Speed up the Wizard

i have played around with Memmaid: There is the possibility to kill some running processes. I have killed the process srvtrust which speeds up the Wizard.
I have searched the Wizards registry and have found an entry in HKLM/init/launch80=srvtrust.exe
I am about to delete this entry since i have really the feeling that the device is speed up through the killing of the process.
Does anybody knows for what this service is good for?

hi,
i ve find this information :
srvtrust.exe - security certificate stuff, not sure if its required
here : http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache...id=1645+srvtrust.exe&hl=fr&gl=fr&ct=clnk&cd=2
It speed up at start or all the long of the use?

I tried and could not install new programs because of failing certificate. This process is maybe checking these certificates and therefore necessary ...

thanks it works fine ... and speed up my qtek
Just be sure to use cabinstall for next installation

hey man nice job , I have disabled that by adding a `- `to end of registry string same as ......exe- and restart .
really it speeds up at starting programms , but before installing new software should make it enable .
Thanx
PS. Actually it is anti virus-like application ,no need run in all time .

jasjar is SLOOOOOOOOOOW

hello there :lol:
i removed practically everything that i could remove from the ram , as well as the extended rom , i also removed memory indicators from today screen, and disabled error reporting.
i noticed A LOT of useless stuff in the windows folder , unremovable offcourse , (like a 4mb lost in 2 themes files ) .
also i noticed that u cannot reallocate ram (storage/program) memory through the elegent slider that was there before.
yet the major crisis in this device is the lack of a backup utility ... I desperatly need help about this , i couldnt find any third party software to backup system.
Is there any way to enable removing of unnecessary files in windows folder :?:
Device is still crowling ... PLease help ...

hard reset and don't install the customizations

look at the wiki, there's a lot of hacks to make you're jasjar run faster

I'm sure I am just missing them, but where are the hacks you mention that address speed on the Wiki? I am familiar with, and have used several of the ones there (i.e. MS Voice Command via Bluetooth Headset).
I'm just not seeing anything addressing the disappointngly slow speed of my Qtek 9000.

The Universal will never run as fast as you'd expect a 520Mhz device to run as the flash memory limits the speed (and the screen rendering will also slow down the device). You know my old Gateway PC from 1996 (200Mhz and 64MB RAM) was very impressive compared to my Universal when you look at the Universal's hardware!

upgrade to the beta release from imate, its fast
wiki registry backs to the menus etc will speed it up, better memory storage etc
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
a bit old but
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697
If speed is your beef, go the upgrade, its beta, but faster

still
i did the upgradde , and did not install the customizations , applied all the hacks , and it s still slow :x , the change was too little to b noticed ...
my goodness , what to do ... ?
p.S: what is the flash memory ???

there is no way it can be slow after that upgrade
everybody says its way fast, not just me
what extra software are you running? Was it slow prior to additional software?
SPB?

I find Jasjar slow too. Especially coming from XDA O2 IIi, it's much faster IMO. I considered myself to be very fast with PDA. But now, I have to wait for a few second before I could proceed to the next task.

9 mnths on what is the definitive best ROM out there guys?!

I'd love to know what is the best of the best . . .

have use the O2, Qtek and Dopod but not on the same versions but I would say that Dopod's latest version works really well for me.

could you te me why?
I switched from T Mob Bloat Rom to the Qtek one.
I'd be interested to hear why you think it is so good.
Anyone else got a fave??
lr

I have been using an O2 Rom from the beginning of the year, and it is so very slow.
So I am rather keen to know what would be the best upgrade too.. Cheers!

looking in the other forum it looks like the dopod is quite good - again no friggin idea why!!!!

well for starters, they do not install a lot of aditional items. The only item installed is Voice Commander and that also is removable. In fact, when you do a hard reset and let the configuration run, you get almost 39mb of ROM space which is a lot in my opinion. Uninstall the Voice Commander and you get some more if you want to. There aren't even any additional themes like those installed on the iMate.

pretty kool - isn't voice commander any good then?

well its not too bad. supposed it can read your unread sms but i have yet to test it out.
though some like microsoft voice command as it announces who is calling.
i guess at the end of the day, it depends on what you need.

From my point of view, Qtek-9000 rom (whitout ext rom loaded) is the best one. It's light-weight, compact and fast enough than others. With some registry/memory tweaks, this is the fastest rom i ever used.

could you share with us what are the tweaks that you used?

Find the CAB attached. A restart is required after the installation.
The tweaks included in the CAB is mostly collected from the internet. But carefully tuned to get the best performance from Qtek-9000 (ROM). Universal has only 64mb RAM so that I tuned the registry to balance max free memory and best performance.
You will have an option (Settings>System>Power) in the processor tab to set the speed either Standard or Turbooooooooooooooo!
Turbo provides more processing speed but drains your battery toooooooooo!
Enjoy! :lol:

what does turbo mode do ??? it does not change cpu speed, so , what does it do '???
thanks

And please do post a list of the tweaks you have in the cab. I thought I could choose which ones to run but I guess not.
If I uninstall your cab with it revert to the previous registry entries?

