A few 'noob' questions...

[spkr4thdd]

OK, I'm waiting on my XDA IIs (Blue Angel) arriving tomorrow and have a few questions before I dive right in!

(Before I go any further please note that I have spent the last few days delving into the forum and wiki on this site but just need some clarification.)

1. Can I rebrand an O2 XDA IIs to Vodafone VPx/VP 1620 (i.e change ROMs)?

2. If yes, how, and if not can I use all my Vodafone service (GPRS etc) on an O2 braded phone?

3. I have the latest ROM downloaded from O2 just in case mine needs it on arrival, will this enable the pairing to two BT devices (Headset/GPS) or will I need to update the BT stack as per the other 3500/3900 thread?

4. Can I expect any issues with Tomtom 5, or should this work OK if I don't start playing with the ROMs too much!

Thanks in advance for any advice, and I'm looking forward to trying WM5 once I pluck up the courage :)

Moved to BA section from general

1) Your rom has 3 parts (which you know since you read wiki) the branding is in the extrom. You want the phone to act like a BA from a different carrier then use that extrom.

2) By reading 1 and reading cooking in the extrom kitchen on wiki

3) Bt is a mess and part of the CE rom, if you have the latest rom you will have the latest BT Stack. As for pairing well have fun. There is enough info on the site to confuse you.

4) Tom Tom works on a BA as per there site.

Thanks for that... I think :D

So, CE ROM as standard, use Voda ExtROM for their branding, and hope for the best with BT :)

Sound about right?

Better get into the 'kitchen' then, eh!
