[General Questions and Answers] Aegishua:
You could try using an adapter and plugging it into your PC. From there check the size on it by doing this:

1. Open your Control Panel

2. Navigate through Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management (On the left hand side).

3. After that look down the bottom. there are a number of rows with blue bars. Find your memory card and check if the blue bar fills up the ENTIRE row or box. if it doesnt, it would seem your memory card isnt partitioned properly.

4. (Only if it follows that context) remove the current partition by right clicking the blue bar and selecting "Delete logical partition". Then once that has finished you should have just a box with 'Unpartitioned space' on it. Right click the box and create a new partition(FAT?). Once you've completed that reinsert it into your PDA. Cant remember if PDA's support NTFS so i think you should stick with FAT.

If in 3, it shows the memory card as only have 2.5 - 3gb.. return it.

Hi,

Perhaps I should have been posting here!

What version of SPB tools do you have/use?

Des. . . ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
I used SKTools5 posted below, but I trust Spb Bench more results wise, but like ya said how your phone feels at the end of the day is what matters.

If you've updated to ROM 2 through Sony, did you remeber to format your Memory card as well, becuase in the post above, I described how WM places hidden system files on your X1. These system files, including Programs Folder are all designed for ROM 1, and if your running ROM 2 some of the programs could get confused.

My advice to back up on your PC all your personal data, music, films, software cab files etc from your memory card onto your PC and do a format of the memory card with the following Storage Tools. Under Fomat, click back-up FAT and choose 64 kb Cluster size which is the fastest.

Better still if you have time, do a hard reset, format your memory card and build your phone up again from scratch. Everyime you install some software , play with your phone a bit to see if it has any adverse affects. You should be able to find the offending program.

Do this then post back and tell how it feels, or show some results.
[XPERIA X1 General] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Might just do a complete reset and take it from there.

I did format the card - on the PC but copied all the files from it and back to it after the format!

Will let you know how it goes.... Ta.. :)

[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
CTC Network - I was curious that you tried the SKTools Optimize Tweak and the tnyynt Tune up tweak on ROM 2 with no effect, so I tried them self. These are two tweaks which worked well with ROM 1, but like you , from the results I have benchmarked they show no significant performance increase.

Optimise Tweak using SKTools.

Here are the Spb results, before Optimise on the left, and after Optimise on the right.

View attachment 176431

Here are SKTools results, again before Optimise on the left, and after Optimise on the right.

View attachment 176432

I also tested the tnyynt Tune-up cab which you mentioned also.

tnyynt SD tune up tweak

Here are the Spb results, before on the left, after on the right.

View attachment 176434

Here are the SKTools results, before on the left, after on the right.

View attachment 176433

Conclusions as you can see, judging just on these two benchmarks alone, like you I found both the Optimize tweak and the SD tune up have no discernable benefit for ROM 2, and like you I am now doing a hard reset to build my phone up again from scratch.

The only two tweaks for ROM 2 that work so far, in my opinion, are to change cache settings as described earlier, and the new Player Slayer, described earlier.

Oh well, some days you eat honey, some days you eat straw.

Personal Comment

I have to say I am pleased with ROM 2, having just done a hard reset, and applied the two tweaks on this thread I am struggling to find anything worng with ROM 2, unlike ROM 1 I haven't found any areas where it is slow and lagging. The fact that some tweaks are not working like they did for ROM 1 is a good sign. If my X1 had performed like this when I first took it out of the box, I dont think I ever would have started Turbo Speed X1 thread. They just doesnt seem to be much slack in the system to improve, but I will keep looking just in case. In comparisons it is unfair to compare the X1 with other phones, but we can compare ROM 1 with ROM 2 and ROM 2 seems to be much better all round.

If any members are having performance issues and problems with ROM 2 please post them, becuase to be honest I dont have any problems with it. Good job Sony :)
[XPERIA X1 General] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

I have the SK file dumped on the phone so will post that later, however, what I did notice when checking through all the SK results on the benchmark was that the memory read speeds were near abysmal compared to the stock results that were listed.

I also notice that I seem to be using a larger chunk of memory with task manager regularly reporting 32% to 36% or memory in use. That is about 3% higher than I noticed before on the ROM one.

So perhaps SE have sacrificed some performance for either battery life or stability?

My main concern, GPS and using TT7, does appear to have passed as I nearly always get a fix within 20 seconds.

TT7 doesn't run as smoothly as it used to though and there appears to be a noticeable lag in where I am compared to where TT7 thinks I am.

Or I'm driving to fast!!

Will be watch ing this topic with interest.

Quote from Groundzer0 on Turbo Speed X1......." Hi Mark A Cilenti,

funny you ask me that since I got the program based on your recommandation in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=337

The program is Speedbooster, and you said it made your device faster.

