Hi,
I was active in the BA forum about a year ago, and have some free time now so would like to get my BA working again
When I was here last helmi had just released his first 6.0 rom. Could anyone advise me about how the ROMs have improved since then, i.e. improvements between 6.0 - 6.1 - 6.5, and recommend which version to install?
I'm mainly looking for stability and a clean and well organised interface. I tried a ROM just now out of curiosity and found it was completely messed up with coverflow picture viewers, oversized task managers etc. which did not look good.
Thanks for any help, or just general ROM discussion
hardingt0110
maybe i will recook latest 6.1
if you really look for stability do not try WM 6.5, about the speed the 6.5 roms are quite fast
i personally use 6.5 because i can handle the crashes here and there, but it is possible you never encounter a crach on 6.5
WM6.5 is still in beta stage thats why you may encounter bugs ...
try for yourself, i recomend if you use your device on daily basis and not just for toy use 6.1 until 6.5 becomes RTM
wm6.1 build 21032 or 21038 are waiting for ya
Cheers for the help
So which ROM would you guys reccomend for my requirements of fewest bugs / cleanest interface? I guess imatrix you were talking about xtreme's ROMS there, or sun_dreams?
@xplode: once wm6.5 is stable, will it have any improvements over 6.1? Would I be better with a 6.0 over 6.1 for that matter? That would be great if you could make a new version of 6.1
Thanks

I for once don't agree with you! LOL Well I use R3 Your Creation... on a daily basis and beat the cheet out of it, and have had very few crashes... So... C'mon mate, trust your work Its going great. Getting ready to flash R5.1 . I just need to sync phone first. I had to re-format my pc and haven't installed Outlook yet, so, till I can find my Office CD and can Sync my contact I won't be flashing. Oh... I hate moving... Still have 1/2 my stuff in boxes and can't remember what is where.
@ hardingt0110: I can suggest Swampy's WM6.1 : BA_M2D_CE_OS_5220275__Build_20275.1.3.3_V3 I used it for quite a while, still have it on one of my other BA's and to me, it was pretty featured and stable. Use it with his ExtROM.
If you read a little on the top 10 threads, you will find most answers to your questions about 6.0 vrs .1 and .5
Happy Flashing!
@ Explode: Like I said, I haven't flashed 6.5 R5.1 yet, but just from what you've wrote, I can already say... Thank You! You've really put your time into this last ROM. My Respects to you and all the other great cookers.
@ Swampy: You've been a little quiet my friend. Waiting to see what's New @ Swamps Cooking
@ markanthonypr: Edit your signature lazy boy, you don't have a "working Tornado" anymore LOL
@ Rafyvitto: Thanks for suggesting BA its all your fault LOL
I will always try latest ROM, though I know it could be buggy, but I feel we are the persons to give true feedback to developers to resolve build related issues and finally make them solid. Developers are working for us and we should help them by pointing out bugs in decent ways ( not discouraging ways) I have installed xplode's 6.5.1

I'm totally agreed with that!
I tried Swampy's M2D CE_OS_5.2.20931, its fast but the folders are not really organized. I'm currently using xplode's Build 19209; slower but stable and looks pretty official.
Cheers to ROM developers!

@xplode,
You know mark is right, right? You should have more trust in your work buddy!! Your roms are normally great with a few bugs here and there.
@ hardingt0110
If I were you, I would jump directly to WM6.5. markanthonypr is right on the money... I use 6.5 for daily use and I beat it like a rented mule without any issues. I have had to do a series or SR in the past week, but it is not because of the rom itself but rather because of the latest release of PointUI2, which for some reason is buggy as hell. I uninstalled it and everything is back to normal. Try it, you may like it...
@ mark
Moving is always a pain in the a$$. Don't feel bad though, I moved about 2 years ago and I still have half of my stuff packed in boxes.
Thanks for all the help guys, you've saved me hours of ROM trying and the associated risks in flashing
I think I will try xplode's R5.1, as the screenshots of the interface look pretty neat. How does the honeycomb interface work? It always looks slightly too big for the screen?
Has anyone got any reccomendations for interface enhancements for wm6.5? S2P http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417511 looks a lot nicer than WMP along with all the other apps by A_C.
Thanks
EDIT: What are the fixed themes next to the ROM download? do I need these if I download the fixed rom?

