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.

Here is the official Rogers link:
http://www.america.htc.com/download/RUU_Excalibur_ROGERS_WWE_1.30.631.2_4.1.13.47_02.98.90_Ship.exe
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?

Hey Guys,
Bell has released a new ROM 1.17.666.1, Radio 1.59.10
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301200
I will be trying it this week and report any changes.
Kewl. But I heard nothing has changed on this one except the ROM and Radio numbers...
Anyone tried it and seen anything different?
So far users have reported that it runs smoother and faster than the previous ROM.
No other changes have been noted yet.
I wish there was an official changelog!

That can't be accurately verified because users were comparing the fresh, clean new ROM to their old ROMs with all their extra apps loaded in.
We will have to wait and see if there's a continued consensus of this once more people install it. I never install Firmware/ROM updates right away, I always wait to see if there are any unforeseen problems or incompatibilities.
im the op of that post
Nothing to report on in terms of the rom. I guess battery life with the battery life tweaks is good as long as I don't stay on messenger
Freezes improovement
I just read that we should not experient voice call freezing with this rom... So far, it works !!
There have been many reports of in-call freezing with the new ROM on HoFo.
I have personally experienced freezing with the new ROM as well.
Seems like the issue happens when the phone tries to establish a data connection while in-call.
well, i had in call freezing with the old rom. i have in call freezing with this rom, however not hear as often as the original shipped rom. this rom does seem to be better at memory managment though.
I checked my phone and it already has the same ROM and Radio as the new update. I bough my phone around Dec 29, 07. So I guess I don't need to update it yet.
I used it..
I just updated to the most recent bell winmo 6.1 rom last night, and after hassling with Verizon for 45 min to get my phone re-authenticated, I discovered the picture messaging feature is gone. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I do really like the i-phone style txt conversations.
Any news on a custom upgrade to WM 6.1, for HTC Touch for Bell?
Also, any idea if GPS can be available with this unit/network?
Thanks!
It works amazingly!! I am on the BEll network and have the Touch. WM 6.1, GPS, all working fine!!
The place where I downloaded the ROM is

However, I was not yet able to get gps signal but I guess it's just a matter of having the right conditions!
Only thing I have strange is that every time I exit a setting, I always go back to the phone (instead of the today screen). Any idea?

No .. you need to lose the bell rom in order to have gps .. no biggie really, nothing in bell rom that can't be replaced.. Bell will never give this to us.. they want us to buy navigation by the month.. Laugh when you pay your $7 data bill and enjoy using roms from other carriers with the gps...

No I don't think its possible especially after you upgrade the radio to the 3.XX. But just upgrading to WM 6.1 should be fine as I was able to go back to the stock ROM from Bell.

GOld_sprinter: Are you able to use the GPS ? were do you use it? In Montreal it does not find any GPSm should I change anything in my setting?
One more thing, do you have problems with your incoming calls? I am not able to take some calls with this ROM, even if I press on anser, it does not answer...
mletourneau, I live in Calgary and it works beautifully. I don't see why it would not work in Montreal it is based on Satellites, so you should get the same ones that I do. As for the phone call problems I have not experienced anything like that, the only issue I have is that sometimes I have to press the 'send' button twice when dialing out. I wish I could help you fix you problem but I don't have any clue where to start.
Maybe someone here can be of some assistance
Good luck buddy.

Hi, Any clue on how to go back to official Bell ROM?
GPS works FIne but since I am not with Sprint, I do not have access to Sprint TV or other software from Sprint Anyways...
Thanks in advance

go to www.ppcgeeks.com
download omj's custom bell rom
and that should solve your sprint tv etc. issue
Official bell update was released today. I'm a telus user so I have no input to give you on it but the telus update for some reason directs the telus users to the bell update WHICH doesnt work on our phone (duh)
Anyone who wants to try this and let us know if it has GPS that would be great.
download link here: http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=70&act=sd
Does the Bell update noted above enable reva or gps?? I saw that update awhile ago and never bothered because I figured it had neither.
Just to note, the rom is dated 03.19.08 in the link image.
Think I have to unlock and flash mighty soon
Carrier is Bell by the way.........
Yeah, I don't see anything about WM6.1 or anything else for this update for Bell. Looks like an old download and update to me personally.
The telus update page (when it did show the update rom information, its empty now) said it was Rev A, WM 6.1 and can only assume GPS since it included Telus navigator but that could be AGPS. That said.. because the link on the telus page downloaded the bell rom I sort of assumed that the bell one was the same. In fact I cant believe that Bell would be far behind with an update that would be the same as the telus one. I hope they release this soon. I dont want to put some cooked rom on my phone and void any warranty or anything
Warranty? lol. I never buy a phone on contract... I buy it right out. Do I get warranty..nope. And I have never needed it for anything electronic I own. And ya know what it has never done me wrong. All that money wasted if I did. If you do't know something is wrong with it in the first 30 days. something is wrong with you or how you treat your electronics. If my phone craps out I get a new one. Heck every year I buy a new one. Right now I have the HTC touch. It rocks. It runs smooth and I am using omj's custom bell rom. It runs faster smoother and generates less heat. Love it. Only flaw I don't have Musicstore on it... Bell offers it for the touch. And I loved it.
Your Phone is only as good as it's operator. My phone is my everything and I can do whatever I want on it. Just like a computer.
anyone tried to install the bell update on a telus touch?!?
I did the update ... everything seems to be working, phone, software, but I can't seem to connect to internet ?

