hello ppl,
just installed wm2005 ,looks awesome,though I have just issue with it,it kinda lags, when I click start,takes time for the menu to pop ,when I change programs again takes time for it to happen ,even when I close a program it takes a 6-8 seconds for it to close while in wm2003 it was instanteneous (2-3 sec)
I have installed all the patches which are posted on wiki and the ftp with the new rom,are there any more registry patches with which I can make this baby go little faster and sort this issue ,it's kinda running xp on a old machine
or everyone is facing the same problem ?
WM5.0 is slower. However, you can improve its speed by:
- Removing un-needed Today items like MSN Mobile, Spb Pocket, Resco Today plugin (if installed).
- Disable as many sound options as you can.
- Overclock your processor to 530 MHz. (This might be unsafe, do it at your own responsibility. It works great for me though).
- Set the clock to always show on all programs (Go to the clock settings and the option is available on the 3rd tab).
You'll have a smoother performance, but still not as fast as WM2003SE.
pakiyabhai, my start menu pops in a fraction of a second. And do you call 2-3 seconds instantaneous? I have almost all my programs gone and the today screen back in around 1 second on WM5! I only show the message and calendar box on the today screen, though.
thanx for the tips,
mastif hehe ,ok thanx for the correction , i have no today plugin installed,all of em are disabled
I tried the clock options ,but no diffrence as of now
I am seriously considering the overclockin option ,but won't it drain my batttery faster ?
It will, probably... try it for a day and see if it drains or reaches a critical level. If it doesn't, then that's okay you can recharge your PDA during the night I guess... on vacations, don't overclock hehe
... and just as a tip: go back to WM2003SE right away! That's what I did. First, this is still very experimental; I need a working device. Second, there's no wireless modem, and Pocket Word lacks drawing, and Powerpoint is like read-only as I saw... lots of missing features and not working ones... Slow slow slow. I'm on 1.40 i-mate ROM now with overclocked bus speed. Now that's my lovely Blue Angel :roll:
For me, WM5's speed is about 85-90% of WM2003SE, which is acceptable.

That may be acceptable,but the b/t problems on WM5 is not acceptable! I switched back again.

Hi
My new Touch Diamond is such a complete dog in terms of its ability to respond within less than 2 seconds to any 'touch', that I either have to get rid of it, or change the ROM to something better.
I've got the latest Orange UK upgrade ( came as delivered ), have installed advanced config & made the various changes suggested on this forum, but its made zero difference.
Anyone got a suggestion for a ROM to instal ?
Im running the latest version of the Orange UK ROM, and am having no problems, in fact it flies.
Have you tried changing to a cooked ROM? that may well help
Have you tried using DiamondTweak and TF3D Config?
I was hoping for some guidance on which cooked ROM to use that has 'speed' as its main idea...
try the new 2.00 ROM series, much better than 1.93/1.97 or whatever
see my sig
2.00
yes this is the way forward
before you try to install a cooked rom....read....read and then...read some more
i don't want your next post to be " help....i have bricked my phone"
welcome to the forum and good luck with your diamond
Thanks all. I've done ROM upgrades before so no problems getting to the 2.00 ones.
In fact I did it yesterday morning with Shaks ROM & battery life improved so much I've stil lhave not had to charge it. Used to be every morning. Responsiveness improved a lot, although now have slight problems with the 'start' button ( only works sometimes ) & photo album / contacts being TOO responsive & you simply cant flick through either of them without activating them.
Anyone got any solutions ?
Cheers

