1) HKLM/Software/HTC/TouchGL/FilterPixel_Range To: 30

2) HKLM/Software/HTC/TouchGL/FlickGestureDistance To: 10

The above string names I see are:

2) /FlickGestureDistanceThreshold

Remaking the CABs now. NOTE!!! If you want to revert to old values, you can just _uninstall_ them from settings --> remove programs. That's actually what I was referring to for 'long app names' because you can't see which one is which in there ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazzarin:
Sorry for the delay, had to run out.

OK, overview:

Disable Vsync - as the name implies.

Memtweaks - This was basically anything relating to using more memory for smoother performance.

In particular:

Sector Cache Size

Album memory

...filesystem cache, and turning it on

high glyphcache

24bpp display

SMI2 alloc

MemoryRequired_ByAP(Floor on memory used by Sense?)

VMMaxHeap

The scroll tweaks are all the ones listed referring to HTCScroll modification. Fixed the value in error (I thought it was really low, but I figured you knew best ;) ) It ALSO includes the HTCScroll.Enable bit --- but this is already on for my ROM! So I'm not sure how someone said it breaks theirs. Upgrade eh?

And then the touch sensitivity tweaks are the ones that touch TouchGL.

I tested the Vsync one and it worked (checked the reg) so I assume the rest work. Let me know if there are any issues.

Again, if you don't like something, you can uninstall the usual way from settings --> remove programs.

That wouldn't be related to registry changes which my cab does.

It's possible that the phone isn't actually off - but it looks like it. Press the reset button under the battery cover for a few seconds. I've had that happen once a couple flashes ago - it looked off but it locked up while shutting down (???).

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Much of these tweaks will drain your battery faster than before. It should be noted that anytime you increase memory performance, you're drawing more heat, thus leads to more battery usage.

Maybe the OP should make a disclaimer in the first post so others will know what they're getting themselves into (even though they're not aware of all the reg settings)

Great thread and thank you also for the tips.

I also recognized a big boost with Mr. Vandalays Rom V2.2 (base 2.07 & 567MB Ram enabled) but also some instabilities after enabling all the tweaks.

I am testing now only the Vsync off.

Is it really true as mentioned above, that more you activate cache as more battery drain you have?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [★]:
Thanks, Im noticing some nice change :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargon01:
Well I've done these 4:

Change:

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMenus/EnableVSync To: 0

This turns off VSync in sense, making it MUCH smoother. check out the speed of the weather animations now! see that they "judder" less!

My weather still judders and I can't see any real difference with that....

Change:

HKLM/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE To: 524288 (change both keys in there)

This allows for much smoother font rendering, especially when scrolling

This seems to work and scrolling seems much smoother in Resco for example...

Change:

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Require_Activate_Memory To: 20480

makes for faster image loading in album

Can't really see any speed difference in the albums...

Change:

HKLM/System/GDI/Drivers/Bpp To: 24

Now this IS interesting. I dont know if its just me, but were HTC holding out on us display wise? Changing the BitsPerPixel (colourdepth) from 16 to 24bit, for some reason, whether the display is actually capable of true colour or not, not only MAKES THE SCREEN LOOK BETTER but its also FASTER

Again, I can see absolutely no difference in display. I'm trying to see these imporvements and am not trying to be negative but I just can't see most of them. I do notice quite a large battery drain though!

I'll try a few more but in general I haven't noticed too much improvement so far.

Just to let you all know i have rom version 1.664052, Radio 2065107.

It is a new HD2 phone on Tmob.

On some manual reg tweaks the phone would state access denied. So I went down the path of installing them via the cab files, this worked a treat, i have doubled checked the reg entries to confirm that they had installed , and they had.

So far i havn't had any probs with the phone and there has been an improvement overall.

Please remember to always make a back up before messing around with your reg.

Again thanks for the grait tweaks/cabs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumpleforeskin:
it does not work like that, whenever the cpu calls data it will call it from memory. If the data is not currently in memory it will need to be loaded there before it can be processed. By preloading commonly used data into memory (cacheing it) you save time because the data is immediatly available - so more speed at a cost of greater memory consumption (but hey, you have paid for the memory so make it earn its keep :) )

If any of these tweaks are causing reduced battery life it will be due to excessive CPU usage due to memory mismanagment and not by using more cache, And if there is a problem with certain reg entries causing excessive CPU usage it will be important to find out why, and correct the problem. This should not be the case but WM is always full of supprises

So to answer you question, using your memory to its optimum should not result in any extra battery drain, infact it may save you a tiny amount because you will achieve your work a little quicker and can let your phone have a little sleep a bit sooner

Even tried by forcing it to create a new db and then it prompted me to login and when I did, it still displays the login :)

T-Mobile USA HD2?

I'm still using the STOCK build that comes w/ the USA model. However, I've made so many registry tweaks, it's difficult to even keep track of them anymore. Well, I'm wondering if the allocating MORE memory for HTC Sense tweak actually works...

Granted, with the upgrades on the USA model, it may NOT seem necessary to most users...

HOWEVER, the value by default in the directory is, "0".

And here's one more query; WILL a majority of these tweaks be "as efficient" on the USA HD2? Figureatively they should be, yes? So, has anyone tried some of these outlandish ones on it?

Okay.

So, after having read quite literally, THIS ENTIRE THREAD... it has occurred to me that almost everyone who has posted here doesn't notice any significant changes or noticeable differences in performance on their devices. However, there are the select few that make serious claims regarding "major improvements" or "really fast now" types of comments. I apologize for this little tangent here, but I'm wondering if some of those folks are accepting said positive reviews as some kind of "placebo" -- because that's the way it seems.

I have my doubts and second thoughts about some of these minor tweaks, but who am I to second guess this popular thread.

Can anyone report positive feedback on a STOCK build from T-Mobile USA? If so, then I'll gladly bring some much needed attention to this thread from other T-Mobile USA HD2 owners. (P.S. - I'm not always this nostalgic.) :D

This thing actually works. I'm using Energy ROM April 1 version - 21898 with radio 2.08.

Enabled some bsb tweaks, mostly camera/opera hacks, no glyphs etc.

Technically, all animations are smoother, especially sliding.

One of the most noticeable improvement is reading and scrolling my big pdf books (50MB++) using Adobe LE, I read a lot of books and scrolling from pages to pages takes around 2-3 seconds using the plain energy rom. But after installing all 3 cabs, it's now less than a second, which is awesome! Technically, I think it's because you max out the RAM and it doesn't need to POLL the slower storage card that often. And hopefully it helps the battery.

Battery wise, I'm still monitoring it. But it feels like it drains pretty quickly. Maybe just my imagination. Will let you know once I got the exact figure.
