I've just started looking into this subject, you might want to start here:
http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php/topic,18736.0.html
Sounds promising to begin with but the last post in the thread (currently) is along the lines of "my phone is now dead"....*gulp*
that's the caveat, LOL
cooked roms, as it's known in the WinMo world, is customised rom images, either adding or removing unneeded programs. usually has the effect of freeing up disk space and memory (for a proper cooked rom)
for e.g. the HX roms for the Samsung symbian phones.
..not to mention the phone comes fully 'hacked' i.e. all system drives available to user
i'm running one of the modified firmwares - and it is great - the phone response time is much better - crap removed from it - new maps built in + few other things - like useless input and display languages removed.
other good thing is after hard reset all this crap stay in the phone including rompatcher 😃 build into firmware 😃
kpblxa,
How much ram is free on startup?
Which software and online guide do you recommend to apply a modified firmware?
Cheers!
60 MB free on start up
66 Disk C - that s before i added alto of crap into it

and i did not make it myself - some 19 year old kid in "russ-land" did it.
know nothing how to do it - the only thing is that you have to use nokia editor to extract and pack the firmware files back
Where could one find details on this modified firmware if interested?
dog-man
dog-man, check your pm
So, what modified firmware are you using?
Can you point me to where it can be found so I can research it.
I have started researching this thanks to Jerm, but at the moment all is not clear to me, but I am sure it will be soon.
This will be a last ditch attempt to be happy with my N97.
If I can make it work smoothly without lockups, then I will be happy and not dump it for something that works better.

if you read Russian - i can point you in the right direction...
more screen shots here --- http://www.s60v5.ru/forum/33-1492-1 click on the icons with the + sigh in on the first post.
there is a huge list of changes there - you may use google translate to see if does wonders for u
one more think - i can give u unmodified firmware 21.0.102 for EUro variants
or with rompatcher installed
you will have to use JAF to flash it
Not used Jaf before, although I do have it.
What's the difference between v21.0.102 and my v21.0.0.045?
I will have to do some serious research on this to limit my chance of bricking my N97. 😮
Thanks for the link. 😉

You could always try

i think u r far behind than the russians - the list of changes is amassing on the latest FW they made. integrated latest maps, useless crap removed, and many more. the next step these people are working on is the way to pack core back after extract 😃
It does give a new life to n97

not much - i think the only difference is maps 3.03 integrated
Looks interesting. Thanks. :icon14:

That sounds like a CV (Country Variant) and not the generic Euro firmware.
What does this have or not have that the latest official firmware has?

CV firmware is Continent (i.e. Euro) firmware that has been altered/tweaked to comply with various countries telecommunications regulations.So, it will usually be the Continental firmware with things adjusted.
The reason that it has Ovi Maps 3.03, which the Euro model doesn't, is that Ovi maps v3.03 came out of beta after the Euro firmware was signed off on and before the CV firmware was available.
Sorry I can't be more definitive about the exact differences

i think you are wrong - 21.0.102 was released and then pulled back from NSU.
It is available from various paid websites for any variant. i personally have about 20+ country variants for this firmware.
Take your phone to a Nokia service centre and i bet they will flash it with 21.0.102 FW
Do you have to use Jaf?
I am used to using Phoenix, will that not work as well as Jaf?
Not used Jaf before and have heard many horror stories about Jaf.

phoenix will not work as it checks if the firmware is modified or not - it will not work. you have to use JAF
OK, I will have to get used to Jaf.
dog-man
so, dog-man, how did it go? is that cfw good?
I only managed to flash it a couple of days ago and am still testing it but so far, it does seem very much slicker and responsive.
I installed v21.0.102 and have also installed spb shell and am getting used to that. I didn't go with the Russian firmware in case I misunderstood something as this was my first time using Jaf.
It seemed much slicker without spb shell, but even more so with spb shell.
