Recommended ROM for us Canucks?

[ThaiM]

I know there are some ROMs out there optimized for AT&T, etc. What do you guys recommend for us Canadians using Rogers? Anyone else on here on the Rogers network? And what ROM are you using? I also need BBConnect to be functional too. I'm so undecided on which to use... I'm still on WM5 at the moment. Thanks.

I use Black Majik (bbconnect version) with Radio 1.43 on Rogers with no problems.

Hi.

I live in Austin. I have both ROGERS and T-mobile. I use, on my TyTN, Elf Mobile 6 Edition. I just switch out the SIM cards. When I visited Vancouver in March, it worked great (I am not Canadian but I have a Canadian number since I normally spend 3 to 6 months a year in Vancouver).

Custel also works well.

Yes, I'm using Elf 2.1 as well, in Toronto. So far so good :)

Try them all.
Use the one that fit your needs best!!!
If you are undecided, then you are not ready and I would suggest that you do not bother.
In any case, make sure your pda is CID and provider unlocked. Good Luck when you are ready to jump in!

i am a noob so don't flame me for asking this but how do you know which radio version you are using

[Sleuth255]

Start->Settings->System Tab->Device Information.

I'm currently using Sleuth's v3.1 Crackberry ROM and am extremely happy with it!

Lurch has created a cab file with all of the Rogers settings in it which you can run after flashing your ROM.

fast, reliable, best combination of ROM and Radio yet.

Started with the official AT&T 2.15 radio 1.40.30 (WM5... yuck)
Tried a couple of versions of Black, got bored with the number of resets and the number of programs that it didnt like. Very slick look, but very experimental.
The elf did a great job for a while
LVSW was my choice till the official AT&T WM6 ROM came out and VP3G put it on a diet and killed off all that useless junk.

It finally works the way I expect it to, the first Windows Mobile (CE) device I have ever owned that does so.

One trick.... I have consistently noticed that, with all my various Windows Mobile devices I have owned, the stability is better with less junk on the today screen. I now run just the date, Live Search and Pocket Informant plug-ins.
Also, dont forget to do the activesync fake server fix and kill off the nasty activesync whenever it starts up unwanted.

Radio Change:
Droped calls with the 1.48 radio and it wouldnt find service for over 5 minutes. I've just flashed to the 1.43 radio and will report
