I also have no more freezes since I got rid of Hard SPL.

So to sum things up: Hard SPL f*cks up the phone :) Funny thing to see a lot of people on XDA shouting and blaming HTC for releasing a new crappy 6.1 ROM...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RPG0:
First of all, Hard SPL is great, it's just not updated.

Second, the new 6.1 ROM is crappy, no performance gain, no issues solved, just an update to wm 6.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vcespon:
For me it's just funny how I ended completing the circle. I'm back with a phone with the official SPL and official ROM, and no strange behaviours. Less storage space than with WM 6.0 ROM, but I can cope with that.

Meanwhile people using cooked ROMs have problems with video not recording well, missing G icon, missing disconnect icon, missing apps that came standard with the official ROM, having to modify the registry to make things that worked work again..

Maybe I check back these forums in a few weeks, but for the moment I got tired of beta-testing ROMs that have no real improvements over official ones. I can enable caches with Kaisertweak and install utilities myself.

List of favourites:

Original WM 6.0 + 1.27.12.17 Radio

Official 3.02 + 1.58.26.20 Radio

Official 3.29 + 1.65.16.25 Radio

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Boinng:
HardSPL is great, and without it and much of the other work of the devs on this forum, I'd still be stuck on the crappy Vodafone Rom my "V1615" came with. Instead I got to use the much better HTC Rom for the last six months, and tweak it just how I liked. I also got to update to the new 6.1 Rom, which again wouldn't have been possible in the first place without Hard SPL.

Nevertheless, it does need updating, and I'm guessing there are other things the Kaiser Chefs can learn from this latest release. There is much to like about this new rom in my opinion, with the new SPL installed it's smoother and more responsive than the either the original or cooked roms I've tried. TBH, I'm sticking with it - unless some genuine advances are made in the driver department.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Billun:
I have to admit that i didn't believe this was the cause of the problems so i had to try it out.

When i installed the stock swedish 6.1 rom from the beginning i could't use it, i hung all the time and the touchscreen was dead from time to time.

So i gave it another try today and installed htc spl after the flash.

Imagine my surprise when my kaiser worked all of a sudden.

No screen lockups in all day.

And after a little tweaking the speed is actually ok.

French SPL

Hi All,

Can somebody upload French SPL compatible with Official HTC 6.1 ROM?

I've already installed HardSPL (on a French Tytn II) and I've the HTC 6.1 Official French Rom...

The required steps are:

1. Install Original FR SPL

2. Reinstall HTC 6.1

That's all??

Thx..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MickyMax:
Yeah, that's all... :)

You can make a Hard-reset if you want but it's not required... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] undac:
I also used this "trick" on the latest swedish 6.1-update. Works fine now but I feel as if the sensitivity of the touch screen is somewhat lowered now (not that I can see how the SPL could do that but on the other hand I didn't think the SPL could cause the touch screen lockups to begin with :))
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tiberiusva1:
Different approach

Has anyone else tried just removing 1 tier secruity option on the 6.1 install? I used the Microsoft security configuration tool from the Power tools MSDN download to turn off security and add all the development certs and now my device seem to behave better. No more lockups. I have only been using it a short time since the change, but so far so good. My thoughts:

1)Maybe there is something running on the device with developer certificate signature. Seems unlikely.

2)Maybe doing the cert check for each application startup was causing the slowness.

Note: Previously I had hard spl installed and used several different black and duffy roms. I had the dropped screen tap and slow response issue described by many.

I will report back later in the day if the issue still has not reappeared since this seems like a much more desirable fix then having to flash the ROM again multiple times.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Boinng:
There really is no "flashing the ROM multiple times" needed. If you have the new 6.1 update installed already, but are experiencing freezes because you're also using HardSPL, all you need to do is use the files from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2236890&postcount=73 to flash the new SPL only. No reset needed, no loss of data, no multiple flashes, just a new SPL and no more probs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Trombone69:
Anyone with any tips on getting this to work? I have an MDA Vario III which I used HardSPL on, and then the new HTC WWE 6.1 Rom. I have the device lockup issue so now want to put the original SPL on. I get an error saying that my PDA can not be found on XP and ActiveSync 4.5...although the same computer was used for the HardSPL and ROM Upgrade...

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mightyox:
Just got it to work after a few attempts. Here is what I did:

1. Connect to ActiveSync

2. Run SSPL-KAIS.exe on the Kaiser

3. Wait for ActiveSync to disconnect

4. Unplug Kaiser

5. Wait a few seconds and then plug Kaiser

6. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe

Damnit, can't get that to work..I get to the point where the update should start, but it just says 0% for a minute or so, and then I get the connection error message.

