I've got a SPV M5000 which is SimUnlocked and SuperCID. It's currently running the stock Orange firmware (radio 1.03 and rom 1.30.90). Could someone tell me the best rom (or combination of roms). I'm looking for stability more than speed - the WLAN functionality at the moment is terrible!

Thx

Try the latest O2 ROM. But, delete the ms_.nbf(responsible for extended rom stuff) file before upgrading. It ll upgrade your radio to 1.09 and rom to 1.30.107. WIFI is rock solid on it

Cool - thx. I'll give that one a try. On a related subject, is it best to stick with the Orange extended rom or use a more generic one, like iMate or qtek. When I cold boot with the Orange rom it runs a load of Orange specific fixes etc - I assume these are in the extended rom - but would these apply to the later O2 rom as well - might it not get mixed up?

You should upgrade the O2 rom with the ms_.nbf and then customize it.
Remove some of the cabs, and voila you have a free rom .

I would not recommend using the orange extrom, since it is for the orange rom.

If you take a quick glance at the extended rom of O2, there is nothing spl that O2 installs(other than its bloatware). There is no significant software too(unlike imate ROMs which have clearvue PDF and stuff).

So, my suggestion is to unlock the extented rom and use the 10mb for installing useful apps :)

Thats probably one of the best things to do with it. But:

One or two cabs are really needed: 1 for Voicetags, 1 for MP3 Ringtones, and so on. So you should select wisely.

Use the file 'MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe' instead of 'ROMUpgradeUt.exe' to upgrade the rom,radio and ext_rom
