Newwbie questions

[savo]

Hello,

I have just purchased a second hand spv c600 and have been playing about for a few days with it but now have a few questions.

Upgrading - I have WM5 (5.1.195) installed is it worth updating to WM6 ? What benefits are there and what can i expect to stop working, will the same apps and games work for both versions? Also i have only temporary installed windows so i could unlock the device so will it play any better or worse in linux after upgrade?

What to search for - What should i search for when looking for games and apps etc that will work with this device? Should i search spv c600 tornado or wm5 etc

Unlocking - I am not able to run regedit (or the regeditSTG2) but i have been able to install and run other apps like doom and tomtom. Do i need to worry about not being able to use regedit?

SimCity - Is there a version that will work with this device i have found simcity 2000 but it doesnt install.

SatNav - Which is best? I live in the UK so which runs best and which has most uptodate uk maps etc.

I am sure there are more but i cant think now.

Thanks to anyone who can help with any of these questions

1) Upgrading - I have WM5 (5.1.195) installed is it worth updating to WM6 ?

yes it is, WM6 works faster than WM5

2) What to search for .....

search for wm5

3) Unlocking...

Not sure what was the problem, but if you need to edit registry, install total commander, it can edit registry.

cant help you with other two.

I personally have tried only two:

by Nitrogenious
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365023

and, the one I am currently using

by Kamikadze
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455950

note that Kamikadze's ROM is intented for touchscreen devices. I own qtek 8310, which does not have a touchscreen, but I have installed additional software (spb shell) which has made using this OS very easy. One thing is for sure, there is no other OS that looks better than this one. Maybe you should try first some of the regular WM6 OSs, and then after you get familiar with them, try kamikadze's to see if you will like it.

Well i decided to give it Nitrogenious ago and i didn't half make me panic when the phone rebooted to the bootloader after the format binfs and then wouldn't sync and the update wouldn't work. Luckily I just needed to change usb ports should be done any minute now.

Thanks again
