....update again

Ive settled for the I-mate ROM which works just great, includes the voice dialling app that i mentions, i also installed the HTC ext rom files and works superbly now....no problems to report infact works a tad faster than the HTC rom shipped with it.

TCPMP works fine, still no luck working with the ATI drivers but the audio stuttering (after a pause or skip to alternate part in video) is resolved so i cna now watch a video at my leisure!

Should I just copy over the unzipped contents (cab files) into the extended ROM area or do I manually install the cab files by clicking on them within the Hermes? Thx.

From what ive seen you can do either sir. If you copy the contents into the External ROM directory (once you have unlocked it) you can just run the "autorun.exe" file and it will do the "will customise device in 3 seconds" just like on the first startup of the device.

Not sure if the Autorun.exe file will work if it is not in the external ROM directory so just run each .cab from file explorer....ignore any prompts for a restart and soft reset the device when you have finished.

I am also using the imate firmware and find it better and quicker than the other HTC and Dopod rom, esp when using Tomtom 5.21.

What benefit did you get from installing the cabs from the HTC Rom?

mrvanx: Thanks for the info. Does the Program and storage space increase or decrease with the i-Mate ROM as compared to the HTC ROM? Thx.
