Hi,
I'm currently using a stock Orange UK ROM which I believe is prob AKU2.
Whats the advantages to moving to AKU3+?
I'm interested in speed/robustness rather than features.....

I actually ran almost all roms here and returned to my usual O2 rom
I feel that my program memory gets depleted with most roms here
but they do pack some good features
the noticablle ones are
1.more SIM card utils
2.usb hdd
3.few new graphics
doesnt sound that worth it then?
Helmi AKU 3.5 v1.3 is much faster and has a bunch of useful applications built in.
Challenge anyone to prove that the stock AKU is better.
I change my mind
Ivan's AKU test 2 makes all the difference in the world
added to my list ,it also adds on a lot of speed
and a lot of program memory
I guess you must try it to really know the difference

A stock AKU can be made as fast by simply increasing the pagepool. The useful applications or Extra apps from Helmi's ROM can be simply extracted and added to a stock AKU. The stock AKU has definitely less bugs than all the new AKU3 ROMs.
So an advise I can give to any beginner is to stay away from the new AKU3 ROMs until a final release can be made. Unless, you want sleepless nights, then feel free to try the customized ROMs.
The best feature of AKU 3.x is the support for WPA2

Obviously you can add extra apps in stock AKUs. But they arent already in the stock AKUs.
The speed isnt just increased pagepool at all.
-If you think it really is, prove it with benchmarks: stock AKU vs AKU3.5 !!

Why do you prefer AKU 3 ROM when there are a lot of bugs and the never ending memory leaks my friend?
In my own personal experience with the aku 2 and aku 3.2, I noticed that the 3.2 rom to be quicker and snapier. This is my opinion with my mda and jasjar. My mda did have problems with dropping calls but the Universal has far more stable aku3 roms and never had this problem. So far I dont have the memory leaks that I also experienced with my mda. So I'm sticking to this aku3 rom. Also my 4gb Sd card works perfectly with camera apps on Fat32 unlike the stock rom which gave me problems.
help
my xda universal o2 exec is stuck in serial mode. i downloaded the aku 3.2 and the mega tool then i clicked one of the files in the mega tool thats suppose to help run it on the universal and my phone just whent to this mode it says serial at the top and v1.00 at the bottom
I think your bootloader has to be at least 1.01 to upgrade to 3.2 rom.

Okay, let me say first that you have won our little banter having spelled 'friedn' correctly.
However, I must say that I havent found any memory leaks in Helmi's aku3.5 v1.3 despite the reports of some others. But thats my own experience so far since its release.
It really has been considerably faster both in boot up and running than previous aku versions I have tried.
There are some bugs, its true. The only one I have encountered is that I cant get an internet connection using the 'hayes compatable' modem feature any more. But Im not sure if its due to a bug or due to me forgetting the settings. Other than that, I havent come across any others, though one or two are recognised.

We are all friends here, but this is my experience. I have about close to 70 apps installed in my 4GB SD Card formatted to FAT32 and 16 apps to my internal memory. Now all works 100% as it should be on the stock ROM. Something which I can't achieve in any AKU3 ROMs that had been released. I have no memory leaks, again something that I have always experienced with the AKU3 ROMs especially after I have installed a lot of apps. Now to me, if a ROM can't support that many apps to run without any hitch or problems, then there is a problem with stability. So, I was just curious why you stated that AKU3 ROMs are better. I hope I did not make you feel antagonized by any of my post, I was just curious.
Yes, boot-up is slower in official AKU2 ROM, but I had my device set to perform an automatic reset after a backup at 5am so it is ready to go when I wake up and cleared of any junk to be be used for the day. To me boot-up time is not important as I have no need to soft reset in the middle of the day, unless testing a new app.
When I test any ROM, even the elluded XXXXXbow, I start from scratch with nothing installed and install and check each app one by one and watch the stability of the ROM to run the app.

