So got AOKP back up and running (thanks Epix4g), but still having issues:
1) re-flashed CM7, booted, got a lock on GPS, booted to recovery w/o turning off GPS, flashed AOKP, but still no GPS. I cannot figure this out. Unless I don't know what "lock" on GPS means: I'm just loading GPS Status app, then getting like 10/10 satellites, accuracy like 6m... that's a lock, right? Any help getting GPS working is appreciated!
2) I flashed gapps, but they didn't take. No google apps here. Not sure what that's about. Is it safe to re-flash gapps through AOKP's stock recovery?
3) I tried to rename emmc and move to /sdcard/external_sd, but I ran out of space. So it was definitely trying to copy everything over, not just do a symlink. So not sure how to get that all sorted.
