I have been thinking about doing a rom upgrade, mainly to free up space currently taken by the AT&T bloatware. However something has recently come to my attention.
People complain about video playback with the Tilt/Kaiser all the time but I have no such issues. I watch video on it all the time with no lag, freezes, poor quality, etc. I watch WMV's and AVI's and I use Windows Media Player as well as TCPMP, both programs work perfectly even with large file sizes. I also stream video from my home PC using ORB with no playback issues, same with youtube mobile.
I am worried if I upgrade my ROM I might be opening myself up to video issues other users seem to have. If I somehow got lucky and have a tilt without video playback issues, I dont want to mess it up. Would I be running that risk by upgrading to a new ROM (I was thinking about Duty's latest release).
No, you wouldn't be opening yourself up to any driver issues by upgrading. You already have the driver issue, you just don't know it. True the kaiser, in some instances can play videos just fine, but there is a huge potential for the device to be a whole lot faster than it currently is while playing videos, 3d rendering, and just overall user interface responsiveness. I'd recommend you jump in and try out a new rom. You will be glad you did. Make sure and do some reading until you are confident that you are doing it right. (install hardspl) After we get these drivers everyone is waiting on, our phones will be the fastest, baddest mofos on the market. I'm perfectly happy with my kaiser being driverless, but just imagine the possibilities when we get our hands on them drivers. Cheers! happy flashing!
I got my tilt the first day it came out and did not flash it until almost the beginning of this year. I'm so happy i did. If i was you i would take the risk. Duttys roms are awesome. and if you have any problems the new CorePlayer works great and you will notice an improvement on the video even though you dont think you have any problems already.
Hello
I have been flashing cooked roms for long time and I started reading about this D3D driver inside some cooked roms.
However, I have not notice any difference between cooked Rom with D3D driver and ones without.
So my question is , what is the difference and advantage of having D3D driver?
Right now the driver doesn't accelerate 2D, so it wouldn't do anything except help you run D3D games. I think people are mostly including it in ROMs so there's a lot of testers giving feedback, as much as any other reason.
The main difference you'll probably see is with reference to gaming. The 2d drivers (if released) will have a bigger impact for non-gamers. If you play the light.exe, you'll notice a huge difference with the FPS.

I'm guessing at hardware acceleration, with the included tests you can check its perfomance. But i know what your saying, there doesn't seem to be any advantages for the everyday user.

depends what u consider an everyday user. for instance, with the d3d drivers, tomtom 6 flies compared to what it used to be like on a kaiser. i consider tomtom to be an everyday user app, tho i can see why it also wouldnt be.
once manilla is fully ported to qvga , even without 2d accel i think it ill change things for the every day user.

I do have tomtom6 on my tilt. But I still can not see better performance with D3D driver. With or without, tomtom6 is very smooth.
I guess evey user experience can/will be different, but TT6 without the drivers was useless for me. I was missing turns because the screen couldnt update fast enough. The drivers made a huge difference. It didnt even really look smoother, just more choppy frames than before lol. TT7 is great though.

I have the exact opposite. TomTom 6 is lightning quick on my Tilt, but I stopped using it because of it's terrible maps for my area; the desolate town of Philadelphia PA. TT7 is completely unusable for me because within 5 seconds of starting navigation, the maps stop redrawing themselves.
I'm starting to think that the source of my TT7 issue is running a ROM ported from the Xperia or Diamond. I'm gonna flash to a true Kaiser ROM and see if the issue goes away.

