View Full Version : Why is WM 6.1 so damn SLOW?
Hey,
Every WM 6.1 ROM I installed is really slow in reaction and menu.
K's rom for WM 6.0 is so much faster.
I want to use WM 6.1 but its just so slow.
Is that everyones experience ?
What am I doing wrong?

Why don't you post your issues/problems on the specific WM6.1 rom thread you have tried. Maybe you can get advice on how to resolve your problem/issues.
I've tried all WM6.1 roms out there, and i would say they're all faster than the WM6 roms i've used before.

I would agree with greatbal, used a number of WM6.1 ROMs and they're all quicker than WM6

I tried a couple WM6.1 roms and ended up going back to K's roms.
I tried CKC's and Pays WM 6.1 and they are very slow compared to K's so I just gave up and going to stick with WM 6.
WM 6.1 doesn't have anything special to it anyways...
I've used all of K's ROMs and currently using CRC's 6.1 ROM. My impression is that the 6.1 is a little faster than K's. However, I can't say that feature-wise, one is better than the other. I could easily go back to K's ROM without loosing functionalilty.
My ROM selection is based on what is included (or not included) in the total package, which is cook specific.

My own experience, based on the few 6.1 roms I've tried, is similar to exxi and esmith. I haven't seen the boost in either performance or functionality that others comment on.
My two cents.

Slow?I don`t agree.I`ve tried a few WM 6.1 and they were all pretty faster than the fastest WM 6.0.Only problem is they are not yet very stable.Hardreset and a few other issues.So maybe you should stick with WM6.0 for now.

Hi I just changed ROM from Original HTC 6.0 to 6.1 and I have to say it really seems to be slower... Whats the problem?

The problem's probably just that we're all working with very ealy versions of 6.1. When the chefs with the most in-depth knowledge of how to combine the given files with the most suitable and useful drivers and other bits and pieces I've no doubt most of us will find 6.1 better.
I've played with some 6.1s but for now 6.0 is generally more stable.
Until then, I still use mattk_r's compilation of 6.0 with 3.60 ROM.

I do think that "speed" depends more of free memory than OS. I've tried a lot of WM 6.1 and some are very fast, as the one I'm playing with now :).

hi guys, i also agree with greatbal. I am on wm6.1, it is faster than wm6.
Especially on Core Player movie playback. stable and smooth.
For boot up speed, actually we can disable startup animation of HTC logo or something with schaps advance config, it will save about 5-8 seconds.

People on WM 6.1 that are finding it faster are you using anything (hacks, reg edits, etc...) for speed boosts of any kind?
One person said they found CRC's WM 6.1 faster than K's but I found it slower than K's...

I've used CRC's and Schaps Beta...I'm now using Pays 3.05 Lite...and it is VERY Fast and VERY stable...no speed hacks...no registry tweaks outside that are found in HTCustom.

I had pays rom, and I think it was very slow and I need to frequently charge my battery. Now I am running on faria r32 and it is great. Stable and very fast. Only Internet explorer is little bit slower.:cool:

What radio are you using? I'm using Pays 3.05 and Radio 1.47...and I get excellent battery life...and the ROM seems snappy and responsive...and I have alot of programs running.

I use 1.54.30.10 radio. Circa a week I use faria and my battery is better than was on Schaps. (cca two days, but I everyday listen music with bth a2dp and browsing net with wifi). With pays I had to charge battery everyday, now I have to every two days at night).

6.1 is good if you like your ROMs lite. The more 3rd party apps, the slower, and buggier things get.
Most 3rd party apps weren't made to work perfectly with an unrealesed ver. of WM.

I use CRC's ROM, very stable, very fast, especially for synching with ActiveSync!

I tried a few ROMs now and in my experience the WM6.1s I tried are all quicker in response than the WM6 versions. However, it does depend *alot* on the apps you load into them. Some apps have problems with WM6.1 and also the free resources of your Hermes do matter.
Try a light ROM and install nothing for starters, then step by step move your preferred apps in. You will notice the difference.
My two cents.. :)

Generally 6.1 is faster than 6. Kin0Kin uses a 6mb page pool and a file cache to speed performance, additionally it is an exceptionally well built ROM. This means that after opening a large number of programs those programs will run faster but you will have less memory available to open other programs. In implemenation I have never run into a memory chrunch while using K ROM final. That said if you take a 6.1 rom, set the page pool to 6mb and setup a file cache (I believe K uses 4 MB) it more than likely will be faster than K Rom final (if it is a well cooked ROM). However you may just want to wait for K to release his 6.1 rom when it is out of Beta (still kinda buggy) promises to be blazing fast and to have a visual overhaul. It will be a while before another K rom is out though, he had a lot of things on his plate.

All my wm6.1 gave me problems too (except CRC's release 9). I guess wm6.1 was not intented for a device that has below 64mb of ram(hermes). so lets just stick with and improve wm6.0.:):)

I am using CRC's release 9 WM6.1 rom and it is much faster than any of the WM6.0 roms I've tried. Also, I could never go back to non-threaded sms, it would be too painful. I've also not had any serious stability issues with WM6.1 with a full host of 3rd party apps. Maybe it's just CRC. :)

Has someone tried TNT ?
If one was to work I would bet on his...

mee too i'm also using CRC's release 9 WM6.1 rom and it has been great so far, but lacking some other cool features i miss from other wm6.1 rom's which are slow.

I am using a combination of CRC's XIP unmodified (so not bigstorage) and the clean latest Pandora; Not a single problem except BT pairing with devices that have "0000" key.

I've found that with the 6.1 ROM, you MUST set pagepool to something higher than 6MB. 10-12MB works great!
I'm using TNT's 6.1 Pro ver right now with pagepool set to 12 and I feel like I just bought a brand new phone. It's blazingly fast!

And how much free memory do you have on start up with a 12MB pagepool?

It seems like the WM6.0 roms ARE faster than 6.1
But i love the thread sms
Im soooo torn
I think Im gonna check out TNT's rom and play with it
If it works then great if not I may go back to wm6.0
And download the treo sms app
Its not as pretty but at least the threading of the sms is there
So far i have tried CRC's I am running now and it seems a lot of times my device locks up
i do run a lot of apps
TCPMP8.1, Cingular Mobitv, Cingular XMradio, I use the close all apps frequently but my wifes Wing was the same way, All 6.1 roms were slower so i put heres back to Tmo official with spb mobile shell and she loves it.
