Touch Cruise performance enhancements

This post is obsolete

Great tips!

thanks for the tips!

With the O2 version, the registry just reverts back to what it was. Anyone have a cure for this?

This is a really valuable thread. Well done and a big thank you to kwabbernootje for gathering together and posting all this valuable information.
Moderators - how does a thread qualify to be sticky? I'd like to kick off the campaign to make this one sticky. I know there's some overlap with the existing tips & tweaks sticky but I think there is huge value in a thread that is focussed on performance enhancements.

Good summary, thanks!

11. Smooth video playback
For video playback buy Coreplayer 1.1.3 Qtv edition. This (interim) release does NOT fix the driver issue. However they have figured out the Qtv video overlay API’s and are able to take advantage of them. For converting DVD movies quickly take a look at CloneDVD Mobile.

Very good thks

Is there any registry modification to disable the TOUCH funcionality in Polaris ?!
I had a problem with my polaris after use kaisertweak , and now nothing in the screen pressed or clicked like i dont have a touch screen.
Only when i do gesture up the cube comes up .. nothing else..
and for this reason i think if there is such a modification in a registry that changed by mistake ..
is there something ?!?!

CruiseMod, can you be more specific? What did you change or trying to change in the registry? You can always try a hard reset.

Don't use Kaisertweak on the cruise ! ...or if you do so you have to make an hard reset to get back to full fonctions.

I know this error from CruiseMod :->
You have change with Kaiser tweak the Touch Value!!!
Open with a Text editor the kaisertweak xml file Look about the registry keys for touch and use "Mobile Registry Editor" to edit this value remote from your winxp pc. after softreset your device works again ... value must like over 40000!!!!
If some on want ... i can start to develope a Polaris/Nike-Tweak. I must only edit some value ... not more. realy easy to port!

There are sensivity and finger pressure values .. which of both?
Your idea will be great if applied..

If anyone of has this problem like me .. dont hard reset !
JUST GO HERE >
HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
and change the VALUE to 40000
Soft Reset and you will be fine !!
Thanks to NetrunnerAT

11. Fix slow scrolling large webpages Pocket Internet Explorer
- By default Pocket Internet Explorer is very slow scrolling larger webpages due to rendering problems. This can be fixed by replacing the file called "webview.dll" in the "\Windows" sytemfolder with an older version. The attached CAB file puts the faster webview.dll in the windows folder. A softreset is needed after installation. (you can simply uninstall the patch by using the program manager and restore the webview.dll file to factory default)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't find this file "webview.dll" (all visible files "on" of course). Where else could be found ? Does the .cab file attached works in my case ?
Thanks for your help !

@Tane71
The webview.dll is in the \Windows directory. Use Resco file explorer e.q. to search this directory. The default file explorer hides certain system files. If you own a Touch Cruise the cab file will work after installation and a soft reset.

[AX3L Tweak&Utilities] The simplest way to boost your device without making a ROM...

[AX3L Tweak&Utilities] The simplest way to boost your device without making a ROM...
Hello to everybody!
Few moths ago I've edited a Trinity's ROM (AX3L v3.1.2.c) to speedup and boost my device...anyway I've left the "cooking" when my device jump to floor and become broken...
So, I have noticed that many people try to make their own ROM to boost their device (and adding some personalizations)....but making a ROM is difficult (not to much..) and need too time....
Some days ago, a friend ask to me to do a ROM for him (just to "optimize" his device), but I don't have so much time now for create and test it....
He tried some Customization-Tools, but some time don't understud what was done/which option choose/etc...
For this reason I've created a simply CAB installer to improove/optimize any WM5/6 Device...for newmbies or who don't want cookin' a custom ROM....simply install&play!
Here is the list of included tweaks:
. Disconnect GPRS/UMTS button and a timer display showing how long GPRS is in use for the session
. Max TCP Windows Size
. Max PIE Download = 8
. Low WMP background quality
. Live Search now use Google.com
. SMS Sent Notification is disabled
. Show Battery on top bar at Today screen
. Customer Feedback Service OFF
. SQM Service OFF
. Today Date Plugin on one line
. Menu animation OFF
. Removed (only when useless!) the scroolbars when read/writea SMS/Email/MMS/etc...
. Enable WiFi PEAP Authentication with privately signed server certificates
. All Security Restriction are OFF
. Ask where to install a program
. Keep CAB files around after installing
. Prompt before overwriting an existing installation
. Big font cache
. Enable file system cache
. Improoved battery life
. EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA icons enabled
. Enabled Purge Sim contacts when no Sim is present
. Vibra-feedback when press any dialpad's key
. Low Battery warning in now configurable
. OBEX protocol enabled
. Few settings
I have also included some programs found on this board:
. SoftKey setting applet
. MoDaCo's noData
. Sleuth255's SIP change

CAB #2: .NET FrameWork v3.5 Booster
This other CAB is for who have already installed or want install the ".NET FrameWork v3.5"
It simply speedup your device....
NOTE: IF you ALREADY have .NET FrameWork v3.5 on your device, simply install the CAB #2....BUT, IF you HAVEN'T already installed .NET v3.5, you must install it before install CAB #2 !!!
Click to expand...

You can download the original .NET FrameWork v3.5 setup from HERE!

WARNING:
For some reasons, CABs #1 and #2 aren't UNInstallable. So, you "must" create a backup before install it in order to restore the default system!

Niceness.
So what changes does cab #2 change, if any?

good stuff bud....not to be one to stifle innovation and new things...I have to ask the simple question that immediately popped into my mind...How does this differ from Schaps Advanced Config?

Great idea
How do we know if we have the tweaks already in our custom rom. I am sure all roms use the net framework, but how would we know if the booster is setup?
Would we cause any problems if we install your cabs?

