CAUTION !!!
- USE THIS TOOL AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
- Overclocking your cpu may damage your device.
- Before autostarting the app be sure that your device will not hang.
- backup is always recommended !!DESCRIPTION :
WiMoSpeed lets you change the CPU-speed. In opposite to other tools, even to the predecessor OverClockTool (OCT), it manipulates the values WM uses for clock control. So it works reliable on battery and AC without any scripting or active components.USAGE :
- Download and install the CAB
- Start WiMoSpeed.exe. If it reports that it cannot identify your ROM: post here
- Select Speed
- Set Speed
- If desired create link (in installation directory) with actual settings
- Exit WiMoSpeed.exeTECHNIQUE
Basically WiMoSpeed is hardware-independent, because it lets WM change clock speed. But I couldn't get WM to switch the clock reliable on request so WiMoSpeed had to switch the clock registers itself on setting a new speed.
Therefore WiMoSpeed depends on CPU-hardware, RADIO- and OS-ROM.
Raising or lowering cpu speed didn't change battery drain or device temperature noticeable. So there isn't dynamic clocking in WiMoSpeed, but WM is still controlling and changing cpu-speed on battery.LIMITATIONS
WiMoSpeed supports Qualcomm MSM7200 (and compatible) and is limited to Rhodium and RhodiumW ROMs by now.
I took all shipped roms I could get and included the information into WiMoSpeed.
!!! If WiMoSpeed could not identify your ROM please post here what part of your ROM WiMoSpeed couldn't identify (OEMXIP and / or RADIO-ROM) and include a download-link of your ROM (OS, RADIO) !!! Thank you.
I will include Topaz ROMs next.thanks to

I know OCT can be used with Topaz, because it has the same CPU as the Rhodium, but WiMoSpeed 1.00 is not recognizing the ROM my Topaz is using: Standard Energy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942).
More details at the signature.
Must add that WiMoSpeed is a great project! Best wishes for it.
Just installed it on my Tilt2. I was able to get to 768 MHz (up from 748 MHz I reached with OCT 1.5). Beyond 768 MHz it froze immediately. I will continue testing and post here any issues.
Looks great so far, and thank you for your hard work!
UPDATE: Stepping down to 748 MHz as Sense just froze while switching from the People tab to Home, when using 768 MHz.
Great app iwfratz!!
Downloaded and installed on my Tilt 2 running "Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Nov.13". I am able to over clock to 787.2 MHz (where I could only get 768.0 with OCT). Running good so far; have not had any bad side effects yet (scrolling through Sense tabs; made phone call; started web browser; read e-mail).
Looks to be a WINNIER!!

WiMoSpeed rocks!
Thanks for all your hard work, iwfratz. You rocked the house with OCT v1.5, and now you follow up with your magnum opus!
This works very well on my Stock VzW 6.5 rom. I was able to step it up a notch or 2 in speed from my OCT v1.5 settings. I am standing pat at 748.8 for now, mainly because I don't want to get too greedy and SOD it all up!

Hi iwfratz;
Glad to see you are still working on this!
Did you ever find out why OCT1.5 would not remove properly? I would prefer to remove it "correctly" rather than use a 3rd party tool or go digging around the registry for leftover pieces.
Thanks!
Thanks

Builds with start menu at the bottom arent as stable as the start menu at the top, in some cases things wont work the same as others with Energy 21916 build (Which I use 21916) which in my case works fine. That could be one reason but there could be more. Try switching builds and see what happens.
awesome
Works great on my stock sprint 6.5.
moved up to 748 from 729 using oct 1.5
everything is buttery smooth and stable so far.
nicely done.
Hey many thanks for the new update. However, I used to switch between WinMo and Android quite often and, as you probably know, you need to turn off overclocking to switch.
So I was wondering if there is a quick way or a shortcut to turn the overclocking off when need be? I've tried making a shortcut to switch to 518mhz before attempting android, but that doesn't work. I'd hate to have to switch back to the old version (oct 1.5) as I really like this new one. But unfortunately, this issue is a deal breaker for me