The download is the link you posted previously:

http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=speedbooster

The only thing I don't understand is that you said you've changed the priorities of several exe files, but on their website they recommand using only 1-2 boosted tasks at a time:

http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?s...ster#practices

Maybe the difference is that your tasks are not all running at a time.

Anyway, this is a newer version, I'm using it after I read your posts here, and I can say that makes my GPS software go WOWW!! So I also recommand it.

And the good thing is that they have some weird contest on their forums, and are giving away free licenses (I guess it's some kind of promotion), check this too:

http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2011

You could post this to your first page, since it seems a good tool and does speed up considerably. "

____________________________________________________________________________________

Groundzer0 - Brilliant :D I am so pleased you decided to post Speedbooster 2, I was playing with the older version the other day I had no idea a new version was out, Iv bought a license and here is my first Benchmark with nothing boosted, just the tweaks posted here on Turbo Speed Rom 2.

View attachment 177134

( Current High Score 6.45 )

The benchmark is also brilliant, clear, easy, quick and an overall score, this is the best race track weve ever had.

My Score = 6.45

Groundzer0 im sure you can do better than 6.0 , have you applied the 2 tweaks posted above ?

I will keep a current highscore with the name of any member who posts results on the thread title.

Come on lads, lets see what youve got under the hood :D

[XPERIA X1 General] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Well, I am surprised. With only a few tweaks set (as defined by you, Mark) and having completed my re-install (including a reinstall of the re-install of TT7!) I managed the following results as attached...

Is this good??

CPU: 7.79

RAM: 7.11

Storage: 5.76

Video: 4.85

Des. . . ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Good result, its about the same as mine, if your repeat the benchmark and disable all today Screen Plug-ins and turn phone and wifi off, you should get 6.45, although apart from once I have nt managed to get it again. I am now going to use SpeedBoost 2 to boost system processes, ( filesys, cprog, device, gwes, shell32, services etc ) found under Processes in SpeedBoost 2, I hope to get close to 7.

By the way whats TT7, is it a tweak ?

And what are your cache settings ? :)
[XPERIA X1 General] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

TT7 = TomTom 7

And cache setting, I believe were the same as you detailed above.. :)

Something that maybe worth playing about with, I think.

Ultimately though, tweaking one thing or another to benefit one performance measure will lose out on another.

Given my phone seems to be performing pretty much similarly to yours I can surmise that the phone is Ok and performing as should be.

Maybe it will be time to try a different ROM one day!

Will see what other settings get and what results are achieved.

I know that using SE panel 1 gives a hit on memory, but perhaps not on performance. Might be different for the other panels?

Ethermind, care to share how you achieved such excellent results? I can only get around 6.30, but not on a freshly installed rom.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ethermind:
it is on not very fresh, but cleaned up ( down to 100mb ) ROM

i just use adv config tool

> perfomance

cache - on

cache of fs - 8 mb

filter of fs cache - 32768 sect

cache of fonts - 64 kb

also i used tyyntSD, but not sure is active : )

BTW first time it was just 6.50, then 6.66 and then 6.48

6.66 is the best : )

i think random component is present : )
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Ethermind that looks like an excellent result, your sktools results are interesting, they are not ROM1 or ROM2, i think you are runnning a custom ROM, and its a hot rod. Your name goes on the scoreboard anyway, even if you have a rear difuser ha ha, respect.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ethermind:
i just deleted from ROM2 some apps (windows live, getting started, some panels), replace x1 calculator on htc calculator, replace picas of dialer etc.

so i think it can not affect prefomance : )
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Ethermind I agree with what you said, if we continue with the car analogy, a stripped out car, shedding weight will increase performance. I only install whats absolutely necesary and when im ' racing ' I have a stripped out Today Screen. Apps and plugins are like air con, sat nav, stereo and electric windows, they will weigh you down when racing.

This is my stripped down Today screen for race mode.

A Clock, bluetooth, wifi and phone toggle with programs and settings at the moment, at the end of the day this is all you really need. HomeSCreen ++ does all that. I wonder if I can shed some more weight :p

Hi,

Well I have done a few tests over the weekend with slight changes here and there.

Have had a variety of results and have attached most of them.

Also did an SKTools benchmark.

What is disappointing is 1) memory performance and 2) memory card performance. I have the tnyynt Tune up - still without effect it seems! Do you have to run it or something?

Fastest Rom R1A ?

Hi,

i had for one month the Rom RA2 in use, I'd found this version have almost the same bugs like the first release. And the bench results are much slower.

Now i had installed the original ROM for warranty reason. After installation i'd perform a hardreset and remove all panels except SE panel 1 & 2 and the radio panel and clean the system with SKTools.

Than tried to backup the hole database, programs, the complete backup from which runs with the R2A.

Big surprise,it works and it works very fast, not only in the bench, the feeling is also faster.

I'd tried the SpeedBooster but which each settings the performance drops. i never use it again...!

