Well I'm kind of new to the wm scene, I recently bought a htc dual, but i found that is lags to much it's fairly slow compared to my T-mobile dash which I had also updated to wm 6.1. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to increase the phones speed.
This is Windows Mobile so it must work slowly. This is not other phone without operating system
I know that, I had the dash before the dual, what I'm asking for is software that is a little more reliable than the original software for the dual, because of the simple fact that it lags more that 6.1 kavana which I used on the dash.
I meant then
If you've still got the stock ROM on it may be an idea to have a look at one fo the custom ROMs in the Nike Upgrading forum. Depends if you want to stick with WM6.1 or go with WM6.5 (don't forget it's all beta though).
Some cooks do lite ROMs with a lot of the apps ripped out so see if there is something that matches your requirements.

Is atom hardware is same as Hp 6828, on few sites they said it's identical, but i'm not sure what kind of identical is it.
So can we run ROM for Atom into Hp 6828 (Like HTC Universal as: XDA exec, dopod 900 etc)
Thanks in advanced
hardware is identical, but i've not sem people run the rom of one in the other. People have extracted Atom apps (phone pad/dial) and installed them in the 6828 with no problems though.
Hmmm, Thanks for reply...
I think i'll start my experiment on my girlfriend's 6828. (I'm sure she wont complain cause I bought it for her) ;-D
Hope you post the results! I want to do the oposite - Flash HP's ROM into my Atom!
...are you SURE you want O2's ROM on a HP? >_>
u can flash 6828 with atom's rom, but there will be a lot of hardware issues... and believe me, u'll regret it..
A bit OT, but I have question about 6828. Is there any possibility to connect any USB device to it? I consider USB HDD 2,5". Please help.

nope, but there are ways to connect the miniSD card on your Atom to a PC as a Flash Drive.
Yeah, you need a feature called "USB Host". PPCs that have them are RARE, and unfortunately, the Atom doesn't have it, and O2/HP isn't known for supporting this feature.
So have you tried the flashing?
Please post results. I belive that if they are hardware identical it wont be a poroblem to flash it! Like I have flashed my old MDA compact with Qtek S100's flash!
I want to try the HP rom on my Atom mainly for the new camera software(they say it's better than the Atom's one)
In my honest opinion, I dont know why you would want to flash the HP to O2. The o2 rom is heavier and the features hardly used (unless of course you subscribe to o2's services)
I seriously think you are better off with the HP rom.
it's lighter faster and more reliable.
have you upgraded to the new 1.01 rom from HP?
Try that instead.

Can we run ROM for Atom Prophet_220734_2207114_024721(AKU2.3)

Thanks
Maybe not so ultimate a chicken??

I see you're running :
==Currently Using:==
O2 Xda Atom Not-Quite-The-Executive
CMOS: 55.44
BRD: C1
ROM: 20060721B1WWE
RDO: R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013
EXT : EX0033
Does that work well on a std Atom?
Is there any benefit compared to version 20060414B1WWE?
Have you tried installing later exec ROM's too (think there was a later radio ROM from September 2006)?
If so, did it work?
Well, after doing this, I didn't dare to flash with any later ROMs. Why?
Because the ROM is hacked to OUTRIGHT LIE. As in, an ordinary Atom only has 128MB of internal RAM, but the ROM makes it say 192MB. Yes, 192MB. Because of this, I dare not flash with later ROMs. No telling what an unhacked , pure ROM might do to an ordinary Atom. (Yes, the ROM was supposedly HACKED to work on the Atom, by using the Atom Radio Rom 0822 in place of the Atom Exec stack. I think if we tried to use an AE pure ROM, we'd get a missing radio ROM later, since it uses different radio hardware.)
I only flashed to this one because I was having trouble with 20060414B1WWE battery life and drain. Noticed very little change (an extra hour or so after conditioning, battery doesn't drain as often - eventually replaced the original, which turned out to have 2 of its cells non-functional), although some here said this made the O2's default battery last MUCH longer. Others also reported screen flicker after flashing - which disappears in a matter of hours or only happens periodically, but I noticed no such issues.
Also, note that if you flash to the hacked ROM, it's harder to go back to the original if you have problems - since the new bootloader will not allow you to flash straight from it anymore.
The camera application is more stable when attempting to save to memory, and the phone reception is slightly better - but flashing to the hacked ROM is not recommended. There is little benefit far as I can see - even if the ROM is stable and my PPC still works the same - and the risk is rather high.
You can search this forum for the old threads when that ROM first came out. They should tell you what you need to know, and are answered by people with more experience than I have.
hi guys, I bought a BA recently, & I found this forum, HEAVEN!!!
I:
-play a lot of mp3 through earphone, TCPMP is my only player
-run on 3600mAh battery, battery life is my life
-play video clip @ <500kbps occasionally
-share file with other devices & active sync through BT
-do simple phone operations like sms & calling only, not using BT headset or what
-want stability
or which rom has least problem (& what are they?) apart from being free from any problems related to the above?
thanks for any possible guidance
generally, our WM6.0 or 6.1 is designed for latest handheld with vga screen, higher speed, better hardware so each ROM has its own characteristics... you should do trial and error... practices make perfect bro...
cheers
evo
PS:dont worry of making mistakes.. all the information that you need is here.. happy upgrading
I'm pretty new to BA like you are. What I've learned so far is that you need to try each ROM yourself and see how your device responds to it. I'm guessing that these BAs are like any other piece of computer hardware. You can have 5 devices all exactly alike and get 8 different responses as to which works best.
Some units have problems with Wifi depending on which ROM you use. That's been my biggest issue is trying to find a ROM that'll let me use Wifi without too many headaches. I've had mine for like a month or so now and I'm still flipping ROMs to compare.
Swampy just came out with a new one which I need to try, and Sundream mentioned he'll have a new one soon too. Xplode said he would a while back, but I'm still waiting on that one as well.
Unfortunately there isn't a sticky with a list of ROMs that list each person and their latest ROM. That would be incredibly handy and help clean up the forums a bit I'd think.
Hi,
Are there noticable speed improvements when comparing a HTC Touch HD with the initial stock ROM (I think it is 1.14) and the latest cooked ROMs like the one from Dutty or Laurentius, etc?
I am asking because we tested today the phone of a colleague with TomTom 7.450 and iGo 8.0 and not updated ROM 1.14 but with SD Card tune, AGPS disabled etc. and both navigation systems were quite slow, quite a big GPS lag, there were also freeze problems (my colleague says the htc freeze fix was installed, but as he was not sure he tried again and it says incorrect version now). In fact when I compared the navigation system/GPS performance with my old HTC Magician with external bluetooth GPSSlim236 with TomTom 6, the difference was so much in advantage of my old phone ... I cannot rely on the the HTC TOuch HD to reach a destination ...
I wanted to buy the HTC Touch HD so much, but now if the device/GPS is so laggy I guess I must wait for another 1 year, until the HTC Tegra phones come out ...
I got a Touch Cruise (and a Mio550) and anyone working with WM5 or WM6.1 can feel my pain using those interfaces. Both upgrade to WM6.5
But why one would ever wanna meddle with the new HD Mini. What is it to win by doing that?
Edit: Im looking for a functional VLC-like player for Divx on HD Mini (my brother's phone). The Coreplayer will not work for me. As soon as i "load" a movie the whole OS gets in a loopback and nothing really works afterwards. Any suggestions?

