[Desire HD Android Development] torsrex:
Slower than stock and huge battery drain!

Hi!

So, I just got my phone back from warranty 4 days ago due to one broken led flash and bad gps reception. The got it fixed by changing the motherboard and the gps antenna, which meant that my phone was locked again and running stock desire HD rom.

The bootloader told me this:

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.85.0024

RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2

The base were 2.50.405.2 and the kernel were the stock HTC one.

My phone had never been as fast as it was then. Games like asphalt 6, roboto, angry birds, plants vs zombies, pocket legends and megajump had never run smoother! Before I used Leedroid, and had to use performance @ 1,5gHz to get the same smoothness, now... I was just awesome! Scrolling in lists and browsing the web were also extremely fast!

But, as I thought, maybe the slowness had just been a fault with my device, and it would run much faster one I got to install a custom rom again! Since leedroid hadn't updated his rom since 11 august, I decided to use Android Revolutions.

I used fre3vo from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152233 to gain temp root and used the "RUN THIS FOR DOWNGRADE.bat" to downgrade, but instead of using the PD98IMG.zip from that thread, I extracted the rom.zip from this ruu: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe (downloaded from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace), put it on my sdcard and flashed in bootloader.

When it was done, I used visionary to gain temp root and then temp root. Afterwards I used jkoljo's tools to radio s-off and eng s-off.

After I had s-offed I rebooted to fastboot and flashed 4ext recovery.

Then I downloaded the radio from the first post of this thread and flashed it.

Then I rebooted back into recovery and flashed the superwipe script and then the Android Revolutions room, let it boot, and rebooted another time. After I had restored all my settings (manually, not titanium backup) and installed my applications I noticed something was wrong. The rom was quite laggy and games like those mentioned above were

laggin unexpectedly, I also had lag on the home screen and when scrolling in lists. The wifi-signalmeter was also quite buggy and sometimes it jumped from 5 bars to one bar as if the 2,3,4th bar were not existing. I thought it must have been a bad flash, but as I tried to wipe another time, I noticed it was still laggy. I even tried to run "fastboot erase system -w" and "fastboot erase boot -w" before I used the superwipe script in 4ext recovery. I also tried to flash the rom, reboot, just skipping all the settings and install one game to test, but it was still lagging like h*ll!

So, I just assumed that this was the way it was supposed to be and installed my applications again and set up my settings (still no titanium backup or htc sense account). As this day went by, I opened my favorite app to System Tuner Pro and noticed an app called "bruker ordbok" (/system/app/UserDicionaryProvider.apk) using 40% of the cpu. So I opened titanium backup and froze it and it helped a bit on the lagging, but it still lagged Occasionally.

My bootloader informations is now saying:

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD9810000)

Radio-26.09.04.11_M2.

I hope you can get it fixed, because shouldn't a custom rom be faster than the stock HTC rom? I'm tempted to unroot, but once rooted always rooted...

Thanks!
