Custom ROM's lagging

I've installed three different custom roms (Dutty, Miri and Touch-IT (Latest versions)) on my HD2 and they all lag.
For example:
- When animating the weather the animation stops for about half a second the moves a bit and stops again.
- When scrolling through the tabs in Sense it also lags at random (no particular tab) and continues after about a second.
It's like this with everything from menu's to emails.
Does anyone know what's causing this, or more important how it can be fixed?
I'm currently running a stock rom:
OS: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.404.1 (76641) NLD
ROM Date: 01/04/10
Radio: 2.06.51.07

I take it you've done a hard reset after flashing a ROM?
Might be worth going back to a stock ROM and see if that does it too

yes, currently i'm running the stock rom without any problems.

I've just tried installing an older version of duttys and miri without success.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

have you got HSPL on the device?

Look in the MTTY thread. This might help you solve your problem. I also have issues with the new ROMs ( HERE )but unfortunately the MTTY didn't help me.

Yes I have, I have installed over 10 different rom's already. But the problem just keeps coming back.

do you hard reset the phone immediately after flashing? what radio do you use?
from my experience no stock rom can compare with any of the customs i've tried so far.

just make sure when you do Mtty do not flash any official rom, but the custom rom you want to use. because flashing mtty then official rom then custom rom defeats the purpose of having mtty in the first place.

Also there have been a lot of reports with problems due to 16gb cards.

I have tried a hard reset immediately after flashing but that doesnt change anything.
My radio version with the newest roms is: 2.06.51.07
Currently I am using Duttys Leo Multi-Lang 1.8 NLD and the radio version is: 2.06.50.04
I am using the standard 2 GB card that came with the phone. I've also tried without it and without my simcard.

Strangely, it's only downloadable from the Htcpedia and I couldn't find it on the HTC WEB site itself. Htcpedia doesn't provide any explanations, so I'd wait with this installation.

It's strange that it doesn't appear on HTC's site.
The update from HTC issued 25/01/2010 is called:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
This update is called:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
Looking at the numbers it's just this that's changed
2.06.51.07 > 2.07.51.22_2
Is this not the radio version?

seems to be a bit too large for just a radio update?!

It's the full ROM, but the only difference seems to be the radio version.

mh maybe the manila is updated ?

It is just the same full ROM with newer RADIO.

it cant be that 'official' as it does not appear on the HTC website. but i'm very intrigued to say the least.

w8 for it

I am not too keen on flashing the full Rom and losing all my data for a new radio, might just flash a radio from the SD card, unless there is a bigger update like the manilla or something.

same problem here

I have flashed this ROM to see exactly what is and isn't changed.
The only 2 things that have changed are:
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version: 15.32.50.07U
Everything else (OS, Manila, ROM, Date) are exactly the same versions as in the update released in January by HTC.

So, is this radio a better one?
I've downloaded this update also and noticed a strange thing: the RUU_signed.nbh file from the package was created on the Feb 11th, 2010.
That means that HTC since that time hasn't officially published it.
Maybe it is some kind of beta/test version.

I'm not sure if the radio is any better, I'll try phoning my girlfriend tomorrow and let you know!

we will have to wait for a long time (Europe) to get a new manila version.
a friend got his new HD2 last week, it was shipped with a new Rom version
2.02.531.MASD(s) GER
but still with the old manila version...
Don´t even know if HTC will ever give this update to everyone...

The radio seems about the same for calls, the volume is still very high even on lowest setting. Also the problem with female voices still seems to happen sometimes.

That radio has been available for a long time in the radio ROM section. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and it has cut down some of the crackling that I have been experiencing. The battery life is good too.

I am not sure it has been available, unless I am missing something...
There are two radios with 2.07 versions, but, I think they are different from one that is coming with this ROM.
Here are the 2.07 radios from the ROM section:
Leo_RADIO_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27 **
Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **
And here we have a different one:
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U

This could be unrelated, but my Push Email doesn't seem to be working correctly with this update.
Is anyone else having issues?

