3rd Dash on the way - HTC Excalibur

Tmobile is sending me my 3rd Dash, I know this one is gonna be the same lagged out pos. They offered a shadow, but that phone is garbage. Should I just keep playing this send back the phone, get a new one and hope they offer me something better, or take this new phone they're sending and flash the rom right away?

If you flash the rom with one from kavana or rickwyatt you always have the option of putting the original rom if you need to send it back again.

word, now the tedious task of finding out the best rom and the instructions for installation, this forum is a mess lol

to tell you the truth is not too bad i upgrated mine in like 15 to 20 minutes last night, im ussing rickwaytt version 23 if u want to downloaded it have the link in my signature just make sure you unlock ur phone. if u got any question just post it here ill try to help but there is plenty of people willing to help around here

Do not get the Shadow, it is garbage... trust me...

Speed sounds more important to you than anything.
1) Use Kavana's ROM, or, even better, Ricky's Vanilla ROM
2) Do not install Voice Command.
3) Do not choose a CHome homescreen with the media goodies.
4) Install your most essential apps to the devince, never to the storage card. Install nothing non-essential.
5) Overclock it to 240. This is solid on any dash.
Do the above and your phone will be as fast as anything on the market, and as funtional, at this point in time. If it still doesn't suit your needs, get a different phone and a dedicated UMPC and 'tooth them.

p.s. I'm also on my 3rd dash,and Tmo has nothing else I would accept. I've checked. and tried a wing and a shadow first hand.

Dash all the way man

so i read that my favs wont be there, does that mean those phone numbers will no longer be free for me? because i live off that

There is a program install that I've read it works like My favs, but i dont use it as much so i cant realy say how well it works.

Don't Worry
It just means that the neat T-Mobile MyFaves interface won't be there. Whenever you call someone on my faves, the charges are still the same; their phone number hasn't changed so why would calling one of them by dialing their phone number change?
You can still add an app that will put a MyFaves like feature on your phone. Plus, there are ROMS with this feature built into it.

so did your other dash's break???
cause i read online, before i got mine, that the screen would break if i dopped it, and i gotta tell ya ive dropped mine a few times and it doesnt even have a scratch on it.

I was wondering myself what the differences are between Rick and Kavana ROM. I have very successfully installed the Kavana 080408 ROM and it is awesome, but I hear a lot of people raving about Rickys ROM.
What version is the best (I dowloaded the v14 version)?
I love the way Kavana runs and looks. Speed is awesome and interface is fast (not overclocked).
What are the differences?
Thanks...

Run the latest Ricky's rom. I have it below. A lot of problems are fixed in this rom and its really nice. Ricky's rom is just an updated version of Kavana with the bugs fixed and all.

are there any images somewhere. I imagine it looks pretty much the same as kavanas. Right?
Thanks again. I'm downloading right now and popping it on in a moment.

Well, it is but there are some new applications and a lot of bugs fixed. Plus it has Chome slim which could be changed from the tools folder and then go to extras. (check it out you can change a lot of stuff from there and you can make it transparent and all). Check it out and mess around with it once you download it.

Yeah, I will. Cool thanks.....

Question about lag

I have installed the RickyWyatt Kavana V20 ROM and I am wonderring if any one if experiencing problems with scrolling through the main screen or selecting thing's because every time I scroll I have to wait a second or two for the phone to scroll.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem because the ROM look's awesome but it is really slow for me.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked the memory? I believe that Ricky referenced this when he put out Rom 20
Thank you in advance.

You will need to ask Ricky but I believe that the answer is you have to many panels and need to disable some of them.
Or... overclock your CPU a little bit. Look in the Tools folder for the OMAP clock program. I'd recommend about 204 for good battery life and a little increase in perfomance. Go 240 if you want more performance but shorter battery life
where about's is the Tool's folder I can't seem to find it on the phone?
On the Start menu ?!?
isnt it "accesories" in the start menu?
Well in my version of Rick's ROM it's in "My Tools".... either way... it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to find an installed application in the start menu.
not tryying to sound like a dumb ass but in Accessorie's it's not there either (I am usseing V20)

Never mind I found it sorry I was blind I guess.
Also I am wondering how to change the menu's around (if possible) it's not that I am to lazy to figure it out myself but I am worried I might mess around with something I shouldn't be messing around with. What I mean about changing the menu's is how to add and delete blade's from the main screen.
Thank you guy's for your time it is very much apprecciatted.
Also can I put a SDHC card in my phone? How about a 4 GB SD card or is 2GB the limit?
sorry I had to repost but I have one more question, is setting the frequency to 288 alright for my phone? Is there any chance it will mess it up?
It will lockup your phone and never recover. Stay below 250...
p.s. Rearanging "blades" and start menu folders may be a little over your head right now. Do a little more reading first....
And yes you can use SDHC cards in your phone...