The apps enhancements are really up to personal taste... Here's what I normally have
Main UI: Varies but currently using PointUI 2 Free v 2.018b (later releases are too buggy)
Music Player: S2P
Lock Program: either S2U2 or ThrottleLock
Browser: NetFront Browser Concept 3.5 and Iris Browser (both are light, pretty fast, and Iris can use true Flv video (youtube and such))
Contact Manager: Pocket CM
Keyboard: PCM keyboard
Mail Management: I use the stock Pocket Outlook. However, Flexmail isn't bad either (not free though)
Video Player: Either CorePlayer or TCPMP
Picture Viewer: S2P
Games: A bunch!!
GPS Program: IGo 6 (will change it to Google Navigate eventually, but this one works rather well).
Calendar: Thumbcal (not free)
Thanks i will look into those
By the way I figured out that the honeycomb scrolls
I still don't know what those fixed themes are :S can I still use my own background in wm6.5?
yes of course you can use customized backgrounds. if you pick a qvga jpg picture, open it with "pictures and videos" you can set it as today background and select transparency, that also makes it the start menu background and those abstract pictures, general dark background with colorful lightplay looks wonderful. i already tried a lot of custom backgrounds and can't even decide with which to go permanently. i wouldn't recommend .tsk today themes though, they didn't just change the title bar and menu bar, which i expected, they took away all the finger friendlyness and put back the ugly old menus and scrollbars.
I have tried ALL 6.5 ROMs
but it seems these have issues with battery drain
- whatever the reason, I don't know -
Battery lasts ONLY half a day - that too standby
You can actually see the battery percentage %
decrease every two/three minutes
and NO other software installed after flashing
(I flash Stock ROM then flash Cooked ROM then
I HardReset 3 times - please keep in mind)
- BUT -
I install Stock ROM 6.1 Professional - NO ISSUES
I install Androkkid as alternate UI
on the Stock ROM 6.1 Professional - NO ISSUES
I install other softwares like TotalCommander and
QuickMenu, Nitrogen for music, plus a few games
yet NO ISSUES
Some of these are good ROMs - Fast & Stable -
but ONLY & ONLY this battery issue puts one off
Is it only me or are there others in the same boat

I like lecamtran's D10 D11 D12 - all stable BUT the battery issue
Even the PhamQuang ROMs have this battery issue I experience
Let's see - tonight I will try this ROM with a fully charged battery
and get back to you tomorrow

Is the start menu button on this ROM
at the bottom or at the top???
I like start button at the bottom since
it is easier to operate the phone
But if start button is at the top - fine
as long as I get good battery life
may be u shoould try battery calibration

I will surely try this Battery Calibration
It seems to be a procedure worth following
once in a month or two months
But then why do 6.1 ROMs give more juice
than 6.5 ROMs - THAT is my issue -
6.1 ROMs give a 24 hour+ charge
6.5 ROMs give only 6-10 hours
There is surely something about these 6.5
ROMs that are causing more battery drain

Hello my friend
Sorry dude - I tried this ROM too but the same story
Hi,
I've read all your posts that proves this forum is very fruitful and many members are here to help.
I don't know if someone shares me my opinion about unnecessary move to install 6.5 ROM. So far I've barely seen a good cooked ROM without major complaints like aaryaputra mentioned. I'm aware that it is good to change, but can't you use some shell software to change the look of your phone and stay happy?
It is just an opinion and frankly speaking, does the "start button" position deserve baring all bugs in the cooked version?
I use SPB mobile shell with the elegance pack, and it is adorable by all means. I know ROMs of new OS is very elegant even in functionality, but since the manufacturer himself doesn't provide an update (even with charge), I guess it is because of the expected degradation in performance.
Am I correct? Hope to see others opinion.

Welcome buddy to the forum yeah u r somewhat correct use some shell and be happy but then i or may be we all upgraded to wm because of two things... more userfreindly specially wm 6.5.x and new functionality like internet explorer etc.....
If you just got your opal then i must suggest you first use ur opal as it is for atleast a month or atlest two weeks. And explore windows mobile using diff app etc.... learn more then go for a upgrade....

