It can be different to give a quantitative comparison, as I didn't keep much data on available memory, etc. In theory, it is a more mature build, because the build number of Windows Mobile has rev'd a few points. This should help to keep memory leakage down ... should. The new ROM seems more responsive. If you are happy with the Rogers ROM, there probably isn't much, if any reason to move to the HTC ROM. I decided to experiment and try the new HTC ROM, because I wanted to see if Voice Control 1.6 worked any differently on this latest ROM, not because I was dissatisfied with the Rogers ROM.
i flashed from the rogers to the new htc rom and i have used this rom for about a week and with the htc rom my fone has frozen up 4 times, where i have to remove the battery to restart my fone. i have never had the rogers rom freeze up on me b4 and i used it for about a month. also to me it seems like the htc rom leaks out memory. with the rogers rom i would restart my fone every other day and the memory would not go lower than 19,000kb but with the htc rom if i dont restart it two days it would be at about 17,000 kb. am i the only one experiencing this? + im thinking twice about flashing back to the rogers rom, wat do u guys suggest?
I'm using the latest HTC build. I've used the Rogers rom, and it's loads better than the t-mobile one, but the branding just pissed me off. The htc is much better in that area, and it's definately quick and responsive.
I have two phones, one i use for work and one for testing.
I have tested all the rom but i'm usung now for about 1/2 year the Russian rom, custumized and flashed with the latest radio version.
I'm usung my phone a lot with all the possibilities you have and no problem at all.
Believe me, it is even so fast as the new rom.
But, so has everybody his own feeling..
The Superior ROM
I have two devices also, I use one for testing. The thing that stands out with me is the radio on the Rogers ROM. In the area where I live, I find the Rogers radio, by far superior and the strongest. I'm now back to testing the T-Mobile ROM, with the Rogers radio installed in the T-Mobile ROM. Thanks to jhow99 Fash Tool.zip, since I installed the Rogers radio in the T-Mobile ROM, I notice for some reason it speeds the T-Mobile ROM up and the reboot loop the loop reboot problem has vanish. I now also have a fix to stop the T-Moble default blue screen from coming back every time after you soft reset your device. I will continue to test the T-mobile ROM in this current state and if the T-Mobile Rom continue to run at the speeds it doing now, I might have to say that the T-Mobile ROM is by far superior to all the ROM's. I will remind you, my testing is not yet completed, I'm really shocked about my findings thus far with the T-Mobile ROM........!

RAM - LEAKS
I didn't do any testing along these lines with the Rogers ROM. I do have the latest HTC ROM installed and last night, before I went to bed, I soft-reset my phone. Available memory after the soft-reset is around 18,100. I have less available memory than most, because I use Voice Command. When I checked it this AM, available RAM had dropped to 16,300 - presumably while doing nothing as I slept, 1,800 of ram had leaked.
STABILITY - FREEZE
I thought that it might have been me doing different things. For example, using the Rogers ROM, I rarely enabled Bluetooth Activesync or WiFi, but things have changed and I find myself using WiFi much more and Activesync with my home PC exclusively with Bluetooth. Where I am going with this is that I thought, because of the change in usage patters, I was experiencing some instability ... but this new HTC ROM does seem to freeze up much more often than the Rogers ROM. In fact, I don't recall that the Rogers ROM had ever frozen up on me. It has been right around one full week with the new HTC ROM and I know that I have frozen ... probably five times.

absolutely the ROGERS, first of all, cuz u cannot use 'z' when u find contacts if u choose the latest HTC ROM, Really inconvenient, hm?
additionally, Under HTC ROM, when I press start and scroll down to find the shortcut I want, it breezed for about 1~3s frequently.I'v no idea why this happened. But it seldom occurs when I use the ROGERS ROM.
So I prefer the ROGERS ROM!
With the Rogers Rom I was having to reboot sometimes twice daily. I'm having to reboot much less with the HTC rom. I'd go with the HTC rom.

Would you mind elaborating on the circumstances that required the reboot? I don't intend to sound as if I am denying your experience, I just haven't experienced the same, so I am trying to figure out why that might be the case.
This newest HTC ROM showed lots of promise, but as a few others have experienced, unexpected freezes has me heading back to the Rogers ROM.
Of course, some have experienced unexpected freezes with the Rogers ROM and moving to the latest HTC ROM helped to eliminate the problems the experienced.

