Best WM6.1, Radio, Ext Rom To Get???

[IrishLad]

Hi All,
I am trying to source the latest and best Radio, CE ROM, and EXT Rom for my XDA Exec G4 64Mb.

I have updated to a new WM6.1 ROM but yet the O2 Ext ROM remains untouched and auto runs after a reset which crashes the device.
So what is the best way to completly erase the XDA, and what is the best ROM, Radio and EXT Rom available for a G4 64Mb, which is what I think I have details below.

The Flash chip says it is 128MB and the ram 64Mb so is this a G4 64MB as I only have 39Mb free storage???

Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm expecting a fixed 6.1 in the next few days - Snapvue in the Darkforce one was a bit buggy but the rom is fine when it's disabled (just like wm6, but with threaded SMS, nice but not amazing, and a zoom function in IE).

As for the Radio version, I, along with many, prefer 1.17, check out the latest discussion on this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366263

And for the ExtROM? Well, unlocked and empty of course :-)
I took an empty extrom from an old ROM and it works great every time.

Good luck!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I have updated my radio to 1.18 and also unlocked and emptied my ExtROM.

My problem is that after flashing the CE ROM and Radio I am still getting the offical O2 boot screen?

When I empty the ext rom and then reflash shoud I have more free storage available, also from the sepcs I posted above am I right to say I have a G4 64Mb XDA?

You can change your boot splash easy, just read the wiki. there is a section on it.

Hi,
I know you can change the boot screen, my question is more related to why it was not changed after flashing with new rom and radio...?

Also can someone confirm that since I deleted the contents of the ExtROM should that give me more free space for storage when I reflash with a WM6.1 rom?

Flashing a new ROM doesn't necessarily change the bootskin, when you flash an official ROM (e.g. one from T-Mobile say), it'll most likely flash the bootskin.

As for ExtROM, you need to flash an empty one, then run a program on the uni that unlocks and unhides the ExtROM, which will appear as another storage medium in file explorer.
