Just a note of thanks to xda

Been a tilt owner since Late dec/Early Jan '09, and only recently have I reflashed the 3rd party rom that came with my phone (bought it used). After some reading and research on this forum I'm proud to say that my tilt is running 95% exactly how I want it to - 5% accounting for an odd bug and some menu stuff I dont want lol.
My main reason for the tilt was its built in GPS and the qwerty kb. the rom that was on the phone was laggy in all sorts of areas, but now its super fast and clear type font works in landscape mode too
my setup:
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06_CubeV2_
KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01_CustomRuu
iGO8 GPS (Nav n Go)
SPB mobile Shell
now my GPS works, landscape switches over fast, keyboard works fast, I love this phone
Thanks everyone here on xda for all the great posts and info!

Good to hear when someone took the time to get to know their device and make it how they want it instead of complaining about the issues of the stock roms!
Just curious, what exactly are the issues that fall in your 5%?

part of the 5% is just lil bugs like running mobile shell + dutty rom, when viewing the missed calls menu, its missing the "calls in, out, connected" menu bar at the bottom at times, but reappears after a reset.
or stuff like when using a b/t headset, with my ringer on, sometimes it doesnt ring, when my old rom used to.. just lil things to figure out when i have time to play around with it more.
my most prized accomplishment is the gps, one of the sole reasons i wanted the phone

i've got the Tytn 2 as well, perfect pocket PC for me, Qwerty kb, Built-in GPS.
Everthing i want is in it, only the cam (3.1MP) is not enough.
But there is a lot of information on this website, i will thank everbody who has worked on it.
Now is wanna flash the ROM to install WM 6.5 beta, but its difficult cause there is so much info.
I think i can do it, with a little help.

Is there a fast,bug-free rom ?

Hi all,
I flashed my Blackstone round about 100time since I get it last year.
Duty,Miri,kwbr,energy,xanny and so on.....even some not so public.
I found not even one which works bugfree.
In most case the phone function is slow.
Did nobody else got this problem ?
Is there one rom which works fast and without the slow phone function ?
what i mean is :
If you start a call and drop it....the phone takes seconds until it drops the call ...
I mean , its a phone...or isnt it ?
This is no feature. This is the most common basic funtionality which has to work....
So can someone tell me a working rom ?
Cheers

(my favorite is KWBRs 3.4.x with manila 2.1 atm)

if you feel kwbr ROM than stick with it...different people have different experience so the ultimate question about "Which ROM is the BEST???" can only solve and answered by the user it self
just try and try until you feel satisfied or if you feel not one ROMs here can satisfied you than maybe "stock ROM" is the best for you

+1 on that. by now i am already used to that, but this is something i used to be annoyed about from the beginning. when i end a call i takes way too long!
since it is a phone the phone function should be working fast and reliable (sometimes i cant end a call at all/it takes around 1 minute). isnt there anyway to accelerate the phone function?

By default, there's a 3 second delay when you hang up the phone. You can reduce this or turn it off via registry or one of several programs like "HTCPedia HD Settings Tool"

Hi Guys,
I have also flashed many on my Blackstone and i agree with you guys that most of the ROM's are sluggish !!!
But recently i have installed "[ROM] [WWE, GER] [16.01.10] BlackDragon 1.9 Speed King (Manila 2.5, WM 6.5)" .. this one works like a charm ... trust me its way better than the others and its fast too ... Not as fast as the stock one though ... but you still like the difference ...

i think it's more of a PDA than a phone
also, remember that ROM chefs focus on different parts of the ROM, making different things faster due to personal preferences. Also remember that there are limitations to Windows Mobile, making it a woeful user experience. Hopefully WM 7 will fix a lot of that - but if you can't put up with these limitations, i'd suggest switching to Android, iPhone, Symbian or WebOS

You got the answer already. simply NO.

