Hello,
I would like to know if there are performance impacts of using a cooked ROM with a lot of plugins even if I don't use them?
Example: I have a cooked ROM with M2D but I disable M2D to use SPB Mobile shell.
Would it be better/faster to have a lite cooked ROM without M2D or doesn't make any difference?

Ok I have done quite a bit of trial and testing before posting this and feel now is the time.
I have installed and tested a good number or custom WM6 roms. See list below:
NBD 7.9
NBD 8.0
NBD 8.1
NBD 8.2
NBD 8.3
NBD 9.0
NBD 9.1
OCTAIVOI's Wizard 3.2
OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.5
TNT 4.0 Professional
Black Diamond 2.0 Touch
faria-htc wizard...WWE WM6 ROM- [the real thing]
Windows Mobile 6 - Titanium 2 (WM6Ti)
I love flashing new WM6 roms and testing them out but I also rely heavily on 3rd party software that I have to install after the flashing is complete. For every one of these roms mentioned above, I have experienced performance issues(slows down to a crawl) when installing larger amounts of 3rd party software not included in rom.
On thie flip side, when I install T-Mobile's official WM5 rom and then install large amounts of 3rd party software, the performance of the phone isn't affected in the least.
What I would like to see, is a custom WM6 rom with the performance of WM5 after installing large amounts of software. I believe the only way to do this is to change the page pool to 12mb because other than software installed, the pagepool is pretty much the only difference between these WM6 roms and and official WM5 rom I downloaded from T-Mobile.
Here is what I install on every rom I use:
Wisbar Advance 2
Palm Threaded SMS (WM5 or WM6 depending on what rom I am using)
Inesoft Address Book
Resco Explorer
Resco Registry Add-in
Resco Keyboard pro
Batterystatus
Weatherpanel
Chronos
Coreplayer
For WM5 roms I also install:
Touch WMP skin
HTC audio manager
Touch syle dialpad skin
10 button comm manager
When I am running T-Mobile WM5 then installing all of these programs does not impede the performance of the phone whatsoever but every WM6 rom I have tried to date has slowed down to a crawl when installing this software. I dont understand why... It just does.
Right now I dont even have all of my software installed. This is all the software I have installed, not already included in rom:
Wisbar Advance 2
Inesoft Address Book
WM6 Palm Threaded SMS
Thats it and it is running so slow I can't stand it...
of course will find WM 5.0 more stable than WM 6.0 if you install all of these 3rd party apps, WM 5.0 compatibles with all the Apps listed, not like WM 6.0.
- What you have to do??
- find the app effecting on WM6.0 and replace it with newer version (if available).

That sounds like a good idea but when it comes down to it, most of the software I use isn't really available for WM6 yet. For example: Wisbar Advance 2 and Inesoft Address Book.

i didn't read correctly, are you using Inesoft Address Book!! it is the most effector on the system (at least WM 6.0).
we are looking for many of 3rd party applications we are not really using them, so revise yourself and check out the most important apps for your really using and install them, test this thing for a week, then you will know which important, the stability or too many apps .
thats not means i'm not a 3rd party applications user

I am going to try installing Windows Mobile 6 Titanium 2 again and install 1 app per day untill I find the one that is killing the performance of the rom. Thanks for the idea.
I have an HTC branded unlocked Kaiser in the UK (Currently on T-Mobile)
It's still on it's original install, it's a bit clunky at the moment, but it was a bit slow on the screen updates to begin with.
At some point I will definately put a custom ROM on there - I don't want touchFLO or any fancy gimmicks, just my spb suite for the front end and multimedia stuff so I can play divx will do.
I just wondered how mature the ROM kitchen was for the Kaiser. Is it worth going for the rebuild yet? Would it become much more responsive or is that mainly down to the rubbish graphics drivers?
Oh, and also, once I have it all set up and extra stuff installed (eg TomTom activated), what recommendations do people have for backing it up to an SD card so that in the event of a wipe whilst away from home, I can have a reinstalled OS with TomTom already activated and installed?
I'd go for a Lite ROM either Alex's or Dutty's.
Alex_'s UltraClean ROM now with NetCF 3.5, SOD/XIP fix and SmartDialing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349354 and
Dutty's Hybrid NO.7 NU-Skool Lite Rom RTM.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351058
Make sure you have first installed HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=53280&d=1191643466
Then install the duttythroy HTC_ConnectionSetup_1_0_31002_1.cab
this will detect your T-mobile connection and setup the correct phone settings..
These ROM's will make your Kaiser fly!!!!
hey everyone
first of all i would like to congratulate Dr. Martin Gonzo for his amazing ROM.
now, since i've seen that many people have already tried and are currently using his rom, you definitely have some of your other apps instaled
what i would like to know is:
wich apps do you think work best with the Windows Mobile 6.1 version
or that you find them practical or indespensable
if you can, put a thumbnail of you 6.1 screen
would like to see come cool backgrounds with the 6.1
please share the links if possible
cheers everyone
there is a best apps thread here for wm6.0.
i guess it should be pretty much the same applications for wm6.1 also.
Check out the CHome Configurator. It'll let you customize your sliding panel home screen easily. Here's the link to the excalibur thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104
Total Commander, Its got to be the best Freeware File Manager for Windows Mobile. It allows you to work with files in ROM unlike File Explorer, allows you to edit the registry and even has an ftp client built in.