try flashing with the latest version 2.10
I've now been running official non-hacked 6.5 ROM for the duration it's been out officially.
- Performance is worse than 6.1, esp on the Manila interface I use
- I've had 2 hard crashes (had to pull out the battery)
- many screen drawing glitches
- several times needed to restart the phone, because some part stopped working properly
- missed too many calls / messages to count
Now, my phone was working reasonably ok with 6.1. haven't dropped it a single time.
Only system level app / tweak I've installed is Pocket Shield 3.2 (and NetCF 3.5 which is reguired).
Is there anything that could be done to make the 6.5 more stable? Any tips?
Or, is there an unofficial ROM that people have found to be more *more stable* than the official (heaven forbid)?
I'm getting really bored with this phone and am ready to toss it, if I can't get it running properly anymore. This is daily tool for me, not a toy, so I'm rather non-plussed that the upgrade was this bad.
People here actually run stock ROMs?
I think that what you'll find depends entirely on you. The stock ROM I ran was OK. Bit of a memory hog, rather bloated for my taste, but ran pretty smoothly and seemed stable. So, either we have different tastes (and we do), we ran different stock ROMs (definitely seems the case), or both. I'm betting both.
Improving the stability of a stock ROM? Yeah, that's kinda what the chefs here do when they cook up a ROM. I suppose you could probably get serious about tweaking it and playing with things....but why? Go flash a few ROMs, and find one that suits you and your needs. I have yet to see a ROM that's worse than stock. (Well, in the Kaiser days there was one....lol, but it thankfully never was posted on XDA.)
I didn't see if you specified which OEM ROM you have been using. I'm using the TILT 2 (ATT) Stock ROM for about a week and it is very stable and responsive. It, like all ATT ROMs, is very bloated leaving limited memory, but I have yet to have a problem due to out of memory issues.
So far, I am quite impressed, as this is not what I have become accustomed to with AT&T bloat ROMs.
I have upgraded the radio, as when I unlocked had to reflash it. In fact, I have been so impressed with the stock, that I have been reluctant to reflash it at this point. I haven't looked in to doing the hard reset or soft reset other than with the power button.
What apps have you loaded on top of the stock ROM? Maybe you have loaded something that doesn't play well?
I haven't been a ROM user yet on the Rhodium forum, but I know that I had very good success with NRG's ROMs on the Fuze and he is cooking here now as well. I'm sure there are some other very nice ROMs.
Also, have you tried a hard reset?
v/r
try one of the non stock 6.5 218xx builds that are cooked up by the chefs here, they tend to be way more stable and responsive than the stock roms. im having a great time with miri's rom
Thanks for all the replies.
The bug lists for almost all non-stock ROMs have scared me away so far.
I don't want a bleeding edge ROM. I wish for a stable one and the stock was a horrible disappointment.
I start pruning down my installs. I have had very little on top of the STOCK. Just Pocket Shield and couple off non-resident apps (mini opera, etc).
Now I'll just zap the whole phone and start from scratch with nothing on it.
Maybe it'll stop crashing.