So far, best TomTom combination for me is,
TomTom6 maps and TT7 app.
For me this had never given me a problem
I was super excited to hear that the Fuze was coming out for AT&T since I have been waiting for the TouchPro for a long time. Finally my local AT&T store got a couple in stock so I went to go take it for a test drive after reading/watching all the reviews I could find.
I'm thoroughly disappointed. I am trying to upgrade from my 8125 and i was thinking that it would be a major improvement. The Fuze is slower than my 8125, how is this possible? Is touchflow3D the new vista? The only thing that even keeps me remotely interested is the video out capability.
I'm not sure if I should be mad at HTC since they only make the hardware or microsoft since they make the bulky and outdated windows mobile software. Now I have to wait another year to see what hits the market. I'm a big fan of HTC and WinMo but I think someone needs to step it up a bit. IPhone isn't that big of a threat but after playing with the Android OS on the G1 I can definitely say that it is worthy to be called a next-gen OS.
Throw the Android OS on the Fuze and then we can call it a day.
I think it is our fault for constantly spending $500 on phones that provide inferior performance. Ok the rant and rave is over
Mod Edit: Combined about 10 threads with various minor complaints about the fuze, please try to keep general complaint type comments to this thread.
I had issues that day I bought my Fuze. I was really worried that it was a dog as it was slow and using the screen was spotty. The two things I did to change my mind were to use my finger tip instead of finger nail to navigate the screen and intall the TF3D Configuration tool and apply the speed tweaks. After that it runs like lighting... I upgraded from the 8525...
turn off TF3d and re-evaluate the speed.
is the slowness TF or WM
While not as snappy as my Tilt, I don't think its the TF3D app. I can turn it off and use it like a normal mobile device. I noticed finger swipes works better than my Tilt.
People need to remember this is NOT an Iphone or a G1. Those use a different screen technology. Perfect for fingers, really bad for accuracy. Just remember on a winMobile device, swiping with a bit a pressure will work fine. If you want accuracy like clicking on a small box or drawing something (Lets seee iphone or G1) freehand, use the stylus.
Fuze bonus over that of the Tilt: Hi-Resolution screen, more keys on the keyboard, camera light, other things too, but thats the main thing. I liked.
And the G1 ain't all its cracked up to be. My friend has it. He's not happy. He moved from a BB though. Doesn't even have a IM client yet that works full time.
Man, my Fuse (with the TF3D running) is at worst just as fast as my 8525

I agree. Its MUCH, MUCH faster than my Tilt was after I flashed NotATreoFan's ROM. He basically made a clean version of the stock ATT ROM.
The stock ROM is crap and is bloated and runs slow and lags.
I also made some changes in the AdvancedConfig tool. I changed the finger pressure and sensitivity to Normal instead of the defaults.

Flash your Fuze
I was on the fence about flashing my Fuze... but finally put ROMeOS 1.40 and, like everyone else has said, its night and day.
Just curious what what you're doing that the 8125 could perform better?
sure it is slow. thanks to AT&T bloatware.
I have not flashed a new ROM yet, but just by getting rid of the bloatware and doing the TF3D performance tweaks, the HSPDA tweak, the remapping the PTT button, and i am a happy camper already.
I love the size and the screen resolution. The touch screen TF3D is a huge improvement on my Tilt's Manilla 2D. And once you get stuff like Gyrator 2 on it (to use the G-sensor in ANY app, not just Opera and HTC Album), it really blows my old phone away.
Slowness, GPS lags, network restrictions, bloatware are all easily fixable - well, thats why we love XDA-Devs
the phone is only as good as the user makes it. Try tweaking it and you'll love it like the rest of us~
And trust me, you don't want android YET, so many bugs and flaws with that OS right now. Get yourself a g1 and you'll see why.
Good luck playing with your fuze!
My TF feels kinda fast, no lag whatsoever.
Stock ROM, nothing tampered with except Diamond Background Changer...
I did do a hard reset after the first 4 hours with the phone though, just to avoid any problems (saw it on the Sprint TP forums).

Hi there....might I ask exactly how you removed the "bloat ware" from the Fuze? I would like to remove a bunch of it myself....thanks!

XDA to the rescue as always
Thanks for all your comments and I see and appreciate your respective arguments.
baboola - this is very true that we are here because we unhappy with the out-of-the-box performance of our phones
kcchen - 8125 is running touchflo 2d and runs like a champ compared to Fuze with touchflo 3d. I'm guessing this would be the same on the 8525 and 9525 (Tilt)
everyone - thanks for making XDA an awesome expeirience
I guess as usual flashing is the only way to make the necessary improvement. I wasn't really thinking about the AT&T bloatware.

