Choose the setting default values, then soft reset and uninstall.

I set gwes.exe filesys.exe shell32.exe and video tops and this is benchmark.

Will do a hard-reset later and check original as it was 6.9 overall before.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] god.dog:
cool, that's something! :eek:

I think I should start considering selling my device (especially now that I broke the screen) and buy a faster one!

Is there any special setup you did to get that score?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
That's no tweaks custom ROM in sig with nk.exe 101MB patch, GFXBoost to be honest i think i could get that higher by shuttin down processes running as have monitoring for text\data, AEButton , Weather app etc still runnin.

The one thing i do is keep a clean system as far as installing only what needed to device and always cleaning temp etc.

To be honest i expected the Video to be less as nk.exe uses some of the gpu to claim RAM "from what i have read" only prob with Kaisers is lack of full graphic driver support.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] player911:
Perhaps someone can export their registry before the tweaks, then export it again after the tweaks... then use a program like BCompare to compare the two.

If we know what settings are where, we could cook them up by default.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Comparing benchmarks from one device to another is pretty useless, imo. You have to remember that the older devices have far, far fewer resources to manage. Having a qvga screen vs. a vga screen will make the older devices seem faster in some benchmarks-but that doesn't mean they're better (or faster). Far from it, it's just easier to draw bitmaps and what-not on a qvga screen than it is on a vga screen. I have a WM 2003 pda (asus 716), and it kills my fuze in a couple of sk tools benchmarks; in particular, the RAM access index is ~12X greater on the asus. Trust me, the fuze is a much better and faster device than the asus.

That's pretty much the magnitude of the 'improvement' that I saw. Probably not noticeable in real use (although you can convince yourself that things are better).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corepda:
I just deleted the whole program using sktools, it was a algebric puzzle for me. :( I am happy with nueclock. Thats a complete app for my device. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
No convincing here infact i was going to post about that how i didn't see any improvement and never in my post did i indicate improvement just that it went up on the benchmark slightly :D

And just like you said many differnt factors in benchmarking so what we see means nothing... "Mind you know my Kaiser rocks, but then again my older devices where SP's and a Magician" :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, you could go get an '81 Toyota, and it would probably get the same gas mileage as a 2010 Toyota. Which would you prefer to drive, lol?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o0ldsch00lz:
Good point. I've read your explanations above too. The logic is straight forward and I believe you are correct, however from my inside hardware experience I'd add the following:

-unless it's overclocking, you can't get more out of your processing unit (in this case windows mobile devices)

-if it's overclocking will use more power and heat more (resulting in shorter life)

The app in this thread however seems to do something else. From what I've read and tested, it sets priorities over processes (besides some other registry hacks that I won't discuss here). "Boosting" the speed this way seems like an interesting alternative. Now why do I say that?

First of all 'cos it's not overclocking so it doesn't use more power neither it shortens the life of components involved. Instead it takes CPU resources from some processes and puts more to others.

But, from what I know this will only work if you choose your 2-3 (few!) favorites and boost only those, 'cos if you set all of them on maximum, then there is no gain.

Doing such a configuration requires some considerable knowledge on the insides of the OS. I can see there are already a few users here who managed doing some improvements. One can try to speed up system components responsible for drawing, file system, memory or given processes that need more smoothness (boosting fexplore.exe will open /windows folder faster, boosting the video player will give extra fluidity to the movie rendering, more on GPS.exe will load maps faster , so for games, etc etc).

Now back to what Farmer Ted said. Older devices had smaller screen, yup, true, and drawing uses hell of a CPU, especially on hi-res screens.

However the OS was simpler too (with lesser animations, bells and whistles) have you ever tried a Win95 on a current generation computer? It sure is a difference!

But getting to hardware level, a BlueAngel has a strong CPU, while the newer OMAP platforms can hardly reach that state of performance. I'm not saying old is better, it's just strange to see how competitive older devices can be.

Sure I'd take the 2010 Toyota anytime.

Bottom line I'd like to see a comprehensive list of benchmarked devices. I think it can be helpful for one that needs to decide what to purchase. More CPU, more Video, both? :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] god.dog:
Thanks! Exactly the details I needed. I need to fix my device and see what part of what you said applies to it.

