Looking for help with Manilla2D. Device running EXTREMLY slow =(

Well I did 2 hard resets to see if Manilla2D was the problem and i'm using just that and the stock sprint 6.1 ROM and all of a sudden im having a couple annoying problems and wondering if there is any fixes to them.
- When I click on a Text Message from the main screen and it brings up the threaded texting, when im using XT9 and I start typing it will type as if im holding down the letters like if I press the "as" button "?" will come up, and for me to type normal i have to go to Start>Programs>Messaging, which is really annoying lol.
- Another one is im using the TouchFlo2D Dialer, if i switch to keypad from call status the whole phone freezes up and i have to soft reset
- everytime i restart my touch i get a startkey.exe error and i just hit dont send and start up touchflo.
- last problem/bug that i can remember is that my phone is really really slow and i have nothing on it except manilla2d.
these are the steps i did to install manilla 2D idk if it will help solve my problem:
copied the "EMPTY" biotouch.exe and 3 other files I got from XDA and put them in the "Windows" folder, then used resco registry editor and disabled the cube, then installed all the cabs for Manilla2D to my "Device" not storage card, (it asked me to soft reset after some of them, but i didnt since i was going to soft reset after i finished installing them all.) then soft reseted and manilla2d works just is really laggy =(
any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance =D

I had the same problem with my phone running extremely slow whenever i tried installing manila 2d on my phone through the cab installs. I flashed to a custom rom with manila 2d built in it and the problems went away. It runs extremely smooth now.

ive never flashed my phone and only way i would do it if i had someone walk me through it as im doing it=\

How did you get the 6.1 ROM? You would flash it the same way as you did that one.

i just installed it from the htc site or whatever, but for custom roms dont you have to do all that unlocking and what not?

It's not terribly hard - in fact, the unlocking process is very similar to how you flashed the official ROM update.

Just use COKE's unlocker (just an app like the flasher) and install any custom ROM you want

this slowness has happened to me with a custom rom, i think its manilla.
it was very wierd, overall the entire OS was mega slow and un-usable as the OP said

I found what works best for me is piecing everything. I took everything from Update 19 except M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update19).cab. I installed M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update 15).cab (anything after made my device slow). I installed the latest version of Opera.
(sorry for the dots I'm just looking at them on my phonenand it's not showing all of the titles on some.)
First I ran:
HTC.home.v2.1.1005.722.directory.and.......... .cab
So From 19:
Enchasement..outlook.and.picture...... .cab
Audio Manager_2.0_1819.2129.cab
FSP, DShow, WMP, Youtube, Video Fixes.cab
Album_2.0_1818.3829.4.cab
Task_Manager_2.1 34837.5.cab
GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
HTC_Opera9.5.2392_www.cab(This is not from 19 Found it in another thread)
YouTubeQVGA1_5_1819_1531.and.mhubVO.cab
From Update 15:
M2D-Beta-0.08(Update 15).cab
Good Extras:
digital clock
Ringtone_plugin_1.00.080416.2.cab
Volume_control.cab
UI Tweaker
If you need this packaged let me know.

Great manilla2d rom
Hey guys.
If your looking for a good, fast, stable rom with manilla29 PLEASE flash this rom..............
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
NFSFAN has spent lots of time on this and is by far THE BEST manilla2d rom there is out there. He is constantly update bugs and getting the fixes out as soon as possible. This is the closest thing you can get to the diamond/touch pro without buying one. Any questions please feel free to ask BUT READ ALL DIRECTIONS ON FLASHING IF YOU HAVE NOT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to second that.
I used to have the stock Bell 3.09.666.10 ROM, with (my last incarnation) update 21. To get all the parts of M2D running (yuotube etc) you have to install alot of patches and tweaks.
My theory has always been, if you have to add too many parts to get something to work, maybe you should start over. Google "Beech 1900D" to see how this applies to aircraft!! A custom ROM with everyhting cooked in oem style runs much better than a Frankenstien special.
It is fun trying to get everything to work though.

When I first added M2D to my device it was extremely slow. After playing around for a while I found that the page pool played a huge roll in the speed of the rom. My page pool is set at 24 and I have no problems at all. I have had no problems with NFSFAN's roms. I believe the PP is already set to 24. Hope this helps.

Essential fixes for the Xperia X1

Hi all!
I`m new to this excellent board, even though I`ve been lurking for years. Lots of really skilled people here, awesome.
Anyways, as I`m waiting for my new Xperia I wondered if someone could put together a list of "essential" xperia fixes/add-ons/software, i.e. stuff that should be done right out of the box sort to say?
Nothing I hate more than to use a toy like this for a few months only to then stumble across a fix for something I`ve annoyed myself half to death over.
If such a list already exists, please disregard this post.
N.B: I noticed the sticky list of fixes and tweaks above, just wondered which of these were essential for the basic functions/performance of the handset.

well basicly the X1 just works.
i found my original rom work realy stable but it was also kinda slow. tried some updates and fixes which work but none of them was essential.
flashed a new rom yesterday and i have to say .. wow its like 2 times faster now but also 4x more unstable and acts kinda strange from time to time.
so in short, nothing is needed, all can be done

what rom did u flash to?

