Re: Is it MY TP2 or do others have problems with cooked ROMS?
 

try this: SMS Lag Fix.cab
i think they tracked it down to the counter display that shows how many characters out of 160 are used. once they dropped that out i literally type with no lag at all.

I too had issues with custom roms. However i found the app that was causing it all. But since i must have Lotus Notes Traveler installed, I went back to 6.1.

One thing i found though.... if i removed the storage card from the phone... everything worked well. So in my limited testing, it seems that the new 6.5 roms use drivers that don't work nicely with this particular app (Lotus Traveler). At this point i have to wait until IBM/Lotus release a 6.5 compatible app.

ETphoneHOME,

Thank you for the enciteful post. As this is my 3rd windows mobile phone (following the progression of the Touch), I understand what it means to be buggy and not to expect everything to work as we all would like. I am still simply wondering why everyone has had great luck with the cooked ROMs working at least to a point where there is better function/speed while mine only seems to have problems that cause it to be non-functional at all. It just makes me question if it is an issue with my phone??

I can only imagine that the Sprint release will too have bugs, but ones that will be able to work around rather than resort back to the stock ROM as I have found myself having to do each time.

Have you flashed to one of the 6.5 2.1 ROM's from a chef who is on Sprint? There's a few out there, you can test it you're having problems on those ROM's without having anything else loaded. If so, maybe it is the phone. Are you having issues on stock? I'm on sprint and have had no issues with MM's official release, Mal's ROM, CFays or JD's, mms works, texting is fine, etc. Can't tell you about 2.5 as I don't want to have to deal with bugs and since they're porting over more and more from 2.5 to 2.1, I'm fine with those. Give 'em a shot and see what happens, kinda trial and error.

Edit: taken from Achilles signature: Loving JD's 6.5 Rom(Sense 2.1) - Everything works off flash, no fixes need for MMS etc!! Very impressed. If you are on sprint and like stock sytled 6.5, this has to be it for you!! Oyeah.. and it's FAST.

I have tried sprint roms, but haven't tried JD's....will give this one a shot.

Thanks fishingmedic!

When you flash a custom ROM...you have to expect issues on some level. Its whether or not you're willing to live with them...OR whether or not you're willing to work those issues out (cooking your own.)

No one pointed a gun to your head to flash a custom ROM. Custom ROM's are often labors of love by the chefs in the community...providing us all a glimpse of what the device is TRULY capable of...a trip out to the bleeding edge. Most of the issues can be fixed by a simple regedit, or installing a cabified regentry.

I'm curious about the "official" WM6.5 upgrade from Sprint...but I'll always go custom because as good as the stock may be...it is NOT always as good as the device CAN be.

Re: Is it MY TP2 or do others have problems with cooked ROMS?
 

Im in the same boat, I cant run any of the cooked Rom's most wont work and the ones that do are so lagy with everything. I had Juicys R6 and it would last a week or 2 and just stop running. with most roms I dont even get to install any other programs. So your not alone!!

Re: Is it MY TP2 or do others have problems with cooked ROMS?
 

me too, the ROMS i have tried are either slow or lock the phone... UGGGG!

Re: Is it MY TP2 or do others have problems with cooked ROMS?
 

I also have a Sprint TP2, I have the SIM unlock and use the 1.40.00WF


When I first unlocked it I had a lot of issues that were related to the radio rom I was using. The 1.40 radio has given me the best experience, I also updated the PRL.

As far as cooked roms, I tried half of them out there but I always come back to MM official.

Also if you haven't done so, before you do a custom rom, flash the stock sprint rom, then flash your custom rom, REMOVE your SD card and use the clear storage tool. I know it sounds stupid, but I can notice a difference if I don't do this long @$$ process.

Re: Is it MY TP2 or do others have problems with cooked ROMS?
 

I've had some problems with the 2.5 ROMS and I always flash back to stock and then hard reset before each new ROM. With Juicy it would work fine for days and then either Manila would just not load on boot or it would not completely load, the task manager would never appear and it would be extremely sluggish. Another issue with Juicy was that after a few days my Yahoo mail account would decide to try and download my entire email box instead of just the last 3 days of email which would crash the phone because all the program memory was exhausted. After three times of that I moved on.

I tried Energy for a week but it was just too sluggish overall even though I liked all the eye candy. It did not lock up though so points there.

Mighty War has been the best so far but I did have an issue after about a week where Manila would not load on boot. I hard reset and it has been fine for about another week so fingers crossed. I think with any of the 2.5 ROMS there are going to be Manila issues but I like the interface enough that I can live with occasional hard reset.
