I'm in Dallas as well, using 1.65.21.18 currently. The battery life seems a bit lower but the reception is better than when I was on 1.65.24.36. I'm going to try one of the 1.70 radios when I get home from dinner tonight and update the thread with my results.

Also, for anyone reading this thread and thinking about flashing this rom, do it, or wait for the release immediately after this. I've been through 15-20 roms and this is by far the fastest and most stable I've used. I can run Kinoma Free Play, text message, and use the internet via Skyfire at the same time and the phone just never seems to slow down. I've always known this phone had a 400mhz processor and it never truly felt like it until this latest release by Josh.

Mad props, Josh.

hello! I really like latest lite build (thank you very much for it) only problem I got so far that all is grey instead of white? how get back to white background like in previous builds? thank you for your time
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ameiurus:
I have this 21820 ROM with radio 1.71.09.01 and I'm with ATT in the DFW area. My phone is on 3G 24x7 (several email addresses and IM) and the battery lasts right around 10 hours.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ralliart2k4:
I just flashed to that same radio and I'm having trouble getting a GPS lock in Google Maps. Have you had any trouble with that?

I may go back to 1.65.24.36. It's had the best GPS lock so far, but the battery life wasn't great on it and I use my phone for GPS a toooon.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] valenumr:
I totally agree! I'm using the Lite version and it screams compared to many of the 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs I've tried out.

As far as the radios... I switched to a 1.70 radio awhile back (unfortunately at the same time I switched to 6.5 ROMs), and I started experiencing poor battery life. One thing I did notice, and I think it is a WM6.5 thing, my internet connection is almost always on... it doesn't seem to automatically disconnect, so that may be more the issue than the radio.

@Josh... thanks again for the great ROM! Any chance you could link to the Album cab? It isn't in the lite version.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ralliart2k4:
I had some free time after posting this so I started going through radios testing for GPS lock/call quality. Phone is charging right now so I'll have more info on battery life once it hits 100%.

The best radio I've found for the DFW area is 1.70.18.02. GPS lock is fast and shows 5-6 satellite locks. Call quality is good, and as I said, batt info coming soon. 1.71 and 1.70.19 made my GPS stop working completely, so be wary of those if you're in DFW Texas.

After some further testing, the battery works great but once I started moving around, service is awful on this radio...2-3 bars at most. Back to the drawing board. :)

Thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] medic8r:
Josh,

Thanks for all the hard work. This has been my experience so far. I won't say I'm fond of WM 6.5 layout, but I must admit it is nice having my device run faster, and I really like the Advance Settings available. I'm getting more used to it overall and there are few problems with it. I regretted the upgrade to the WM 6.1 provided by HTC, not the least of which was because my device became a dinosaur. Now warranty is no concern of mine, so , I'm happy to experiment to get the next best ROM. :p

When using the Setting screen items, if I close the item, it goes back to the Today screen versus the Settings screen. Also, lock is only available after I press the "Start" button and I cannot set a button (like PTT) to lock the device (I keep the device on my belt in a case and use the headset a lot and now the screen can't be disabled in a call so I have no choice but to hold the device when on a call). No Voice Command or is there another alternative? Are these considerations in your future editions? Again, none of this is so bothersome I would switch back to a previous version, but feedback is what provides evolution.

I am having a few little issues on my Tilt. My touchscreen seems quite insensitive, requiring firm presses sometimes, very responsive others, and yet others I get nothing for several seconds. Using the navigation buttons gets me no better results. Some taps don't allow me to open despite the program being properly highlighted. Seems random and memory usage shows primo. With the Fn key mapping on the slide-out (I now call it my "F-in" key), most of the symbols are there, but not mapped right and navigation doesn't work with the arrow keys, while the $ key opens WiFi. Today screen wheel nav jumps several items instead of one at a time, but goes one at a time with anything after pressing "Start".:confused:

Have you come across this, or could it just be a problem with my install?

Here's what I can tell you:

I had the HTC site's update to WM 6.1 and I could not install with their included SPL bootloader. A fellow Tilt user at work had same issue, but he never flashed his device ever, and got it to work on both our Tilts using the SPL 1.0 OliPof.

Settings: About screen shows the following...

CE OS 5.2.21819 (Build 21820.5.0.0 ByJosh)

Settings: Device Information shows the following...

ROM Version: 65Series WWE

ROM date: 04/30/09

Radio Version: 1.65.21.18

Protocol Version: 25.88.40.0SH

Thank you again for your hard work. I have already appreciated the benefits you paid out. With my issues, I hope I'm the exception and I just came up with something wacky that affects one in eleventy billion people and there is an obvious cure.

My PDA has saved my marriage, and I no longer have to lug bags of medical books and novels and a laptop everywhere I go, plus, it's geek enough to be cool when I can show my friends that it does more than text messaging and take pictures with a bigger screen. I guess that's why my battery is dead at the end of every day - LOL!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
First of all, if u have still spl 1.0 u need to change that to some newer ones(3.29,3.56,3.34) thaty is the culprit of the screen freezes.

When u close settings or other programs it will always take u to today screen. That is new "feature" in wm6.5. There are a lot of people that hate that.

For the bad key mapping u nees to install tilt keyboard fix(there are houndreds of posts about that here on xda, so use the search button and u will find it).

For the lock u can install some 3rd party app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] medic8r:
Thanks for the tips. I'll do that. I was really hoping MS would remember the majority of the devices are still touch-screen enabled phones and not just PDA's and that I just wasn't looking in the right place. Appreciate the quick-help.

