search (wm05) vs find (wm03)

In my MDA compact (WM03) the FIND function is very fast
It takes 20 secs to FIND all the occurrence of "john" in my contacts dBase
In my new atom, WM05, the (equivalent) search function needs about 13 minutes to find all "johns" in my contact dBase
the 2 pda share obvioulsy the same contact dBase
Same for search / find into messages or ALL data
What's wrong?
I have about 2200 "contacts" in all
Thanks and waiting

WM5 is whats wrong...
On some devices, like the universal speed increases were reported after latest ROM update, but in general WM5 is just sluggish...
Even something as simple as screen align after hard reset tends to crawl at times.
I have an iPaq 1710 with 200 MHz Intel processor (WM2003) and a jamin with OMAP 200 (WM5), guess which one is faster...
Also I've seen devices slow down after being upgraded to WM5.
We can only hope M$ will fix this at some point.

sure...but 13 minutes to "search" a name in my contacts dbase versus only few secs in WM03 is really astonishing!
Thanks very much for your comment

RAMdisk and Battery life

First of all thank all of you developers for the great great work!
I bit the bullet few days ago and installed WM2005
it's so fantastic!
But I realized that the battery life hasn't been imporved or it might have been reduced
So it got me thinking, is it possible to not have the RAMdisk and PagePool so that we don't touch the RAM at all and improve the battery life?
because one of the biggest improvment WM2005 brought was increased battery life by not keeping the votile RAM alive which consumes almost 50% of the battery life...
Just a thought...

ah...
ok... no reply
I must have asked a stupid question
I willl answer my self with self-made explanation.
Himalaya's hardware was designed to keep the SDRAM voltile at all time
so no metter what you do with the software there is no way to force
128Mb of SDRAM to asleep.
Damn.

hi to all ,, i want to thank the logout for the nice ROM 3.34 it s wonderful and stable ..but it has the same problem with smart dial program, won t work with the virgy dial pad skin ,,i don t know how to get the original dial pad skin to let th e smart dial work
Thanks

i-mate Pocket PC Phone Edition
128 MB RAM
64 MB RAmDisk
ROM 3.34

i'm pretty sure that it's not the rom that deside if ram is kept powered when the device is off it's the device itself which handle that
so only nativ 2005 hardware would safe power
even unused ram would be powered because the hardware dont try to deside if random bits are random or your data
p.s. come to think of it i dont even think nativ 2005 devices turn off the ram when off because that would mean that applications would die when you turn the device off unless the system would place those applications which are suspented when off's memory to disk so their heap and stack info would not be gon when they started again when the user turned on the device
but some applications run even when off like notification and phone controlling applications so their would still need powered memory for their heap and stack

Why does WM6 run slower than WM5?

Hello, everyone here say that WM6 is much faster than original WM5 rom. I for one have managed to flash every shipped WM6 rom and what can I say: molski AKU 3.3 WM5 is BY FAR the fastest rom! Why is that?
I've encountered many issues connected with using wm6, like: softkey lag (it takes almost 1 sec. for wizard to proceed the softkey. The screen rotation is also slow.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

When you find out, let me know
I managed to "beat" the TMobile 2.26 in benchmark. System speed is similar, but still not the same thing.

What WM6 ROm version did you actually use to compare and how did you compare?
Lots of people here are now using WM6 including myself and I really don't see any issues regarding performance when you compare to WM5.
So, I suggest you to play little more specially with these recently ones like X-plore 1.1, read the benchmarks and see the difference.

I thought Molski's 3.3 aku was snail paced, 2.3 aku is by far the fastest. superrom1.1 with NO overclocking is faster than every other rom with overclocking! ymmv

Man, I've tried EVERY rom, starting from UNDERGROUND, through MB, and ending on Xplore 1.1
Each rom has the same issue, softkey lag, and slow screen rotation. Maybe it is faster in TCPMP or in whatsoever. Nevertheless, comparing to Molski WM5 or even T-mobile 2.26 - WM5 is much faster !

When talking of speed why don´t we share sktools benchmarks with and without overclocking to each ROM without any software. Just after hardreset, tweaks, and sktools.
Let´s start to compare??

