CUSTEL, any ETA on when you will be releasing your CUSTOM ROM for 2.17? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Just wondering. I love your Alltel ROM, and it lasted the longest on my Mogul.
I love the look of the HTC Home, and the way you integrated the Media player both into the HOME menu and the Today Screen via the HTC pluggin. Now that I have 2.17 ROM update from HTC....it comes loaded with all ofthe sprint crap (Sprint Store, Music, etc....) that I don't need...
Just wondering...

digi's version 1 ROM based on dcd's 161 kitchen

I've enjoyed dcd's work since I first found his Alltel clean ROM. Really made my Mogul run like it is supposed to. After I saw the dcd kitchen was released I started customizing it to the base I need start loading my own custom apps.
I've changed a few minor things and added these apps:
Wktask
Quickmenu
HTC Home
HTC Audio Manager
HTC Camera Album
Ledkiller 3.1
Pocket Rar
Some of the applications are customized a little bit to what I normally use. This was built with Sprint as the carrier in the kitchen.
DISCLAIMER: If you don't know what you are doing with flashing your phone then don't bother with this, you are responsible for your own actions here.

The only thing I noticed with mine the other day was I had switched my phone to roam only and it locked up my phone again after an hour or so. But I've had issues with setting it to roam only with every single ROM and radio version I've tried.

Installed Kaiser HTC Home and PICKED UP RAM?!?!?!?!

I have dcd's GPS rom and radio loaded...seems like I was resigned to having 17 megs at startup.
so I loaded HTC Home Kaiser version and now I have 19 megs at startup.
imagine my surprise! couldn't see how this was possible....Then I ran some software that required GPS...CLOSED that software...now I'm back down to 17.5....
Could the Kaiser Home Plugin be stopping the GPS thingy from loading at startup?
You probably not pay attention to it, I installl DCD rom I got 24meg, if you see 17meg. After HTC HOme, i get 22meg. It sound like after you use a while, memory leak, and you check the ram. Try to hard reset and check ram immediately
I have always had HTC home but I made the choice to remove it in order to achieve the 24.4MB of ram after soft reset. Even after a days usage it may linger as low as 22.3MB. It seems this 3.16 beta rom doesnt fare well with Today plugins and truely un-necessary startup programs.
Even though my today screen doesnt look as glamorous, it is about overall functionality & stability and while I run GPS in the background, listening to tunes in Audio Manager while playing Freecell, this is what I opted for...

DCD 3.1.2 Problems

Well I have had to do a hard reset and one flash in the last 2 weeks. I am beginning to lose my mind I guess.
The first time after I did the install.The phone works fine for a few days, then it Sloooooows down to a creeping level. It would freeze from time to time and would take forever to open a program. I thought PhotoContacts Pro 5 caused this. So I did a Flashed after the phone froze all the time on the Splash screen just about to load Windows. But after that I reinstalled all my programs and it worked fine for a few days then it went back to freezing again, taking an eternity to Open any program. And mark you, I did not install PhotoCOntacts this time. I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything again, and since yesterday, it's been doing the same thing again. My Ram is always free, like 10- 15 MB left when running. Coz I use one program at a time. So, please what could I be doing wrong? Am I skipping something. I never had this problem with dcd 3.0.4.
Any insight is highly appreciated.
Thank you

Well that's it, I know it's a lot , but they all use to run in Harmony
With that big of a list, your best bet will probably be to load a few at a time, use it for a couple of days to see if the problem recurs, so you can narrow it down. There are some programs that don't play well with 6.1.
I also notice you say you have onenote listed. That is already included with msoffice apps in dcd's kitchen. Maybe installing on top has caused a problem with this or some other app?
Yup, limit down on the apps/util that always have a process running -- ie. HTC apps & the cube. Plus, a lot of your others often have a today item running, so close those down.
Most of us go after no less than 16-18 MB (or better) after a re-boot. With you at only 10-15MB free, you have plenty running that the rest of us choose to do without.

I have used most if not all of these apps except for PPC-6800 (not sure what it is) Hers the ones I had to cut out.
HTC Home - seemed no matter what version i used it ate speed and memory. I use the time/date format on the top bar and wisbar adds battery status. I use pocket weather with custom skin as thats primarily what i used the home plugin for.
HTC Taskmanager (X-Button) - phone ran much better without it, had better luck with wisbar lite of full.
Yahoo Go - I have never had this work well, on any phone...
HTC Cube - While it may not continuously eat ram, it does use 2 to 3 meg after you fist use it. I use the GL version and close it with task manager after using it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102&highlight=cube
Voice Command - If it is the MS version it uses 1 to 2 meg and can lock up. Generally i don't have problems with it but it does consume ram.
One I see you don't have that caused me issues was Schap advanced config util. After i ran it i wouldn't be able to answer incoming calls among other issues.
Another question would be; are you syncing e-mail? how much and how many accounts? I have found if i sync less days it helped with stability(although its probably just me). I sync to an exchange server, gmail, and yahoo.
i've had a few issues with 3.1.2 that i didn't have with 3.0.4 either. Radio is still the same i had on both builds..i'm using 3.37 from Alltel's OEM Radio/Rom. I haven't quite researched how to update to Radio 3.39 from my SD, so that's why i'm still with 3.37.
My problems are these:
1) Anytime i'm in Roaming and get a call, a big screen comes up and says "Roaming Charges May apply". I've never had that before.
2) When i'm on the phone and someone calls in, the loud call waiting buzz comes up, but if i ignore it, and let the user leave a voicemail, it cuts my current call off. It seems to do it worse if/when they leave a voicemail.
3) When i'm on the phone i was under the impression that data was knocked off. I've never had this problem before, but now if i'm on the phone, my phone shuts off if/when an email comes in.
4) GPS isn't even close. when i flash back to 3.0.4 it's right on. For some reason with 3.1.2 it's 20-30 miles off. Really weird.
5) Weird again because this shouldn't be a Rom issue, but my signal is totally lower than it was with 3.0.4
no biggies, i can go back to 3.0.4 because it was very solid, but here are a few of my issues.
Thanx everyone
Edit:
I decided to wait a whole day and see, after carrying out all the advice I was given. Well the problem still persists and still takes long to open programs. I have decided to go back to 3.0.4. That was more stable for me. Hopefully it will let me downgrade.