keep using Coreplayer. only set the Video to GDI...
Coreplayer works fine.
about why changing... I've a Polaris (Touch Cruise) too... and it works fine with rom upgraded to W6.5 and if you are using the Cruise fills your need you don't have too change. but for me, the speed and fonctionality of the phone is important and Cruise is laking in power and ram with W6.5 for me! That's why I changed me phone to have a HD2 on mini size and I'm very happy with it...
I cant argue that HD Mini>Touch cruise, but what im saying is, why would an HD Mini owner load a kitchen ROM on his device? What would be the reasons (not counting Android or WM7)

The same reason you upgrade Touch Cruise to WM6.5!!! to keep it up to date and having the latest advancement on WM... that's all....
ad for having Android as the WM capable devices can handle Android, it's nice to have 2 OS on one device! (imagin having on yor PC a windows and a Linux OS!)
Well ok but the Touch Cruise is loaded with the oldish and cumbersome WM6.1 and the upgrade to 6.5 is a must.
Whle the HD Mini already comes with 6.5 preinstalled so what else would load a kitchen rom for. Maybe for newer Radio roms for better Wifi coverage and battery life?
As a matter of fact my bro's officially upgraded HD Mini through HTC site doesnt have as good WiFi as the one i manually loaded on my Touch Cruise. Its considerably less strong compared to mine (1.65.XX)

radio fonctionality depends also to the mobile services. for example my Cruise works better with radio 1.59.44.02 but cooking roms let the user have the best choice
Hey,
I've got an MF68 / IP800 (It got so many names that I prefer to call it "Horza", sounds pro - There will be a picture of it on the bottom of this post) and it came with a Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional - CE 5.2.23090 (Comp. 23090.5.3.0) - Yup, it ain't a rip-off windows. It's a rather good phone, with a slow-but-does-whatever-I-throw-at-it processor "HUAWEI HiSilicon K3", running at 360MHz (I've seen versions running at 460, if anyone knows how to overclock it, it would be welcome), 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM; all those controlled by a 240x400 3" resistive screen. Not a lamborghini but does the job well done.
Anyhoo, I want to change the ROM. Somehow it limits my volume to 63%. It might be good for my ears, but it's a real pain when I connect it to an external speaker. Also, there's a few ROM's possessing some sleek features that I'd love to use. But there's three problems:
1 - It's a dual-SIM phone (the actual ROM seems to be adapted, or something, for this - due to the poor, china-style, translation in the Dual-SIM Setup area)
2 - It's a china phone, thus I don't know what I'm supposed to do or if it's able to
3 - I only have the original USB Cable. Will it work or I need some sort of special cable?
So, what should I do? Will it be able to update? Which programs should I get?
Thanks for the attention and I'm awaiting for an answer
Sincerely,
GTMoraes
well if you say that its a legit windows mobile device then you should be able to have themes for it however, some things like hardware issues are going to get in your way.
1. Dual-SIM
2. Screen Resolution (not anytheme will work)
3. Thats all i can think of...
4. Will think of other stuff and come back to you
Yup, I can use some themes for my WM, I've got tired of the Titanium style and ATM I'm using the SPB Shell, works like a charm.
The actual O.S. works fine, but it's limiting the volume to 63% (according to 40iPlay and proved through external speakers). I've googled around and it looks like an European or something limitation, removeable only with a new ROM - so here am I.
Is there any program that I should run to see if my phone is compatible with ROM updating?
Thanks for you answer and I'm awaiting for new ones
P.S.: Anything related to the Samsung i900 works flawlessly on the Horza. So does the HTC gSensor
I have a China LEO 8585 and have yet to find a custom rom myself.. sorry bud.
