I guys,
I have this doubt floating in my mind since some time...
If I run all sktools regarding cleaning and registry optimization, such as:
-Clean!
-Optimize!
-Tune Up!
-Invalid Registry Entries
-Invalid Registry Values
-Advanced Clean
-Registry Optimizer
Can it happen that it will wrongly detect some tweaks or corrections made by the cookers as errors in the registry and then eliminate them?
For example, if a cooker changes a value in the registry key to optimize something, Sktools can "think" that it's an error, and then change the key to it's default value, eliminating the optimization done by the cooker...
Is this possible to happen? Or can I use safely the tools from SKtools?
Thankx
I would recommend against using anything like that as it is possible your remove keys that make your rom unstable. Advice is install and stay as you are!

What???
Off course errors/mistakes could happen, but I think that some registry tool is very needed, specially in Windows mobile...
I'm not sure but when this kind of tools search the registry, they only seek for errors in the connections or links.
So I don't think they will delete any tweaks done by the cooker if the tweak is working good.
I use this software to clean up,remove stuff,optimize,tweaks etc... and I have never had any issues whatsoever,if you ask me it works like a charm that´s why I bought it and my xda is really stable all the time.
These are the features I use the most.
-Clean!
-Optimize!
-Tune Up!
-Advanced Clean
-Registry Optimizer
Once I flash I use "Tune up" to change the PIE cache location,cookies,history,messaging files etc....after this "optimize" for better perfomance/stability/memory it´s up to you.Once I´ve done installing apps I use "Clean" and that´s it.
It does remove needed registry keys/values, can't give a specific example tho, you better examine the list of items to be deleted one by one before actually deleting them completely.
The only thing I use from SKTools is FreeRAM.
Sorry.
To me looks like it works well.....I´m sure it´s my lack of knowledge,but when I set it up that way with sktools and it seems to work so well,that´s why I mentioned that.
So..... I've just installed a new rom, an before installing anything else, I installed SKtools, and made a search for Invalid Registry Entries, and it found a couple of them (around 6 or 7).
Is it possible that a ROM is cooked with registry errors already inside?...Or could it be that SKtools is not that reliable...?
And, should I delete those registry strings or not?
Bye
So, no comments/thoughts about this???....
Strange....

You better not delete any registry entries untill or unless you know what it's for. Say for example, if you see that these are coming from a programme that you have uninstalled from your phone, you can close your eyes and delete those. Even that also sometime is bad because, lot of them may be shared with other system stuffs.
I have found some blank registry entries and deleted them, later when I have rebooted the trinity, I had some strange errors(I forgot). Anyway, it don't bring any gains in cleaning registries for fast booting of system, but temporary locations or IE cache to increase your available memory yes.
The basic purpose of a registry cleaning(applicable for pc also!) is that , if there is any error message after booting up your system, or some special errors coming from a particular programme after it launches(depends on the message it gives!) , in that case, it could have been good to run those kind of registry cleaner stuffs.
So you can leave them.
I agree with Provat,
I would say that you have to be aware about what you want to remove.
I use SKtoll too but now I must be careful on what I do with that because on the past I have removed lot of things and the only solution was hard reset.
Nevertheless it's a good tool and it improves a lot. Personnaly, I only use "optimize for performance" option.
Is there a Cab for this ?

Google is your friend :
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
Please, could someone tell me how can I find in SK Tools the FreeUP RAM and Optimize for Performance parts?
thanks
I used SKtools to uninstall Google Maps and didn't scroll thru the results as I usually do. It virtually left my memory card void. All I had left was a shell of a rom...none of the shortcuts worked...all my files were gone. I had to use a recovery program to get most of it back...I still ain't right. I wanted to use their cleaning tool...it came back with so many results and I thought about what happened and just canceled it. I'll stick Memmaid unless someone can tell me the proper cleaner settings for SKtools.
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.

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!