Good luck! Do the HardSPL and get one of the page pool optimized ROMs. I use the ROMeOS 1.40 which is a dramatic performance improvement... Kevlar-Source has a repository of other ROMs with the page pool hex set to 0. Do a search in the Rapheal ROM development to find Kevlar's repository.
Good luck!
Bloatware...I don't get all your complaints!
It's not like all that crap is hogging RAM. So what's the difference between whacking it and going through the steps to make everything work again - and just leaving it alone?
I use my Fuze with a custom ROM. Faster than the Tilt or the 8125 I had before. I had the ATT ROM for 2 days until I just had too many issues. The customer ROM is much better. Still some minor issues but nothing major.
Still not sure if I like the design of the up/down/left/right. Half the time I press right, I hit the back button.
Think I'm gonna return my Fuze
I've been playing with it since the day before launch, haven't done any custom ROM's so it's all stock...but I don't like it. I mean it's sexy--I love the device itself--but AT&T's software eats it *bad*. At times it feels slower than my Wizard running 6.1, and it's way, way, WAY less stable. The thing is locking up constantly...it's just a pain in the ass.
So I guess that's it. Anyone else disappointed in the software load they've given or had stability problems with the device?
I had a lot of lag with it, but every since my friend flashed it and had all the AT&T stuff taken out, it's been running faster and its pretty stable.
I've been thinking of doing that as well, I am just a bit torn because I'm not sure the ROM development is really mature yet for this particular phone. Also I tend to think this one might be having hardware issues given how much it locks up. Maybe I'll just have them exchange it for another one.
I have tried Timolol's WM6.5 and...I forgot the other...and this one was good for awhile but it's getting insanely buggy.
If you like the ROM you're on, and have been on it for a bit, then point me in the direction. I'd really like to use 6.5 but if I can't find a stable one, then I'll have to revert back to 6.1
Thanks
Energy Roms
DaG's WM6.5 21518 Clean ROM without MSVC is working very well for me.
Learn how to use UC and proper backup tools and then you can flash away and try as many roms as you want!
This is such an open ended question because many people have personal preference.
with that said. I would recommend NRG's EnergyROM, very stable 6.5, been using the june 30th version with a couple minor cosmetic issues, which i do not even remember what they are.
EnergyROM works also great and stable for me.
My experience was different from most those posting here. I found the 6.5's buggy. Third party calendar programs are particularly problematic (reoccuring events not even showing, to name one problem). I wanted to like the EnergyROM's... really I did... but alas, I went back to 6.1. So far, I'm experiencing stability with NATF v4.7 and liking it. I won't go back to the stock ROM.

Hi, have used PROven_ROM_2.4_WWE_Manila_TP (it's WM6.1) - very good,stable and fast.
Then got Energy 3.0 50409a MSVC Raph (wM6.5) and I'm absolutely happy with it. Didn't encountered any problem so far, NRG28 does his ROM's in top level-very professional!
If you want a clean ROM with very little battery usage go with RRE's or Da_G's for absolutely stock. NRG's uses way too much battery, I enjoy charging once every 2-3 days rather than once a day but to each his own..
The most stable and bug free ROM is the latest HTC official ROM. As Da_G said in other thread, there are serious issues in 6.5, so there is no such thing as stable 6.5 ROM - eventually you will face with unnacceptable bugs, like some of XDA members did...
Like what? I don't see many if any bugs that hinder my day to day activities in 6.5, it runs smoother, it's sleeker and unreleased to the public giving it that extra "shimmer", and the built in scrolling effects are just amazing.
What bugs are you speaking of??
WHAT???
pilgrim011- There is a bug free version of WM?
When did that happen?
I too like the energyroms.
I put my crap battery life down to not having found a decent UK T-mob radio yet rather than the rom