I've released a new build - 21820 - fixes most problems. Get it!
News:
Montecristo's fix for WM6.5 hardware keyboard issues.
Coming in July version of WM6.5:
- updated to build 21820
- keyx's suggested A2DP fix
- Montecristo's keyboard fix
Hey y'all,
Bet you didn't think I'd get this done before my earlier WM6.5 ROM expires at the end of the month, eh? WM6.5 build 21815 is the newest leaked build and is RTM quality; it has no known expiry timebomb.
I present to you the following June 2009 releases for the iPAQ 910c/912c/914c Business Messenger:
WM6.1 21042br0609 (cooked last-minute without testing - anyone?)
WM6.5 21815br0609
Both ROMs feature HP's newest firmware base, meaning increased max volume and other fixes. I have removed the following OEM junk:
- Cyberon Voice Commander
- iPAQ Tips, Help & Support
- HP Photosmart Mobile (and screensaver)
- Snapfish uploader
- HP custom IE homepage
- HP Today theme (and other customizations)
- Google Maps (old)
- Goolge Search (old)
Also the WM6.5 releases remove:
- iPAQ DataConnect
(...since the new WM6.5 AutoConnect feature does the same thing)
Both ROMs contain the following little additions:
- NumBattery
- GPS Viewer
- Backlight Controller 0.9.5.2
Once I get around to making some new OEM packages for my favourite freeware apps, I'll bundle those in the "m" series next month:
WM6.1 21042br0709m "motherload" - pending
WM6.5 21815br0709m "motherload" - pending
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Get a microSD card sized 2 GB or lower (SDHC won't work) and format it with regular FAT filesystem. Copy my FLASH.DIO to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Put your device into SDLoader mode by holding VOLUP+OK(button on right side) and pressing RESET. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any USB charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into RUU mode).
3. Watch the magic... SDLoader will check the file integrity, flash to your device ROM, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "Welcome to Windows Mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
4. If you run into any problems, repeat steps 1 through 3 with a FLASH.DIO that has worked before (i.e. you can make one from HP factory ROM update using Paloma's instructions posted here)

welcome back, god Ben!!!
just flashed Monte's rom yesterday, so maybe flash your one bit later~
the 91x is truly becoming unbeatable among all the qwerty wm phones!!! rock on!!!

Great job! I'm using your WM 6.5
I've just a little problem with the Titanium Weather, doesn't work :S
No weather icons at all. Any suggestion about that?
just running on your 6.5 now..
first impression? damn good!! (it also my 1st experience using 6.5)
oke here's some glitch i found :
-everytime i type using keyboard there is some delay in somewhat the same like i type using a keypad on my 610.. and it's kind a annoying to me coz, sometime if type an email address(or a sentence) after i type @(or a space) and i continue to type without waiting the half-underscore disappear, the cursor came back again to the first word of the sentence (or after the @) when the half-underscore is disappear. for example i always typing [email protected] but this problem giving me result [email protected] (if i type mail fast enough).
- and the capslock or function indicator near the keyboard is not showing at all
- the device is restarting my itself. here's the condition : i'm pushing the cpu clock to 624mhz (PHM), using wcdma network, and loading google using IE6.. and the device is going off...
another condition : every setting is normal, i watched a movie on coreplayer, and got an incoming call... and the device went off instead of freeze..
but despite all the problems above, i still enjoying your 6.5, but the device is becoming less productive...
ohoh,, can you give me a solution how to change screen orientation without restarting the device?
and once again i'm thanking you very very much for you Ben..

The keyboard is buggy for me too sometimes; I have no idea why. These OEM packages are taken directly from the new HP update. Has anyone experienced this behaviour on any other 91x roms? I also can't explain the capslock/numlock indicator... it is a DLL that I am still including just like the stock ROM, but maybe it also relies on stuff from the HP Customization package?
Device restarting itself... that has not happened to me and I've been running this ROM for a few days now. Are you sure your battery connection isn't loose?
Can anyone else confirm these issues and/or confirm if they are present in Montecristo's ROMs? I think he tends to take his SYS directly from the keyx kitchen, whereas I'm usually porting a release from Da_G or somebody else on ppcgeeks.
Hi,
I'm using your ROM, I haven't that problem!! Keyboard is normal!
I solved the problem with the weather, was a server problem with accu weather!!
hey BR,
Yeah, the keyboard bug is present in Mc's ROM too ... I'll give yours a try, I like your style!

