I think Alec.Baldwin is a douchebag because of all of his 15 year old trash talking and bull****. So you know that I'm being straight and unbiased when I say the following...

That aside, I haven't used any of Cyanogen's builds in the past 3-4 months. I went from Cyanogen, to xROM, to JACxHEROski, to Dwang, to SenseHero, then back to Dwang's because I needed speed and reliability back. I'm currently running his latest v1.15, to which I've done my own custom theme and LOVE IT. His ROM is fast, stable, and I haven't had a single issue with it. I've been running it since v1.11 or v1.12.

(1). A forum was created to help new users here to get a positive experience.

Your suggesting has been put to action.

To aid you and new users, a 'Search' function was built into the forum :)

If you want a simple thread, there is a simple thread, they are Stickied at the tops of every forum and sub-forum here at XDA DEVELOPERS.

(2). What good are 'good experiences'?

If I have a problem, I don't want to come to this forum and find that NO ONE has posted about their bad experience. I want to read that I'm not alone when I brick my phone, and that a few hundred others have bricked their phones as well. I want to know that someone else dropped their phone and has a few spare parts I can buy cheaply. I want to know about others bad experiences so that I know what NOT TO DO.

You can quickly weed through the 'good' vs 'bad' experiences through the Search feature of the forum.

(3). People who are using their devices in the real world, with abuse and use, large calendars and small calendars, contacts (just REAL LIFE) and then puts out some recommendations/awards whatever you wanna call it???

WTF Alec Baldwin?!

WE DO THIS, and user numbers have grown.

I am neither a developer, nor an admin/mod here at these forums. But I have owned over 7 HTC phone in the past few years. With the support, experiences and opinions of others on these forums, I have modded, hacked, and enjoyed every single phone I have owned. I replaced the screen on my old SMT-5600 with directions shared here. I have flashed TouchFLO on my brothers Tilt with the support of users here. I have saved countless phones with the 'dried white rice method' that I read about on here.

You clearly don't appreciate the effort the Moderators and Administrators, and the Devs and test users go through to share their experiences here. Might I suggest WordPress.com? There you can create something that gives positive experiences by those using their devices in the real world.

:)

blah blah blah.

Can we stop the BS and just get on with the real life reviews?

What is the new 4.2.9.1 CM like after a week or so? Is it stable? Fast? Slow? I would try them (WG and CM), but I am still giving Dwang 1.15 a good thorough test.

So far the Dwang rom is solid, 0 spontaneous reboots, only one or two force closes, and it seems just as fast as the day I installed it. Because it is so stable, I am slowly adding more apps on top of my standard set to see if I can get it to break.

One thing I do with every rom is play music and use the WorkItOut app at the same time. (For recording stats near the end of my workout.) CM 4.2.7.1 failed the responsiveness test (WIO took forever to come up) Dwang 1.15 passes with flying colors.

Can we get more reviews other than just CM, Dwang, and WG?
[G1 General] ilostchild:
Super D-Dwang Rom with Cy kernal

This seems to work Great! and nicely fast got 20+Apps

And stable

I got one force close(due to flashing Dialer/contacts mod flash)rom itself works great and steady!
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
How long have you been testing this ROM out?
[G1 General] :
Dwang still.

yep Dwang 1.15 perfect so far... Cyan.. still unstable for me.. I mean it's better then in the past.. but still slows down...

It is genius for a developer to resist the bling and new features... and focus on stability and speed. Chasing after the bling is easy, creating a product that work, that is solid and that 99% of people can use, that is the real progress I find.

I don't have time to test every rom on the planet.. but we certainly can try other ones...
[G1 General] uansari1:
Obviously you never used xROM before we had full donut builds. That ROM was bulletproof, fast, reliable, AND had the bling. It's too bad that JAC had to take time off from dev'ing, or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
xRom, got it, I will definitely have to check this out if JAC ever releases a new one.
[G1 General] jubeh:
wow, this s**t is still not closed?
[G1 General] :
nope.. because it's relevant... 17.1 is stable and awesome.. love it. Dwang still the most stable and fastest rom out there (if you don't do 3d games). So love it.

Cyan still not stable after a few weeks of use...
[G1 General] cyanogen:
I don't have any bug reports from you for any of these issues you describe, much less patches.
[G1 General] uansari1:
I admit that I've tried out both and have my own personal favorite (Dwang's), but that doesn't diminish from your work Cy. This tool is a blatant teenage fanboy posting on these forums out of his mom's basement. Nothing to see here...move along. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prozzeh:
Hey everyone.

Earlier today I switched to T-mobiles windows mobile 6.5 rom.

And since then I noticed my used memory slowly went up as I used programs and closed then.

On 6.1 (t-mobile rom) after start up I was at 56% which after a few days of use maybe went up to 60-65% tops.

On 6.5 I start with the same number, however as I use programs and close them, only a part of the used memory seems to clear up.

Right now after using 7 different programs, which I used to use on 6.1 I'm at 74% memory in use.

