Hello Folks!
I tried several WM 6.5 roms and always had a problem with HTC Messaging.
It is really, really laggy. Please can someone advice a stable ROM with Sense 2.5 that does not have this issue?
(or Which ROM is the best and fastest, please?)
Thank you!
yeah it will be nice but I don't think that there is solution. It is not the ROM' s, but speed of the device. sense 2.5 is for Leo with almost double processor speed
It's recommended not to restore old SMS with PIMBackup or similar. Maybe this will cause your issues.
Well if I go to delete messages screen where also all the messages are shown it is moving flawlessly without any lag, so I bet the lag is not a matter of processor resources.
Is it possible to cook a ROM with messaging from previous manila? It would be really huge improvement!
maybe? but in the all messages preview, not all messages are previewed but few from a conversation of many? (just checked that and was surprised my self)
regardless processor I am still convinced that is the speed because it takes time to load all messages from one contact, picture of them and your own and place them in every single message.
in one conversation I have about 30 msg. and after couple of iretating sec. it runs smooth.
It will be great with old msg in new ROM's
Alright, so I have no experience making a ROM, but I figure I might as well learn. I personally am interested in a ROM for the HD2 that just uses Titanium - none of that messy Sense nonsense - and to the best of my knowledge the current ROM chefs aren't too interested in that.
However, considering I can always just turn off Sense, it seems like a lot of work for just me. Is anyone else out there interested in such a thing? I presume you'd want it based on 6.5.x, not the standard 6.5?
If there's enough interest, I'll get started tonight.
Also, if you are interested, please post what other add-ons you'd want pre-installed. I'd like to keep it fairly basic, and allow users to add their own customizations later, but I figure maybe at least 4-column start menu and slider at the bottom.
Would be a good idea to have one. I'd love to have compatible themes as well for it. It's really tough searching for them as nobody is really into that anymore. Titanium would fly on our phones as HTC Sense for WinMo is pretty slow compared to it's Android counterpart. I ran HTC Sense on my Nexus One and it was crazy fast and the Nexus One has less RAM and ROM space than the HD2
I like to use the phone without Sense, but recently with the Elegancia ROM from steve0007 I have been using it with Sense enabled. When I disable Sense, there is a weird issue on the HD2, and I think I experienced it with other ROMs too, where the default menus don't disappear from the screen once I have tapped what I need. They just stay, blocking the screen, and the only solution is a soft reset. It'd be nice to have the ability to enable and disable Sense at will without an issue like this. A ROM without Sense at all might be a solution but I prefer having both options.
Miri has a couple options out, Titanium only or without both. But you have to go over to that 'other site' to get them.

Just checked it out. Looks like its based on 6.5. Nothing wrong with that per se, but without Sense you lose the HTC apps like contacts, calendar, etc and 6.5.x is a nice upgrade over 6.5 in that area.

I'm sorry, can you explain this a little more? I've used stock, Energy, and Kumar's ROMs all with Titanium and I don't think I've seen that one.
I'm using a really basic rom right now with HTC's stuff disabled. I prefer the WinMo 6.5 style today screen, SMS app, and speed. I've tried a bunch of roms and sense just bogs the phone down to the point that they keyboard becomes slow and unresponsive and that drives me bonkers!
FYI - I've been playing around with kitchens, and have what appears to be a stable version of a fast, basic, Titanium-only ROM running on my phone.
I'll play around with it some more to sort out bugs and clean up my kitchen a bit more. Look for a thread with the ROM download in the coming days!
I'm relatively new, and will do a search here shortly, but Titanium? My biggest gripe with this phone is the messaging app. It always lags heavily every time I get a new text, as well as other weird time stamp issues. I would be interested in a ROM w/o the HTC messaging app, and if Titanium is it, them I'm game!
Like I said, I will be searching RIGHT after this about what all this is, and if there's a solution to what I'm looking for now.

Titanium is the default Windows Mobile 6.5 interface. If you want to see what it looks like - go to the settings tab, hit menu->all settings->today, go to the Items tab, and switch to Windows Default.
And you're in luck - I am using the standard Windows Mobile messaging app as well.
I got a ROM building as I type this, I'll let you guys know how it goes

Here is a link to the ROM: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654218
It is for the T-Mobile HD2. It is probably the best looking and most stable I have used on any Windows Mobile phone...and I used MANY on my Touch Pro2.

How did you get the standard winmo messaging app? Even after I disabled the sense UI it still used the sense messaging...

Sense UI and HTC messaging client are different but interdependent.
The HTCmessaging client may still function without sense UI.
If you want windows messaging, try here or need a cooked ROM like my Lite version ROM.
How is this coming along?
Anyone have any links to some Titanium ROMs?
i know nrg always puts out a titanium rom
NRG does have a Titanium Rom, however I have noticed a lot of programs are pre-packaged into the Rom that I would never use.
An Elegancia Titanium Rom would be the best of both worlds in my opinion. No fluff and allows for your own additions. Or a NRG Rom without the extras. Just my .02 in what I would like to see.

