Just to start off I have searched and tried many solutions before posting. I have a virgin mobile with hense mod installed. I am having issues with gps. Connot find satalites. The screen rotation and weirdness with camera are also annoying me. The gps thing is a deal breaker though. This is the most stable rom I have tried but, I can't not have my gps. Can anyone please help me. I am a bit of a noob so please use easy instuctions as I am not a developer or programer. Thanks

I also get the strange text. gps problems are worse then just no voice. I do really want voice but, I can't even get satellite connection. screen orientation is annoying can someone help with these issues please?
1/Download the version 1.1 zip directly to your SD card using barcode scanner and QR code, Web Brower, or copy it to your SD from your computer. Whatever you wish.
2/Reboot to Recovery if you are going to install it via recovery and choose install zip from SD card
3/ Choose the zip file and flash it then reboot when done!
4/ Install GPS Status from the market
5/ Run it and watch your GPS actually lock in on some sats and get you a position for a change!
For best results run GPS Status once every day or two to keep your AGPS data fresh and your locks fast.
Consider using a program like Tasker to set up a task that turns on your GPS, run GPS Status, updates your AGPS data, shuts down GPS Status, and turns off your GPS again in the middle of the night. This is what I do and I can get a 10-12 satellite lock in 5 seconds or less.
Optional Adding your Country's servers:
1/ Go to ntp.org and find your country servers
2/ Edit the gps.conf file in your /system/etc directory and replace the Canadian servers with your country's servers and save
3/ Reboot
Once you are rebooted up turn on your GPS and GPS Status. In the AGPS option download new AGPS data. It should fix your position fairly fast although initially the offset might reflect a cellular or data tower fairly far from your location
Be patient. Once it grabs 7 or so sats it will even out and report the accurate position then you should see additional sats lock at this point.
To keep locking fast update your agps data daily.
Enjoy using your nav software, maps, etc.
Thanks to Jikantaru, Modpunk and I am sure many others for all the conf info, tips, and whoever else deserves credits for helping with this solution.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