Couple questions, s2u2 and htc home related

Ok, now that I've had my phone for like 5 days. I am wondering how to do a couple more things to it.
First off, I got this used and it was completely as it would be from Sprint. Since then I've done the following.
1. Installed WM6.1 Update from Sprint
2. Installed Picture Mail Feature from Sprint
3. Installed Oxios memory app
4. Installed HTC Home Plugin
5. Installed S2U2, S2P, S2V
6. Samsung Omnia 3d Driver
7. Kaiser 10 button comm manager
8. Google Maps
I'm sure there might be a couple insignificant ones I am forgetting.
What I want to do, if possible is...
1. Make favorite contacts screen in HTC Home Plugin act differently. Right now if you push one of those contacts it goes directly to calling them and starts dialing. At the least I'd like to make it NOT auto-dial.
Ideally, I'd like them to link to the screen you get when you browse to them thru contacts, where you get a choice to call or text them.
I'd definitely settle for it not auto dialing though.
2. S2u2 I am having a slight issue with, when I receive a phone call, s2u2 bugs out. The screen flickers back and forth from the s2u2 screen and the today screen, and I can't unlock the phone to answer the call. I can only hit the talk button to answer it.
I'm running the latest version, are there any compatibility issues I might be running into.
3. Lastly, I am always looking for good suggestions on other applications to add. If anyone knows where I can find a good texas holdem game like the iphone has, that'd be cool.
What is the Sprint picture mail feature you speak of? It is an official release from sprint???
And I've had trouble with s2u2 as well. I just stuck with version 1.18. That seems like the most stable one for me.

my phone just got real bad to the point it would freeze when i tried to reply to texts. I never had an issue until I installed and used the no2chem nueled thing to get rid of the constant blinking light...wonder if that messed with it.
I ended up re-loading the htc wm6.1 sprint rom.
I couldn't figure out what else to do there.
Sprint picture mail is available from sprint, the default sprint page that loads when you open IE has a link to look for new applications, then its in the free/demo section.

[Q] Where to get ROMs to try?

Hi All,
I would like to try a better ROM on my HD2 (Tmous WM6.5)... any suggestions and where to download?
BTW it was running really slow for some weird reason so I flashed stock ROM back on and my MobiTV stopped working
I found the mobitv cab here and tried to reinstall it, it immediately upgrades to the latest file from MobiTV then it says cannot authenticate user. WTH...
But anyway I'd like to try a few ROMS since so much work has gone into making them...
Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
Artemis & Energy are worth trying & near top of threads on link above, Energy being my favorite & a superb WM6.5.x experience.
Do read up a little to make the install & user experience a smoother task.
very cool thanks I got a couple of the Energy ROM's. the install says to install hardSPL first
update: I have SPL 2.10.000
cant install now go find what to do to get to a compatible SPL....
update 2: i installed HSPL 2.08 then an energy rom, looks great! i installed mobitv, and the program just freezes when started. any idea why?
update 3: just installed skype and it too wont work... mobitv and skype my two favorite apps grrrrr any advice appreciated!
update 4: got skype working by going to internet browser first (wake up internet data connection?) mobitv still dead, jim
Skype has setting for connection type used when started, wifi, sim data ect so this needs adjusting to your requirements & will save need of triggering data via your browser.
As for Mobitv I am unsure as have not used it as for AT&T network only, could be your version only runs on genuine AT&T rom & need a modded version to run on other roms, do a search on NRG rom thread & see if you come up with anything. I will browse later & if see anything relevant post links.
Hi just an update, I did install one of the Energy ROMs and it looked and worked AWESOME! Many thanks for the help here to get that going. My HD2 on/off button died and the screen wouldnt respond, same as the last one. I bought a button strip off the web but broke the HD2 trying to get it apart to do the install despite following the youtube example. I wont buy another HD2 since the lower right button is obviously defective and they wont back it up.
Waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note to come out on TMO-US, and meanwhile I picked up a Dell Streak 7 with Android 3.2 and a monthly sim card for data. I cant receive calls (except on skype) or SMS, so I bought a cheap walmart flip phone and when the Note comes available I will try that, even though they are EXPENSIVE without contract!
Also, of COURSE the Streak's honeycomb 3.2 wont run TmobileTV but it does run skype nicely. I find it odd that there is TmobileTV for 2.2 and 4.0 but not 3.2 but whatever.... :|