I've tried the memory cleaner from the rhodium software thread, which does free up some memory, 74% to 71%. However this just seems wrong in my eyes.

So does anyone have a explanation?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Where did you get a T-Mobile version of WM6.5? Is that the generic HTC-released WM6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prozzeh:
The one released by T-mobile, found here.

http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/page/service-contact/software-updates/mda.aspx

It's their official 6.5 release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
so its for T-Mobile Neatherlands & not T-Mobile US. I'm thinking that's what MCbrian thought you had
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
The explanation is pretty simple

6.5 eats a lot more memory than 6.1

If you are not satisfied with the RAM eating 6.5 go back to 6.1

Or try disable manila or titanium and you´ll get more free RAM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Yes, that's what I thought...though I know that TmoUSA is just the poor cousin of Euro-Tmo :p

It is helpful when posters list their location and carrier in their profile/ID...but that's a personal choice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
You mean Microsoft have released software that hogs as much resource as possible ?

That's got to be a first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prozzeh:
So judging from what Orb3000 and dik23 said, It's perfectly normal for WM6.5 to display more memory used as more programs are used and shut down, while in the same situation 6.1 clears out the memory just fine.

Yeah, sorry, I just don't buy that at all.

Does anyone else have similar issues regarding this?

I mean this looks like some sort of memory leak to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Surely a memory leak would result in more and more RAM being used without opening any new application. I think you could mean bad memory management ie the OS not removing closed processes from the RAM when they're finished with. And this would only become a problem if new applications failed to start because of that.

What I was saying it's well known Microsoft like to program operating systems that like to hog as much processor time / RAM / storage space / whatever they can get. Stupid way of doing things me thinks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Seems like general Microsoft-bashing is more appropriate on an iPhone or BB board.

This wasn't helpful information at all because it doesn't explain why the OP is having more memory issues than others using same/similar OS, e.g., me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
from what i've gathered from other threads & whatnot, 6.5 has the Push Internet feature on, & it takes up 10MB+ of memory, while TmoUS has it disabled. With the Push Internet enabled, it also has Opera Mobile running in the background at all times eating up more memory.

Right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Sorry mate but it happens to be the truth. And you've not heard my iPhone bashing !

Does the lack of RAM cause any real problems apart from confusion ? I mean are you actually running out of RAM when trying to do anything ? I had a Hermes that ran out all the time and it's very annoying when the phone rings and the SatNav app dies.

If it's not actually causing any issue then ignore it. Otherwise you could get an app to clean the RAM out (like should be done by the OS). I think SKTools is a good example but it means that you have a process running and apparently some clever man decided 32 was the maximum number of processes you're allowed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prozzeh:
Yes, I haven't gotten any real issues so far, but for instance, the youtube player refused to play movies because of the lack of memory

(It's hovering between 82-84% memory used right now, after running basically every application, which as I'll repeat once again, did not happen in 6.1)

As stated in the opening post, I already did that.

Seeing as no one here has any concrete answers or solutions, I'll contact T-mobile and HTC tomorrow and report back here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Good luck !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nileshvedi:
Hello MCbrian

I read your reply on WM6.5 using up more memory than WM6.1

Wanted to know how I can switch back to WM6.1 or is there a way to control memory usage in 6.5

Nilesh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nileshvedi:
Hey Prozzeh, I am facing the same problem. Did you manage to find out the solution. What you done after that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Hey, just out of interest can anyone here give an indication of 6.5.1 RAM usage ?

I saw an advert for Windows7 whilst in town the other day. It said "Windows7 - Time to get a new PC". Yeah, because my old one won't be able to run it ! Says it all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] grant9908:
sometimes my keyboard activated as this tiny-er touch keyboard instead of the full nice touch keyboard ad don;t know why. In all honesty it started happened after a started installing software on it (G-sens, flashlight, better power bar reader, etc). so I was thinking maybe it was just in some screens but it just randomly does it in screens like sms. Anyway, if anyone can think of a fix that would be awesome and I'm even willing to go into editor and deleting that keyboard from the system so it's never an option (if someone can walk me through how to do that) lol, I'll never use it.
[Imagio General] kaseapfe:
I have an HTC Imagio, and when I first got it, the contact pictures imported from FaceBook looked great. I have since wiped the phone a few times and reinstalled everything and now the photos look blurry and lame. I cant find any setting anywhere that seems to impact this. Any ideas?
[Imagio General] kaseapfe:
Never mind I think I figured it out. I sync my contacts with Gmail, it looks like when the phone gets the piic from facebook its fine, but then active sync kicks in and sync's the contact then the pic resolution changes somehow
[Imagio General] kaseapfe:
I've done more testing and its pretty obvious its a gmail thing. When I sync contacts with hotmail it works fine. As soon as I sync with gmail all the pics go to crap.
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
Just to confirm your theory Exchange activesync doesn't distort them. So must be gmail.
[Imagio General] coolpoete:
FYI I had this same problem when I synced with Outlook. I had contact pictures saved in Outlook and when I synced over to my phone they were all blurry. I had to replace them all and now I use MS Myphone to sync contacts.
[Imagio General] CDODGE:
i sort of have a simailiar issue.

