TomTom Navigation Software on Self-cooked ROM

[xylose]

Hello,

i'm a new xda Orbit 2 (Touch Cruise) owner from germany, and i have a question concerning those self-cooked ROMs you can read about everywhere in this forum. I don't know wether this question is so smart, but anyway: is it possible to flash my orbit2 (which came bundled with TomTom Navigator Software) with another ROM from this forum? Because the cab files for TomTom are in the extended ROM as far as i know. Is it possible to install the TomTom Software manually afterwards, or are there actual ROMs which contain the software? If this is the case, can you give me some hints about which ROM is the best to give a try? Excuse my grammar/spelling issues, and many thanks for answers.

Greetings

If there is no TomTom.cab in the cooked rom, you can install TomTom from the CD in your Orbit 2 package.

But think about the possible warranty loss, if you are not able to install an official rom back and have to sent the device to O2 for repair.

Best regards

Are you sure the XDA Orbit 2 from O2 came with TomTom? - mine had Co-Pilot Live 7 installed which is a different GPS navigation package all together (and a very capable one IMHO).
If you want to install other GPS related navigation software simply purchase it and install it, it doesn't need to be part of the ROM installation in order to work - forget about flashing the phone with a new ROM unless you really need to - Mike

thank you for your answers, it is indeed TomTom that came with my package, o2 UK and o2 Germany are selling different devices as it seems (or different software). I will consider not to flash my Orbit, it is running very well now.
