Anyone else having serious crash problems with WM6.1 ROMs?

After trying six or seven WM6.1-based ROMS from three different cookers (19199 and 19209), I'm starting to wonder if there's not something 'seriously' wrong with the WM6.1 base image.
I begins to strike me as some sort of duration-based memory degradation. My experience has been that runtime lasts between 2 and 48 hours before a hard reset is necessary. In my case, I pared my installs down to adding merely my password safe as the only add-on, and still it crashed.
The most interesting pre-crash was going to "Programs" and noticing the number of icon substantially reduced (...and reducing...), and the remaining icons as default program icons.
After about five days of fighting with these and trying different methods of extending runtime, I reloaded an older copy vp3G's 3.0.0 from last summer and haven't had a problem for the past 72 hours. In fact, I had no lock-ups with WM6-based, previously.
I'd be interested in other people's experiences with WM6.1-based ROMs on the Hermes...

i may be wrong, but i think recall reading that flashing back to your stock rom, then flashin to 6.1 may fix some hard reset problems....
as for me, ive used 4 or 5 6.1 roms and havent experienced a hard reset.....my latest and favorite so far is faria's and dr.p's 6.1 rom, been running a week no hard reset...
im usin an at&t branded 8525

i was having a few issues with this but ended up changing radio versions from my standard 1.16 to 1.48.
havent had an issue since doing that.

i had the crash problem also, but after I not install htc cube in any of the wm6.1, everything ok and stable.
problem is with cube in wm6.1 i think.

Faria's is the best so far, but they all have problems to varying extents. Have you tried running Oxios Close apps? That will help you claim back memory and maybe help prevent the need for a hard reset. you can get it here: http://www.oxios.com/memory/

Interesting. I did notice that on some ROM flashes that boot screen retained a previous ROM's splash. That might mean that some ROMs are not including all facets (OS, Radio...Bootloader?) of the complete image. Will give that a shot now that I'm back to a stable WM6.

Radio is 1.45 with vp3G 3.0.0. Will check again after a Faria re-flash and upgrade to 1.48 if it isn't included.

I had that thought too, but my last ROM didn't include any of the HTC apps, at all, so I think it's some conflict or something lower level. The cube 'is' a resource hog, however...

The resets are always due to hard lockups, and they can be with only Activesync running as an application. I try to keep the number of running apps at a minimum for reasons that are probably fairly obvious to all here...

Im also having the same problem .. all sorts of experiments has been done to test on why WM6.1 crash when I install them .. but 1 thing i noticed that it always hang before softreset that eventually lead to hardreset .. i thought hardware accelerations problem ... so what i do is .. every WM6.1 i changed to 8mbpp .. until now my machine ok.

Flash to stock rom then to wm 6.1... Apparently there is a problem if you flash from big storage rom to wm 6.1(not sure why this is so) but there have been a huge number of people who say this works for them, myself included.... I tried every wm6.1 rom that came out then doing something stupid eflashe stock os. No problems with wm 6.1 since. Also I believe that 19209 is somewhat more stable than versions 19199 or 19202... I'm using PDAViets 19209 rom,just changed to black edition, and have had NO trouble EVER since installing it when it first came out, no soft resets and more importantly, no hard resets... Cheers

After trying almost everything to get more than a few hours of runtime out of WM6.1, I followed the above instructions to the letter and WM6.1 has worked for 24 hours now (yes...a new record). I will update in a few days if the Hermes/Faria 6.1 combo continues to function.
One note: I was not able to use Vista to update to Hard-SPL after the Stock AT&T 6.0 ROM re-flash. Each attempt resulted in an updater error on the PC after the handheld entered bootloader mode. Did the same procedure on XP and it worked flawlessly.

Hey. Had the same problems but i solved it with flashing a AT&T Stock Rom first.
Now my Hermes with PDAVIET B&C WM6.1 Rom running like a flash
Without any freezes.

Sorry, but following those instructions does NOT solve my problem. It does for some, but not all.
What works for ME, is to turn off the Storage Card power saving.

Auto hard resets

I am using my device with WM6.1 19900 build ROM for about a week. All that time the device was very stable, no lockups, no resets.
Today I upgraded my friend's device (exactly the same one) to the same ROM with the same settings and additinoal programs. On the first hour of use, he had 3 (!) hard resets that occured with no reason during a normal work.
The only change is that I changed the pagepool size of his ROM to 4Mb (mine is 6Mb). Can it possibly happen because of pp size?