Agree with you. i am using WM6.5 Official HTC Europe Version, same problem
I've been running the Timor.7.1 optimized T-Mobile ROM for 2 days straight with absolutely no issues at all.
I previous had the AthineOS rom and NRG and some other rom and they were unstable except the NRG rom, I just dind't like the NRG rom.
Im happy with my phone
vasra, you haven't listed where you are, which carrier or which version of the Rhodium you're using.
If you've got a Tilt2 I'd recomend At0mAng's Fusion V6.0 HTC Sense 2.1 ATT Version
He said V6.0 will be out later today. That's is probably the best At&t rom out at the moment.
My advice, go back to 6.1, there are no perfect roms on this forum. Always something here and there, you have to flash almost all of them and find what works best for you. For example some ppl was reporting some prob with energy rom regarding video call, since Im in the U.S. and we dont have that so to me its not a bug, just an example. So find what works for u, dont listen too much to what bugs are being report by users all over the world, if you cant do that, go back to 6.1
Thanks for all the replies again.
I'm on WWE / Euro English GSM/3G ROMs, phone bought in the Netherlands, but used all over Europe.
BTW, I wasn't aware I can go back to 6.1. How can I do this?
I think I'll test a couple of the builder ROMs, once an 'official' 6.5.1 ships, which I hope fill fix some of the 6.5 official bugs.
I also uninstalled Pocket Shield completely, which took away some of the problems I was having, but not all. Plus now I have to be content with the inane built-in "lock" system of 6.5. Grrrrr...
the HTC 6.5 rom comes with alot of apps you never going to use (well some people)
the Timo rom that is 6.5 posted here on the forum he just removed alot of microsoft apps and twerk it a lil bit..
You should try
the touch sense 2.0 b rom, very fast, energy rom is very slow
The HTC Official 6.5 ROM is the best ROM I've run. Fast, Smooth, Stable. Sure it uses more RAM and has more apps installed by default but who cares if cooked ROMs use less RAM and have less crap on them if they're constantly crashing and not operating properly. No offense to all the brilliant cooks out there, your ROMs are much cleaner and tidier than the default ROMs, but until I see a cooked ROM that doesn't fully drain my battery within 12 hours (every cooked ROM I've used does this) and is bug free, I'll be sticking to the official HTC ROM.
Hello,
i have used 6.5 roms in the past but have had various problems:
A lot of software seemed not fit the screen properly...even after using wvga fix(?).
The battery life was rubbish with a 6.5 rom, no matter what i tried.
I loaded up the stock wm 6.1 for my touch hd and put spb shell 3.5, as well as s2u2(screen lock). My battery time was now well over 3 days for average phone/text use and all my software(tomtom, memory map etc) all fit the screen correctly and i have no problems. BUT, i am the sort of guy who need the latest and greatest(lol) so my question:
Which rom would be the most suitable for my htc touch hd that has great battery time, gets a fast fix for gps and everything fits the screen properly without having to use patches etc ?
Many thanks,
steve.
Supress your need and stay with stock 6.1...
I'm just flashing Blackstone_OrangeUK_1.59.61.2_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24_Ship_phone_software.exe
I dont have orange, i have o2 but thanks anyhow,lol
I'm using the Topaz 2.53 Stock rom Sense 2.5 with 2.1 Messaging (OS 5.2.21887 Manila 2.5.20113030.0) for almost a year now.
For a long time every thing worked great, messaging worked fast, the hebrew worked perfectly, even the cookie home tab was moderately fast.
In the last two-three months, I noticed that my topaz got significantly slower than it usually was, and that even right after a soft reset (56% of the memory is in use).
I can't understand what had happened, since I haven't installed any new software in the last six months, and haven't changed any setting too.
Has any one else had the same experience ?
hard reset or new phone will cure it.
Some good news and some bad news..
I did do a hard reset, and the phone worked as expected - like new.
I recomend installing the NeoS2007_Driverpack_3, it made the effects look smoother.
After installing CHT (1.8.5 btw) it got a little slower, and after synchronizing with outlook it went back to the original "old" state.
I can say that I could isolate the problem to the home tab, all other tabs are fast.
More over, I can say that overclocking the phone did not solve the problem (or have any effect for that matter).
Can someone tell my if the newer versions of CHT work faster ?
Or is it possible to make the clock smaller and add the flight mode as quicklink without CHT ?
Thanks

hi, i got my Diamond2 in October 2009, so it is not even 2 years old now. the plastic body is not holding so tight anymore, I bought 3 more batteries hoping to last longer than 1 day of intensive (i used those batteries, which were significantly worse after 1-2 months of use and I am back to the original one again). I flashed the ROM several times, used tess for 1 day, duttythroy for 1 day, EnterpriseV for 1 day, and I sticked to EnergyROM with CHT 2.0.0.0 again. having 80mb of free ram after soft-reset is pretty ****ty, but what can I do? still better than using the stock ROM. the phone is slow since I started to use WM65. it was significantly faster on WM61, but the lack of WM65 features made me accept the slow-down.
necessary tweaks - use the advised amounts of cache (use Touch Tools to adjust it), disable animation, no clock flips... keep it to the "low detail game settings..."
tlsty
Happy end
I decided to give the new CHT (meaning 2.0) a try, and that made a big difference.
The home tab is not laggish any more, at least no more than all the other tabs.
Any way, my conclusion is to do a hard reset every once in a while, and more importantly, install every software in the right order.
Thanks guys
Why not performiung a Hard-SPL and get introduced to the awesome world of customRoms? You will be surprised how snappier TD2 feels on a 20922 build plus all the custom rom goodies
EDIT: Oops just read your last post, everything is fine now... but I would recommend you a custom rom based on a far newer build with Cookie HomeTab 2.0 cooked in. It makes a huge difference, believe me.
The problem with using new roms is the hebrew. I have now a rom that the hebrew language does not mess. I'm sure other hebrew speakers managed to overcome this problem even with the use of wm 6.5.x, but for me this rom good enough.
I might want to use the android (including the sense), once it could be made the native OS .
