Hi
Have a profhet G4, but i have now tried EVO8, Transfomer 1.0/1.1, Touch IX and Crystal V4.
They all run to slow even with xcpuscalar, and battery time is not good enough for my daily use. (Not using Wi-FI)
So should i try to go back on a WM5 rom ?, or has anyone good experiences with a WM6 rom? Maybe i should try with a clean WM6 rom? (link?)
thanks.

If Crystal V4 (Personal Edition) is not fast enough for you, I think you should cook your own ROM, 'cause that's all that left. If you do find a Faster ROM, I'd love to hear about it.
all now available wm6 rom is slower than wm5

Is it? All this while I thought WM6 (pure ones without TouchFlo and other fancy add-on) should run faster. I don't know cause used WM5 (think it was a very old release) for like 1 day plus then upgraded already.
Just open the Windows folder or settings in an WM5 Rom after you used WM6 and you will see which one runs faster.....you should also compare booting times! oO
In fact: Nearly any WM6 rom is faster than the WM5 ones...try it and you will see!

digifan, if you say that WM6 is slower than WM5... then you have no experience in WM6...

I agree with you. If more speed is needed , there is always battery plugin
Finally, at some point you're facing the hardware limit...

@digifan
BTW, if you feel that WM5 is faster than WM& why the hell are you interested to upgrade. Stay as it is, man

I think too.
Well I'm happy that you found Crystal V4 fast. Recently there has been some development in ROM cooking world and consequently the crystal V5 will be even more stable and fast ! Crystal V5 will be a clean ROM with VOIP. The free storage memory will be somewhere around : 46 Mg .
This rom will be released in two to three weeks
good

I totally agree with you. I was almost abandon my Pocket pC before WM6 make my day again.
In era WM5 I totally refused to reboot due to slow booting time. WM6 safe a day.
Good luck!
i think you can enjoy htc photo album gestures and cube and other gr8 interfaces which wm6 has offered rather than think of speed ,you see there is a difference between a vintage glider(wm5) and a boeing 747 (wm6)and a f-16 fighter aircraft and a chopper , all have their own specific usage advantages and disadvantages ,no one of them will provide you everything at one place. you cant take a ferrari on country rally and if a country rally car comes to ferrari race it won't win .they have their own routes to go into.
WOW!!! hma4, 46MB wud b a treat!! I simply luv the freedom a clean ROM gives
46 MB.. It is really good... As I said before, you are one of the greatest....
serious speed issue
Guys,
I do have a Prophet as well as a Tornado. They seem to be identical in terms of hardware, but the even with the default WM5 roms the Tornado is way faster (windows folder opens in 2-3 seconds while the Prophet takes a well 6-7 seconds).
If you add special features to the Prophet, such as HTC Home, and a couple of other gimmicks, then it can be painfully slow (even with my cpu o/c at 273MHz). I did a hard reset to mine a couple of weeks ago and now I need over 20 seconds to open windows folder. I don't know if it is the rom to blame (I am currently using a PDAViet ver 4.0.0.0WWE) but we have to do something about it! Even the phone features are getting slow
Does everybody confirm that Crystal V4 is the fastest rom around? I have also in mind a TNT Greek rom (since I am Greek). Is that any good in terms of speed?

Vote for the best Rom's,
P.S. i respect both developers but i still like one of them more the other it's time for us to share our opinions and help the Flash o'holics persons to choose while am sure no one will stop flashing both for trials
respAct for this thread, I like !
im currently using PDAMobiz b4 cuz of the touchFLO.
If PDAViet integrates this in its next rom, i would definitely change,
I was pdaviet .4s and now fantastic mobiz 2b user... i like much more the second, but the first was more user friendly...
now i'm waiting for 4.0.0.0.5 touch..
I only tried PDAViet roms, but I can only say they are great, almost even better that official roms.

It must be the next stage for PDAVIET ROM. Touch on Prophet, be waiting for that news
pdamobiz b4
yesh!!!! never seee touchhhhhhh
I am using viet 4.0.0.0.5, because its very fast through Mobiz.
Mobiz isnt stable and robust yet.. thouchflo is unusuable now..
I've tested both of the ROM and even if the touch one is really nice, it's very slow with a Prohpet G4 (195Mhz) for the moment so I will say.... PDAViet for me
see you, Bap
I would perhaps wait n test the pDAVIET 4.0.0.5 Touch n then write my views would be more just.........
I prefer PDAViet's ROM
I respect both but personnaly PDAViet's 4.0.0.5a ROM is the most stable and smoothest one I've ever tried. Thanks Cloudyfa from Vietnam for your great work.
i have used PDAVIET Roms for a long time and i think it is the best.
Fantastic Mobiz Roms are not fit for my phone and the speed is slow.
but thanks all their effort.
The bluetooth audio quality of PDAmobiz is fantastic (though sometime have activation problem), I am using b4.
thanks everyone on your thoughts, for me am running PDAViet 4.0.0.4SSE version it's too stable and has a long battery life time that lasts for 3 days.
more over i used the dynamic OMAP dynamic CPU scaler option that varies the CPU from 69 upto 247MHZ also reduces battery drain most of the unused times to less than 30 mA.
plus the sound is very clear when making calls, or using skype, the sync is very fast, file browsing is also very fast than all the rom's i've used before.
of course i would love to have the feel of the touch flo, but when using the fantastic mobiz touch version i found that it was useless @ least for me cause i open many other programs and after all the touch menu's are just short cuts for the speed dials and programs, using resco file explorer today plugin may do the same but still HTC interface is the Best.
but if it slows my PDA then i dont want it.
so thanks Fanstic Mobiz Team and PDAViet Team really deserve a night with britney spears
I use b4 rom and I like it cause look like touch
I know it to Slow but I think a litiebit for me

