Hi all, i have a stock HD2 with the following specs:
OS version: 5.2.21869
Manila version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.66.405.2 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
protocol version: 15.32.50.07U
so I installed cookies home tab 1.8.5 as i've heard its a dam sight faster and more stable than the standard sense UI. but for some reason it reguarly restarts Sense and crashes even more than stock. does anyone have any idea why this might be?
should i install an older version or leave it to stock sense UI?
cant say ive ever had any such problems with cht when I used to use a stock rom and that same version of manila.....
your best bet might be to search /postin the cht thread....
I do a hard reset before I install a new version of CHT. I think this helps avoid any conflicts with anything that may have been installed before. I've never had any problems with CHT using this method.
i've posted it in the home tab thread so will wait for some response. the hard reset is a good idea as i have installed things like duttys task manager etc which may conflict.
tbh i havent had any major problems with stock sense, i just heard really good things about cht
I had exactly the same problems after upgrading from CHT 1.8 (the first version I installed) to 1.8.5: Sense crashed and restarted very often, and it often took about 10 seconds for the phone to respond when turning it on.
Recently, something broke completely (start menu and text input didn't work, programs would never come to the foreground with Sense running) and I had to hard reset. Not 100% sure it was caused by CHT but it was the only thing running more or less unstable on my phone. Now I'm waiting for the next version before I reinstall CHT. I heard Cookie found some possible causes for crashes and will remove them.
thanks mate think thats what i'm going to do as well because i find sense fine but CHT would be a bonus if it was stable, lets wait for v2.0 then eh?
I've read about people having good luck with cht 1.7 when running stock ROMs. Maybe you should try that one until cht gets an update.
I´m also on stock ROM 1.66 GER and run CHT 1.6 now for half a year without problems.
I installed CHT 1.8 the very day it was available for download, had some crashes, hard-resetted, installed CHT 1.6 newly and stuck to CHT 1.6 till now. Less features than 1.8.x, less screens, no mod-lock-screen, but runs fast and fine now for 6 months.
Maybe You revert to CHT 1.6 too and wait some months until CHT 1.8.x is flawless ..............
CooKie is a genious and without CHT I would have thrown away my HD2 already but also geniousses need time to perfect their apps and CHT grew so complex with the time and versions that it is impossible to prevent flaws in the program code since it interacts with so many hard- and software-protocols of Sense and WinMo that I sometimes wonder how he can do that in his spare time and offer us a software-package FOR FREE that is UNBEATEN.
Maybe the core-problem is that Sense and WinMo themselves have flaws which CooKie cannot overcome.
cheers for the advice mate, i will however wait for a new release and give that a go

I have the identical Software you have and have absolutely no issues with
CHT 1.8.5
I would suggest it is something else you have installed or the way you installed it.
I had a few lock-ups within a couple of hours of each other when I had CHT 1.8.5 (with CHT editor) for a few days, removed it and not had a lock-up since.
i had problem here since i installed cookie home editor 1.8.5.whenever i use wifi for internet connection or update the weather it always shows connection error.can any1 tell me why this is happening to me?or u guys too had faced the problem

I'm pretty sure that the weather update uses cell tower info to work so I don't think it ever works over wifi.
I've had same problem with stock ROM WWE 1.66 and CHT 1.8.5. Righ now I am on Duttys ROM, which has newer WM version and lock screen from other device and it works together just fine.
I think the problem was Lock screen in CHT 1.8.5, because the crashes and sence restarts where often after unlocking phone. Try to dissble CHT lockscreen functionality, I hope it helps

have any one found a STABLE ROM that thay used for 2-3 days without soft reset ?
im trying to find most stable ROM possible, preferably 6.5.3 or above, but the one i can trust not to hang for 2,3 days of hard core use as Music Player, Web Browser and Online connection to MSN/Skype for 24Houers.
with or without HTC Sence.
at the moment im not that concern about performance as any rom is still faster then my old treo pro lol
yup, a stock one.
I´m using the official one and no problems.
1.48 or 1.66 ? if 1.48 then why not 1.66 ?

