I have got 31mb free ram on boot.
It is quite fast.
Suggestion
What to ADD:
New office2k7
New HTCtask manager 1.5
Audio manager
Java manager
New Sim manager
And Smartskey(it is one of the most useful application)
What to remove:
Customer Feedback
Error repoting
(I think these two are the most unuseful thing.)
Thanks, and there is no extended rom, and if you plan one then move it windows folder for G4 support.

Java manager (Left out as my Rom is made for the person that like min but useful, and this is not useful!!!)
New Sim manager (Took out as pointless, as with pimbackup on the phone, you dont need to save your contacts tot he SIMcard)
And Smartskey(it is one of the most useful application) I left it ou as it is not need!!! But you do have the button mapping, but i would not use it for boasting the CPU
New office2k7 Thought about this, and i did put itin there, but took it out again as the new one does not give much yet, as 2007 is not so widly used for the lose of rom space!!!
New HTCtask manager 1.5 Well did not know of this update, so i guess i could add it Do you know what is better?
Well I did not add the extended rom for that reason!!! So maybe will have to put the MMS stuff back in to the ROM

I think its bricked...
It finished flashing... went off... n now it wont start back up again....
Removed the battery and put it back in... its come on now... whew!! it sure gave me a scare at that point...
love the splash screens....
here we go with the set up...
Customising now... will update one its done...

its fast for sure...
Lotsa stuff i dont need... t zones... tmobile customisation...
CPU usage stays low between 1 - 3%. Will update battery drain once it settles...
One can get rid of error reporting and autoupdate... both are useless tools for a custom ROM
Have always had a problem with memory leak and suspect its because of tmail.exe... i use a lot of mail... outlook, windows live and sms put together would easily be more than 200 a day... this seems to be leaking as well... am already down to 25mb within an hour but that culd be because its updating my outlook mail... havent set up windows live yet...
more updates will follow in the morning... my wife's gonna lock the room door from inside anytime now...:-/

Ya the t-mobile stuff is just for this!!! If it gets lt out it will not have this!!! And t-zones is not in the rom!

Runs Great, But Phone Ringers Are Corrupted On My End Which Is No Biggy Man. T-Zones Dont Need To Be In There Cuz For Some Reason It No Longer Works Anymore. Might be the reason because T-Mobile Upgraded There New T-Zones For HTC Wing But Im Not Sure Just Know That When you Check Your Account It Wont let you. Another One you Should Add Musicplayer Today For Alittle Bonus And Add The new HTC Taskmanager Like Everyone Is Suggesting. Just So it Could Look Like A Stocked T-mobile Phone. I Love The Splash Screens. Really Fast But There Is A Battery Drain I Noticed But Might Be Because I have to let the battery drain first cuz I flashed. It Is At 50% And I dont have no push email, GPRS, Internet,Wifi, Or Bluetooth Running. I Would Hate To see when I Use Them It would Of Probably Already Been Dead! I Also havent Installed Any Program Either Everything Is Still Stocked. Also Recommend You Put Some Sort Of Battery Task On The Today Screen Like HTC HomePlug So You Can Check your Battery Life. But Pretty Much After That Runs Great Keep up The Good Job. I Will Still Monitor The Battery Situation More!

First view
Hey Funman!
Here it goes to my results...
Top 10 Good points of the Rom
I liked the way you cooked!.
Clean, simple and fast.
It really is and I still didn't have to overclock! Nice!
Got 43.40 of storage and 30.02 of program memory. Ok for me.
Good Customizations like text reduced and folders
Top 10 Bad points of the Rom
Customer feedback and Error reporting could be really removed as it really means nothing.
Phone settings seems to be not working properly. When I tried to change ring tone and clicked OK button, I got nothing. I still kept on that settings tab instead of back to today screen. I tried several times without luck. But I think is just a little thing coz you may get away from that just clicking on today icon and choose today itself.
Noticed duplicated task manager: programs\accessories\settings and in start\settings\system folder.

Total commander. I prefer Resco Explorer

In an overall and as my first impression, I loved it! You did a very custom ROM without a lot of craps and just cooking basic and usefull apps. Good job.
I'll keep going little more now installing my apps. Let you know what happened after that!
Great day Funman!

