sampson's clean wm5 rom for titan - Page 16

The only reason I abandoned the Samspon WM5 rom was the lack of SDHC support for 6GB micro sd cards. I tried all the WM6 drivers and none worked. If I am able to find a solution for high capacity microsd cards on WM5 I will probably reinstall the rom as it was more stable than any of the WM6 roms.

Does it come with the sms and the mms fix installed already? The main issue I have is a problem where the mogul eventually jams up and doesn't wake on calls. This happens if I dont soft reset for a couple of days. I was wondering if the WM5 fixes it.

I'm using DCD 1.5.0 currently and am itching to try WM5 for the faster keyboard slideout aspect.

Anyone using this for the long run have some input?

I've been using REV01 for about a month or so. So far, it does everything I need, BUT I don't use BT stereo headsets or internet sharing. I have tried a bunch of the WM6 ROMS but all suffer from poor memory management (intentional or not). Finally, I can listen to a podcast AND surf with Opera or play a game. I don't notice any speed difference one way or the other. I'm not sure, but the WM6 ROMs may get a bit better battery life. Then again, it may be because I'm using my Mogul more with WM5, with WM6 I seemed to spend a lot more time rebooting. I'm hoping that the memory management will improve with the upcoming Sprint ROMs or I'll have to choose between RevA and (maybe)GPS or increased memory and stability. That will be a tough choice.

I flashed my Titan with this rom about 36 hours ago. This morning its alarm went off and was running clunky, so I soft reset and it hard reset itself and wiped everything.

I've read of this happening with this ROM, but I expected more then 36 hours of out it so your milage may vary. For what it's worth, WM5 ran pretty snappy for those 36 hours. Maybe it's a sign for the just-released 2.17 firmware?

Thanks for the update, sounds like I will wait for the 2.17 custom's.

I've had almost no problem with it. If you have a program that does a soft reset by software or you just pull and replace the battery, you avoid the accidental hard reset problem. My only complaint is the loss of smart dialing, but other than that it works great. I'll have a hard decision when sprint releases GPS/RevA if those are tied to the ROM, but for now WM5 is far better than the official sprint WM6 roms.

Been using this rom for over 3 weeks now and is a dream compared to winmo 6. While running oxios hibernate, I can always recoup 20mb or RAM no matter what and this is while I have S2U2, Wisbar advance 3 AND Desktop.

If the post above is true about SDHC though, I might have to reflash back to winmo6 soon
