Imagio Overclock? HTC Performance

hey everyone!
I have been loving my imagio with the Orange Slim Rom on it, but there is always room for improvement... i have been reading about the HTC Performance overclock for the older qualcomm processors msm7x00, and was wondering if anyone had tried it on our Qualcomm 7600..
Anyone Care to be the first to try it? Im kinda scared since i dont have insurance on my phone.

Hey, I'm giving it a go now. As they say, you only live once, right? Or twice (insurance helps with that ). By the way, the cab you have didn't have the shortcuts to make the actual changes. I found one labeled "__with_shortcut_" floating around the internet somewhere that actually let me use the thing. It's about the same file size.
I haven't noticed anything too dramatic, but here's some of the things I think got better:
- Lists like the contacts or All Applications seem to come up faster.
- Populates the complete lists of songs on the touch flo music library much faster and maintains them better, especially after a reboot when everything's fresh.
- Speeds through the phone's setting menus now, where it used to slow down in a lot of places.
- Google Maps approximates my location the moment it starts now, whereas it used to take a couple seconds after coming up (I don't know why that is since it finds you first by using cell towers, but it's just better at it.) It also loads the maps faster when moving around.
- Weather animations appear smoother.
That's about it. No other applications load or work any faster for me, and animations are just as smooth as they've always been. I've enabled landscape support for just about everything on the phone, and nothing rotates faster either. That said, I'm running the Imagio's stock rom with nothing more than the SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy and Manila NoPushInternet to keep the memory usage down, so I don't really know how what it'll do for a custom rom. I'm really considering removing it though, since the gains I've seen are too small to run the risk of bricking my phone or draining the battery faster, which I feel like it's doing. It is very stable though, so I see no problem in giving it a try. It never locked up and nothing crashed. Hope your experience fares better.

Thanks for the Review of this app. I think more people (including myself) will feel a little bit more confident in using this app, knowing that we havent had any brick problems... Everyone that has downloaded this app please leave your view on if this app really works or not.

SPB Benchmark is very long in the tooth, but using mainly the gfx & cpu tests on
a fresh install of nrgy may 16th:
stock 524mhz VS dynamic 624mhz clock:

using nuedynamic clock to underclock the phone 384mhz VS 122mhz Note the voltage was set to 0 (least):

FWIW i also tried the near defunct nueoverclocktest cab to go from 524mhz to 768mhz. i hard locked ASA i switched it to 768mhz on both AC power and 100% batt power.

so in conclusion, i highly doubt HTC Performance does anything AFA changing clocks & we apparently can't overclock.

Does this really work for HTC Mega (T3333)?
How can i test the CPU speed?
Is there any prog for testing?
Thanks.

[Q] MIUI icon background

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.

I know there are roms with those iphone-style backgrounds... here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688687
*note this rom is only compatible with the eris* *it has been ported to other htc phones though*

Also the mytouch slide has bubbles behind each icon,
Also if you install touchwiz3.0 launcher (ripped from a galaxy s phone) it puts a random coloured sqaure behind each icon, im sure you can edit those square to have what you want
Edit: Those bubbles are what is featured above

Thanks for the replies, the thing is I want this effect on the HTC Desire which I have installed a Sense ROM (Froyo) on.
I would rather not which to another ROM just to have squared backgrounds.
This is why a Launcher would be the perfect solution.
I think the touchwiz3.0 launcher wouldn't work on my ROM but I'll try!
EDIT: I tried the touchwiz and it works! But the "bubbles" only show in the app drawer.
Here's a *.png of a square I made.

download bettercut from the market, then download an iphone icon set from market and apply icons to whatever you want through bettercut.

That would leave me making icons for apps who don't have an iPhone icon.
I'm not looking for that kind of solution.
I want it to have a square behind every icon automatically so to speak.
The DELL tablet ROM and the MIUI ROM does exactly what I want but.
I looked to port it over but that wouldn't work as the whole thing is different.

I've been searching for the same thing, with no luck. The Touchwiz launcher only puts the icon backgrounds on the dock, like you said, and I can't find the modified launcher that the MyTouch 4G uses to put on my EVO.
I'm currently running MIUI, which is awesome, except my battery life is pretty terrible compared with the stock (or modified stock) Sense ROM.
I guess I'll keep searching, and if anyone has any more suggestions, please post them here.

ADWLauncher EX can do this. It's not free though. I am sure it is possible to code it into any Launcher, but how you do that is beyond my capabilities.

Cool. Thanks!

Awesome! Just bought it, now I'm downloading the latest EViO ROM and dumping MIUI- the random restarts (although seldom), the wifi drops, and the terrible battery life unfortunately outweigh the really nice UI.

You just reminded me of the best poorly executed game I have ever played. I wonder if I could play it now with a view distance of more than 20 feet with 2 9800gtx 1gb in sli.

Successful flash. This rom looks great. It is stripped down to the same items I have been building in the rom kitchen, plus a few nice touches I have been having to add post kitchen (appwidgetpicker & ext power menu).
Some color to some icons looks great, instead of the usual monchromatic theme options. I won't use "just pictures" or "ADW" - easy enough to remove.
It seems the JPY rom base is pretty stable and common now. Performance tweaks coming from kernel and / or modem. This is the perfect base for me.

looks promising, and looks good. Ima get me a test drive in this afternoon. Thanks for the work, I cant wait for the experience.
and yes, the name is pretty cool.

