Newbs: cooked rom or cab install? And go back?

[GiGiSSiMo]

Hi all.
I've bought an herald (P4350 in Italy) for my wife. I've registered the product to htc club and i've installed windows mobile 6 in italian.
Now i've read some thread as:

Newbs guide to Herald modification *updated* 10/18/07: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046

and:

All you need on your Wing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655

If i've understood well, the first option means overwrite the OS i've just installed with another one with (impressive) features (as touchflo, cube interface, kayser like apps) preinstalled.
The second means collect some apps and install it (maybe it's possible htc home, even touchflo but certainly not cube's interface).

Well, due to limitation of the second way (cube's interface for example), i'd like to try the modified rom (cooked?), but i've some questions:

1) First of all, is it true that i can have all the functionality of the "Touch-IT,WWE v1.1" or similar cooked rom only by flashing the rom or i can found ALL the functionality by installing some apps?
2a) If 1) is false where can i found ALL the apps for doing the same things as well as in a cooked rom?
2b) If 1) is true, can i flash with Touch-IT rom my italian device with italian WM6 installed?
2bI) If 2b) is true, after trying Touch-IT rom can i reinstall my WM6 italian rom by double-clicking on the file downloaded from htc club? If not is a way to rollback to the original rom?
2bII) If 2b) is false (but also if it's true because i prefer the OS in my language :rolleyes: ), PLEASE Itje make a Touch-IT,IT where the second IT meas ITALY :D

1. While you can have the apps, touch-it is built on a newer, more streamlined version of windows mobile 6.
2a. see 2b
2b. You can flash the WWE. I believe there was some effort to get a native language port, ask itje about that.
2bI. Yes. I believe the HTC club one is an RUU, a "Rom Update Utility". If you mess up in the flashing, you can use it restore from bootloader also
2bII. Again, ask itje.

wow that was confusing. Outlines are like hell on a apple.

fzzyrn thanks a lot for answers.
1. So u think that i can have also cube interface by installing an apps? Wich one?
2b. how can i contact itje for a native language port?
Again, thanks a lot for helping me.

i believe there are like flash-based emulations of the cube. Look in the main software development forum.

To contact Itje, private message him. Click on his name and then it should be obvious to extent