I'm using the OEM extracted from HP's most recent ROM update, BIOS 1.20.09 (21 May 2009)
...but I removed a number of files and registry entries to take out most of the HP branded stuff. Feel free to use osnbtool to extract my ported XIP from 21815br0609 if you are planning to build your own 21815.
Hi Ben!
I'm looking forward to trying your WM 6.5 build for the first time (first time using a cooked ROM, actually!) on my 914c, but I noticed that you mentioned using BIOS 1.20.09. When I clicked through to the link to the HP website, this was listed as being compatible only with the 910c, with SKU ID FB168AA#ABA.
My SKU ID is FB052AA#ABB, would installing this ROM cause any problems? The latest OEM firmware HP have for my model is 1.01.01 dated 28th April 2009, yours is more recent but I'm not sure if my phone will run with it.

I'm not sure... but I think you should try, since I'm only updating the OS portion of the ROM anyway. If things don't work out for some reason, you can always flash back to your own Factory ROM using either DNW or the SD Loader (Paloma has posted on this); somebody reportedly flashed a 61x ROM to their 91x and was able to get it working again that way.
My assumption thus far is that there are no hardware differences between the 910c, 912c and 914c that require specific OS roms.
Okay, I'll try it out later on tonight and post here if/when I manage. Thanks!

Hmm. 1.20.xx is only available from hp for the 910c. For the 914c the latest update is 1.01.01. The legend is the same for both updates: "fixes keyboard lockup issue and audio quality"
BTW, Montecristo does not recommend to use the 1.20.xx version of his ROM, he still uses 1.01.01 (which seems to be more compatible).
He uses SYS folder from keyx 614 kitchen but boot.rgu from HP 1.01.01.
Once more, if you want to fully update your phone (Modem part, Bootloader, etc) go to this thread, works fine:

hi
first I must say tnx 4 the rom and 4 your work
I have tested your rom and I have some issues
1 I-go8.3 will not load up (stop after installation –need sr 2 releases but will not load at any way)
2 keyboard, have issue unlike anything I have seen
sometimes if u type a dot then a letter the cursor will go back one step
(I think there is like t9 dll or something that gets in the way)
3 rom is real nice (good looking ) but a lot slower if compared 2 Montecristo
expired rom (u have more apps/plugins but looks like it is more then apps difference )
4 sometimes rom freeze
5 sometime tmail will not open and u will get sounds like stuck recording (DJ iPAQ) sr will stop this sounds and then u can enter tmail o.k.
6 I use opera mini as main explorer don’t know way but u cannot log into forum (like xda …) at all website I have tested user name will be o.k. but password will not enter the field (stay blank)
What I must point out is that radio connection and auto data setup is great
igo and opera mini are important apps 4 me
do u have a fix 4 this issue or know a way….?
Tnx 4 the rom I like it
BR,
6.5 is running smooth, thanks! I have tested every 6.5 release out there and unlike Erezyad I haven't noticed major speed differences between them. My 914c is heavily used for both business and private.
I like this release a lot as it is the most vanilla, neutral and well balanced.
Thanks again,
John

