I agree with you 100%, I have tried Ivan, Helmi, Kamal, Midget_1990, Laurentius26, Jwrightmcps and Viet....and the winner is "DARK FORCE"

But not sure which version of Dark Force to use? I have WM6_21002_WWE_11500, is that the latest

@moeaboelela
yes, its the same version i'm running too. Its fantastic! Works flawless! No resets ever since i've flashed it!

However, i feel that the response is not as snappy as the other wm6 roms though...takes a tad bit longer for menu rollouts etc. but, hell its as stable a wm6 rom i've seen so far! Zero phone/radio issues, no lock ups, no mem leaks....cant ask for more!

cheers!

Well, i'm just as keen as you m8 ;) They're truly the best out there!!! It was worth the trouble i took in searching, finding and flashing it with darkforce. I wasted a lot of time trying and testing a 100 other wm6 variants....all of which just didnt work for me....it kept crashing, phone issues blah! Got so tired, 3 days back, i went back to wm5 for a day! Finally got hold of darkforce and flashed it....wow! is it good or what???!! Finally a usable Wm6!!!

Do let me know if you find something newer ;)

Best,
San

it has radio 1.15....
in the ext rom, its empty! but by default, the ext_rom is open for read/write so u can use it as an extra 10 meg space on ur device.

the default apps it comes with are standard....different ones are - voice recorder application, adobe acrobat reader le, SAPSettings (sim access profile over btooth), and all latest versions of apps running. The phone application is extremely responsive and never takes a minute to wake up on a call etc. Click on "Call" it calls IMMEDIATELY, hit "disconnect" it doesnt take a minute to realise u hit the button! Thats what i like about it! The phone functionality is flawless which is very important to me!

Take the time, upgrade, i'm sure you wont regret it!

I have notice something strange !

When i recieve sms, my htc wake up and the notification came 30seconds later ...

But it's not the only thing neither the most strange.
When i sent a sms, i write it and then send it.
I turn off my htc.

After some seconds, my htc wake up and then nothing ! no notification !
I have check that the notification delivery are request in the option menu.

And there is another problem, when i recieve sms, sometimes, i have no notification at all ! Just the htc who wake up and nothing. I must open the messaging menu to retrieve my sms ...

Can someone help me please ?

Except this "bug", this rom is the best for me !

Don't think this is due to my radio rom because i try different rom, this is work perfect with the other and i don't change my radio rom still.

My radio rom is 1.09

I used this ROM for the longest time, probally the stabalist version of WM6 I've tried.

However as time went on it seemed to slowdown more and more, and eventually it started hanging on me.

Truely one of the best Roms. I have tried all and come back to this one.

This rom got some bugs, namely the keyboard backlit will on no matter the lightning conditions are and the backlight on battery mode can`t on after sometime :confused: :confused: :confused:

4th August 2007, 05:58 AM
I tested this ROM. Not really new. If you open About on Settings, you will see the year is 2006 not 2007. Also it says Windows Mobile 6 only NOT Professional. Laurentius and PDAViet are the latest. The best is Laurentius Video Call Works and we can hear the sound of other party. This Darkforce ROM with Videocall Patch is not working at all.

celestar32
4th August 2007, 07:29 AM
I just discovered a bug. When the backlit is off or rather sleep mode whatever. Any incoming call it will not ring and only I pressed the on button then can hear it rings.

Yeah i just flashed to the Laurentius rom, and happy to say its works fine..

The rom maybe older, but i like this because of its stability. The phone app is extremely snappy which is what i like it mainly for! I click on "Speaker ON" button, and before i realise it, the speaker comes ON, ZERO delay! I click on "End" button, it isntantaneously disconnects unlike other roms which need a good 3-5 seconds to disconnect any call! And most importantly, i dont need to softreset for radio issues all the time. My gprs/dpush works throughout the day....doesnt stop working forcing you to restart your radio...

so, those are my plus points which outweigh the negatives! The negatives are - the responsiveness of the device is not as great as the other roms for menu interactions etc. Menu bars redrawing takes a tad bit longer making it feel a little slow at times....again, not a show stopper....!

Cheers!

Glad Darkforce works for u :)

but for me, i personally found Laurentius rom boot time faster than Darkforce, and the bugs i mentioned before, also, the device close itself when didnt use and i miss some calls and smses

*Everyone is entitled to their own opinions :cool: * peace

4th August 2007, 11:01 AM
I still prefer 2.10 ce image made by PDAVIET. Although it is not as fast as Darkforce but rather less issue.

Same problem here. Besides, the backlight setting is not working properly. The soft reboot take long time and first time I thought the machine is dead. Another isssue is the charging. When I use my pc's usb to charge, I have to turn off the machine to get charge, which makes sense since the usb port in pc is not so powerful. But when I use a wall charger, I have to turn on the machine to get charge, very weird. I am not sure if it is my battery problem, but didn't find it in other rom. This rom also doesn't have the x-button. Other than these issues, this rom is fast and good.

After trying allmost ALL of the roms (WM5 & WM6) and experiencing different issues, I tried the DarkForce ROM. This is the first time EVER that I could go longer than a day without rebooting, as well as being able to install ALL of my software (SKTools, SBP Phone Suite, Weather etc.) without affecting the stability of the OS. Also, the memory leaks to about 15.5 Meg and then stabilises. I cannot wait for CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17944.0.3.1) ported to the Uni!!

Yup, the ROM however old was great & reasonably fast even when fully loaded with programs.

Unfortunately as you pointed out, I was not able to change from Auto (3G/UTMS) to GSM.

The downside is with Auto mode battery drain is is fast on locations where signal is weak - radio searches & switches between 3G, UTMS, & GSM bands!
