I have gone through roms galore and I have completely given up on TF3D. It's gimmicky, and functionally a time waster. I could care less about eye candy... I want a lean machine for a TP... not some clogged up, sputtering glamour phone.

I have resorted to disabling TF3D and just working with the default desktop for WM6. It's the fastest and most functional option for my situation.

How many of you guys are just using the default WM6 home screen? Have some rom suggestions?

Edit: I'm currently using Sceptre Rom which uses the Point UI front end (it was a little better than TF3D). I have disabled the Point UI and i'm just using WM6 default home screen now.

Any suggestions why stock opera blows everything else away? I tested it several times, with stock/ssk going back and forth. Anybody else observed similar result? PRLs, opera version???

scott...your ROM's are great. I've followed you since Mogul days. speaking of which, my son still has a Mogul. Do you have a link to you mogul r4r or do you have it somewhere? I'd like to reload it on his Mogul.

Thx

I do believe that if a chef puts time into optimizing installation/boot sequence/video tuning this will be reflected in overall speed as well.


I think they are, at least partially.
Update - see this - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=57282


This would be somewhat duplicate to video test. Video playback speed depends both on filesystem speed and video driver. Lags in video driver slow down UI as well.


I did not want to separate browser version and connection performance on purpose - this way it reflects real world speed better.


Whatever is in boot sequence.

You really like 20954 huh?

Have you tried my new SSK2.0 Final? Its sick. Wll, you can see the scores.

Scott - yes I have, it was good, but not as good as 20954. Not as fast. Plus I still prefer the OEM selections in your 1.5 kitchen the most.

Here is the big thing that 20954 does that very few other builds do. Except, it's not really a "big" thing, but I notice it and it contributes to the overall sense of speed of the build. Most builds, when you open a folder in File Explorer that has a lot of files in it, the files dont appear all at once. Rather, the 'fill in' from top to bottom. It happens quickly, but it's still not instant or all at once.

With 20954, you open a folder and the files all appear simultaneously. Yes, eve \Windows\. There is no 'fill in' effect.

SSK 2.0 was good but it did not instantly populate the files like this, and overall I saw no improvement or benefit compared to 1.5 build of 20954, so I flashed back to that and restored from a backup.

I have tried so many builds and so many different roms from so many chefs but this one just wins. I will probably only switch up for a really good 6.5 rom. |||bored|||'s 21222 (kitchen) was the fastest 6.5 I've tried so far (also tried 21202, 21500, 21501) and I ran that for a bit, but overall it still wasnt any better than 20954. For a verizon phone this is the best rom! 75 MB free RAM on boot and retardedly stable! I almost feel like going door to door like a jehovas witness to share the word of this rom....
