Open shr settings (one of the icons) and make sure gps is on there. I don't need any sys/class stuff to use the gps with SHR. SHR image of dec.16 should be ok, one of the earlier ones had gps not working. Also, not all "alternative" kernels have working gps. Go outside, get away from tall buildings. Start tangogps, stand still. It may take 2 minutes to get a fix with some bad luck. Moving around makes this worse. Tall buildings make this worse. Starting tangogps indoors and then going outside may take more time. So if you look at the map indoors, restart tangogps when you get outside. The gps may or may not work indoors - if you come in from outside. Don't expect the gps to start up indoors though. don't expect gps to work at all in a building with several floors above you. Gps units generally need a stronger signal to start up, then they can follow weaker signals in less than ideal areas. But it won't start up in "bad" places.