In Advanced Config Tool you can remove the delay there is for example end call delay around 1500ms so you wrote 0 and the delay is gone.. i always do that no matter what ROM i use and this work for me

+ 1 on this
No roms are completely bug free as we are all using ported versions of wm6.5 as it hasn't been released for the HD, and never will.
Cooks are doing the best they can with the materials on offer. The latest roms (wm6.5, manila 2.5+) will always be more sluggish than manila 2.1, so why not try one of those. Plenty of threads already exist discussing this
EDIT
I've reopened thread by OP request

no its not about "which ROM is the best " !
its about a main issue in ALL roms !
Maybe I would have another favorite if main phone function wouldnt be buddy
And as you see I am not the only one...who ich at first interested in this.
All the additional options of the different Roms are quiete cool...
One better than another. But at least the whole ROM is nothing without the basic option.
And its a phone, no netbook, no notebook......

pda, phone.....however.
who cares about how it is called ? I think nobody.
What I bought is a cellphone at first.
With many other options......which are working fine.
A PC, notebook, netbook I got at least.
But how can it be that the very first option to call/be reachable is buggy?
Please remember...we dont talking about a 50$ cell !
There are 3 digits !
Last year, as I get it I payed 600€...
Further you day that one focus this option to be faster...someone else speeds up another app....
ahm...sorry that I dont understand why notbody picks up the main task in order to get a working cellphone.
And you say WinX will fix. Sounds like the same **** Microsoft told us as the made the roll out of Win98, SE , ME, XP. Vista and so on.
I cannot hear this anymore...sorry.
NOBODY is interested in NO-WORKING SOLUTIONS.
Look at the iPhone. Working. No problem.Happy users.
Is there no way to priorise the "phone-task"?

thanks for you answer.
but 1500is NOT what we are talking about !
maybe its a step to the right direction.
I am talking about you never can say if your HD is lucky to end a call.
its a mess.
there is no excuse for this....wheter from HTC nor from MS.
I remember a phone with a dialplate.....about 20 years ago.
As I wanted to stop a call - it did ! magic? I dont believe !

I totally agree with you, but you'r wrong. If you want a working phone, try STOCK ROM, but don't complaint about cooked ROMs, especially if every master wants the hi-end/last version. All those ROMs are beta...

Tommorow I recieve my HD. Will try this rom first! Thanks for this tip!

Hi,
i also switched back to manila 2.1 in topix rom. great roms! no bugs, very good performance. but why no manila 2.5?
as i read htc has released a win6.5 rom with manila 2.5 for the diamond 2. diamond 2 and blackstone have almost the same hardware. and i guess that a officially released rom from htc cant be that laggy. so it should be possible to produce a rom like this for the blackstone. it doesnt have to have the newest packages.
would be highly appreciated if one of the chefs could look into a fix to prioritize the phone task.
flashing blackdragon now. thx for the hint.
hdizzel
btw: still waiting for a landscape only rom. does anyone know if something like this has been released by one of our dear chefs??
update: blackdragon fast but topix faster (manila2.1) as expected

Hello guys ,
This is my first offiicial post here at XDA and my first hands on experience with a touch HD.
I spent a lot of time reading the wiki and the rest of the forum to try and understand the fone hardware and the software. I've been trying to install basic applications to see if it betters the performance according to my needs.
Now , before i decided to buy the touch HD.. i did a lot of research myself and i narrowed it down to two options . Either the touch pro 2 or the HD. And i decided to go for the HD because I did not like the slide out keyboard and I simply love the HD design.
Now my question is , Although both the touch pro 2 and the HD are similar in terms of hardware is there any option where I could flash the touch pro 2 ROM to the HD ?
I was playing around with my friends touch pro 2 today and I felt for a second that I should have bought the touch pro2 because of the amazing speed at which the touch flo 3D works on that. [ oh btw ,it was a touch pro 2 sprint version ]
I just need the same ROM in my HD and I will be very happy
Is this possible ? If not , any suggestions for a particular ROM that would get me very close to the same experience I had with the touch pro 2 ?