No offense to you my friend, i know you have been working day and night to make the roms stable and your contribution is unquestionable but do you think most of the users really care about IE 6 ?
All i can do right now is install Opera or other browser and call it a day, apart from that 6.1 is quiet capable OS and like i said SPB shell usually does the trick of making the OS as fancy as Apple (atleast that much i am satisfied)

There is always a counterpart of anything in this world so is here many really want ie6 and many dont, you know the real reason i upgraded my touch viva to wm 6.5 which i got newly was because of ie 6. And yes its true opera mobile is better (not 10 its slow compared to 9.7) but there are some particular site which will not open on opera or any browser in this world except ie thats why many commercial company still use ie. And about other things i like the look of wm 6.5.x i today just tried wm 6.1 again yeah to be honest it was fast but its gui and functionality is really worst. The same speedy rom i made with many tweaks etc for wm 6.5.3 latest build 23102 its as fast as wm 6.1 plus full features i love it... but again as you know i cant share that rom coz of that wifi bug. Since i do not need bluetooth so i removed bluetooth from my rom and now everything works but i think many do need that here. Anyways we had a nice discussion on this topic coz of this i resaw wm 6.1 and was successful in making much faster rom

See!!! you ditto my thoughts now.
1) You don't need WIFI and bluetooth, so you don't have it on your rom, but i cannot work without them, so i am sticking with Stock rom.
2) You like the functionality of WM: 6.5 so can't do without it. I have yet to find anyproblem with WM6.1 so no problems here.
Above mentioned points only prove that people here have different requirements of their phones, some people need lots of feature, so people need balanced and some people use it for only calling and messaging.
I'm quite happy with this discussion. I've been developing windows applications for 10 years, but can't deny that in mobile world, I'm an infant.
Besides the IE flash enabled browser, what are the most critical features that is not in 6.1?
Also is there any version of wm 6.5 that doesn't drain the battery? I'll be happy to accept recommendations.

No buddy you misunderstood me that wifi bug is only with the htc touch viva its not with any of the htc devices take elf which is almost same as opal but it has no problem but some people have solved it, iam unable so i removed just bluetooth others are working. Although i wish i had bluetooth too.
People need balanced one and calling i totally agree even i need but there is some prob while coooking thats why i dont share the rom which i use in my phone....got it? overall i can say that you can make wm 6.5 as faster as wm 6.1 or even better. Really beleive me i will try to make a video of how its working on my device its just lighting fast....

Beside IE 6 flash enabled browser wm 6.5 has some core upgrades and now we have 6.5.3.3 which which has more improvements. Wm 6.5 is more finger freindly, every thing just got more good like threaded email, more clearer fonts. And the best thing is it has widget support but right now we have very less widgets if you are interested you can develop some.
See i have attaches some images from build 23102, it has new font rendering feature.

Battery Drain
Hi There. I´ve been following the conversation and....
I have also changed my ROM from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5. I did it because I wanted a better shell without the neef of using SPBShell. I hope that I coud save memory and proccessor.
What did I get? Just the opposite. WM 6.5 has a lot of mem usage (6.1 averaged 40% and WM 6.5 60% without any application runnig) and I red thats the cause of battery drainning.
I tryed killing some mem proccesses with SKT Tools but it didnt work.
I thing I will change for 6.1 with a nice cooked ROM.

Okay with my experience till now i tell you the cause and solution of battery problem
1. Battery drains quickly due to more usage of resources, in wm 6.1 there is less resource to be used, no graphics that requires more ram. But its opposite in wm 6.5 and above what happens is in wm 6.5 and above there is large about of graphical components so gwes.exe most of you have probably noted with some taskmanager that this takes the most of ram, so it is large because it needs more ram to display the graphics.
2. Sometimes rom cheifs what they do is they use rom files as modules (okay it is little advanced for normal users) in simple words the battery also depends on the cheif i mean how they cook and what they cook cooking some type of files gives high storage but at the same time it consumes ram. Thus the resource.
Now the possible solutions
1. This problem yet to be clarified. But some temp solution are there one of the basic solution is use ur taskmanager and particulary the clean ram app. When u dont use any app close it it will save the ram (thus the resource) i prefer q taskmanager that is quick and accessible from any screen and some of my favourite are xtask but its little complicated at starting, but the best i would say is arkswitch can be accessed from any screen closes the app and istantly ram release is shown.
2. As One of the above mem said battery calibration
3. Due to more graphics more ram is consumed thus quicker battery drain so if we cant come up to the level of wm 6.1 then atleast we can come close to it. Like i have shown you one screenshot of getting 82 mb free ram in wm 6.5.3.
CatonElMenor I want your particular line to quote
What did I get? Just the opposite. WM 6.5 has a lot of mem usage (6.1 averaged 40% and WM 6.5 60% without any application runnig) and I red thats the cause of battery drainning.

