question on flashing to a new ROM

[mlevin77]

ok thanks! Is there a kitchen for the Imagio by any chance? And in general: are the new ROMs (say, the Teya one you like) significantly better than the Verizon one? Is it likely to improve small glitches I see with how reminders work, locking properly on BT calls, etc.? What are the main advantages? With my old XV6700, the cooked ROM was a lot better than the stock one. With this device, does it make that much difference?

it makes a huge difference both visually and practically, custom roms will always be faster and have way more features than the stock rom. there are kitchens floating around, try the search feature to find some...

I use OsKitchen to churn out my ROMS. I think it does a very good job.

is it the one at PPCKitchen Releases - PPCKitchen

I think I used it once before for my XV6700, but it was just the one file. This thread lists dozens of other files that appear to be necessary and I have no idea which ones I need. Is there by any chance a relatively detailed set of instructions step by step of exactly what I need to have to build a working one for the Imagio?

The one at PPCKitchen.org kitchen is OsBuilder. I used to use that for my Touch Pro. But didn't serve my purpse nor did it work well with the Imagio.

Try OsKitchen from [WM Kitchen] OsKitchen Zero v1.33.5 (20 October 2010) - xda-developers.

Then to just getting started:

1. Download the Official ROM from Personal Communications Devices | Our Devices - XV6975

2. Then in the kitchen click on "Import" and choose "Import a new ROM File"

After that you can customize your ROM aswell as adding other ext rom packages etc...

That is pretty much just to get you started in a nut shell. There are other details but... well get into that later.

super. I'll read the directions there. If you have any suggestions on options or things to include/exclude for maximum speed and stability, please let me know. Also, if there is any not-too-difficult way to include software I own (with registration codes) in the ROM so that I don't have to reinstall everything each time, and/or to save settings/preferences (so I don't have to reset everything each time), I'd love to know about it.

thanks again,

Mike

I tried to download it at

xda-developers

and my virus scanner keeps telling me there's a virus in that one:

Am I missing something?

i doubt it has a virus, it just reads like one to your AV program. same thing happend to me when i installed my kitchen. just turn your AV program off or ignore the warning when installing...

No your no missing anything, It is a false positive. I have my Virus Scanner set to ignore the directory that I have OsKitchen stored in aswell as other ROM utilities. There are a few tools out there that will throw out a virus warning (like a custom RUU). But trust me there is nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't classify the Energy ROM as being faster than the stock. I just flashed back to the stock & it is much faster. The delay accessing everything is less noticeable.