No it can't be related to PP size at all.
If you had even bothered to search the forum or the Wiki you would have found the answer to your question which has been extensively covered in this forum.
Eventhough i will humour you and tell you waht to do:
1. Flash an original carrier ROM [you can find lots of them in the Wiki]
2. Hard reset
3. Install the desired ROM
4. Hard reset
5. Proceed with normal usage
If you have problems or doubts, before asking, please read the Wiki and search the forum.
Cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am pretty experienced with ROM upgrading and I did the upgrade exactly as you (and Wiki) describe!
Now I updated the pagepool back to 6Mb and reflashed the ROM.
No hard resets yet, but I am still testing. Will post the results.

It might be the problem with your ROM. Change to a different ROM and see if it fixes it!

I believe you do have a point there... Page pool can NEVER be related to hard resets...
Curiosity: From which part of India are you? PM me wiht the answer if you like
Cheers.

Ok, This is not a pagepool size. The device is still hard resetting.
How is it possible that two identical devices, the same ROM performs so differently!?
That ROM is so stable for me, I like it, but the other device just refuses it!
I will start trying other ROMs. I will try to flash the original ROM and then flash the new one again. With all the required HR in the middle.

for me hard resets did not stop until i flashed a cingular rom but i dont know if thats because i have an 8525 or the extended rom is different some how.
for example i flashed a dopod rom twice trying to fix it and only a cingular rom did the trick if your still having hard resets its worth a try

What type of hermes are both devices? Are they alike? Are they from different sub-builds? Are they HERM100, HERM200, HERM300?
Maybe the problem is related to that.

These are both IMate JasJam devices sold by the same cellular provider (Cellcom) on the same date!
Both devices had the original WM5 ROM from Cellcom.
Both devices were HR before the upgrade. On the first one (mine), I flashed about 10 ROMs including both WM6 and WM6.1, before I found the perfect one (WM6.1). On the second device, I flashed it with that ROM from the beginning.
May be flashing WM6 on the other device before WM6.1 will solve the problem.
Does anybody know why this happens? How reflashing the ROM solves the problem?

SwiftBL ROM installation, huge success. (+what I did)

Hi there,
after using my o2 Xda Diamond for over a month now on the original ROM, today I finally installed my first custom ROM. After reading through many of the cooked ROM threads, I decided to use the "SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Lite-12MbPP", which i got here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408109.
After downloading the ROM, I also got the HardSPL "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex" from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2312249#post2312249
which allows you to install the custom ROM.
After connecting my Diamond through Active Sync and the Mobility Center from my Windows Vista, I started the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" found in the unpacked SPL folder, and pressed the "ok" button on the Diamond Screen to start the installation. After that the Xda Screen turned black, while the progress bar on the Windows update setup, not on the Phone showed 0%, directly after that it finished saying the connection was broken. I just started the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and everything went the way it should.
After the restart I went to the unpacked "SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Lite-12MbPP" folder to start the "ROM.exe" there, which starts the actual ROM installation.
After like 5min or something the Phone reboots, progs getting installed ect. and I was ready to use it.
Furthermore I installed a few custom applications and in two of them you might be interested in. Or lets say you should be, because they rock =)
1. A simple battery display tool "ArielBattery2" which can be found here:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278"
and after changing the background color to black and the battery bar to white,
you get a perfect match with the TouchFlo3D theme used in the SwiftBL ROM.
2. A great config tool for TouchFlo3D "Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7" which can be found here:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749".
So far I am very pleased with my phone. Its fast, stable and everything goes the way it should. Im really glad I switched to the SwiftBL ROM, for me it´s a huge upgrade in every way to the default ROM provided by o2.
I also wanted to thank you guys for the hard work and the time you spend creating custom Software for our phones, I really appreciate it.

Hi There.
I think this should be in his thread.

Just switch over to SwiftBL rom from panosha's.

And why are this posts not is SwiftBL ROM thread?

GLad to see you managed to get away from you O2 mould though

Issue with Dialer and Contacts under wm6.1

Hi All !!
First - Thanks alot for this forum! it's the BEST!
I'm currently using PDACornerPro.V27 on my TyTN. but the same error happend with Schaps, Corner v20 and another TouchFLO rom.
Whenever I install Paragon LENG hebrew support on my device it just disables any way of accessing the Phone Dialer and the Contacts. Removing it doesn't work either, once installed - it f#$ks it up for good.
I've tried searching the registry with no luck whatsoever...
Can any of you Hermes Gurus help me out here?
Thanks!

don't use the LENG hebrew,in addition to the problems u describe, its doesnt support the hardware keyboard of tytn.
personally this is what i do:
1.install Hebcert.cab from orange extended rom(attached below)
2.install 180407_HebrewTyTN.cab but DONT restart when prompted.
3.goto Progs. Lang setting(hagdarot safa 3 letters icon alef bet gimel) change the upper bar from the top option to buttom(it suppose to say interface lang. and the upper is hebrew the other is english but you cant c before reset)
4.now press (x) to reset
//////note: u dont have contacts hebrew browsing in the normal contact manager,
so use pocketCM with the setting.ini file i attached(just put in the pcm folder in progam files
//////also u dont have smart dialling for hebrew, so use this one jimmy98 made for us its works great with htc touch dialer also attached below(u can use different skin with hebrew letters).