[HELP] Need some advise on where to go with my HD2

Hi guys,
Right Ive had my HD2 since the start of the year and due to time/commitments ive not really done a lot with it, now quite simply I have a few applications which I use a fair bit, namely CoPilot ... anyhow Ive seen there is an update on the HTC website to ROM 1.72.206.3 and was looking at starting a fresh with this ROM.
Now before I go ahead and do this, is there a better ROM/Radio combo? my current specs are ...
OS - 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila - 2.5.19202525.0
ROM - 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROMD - 11/06/2009
Radio - 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol - 15.26.50.07U
Currently on a contract with O2 UK ... so really what Im after, if this was your phone what steps would you do? e.g. ROM, Radio and any must do enhancements/installs
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have an O2 phone and it also came with 1.43 ROM. I tried the latest 1.72 ROM, it was a bit better but I think half of this is the imagination/expectation that is should be, rather than actually being so (though there are two or three 'genuine' fixes there too).
I have been mostly recommending this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612580
It made such a big difference I stopped looking at radio versions and registry tweaks. The S2U2 lock app is quite useful though, once you've customised its settings as desired.
I installed it using SSPL method BTW.

Have you got any issues that make you think "I'm going to bin this thing if it happens again"?
I've not bothered with the upgrade as if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Before anyone *****es, the only issue that is apparent on my device, the SMS lagging, isn't exactly an issue to me. I see it more as a reminder to clear the crap out of the inbox!

Recommended software/firmware for newly debranded phone

What are the recommended patches, downloads, ROMs (I don't really understand many of the terms Radio etc and can't find anywhere on here that puts it into layman's terms) etc for a stable, nice looking Touch HD that's easy to use?
Current details are:
Operator version: 34.119.1.611
ROM version: 1.19.61.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/25/08
Radio version: 1.14.25.24
Protocol version: 52.64.25.34U
Windows is v6.1
Thanks.

a Rom is basically the operating system on your device. You can compare flashing a rom to installing windows on your PC.
You could try flashing a rom with windows mobile 6.5. I recommend Kwbr's rom with Manilla 2.1 if you want speed. This rom has TouchFlo3D just like the rom you are using now. If you want your device to look like the HD2 you could try a rom with Sense 2.5. bear in mind that Sense2.5 can be a bit slow, since it was designed for a phone with twice the speed of our blackstone.
You can find the Kwbr thread here
If you want to flash a rom, you should start by reading this

Thank you for the info and recommendations. The Manila is probably the one I'd use.
Cheers.

[Q] Android on stock HTC ROM?

Hey,
Just wondering if anyones tried running Android on a stock HTC ROM?
I'm thinking of re-flashing the original Windows Mobile ROM and seeing if it will be able to launch Android from SD Card?
I've heard someone say it has been known to work?

I will be tonight when I finish work
Thought i'd ask ahead just in case anything I need to know. I want to have the stock ROM just because everything works on it and battery life is pretty good, but then can have Android to play around on

I am just using Android on my Stock Rom for the last 20 days.
Its working fine but the problem is instability in the Working of Android.
I have tried all the versions with different Radio versions.
Among them the best suit is Shubcraft1.4d the latest one and Radio version 2.11.50.20

I've been running Android on my "original" stock TMOUS ROM for about 3 full weeks now. At first, I ran Android with the stock 2.08 radio for about 4 days. For some reason, I rebooted my device and I was never able to get Android to run successfully again. I kept getting WSOD during boot-up and BSOD when trying to wake from sleep.
Finally, I flashed my radio to 2.12, and I've had absolutely no problems. I've seen many complaining that the stock TMOUS ROM causes problems, but I think it has more to do with radio, zImage, and build combinations than WinMo ROMs.
Good luck

just loaded android on stock 1.48.707.2 rom but with updated radio 2.12 version seemed to work o.k but froze a bit here and there seemed useable apart from the crashes

hmm, think tonight i will reflash to stock rom from HTC and then try radio 2.10 as per person further up, try it with various builds then maybe try radio 2.12... i will post my results within the next several hours

I think there are also differences between TMOUS and our European ROMS. Especially because of the Radios. I thought about Flashing back to complete Stock ROM SPL, etc. That way I could never get any problems with the warranty etc. I will try it when I find time.

