Speeding up WM5

Apologies if this has been covered before, found these settings on another website (http://smartmobileassets.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b=winmobile,m=1132411511)
Have they been tried and do they make any difference?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096)

Yes they work!
Yes they work beautiful on my Jasjar, the device is noticeable faster in all the applications.
Thank you!

Cache settings, hum... how safe is this?? I take the chance and test them

hi. please could you tell me is i need to insert the full value "0x1000(4096)" or only one of them? thank you,

Just one, one is the Hex Value the other is the decimal

so for ex in hex 0x1000
sorry but registry is like crystal...

Just one, one is the Hex Value the other is the decimal

Yes, "0x1000" in Hex is identical to "4096" in decimal. Put whichever one you want into the relevant registry entry.
I've messed about with these registry settings too, but in all honesty I haven't noticed any difference in performance....

me too...

But as darkdestroyer says in the other sites forum...
Yes i've done this since it was first released on Aximsite by another member. At first I had 8 mb allocated, but i guess 4 is the best number. The PDA right after a soft reboot is still the same speed, but after you have all of the shortcut's/programs run once, they will be put into ram and the following run's of those same programs/shortcuts will be much much faster. This is indeed a great find and should be standard with WM5

No changes in the performance of the device.
The only change is battery draining faster than the original settings.
I've done these changes before and had to reflash the ROM again to my device.
I don't see any need to make these changes, and I don't advise any one to do them.
Regards,

These registry settings have been reported to increase performance by many users on different forums, some using the Dell Axim x51v ,BA users and even some Universal users and are even incorporated into tweaks2k2. My advice is to try them for yourself and make sure the changes are actually being applied after a soft reset and then perform some tasks on your device (see the post by Carnivor) and then make your own judgement. No one so far has reported any negative impact apart from a small reduction in program memory. The changes can always be reversed if needed.

Erm... so is this registry tweak adding cache memory to the system for running applications then? So that .exes or .dlls that are loaded when a program is run are available more quickly to the system next time they're needed?
If so (and I can't quite believe that this could be the case ), are we now recommending that we allow programs to stay resident in memory to speed up the machine?
... much like the standard PocketPC "Minimise, not close" behaviour that people seem to hate so much?
LMFAO if so! (and please tell me I'm wrong if not! )

SiliconS,
You are absolutely wright.
The proof is that after making the registery editing the application when opened for the first time it does not open on a faster way than the original settings, but when you open it for the second time it opens faster that the first time.
The appications remain opened in the phone memory and reduces the devices memory and the battery life as well.

Microsoft's WM5 development team must be LTFAO when they read stuff like this. People spend hours complaining and looking for ways of forcing the system to properly close apps using MagicButton or PocketPlus, and complain when their WM5 machine runs slow.
Then someone comes along offering a way of speeding things up by caching programs and files in memory!!
Am I the only person who thinks this is utterly bizarre?
Oh, man. MS must be laughing at us. :shock:
(No offence intended to anybody - I'm just amused by this. )

So, if you are running something like GSPocketMagic, Magic Button, etc, which actually close applications properly, all you are doing is reducing the amount of memory available to run programs with no gain whatsoever?

Well I made the changes and found no improvement in speed, but it was worth a try. In the light of what has been said, I'd like to change back the settings, but can't remember what they were!!!!!
Can someone post up the original values please

Here they are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0

Many thanks - all sorted

Guys, these registry hacks work! If you haven't been able to get them to work you may have missed a step or two.
First of all, Windows Mobile 5 already holds running information in the RAM, so these tweaks do not truly change that but they do enhance it to make the WM5 device runs MUCH better.
I've have had a TON of people comment and e-mail me about these changes both on my site and many others about how well these tweaks work. In fact, I don't think that the developer of Tweaks2k2 would include that in his latest version if it didn't work.
Couple things; you have to either cycle the power on your WM5 device or do a soft reset from a software app only! Cycling the power will write anything in RAM to ROM, in this case the registry settings you have just changed. If cycling does not work you should soft reset your device using a software app. I think there are a couple free apps to do that but you can also use SPB's Pocket Plus or others. If you just hit the reset button on the back after making the changes it soft resets right away without writing RAM content to ROM.
You can check this by looking at your registry settings after a soft reset to see if the changes took.
I have still noticed that sometime after a reset my device will still run slowly but it isn't because of these changes. In fact, most of the time it is perfectly fine and MUCH better than it was before the changes. MUCH!
Be sure to also turn off error reporting and do the activesync hack to keep those from draining battery and you should do well.
Again, many have made these changes and seen a very significant improvement in performance.

