Slow folder browsing - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hello to all! (this is my first post on this forum )
I own a Nike100 for about a week now, played around with it and flashed a few ROM's (I must say I am really pleased Tom's latest ROM, thank you Tom!).
In general I am very pleased with this device. There is just one thing that really makes me wonder: why is the file system performance on the Nike so mediocre? I notice this when listing folder contents using a file explorer like Resco or Total Commander.
It takes about 6 seconds to list de \windows folder while on my device. My HTC S710/Vox smartphone used to be slow too, but with the WM6 SP edition ROM and the latest XIP (ROM core) updates it shows the contents of the windows folder in a split of a second. Ofcourse the Vox smartphone has a much slower CPU than the Nike. So why is the Nike so much slower in this respect?

Well, I suppose nobody knows / has the same experience / is interested?

i guess it´s default... at least it´s as slow as you describe for me too. i think you can´t compare with the vox... maybe it just has i smaller windows folder?

Well yes, I was thinking about that too. But the Vox has 1330 files and folders in de windows folder, and the Nike has 2716, that's twice as much. So for me that does not explain why it is <0.5 secs for the Vox vs 6 secs for the Niki.
By the way, it is the same when the explorer in ActiveSync... the Nike is much, much slower than the Vox. With the Niki, when opening the windows folder in ActiveSync, even the PC has a hard time keeping track of the mousecursor...
I think it's weird, especially considering the Niki's CPU power.
I suppose it could be a lot faster with the right kernel(?)

nope. but with a different fs

My phone need 1-2sec to open windows folder (Resco explorer, system files hiden and about 5-8 sec to all files)
I set all caches for maximum, and it works much faster than stock

Exactly: I am talking over 6 seconds with system/hidden files shown in Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
But the new Clean Black ROM that I use now folder browsing seems to be a slightly faster than Tom's 2.1.3 ROM that I used before:
Nike with Tom's Niki Project v2.31 ROM 6.5 seconds, 2716 files
Nike with Clean Black ROM 1378 files 2.5 seconds
Vox (for comparison) < 0.5 seconds, 1330 files
Another thing: Activesync responds well again using Clean Black ROM (with Tom's ROM opening the windows folder in ActiveSync gave my PC a very hard time: 100% CPU, very slow mouse response).

you can try to change the radio version.
after change to Nike Radio 1.58.21.23S, my touch dual seems more responsive that before.

That's the version I am using too!

Ok thanks! Maybe I'll try that one. No adverse effects on battery usage or reception? I thought the 1.58.21.23S modded ROM was best at that.

WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar

Is this (WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar) newer then this
(WM2k5_XDA2_HIMALAYA_O2_FullRAM)
getting confuse.
I have a few question, please advise me.
1. extracted either files, and found that there is no (ms_) and (Radio_)
is this normal ?
2. i saw Radio 1.7.
Do i need to put Radio 1.7 together with NK.nbf and HimaUpgradeUt.
3. As for Protocol
Do i need to grab from the WM2003SE upgrade files?
I have read Wiki, but it did not mention about Radio 1.7 and Protocol
please guide me.

WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar :shock:
to my knowledge g could be newer than f the one in the full ram version, so this potantially could be newer, as for the files ms & radio they have to be in the same folder as NK, regarding the protocol i have no idea what do you mean so please explain further
Basically, i am trying to claify by comparing WM2003SE files.
You see, when you extract WM2003SE, you will see 3 files (MS, NK and radio) right?
And in WM2005, you only see 1 (NK).
So, by my understanding, there is no Radio, and MS(in this case, this is protocol) in WM2005
Does it means that do i need to copy Radio 1.7 FTP: xda:xda and (MS) from WM2003SE into WM2005 folder?
pardon my english.
i see the screenshot for WM2005, and it has the radio 1.7 and protocol 1337.38
this really confusing me
Also reading the upgrading procedure. is just use patch 1, patching the NK files
then use ERedit and change the operator
this leads me that this file is only for OS.
So, as for radio and protocol (here i means , MS and radio), it is copy individual from different files and place it into the folder WM2005(here i mean going to upgrade)
thanks
by the way, this file WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar is only 6.08MB, which is smaller then WM2k5_XDA2_HIMALAYA_O2_FullRAM (23MB)
Huh, I downloaded it and my rar file was 23695Kb, the extracted NK.nbf was 32769Kb.
I need my device at the moment so I dare not risk the upgrade at the moment. If anyone has performed the upgrade please post a line if it was successful.
cheers
hey guys,
there is nothing wrong with it...
i just uploaded it onto ftp. so if you have downloaded something smaller than usual size, you did the download before it was completely uploaded...
And yes, it is the newest version....