I wouldnt push the envelope of oveclocking your phone past 240 or 252mhz
some people can get away with higher numbers it seems. others have issues with the phone locking up and then wont boot up...forcing a hard reset. so be cautious if you venture past 252mhz
Isnt that what I said two posts above ?!
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP MAN!!! It is very much appreciatted. Before you gave me your reply I set it to 280 and it messed up but I was able to change it back (LUCKY) with out a hard boot. I am not questioning your answer but are you positive (I don't want to buy it and then realize it doesn't work) that I can use a SDHC card (4GB) because I emailed some one who was selling it on EBay and he said it doesn't work on my phone?
Thank you once again.

The eBay guys phone is most likely NOT running WM6.1. You should have no problems running 4GB in a Dash with WM6.1.

I am not so worried about running a 4GB card but more worried about it not working because it's a SDHC and not just a SD Card?

t-mobile dash i need some help

well im new here i used to hack nextels years ago and i also did nokia 91
i just got a t dash and i hate how slow it is ...even the txting is slow ugh

...i was also looking into the kav6.1 i think it is and there alot of bugs
if not so many i would have just updated to that....any let me know wha i can do
Download Rickys Rom, I think a lot of bugs are eliminated from there. Download Rickys Rom and follow the instructions on here in order to get everything set up correctly. Plus there is a program that lets you clock the speed and make the dash faster in this new ROM.
Go here on a tutorial on how to get 6.1

Do you have a data plan? cause if you do go to accessories and connection setup in order to have your data plan set up on the phone... Also you might want to click below and get the MMS working as well... Follow that link below and lets you know how to set up your MMS because it is not configured at the moment...
And yes it makes it faster but then again it drains your battery a lot quicker so if you do not have an extended battery I would not recommend on overclocking your phone.

I am sick of all these ROMs

I guess what I mean to say I am sick of all these problems, with both stock and cooked roms, I just want a phone that works smoothly.
What I wouldn't give for ANY ROM that is reliable.
I have tried ROM after ROM, and I still have not found even one that is truly reliable. The stock ROMs, or ones close to stock are maybe better but not OK.
I am so sick of the slow HTC messenging client (I have tried the fix to disable it, but that doesn't work)
Even the regular windows messenging freezes.
In fact the phone seems to have a lot of fun freezing up all the time. It usually unfreezes after a while, but why would I want a phone that I have to wait 5 minutes for before I can do anything?
All I want is 1 reliable ROM. It doesn't have to be lightning fast, just something that doesn't waste my time.
It would also be nice to have something with a bit of cool graphics in it too, but that is not important.
I have read online about a lot of people having the same problems. Why can't we seem to fix this? I have a lot of faith in Xda-developers, so I know this can be done.
try cooking your own then maybe you'll see how hard it is to make a reliable rom. :|
Yeah, I don't mean to give any offense to the chefs, as I thank them for their effort, but I think the problem is deeper than that.
I just want to know what I can do? Or maybe how can I help to discover the root cause of these problems?
you know...i dont think its the ROMs...
honestly i think it's because the stuff that's on the phone (whether its a stock ROM or a cooked one)
it NEEDS more memory...
thats what i think at least...
well how can one build a ROM that is snappy and reliable?
Its not the RAM, its the Qualcrap MSM7200 processor. Same processor for 3 generations. Thats why.
Check my signature & words of Gandhi Ji, you will understand why we fail. Our greed always outgrows our technological developments & what we are left with in the end is nothing but frustration.
To be specific have shipped ROM & attain the nirvana.
Kind of same feelings here. I have been using modified ROMS and now I realized that some of my text messages don't go through to people. This is kind of bad because I already fired one person from our company because there was misunderstanding cause she never received the message but I didn't believe her cause I got confirmation from the operator that she got the msg
and JUST now the phone just suddenly went blank and now it says that has to reset the device completely. I didn't even touch the phone I just noticed that it had lost the wallpaper suddenly and then tried to reinstall the wallpaper didn't work. Then reset and the phone didn't get on anymore
Luckily after some waiting the screen came and said I can reset the device. Now has to reinstall everything again. Fuuuuck. Would have other things to do than this..