Feel free to tell us why you prefer him, which version do you think he made better and why.
What applications would you like to see in his next version?
What applications you'd like to see removed on his next version?
Important note: This is a thread NOT meant to diminish anyone or his skills, or the other way around. It's meant for people to compare the pros and cons on their ROMs, helping them make better ones, and helping the users decide which one they see most fit to their purposes.
Everyone is voting, but no one has yet given any reasons why to like or dislike someone's ROM.
Come on people, I bet they want feed back, and so do we!
I only used bepe's and udK's ROMs, and for a very short period. I think bepe's ROMs are great because he makes 4 different versions with different applications in them. Right now I'm using latest Vega R1 from udK and liking it, but I'm looking forward some minor bug fixing (like the italian text in the cube) in next R2.
I tried many swtos, bepe and udk ROMs...
Result for me is that udKs ROM is without erros, fast and very stable
Ok, after trying all of them i cocluded to udK's R1 because apart from the fact that it is very fast and stable, it has a different design and looks than all the other common ROMs.
I prefer to see something new except that full-light-skinny, etc!
I Would suggest cookers to have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390543

Indeed, there is, but with particular ROM and not the latest ones. I created this one so people could express how they feel with the ROMs they've been using over the time. And especially for people to discuss what they like more and/or less in the ROMs, so it can help cookers do their job even better, and to help the new guys (like myself) understanding what they should want on the ROMs they install.
The builds, the applications, the stability of the OS, everything should be discussed here. Even though there are hundreds of other threads to do so.

I Agree with athanaso..some new ideas like TOM..
I prefer Infido but he's not in the choices nice, essential and fast ROM.
So i voted Bepe
I agree with new stuff and appearance, if they don't affect the overall performance of the device. It's always great to see a new face on our handheld.

I'm sorry about that. I only made the Poll with the top 5 contributors on this board (at least the most recent ones). I also tried a ROM previous to bepe and udK's, but don't know who made it. A friend gave it to me, and it was nice. But I prefer the udK's.
On the bepe's ROM I tried, 0.67 Opera, I had an issue with the Opera installed which didn't let me Zoom In / Zoom Out more than once. It's a fixed Zoom, and sometimes I need to Zoom just a bit and I couldn't. Also tried to install the latest Opera Mobile on that ROM, but couldn't get that feature to work.
Since udK's does not provide Opera browser, when I installed the latest version, it gave me the option to Zoom at will. That was the main reason I stuck with it.
Btw, since you people test a whole lot of ROMs, can you please tell me how do you backup stuff from one to another? I tried to backup email accounts and GPRS connections once, from one ROM to the next one, but couldn't get it to work properly. Is there a tool which is compatible with any ROM?
Thanks.
Voted 4 bepe for the qualtity and the versatility of his ROM.
He has 4 lines of ROM in 5 Languages.
My vote would go to udK cuz the ROM is a lil better than bebe's...but there is only 1 version in only 1 language

UDK's rom is super fast...but I use bepe's simply because I don't like the soft new key and also when you press on the email icon on home screen it goes to messaging and not direct to email like on bepe's rom...Have I know how to change that I'd probably go with UDK's ROM

Cause bepe has longer history in this forum. He is a well known cooker (from previous devices also) and all XDA community respect that.

however, recently it is starting to hang...
usually when trying to unlock..
and it became slower..
any idea why?

do u have any custom roms on it? i personally expected the performance to be better when i had the stock rom. but then after flashing a while, i love the blackstone.. so try custom roms maybe untill u find one that gives u the performance that u like on it.
i do not have a custom rom.. was afraid of stability /security problems.. do they really make the hd faster?
Yeah really do they make hd faster?If yes which one is the best for normal usage??
The ROM:s here @ xda are the main reason I did not sell/scrap my HD long ago. With stock ROM, I think this unit is slow, ugly and just bad.
Look around, a lot of ROM:s here are sooo much faster than stock. I promise you will never go back.
For the best speed experience, I recommend using a 6.1 ROM with 2.1 Manila. I can not point out any speficic one obvious, take a look in the charts already suplied in the ROM part of this forum.
I am using a win 6.5 ROM for the moment, but speed is a bit lower.
Good luck!
try using a wm 6.5 based energy rom 2.1 manila
it will change ur whole outlook of ur hd........

I agree. The stock rom is a piece of Sh*t. After swapping to a custom ROM, you'll never look back. Don't be disheartened if you get one with glitches. Just keep trying different ones until you are happy with one.
The first couple of times it may seem slow and cumbersom changing ROM's but after a while you realise how easy it really is. Just remember to backup important data first.
Good luck
seriouslly even if i use a latest stock rom?
i just dont understand why can folks like us make a better rom than htc themselves ..