6.5

Forgive me. I am a newbie. I have flashed some 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser with success. I have Tom Tom, Microsoft Voice Command and other 6.1 programs.

My fear is that these programs won't work. Additionally, I have been using "touch flo" which does not do a bad job in deluding me into thinking I have an I Phone:)

My understanding is that 6.5 was not meant for a Kaiser and won't work well...that I will still need my stylus.

Is this true? What are the "gestures" spoken of. Is this just the same kind of tweaking that "touch flo" does.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
6.5 is more finger friendly then 6.1. Never was able to get M$ voice command to work but then I really stopped using it. If you want an IPhone then check out DEV and hacking they have a look a like for our phones. Here is the best advice I can offer. Try 6.5 and if you dont like it then go back to a stock rom. Josh, Shane, ABZ,(PDA Ultimate) Ai6908, Phoenix, are all great chefs. Not to mention all the 6.1 chefs Shifu, Shane AGAIN, ABZ again, B16B. Look around worst case is you learn something new. I can tell you that you will be amazed how fast your device is with any of those.

Hi!

Thank you for your work Josh, it's the first time I flash my kaiser (with 21820 full), and the difference with the original WM is just astonishing. Great job !

I am quite a noob here, and so noob that I have a small problem with this ROM :) I flashed it two days ago, and yesterday, I had two soft reset followed by "first-time customization" screen (screen calibration, then a screen telling me that some customization procedure is going on, then reboot again). The two times, I lost many settings related to the setup of the phone (ring tone, network type), the timezone (reset to +7, don't know why). Also, I know have a strange icon for MSN money and MSN weather (grey box with a yellow gear in front of it. Of course, there might be other side effects I did not noticed yet.

The two problematic soft resets were done by Spritebackup 5.1 (it does the soft reset itself just before doing the backup), and by AdvancedConfigurationTool (website)to change the SMS display from threaded to unthreaded (it suggest that a soft reset might be required to apply settings).

Any idea ?

Config details:

Model	: KAIS130

ROM version	: 65Series WWWE

ROM Date	: 04/30/09

Radio	: 1.70.19.09

Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H

HardSPL	: v1, installed from here

Cheers,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
Not sure what would have caused this. Sounds like the rom didnt take at first. My suggestion would be to flash a stock rom and reflash this one. Follow the FAQ. ( Doing a hard reset after each flash and see what happens) Advanced config is already in the rom, under settings...system...advanced

Hi, have no fear, almost every application or program is working fine on 6.5 roms. These roms are faster and better then any 6.1 roms I have tried.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
There are couple of posts that are describing the same problem (hardreset instead of softreset). I read that some guy solved it by flashing stock rom, som that is the best point where to start.

Also, it seems u have an old spl, try to update it to the newest ones(3.29,3.34,3.56).

Just wanted to report back that I'm having the best luck with radio 1.65.24.36 with this rom. Phone has been off the charger for well over 12 hrs and I'm at 88% with some light internet/gps/text usage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aurelieng:
Well, for me it's not a hard reset, since the programs and data I installed are still here. Just a "reconfiguration" similar to what you have after a hard reset (I've done a hard reset right after the flash, of course).

OK, i'm checking that: updated to 3.29, restored my PIM settings and reinstalled all my CABS. I did a backup with sprite backup 6.2, it works. I'll see in the coming days.

Incorrect Shortcut Link for internet sharing on 21820 full

Hey, Josh,

With the automatic USB usage prompt, I'm getting an error when clicking the "Internet Sharing" which states:

"IntShr.exe", "The file 'IntShr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."

I think the link should be to 'IntShrUI.exe'

Do you see the same issue? I'm using 21820 full.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ameiurus:
It takes several minutes for Google Maps to lock on to the GPS. I think I may have had to uncheck and recheck the "Use GPS" option a couple of times before it got a lock. But it does work eventually.

21820 Full

I just had a situation with this ROM where my phone sat until the screen went to sleep on its own (normal after 5 minutes for me), and it wouldn't return from sleep mode by depressing the power button even though the green light was still flashing indicating it was not fully powered down.

I soft reset it and it seemed to get stuck on the restarting windows screen for several minutes so i tried several soft resets with the same result rendering my phone useless. I tried pulling the battery and restarting with the same problem. But I never hard reset for sure.

So, finally, I walked away with it stuck on the restart screen and when I came back it pretty much appeared like it hard reset and was waiting for me to start like from a hard reset.

I'm new to 6.5 so if this is a well known issue I have not seen it on this forum.

Also, since I've had this ROM, the issue with it not returning from sleep mode reliably has been there since day 1. I have had to hit the power button once (normal), or maybe a second or third time to get it to finally return from sleep mode. But this time the apparent bugginess resulted in an unwanted hard reset. Other than this issue, it has been a very reliable ROM for a few weeks up until todays problem. Not cool. Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
powergator,

Try flash OEM first. Josh provides a clean ATT w/o SPL & Radio. That usually fix the issue. BTW which version you're running?

Please always include the info w/ SPL & Radio. I had same issue earlier with some of the build, but up to 21725 Lite, no more.

21820 and palringo notifications

Hey, Josh,

Love this ROM. looking forward to the next one! It's crazy fast and I show the speed off to everyone. So amazing...

Do you want any testing notes like this? Is this forum the best place to send these, or should I PM you or just go away? :-)

It looks like notifications from palringo lock up the ROM if the notifications come in after the screen goes black.

So:

1. Palringo on (with MSN)

2. screen goes to sleep

3. notification comes in

4. turn on screen

5. acknowledge the notification from 'Notifications' link at bottom left or from top 'task bar'.

6. lockup