OK! Room of PDAViet is very fast.
I tried hard to keep up with wm6, tried hard , all possible tweaks.So finally the other day, I thought of going back to WM5 and really it is much much stable, no soft resets, no hangups.Hard to get used to the wm5 interface as compared to the glossy wm6, but performance is what I desire, and now my apps open in seconds, memory leaks are minimal, audio in BT also goes well.
I really wonder, why WM is not fully compatible with Athena.All other devices it works like a charm, why not in Athena.
I think wm6 is quicker and more stable than wm5. I reset more often in the past.
Which wm6 ROM were you running? What applications were you using? It may be one or two applications giving you the problem.
Not much apps, I like to stick with the given apps.Use Windows Live, builtin Opera, sometimes may b NetFront, I do not play games, Skype, I use.That's it.
If u compare the speed of execution of these programms with other devices running wm6 such as Universal,Hermes, Kaiser, Blue Angel, and if we have the fastest processor 624 Mhz, it shd surpass the programe execution time.
WM6 I hv observed that, initially, it works well, but as the use goes on , it tends to slow down, and even it takes a lot of time to make a phone call, after I press "Talk".
I get 150 calls a day on an average fews Texts, few emails, 24 hrs connected to GPRS or Wi Fi whichever is available.
It is a suprise that Blue Angel reacts faster than athena to similar apps, and execution is very good and fast in devices like Hermes,Kaiser, Universal....all Running WM6, either official or cooked ones.
I really fail to understand, why such a thing with Athena.
Where do you install applications?
What does the sktools performance benchmark tells you about your card and MD.
How did you format your drives?
Do you regularly clear up the cache in opera?
How large is your contact database?
Sorry this seems like a so many questions, but there must be a cause of your problem which is not related to wm6. I say that because I've far far more applications than you, all running okay. I do avoid certain applications. Examples include the latest version of ilauncher.
No problems to me with your questions.Once I had decided to us a Virgin wm6..as it is, no apps, still the problem persists.You won't believe, but I wud have changed 5 Athenas so far..but the problem with the speed persists.
My contatcs data base is quite small, opera cache is by dafault is 2 mb, so it gets cleared whatever is more than 2 MB.
If same I use in the other devices as mentioned, I do not face any problems, so far BA and Univeresal has been the best performances, Hermes and Kaiser follow...and Athena is my primary phone, I do not use any other or second phone.

Then I guess it must be a question of expectation.
I've just looked up. BA is using WM2003, isn't it? Well, that explains why it is so fast. I have a very old WM2003 device that feels like a speed demon too. That brings us back to the old debate of whether or not microsoft made the right move by going int persistent memory, which if I ask me now, I'd still prefer the old approach.
Your Universal has been soldered with additional memory, has'nt it? Do you think this is the reason why it is so fast?
If you've used so many units of Athena and found speed problem with every one of them, when nothing has been loaded yet, it probably means you're expecting WM2003 speed on a WM5/WM6 machine. I'm doubtful that going back to WM5 will solve your problem, because from my experience, WM6 does seem faster.
Not sure where this leaves you and not sure how else to help though.
Hi,
I know that and understand your motive and respect that.If u check carefully, BA can b updated to wm6 aku 7.7
Also I hv uni with 128 ram, but 64 also runs quite well.
Can u imagine I am replying to this thread from Opera Running WM 5
Crispy and fast enough..and I feel the differrence.
Anyway I will try oncemore and report back
I still havent found a WM6 device that can surpass the BA in raw speed (also with WM6)
uni gets quite close tho!