Haha you're a senior member here but you don't get it. Custom roms on XDA is the reason why I choose HTC and windows mobile. I used to hate windows mobile alot, but once I found out about its portability, customizing my phone has been my hobby. Thanks to XDA, the crappy old hermes I had made my friends jealous.
On why folks like these guys here can make a better rom than htc, you have to flash one to find out. I once read an article from mircosoft that reads something like this "microsoft cant live with XDA-devs, but at the same time, can't live without them".
Try one but make sure u follow the steps especially the Olinex part. Good luck

I own WinMo devices since HTC Wallaby. I am not very long with HD, just recently bought it.
My Opinion WinMo is like Windows on your desktop, after while it gets slower and slower and Reformat (hard reset) is the best thing to do to bring it back.
I also would suggest you to use one of the cooked ROMs here. Again my Opinion W6.5 is eye candy and my own experience is that is not that Stable, and fast as WinMo 6.1 ROMs. Furthermore I really don’t see jet the major usability improvement in 6.5
I am business user and I need a very stable Device. I flashed with this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537948 very happy with it
hahaha good one bout me being senior..
yes i know .. i just dont understand why the companies themselves dont strive to make the best one lol
and for the rom..
yes buddy i used the same as u ...3.55 but how do i get the usual start menu back..
Again most 6.5 roms are very stable now and are ready for everyday use, if you are after a fast rom that is similar to your default rom, try Topix 2.9.2, it is currently the fastest ROM running 6.1 according to speed tests = Search the forums for performance tests.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/touch-hd/best-rom-for-htc-touch-hd.html
You will be more than happy flashing the latest 6.5 roms, just make sure you don't get any manila 2.5/2.6 roms as people have previously expressed they are still not as stable as the 2.1 roms.
Research, read and flash which rom you feels best suits your needs, or looks the nbest etc. In the end not everyone has same tastes, so you may find that you flash a few roms before settling on one you really like. By then you will probably have become a flashaholic like everyone else. Either way you'll have a better phone.

Hi Guys,
I have a G1, got it from the States on eBay when they 1st come out. It was unlocked and had Cyan on it.
I have been doing updates all along and it just seems to be getting slower and slower and slower, kind of like a computer over time.
I neve installed Apps to SD or what ever it is called. I did install Taskiller but it always shows like 25 to 27 free ... so why is it so slow and what can I do to speed it up?
Thanks
Mike
Probably degrading.
Three things that should get you back to optimal speed:
1. Clear ALL caches. Do it manually through app manager in settings or get one of the apps that does it (I recommend CacheMate).
2. Clear your Dalvik Cache.
3. If those two don't help, it may be time to wipe fully and start with a fresh install of the ROM.
What is the Dalvik Cache?
just do a fresh wipe and re-install everything
Automatic task killer did it for me, and getting rid of all but one widget on my homescreen. Also I flashed from cyan to super D. It's great!
Hi Guys ...
1) How do I do a wipe?
2) Is there faster roms then Cyan?
3) Can I get just a stock 1.6 Rom?
Thanks

I respect the amount of work he puts into trying new things.. but that doesn't mean I'd actually want to use his releases on my phone. No need to insult the man, either way.
P.S you should have really done more research on rooted devices before buying a rooted device, because when you want to flash a new rom you'll have a lot of reading to do...
Thanks for all of the help guys ...
As for the last post ... I got the phone becuase I liked it, not becuase I wanted a rooted device. I wanted a G1 that worked in Canada as we did not have them at the time. What came from eBay was what it was and I have made it work, it has just got slower in the 2 years I had it.
I have installed the stock ROM from HTC and everything is back to they way it was, nice and quick! ... Thanks to the members who helped.

I'm not sure how fair of a statement about Cyan you made. My wife is running a Cyan ROM and it's very fast. I'm running OpenEclair 1.2.2 and while I love it, it's not nearly as fast has her Cyan ROM. Also my stock G1 1.6 was getting terribly slow even after rebooting it.

He doesn't need a source, it's fact that we don't (quite) have GL drivers running for Eclair yet, so it's wasting a bucketload of CPU power drawing everything in software. I'm not quite so sure how much RAM it wastes and how much is overheads from the rest of the Eclair system though.. I'm reserving judgement until I see hardware GL running. I understand OE 1.3 has the hardware drivers and is in testing now, so we'll know soon enough.