just a few things
To comment on the last question, I would like to say that a friend of mine just got the Touch Pro 2 from Verizon and we have tried 4 or 5 different custom ROMs on it. I noticed that his touch pro 2 did seem to perform slightly better than my Touch HD. It was true for pretty much all the ROMs that we tried, so I don't think you going to find any satisfaction from a Touch Pro 2 ROM on your HD, and rightfully so because their not intended for the HD because of radios and landscape keyboards and proximity sensors and speaker phone capabilities, TV-OUT option on the Touch Pro 2 (not available for the HD) etc, etc, etc. They aren't the same phone and they don't get the same ROMs.
To improve performance on the few short things that were mentioned at the beginning of this thread, do try the registry hack to remove the delay for end call, it helped me. It also helped me to remove the dialer's key tone. This really did improve dialing speed because I am a speed dialer, its very important to me, the key tone slows it down and I could imagine that the vibration feedback (vibration on touch dial and keyboard and other actions) also slows the operation of the device. I have noticed because the vibration feedback does not feel tactile to me, turning it off completely helped me to regain some of the speed that I felt was missing. Also I have tried installing a more legacy dialer on top of the original ROM dialer, that also improved the performance of the phone feature. Do yourself a favor and try those things and make sure you address the serious problem of the hold button being pressed while holding the phone to your face, too bad the Touch HD didn't come with a proximity sensor like the Touch Pro 2 does! Keep flashing bros, this is half the fun!

Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 2.2.1 25.11,Fatsal-xperoid 2.0.1 25.11,Hero Sense UI 2.1 25.11

Hello folks.
I'll be posting an esy to use package for everyone who wants to try the lastest android builds for the xperia x1.
I'll also keep it updated to the latest releases.
Just unzip the archive to your sd-card root.
No need to enable wifi or bluetooth in win mo for any of the versions.
Have your phones plugged in during first boot !!!
Grab the 25.11 edition here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev kernel version from here.
Sp3dev's kernel seems to be better.
Working: -wifi
-bluetooth
-gps
-marketplace
-3d acceleration - neocore 15.7 fps
-3g works (orange romania)
-phone doesn't overheat
-phone speacker works
-great battery life for sp3dev
Warning: The boot takes a million years and the system is abit slow in the first minutes.
Changes:
-new kernels from xdandroid
Well it seems the new versions from sp3dev is quite ready for day to day use.
Starting now I'll provide Android 2.0.1 versions too. I find them to run smoother and better on the xperia. Also I'm hopping for better battery life.
Same kernels as above, the same things work.
Grab the xdandroid kernel version from here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev version from here.
And starting today im proving a Sense UI rom frm the HTC Hero.
A little warning they are even slower to boot so have patience and also boot logo is upside down.
Grab the xdandroid.2 kernel from here and sp3dev from here.
Note !!!! : Radio version seems to influence android quite abit. 1.14.25.55 seems to work the best. Please report your radio version and how android runs on it.
And on a further note I recomend this for dual booting. For more details go here.
Blimey I should organise my post better.

what about battery life?

Till now 3 hours uptime with mild use (3g on, some wifi and installing some applications and testing them) and battery is down to 98%. May be a bad battery reading or its actually having a good battery life, only time will tell. It running really cold compared to all the other builds i tryed which made my phone burn hot.

which kernel did you use?Thanks for one zip package

I've been using the latest kernel from here.

Nice release, have it running on my xperia right now.
Saw at the about screen its running froyo 2.2.1 although for some reason it won't connect to my wifi at home.
Nice release
i do have one question, how is the key mapping for the android? did a quick search but couldn't find an image that used to be here on the forums with the key mapping.

data connection not working for me.no 3g either.

New version is out. Probably better battery life.
3g does work but you need to configure your apn.
Regarding the key mapping I have no idea. I dislike the xperia's keyboard, never used it.

unfortunatly 3g won't be possible since i use my sim in my Galaxy S so i hoped for wifi to be working. About the keymapping. i meant the buttons under the touchscreen, not the touchscreen .
The release is running smooth on my xperia
do i need to run the sp3dev kernel version from the root or can i put it on the same SD card in a directory?

where can we download the new version

neo 299 see the first post.It's called sp3dev.
As for button mapping:
-power button is used for sleep and power
-call buttons are for call
-ok button is for back
-xpanel button is for home
-and left action button is for menu
No you can only have one release on a sd card. And I do recommend the new one more.

And thank you for the button mapping

Do you know how can i disable 3g so that i can use data connection.Otherwise data wont work for me on 3g.Thanks for sp3dev version upload.Much obliged

Settings > Wireless > Mobile networks > use only 2g networks

However, Megauploads gave error message :

Any chance you could upload it somewhere else as well ?
Thanks! HS

The sp3dev kernel version works fine, my X1 gets al bit warm but works. Tweetdeck works realy well, Foursquare will be tested tomorrow.
The only two problems I have till now are within the phone function. Kinda important...
1) I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me when calling.
2) And I don't have a clue how to add a ringtone.
Can someone help?

very good version of xdandroid.
fast and stable....
battery comsumption seems ideal??
but the main issue is no sound at all for me..
including ring tone, voice call...etc...
please help to fix~~otherwise, it is a really great build

Try using the other build. I think that one had working sound but battery wouldn't last so long.
And as for ringtones google a tutorial ).

