Well I have had to do a hard reset and one flash in the last 2 weeks. I am beginning to lose my mind I guess.
The first time after I did the install.The phone works fine for a few days, then it Sloooooows down to a creeping level. It would freeze from time to time and would take forever to open a program. I thought PhotoContacts Pro 5 caused this. So I did a Flashed after the phone froze all the time on the Splash screen just about to load Windows. But after that I reinstalled all my programs and it worked fine for a few days then it went back to freezing again, taking an eternity to Open any program. And mark you, I did not install PhotoCOntacts this time. I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything again, and since yesterday, it's been doing the same thing again. My Ram is always free, like 10- 15 MB left when running. Coz I use one program at a time. So, please what could I be doing wrong? Am I skipping something. I never had this problem with dcd 3.0.4.
Any insight is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Can you list the programs you have installed? And what do you have built into ROM. did you use Kitchen or Prebuilt?

Well that's it, I know it's a lot , but they all use to run in Harmony
With that big of a list, your best bet will probably be to load a few at a time, use it for a couple of days to see if the problem recurs, so you can narrow it down. There are some programs that don't play well with 6.1.
I also notice you say you have onenote listed. That is already included with msoffice apps in dcd's kitchen. Maybe installing on top has caused a problem with this or some other app?
Yup, limit down on the apps/util that always have a process running -- ie. HTC apps & the cube. Plus, a lot of your others often have a today item running, so close those down.
Most of us go after no less than 16-18 MB (or better) after a re-boot. With you at only 10-15MB free, you have plenty running that the rest of us choose to do without.

I have used most if not all of these apps except for PPC-6800 (not sure what it is) Hers the ones I had to cut out.
HTC Home - seemed no matter what version i used it ate speed and memory. I use the time/date format on the top bar and wisbar adds battery status. I use pocket weather with custom skin as thats primarily what i used the home plugin for.
HTC Taskmanager (X-Button) - phone ran much better without it, had better luck with wisbar lite of full.
Yahoo Go - I have never had this work well, on any phone...
HTC Cube - While it may not continuously eat ram, it does use 2 to 3 meg after you fist use it. I use the GL version and close it with task manager after using it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102&highlight=cube
Voice Command - If it is the MS version it uses 1 to 2 meg and can lock up. Generally i don't have problems with it but it does consume ram.
One I see you don't have that caused me issues was Schap advanced config util. After i ran it i wouldn't be able to answer incoming calls among other issues.
Another question would be; are you syncing e-mail? how much and how many accounts? I have found if i sync less days it helped with stability(although its probably just me). I sync to an exchange server, gmail, and yahoo.
i've had a few issues with 3.1.2 that i didn't have with 3.0.4 either. Radio is still the same i had on both builds..i'm using 3.37 from Alltel's OEM Radio/Rom. I haven't quite researched how to update to Radio 3.39 from my SD, so that's why i'm still with 3.37.
My problems are these:
1) Anytime i'm in Roaming and get a call, a big screen comes up and says "Roaming Charges May apply". I've never had that before.
2) When i'm on the phone and someone calls in, the loud call waiting buzz comes up, but if i ignore it, and let the user leave a voicemail, it cuts my current call off. It seems to do it worse if/when they leave a voicemail.
3) When i'm on the phone i was under the impression that data was knocked off. I've never had this problem before, but now if i'm on the phone, my phone shuts off if/when an email comes in.
4) GPS isn't even close. when i flash back to 3.0.4 it's right on. For some reason with 3.1.2 it's 20-30 miles off. Really weird.
5) Weird again because this shouldn't be a Rom issue, but my signal is totally lower than it was with 3.0.4
no biggies, i can go back to 3.0.4 because it was very solid, but here are a few of my issues.
Thanx everyone
Edit:
I decided to wait a whole day and see, after carrying out all the advice I was given. Well the problem still persists and still takes long to open programs. I have decided to go back to 3.0.4. That was more stable for me. Hopefully it will let me downgrade.
Update:
FULL WORKING GPS, LIVE MAPS, GOOGLE SEARCH, VZ NAVIGATOR NOW POSSIBLE THANKS TO BORED!