Great and awesome work as usual
Just wondering if you can post a changes log or something so we can see any updates / changes you guru's have made
Just one question, in the final steps when we have to hardreset the pocket it's says format storage, it's internal storage or storage card?

just flashed mine & memory is showing 62.00 for Storage and 56.34 for Program. I can live with 118 if this this image stops sucking my battery dry.
Can you list the differences/improvements?
Is the NAND Disk renaming to Sotrage the only change?

I'm still waiting to see an improvement. Even with the slightly newer kernel I still see my battery dropping approx 1% per hour. Maybe that's OK, but with my radio, BT, and IR off I think it should do better than a 25% / day drop. If my radio was on, for 8-12 hours then 25% (maybe 40%) makes sense. I do notice that ActiveSync seems to load itself periodically (which I never saw using WM2K3SE), and I assume my serial port is being energized whenever AS loads. This could account for the power drop, but I'm still observing it. I haven't seen anything I could point to as an improvement.
I was hoping to see an improved video camera and working SMSs... :wink:
Oh well, I'm willing to wait whatever time necessary for better and better releases of BuzzMobile5.0
WoW another version from Buzz.... Buzz can u please whats the diff between the old and the new pls..
i've upgrade my xda with 1.50g, it works just great, with more stability on my device, but still with the minor bug (camera, and record button). i can see the program memory is bigger than the 1.50f, so i can open the 3mb excel file freely. now i can use the wisbar advance 2 without a bug, i think....
gadz, or anybody else with WM5, have you tried Wisbar 2.10.0.29 ? When I tried to run it, it would lock up until I renamed lrgwesex.dll. I'm also experience small graphic hic-ups, is anyone else?

Two questions about Windows Mobile 6 on the prophets

hello,
i have two questions about theses roms here:
1. some roms have the 3d cube from the HTC touch enabled. is this cube loaded into the program memory (ram) all the time or is it only loaded from the rom during the first usage? i don't use it and i don't know if i waste some ram or not.
btw: is it possible to create some .cab files for touchflo and this 3d cube? with that no extra touch roms would be needed and everyone could install them on his neutral windows mobile 6 rom, which flashed on this device.
2. in the past we could unlock the extended rom and use it as a normal storage memory. is there any way in windows mobile 6 to use it like that?

Yes to all questions
1. The cube is loaded one into the memory and stays there
It's possible to make cab files but that will slow donw to os
2. yes you can open the extrom and use it as storrage
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash]
"Folder"="Flash Disk"

"MountHidden"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]

that should open the ext rom
thank you gullum for your reply.
about the cab files: if these additions are loaded into the ram during the boot, whould it still slow down the device on normal running? afaik the rom is as fast as the normal storage memory.

I'm not shure about that but when these extra apps cab around they were all cab files before we got them coock into the roms and our phones got slowed down to their knees

Based on firestarter prophet rom from 4pda.ru
Thanks to Prislav for his work and help
[size=+1]New version available:[/size] Korand WWE 2.1 Clean
OK, waht's inside the ROM? Picture, themes, included programs...
please give some screenshots and some description about everything inside your ROM..
thanks
matthze, varanusvincent - its a clean rom with no modifications or additional programs and themes installed.
The main advantages of this rom are: original XIP, drivers, OEM part and no Extrom (+20 Mb to storage).
All native - no bugs with drivers!
And OS part can be taken from any WM6 ROM. I take OS part from official WM6 update for Artemis (a little old build 17745 - but official and stable) - but can take any other.
Sounds very interesting
Had someone already tried this rom?
Feedbacks?
Looks like a normal WM6 ROM.
I didn't flash it jet. The new Cam software is inside.
Which WM6 Build is this based on? And what is the value of free storage?
This looks interresting.. Iam really considering to try it out..
Anyone got it flashed ?
If it does include the new camera s/w, does it have the same battery drain reported by others?
I'd be interested in a review from anyone who's installed this. I would do it myself but I have no time this week. Thanks for posting it, I don't know why but I expect it will be very good.
thankx man...