I'm also having trouble with the sound.... no sound on calls, media, etc.... But when i test the ringtone there is sound...
Any ideas? Great build btw.....keep up the good work...

I have not installed this version. But ill do it later today.
On other versions when i had no sound on calls i just played with volume buttons while recieving call and then it worked.

NeoFroyo!! Well testing

hey guys!
Well i was trawling the android forums and found this!
http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?t=7524
All thanks yo neopeek for the rom.
I decided to test it out on my kovsky. This coupled with I believe duckkly's kernels worked like a charm!! ill post the kernels up here too as I experimented with quite a few to see what worked best!
Battery life: 8 hours on full blast so i rekon around 11 on normal usage
Wifi: never ever ever dropped on me so far! thou it does seem to be weak in some places around my house where i usually should be getting more signals and strong at places where i get little signal :S.confusing
phone: well calls come in and stuff but sometimes ull see a black screen and cant see who's calling! :S
Bluetooth: paired with my mw600s just fine dont know about file transfer
market:works just fine a bit slow though..could be my internet speeds out here in pakistan.
Apart from that using whatsapp like a charm. facebook apps. gaaps everything works!! not a single sod to date been using it for around about 5 days or so.
Sorry for the spelling errors! big thanks goes out to neopeek and duckkly or whoever compiled those kernels !
PS: oh and the keys will freeze up as you hit around 20% battery. I simply reboot. Also terminal doesnt seem to be working. keeps crashing on me but i dont really ever use it in daily use so it seems to be pretty stable apart from these flaws. Also you'll need to reinstall quickpic from market
Also im on radio 1.16 i believe. 1.14 seemed to drop calls randomly.
please read all of neopeek's instructions before flashing ! happy flashing

can't confirm 20% battery being the point where keys stop working. for me 4 hours of uptime seems the be magic point...
i stopped restarting modules via script (how to has been explained many times in here) and simply restart. most of the time it happens when an app is running - now what good is it if you have a shortcut somewhere, but can't get there because back- and home-key isn't working?!
but yeah, neofroyo is a big step forwards. first time using android on x1 is fun!
for terminal to work you have to reinstall it just like quickpic.
i just hope we'll see some kernel-update soon. without it the whole thing is pointless.

lol truee..thanks for the terminal update. oh if u press the camera button it will take you back to your home screen. than i guess u could load the keyboard modules..annoying i never bother with it. try my combination of kernel it gives me decent battery lifee but yea its the kernel with all the problems. tried the new kernels but they dont seem to work properly

hm, which kernel-version is that?
might try if i know which it is. just had to step down from ygge-monster to ygge-turbo. monster made my touchscreen getting unprecise in left half.
thx for the update with cam-button - never bothered to press that, since camera doesn't work anyway.
yeah, new kernels suck for our device, especially since they're missing the specific battery-driver for x1. the only guy still working on x1-kernel has been silent for months, but i can see he's still at it (porting 2.6.35.7).

Just tried pressing cam-button.
Falls back to lockscreen, after unlock shows homescreen. But system is frozen and after some time reboots directly to android. But lots of stuff doesn't work, especially phone-stuff. So i have to reboot winmo anyway.

i think its the ducckly's keyboard not loaded as modules turbo verison. I believe it should be that because i remember the msm drivers werent really working properly on it

[Q] Galaxy ace s5730 noob about what os to get and why.

