How's that for incorrect ASSumptions? Go back in the corner and don't contribute to a thread if you don't have anything useful to say... (don't make me call a mod on your rump) Not that any of this really matters to the discussion, however I did mention this little quip: Quote:
In fact, I'm considering jumping back in if no one has tried this yet, but first wanted to see if it had been done, or perhaps there was a good reason it hadn't (directly tied to HTC hardware/drivers or something? Would the device perhaps not work properly without said "enhancement"? being away from the scene for so long, its hard to know...) Moving on- It seems that many people misunderstood HTC "enhancements" to mean Sense. Please, I implore you, read my original post more carefully. I'm talking about little enhancements HTC made to replace stock functions of Windows Mobile, such as this volume screen, the contacts manager and notifications. All of these little "enhancements" actually slow down the device in real-world use (try to enter a new contact from the dialer, and you'll see what I mean). Even "Titanium/clean" roms that I've tried still have these little enhancements cooked in, and I wonder if anyone has tried cooking a rom without them. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SENSE. AND I'M NOT MAKING DEMANDS. sheesh. I admit, I haven't actually tried that NRG Titanium rom someone mentioned, so I'll give that a shot.

Re: **ATTENTION CHEFS** HTC "Enhancements" vs Performance
This is exactly what I have been wanting more than anything. Give me a barebones Windows Mobile 6.5 rom.
It is possible as I played around with cooking a rom for a short while and was able to remove all the stupid HTC enhancements to no ill effects, but I stopped the project when I went to Sprint Official 6.5 on release. I don't have the time to master rom cooking, but I can agree to wanting a stable rom that runs just the basic Windows Mobile.

Anyone know where I can find the Caulkin's WVGA Kitchen? The unspace link he has does not work for me. At all.

Re: **ATTENTION CHEFS** HTC "Enhancements" vs Performance
1000% in agreement. Was on my way to learning how to make a ROM a few months ago thanks to some really great people here, but then life got in the way. When my phone started crashing again--embarrassingly enough, during a iPhone/TP2 show & tell--came here to go back to this project, but afraid the learning curve will be a bit steep.

Re: **ATTENTION CHEFS** HTC "Enhancements" vs Performance
...so I went and flashed on a custom, stripped ROM from the Sprint one someone suggested.
It has only about 50 MB of used memory, all the rest is free. It is quick, light, and responsive. It does not work properly on Verizon, as the kitchen came ONLY with the Sprint stuff, and running it without those packages eats the phone's reliability and causes some system settings to not function. It also came with the Leo Youtube, which is rubbish compared to the one that comes with Sense. My dillemma here is that I used the damn search feature and the only kitchen I could find is useless. All the others used Calkulin's kitchen, which has disappeared from the face of the Internet a long time back, and can never be found again. Unless someone can upload or point a link to the mystical Calkulin's Rhodium Kitchen, there is little hope for me to try a 6.1 kitchen. While I did find 6.1 ROMs, they are just as loaded and bloated as all the rest. The one with the best promise, the Bare Naked ROM, has issues with things working. Yes, I already tried BNR. No, it did not work for me. |

Re: **ATTENTION CHEFS** HTC "Enhancements" vs Performance
Wanted to add that Dishe has been around here a long time, and is a contributor, so the knocks he is getting are completely undeserved for an honest post. Also agree that DCD roms/kitchens were sublime, going back to the titan (talk about a memory-challenged device!)
My solution to the memory vs. features in the custom Roms is that if I know I'm going to be doing something serious with Opera, Remote Desktop, Document creation and so-forth, I just disable Sense and re-boot, and use the start menu. The taskbar is good enough during that time to let me know if I have messages/calls. This frees up plenty of memory, and avoids worries over the device freezing. Takes a minute to re-boot. BTW, running NRG 23673 cookie w/dinik. |
