Guest homer_j_s Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Is it possible to flash a C500 with a ROM intended for a iMate SP3 or a qtek 8010? Cos I dont like the Orange ROM, its quite stable with the new 1 on but the orange logo pic on startup looks stupid. :D Also, if the ROM update is possible, would it remove the simlock or is that a seperate part of the phone? Thanks for any ideas PS. If the other roms would install, could it go back to orange rom if needed?
Guest Confucious Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 No No Why don't yopu just change the pic?

Guest homer_j_s Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 How do ya change the orange startup pic then? I know the pic is located in the WINDOWS folder but I thought this folder got rewritten on every reboot so changing it would make no difference. PS. LOL at 2 different ideas, 1 say it can be done, other say cant, any more takers, for or against?
Guest Confucious Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 If you instal a theme it will have it's own startup and shutdown images - I use Lo Simpsons theme that you can find in the Downloads section but sometimes change for others. I have a feeling that McHale is refering to the Audiovox 5600 rather than the Orange c500 when he says you can use other ROMS. AFAIK it is not possible with a C500 but I'd be happy to be proved wrong!
Guest Skunkchild Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Use SmartTweak http://smartgv.gavoille.com/en_logiciel_ht...?soft=smartweak
Guest Confucious Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I could be wrong - it looks like it can be done if your phone is SIM unlocked - check out http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=199011
Guest rvbcrs Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Use SmartTweak http://smartgv.gavoille.com/en_logiciel_ht...?soft=smartweak <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But that WON'T change the initial orange 'mountain water' picture at startup thats a splash screen integrated in the ROM..
Guest Confucious Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 rvbcrs - welcome to the forum. You are, of course right, neither will changing themes. That is the one screen that can't be changed AFAIK without changing ROM - wether it's worth the hassle to get rid of that one screen is another matter. Not for me, but then I use orange and see nothing wrong with it.
Guest Confucious Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 The number of stars you get increases with your posts, I don't know the exact figures but it's something like second star at 100 posts and your rank changes then again at 250 oposts or whatever. You can also put your own custom rank by becoming a Plus member - but that doesn't AFAIK get you any more stars (just a warm and fuzzy feeling :D)
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Stop this now. Posting to boost your count is annoying and breaches forum rules. I am now going to delete a lot of posts. :evil: [edit] Topic extra cleaned by Richie M :twisted: Please keep on topic guys! and as Stu says count boosting posts will be deleted [/edit]
