Can someone the following fix for GPS on CM4DX?

Pull gps.shadow.so from any .596 Rom and overwrite the version in /system/lib/hw

GPS seems to work fine with the replaced .so file. I've attached it just in case you guys don't have a Rom to pull from.

Here's the file for those that like to do stuff themselves - gps.shadow.so
Don't forget to change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot (Thanks for the reminder Kev)

Update:
Here's a flashable zip file for those who are as lazy as I am - CMod7 Gps Fix. Please mount system before installing.

Note: It seems like the location service problems are a know issue the recent Cmod builds. If so, I'm confident it'll be taken care of by the time the build goes "stable".

You'll also need to reboot your phone (hold down power, Reeboot, Reeboot). Thanks for the reminder Kev

Edit: Location services still seems broken.

Fantastic, thank you so much! I cross linked to this thread from RootzWiki, hope you don't mind. :D
