I know is says that GPS is not working, but I noticed that the latest XDAndroid drivers have GPS working for DIAM500 and I have it working on my DIAM500 running the old way with haret from external.

Keep in mind your Diamond is GSM and ours is CDMA.

Can you post your files exactly as you have them? I wanna get an updated working Diamond Android working.

Yes but the users over at xda developers confirmed me that it works on CDMA. You may consider the according thread in diamond section. It works!

Just use the latest files and system from the links in the XDA post:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601751

Here's the startup.txt I'm using:

set ramsize 0x0A000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2040
set kernel zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x81.0x393.0x358.0x7D msmvkeyb_toggle=off lcd.density=210 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3"
boot

GPS in Maps and Navigation works great and locks on fast on my Sprint Touch Diamond. But location awareness for certain things doesn't work (like the weather widget for instance) for some reason. I guess it uses a different mechanism.

It's great to see a Diamond specific effort for Android. Hopefully we can get some of the buttons remapped to make use of the center button and make the functions a little more logical. Something like this:

Power button: Sleep (currently Home)
Home button: Home (currently Menu)
Center button: Menu (currently nothing)
End button: Ummm, end current task maybe? (currently Sleep)

yeah I also have the latest version on my diamond from the xda thread, jumping to 2.1 rather than 2.0 made an already unbearable battery life even worse, until the battery issues are straightened out I cant use it for daily use (as my day has 24 hours in it, not 4)

that being said, what are you getting for battery life, I may take a shot with your files and try the overclocking method

thanks for the work though

New build in progress. Will release it later:

GPS works now! Check again later my website to download it if you wanna give it a go

Works on my Sprint CDMA DIAM500. I had to add a "set kernel zImage" line to the "startup.txt" otherwise it just restarted to windows mobile. But it works well-- faster than before now that we can do the ext2 partition. Wifi, GPS works, and 3g after adding the "Internet" APN. Thanks!
Only thing is the battery lasts about 30 seconds. (maybe 3 hours tops)

Nice job... repartitioned Internal Storage and got it running on a DIAM500 CDMA.

The Mic and speaker don't work though... I tried the trick to boot Haret while in a call in WinMo, but when android boots, it says no service and locks up.

Also, I can't change anything in Sound and Display settings - I keep getting a "not responding" error and have to force close on it.

Any suggestions on how to make these work? It's awesome that GPS now works, but unless it can make calls, it's pretty much pointless.
