HARD SPL YOUR DEVICE 1st!!!!!

Do some reading so we won't see your 3rd post with a title like "HELP, bricked Hermes".

Try this - http://www.mrvanx.org/guide/hermes/upgrades/hardspl

and this - http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=28

Its better to know a bit about the risks first than to jump out of a plane then realise you forgot your parachute,,,,,:D

Also,there is a ROM request thread where you can ask for a ROM that has what you want.

Thank's both of you.
I check and I already have hardspl.

I'd suggest you try an M2d rom... M2D has got everything you need in an easy to use UI except fullscreen contacts n works really great if you dont install alot of programs. I saw a nice one with a really nice matching fingerfriendly contacts app too.

[theodhorb]

After I had try some rooms with touch build or M2D, with miscellaneous problems each every one,and especially last night with V15 dark winter G2 when I almost lost my phone,I decide to use CRC-13.3 normal.
To now this room works very good and I think to keep it.Here is device update with good app or programs.
I really wants full screen contacts and I don't know work with these room and where can I find it ?
Regards !

I personally like the CRC roms. They have a lot of room for additional programs, are very stable and fast. They don't come with much so you need to find programs you like and add them. His roms are UC Complaint (a script that will install all the cabs you have specified upon flashing).

For full screen foto for contacts use icaller. It's free. Search for it using the "search using google" feature. Plus the author gives a lot of support. It's also easy.

Opera Mini is free. Check out JZ's Browser which will allow you to use all the browsers you want with ease.

The easiest free weather program is http://tonaya.com/products/wtg/index.php here. It works, doesn't take up much space but doesn't have all the fancy icons either. It does have a today screen plugin. There are others such as SPB, Secil (free and here on this site), which are more graphic intensive and work well.

Google Maps is free. Just go to google and download the latest one.

If you want youtube and music I suggest CorePlayer. It isn't free, but it's worth it since it will work with bluetooth stereo headsets, play all type of movie files (avi, divx, mkv, mov, wma, etc..) and all types of music files (mp3, lossless mp3, etc...) and has a built in youtube player.

These are my suggestions. Also if you want to have a lot of space after flashing your rom stay away from the manilla/touchflo 2d roms. They all come with tons of programs and don't leave a lot of space to install other programs.

Remember to read what the others have suggested before flashing so you don't brick your phone. CID/SIM unlock it with HardSPL before you flash a custom rom. It's easy and instruction manuals are available. Also if you flash a BIG Storage Rom later, follow Dr. Puttingham's direction of flashing a stock rom, a new radio and then the custom rom you chose to avoid the phone being unstable. You get a lot more internal storage so it's worth the extra 10 minutes.

Lastly, please read, search, ask questions and learn. Beyond that get the biggest microsd card you can to store all the great programs and goodies you will accumulate. 16gb are out now but the 8gbs are a great starting point space and price point wise.

Peace and welcome to XDA-Devs.

Just remember with the UC compliance, any app installed by the script is installed to the phone memory, NOT the sd card...