You should try the Official 1.66.405.2 WWE ... it's most stable ROM for daily usage... it's included all the fixes from HTC ... so there is no problem... try it
just installed 1.66 ... installing all the soft i use, just installed Smaberg White 1 percent battery thing that makes % appear above the battery, now i have little black square next to it... but i guess that a different issue

In my opinion.... if you use the official ROM... just install BsB Tweaks and then it's fine...
Hi,
Where can I find "Install BsB Tweaks"
Thanks

will try that soon prob on Monday, i been using freyberry Premium_nomess V6 or whatever the latest one is, for a while (i hate HTC messaging) but it hangs occasional especially over night, i have to do a soft reset every morning for some reason which make it useless as alarm clock (although i have suspicion it maybe due to someting i install or combination of stuff i install coz no one else seems to have that problem)
but i kinda need HTC Album (facebook uploading) i guess its not in bearbone so i will try WMPhone version or something

Dutty's HG V.08. actually in HD2 i never get stuck..
Two weeks without a softreset that's thruly amazing especially
if you consider that WM 6.5.5 is not official and beta.
No mather which rom I use but everyday I do a softreset, kind of a habbit.
Currently I'm using the 2.07 T-Mob.
@Vladimir, no offence but I don't think you can open a thread like this and pick a rom based on the experiences people tell you here.
I think you need to test yourself as everyone has a different use/experience with a rom.
Just my 2 cents

I'm using MIRI's 6.5 ROM.
I have found it to be completely stable. I have to avoid 6.5.x ROMs 'cos Memory Map doesn't work properly on them.
The stock ROM is stable, but it's a mess! They should have included a way to tidy the cluttered start menu. Things are improved by installing BSB Tweaks.
IMHO there is no such thing as the perfect ROM!
There are number of factors to consider that can effect the overall stabilty of a ROM be it stock or cooked, a ROM that one person might find it to be flawless, the other might have issues, remember not all bugs are ROM related so consider the following points:-
- The 3rd party apps you use
- The network you are on
- The radio version you use or combination of the radio & rom
I'm currently using stock 1.66 ROM not that it's the best but it's been the most stable for my apps and daily use!
One thing that frustrates me is the lack of constructive feedback you get from people flashing various stock or cooked ROM's it's allways comments like "This ROM is very fast and stable" or "this the best ROM I've tried" what's funny is that you get these comments when they've only used the ROM for couple of hours or in some cases just 5 minutes!!!!
IMHO you must use the ROM for at least couple of days if not a week and once you've installed all your apps then you can establish how good the ROM is in your daily use only then you should give your feedback so that others can have a better idea of how the ROM really performs!!!
I like the interface and ui in RSS Hub, but man it crashes like crazy for me. I'm running Kumars 2.0 rom and everything else is rock solid. I have a support ticket in with Ilium the makers but is anyone else having this crash on them constantly.
It will freeze up or get stuck and the button turns green etc...
I have tried YoYo and some others but cannot seem to find a satisfactory replacement. Any other suggestions?
Just started with me today. Energy ROM 5-16
i pissed my pants laughing when i read the title.
try doing a fresh install of the rom, i've never had that problem with RSS hub, but it did hang on me from time to time
but it would resume to normal operation, never had to end task

hi, I'm also having tis problem of rss hanging and then it would disapper into the background and i will have to soft reset my hd2 in order to get rss back on. I've had.tis prob on the merlion and a
artemis ROMs.even the stock 1.66 ROM has tis issue! what is wrong?
So to follow up I did converse with someone at Ilium the company that wrote RSSHub. Its actually an issue not with RSSHub but the custom roms. In versions 6.5.3 & 6.5.5 you will have stability problems using the current version. If you go back to the shipped rom or even 2.13 the crashes will go away... they will just be small pauses. I'm running the 2.13 version and have verified this.
So in my mind there are really two issues one with the custom 6.5x roms and small pauses in RSSHub. Still haven't found an ideal solution, just using stock for now.
Any alternative RSS reader that's as good as RSS Hub? I have this same issue with the 6.5 roms.
I totally agree!

Hello there.
i'm newbie here and would like to ask your recommendation.
i'm using htc touch pro 2 (T7373) and when first bought it, it was preinstalled with WinMo 6.5 official roms WWE Asia.
after few weeks, i found that Winmo6.5 is sluggish and feel like to downgrade to winmo6.1 and resulted me to download and flash the winmo 6.1 Asia wwe rom.
with that, i'm happy since it is faster than 6.5, no lagging issue, sms also smooth. but 2 things i missed much are home weather tab and twitter/peeps application.
is there any option for me to install those thing into my device. i wish that i can have twitter tabs in my touch flo 3d and also, the home screen displaying our current location and weather.
the existing weather can only accomodate preset location and not a real time location.
any helps will be much appreciated and sorry for my local english.

I think the advanced features you want are only available in the 6.5 (or 6.5.x) ROM. You might try flashing a newer ROM. Since you are flashing WWE, you might try the latest NRG ROM - it is really excellent, and based on the latest software from MS.
I've been using Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail on my Blackstone for a few months and I love it, in normal use it is fast and stable(i dont remember the last soft reset), but randomly the file system on the device will appear to become corrupted, files cannot be accessed, other wierd stuff happens. the only way to get it working again is a hard reset
can anyone suggest another ROM which uses WM6.5 & sense 2.1 (or 2.5) that is as quick and stable as the one i am using, this hard reset business is quite annoying.
I'm looking for somthing similar to the rom i am using now, I am not fussed about pre installed software, but the selection on Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail is pretty much spot on!
Edit: Ideally i would prefer one of the later releases of Opera 9.x instead of Opera 10.