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...
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

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 !!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

"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.
I applied all of the stuff mentioned by royalbloodvi in another thread here:
[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
So anybody, that finds those tips useful enough for him, should go with those. My problem was, that even when I applied all of the stuff, phone was still laggy, had some SOD's, sometimes turned off by itself etc. Since there is still no official note from SE about MR2, I was desperately looking for an answer. Creation of X2 subforum made my search easier, after browsing some topics, I gathered all the info, and to make it easier for you, I exposed it in this topic.
All the credits go to the topic starters in here, once again, I just gathered and compiled the info:
Xperia X2: How to change language (re-flash an Stock Spanish ROM), dreamcrawler for translation and originating tips, gbajzelj for the final idea and ultrashot and lollylost100 that provided the X2 software cabs.
***********************************
Procedure:
1) Open SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service), start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.
Another version: click on Start/Settings/System/Clear phone memory, enter all the needed info. It will put phone back into original state (MR1 - since you updated your phone to that version)
2) ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).
3) After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO. Well by default this will keep on showing up every time you restart the phone, and it will also reset your time & date setting to some time in March. But I found a solution for that. With registry editor of your choice, search for Launch190 (HKLM\init\Launch190\CustAppInstaller.exe). Delete that value, and phone won't ask you again if you want to retry the CABS instalation, also it won't change your Time & Date setting again!!
IMPORTANT: After that, phone returns to original WIN 6.5.2 state, without BUGGY SE stuff. At that point, phone is usable, stable and fast. You will have about 220 MB of free space on your phone.
Now you can go further by installing some of the SE stuff, but this is all up to you, since I don't exactly know, which one causes the problems (except for SlideView and TileWave panel, as was stated in some other posts). Grab the X2 Program cab's here: R1BA023_Original_Cabs
Put the extracted cabs on your SD card, insert it into the phone, and install stuff you want. I installed those packages:
SEMCFlashDeployment.cab
SonyEricssonDialer_1.1.0.996_vulcan_generic.cab -> New Vulcan Dialer
TaskManagerSetup.cab -> Task Manager, obviously
Camera_R109_RC1_38986.cab -> necessary for Camera
CommManagerCab.cab -> Communication Manager
FastGPSSetup.cab -> without this GPS won't work, at least did not work in my case
JMMS_Ver4.5.113_26Feb10_SE_PPC.cab -> reminded by rsx19, this one is needed for MMS
After installation of those, restart the phone. At that point around 200 MB of storage space is left, and around 120 - 130 MB of ram left. Although, it is not necessary to install all of those cabs (except for Camera, which I think is needed, unless you don't want to use camera ), it is all up to you.
Also, since you requested, I'll put down some of the cabs that are needed for different settings. But keep in mind, I am not sure if anyone of those cabs make any troubles or instability. So If you find any trouble or instability after some cab was installed, let us know and together we might find some useful solution.
Ok, to install some of the aditional setting in Setting menu, first install MyCPLSetup.cab, as I discovered, this one is neccessary for following CABS for various settings:
MobileData.cab -> for mobile data settings (HSDPA, ..)
ClearStorage.cab -> installs Clean Phone Memory
PhoneSettings.cab -> updates the Phone in Settings/Personal
SetupSNM.cab -> installs new Sounds & Notifications under Settings/Personal..
For the Illumination to work, install those 2 cabs:
IlluminationSvc.cab
PatternsSetup.cab -> SE Illumination Patterns, don't forget to restart phone after you install those two, and go back to Sounds & Notifications to set the illumination for various events.
After you install those cabs (not necessary to install them all, it's up to you) restart the phone and options will show up in Settings or desired category.
Don't forget, when you finish with installation of cabs, do a restart / soft reset of the phone, since some changes may not show until a restart / soft reset is done!
Using the phone with Windows Default theme, it runs smooth. Also battery life so far seems to be improved, but will have to run it few more days to tell the difference.
So far, my phone is lightspeed fast and, which is more important - stable!! You can now also try to apply settings, royalbloodvi provided in this thread - maybe you get even better performance:
[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
Ok, some are still having problems with SD cards being unrecognized or disappearing, here is the patch: SD Card Fix
Accelerometer based rotation:
If you loose the rotation during the setup of CABS, and you still want to use it, this is how you turn it back on: with registry editor open (HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\Rotation\AccelBasedRotationEnabled). If your rotation is gone, this key has the 0 value. Change it to 1 and you get your accel based rotation back. I have yet to find out, which cab disables it!
I'd like that you people give feedback in here, which CABs are safe and needed to install apart from those I (originally gbajzelj) posted.
PS
I personally don't like the idea of stripping the phone down to the bone to make it work. If you buy a new car, it works as it was send out of the factory..you don't need to unscrew half of the engine, disable the steering, take out the seets to make it work. Same is with computers, just everything. But until MR2 comes out and hopefully repairs all the damage that was done with MR1, this is the solution for me.
Also thanks to everyone helping to make this phone less bugy and somehow usable

After instalation of SPB Mobile Shell my GPS stop working. The only way to restore GPS working was to reflash mobile phone.