ROM upgrading/cooking/tweaking

A simple but important question:
Do You changed your original ROM to a self-made?
Yes?
What ROM did You use? (Link would be fine)
why You flashed your ROM?
do you experience more performance?
known problems?
would You recommend it?
No?
do you think about doing it?
bad experience with doing it?

Yes, I changed.
1. Touch of HD 2.2 Full Edition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
2. Because I had to choose one and this seemed to be good choice. (And it was!
3. Yes, my hd seems to work faster.
4. So far I haven't noticed any problems. Sometimes the device won't show thumbnails of pictures in file explorer but it's not a big deal as you need just to change folder and all is fine.
5. Yes, it is worth testing. You should not be disappointed.

No:
1. I do think about changing rom but since I have customised and performance tweaked my HD already I wonder what a cooked rom will do. I know a cooked rom will likely perform better than official but what about a tweaked official with all your customisation and performance tweaks. What's the advantage?
2. Not tried yet.

Exactly my opinion! This post could be mine
What's the advantage? Want to know it too, thats why i opened this thread!

Not YET, but I will later. I would like to be completely familiar with the stock ROM first in order to be able to have a good feel on whether there is improvement.
Honestly, I'm so satisfied with the stock ROM already. Don't seem to experience the problems that some describe, such as it beign slow, etc. I have no freeze after about 10 day of use so far, I find it very very fast.
I do want to flash a cooked ROM because I hope to see improvements in a few areas:
a) inability to make SIM contact hiding registry change stick. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has fixed this.
b) occassional stutters in music playing. Not sure if this problem is fixed in cooked ROM.
c) When selecting album, the storage card entry will show up only after I have selected ALL, wait for a while, then go back to reselect. Even then, the Storage Card entry does not always show up. Not sure if any cooked ROM has fixed this yet.
d) I don't like having the battary icon on the TF3D taskbar. I like it to show the date/time instead. Not sure if cooked ROM has fixed this.
e) The standard ROM has switched off the screen orientation UI switch. One needs to switch it on before we're able to assign Rotate Screen to a hardware key. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has rectify this.
f) I never like HTC task manager, and had always used Wktask in the past. If the cooked ROM uses Wktask and disable HTC task manger on today screen, I would consider it a plus.
g) I don't like the default calculator skin either but I never use this simplistic calculator anyway. Having a proper skin is nice though. After trying out Panomaric Calc, I think I'm going to stick with it.
h) I wish pressing hardware button twice does not result in dialing the last dialed number as it does now. I know we can lock the device to prevent this from happening while the device is in our pocket. However, once the phone is unlocked, it is easy to dial the last number without me realising it. I wonder if any of the ROM addresses this issue.
i) TF3D color. I wish we have an easy way to frequently change color for every tab, not just the home tab. I also love to see the 3D glassy taskbar and bottom bar back. If anyone know of any ROM that has that, please share here. I know I can flash all of them and find out for myself, but would be nice to know from those who have already tried.
j) I wish the TF3D music program is able to assign songs to a playlist more efficiently. ATM, I have to show the music on the screen, then click menu/add to playlist. This is too laborious. Or perhaps there is an easier way that I'm unaware of?
That's all I can think of ATM. I'm sure it's a matter of time before some of the cooked ROMs make these improvements.
So, I definitely will flash, but don't know when and which ROM yet.