Thank you so much!
haven't tried it yet since it requires me to flash a new rom, I'll get to it this weekend.
anyhow, thanks alot, it's nice to have a supporting community.

bekef dude
u know u can hard-reset right? that way u dont have to flash anew rom
but if u feel like changing anyways i recommend this ones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428597
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973
i use the last one cause its lighter but if u dont feel like working much go with the first it has everything plus youtube and google maps etc.

Yeah, I know I can Hard Reset.. but I've been meaning to change to a new rom for sometime now, and Hard Reset will make me install everything all over again so I used the opportunity to flash.
I have a problem with the hebrew, Maybe you came across it too - after installing the hebrew, When I press the power button the device goes to standby and when I press the power again it doesn't get out of it until I soft reset it...
It renders the device quite useless..
P.S I've flashed the device with the rom u've recommended. it's reallllly fast.

Tytn Doesnt wake up
its a known issue hate it when that happens
you can read more here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273836
it happened to me a few times i still havent figuered out why,
but thebest solution is to change the rom,
try falshing another rom i'm working with the lighter one ive posted and it works smooth havent tried the other so i guess thats the one you flashed.
good luck

No luck... so far I've tried with 4 different ROMs and didn't succeed in any attempt, I've tried both of the ROMs you've recommended, PdaCorner v.27 RBSN 3G and CRC dev 14.1 beta... as I said, The hebrew installs fine but once the device goes to standby/power saving it just dies...
I've tried doing what the post you've ref'd me to offered - disabling the advance network features on the pc-usb connection and removing some addons like the Voice-Commander... no luck either... been at it all night
is it possible that HebCert.cab or 180407_HebrewTyTN.cab you've attached are not of the right version?
The Hebrew is WAAAAAAY better than Paragon's LENG (as long as the device stays on) that doesn't even let me use Opera past ver8.6, and I'd really hate to give it up.
Please advise..

the version of the hebrew is from my phone but is identical to the hebrew cabs from other orange tytn phones.
+iv'e dumped my ext.rom like a year ago then my phone broke (physicly) just last week and
the new tytn orange gave me had the same exact cabs for hebrew
(with almost the same rom newer version but wm5 uglyass green lame-o)
so that's not it for sure..
++it happened to me as well with several roms with the same hebrew cabs
for no apparent reason but now it works just fine.
+++u can always go back (assuming u backedup)to the original orange rom
that came with your tytn and dump the hebrew cabs from your ext.rom though it will be a waste of time.
one thing i did that help with the PDAcorner's older version with this problem was to update the HARD-SPL version to 2.3
..so check your spl version by reseting to the bootloader
(reset while holding the power button and the top left ok button)
if its lower than 1.40 theres a big chance an update would do the job..
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/
update to 2.1 or to the latest then reflash i suggest to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973
cause we know it works for sure.
+don't install nothing not even the hebrew..check if the device wakes then install ONLY the hebcert(btw:u install this first always) and main file but change the interface language before reset so it wont boot with hebrew menus even once..post back if the problem presists.. good luck

I Refuse to give up!!
Well, I did everything you offered, bit by bit -
1. Updated to HardSPL 2.1
2. Flashed to HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2008
3. Did an ON and OFF tests, few times - after power off, soft reset eg.. (ps I found out that Soft Reset from the os doesn't work either after the hebrew installation - so I checked that too) - all worked fine.
4. I've installed the HebCert.cab and then the main file.
5. changed the interface language to english.
6. Reset and voila... same bug all over again
I thought maybe it had something to do with installing the hebrew while the tytn is connected to activesync so i did all that without it being so.
got any more ideas?
# _

listen this time youll get it stright,..
i think its all cause you got the WRONG rom..
i saw you wrote "HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2 008" rom while i was talking about:
27/10/2008 ROM 3.62.502.20 (Manila2D) V.20 Build 20921 by PhamQuang
http://rapidshare.com/files/157947939/HERMES_WWE_3.62.502.20_B20921_Manila2D.rar as the lighter rom installed
anyways i felt kinda guilty cause i recommended it (though i told you i havent tested it but i guess you didnt understand to which one i was refferin)
so i flashed the rom you were talking about just to check
and suprise suprise my tytn didnt wake same as yours..
reflashed back to 27/10/2008 ROM 3.62.502.20 (Manila2D) V.20 Build 20921 by PhamQuang(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439973)
and TA-DA works like a charm..
so i would suggest to repeat the same stages as from your last message only this time with the right one
good luck buddy im sure this time itll work
btw the password for the file ishamQuang

