Very slow since I upgraded

[Romano2K]

Hi everyone!

I own a HTC P3300 and I used B&B 3.7 for a while but I upgraded to the official HTC WM 6 ROM a few days ago. It's sooo slow. I understand that Tom's ROM is a little bit optimized but it can't be that slow with the official ROM.

There are 1000+ files in my Windows folder, is it normal?

Thank you for your help!

I noticed a significant speed boost from the official WM5 ROM to Tom's WM6 ROMS. Since WM6 is per se more resource hungry than WM5 (especially if you use the Office applications), I can understand that the official WM6 ROM must be quite slow. Besides, the official ROM has less available program RAM, so it can run less apps at a time before getting very sluggish.

I haven't tested it though, so I don't know how slow it should be. When you say it is slow, just how slow do you mean? and how much free program RAM do you have?

Yes, sadly.

See the attachment for the memory usage (screenshot made just after a soft reset).

For instance, after a soft reset, I need to wait 3 to 5 seconds between the time I tap the screen (on the start menu, on parameters, on the system tab, ...) and the time it moves/appears.
It's fast just after, but it seems that apps must be in RAM to be quick...

It wasn't that way with B&B!

Yeah I tried the official release also, but I changed it back to a cooked rom very quickly:D
Once you get used to the speed of the cooked rom, you can't go back.
The great cooks take out all the unnessecary stuff, they change also the page pool, no extended rom installations, newer builds etc, etc... That's why you get more ram and more speed.
My advice is try Meschle's Vanilla 2.0. You will be amazed!:)
