Yeah, there's like something seriously wrong with my device.
Imma start out like every other n00b on here, and just say thanks thanks thanks bla bla bla you guys are great yeah yeah
anyways, i gotta stock-standard HTC Uni, and it's as slow as forrest gump.
Running Tomals v12 64MB beta
It's a really nice ROM. i like it alot, but that aside, it's so freakin' slow
People are like 'oh yeh my uni is running FpseCE so good' but like mine won't even open the start menu. I've done a hard reset, reinstalled all apps to SD, tweaked the registry, overclocked etc and it's almost unusable. like, really unusable. Can summun help me? I'll reward them with a long-lasting forced friendship.
That's not a good ROM to run a 64MB device, it will use too much memory and slow down your device. It's one of the most recent releases, but apart from a few bugs will only run really well if you have a 128MB device.
I would suggest you read about some of the other ROMs that have been cooked and go for one of them. There's no 'best' ROM, although eveyone may have their preference. Try Tomal 9 or Thingonaspring, which I think are both WM6.1 - which runs much better on a 64MB Uni.

Agreed. The ROM was released as a showcase, rather than a working every-day ROM. I have 128Mb device and decided to stick with one of the earlier ROMs. Just flash to something more stable and suitable for 64Mb and you'll be sweet. Some ROMs are faster than others, some will be packed better, some will be clean - so it will depend on your requirements.

Welcome aboard,
Try Tomal WM6.1 versions 8.2, 8.5 or 8.9
Those are great for original 64Mb Uni
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
i'd suggest my wm5 rom but im nowhere near completion, i recently had to restart work on it after a weird bug popped up.
however, swat4s WM5 is the best i've found. it suffers from the same freezing bug, but its worth the speed incease over wm6.
cheers everyone - i'll try some of his previous ones.

I actually ran almost all roms here and returned to my usual O2 rom
I feel that my program memory gets depleted with most roms here
but they do pack some good features
the noticablle ones are
1.more SIM card utils
2.usb hdd
3.few new graphics
doesnt sound that worth it then?
Helmi AKU 3.5 v1.3 is much faster and has a bunch of useful applications built in.
Challenge anyone to prove that the stock AKU is better.
I change my mind
Ivan's AKU test 2 makes all the difference in the world
added to my list ,it also adds on a lot of speed
and a lot of program memory
I guess you must try it to really know the difference

A stock AKU can be made as fast by simply increasing the pagepool. The useful applications or Extra apps from Helmi's ROM can be simply extracted and added to a stock AKU. The stock AKU has definitely less bugs than all the new AKU3 ROMs.
So an advise I can give to any beginner is to stay away from the new AKU3 ROMs until a final release can be made. Unless, you want sleepless nights, then feel free to try the customized ROMs.
The best feature of AKU 3.x is the support for WPA2

Obviously you can add extra apps in stock AKUs. But they arent already in the stock AKUs.
The speed isnt just increased pagepool at all.
-If you think it really is, prove it with benchmarks: stock AKU vs AKU3.5 !!

Why do you prefer AKU 3 ROM when there are a lot of bugs and the never ending memory leaks my friend?
In my own personal experience with the aku 2 and aku 3.2, I noticed that the 3.2 rom to be quicker and snapier. This is my opinion with my mda and jasjar. My mda did have problems with dropping calls but the Universal has far more stable aku3 roms and never had this problem. So far I dont have the memory leaks that I also experienced with my mda. So I'm sticking to this aku3 rom. Also my 4gb Sd card works perfectly with camera apps on Fat32 unlike the stock rom which gave me problems.
help
my xda universal o2 exec is stuck in serial mode. i downloaded the aku 3.2 and the mega tool then i clicked one of the files in the mega tool thats suppose to help run it on the universal and my phone just whent to this mode it says serial at the top and v1.00 at the bottom
I think your bootloader has to be at least 1.01 to upgrade to 3.2 rom.

Okay, let me say first that you have won our little banter having spelled 'friedn' correctly.
However, I must say that I havent found any memory leaks in Helmi's aku3.5 v1.3 despite the reports of some others. But thats my own experience so far since its release.
It really has been considerably faster both in boot up and running than previous aku versions I have tried.
There are some bugs, its true. The only one I have encountered is that I cant get an internet connection using the 'hayes compatable' modem feature any more. But Im not sure if its due to a bug or due to me forgetting the settings. Other than that, I havent come across any others, though one or two are recognised.

