Hi everybody!
Since the "old" times with my beloved Himalaya, I've gone through Magician, Meteor, Universal, S200, TyTn, and actually back to a Vodafone branded Prophet.
It used to be "easy" to get the concepts of ROM, Radio and EXT Rom components, and how they interact. I cooked my own ext ROM thanks to Istme, Buzz, and the rest of the bunch. Not any more! ROM, AKU, G3/G4 chips, EXT ROM_2, and some more concepts add to the confusion, making hard to made up your mind about what to use, and if this is going to work as expected.
I think a brief description of what every component does would be helpful in the process of upgrading things and/or making minor changes.
Where resides the ability to change ROM language?
What does RADIO upgrades?
Are there more than one EXT_ROM?
Whow does the Hard reset process occur?
AKU changing is language dependant?
I think we can use this thread as a brief concept repository that might help those in the mid-way from novices to experts, os as in my case, with too many device changing as to be acquinted with everyone of them.
:-)
