hi friend I'm seeking this thread because I use/used regularly upx in my roms, so I can contribute a bit with my experience... I've stopped to compress dll because are very few that can be safely compressed & to avoid ram wasting I always plan in my rom a night ram recover or simply a reboot

using compressed exe saves a lot of space but as someone mentioned before it will wast more ram on long run

all EXE that use direct ddi/vga access can't be processed... such as gwes.exe

except fat office exe I don't compress other exe in the SYS folder (tried many times... too many troubles)

below a simple batch file that can be used inside a kitchen to automatize the whole procedure under OEM folder (make a backup of your OEM before):

@echo off
cls
echo.
echo.
echo USE WITH CARE BECAUSE SOME .EXE WONT WORK AS YOU EXPECT
echo.
echo in particular wont work: manila.exe, gwes.exe, cprog.exe
echo.
echo.
echo press any key to continue or ctrl+c to stop here
pause>NUL
cd oem
attrib -s -h -r *.exe /s
for /r %%F IN (*.exe) DO upx.exe -6 --brute %%F
pause

bye,

davide

I have tried squeezer on a few pograms such as pocket informant and S2P and the launch times are noticibly improved. Great tweak..

However, I am using a stock ROM, many of the above mentioned applications are stored in ROM, how could they be possibly be replaced with a squeezed one?
[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
Really? Dude!

Read the forums.
[Touch HD General] LordDeath:
Please consider, that UPXed applications need more RAM, because the whole *.exe has to be extracted into it.
[Touch HD General] emresumengen:
I don't know which device u'r running, but I guess that should be same for all running WinMo 6.1... I have no problems copying (device->PC or device->SD) or over-writing ROM files (or as you say, "the files with ROM attribute")...

I too will suggest using Resco v7 if you can afford it, or Total Commander (as it's free).
[Touch HD General] arnolds1:
Thanks a million for both the batch files and the post. Works great.

Hi, thanks for this tools (with upx inside)

I add some tweak to upx call,

for exemple sometime tools, like googlemap already use upx, but not with the best option, so, to prevent non compression, I add just before compression stage, an unpack stage :)

I also change compression, to brute mode, you totally more efficient :

exemple : Opera = 6,7 M on blackstone

with best mode : 2,5 m

with brute mode: 1,9 m

!!!
[Touch HD General] thanosc:
Use resco explorer rename the file or it's extension and than copy paste.

For me it worked in all the cases.

Arty out...
[Touch HD General] ericizzy1:

[Touch HD General] powercut:
hi all, i've tried directly to compress exe from UPX program, all ok when i use the normal compression, when i try to use the MAXIMUM compression mode the exe still the same size of before :|

Any suggestion?
[Touch HD General] geistteufel:
Yeah, try the brute compression

upx --brute FILE.exe

=> it will try several mode and keep the better one
[Touch HD General] geistteufel:
Using my squeezer version above will do the same think :)

The first unpack the file (in some case, it is already pack, ex: googlemap_compressed),

After start the brute mode compression.

=> It's the better ratio you can get
[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
thanks for your contribution, i've added a link to your version in the first post ;)

great idea for previously packaged EXEs,

if things are compressed that usually means that the chef applied UPX,

perhaps the chefs choose a certain compression level for a reason

and i've never seen official ROMs use UPX for anything,

also, i've had problems in the past with certain applications when using brute method

so for general compatibility i use and released the best version.
[Touch HD General] geistteufel:
Hi man

Ok I've test Dutty 2.5 Xtrem with every exe file compress in ROM directly.

So everything work fine, but global sensation as nice as without that.

In for uncompression on the fly take cpu and so shorter lunch could cause some wait.

It's nice to gain some place, but perhaps lower compression than maximum could really speedup every thing.

But in general, well, it's not the best way to speed up, "brute compress" everything will let a sensation of nothing.

Ok, after 2.6 Xtrem in normal condition, it's nice, so

let's continue like that
[Touch HD General] LiKBeAsT:
Very nice Sir.B and thx for sharing! Read the whole thread but i still need/plan to check the extra infos at their site .

Then i will start compressing my stuff :D

Well sure u gain space but as u said, launch times may be worse than best mode.. ;)

I guess its all matter of finding the best ratio regarding load to RAM time and decompress time :)
[Touch HD General] LiKBeAsT:
OK i just finish compressing a few files :)

Sure they are smaller but i noticed no difference in lanch times.. ( i used digital clock to measure the secs)

Well sure my method is not accurate. And if there is an improvement of, say, 0.5 secs then chances are i missed it:P

I could say that the only difference (i think) i noticed was at the albume and\or the camera lauch.

