Um, to be honest, not greatly. You will get some bug fixes (or new bugs maybe!) and maybe new features, but most appear to be around the same speed.

The only way I have managed to do this is by tweaking graphics and file caching settings. This reduces RAM slighly but you WILL notice the difference. TD Tools 3 can increase this (as can registry edits) Also, the stock ROM has the HTC messaging app which is well known to cause the device to run extremely slow, getting worse as you receive more messages! Thats why my ROM had 2 goals, Fix the messaging lag (remove HTC messaging), and saving words. I'm very happy with my R4 Beta 2 release and have used it since release! I also tweak the my settings after the release (file / GFX cache) they're not cooked into the ROM.

A bit of history: Sense 2.5 was designed and written around the HD2. This device has the 1Ghz Snapdragon vs our MSM72xx 528Mhz processor and more RAM I believe. In the early days, people cooked TD2 ROM's with Sense 2.5 from the HD2 which was awfully slow in most cases. Some cooks tweaked it to be acceptable but was still far from smooth.

(This is now what I think happened!! Correct me if i'm wrong) Before the HD Mini was announced, leaked development builds of Sense 2.5 were appearing apparently designed for the TP2 and TD2 which improved performance greatly. As new builds became close to final release, the 2.53 ROM was rumoured and the HD Mini announced (600Mhz, Win 6.5.1) It seems HTC released the 2.53 ROM (with Sense 2.5) as a bonus to the development of the HD Mini. Cookers quickly took up this ROM and tweaked it to perfection (in my eyes)

In summary, Sense 2.5 will be slightly slower than Sense 2.1, but I find it much more pretty and usuable! I do think the HTC messaging app is the cause of your problems. It has a lot of previous!

Have a go at cooking! Its quite encouraging when you have created your perfect ROM. You can find lots of resources on XDA-devs to help you, or PM and i'll see what I can help with :) I used OSKitchen which is an all in one cooking app and is highly recommended.

I had an O2 XDA Orbit II (HTC Polaris in the Iolite shell) and yes, it was just that little too slow. I've had the TD2 since release date and have been very happy with it.

extra language...

can u pls add chinese language to the rom cz some of us need to text in chinese word. thx.:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Popenda:
history and cooking

well i think you are right about that from the very beginning about the hd 2

i just succeded with creating my own danish rom and it seems to work well. I use Oskitchen now and i think its good but not great.

i tried using Ervius visual kitchen and i find it difficult to use.

I would like to know where you find your wm 6.5 builds. I had only a little luck about finding some builds at htcpedia.com

So if you have any clue about where i can find manila 2.5 builds (the latest one) and wm 6.5 builds it would be great! :D

Im thinking about releasing my own rom, but its not perfect yet and i could use som advice about tweaking it so manila 2.5 can run as smooth as your roms.

BeeGee_Tokyo:

yes i know these topics but when im trying to import the build into my oskitchen it dosnt work.

maybe im doing it wrong? the ones i have found that is working with my oskitchen is 21901, 21887, 21896, 23549.

there are 3 import build options in oskitchen. I have been trying to download these builds from the topics you gave me. I just can get them to work with my oskitchen.

Craiglay:

what options/tweaks do you set your roms to pp size, file cache size and manila build which one do you think is the fastest one for our topaz.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I get all my builds from there and I am using OSKitchen as well. Currently on 21905, made working ROMs with 23568 as well, but the COM5 is still too buggy.

Maybe I can help you, PM me if you like.

okay thanks then i will pm you ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] craiglay:
Hi

@BBoyGabe - I'm not too confident cooking in anything other than WWE, there maybe a cab you can install to give you Chinese input though.

@Popenda

With the SYS / XIP import of COM5 builds (23563 for example) the SYS is the nice and easy one that goes automatically, I think you may have to do the XIP manually (MSXIPKernel) I think you have to copy the contents of XIP into a folder into MSXIPKernel / (Build, eg 23563) and make sure you delete nk.exe. That took me a while to get right!

What I'd do is cook the stock ROM and only change the SYS ver. Test this for a bit to ensure you are happy with the build then you can think about changing the EXT.

My pagepool is 20MB, I don't change file and graphics caching in the ROM but change them after with TD2 Tools (I think its changed name now) Manila build is unchanged from default TD2 Manila. 2011.3030 i believe with a different Manila Messaging package.

Hope this helps

Craig
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Popenda:
about my work

Craiglay

okay thanks.

i have been playing with the several wm 6.5 builds and the manila 2.5 builds.

I just can't decide which build version of manila 2.5 is the fastest one. So i'm gonna cook a new dan rom with the stock manila 2.5 version.

I dont have any more questions for now. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] craiglay:
Had another play and found that if you disable the weather animations on the homescreen, Manila 2.5 becomes much more responsive!

Choose a wallpaper if you want and regedit:

HKCU / software /HTC / Manila

Home.wallpapermode to "2"

Enjoy

XT9 fix?

