Hey guys,
I'm considering switching from iPhone to a LG Optimus 7 but the offline GPS is very important to me. I've read that currently Navigon is the only solution, but only available for carriers in Germany.
Is it possible to install this on other phones too? Specifically the Optimus 7.. And do the European maps ported from the iPhone app work?
And one last question: is there any kind of 'hacking' involved with this? I'm buying a simlock free phone, but do I also need to jailbreak it (or the equivalent of jailbreaking for WP7)?
Any ideas?
As far as I know, navigon will be officially in the market after the mango update, but I think that this is where you're looking for

Garmin Mobile XT not support the Android platform.
I thought the garmin phones were android??
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
The Garminfone (aka: Nuvifone A50) is Android.
The M10 & M20 are WM. The G60 is Linux based.
No one has ripped the mapping out of the phone yet.
I have my Garminfone 1/2 rooted. I can assaure you the maps are locked to the IMEI of the phone. I've already located my own map unlock code hidden on the phone.

How about just extracting the Garmin app, not the maps (I already have the Garmin map, but no app to read it on Android) ?
Also, what's the location where the maps are stored? I already have my maps, so I want to put them in that location to be read? Pls apologyze for noob questions
hmm..most of us are waiting for the garmin to be ported into our android devices..i think what we should do right now is patient.i also already have the keygen generator that i`ve used since i`m using symbian n winmo phone..the question is are the keygen could be use or not..and it is also for the map that u`re talking about...
The maps in a Garminfone A50 are in the .System directory (it is hidden) the A50 and the US spec Garminfone can read any Garmin maps so far, and work fine with lifetime updates, kg apps and the like!
I just wish Garmin would have made the Garminfone a little more robust, like waterproof, faster, and with better battery life. it is neat, but wont replace my NUVI 550.
The HTC Titan has made my ears prick up a little. Its a pity it isnt a dual core cpu or a higher resolution.
Does WP7.5 support wifi-tethering?
Can you get custom keyboards, for example Swype?
Are there any (decent) free sat-nav apps out there? Google Navigation on Android is great but you need a data connection. I use Co-Pilot, especially when I go on holiday. Tom Tom was the best IMO on WM6.5.
I'm a big fan of 'free' apps, maybe someone could PM me more information on this topic
I'm sure I will have more questions! But I'm definitely interested in the Titan!

Mango should do but you have to change something at
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing
Can you get custom keyboards, for example Swype?
No not realy just an app wich can write and where you can copy the text but yuo cant change the microsoft keyboard
Are there any (decent) free sat-nav apps out there?
No but Navigon is now aviable for Unlocked Devices.
And will be aviable soon with this prices:
NAVIGON for Europe: $119 - NAVIGON for the US: $49.99

Yes, Windows Phone 7.5 has WiFi Hotspot. Your carrier must enable tethering though.

"Turn by Turn Navigation" is $4.99 and is quite decent. If you want offline navigation, you'll have to buy Navigon (no exception).
WiFi hotspot is available on new unbranded models by default. On branded handsets if carrier enables it. On older upgraded devices no, until HTC updates this function at later stage according to their press release. That info only applies to HTC devices. I'm sure that the titans rom once out can be flashed to hd7 etc.

Good morning at all
I'm a new android user coming from Iphone world.
I bought a LG thrill in US, but I'm in Italy and I would like to reinstall android into my phone because it has the AT&T default settings.
may my question is too simple for you, but, how can I do it?
is there a link to download the new version of android for my phone?

I "re-animated" my HTC 7 Pro by replacing the digitizer and upgrading the internal memory.
It worked and the phone is just great with its keyboard.
After my HTC 7 Pro broke some months ago, I bought a Lumia 800. Great phone but I miss the keyboard, that's why I tried now to repair the old HTC 7 Pro.
What I really like with my Lumia is the NOKIA drive - just perfect, but the phone has only a poor battery life when doing the traffic navigation.
The HTC 7 Pro has a better battery, that's why I would like to use if for traffic navigation.
Is there any way to install NOKIA drive on a HTC 7 Pro?
It is a standard (Swiss) HTC 7 Pro, unlocked (all sim cards work) and it has all HTC updates.
Do I need to root the phone? How does this work?
I would like to keep the operating system like it is (it works great) - thus, is there any chance to convince the phone to install the NOKIA drive app?
I am a nweby with all this flashing/rooting/... stuff. Any information, background knowledge, guide (for the HTC 7 Pro) would be really great!
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Peter
Using dev-unlock, you could install the Nokia Marketplace XAP (see my signature) but the Nokia Drive app, although you could install it, would refuse to run on your non-Nokia phone. With full-unlock (i.e. custom ROM) you could either trick it into running (I don't know if this is safe, but it's possible) or install a modified version of the app (which is technically illegal in much of the world but pretty common), though.

i dont get it, it must be because i m a newb. i read news saying nokia drive is now opened to other windows phone 7. i just downloaded the nokia drive 3.0.0.0.xap (although no idea yet what to do with it .
i also read that availability on windows phone will depend on phone maker decision.
could you please be more specific about "tricking it into running", or how to get and obtain a modified version of the app?
i m very surprised that i did not find more threads about installing this very good app on our pro 7

Hello to all!
I own an HTC hd7s from at&t running wp7.5. The only tweak I've done to this phone is the sd card upgrade to 32gb. Everything else is factory stock.
My question is does anyone knows if at&t will be releasing the 7.8 update for this device? I would like to keep it legit....
But if no plans are out there for updates for this device I'll be more than willing to hack away this phone.
So in my willingness to hack the hd7s, are there any roms being cooked for this device to upgrade to 7.8 or wp8?

No one knows the plans of ATT man. I myself don't think there will be anything for us officially (HTC Titan here). But seeing that the 7.8 update was pulled from MS and Nokia's servers (due some issues with 7.8), you might be waiting for an additional amount of time. But like I said, I don't think the update will be officially released for the other phones on ATT. Like always, the other OEMS (Samsung/HTC) haven't pushed the US carriers into giving its users updates.
Some questions from greece!

You can purchase a 32gb micro Sd card for about $20.00 us dollars. The process is very simple. You can find videos on YouTube that show you how to do this. Make sure you back up your data
For the rest of your questions.... I don't know...

Why you people want to screw your mind with this topic?
Just install Deepshining V8.0 or Dynamics V2.0, they work on the HD7 and the HD7S with no problems...
and get done with this "update issue", when the chefs create a new ROM based on the new update, then it's moment to update the ROM...
Pretty easy...
Thanks faustolg, now question those roms will update to what version of WP?
Sent from my T9295 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
8858 I believe
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
Both are the same ROM version
7.10.8858.136
there are minor ("proprietary") differences, is up to you what ROM you'll keep.
Both are compatible with WP Backup, Windows Phone Device Manager + TouchXperience, but Dynamics is the only one that is Cab Sender compatible...
A few dates ago I found a nice piece of software called "seveneighter" it automates the WP 7.8 update. And viola! 45 minutes later my HTC hd7s is now WP 7.8!