BTW the overclocking speed that TCPMP shows is more specific than to compare batterystatus vs. omapclock.
Btw. after anichillus will be ready with Xplore 2.0 this discussion will end - because I believe him to create the fastest.

yea xplore 2.0 will be the tits

It would be a neat thing to compare all these roms. One added complexity is that many of the custom roms are by default overclocked, so they would need to be manually throttled down for the comparison to be fair. (For example, supperrom 1.1 is by default overclocked to 252 mhz, Molski's has both smartskey and battery status installed, but I don't remember the default settings.) In addition, filecache and sd cache settings can greatly affect reported sd read speeds. Also, I'm not sure how the benchmarks compare with "real world" speed, but its the best we have for now.
Have fun!

1. Xplore 1.1 (taken from thread) 195Mhz (BS)
2. XPlore 2.0 (early stadium) (taken from thread) 195mhz

Poppamops, a favor...
Since you're running the new x-plore, could you check the following registry values?
HKLM>Drivers>SDCARD>ClientDrivers>Class>MMC_Class:
BlockTransferSize
HKLM>Drivers>SDCARD>ClientDrivers>Class>SDMemory_C lass:
BlockTransferSize
HKLM>System>StorageManager>FATFS:
CacheSize
HKLM>System>StorageManager>Filters>freplxfilt:
ReplStoreCacheSize
I've found these tweaks will increase the reported SD read rate greatly.
Thanks,

Well i think farias wm6 (the real thing) is working awesome and it is so much faster than my mda with wm5. Especially the soft keys and especially the message buttons and internet explorer button on top of the phones. So i highly recommend this rom. And i think you may have a bunk wm6 rom. switch it up to one of the newer ones and you'll see a difference

At your clock speed no wonder it's going fast.
You'll burn your wizard if you keep it at 299 ...be carefull.

Well i am running Farias rom on my other 8125. I have 2 8125's and 1 MDA. On the one with farias rom it is only overclocked to 260. thats it. Havent really tried anything higher and really dont need to. ITs pretty fast. And Anichillus i have heard some real good stuff about your rom. seriously i had to ponder about which WM6 rom to use. EIther yours or Farias. Its just farias had a couple of programs already included that i needed. But on my next 8125 i will be running Xplore 2. So im looking forward to that one.

299mhz at BatteryStatus is only about 260+mhz in real.

Yeah i think it was about 270 something. somewhere around there

Also good for comparing clockspeed is tcpmp. It shows clockspeed

Guys , the BatteryStatus shows the right speed !
Other don't ! How can you trust a program with your CPU if it doesn't even show you right speed ?
How do I know that ? Well , just read clock speed with omap or any other just after flash...it should be 195MHz on a stoc rom ... then contradict me.

I think you're wrong anichillus. We may have 195 mhz omap processor, it runs on 170 mhz in windows though. It is a hardware but software trick.

