Re: Pleas help, Moving to Omnia from HTC XV6700

ok I'm convinced. Now, can people please clue me in. I'm a biologist and not a WM expert, so I don't have the time/knowledge for extensive hacking here. With the XV6700, there was a Kitchen which was very easy to use (just click the packages you want, and out comes the ROM), and a .CAB of common hacks that make the device work better. What's the status of this for Omnia - is there a kitchen, or else a ROM, which is easy to use (foolproof - no moving files around manually etc.), and results in a stable, fast, device with the good apps on it? I'm particularly interested in using the GPS (I'll buy paid software later, as long as the device supports it) and having a system that's quick, responsive, doesn't lock up, and has reliable BlueTooth connectivity and Exchange Server sync (wireless over-the-air sync to exchange server). What would you suggest (specific links if possible) for the ROM, kitchen (if needd), .CAB (or else compiled list) of hacks/tweaks that make things better, and specific instructions for flashing? How about radio upgrades - is that necessary/useful/available? I'll be using it with Verizon, and installing a bunch of WM software that I had running on my XV6700. Any advice woudld be greatly appreciated! If I'm going to give up my trusty HTC I'd like to make sure I know what ROM to put on before doing all the preference setting, installing software, etc. etc. Thank you!!