I like HTC better but cant put a finger on why
I used Rogers for a week then switched to HTC. seems more stable (rogers was more erratic (Im in Brazil) Rogers seemed faster in some things but in general Ill stick with HTC. QUOTE THE TMO NEVERMORE
PS if you try one then the other you might have an instalation issue (I did) second installation wouldnt work till I reinstalled TMO rom then did new installation. The HTC is much prettier than rogers
Does the Rogers rom support micro SDHC cards?
Hi all,
This was posted over at PPCGEEKS so I decided to bring it over here. This looks to be a leaked VZW ROM for the Vogue. Use at your own risk. If you have GPS running, and dont want to lose that functionality, do not let customizations to run.
ROM seems fast and stable. I am still working through all the pieces of it.

Doesn't look good at all. I advise not flashing to this ROM, it's not even complete!

I have had no issues with it. I did let customizations run the first time and that screwed my GPS use, but was able to recover from it. Now I am running it with my own nav software(iGo8), and all is seemingly well. I have even decompiled the ROM so I can add my own OEMs into the mix.
Steve
PS - big kudos to RSTOGUY for the decompiling tips!

What do you mean it isn't complete? Last time I checked the ROM has to be complete to be able to flash it. Mind explaining your comment?
great
I have been using OMJ for awhile and love it. Until i came across this. I have been using this rom since it came out and first it runs fast and is very stable. The battery life lets just say i have been running it for 45 hours so far and am at 30 percent. Don't know about you but i can go another day on this. I am a moderate usage kinda of person and also notice that in fringe areas it seems to not drain the battery as much because of the better reception. Also it is ok to let the customization to run but make sure to do the *228 dial option 1 reset and then option 2 reset. The best thing about it is i think most will agree is if customization runs don't worry even the most noob will not mess up there phone. So YIPPEEEE and you can do it.

It's like a car, as in it's "complete", so you can drive it, but it's missing the seats. Which is why I say that, so I suggest not flashing the official leaked ROM, but a modified version.

If you let customizations run then the GPS functionality is lost. It seems to be locked down, unless you have figured something else out?
Steve
Sorry for the delay
Yes there is a workaround with something called vahalla gps or something. Very easy to install turn location on then use google maps and bam bam thank you mam. Ok weird but hey it works and update for yall 50 hours into the rom and running at 40 percent battery . I love it like cheeseburger.

Yes I know Skywing and his fix for the Titan, which should work here, but I need COM port functionality and his fix does not address that. I am working with someone on PPCGEEKS to detail how to get the 1.37 PRI back on Vogue. Its a little bit different than Titan.
I am with you. The battery life seems to be amazingly better and the ROM seems to be operating a bit faster than the custom ROMs. Too early for me to put the check mark for it but so far so good.
Steve
I tryed it but couldn't get the GPS to work after letting customizations run. Even with the GPS Hack it wouldn't lock on with my Tom Tom 7. So I went back to my oiginal rom and now am back with OMJ's rom and happy to have my GPS back.
Great ROM
I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps and Live Search. Tested both on the road
yesterday and they both provide exact locations.
The rom is really stable & the data speed is a lot faster.
The radio is a great help with battery life & I get a better
signal in the fringe areas.
Love it , like having a new phone.
I’m happy for you guys who ever have good chance to run the Verizon ROM, but as you can see this is not from HTC site or even from Verizon (yet) its from Lab. Not mean that its fully function in some way if the GPS enabled right now that good, but I personal can’t believe Verizon will let it out for free because they have there own Navigation software. Anyway, I did run this ROM the first hour when it went out, and personal I did not like it! I had issue with freezing every time I boot my phone. And the GPS not even close to Bell Radio, with Bell I will be locked under 15 sic with at less 8 to 9 Satellites. Plus it’s not any faster than what ever out right now. Sorry to popup your bobble. But in the end its personal choice..
Sorry to hear that
I have had no problems with this rom whatsoever and i am still running this bad boy since i last replied. it has not died on me but now i see the red light of charge me please. But this is well over 70 hours now. Did you install the leak rom with the radio or with bell's radio. I guess some people will have problems and some won't Sad to say that is life and is expected . But like Steve i won't check mark it yet, but so far no freezes and basically everything is working the way it is suppose to. Maybe when they build a custom rom out of this which i believe they did over at ppcgeeks, then everything will work better for you as far as freezing.