I have no idea what the issue with i-go and opera mini is; I don't have i-go but will test opera mini. It is java (as you know) and should be more or less isolated from the OS, so that's really weird.
The keyboard issues... might possibly be a result of me using a 910c-specific OEM base while you have a 912 or 914, but I doubt it. I haven't experienced the jumpy cursor lately, but I can tell you that I used to get it once and a while, even on the default HP factory ROM. Montecristo and I both use the keyboard driver/files supplied by HP, so I don't know what the problem could be. Personally, I suspect that we're encountering a physical hardware defect in these units - wherein errant d-pad keypresses are being registered when you press other keys sometimes. Try disabling word completion and word suggestions - I've found that improves performance a lot.
I'm not familiar with the ipaq dj (what is that?) and the tmail problems you describe.
As for the overall speed of the ROM, you are right that I have included almost all SYS packages from the generic WM6.5 installation (except for Autoupdate, SampleMusic, SQM, WelcomeCenter and WindowsLive). I think keyx and Montecristo (who just uses whatever SYS is in keyx's kitchen, I think) omit Enterprise, IPSECVPN and Transcriber. I kept those in because they actually seem useful for some people. However, I think my ROM has a bit less of HP's junkware than the others'. To me the biggest impact on speed is free RAM, and you can keep nearly 60 MB free on my build if you terminate running programs.
I have considered releasing an "l" series (as in "lite") that omits Enterprise, Entertainment, IPSECVPN, Themes, Transcriber, Skybox, Skymarket and Widgets... it would be ruthlessly pared down. But then again, I don't take donations and I'm not really interested in a whole lot of cooking of ROMs that I wouldn't personally use. I expect WM6.5 to be a bit slower than WM6.1 because of all the added glitz.
Bottom line: other than fixing bugs that can be reproduced by others (and aren't just due to the OEM drivers or OS, which are beyond my control), I'm not going to compete with Montecristo for "fastest ROM" or whatever. If the 910c vs. 912 and 914 OEM base thing turns out to be a big deal, maybe Monte will cook for 912/4 and I'll stick to the 910c.
Thanks for the feedback!
Ok so many people are ditching the topaz because they find it too slow, or its performance just doesnt cut it
But i will stay loyal!
Im starting this thread to share tips and tweaks I'm using to increase RAM/Performance on my topaz and hope other contribute too
1. Use rom build 21680 if possible (It is the fastest build for Winmo currently)
- Energy rom and Enterprise rom use this build at the moment
2. Im a huge flash-a-holic and flash roms on every update (tip dont use XDA-UC...i find that it slows down sense performance by just a little bit imo)
3. This is my NUMBER 1 recommendation for all topaz users! Netrippers 'MSM7kCpuSpeed' it's an overclocker which improves performance by HEAPS

(the second one is an app that automatically underclocks when screen is off to prevent SOD's and help save battery)
4. Energy rom and Enterprise are by far the best rom for speed and Ram so i recommend either one of those

Enterprise - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742356

9. clean up the start menu which is in the windows folder, this will allow the start menu to be more responsive
10. I personally use Cookie Home tab and design/create it so it looks as close to Standard sense 2.5 (minimal quick links and pages and turned off weather animation and clock flips)
I find it's very quick (faster then standard sense 2.5)

11. if you don't care about all that fancy eye-candy and stuff, flash a basic titanium rom or sense 2.1 rom which are good on battery/ram/performance
(energy has all these variations ^^link above)
12. Remove all the sense tabs you don't use to increase sense performance
13. Keep in mind skinning uses ram and slows down performance by a little bit
14. disable the dialer skin if you don't care about it (can be done using advanced config tool)

well thats all i have for the time being...if people want i can keep updating this thread when i find something new?
(Also keep in mind that im not taking into account battery life)
but my battery goes for about 1-2 days on casual use and thats fine for me (as long as it's quick)
and please share your tips

1. Use rom build 21680 if possible (It is the fastest build for Winmo currently)
- Energy rom and Enterprise rom use this build at the moment
####I think perhaps there are a lot of other roms out there which are all quite fast.
3. This is my NUMBER 1 recommendation for all topaz users! Netrippers 'MSM7kCpuSpeed' it's an overclocker which improves performance by HEAPS

(the second one is an app that automatically underclocks when screen is off to prevent SOD's and help save battery)
####Although there are some bugs in this, I agree. I am on 710MHz with a poling interval of 150ms.
4. Energy rom and Enterprise are by far the best rom for speed and Ram so i recommend either one of those

8. Try keep the rom as close as you can to when you flashed it and dont overload it with junk you don't use
####Agreed. If you want applications, then add them to your rom.
9. clean up the start menu which is in the windows folder, this will allow the start menu to be more responsive
####Does not apply if you remove the start menu in the first place.
13. Keep in mind skinning uses ram and slows down performance by a little bit
####If you are going to skin, then add the replaced files to the rom instead of duplicating them.
14. disable the dialer skin if you don't care about it (can be done using advanced config tool)
####I use Phonex and remove the WM dialer too. This saves 2Mb of ram.