The Standard behavior of the XScale processor is to run in dynamic mode, which means CPU usually tooks less power and switched in hi power mode only when an application asked it. But in Turbo mode, it runs in hi-power mode always and as a result you are getting better performance.

Ranju: is it for T-mobile only? I tried to install it (Qtek 9000) but it was neglected. (can't install it). Can the tweaks be manually done? If so: what are they?

ok but that implies changing the cpu speed and that isn't happening

Had to restore my backup... I removed the cab, which didn't unistall it completely. Tried to run it again and it wouldn't install (because it never removed the files it put in during the 1st install).
I like what you did, and I would kill to have a UI to pick and choose the changes I want applied. Right now there's not even a list of what's in there, which is why I tried to remove it in the first place.
It's a nice enough idea though.

ok ,it does not change the speed but picodrive runs MUCH smother !! i'll try to do this "feature" with XCPUScalar2006_v2.98 so i can use "speedstep" to save battery

BatteryMeter or OMAPClock

Hi Guys,
Pretty impressed with this site, the dedication and commitment everyone here has.
Just thought to pick minds....
Which is better of the 2 clocking apps : OMAP (of which I could only find ver 0.2) or BatteryMeter , gives the best overall performance vis installation file size and continous use ?
Your thoughts please
AD10

I think they are the same thing, BatteryMeter provides the nice user friendlier interface that invoke OMAP (or you mean OmapClock?). For small size, OMAP is a command line simple tweak etc, but maybe difficult to set up, esp if you want it to be still around after suspending your phone. So, probably for start, try the Bmeter.

Don't you mean BatteryStatus instead of BatteryMeter?
Anyway, BatteryStatus, despite the name, has also overclocking features and has the advantage that the settings remains if you perform a reset. As far as I know, Omapclock does not.

Thanks guys,
Yes I meant BatteryStatus and OMAPClock.
I have tried both, and stuck to BatteryStatus - offers more information and seems to be constantly supported by Kai.

OmapClock and batteryStatus read different clocks
I used OMAPCLOCK to set the clock to 208 MHZ, however batterystaus, even not using its overclock function reads it as 221 MHZ instead.
Which one to trust???
Tks

I used OMAP for a while, but I was able to overclock max 246, now I use batterystatus and I OC to 286 without any problem. (Also BS has many more features over OMAP)

Uni speed and ROMs

We use the Universal for speech systems for people with disabilities. However the speed of the device is marginal for us, because the system itself uses a massive (30%+) fraction of the processor time even when the system is at idle.
I've just been asked if using any alternate ROM images might help speed the device up much, and I haven't got a clue. Help!
Does anyone know if any of the ROM images that are out there makes a significant difference to the speed of the universal? Is there a ROM image around which completely removes all phone functionality (not all our users use the phone)?
I'd be very grateful for any guidance, before we start trying ROM images at random...
Stuart

Hello, first of all, -and I'm not sure about this- I think that the ROMs images are not available at this site's FTP anymore.
Then, if you can have a ROM, prefer the "plain vanilla" ones, unless you might need several extra programs, if you need speed, you need a light and simple ROM, there are several of them, from Helmi's, to Ivan's and others that I just can't remember now, look out in the posts and find a stable one to use, test it with your app until you think is the right one.
Alternatively you can increase your CPU's clock, but this drains the battery faster, a solution for this might be to install a larger battery, your use of the uni might permit all of these things.
I haven't tested any custom ROMs, but I have a friend with a uni that has installed in its uni a Helmi's ROM, I saw it, it seems quite speedier than my T-mobile one, he told me that the voice tags call fuction didn't work and something else, but, was it faster indeed.
bye

have you tried to kill useless proggy at startup???
if you want i may be able to make a clean rom for you...
actually try increasing the pagingpool a simple hexedit on existing roms (wm6 section of this forum look for helmi's kitchen)

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I've tried killing everything I can. The processor is occupied by one thread within devices.exe; and I can't really kill that process... Everything else had minimal/no impact.
Stuart

What application are you using to identify process usage? 30% sounds very high to me.

The remote tools in Visual Studio. Shows 1%-4% processor usage at idle for other PDAs, 30-35% for TyTN and Universal (the only 2 HTC machines I had access to). I used the kernel tracker thing to track execution, and it was one particular thread in devices.exe which was both busy, and also, sometimes, thrashing around at <100 micro-s frequency.
This figure does fit with our other experiences. The particular speed problem we have is with a library which is spec-ed to work on any machine with 400Mhz+ processor. Works fine on other machines, including some quite old PDAs, but has 'issues' due to slow processor on the Universal and is simply unusable on the TyTN.
I couldn't find anything I could do to improve this in RAM - and a colleague asked if any of the alternate ROMs might help - and I've haven't got a clue, but hoped someone might know if any of the ROMs are visibly faster.
Stuart

Have you tried changing the default clock speed?
Hi Stuart,
I think there are a lot of applications out there which allow you to overclock and change the clock speed of Xscale CPU's. Things like XCPUScalar 2007. If you look at this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304786)you should be able to find some useful information regarding scaling the CPU speed, hope this helps.
Will.