So you say it consumes 60% ram, yes its true but and the same time the rom can consume less ram than wm 6.1 yes somedays ago i used phamquang rom dont remember the version in that only 60% ram was consumed. So i can surely say that its 100%possible that you can get up to the level of wm 6.1 or even better.
@All: All ppl's i know u are waiting for the rom but iam more impatient than you to release it so plz have little more patience. For me its 100% bug free rom (but u never know, people use there phone in diff situation so if there is a bug we will come to know eventually, for me as i said its totally bug free)
I purchased a WinMo 6.5 prof based HTC Touch2 T3333 and I'm facing quite a few performance problems.
TouchFlo takes a lot of time to load when the phone starts, any way to reduce it? Scrolling is VERY sluggish, again I have no idea why. The Microsoft Tag application I downloaded hangs the phone every time I use it.
Also, I "bought" the Bing app from the web interface of WinMo Marketplace, the app isn't showing up on the phone's Marketplace app.
It seems that the ROM that is on the phone might be buggy, is there a 6.5.3 build available for the T3333 and if not any stable build that isn't throwing random tantrums that you can point me to?
Thank you
Since there is no HSPL available you cannot install custome Rom...and HTC did not release an update yet....
You could consider a hard reset......after backing-up all data and programs!!!
Although after a soft reset .....touchflow is sometimes indeed slow.....but never more than say 15-30 seconds to start-up.....
thanks for the reply. can i install htc sense?
Not possible for the moment......
Look also here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628064
Keep following the forums.....perhaps something will move in future....
damn. I'm feeling disappointed since there is nothing I can do about the buggy-ness of the OS. thank you for the replies though
Hard reset......but back-upfirst....!!
Did that no change.
Ok, last resort of help is HTC service, call them with your problem and when approved they pick up your phone, hopefully fix and return.......had to do that ones aswell......
Succes

If You want, You can try something else: Install SPB Mobile Shell 3 and disable Touch Flo from the item list of the Today menu - much better and quicker (in my opinion)!
my TouchFlo is loading as much as 10 second i think ... and i it is quite fast ... have u tried tweaking it ? Diamond Tweak , Advanced configuration tools , SKTools ... there are many settings about the touchflo etc like how much force u have to use to slide ... and many many more i'm sure u can speed it up !
There may be a good chance that this thread maybe closed... but I'll ask it anyway...
What ROM are you using and why?
I'm asking as sometimes, reading threads like this exposes people to an idea/function/app/etc that they didn't consider in another ROM...
I'm using BlackSTONEhenge because it's really fast and not too heavy on the memory usage...

I was using cloudys rom, this is close to stock, very stable and fast, also low on memory useage.
I used to use his rom on my diamond back in the day.
Now flashed back to XannyTech Grid Leo 2.6 rom, as this rom is perfect for me. Fast, lots of tabs, eye candy, apps installed etc....
I am using XannyTech Grid Leo 2.4 as the version 2.5 and 2.6 seems to be a bit buggy to me.
I'll allow this thread to continue (for now), but I'll move it to general discussion forum as its not about rom development
As for which rom I use....see my sig ......as for why I use it, you'll just have to flash it to find out!!!
Rick
p.s. I have 2 HD's, one for general use, one for the constant flasher (me) who wants to try the latest builds. My sig only represents my everyday rom
I was using T2M rom v23544! It's very nice!! free RAM 60MB....!
Using ROM in signature.
Stable, not too many unneeded programs cooked, all programs I need (see signature) work...
After installation of everything I need I still have over 74 MB program memory free...
Oh, and Manila 2.1, which I like more than 2.5
I use Topix 3.5 wm6.1. Super fast ROM, after restart 68perc free RAM.

