Hi there!

I played around now with nearly each german ROM provided in this forum and thought it would be a nice idea to share my conclusion so far:

My requirements: a rom that is
o reliable
o stable
o fast
o economical

My conclusion:

o Tejaks V5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2348896&postcount=125)
o Radio ROM: 1.65.16.25

I really tried about a dozens radio ROMS / each german ROM and realized that a good number of them seems to suffer from the "battery drain" bug which makes the device unusable for my opinion...

My actual configuration like stated above (ROM and radio ROM) contains around 50 installed 3rd applications and uses only - tadaaa - between 1 (!!!) and 5 mW during standby (measured with battery status). Note: other ROM/Radio ROM combinations used a lot more (from 50mW up to 200mW and even more in standby!) <-- so much for battery usage / economy

For stability: I had NO call disruptions at all (not like with the newer radio ROMS) and got my GPS fixes pretty fast. The ROM never hanged so far.

Skype works! (I dont know any other german WM 6.1 so far)

Igo8 works!

I cant provide a benchmark so far - but this combination gives me the very best feeling related to speed.

No german keyboard bug!

No backlight timeout bug!

No camera bug!

So if you are german and wondering which ROM / Radio ROM you want to use - give this one a chance!

(PS: This is just my very personal impression of the avaliable ROMS... I give all my respect to ALL of the cooks - you all do very valuable work!)

Hi!

Thanks for the information. I installed Teijak's ROM yesterday - my first impression is very good (fast!). My only (little) concern is about the amount of free RAM (I guess because of the pagepool size?) - but let's wait and see.
The official HTC 6.1 ROM was really disappointing me (unstable, performance very different).

HI,
just change the PagePool Size to Dynamic with the Page Pool Patcher Tool. And you will get ~55 MByte Free of RAM. And the Device will going to be awesome fast ;-)

What i miss in this cooked Rom is a pre installed VOIP configuration and the Live Messenger.

I completely agree with licht77!

first, yes I am a nooby. But never-the-less I managed to flash the V5 yesterday night together with HardSPL 3.59. Radio is 1.65.16.25. Before this upgrade I was running the official HTC 6.1 upgrade.

I have changed the page pool to 6MB. My impression: this ROM really rocks!!! Even with this low page pool it is much better than anything I run until now.

Teijak, keep the good work running.

BTW, I am located in the Munich are and Vodafone customer...

Cheers.
