I've got used to my T-Mobile UK ROM 1.06, with album, PDF viewer, etc. I'm looking at the new ROMs and see i-mate, Qtek, but not T-Mobile. Which ExtROMs/patches would I pick up to make up for the 1.06.160 T-Mobile stuff?

In fact, I only need to improve my BT connectivity with the Motorola HS850 headset. I've went ahead and upgraded to Radio 1.13 and BT 3900. There's still static/disconnects. I wonder, would BT connectivity benefit in any way from upgrading the ROM to 1.40?

A few questions while on this -- GetDeviceData.exe is not working for me, no output in \Windows. I also wanted to backup ROM on SD card, as mentioned here, but bootloader doesn't give me a USB device option... And what size SD do I need -- is it to be overwritten completely, or the stuff already on it is preserved?

I think it's for the best that it didn't go through right away, as I need to evaluate necessity of all this. Living for hard resets is tough. I wonder if there's a wiki on preserving everything in a most reliable way, and setting it back up automagically.

If you're only after BT quality, then stay as you are. 3900 is the 'best of a bad bunch' available at the moment.

Which particular 1.40 ROM/ExtROM(s) do folks use for T-Mobile UK MDA III? (T-MOB005 carrier, originally 1.06 ROM/1.06.160 ExtROM...)