Thanks for reply!
But 2x faster, thats kindof a big deal, isn`t it? Especially given that the main letdown of the Xperia (based on the reviews I`ve read) is that it suffers of the typical WM6-lag?
Are there no official OS or ROM-updates from SE (planned or released) that handles these issues? I presume that there`s much potential to unlock just by optimalizing these things?

Touch-IT 2.1
but the Opera is pretty messed up plus it hangs from time to time with no reason (simple task closing seems to be enough)
gonna try 2.2 tonight but i dont have much faith
@Doderlei
non official ROM. just keep in mind that if u flash those none official ones u usualy break something else. it is faster indeed, panel switching doesnt have any lag for me now but i dont use panels anyway. also my vodfone internet connection acts strange. IE works fine but the Opera wont open any site unless i set a proxy. my (hard)keyboard is missing the space key when using putty and so on.

Well I don't tweak my device since I rather don't do these things, try to have my device as clean as possible, and those tweaks are always a bit dangerous - IMO...
But for me ESSENTIAL was to install FlashLite 3.1 and YouTube. That added a lot of functionality.
Also, as well as there are still some email sending problems (WM generally), I installed WM email hotfix, and also ProfiMail mail application.
Also immediatley upgraded Google Maps to 2.3 (original od device: 2.1).

No offense but I don't know how you can claim 2x faster. I have tried all the ROMs here and none seems to feel 2x faster. Even if they were faster, the difference was minimal.

in my opinion if u really want manila kind of interface then only install new rom as manila, tf3d doesn't work in landscape. as Dom said keep it as clean as possible. certain other must do are-
- do all your experiments in begninig of installing or trying apps and then hard reset and clean install all apps which u think u required and working well.
- use cleaning tools like cleartemp req very less memory
- always have backup of device with all settings whenever u feel that your phone is in
best state.spritebackup is recommended.
- separately u may use pim backup utilty for fast backup of pim.
- apply file cache and font cache tweak and clsid tweak as discussed in Martin thread it will significantly imrove speed of x1

i had an official Vodafone germany rom before.
pressing the panel button took me like 2 seconds till something happend. switching a panel took like 3-8 seconds. opening opera took up to 10 seconds and opening webpages was realy slow.
i did some tweaks then (increasing caache, installed SD tuner, etc) and it turn to be a little faster. but still nothing impressive.
believe me if i say that the touch-IT ROM is like 2 times faster. hecks its 4 times faster
but that could be an all messed up Vodafone ROM. and we all know VF tends to mess up ROMs

they do? curses... i ordered mine from the UK, and it said it was vodafone-brand (even though it is unlocked to all networks and carriers). does that mean i oughta flash the ROM to something else ASAP?

vodafone usualy locks features, blocks services, adds own software and so on.
WLAN f.e. didnt work with messenger and a few other services. just so u have a reason to buy their messenger flatrates or web traffic. my n95 had the same problems and most of my other vodafone branded one too. its kinda easy to override those brandings in windows mobile, but its also anoying.
you dont need to flash ur phone, but i have to say ... the touch-it is realy freakin fast. just reflashed cmEX GER and its noticable slower. but its german hehe ^^

If bluetooth randomly shutting off for anyone else? I am running jack's 1.04 lite. Does anyone have this problem with the stock ROM? I mainly just wanted a lite ROM with all the junk and panels removed and some performance tweaks done.

Thanks, I have seen that, but that is not really a fix. It just checks every few minutes and turns BT back on if its off. Bluetooth shouldnt be shutting off in the first place, especially while I am using it. Is this a problem with all ROMs?

Though this may seem strange, annoying, obnoxious...this is actually supposed to be a cool "feature" by HTC -- simulated excessive digit-flipping.
Someone has posted what seems to be a fix for this "feature" on NRG's Photon thread on the rom-development sub-forum.

Some people who have tried it say it works. It didn't work for me...but I'm running a WM6.5.1-based ROM with Manila 2.5, so maybe however this fix works...doesn't work for my system.

I'd love to get rid of this too............. gunna try the "fix" but I am sure I not only don't know how to do it, since I have the newest and latest photon ROM it won't work.

This didn't work for me on the OEM AT&T ROM

You can swipe up to make the large clock away, and show a smaller clock (in portrait view), but then the large clock still shows in landscape. Suggestions for ways around this? There doesn't seem to be a built-in setting to change this. Any quick CABs or reg edits, aside from installing a different clock?

This is a completely different topic. Please create your own thread for that.

Worked for me. NRG's leo rom. Make sure you disable manilla before copying file into windows. Great!!