I run Vista, and JumpSPL instead of SSPL-KAIS.exe (due to the white screen problem)

Yes, yesterday, i have the same probleme and the solution is to unplug the usb but to plug it in another usb port, wait vista to connect and then run kaiserRUU.

Summary of this issue so far

Hi

I would like to verify my understanding after performing the above recommendations on my Kiaser:

1. Using the latest ROM by HTC , or alternatively the latest cooked - L26Kaiser_Diamond_Version_3 ROM , cause the above freezes of video and screen taps

2. In order to avoid it, we should flash the official Kiaser SPL and use the latest ROM after that.

3. If i want to flasjh a new cooked ROM, i need to flash hard SPL , flash the new ROM and flash again the official Kiaser SPL in order to avoid those issues

I would appreciate any feedback to verify my understanding , currenly i did the above steps and use the latest L26Kaiser_Diamond_Version_3 ROM - will verify if any problem left and will update later

thanks

spl ita

please I need wm6.1 official italian SPL. Can anyone upload it?

thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Billun:
1. I only had the screen lockup problems with the latest leaked and the official 6.1 rom.

I didn't experience these problem when i tried L26Kaiser_Diamond_Version_3 ROM (due to its not a kaiser rom, but a diamond rom?)

2. I you feel like it.

3. You have to flash hard spl before you flash a cooked rom.

You do not need to flash official kaiser SPL after that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kuvik:
I want to use cooked WM6.1 ROM (based on official HTC ROM) + HardSPL. Will it be suffered from freezing? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Billun:
I don't know, not all people experience these screen lockups.

If you are lucky you won't have these problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] chunkwok:
Today is a great day, i have DiaV2 while i'm flashed HTC WWE SPL back, but immediately i found V3 is there, i tried directly to flash to V3 while still on the WWE SPL, but it just stop on 0%, i hardSPL again, and flashed V3 without problem, and then flash WWE SPL. didn't actually seen increase in performance from HardSPL -> WWE SPL, but really the freezing is not there anymore...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pcwizzul:
I follwed the guide in the other post and built an SPL for the italian rom.

But when I start the SSPL-KAIS.exe and then launch the KaiserCustomRUU.exe

it says it can't connect.

If I start the device in bootloader (power on + camera buttons) KaiserCustomRUU.exe see the device.

Should I try JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe instead?

Please help me so that I can test the spl I made and if it works I can share it here.

Thanks!

PS: I'm experiencing often speed slowdowns with this rom...hope the SPL helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
SO EVERYONE KNOWS HAVING HARDSPL INSTALLED BEFORE YOU FLASHG ANY ROM IS A MUST!!!!.....

I have a feeling a bunch of n00bs are going to be flashing and bricking there kaisers after reading this thread by either not flashing HardSPL or forgetting they went back to OEMSPL and flashing a cooked rom. Until this is proven by someone please everyone just be careful!!! Just to be safe make sure you have HardSPL installed before flashing any ROM period. I have a feeling that what everyone is seeing is just a performance gain in the head... If this is true and HardSPL is slowing down are phones I will be the first to say sorry and I was wrong but I think if this was causing an issue Jocky, Pof, Oli, Comnex would have known about this :) Happy Flashing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] layer1:
I can concur the freezing has stopped. I have Diamond v3 installed and was experiencing the pausing effect. I applied the SPL for wm 6.1 and the pausing effect has vanished.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Billun:
Well said.

I can't see how the spl could cause this behaviour but i tried to reflash the new stock and went back to hct spl trying to prove that it wouldn't work.

The problem is that the freezing actually stopped.

BUT i did not experience and sigificant freezing in the new cooked roms with hardspl installed.

Maybe HTC did some changes in the newer releases so we had to go back to their SPL?

Post WWE SPL. :)

(i use more english than spanish and im in mexico xDU.. thats weird..)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stoobie-doo:
So, is the moral (for n00bs like me) - if you want to try the HTC stock ROMs

1. Make sure HardSPL is installed

2. Install 6.1 stock ROM

3. Use SSPL-KAIS.exe to go to install appropriate 6.1 stock SPL

4. Cross your fingers

If you want to then try anything else; a cooked ROM, or a branded 6.1 ROM once those come out; then re-flash HardSPL; install new ROM; and if branded again install appropriate stock SPL

I'd sure like to have the sequence right before I take my Tilt from stock AT&T+HardSPL to WWE 6.1
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vcespon:
One note more:

With the stock WM 6.1 SPL, the only thing you can flash is the official ROM. Not even the official ROM with the pagepool changed.

To flash anything else you need to hardSPL again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] eyeless:
With just the HARD SPL i had a lot of freezes and some lockups.

