I have come across references to the following tweaks in a few places. I have tried searching the forum for an explanation of whether these tweaks are effective or not, and what they might affect, and have not been successful. I wonder if any of the gurus out there could provide some info. I applied number II with HTweaC, and number V by altering the registry. The menu tweak works and speeds that process up, I'm not sure that I see any change from applying V. Is ther a simple benchmark to use? any info appreciated, thanks in advance.
I.
Increase cache: Noticable effect on WM5.01. Use any registry editor:
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
* Change 'limit' to 8192 up to 32768
* Close registry editor (Save)
* Soft reset
II.
Disable Animated Menu (I know, doesn't relate much with the KB selector problem, but it speeds up the whole system anyway)
Use Registry Editor:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu,
* Change "AniType" from default 6 to 0
III.
Use any add-on that close the programs for real, not just minimize it (SPB Pocket Plus, or PHM Free Utilities, whatever)
IV.
Increase SD card access rate:
Use Registry Editor:
* hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\mmc_class
* hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\SDMemory_c lass
Change both BlockTransferSize from 64 to 128 or 256
(I use 256. Don't know if it make the reading/writing process any unstable, but so far no problem for me ever. Plus I have backup, so why worry)
V.
Affects WM5.0 and can increase overall speed up to 20%
Use Registry Editor to change from default 0 to:
* [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] CacheSize = 4096 EnableCache = 1 * [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt] ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096
SOFT RESET
this quote is from xda boards. I also found referance to some of the above tweaks on htc wiki
missed this in the wiki. sorry. my question now becomes: wiki mentioned a risk of not having some items written to cache on sudden reset. Is this an issue? What is the risk?

I don't think they mean a risk as in a hazard, but rather the risk that it will just not be saved to the registry. Changes to the registry are not "written back" immediately - hence if you go for a quick reset then your changes will be lost. However, you can ensure a write back of new info to registry by forcing a write back. To do this long press the on off button until a warning message appears saying that unsaved data will be lost. Agree to this and device will turn fully off. Turn on again with a long press. This is simpler that waiting 15 mi nutes before performing a normal soft reset.

Hi all
As i read in polaris tweaks thread and more places in other forums in polaris should set in registry:
Increase font cache in HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit
Enable FileSystem cache in HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache
Increase FileSystem cache in HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize
Increase FileSystem filter cache in HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize
i tried many settings (i use Schaps Advanced Config) & used some 3D games & igo8 3D as "benchmarks"
(i.e in Virtual Pool when game starts table rotates in 3D can clearly see if its smooth or not)
so after i tried many combinations the best to set is
Glyph cache = 131072 (128kb in Schaps)
FileSystem cache = enabled
FileSystem cache size = 0 (auto in Schaps)
FileSystem filter cache = disabled
This way i have the most RAM free & 3D games run very smooth
This been tested in some real benchmark so we know official score what settings is best?
I use udk r6 rom btw/
Setting the
File system cache to 8MB, the file system filter cache to 131072 sectors and the glyph cache to 64 KB improves the HD performance appreciable.
Especially for Opera, MSBrowser, videos and streaming applications like Diamond TV.
Check it!
Remark:
1. We have a lot of unexperienced users here, therefore i recommend the use of a special programm to change the cache settings urgently instead of crashing the registry manually!
Additionally to Schaps ACT 3.3, MemMaid 2.0 and SKTools could be helpful, but sure there are others still around.
2. Read the complete thread, most questions and answers are given.
3. I recommend only the settings i gave in that post. To high cache settings like the later posted 30MB are not recommended. May be they have good influence to one application, but they do destabilize the whole system.
4. Don't look for wonders. It's just to improve some applications and could not change basic problems.
And how do you do that?

Use Schap's Advanced Config - that has all the options you need. I've made the changes, but have no benchmarks to prove anything...
vincent1 is fully correct. A very visible impact i noticed is on coreplayer, some videos have become suddenly very smooth!
Hey! this is the most performing tweak I've ever tried up to now. It impacts almost everything in the smoothness of operations - I tried different values in the past but apparently you really have to push them to the maximum to see a change....
A MUST!
oh yes, it's faster !
Does these tweaks affect negative battery consumption (increased consumption)?
OMG!
VERY noticable improvement - MANY THANKS!
Can I vote that this gets added to the Wiki under "things you MUST do"?
You are welcome guys This is a community, isn't?
You should not have an increased battery drain.
What version are you running:
Advanced Configuration Tools 3.3?
Advanced Config_v2[1].0.1.0 ?
Advanced Config_v2100 ?

But you will have an increased memory leak...
Correct, ACT 3.3 isn'n allways working in some points on the HD, but the cache optimizing could be done very easy with it.
Yep increased memory leak, but very small and on the HD to neglect
Did the same using diamondtweak, huge improvement. Memorry leak is about 10 MB overnight, so not too bad if you reboot your device every day.

10MB is quite significant in an 8 hour (assuming this is sort of average sleeping time) slot.
is it really worth it?
What exactly causes the memory leak - Windows or Schapps tool?

The exagerrated growth of the caches.
How many free memory have the HD at the end of the day(with this mod)?
How can I apply these changes to the registry without using shaps tool?

Increase font cache
To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Enable FileSystem cache
To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size
Increase FileSystem cache
To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Increase FileSystem filter cache
To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system filter cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Source and Source
Never had less than 90MB of memory left. So I do not care about 8MB over night. Better have a fast device instead jubilee about free memory I do not use anyway.
But to be honest. Not much of an accelaration with me. Already used the advised settings from schaps' tool. 2MB/4096Sectors/32kB

I think by increasing my TCP window size, I have significantly increased my EDGE speed
So the question is...what is a good TCP size for EDGE in fair signal strength?
I believe the default value is 65536
As per the "Advance Configuration Tool" - A larger windows size can inprove data connection throughput.
The is an option to choose a value of 98304.

Exactly!
I used 65538 for a longtime because anything over 64K (65536) winmo will automatically enable window scaling.
Introduction:
This is a mini-guide on some common edits to the stock build.prop to make it faster.
What is build.prop?
Build.prop is what holds the majority of the runtime flags that are used when android boots, think of it as being similar to config.sys on dos or environment variables in various OS's. It only holds variables, it cant run any scripts on it's own. Whatever is placed inside depends on android itself to pay attention to the flag and actually use it.
Entries:
debug.sf.hw
Controls hardware acceleration of some rendering commands
default value: 0
recommended value: 1
dalvik.vm.heapsize
Maximum size limit on heap for any one app

Can we put more than 64m in dalvik.vm.heapsize? something like 84m? Will it be safe?

From my understanding, there is a tradeoff with the size. the larger the size, bigger apps load faster, but smaller apps have issues. The smaller the size, smaller apps load better, but larger ones tend to have issues. So there has to be a happy medium.