Scott's VZNav ROM 1.0 for the Verizon XV6850
I built this ROM from the eRice Kitchen and the VZW OEM pack I created. Its not totally clean nor is it a bloated either. I amoved away from the 100% stock look. THis is just a good mix of tools and sensor apps while retaining a fairly stock look. I changed the default today theme and the modified the Verizon TouchFlow 3D look. I removed the internet, music and photo's tab for memory and speed. They can be added back in by the included TF3D Config.

Basic Instructions
Instructions:
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell you if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect!
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Download ROM and extract to desktop using WinRAR. Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions. Flashes just like any other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE NORMAL USAGE!
Link to ROM and RUU is here: http://www.scottcrosler.com/
Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
You will note I added all my extra apps in Sensor Apps and Utilities keeping the Programs folder a little cleaner. You can also see that I mapped Contacts (iContacts to be exact) to the left softkey when on the home page. Thats a must have for me becuase I dont use the contacts tab.
Flashed and running nicely, seems off the bat more the smoothest to date, haven't yet done much customization but from just walking through it, it seems to me that it is actually reclaiming ram from closed apps a bit better, but could just be that new rom feel Did you happen to add the htc update to this one by any chance or will i still need to install that?, all in all impressive as usual. Thanks for your hard work and mad kudo's.
Don't you sleep?
I will be trying the ROM either later today or tomorrow.
I look forward to reporting nothing but AWESOMEness back.
Awesome man, we all really appreciate your hard work. Havent tried out your new Rom yet, still pleased with your Rev 1 . Do look forward to the screenshots though, sounds tempting.
Nice rom! Thanks for supporting VZW TP!
can someone link me the stock vzw rom...not the prerelease that i found on ppcgeeks sticky page, i plan on exchanging vzw tp and receive a replacement due to hardware issue so would like official release. Thanks. I already searched as well...might have missed it tho.
I just put your rom on and love it! I have been installing everything you are putting out. My memory usage was exactly the same as yours. One issue I am trying to figure out is vznav is not working. It was working for me in your previous build but not this one. The error I am getting is that "there was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart vz navigator."
Any ideas? I set the location to on, I have checked my account and I have vz nav with verizon.
Thanks,
Mike
Very wierd, I just kept trying over and over and finally it started working. I did try starting it at least 10 times. Now it works. Wierd. oh well at least it works again.

That happens when you first instawll and launch it. Typical. Takes me three times and I am good ;c) Has done that on the stock ROM for me as well as my own cooked ROMS. After it initializes and sets itself up its good from then on.
Glad it's running though. Would sound stupid calling the VZNav ROM if VZ Nav didint work! hahahahaha

That is the stock ROM. I now it says pre-relewase but its the same verision that came on the phone. I looked at this very closely before I flashed for the first time. Trust me, you can use that to send the phone back. Many people already have.

It should be a little bit faster. Not a placebo affect if that is what you think. I added some of my tweaks and some tweaks from all over th enet. Nothing major... Just things like glyphe cache, services, etc. I also bumped up the touch sensitivity just a hair. That alone makes the phone feel 10 times faster. A little here and there is all it takes on this phone. Its has soo much potential.
Hey Scott,
Do you have something against the state of Washington?
j/k - FYI Weather tab Washington shows blank for all cities. Not that I live there,... but since it's usually raining in Seattle I like to have that city on there for the graphics of the windshield wiper.
Great ROM - not a huge fan of iContacts, but that's probably just because I haven't used it too much.
When I first powered up - it seemed very jittery and laggy,... but now - after I installed my core apps, it acts much better. I performed NO additional tweaks or anything - just rebooted after restoring all my data and logs.
Did notice that SMS sent notification is BACK,... I have to go find that registry edit and take that out again (very annoying). And Opera is not the default browser (I actually prefer that) but I didn't know if that was intentional or just happened? PIE seems to load so much faster when clicking a link in e-mail,... but Opera has all those neat features.
I like the new look with the new icons and the flip clock! Thanks for that!
Keep up the great work - truly do appreciate it!!
Thanks for that info Scrosler!

