Hi all,
I have the SPV M700 its getting abit old now. I was wondering which newest Rom I can use.

I've got 1.25.000.TE
With Radio version 1.30.00.01
Rom Date: 02/14/07

My GPS is still slow and I hope I can upgrade it and upgrade windows.

Hi mate,

You could try ADW or NiAx or PDAVIET roms - I've used all three and had good GPS performance. Make sure you upgrade your radio rom too. Your radio rom manages GPS, GSM, WiFi BT etc. and to impact GPS performance you should try different ROM / radio ROM combinations.

IMHO the same radio ROM does not give the same performance with different OS ROMs.

I'm currently using NiAx latest ROM and radio 1.50.08.11 and am hapy with overall and GPS performance (iGo an Tomtom)

If you're looking for a good, stable super lite ROM, I recommend:
Mary v3.7 SL with Radio Version: 1.50.08.11. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369917

I use it with various Spb software (not freeware but well worth buying) including spb mobile shell 2.0 that has a smart scroll feature which I find is far better than TouchFlo. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en

I have had no problems EXCEPT once in a blue moon your device code changes after a soft reset. However, after another soft reset it changes back again, so no problem.

Tomtom works great with it too.

The only competition I see for it is FInixNOver 3.4/3.4Light http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396075
He used Mary's ROM as a base and in doing so has included a fix for the device code change.

Every day I think about changing from Mary to his ROM, but so far I've avoided it as I am so happy with my pda at the moment and worry about a week of nights trying to fix it if something went wrong! He seems to be one of the most respected chefs out there and has a solution for everyone who has an issue. Plus a lot of other clued up people in here have his ROM, which is always a good sign!

A real useful page on all new Roms and Radios is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1951469&postcount=3

Hope this helps, let me know what you end up flashing to!
