Theme installation question - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Had my 'old' Compact IV ROM updated by T_Mobile service and runs bit quickly than originally! However I wonder if I try any new themes (such as ones from here like HTC Black)
they run pretty slowly... sometimes with several sec delays. Is there some way around this?
Im using the TF3D tool everyone seems to use to install them...
Appreciate help, thanks!
(Bored with the t-mobile theme - but it runs quick now!)
J

need help, pls
anyone? is there a way to make the new themes run quicker? my t-mobile standard one is pretty quick, but want same from any new ones i install from here... thanks

Just flash a new ROM, branded roms usually suck. When I used vodaphone branded rom it was slow as well, but when I flashed a new one, everything worked much better

again...
The prob is not the ROM. As I said the ROM i have now is good. Its not slow. The questions is about installing new themes - they run slowly for some reason.
Is there Anyone p l e a s e, who could help??!

ANyone?
I tried couple new themes from here.. but they all run slowly n my Compact IV. The t-mobile original I have runs pretty quckly. Please someone explain why? Any way to improve the speed of themes Im installing?

i found that installing full tf3d themes using the program you are on about takes up massive amounts of memory therefore making the device run slower. try manilla customizer and download the bits you like, takes up less memory that way

Upgrade Rom or not

Hi there,
im currently running the O2 WWE 1.5.4.2. Is there a newer rom than this by O2 and if so do you think its worth the upgrade. If there is not a newer one, what would you recommend, if any, to upgrade to?
I'm still using the shipped O2 ROM on my Mini S and I don't have any complaints yet (as of a months use so far). I used personal mode and turned off the O2 UI rubbish (remove from startup folder) and I have made use of some of the various tweaks you'll be able to find in these forums.
I got Tomtom running eventually but it did take a lot of fiddling! Other apps seem to install without a problem though.
In short, I'd stick with it and apply some tweaks like the program cache, cleartype for landscape, enable .11g etc. Someone has bundled them all into a cab file in another thread here that's always near the top. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Gadget
ROM upgrades have still a long way to go ... still much tweakings and bugfixes. My adwise is only to upgrade if your device really starts to behave buggy.
When there comes out a real stable ROM ... then you can do a ROM upgrade.
only .. my opinions ..

Which Rom is the best?

Ok guys - since my Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 rom has a few bugs (like the volume-control slider not working), I decided to reinstall a new rom. Ive seen already tons of threads including thousands of posts so it`s difficult to find out which rom is the best.
I heard of Faria released a cooked WM6-Rom but I m not sure if it`s working fine with the wizard and if there are still some bugs. In addition to that i don`t know if there are any incompatabilites with WM5 applications.
I`ve also seen a WM5 Rom tons auf WM5 Roms - but which one is working realy fine?
Oh forgot that: I`ve a G4 Device but it`s already CID unlocked.
LOL!!!!!!!
I haven't tried them all but Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 has been working great for me.
A couple of people, myself included had a problem where the built in phone dialer disappeared, but I fixed that by installing the Iphone dialer (can be found here by searching).
First Post.....
Yes, I as my post count would suggest I am new to flashing roms and setting up 3rd party softwares on my Wizard but I must say after hanging out on this forum for a couple of weeks I now feel somewhat like a veteran.
I first flashed with crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 I liked it and didn't notice any major problems at all.
But I was so impressed by XDA Mobile 6 that i had to try it and must say after about a week using it (since it was released) I'm much more impressed, wizard seems faster, i love the interface and the post offers great insight into problems and finding what configurations work for everyone.
I would suggest you try a few roms till you find what suits you best, here is the link to XDA Mobile 6

ok guys first i've installed core 2.0 what seems to work fine but, well u know, it's like a clean vanilla rom - too clean for me. So next i wanted Titanium but it's not released yet. After looking over the programs Faria delivers with his rom, i've decided not to have this much software and installed XDA Mobile 6. Seems to work fine and it looks nice.
Just one more question: where the heck is some difference to WM5? I mean everything looks like the same in WM6. Well ok, there is maybe a new skin, and some new tones, but in the end, i've could also use WM5 with wisbar and the Vista Skin.
For me it seems to be the same sh** like Windows XP and Vista - no real changes at all.
There's a page somewhere on Microsoft.com that details all of the new features in wm6 (Im sure if you do a google search for wm6 review you will find it). The most important one in my opinion is the ability to display HTML with in emails.

UK O2 ROM - How many people switched to a cooked one?

