O Jez, I've just HR and just finished to install everything with v.12
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
I will keep the v12 - I've finished it yesterday and it has an incredible battery life (I'm on the 23686 build). The v11.1 was nice but had a huge battery drain (from 85% to 34% during the night) but v12 is working perfect in this area.

Yesterday I really worked hard to kill the phone - accessing wifi networks while walking around and listening to music etc. The battery - totally uncalibrated - lasted for many hours despite me usage. Very impressive.

Besides that everything works perfect so I have decided to keep the Omega v12 a period of time. I have the impression that is has the best battery life of all Omegas I have used (began with 3.0).

I must say that I think the update rate of the Omega has been increased. And I have a hard time to understand the difference between 23xxx and 24xxx builds of the WM 6.5.x. That information is hard to obtain.

I think it can be a good idea to introduce a special "Omega XT Experimental" series with a different numbering system - for example Experimental EX 1.0 XT etc and let the usual numbering system only be used for the traditional XT ROMs with 23xxx builds.

One idea can be to let the usual Omega XT be updated when there's new things to add (especially new Sense builds) and have the Experimental series for those who prefer to try every new OS build.

I think it would present a clearer picture of the different ROMs.

Say this:

Omega XT - updates when there's new functions to add - especially new Manila builds.

Omega EX (version number) XT - the latest builds and when functionality is established as good and new functions has been added - the Omega XT gets an update.

That makes a slower update rate for the Omega XT but I think it would be easier - in that case you know that it's updated when there's really new things (such as a new Manila).

The Omega EX has a fast update rate in comparison. And the user input from the EX series is of great value when the classic Omega XT is being updated.

That's only my thoughts on the matter. My idea is based on the fact that the Omega XT is working really good which means I think a special experimental branch is better because experimental builds etc can cause some problems - not ROM related at all but build related. For example shorter battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] FordPrefect:
Sorry for asking, but does that mean you have installed v11.2? I can't find any v12 with the 23686 build!? I am also a big fan of long battery life, so I wonder if I should give this a try!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] E90 Commie:
I was wrong - it's the 23135 build I am using (v12). It seems like the 231xx series are the most polished builds in the 6.5.x area. Something like the 219xx are for the 6.5.

But the battery life is really good on the v12/23135. I'm now running it down again and after constant WiFi searching and music playing for about 6 hours the battery is down to 39%. I think it's very good because I'm trying to push it down faster with the constant WiFi search.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ::indie:::
Great,

v12 is a great rom.

You dont have to flash v13.

Do it only if you want to test the new build 24634.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ::indie:::
Thank you for the report for the battery in v12 - 23135

Also thank you for your suggestions.

It is true that we have a lot of versions.

Microsoft is making new builds and as a developer I want to bring this builds to your devices.

A lot of the latest builds are very good.

I want you to have the the best roms with all the latest Builds and updates and to have them first.

There are users that want a good rom to their devices and dont like to flash all the time and there are other users who like to try all new builds.

I will provide you the roms and its up to you if you flash or stay with a previous version :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yova809:
Hey Indie i appreciate all ur hard work..all of ur roms that u have build they keep getting better and better...THNX........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
hi indie!

i have a small suggestion if i may - please change the silder in xt release, or, at least, make it uninstalable

thank you and sorry if i am over the line

Some comments

Installed V13 right now..

First issue is, if your SD card is inserted, and contains a '2577' folder, it overrides the installation session and get Ark switch fail. I had to finish Co-pilot installation, then reset and only then it completed correctly the installation. I have cleared my XDA-UC to test V13 as it suppose to look first, and only then will add my tweaks.. at the moment- impressive performance (speed). I will comment about battery life later (obviously), and other quirks i may find.