I tried on the stock ROM and sadly everytime Android would go through the initial boot it would just display some text in the top left, then stop, then the text would slowly "fade" from bottom right to top left and the backlight of the screen remains lit but the phone hangs with nothing displayed
I've now put on the phone:
Windows Mobile ROM: Elegancia E-CHT ROM
Android Version: Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense
Radio: 2.11.50.20
I've put a shortcut to CLRAD.exe and HaRAT.exe on my home screen on WinMo. Now I can use Windows Mobile for stability and battery life and working Wi-Fi Tethering etc, but can boot into android for games, apps, smooth interface and most of all, bragging rights(can now ram it into my friends with iPhones faces)
While i'm here now i've changed my set up completely, i'll explain what its like
With this set up, i've found the phone is some wait smoother, the screen still freezes but not for as long as before.
I've found sometimes the interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish but not enough to be a problem
I've called speaking clock and the voice was very clear
Overall very happy and now have the best of Android and the best of Windows Mobile

On my normal WinMo Rom I've used for quite some time now (some weeks before trying the first Android build) everything runs without freezes etc. So far 1 SOD and 2 freezes without a visible reason. And I'm running mainly Android for 5 weeks now. So it seems I was quite lucky to have an Android compatible ROM without having to flash some stripped down ROM. The only thing I'm missing in my ROM are fast boot times but those can be improved by disabling Sense.

I use stock ROM 1.66 ELL but Radio changed to 2.12 (with stock radio didn't work)
I have tried several Android builds and all works as supposed to work.

I have been testing all the Android versions using stock 1.66 WWE (just updated radio) with no problems at all. I have never used a custom WM ROM on my HD2, and have found Android to be on a par with what others have reported. Now running Mattc + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b with no problems so far.

I use stock ROM SVE 1.66 but radio changed to 2.10. I have been testing several builds and they all have worked ok.
The best build for me has been: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

well, i have 1.48 wwe stock rom, never had any issues with any of the android builds...only changed my radio to 2.08.50..
i suggest darkstone's builds..either the hd2froyo or the froyostone series......no issues whatsoever

Yeah maybe it was my combination of radio/build. I'm now using the Mattc Leo Froyo build and the Elegencia ROM and isn't too different from the stock ROM and has most of the apps still installed

No problems running on stock tmoble 1.72 rom just had to update radio to one ending in 50

I’m a newbie at this so apologies if I confuse rather than help.
I bought my HD2 off eBay so don’t know if it’s been flashed or not. I didn’t attempt to flash or change the radio version myself just in case I brick it!! I scared like that
I am currently using ShubCRAFT 1.4d_1GB (hard reset and switched Sense off in WM for quicker boot) and it works perfectly, good battery life and fast .
WM Software details:
OS version: 5.2.2189
Manila version: 2.5.20113626.0
ROM version: Miri HD2 ROM – V4.0 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.50.27_2
To answer your question, and given the above are the standard versions, yes you can run android on ur standard HTC HD2 thanks to the awesome developers.

I am using a windows mobile stock ROM (1.66.405.2) with radio version 2.12.50.02 and mattc leo + froyo w/sense 1.6b Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70. I have had no problems with wifi, 3g, sound, or calls. Everything works fine and pretty good battery life and quite stable.

Yours isn't a stock ROM! You have bought your HD2 with a flashed ROM on it.

Thank you Raudi1
I bucked up the courage to install a new radio after I submitted my post, and in the process realised that it had HardSPL on it already! which one of you sold me your 'touched' HD2!?
So I updated my radio version to 2.12.50.02_2 - yes I'm proud