1. Dutty's v1.1 HD Rom
2. Because I'm a flash-a-holic, and Dutty's been making incredibly fast and stable roms for a long time. Based on new 1.19 official rom, which has bug fixes and Dutty has tweaked performance.
3. Hard to say. Except for the annoying freeze problem, I've been fairly happy all along. Mainly, I trust Dutty -- the hodge-podge of settings I was using didn't seem as stable.
4. Only one - once in a blue moon, closing a lot of programs individually & sequentially from the home screens top right task manager button will freeze the device. Another user said this was reproducable, and Dutty is tracking it down...
5. Oh, heck yeah!

In conclusion i must say, that im not convinced yet...
Someone who knows the device good enough should just Hard reset the device and customize and tweak it for his own, with the applications he or she likes and the tweaks he knows (!). This way he or she will get a device completly known by the user.
BackUp this state so you can go to it back everytime you want. TADAAAA you have YOUR personal perfect device ROM

HD is NOT slow. (I can play smooth video while running lots of apps - Video added)

So many ppl saying that HD is slow when compared IPhone. No. HD is faster than IPhone even it has double resolution.
First, watch my video. (I have recorded it with a bad webcam, so its not so smooth sometimes and blurry, sorry for that).
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbn1vm_my-touch-hd-running-lots-of-apps-sa_tech
You can see I am running these apps at the same time;
- MSN Live Messenger (connected)
- Facebook App (connected)
- Opera Mini (via JBed)
- MySpace (Connected)
- SongLoader (Downloading 1 song)
- MediaPlayer (Playing 192Kbps MP3 File, It has some glitches since I cant adjust buffer)
- PocketPlayer (Playing 128Kbps through Wi-Fi, full buffered, so no glitches in sound, smooth)
- CorePlayer (Playing 320x240 25FPS MP4 file with 44100hz 2channel sound WITHOUT SLOWDOWN)
* There is active background services like G-Trigger, GPSModDriver.
* Manila is still smooth while running all those applications at the same time.
Conclusion: HD is maybe twice or more faster than IPhone when you configure your windows well. I dont know why ppl choosing winmo 6.5.. I tried it with every custom ROM, manila was freezing while listening to simple MP3..
If you like it, here is my configration:
- HTC Touch HD without any overclock installed Topix 3.1.2 (WinMo 6.1).
- Installed Neos drivers V3 first, then Xperia X2 Drivers on it. And Graphics Booster 1.2.
- I am using custom priority management (Using SpeedBooster). Most important thing is this. Since speedbooster is not free, you can use sktools (I didnt try it, but heard that it can do priority management).
- Manila.exe and gwes.exe %80 priority. Other apps %60 (Players, browsers, etc.). You can set jbed.exe (Java emulator) %80 too for smoother experience, since it's pausing any running threads when you minimized it. And you must adjust players buffer sizes as much as possible (when you use manila or other %80 prioritied application, your ppc can't process mp3 as fast as playing, in this case it plays from buffer. If you keep doing things in manila, sound will stop when buffered part is played.). So you must adjust these things for yourself, depending on your needings.
Thanks to kwbr for this nice and smooth rom.
This is not for noobs, if you dont know what are you doing, then please dont. You may get your ppc unstable/freeze.

Hello,
thanks for this topic.

I would appreciate it if you could place the links of the used appz, rom and tools.
so people can be sure they're downloading/ installing the correct links and the updated ones.
I wanted to ask you one more question, how long does your battery last ?
because i have to charge my phone every night even if i didn't use it a lot!
(i almost forgot to say that my HD has a standby time of 32 hours is that normal ?)

Of course, I would attach files when I back (I am in another country right now, so I can't access my PC). But I am sure that you can find them by searching forum
"neos2007 driverpack 3"
"gfx booster 1.2"
"teksoft speedbooster 2.0.010" (not free)
and, already given xperia x2 drivers.
About battery, since I use topix wm 6.1, it lasts longer (like about 2, 2.5 days). And those programs or drivers didn't affected the battery life so much, it's almost the same.