Love your work. The more chefs around, the merrier it is.. :)

Edit:

As expected, Battery drain was fast at the beginning, but now slowed down, and is reasonable. ROM is fast. Can't tell if The fastest I had, but certainly in the 'burn rubber' ROM group. No known bugs so far with business use (Emails, messages,calls). FB works as expected as well. Like the eye candy. Used to be on NRGZ ROMs but was looking for something refreshing. A very small cosmetic bug - on locked screen the number of events reported is too close to the lock sign. Really not an important thing, just cosmetics..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] olegausa:
HiI installed version 13 with maxsense yesterday as soon as it became available to download and it runs fine on my phone but i just have two questions is it possible to have back battery low custom sound and tweak u had in version 12 plus when i touch yellow star on home screen then touch shutdow and shutdown again (i'm sure i'm touching shutdown not any other two buttons) the screen goes blank but phone doesn't shuts off but if i use touch off application or the usual way it turns off successfuly. I diddn't try this way on any previous versions i had so can't say if it's just this version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ::indie:::
You are welcome,

I am glad you like my work :)

Hi noris08,

This is not from the slider - its from the icons,

I will try to fix it in the next version.

If you want you can install another slider, there is many in xda :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
yes i know i can install another, that is why i said to make it uninstalable

however, i have a slider, more or less the same as the one you use, but with no problem in the upper right corner. it is made lonf time ago by another chef ans i can share it with to make your work easier. just let me know

regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ::indie:::
This will help a lot!

can you upload it,please??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:

hi indie! nice ROM, very quick.

i would just like to report a bug. when viewing HTML email in outlook, the "Download Internet Pictures" option does not show. this occurs for the vast majority of emails that would otherwise show this option. would you please look into it? i suspect that it may be a quirk of these new WinMo builds... cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yova809:
I have one major problem with this ROM im not able to receive full size pictures (MMS) they are either really small or medium size, have anyone figured out the settings to make the pictures full size when receiving MMS.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hidden_dragon:
Here's the fix.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hidden_dragon:
That is an Outlook Sync setting. BTW, this does not happen when you create an email account using POP or IMAP (that option appears automatically).

Under Sync Options - Download size limit, choose Entire message. Thereafter, you will be given the option to download internet pictures at the bottom of the message.

Question

I know this may not be the right place for this, but if someone can point me to the right place that would be great. I updated from 11.1 to v13. I have some apps installed on the sd card and would like to get the icons back on the start page. Can someone help.....please. thanks

Sorry if this is in the wrong place for this.....I did search and read and cant find exactly what i need. thanks again....from a nooob!

***GOT THE ANSWER*** Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jlccarv:
cheers for the fix, works well! this is new behaviour, ive always chosen a download size limit of 20K and the "Download Internet Pictures" option always showed.. strange

V12 bug

Hi,

after a few days of using XT V12, lots of programs refuse to start with the following message:

"Unable to start this program because there is not enough free memory. Please close some other programs and try again."

The only solution to this is a soft reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 200mpx:
Think that this is the same problem that mine - I also found it after few day of rom usage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richteralan:
I said this to Dutty and I'll say this here ,too:

Omega and Dutty's are my favorite ROMs. I tried most ROMs here. ;)

Keep up the good work!

Installed the Touch of Glass theme and everything silky smooth.

why add extra apps in your next release? from this point of view, your roms are fine with the apps already inside. for instance i am not interested in GPSTOOL, i know my gps is working when the coordinates are locked;)

people can add what applications they want afterwards

please don't make the rom heavier with unnecessary things

thank you!

I been testing V12, its great !, this is 1st rom to last me 3 days and still have more than 50% battery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] randalltroy:
I have been thinking exactly the same thing.

theres really no need to cook in these 2 apps, when both are easily added in as .cabs.I have no need for gpstool or another file explorer, Total commander is awesome, and i have no issues with gps.

Omega roms are already fairly loaded, no need for the extra apps.

231XX by far has best battery life
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hidden_dragon:
231xx builds use the latest shipped build by MSFT. The Oboe comes to mind as it was just released with 231xx. Both the 236xx and 246xx builds are BETA builds. I really like the battery life on the 236xx builds which is why I tend to use them almost exclusively.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richteralan:
agreed.

231xx for best battery life

246xx for better performance

OMEGA is good for your phone! Well done!

Has any body every found a way to update ROMs, but keep all the settings and installed apps from previous versions from the same chef?

I am very pleased that the chefs here are cooking new ROMs almost everyweek, but it gives me grey hair to install new versions due to the number of settings and apps I additionally install.

Don't tell me off if this has already been discussed number of times, I could not find anything in this thread.

But .. I must say .. for several years I was with another - well known ROM series in this forum. Not sure why, I tried OMEGA .. and it was much better :) Thanks for the great work.