When scrolling through contacnts they start out blurry but then when the icon changes to facebook they become clear. I am synced to Exchange with Activesync

I have a tilt2 and I want to play some .wav files that I have on my storage card. I have over 500 short wav files that I would rather not convert into some other format to hear. It there a win mo 6.5 program that will help me?

Thank you for any assistance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quentin Gran Torino:
I think I have a slow solution for your problem, when you try to upload the.wav's with activesync, activesync will convert them so that they are playable. But as I said its a slow solution.... You can also use activesync together with mediaplayer and upload playlist this way..... Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] barbo:
Thanks for trying to help, QGT. I had put all the wavs onto my storage card directly form my computer. I thought maybe you had a good solution and I tried taking one wav from my desktop to my phone (not the storage card) via activesync but it still won't play. Darn

Anyone have any other ideas?

hi guys...i'm a newbie at flashing rom and I was wondering if someone can give me somehelp with these questions:

1. what's the best rom...i refer to speed, signal strainght and a bit of futures..

2. I've seen this rom "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400452" that sais "45mb total storage memory/ 25mb free program memory"...what does that mean, wich memory it refers to??I ask this because when I look into my Artemis under settings\device info\hardware it sais flash size: 128mb, but storage size:37.63mb..

3. what's the difference between flash mem and storage mem??

thank you in advance to everyone who answers :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] d3nika:
a lot of answers

yep a lot of answers....but please stop with the answers...thank you for the help..
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] a_lai82:
Right ...

As I have said on other threads this is down to personal preference. If you are looking for a fast wm6.5 you probably want to look at Shadys Rom. Not sure about 6.1 but there are plenty of lite roms out there to try. Signal strength is determined by the Radio Rom this is separate to the Phone Rom. There is a thread floating about already but in short it varies from person to person.

If you go to start -> settings -> system -> memory (under the main tab) you will see some numbers. Essentially most people are bothered about the program free memory as it allows you to run more/more demanding apps.

I think (I am sure someone will correct me) the flash size of your memory card and the storage is how much is free?

Hope that helps
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] d3nika:
hi a_lai82..thank you for the answers, really thank you...

the thing about those memory questions is that I didn't have any memory card in the phone at that time, so all that it showed me is what's in the phone, that's why I wanted a clarification...

I have just purchased off ebay this extreemly good phone, I was sick of my nokia e71 and fancied a change, I missed the touch screen of phones ive had in the past.

Question for everyone the firmware seems a little buggy and ive checked on htc;s website but any upgrades wont work with my serial number (the phone is original htc but with 3 software on it)

Does anyone else have this problem with their 3 mobile and has anyone on 3 upgraded the firmware to one of the 6.5 versions available and if so does all the settings still work after the upgrade.

Ive upgraded my last wm phone so im ok at doing it but what I dont want is to lose all settings and not be able to access the internet etc ..

which rom would you suggest ? do they have the connections setup on it so that I can set up sm/mms/internet access im not that bothered about planet 3 but need internet ...

Kaiser / Tytn II on Three

Hi

I picked up an Orange TytnII off ebay and after putting hard SPL on I have been using many roms fine on three UK :-)

My favourite is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519715

although be sure to check out many of the other excellent roms on here, there is some real talented chef's, I also like the PDA corner roms

Regarding stock I used an orange UK stock rom that also changed the radio, read the instructions well on here as you'll want to make sure you hard reset, stock rom, stock radio, hard reset then 6.5 then radio then another hard reset just to make sure you clear everything.

Regarding radio you can try many different ones, again read the posts you'll find some just don't allow you to make / receive calls if they're not in line with the rom.

I think I have my current setup in my signature.

Also be sure to check out the posts with the iskoot client configured for three's free skype access, getting free MSN is a bit trickier and to be honest the java client is a bit flaky for my liking so I just use it out of my allowance !

pm me if you get stuck

so the radio doesnt matter to the mobile phone supplier ..... as long as the radio and new firmware works together it will work on 3 .... ?

ive found a possible firmware but the radio has to be different so its gonna be both upgraded ... im just concerned as 3 software is so tied down that i dont wanna have a non working phone

ive upgraded before on a previous htc phone but didnt have to do radio upgrades .....

I too have an unlocked Orange Tytn II I got on orange contract and unlocked on day 1. Gave Orange sim to the missus and jumped over to three.

I have used a numbe of roms and radios, but currently use Shifu 19 WWE with radio 1.70.19.09. Works perfectly.

I reckon 3 is the perfect network in the UK for Tytn II as PAYG internet allowances are very good.

Its not as tied down as you think. I have the ISkoot WM client running using 3 connections for free calls etc and also SkypeManager running on home PC to get 100% free calls to all uk landlines too. Google SkypeManager.

Have fun!