In your expert opinion, why is this so? What is special about BA that makes it fly? Does the faster speed also apply to internet surfing too?
3rd day with WM5
-Only one soft reset
-Memory lowers to 70 Mb from 81 MB,use SK tools and rever it again.
-pmsn works great and fster.Skype is also more responsive.
-I think we all here shd give it a try and also research why this is so.Really WM5 wins as far as Athena is concerned.
Guru Try Dopod
hi GURU try dopod wm6
or try aptouch dual Virgin
Hi,
i've just buyed en M600/S200/Prophet on Ebay. It has an WM5 version on it.
I would like to pass it in WM6. I've read the Guides (hard spl + updaterom) but now i don't know which version is the best. I would like for my rom :
- speed
- reliable wifi : SIP
- reliable bluetooth (tomtom)
I'm not so fan for the 3D Touch thing if it slows it down.
So which one are you using ? Is there a poll somewhere ? Any advices ?
Is there anything else I should update
ROM : 2.10.1.30FRE
Date : 2/9/06
Radio : 02.70.20
Protocole : 413.1.03
Rom ext : 2.10.1.111
Version d'opératuer : 13.10.2.111
Thanks
I use Prophet Shadow Vista My Edition. I think it is very fast and I like the Style. TomTom starts in 20s.
If you want a clear rom, use Korand 3.1. This is the basis for a lot of roms.
Check it out...
HaRdy
I have tried many Roms by all the great chefs
It is personal taste, it you want a clean or full flavoured. I prefer full kind myself as the speed difference is not too apparent. Im using varanusvincents diamond 2, its fast, pretty stable and as far as i can tell, bug free. check it out.
Hard SPL and try a few, but be warned, trying and playing is addictive Ha Ha.
Have Fun...
The best advice I think would be to try a few ROMs out, and see which you like best.
VaranusVincent and Dioxda2 are always making new ROMs!
There are some ROM benchmarks here and in the thread referenced.
Thanks for yours answers.
I've installed the Diamond Clean version and it looks OK
Thanks to all developpers who invest themselves !
Another question : is there en optimum speed to overclock the Prophet ? I saw that you overclocked it to 286. The battery doesn't drain off to quickly ?
UPDATE: many themes for pointui 2.0 released:
check out http://community.pointui.com/topic/theme-vizta-v10-1
very pretty...can we have a rom with this burned in ankit...its MUCH faster than touchflo!
Hi...
new version of PointUI released today...
Looks VERY exciting and pretty...am going to try it tonight on my gene 3400i with sumit's manillavanilla ROM after disabling touchflo on it...
My earlier experience with pointui ver 1.51a was QUITE good apart from some stability issues...
This one must be better...and faster than other UIs.
Shall post details once i have it on my system!

Hey thanks for the info buddy. Tried it. First 15 minutes impression:
- Display like a today plugin is good as it allows one to use the tradional start menu too.
- Animations are cool but a bit sluggish on gene.
- Memory usage is almost double the TouchFlo's :O it hogs 8091 KB of memory, touchflo's manilla 2D shows around 4500 KB.
- Not as responsive as Previous Version or as TouchFLO.
-Slideshow didn't worked at first go, had to configure it twice to get it to work.
-No start menu icon created. Will check if it works as a today plugin or something.
So overall impressive piece of work, but requires a bit of tweaking from the developer's side.
Checked it after removing M2D from Sumit's MVUltimate ROM, honestly didn't impress me much. If anyday i will switch to eye candy with this device, I will definitely part with M2D at least as things stand now . I believe it has miles to go before it can come into compettition.
surely it isnt a fraction as pretty as m2d...maybe we'll have to wai for the ver 3.0
it might be much faster however if burned into the romi feel!
what say ankit?

Cooked it into a ROM derived from MVUltimate by Sumit (krazy), Not much impressed though. Got it to work. speed is ofcourse improved, if you want, I will post a link from where you can download and check in your Gene (BTW I am not an experienced cooker, so don't blame me if your Gene is bricked, Hey it worked for me ).
hi...
great work...
i tried it on ankits rom...and well speed is PRETTY good...but eye candy is anadequate...and honestly, the speed and stability of ankits 6.5 vs rom has me hooked and im not changing my rom till ankit releases a newer version!
...but great work mate!

I hope this the right place for that question / poll ...
What is the best "working" rom at that moment (may 2010)?
Not the best looking rom but the rom with best performance and fewest problems.

You get all the stability of the official rom, but all of the unnecessary rubbish is gone.
I have tried a few of the cooked roms now, but find that none are as good for GPS (using GPSModDriver) and no ActiveSync problems, unlike all the others I have tried.
I use Mobile Shell 3.5.4 and Phone Suite 1.2 (I don't like the current version) The beauty of Phone Suite is that it allows me to have the phone power down at night and start automatically in the morning. A real bonus for battery life.
i've had the novembre5 clean Rom 3 running for a few weeks, and it`s solid.
Huge performance increase and zero crashes or lockups

i think, the best rom is the official one. i have tried all custom build roms and each of them has some issues. i noticed some problems with graphics in different programs, problems with gps, sound and even if u have 90 mb of ram after restart, you are usually at 50-60 after while anyway and that is same amountof memory as the original one has. i have to say those guys made good job to produce those roms, but i still think the official rom is the most stable one there. i use spb3.5 so i don`t care about bigger buttons so much.
or
i just installed FFBOY`S 6.1 rom and i must admit it looks great, fast, plenty of memory, i didn`t notice any bugs. i`m gonna test it for a while and maybe this one will be my favourite..;-)

under settings/ personal is ordinarily menu INPUT available. but in your ROM
is this empty. I have corrected this: HKLM\ControlPanel\Input\Restrict
deleted Restrict. After reset is under settings/ personal menu INPUT available.
FFBOYS 6.1 is the best very clean fast stable
FFBOYS beta 2 if you want with manila sense.. very stable too
Novembre5 if you want clean 6.5
Malaysian rom for standard Toshiba rom.. very good gps.