I hate the state of washington. No just kidding! I dont know why it did that. I used the same weather database I used in my last ROM. i will look at it tonight.
The reason it seems slow and laggy on first boot is because it is. I dont know if it was a good idea to have TouchFlow launch during first boot and autoinstall but i did.... Heheh... but like you said, after that it is fine. The lag isnt very bad as long as you wait for everything to load first. Thats my biggest challange. Getting the boot time down. Not sure how to make that great yet.....
The flip clock is indeed nice ;c)
Sorry you are not a big fan of iContact. I think I have tried every contact app and liked this one best. I will post the kitchen sometime this weekend and you can always cook one without it. I also need mod my site to include the link to the VC ROM. I will do that tonight. I know alot of peeps use VC but I hate it. Never ever recognizes my voice for anything at all. I dont get it.
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are enjoying it!

Cool, here is the cab that I OEM'ed. I dont know how I left that out... My bad!
I also included a cab for Start Clean. This erases your recently used programs from start menu everytime you boot. I love it. I hate the MRU set up.
Would someone with the new rom post some screenshots?

Sleep? WTF is that? No just kidding. I have two modes for ROM building.
Tinker mode which is at my leisure. Sleep normally and only work on the ROM at home. Then there is XDA mode where I litterally dont sleep for two or three days and just keep coooking all night long like a meth addict! Thats usually starts on Friday night and ends on SUnday night around 3:00am Monday morning! hahaha.
This weekend will be chill though. Just going to sit back and wait for comments to roll in to see how I did with this ROM and go from there.

Yeah, you may or may not like this ROM as I did detract from the stock look and feel just a little bit. But on the same note its the quickest Rom yet and has more available memory with no missing features.
I will try to get a couple screenshots up in a few. Sorta busy with crap at work today. Let me see if I have My Mobilier on this work machine. I forget....... Long night last night. hehehehe....
EDIT: Ok I got the home screen and App screen up. Let me know what else you may want to see before flashing....
Scott (scrosler) gave me permission to branch off development of his M2D Round 4 Reloaded ROM, since he'd officially abandoned his Titan development. He's having too much fun with his new Touch Pro ROM cooking.
STABLE BRANCH 1.3.4 [02/20/2009]
These first releases of what I'm calling Titan Reloaded is pretty similar to his loaded ROM and just includes some minor updates and tweaks, which are detailed on the download page here:
http://www.pdamag.com/roms/
Instructions and caveats here:
http://www.pdamag.com/rom-install-instructions/
Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 is out and contains tons of changes, check them out!
Thanks to xda-developers and members scrosler, dcd1182, and no2chem.
I'm starting this thread to support the users of this branch. Thank you for trying it.
FAQ
Q: When I switch to lanscape mode, or open the keyboard, why doesn't M2D switch to landscape?
A: Lanscape mode isn't supported in M2D, and I can't add it, since I didn't write it and don't have the source.
Q: Why doesn't the flash on the camera work?
A: The version 5 camera is installed by default as it seems to take better pictures, and it doesn't support flash. If you want the flash back, download the kitchen instead of the standard ROM and customize your ROM before flashing it with the version 4 camera. I challenge you to show me a picture that came out better with the puny "flash" on this camera, though.
Q: Why doesn't the "ok" hardware button open the start menu?
A: I haven't figured that out myself. It seems that M2D takes control of that hardware button and I can't fix it. Try using the start menu hardware button instead.
Q: I'm having a problem with the stable branch, how do I get help?
A: There are no known issues. First try doing a hard reset after flashing (hold both softkeys, the hardware buttons with dots on them in while pressing in the reset button with your stylus. Then press the hardware R and space keys when prompted.) Then try to reproduce your problem without installing any custom software in the kitchen or after flashing. If you can reproduce it, please provide the steps to reproduce in the forum and ask for assistance.