If I haven't said it so far - thank you ever so much for your time and effort.
Well, I did write the name of that rom but I've tried both roms on the same process...
I did, however, manage to get some progress on another angle - I've updated my radio version (was the only thing we didn't cover) and now it works with the Manila2D rom. alas, nothing else seems to be working...
I've started to install all my favorite progies (Adobe Reader LE, PocketRAR, SPB Insight, JBED, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, etc...) and everytime the darn phone hangs on one of the installation and just DIES... only hard reset can revive it...
I'm gonna start from scratch - tomorrow I'm gonna take a naked rom and start building on top of it... I must be doing something wrong. only good indication is that the phone can get in and out of standby WITH the your hebrew version - so I know the hebrew is ok.
I'll go thru with it tomorrow and keep you posted.
again, I really appreciate your efforts to help. thanks.

your very welcome.. to be honest its just cause were both israellis and also because i went through this crap myself but no one here could really help me i had to solve it myself..
i DID forget to tell you the first thing i did to the phone was to SUPERCID unlock it:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
try it if you havent already, mayb the protection is whats causin all the freezes. plus its unlocks the sim bull****.

BTW:
you dont need to install opera for manilla2d:

Great (Partial) Success!!
Ok! here's what I did and some conclusions I've come to:
1. flashed CRC r14.1 Big Storage ROM.
2. Installed ALLLLLLLLLLLL of the app's I needed prior to the hebrew installation.
3. Cleared all Caches, Temps, and MRU lists etc using SKtools.
4. Clean Start the device (SR).
5. Installed the hebrew, changed interface language and Soft reset.
6. Enjoyed my new revived device!!
now the only thing that DOES go wrong is the Java emulation, I've tried all available versions of Esmertec Jave (20080222 3.1M, 20080328.31 and 20080428.2.1) Tried installing to the device and to the SD and didn't succeed. I also tried to use the Device Update feature of CRC to get the latest java version from thier repository... didn't succeed either.
The thing is, before the hebrew was installed all versions worked fine, and after that NONE did...
I also think that this piece of software is what causing the device to die!!
After I remove the java emulator the device just hangs on the boot screen.
I've flashed my device numerous times with a whole bounch of ROMs, The conclusion I came to is that the hebrew worked on MOST of the ROMS didn't have JBED pre-installaed!
I would have checked it but I'm tired from flashing and installing stuff on my device for now, maybe next month... I gave up on using OperaMini since I don't have a working java emulator currently.
Which, if any, are u using?
Thanks for all the pieces of software you've recommended, I tried the PDF reader you suggested and I like Acrobat LE 2.5 Diamond edition better.,,
Anyhow - It's working now. so as my project instructor said - if it works - don't touch it!
Thanks alot for now! I WILL try to isolate the problem and keep you posted!
I Owe you man..

Are there any 3G version for WM 6.1?
Thanks

Advice needed........

Ok so i'm new to this custom rom thing but i'm kinda forced to it since I bought my Diamond in India and apparently htc doesn't offer updates on their site and I can't be bothered to go to the airtel website (wich is probably in Hindy ) and look for an update.
So I managed to update to HardSPL 1.4 using the tutorial thread (thanks btw, all worked like a charm ) and installed the radio 1.0.25.05 (according to the same thread the recommended version)
So now i'm seeing many roms out there and have absolutely no clue wich rom to choose.
Maybe some advice ?
Here is my wishlist/stuff that matters
I'm based in Holland, so i'm bound to end up with one of the major providers here and gonna go for some hsdpa contract.
I'd love my HTC to be faster
I like the msn thing, but it's not required.
I don't want to be running beta/buggy softwares, my pc runs that kind of softwares, not my phone
Also i've seen (after installing the radio rom) that in a different thread there is a lot more different radio roms, with people liking the some better than the one reccommended in the tutorial post, is there a better rom and should I use it ? (better gps, faster, less batt usage ?)

Best are 1.93 rom for the "fast" part you asked but it's getting old (like 6 or 8month i guess). After you will want to go for a 2.03 rom which provides you more functionalities.
I will advise you Hikari rom, udK Syrius Topaz or Shaks or nataly. These are the rom I try every time there is a new release, I change rom every 1 or 2week so better is you check yourself.
You must have HardSPL unsigned edition for some of these rom, it's the same procedure as 1.4 SPL.
BTW, you know you can upgrade directly from your internal storage?
just put your nbh file in your storage card with the name "diamimg.nbh" (stands for Diamond Image) then reset while pressing VOL_DOWN + BACK (the button up from the hang up button). After this, you will see a HardSPL like screen (red blue green) then a gray~light blue screen asking to press the power button to upgrade.
You can do this for radio, spl and rom. It's quicker, safer and better IMO.
