. Different roms. No joy. One last test is using networklocation.apk from the stock ee4 build. It's rebooting now; will post if successful.

No luck with this approach either. I'm about ready to give up, and maybe wait for the next build...
 
Well, after a user over at xda informed me that I had the wrong location box checked (you need the Google one checked, not the Verizon one!) I reinstalled the "stock" gummycharged, and it works. I get my network-based location now.