Hey all.
Probably being asked before if so sorry but im very specific with what im after. I have a galaxy ace s5830 unlocked with talk mobile. Still got 3 quaters of a year contract and was wondering a few things.
Im getting a little bored of gingerbread 2.3.3 which is what my phone currently uses and even tho there should be a 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 i cant use the auto update thing as for some reason its not on my carrier yet. I could get 2.3.6 using a guide and stuff but if im going to all the trouble of wiping the phone cos of that i might as well give rooting a go and try a os like cynagen or whatever its called etc. I thought.
Good idea or just stick to what works? Whatever i get if i get it needs to be solid and stable and suitable for everyday life and every day usage.
If its a good idea then some questions on how to go.
1. What would be the most stable and most popular ones to consider, ive had a look but theres so many and im so lost. Something on jellybean maybe i dunno would be nice.
2. Camera wifi and usb connecting to pc for file transfer is a must that must work and work well with hopeful updates for the camera i.e faster way to launch it and touch to focus would be sweet as i dont think i have that on my current 2.3.3 gb. Also video for camera must work great too and keep the updated res that 2.3.3 came with i think or better if thats even possible.
3. Battery life would be nice to improve but tbh i dont have that much of a issue with battery life only thing is is when wifi is on it drains a bit quicker but generally it auto turns off when it goes off in to standby/sleep mode.
4. Able to install stuff ok.
5. Has gps and google voice things and search.
6. Touchwiz i think is what i use and might like to keep that i dunno what all the different ones are or if i like em so shrugs here as to what i want really but im used to touchwiz so..
7. I have backed up my contacts to sim and stuff and on pc and all media like pics and vids so i think im ok to do a rooting and new os unless ive missed somit.
I like the flashing on and off thing of cynogen mod i think its from is that only on that or others? I like that circle that rotates when you touch focus thing i saw in some vid for one of the os mods and turns green when in focus that would be nice to have i think.
Somit thats quick to navigate i.e swiping panels with icons on on the main screens would be cool especially with widgets like news and clock and things on my current 2.3.3 it can be a little slugish but in general is fine, im hoping somit new would make it smooth and very fast regardless of what widgets are on tbh.
I like a nice digital clock thats clean and stuff and shows date time and month etc but in a simple way. I use a sense analogue clock thing i think atm that i found which is nice. But well we will see what the os i get recommended has.
So yeah erm i think thats all i wanted to ask.
So yeah what should i be looking at in particular and maybe if i maybe so bold as to write a little description of what the recommendations are like and whats maybe not working for such ones.
So what new os should i look at and version for a s5830.
Thank you so much.

Camera wifi and usb connecting to pc for file transfer is a must that must work and work well with hopeful updates for the camera i.e faster way to launch it and touch to focus would be sweet as i dont think i have that on my current 2.3.3 gb. Also video for camera must work great too and keep the updated res that 2.3.3 came with i think or better if thats even possible.
3. Battery life would be nice to improve but tbh i dont have that much of a issue with battery life only thing is is when wifi is on it drains a bit quicker but generally it auto turns off when it goes off in to standby/sleep mode.
4. Able to install stuff ok.
5. Has gps and google voice things and search.
6. Touchwiz i think is what i use and might like to keep that i dunno what all the different ones are or if i like em so shrugs here as to what i want really but im used to touchwiz so..
7. I have backed up my contacts to sim and stuff and on pc and all media like pics and vids so i think im ok to do a rooting and new os unless ive missed somit.
I like the flashing on and off thing of cynogen mod i think its from is that only on that or others? I like that circle that rotates when you touch focus thing i saw in some vid for one of the os mods and turns green when in focus that would be nice to have i think.
Somit thats quick to navigate i.e swiping panels with icons on on the main screens would be cool especially with widgets like news and clock and things on my current 2.3.3 it can be a little slugish but in general is fine, im hoping somit new would make it smooth and very fast regardless of what widgets are on tbh.
I like a nice digital clock thats clean and stuff and shows date time and month etc but in a simple way. I use a sense analogue clock thing i think atm that i found which is nice. But well we will see what the os i get recommended has.
So yeah erm i think thats all i wanted to ask.
So yeah what should i be looking at in particular and maybe if i maybe so bold as to write a little description of what the recommendations are like and whats maybe not working for such ones.
So what new os should i look at and version for a s5830.
Thank you so much.

all roms ave their advantages and disadvantages, android phones only run on android, not a different os, cyanogenmod is android. from my experience i would say cyanogenmod10.1 would be the best for you, only problem with that is, ums doesnt work, but u can use clockworkmod recovery for that(it has the mount usb storage option), clockwork mod has to be installed before u flash any rom. i recomend you try out a few roms you like, and choose from there, and read comments. (IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO FLASH A ROM, DONT TRY RANDOM STUFF, FOLLOW SOME TUTORIALS AND STUFF FIRST)
