Faster Dell Axim x51v

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,
Jo

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?
Thanks,
Jo

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.
Greatly appreciate.

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.

Hi,
Can x50v use these ROM?
thx

I have the x51v but while going thru the forums i noticed that there are x50 versions.
Lenny has one, just do a search for Lenny rom x50.
Have fun with the reinstalls.

Energy ROM bad flash?

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

Just bought a Touch Pro 2 and some rom questions...

Hi,
I jumped from an Xda IIi -> E-Ten G500 -> 2x P3300's (lcd broken inside) -> HD Touch Pro2
Nice phone, hope it will serve for 10 years or more :-D
Some questions : i'm new in the TouchPro2 section, i would like to ask you all :
1> What's the fastest rom at the moment?
2> What's the best looking ?
3> What's the fastest & best looking combination (medium rom, not lite nor full)
4> Is rom flashing easier than with the P3300 (is there "nouspl" stuff needed? or problems with 64bit versions, had to flash on my friends 32bit pc)
5> I just flashed the latest radio and worked directly! Did not need anything like nouspl
Cause I heard the 6.5 rom is way slower on this device than previous 6.1.
Thanks!
Cheers,

Best rom is stock 6.5
Honestly ive been flashing roms for about four months without finding 1 perfect yet they all have flass the best i found is Energyrom Pheonix2 the best looking is Energyrom Leo however I have had issues with dropped calls, landscape mode not working, and freezing. Not to mention every time he revises his rom you need to re-flash and sut your phone up all over again so i decided it was too much of a hassle and i went with the new tmo stock rom and i turned off that htc sense crap and and i just tricked out my ms titanium screen

I agree. NRG's roms are quite fast, especially the latest one, but i had been having issues with his others i moved to a stock eu rom, which i liked because of the general stability. Now i'm using Timor v0.9 and i like it. Stock look and feel but generally fast, with stock stability. All in all it depends on what you want. Pretty much just flash away and see.

Generally, threads about which ROM is best are locked, because there are too many ROMs and everyone has different preferences. I, for example, like EnergyROM Leo 21885, but someone else might like the Cell Pro series or the Valkyrie series of ROMs. It's really personal preference, and the best thing you can do is flash all of them and decide what you like best. It may seem daunting, but it's the only real way, though it helps to look at people's signatures where they often post their ROM.
As for your other questions, I've never owned a P3300, but flashing a ROM on the Rhodium is very easy. First, you put HardSPL on your device, which is a modified bootloader which doesn't enforce signature checking on ROMs, allowing you to flash a custom ROM. Then, there are a few ways you can flash, using your SD card or your PC with CustomRUU (64 bit does work, I can confirm). You can find the full instructions on how to flash a ROM and install HardSPL here.

My Faves
Here is a list of my personal favorites that I have tried and would recommend to any one who wants to flash.
WM6.5 Josh's PerfectBlack 1.7-FINAL!, Sense 2.1
This ones light and fast. and stable I must say. Three versions to this. I prefer the LIGHT.
WM6.5.5 AthineOS 23518, Sense 2.5
I have to agree this really is the fastest and smoothest when it comes to Sense 2.5
Jackos Hybrid ROM (V4) WM6.1 21048 + Sense 2.1
I am currently latched on to Jackos Hybrid. Works pretty much the same way as any WM 6.5 ROM with Sense, well at least for me. Meets all my requirements and I have to say it is the fastest with the most amount of free memory with Sense.
Not a very big fan of Energy ROMS as they tend to use up a lot of memory, but are smooth and fast too.
Finally the choice is up to you.
Cheers.

[Q] Original-Like Diamond ROM

Hello,
I tried 2 or 3 custom ROMs, but I realise that I don't use or need all the bonuses and I don't want my phone to be slow with things I don't use.
I only want to use phone and IGO8 GPS, that's all.
But I still want to have TF3D interface.
Is there any ROM exactly the same like the original one with old TouchFlo 3D and nothing more, apart from performance tweaks?
Am I missing something if I install an original ROM from htc website? or are there any better roms with only performance tweaks?
After installing cooked roms, can I install originall rom in the same way (mtty and diamond-image install from internal storage) ?
Thank you

You should try Cloudyfa 1.3 Rom

you can try above mentioned ROM or search forum for AZTOR ROMs
and get any WM 6.1 AZTOR ROM

I installed Cloudy 1.3 and it is very snappy and just what I needed.
Also some improvements on the calling interface and dialer, it feels faster than the original GPS works very good. Memory load after install 47%, now after some aditions to programs pane and people - 50%. That's very good. Clean and fast ROM. I'm very happy with it. Thank you mates!
Here the ROM for anyone else interested:

[Q] What's the best ROM for the blackstone?