OK
But Java manager is useful as sim manager, not at the time but may be required in future coz there will be programs that will require java and same for Sim manager. But this is your choice, im just trying to make your rom perfect and complete.
And for new X button go here
im using it and it is very good no bugs.
And office2k7 is also essential coz there are new format (for eg: docx) which will run on new word only.
And yes there are two shortcut of taskmanager(dotfred), one is in programs/accessories/settings and other in settings/system.
Thanks

Where you heck are you seeing t-zones? IT is not in the rom!!! I have this running on my phone right now!!!
-No T-Zones,
-No Ring tones as I said above (just place a ring tone on your card in my documnets)
-Do you have a extended rom installed, as this is your problem with the batt drain!
I think i need to pull the rom and look at a coup-le of things, cus you should not be seeing t-zones for one thing! And i might move the extention to windows folder then you dont have the batt drain problem!
p.s Task manger is there two times out of design!
update: Ok I see why you had the problems with the ring tone!!! Cus you have not put a MP3 in your my documnet folder!!! The OS has put the default ones in but there are not in the rom!!! It must be a reg key or some thing I will look into getting rid! Well i looked at the ringtoens and i think the 3 defaults must be hard coded as i have not been able to find any reg keys that go with them.

Oxios ? Ok i cant remeber what this is?
Please can you give me screen shots of T-zones then i can see where you are seeing it!

Okay last night i flashed my Wizard.
This weekend we have Whitsunday festival overhere.
So give me sometime to test your rom.
I will post my findings tommorrow.

Question about ROM installation best practices...

Hi all!
I've been regularly testing new ROM releases by the gurus here at XDA on my AT&T Tilt. Each install has been everything from a "close to the brick" experience, to extreme jubilation with new found speed and features. But, one issue keeps re-occuring and I'd like to ask what the best practice is for loading a new ROM image?
I ask this because it seems that each load brings new oddities and new problems that seem to occur due to past ROM images being on the device. Like right now I'm playing with a clean AT&T based ROM. Strangely though the HTC home screen is not included with this ROM, yet after the first load, whamo! the HTC home screen showed up. It was not in the installed programs list, so I couldn't easily remove it. And installs (to create an image that could be removed) failed a number of times before it worked enough to change the installation.
That's just one scenario. And I've had a lot more in very interesting ways. Like for instance, Battery Status 1.04 Ext has a seriously stong liking to my phone. That program I'd like to keep, but it's odd that it is always there, no matter what I do. And usually in some odd state that makes it hard to use until I pound it hard enough.
Also, the time seems to odd too. Every other ROM install, I'm forced to reset the time on the device at initial startup. Otherwise the time is just fine on the even number of installs.
So, what's the best routine of tasks to complete to ensure that a ROM installs as cleanly and problem free as possible. Is there a way to "clear" memory properly so nothing is left over? Dutty once helped out by suggesting that I install the OEM shipping ROM first before anything new. But that even doesn't work 100% of the time. Any suggestions are very helpful.
Thanks all for the Great ROMs. I'm having a great time playing with all the new features and abilities you guys give these awesome little machines.
Scott

weird...
The only things I can think of are obvious, but here it goes. Have you tried hard resetting / clear storage before you flash a new ROM? Are these programs being installed from your computer activesync or something? Have you tried removing your memory card?
Good Luck

Is there a way to get the storage v program allocation slider from wm2003 back?

Hi,
Well as the title says I find it really annoying that the slider in the memory panel has been taken away. I had one in windows 2003 and it was very useful and helped a great deal with the speed. I store everything on a memory card anyway so I might aswell allocate all the available memory to programs, I know this will have a huge impact on the responsiveness of the device.
I'm sick of how slow the hermes is. I had a choice of ppc's and i chose the hermes because I thought it would help..it doesn't. i was better off with full screen keyboard, i refrain from opening the keyboard because it locks up when i do. even after a hard reset and it only has 50% resources free.
I met a girl on a train a couple of weeks ago and she gave me her number but as i'd been listenin to music the thing locked!! it seemed to take sooo long. i had to do a soft reset, it was so embarassing. has anyone else had bad moments like this? i remember another time i was on weekly parade ( im a reserve soldier ) and my phone decided to turn itself off silent and it beeped, that got me in trouble.
so has anyone got any other tips to speed up my phone? should i research different roms? does the performance vary much? im running schaps 4.31, and i refrain from flashing as i cant afford to brick it but if it will help, ill have to learn how to do it again.
p.s. is tcpmp still the best media player? i need one that supports the most codecs and formats. i'm tryig to stream stuff from my winows home server. is there any plugins for whs?
any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. sorry for going off topic a bit, maybe i should've made 2 seperate posts.
thanks

1. the only way to use RAM for storage is via RAM disks. They, however, may be wiped upon restarts. See my related articles.
2. TCPMP is pretty old; CorePlayer is way better in many respects. Check out my multimedia-related articles.