dwmackay said:
I was on the 6 hour flight and decided to play with the phone a bit out of boredom. It was locked up.
No problem soft reset. Continued to lock-up.
No problem, PIM Backup, Hard reset. Then the keyboard would not switch to ABC from 123.
No problem, switch to another SIP. It would hold the change; it kept switching back to the ROM default. No problem, just use the hardware keyboard. A couple of great days in Ireland and it was time to take a quick phone pic to send home. Camera would not work; missed the moment. Fiddled with it a bit, could not get it to work.
No problem, hard reset and try again. Camera works now, keyboard seems to have fixed itself, but phone turns off randomly.
No problem, flash another ROM I have on my storage card. Everything works now except the phone. It has a signal for 5 minutes, then no signal for 5 minutes, over and over.
No problem, switch to manual network selection, could not access the settings.
No problem, hard reset. Works fine now. Ready to take a quick picture at a golf outing where I did not lug my Nikon around. Phone has turned itself off again, missed the moment. Time to surf up some quick directions, IE locks-up.
No Problem, switch to Opera, takes forever to load, my sister already has the directions on her damn iPhone before opera even loads.

OK, don't get me wrong, there are things that I don't like - low in-call volume, TF3D is sometimes behaving weird etc., but there is always a .cab or .reg to solve these issues, and to tell you the truth, there are no serious issues with HTC ROM, phone is stable and solid as a rock. Of course, Energy ROMs are way faster and more pretty than official ROMs, but I prefer my battery life, stability etc. over speed, beauty and bugginess... And I don't want to flash my phone every 5 days.
Fair enough pilgrim011
Btw has anyone found a work around for the word completion on the keyboard that actually works regardless of wm version???
For what its worth I love/hate wm6.5- I hate that everyone now thinks that we have to have icons because we are too thick to use menus, if I really was that thick I would have purchased an iphone!!!

I recommend the fastest bestest most stable rom out there.
and I thought the reason we have all those iphone-alikes was so we could be almost cool enough to have an ibone. err.. iphone.
Well, by the time I work out all the bugs and install all the cabs such as Cleanup, earpiece volume, BT repair, weather locations, advanced config.....
I'm REAL concerned some of these won't work in 6.5 PARTICULARLY the Ear piece volume! One of the the worst stock phones I've ever owned for volume. Quite honestly, if not for the ear piece volume boost cab I would have sent it back.
Anyway, I'm concerned that these "fixes" won't work in 6.5 when "officially" released.
Anyone else considering skipping it? Anyone want to shed some light on whether these cabs work on some of the cooked ROM's? I'm guessing if they do, they should work on the official release.
Anyway, chime in!
I think I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach to the 6.5 upgrade and then decide if it's worth the trouble.
I haven't seen anything compelling that will make me upgrade... If by some miracle HTC includes TF3 2.5, that would make it more interesting, but if not, why bother?
New 6.5 features

My opinion
TF3 2.5 wins, but is N/A
6.1 programs tab wins (Don't like the honeycomb)
Draw (If I am mostly in TF3 anyway, what good are 6.5 themes?)
Draw (Nice features in the new lock screen, but S2U2 is advanced and works well)
Haven't seen much on this so hard to evaluate
Opera/Skyfire by a landslide
Nice to have, but incomp. IMHO. Later builds of 6.5 look much better that what is currently out for the TP2
No advantage obviously.
So all in all it is an incremental upgrade with a few nice to haves, but I would probably end up using the HTC sofware much more than anything WM 6.5 gives me so I will certainly be waiting until all of the bugs are worked out and I get something that I want out of it. Am I missing anything?
Number 4 is one of the things I'm most worried about, I really like S2U2 because it's so useful beyond a simple lock screen, it allows me to take a quick peak at my text messages or emails or missed calls, also I like the feature that allows the wallpaper to change at random from a specified directory. If anyone knows if it is possible to disable to 6.5 lockscreen so I could use S2U2 instead.
Also, I've heard that 6.5 memory handling is better if that's true that might be enough to push me to upgrade.