F.A.Q.
Guide to Seeing MAX RAM:
In order to see the below effect, after initial startup be sure to go to Settings - Home Today - remove all Home Today options. Go to Program Files and Click Oxio. You will generally see around 30MB free. Now Reboot the Device. Once it starts when you click on the Start Menu you'll see Oxio as a quick shortcut since you used it last. Click that and you'll see the max Free Ram Upto 38MB. (128/96Dpi Mode)
What is RamDisk? Why do you let me configure it?
Unlike Flashdisk, RamDisk is temporary storage. It's used to store files or temporary files and folders till you reboot. One of the most common uses of it is to store Internet Browsing History/Cookies/Temp files there, so once you reset your phone it clears up. If you don't use RAMDISK and surf the net alot, cleaning your extra useless temp files and cookies can be a nuisance. This helps you out. You can create ramdisks from 2/4MB as high as 32MB on the 64 Uni and possibly more on the 128MB uni depending upon requirement. Remember once you reset your device the files stored in the ramdisk will wipe out. Some users don't need high ram disks and some don't need them at all. Meanwhile some users do a lot of surfing and want to clear their cache/temp/traces without pains of software. This ensures that!
Guide to Get Extra Storage & RamDisk:
1) Use the attached Ext-Rom Unlock Cab to get 10 MB Additional Storage!
2) See the RAMDISK Install.txt inside Ext ROM to get your ram disk active.
Why don't you use version 19900 (or newest cores) like others?
The simplest reason is I found Thing_xx Kitchen to be stable, fast and effective. I know everyone loves seeing the latest thing, but I personally believe what is Best is what is Effective and Efficient (Stable, Fast, Secure). The latest ROM's seem to have tons of bugs and issues (probably because of quick porting and less depth analysis). I find the kitchen I use as a very stable one, and one that offers the best overall. You must also realise that the Universal was given Windows Mobile 5.0 and not 6.x! All Roms that are 6.x for the Universal are ported. As a result you might never find a perfect compatible rom for the Universal. I feel stability on any 6.x rom kitchen is important. My ROM's are aimed to be Stable, Fast & Effective (in that order).
Why is my RAM less at times?
After loading the system (bootup) , if you go to program files or settings or any other location of the device, ram is utilized immediately. Even after you exit the program folder, some of the ram is "cached" in so later attempts go faster. As a result ram may vary time to time. Our initial startup ram mentioned goes through a quick process of multiple steps and a reboot in order to remove the extra cache. Movements made after seeing the initial ram will change the amount of free ram from time to time. It is possible that if you're using the RAMDISK it will convert there.
I need help! Can You Help Me?
If you need help please email me directly at admin @ rdosti.com or add me on msn messenger: [email protected]. Otherwise feel free to use the Xda Forums for help, suggestions,etc. I can not guarantee a response or a solution. I will try to help you out if I can.
"Wow! I love your rom. I wish I could help you!"
You actually can help me in one of the 3 ways as mentioned:
1) PM or email me and become a partner (help me find cabs, test roms and do some fun testing stuff).
2) Send me an email at admin @ rdosti.com , thanking me and telling me how you loved or liked the rom. (Keeps me motivated)
3) If you can donate even a dollar or more, I would appreciate it. I can't ask for funds, but if you feel I deserve it or feel you want to thank me, this would be a great way for me to get another handset (universal or other and make more roms) (probably motivational as well). I don't drink, so I can't ask for a beer - Donations can be sent to admin @ rdosti.com (PayPal).
Instructions to Flash:
Hold "Flashlight Bulb Icon & the Power On Button" (at the same time) and using your pin/stick push the "soft reset" button. Wait till you get a screen that shows your bootloader on the bottom. I advise using the latest bootloader for your G3/G4 device.
The "bulb icon" is on the center-side of your PocketPC next (left of) the volume (up & down/left & right) key OR on the right side of the camera & speech/recorder hardware key.
The "power button" is on the top side of the Pocketpc - right next to the SDCARD/MMC card slot.
The "reset" hole/button is on the side behind the pocketpc (opposite side of the bulb icon key). The "reset" hole is the tiny hole in between the charger port and the headphone jack.
Is Your Rom 100% Safe?
No, my Rom Is NOT 100% Safe. I take no liability of any issues arising due to the flashing or trying to flash of the ROM or any of my work. There are chances things may mess up and cause issues or even "brick" or "kill" your phone.
Your phone should be SIM-Unlocked before flashing. We have used the Universal RUU (CID bypassing) in our zip, however remember all ROM's have a chance of failure or causing problems. I take no responsibility of the way by ROMs are used.

Thanks so much!

Hi!
Screenshot the ROM?

thank you i will test now but i have a qusetion why i can't find rom like TNT for kjam so nice roms ... all roms for UNI look a same maybe we dont have good cookers or what ​

kjam - Isnt Universal.
Univeral = Jasjar, O2 Exec, Etc.
Well the best cookers..are busy with other things
Cookers like us have to play a role now Though my main focus will be Vanilla Roms since I prefer letting the user put what he/she wants, rather than adding too many things that some people like, others done.

I have never seen a WM6 or WM6.1 ROM with 31,4Mb of RAM free. Awesome!!!

Support the 128MB ROM?
Mod Edit: Please don't quote the original post just to ask a question, it clutters up the thread - use the "Reply" button instead

Am not too sure really honestly. You'd need to check or try it. I dont have a 128MB Universal to test out sadly. Hopefully it will , but am not totally sure.