However, even if launch time is the same we benefit from this :) cause u r saving quite a lot space!

PS: just a sort not.. It did not work with my iGO :( No error or something, just the fact that clicking the icon had no effect! Too bad cause iGo was really taking much time to launch and i was hoping to see difference there :)
[Touch HD General] :
It won't run and worst thing is device lock and Hard reset.

Besides there is no point in compressing executables which run all the time since they are decompressed anyway at run time. So no savings in terms of space or speed.
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
Here's a list of apps I've satisfactorily tested:

- TotalCommander

- CommMgrPro

- FingerMenu (to copy it back, you have to exit FingerMenu first)

- SCUMM Virtual Machine (SCUMM1.EXE)

- Microsoft's TagReader

[Touch HD General] teo74:
Thank you, it works wonders with my tomtom!

But it was hard to do all that "advanced stuff" like unzipping files, reading readmes, pressing any key, I guess I am becoming a pro ;)
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
hi buddy.. is this a new program from the other one?

does brute = smaller size = faster load?
[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
no buddy, nothing new here, i just repackaged and streamlined and wrote a simple guide

brute may lead to smaller sizes, but the "--best" switch incudes brute, you can try "--ultra-brute", and slightly smaller sizes do lead to slightly faster loadtimes
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
thank you.. just to understand. basically what happens is a compressed file is faster to read .. so the cpu will uncompress it on memory and run it?

will there be battery drain due to the extra cpu cycles to uncompress?

cool program
[Touch HD General] noritren:
u can see a great improvement on adobe reader ppc 2.0 (not LE) with upx
[Touch HD General] raidzero:
hate to necro an old thread but I just discovered UPX compression, neat stuff. I have also noticed you cannot make a compressed exe into a module.. so in your opinions which is more efficient, modules or UPX'ed files?
[Touch HD General] mad_tunes:
I'm just starting out in the world of ROM cooking and this thread/UPX compression caught my eye...

I've tried using it with a few apps (using the 'Geistteufel-Squeezer' .bat file - thanks!)

Here's a quick example of what I've found with TomToms .exe:

.exe size before: 5586K

.exe size after (/brute): 1460k

.exe size after (no /brute): 1910k

This, I think, is awesome....shows a lot of potential. but then I checked out the RAM usage:

RAM useage before: 8.51mb

RAM useage after (/brute): 13.8mb

RAM useage after (no /brute): 13.4mb

I didn't find any noticable improvement in opening time..

I'd read (earlier in this thread) about .exes needing more RAM after using this compression, but more than half again as much as normal doesn't seem like a good pay-off to me.

Is there something I've missed or is that just the pay-off that's necessary?
[Touch HD General] Snoman002:
One, thanks for the program, works the trick!

For those that may be interested, Opera 10 seems to compress just fine and loads hella fast. Really, the difference was amazing.

om10qs.exe

opera10-armv4i.exe

Now if only that darn Htorch could be compressed, for some reason that silly simple program takes FOREVER to load.
[Touch HD General] applefruit:
What exe file can we compress to speed up the launch of the keyboard. The middle button at the bottom that we press to activate the k/b or when you need to switch the input method.

Mine took a long time to come out. Sometimes I'll thought that the press is not registered so I press the "button" once more resulting in the k/b appearing and disappearing immediately.

It would be GREAT if we can improve the responsiveness of the k/b activation/selection program.....
[Touch HD General] AngelDeath:
Not to revive and old thread but has anyone ever tried this with the HTC Messaging Client and DLL's? I am wondering if it would help speed up the loading of the msgs since most of us can get it to instantly load by hitting either menu or attempt to send a blank msg. I am just wondering...
[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
compressing the Graphics (PNG) files helps a lot with the Keyboard

different process from this, with better threads tackling that issue

i think similar may work for the messaging

So I have been searching and searching, but can't really find anything that does what I am hoping.

What I am looking for, is an ENTIRE phone Image. So like the Phone Storage (ROM) and the SD Card (Not necessarily the SD Card, but it would be nice).

Is it even possible/made?

I want to be able to save my image, put on a new ROM, and be able to go back if I want.