We are all friends here, but this is my experience. I have about close to 70 apps installed in my 4GB SD Card formatted to FAT32 and 16 apps to my internal memory. Now all works 100% as it should be on the stock ROM. Something which I can't achieve in any AKU3 ROMs that had been released. I have no memory leaks, again something that I have always experienced with the AKU3 ROMs especially after I have installed a lot of apps. Now to me, if a ROM can't support that many apps to run without any hitch or problems, then there is a problem with stability. So, I was just curious why you stated that AKU3 ROMs are better. I hope I did not make you feel antagonized by any of my post, I was just curious.
Yes, boot-up is slower in official AKU2 ROM, but I had my device set to perform an automatic reset after a backup at 5am so it is ready to go when I wake up and cleared of any junk to be be used for the day. To me boot-up time is not important as I have no need to soft reset in the middle of the day, unless testing a new app.
When I test any ROM, even the elluded XXXXXbow, I start from scratch with nothing installed and install and check each app one by one and watch the stability of the ROM to run the app.
hey guys, I'm new here and was browsing around and noticed a few options for custom roms. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for my needs. I currently enjoy the htc touch's os with the spb mobile shell minus the lagging. i have a feeling there is a custom rom out there that i will enjoy better. i am looking for much faster performance as first priority and cool gadgets as second. Any suggestions?

I think NFSFAN's roms are the best out there. He has a 6.1 and a 6.5. I don't know if it really speeds WinMo up (it's been a looong time since I ran my stock ROM to compare it to) but it's as fast as I need it to be.
Of course, I don't find myself using WinMo much at all anymore. As you may have noticed, there's a lot of threads here about running Android on the Vogue. You can run it without flashing your phone, and the only thing really missing at the moment is Bluetooth, but that's being worked on.

The Hero builds are cool to use and show off. Although, the full builds tend to run pretty slow on the phone for everyday use. People do use the Lite Hero builds with lots of success.
You could also try mssmision's Rogers build which people have reported liking also.
I would personally recommend using the latest Ion build or one of the Hero themed Ion builds. They run perfectly fast as if it was meant for this phone and are more or less fully stable.
big screen what can i say..
however, recently it is starting to hang...
usually when trying to unlock..
and it became slower..
any idea why?

the video and camera belongs to the bin too...
camera has almost 0 functionality and video is choppy and blur...
can tweaks?
thanks buddy
do u have any custom roms on it? i personally expected the performance to be better when i had the stock rom. but then after flashing a while, i love the blackstone.. so try custom roms maybe untill u find one that gives u the performance that u like on it.
i do not have a custom rom.. was afraid of stability /security problems.. do they really make the hd faster?
Yeah really do they make hd faster?If yes which one is the best for normal usage??
The ROM:s here @ xda are the main reason I did not sell/scrap my HD long ago. With stock ROM, I think this unit is slow, ugly and just bad.
Look around, a lot of ROM:s here are sooo much faster than stock. I promise you will never go back.
For the best speed experience, I recommend using a 6.1 ROM with 2.1 Manila. I can not point out any speficic one obvious, take a look in the charts already suplied in the ROM part of this forum.
I am using a win 6.5 ROM for the moment, but speed is a bit lower.
Good luck!
try using a wm 6.5 based energy rom 2.1 manila
it will change ur whole outlook of ur hd........

I agree. The stock rom is a piece of Sh*t. After swapping to a custom ROM, you'll never look back. Don't be disheartened if you get one with glitches. Just keep trying different ones until you are happy with one.
The first couple of times it may seem slow and cumbersom changing ROM's but after a while you realise how easy it really is. Just remember to backup important data first.
Good luck
seriouslly even if i use a latest stock rom?

Haha you're a senior member here but you don't get it. Custom roms on XDA is the reason why I choose HTC and windows mobile. I used to hate windows mobile alot, but once I found out about its portability, customizing my phone has been my hobby. Thanks to XDA, the crappy old hermes I had made my friends jealous.
On why folks like these guys here can make a better rom than htc, you have to flash one to find out. I once read an article from mircosoft that reads something like this "microsoft cant live with XDA-devs, but at the same time, can't live without them".
Try one but make sure u follow the steps especially the Olinex part. Good luck

I own WinMo devices since HTC Wallaby. I am not very long with HD, just recently bought it.
My Opinion WinMo is like Windows on your desktop, after while it gets slower and slower and Reformat (hard reset) is the best thing to do to bring it back.
I also would suggest you to use one of the cooked ROMs here. Again my Opinion W6.5 is eye candy and my own experience is that is not that Stable, and fast as WinMo 6.1 ROMs. Furthermore I really don’t see jet the major usability improvement in 6.5
I am business user and I need a very stable Device. I flashed with this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537948 very happy with it
hahaha good one bout me being senior..
yes i know .. i just dont understand why the companies themselves dont strive to make the best one lol
and for the rom..
yes buddy i used the same as u ...3.55 but how do i get the usual start menu back..
Again most 6.5 roms are very stable now and are ready for everyday use, if you are after a fast rom that is similar to your default rom, try Topix 2.9.2, it is currently the fastest ROM running 6.1 according to speed tests = Search the forums for performance tests.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/touch-hd/best-rom-for-htc-touch-hd.html
You will be more than happy flashing the latest 6.5 roms, just make sure you don't get any manila 2.5/2.6 roms as people have previously expressed they are still not as stable as the 2.1 roms.
Research, read and flash which rom you feels best suits your needs, or looks the nbest etc. In the end not everyone has same tastes, so you may find that you flash a few roms before settling on one you really like. By then you will probably have become a flashaholic like everyone else. Either way you'll have a better phone.