I'm new to this forum and to flashing the ROM on my Wizard. This is a fantastic forum with a wealth of contributions, though it is rather daunting for the newcomer.
I have experimented with a couple of WM6.5 builds (RC4 and newer Beta), a 6.1 build, and the original 5.0. I find WM6.5 to be rather unusable. WiFi doesn't work well, TouchNFlo is intermittent, and everything is dog slow. 6.1 seems a nice upgrade to 5.0.
Are others having a similar experience with 6.5? Is it too much for this 3 year old device? I'm not sure what the advantages are, other than personal taste for user interface.
Another question (and excuse me for perhaps not doing a better search)--if I find a build I like, but want more than the "clean" version, can I easily add the missing pieces, such as Manila 2D?
Thanks everyone!
Hi! Glad you joined! With regards to your question....WM6.5 officially released on October the 18th so until then all of the WM6.5 builds were based on betas and RCs which usually have bugs and what not which usually end up being slow anyways...there are several 6.5 builds based of of the final/ release version which run fairly quick . WM6.1 has been out for a while now and is the best go between for WM5 and 6.5 as of right now and its highly recommended by me! Im not telling you to (because you should research and pick one on your own!) but i used X2Hs NSN WM6.1 with Manila 2D and it was blazing fast so you should look into that!Cheers!
Maybe try to overclock your wizard? I got H3r's WM 6.5 rom on my wizard. Overclocked to 260 Mhz, about 29-30 MB of free ram after reboot. It works better than some 6.1 roms i tested.
I installed X2H's new "iphone killer" WinMo 6.5 ROM and its BLAZING FAST even without overclocking.... i highly suggest you look into that!!!!!

in fact there are some cabs to add m2d (4 ex) htc home, etx.
and yes im using the iphone killer (wm6.5 based) and is really fast, no need to overclock (i think is no worth to overclock since the wizard work flawless with iphone killer and some others i have tried be4)
but 6.5 have a flexible interface so you wont miss the m2d (i prefer the htc home) but 6.5 is very nice..... and of course if you go to spb shell page there you can download very nice demos and get the best.good looking-funcional interface.
good luck!
p.s. send pm if you want more tips

Over / under clocking iphone killer rom
Hi there, how can you use dynamic over/under clocking with the iphone killer rom?
Download Homescreen++ and deactivate the Windows Standart Desktop Interface an select Homescreen++
Hello,
I think about flash ROM, but I want to hear your views on ROM, which has come out, if I do have meaning or not.
Are newest ROM better then original WM 6.0??
Thank you for your opinions and advice
6.1 is probably the best.
runs great, no bugs, fast.
6.5 has newer features, and a much better interface, but has a bit slower response time, and uses a bit more ram.
when you go to install one of them, try them both out. it only takes a few minutes to flash, and it will give you a better idea of which you prefer.
and how it is with sms?? Can I restore it in WM 6.1???
can you post links to download WM 6.1?? But no lite edition or edition with x-apps...i need normal edition...
thank you
You can backup your messages with different tolls like Sk-tools or SPB Backup.
The WM6.1 ROM you will find here (http://rapidshare.com/users/PJNMEM/?byfilename=1&password=&subpassword=) at the very end of the page, it si called:
Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar
How can I backup sms?? With spb backup, please heeeelp, or sk tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
that would be another easy way, just install the cab, ... select the things you want to backup, and where to, and it do it.
this would be an option if you want to move everything to your outlook --> http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
or in case you want to backup it online, use MS Myphone
once you installed one of these things they should be mpore or less selfexplanatory
good luck
resco is the best backup and restorer of contacts, messages and stuff, imo.

Windows Mobile 6.5 professional (UNOFFICIAL)
