Taril's ROM successful... but phone is slow as hell

[Guest davildee90]

I purchased an Omnia through Three (Hutchinson Telecom) in Australia.

The previous version was

PDA: i900MBHJ3/MBHJ3

PHONE: I900XXHJ1

Due to the relatively low battery life and etc, i decided to update the ROM on this thing. Looking at threads of other Australian forums, I noticed that the Singapore ROM worked best with Australian Omnias, however many people were having trouble updating to it.

One of the users kindly psoted up a method of doing this, which was upgrading through Taril's method, and downgrading it to the official Singapore ROM.

My first attempt at Taril's method failed, as I was foolish enough not to realise that the Samsung modem driver was a necessity in this process. After getting the

Port Create retry (2)

Port Create retry (1)

Port Create retry (0)

Download failed!!

Message, I did some research, and downloaded the samsung modem driver and had another go.

I was able to update the ROM this time, however, after completion, MY PHONE IS SLOW AS HELL.

It seems like I'm running 10 programs at once... I'm scared to update it to the Singapore ROM yet.

What did i do wrong??

Yes I found Tarils rom a little laggy too. Shokka's rom does feel faster. You can give that a try.

I also successfully updated by downgrading the rom first before upgrading again.

No need to fiddle about with silly preconfiguarions, registry editing or Hexdexing the updaters. I spent 2 weeks trying those methods and none worked.

Downgrade then upgrade worked on my vista using VMware install and windows xp sp3. However VMware is only a trial version and I'm afraid I won't be able to upgrade of change roms in two weeks when the trial runs out. Spending 200 US$ for it is not not an option! Help!

Thank you so much for the quick reply guys!!

But it seems that the Taril's is only slow straight after the upgrade... It seems smooth now

I will definitely give other ROMs a look :excl:

Again, thank you~

Did you hard reset after the first boot? You need to do that.

Install ROM

Turn on

Configure calibration and skip all the other bits

Once windows has booted fully do a hard reset

After that, things speed up completely
