I have flashed a few different roms in the past day onto my Diamond.
Iv been getting not so frequent but annoying little quirks and problems.
At some point the phone slows down like hell with all apps closed and cleanRAM already used. Other times my touch screen will go completely untouchable and wont respond but the buttons still work fine. Its also completely freezed up once or twice.
I'm thinking of doing the MTTY method, But I wanted to ask if it could possibly just be the ROM with a few glitches and bugs? It's nothing serious I can live with it, Just a bit annoying.
Nothing to do with the flashing!
If you read the Energy ROM thread you will notice that it uses tremendous amount of RAM at boot (~85%) - std version. This doesn't give you lots of room for many other applications.
This ROM was intended for the Touch HD version witch has more RAM than Diamond if I'm not mistaking...
Try the Titanium version or the OldManilla version for a better RAM consumption! You can also try some tweaks that will lower your Memory usage down to approximately 65% witch is good!
Another good practice is to hard-reset your device after flashing a new ROM this will resolve some mystery problems

Why hard-reset after flashing
showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Hope this will help,
Good luck!
my first rom was also the energyrom. its a pretty one, but speed and memory usage is very bad.
now i flashed the deepshining rom, and i love it. memory usage is well, speed is well... and with some nice add ons by xkaiser it also looks good, too. i think i'm gonna use this rom by now. i suggest you give deepshining a try.
Hi,
Energy roms usually use more ram than other 6.5 ROMs, but freeze isn't rom fault specially if you used cooked roms multiple times. if you check other WM6.5 Threads (BsB, Deepshining or ...) you'll see at some point there are always people experiencing freeze , hard-resets and ... It's specially with WM6.5 New Builds.
For Solving that you have two ways : MTTY or Flashing a Stock ROM first.
Good Luck!

So it really does matter, if you first flash a stock ROM or not? I don't see why this should make any difference!? Perhaps you can tell me why.
BTW: I am not new to xda-developers, but this is kind of my first post... yeah!
AND: I am not new to the topic of flashing, i've done it (more or less successfully) a few times before and I am currently trying to cook my very first own ROM on base of 6.5.1 (perhaps 23047? ;-) ) with nice tools (but not too much), nice graphics, some tweaks and an eye on the memory and battery consumption. Just an ordinary kitchen user. ;-) So this topic is quite interesting for me.
Thanks for an reply.

Hi,
It does matter, but i can't say anything moe! simply i don't why, but i experience this myself with BsB and Deepshining ROMs. if we assume that it works like MTTY, seems that it format or recover something to their original State. (MTTY is a complete format, i think.)
Thanks guys downloading deepshining now. Hope its good
Yea the thing I don't like about energy ROM is its kinda slow and a resource hog. But it looks so nice lol
Thanks for the help guys appreciate it a lot

I am sure that the answer is here somewhere, but I can't find where.
I have an Axim x51v Mobile 5 rom A12 (official ver)
I would very much like to make the device go faster, as fast as possible.
Please tell me what to do.
Overclocking is not an option that i want to risk.
I have no need (that I know of) for Mobile 6.
Thanks,

You can try a forum dedicated to the X51v at www.aximsite.com to see what tips and tweaks are available to increase performance.
However, making it faster is relative. WM5 without apps installed is fast even with the stock ROM. Having apps running and installing new apps tends to add to the lack of responsiveness of WM5.
You may not have a need for WM6.1 or want a custom ROM, but for now, that's the only way I've found to increase and push the responsiveness of Windows Mobile--WM5 or WM6.1. Makuu & Lenny have done some great optimization to the OS and I've been very happy with my X51v ever since I've upgraded to their ROMS (tried WM5, WM6 or WM6.1).
Thanks
I have been thru aximsite and didn't really find what I was looking for, meaning a quick and easy way. You are correct that I have loaded it up and that is really my problem.
Where can I find Makuu & Lenny's tweaked OS?
Also, I have seen mention og football's ROM. Is it worth it?