Sure, my friend^^" just mention a few noteworthy as below:
@Korand: Many thanks for sharing
Speed: Fleeting
it takes less than a quarter round of the waiting cursor to open the windows folder with 14xx files / omap 264HMz (not as precisely a way to measure the speed, but certainly enough for a quick review^^")
Whether or not the speed lasts after intalling various apps remains more observation
Memory: A LOT
Storage : 57.41M
Program: 24M+ (12PP)
Both available storage memory and program memory are definitely amazing! 24M+ for program seems not so appealing at the first sight, but if the additional 6M is added as other roms with 6 PP, the total available program memory will be over 30M+
Stability: Not quite sure, but it "seems" not very optimistic^^"
Without the stability-killer "nls with chinese regions", something negative occured as below:
1. SD card missing happend once
2. The compatibility seems not good. The super lean HTC Home modified by hma4 doesn't work, celedial, a smartdialing-like app, doesn't work, either ...(try some other version later / edited: HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen.cab works. not sure if anyone installs incompatible apps above with luck...)
3. No "start" sound effect like the early roms from Gullum (easy to deal with though)
4. Old camera, and the quality is, unfortunately, horrible....(see the thumbnail) Note: for this single reason, i've backed to my favorate one^^"
Others:
1. No touchflo (might try FtoughFlo later)
2. No smart dialing
All opinions above are merely my very personal experience. You may find it much better than I observed and vice versa. Yet it's always touching to know that some more wonderful people are still trying to last the legend of our prophet^^
korand have you patched TrueFFS.dll to merge the extrom with storage ?
How did you manage to merge the extrom ?
iiox :
the reason your camera is like that is because you overclocked your device.
thank you!

I've noticed that....yet i used to "review" all roms with conditions as similar as possible. Although it's impossible with the respect of speed or stability, the quality of camera can be an exception....maybe...^^"
BTW, I'm so curious if your super lean HTC Home can be installed properly into this rom^^? I tried and failed >_<"

i haven't flash this rom yet (no time) but maybe the reason is that cooker of this rom haven't applied the security off package. anyway, where did you find my home plug in ?! in extrom folder of crystal V4 ?! because that cab file is only for Crystal V4.
I will look inside this rom later when i had time then i can answer your question.

[23 April] ATOM/ATOM PURE WM6.1 21054 21056 | WM6.5 23016 21895 28205 WWE

READ THIS FIRST​
Finally Working Bluetooth problem
For ATOM/ATOM PURE ONLY
Download link moved to post #2
Step by step upgrading
NOTE: These steps only apply if you have an ATOM/ATOM Pure.
Basically, there are three steps to flash a custom ROM to your ATOM.
1. Choose and download your choice of custom ROMs
2. Flash the custom ROM to your Atom using the Device Software Update Utility (DSSU)
3. Flash the custom ROM using MiniSD
Preparation
Backup your personal information using a program such as PIM Backup (freeware). Also make sure your phone has at least a 50% charge. You need M$ ActiveSync 4.5 for XP or Windows Mobile Device Center for VISTA and 7 to upgrade your device through PC.
Please read through this guide and download the all the necessary files beforehand. That way, you know exactly what you're getting into.
Choose and download your custom ROM
There are many, many custom ROMs out there for the Atom.
Look through the threads and find a ROM that you like. Custom ROMs differ in their preinstalled software, system settings, performance tweaks, and more.
ROMs usually come compressed in a .zip file. Extract the downloaded ROM file to somewhere on your hard drive temporarily in preparation for the next step.
Flash Custom ROM Using DSSU
Copy the custom ROM file (usually came with 6 files) to C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder you just extracted.
Once you've got everything hooked up correctly, run the Device Software Update Utility (DSSU).exe program inside of the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder you just copied. Follow the onscreen instructions to flash the custom ROM to your phone. Reboot your phone at the end and you're finished. Enjoy the new custom ROM!
In case you can't update the ATOM in active mode, you may need to update by entering bootloader mode. Hold the down power and camera button and use your stylus to press reset button at the same time until you see monochrome bootloader screen. Then connect your phone via USB cable to your computer.
Follow the onscreen instructions to flash the custom ROM to your phone. Reboot your phone at the end and you're finished. Enjoy the new custom ROM!
Flash Custom ROM Using MiniSD
*Not recommended
Here's the step how to flash your Atom using MiniSD.
1. Extract downloaded custom ROM to somewhere on your harddrive.
2. Cut first 12byte header of diskimage_Ver.nb0 using hex editor.
3. Rename diskimage_Ver.nb0 to diskimg.nb0
4. Rename ExtendedROM.img to extended.img
4. Copy both files diskimg.nb0 and extended.img to your miniSD
Now, hold the down power and camera button and use your stylus to press reset button at the same time until you see monochrome bootloader screen. The Atom will flash the new ROM automaically. Once it done, setup the device and enjoy the new custom ROM.
Big thanks to HelloWorld, [email protected], Tj's and all atom tester...

