Hi Stilian PILI, I am not quite sure as to which ROM you are referring to but the Oops Black ROM is a minimalistic ROM that does not have a lot of 3rd party software on it.

But you could always try and install it seperatly.

Hi Richard, it sorta depends on why it stops. Does it give an error message or does it not upload the ROM to the device. If it's an error message then it's very likely that you did not install the UPSL software yet. You can get that from here What I know from Vista is that it does not use the ActiveSync tool anymore. I know of some people doing it with other devices, you can read it here but can't give any promise that it will work for the HTC P3300. I hope this helps you along a little bit.

The images where taken by the creator of the ROM, I presume he used a virtual cell phone to do this. When I ran it I had an unmodified 200 MHz P3300.

Comparing it with the other ROM’s I tried it was the quickest, even compared to the base WM6.0 install. You could try overclocking the P3300 to 242MHz by using the battery manager. It will make it slightly faster but the batery life will drop. Also you might want to keep a minimum of application’s running at the same time (but that’s true for any version). Every program you start in WM6.1 keeps on running if you press the ‘X’ button.

I noticed that on your image of the Black&Blue 5.0 ROM that your P3300 has 400MHz processor and more memory than my T-Mobile MDA Compact III. Are they build to these specs out in Australia ? I installed Black&Blue and it’s a little sluggish playing things on Audio Manager. Could you recommend a ROM of WM6.1 that is really basic to give me the best performance? Thanks for all your other info very helpful.

This is probably because you have not installed the UPSL before installing the ROM. If you install the USPL (you can download it here). After installing this try installing the ROM again and it should work.