I already knew that, excep the part about OpenEclair including hardware drivers. Again, what is the source of OpenEclair 1.3 fixing these issues?
I don't know the full details but compatible drivers have been released for the hero or one of those similar phones and are in the hands of the relevant people.. OE devs have stated that 1.3 will include the drivers. I can't be bothered to find the post where it was said but it's here somewhere.

I've done a hard reset, reinstalled all apps to SD, tweaked the registry, overclocked etc and it's almost unusable. like, really unusable. Can summun help me? I'll reward them with a long-lasting forced friendship.
That's not a good ROM to run a 64MB device, it will use too much memory and slow down your device. It's one of the most recent releases, but apart from a few bugs will only run really well if you have a 128MB device.
I would suggest you read about some of the other ROMs that have been cooked and go for one of them. There's no 'best' ROM, although eveyone may have their preference. Try Tomal 9 or Thingonaspring, which I think are both WM6.1 - which runs much better on a 64MB Uni.

Agreed. The ROM was released as a showcase, rather than a working every-day ROM. I have 128Mb device and decided to stick with one of the earlier ROMs. Just flash to something more stable and suitable for 64Mb and you'll be sweet. Some ROMs are faster than others, some will be packed better, some will be clean - so it will depend on your requirements.

Hi,
I have done a search but not really come up with what I was looking for.
My friend flashed his phone with one of the latest Energy GTX Themed Roms. I'm thinking of doing the same, but wondered if someone might be able to help me with several concerns I have.
Firstly, his battery now seems to drain a fair bit faster than it used to, and I'm told that might be related to the Radio. Does anyone have any experience on what might be a good .50 radio (I've heard .51's can crash the phone) that may have better battery life?
Secondly, I notice that the Rom has quite a lot of additional programs, which appear to be fully integrated into the Rom, programs such as Palringo, etc. I've gone to add/remove programs, but there is nothing in there. Just one program called 'unknown1'. There are quite a lot of programs I really wouldn't want taking up space on there, so this is one of my concerns.
On the flip side, am I able to install pretty much any program that I would on my current Stock rom'd phone? I download quite a lot from Marketplace, Omarket, etc and wondered if I had to be careful with a cooked Rom in case of compatibility issues.
Finally, one of the biggest 'plus' points I've noticed on his new Rom, is on the Email tab. It appears that he can reply and delete emails without actually having to open them. Is there anyway to get this function on my stock rom?
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

I am told your battery will drain faster using an EngeryROM, they are all bells and whistles, I have never flashed anything but an EnergyROM so I can't say any different. And flashing an EnergyROM without first changing your radio to a 2.xx.50.xx will brick your phone, so you must, must change the radio first.

Do what I do, go into Device/Programs and just delete them forcefully, then go to Device/Windows/StartMenu and delete the links for them from the start menu.

Your stock ROM is more unstable than a cooked ROM, so you can install whatever you like on the cooked one.

And flashing an EnergyROM without first changing your radio to a 2.xx.50.xx will brick your phone, so you must, must change the radio first.
Do what I do, go into Device/Programs and just delete them forcefully, then go to Device/Windows/StartMenu and delete the links for them from the start menu.
Your stock ROM is more unstable than a cooked ROM, so you can install whatever you like on the cooked one.
I Believe it's a windows 6.5.x perk, I could well be wrong.

Ah okay, well thank you for the feedback and info on all of this.
Think I'll keep my eye out for any other Radios that might be compatible and offer better battery life, is such a one exists!
Shame about the reply/delete option without going into emails, that would have been really handy for me!

It only has 1.7 because 1.8 and 1.8.x are buggy I should think. So I wouldn't recommend upgrading until NRG has sorted the bugs out.

I've heard quite a lot about 1.8.5 being quite buggy, but have been using 1.8 for a little while on my existing rom without any issues. Although right now I'd be happy to stick with CHT 1.7 if it meant I could have my reply and delete buttons on the email previews lol

I don't mean buggy per se, I just mean buggy with the GTX ROM, which is why it's the only NRG ROM with CHT that isn't on 1.8.5.

I have no idea. Try looking in the GTX Theme thread, and searching though NRG's EngergyROM thread.