BETA BRANCH 1.4b2 [02/20/2009]
Also check out the 1.4 beta 2 which upgrades 2DManila (including footprints), HTC Album, and HTC Audio Manager from a new HTC release. Also included the previously missing Audio Booster. Upgraded Youtube with working finger scroll. Now using default theme, which can still be changed from M2DC. Also installed the Volume Control. The carrier cabs have been upgraded and are now installed under My Documents by default. No more app bundle installed. I haven't tested those apps with the new Manila. I also upgraded the sys files to new OS version.
Because it may not be obvious, to non-software developers. The beta ROM probably has bugs. I need feedback to fix them. Please don't run it if you don't find it fun beta testing. If you want stable, please go with 1.3.4 for now.
http://www.pdamag.com/downloads/TitanReloaded_1.4b2.rar
There are a lot of known issues with the beta at this time:
1. In call volume adjustment doesn't work (some report this works though?)
2. Custom cities in weather tab may not work?
3. If your phone gets stuck on vibrate, go into Start->Settings->Phone-> and Change to Ring.
Update 09/04/2012 - Kitchen is available for beta.
Thanks!
cant wait for the kitchen since i need SIP change and Data backup in my phone at all times. thanks for keeping this going for us xv6800 users
bitserve: thanks for keeping the Titan ROMs alive.
bitserve, thanks for your work. it's good to see what started (which is freaking awesome, by the way!!), will continue. happy holidays to you all.
What are the two issues and quickfixes?
From bitserve's site:
TitanReloaded 1.0 Known Issues [12/16/2008]
* Location tab search doesn’t open GoogleMaps. A quick fix is to copy \Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe to \Windows

Looks good. I'm looking forward to flashing this when I get home.
I just flashed it on my Mogul(useless Qwest phone) and I liked it, so I flashed it on my XV6800 and it's awesome. Keep up the good work.
Flashed it and it's working wonderfully.

Im not giving up my TP for anything ;c)
I just started looking again at the different ROM's out there since I had a few days to try and update things again on my phone.
I flashed this yesterday and have noticed a few things. I will list some of them.
The interface is very nice. The app shortcuts are easily added to the application page. Colors are customizable and are easily seen.
My phone seems to react very slowly to the bluetooth and the music app would not even open. Not sure why? There needs to be a regedit app installed. The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again. A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though. I know the phone with Verizon can be a little finicky for GPS at times. Although I did have it working a while back with a different install and was great.
The camera and photo viewer are SWEET. They work very well. I may have to try a different build and see how that works for the time being, but will be back when there are a few other mod's to this one. It looks very promising.
Also, my kids grabbed my phone and were disappointed that there weren't any games other than the default MS ones.
A couple more things I noticed, are that the battery indicator did have colors to it (very nice), although the number of bars didn't change and I ran it to nothing thinking I was also getting incredible battery life. Theclock seemed to lock up and not update.
I recently changed from a Hermes to the 6800 and have been looking for the perfect ROM (for me). I have to tell you I found it. This is the first ROM I have tried that everything works and is set up for my needs. Thank you & looking forward to your next update.
This is sweet..I have some questions
How do I get the OK button (side) working on the home page? Basically to open the start menu like in the OEM roms?
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?
Another thing is how to I make the scroll bar on the side wider?

OK to add to this, I installed the ROM pack and now mthe phone works funny.
The dialer display cuts off some numbers and the right hand scroll bar in the folders acts funny. also the Screen align does not work.
(I installed everything in the rom pack) Maybe I should of done one at a time.
What you guys think?

Do you mean that your bluetooth was slower than with the stock ROM? The Audio Manager works fine for me from both the tab and from start->programs. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?
There needs to be a regedit app installed.