I love your fast reply you're really my hero!!

i think youre still using the Topix 3.1.2 rom?
and which radio /rom version do you have

Thanks for your useful advices, mr barisahmet:
I have installed "NeoS2007_Driverpack_3.cab", reboot after installation, then have installed "X2 Video Driver.cab" and after the required reboot my HD freezees on the boot screen. I have do a reset and dont boot, then remove the battery, and also dont boot. Now I have a beautiful "Blackstone paperweight".
Have you forgot any steep? Well, to late for me.

I havent experienced that before since I used always that combination with every rom. You maybe using stock rom? No I explained all steps. I will edit post as "not for noobs", sorry for late edit.
Though drivers and/or radio is not important part. I get almost same results with original drivers and radio. Important part is, well adjusted priorities.

Yes, fastest rom ever is Topix 3.1.2. And my radio version is .17 .

Yes, I have Hard SPL 1.56 installed with the 1.56 stock ROM decert and 1.17.25.09 radio. Now I have flashed with a custom 6.50 ROM.
Anyway, I don't know how you call "not for noobs" a procedure that consist on install some cabs. I have do many tricks with my phones since my first Qtek 8080 on 2004, including flashing, registry tricks, etc... and I never have freezed a machine before.
I think that if someone follow your steps and freezes the machine, you have forgot some previous requeriment previously included in the customization of your ROM. You must recommend this procedure only for people with your same ROM or identify what is the previous steep necessary and include the steps to do it manually.
At last, sorry for my english. ;-)

Topix 3.1.2 is a custom ROM.

my little friend, have you tried putting it in boot loader mode, try this, pull the battery out, put back in again, hold both vol up and vol down in at same time then whilst you hold them down hit the power button on the top
you should see a multicoloured screen
now, on your PC go to whoever released your phone and download an "official" ROM for it.
plug your HD in to your PC
your PC might try and install something at this point, let it do it!
now run the official ROM you downloaded and it should install.
next id suggest you install Hard SPL which you will find in the WIKI then try the whole thing again .
your paper weight should no longer be a paper weight

whoops, missed that post, sorry, well do what i said anyway, it should still un brick your phone

ok now I'm scared!
what is the way of doing it ?
what do i have to do first,could someone give a step by step guide?

Does anyone have the correct links?
and could someone give us a step by step guide?
thaanxz

ok first things first, you need a new ROM incase the one you downloaded is corrupted.
then turn off the device
pull your battery out and put it back in again. holding down the power button will have the same effect but the battery out will make sure its off
step 2
hold down the volume up AND the volume down button on the side
whilst holding down the two volume buttons push the power button once
this mode is called bootloader mood, it will allow you to install a new ROM without the need to boot the HD up in to windows
Step 3
plug in the HD to your computer
allow it to install anything that might pop up on your PC screen.
your PC will look as normal, your HD will be multicoloured with writing on it
now try and install the new ROM as you normally would
its dead easy, and unless your HD is buggered it should get it working again, if it doesnt you wont be any worse off than before!

In speedbooster:
How do i set up process %?
I can just see a bar from green to red and i dont know how much is 80% there

hello guys
Cool that you made such a video, so everybody can see that our Blackstone isn't a slow device.
In my Oppinion Blackstone "could" be faster than a non-customized-LEO.
The problem is HTC and Microsoft don't provide a good Hardware-Driver support, so the blackstone can't run on his maximum Level.
We can see this in such small things like the TF3D 2.5 Landscape Album View.
3D-Games are no Problem for our device if they are well configured by the programer, but we can't slide smooth through a list of 10 MP3-Albums with an small 3D-Effect
That's all because of bad configuration and a bad hardware support.
Why is there a so big community supporting Android drivers, when we should have a good WM-System at first?
greets

cuz we dont have WM drivers, what we have are a bunch of files collected and made to work with one another to give some form of speed improvment but unless someone releases the full driver and code or re writes the OS to use GL we are buggered. moan to Qualcomm and HTC

%80 is, just one step previous than %100. Where %100 is last step.
I think drivers are almost okay. Problem is coding style in some applications. Some apps has very smooth interface with eye-candy graphics, while some apps are slow with a simple UI. But of course, its hard to adapt those applications to many device variants. Iphone has no such variants like those devices. And windows must have better dynamic priority management, like the app you see on screen must have higher priority than foreground apps. In this way we set static priority to an application and it may be kinda unstable. But at least we can see what our device can do.