WM 6.1 today screen with launcher 79% free ram or 153 mb after reset, don't have to close anything, don't have to soft reset...maybe once a week...if that, most reliable OEM rom I've used in nearly ten years of ppc/WM use.
boring huh....just the way I like it
Occasionally google maps will have glitch where the screen doesn't refresh properly after the sip has been on there, but thats about it
XannyTech Grid Leo 2.4 is used here for the same reason as wind79, but in addition it's the only rom I've come across that can control the song playback forward and backward via volum control when the screen is turned off. XT lost something on the way from 2.4 onward. =(
Any other roms around that do the volume/song selection trick?
I am use:Rom..kwbrs Topix 3.5.10 [Sense 2.5.2012][5.2.21897] without hTC messaging
Stable and good battery..45% memories after softreset. good performances...
I'm using Miniterror's.
I liked Miri's, but something (can't remember now what), made me look for better, tried Energyrom, but the Cookie thing messed with my volume buttons, and was a hassle to fix.
I expected Cloudyfa's to be amazing, but the radio was bad for me and I tried Miniterror on a whim.
I'm very happy. I just wish he included some of the apps (like GPS stuff and the action screen) like in the Energy ROM, then it would be perfect.
I'm planning on going to the current release, but so far, I'm problem free so I'm slow to move...

Using this one too. Tried several WM 6.5 ROMs. I do not see what do I gain with WM 6.5 but see clearly what I lose: A lot of RAM and speed.
in Topix 3.5 WM6.1 I start with 35% RAM used and with Opera opened it's on 55%, not 80% like WM 6.5.

6.1, Extremely fast, stable, doesn't include all the stuff I don't need (specifically Manila which really slows the HD, even if not in use), and it's open so I can easily modify the ROM and add the stuff I like!
I wish there was a 6.5 ROM with the same benefits out there, but honestly I'm very happy with my current ROM and don't see much of a reason to change it.
I'm a Dutty rom fan... see my current rom in my signature. This rom seems to endure anything, it's fast, reliable and I found no bugs whatsoever! You just need to take it easy on installing apps and pay some attention to running processes and close useless ones from time to time. With this rom seem to work any Sense 2.5 mod (and I tried allot of them). Oh, I'm not a wm6.5.x follower (don't like that stupid bottom bar, and also that stupidly narrow taskbar) so I'll stick to 6.5, it's more appropriate for our Blascktone.
stock! stock! stock! 1.59.707 (48753) WWE - the fastest ROM I've ever seen

Hi danim, where can i download this ROM? I went to the link you provided, but can't find the download link...
please advice
energy rom use on my HD why? simply i dont no.......eny beter sugest...
I was using miris until he stopped support for them.
I also had GPS problems (maybe it was my radio...) 5 seconds lock - 5 seconds no lock - really frustrating.
Reflashed with latest radio and energys latest titanium last weekend (I like my HD minimal)
It's got 90% of the apps I need (I added pocket player and SKTools), is super fast, and I get a GPS lock within seconds everywhere now - great because I work abroad (and I get lost a lot).
Miris roms served me well, but this new energy rom is even faster - very very happy with it so far.

I use the same Duttys ROM ....... really fast and stable .... I did last soft reset about 3 weeks ago and my ram load is still only 58% ....... that's why I have always used only Duttys ROM.
P.S. I have tried many ROMs myself, but none so stable.
Hi All, I have an Xda Exec running Tomal's 6.5 Windows. Can anyone help me with increasing my program memory? I have 40mb of storage memory free but only 8mb of program memory free. Is there anyway I can transfer some program memory to storage? I'm new at this so simple instructions would be appreciated. Many thanks all for your contribution to Xda Developers. Eric
Welcome to forums
As you should know 6.5 eats a lot of resources on Uni, the best way to get more free prog space is to disable any today plug in (windows default titanium) or to go back to 6.1
or back to WM5! YAAAY WM5!
can you please suggest a stable and fast WM6.1? and also with great looks and does not drains battery power that fast..