If it matters, I am using a T-Mobile Wing

ROM

Windows Mobile 6.1

CE OS: 5.2.20771

Build: 20771.1.4.6

OEM ATT Raphael Rom

ScreenShots: Post 2

Changelog: Post 3

Download Links: Post 4

Addons/Fixes: Post 5

Concept

I was attempting to create the most complete out of the box ROM for myself and it turned out pretty well so I decided I'd share, even if only to add to the great array of choice already available to Fuze users. I had to update the build due to the time bomb in the 21009 build and decided to use this as a base. I will most likely maintain this build unless a new ATT ROM is ever released along with a 21018 build. This ROM is made to my preference so I will be releasing an OEM/ROM/SYS as well so everyone customize to their own liking. I will be updating this ROM so expect bugs, this release is to test everything as far as functionality goes so I can troubleshoot everything while I finish up the artwork to finalize the ROM.

*EDIT*

And then that build turned out to be time bombed. So I put this together for anyone who just wants to continue to use the rom while I finish up stripping and completing it. So I started over again at 1.0 since the other version is no longer usable. Enjoy.

Instructions

Hard-SPL obviously, Flash, Hard Reset before using. Please keep this thread as clean as possible. Please edit your first "downloading/trying now/cant wait' posts when you have used the rom and post your thoughts/experiences any issues you encountered or ideas you may have. When posting an issue please post specific instructions to recreate the bug and any other information that may be helpful in finding the solution. IE: installed software, what was running, any settings pertaining to the issue and any updates or changes you've made yourself.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Nate731:
Flashed, Hard Reset, and went through basic setup last night, only issue so far is that Diamond Tweak bombs immediately on launch. Will continue testing. Other that that small bug so far, I'm digging this rom ALOT.

Great Job!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fiendz:
Just downloaded and tested Diamondtweak 0.5.3 with no issues. Try that version see if you can reproduce the issue and if so post your setup so I can try and recreate the problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xECK29x:
This is easily one of the best looking ROMs I've seen, just a recommendation I would add the black dialer and black slide to answer cabs to make it totally sleek!

Any reason why you decided to use a Blackstone port instead of the new 5.05 build?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fiendz:
Once all bugs are found and eliminated I will release different flavors as a kitchen but for right now appearance is secondary as far as priorities go. I stuck with this build because it showed me the best performance so far. If there is a demand then I will gladly release a version using the official build but Ill be waiting until the build is actually official rather than leaked and perhaps wait for an ATT release. but for now when I get a chance I will post black skinning cabs that will work on this rom.

i love the appearance, but never really used other rom except for the Da_G clean ROM.

i have few question here:

1. i see there is an account manager with facebook and youtube account setting

where is the application? how can i open it?

2. the youtube application under the browser tab is gone, how to put it back? even better if i could also add another tab for facebook.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fiendz:
The account manager and uploader allow uploading from HTC album to youtube and facebook. So in order to use them open album select the picture/video you want to upload click the RSK Menu and select 'Upload to facebook/youtube'.

The youtube application is not in this ROM you can install it as a cab. If you want to have it on your tf3d internet tab Ill post a cab for that. And for having facebook as a tab not possible afaik but if you'd like for it to be a shortcut on your internet tab, just make it a favorite in opera.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] flagerr:
thanks alot.

sure, the youtube cab would make a great addition to your application collection.

could i install all of the add on on the storage card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fiendz:
Posted youtube cab, dont know Ill work on making everything device/storage card as I go along.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] flagerr:
thanks, i'll try it on tonight and will post the result here

anyway, i just installed some programs

diamond tweaks works

advanced configuration works

tf3d config doesnt work

palringo works

skybook works

all of these program was taken from @essential folder in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459335 by tyguy except for skybook and palringo

all was installed in the storage card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fiendz:
Still havent got a chance to look into the TF3D issue I'll get to that later on today. Worse come to worst I'll just apply all the speed tweaks to the ROM itself and everyone can use Advanced Configuration to order tabs. Installing themes with TF3D config effects performance negatively so I wouldnt recomend it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] flagerr:
ok, the youtube cab works really well.

thanks alot fiendz

Hi,

I have some troubles with the radio application, on oppening the sound in always on "mute", and when i try to switch it "on" i still can't hear anything, it's stays on "mute".

I figured out that when i use the "speakers" option the sound is back but very low...and when i swicth back to "headphones" the sound is still activated but still low.

How could i fix this?
