Is my rom old? update needed? - HD2 General

Hi guys i just bought an HD2 about two or three days ago and ive been noticing some sense lag here and there for example sometimes if i go back to home suddenly it takes some time for the weather animation to show up. and the whole phone can lag sometimes when the clock flips. is this normal?
and for my main question im running the 1.66 rom w/ manila version 2.5..would it be wise to upgrade ? what improvements have been made?.. im speaking of getting stock shipped roms only no cooked ones.
thanks.

Getting slower and slower..

Hi All..
How come that my Blackstone is getting slower and slower, anyone have the same issue?
This isn't a fix, but try taking out the sd card and see if it goes faster again?
When I first got my HD, I was blown away by the fast speed. Everything on TF3D was instant with no lag whatsoever. Could not remember any freeze.
However, as I flashed different ROMs, I started experiencing momentary lags and more frequent freeze reported by some users. This includes cooked ROMs.
Today, I decided to go back to the ROM that came with the shipment 1.14.405.3, and am pleased that it is back to the same fast speed once again. Have not got any freeze for the whole day.
I was expecting device ID change for TomTom but luckily it stayed the same moving from one stock ROM 1.19 (Hong Kong version I think) to another stock ROM 1.14.405.3.
A friend of mine had a unit delivered with another version of stock ROM and when I helped him customise his phone, I noted frequent lags and freezing too. This went away with 1.14.405.3 (Not the Orange version, but the Standard European version).

New 1.66 Rom Feedback???

Hey guys, ive been away from the forums for a few days and I just realised that HTC have realesed a new 1.66 europe rom.
I just wanted to ask you guys how this rom is and if it is worth the upgrade? Are there any fixes/changes that you guys have noticed with this new rom?
I haven't had too much time to play around with it but the few things I've noticed are:
- the locking issue with 1.48 seems to be resolved
- the touchscreen seems less responsive
- a really annoying startup song has been added to the boot sequence (from memory there's a fix for this in the longer upgrade thread).
I can't say whether it seems any better at this point but I don't think it's any worse
Check out this thread mate...

It started with the SEA one, but once the EU ones started appearing they were all discussed in there.
cheers guys, ill read through this

My issues with 1.66 (stock)

Hi all,
Last night I flashed to the official Vodafone 1.66 ROM. Here's a few problems I've noticed:
1. I have no volume icon on the top bar, just a black gap where it should be???
2. When texting I'm getting loads of key presses being registered that I'm not actually doing.
3. In contacts, the facebook intergration isn't as good as with 1.43. For example it refuses to download my profile picture, I appear as a grey/white head in all my text threads
4. Mt text alert tone is cutting off mid flow, or just going really jerky
Any solutions to these issues? Or can anyone recommend a cooked ROM that is fairly close to the stock ROM, but with the imperfections ironed out?
Hmmm, sorry can't help with your question, but I'ver been trying hard to pretend that my HD2 that was working ok on 1.43 is now not playing up on 1.66 (but it is).
I too have the Facebook issue. Initially, it picked up a facebook profile pic for a mate no problem but then it kept dropping it. Tonight it took ages to force it to pick it up again. And Opera seems much slower, Email updates seem slower and less reliable. I'm hoping it's just teething troubles and that once I've finished the reg tweaks I used before it'll settle down. Ho hum...

Getting rid of Home on Lock function

Hi, i want to make it so Manila stops going to home and taking focus everytime i lock/turn off the screen.
Iv been told this is supposed to be normal but it is annoying the living crap out of me, is there any way to mod this out of my Manila install ?
No one has a clue ?
Basically when you are in a tab in HTC sense "manila" when you lock then unlock your back on home tab and if your in another app like say Opera and the phone locks then you unlock it your back at manila home tab.
this is driving me mad becoz through the day il randomly come back and forth between the phone and the computer and its difficult to resume where i was up to on the phone having to constantly switch back to the tab or app im in.
Artemis ROM apparently has what i want but right now im enjoying Omega rom... but if i cant resolve this with Omega im going to haveto loose the fancy rom
This is the first time iv had a phone that auto-homes like this.... its batty !!!
This is annoying the hell out of me too. I cant believe more people are complaining about this.
I can no longer afford for my phone to go to standby when in SMS particularly because when i wake from standby it takes me Home and i loose what ive writen. similar anoyance for internet, email etc...
I have search forum after forum, posted on EnergyROM last week, and even tweeted on NRGZ28 but no response.
Just about to flash back to an older ROM when this anoyance didnt happen.
PS imsure its to do with the OBOE build or similar. I bet that phone has a separate end and power key where on the HD2, these 2 keys are combined.
Must be a reg hack?
you wont neex to do that the artemis rom fixes this issue. itd be nice to know how so we can apply the patch to other roms aswell
second that. patch needed
got some releif... if you press the windows key then lock via the padlock screen icon it.won't.go home.
so the issue is the hangup function homes but you haveto press it to lock and screen off your phone.
clearly some of the roms aren't for this model of the phone that has one key for lock and hangup. the chefs should specify this.
still does it on the latest energyrom 4th september with 24631 build.
flashing back to an earlier rom to overcome this anoying jump to home on wake from standby.
blessed is he who solves this problem.
i installed S2U2 and that has the option unlock to last screen. So no manila home, just come back to where you came from.
Well, i flashed up to the latest energy rom from the 23138 and it still happens.
S2U2 did not work either. theres a couple of posts on that thread about the bug.
I reckon it must be to do with Manila 2018 because anything prior to this and it does not do it.
Is eveybody getting this problems...with other ROMS etc.
i dont have this problem since i bought the phone
this seems to be confirmed as a problem native to the lastest Manila build 2018.

HD2freezung issue

I have noticed my hd2 freeze after playing videos for 5 to 15 minutes. It just freezes with the screen of the video. I should do soft reset, and sometimes not only one softreset. This issue also happens during play games or use navigation - iGo.
I tried different ROMs - no change. Now I am with stock 1.66 with SPL - freeze again during play. I tried different battery - no change.
Got hardware problem?
freezing issues
I`ve been driven mental by freezing issues on my o2 branded HD2 since about 2 days after i got it in May.
I`m a complete newbie at all this but yesterday I read through about 300 pages on different forums (xda dev being by far the best) and flashed HSPL to my phone, then installed 3.14 stock rom from this site, and it`s like day and night, the phone runs very fast, no freezing and no bloody dialing numbers whenever it feels like it!!
Very many thanks to all the guys on here for the work that they do, now really happy with the phone again!
freezing issues
just noticed that you are in Varna, I`m in Burgas, running a Vivacom sim in the HD2 now
Nice
But no change with stock rom, cooked rom, spl, hspl, still freeze while i test it with video playback.