Well, I'm not sure it needs to be in the ROM. However, as I get further away from scott's original ROM, I'll be installing some freeware apps that I use regularly that I consider must haves. One will have a registry editor.
The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again.

I doubt that I'll ever add quick menu to this ROM, but I'll start offering a kitchen soon. I actually like the startclean app. I don't turn my phone off very often. When I do, it's because I want to clear everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251164
You can remove start clean from Windows\Start Up. You'll also be able to disable this in the kitchen.
A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though.

GoogleMaps is installed. I don't know of any other free ones that work better. Although maybe I'm unclear on what you mean GPS app? Make sure that you have GPS on under services under phone-> options. I usually am able to get a sattelite fine. What radio are you using?

I tested this by letting my battery running all the way down, before I released the ROM. I didn't have any problems. Also no problems with the clock. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?

How do I get the OK button (side) working on the home page? Basically to open the start menu like in the OEM roms?

I just had to test and was surprised to find that worked from the today screen. My phone has a start button, which I always used for this. It looks like TouchFlo takes control of the OK button. Sorry. I'd recommend using the start button on your phone, if you have one. I'll fix it if I can.
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?

This worked on the stock ROM? From the today screen, this seems to open the voice memo recorder for me. You might try a hardware button configuration program.
Another thing is how to I make the scroll bar on the side wider?

I believe that scott made the scroll bar narrower, because this ROM was mostly supposed to be navigatable by finger. I would recommend using the scroll wheel or the dpad when possible. I actually prefer to have more screen than more scroll bar. However, here are the registry tweaks:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
"cyHScr"=dword:13
"cxVScr"=dword:13
"cyVScr"=dword:13
"cxHScr"=dword:13
You'll be able to disable the narrow scroll bar in the kitchen. You can also install a 12 pixel scroll bar from the included ROM pack, under Apps.

OK to add to this, I installed the ROM pack and now mthe phone works funny.
The dialer display cuts off some numbers and the right hand scroll bar in the folders acts funny. also the Screen align does not work.
(I installed everything in the rom pack) Maybe I should of done one at a time.
What you guys think?

Well, in my version, the Task Manager is already installed in the ROM. I wouldn't recommend installing the cab for it. Truthfully, the only other cab that I've tested is the Opal Style Comm Manager, which works fine. I don't care for the other apps.
You should definitely install them one at a time. I'm not sure how to even install multiple cabs at one time. You likely only want to install one carrier cab, also. My screen align works fine.
Great work. Looking forward eagerly to the next release, and the kitchen.
I have a problem. When I set up my gmail on my phone it won't receive messages. It always worked on DCD and I don't understand why it would just up and quit working. I haven't tried any other emails though because they changed the system at work from groupwise to exchange and I don't know the new servers since I am on break til the 5th. Has anyone been able to set up email on their phones? I feel so disconnected.
When is the next update going to be released? It is after the holidays.
Happy New Year!
I'm getting the same issue as Elizle. Pocket Outlook is having trouble connecting with the incoming mail server. Connecting to Gmail IMAP using FlexMail seems to work, but I'm not accustomed to its interface. I miss the integration with M2D.

I use mail all the time. I check both my home e-mail and my work e-mail with this ROM. I haven't had any problems. Using IMAP for both though. Haven't tested POP3.

This weekend. Likely Sunday night. I just finished a web development project and have this weekend to work on whatever I want, and I've been wanting to work on this. Thanks for your patience.

