Guest MungoJ Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 OK, this isn`t meant to be a complete list or anything like that. It would be nice if other UK users could give some infor here too so maybe we can compile a complete list of why, why nots ? I installed the imate smartphone2 rom on my UK SPV E200. It was very quick and painless following the instructions from another thread here. I have also flashed back to the latest Orange ROM and then back again to the imate one - I came to my senses. So far, with the imate rom: I am able specify SMS Delivery report in the settings - ie I don`t have to select it every time I send an SMS!! <lovely> Also, my video recorder is usable again. I have perfect audio and what seems to be smoother, faster video. There are some major improvements on the T9 front - I will cover these in a later post. Suffuce to say that SMS and messaging functions are now quicker and easier to use. I think a few new apps have appeard - IA File Manager for one. The phone is definately faster and more responsive too. I know you usually experience and increase after a hard reset but this is way beyond that. On the downside, I`ve lost the Orange Homescreen and hav to make do with the MS One until I figure out how to get the Orange one loaded. All the communications settings are now blank. I`m rebuilding this slowly but I know there is somewhere on THIS site where you can do this easily. Another drag is that I will have to flash back to the Orange ROM if I need a care replacement. So over to anyone else who has experience with this ROM on a UK E200. I`d also like to hear from anyone who can help me out with the homescreen or setting thing?

Guest drblow Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I assume you are talking about the Orange shortcuts plugins?If so, unfortunately m8, you'll not be able to get the Orange homescreen back on the I-Mate ROM coz its an Orange specific plugin, shipped only on Orange ROMs. You can't get it any other way. :cry: The only alternative is to use one of the homescreens that include the RJ shortcut plugin, but that only gives you icons linked to apps, not the nice 'keyclick' shortcuts on the Orange e200.

This is really bad compared to the iMate ROM. I find the phone locks up from time to time, keys don't respond, and it even shut down right in the middle of a call! Luckily this is just temporary to enable me to backup the orange plugin. I have tried to copy the files from windows directory to the SD card, but I find some of the files cannot be copied. So far only dll, but that includes an orange dll. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to which files are needed for the orange plugin, and how to copy the ones with problems?

Guest Simon Desser Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Update: Only a quick update - my battery life has improved greatly - I only used 13% in 12 hours!! Mines not as good as that, but I'm still delighted :D With this ROM, it's dropping by about 2% per hour, and it used to be 4.5 - 5% per hour :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even u update to another brand rom and then return to I-Mate Rom, the problem will come back! The bug is inside the I-Mate Rom! The best Rom for stability, speed and battery life is Orange... :oops: without great gugs! But remember that upgrading to another brand Rom is not so legal... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monacoslo Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 How can I flash my E200 with a generic Qtek 8080 rom?