Thanks Glossy.....wow first one in line..........
Downloading now and will flash it later.....will update you from the try outs.
Good work though!
I'm wondering and really hope if this is very CLEAN, FAST & STABLE WM6.5 ROM in LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTIONS for O2 XDA Atom. Thanks before GlossyX1, you're the Atom ROM masterpiece too!
Wow! Great!
Thank you for this new build. Will try soon...
Have a try and gimme some report...
Gloss,
Tried for half a day now, this is what I have :
- overall, this built is much better than the previous, in terms of memory and battery
- overall functions and programs ran smoothly and no problems
- calls and receiving calls all good
- I can't seem to set the ringer mode to ring and vibrate but the phone by default now will ring and vibrate even if not set for vibrate, so no complains there
- persian blue works nicely to compensate for WM6.5 not able to locate any bluetooth device to beam
- Tested and still unable to sync/add more than 2 bluetooth devices, but at least I managed to get activesync working and also my handsfree, that's all I want anyway.
- taps and display are all fast, no issues there.
- booting from hard and soft reset are coming up nicely now
- one advice for user of this ROM is don't try to unlock the Extended ROM and use, the Extended ROM not very stable and when it crash, you will have problem reseting and booting your device, takes a long time and a few soft resets
But overall for me, this is a good, clean and stable ROM(forgetting about the bluetooth issue). Thanks to Glossyx1 and Helloworld1.............
Let's hope someone comes up with a permanent fix for the bluetooth issue, then this will be the defacto WM6.5 for Atom's!

What do you mean by unlock the EXTENDEDRom? I use this ROM for several days and found no problem on my device. Now I uninstalled PersianBluetooth to save more memory.
Did you found another issue? Has anyone else try this ROM?
I am in the road right now and im gonna try it tonight when i got home. one thing i would like to know if it is possible to install Spb Mobile Shell (current version is 3.5) and install MSkip ProPlus Elegance skin since I like this skin so much? if it is possible, what is the xda atom resolution based on the list QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA? sorry not familiar with and this is a bit off topic but I am consider sticking on this rom until such time that there is a solution for the bluetooth issue.

Waiting for your feed. I'm not tested yed to install SPB mobile, but there's no issue when I install another cab application. You have to try it by your self and give us a report. ATOM is QVGA device. thanks
Gloss,
What I mean by unlocking the Ext ROM is that I installed the unlock extended cab file so that the Ext ROM will be visible via file explorer or Resco explorer. Unless the cab I am using is not working properly for WM6.5(it's meant for WM6) but after I unlock it and became visible, I installed a few application on the Ext ROM to try, it was working fine until I need to soft reset the device(as some application do), then the Ext ROM is no longer visible and takes a long time to reboot(think OS can't get at the Ext ROM). Well, other issues is as my previous post, the ring mode can't set to ring and vibrate but it vibrates anyway. Then the same problem with bluetooth not able to add more than 2 devices still there. Otherwise I would say all is prefect.
As for SPB Mobile Shell, I tried installing it before under Helloworld's ROM(21869) before but does not work. The application installed okay but just could not get it to run, do not know why? Maybe some software conflict?
Add application
Hi Gloss,
Where or how can I add applications(.exe) manually in WM6 to the program or Today menu section? Is there a way? I am trying to add some other application like Torch Light, Chess games etc.
So far so good your ROM........(up till now)....

I mean WM6.5(this ROM)....

I see, you can't unlock the EXTRom as it is configured automatically in a file named config.txt. So, every chef has configured it depend on what it is configured in config.txt to EXTRom. Another thing, don't ever use other EXTrom but what is it included on ROM package, it wont work.
For the Ring mode, I can set it as usual in ring mode. Just go to setting->sound and notification->incoming call. Not working??? Try this, set to ring and vibrate, restart and set to ring.
Bluetooth??? Need some magic
I just tried to install SPB 3.5 and it works as well

No you cant, while run standalone application (.exe) you wont see any shorcut because it not registered to registry and doesn't have any shortcut (lnk). You can try to build CAB file and set all shortcut in (initflash.txt) for eq to put TorchLight.exe then write it down Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"):-File("Torch.lnk","\Windows\TorchLight.lnk"), it will show Torch on Start Menu->Programs
Try this to make a CAB file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221
Yeap, learned that after unlocking it today....had to reflash again and the 2nd time I did not unlock it, all fine after that. I was hoping to use some of the available memory on Ext ROM, so no choice then.
Thanks for the link for making cab, will go thru the thread and learn some cab making...
Cheers and keep at it......good ROM there.....clean and stable! The way it should be!
So bluetooth handfree is not working again

It usual happen while atom run out of memory. My ROM preinstalled with PersianBluetooth, when you try to install custom home screen eq SPB then your screen goes white. Here is a tip for you: Try to remove PersianBlue and see what happen. I'm not recommended to use any custom Home Today screen because WM6.5 use more resource than you can expected.