Ditto with me. All of the above. However, the link to the valhalla cab file no longer works. I wonder if skywing was forced to take it off or something. Luckily for me I got it before it disappeared...........
I figured that might happen so after I ran the cab I sent the file
to my storage card in case I needed it again.
Good to see you over here at xda Dr. Rodger !
I ran the leaked rom & the Vahalla GPS .cab and have GPS locks
with Google maps. So far everything else seems to be working well. With enough searching I was able to find the Vahalla GPS and download it so if you need it keep searching.
I verified this through an inside person at Verizon and they said that this is their file so it's just a matter of time before this comes out on probably the HTC site. I installed it on mine, I have no customized ROMS or anything else, just as-is XV6900 and it works just fine. I did not let the customizations run however.
Where can I find the Vahalla GPS .cab? And is it really necessary to get the GPS to work with this ROM?
As far as I can tell you need it because within this ROM gps is deactivated. Do a search over at ppcgeek.com and you should find it. Some reported that the link was taken down but as of last night I was able to search and find a cab for it. I am sure there is some other work around but I don't know it and this cab did the trick for me.
ok....i had the 6.5 update that was accidently leaked out on my phone. things i experienced with it.
battery life was short
keyboard pops up when new txt is rcvd - very annoying
constant erros about data connection
backlight stays on for a long time when phone is not used
very bad lag
so...tmobile finally put the actual release out on their site about the update. i installed that yesterday. phone seems fine and not doing any of the above.
but i noticed that i am unable to get certain apps that i use to have on there to work. it would look like it is starting up but then it doesn't.
i really want to use these apps on my phone. does anyone know why i am unable to?
xda wifi connection app
wm longlife app
thanks in advance!

Last I saw the T-Mobile update was exactly the same as the leaked one... So the problems you are experiencing are odd???? I still have the leaked Rom and it works fine without the issues you describe. The Only time my battery life is shortened is when using the internet features and/or leave the screen on... for example I left wifi sharing on the other day... I was at 50% 2 hours later... so I turned it off, 10 hours later I was at 30% not too bad!

Yes I believe it's been confirmed that the "leaked" T-mo upgrade ROM was bit-for-bit identical to the final (official) release, verified by matching checksums.
However, when the upgrade was first making the rounds here, there were numerous reports of odd issues that would pop up for people after the initial flashing of the ROM...and the solution was just to re-flash it again. Amazingly, doing a 2nd flash of the same ROM seemed to clear up quite a few of the oddball problems that people were seeing.
I'm afraid though I don't have any idea why those last 2 apps aren't working for you following the upgrade...?
Woah, warning about WMLongLife...
It F*CKED up my 3G connection bad. It wouldn't automatically switch to 3G when I was coming into a 3G area from a GPRS/EDGE area and it was almost impossible to get the original setting back. I'd stay far away from that app if I was you.
The other app, I'm not familiar with. Where is the original post of that?
I posted this in NilsP's Business GingerSense thread, but don't think it's a ROM issue, more of a Google Talk issue. Running the 2.0 version of that ROM.
The issue is where Google Talk shows all your contacts as Offline after a period of say five to ten minutes, maybe shorter than that. I'll be messaging someone, and after a few minutes when they haven't responded, I'll wake my phone and open GT. All the contacts are Offline. A simple sign out/sign in fixes that, and the usual contacts show Online or Away.I've noticed this all week, so I'm thinking it's a GT issue, but I've never had it happen before.
Don't want to have to sign out/in every time I want to use it. Cleared GT cache, fix permissions, multiple wipes of data/system/cache/boot/dalvik/user data before each ROM install, and haven't had this before now.
Thoughts?
EDIT: After playing, it happens when switching from 3G to WiFi and vice versa, so maybe it is a ROM thing...?
i'm having the same issue. noticed after my gingerbread OTA update from verizon.
Droid 2.
It seems to happen a few minutes after logging on.
I also have that issue with Gtalk. After some time all contacts appear to be offline, but only when I'm on data connection and not on wifi.
There is still no solution for this?
Cheers!

Me too. Anyone was able to do something?
Well I've since moved on, and haven't noticed it on other ROMs. Right now I just tested toggling Wifi on and off, and the contacts would appear offline, then come online once 3g or wifi connected.
I'm thinking in my case, it was that version of the ROM I was running at the time.

Just a thought, check any task killers / managers and make sure talk is unchecked. I had the same problem a long time ago and ATK was the culprit. Haven't had the issue since and I have used almost every Rom possible at one point or another

True. Right after I rooted over a year ago, I had an issue with the alarm clock not going off intermittantly, and coincidentally I was using ATK at the time. After reading that ATK could be the issue, uninstalling it fixed the issue. Since then, I don't actively kill tasks, but I do have System Panel installed just in case.
I'm running Stock+ v2.6, and since moving on from v2.0 of NilsP's ROM where I had the initial issue, I haven't noticed/had the problem.

Hi,
Me and the other user are I9000 users. No task killers. We're trying to figure out if its a stock / custom ROM issue (since we're both using the same ROM), or some app forcing GTalk to sign out, or even a network problem (we both use the same mobile operator).
Thank you both for your input.
If you're on a stock ROM (you're both rooted right?), back up your ROM and flash another just to see if it happens in something different.

