So - You are new - you have not used this ROM and yet you are making requests of the chef? ;)

Why would you want a "clean" ROM and leave out features?

1. because you don't need them - ok don't use them or uninstall them

2. because they slow down the ROM - you have not used this ROM so you don't know how fast it is and yet you want some removed? ;)

Try it - you'll like it. It is fast and stable - he has already said that V3 will only include base ROM stuff or a couple of minor things.

Battery usage

I did a series of testings with

different radio's

with BattBench.net simulator (Cab to be found on XDA) and can not get more than a dreadfull 250-300 min battery life.

Sherlock Holmes and hercules Poirot are giving up on me investigating this cause as it is in contradiction with WHK's findings (using the same Radio)

Guess that my device (as indeed pointed out by Shogun, each device is different) does not fit.

Will wait for a V3 release :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
I seriously doubt that you will have a difference (from what ShogunMark says he is going to change / fix) in V3.

You are saying that you have a 7200 and flash this ROM - and right out of the box after a hard reset you get this horrible battery life?

Wow - I have

TOMTOM

TRACKME

MyMobiler

Kaiser Tweak

(I honestly can't think of anything else that I have installed on it) installed and running.

Other "changes" that I have done -

I set Kaiser Tweak to turn off internet connection after 1 minute (did you do that? - without that it EATS BATTERY FOR LUNCH!)

I leave Bluetooth on all day long and let it find any of the three BT headsets or car phone adapters that I have when I am near them.

I do NOT have WIFI turned on all the time.

I set Kaiser Tweak to all recommended settings.

I took off Shogun's "black theme" that he likes so much and put on the pretty GREEN theme that he left on it.

I have the screen turn off after one minute and RELIGIOUSLY push the power button to turn on my screen and turn it off (the screen only) when I am done looking at it - I NEVER leave the screen on to turn off by itself. Although -0 now that I have all this extra battery life - I may get a little less anal about this.

This honestly is the ROM I am going to use for a long time - (or until I find any terrible bug) ;)

I keep responding because I know EXACTLY how you feel and how great I felt when I discovered this ROM and would really like to get yours working like mine is working.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ceevee369:
@ Bill - WHk,

Beat me to Death :D but for sure I am not giving up on this one and will -one day or another - find the cause

The only thing I still can do is look at advanced config reccomended setings once more as all other points you refered to are similar or better

SPB is not the cause as removed, no wifi, no 3G enabled constantly, no internet, no taskmanager or other monitoring programs running... nada.

The only thing I still might think of is the combination of Garmin XT and the internal GPS. not that i can see any activity, but I do remember there was a thread about battery draining due to GPS. Will look into this.

I'll hard reflash and gradualy install all applications while running BattBench after it . This should determine the guilty one :o

Again, it is not the ROM itself , but my own device i am afraid.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
before beating everyone to death about battery issues, who has what and who dont, etc... keep in mind the hardware thing, someone could have a bad battery (one of my devices does), or faulty hardware, cell coverage, phone constantly searching for 2G/3G, etc... the possibilities are endless. At this point its just better to agree to disagree.

My findings

Hi Shogunmark,

Great ROM, its fast and stable. Its the longest ROM I have kept installed on my Tytn so far among so many cooks. Love your secret recipe for SPEED!!!!

Anyway, here are some findings

1) Keyboard fix does not fix the H/W kb mapping issue - hope you can fix it in yr official ROM

2) I am using a different version of IM+ (Ver 4.57) unlike the one you have posted (V5.x -Trial). Some other ROMs have this issue too where you cannot type any msg or crashes the phone. Was wondering if you know how to overcome this.

3) GPS takes quite awhile (2-5min) to lock on for Garmin XT and Mapking. I assume that is related to the Radio. Tested with both 20.29 and 14.06 w/o much difference

4) 14.06 radio seems to fair better in terms of GPS signal and Data Connection speed but I have more missed calls issue as compared to 20.29

5) Ran MemMaid - did some system optimization and it "feels" slightly faster. Maybe its psychological but the setting from MemMaid was File cache: 2M, Font Cache: 32MB. Sorry I didnt check your orignal settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
1. The original keyboard layout is for the tilt, the keyboard fix i posted is to change layout to tytnII.

2. The previous versions of IM+ are incompatible with wm6.1, this is why i posted the leaked version of IM+ that is compatible.

3. The initial GPS lock can take a few minutes, but should go faster after that, the only thing i can suggest is trying different radio combinations.

4. The rom was designed for 20.29 from the carrier, however doesnt mean its the best one for it.

5. file cache is 4MB, and font cache is 32KB not MB

i know that the gxmark is in the first post but out of curiousity does does anyone have an spb benchmark for v2 possibly v3 as well:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
No one has V3 yet... actually i dont even have V3 yet, its still a work in progress.