I don't have any bluetooth device, test it by your self and give me feedback.
Cheers...
Dragon,
Bluetooth handsfree is fine, working. Only issue is choose your bluetooth devie wisely as you can only add 2 bluetooth device only at the moment. So for me, luckily 2 is just enough, one for activesync and one for handfree(bluetooth). The reason is after you added the 2nd bluetooth device, you can't see add new device tap anymore.
Good luck....

Sorry, I can't. I've applied a lot of changes in settings and installed a couple of softwares into my device already...
But it is MWG-like. It can be regarded as an official update from MWG.
You're really the first one!
About the free RAM at startup... I can get over than 24,000 KB at the moment(I had installed a lot softwares). I didn't apply any changes to the cache of file system, which means the cache size is still 2 MB as default.
It's as much as you can get in the latest official WM6 ROM, right?

I hope Your new ROM can give more Free RAM. Your Build 21056 only give me about 13Mb Free RAM after install all application that I need. So hard download from Mediafire Lol..................
Have finished download, and now I'm using your ROM and add all Apllication ( and games too ) that I need. About 14,55 Mb Free of RAM and only have 651,71 Mb Free of Storage. Cool..............

Like Bajok! says :
HOW TO FLASH THE ROM:
1. You must have at least 70% battery.
2. Use mini-SD card and format it to FAT16 (use only 2GB capacity and below, don't use SDHC card!)
3. Copy AL1.DIO to card.
4. Insert card to memory slot of your device. Press and hold record button (beside the camera button) then push reset button with your stylus. Wait until BOOTLOADER mode appears saying "SD CARD DETECTED", release the record button.
5. Wait 'til it finishes until the O2 logo and splash screen appear. Follow the on screen steps. HAPPY FLASHING!!!
Thanks your ROM is very light, fast and battery usage is very good with this..
I surprised!! solved my problem for years on battery usage problems.
Just had to say thanks, sadly last week my old faithful HTC TYTN died, and i almost cried, and i had to get another PDA.
The one i got was an 02 Atom Life, however the stock rom wouldnt run some of the apps i use and depend apon, and couldnt do some basic stuff like send the USSD to get credit info (*100#), so i tried the official 6.1 update which still didnt run my app, or allow me access to my info, then i tried this Rom.
Everything goes again, (including USSD) ive tried your 6.5's but frankly I prefer this one alot much more, I just wanted you to know I appreciate your effort to the community.
The problem i have it they layout for the 6.5, do you have a 6.5 with the 6.1 Setup? If so i would gladly test it for you.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand your last question... I beg your pardon?
Sorry, ill phrase it better,
with your WM6.5 roms i noticed they didnt have the standard start menu, like the WM5.0 / WM6.1, it instead your WM 6.5 has the touchflo type menu.
Is it possible to make a 6.5 rom without the touchflo ?
or can the touchflo be turned off so the old start menu works?

Yes... There're two ways that you could be able to use WM6.1-styled Start Menu, but both are not perfect neither:
1. Use the QuickMenu instead.
2. Recook a WM6.5 with a hexed shell32.exe file(by Sun_Dream in DFT) and other WM6.1 DPI and Lang *.dll files. I have just cooked one and that was under tweaked, but unfortunately my device broke again in the day before yesterday... So I'm afraid that you may have to cook it yourself.
My device is fixed now. I've got the thing you meant done, but themes of WM6.5 or later are not applicable for this ROM. The WM6.5 lockscreen and Titanium are not present as well...
So does anyone want to try that?
hi aa125690, been almost a year but this rom is fine!
I have a problem here =
1. when i flash the rom back to MWG original rom (.exe) through dsuu I can't find "wireless tab" under setting-connection-wifi.
2. same thing happen using original O2 wm5 or wm6 rom. no wireless tab inside.
I thought this was DSUU problem so I did =
3. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from both original O2 rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
4. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from original mwg rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
many hard-resets but they solve nothing. strange thing is = all rom from this xda-developer site (from you, bajok!, chrisch, etc, which are all minisd mode) are free from this problem. do you have any idea?
I just wanted to feel the "old feeling" when the atomlife was still on wm5 just like old time.
