Cooked WM 6.5.5 slower than 6.5?

---

Hi there!
I am new to TG01 but i have a few obseravtions. After flashing some cooked roms i see that WM6.5.5 is slower in certain situations that original 6.5.
Especially I mean start composing new sms message from shorcut "Compose" in WM Titanium. In 6.5 it is very quick, but 6.5.5 it takes some time to open "new sms" window. Also I think that scrolling start menu is a little more laggy in 6.5.5. Has somoene noticed these facts?
Besides I have small question. Is 6.5.5 capable of rearranging icons in start menu using drag&drop? Unfortunately I have not succeded to do it.

To move items in the start menu, touch an item and hold it till it "lifts" then drag and drop.

Never noticed much speed difference between 6.5 and 6.5.5, but then i wasn't looking that hard.

I second that.

However, after your post, I have tested the speeds on both systems. I think it majorly depends on what rom you are using. Stonrom, AragOn's rom and ffBoy's rom - are fine. They don't give any lags. So is Novembre and Nokser's roms. I am not sure if 6.5.5 (non-cooked rom) is better. But I am so far impressed with cooked 6.5.5s for TG01. Especially the once that have Sense cooked in as well.

Cheers!

Yesterday i noticed that after 2 days, my memory went down to 33 MB, with no application running:/ I am using clearRam app, but it does no thelp with memory leak. I think I will install 6.5 instead...

i think a lot of it is perception... when the phone was box fresh new i didn't really check on RAM figures & my perception of its performance...

.....but once i started downloading ROMs it suddenly becomes important to me..

i have a 6.5.5 ROM (doesn't matter who's) & i've seen some terrible RAM values within system settings

that said the system has always soildered on merrily away as if nothing was amiss

i also have a hd2 that (as u prob know) has 448 of installed RAM (vs 214 on the Tosh?)

i've never used all that HD2 RAM up in normal use... but i've seen it run loads slower than the TG01 whist doing comparitive tasks...


This is a good idea for a thread

I second that! TG01 gave me way faster speeds on custom/cooked roms than HD2.

But I am sure that 6.5 was faster!!! It was like a lighting! I must check cooked 6.5. Maybe it is 6.5.5 core that is slower? Maybe this is due to diffirent pagepool size?

Why don't you try a benchmark to prove your feeling? SK tools for instance. That would be very useful for all us

You are right, i will do it. But does it have test suitiable for this?

Hi there
I have done some benchmarks using SPB Benchmark and SK Tools. I will post it later but my conclusion is that 6.5 is faster in benchmarks. Also I googled a lot for results in this benchmarks for TG01 and HD2) and it seems like HD2 was much faster in benchmarks - especially in graphics using GDI.
May someone do some benchmarks too? Then we could compare our results.
I have recently installed spb + mobile sense and I see that it is quite laggy - especially in sliding homescreen (only from left/right to right/left !) and in calendar. Without mobile sense spb is working fast enough. Can somone confirm it? What i see is spb is using OpenGL only in carousel view - and in other cases using GDI which can be laggy for TG01. But how TG01 which is based on same proc as Hd2 can have different results? Not-opengl graphics processing is done by processor i think.