Free RAM issue!

hi there...am a big fan of the vox....but the problem that i face after say 2-3 days of continuous use is the memory leak. it has abt 22 mb free when i soft reset, but after this time, has less than 10 mb remaining. i shut down programs regularly, use the hibernate function on smart toolkit, and i use sk tools lite to use the memory free function. could anyone solve this problem? i read somewhere that a rom upgrade may solve this issue. tried the htc website, it says the rom upgrade is not suitable for my device. can someone help? someone like dr. martin gonzo or frauhottellmann? r u there? my device details are below
CE OS 5.2.1236
Radio 4.1.13.41_02.88.90
ril version 2.002
Pls tell me which ROM is the most stable, if i need to update any thing else too that is available on this forum/ I have photo contacts pro v 5.05 andfacade 1.4.10 running in the background.
Oh i forgot. I use smart toolkit too
The ROM is 5.2.1236.17741
I would prefer a light ROM, as I dont use word mobile. I have documents to go instead.

Try fireburned's Clean ROM or fraun's Lite ROM, both of them are super fast and super stable .

Backup - some doubts
thanx.....downloaded it, will it work and install with my vox as per the details ive mentioned above?
my second query....im not too particular abt my messages and stuff, and ive just synchronised the data on my mobile to outlook ( contacts, tasks and appointments )....is this enough or must i properly back up everything else? pls lemme know. as ive never flashed a rom before.
also, will flashing a new rom delete the stuff on my storage card?

Search for PIM backup, that is a software which back up all your PIM information to Storage card, or whatever folder you wish. No flashing will not delete anything from the storage card. But be sure that you are not using Encryption on the SD Card.

thats ok...i have sprite backup with my phone. will have to reinstall it though/
my question is....is a fullback up necessary or will an outlook sync be enough? when i reconnect after the flash, active sync will set up a partnership again right? will that delete all the outlook data stored on my comp or will my comp refill the pim data back on to my device? thats what i want to know.
also, will the new rom significantly alter my battery life? am a doctor, and it may not be possible for me to keep charging my mobile when i am on rounds and so on

one more doubt, addicted2xda. will flashing one of these custom roms solve the memory leak issue? its driving me crazy. cant go 3 days without doing a hard reset. and how much will teh free memory be with say, fireburned lite rom?

Well after a couple of days you will of course have less RAM available. You always have to close apps in the task manager and use some RAM-free-up app! I use the function of sktools lite!

yes boss...i use sk tools lite too. but it doesnt make too significant a difference, with the end result that after say 3-4 days, memory dips to less than 8 MB, and voila! my phone hangs!
am now trying out fireburned's lite rom, seems good for now. lets see! any further ideas to minimise the ram leak?

Use the taskmanager - as frauhottelman said already - to identify the processes that grow over time. You can use the built-in, just change the view to "process" and sort by memory. WMPlayer or Audiomanager are memory hogs from my experience.
For debugging you may also want to execute "devicehealth.exe". This will create a decent summary of memory consumption to the root (or card-root). You may have to search for it (in the forum or or the web). It is a tiny tool from the SDK afaik.

have been using fireburned's rom, seems pretty stable. however, after doing a sync with active sync, the memory which was say 17 mb, dips to 14 mb or less. any hibernate function or say, the task manager or even the sk tools function brings it back to only about 15 mb or a little marginally higher. the more times i use activesync, the same problem occurs. say i use it three times, the memory lands up around 12 mb, after all programs have been shut down. and after using the hibernate function on smart toolkit. any ideas? did a search and found that it s a process called gwes.exe which hogs memory mostly. but this is guess is a system process and cant be shut down i suppose. any suggestions? ur take on this, frauhottellmann?