This clock-flipping thing seems odd to me, because I've never seen it on my own phone (running UK Vodafone stock ROM).
Does this mean I'm likely going to gain this "feature" when I flash a different new ROM (e.g. one of the ones from the chefs here) ?

i tried but it did not work ... demmit !
thought as much but worth a try anyway ... so we keep on searching ...

thanks
that file worked for me.
topaz; wm 6.5 official rus

Worked for me ...... Cheers

Works for me in my latest Manilla 2.1 rom.

as i can see most people comes back negative with this solution.. so do i..
not a good thing this bloody flipping flopping clock.. so will anybody come up with more successful solution on this one? i'll donate for the one who does

My new rom using apps from 202 leo rom and new topaz 2.54​
I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl.

cooking the x1 version now, will most likely come tomorrow

first impression, DEFINATELY faster!!! Thats about all i see right now though lol

the only think i see that i do not like at this point has nothing to do with the rom per se. The mods i was using for manila 1922 no longer work, which is likely expected. exchange seems to work, all apps i ve tried are fast and working. great rom so far.

Great ROM. One thing I noticed, when you are away from your homescreen and press the "home" button, it doesn't go to the home screen with the clock and shortcuts. It only goes back to the manila where you left (ex. stocks, email, etc...) but not to the manila home tab.

What about... the 576 MB RAM hack?

first impression after few tests
Manila and most tools without landscape support
16 GB SDHC didn´t work
settings >> sound missing pocket mode
The rom is fast but does not support the HD2 with all features

I cant enter the domain for my exchange server.

New Stock Tmous Rom NOT so good, Sensitivity dull, Scrolling twitchy - 2.13.531.1

Warning; scrolling is very glitchy and jerky. It may address other problems, but for me it was not even close to being worthwhile. I had the original stock rom reasonably stable and smooth and this is like an amateurish cooked rom. I haven't strayed from stock for reasons of it being so new, and this update is really surprisingly rough. Good luck.
Caveate Update!
note; I went from original stock ROM to this new one, and did hard reset after setup of first flash, in other words, this was totally stock, so can't imagine need for task 29. Other than terribly annoying jerkiness, rom has crashed only once since new rom.
note 2; got new phone May 18: Identical issues, but is definitely more stable.

works great for me

may you doing something wrong

How long did you give the rom to settle? Six hours, 12 hours, 48 hours...15minutes?

See blow....sorry

This is exactly what i felt with my phone after flashing new ROM. So, right away i flashd back my old one.

I gave rom about 2 hours before deciding that it was problematic. Now a day later it is the same. So, if it is being suggested that the rom needs to "settle in" I have given it that chance and it has not changed. Also, I do not see how a rom needs to soak in, beyond the initial setup and things settling down from the install.
I would flash back but I am waiting for replacement, the middle battery pin is bent and loose, so I've not loaded hspl or done any cooked roms. And they are all out of stock locally.

I noticed that the rom does run ****ty, im sure that its the video drivers that need to be changed. the .10 stock version did not jerking issues. this one has both jerk and typing lag. ran it for 2 days now, there is no settling in on roms.

The new rom is awesome. what are you talking about.. maybe you updated the 2.10 and thought it was the new 2.13 lol

New rom runs like ****. How can I revert back to 2.10? Can't take the touch screen sensitivity issue!

Downloaded it direct off tmo, that"s why I quoted full name of file to eliminate any confusion. And, I don't even have any other rom. Would be great if that was problem.
It seemed to speed up today when I removed the sd card but haven't had time to test it. Either way, this rom is mucked up.

Something I worked on this weekend. Some test registry tweaks that really helped the sensitivity issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6505849#post6505849
Post there to let me know what your experience is.

The new ROM is running great for me so far though I had very few issues with the old ROM. Swype's hold for secondary and many texting issues being fixed are the large improvements for me. Sensitivity was my only issue with this ROM though there are registry solutions for that.
After installing a ROM I do a hard reset as prescribed by most tutorials out there. Have the people having issues skipped this step? I guess I have have never NOT done it to see if it really makes a difference. It only adds a minute to the process.
I do some registry edits by default after installing, mostly pertaining to memory allocation. I also install chainfire's video driver patch pretty much right away. This could be helping me as well.
Link to memory tweaks. I do the edits from "suitable for all ROMs" down to "added 11/2/10".

Thanks, I'll give the reg tweaks a shot.

so the new update isnt worth getting?

I'm on the elegancia rom with 2.13 base, wm 6.5.5 version. it's been running nicely
more smooth than kumar's 1.3 rom, which I upgraded from. No issues with glitchy scrolling here. icons on this rom are not for me though. might try official tmo 2.13 some day.

It works really well for me so far. I've had it 4 days.

New, Replacement phone; same
Finally got my phone replaced today. It has the new rom installed already, and it acts exactly like the old one. Really notice the scrolling problem in file manager and settings tab scrolling. Only thing different about this phone is that the reset button under battery cover is yellow, whereas old one was red. Whatever. I will live with the problems until ironed out I suppose.

I don't know what you all are doing, but my HD2 now is much faster than it was using the 2.10 ROM. Using the post below, alleviated the sensitivity issue and downloading memory registry tweak makes everything silky smooth.