They are all good but with different customizations. All are based off of Football's work. I prefer Makuu's. His edition has all the software I use (rltoday, TCPMP, VGA Mode, etc). Your preference may be different. You can try them all for a couple of days. I use Sprite Backup 6.2 to restore all my programs and settings on every ROM change (I just hate reinstalling everything). I'm sure if I install everything fresh, my Ax will respond better but it's fast enough right now.
Thanks very much.
I will give each a try and see what happens.
Now I just have to have the time to do it.

Look in Start>Settings>System>Power>Processor and set to "Maximun Performance" rather than the default "Auto". Then you will have 624 MHz speed at all times, rather than throttling down to as low as 104 - at the expense of battery life of course. (If WM5 doesn't have this, then right there is a good reason to go to WM6 - I upgraded to WM6.1 the day I got my x51v so I don't know if this setting is there in WM5)
That was actually the first setting that I set when I got my Axim two years ago.
Thanks
You may have some success by setting the glyphcach value higher in the registry, by turning menu animations off, and a few little things like that. Try the latest football ROM, or Lenny's forthcoming L10 rom. I goofed around with both and compared to WM5 A012 official which I still flash every once in a while to put the awsomeness of the new ROMS into perspective and they were way way faster. If I had never flashed WM6 i would never have believed the device could run so fast!
Upgrading to a WM6 or WM6.1 ROM has a dramatic effect on the speed and stability of my X51V and I speak from using these ROMs since the beginning of this year. Well worth a try, just make sure you select a ROM thats for your specific unit and that you follow all of the directions from the site you get the ROM from.
I went for Lenny's rom and am very happy.
I recommend it.
Though there is one issue,
My battery life has gone down drastically.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

WM6.5 V3.00.707.50 - HTC TRINITY

Thanks to PhamQuang , its agood rom

Will try it over the weekend. Will be a hard one to beat Chanvi's 21501... but worth trying as there is no other WM6.5 to test currently...
BigE
Dynamic page pool, only 19M free RAM
First impression- it seems this rom has a page pool set to zero. Although the phone is amazingly fast, It has only 20M free RAM initially, without trying to install anything. Also- the memory vary down to 16M from time to time without any open app. SKTOOLS makes it 21M but it is too low for my needs. I have changed PP to be 2M and will re-flash and report.
Besides that, from 4 minutes playing with it, very nice look and feel. Will keep posting results soon.

Great ROM but not for me
So sorry to say that, but I can't have a use of this rom. i love everything about it, really, It is well cooked, with everything i need and very little to add.
But it has too much RAM occupied all the time. I tried canceling tasks and gain memory and it does not get enough free RAM for me. To begin with only 48M RAm are available (Chanvi gets 51M) and about 65%-66% is taken at all times without any plugin. iGO will not run properly with less than 20M RAM free. I am short 4-5M to be happy, so although i really think it is one hack of a rom, I can't use it for my needs.
If you don't need memory like i am- I recommend it. Best SIP/Keyboard and GUI I have seen up to date... just memory kills me.
BigE
nice feedback bigE!
very informative
Last V49 was good and I believe that this one is good too. I am against mixing of Manila2D and Titanium especially for Trinity. We need as much free RAM and Storage as we can get. So there is no need to have two interfaces. I tried to contact PhamQuang but without any success so am asking you people especially you arnooo to try to arrange with PhamQuang to cook Titanium only ROM.
Thanks.
Guys, if you want to have a lot of free RAM, my advice is stop using Manila2D or TF3D especially on WM 6.5!
The rom has a bug "RING TONE" - This ring tone file is corrupted or unavaible please choose a different ring tone .. the ring tone are all corruped

Ahhh, great advice. I don't use CHome, M2D and SPB when I need RAM freed. I turn today plugins off when I need memory yet even as 'naked' this rom is about 10M short of memory. Chanvi has cooked some better memory sensitive roms than that. However- as far as GUI and beauty, I like this one better. So in the matter of chosing between beauty and memory, alas, I chose Chanvi's.
There is no one Oz. of criticism here. Just an opinion.