Gfx Boost Benchmarks

XDA Member Chainfire has posted a new tweak for us to use with our X1 called GFX Boost, here is his thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509704

Please read his thread for a full explanation how it works. It seems the program has to be running in the background for the tweak to be active. Here is a screen shot of the program.

View attachment 181035

I have benchmarked GfxBoost with the 3 Benchmarks I have posted on this thread, Spb Bench, SKTools Bnech and the SpeedBooster 2 Bench. Here are the results. Defualt ( No Gfx on the left, Gfx running on the right )

Spb Bench

View attachment 181036

SpeedBooster 2 Bench

View attachment 181037

SKTools Bench

View attachment 181038

Observations

The Bench marks I used did not seem to show a numerical quantitative improvement in score, overall results were slightly lower with Gfx Running.

Conclusions

I set some conditions for my posts on this thread, I said

1) if I cant measure it, I cant treasure it.

2) If results were not greater than 10% I would consider the effect to be a tweak.

So according to my own guidelines, quantitavely and numerically I personally cannot class GfX Boost as a tweak, but I have read the authors thread and the many testimonials from members who have said it made a big improvement to the performance of there X1.

I say try it and make you own mind up, here it is, please read his thread if you have any questions on how it works. If any members have tested it and find a quantitative measurable improvement please post it for us to examine.

HTC Function Test for X1

Here is the HTC Function Test which I think is used by HTC Engineers to test the funtions of there phones. There is no intallation just click on The Function Test EXE in the folder. There is also an HTC GPS Function test, very detailed. It requires your participation to verify the tests have been successful, an excellent tool for recovering X1 hypercondreatcs like myself :p

View attachment 181060

The function test was designed for the X1 , as it is also made by HTC, see screen shot below.

View attachment 181066

Just download the attached zip file, unzip, copy to your X1 and click on the test to run. Dont tick the clear storage test or it will do a hard reset of your X1, this is probably the last test the HTC engineers do when they test there phones.

If your worried your X1 has developed a fault in its hardware this is probably what HTC will run if you send it back to be repaired.

Rom 3 looks crackin, if your results are typical, cant wait to upgrade, looks like DMA mode is enabled for SD card too, like it could be on ROM 1.

ROM 2 has better video performance than ROM 1, can you confirm that ROM 3 also has equally good video playback, with WMPlayer or Sony Player, on a par or if not better than ROM 2 ?

video play is not cracking good,but it the same as r2.

P.S

i got 10 % video play increasement ,but with a small trick .

i am using the latest coreplayer.

1.open coreplayer open a video and benchmark it(and note your result)

2.go to settings and enable or disable media library,the player ask you to restart the player.

3.restart the player and directly open the same video before and benchmark it.4

4. you will see 10% speed increase .

i test it on couple of videos over and over and over ,the same result 10% ++

dont ask me why ,i just get these results.

please try it and the me if you have the same result????
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Thats a very interesting find and confirms my observations in the Tweak Player Slayer posted at the beginning of this thread. Basically its the same effect but with Windows Media Player, if you use the update library feature in media player you get around 10 increase in benchmark results, you noticed the same effect with coreplayer.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
I use the old school tweak during the time of R1A Rom, and I don't use Windows Media Player. So should I use this new tweak?
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Poetryrocksalot - it cant hurt, it seems whether you use coreplayer or mediaplayer , once the X1 has done an inventory (update library) of what is there, it can use it faster and more efficiently... quirky windows ... you gotta love it.

not exactly a speed tweak, but certainly a tip that can drasticly improve your device speed. Please forgive me if this is already painfully obvious

If you use a background picture on your homescreen (which most everyone does) keep it on your device memory, not on your storage card. My x1 went from Speedy Gonzolas to Limping Snail when i accidently stored my background photo on my storage card

Well the last two days my phone has been acting up. The first day i could not get the alarm to go off(Klaxon) and the phone would not turn off with the end key. So i did what everyone does when they cant fix something after just waking up. I took the battery out. To my surprise I could not get my phone to power back on all i get is a blue flashing led at the top. This is with all combinations of sim cards, sd cards, and different chargers. Not to mention i have tried every single button combination to turn the damn thing on. well maybe two hours later i decide to give it one last go before i head to the t-mobile store. Without a glitch it turns right on. It worked all day today until my screen did not stay on when i pressed it. I would have to hit a actual key to keep the screen from going to sleep mode. So i turned my phone off(the right way this time) and now it refuses to turn on again. Help?

[P3600 General] WMT:
Hi,

I suspect that a faulty ROM programme is keeping my friend's HTC P3600 from booting up properly. If he holds the Windows key (bottom left) at the same time that it boots, it will boot (most times). I can see it on my computer in as much as the driver loads, but it drops before I can get sync to see it.

Is there some way of hacking into it to load a new ROM if it is not seen by sync? Or is this now a brick? Thank you in advance,
