Default Cingular 8525

The roms used for the HERMES phone are the EXACT ones for the cingular 8525?

If you are asking will your phone scream ATT or Cingular, NO it will not. Will the Hermes ROMS install and work much better on the 8525 than the shipped ROM, YES it will! You will need the keyboard install cab to get the key mappings correct though.

Yes, you'll need the Cingular Keyboard cab though... do a search or it's likely on the wiki

Can you suggest a working rom for the cingular 8525? maybe even the sliding keyboard?

WHOAH There buddy.


ROMS are really dependant on the user and the programs that they are using.

If you want an official cingular rom, look for the ones with Cingular as the retailer. the benefit of these is all your data, mms settings and such are all done for you, the bad is they are loaded with all sorts of crap and are slow. If you want something a little different then take a look around from one of our cooked roms, each has its own falvors and options you are just gonna have to read and stop being so demanding.

If you really read those then you wouldn't be asking where to download from.

He asked what I like and I told him. Ask me what color I like and you will get an answer you may or may not agree with too.