This is a great rom I have had a good play with quite a few now and this one seems to be the better one as far as speed. I had a few problems with getting tomtom 7.9 to work but over come these all ok now.
GREAT WORK.
I tried to install this rom from as much as 4 different computers running XP and Vista, and could not flash. Every time the RUU gives me the Error 200 saying I must update the flashing tool. I tried the same ROM image with different RUU versions and none of them seems to work.
Am I missing something??
Thanks!!

Do you have SPL and radio rom updated. Try this link http://trinityguides.info , and try to update this first.
Do you have p3600 or p3600(I)? Very important!
This ROM is for P3600.

I am currently running an older version of WM6.5 and did all upgrades before with no problems at all.
Radio: 1.56.70.11
SPL: SPR-1.20.Olipro
Thanks!
Pa pozdrav nazaj
Maybe something happened with that SPL. The last thing that I can suggest to you is to try to flash the HARD SPL again. Im using Des' Crash-Proof SPL and I think that I also had a problem with the Olipro.
Do you flashing from the three color screen or from the booted device?
Tried both, from bootloader and booted device :S I will now try to install this Hard-SPL you suggested and the new V51 rom
Hi there, I am after some advice, im currently running Gen.Y R2 D2 but am looking to move back to a more practical ROM rather than a graphically superior ROM.
Im going to miss a few of the features and wondered what will work with this ROM as being older (unsure of build as not stated and not currently running to check if 21xxx+).
1) The HTC notification enhancement (if would work, which files would be needed - cab file available?)
2) Most up-to-date working Youtube app (bearing in mind ROM build)
3) Most up-to-date camera & album builds (bearing in mind ROM build)
Many thanks for any advice given

Hmm I may look at that but im not someone who has time to flash frequently so I have to do so carefully and do my research. Ive used Nataly before and was very impressed, even after all this time, its still benchmarked as the fastest ROM for day to day life. RAM and program memory is outstanding.
My issue with trying the Dia Duit ROM is that although based on the Nataly ROM there is no documentation of changes or new RAM % etc....
I know its updated to TF3d2 but im moving back to Nataly to get away from this as although its nice graphically is to thirsty for my little diamond lol
If I was going to stay with TF3d2 I would stay with Gen.Y as this is by far the fastest and most stable rom available so far IMO.
This is why I thought if I could just add the few things I wanted to take to Nataly ROM then I know thats all Ive added.
Thanks for your swift reply

As well, there's kitchen with many extra options and new drivers - only problem that it is in russian, but you can always download the kitchen and swap the drivers around. I did it, and it improved memory a bit, as well as overall feeling
http://finalek.narod.ru/3.html
kitchen itself
http://narod.ru/disk/13305568000/2.10.1_MODX_KITCHEN_WM61.rar.html
you might consider BSB 6.5 L, once again version L, as i have tried all the others and this one is by far the best, Ram on startup 42%, seldomly goes over 50%, very fast, very stable, and with m.carroll pure2 black vga u get the most exquisite graphical appearence in tone with the diamond, youtube working, camera working, bt and sms thread not working on default install but fixes provided, radio 1.15 recommended

But people keep suggesting ROMS lol
Im trying to find BSB 6.5L but can only find BSB 6.5R and 6.5.1A at the moment, doubt i'll go for this as Ive tried 6.5 before and the honeycomb menu is horrible, its just to messy!!
Thanks for all of your suggestions though

Im happy to try cooking but im after the files to include in a package. I cant just download a kitchen as the packages are broken up into all different directories so trying to figure out what belongs to what is almost impossible.
I was just hoping someone could indicate what files would need to be in a kitchen to enable the new notification enhancement for example.
Nevermind ill probably just stick to Nataly. Its simple but powerful, and more importantly - I know whats in it....