I would recommend either Energy or Kumar's Titanium ROM, depending on what you're looking for.
I had something that was ok, not great, when the more established ROM chefs started putting out Titanium ROMs, so I figured I'd just leave it up to them.
Do you have a link for Kumars Titanium Rom? I see the Lite version but is that the same as Titanium or is there a separate thread which I am not seeing?
I'm going to download the Energy Rom but have a feeling it will still have too much added for my liking.
Is there a big difference in performance between the two? Also how is the memory usage? I would test it but atm I don't have the time to flash new ROMs and then if I don't like them to reflash back. So if it isn't a worry for you please share your opinion. Thank you
yes, there are many differences.
sense 2.5.2012 is working smooth on the blackstone. Don't be reluctant to try it.
you can check the differences on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5176648&postcount=6
have used them both.i rather stick to 2.1 bc i dont use the 3 quicklinks in 2.5
also you have kinda a quicklink in the "programs" tab.place that as second and you have kinda a quicklink.2.5 is quicker then the old one.
I'm another one that prefers 2.1
Quicker, for my needs, only thing I would like is the 2.5 Sense People Tab, the email one has been ported as a cab to be installed on 2.1 was wondering if anyone knew if the People tab had been too?
I'm not using any manila/sense right now (I love Pocket Plus ), but 2.1 is far more better for me - direct link to call history in Home tab, appointments preview, Programs tab with All Programs link, it's smoother, faster etc etc...
Another vote for 2.1
I'm not a great fan of quicklinks
so even when I used 2.5 I used max manila to hide them
The app called Flix is a bit memory fussy
so It switched from 2.5 to 2.1
these days I use a 6.1 wm, 2.1 sense combo
yeah, rhodium sense 2.5 runs smoothly enough for everyday use.
after installing Co0kie's Home Tab, you can customize it in so many ways that once you get used to it, it is hard to go back to sense 2.1.
smaller weather clock; bar showing # of missed calls, new sms and emails; up to 5 appointments showing; up to 20 quicklinks showing in a single screen; and many other customizations, makes me think how better htc programmers could have done it from the beginning.
As this is a discussion between 2.1 and 2.5 and has no relevance to development I've moved this thread to general dicussion
Another one here with preference to 2.1
I simply more like the way contacts and mail are displayed in 2.1 than in 2.5
Also, I'm dependent on Programs tab... I'm almost dependent on having 15 links to programs...
Another vote for 2.1
Hi all, I prefer Android 2.3 builds with CM but I miss some Sense apps. Would like to ask you is there any way to launch the following on Gingerbread:
- HTC USB To PC popup;
- HTC Dialer & Contact manager;
- HTC Sense keyboard;
Thanks
naah dont think so

i have been looking for something like this but apparently for sense applications to work sense has to be running. So does HTC clicker.
Sense application wont work under AOSP gingerbread i am afraid.
I know this post will anoy alot of people but people jump to conclusions.
This is not a 'which is the best' question its a Which works Question
I want a rom that will work like a new phone out of a box - HTC sense UI and all working.. - No dodgy iphone style theme thing -
Ive been using android 2.2 for 6 months now and its been great but i want to update the OS to 2.3.
Every version of 2.3 i install has problems with the camera or backlight or somthing OR - Theres a 'allmost perfect version' - and theres either
a. no actual link - just a load of crap in the thread aout how good it is with loads of pictures and no actual link -
b. it has a stupid crappy iphone theme skin that it doesent function properly without
c. crashes and wont boot after clock work has done its witch craft!
So my question is -
In your opinion, whats the most stable BEST RUNNING 2.3 ROM that isnt skinned and has sense UI?
I dont care about people's thoughts 'whats cool for me might not be cool for you' - the question is as above!
I suggest not to jump to conclutions ur self and try Ultimate droid 3.3 ir has gingerbread 2,3 running, best speed amongst ANY roms out there, simple but very customisable ui, been using it for 5-6 months and it has never crashed.
tip - get a widget of the sence like clock u wond even feel like missing sence UI
there is no fully working sense rom with 2.3

This animal doesn't exist. There are no 2.3 ROMs running Sense that work "well", they ALL have major issues. This is simply not an option at this point.
Try again next month. Who knows?
all roms are in DEV state. even next month =P
Thankyou - Does the SD card work as an APP directory

Thanks for your feedback - My only question - i downloaded a version of 2.3 - and when i move an app say angry birds to the SD card - it comes up with some bogus application cannot start error - then a load of random numbers - ill log it next time... - But as soon as i move the app to the phone memory, it works - this happens on all card classes... - Google earth also does this aswell as loads of other apps...