Any special requirements before doing the benchmark (I can use the trial version for that, right?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PoisonWolf:
Guys,

What exactly does the "battery hack" do?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o0ldsch00lz:
You might want to post this question on the Teksoft Forums (the developer), but according to a Speedbooster 2.0 review by Clinton Fitch :

"This hack changes the way your storage card is powered by your device, saving a few milliamps here and there - all of which adds up at the end of a long day of use!"

If indeed this saves a few miliamps, it's a considerable gain in time, for eg. I had to do a project, for a known company, with some issues on battery drain: the optimizations required to go from 14mA consumption to 8mA. I guess this little really matters.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PoisonWolf:
Oldschool,

Thanks, that helps and makes sense. I'm guessing it has something to do with turning off the SD card whenever possible.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:
Thanks Oldschoolz every bit of positive info we can get about this program is helpful. This program has helped my tilt considerably. especially like the fact that you can assign different settings to different programs to improve performance. There are some on here that post negative feedback only because they do like a prior poster indicated Full Blast on everything when this program is designed to add boost to the areas you assign it to. I suggest that anyone needing more proof to what this program does should read the review on link you posted. Thanks Man!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SuperPuma:
A question for speedbooster users

I know that there are some people who say that after install the speedbooster program, their devices were faster and other ones that say that their devices were slower, I have a question for both:

When you installed speedbooster, did you already do the tweaks and hacks (the ones to increase memory, decrease the delay from the keyboard …) to your devices?

I made that question because some time ago I bought speedbooster, I installed on my HTC Fuze, and the Fuze was faster than before(I was very happy), after some problems with Quick GPS, I had to hard reset my Fuze. Starting with the stock rom again and before install again speedbooster, I did some tweaks to the Fuze, and the Fuze works great with the tweaks( device speed increased ), and at the end I installed again speedbooster, I hoped to see a super speed( tweaks + speedbooster), but I noticed that my device was a bit slower with speedbooster, so I uninstalled it, and now I’m happy only with the tweaks.

Does Somebody have a similar experience?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
You might want to consider who you are talking to before you decide to get snarky with a very knowledgeable member. There was nothing necessarily negative about the comments that Gsleon3 had to share. His point was simply that this program doesn't overclock the phone, and it doesn't do anything that can't already be accomplished with a simple registry edit done by any experienced user here. What he said was that this program is nothing more than a simplified way to do a few registry hacks with nice graphics. If you're a person who wants the easiest way to make these type of adjustments and doesn't mind paying $20 for something you can do easily yourself, then disregard his words. I for one actually looked through this thread for Gsleon3's comments because I know that he will offer some objective insight into the value of a program like this, which I would not be able to ascertain myself. I don't know why you felt it necessary to attack him, and then complain about him in a second post, but that kind of attitude will not get you far. There is nothing wrong with stating what the program actually does, or does not do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fronc:
Haha, you just made my night.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:
Thanks for your reply no pun intended. If you look at the end of my post you'll note that I also joked so you don't have to be so defensive in your response either buddy. Thats the problem to many people take this stuff to serious and have no regards for other peoples thoughts. Its cool that your boy is knowledgeable and all thats to be respected, but my point is still as I stated if some people find that this program improves performance in certain areas on their PPCs and want to spend 20 dollars that there perogative. Its not for me to turn around and overide their perception of a noticeable difference by saying there's no Magical Beans when this program does work.

Have you read the Clinton Fitch review on this program? You should read it as it breaks down what this program does. No. buddy. You shouldnt have felt the need to respond to a differing opinion. What you've said to me also applies to you. As far as attacking him I dont know what you're talking about i offered my thoughts just like he did. So respect me. I'm looking for that second post also where you CLAIM I complained about him. Next you'll be saying I complained about you if I post my opinion. I think you need to take a deep breath Mr. Moderator you sound a bit snarky to me also. Peace

By the way looked through the threads and cant locate where I complained about gsleon. Sure you didnt mix up threads? My attitude will take me far Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] claus1953:
Not working for me. and i had to uninstall again, as my device was slow and almost unresponsive after using this "Speedbooster". Now after uninstalling and soft reset my device is fast again as before, so i am sure it was due to this software.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:
Did you only set 1 or 2 settings as my understanding is that you're only suppose to apply full settings to programs you want performance boost in.