In everything and blackberry connect took forever to check emails.

I have flashed back to the original SPL and this is what i noticed (using the Enlgish WWE 6.1 from HTC on a TILT)

My blackberry connect is actually faster! Then on 6.0 it doesnt take so long to load emails.

No Freezes so far...except with PCM Keyboard.

Windows are faster and smoother, especially when browsing with file explorer.

GPS just fine.

CorePlayer - no QTV =( but it wasnt working before the flash either.

Going between landscape and regular view is painfully slow, but not so sloppy. So far everything i use on mine is working but coreplayer =(

Over all it seems alot faster and stable to me. Not perfect but better, then the last official AT&T 6.0 (with no bloatware).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] baallrog:
Did you perform an hardreset after flashing the original hardspl ?

1- Device is HardSPL enabled

3- Flash Official WWE SPL Only

So CID Check is only made at flash ... not at startup (noob revelation)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xwaiz:
with all these confirmations from different people, i flashed to htc stock spl last night. I did not reflash the stock wwe rom that is already changed to 16MB pagepool, nor hard reset after the spl change.

so, i now have HTC spl and 16MB pagepool on stock wwe rom.

i dont see noticeable improvement, but, do feel a bit better (probably in mind).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xboomer55:
See this...

If I recall, steps 3, 4, 5 are not detailed in the guide. Once I read to unplug and then re-plug the usb connection in a similar post, I no longer got the connection error msg and was able to proceed and complete step 6.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NotATreoFan:
I myself am getting throughly confused with this thread (damn root canal and Vicodin). But if I understood everything correctly, then it would go something like this:

1 - Currently running a cooked WM 6.1 ROM (HardSPL installed)

2 - Flash the new HTC SPL ripped from the new ROMs

3 - Done

So now my questions are: In order to take advantage of this new SPL, do I have to flash to one of the newer cooked ROMs (the ones that work with the latest radios [ie not Niki compatible])? Or can I keep my current Dutty's Apr 09 ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
You should only run the HTC SPL if you want to run the official HTC 6.1 ROM (and you believe the fact that indeed this helps the reported issues).

You won't be able to flash any cooked ROMs without HardSPL being put back on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stoobie-doo:
Hmm... gotta be n00b problem, but after flashing 6.1 WWE (which went fine); I get a 260 error when I try to install the new HTC SPL; I am pretty certain the issue is that I can not establish a USB connection to the computer when in bootloader; what I don't know is why

Screen is showing

KAIS1*0

SPL-1.JumpSPL

CPLD-8

It's a Tilt that has HardSPL on it; I've tried ActiveSync with USB connections allowed and disallowed

SD card is removed

Soft reset brings me back just fine, but I am assuming that I will want to get that darn 6.1 SPL onto the phone. How do I get my laptop to see my phone when it is in bootloader?

Not sure what fixed it, but one hard reset later; a new connection, and some patience, and it seems to have worked. Hopefully that fixed the lags everyone else has seen. Now to restore everything...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ionutz6:
so what if we are on a cooked rom, obviously with hard-spl and want to get rid of the damn freezes and still stick to a cooked rom?

just install original HTC SPL and thats it? coz otherwise i dont see any logic, i would not be able to install a cooked rom unless i reinstall hard-spl,w hich leeds to the same problem.

please correct me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
This thread is for the OFFICIAL 6.1 release.... all issues about "freezing" which some claim to experience are dealing with the OFFICIAL 6.1 ROM.

If you want to run the OFFICIAL 6.1 then flash the HTC SPL

If you want to run a cooked ROM then flash HardSPL

If you are running a cooked ROM and experiencing freezing issues, this is not the thread for you, nor is the solution changing your SPL. Go to the ROM's thread and post there for assistance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cymagnus:
Checkout post#154.

In fact, can :

1. Run SSPL-KAIS.exe on the Kaiser first without connecting to PC

2. After thwe bootloader screen comes up, wait a few seconds, connect the Kaiser to PC

3. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lewcamino:
This is for anyone still confused... kinda.

I am running L26 v3 (Cooked ROM, one of the best 6.1 out there...till tomorrow :P)

I ran SSPL on my Tilt (and I have a Tilt btw)

I then unplugged my device, and then plugged it back in.

I then ran KaiserCustomRUU.exe with RUU.Signed.nbh in the same folder (there is a RAR near the beginning of this thread with the three files you need).

I went through the prompts just like if I were flashing a ROM

This took about 5 seconds (SPL is very small compared to a full ROM)

My device then rebooted.

This does NOT hard reset your device but you know, backup early and often and stuff.

I am running the KAIS SPL (official) with the cooked ROM

When I want to flash L26 v4 (tomorrow...) I will simply put HARDSPL back (it takes 30 seconds people...)