Yes, we are.
The thing is that it seems to me that it happened only after XXVJR (meaning it happened to me in XXJVS and XXJVT, and now we're already at XWJVU, all these being Samsungs "leaks"), and I have a friend with XXJVS that works just fine.
I even tried flashing a stock ROM, to see if it happens again. Testing that one now.
Thanks for your advice.
Same problem here.
Although I have not tried it with stock non rooted phone...
I'm having the same problem on a stock rooted Motorola Photon. Very annoying to have to sign out and back in to see who's online. Hopefully someone comes to the rescue with a solution.
Hi,
The only thing I could find is that the problem is, indeed, NOT in the custom ROM's. It's google's problem.
The only way I could get by was with an alternative IM. And, for me, the better is Trillian (taking battery, performance, etc. in consideration.)
I updated my software which included an updated gtalk with video..so far so good.

I am having this issue too. I have had it since the beginning, when I had the preinstalled stock rom, I had it with all the other stock roms I flashed, I had it with all the versions of Talk I tried (those which supported video calls), I had it with all the other customs roms I tried (Simplicity, CyanogenMod, MIUI). I never used any task killer. For these reasons I am strongly convinced this is a Google Talk related bug.
Some more details about the problem:
after a few minutes after having logged in, contacts are shown offline on Android while they appear online on the desktop client;
despite their offline status I still receive messages from them and as soon as I answer only that contact appears online while the others keep being shown offline;
signing out and back in fixes the problem temporarily, but it happens again after a few minutes.
What surprises me is how come very few people seem noticing it or being annoyed by it? How come a huge bug like this has been out for so long and Google hasn't fixed it yet? All the posts I have seen reporting this problem on Google Talk Help Forum have been ignored.
Exact same problem with my I9100, Gtalk with video. Very annoying.
I have the SGS i777 (Samsung Galaxy S2 on AT&T), and just recently (since late February) started experiencing the same issue. When on WiFi, it doesn't appear to be an issue, only when not on WiFi, particularly if I have just recently turned off WiFi.
Other "friends" show me as "Away", so I am connected.
This is bone stock 2.3.6 Samsung official ROM (never rooted UCKK6).
I tried crawling a bit through the logs (aLogCat output), filtering for "[Tt]alk", but I can't make enough heads or tails about where the failure might be (not being an actual developer), other than lots of messages get created. I'll see if I can't figure something more useful out about it.
A hard reset with no apps installed has the same problem. Though I've noticed that the problem appears to get "worse" as the phone "ages" - namely, hard reset fixes the problem, but it slowly (over days) gets worse and worse.
Update: I have not noticed this issue at all since getting the official Samsung/AT&T ICS build (IML74K.CLE5).
Google Talk failing for toooo loooong
Hi there,
I'm a cyanogen 7.1 (stable) android user, and I just want to join myself to every other person who's affected by this issue.
I'll leave here some links to other places discussion exactly the same issue:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=gtalk%20offline&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24242
You may check this thread: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/chat/6m0YqHoiIDg
Until now, I wasn't also able to find any clue to what the cause may be.
Starting to suspect that's something on Google's side, not android/rom itself.
Maybe something to do with our google accounts' settings?
Are there any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem.
Intro:
I have the Samsung Epic 4G. Great phone, running into problems. I originally started out rooted and modded with the CyanogenMOD 10 Nightly. Everything was going great and I love the mod but I started getting MMS problems where I couldn't see the pictures being sent or the ones I was sending. There was an easily located temporary fix found online to delete the telephony file and restart the phone. No biggie I can deal. Then bigger problems started arising as I was no longer getting all of my text messages. Sometimes none. I contacted Sprint and they ran through the whole ordeal of giving me some codes to input which of corse wouldn't work on the MOD and I couldn't update the profile so they said they'd check the tower where I was located and turned out nothing was wrong with it.... My wife and I are having a baby so being unable to contact her without calling constantly is a no go.
Main:
I flashed the stock for the SPH-D700 and all of my problems were fixed. This is a no bueno for me because it's full of bloatware and the phone without modification dies before my workday is out practically, even without heavy usage (and forget heavy usage because that was like shooting the battery into the sun and who the hell wants a smart phone that works for only like an hour?). After looking around I located the stock FC09 Deodexed MTD which comes with ShadowKernel (aweeeesome!) and flashed that. Didn't have any issues and all my texts were coming and going through. This was tested at work using a series of seperate sequential alphanumeric texts and all was good. I installed the usual suspects, Voltage Control, Juice Defender, SD Maid, ES Explorer, the WiFi hack, etc... Not being a fan of the stock messaging app I also downloaded the standard Chomp SMS app (which is def a step up and ad free) as well. I knocked the voltages down reasonably and tested them using Voltage control to do that and control the CPU (no overclocking). I got rid of all of the apps that the XDA Wiki said I could and backed everything up. All was well until yesterday. I charged the phone the previous night and went to work doing the normal kinda day act. I sent my wife some messages but figured she was busy when she didn't respond. Hours later I realized that she probably had responded because she never goes that long without doing so. I asked a few friends to text me and I texted myself as well and now I wasn't getting ANY texts. I did the phone dance with Sprint to no avail and they told me to take the phone to my local store. This would be the second Epic 4G that they would be replacing. The first one had this problem too but fixed itself when I flashed the stock rom. Then there was some water damage which thankfully insurance covered and I got my replacement earlier this week when I worked on modifying my phone to something I found acceptable. I think this rules out a hardware issue. On a whim I restored to a backup that I had made after getting my phone neat and tidy and some odd things happened. I started getting texts, but not the ones that I had already missed, and I was getting some later ones first before getting the first ones sent, I.E. i'd send 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and get back 5, 2, 3, 4, 1 but they would arrange themselves in the correct order onces they came. It was also taking them forever to come in as I would send them and have to wait five to ten minutes for them to come.
Conclusion:
Tired, frustrated, and somewhat perturbed I reflashed the stock rom and the problem again has fixed itself. My question is has anyone else run into this? I've looked everywhere and can't find a similar case. Am I just not seeing something that's directly in front of me? Ideally i'd really like to put Cyanogen back on but I can't afford not to be in contact with my pregnant wife. I'd also reaaaally like the WiFi cabailities that were advertised with the phone but then neglected to mention that I would have to pay 30$ extra a month for. Is this a similar issue to the MMS telephony file issue that can be resolved with perhaps a nightly deletion of a file? Is there anything I can do NOT to be on the stock rom with the worthless battery life and bloatware that chokes?????
Sincerely,