Some are saying there devices are slower if all setting are set to full. Also have you appplied registry tweaks? I use advance configuration 3.3 and have tweaks file cache enabled, 8mb, 131072, 128mb. Try installing speedbooster 2.0 then set setting file system cache on speed booster to full soft reset when prompted. In advanced configuration set tweaks to those indicated in this post and soft reset. Attached is another Speed Boost tweak install this

and after soft reset your phone should fly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sbettencourt:
This Thread is on fire...mmmm???

Ok... If some guys have problems with speedbooster, bad luck i think ur don´t have speedbooster with the license... But, don't say with 100% sure, that speedbooster don´t work!!!

Have some respect for the users who tried, like me, and have better performance with speedbooster and the trick with Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3

By the way...

Thank's

jcc332006 for the this thread " speedbooster "

So... who will call me a liar and i don´t have a really better performance on my HTC?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:
Thanks Man. I wouldnt have started this thread if it were a farce. I've experienced great performance with this program and just wanted to share my results with everyone. I respect that some peoples experiences will vary, but I try to stay clear of minimizing other peoples observations. Ive tried sk tools and messing with the registry ect, but did not see the boost ive experienced with this App. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks Man!

By the way have you read the Clinton Fitch Review yet? Its very informative.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tcchuin:
it has conflict with sktools...those having problem with it,perhaps try uninstalling sktools..atleast it worked for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
First, I would like to clarify that I know Gsleon3 mostly by reputation, and by his actual contributions. I do not know you, or any contributions you have made and therefore I assign significantly less value to your opinion, not out of some "moderator loyalty" but simply because I believe his actions speak for themselves. He has done some great work in helping many many people recover from bricked devices. I don't say this to offend anyone, but simply to explain my way of thinking.

Second, Gsleon is correct in all of the things he said and there is no need for you to reply with a bunch of sarcasm and no substance. If you disagree with his points, then reply in a polite manner with some actual useful information. Gsleon actually never said you would not see improvement by using the program; he simply stated that most of the improvement can be accomplished through the use of a collection of registry hacks. I personally tried the program in did not note any significant improvements, but I personally belive that is because my device is alreayd heavily hacked with a collection of items that I've collected in my many countless hours here at XDA. Additionally, my post was in no way snarky (which means bitingly sarcastic, btw), but simply me recommending you exercise a little more tact when discussing issues with a member with significantly more knowledge than you.

As for "people taking this too seriously", my rather thankless job is to read through threads, clean them as necessary, occasionally correct bad behavior (which is what I was doing.) If you disagree with my assessment feel free to discuss it with me in private, discuss it with any other moderator, or directly with Flar. I have no real personal agenda in this matter, I merely read your thread because it caught my attention. I tried the program to see what I thought about it. I read Gsleon's post, which summarized what I suspected was true about the program based on my own observations. This is in no way mean to belittle the improvements seen by some users, or even recommend that people shoudl not try out the program. My comments were simply a recommendation, and one that you would be wise to just take for what it is worth rather than antagonizing moderators.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o0ldsch00lz:
scotchua, no offense man, but this is so not helpful (and a bit annoying). Do you really think your buddy needs you to play the advocate?

back to the thread,

I've done some research to see what exactly this thing does. From what I've seen it is somehow similar to Windows XP's Set Priority option in Task manager. Now the only issue is that the Windows Mobile SDK doesn't have any reference to "process priorities". Must be a different approach but I'm quite sure it something like this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
I give up, apparently nobody can read. Gsleon is not my "buddy", and I have not spoken to him in probably 6-8 months. This is simply about people who don't know what they're talking about being rude and sarcastic to those who do. This is my last post in this thread on the matter. Just please take my advice and be more constructive with your responses, especially with those who disagree with you. Those who aren't I guess I will take care of without any explaination.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
I agree, that is basically what one part of the program does. It allows you to set certain applications as having a higher priority when it comes processing information. As for the file cache, and battery hacks, they are nothing new, but it is a very nice well designed and easy program for beginners to use. Most everything this software does can be done via registry settings; however, I am fully aware that not everyone is comfortable fiddling around in the registry.

