htc hermes lag???

[ezsoulja]

the problem I have is anytime I open anything theres a lag of 1 to 3 seconds at times. when I type it takes 1-2 seconds for it to catch up with what I had typed. its getting real annoying and don't have much programs open, is there some kind of tweak that can fix this. it would really turn my productivity up ten folds... thanks

yea dude, flash a new rom, what happened is your windows directory got loaded and is slowing down the preformance on your entire ppc.. some of the newer roms have fixed this.

but se I had recently flashed over to crc's 14.1.

when you open file explorer and browse into windows directory. how long does it take to load?

[ai6908]

CRC is usually fully loaded, hence it will be slow. Try a lite ROM and see if you have any performance difference.

this could thoretically happen on a light rom also, if he were to install allot of apps that are heavy on installing to the windows directory.

Agreed, performance goes down once you start installing many applications or quit flashing for a few days:D

Wasn't it with CRC's roms that Odd numbered roms were the stable roms and even numbered roms were in developement? :confused:

Could be using a developement rom that has a few bugs to be worked out....

Cheers...:D

Just use CRC r13, its stable and more performance than r14.1

im currently running now 13.0 stable but still the same, is there something within the registry i can do or something or could it be the auto word completion thing?

i do have quite some software on my phone but majority of them are utility programs that help me clean and or tweak my settings.

i dont wanna crank up my core speed as that will already kill the juice of my battery of what little i do get out of the day,:eek:

[ultramag69]

Use advanced config to make sure you are running with .net framework 3.5... I found a few of the newer roms have it listed as "disabled"...

I can confirm this slowdown. I tried different roms with and w/o manilla 2d interface. Recently, there has been a weird change in the codebase that causes an extreme slowdown in some applications. For example, I am a regular POWDER player, which is an awesome roguelike game. a month or two ago, I had no problems playing POWDER. But the last few roms gave me great trouble. Now the game freezes every 5-10 seconds for a few seconds. I know there is something wrong with the roms because the game is the same game I played 2 months ago. And I don't install many applications to use /windows directory. actually, I install almost nothing and this slow down hits even without installing any applications.

I always use naked roms, but recently there has been a serious lack of them. The reason "may" be the sort of bloated roms. I just hope that somebody comes with a truly naked (.net only) rom so that we can test this hypothesis.

I guess I found the source of the problem. fonts. extra fonts.
One of the programs I install by default after every flash puts three different fonts into the \windows folder. I renamed these fonts and restarted the pda. The annoying slowdown when playing POWDER is now almost gone. Once in a while it still gives me a short freeze, but these freezes are not as frequent as before. The game is much more playable now.

[burkay]

by the way, when I was wandering through my windows folder, I realized that there are an enourmous number of youtube files in it. How unfortunate, because I never use the youtube application. Appearantly, too much storage space is wasted for a program that I never use. I will definitely consider a non-youtube non-manilla non-htchome ROM for the next flash.

here is a very naked 20924 build for you to test your theory on dude! it's still beta but will be release soon

downloading... it is sort of late now to flash and test but I will do it first thing tomorrow morning.

ok, couldn't wait till morning. I have been testing the rom for last hour and oh God!... this is the best, fastest, most stable ROM I have flashed in a while. I installed my regular set of software and it is still lightning fast. the windows directory loads in under a second. Probably something like 0.3 seconds!!! All applications are so responsive and everything works so fast, I am finding it difficult to not to cry. Let's see what will happen after a couple of days. But seriously, my hermes hasn't been this awesome for the last two months.

the links not working

[ultramag69]

Look around, there are a heap of Lite roms available at the moment... Try Darkvision or Tai_SW's rom... Just to name a couple...

[carcomp]

I'm following... so heres my idea. I'm not gonna flash my phone just yet (I got a good rom working on it), but...

Can someone either point me to an ultra light rom that has titanium home, or possibly explain how to get titanium onto a non-titanium rom? I know thats like asking "how do you build an engine" or something, but is there a good starting point?

All I want is a rom thats fast, has titanium home, and has the Touchflo 2d phone skin (for big fingers).


P.S>. Why do roms slow down over time for no reason? I've noticed the latest crop of 6.5 roms run good for a day or two, then start going REALLY slow. I can't nail it down.. I try Oxios but it doesn't help. I'm not installing anything either. The honeycomb gets jerky, the "red end button" starts getting a lag / not working at all, etc.

Thanks.