Hm, I tried and my GPS was also unresponsive, so I installed FastGPS and it helped!
its gbajzelj not gbanzelj ) np.
When i installed spb 3.5.3 and reloded weather info then when i turned off the phone and turned it on again the weather data was not saved and the wireless or data conscction did connect but did not load no new data from weather server. Skyfire did load the pages (the connection i guess did work) but spb shell did not load the weather data anymore.
i would also like if anione can make the camera button to open the camera app withouth the slideview. maybe a simple cab file just to set the camera button.
Sorry for typo
Does it ask you every time you restart the phone if you want to continue with setup?
If it does, did you notice that it resets the date? Thats a problem I'm trying to solve now Every time my phone restarts, date is set to 17. March -> maybe thats why your weather data is not reloaded??
For me, when I press the Camera button it opens the CameraApp. I installed only Camera Cab as you sugested, no SlideView, and it works!
Nice! This works perfect in conjunction with my other thread!
I have one question though for battery life issues: Which cab do I install to be able to turn off HSDPA? I've tried installing mobiledata cab but it doesnt show up..

It think you have to install MobileData.cab & MyCPLSetup.cab
And one question for you all, does phone ask you to continue with CAB installation every time when you restart it? And resets the date?

Looking into your answer right now...remind me, in which menu that setting use to be, I forgot already...

1) Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Data -> HSDPA Disable
2) Yes, it always asks to retry installing the CAB PLUS resets the date PLUS time all the time.
Just noticed it the time & date bug, this really bothers me =S
I just realised a lot of the cabs like clearphonememory cab doesnt show up in the start menu like mobiledata..

About the Time & Date bug, I think every time the phone starts as after I made MR1 update...so we must somehow find what is telling the phone that the software is not installed (if we trick the phone that is was fully updated and will not ask for retry at startup, this date & time bug will probably go away) - solution found, check first post
About missing things in Settings, I think it is all connected with MyCPLSetup.cab solution found, check first post
ok so the ACCELEROMETER WAS WORKING when i reset the phone, but once i installed everything you listed, auto rotate stopped working. what can i do to get it back? i really dont want to go back through the process again
Also which cab is 'sounds and notification' the one i have now doesnt have as many settings as before, and also which cab is for the optical pad.

You don't need to reinstall, just check the first post, I updated it with solution for that - you just have to change one registry setting!
For Sound & Notification settings install SetupSNM.cab! For the Optical I have yet to find out, I'm doing my best, but can't be that fast I guess I did about 10 reinstalls and about 100 restarts of the phone today
awesome, do you know which one is auto time update

You mean the Timezone tab in Phone settings? When it automaticly changes time due to time zone change?
In this case it would be:
TimezoneSvcSetup.cab
well like, before there was a auto time update check box, now i cannot find it, and ill install the right now and hopefully your right :]
EDIT, i still do not see auto time update
also does the SetupSNM.cab also include everything needed for the lights?
EDIT ALSO, add to your list since i assume most people use mms JMMS_Ver4.5.113_26Feb10_SE_PPC.cab for mms
What is 'settingspart1, settingspart2' are those extended settings?

Maybe you know where that Auto Time Update setting was? And if you restarted the phone, after installation?
For the Illumination, check first post
Thanks for the reminder on MMS, will add it now!
For the settingspart1 & 2, I have to check don't know yet
thankss a soft reset helped, and idk what settings1/2 do either
as for the sd card fix, it is needed, because my sd card went missing and when i went into the registry to fix it it was just like before and had to change the values to '0'

"shc1:"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000
also my phone doesnt vibrate, if i press preview it works but when i actually get a call/text it doesnt vibrate

Did you went back to the Sounds & Notifications and selected vibration? Becouse at the moment, only cabs I have installed are:
MYCPLSetup, SetupSNM, IlluminatonSVC and PatternsSetup, and illumination & vibration works for me. Or do a soft reset again, it might help.

Hm, don't know what your are your signal conditions with other phones, mine has a good signal and it does not matter, what I install..
illuminations work and all the settings are set, but still no vibe.
