You will of course need to install hard SPl to your Orbit 2 before you can flash a rom, find it here

Quick question, will I need to manually setup GPRS etc if I flash to a new ROM?

and will my O2 Co-pliot version work with any ROM? or have O2 locked it so it will only work with their ROM?

cheers

Co-pilot has (to date) worked with every ROM i've flashed on my Orbit 2. to ensure i have no issues prior to flashing:

1. i installed co-pilot to my micro-SD card
2. i copied the Co-Pilot shortcut from the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder to the \Storage Card\Program Files\CoPilot folder on my micro-SD card.
3. after flashing a new ROM, i copy the shortcut back to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
4. i configure and confirm my internet (or Wifi) connection settings work,
5. i click the shortcut to launch Co-Pilot. i always get a message saying Co-Pilot needs to be activated.
6. i start the Co-Pilot activation process; in most cases my activation code will be pre-loaded
7. i complete the activation process and start using Co-Pilot.

this process has worked every time and keeps me from having to perform a fresh re-install after each ROM flash. hopefully it will work for you (and others) if you choose to use my "shortcut" method!

That is a nice way of doing it cortez, I just copy the Co Pilot .exe out of the original O2 rom from the Windows folder, and then paste it into the new rom's Windows folder and tap on it to run. It works perfectly as long as you are using the same storage card.

cheers for the tip cortez. I decided to start from afresh this time just to get rid of junk to ensure good performance

Well I flash the ROM (udK Diamond R3) yesterday evening, and the performance increase is well... amazing!!, i'm finding the device alot faster and responsive, and also bluetooth audio is much improved with my alpine car headunit, though that may have to do with the two patches released by HTC.
Also liking the task manager compared with the O2 version. big thumbs up

very happy

Hi Hinz, the udK rom is good and speedy, I am currently running the new pda.viet version.