After 2 hour's use:
It is really very fast and stable ROM. every thing working for me:
System:
1. Wi-Fi (working ).
2. Bluetooth (working ).
3. Phone ringing without delay.
4. Arabize (working ).
Software:
1. Destinator (Cool).
2. Opera Browser (cool).
3. Resco file explorer (working ).
4. Cash Organizer (working ).
Thanks dear for this nice ROM

Thx For Ur Answer

thax for ur answer and i have kjam and uni lol i ask about this coz we need nice roms like TNT organized rom looking nice with HTC HOME nice sounds NOT ALOT problems this what i mean .... if i know how i can cook i will cook sooooo nice roms but i dont know really how and really i dont looking b4 how i can cook i just look for kjam but i stoped coz i can't cook like it's right (TNT ) WE NEED GOOD COOKERS

I really love it being so free of "junk".
But the core is pretty old no? (asking)

Well look at the core this way ...
Universal by default never had WM6+.
If you look at in that perspective - WM 6.1 with any core that gives you stability and speed is better than any other core.
This is something that most people skip and forget about, because everyone feels that the latest core for OTHER devices is the best for Universal & IS INCORRECT. The truth is any core for 6.1 ported to universal is equally good - IF and ONLY if you get stability and speed.
I personally believe its better using an old core that brings you both stability and speed vs. that a new core that has complains for freezes, lack of stability and speed.
At the end of the day I found go with Stability and Speed over anything else.
Regards

4 Germans: The best ROM?

Hi there!
I played around now with nearly each german ROM provided in this forum and thought it would be a nice idea to share my conclusion so far:
My requirements: a rom that is
o reliable
o stable
o fast
o economical
My conclusion:
o Tejaks V5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2348896&postcount=125)
o Radio ROM: 1.65.16.25
I really tried about a dozens radio ROMS / each german ROM and realized that a good number of them seems to suffer from the "battery drain" bug which makes the device unusable for my opinion...
My actual configuration like stated above (ROM and radio ROM) contains around 50 installed 3rd applications and uses only - tadaaa - between 1 (!!!) and 5 mW during standby (measured with battery status). Note: other ROM/Radio ROM combinations used a lot more (from 50mW up to 200mW and even more in standby!) <-- so much for battery usage / economy
For stability: I had NO call disruptions at all (not like with the newer radio ROMS) and got my GPS fixes pretty fast. The ROM never hanged so far.
Skype works! (I dont know any other german WM 6.1 so far)
Igo8 works!
I cant provide a benchmark so far - but this combination gives me the very best feeling related to speed.
No german keyboard bug!
No backlight timeout bug!
No camera bug!
So if you are german and wondering which ROM / Radio ROM you want to use - give this one a chance!
(PS: This is just my very personal impression of the avaliable ROMS... I give all my respect to ALL of the cooks - you all do very valuable work!)

Hi!
Thanks for the information. I installed Teijak's ROM yesterday - my first impression is very good (fast!). My only (little) concern is about the amount of free RAM (I guess because of the pagepool size?) - but let's wait and see.
The official HTC 6.1 ROM was really disappointing me (unstable, performance very different).

HI,
just change the PagePool Size to Dynamic with the Page Pool Patcher Tool. And you will get ~55 MByte Free of RAM. And the Device will going to be awesome fast ;-)
What i miss in this cooked Rom is a pre installed VOIP configuration and the Live Messenger.

...best german ROM?
Hello, I also search for a good, stable and fast (new) german ROM to flash first time my Kaiser...if someone else have good experience with new roms please post here your opinion, bugs and so on...
Thanks for your help,
Lou

I completely agree with licht77!
first, yes I am a nooby. But never-the-less I managed to flash the V5 yesterday night together with HardSPL 3.59. Radio is 1.65.16.25. Before this upgrade I was running the official HTC 6.1 upgrade.
I have changed the page pool to 6MB. My impression: this ROM really rocks!!! Even with this low page pool it is much better than anything I run until now.
Teijak, keep the good work running.
BTW, I am located in the Munich are and Vodafone customer...
Cheers.