Is that a live wallpaper or a static one? And if it's live does it change with time? Nothing to do with the ROM itself sorry.

Just flashed over, looks very nice so far.
Thank you, hope development continues!

Works well for me. Lock 10 out of 10 sats while indoors with GPS test. Good tracking down interstate highway. I live in major metro area and use copilot instead of att nav / google maps.

Bonus Find: Voice calling through bluetooth works. For those learning (like me) you must be on internet in some fashion for google voice commands to work. Too bad this rom isn't getting more play in the group.
The only issue I have with this rom is the transparency on the notifications and the white popup menu backgrounds. Perhaps more an issue with my eyes only, but it's my only complaint so far.

How is the battery life on this ROM?

This can be adjusted. I am moving this weekend, after I will fool around with it a bit.

I can't read this thread title without thinking of this.

JobManager.apk missing in /system/app that is causing FC whenever trying to open "task manager". Attaching the app to this post.

Tip for JB stock ROM users.

I am far from being an Android power user. I don't use mods, skins or launchers and prefer to stick to stock ROMs.
The farthest I go is to root my device, given the fact that some apps I need either work better with it or won't work at all without it.
So you have an idea, just the other day I posted I couldn't figure what "Greenify" was good for since, as I understood it, If we have to enter the app to hibernate/de-hibernate the target apps we might as well just launch and kill them, as needed, only to be kindly enlightened by another user about the fact of life that some apps do still run in the background, even after we've killed them.
...Pretty "tech challanged", right?
...but, coming from this "restricted" background, I do have a tip to share with you guys after having tried some online suggestions to deal with the relative "sluggishseness" and low Quadrant benchmarks I was faced with, after having migrated to JB XSP.
Apps took up to 3 seconds to launch and I was having this kind of values in Quadrant:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried a bunch of stuff to improve things up. I removed a series of apps I rarely used, even some system ones, using SystemApp Remover and inhibited others like MacroDroid. Still, no improvements.
Until...
Today, acting on tip read online, I went to "Settings" ---> "Developer Options" ---> (Activate) ---> "Drawing" and changed "Window animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animation Duration Scale" from the default values to 0.5x.
I got definite improvement in launch response, general "sluggishseness" with Quadrant values jumping to this:
Happy Puppy now
Hope this helps!
XK

I tried your suggestion and here are my results
Before change
4488
After change
3446
Restored to original settings
4146
Sorry for lack of images but I am unable to attach them.
In my case those settings did not improved the performance it actually decreased it. This might be on a case by case scenario but a good tip nonetheless

Note the huge jump in the I/O score. Seems out of character with the other devices.

Android / Samsunsg regress

Hi there,
So I have been using N7000 quite a while now - 2 years or so. And I discovered one, very annoying thing about new versions of android - each one seems to be worse in terms of usability and desktop space usage then the previous one...
Lets start with GB roms - there was 5x5 launcher in home screen and 6x5 in app menu + very useful bottom app dock that visible from desktop (home screen) and app screen. Also - each screen had a number that was shown in the bottom, so you knew where you were.
See picture: gb.jpg taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424401 here
Next version - ICS has cut some rows of icons in the app menu and completely deleted bottom app dock. And where the hell is screen number gone? Why??
The good thing about ICS was decent performance and quite good battery life. - Actually, the best one so far on n7000
See picture ics.jpg taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923817
JellyBean - same story less apps rows, everything seems to have more room for itself but it causes more screens and more swyping gestures. 4x4 in home screen is a joke. Having so big screen and using so little of it is pointless. I do not know what were they thinking designing the layout! And how did they manage to release so bugged software causing all kernel wakelocks destroying our batteries?
And finally - KitKat which follows the same direction - less icons in the screen, more touches to get you where you want.
Now regarding AOKP that everybody seems to love here - there is no support of very 'basic' apps that Samsung offers in stock TW roms:
- fm radio
- video calls via 3g
- s note
I can understand that s-note is the samsung specific app, but video calls and fm radio not being supported in 2014 AOKP KitKat roms is regress...
I recon that the next version of Android will have 1 icon and 1 icon for 1 screen - containing 12 screens.
We are putting ourselves in the custody of trying simplify things which are simple enough. Many other examples would be some of the google apps - Talk regressed to Hangouts, Maps regressed to new maps, and simple search app regressed to google now that everybody hates. And did I mention it takes 1 home screen when you swipe left on several devices?
I do not want be involved in the discussion of every single mistake google / samsung / communicy have made. I just wanted to point that the way, we are being directed is clearly a wrong way ahead!

Wow what an analysis. Yes ur right about everything u have said. Each new version of android shows so low mininum hardware requirement, which is not true because once the rom is released its much bigger in size than the previous one. I would like android to get updates like linux. Each edition getting a parallel update. Newer devices gets the newer edition and older devices should get the update of the edition they are already on.

To an already brilliant post the only thing missing was this statement based on a razor-sharp mind and an unmatched intellectual spirit.

brilliant post. brilliant analysis. plus there are now more non responsive google. same goes for force closing of apps