Hey all!
Is it at ALL possible to either flash the ROM from the Touch Pro II or find a way to install Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1 onto the HTC HD2? I NEED stability in my ROM and this is what I really want to try.
I know I've been asking a lot of questions on this site regarding this phone, but I want you all to know I truly value your answers and your help.
Thank you guys!
Well have you tried the ROMs that are known to be stable? Theres quite a few..
Also maybe try titanium (windows default) if you're looking for simple, basic stability.
I have. I've tried four or five and they just get to be too slow. I like the Windows Mobile 6.5.5 builds but they just get to be laggy at times, and for a phone with a 1GHz processor I'd expect a whole lot more.
I don't know, I was just wondering what 6.0 or 6.1 would operate like on the HD2. That or find SOMETHING that's very quick and very stable.
Try Dutty's cdlc or UnOff.. What are you using the phone for? (work, eye-candy, both?)
I'm not sure about 6.1, can't see why anyone would want that on this device.
BTW, nice location just a few miles away from me..
Oh WOW! You ARE close to me! Haha, 253! Neat
I really want to use it for multimedia and texting first and foremost. After that I really just want to use it for internet browsing and photo uploading. Well, MMS capabilities are a must too.
After messing around with the ROMs I did, I jusst started to panic about making the wrong choice on the phone. I had hoped I didn't, however I want to take FULL advantage of the processor speed and the RAM. Definitely. Problem is, nothing works! AGH!
I'm currently using UnOff... and texting is still god-awful.
Have you tried Swype? Its a dream to work with once you get to know it. In fact, the reccord for txting was recently broken with Swype! I use Energy rom (The "unstable" 6.5.5 ver) and I do need to reboot the phone about once a week, but thats still a LOT less then my 6.1 Tilt. You really REALLY dont want to go back too 6.1, trust me. The OS does not have a lot of features needed for good use of the hardware in the HD2.
P.S. Woodinville and work in Redmond. Seattlites stick togeather!

I'll try the UnOFF ROM again, or even an Energy ROM. I just want this to work and I'm sure you all understand why
Thank you guys for all your help! I'll let you all know what happens.
I would suggest either the Miri 17.6 rom which is very stable and fast and has great eye candy or VBN rom series. I currently running VBN and it's great. Very stable, no crashes, fast. I think you would like either one of them. They are both located on the Euro HD2 rom side, not the TMOUS HD2. Both are compatible with 576 ram and 1gig storage. Check them out.

CruzerHD rom
What you are looking for is the CruzerHD rom my friend. Super fast, stable, and very very slim on memory (only 35mb used after flash).
Rom is not about eye candy but about speed/performance. You add what you want yourself.

wow! there are a lot of washingtonians here! my mom and sister were born in WA, and i lived in Lacey for most of my grade school years. I almost became a Husky but decided i'd rather do grad school there and hopefully work for MS someday... Thats the dream anyways...
But, back on topic. I dont believe 6.0/1 is possible because the HD2's HAL is not compatible with with any 6.0 devices. basically, you'd have to re-write all the drivers in the Hardware Abstraction Layer so that they can talk with the 6.0 ROM. its the same reason WinPhone7 will probably never make it to our phones. ya see, there are no "generic" drivers for phones. thats why only phone with similar hardware can share ROMs.
i say use kumars ROM. its my personal fav
Man I know how OP feels, I was looking for a ROM & flashed Energy & it works like a dream! But now that I have Froyo 2.2 on here I hardly ever switch off of Android. It totally lives up to the hype!

hi guys. so in the last few days i've been messing around with Android/NAND and i have to say somethings are still problematic...
my main rom that i tried which somewhat worked great (and even had arabic files for it) is the HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1 ROM. This is a great ROM however its very very sluggish and slow at booting/doing anything ... it is a nightmare to wake up the HD2 when its in sleep and there are these two to four seconds of "pausing" it has. [edit: i am starting to blame the Class 4 8GB microSD here. i'll have to change it and report]
so i got bored and decided what the he** let me try WP7... i have to say WP7 with its limitations is very smooth on the HD2.. the animations which i wish the android has are really smooth and fluid.
this is not to say i am sticking wp7 on my beloved hd2.. i am just asking the most basic questions here:
Can I find a ROM thats quick, supports the arabic libskia* files or has them compiled to work and still be quick?

a) Post in the correct section, you are not a dev and this topic is not development.
b) Dont post silly topics, "good", "best", "stable" etc etc etc are all subjective terms and differs from device to device and person to person, go try some roms and make your own decision like we do.