"Do I think it is better?" Yes, there does appear to be improvement. Completely unquantifiable, but it is better. (L26 FTW as well!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lewcamino:
Replace every "tomorrow" in my previous post with "tonight"... Leo is a machine.

I wanted to add that this is not suppose to boost speed. It is meant to reduce the frequent "freezing" some have been having.

I am going to rock KAIS SPL for a few days (if Leo shuts down the ROM factory) and then see where I am at with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] baallrog:
Hi guys,

I have flash my hardspl with the htc spl.

There is an improvement in the freeze issue BUT I still have freeze ...

I have discover that when I have freeze my signal strenght is low ...

I was in a place where my signal strength is very good with WM6.0 ...

So I decided to stop gsm working with the comm manager.

Great, there are no freeze anymore !!

So I don't think this is an issue due to the hardspl but to the radio.

Especially to the gsm part of the radio !

The radio part must be buggy ...

Do the test before flashing hardspl. During a period of freeze, stop gsm with comm manager and see if the freeze is still here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Boinng:
You're right to point out that everyone needs to understand the difference between the stock SPL and Hard SPL, and that you do need Hard SPL before you try flashing anything other than the vanilla, stock ROM.

HOWEVER...

Nobody is imagining this fix! This really isn't in anyone's head, the issue with the new HTC Rom and Hard SPL is very real, and should be examined by the devs here, not ignored. I can place hand on heart and swear to you, since replacing Hard SPL with the new extracted 3.28 SPL, my device is actually working far better than it ever has - I suffered frequent "freezing" before making this change, and that freezing is now COMPLETELY gone for the past day since flashing the SPL yesterday morning. It's a very noticeable and entirely quantifiable improvement in stability and responsiveness.

It's not just an improvement on the performance of the 6.1 Rom running under Hard SPL either, I had freezing issues to a lesser extent on the old 6.0 HTC Rom, also running under Hard SPL, and in retrospect I do wonder now if there has always been an issue with Hard SPL. Is it possible that the original HTC SPL, upon which Hard SPL was based, had some problem from day one that the new SPL has cured? I'm just theorising here. Either way, I think this proves that the relationship between SPL and ROM is a little more complicated than anyone here imagined before.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] augusrad:
HTC SPL

I also have no more freezes since I got rid of Hard SPL people on XDA blaming HTC for releasing a new crappy 6.1 ROM it is not true - works fine with HTC SPL, let's wait for new HardSPL WM 6.1 roms ... before this time I have no problem to load HardSPL to my device and upload any other rom.

:o

So what if I bought the Kaiser with the official 6.0 Rom (NLD). I just installed the official HTC 6.1 Rom (NLD) and suffer from these lags and non-responsive touches on the screen.

What should I do then ? I've never installed HARDSPL and never installed HTC SPL. Do I need to install one of these SPL's and do that ActiveSync trick to get rid of my lags and so ?

Please advise this Noob guy ...

Do I need to install again ROM 6.1 and all the other programs after flashing the original SPL?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Boinng:
No - if you've already installed 6.1, you can leave that and everything else intact. It'll just start working better after you flash the new SPL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Boinng:
I don't know, is the short answer - I would have thought that an original HTC ROM with an original HTC SPL should have updated fine to the new ROM, complete with new SPL.

It's possible that the "freezes" you're experiencing could just be the normal background processes bedding down. If they're frequent and continue on into the second day of use, I'd say there was some other (possibly SPL related) problem.

Here's a test - can you soft-reset your device while holding down the Standby and Camera buttons? Don't worry, this won't do anything bad, it will just display your bootloader (SPL) information. Make a note of what it says and post it here? I think it should mention "3.28" if you have the new SPL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] neil@domino.org:
Been running since Saturday morning and no freezes. I just flashed the WWE ship rom as was so not sure if its overwritten the HardSPL, I don't think so.

For me the 6.1 rom is much more reliable than the 6.0, network connectivity works well and the device feels more stable. I was running the Tmobile UK rom before.

@bumfluv

can you do the following test for me please:

got to settings-->phone--> phone settings--> band:

switch to "GSM" option (default is "AUTO")

by doing this you will force you phone into 2G ONLY mode for now. no 3G.

run your phone in this mode for a while. see if you still have any issues with "freezing" in this mode. Please let me know so I can assist you further.

:EDIT:

can i ask forum members that are experiencing "freeze" issue to do the following:

1. see if forcing phone into 2G ONLY mode fixes this issue for you.

2. please remove your SIM card from the handset. see if this fixes the issue for you.

please report back to me if successfull and what option you have used.