Dear Profs
I think this thread will be useful for most of HD users. The questionis that, is it possible to build .cab for TF3D WM6.1 with the coolest weather effect of HD2, I don't want to sew my device with any WM6.5 ROM! (want to just run .cab and here you are, freezing screen and flying leafs, with cosmic shining sun) If you have link or useful advice please help! Very needed!!!
Just one advice: Flash a 6.5 cooked rom. You don't know what you're missing
Is there no any .cab that will make my proposal truth? Ahh, i dont believe, besides, no time to flash my device with new ROMs.
I tried it for awhile and then flashed another ROM without the effect, it wastes too much memory.
AFAIK you can acheieve this only by flashing a ROM with manila that has the weather effects...
I have tried a ROM with these animations and they were not smooth at all though...just a warning!
It indeeds drains alot of memory, the Blackstone just lacks in RAM to maintain stable. Then again, flashing to wm6.5 really takes a couple of minutes and when you backup all your data, the restoring is done in 30 mins. It's faster, better looking, more finger friendly and more user friendly. I'm really wondering why I didn't do this about a year ago
Before flashing ROM, backup ...
What tool for backup are you using, to be able to restore everything back after ROM upgrade ?
Whant to keep my Tomtom, now I payed for it ;o)

Ok, i must say you guys really have a great community here! It's booming with thread, updates, tweaks, fixes etc. for everything. I've browsed the forums, searched it and i always find several thread concerning the topic i need.
My problem though, is that i can't seem to put all the information i get together! I have been flashing my Diamond a couple times and fallen in love with WM6.5. Currently i have a small rom that i fight with when it comes to sms'ing and dialing/useing the phone. That's a big problem for me.
What i need is a advice really. I need a ROM on my phone that satisfies the following points (in prioritized order):
1. Phone working with number(only) keyboard when i enter a number (this is only a problem with my current rom l3v5y , 25. december). Also when i call one of them "press 1 for bla, 2 for blabla" i need to be able to enter keys, which i can't atm)
2. Texting (email, sms) working with a nice keyboard (ezinput) - not working atm.
3. Danish T9 (i'm really having problems getting this to work => i'm stuck with english dictionary atm)
4. Fast (i'd much rather have fast than fancy!) I don't need touchflo to slow me down.
5. Small (i like to have a lot of free memory) - i really don't need touchflo to hog it all
6. WM 6.5 is nice - it replaces touchflo for me (mostly because of leaving more ram)
I currently have a WM 6.5 version that has the start button and other small icons on the bottom - is that the 6.5.x versions? It seems nice, but definately not a must.
Please, do you have any input? I don't mind doing some work, but i'll probably mess it up if it's too complicated
Revolution
Ok i think i settled for Revolution Titanium
I still need to have T9 with danish working and i'm still a bit confused about changing radio, misc fixes/tweaks etc. It's a jungle!

LOL, that's how I felt when I got starting but the trick is...don't do anything until you have read for days.
You are past a decent hump at your stage but you still have ways to go. Reading all the stickies is step 1.
Flashing a Radio: Same as flashing a ROM. Just put the both files in the same folder and start the process by going to the RUU_exe. file.
There is also an internal method but I don't want to overwhelm you at this point.

With the Radios, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, try them all out for a day or week at a time to see which gives you the best battery consumption to performance ratio.
As for the HARD SPL, definitely upgrade. Everyone should have Hard SPL 1.93 (located in my signature). The problem is that 1.40 is write protected and upgrading won't be easy. Try first on your own to see if a simple upgrade will work. If it doesn't work, jot down the error number and get back to me.
Enjoy..
Thanks for the input I can't seem to figure out if a ROM can contain a radio as well? It seems i have the v1.09.25.23 radio and i'm not sure if the titanium ROM installed that - or perhaps a previous ROM that was prepacked with an installer (ack, i know...) - or if it's default from the factory?
Anyways WiFi doesn't seem to work anymore, could that be because of the radio change or the titanium or perhaps my hardware suddenly faulting? I haven't been using wifi untill now for the last two ROM tryouts - i only need it now for connecting to the local (home)network...

When downloading a chefs rom, they most like give you the ROM only. Titanium is basically the default interface and is always included as it's part of microsofts interface but most chefs shut it off and use manila (either 2.1 or 2.5 versions).
It's possible that something is interferring with the wifi and it's possible that it could be hardware related but the only way to really find out is to flash another rom to rule out the Rom Variable or perhaps it's a app that you installed. Play around with it.
Ah yeah i ment revolution - i'm using the titanium version (not using manila) - i'll probably try and flash to the recommended radio (the one recommended in the revolution thread).
Thanks again for the feedback
