I'll give another Hell YA on PlayerPro. No matter what rom i'm on i HAVE to have playerpro. its one of the apps that solidified my love for android and its customizability. PlayerPro is literally the PERFECT media player.

EDIT: and yes, you can edit all the info and tags on all your media very easily
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
sweet, going to download the trial when I get home later, may end up purchasing it :D
[EVO 4G General] chaoszepp:
Poweramp is one of the best out there, unfortunately its paid

definitely worth it however
[EVO 4G General] tristandespain:
I use cloudskipper. It's free and has a built in equalizer and pretty sweet lockscreen controls
[EVO 4G General] quickstang1:
poweramp.. all the way! paid but well worth it. If the song has lyrics, it will scroll em. If you want it loud, use the preamp. If you want it REALLY LOUD, QPST mod!!!

Never heard ANY phone this loud!!!:eek:
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
PowerAmp is dope, been my fave since the day I loaded it. I'll have to check out Player Pro, looks clean.

[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
+1 for PlayerPro.

I could tell you a million things that I love about it (and why I chose it over PowerAmp), but I'll let you try out the trial and decide for yourself.

The PlayerPro trial will play music past the seven days, but it loses functionality. Read the reviews for the paid one along with the trial - but take some of the trial reviews lightly, some people are using it past the trial period and it isn't working to its full potential.

the second one loks like a better design with the insulation iside the case for shock protection, but i like the 1st in white....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cez10:
there are reviews of the taurus one somewhere in the accessories section, also check out youtube for it

as for the 1st one, doesnt look as cool as the taurus one and dont think it has any rubber from the inside to give it an extra shock protection and it could possibly scratch the phone itself? but then its cheaper... and has a back cover
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 0semaj0:
pretty sure the 1st one is plastic, not metal, but made to look like metal, very similar to SGP Neo.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rojdag:
Think il going to take the plunge with the 2nd one, the taurus.
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
Nice comparison. Which boot time marker did you look at?
[Windows Mobile] Jackos:
Nice, I found this useful. I'm looking forward to your future benchmarks.

I'm wondering how much lzx does impact loading applications after the device has booted-up.
[Windows Mobile] tobbbie:
As long as applications just have to start it does not matter much imho. For such cases I even prefer to UPX these to get even more compression than with the imgfs itself. Here just one time read+decompress has to be taken into account.

The key to the boot-time (and related other module loading and discarding pages later from the paging pool) is that this will happen repeatedly and automatically without you able to steer it.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

I looked up the devhealth report of an old build and the gwes.exe is just the same (from first glance). So I suspect that devhealth is just depicting the current state of the device and not which pages could be paged out (or not). On first fast search I have not found resources to clarify on that yet.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You don't need to run devhealth to get the boot-time, just look at HKCU\Performance\millisecondstoidlethread.

I actually run a mortscript that records each time I reset my device, and how long it takes (there's a shortcut to it in the startup folder). This is the script, if you want to try something similar. It's kind of nice; I've had a few times where my startup time increased a lot, and I like being able to tell when it happened.

MkDir("\Performance")

If(FileExists("\Performance\bootlog.txt"))
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt","^NL^",True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",RegRead("HKLM","Comm","BootCount"),True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt"," boots, booted ",True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",FormatTime("m:d:Y:H:i:s a"),True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",", reboot time ",True)
sleep(30000)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",RegRead("HKCU","Performance","Millisec to idle thread"),True)
else
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",RegRead("HKLM","Comm","BootCount"))
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt"," boots, booted ",True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",FormatTime("m:d:Y:H:i:s a"),True)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",", reboot time ",True)
sleep(30000)
writefile("\Performance\bootlog.txt",RegRead("HKCU","Performance","Millisec to idle thread"),True)
endif

If(FileExists("\Performance\ramlog.txt"))
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt","^NL^",True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",RegRead("HKLM","Comm","BootCount"),True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt"," boots-reset, RAM ",True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",FreeMemory(MB),True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt"," MB, ",True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",FormatTime("m:d:Y:H:i:s a"),True)
else

writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",RegRead("HKLM","Comm","BootCount"))
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt"," boots-reset, RAM ",True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",FreeMemory(MB),True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt"," MB, ",True)
writefile("\Performance\ramlog.txt",FormatTime("m:d:Y:H:i:s a"),True)
endif

This is what the output looks like (the time is milliseconds, so we're looking at~45 seconds per boot):

Edit: Oops, I forgot, only the top part writes the boot log. The second part logs the device free ram whenever I wake it up. I just like to follow that for the hell of it. It's pretty cool to have that log when you go 24 days between soft resets, lol.
[Windows Mobile] tobbbie:
...thanks for the scripts - maybe useful as these take very little time to execute. I do a reset every night on my device - so long time RAM "loss" is easily worked around this way. Need to adjust for the keys present in my \performance path though (old WM5 Native Kernel with WM6 OS on top) - have not seen the one you read from there.

I wanted to utilize the devhealth logs later as well to compare more between different settings - this is why I had chosen devhealth to read it for me.

I noticed that some performance gates are linked to the amount of appointments or tasks. These log entries are after "Home painted". So for my compare I simply picked the devhealth selection of "Home painted" as the performance gate for bootup.

This is not the true time until you can use your device, but a good one to compare the influence of a single parameter (the PP size or the imgfs compression).