Because i have a pretty extensive set of hacks that i load through an xml file during my UC, I didn't notice as big of a performance boost as some might have. I think it also is related to the fact that I have a fuze and that it is already significantly more powerful. Unfortunately I do not have a Kaiser on which to test the software. I have every confidence that those users who have not heavily modified their phones may see a noticable difference.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tcchuin:
a free task manager which can change the piority of a process can do the same job..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:
Mr Moderator you cant let this rest can you? How did I antagonize your buddy? By offering a dissenting opinion based on mine and others experiences with this program? Youre kidding right? My comments were my opinion also and its not for you to use the users contributions or lack of as an excuse to exalt your buddys opinions to GOD status. Some of us may not be XDA GODS like yourself or im sorry HUGE CONTRIBUTORS but it still in no ways mean that others opinions or small contributions are less important. Please enough with this i just want this to be a positive thread for those of us who do see improvement on our phones. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
To only hope now i don't have to duck :D:eek:

Runnin the program over the last 3 days benchmarking before after, flashin stock ROM benchmark blah blah blah.

Yeah i have been busy.

So what is my findings?

I think that if the software was totally free then yeah it would be worth it for that slightly more performance that to be honest your eyes will never see, uless your suffering with a placebo effect.

The benchmarks before and after are hardly ground breaking, benchmarks are inconsistent under the same scenario.

I'm sure that i could make a bit of software that does nothing except show clock speed with overclock feature and people would reply that there device is faster.

Yes it has happened previous with Kaiser as untill recently there was no software but peeps where using that HTC Performance thng "sorry can't be specific as never got blagged by it" any way they where seeing improvemets........

All of this is just i.m.o. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
No need to duck, constructive criticism is always welcome here. Here's the program you are talking about, and I agree with you, I remember having the same discussions about this program too.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, I'm not seeing much. I run my cache at 8 mb normally, and have the glyph cache maxed out, too. I think a lot of the improvement others see may be from opening up the caches. I never knew anything about thread priorities, though, so it was interesting to read GSLeons' post about it. You can change them with sk tools (in the task manager), but it's not as easy as with speedbooster. Right now, I've just got gwes.exe maxed out, and it seems to be working well. I also run my browsers that way (whichever one I'm using, I've got 6, lol). Maxing out Shell32 makes things a bit too wiggy for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jaime Méndez:
I haven't posted much in XDA forum but I am well experienced Atom Exec cook. I have to say that this software is nothing else but an easy way to set some reg keys to increase devices speed. How much? it depends on stock ROM's. Some devices might benefit more than others and most of them will be benefited just a little or nothing at all. Other devices will have big battery drain like mine, 5% per hour in standby.

I hope my comment doesn't hurt any body's feelings:rolleyes:

And I don't mean to be sarcastic ether;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rovex:
I tried increasing manila.exe priority. It seemed to work really well until i rebooted, then the effect went. If i set manila to the maximum though it crawls along, so i set it one notch lower than max. Im running a Touch HD with a 6.5 energyROM, which is already pretty fast.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcc332006:

Thanks Man!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moto2000:
jcc, youre hella annoying me.

quit using words like "mr moderator" and "buddy", who the hell do you think you are? also, your exaggerations are stupid, you blow things way out of proportion, nobody said anything about xda gods, or HUGE contributors. Have respect for people who actually know what theyre talking about and have experience. scotchua did not once criticize you nor did gsleon.

to be honest man, it just sounds like youre just trying to help sell the product. this thread doesnt have to do anything with being "positive" its about being real. I would like to know what a program does if im going to pay $20 for it, and if i can do it for free, than im def going to save that money.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tcchuin:
there's some improvement in performance..but the battery usage are...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o0ldsch00lz:
Actually the interesting part about this program is setting the process priorities. You might want to read some of the posts above. The idea is that you keep the CPU as it is (at the given frequency) and then you decide where to allocate it more. This way you get no extra heating/battery usage, but instead you can use what you need better.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] god.dog:
I've just fixed my device today! I'm so happy about it.

Thanks to the knowledgeable people here, I've installed Speedbooster on my device to make my GPS faster (for some reason, when starting the GPS app and when searching for routes, my device was almost frozen for 1 minute or so).

I've added igo8.exe in the list and hit the priority to maximum and now everything runs so smooth and fast like it would be a different device (or a different software lol).