Any one fixed the SMS sandby crash yet?

I love this phone but this crashing its doing my head in. Ive heard so many people have this issue but no ones knows how to fix it. What happens is...
You recieve a txt you press the on button you swipe the unlock and it just sits there doing nothing. You have to pull the battery out and its a tad annoying when you have to take the case off to get to the battery cover.
I think its the HTC sense causing this as ive taken it off and im using spb mobile shell 3.5 and its working ok
Any help would be very grateful.
Cheers

Can't say fixed completely, but it's much better after performance tweak
I can't say that my TMOUSA HD2 never crashes anymore, but I get much better performance with very few crashes after implementing the following registry tweak which comes from the 3rd sticky link on the HD2 General page. Also, even with the tweak, SMS performance is not fluid:
*Leo Hints, Tips and Registry....
37. Boost Performance:
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 4096. Works for some and not for others though.
I have not flashed my ROM and do not plan to do so for some time because I don't want to get off of the stock ROM until I see a few more bugs worked out.
Please let me know if this registry change improves the crashing behavior because I might increase the CacheSize another 1 MB to see if the performance improves.
HTH
PS: I meant to also mention that my phone was doing the exact same thing as yours. I went back to TMO and they said it should probably be replaced but they didn't have any in stock and they didn't know when they were getting anymore in. After reviewing many of the posts from new purchasers (including yours), I think the new phone will have the same problem and the only way to fix it will be for the MFG to post a hotfix. So rather than losing the few apps and customizations I have already made, I'll just struggle along until a hotfix comes out.

Tips for speeding up mobile shell 3.5 on the Touch Pro 2?

I have searched the forum, but haven't found an awnser.
I haven't been using mobile shell 3.5 much because of the lag when switching screens. I've read many people with the TP2 use it, so I guess the user experience seems to differ.
Can someone give me tips on how to speed up mobile shell 3.5?
The 3d carousel works perfectly, while that should be more demanding on my phone. I have installed and tried several ROMS. I'm now running a very light one.
Any tips, tweaks or graphics drivers?
Thanks in advance.

I was actually able to run SBP MS on my old wizard (197Mhz proc!) and the carousel was completely lag-free even on that hardware, but I did have a slight lag on screen changes though.
I have only seen one set of "upgraded" video drivers for the TP2, in the thread below. Note- despite the title, they're actually OpenGL drivers, not D3D. I don't know if they'll improve MS 3.5 for you, but it's worth taking a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546522&highlight=at0mang+driver

Tried it. Thanks. Sadly no improvements on WM shell.

Are you referring to when you use your finger to move left / right / up down? Or do you mean when selecting the Contact button? Or is is slow everywhere?
One thing you should do is change the file system settings to increase performance. Also change the glyph settings & Etc. I think BsB Tweaks will change these.

Are you referring to when you use your finger to move left / right / up down? Or do you mean when selecting the Contact button? Or is is slow everywhere?

It's mainly using your finger to scroll. But also a bit the icon loads. I'll try BsB tweaks. Not sure what settings you mean, but I try something.
If anyone can make this more clear, it's apreciated.

Only settings I found was ther glyph setting. That one I did. It actually became a little faster. So if the other tweaks work just as good, I'd like to know where to find them.

Actually, they are in the Advanced Configuration tool, under "Performances". Change the system cache to the advised settings.

The Advanced Config Tool works wonders speeding up many things. Fixed some network lag problems I was having since I had to flash back to the stock at&t rom while traveling. Only thing that has caused any problem for me was a camera setting I didn't need (naturally when I really needed the camera) the one that encodes rotated images as portrait. Other than that it has really helped out. (I now store the .net compact framework cab on my sd card so I don't need a computer to deal with it on the train...) Still looking for better video playback with standard encoded .avi's though (OpenGL drivers worked but I didn't notice an improvement...)