It's almost perfect. Radio is working correctly and functionality has been tried in deep. I've just found that orientation sensor is not precise as in 2.1. And I'm using: DJ Droid, A2SD+, Odexed. No problem with nandroid backups, nor with pc connection, nor with radio.

Well I've no idea whats going on , I went back to last nights back up reflashed the radio and its been fine. However I am not convinced.
My phone was locked to tmobile I got an unlock code of ebay for £8 killer , cant be locked now so I am happy with that.
I am going to try the other froyo release's I think it maybe something to do with Orange - the coverage is poor at work and maybe froyo isnt reattaching to the network once it loses coverage (i worked in the industry)
One thing baffles me , where and why do my widegts detach and disappear when I mount the phone as an memory stick for videos?

guys with the Locking issue >> Its not a UK network standard radio so you will always get sim locked, you need an unlock code to change your radio..

Hi Guys,
not sure what do do, ive tried updating Rom (currently running latest Energy Rom) although had this problem before updating to the latest, previous was a few months old.
Also updated/changed the Radio version - still nothing.
basicaly - whenever i enable 3G - my phone drops the network connection, whereas for the last 18months not had a single problem - nothing has changed as far as im aware..
Anyone had this or got any suggestions on what to do ?
VODAFONE.
my problem happens all the timel; ie i cant get a 3G connection, when i select to enabke 3G it just drops network totaly, cant make calls, text etc etc.
I actually just starting to have the same problem... Are you on Vodafone in the UK? My problems started yesterday evening...
I've been hearing a lot about this lately. I think it has something to do with Vodafone and Orange combining network coverage. Try the following to see if it works. Make sure to back up your stuff first.
task29
Flash Stock ROM/Radio (they should come bundled together)
task29
flash custom ROM
boot and then hard reset.
See if this fixes the problem.

Vodafone and Orange? I through it was Orange and T-mobile that were merging? Every time I turn my phone back on or come out of flight mode my clock move forward 1 or 2 hours...

I haven't heard anything about T-Mobile. Vodafone and Orange aren't merging. They're sharing use of their cell network. Meaning customers of both companies are going to get increased coverage throughout the country. I've been seeing lots of posts about how this is affecting users negatively on the networks, though.

You are correct. I had it backward. It was T-Mobile that teamed up. I didn't check the link I gave as it normally has each ROM for each carrier, so I generally just link it by default. The 1.8.6.161.1 is the latest ROM from Vodafone. You don't need to keep it on the device, you just need to have it return everything to stock conditions and move on from there. It's like working on a fresh, clean slate.
Man, I'm off my game today...
So, I've had my Touch with Bell for almost 2 years now.... I've been running NFSFAN's 6.1 ROM for as long and I've never really had any problems until about a month ago. I haven't posted it until now, but I thought I'd share.
My internet just suddenly stopped working....it would make the connection just fine, but no data would ever go through....not on Opera, not on email, nothing....
I flashed back to the Official Bell ROM and all was well......flashed back to NFSFAN, no internet.
I then tried NFSFAN's WM6.5 ROM, no internet.....back to Bell, internet.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS, yet.
Now, here's the kicker....a friend of mine who lives quite far away now (So I haven't had a chance to look at his phone, and he knows not how to flash it) was using the same phone with the same NFSFAN ROM (that I flashed on for him) and 2 days before mine quit, his internet stopped working as well.... Seems rather coincidental...
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it possible Bell found some way of determining that a custom ROM was being used and wanted to stop it? The only rationale for such an action that I can think of is to stop people from using the phone as a modem for free.....(which my friend was doing, and I was not).
So, since then, I've just been using the Bell ROM.....sucks, but I've learned to live with it...
any suggestions?
(and yes, I did call Bell tech support....all he would suggest was to flash it back to the official Bell ROM....which ended up being the correct fix....but seems fishy)
Take a look here, this issue was solved a while ago..............

Thanks for the link.
I actually didn't have to do that fix.....I reflashed to 6.1 and......voila internet works....what a mystery.
I had a similar problem with Xv6900 on verizon I had to change my EPST settings. For future reference if you have verizon they use m.ip default of NAI your phone#@vzw3g.com. That fixed my data.