I was getting bored with my phone Rom and also wanted to sort out a **** up Id made while trying to update Google (which was baked into the Rom)
Last weekend I went from one of Duttys Roms to KWBR's:
http://media.celogeek.com/roms/kwbr/Kwbr_HD_5.7_Sense.rar
I also installed Cookies Home Tab
I've had no problems so far, and I now love my phone again.
Despite having this phone for over a year and a half, I've given up the idea of upgrading it any time soon.
I've just checked and its running Opera 9.7
I've attached a screenshot of my current home screen.
Thanks Don.
I installed this ROM last night and it seems pretty good, i've noticed that it is slightly choppy when you use the full screen weather walpapers, also for some reason now i am unable to use BBC Iplayer mobile, which did work perfectly with the Dutty ROM.
There are a few things that this ROM has which i prefer over Dutty's, mainly the text size can go smaller than in duttys.
with a bit of luck this rom wont suffer from the same problems with the files on the device corrupting. if so then the loss of iplayer and slightly choppy weather animation are a small price to pay.
i highly recommend not using sense 2.5 for balckstone. (no disrespects to devs) i have mine on kenia1234 ROM with wm6.1 which is meant to be faster, but now my clean sense 2.5.2015 is slow... i am no flash junky, i use my phone for important calls text , and it is practically unsuable. i will stick to sense 2.1 or touchflo 3d!
Hi all !
I have and HD2 with windows mobile with dutty v23 rom and CHT 2.0.0 and when I use CHT the flip clock animation is very buggy as sometimes there is no scrolling but I got this situation :
as you can see the animation got buggy with the clock flipping "halfway".
in the picture only the "hour" got buggy and not the minutes because I haven't been able to capture it on time. Anyway this happens many times and I would like to solve this to have working animation, any suggest ?

Hola, I remember very well this picture Haven´t you also posted this SAME issue with your flip clock back in november in CHT Thread and you have been advised that this is NON CHT related but is directly linked to other customizations installed on your device. Please stop flaming or blaming CHT for this
well actually I reposted this becuase I haven't solved the problem and I actually had kind of a conversion with who substain that this wasn't related to cht, anyway I had tried to use my phone just after flesh with nothing installed expet for cookie and the problem was still there, I have also pass my cht configuration file to the hd2 of a friends ( that was just been fleshed so nothing installed on it ) and I got the same result.
Honeslty I don't know if this is related to my configuration in cookie editor or if it's a bug inside cookie home tab, anyway it's related with one of those. Also don't misunderstand me, cht is one of the greater program for windows mobile, I don't want to flame it, I'm just tring to figure it out how to solve this bug...
i use cht in all the dutty rom, from v15 to v25 without problems
i have changed the taskbar with a my personalized taskbar
i change the clock and other setting and all work correctly

@light_n_roses:
only one question: why you are the only one who has this strange issues. Hundreds of users are working without this issue. Also when there are three or ten users with the same issue, everytime when we advise to install it fresh with a rom where CHT is not cocked in, the system is running. And when you are so tired about all this. Why you use allways CHT?
So i repeat my question :
You can send me a text file where you have written down what you have installed in which way and which other things are installed on which rom from which cook on which phone, step by step. I will do the same test. When i have the same issues i will solve this issue. When i have no issues then i can't help you but i have done my work. So send me all files please, or upload it to megaupload or i will give you a link to my dropbox. Where is the problem for you?
You ask for help, when we say please check this or this, you start to blame CHT, but when we ask you to help us, so as here in this moment, you do nothing only talking. To help you with your issue to find a way out of this we need at 1st your help. PM me when you need the link to upload the files, otherwise please stop to blame CHT.

the fact that a lot of people do not have this problem I think is related to 2 facts : first the vast major of people that use cht, hard customize their home page while I use it to restore original htc look, indeed I believe that this bug comes out when I modified the quicklinks page number on 3x3 as when I tried my customization files on the hd2 of my frieds the bug cames out and he said me that this doesn't happen when 4x4 pages was on.
The second fact is the option that enable "original flip clock animation" inside cookie editor.
And BTW:
the screenshot isn't from the original dutty rom. It is modded with a taskbar cab .

like I said you just talk aganst me without know nothing, I have already pointed out that I do not use that taskbar anymore and that I have tried to use cookie home tab after a flesh and with NO PROGRAM INSTALLED EXPEPT FOR COOKIE HOME TAB AND COOKIE EDITOR and the bug was there, so what I have installed or not is not relevant !!
