Hi everybody,
I'm searching for a WM 6 ROM with a very low battery consumption. Nowadays, My S200 has SpeedKing ROM, but I think it drains a lot of battery (I have to recharge it every day).
Does anyone knows a stable-low consumption ROM?
One more thing... It is possible to upgrade the ROM using Windows Vista or Ubuntu Linux? I already don't have XP in any of my computers
Thanks!

GO TRY 1d ORIGINAL or Diamond roms from VaranusVincent..
I'll try it.
Thank you very much
i'd suggest micro v3.3 as wm6 by inteks(or smt like that ) and my bubbles 2 as wm6.1 by varanusvincent
I have flashed below ROM
Manilla 2D PV edition by hoangan123 (+ 4mb pp version[26mb ram+m2d])
Prophet ROM diamond pro v1.2 CE OS 5.2.19971 (Build 19971.1.2.6 H.AN)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432579
I think it give a good battery life with this rom.
3 Hours with 1 percent reduce when in standby mode.

Hi there. Sorry if this might be posted somewhere else, but I didn't find anything using the search.
Is there an alternative ROM for the Atom life (explicid life, I think the other Atoms are slightly different because of the lacking 3G feature I think the Chipset will be different).
By now I'm using the WM6 Rom by O2, but I got a very lousy Standby time and I think the Atom could be faster and not using so much of the RAM. By now after Reset I have about 22-23 MB free RAM and I already tweaked quite a lot, without thi tweaking my RAM is down to roundabout 18MB. Are there any other ROMs availible which are more slim. Maybe another Radio ROM which improves Battery life?

Sometimes a 2rd party software is the coz of poor battery life. Specially those in the today plugin. what program did you install in your atom?
Today plugins i have:
SPB Pocket Plus, Diary, Weather, GRPS Monitor
Programs:
Opera, TomTom, PCMKeyboard, PCMContacts, Worms, Monopoly, Uptodate (Medical Sourcebook), Pocket Informant, Total Commander, Ifap Index (Medical Sourcebook), Merck Medicus, SK Tools, MemMaid, CorePlayer
I used all the Programs and Today Plugins also on my MDA Compact II (I think its the HTC Charmer. This one was quite slow, but I never had an empty battery, I even cant estimate my Standbytime or how long I could play MP3 or Video because I never got an empty battery. With my Atom life the battery is empty afer one night standby and netsearching or about 3.5 h of usage (ca. 1h Movie, 30-45 min MP3 and the rest working with the Medical Stuff). My Charmer had after this usage usally about 75% battery left.
Another thing is when navigating in the car and playing MP3 the Atom life stopps charging after about 15min (I think it is getting to warm) even on set CPU Profile to best power which should clock down the CPU.
Any ideas? Thanks for the quick answer.

thats the reason...we viewed spb products as a power hungry program. Also, Dont use any CPU enhancer. Try to remove SPB program and use HTC plugin for your today appearance and monitor the battery life. Close all programs after using the RUnnIng PrograMs/Memory Option.Always Optimize ur atom using SK tools for RAM and performance. then tell me what happen.
OK, the SPB Software might be battery hungry. What alternatives are there for Pocket Plus and Diary. Weather isn't essential for me, so for this I don't need an alternative.

HTC plugin is there and magic button
where to get htc plugin, don't find a download link. by the way, thanks for your help.
magic button looks awfull with wm6. used this with my old wm5 and it was great, but on wm6 it crampels with my clock and really doesn't look nice.

A very good alt for diary is Todayagenda. its a very simplified version without tabs.
For pocket plus wat actually do u wan from this? Tabs for shortcuts? For me i used wisbar advance 3 which give me a very good task management and to insert shortcut at the system tray.
Cheer!!
kaidi
To things I really like about Pocket Plus, the alt tab function and finger friendly buttons.
Today Agenda is ok, but you can not make exclusions what not to show
what do you think about i launcher? is it also a battery messy like pocketplus?
Atom Life Twin?

This would be my prefered ROM, just the Comet isn't out in Germany jet, so no ROM to download availible. If it is there I'll try it because it's in german not that an english ROM is not understanable.
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.
BR. Flemming
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!

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?