have u tried my rom. i think i got them all covered
let me know here y it wouldn foot ur bill

Maybe we should start a quest to find that one ultimate ROM that makes this thing into a phone we can rely on.
I bought this phone because I use all of it's features heavily, I text and email and call and view documents, and surf the web and listen to music and watch videos and more constantly on this thing.
For it to be unreliable negates all the good functions it has.
How about we all work on finding/testing one ROM that is priority #1 Reliable?

lol...seems kind of a self defeating goal. Can there be anything such as the one perfect Rom when we each have our individual preferences and priorities? Also, we have to factor in the reality that the networks themselves are not reliable. So, if ATnT or Verizon drops calls and text messages, can we really say it is the Rom that is unreliable?

I was thinking of making one that can be the basis ROM from which all others are birthed. Or at least find what formula or tricks we could apply to make the ROMs better?
lawlz. Good Luck finding the 100% perfect rom.
If you look at each rom's thread, each new rom they release more likely has a new OS build. Then each new build has their own issues, either from previous version or new issue entirely.
IF the rom the chefs release is just plain unusable, they normally release a FIXED rom with the same build.
Known issues are just that, chefs normally don't fix them because they just can't. So hoping for a new build of the software might fix it.
Each of the roms' issues can be fixed with patches, there are general patches that can be found all over or a patch by the chef when they sometimes forget to fix an issue unique to their rom.
From what i've been noticing, no chefs has cooked up the same rom more than 5 times to fix some issues until it is 100% perfect. By the time they do that, there's a new build of the software and they'll be cooking that instead. Not only just the OS build, they'll also add/remove some programs, change programs to newer versions.
All of these combined will introduce new issues.
Then the cycle continues...
There's about 20 or more Rom selection out there that you can choose from. There's gotta be one that is close to your preferences.
A rom that is deemed 100% reliable to others may not be the same to you.

Perhaps then we should deem what is reliable. Firstly, 100%, I know, is too much to ask for, but I want as close as I can get.
So reliability to me means: I can use the phone as it was meant to be used.
This means: no freezing, no need to reset constantly, when someone calls me I can see the caller ID, etc
Simple and easy.
Now is that too much to ask for?

thnx for ur input though
Well there are Roms that are really reliable and very fast. I'm using the same custom ROM for a long time now... I never had to reset, no freezing. It just works.
It's more stable then stock even. Just search in the first 3 pages of the rom thread for the touch x roms.
So no it's not to much to ask. I think this thread should be closed because it's only about whining. Nothing constructive.
EDIT: and that's not the only ROM that is stable. And let me remind you that al cooks are doing it for fun and free willing. As end user you can't complain. You have no right. Asking and making requests is fine, but I'm getting sick of people saying nobody is listening or will respond on questions asked multiple times and awnsered multiple times. The same is for people screaming other people don't make them what they want while they have to knowledge about the subject at all.
This is not ment offensive in any way to anyone.

Well, as I said in the first few post, it is not the fault of the chefs, and I appreciate greatly all their efforts. I never complained about the chefs and their ROMS, it is the system itself. Perhaps I am asking Windows Mobile to be better.
It think it boils down to Microsoft building a system that is not up to par, then HTC trying to hack on their software which creates a system that is is inherently flawed.
I fully support and am grateful for all the custom ROMs out there. At least it gives us more interesting choices.

Wow dude you honestly owe her an apology. You sound like a total douche for ****ing up your phone and firing someone for it.

Why is my phone so slow!!!

