Question [Q] Learner Question
I see that my X5 has the B160 firmware thing in the phone status. Does that mean that i can only use B160 roms? Or can i use any of the others as well? ...also same with the kernel (not too sure what a kernel is) but can i use any of them also?

Thanks.

no, you can use other ROMS, B160 is just one of them. You can also use any of the kernels out for your x5.

Oh thanks for the reply.

So i have the B160 Rom that is posted in the development section atm. But my wifi has never connected to my Zyxel router ever since i bought the phone. And i want to try installing this thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1043238

So do i just install as instructed? or do i have to uninstall something first?...sorry im so noob.

I dont know much about this stuff but i want to try the thing that ive linked to because someone in that thread says "Has anyone noticed some improvements on wifi stability with b136? On 135 there was like no chance connecting to zyxel with wpa2, but with 136 it seems stable even with wpa2..."

So it seems it fixed their Zyxel problem i guess. So i want to try it ^^

I reported that with my zyxel, but i celebrated too early. I got it connected only at the first time after flashing, but not again... But without security it seems to connect fine. I use only MAC filtering to stop any unwanted connections...