Not to mention i think more and more people are starting to dismiss GXmark for reliability. I have 2 devices, 1 aways reads the 1588 or 1558 which ever is the standard one that everyone gets, and the other device will give different values
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ghettochild:
This is easily the best rom i've seen but it is not suited for Australia.

I found some issues that i need solutions for.....HELP!:rolleyes:

Video call doesn't work

Gps - no signal at all

Network - im with 3 mobile & it doesnt show, but still works and you can call

Everything else works really well. I wonder if another radio might fix the gps problem. It would be cool if you could make it work for everywhere.

Keep up the good work!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] scotchua:
here's some help:

The dialer does not support video dialing because the chef doesn't use it, and the tilt doesn't have a front camera and therefore it's not as useful of a feature. As i have a tilt, i have not tried it, but i believe that video dialing is supported if you get a dialer that supports it. Try here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2232038&postcount=170

As for the GPS, make sure that QuickGPS has been run first or you may not get a signal. Also try one of the two other radios that work with this rom, maybe you will have better luck. It is very location dependant it seems.

There is a program called "personalizer" where you can make it show whatever name you want instead of the carrier ID (in my case AT&T), if you want it to show your carrier then remove that program, otherwise go into programs and run it and change the name to whatver you would like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ghettochild:
Thank you for replying. I will try those things and report back.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
OK - you state that your settings are the same as mine or BETTER.

You then state that NO 3G running constantly - MINE is running constantly.

Now - like Shogunmark states - lots of things can be different - like - I am in a constantly great place for signal where 3G is ALWAYS available and you are not?

It may not be solvabale - ...

just thanking my lucky stars I found a rom that has this good a battery life cause I really need it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] webvan:
Is that the one http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-battbench-net-1-00.html ?

Couldn't find it on XDA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ceevee369:
Yes, it is that one indeed.

Though it is used by some chefs to report (or overwhelm )the audience with everlasting battery life, scoring mainly depends of the settings used.

Back screen at lowest luminosity will have 3x longer simulated batterly life than on highest.

To close the battery debate

(which I agree lasted to long and is not bringing added value to this thread)

The draining has "stopped" without any reason. Still have 85% after 10 hours with normal mixed use.

Let's just call it wonders of technology hehe.

Case closed and watching the horizon to see some birdies showing up with a "3"behind their tail :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wnirenberg:
I have Garmin Xt on my tilt and had a similar battery problem. I solved it by going into your Garmin XT settings to the Garmin Online setting and change it to "Prompted" instead of "Always". It seems that if it's set to always then it constantly is using the gps and your data connection, which accounted for the major battery drain.

Dope that helps for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mugglesquop:

Is anyone else having problems wth their backlight control? I keep trying to change it to a 30 second timeout (while on battery), but it keeps reverting back to a 10 second timeout.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SouthernLuke:
Initial settings were on 30 secs. Counted it out (30 seconds). Swapped it to 10 secs. Counted it out (10 seconds). Swapped back to 30 seconds. Counted it out to 30 secs.

No issues apparent on my end.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GermanGuy:
Shogunmark,

Loaded up your ROM yesterday and liking it very well so far. Thank you for sharing.

One question: In button menu, i do not see an option for "press and hold button 6". Is that available on this ROM. On my Tytn II, this is the button that i use for Voicecommand.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
Where are you setting this?

Try START>SETTINGS>ADVANCED CONFIG?

Also you can download and put Kaiser Tweak on it and set this there?

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SportbikeRiderXX:
I've tried changing it in the normal device's backlight/power settings, I've tried setting it with the AdvancedConfig tool, AND I changed it in the registry via PHM RegEdit. So far, NONE of those methods have stuck. It ALWAYS reverts back to a 10 second timeout. Sometimes backlight will keep the setting for up to 3-5 minutes of use, but most of the time the backlight goes dim right at 10 seconds.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
its 3rd party software... What all have you installed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
That brings me to another point, then the battery debate can die... Alot of the times the charge reported from the initial flash is incorrect, but after its had time to drain a little and plugged in to power up it usually puts the battery and driver in sync and all is happy...

ok, now the battery debate is over :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SportbikeRiderXX:
Only Weather Watcher, Today Agenda, Opera (8.65), MS Live Search, Schap's RSS Hub, and PHM EgEdit. None of these programs influence backlight (as far as I know) or have given me a prblem with any other ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cmloo:

No matter what you say, the 1.65.xx..xx are horrible for battery life in my area.