Guys, just wondering, I can't find anything conclusive over how many people have actually moved away from the UK O2 ROM to a cooked one. Can anyone who has made the jump tell me if there was a noticeable difference and what ROM you used. Also, were they functional for everyday use?
I will be moving to a cooked ROM later, but for the time being I have gone from the o2 rom to the HTC one on the FTP.
I'm happier with it. All the HTC stuff that o2 seem to uninstall (because they are losers) is there without any need to install it all yourself.
I can't see any reason to change as yet unless there is a good cooked rom a la meschle's Touch 4.0.
Likewise, I'll be moving to a cooked rom, but am waiting for someone to make the leap first!
Any reports (successful or otherwise) will be great!
Hey guys
I've been running Bepe's 6.1 preview for the last week. To be honest, the only improvement is the threaded messaging.
I found the o2 rom quite good, but if there's something to flash I'll always give it a go. By the time you've added all your own apps it really doesn't make a huge difference.
App wise I'm running:
Vistahide battery gauge
Samsung time
o2 plus2.3 - with shortcuts & diary enabled
Spb pocket suite
Not that that has anything to do with the rom!?!
Has anyone over here tried upgrading the radio to 1.58.25.14?
Jamie
I'm still on the o2 rom, with:
PocketRAR
ClearTemp
Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool
HTC Home plugin
Home Customizer
WkTask (I really like the battery meeter along the top and the task buttons)
Until a stable WinMo 6.1 rom comes out with everything I'll stick with the o2 rom.
Why they removed the HTC home I'll never know

Me, but have not noticed any difference.
I think we should start a campaign to get meschle to defect to polaris. I have already donated to towards this campaign. We would need to set up a new thread and link it to the artemis wm6 thread.
The biggest problem with the O2 ROM is that tweaks don't work. You can change a registry value and after a soft-reset it will go back to the original value. Annoying!
That's why I use that tweaking tool, it actually sets the values. Although it's not as exansive as a registry
i'm in the US using a UK Orbit 2 and i've been running the .53 version of bepe's WM 6.1 ROM. aside from the improved responsiveness and threaded messaging, you start out with 140MB of available storage and 69MB of available RAM. with all my programs loaded, i have 85 MB available, which is important to me. with the stock ROM, i started off with 89MB available before loading my standard set of apps. i've held off using newer versions because i'm happy with what i have and how it's working so far.

What tweaking tool? The Kaiser one? I thought that messed peoples device up.
Don't see why I would want to flash for the time being.
To me, flashing a rom is so that I don't need to spend so much time configuring the device (because everything is pre-configured in cooked roms). And as there ain't many changes to the current cooked roms, it is quicker to configure the device than to mess with flashing.

You'll never find the best ROM suited to your specific taste unless you try 'em all. Me? i'm totally sold out with Panosha's Butterfly ROM but at the moment am testing Bepe's v0.56 Full, and so far, liking it too! Cooked ROM's are always way faster and more responsive than the shipped one's.

Unbranding T-Mobile MDA Compact IV

Would like to get rid of the pink T-Mobile branded TouchFLO interface. What's the easiest way? I'd avoid flashing a cooked ROM, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Check out that thread. Has a cab with the black manilla theme. Or you could choose one of the many .cab based themes that are around!
i really do recommend you just flash a new ROM instead of installing a new manilla. the T-Mobile ROM is so horribly slow you'll be amazed how much faster the 1.93 roms are!

I have to say that he´s 1000% right. I have also Vario IV and thought that no need to flash, only changed the Theme. After 2 Weeks me was boring and I tried the Romeos 1.4.1 Rom .... Fantastik how much ist the difference ....

All you have to do if you want to get rid of the touchFlo interface and not install a new rom is to get TF3D Config and download some themes for it and you will have a new interface look and no flashing of your rom.
TF3D Config v0.6.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Themes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV as well and now am using the original black Touch Diamond Theme interface.
If in the future, you decide to go back to the original T-Moble interface, you can do so using TF3D Config.
Hope this helps.
p.s. If you need any help just pm me.

flashing rom Vs installing cab files

Whats the advantages of cooking TF3D onto our rom rahter than installing it via cab fileS. My x1i was getting multiple panel faults and crashes and freezes with my installs done via cab files. I took it back to O2 for a new phone as it was only a few days old, I like tf3d so want it on my new x1i was just wondering does it operate faster when flashed, are there less hangs etc etc.
Ive never seen it work on a touch Hd so dont know how fast its meant to be

Yes it works better when fully integrated into the operating system ROM from a kitchen
Desperately need TF3D ??
My 2 cents would be: go for a cooked ROM and add the "TF3D as a Panel" cab
I recently found a "free" version of spb 2, im quite keen on this at the moment so ill hive the cooking a miss for time being. When i do go back to tf3d i will use a kitchen.
On a seperate note is there any way to make x1i louder ring is very quiet?
i recommend flashing a super lite rom, which takes out all the nonsense crap u don't use and takes up space.. then install the panels, then install TF3D...
Darans TFeD is the only one which hasn't given me a single freeze or lock up in combination with panels