Hello Craig!

Nice ROM (R4), it works fine for me, but I am interested in cooking an own ROM in Swedish. I have succeeded already, but I can't figure out what files I should replace to get XT9 to work.

I read that you had extracted some files from Touch Pro 2? Which were they.

Regards

Thomas

------

EDIT: I finally found it myself :)

I chose a newer version of Touch Pro 2 (Orange CH-DE 2.08.72.1) and copied the folders

1. IME Engine Western v2.1.20131424.00

2. IME Ez Input Western v2.1.20112821.00

3. HTC Messaging Client v1.5.20131933.02

Don't know exactly which folder that did the trick, but it now works fine!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] craiglay:
Hi DBwoy

No worries, glad you found the files ok. That was exactly the same source I used. If you haven't already found out how to modify them to work properly, you just drop your country code in and change the app.reg to reflect your language code. If you found the same thread I did, i think it explains it already.

Ps, you shouldn't need the HTC messaging client if you're cooking from an official source as it should already be there. It has been proven many times to contain bugs though so you may want to look into v1.8 which is around and supposed to be better. I prefer using Windows messaging! Simple and ugly but works very well.

Regards

Craig
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] DBwoy:
Hi Craig,

Do you mean this is to be done during cooking a rom, or afterwards in the phone with regedit or in some file? When I cooked my own rom, I used parts from a Swedish Rhodium stock rom, so it worked directly for me.

I agree. I although use SPB Mobile Shell and like it more than both Windows and HTC UI's. There is a 3D messaging view in SPB MobShell, but when it comes to writing messages, the windows messaging is used.

/Thomas
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] craiglay:
Hi Thomas

Glad it worked for you, I changed some things before cooking to make it work properly but these were probably just setting English T9 from the start. I was a while ago and I can't really remember!

The Sense 2.1 style version of messaging I use also uses the windows messaging compose screen but if you select the person then messaging, I can use the Sense chat messaging screen.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Diviner:
Hi Craig,

I'm really new in the flashing business, till now I updated my phone using official roms only.

I read the thread, and I know that I need the SD card (in fat32) to flash your rom, but do I have to install the HardSPL first ?

This might seem funny; I read somewhere that I would need to type my pin code after flashing is done, but I don't know what is my pin code, I had never encountered it, could someone help me with that ?

Lastly, people here say that you did a great job with this rom, and I can't wait to see it with my own eyes, the thing is that while most users would flash your rom because the HTC message client in manila 2.5 is slow, I need to do that for one more reason - I'm writing most of my SMS in Hebrew, while I was using the official rom with manila 2.1 I had no problems, but now with manila 2.5 the HTC message client messes every written and received SMS. I wanted to be sure that using your rom I could solve this problem. Are all the original files that come with the messaging program in manila 2.1 there in your rom ?

Thanks in advance,

Guy
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] craiglay:
Hi

Yes, you will have to install HSPL first as this will allow you to install 3rd party roms.

I've never encountered it before, but assuming you haven't set a PIN on your SIM card, I don't have any reason why it would request one. They may be referring to a screen without a SIM card which looks similar. I always flash without my SIM in and when happy, insert the SIM.

My ROM had those 2 goals, and I think I addressed them more than well. Also 6.5.5 is a great OS, I have used it from when I published it up till i got my TP2. I don't know how Manila 2.5 handles this message style internally but by the looks of it, it does it the same as Manila 2.1. The messaging is just a front end to the WM messaging backend. I'm glad the developers chose to keep 2.1 style in 2.5 :)

Have fun.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Diviner:
Hi Craig,

Flashing the Rom was simpler than I expected, and since then it all worked like a charm.

Now thanks to you, I can read messages in Hebrew and enjoy the loveliness of manila 2.5 at the same time.

About WM6.5.5 , since the official Hebrew support is "updated" to WM6.5 and manila 2.1 , it would be safer to wait a little longer till the next flashing.

Thanks again man, you did a great job.

Hi

I have a two questions...

1 In my previous phones I use WM 6.1 and 6.5 with start button and quick program list and ram usage on top, now I have start button on bottom and I don't know how turn on program list and ram usage (normaly was on top in right corner)

2 Sometimes i use MemMaind, and in previous roms i have 2 options on bottom bar "Tools" and "Settings" now I have "Jump To" and "Tools" (show the same options :/), and i can't set that program (registner etc.)

How repair this function, or without reflashing rom back to old Start place and rest places?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:

2. Reg is in Databases, not sure how to change menu back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] alien44:
Thx man, this is what I was looking for.

But I have 2 problems 1st is time on a task manager icon

And second is other program on that icon - when i touch that icon something other is open..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Your version of windows does not play well with the task manager.

You have to hit it in just the right spot or the secondary menu will appear.

I am not able to remove the clock from the taskbar but have managed to make it analog with the enclosed cab. Just install to memory.

