This version is working pretty well on my P500 (with CM7.1)
Just noticed some minor issues:
1) Sometimes the graphic on the top that indicates the next turn disappears until Waze is restarted.
2) There is problem with the alerts (police, incidents, etc.) notifications: the navigation looks to hang at the next node found after the alert is showed, to restore the navigation you have to manually close the notification dialog.
About Italian TTS the Italian language looks to be working now, but:
1) There are still some sentences that are English sentences read in Italian, e.g. the alerts notifications
2) Both Italian Male and Italian Female voice are very metallic, as they where encoded with too much compression. Especially the Female voice is hard to listen.
3) Routing indications looks like they are read as portion of the sentence and then the resulting audio files are joined together, the result is a strange emphasis on the phrases and unnatural pauses during the speech.
4) Roman numbers are read as cardinal number and not as ordinal numbers as they should be (at leat in Italian). E.g. "Gregorio XI" is incorrectly pronounced "Gregorio 11" and not "Gregorio undicesimo" (Gregory the 11th) as it should be.
5) When approaching a turn, the TTS read "In 800m, preparati a girare a destra" (In 800m, get ready to turn right). The problem is that "preparati" is read with the wrong accent becoming the past participle instead of the imperative it should be. The easiest fix is probably to change the sentence avoiding that word and using for example "prepararsi" in place of "preparati"