Thanks for your ideas Gtj! Whilst a lot of people have read them, not many have commented or given any extra ideas.
I would also add the following:
1. Remove as much stuff as possible from the rom that you don't use.
PS, how does this multi-quote mallarky work??

Multi quote is used when responding to more than one post, so you click multi quote except for the last thread you are quoting.
Also it is not a good idea to quote the first post or a longer post as it just takes up space.
I think you've read my mind. thanks for the tips! been waiting for someone to speed up my td2
For overclocking I recommend the excellent OverClockTool by iwfratz.
My Topaz is running at 691 Mhz, 0 interval without any kind of problems, and it really is faster!

------ Got Bad Battery life in android? I can help!! ------
after being given the idea by JW, i have done extensive testing with various radios using current widget. I can confirm that the worst radio you can have for battery life in android, by far, is 2.15.xx and 2.14.xx
With radio 2.10.50.28_2 or 2.08.50.05 i am getting a constant 6/7 mA in standby, even with wifi still active and around 100mA less useage when phone on and being used!
you can download them here:
2.08.50.05 - is here
2.10.50.28_2 - is here
flash them in bootloader, boot to WM (you may need to reset your date and time - flashing radios sometims changes it, then boot to android and enjoy!
If you are looking for an older version than the above, please browse the root of our FTP available here http://cleanex.htcfanboys.com/
Credits and Thanks
Fadzy, of course
Diego, even though your gone, your still part of the team!

Dear Gavin, thank you.
You are the man
and as mynamesteve said, Christmas has come early
Thanx .... giving it a try ..... Greatly appreciated ......
Just booted up after flash. Amazing speed, everything seems working 101%, probably the best ROM ever made for the HD2. Will test further and report if any issues found.
Still running ancient Radio 2.08.50.08_2, should I update?... to wich one?... (yes, battery life sucks with this one but it always has and I doubt any radio will improve it much...) Does it need to be a Radio ending in xxxxx_2 or it doesnt matter? Any feedback on newer Radios or what's the best one?
Gavin... U know it Simply perfect!
Cheers guys! Keep the feedback coming, and let me know of any issues you may encounter!

For Ultra, the LeftSoftKey registry (ie HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath) didnt work anymore. This did not happen on previous Ultra. I was trying to map it to "\windows\taskmgr.exe"
Welcome back Gavin! We missed u!! Wish your GF for a quick recovery!!

Glad to see you back Gavin. Feedback RV 1.00 - fast, very fast. I miss the slide cover, can I say?