Once again radio's are very dependent on location :)

I am pretty much only going to use ROM's that support 1.64.xx.xx and 1.58.xx.xx radio's :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
phm regedit, opera 8.65, and M$ live search should be cool. I just installed weather watcher last night and have no issues with it... on hunch try un-installing Schaps RSS hub.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
out of curiosity, how was the radio from hell in your area? out of all the ones out there i actually found that one to be the best! But regardless of being able to fix it or not im still staying away from it :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Well I had it on my phone for about two weeks. Pretty much it was horrible for me as well. My new Tilt is security unlocked but I am still to afraid to flash that radio again. I don't know what it is about the 1.65.xx.xx radio's but whenever I use them my battery has great stand by time but as soon as I use it the battery drops it almost seems exponentially. :) As far as GPS goes though the 1.65.xx.xx radio's seem to be much better at picking up the satellites a lot quicker then the other WM6.1 Radio's. For me and other AT&T users, the NIKI 1.58.16.27 offers the best battery life. I don't know the reasoning behind this but it definitively offers the best battery life for most AT&T customers.

I would love to see your ROM with two different versions. One for users who like the 1.65.xx.xx raidos and one version with the 1.64.xx.xx radio's this way it would be the users preference to which one they want to use. I am actually working in the kitchen to see if I am able to do this myself but I don't want to step on any toes by doing that.

To make sure that the 1.65.XX.XX radio's are not the sole reason for my battery sucking juice when I use them, I just purchased a OEM Battery from an e-bay online dealer. It's the same exact battery that came with the phone. This way I can test out the battery issue, not one battery but on two.

I will let you know if I have different results with the new battery. As far as I can tell right now I don't think I will be seeing a difference.

BTW,

Keep up the great work on the ROM. I truly love it :) I would be using it right now if it used the 1.64.xx.xx and 1.58.xx.xx radios :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
ATW -

Just for the record - the VERY FIRST day on this ROM the battery was no better than before - however after one day (approximately) on the ROM the battery life improved beyond belief -

I took it of charger this morning at 5:30 AM and it is 1:15 PM CST now - and I have 91% battery life left.

Yippee - that is totally acceptable for me.

I am going to turn on Tom Tom and see what happens to battery life with it on without being on a charger (something I have not been able to do before due to battery suckage...)

Out of curiousity....

When I loose signal due to being indoors sometimes, when I click the icon to bring up the network tab to reconnect, the Comm Manger silently comes up in the background.

Thoughts? Opinions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
I agree that the 1.65.20.29 seems to be the best of the 1.65.xx.xx radios as far as battery life. However, for me, I missed 5 calls in an area where I was getting full signal and had 3 new text messages pop up suddenly. I know for a fact another AT&T user in Southern California had this happen to him as well. This was not a one time occurrence as when my girl was trying to call me it went straight to voicemail, again in an area in which I was receiving a full signal.

iGO8 works just fine for me on this ROM.

Up All Night (and Day)

I have an issue I can not explain that cropped up in v2 or Death Warmed Over as I like to call it. The phone now randomly wakes up from sleep and stays on. I press the side button to put it down but about 2 min later back up it comes. This is the reason my battery life has been awful. The backlight keeps coming on. No programs are running in the background and I have re-set it twice as I am watching it and typing this. any iteas on this one? I love this rom but will be reverting back to my last one until this stops draining my battery.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
Things that make the screen wake up:

1. are you checking messages regularly automatically?

2. GPS is not on (all things that check gps?)

3. wifi on?

I believe that possibly the phone has to "wake up" go make these connections and that possibly one of them is "waking up" your phone and showing the screen?

Bill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
before we go around beating a dead horse with the backlight issues... as i stated many times before in the V1 thread and in this one somewhre... the core ATT rom that i used has intermittent backlight issues. And this rom will remain beta until ATT releases a new rom that i can strip and r@pe .

So YES there are backlight issues, you just have to play around with it till you can manipulate it to work.

I actually think the white screen that comes on intermittently is due to the push heartbeat, but thats my own theory, not sure what else is screwing up the actual backlight.

The only thing i have NOT personally experienced was the 10 second backlight bug (i did once but it was directly related to a .net app i installed)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jakedog:
All settings off

I reviewed the settings you listed and none are on, I recieve mail manually and am not on wifi. I did also notice there were words that flashed in white toward the upper left corner of the screen when it woke itself up. Very small type and just for an instant. I could not make out what they said. Awesome rom though. Definitely a keeper once the wake up is solved.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] whk:
OK - since this is happening to you every 2 minutes it should not take long to read those words ;).

THAT will be our best bet to fixing this - I am not seeing this on my phone and since something specific is happening on your phone I suspect it is not the Windows "bugs".

So far so good. One very noticeable thing is my videos. On other ROMS even WMV files that I specifically encoded to play on pocket pc did not play well with high loss of frames but I just clicked on one and even with the default media player they play well.

A little bit more exploring and the great thing about this ROM is not what you can see (which is still appealing) but what you cannot see. The rom is smooth and stable not the fatest so far tested but not much of a difference.

Do not know what you did for the video but it works so much better. Only gripe so far is Skype not working and the fact that because this is a 1.65 radio I assume I cannot use the 1.58.16.27 which so far has given me the best GPS experience.

Thanks very much for allowing public testing will anxiously await your future releases.
