What is the best ROM for imate SP5m

[Guest bukhariwaheed111]

I had Orange SPV (canary) used it for four years upgraded it to 1.6 uk rom still works like a charm. recently i bought imate SP5m upgraded it to

ROM version :2.0.8.0

Operator version:2.6.331.2

Funny thing is those small hiccups and hangups.some time nostalgia of using orang spv 5way joy stick hits because i still believe that it was one of the best joy stick on a phone. small stud like joy stick on imate SP5m sucks big time.

any ways i just wanted to know from all you modaco expert guys that which rom will be best on sp5m and works without glitches.

thanks , you guys are doing great job. any advice will be appreciated.

thks in advance

currently running the latest AKU2 imate rom (i-mate_SP5_NRE_2.5.333.1) on my 8310 and ive never had a problem with it. i have to say i prefer the imate rom to the qtek rom. its just small things in the qtek rom which i dont like. also the NRE gives me a bit more storage space than the WWE. so i'd recomend the i-mate_SP5m_NRE_2.6.333 for you :) if however you find its got bugs in you can use the WWE version (i-mate_SP5m_WWE_2.5.331.2)

I'm using 8300 firmware on my SP5m because:

- The phone runs faster

- With the SP5m firmware the joystick control is crappy, I tought my joystick was broke because it wouldn't go downwards, but with the qtek firmware it worked flawlessly

- I don't like the i-mate startup screen :)

- The "internet" button takes you to internet favorites, not i-mate.com

- Qtek firmware is closer to original HTC firmware

- The i-mate firmware messed up my intel 2200bg wlan connection when using activesync (the activesync was in rndis mode, note serial as default.. with the qtek firmware I don't have any problems)

You can get qtek 8300 firmware with english, finnish, swedish, norwegian, danish, slovacik, hungerian, dutch and french support from www.smartmobil.no.

Since the firmware isn't for the same phone you must edit it to be able to use it.. several guides in this forum.

you can change your splash screens quite easily. just download the attachment, extract and run the exe. to change your splash screen go Tools>Immediate Flash Tools>Change device splash screen>Tornado (240x320) ;)

Would this work on a iMate SP5? Any dangers involved? Is it easy to switch back to the iMate ROM?
