Afternoon,
Is anyone working on a light Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom as yet? There were loads for the Blackstone when I had that and all quite stable and good. Just wondered...

They might turn up in time, you'll need to wait for the Hard SPL before cooked ROMs appear. There's mention of the Elite ROM project making a 6.5 ROM, and there's normally a lite version.

Sounds good, I'll get a donation there way. Anyone else noticing such high memory usage from stock version? 62% Im using!!!
Yeah, same for me, around 60% and about 53% when using it without TF3D, but kinda starting to like the touchflo interface...

Hi memory useage is down to heavy cache settings and opera always running in background. It could be brought down but then TF interface and opera would not be as responsive. There is still plenty of mem free so suits me fine. Prefer responsiveness over free mem any day.
Cheers,

what good is RAM if the device doesnt use it? its not a bad thing if more than 50% memory is being used imo, after all thats what its there for: to be used if the device starts slowing down because it needs more memory than it has, thats when its getting problematic.

Well,..... how about killing batterY? that's one major issue most of us have issues with...
dunno, my battery lasts like 5 days, even with 60% ram usage

Guess WM6 really has some battery issues... and they are NOT coused by BatteryStatus. I think it has something to do with going to sleep mode, sometimes battery is OK other times its not... Yesturday when i went to sleep i had 90% of battery, after 7 hours it dropped to 35%... Probably some aplications that i installed dont know how to manage the sleep option in this rom, or the rom has some problems with it... its kinnda sad, since i have to charge pda twice a day now
Thinking of going back to 3.3 ...
P.
oh and not coused by batterystatus is couse i didnt have it installed for few days now, just to make sure... but had smatrskey and omapclock set to 240...
battey
I'm using the orwell rom and to my suprise the battery life rocks. I think I got about a 20-30% increase. I don't know why though
WM6 edition ?? where to get that rom ?
Don't have any problems with battery life! Seems to me too that WM6 improved it!

Is this one of the clean roms or one of the PDAVIET roms? What all is in this rom? I tried Orwell's rom and PDAVIET's, I am not really satisfied with either of them, too many bugs for me.
You can find what you want by googling the name of the known versions...... like viet.... or (you get it)

I have taken to powering down the phone for the night and guess what..no problems. Even if you leave the phone on 24/7 you should still reset once a day shoot I do it to my workstation everyday before I leave work why should the phone be any different.
Kirby
or you can just put a decent rom lime Molski`s and never reboot... it depends wether you want to use your PPC or experiment.
I admint, i also cannot hold myself and at least once a week i put some new rom and fight with it...
wm6
i have installed the final aku 2.3 from molski.
on top of that i installed the clean aku 3.0 (aka xbow)
it is running very very smooth.
installed this configuration on 4 other wizard and all off them work perfect.
Somehow the original request has been lost. You can find the files by google for the following.
1. PDA and a place of war in Asia
2. The last name of the author of animal farm + the year of the appl2 2c.
Have fun

Luxury! We used to dream of flashing once a week!
And, as nice as Marc's ROM's are, one has to reboot. Actually I think that not reseting your PDA daily, as your PC, is silly. But that's just me. (who makes money from people that don't want to reboot their PC )

What are people's observations re: performance of Kaiser? I've been using Hermes (8525) since last January, have gone through a few ROMs (now using vp3G's latest WM6 ROM), and I continue being annoyed by sluggish performance. With more ROM, a better CPU, and a different graphic chipset, I wonder how much better the Kaiser is at these two...
opening the keyboard... on the 8525 it takes at least a second for the device to handle that, and another second or two for the keyboard to become responsive. Very annoying, especially when I need to type in a GoodLink password or type up a quick response to an email.
waking up... depending on the apps running, it can take a half second to a second after I push the power button and before the home screen fully redraws (this is specific to waking up to the home screen)
Can someone please run some benchmarks on both phones!! would really like to see the performance difference, before i upgrade to TYTN II...
What benchmarks would you like to see run?
Subjectively, the II is a little nippier than the I, but not revelatory. The Ameo is still much faster at web page rendering, eg. But that could be as a result of a better radio as well as more horsepower under the hood.
The GPS seems pretty good. Finds satellites faster than the Ameo.
Is the GPS as good as the Sirf-III implementations??

Kaiser's performance compared to Hermes with WM6 (LVSW and Dopod's lately) is MUCH better. Waking up device - split second, literally. Switching to landscape - well, still takes a little bit of time, but looks snappier. Rebooting also clearly faster. So far I am really happy with it's performance, but don't forget, it has just been released. True judgements will come after some time of daily usage...
so Kaiser turns on fast - that's good. Does the clock update instantly, or do you have to wait a few seconds for it to update like the HTC Wizard?

