Official Telus Diamond Thread

[O'Neil Mitchell]

Can someone please confirm for me, before i go out and by this phone. I currently have a HTC Touch with custom GPS/REV-A ROM from Ghettofreeryder. I use Live search for my GPS needs. I heard that Telus has some how, made the program that will work with the Diamond's GPS, is their Telus Navigator. Is this true and is there any way around it. As well does the Diamond need programs like TCPMP to stream vids, or does it do it all one its own. Thanks for your help

I use live Search and Google Maps with my Diamond and have been using them since I unboxed the phone without any hacks. That being said, alot of people can't get their GPS to work out of the box.

Those functions are really important to me so they just have to work. Has anyone else not been able to get a third party GPS program running on the diamond. I do not want to pay for Telus Nav. Ghettofreeryder, will your new ROM give us that option, im sure it will

I don't think we've found the secret yet.... still looking...

[ghettofreeryder]

um, google maps and live search work in the diamond with the hacks, atleast for me it does

They work for alot of people, but some still can't get a lock if their lives depend on it. Mine locked on in google maps right away out of the box.....

Once we've added custom cities to the weather tab, can we then uninstall the weather editor?