You can make those changes manually, so you can even restore the default setting.
Key: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework
Dword:
2.0.7045.00 -> Set to 0
3.5.7283.00 -> Set to 1
To revert the changes restore the original values.

hs anyone tried this on the Rapael/Touch Pro?
As i have tried various tweaks to change the soft keys but they didnt work.
Regards
Rich

Tried it on my Polaris running udK's Syrius rom with Manilla 2D.
- All today items are gone (also Manilla 2D) except time/date which is the only item left in the list of selectable today plugins
- 3G keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. The white "connection" dialog keeps poping up and is totally annoying.
The one fix I was after was about allowing custom certificates on PEAP auth for WiFi (we use that at work). Could you isolate that fix and give my a hint (registry etc)?
Thanks, going to restore now...

well, i installed it and it completely ****ed my system up. now on the today plugins menu in settings there is only one option and it's without text.. which is the date plugin.. other than that i have no today plugins.
(same as for pananza)

glad i didnt use it

Extracted the cab to see what's inside. Do you mind explaining what the following files are?
InTheHand.dll?
Custat.dll, Ceipui.exe - disable customer feedback I guess?
compse_sms.htm, compose_style.css, read_sms.htm, read_style.css - remove txt msg scrollbars (if not necessary)?

Try this cab guys...he had the \hklm\software\microsoft\today\items\ key with the today plugins from his own device included in the cab for some strange reason. This will definately fix the 'today items' problems...but other problems...you'll have to ask him
EDIT: If you installed his original cab...it probably screwed your today items settings which 'i dont think/know' how it can be restored...hard reset I guess?
And THANKS ALOT AX3L for an AMAZING set of tweaks...I can edit cabs so I can sift through and extract the tweaks I want...but for the average user who can't and wants to just install the cab...you need to do some work to fix up your CAB and make sure every tweak is compatible with 'most' devices
Or maybe you could just list out all your tweaks like this...cause it's not like any of these tweaks are secrets or your own...are they?
Thanks again!

advanced config 3.3 probs

Hey Guys
1. Splash Screen
-> I tried several png images (480x640 & 640x640), but nothing is displayed when my phone boots up. The screen is just all white.
2. Start-up sound
-> I tried a few different wavs (16kbit / 22KHz / Mono), but there is no sound when the htc animation plays during boot.
How can I get these things 2 work?

You should post that question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
it is the thread for the application in question.
other than that i cannot help you as i disable the startup animation as it slows down the device booting!

If I post in that thread i will end up @ page 38 (last page) and nobody will respond.
I've seen a guy ask the same question 4 times without any luck.
And that is why I started a new thread.

I understand this, but this is the nature of a forum.
all of the people that have responded to that thread will get an email about your post, so you will have a better chance of getting a correct answer there.
the other option is to use this: DiamondTweak 0.5.3
ADV Config & DiamondTweak have some the same features and some different.
also some of the features may not be applied properly with ADV Conf, but are applied correctly with diamond tweak and visa versa.
i have both, they do not constantly run therefore it is not like having 2 anti virus programs running
or if you dont want both install them both and remove the one you dont like, but personally i use both, i find that diamond tweak works best with graphical/user settings and such like where as i prefer using advconfig for more system related tweaks like changing the times of cutting my calls off for example.

ok I will post in the correct thread.

[APP] Call Manila Control by built-in Biotouch.exe

This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

Good idea, I'll try on HD when I'll have it, I hope monday.
Thank you

great idea. Although I've still yet to find a use for a second today screen. lol

is there going to be a version of this for the vogue? it seems neat but im not ballsy enough to install something not meant for my device quite yet.

Vogue uses different registry settings. please try the newly added cap in post #1. pls be prepared for bug-fixing time because i can't test it on my own. for safe, pls do a backup, especially the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] registry key, before installing.
good luck.

surely none of the 3 uploaded version would fit the vga devices.
if you want a try, i guess the Polaris version can be a good start. pls be prepare for the pull-up screen being in 1/4 size.
pls do let me know the testing result and see whether i can find a way to fix it. if it doesn't work at all, pls kindly let me know the following registry key values on your device:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"App1"
"Cube1"
"Path11"
thanks for your interest.

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.

I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

Hey, Love the snoopy. Is there anyway to take it off however? I't just doesnt go well with my today screen?

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"TotalBMP"=dword:00000001
"Cube1"=hex:07,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,0A,C8,C9,CA,CB ,01,01,01,01,01,01
"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"

Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.

Improve Wi-Fi Speed! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

i found this last night on ppcgeek and it works great. My WIFI is about 40% faster. I think it needs to be tested for power drain.
Here is a great tweak that speeds up your Wi-Fi.. It works by enabling the “g mode” of your device’s WLAN card (disabled by default on most devices). This hack has proven to improve Wi-Fi speeds by 3 times..
Iinstall the attached .CAB to the device, then soft reset. It will change the value of dot11SupportedRateMaskG from the default 4 (1 in some cases) to 8 inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS.
Note: Some devices don't have that structure in the registry. If it's your case, our cab will create it automatically.
I do not take credit for the creation of this.. I merely happened to find this at the site linked above and thought to post it here..
Link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49652

my HD has this registry without any tweaks. Thanks anyway.

I looked on my HD and couldn't find it? How do you make the adjustment?

So Kev, your WiFi was 11Mbit before? My THD does not have this registry entry, but a similar one
....TNETW12511/Parms/Wireless
When I change the valume of Wireless to 8 (from 1) it shows 54Mbit speed after Softreset, but I forgot to check the speed before the change.
WiFi seems to run faster, but...maybe I am dreaming...
In order to change such values you need a registry editor, there is a plugin one built into Resco Explorer for example.

What is with the battery? Does it drain (much) faster?
