[Bada Software and Hacking General] Soxix:
RAM and processor optimization

Here you will learn some tweak to boost your Bada device. It includes RAM optimization, processor and some other tips.

Processor overclock

Samsung set by default the CPU in Wave I and II to 800 MHz. In fact the normal speed of the processor is 1 GHz. Let’s do it!

First to prove that CPU is set at 800 MHz do this :

Type *#7092463*# in Dialer => 3: Device Test => 4 (Device) => 8 (Performance) => 1 (Cpu Perf)

To set the CPU to normal speed do this:

*#7092463*# => Go to 3: Device test => a keyboard will appear => type 8 (Common) => type 8 (DVFS) => type 1 (Static level 0)

You can check again the CPU speed that increases to 1 GHz.View attachment 1117425

Warning:

Those settings auto-reset after a reboot, so you will have to change those settings each time you start your phone.

The frequencies shown in the menu aren’t the one of the CPU.

REQUEST : If you have an other Wave that the I/II, please tell me if this works also on your device.

About RAM :

First of all will show you how to see the current allocated RAM

Type *#7092463*# in Dialer => 2 (Debug Settings) => 6 (Memory state) => 1 (Current memory state)

There you can see the RAM :

-The total RAM

-The RAM allocated by system and apps

-The fragmentation level of the RAM

Those information will be very useful to check to improvement you made on RAM.

Home screen:

-Close empty pages ( by “zooming out” with fingers in Bada 2)

-Close unused widgets (the one in the left panel and in pages)

The widgets that take the most of the RAM are watches and the weather widget (in Bada 2.0 and Bada 1.x). Closing them will free a lot of RAM.

Theme:

-Use rather the Default theme than custom (Settings => Display => Theme)

-Use static wallpaper

I advise you to reboot your device every day or when the RAM fragmentation is higher than 20%.

It will “clean” RAM and you will have a fragmentation level to 1%.

Close application using the end call button rather than using home button.

Close apps using the task manager (long press on home button)

Other settings:

Some widgets and some apps have an “auto refresh time”; the problem is that when you wake up your device every widgets and apps updates itself and it slow down your device! So set the auto-refresh time properly to avoid this. Simply go to the widget/app settings.

Pay attention to the weathers widget, they also have an auto scrolling time that can be increased or deleted too.

In lock screen disable the weather or limit the amount of cities, the auto refresh time and the auto scrolling time. (Personally I use only 1 place)

Go to Settings => Display => Lock screen => Weather

You can disable some unwanted notification in Settings => Notifications.

You can also do this if you want in Social hub.

You can change the auto refresh time of emails in :

Settings => Email => Email account => tap on "your email account" => and change the sync schedule time

For the moment I have no more idea… But certainly there are still some tweaks that I forgot.

I will update my post if I remember something. Feel free to comment/add something.

In the next post I will give some tips about memory in internal storage and in SD cards.