Still problem not solved!
hmm..tried using the ram free function on sktools. seems to actually decrease the amount of ram available!!! and with each use of active sync, the available ram decreases sharply. my wife has an imate spl, and the amount of ram remains constant around 25MB even after 10 days....anyone have any ideas? have read somewhere that it is a problem peculiar to vox. the problem with decreasing ram is, after 3-4 days, the dialler starts malfunctioning. i am able to make out the calls ringing, but no way i can pick itup. max, i can cut the call. it registers as a missed call....any body with any ideas out there? any way to cut the ram leak?
one more doubt,,,the old sk tools had an optimize wizard. the latest one seems to be lacking this feature. is there anyway that the active sync filesystem can be made read-only ?

Pretty strange. Are you using any third party software that may be causing the problem? Also note that after using activesync, it doesn't shutdown on its own. You have to manually shut it down to release the memory. Further try using the default home screen, instead of the sliding panel which comes with new 6.1 ROMs.
Because I normally have more than 20 MB free . No matter how long I have kept my device on.
Or better still, just reboot the device before going to bed .

yeah. i use photocontacts pro and smart toolkit in addition to microsoft voice command. and is it a good idea to keep rebooting the device daily? i thought the rom upgrade was supposed to fix that!and i love the sliding panels. the default homescreeen sucks

Sliding panel really drains the battery like hell. Its not a problem if you reboot your ROM daily. I flash my device (both), well almost once a week atleast . So that requires rebooting as well. I really don't know whats wrong, but I never had the RAM issue, try fireburned Clean ROM or fraun's lite ROM for a change and see if you find any difference

I have same problem with my htc vox

[Q] Query on what to do after rooting HTC ChaCha (Noob Alert)

I've been having this phone for a year, and I've finally had the guts to go ahead and root the phone. I now have super user application. I have also installed Link2sd and linked all the big apps to a separate ext2 partition in my SD.
My question is , now since I've rooted this, what all options are there for me to explore and try out, in making this phone better. I've seen about various Cyanogen Mods, CM 7, CM9, CM10. But they all seem to have some issues. But sometimes even simple issues may be blown out of proportion. I just need some feed back on how bad the issues are, or how good the mods are actually. Basically I want to know if the impact of these certain issues will hinder me in enjoying my android experience. And i couldn't think of a better place to put these questions to.
Summary:
1) What options are present to make my device better, now since I've rooted it?
2) What kind of serious issues are there with the CM versions, and whether i can enjoy the phone despite these.
PS: One more thing. in Link2SD , despite linking those Apps to the ext partition, the internal memory only has 75 MB left, and some portion of it is reduced everytime I install a new app. is it a bug, or I've done something wrong?

I was afraid of rooting first too, but now that I rooted it, it totally worth it. First, I installed hexgore's stock plus rom with some modifications and used it for almost a year, then I decided to try out cm9. It was a lot better, and had almost zero problems (everything was working except the front-facing camera). Yesterday I installed cm10, and it is even better than cm9 I recommend you to install cm 10.
For making your phone better, you can install One Power Guard, Total Commander (give it root permissions instead of java), Cache Cleaner and Super Backup. These are the rooted apps I use/have used in the past.
Your "problem" with link2SD is not a bug, it is how it is supposed to work. It links the apk, the dalvik-cache and the cache, but it does NOT link the app's private data, which then is stored on your phone's internal storage. And that is taking up space.
Have fun with your rooted chacha!

Thanks
Thanks for your suggestion, I have decided to give CM10 a shot. Now, can u please send some link of a guide to follow, in order to flash CM10 in my HTC ChaCha. Also, a guide to revert back to the current ROM in case I fall into some issue with CM10.
Also, I wanted to know, is there any improvement in the battery? Mine is a year old and lasts for about 11 hours max. Anything that can improve this would be of great help.
I had earlier gone through a post on modifying a system file with a # sign in front of a line which makes the battery better, but I was unable to figure out how to edit a system file(I've located it using Astro file manager).
And I cant post there, since the forum rules say that the user must be at least 10 posts old to post in the dev section.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Heyy!
I took ur advice and installed it, and there is almost no problem for me, I never use much of the front camera anyway. The thing is, the Keyboard backlight doesnt work when the brightness is on automatic. is there a work around?
Also, the prediction, as I mentioned in another thread, does not work good. there is no prediction as a matter of fact, no options come out for me to select.
One more thing is that I am unable to see a list of users to select from that and send messages to. I have to type in the name of each user and add it manually. Any work around or apps available to solve it?
