Prophet ROM Comparisons

[Sci]

So my new (to me) Prophet arrived today. Damn near mint condition. Quickly unlocked it, and popped in my sim.
G4 too. Pleasant surprise.
Next stage of course is to get the most useful ROM onto it so I can happily bimble about knowing that even at total power loss, I'll still have cool stuff on there when I plug it back in.
I'm glad to see there's a good selection of shipped ROMs available, but there's no info on the differences between them.
I'm not bitching about this. There's a lot of phones to cover, and only so much time people can spare.

So I'm thinking, those who've installed one obviously know what's on it. Just list the ROM, and spew out the details on what it contains. Then later on someone can come through the thread, copy the info, edit it up and dump it on the wiki.

So, what's the spec of the original ROMs? The modded ones? Extensions?

Mine's currently a standard Orange ROM, as far as I'm aware. WM5, (5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)). All default aside from undoing the simlock.
ROM version: 2.10.1.22 WWE
ROM date: 2/16/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.10.1.107
Operator version: 13.10.1.107

I freely admit I don't know much in-depth here yet, but I'm eager to help fill in gaps in the knowledge base if I can. If this sort of direct sugestion is out of line, just let me know.

I think the information required on each would need to be:

OS and other version info
Bundled software
Any special features
Any tweaks (for non-standard ROMs, I should think)


Does that sound about right?

Good question, but I think the flashaholics on here are too busy doing wm6 roms.

I guess you are asking, is it worth trashing the shipped orange rom for the jesterz aku2.2 rom. Probably, but check out on the htc site to see if your m600 is still in warranty as you may void that if you flash with jesterz (don't think there is a way back to orange rom with a G4 - from what I've read).

Anyone else want to chip in?

The variations of rom available seem far better then the overweight Orange version. can't seem to rid my M600 of the Orange start up screen when first booting, but thats the only time I see it....

btw....excellent idea to list available roms, but maybe a little to transient to remain relevant for very long.... additional pics would be good too... :)

Well, I don't really care about the warrenty. I didn't buy it new, and I've probably already invalidated anything by unlocking it.

As for the "jesterz aku2.2" ROM, I wasn't asking about it specificly. Why's it such a good one to go with?
I don't even know what benefits there might be in upgrading to a WM version 6 ROM.
But anyway, there's four basic categories it seems..

I THINK that's correct, because the original ROM list doesn't specify wether the ROMs are WM5 or 6.
The contributed ones though do seem to have good listings for the included software and tweaks though. Just need an easy way to break them down. Maybe into categories? Communications, tools, media, etc, etc..