CAUTION !!!
- USE THIS TOOL AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
- Overclocking your cpu may damage your device.
- Before autostarting the app be sure that your device will not hang.
- backup is always recommended !!
DESCRIPTION :
WiMoSpeed lets you change the CPU-speed. In opposite to other tools, even to the predecessor OverClockTool (OCT), it manipulates the values WM uses for clock control. So it works reliable on battery and AC without any scripting or active components.
USAGE :
- Download and install the CAB
- Start WiMoSpeed.exe. If it reports that it cannot identify your ROM: post here
- Select Speed
- Set Speed
- If desired create link (in installation directory) with actual settings
- Exit WiMoSpeed.exe
- Your device still runs with speed you set
LIMITATIONS
I am working on this in my spare time, beside my job, my mate and some other interest. I own a Rhodium-device only, so I can not reproduce errors on other devices and debugging is very difficult and time-consuming. Be patient.
WiMoSpeed supports Qualcomm MSM7200 (and compatible) and is actually limited to ROMs of
Rhodium,
RhodiumW
Topaz
Blackstone
Whitestone / Imagio
I took all shipped roms I could get and included the information into WiMoSpeed.
!!! If you have a device listed above and WiMoSpeed could not identify your ROM please post here what part of your ROM WiMoSpeed couldn't identify (OEMXIP and / or RADIO-ROM) and include a download-link of your ROM (OS, RADIO) !!! Otherwise I will ignore your post. Thank you.
TECHNIQUE
Basically WiMoSpeed is hardware-independent, because it lets WM change clock speed. But I couldn't get WM to switch the clock reliable on request so WiMoSpeed had to switch the clock registers itself on setting a new speed.
Therefore WiMoSpeed depends on CPU-hardware, RADIO- and OS-ROM.
Raising or lowering cpu speed didn't change battery drain or device temperature noticeable. So there isn't dynamic clocking in WiMoSpeed, but WM is still controlling and changing cpu-speed on battery.
thanks to
-all donators for the support
-eboelzner for Sense UI SDK
-dmvandijk for the icon
-the internet
TODO-LIST
support for Raphael / Fuze
support for Diamond
Support for
non-HTC MSM7200/7201
non-MSM7200/7201
devices is uncertain.
Please do not mirror WiMoSpeed !
Version 1.03
- blackstone problem (speed cut in half after sleep) should be solved
- added support for more ROMs
- changes in GUI (you have to create your links again; old ones starts the GUI only)
Version 1.02
- added support for more devices
- added support for more ROMs
Version 1.01
- added support for more OS-ROMs
- added support for more radio-ROM
- new function: restore default speed (528 MHz)
Version 1.00
- Initial release
- Rhodium, RhodiumW

yeah, we all want that. but our devices have a 900mah battery. that means the battery will have lesser life than usual.
Hey everyone,
I've bought my HD2 about a year ago and using it happily, but as I understand Im not using its full potential, so as a clueless person I want to ask you what the f is a custom ROM
You see, as Im using my phone Ive loaded a lot of stuff in it, like Cookies Home Tab, BsB tweaks, Comic Reader, Garmin, SlovEd, Java aplications, tons of games...And I of course contacts, calender notes, alarms and so on... What happens to programs and other things after ROM update.
My main question is; what happens when I load a new ROM to my HD2? Are there any risks? How much time would it take to update it?
---
Hardware: CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 8250B 1024MHz - RAM: 576 - Flash: 1024MB
Software:
OS:5.2.21892
Manila: 2.5.2.20121412.2 (I also dont know what this is)
ROM: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio: 2.10.50.26 (This one also seems to be important somehow)
--------
PS: My phone was bought from US T-Mobile, I unlocked SIM lock to use it here...
you should be slaped for this question! it is an insult to everybody here!
We have an old saying: "Teach me a letter and I will be a slave for you"
And another: "It's not a shame not to know, not asking is"
rom is the os.
manila is the interface created by htc (you can use the same rom and not use manila - it will look old school wm.)
updating is easy.
it is completely restarting your phone - everything will need to be re-installed. people do it as it is a) custom, b) no bload, c) lots of good tweaks, d) faster.
check out the roms thread and just look around. you'll get a sense of the flavor of what people use. i used energy roms; they always rocked wm. stable, fast and easy to use.
now, if everything is fine and you are 100% happy i suggest not changing unless you have a strong desire. it is okay to just use what you have. i had custom roms as the original rom quit on me. never looked back.
cheers.

Custom ROM is basically the OS Windows Mobile 6.5 by other developers.
Now the architecture of the OS remains intact but developers like tweaking it a little to boost performance and replace stock applications with new ones that people need.
For instance in the default Tmobile Stock Windows Mobile
you can only have 3 quick links on the home screen
however I use Dutty's Latest ROM (use search on XDA) which provide me
4 quick links (tweak)
also his ROM has all the latest applications released by hTc which sometimes takes quite a long time for the stock OS to come with.
