Telstra i-mate SP2 owners will need to logon to Club i-mate and visit this page to download the customizations for their network.

DID ANYONE TRY IT ON A E200 OR A XPHONE?

[hardcore]

I wanna try it but I dont have access to the ROM. Anyone got it already?

[yoos]

I downloaded it, but I'm waiting for the experts input/opinions before I try to upgrade:

where can the update be downloaded from other than i-mate??

[adambern]

I tried it last night. After a couple of false starts (the procedure failed but DIDN'T trash my phone) it upgraded in around 5 minutes.

So far I reckon call quality is better - louder and clearer
Battery life is much better 10% down in 7 hours so far and that's with BT on and a card inserted.

DO IT!

[harshal]

I did it. Just trying out now. Have been installing all my applications. I will let everyone know if the SD card bug, etc still remain. Will keep you guys posted.

I'm using the test version of it (the one that appeared on their site accidently for a bit) for a week or 2 on my e200 and I'm very satisfied with it. It is more stabile than the orange rom, sound quality is clear _and_loud. I couldn't tell by how many percent but battery life is better as well. Long pressing a button while writing a message results in a number instead of scrolling the charachters like in the orange rom. And I think startup is also faster a bit.
I'm a happy man!

[bolasz]

Oh, forgot about the SD bug! It hasn't happened since I'm using this rom!

[sparkisgti]

can someone supply this update to me??? please  

[ri2la]

Please please please where can we get this if we only own an e200?

Thanks in advance!!!

[HuskerDu]

Anyone tried it out on a Qtek 8080? Is it better than the Swedish 1.9.14.1 ?

You could try Sprite Backup.

sprite backup is wicked.. ive been using it for afes and ive also done full restores on friends phones and can guarantee is works.

ive just bought myself a full copy instead of the timed trial   worth every penny

[ex_zero]

everyone who's done the update, let us all know within the next few days if the battery life has improved, along with the SD card problem not popping up, as i think everyone is aware that within the first day or two, it can't be judged how well the rom is compared to a weeks worth of play.

[sparkisgti]

i cant even get it to install on my orange e200 as it says error 117: invalid model id

  :evil:

[hardcore]

Thanks 2 million for the link!

[daffy]
