[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] 0rius:
As many others have said already this is a great ROM. However, I have had some stability issues with it and wanted to inquire about methods to fix the issues or figure out if there is something indeed wrong with my phone.

The problem/symptom:

The ROM runs FLAWLESSLY (best ROM I have used to date), but after about 3 days I will attempt to open a program using the launcher and nothing will happen. Basically the phone becomes unresponsive to launching anything. The interface can still be scrolled, I am not sure if calls can be made, as I haven't tried once the phone/ROM reaches this state. My yahoo email account was still able to send receive, but my Outlook/exchange account said there was an active sync error (code x80000 something). Using the hard button mapped to the connections screen also causes an error that states it cannot find the setup for the key. My next step is to turn off the phone or do a soft reset. Turning the phone back on or booting back up from the reset ALWAYS results in the boot/loading process stalling at either the PDACorner screen (displays radio/rom id #'s) or at the Black HTC screen. From this point the phone will never actually get past these screens, it just sits there, seemingly frozen and I have to remove the battery to turn it off. And thus begins the cycle.

I have hard reset the phone from this point twice with the same result after a few days, and also REFLASHED the ROM once in hopes that it was just a bad flash and the hard resets weren't fixing the problem.

SPL --> 3.29 Hard2

Boot screen version #'s:

R: 1.70.19.09 (Radio)

G: 25.83.40.02H (???)

D: 3.Abusalza (ROM, I assume)

Going to run through my post flash process for informational purposes and in case I am doing something that is a "bad idea."

1. Following the ROM flash (via usb) I let the normal setup procede, then do a hard reset to make sure everything is cleaned up.

2. Install cabs/fixes (Google maps v3.2.1, CleanRAM v1.7, ClearTemp v1.22, Guitar Hero III Mobile, Multipad v2.95, Tilt Keyboard Fix, Ultimate V9 BT Icon Fix, GPSWeather, Pandora, Music ID, and a couple of others I can't remember off the top of my head).

3. Change the start menu organization (ie change which shortcuts are in which folders) using Total Commander to copy/paste the links.

4. Paste in my version of HH_409_Weather_Cities so I can get weather for my area.

5. Setup my email. Yahoo and an Outlook/exchange account (email, calendar, & tasks).

6. Import contacts, call logs, and texts with PIM Backup.

7. Run ClearTEMP w/ select all.

8. Run CleanRAM @ level 3.

9. Soft reset via xdashutdown.

10. Profit! ;)

My questions:

A. Have I just been very unlucky or am I doing something foolish with my phone that is causing this problem??

B. On the 6.5 WM version of this ROM, chef Abu instructs users to flash a stock ROM before flashing the Ultimate X2. Should I try that for this 6.1 WM ROM? (Have read through a bit of this thread and haven't really seen any mention of doing that for 6.1 WM ROMs).

C. Are there any suggestions/hints/tips from the pro's?

D. Also, could something have happened hardware-wise to my phone and is there a way for me to do any diagnostics?

Thank you for your time.

Keep up the good work ABU!