is it too much to ask for my phone to load something up in no more than 2 seconds??
im running on the wm 6.5, im using the "windows default" ROM (if thats even the right word for going into settings>today>items and unchecking HTC sense) its just that it really pisses me off when im bout to text someone and i hit the compose button and it takes up to 5 mins to load up the screen. or when im getting a new friend or clients number and i have to tell them to wait for my address book to show up on the screen
any help would be greatly appreciated
Build your own ROM. I'm currently using WM 6.1 and everything loads extremely quick. PIE is up instantly and new contacts or txt messages take less than 2 seconds to load.
Your phone is slow because of the underpowered, obsolete Qualcomm MSM7xxx processor powering your WVGA device, coupled with bloated software. Custom ROMs are an easy improvement, as they often have many integrated tweaks for speed. There are some other easy tweaks found around the forum which will help speed up the device, but don't expect it to ever run like an HD2.
yeah, i'm using the "Energy" rom. pretty fast, and it's even more stable.
However; it's not fast enough.. Is there a programm (name??) to tune my Processor?
im on stock rom and my phone is very fast n slick, of course with some help from xda..lmao if u want to speed up stock rom, get and install these cabs: Tilt 2 data fix, SD tune up, no push internet, dynamic resource proxy, and the memory leak mod. all of these i found thru this forum. its night and day difference in how fast everything is. easy installs. i also have the atm dng 3d driver installed..that really helped the UI to make it slick. also get crud scraper, which i have. it deletes any and all traces of at&t bloatware or any carrier bloatware. actually, u need to do that first..delete all bloatware, u dont need a custom rom to eliminate bloatware. if all else fails, then flash a new rom cuz that requires the most for u to do. n remember, all of these things can be found right here on xda, no matter which route u tke. these stock roms arent as bad as people make them seem..at least not all the roms..juss like people, no device is perfect ;P some TLC will get ya up to speed.
thanx guys.. i guess it sounds like i should look into some ROMS. if anyone knows of a simple but good one please let me kno. I've tried SBP mobile shell and while it looks cool, its just too much. i dont need fancy animations, just something that looks need and that works.. if that makes sense.. :/
i agree that wm6.5 on the tp2 is rediculously slow and freezes, that is why I upgraded back to wm6.1...
.
is that what you guys mean when you wish it was "faster"? the tp2 on wm6.1 is pretty darn good imho...

would you like to attach the cabs please? :]
Agreed.. I would like to speed up my 6.5 tp2 as well, instead of returning to 6.1. Could anyone help with the cab linx?
im posting frm device so cant post links or dont know how yet thru android..lol if no one comes with the links, just use the search here. theres a cab i saw sir phunk post in the general thread, thats called TP2 welcome basket ..it has the no push internet and dynamic resource proxy in it. the data fix, memory leak mod, sd tune up can be found(i believe) through the search. i got all of them here frm xda. the atm dng 3d driver isnt needed but seemed to speed up and smooth out the tf3d UI a lot. srry dont hve links installing those is easier thn flashing a new rom and u dont void ur warranty
ill be flashing a new rom eventually, not for speed, but to see some different set ups. stock rom is good enuff for me..........for now............... u just have to do the homework n find a good reliable new rom to flash or try what i did(which was recommended to me by veteran members). it wrked out for my tilt2.
now that i think about it, someone, who knows how..lol, should put all of those together in a zip file package or something. along with crud scraper to get rid of bloatware. and post it to the apps thread. like a startup kit to get ur phone up to speed b4 flashing new roms eventually. i aint gnna lie though, im leary at the moment on flashing, but im gaining more confidence on it. i did the homewrk n have all the files, hardspl and energy rom. i just havent flashed yet. i forgot da radio..lmao see..lol whichever route u take, u cant go wrong buddy.

Try the Titanium version of Energy. I use the Sense versions myself (and love it), so I can't personally speak for the Titanium version. But NRGZ28 cooks great stuff, very fast and stable. I don't think you will be disappointing.

Agreed.. I would like to speed up my 6.5 tp2 as well, instead of returning to 6.1. Could anyone help with the cab linx?

If you talk about speed, you have to upgrade to 6.1
6.5 sucks very bad.
Here is a link for hard spl

no prob n thank uuu...i didnt have the sktools...but now i do..lol the neo driver pack is good but i found the atm dng to be a bit more stable with the tilt 2..i tried out the Neo Pack, atm dng, and the opengl(might b mispelled) one. atm dng 3d driver showed the best n most consistent results. Neo did too but atm dng edged it out more by a lil.
also dont forget the Data Fix cab.. glad i could help..

I have the same problem
How many contacts do you have? I have over 5k and it makes my phone act just as you described. If I remove my contact list, it gets a lot faster.
Does anyone else have this problem. Even when I hang up from a phone call the phone is unresponsive for as long as a minute.

Good lord, you know a lot of people.
I use my phone for business and being in sales means I have lots of contacts. I'm sure I could parse it down to 1k or so most likely used contacts but that would take rediculous amounts of time.

[Q] Tilt 2 Installed new ROM. Hate it. Can I go back to Original Shipped ROM?

I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.
if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)
yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Thanks LiquidXed,
Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid
Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.