The wizard is a couple steps down the line as far as performance and hardware.
on the 8525 the clock is instant.

I've got it now, but it says it should be done on freshly hard-reset device, takes ~35 minutes to complete benchmark, and it may destroy some user data. How sweet. Are you sure it's safe? To be honest, I don't like the idea of putting my data and possible hard-reset into risk, so maybe some volunteer with freshly unboxed Kaiser could get up for it?

You could just leaved it plugged in to the USB charger.
Of course, the benchmark is useless without also benchmarking other systems such as the Tytn, etc...
Can any body test the performance on TCPMP? If you can, can you brenchmark with the Matrix Reload 640 x 480 Trailer ?

Hey,
I'm in a quite busy time here, barely had time to install stuff on my device.

Nadavi..
You can try SKTools without having to worry about backing up files. Btw, it's just a trial version... just uninstall it once you're done. Thanks.
I've asked this a few times but to no avail. It's not anyone's problem but mine but I don't know how to fix it.
I've only done two mods to the phone.
The disabling of the auto-attach.
And the Boost TFL3D Performance mod#1 on the mod list.
My problem is simple.
The phone lags....
For example, when you click the people icon and then click your contact list, the damn phone takes forever to pull up on the screen.
The reason I sold my Touch Cruise is because this phone had a faster processor.
Please, can anyone tell me how to increase the speed of this slow azz phone?
If I can't do anything about it, I'm buying an iphone or something else.
Thanks much,
Mark
Certainly the best way to speed up the phone is to flash a custom ROM to it. There are many out there that are MUCH faster than the stock ROMs. I highly recommend Dutty's V1.2 rom, but there are certainly others.
Marky Marky Read read mate first
I have owned most HTC phones and after tweaking this is my fave and fastest so far...
Firstly what what ROM version are you using?
First post. Glad to meet u all.
I had official Vodafone spanish ROM until yesterday. My last phone was a QTEK s100, so no Wireless, no GPS, no Gsensor, no light sensor, no WM6.1, but it was fine, speed was OK. Diamond had poor speed compared to S100.
I flashed with the new official ROM from HTC and it seems a new phone. Try it.

Cool, I highly recommend flashing to Duttys ROM 1.2 at the Mo 1.3 should be with us in the next few days - I understand your frustration m8. I have been using these toys for years and they always need tweaking (but thats become half the fun)
What I will say is that you will se significant increases in speed from 1.37 which in honesty I thought was ****e and bug ridden so no surprises at your dissapointment. We are still a little way away from the perfect ROM but every time gets closer - rest assured. I think you will be pleasantly surprised after flashing to Duttys.
If you need anything else just shout shout.
NB. enable all the power management functions in schapps config and your battery will also last a hell of alot longer.

The latest ROM is 1.93 - and even without additional tweaks, it speeds up the diamond significantly. Make sure you flash that before tweaking and than complain again.

Can't help you but hope you're sure other phones will be faster. I thought with the 500 MHz processor in my Mio A701 it would be very fast compared to other WM phones at the time just to realise they were all slow.

does not work, forces the device to auto restart.
However, the creator is working hard to get one that works
Even if a X1 version is released, the only thing you might achieve is to fry your cpu and destroy the device years earlier than its expected lifetime.
How about Temp and Battery life, is it worthed ?

As the same arguement for Pc overclocking, the lifespan of a cpu is many years beyond what you are likely to use it. I.e the phone could last for less than 5years for all I care, 2years in fact as Ill upgrade to xperia 2 so I might has well "fry" it and gain a faster smooth and more enjoyable experience in return for a shorter lifespan.

I prefer to keep my tech working even after I stop using it. After all, you never know when you might need a backup device. Different points of view about this, I guess.
I agree with orelsi..I'd like my device to be in good condition even though I won't be using it anymore...you never know, you might come up short on dough with your plans of buying the x2 or x3 and selling ur x1 might give some additional cash for u to finally buy that device...of course if it's fried, no one will buy it or u'll only be able to sell it dirt cheap, for parts or whatever

somebody thought about downclocking the cpu? maybee some MHZ less could double the akku duration??!! =)

You would make the phone useless, for anything else than calling. I would prefer multitasking and good performance over battery any day.
waw it worked for me...
i install the tool and my phone way connected to pc with activesync and it ran at 800 mhz ,i was like (damn thats how the phone should run,smooth scroling in main menu ,benchmarked with sktools and got waw results ).
BUT when i took usb out of pc my x1 froze and i had to softreset.
and i couldnt run it again in my x1(now when i run it,it freeze or restart)
what a shame ,i hope the tool get stable so i can run x1 at 800.