I've seen a lot of roms developed in this forum. I've now the Energy Rom NLD. But I can't overclock my Touch HD with this ROM. So I'm looking for another ROM.. one that's stable, fast and can do many things (especially making pictures and video's in good quality)...
I hope someone can advise me a better ROM than the Energy Rom. Cause I've already seen that and I'm ready for something new....

inb4 ****storm
One of notable ROM is Dutty v3.9 XT turbo.

The best ROM u can use is kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA
Why?!
1. Because is with the Manila version and this make the whole interface super fast and stable.
2. Its 6.5 Based from COM2 witch is most stable bug free branch with super ram and battery consumation.
3. Because the ROM is tweaked and is even more faster and stable than a Stock ROM and this is Must have for EVERYDAY use if you want to enjoy your Blackstone.
4. You will never have any problem witch this ROM because just there is no SINGLE BUG
5. Our Blackstones are not made for 2.5 Sense or even 2.1 Sense because its to slow i play alot with HD2 and i know how the Sense must to look and response.. so maybe we never will catch the speed and the Sense to run on your Blackstones like is designed to be.. for this reason if you want to have a stable rom you just need TouchFLO Manila with core 6.5 this is the question WHY exactly this ROM.
Also if you prefer a 6.5.3 Based ROM there is exactly the same ROM v 5.7 COM3 Manila the diference is of the Branch Build i also test this ROM too and is super good but COM2 is the fastest and stable ONE till now no one beat it
Enjoy

I got this phone to since a little while.
At the moment I have W.M. 6.1 installed (standard Rom)
The kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA looks good for as far as I know. But since this is my first W.M. advanced phone, I'm not sure if it's wise to do this 'upgrade'.
If something happens with my phone, what then? Because these ROM's are more like hacks or am I wrong?
Is the phone really getting faster for example? And do I need to install all kinds of extra if I install this kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA ROM?
I read the sticky's etc about flashing ROM's, but since English isn't my main language and I'm not yet that technical in all these terms, I'm not sure if it's wise for me to install a different ROM.
(sorry for hijacking this thread, but since I'm also looking for the best ROM, I think it's appropiate to post this here)

Ofcourse 1st now u have WM 6.1 and he have ugly Start Menu and appireance etc and if you install 6.5 will see the diference..
the Cooked ROM`s are not Hacks they are build from the latest avalible apps xip and etc packages.. for example when there is new Update for the Rhodium or HD2 Leo because they both use the same resolution and etc the cookers get the latest updates from there and make them for our Blackstone..
So when you are flashing a new ROM cooked you are going to have the latest updates published from Microsoft and in some cases HTC
I think that worth to Flash a new ROM and experiment and if you read evrything carefull you cannot damage your device..
The honest is that WM 6.1 maybe is the fastes one because of the poor graphic and appiriance but some of the cooked rom are faster than 6.5 because they are Cooked and because some unusual stuffs are removed from the ROM.. so when you flash a Cooked ROM you get only the things that are writen in the ROM thread..
So to understand me clear a Stock Official 6.5 ROM for example for HD2 and Cooke 6.5 ROM for HD2 the cooked one will BEAT in many aspects..
They are tweaked... optimized.. updatet and etc!
So the only reason why they are Cooked and we call not official is because the Cookers are just guys from here.. if they was working for Microsoft or HTC they will be releasing Official ROM`s

nice article man.. thank u..

Did you upgrade radio? My Blackstone was overclocked to 750MHz on stock ROM (1.14) but when I flashed Barebone 2.6 (1.59) it couldn't go over 691MHz untill radio upgrade. Now it's stable at 729MHz.

kwbr 5.7 Manila
Hi All
I can only agree with tsalta
kwbr 5.7 C2 Manila is the best ROM around for everyday use.
I have got my Blackstone from my uncle with this rom a year ago. Never had problems.
Last week I've experimented with some latest roms (Several Energy, and kwbrs with sense in them).
Sense is too slow/unresponsive on our machine. That was bugging me - since I know how fast it should be.
I'm coming back to No Sense ROM. Surely, I will miss the eye candy of Sense, and huge amount of quick links in Energy, but the performance and the battery life means more to me.