It's weird that you're both having problems with gmail. I guess I'll have to get a gmail account and see if I can figure out the problem. If anything, I would expect this ROM to work better, as I included "Windows Mobile 6.1 Hotfix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail (KB958639)". I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for the feedback.
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
Hi all - first post on xda - please be gentle ;-)
Can anyone suggest what may be the most stable setup on the HD2? the constant freezing is starting to make the phone unusable for me as I use it for work and before I move to something else I thought I'd ask some advice on a better setup.
I have had WM machines (pocket PC) for a long while mainly Ipaq and my last 4150 worked for years without a hitch - couple of screen taps and any info I needed was there quickly mainly excel spread sheets e-mails and schedule, the thing never missed a beat in years. The HD2 seemed the ideal phone replacement.
I have not gone mad with the phone it is pretty stock with a couple of usable mods (CHT and editor etc) every day or so, maybe twice a day I press the on button to bring up the lock screen and it freezes - always when I need it most - it freezes in a particular way ie I can see the taskbar at the top, MENU and PHONE on the bottom (which "react" when pressed but do not bring up the function) and blank screen in between - it needs a soft reset - I have installed the endkey long press which works but this always happens when I need the information quickly and waiting for it to reboot is not quick enough
I would dearly miss co0kies home tab and the couple of mods but if a standard ROM is the best so be it (was going to try the vodafone 1.72 ROM) - or is there a real stripped down ROM that is simple and stable removing all the baggage on the standard ROM. I've never done it but I'm not averse to having a go at cooking a ROM if it will get me what I need
I use all the "business" type functions - dont need twitter/facebook/footprints etc would really use the documents Tab
ROM 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio 2.06.51.07
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
Co0kies home tab 1.8.5
CHT editor 1.8.5.1
Resco Registry add in
Resco explorer
Skype
SPB Backup
Avian waves BattlineSvc
Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
Windows marketplace
Each time it locks up I'm getting fed up of friends/colleagues swiping their Iphones at me going "look! mine doesn't do that"
I like the HD2 I'd like to be able to say "but yours doesn't do all this" with all the extra capabilities - instead I seem to be always rebooting - waiting for sense to launch
I don't want to lose the HD2 and its capabilities but If I cant get it to be a bit more stable the Desire is looking tempting or even (wash my mouth out with soap) an Iphone?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated
My hd2 became unstable when i had cookies home tab, its been solid as a rock since I uninstalled it, give it a go, I don't miss it anyway.
oh, and if they want proof, my friend has had the same locking up issues on 6 replacement iphones. it crawls to a halt then refuses to react, so he has to wait until the battery goes flat as he can't reset it...
You might want to try moving up to the 1.72 wwe rom and try that with and without cht, perhaps even try rolling back to an older version of cht.
I used to suffer the lockscreen freezing on the stock 1.66 rom.
I cant remember if it persisted after moving to the 1.72 im afraid, I dont think it did though.....
Does it only freeze when using the cht lockscreens?
HardSPL your phone and flash-

CHT works fine along with anything else I have thrown at the ROM!
Stable as a rock and is an excellent dive board into Android as well.
For extra "cut down" disable sense and run Resco today plug-in as your home screen.
I used to flash numerous times a week, but, I haven't changed a thing since 16th Aug and that's a record.
what version of CHT are you using as i had to revert back to v1.7 due to the latest one giving me problems...i would suggest to upgrade your Rom to 1.72 start fresh again and install all necessary apps you need one by one that way you can analyse if certain apps are conflicting causing the frezzing problem that you have ....if that doesnt work try a custom rom.

On the iPhone tell him to hold the sleep button + the home button for a few seconds... That should do the trick.
i had the exactly same issue on my second hd2 and had my phone sent in (also vibracall was sounding abnormally), i should get it back this week. i hope CHT works then, my first hd2 never had problems like that....
Thanks indeed for the info I did have a sneaky suspicion that CHT may be a problem, I will try the stock 1.72 and maybe try a few things one at a time see if it helps thanks again
ive had problkems that sound like that, the lockscreen disapears and you can see the screen you have behind, except you still have to slide to unluck . with the vbn rom my lockscreen problems dispaeared complelty. it still seemed to suffer from memory issues but for the most part it was stable.
i hardly use windows mobile anymore, as android is way more fun, and it never complains about not having anough memory
I would suggest couple of things:
- make sure, that all the additional icons (if any) and wallpapers used are in phone memory, i.e. not on sd card.
- using bsb tweaks You can disable wm 6.5 lockscreen and give s2u2 a try