BTW: I checked if the latest XIP compression from OSB takes an influence on boot time - it does not :-) I have only applied it as recommended to the 2 big ones in my XIP - not sure yet if I want to squeeze the remaining bytes from there.
[Windows Mobile] tobbbie:
The following post was initially done in the OSB thread, but I thought it is off topic there, so moved it here:

I read about the use of the paging pool in this blog post but in essence I thought that mostly modules code would be candidates for that memory region. Looking at the output of devhealth there are also other parts (aside modules) marked as "p" which I suspect to bei either "paged out" or "pageable" (have not found a description here).

For me the relevant question are:

Can normally loaded executables (from imgfs as files or elsewhere, e.g. storage card) be utilizing the paging pool? I guess yes - as the OS acts according to the information present in the executable's structure, just like it does for the modules. So if this is the case - what is difference then regarding the use of the paging pool if a certain dll/exe is in "module" format or as a file? Are sections' attributes in a file incarnation set differently regarding the use of paging pool?

Does a potential UPX compression of a file (exe/dll) then impact the utilization of the paging pool and later performance of the exe/dll when paging applies? In a wild speculation and linked to the analogy of imgfs decompression needed when reading LZX compressed code sections parts to be paged in again: would a upx-ed exe/dll need to be re-read and decompressed from storage in case paging of code would apply? I guess no as this would severely impact performance and I have not noticed it for my UPXed (usually BIG) files.

So I wonder if I sacrifice OS memory management flexibility when I UPX compress a large executable, like Opera, that it e.g. needs more RAM and that parts maybe page-able if not UPX-ed and not page-able when UPX-ed. My guess (and hope) is that dll/exe files do not have page-able sections that are compressed. Possibly something to discuss with the UPX-team.

Can I do any tests myself to find out? I could use e.g. Opera and load it one time as UPX-compressed file and another time as normal file. Will the devhealth memory report be suitable to compare these cases? Is the "p" in the devhealth report telling that these pages in memory are "pageable" (so could be paged out if needed) or that they are "paged out" at the time of report?
[Windows Mobile] tobbbie:
...well I just tried it (using PocketPlayer from Conduits) and the differences are there - and they are as expected:

The normal exe delivers a map that has most memory parts marked either as "-: reserved" or "p-page" and the exe ends at a size of 2 882 088 bytes

The UPX-ed exe delivers a map where executable parts are marked as "E" but ending at a size of 2 775 552 bytes

Strange to notice that the devhealth dump delivers maps that are missing certain memory regions within the sequence of the report. So for the normal report the lines for 2e160000, 2e200000, 2e240000, 2e470000, 2e850000 are missing - compared to the UPX-ed. No clue what these "gaps" mean actually - probably memory that is simply not allocated to the process.

I cannot interpret any detail here, but the obvious difference is that the UPX-ed version seems to allocate the memory in a fixed way (i.e. it cannot by dynamically reclaimed by the OS), while the "normal" version seems to allocate memory in a way that allows "paging" to happen.

UPX:

plus side: no paging happens for the main executable parts - much similar to the OSB module option "exclude from demand paging".

minus side: in total more RAM is required as the whole executable size is loaded (to RAM?).

Normal:

plus side: less RAM is needed as the executable seems to utilize the paging pool

minus side: the paging pool is used, so it should be dimensioned to cope with the parallel use of all normal running applications, not just the modules from ROM.

My speculations are based on the assumption that the "p" indication of the DevHealth report is depicting the utilization of the paging pool. If so then the total number of "p" must not exceed the defined paging pool size. I have no easy way to count these "p" and skip others in the report - so now way to confirm that.

Take-home message: UPX your dll/exe if you want to exclude them from demand paging.

See attachment with the relevant excerpts from the DevHealth reports.
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
tobbbie, too long way to disable paging for selected exe. You just have to set "unpageable" flag on all sections using apps like LordPE.
[Windows Mobile] ultrashot:
All module sections except r/w occupy only one space in VM (higher slots on 6.5 kernel, slots 1/0 for older kernels). R/W section is copied to every process using this dll (if that r/w section isn't shareable), but, unfortunately, every process NOT using it will still have this memory reserved.

btw, if you want to read some more interesting reading, here is a nice link
[Windows Mobile] tobbbie:
...well but reserved pages eat no real RAM. It just keeps the process from allocating contiguous memory where the reserved pages are located in VM. As the dlls go top-down and the process bottom up - they have 32MB of VM in the middle. A very nice tool to see this visualized is here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/VirtualMemory.aspx The "source code" link at the top of the article also contains compiled versions - otherwise I could not have used it.

...oops - looks like a source rip of an old wiki of 2007 - quite hard to get something from it. I found however what I needed on DevHealth here:

Anyone know if well get it? Maybe someone can port it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
There is soon (within hours) a rom that will be released that is switchable between TW3 and TW4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Only the Launcher is going to be TW4. I highly doubt that anyone has ported all of TW4 to the Charge first without any of the original SGS phones getting it first.

The best you'll get is a TW4 theme'd ROM with the TW4 launcher. As far as I know, Samsung has no plans to put TW4 on any phone that isn't an SGS2.

Im going to be honest with you...i dont understand a f**king thing from that paragraph so im going to guess. You need to go back and put some periods in that **** like asap.

The point was on my evo a theme has to be flashed with the rom it was made for or it want work. I put alien theme over starwars rom now this might be something that can be done with these two roms i did not no for sure. So i was just posting this to see if i did something that shouldn't have been able to do. If so then someone might have wanted to see how i did it to help with other roms. If this can be done with these two roms then i am sorry for wasting anyone time. I dont no how much more clear i can be.:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Actually, I flashed the star wars rom, then the star wars theme, then Alien theme, then another theme over top. This way I had the ringtones from all three. It also fixed some problems I was having with the star wars rom.