Hi.. I just bought an MWg ATOM life... the picture is not exactly the same, but I suppose I can use the O2 XDA Atom files to upgrade right??
PDAVIET_WM61_ROM_OS19209_PP6M
thanks for the help
Absolutely no. Atom Life is a 624 Mhz processor powered-PDA; Atom is a 416 MHz device. Atom Life is 3g Radio equipped....... Atom is only a GPRS device.
Avoid to flash Atom ROMs on Atom Life.......... you 'll risk a general freeze and make the device unusable.
On this room you can find several Atom Life WM 6.1 ROMs. Use only them for flashing your PDA.
Actually I bought a MWG Atom Life and am successfully running PDAViet's rom so

I bought Mwg Atom Life about a week. It works perfect. no hanging no fast battery drain. no memory leakage . It works perfectly. What is the improvement in PV onofficial rom?(more efficient battery or more free ram?or improve speed!!) Is it worth a try?
If it is only threated sms and task manager it's not worth a dime for me. I also have a O2 xda atom and upgraded it to wm6.1 and familiar about thease two features.

PV ROM has WM 6.1 (unofficial) and so has SMS Threader......... a great improvement for who uses strongly SMS services............. Threader collects SMS and queues them by sending number..... it order by date and time... it works great

Thank you for your information.
I already knew what is threaded sms is. but for me it is worthless specially when there is dosens of freeware and software that do the same as threaded sms.
My main question is : If you have a mwg atom life whithout any problem is it worth the rist to update to a buggy unofficial rom or its just threaded sms and thats all?
no offence to the cooker but even best unofficial ROMs have big problems!!
Personnally I had freezing problems with the last WM6 official ROM from O2... Now I have upgraded to the last ROM version of Medkid and so far I'm perfectly happy, I don't have freeze problems anymore!
Also the Java midlets application is way better... I also like the HTC today screen, which you obviously don't have with the official ROM...
tnx for your answer.
while i have no proplem with freezing and don't need to run java midlets there is no diffrence between them? (speed? free ram)
htc home plugin can be downloaded(.cab file is everywhere)

If you really concern about the power consumption,
1. charge your prophet with original charger,
2. switch to other battery to check if it drains the same.
3. try to use your prophet WITHOUT additional software after flash ( Korand's 3.1 will be nice ),
In my personal experience, that may cause by software power consumption + the aging battery.
i use win 5 Jesterzs Aku2.20 with 3.08IPL and 2.20SPL
before setup win6 . have it no problem for Battery Using?
or i use win 5 PRO_DT_WWE_220734_2207114_026121_Ship before setup win 6?

that I need long time to get through your meaning within.
I may try to answer now, don't be mad to my answers boy!
1. I had gone through (flashed) all WWE and CHT/S WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs in this forum,
rarely find battery problems with versions of them, ( 99% of the are quite acceptable),
2. Before setting up WM6 or WM6.1, better have your battery fully charged,
or not less than 50% of it,
3. Better flash the NVID or PVtemp before your first upgrade to WM6,

Did I hit yours?

Hi.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764268 ,
are my two cents' worth about bad behaviour of battery indicator.
Is it possible to change existing battdrv.dll driver to other version ( if exists of course ) without new ROM cooking ? Previously I utilized Novembre5 ROM, now ffboy WM 6.1 ROM.
In system registry driver description concerning battery driver, one can change "dll" value to any other than battdrv.dll but I guess so that new driver worked ok, it must be non XIP'ed.
Have You any idea ?

i have compare in my ROMs 6.1 , 6.5, 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 all has the same driver with 21 kB. And you can a driver from ROM not change wihout cooking.
The difference make the OS Version. All has as basis kernel 5.2. the best adaption is for 6.1 then 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 and then for 6.5. with wm 6.1 you have the best performance and battery time - BUT this is not all. important thing is also the UI. SPB Mobile Shell unload the battery very fast. HTC SENSE is little better. the best is "old6.1Style" or Titanium- bat wath helps if is not user friendly.
fact is for a powerCPU is the capacity with 1100 mAh to low. new devices has 1300 - 1500 mAh.

mirlog, I do not consider what eats energy more or less. I say about bad battery driver behaviour ( can not see other guilty ) so it is strange nobody reports the same I noticed taking into account battery driver is the same for all WM versions as You mentioned.
It seems driver remeber only difference in voltage ( and in one direction - lowest level ) not current level.

I second miro's reply.
I have noticed it's more or less likely the UI which will affect the battery behaviour. Don't know how the driver will change anything as 6.1 > 6.5 in terms of battery saving, but again has same driver! So same driver behaves differently - meaning it's the rom that changes cpu usage which in turn changes battery behaviour.
What I have noticed is 'clean rom' (6.1 or 6.5.x) + titanium or basic WinMo UI = the best battery usage - I have had days when with plenty of calls and texts, I don't charge my tg01 till next morning or even late afternoon!
when I use 'cooked rom' + spb/sense = the battery usage is terrible. By end of one evening, I am there sitting and charging my tg01!
