nope. using Virtuous Fusion.
Gps will never be exact. Its usually off by a few feet. But gps on fusion is great. Used it when I was running the rom and it was really on point. Wasn't off by much. Just off by a few feet

Well gps is always more reliable on the stock rom, so it might be your issue. There's trade offs to using custom roms.

Works perfectly on CM7 nightlies. Locks on instantly and accurately.
After 2 weeks of trial and error this is what finally worked for me.
Download GPS status from the market.
Activate GPS status and see if it gets a lock.
When locked hit the menu button-tools-manage a gps status-then click reset.
Immediately reboot
Open maps -turn on gps and WIFI
That's what worked for me. If I don't have wifi active in the pull down tab my location shows about a mile off, when I activate WIFI i am locked dead center.
There are two other fixes I found at "I can't post links so I spaced out this site" teamroyal net /gps.html but I did not need to use them as this worked for me.
If it works can you repost back here as I'm curious what is working and not working for people.

Anyone else having problem's waking up the screen when receiving phone calls? Or default ringtones continuously ringing without pausing? I love the rom,but this can be quite frustrating. On the other hand,cyanogenmod has been flawless for me.
I don't know exactly which ROM you're running, but I have the DZ running the stock Sense ROM, and I don't have those issues.
Sorry,yeah I 4 got 2 mention It's the virtuous Rom.

Sorry to hear that, I'm runnung the same ROM, no complaints so far, if in doubt you could always do a fresh install
Try using the pershoot kernel thats what i did and now the problem is gone =)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Others using the same rom have experienced the same thing. Some believe its because of set CPU setting for screen off or the kernal. Check out the roms thread and search it. You'll find some tips that have helped others contain the problem.

All is well.
I actually ended up flashing the pershoot kernel and it worked like a charm. No problems since(sense). Thx 2 every 1 for their suggestion's.
I can't get it to work, no matter what. I've tried the MSL fix, etc etc. The closes fix I get is about 7~10 blocks away.
Why is it that it won't work in CM7, but works PERFECTLY out of the box in Salvage-Mod?
Try the app "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the market. That got GPS working for me.

Have you tried the nightly that came out after cm7 final? Downloading gps status and clearing gps data might help.

Nightly tonight should have it fixed, I think. I think they're implementing the gps drivers from the dump yesterday.

The open source drivers provided by Qualcomm don't work.
The proprietary drivers were used in CM6, too.
I did the MSL fix to get my GPS working, but ever since then the "active" icon shows in the status bar even when I stop using navigation or maps. I actually think the gps stays active because I experience severe battery drain. Even when I disable the gps the icon stays active. I have to manually reboot for it to finally go away. Grr.
enter the ##gpsclrx# your phone reboots, while still in sense lock your GPS using navigation once it locks on reboot recovery and flash cm7. That's what I was told and it works 100% of the time for me.

The MSL/Sense ROM trick worked for me. I got my instructions from the Android section of Reddit.

Add me onto the msl trick too, gps works fine for me on cm7, I also flashed the latest nightly.

Get "GPS Status & toolbolx" from market and either way go to tools, manage a-gps, hit reset, this will make the icon disappear and it will clear the gps data and get a better lock.

Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4118513# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

___________________________________________
just curious, what do you mean by a complete lock (more notably it taking a few minutes)? i've never had a gps lock take longer than a few seconds while i'm outside. it might be off by a few blocks, but it always locks really quickly (it was really bad while i was in LA last week).
it should also be noted that i have an incredible, not an evo...but after my gps issues last week while on vacation in california (and using my phone a lot for navigation) i've begun the search for a solution, because i really love CM7 otherwise. while in downtown LA i was consistently getting a "lock" that was a few blocks away from where i was, making navigation useless. it also happened a few times on the 60 freeway on the way into the city, where the phone thought i had gotten off the freeway and would start telling me to turn all over the place even though i was still driving along at 70mph on the freeway...
I saw a few people posting this in the cm7 thread. Looks like it's working great for them on the EVO too.

Yea I love this ROM but I guess its not compatible with Ripple Lock Screen yet or something.When I use it my screen takes like 6 seconds to unlock, really strange as this was not happening with 2.2.1.
Other than that, PERFECT

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

What do you guys like about this ROM over CM7?
CM7 froze in the middle of the night, then I missed my alarm, so I need to try something else.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Agree 100% with what you said about the "bloat".
Good to know. .... I use oxy and one other rom , but lately oxy has been my daily driver due to the sheer speed. Battery life isn't as good but I have my phone oc'd to 1.3.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO
The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.

any one experience "system not responding" seems like my phone locking up more and more lately using the kernel that the rom comes with using stock launcher other than that everything is good
Anyone have an issue with BLN not working?
It worked once, and that was that.

Before you send it back, have you tried any other ROMS or even better try blur ROMS to see if your phone or the neutrino is the issue?

So the darkside blur ROM didn't work. Hmmmm. I'd say give the totally stock ROM wet dream a try and see if that works but other than that look at the ATRIX stickies for all the info about stock stuff there.

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow or this weekend as i'm off.
but I figured (and hope) it fails to work in stock ATT factory settings like how it came to me on day one, so ATT will replace it.
if my phone just doesn't like working the gps with roms, that'll really suck.
I did look at the sticky, but didn't see anything about locking it back and unrooting

CM7 broke my GPS. I figured out though if you download GPS Status in the Android market and go to tools than Magellan GPS state it will lock on your coordinates. Than just open the GPS program of your choice. Hope it works for you.

Go to tools and megallan gps? I dont see anything like that in gps status settings.
It doesnt work with the 2 roms that I tried. If it does its very poor.
So any suggestions on reverting back to bone stock?
