[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nanoo-eg:
I have flash in my HD onkolog’s new rom, 12 hours before and I would like to say my first impressions.

This rom is really very - very good.

From the day which Olinex gave us the “Hard spl”, I have flash a lot of roms, so I have a small experience.

I had not tried before Onkolog’s rom. For old manila, after checking some roms from XDA, I found more near to me Panosha Black pearl.

The last month I needed a rom from new manila version so I try in XDA.

I have flash all the roms bur never I was happy, except Dutty’s 1.9

So the last days with the new Rhodium I search again. I tested all, but every rom has different problems.

Bigger problems: bad management of the energy which made battery not enough for hard using.

Another also serious problem is the height program memory.

And thirst problem was the low speed at the opening of the programs.

Of course all these problems are general for the new Topaz – Rhodium roms, but at some of them the problem was very big specially at the battery and programs memory.

The last one I test for 2 days, after some hours, used memory going at 76% and gave red line at the System Info.

Onkolog’s new rom until now going very well at all. Sure with this big manila it isn’t possible to have memory like at the old versions but looks normal. Can arrived until 60% after some hours with hard using but no 76.

We can play also with page pool to make the problem less. For the moment I have it at 20, I will try in 16 also and if I am not happy, I will come back at 12 which it was the best size for the old manila roms.

Battery going also better than the other roms, but I need 2-3 days to be sure.

This which I was sure from the first moment after flashing, is the height speed of the rom.

After 4,5 months with Blackstone, I can understand if a rom is fast or no. But I didn’t want to stay at the feeling, so I made some Benchmarks with SKTools.

It is the faster rom with second Panosha V2.1

Look at the screenshot.

If you want to see practical how fast is, Open the windows folder with resco explorer. Before you take your fingar from the screen will be opened.

Finally I am not happy from Topaz Rhodium. They looks, that they are not ready for Blackstone and I don’t know how will be at the new Diamond 2 and Pro 2.

Before we thought that HD memory it is very big but now with this manila looks small. I wait the arrival of new Diamond to see how will be on this,

because with all these cooked roms I thought that I come back at the old Diamond with the small battery and small programs memory.

Before I flash Onkolog ram, I was ready to come back at the old manila.

I will stay, but my opinion for new manila it isn’t the best. New changes cost very match at energy, memory and speed.

New start menu it isn’t real new. They took the programs Tab and only change the name. I will prefer a start menu with icons, but to be for example like “Winter Face”.

I will wait for the new version of SPB shell and if I like it, I will flash a rom without manila to enjoy more my Blackstone.

Sorry for the big post. I think all of us we have the same problems.

A small problem at this rom

Don't work the keyborads of the Destinator and iGO8 navigator programs.

I will search the reason. If any other use these programs please check.

Mio Map work correct.