I gave up on the task manager and run QuickMenu instead which is a dropdown start menu that has a built in task manager.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmerlin10:
Hello,

N1 camera is cool except one thing - it does not allow adjust shutter speed. So especially now in winter in mountains all my photos are very dark which is a pity as otherwise the quality is fairly good.

I was trying to search for any camera app that would allow shutter speed adjustment but did not find any.

Does anyone know about any good app and / or why this setting is not there by default? It cannot be so difficult to implement - every cheap camera has it...

Thank you very much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
is this even possible? If it is I'm sure your Nexus would need to be rooted
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnner:
I'd take the ability to spot-meter as a substitute. Sometimes I want to expose the foreground and let the sky, or whatever, be overexposed. The camera doesn't seem to do that as it stands.

if my phone supported x86 i would definately not install wp7 in my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK0081:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] landslide:
Unlikely, maybe on a netbook or tablet, but not on a smartphone. ARM cores are leaps and bounds ahead in terms of bang for your watt.

Most likely Microsoft released the WP7 emulator on x86 because it runs faster ;P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheCyberKnight:
Most likely not.

They probably released it this way to limit the possible use of the ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cipher:
Because it's hardware accelerated to give you the speed you would have on a real phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jasonjoo:
Considering that the minimum requirements for a WP7S phone say that a device must have an ARM Cortex A8 processor, a Scorpion CPU, or better (http://www.techautos.com/2010/03/17/windows-phone-7-series-hardware-requirements/), we're pretty sure WP7S isn't for x86.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LOTG:
It's based on CE 6R3 so in theory yes, but you will have to port the drivers and other system files that are cortex specific.

i have my experia x1 for 2 week and i have the wm6.1 now im loking for a simple update to win 6.5 or a simpe fransh 6.5 rom ( no tft3D .... no SOFT ... no tweeks ) e realy win 6.5 basic xperia rom

so please help me !!!!:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Awassenaar:
You should look for a ROM that is called "barebone" or "light" usuallly these roms have the least add-ons! I think gtrab and spikegotti make them

Good luck!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
yes

also killer8nl offers a "Clean" variant

check chefs first posts for the descriptions, aim and some screen shots of the rom and decide for yourself

if there are still unwanted progs cooked in you can always delete them manually after installation

also: to get that kind of info no new (redundant) thread was required, a little reading would have been sufficient

[Touch HD General] gio300zx:
Hallo boys and girls. Thanks to this forum I have learned how to flash my Touch HD ROM and have had fun with several different ones. But I still find a few things I can't find the simple answer to and I promise I have searched a lot before posting.

1) Rotation. Some ROMs seem to auto rotate, some partially autorotate, some need G-Sensor and some use MaxManila. I can't quite work out what is supposed to happen. Is there such a thing as a ROM where every screen rotates without having to do anything. XannyTech with MaxManila seemed to rotate everything but only after rotation is switched on (derr). With G Sensor, you seem to need to access each application, do the stylus thing and reset.

Have I got that right or am I missing something blindingly obvious?

2) Is it a Touch HD or HD2? Sometimes when I am looking for other apps, there are versions for HD and for HD2. After I have installed the new ROM, does my device "think" it is an HD or HD2?

3) From many posts, I gain the opinion that Sense (Manila) 2.1 is not as hard on resources as Sense 2.5. But shortcuts to programs are only available on 2.5 (I found someone working on this for 2.1 but not released yet). I think Agenda view is also only on 2.5.

4) On most of the new ROMs I flashed, the phone can hang quite badly sometimes. It seems to be mostly when accessing contacts. I have gone back to a ROM with Sense 2.1 now to see if it is a 2.1 vs 2.5 thing. Is there something else I should try, is it to do with HTC Messaging or just part of the fun of trying different ROMs?

5) And how should I work out whether to install an app to device or storage card - which is "best" and why?

Trying different ROMS and reading the posts here is good fun (mostly) so thanks to you all for that. But sometimes to flash and re-set up everything up so I am ready for work with everything, satnav, contacts all ready and working for Monday can take quite a long time so your help is always appreciated. Thanks.

[Android Software Development] TomatoWAX:
Hi, I'm TomatoWAX.

Today I'd like to introduce Galatea Engine AD's Sample, Rotating Donut. I runned this sample on my Odroid device and I captured it. The sample simply render a 3D small donut and donut will be rotating. This sample render the donut twice to make it shown like Cartoon Style. Galatea Engine AD use Android NDK/JNI to render 3D polygons. You can use the 3D APIs of OpenGL|ES with Android NDK.

About the Odroid device, this device was made by Korean company, HardKernel. You can just buy it from there website and it is not bad to develop Android applications. BTW this device supports TV-Output function and it's so great to developers. I just did make the sample movie with this function. And I'll upload more movies which are filmed our new game, Run Kattie, with this function, TV-Ouput! Just watch it and see how Odroid shows the applications with TV.