Intro:
I have the Samsung Epic 4G. Great phone, running into problems. I originally started out rooted and modded with the CyanogenMOD 10 Nightly. Everything was going great and I love the mod but I started getting MMS problems where I couldn't see the pictures being sent or the ones I was sending. There was an easily located temporary fix found online to delete the telephony file and restart the phone. No biggie I can deal. Then bigger problems started arising as I was no longer getting all of my text messages. Sometimes none. I contacted Sprint and they ran through the whole ordeal of giving me some codes to input which of corse wouldn't work on the MOD and I couldn't update the profile so they said they'd check the tower where I was located and turned out nothing was wrong with it.... My wife and I are having a baby so being unable to contact her without calling constantly is a no go.

So that's a big wall-o-text. I didn't read it, and just skipped down to your conclusion. You can flash another CM based 4.2.2 rom to test SMS/MMS. It all works fine for me on Slim. If you want TouchWiz, then flash The People's ROM. This rom has no bloat and better battery life than stock. All of these roms have the Wifi access point built in.

I'm dloading the latest CM 10.1 RC4 to give it another shot. I'm not confident that this won't happen again either immediately or within a few days. Thank you for your input.

I guess my concern is that this happened across both roms, FC09Deodexed and CM10.
Ok so no luck. Flashed CM10 and no bueno. Not getting all of the messages I send to myself. Massive delay between send and receive.
Then you're left to using Odin to get back on stock. Check auto-reboot, repartition, and f. reset time. After you are back on stock FC09, you may as well update PRL, but be sure to update profile. Test on 100% stock again.
If things work like they should on stock, then Odin in CWM without auto-reboot checked. Battery pull, then reinsert. From there boot into recovery and flash a rom of choice. Test again on newly flashed rom.
If things are not working properly on stock rom, then bring it into a Sprint store for service.
Sorry to say but all of that's been done and put in the original post (which you only speed read through the last part). I appreciate your help though. This is the second Epic 4G to do this to me on everything but the stock rom which makes me think it's not hardware but if it's not happened to anyone else then not much else I can do.

Haha, yea well it was a big wall of text.
I've burned through my ideas, lol. Good luck to ya.
Np, I really appreciate the advice. So far i've rerooted, reflashed the FC09DeodexedMTD and did a straight sprint (no lollygagging with install and uninstall of apps) to a barebones what I want system, apps include then backed up via CWM. So far it's still working great though i'll keep my fingers crossed. Should anything happen I have a backup from the getgo that should put things back to the way they were, ie. working. Stupid problem, of corse it has to only be me with it.
Ciao