Thanks for the comparative. Problem with us phone junkies(I really mean me unless the shoe fits) is we are constantly searching for the next latest/greatest thing for our devices. I'm sure most of us have trialed the various cooked 6.5 roms on other devices. Most recently tp1 for me. It was fun and interesting to have something on my phone that most everybody else did not. I'm the phone junkie in my group. Again, it was fun to try them out and I'll maybe do it again when hspl is out for cdma, but I hear more issues than goodness coming from those who have already flashed the "official" ROM from HTC. Maybe when the various excellent chefs get ahold of it they can stabilize it a bit more.
I'm very happy with my tp2 running the stock 6.1. When I need something different I just tweak mobile shell 3.5. It can give me a whole new look. The various cabs and tweaks for the ms and the tf3d are very nice. So boredom is not a factor when changes to the ui are at my whim and fingertips.
And I'll surely get flamed for this, but [the titanium interface is one of the biggest pieces o' shats I have ever had the displeasure of installing and whoever in the hell came up with that crap must have surely been on crack.]
(end of titanium pos rant)
Side note: I'm now hearing that along with some stability issues the new 6.5 htc rom has battery life issues. Hmmmm.....whats to like??
I like SPB 3.5 too, but had to abandon it after I found out it knocked out my conference calling and all the shortcuts/icons while in call. Seems those are only supported my manila.

My earpiece volume is fine, which surprised me since my right ear is the one I use most often and it's hearing-impaired (untreated).
Perhaps instead of complaining about the phone itself you might have your hearing checked or use a bluetooth earpiece with higher volume, since the speaker would be sitting in your ear instead of on it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. With customizing cabs and TF3D, any advantages for me personally from 6.5 have been overwritten. Unless something in the future won't work on 6.1, I may not upgrade at all.
Half way house to remove bloatware
The most significant issue I would like to address would be to eliminate the carriers bloatware from the Ex ROM to free up more memory. If there was a cab to do just that I'd be keen to stay with running the stock ROM as adjusted by Clean Up etc.
Anyone come across anything like that?
Don't know if this cleanup would work for you... but you might want to check it out anyway.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88640
That is the "CleanUp" I referred to in my post. In my opinion its an absolute "must" if you are running the stock rom (remember to choose the right carrier variant) but it does not attempt to adjust anything in the Ext Rom which i believe is where all the carrier specific software sits - which for the most part you have to pay extra to use.
Thanks for pointing the "clean up" out though!
Some people are talking about voice command working over bluetooth under 6.5 where it does not work under 6.1. I personally have not used this software but I'm interested in it. I suppose I could download it and play with it to see if it adds any value. I believe it is $30 which is way beyond what I am willing to pay for software at this point... Anyone have any experience with it?
The stock Voice Command (Sprint) works fine for calling numbers or people in my contacts and starting programs. It does not work at all for announcing in coming calls and only announces email and text messages through the phones speaker and not the bluetooth headset. That's been my biggest single complaint with 6.1 on this phone. I need it to announce incoming calls in my headset. That alone would most likely be enough for me to install it. Paying $30.00 for something that's already on the phone and most likely won't work anyhow don't make since to me.
If any one has a fix for the caller announce problem, I'd love to hear about it. I can't find a solution except to wait for 6.5.
Just noticed how old this thread is. Since it began I've tried several 6.5 roms and am now pretty much settled back on the 6.1 oem verizon stock rom. I cannot find anything that compares for stability, speed and great ram utilization. For me the forray into the 6.5 rom world was fun, but ultimately a less productive device was my result. To each their own, but IMHO verizon hit a home run with their stock rom this time.

I agree. I have also tried several 6.5 ROMs including VZW OEM. I keep coming back to the OEM 6.1 ROM because is is more stable, less of a memory hog, and I found that the OEM 6.5 ROM just didn't offer anything new.
Yep
I have to admit, never tried 6.5 ROMs, just kept reading the reviews hoping to seen one without issues. SPB mobile came out with a newer release and all my conference calling and in calling buttons started working again. SPB is great!
