[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Allen Mead:
Hi Chap, sorry to take so long in getting back to you. I have made the following registry edits;

Change:

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

This allows for much smoother font rendering, especially when scrolling and defiantely works!

Change:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize To: 131072

This creates a filesystem 128k sector cache filter, improves data throughput from ROM to RAM (probably) and does seem to improve indexing response and file browsing.

This didn't seem to make much difference on my device, but every little helps.

Change:

HKLM\Drivers\Display\VMMaxHeapSize To: 33554432

This changes the VideoMemory max heap from 16k to 32k. Definately works!

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! On my device, this was set to 0 by default. On the weather demo, the windscreen wiper is on speed!

NOTE: This is set to 0 by default, I changed mine to 1 and I think, it has actually helped to improve the free RAM.

Change:

HKLM\Software\HTC\MemoryRequired_ByAP To: 524288

Lets allow SENSE to have some room to breath, shall we? - Definately works! I would go as far as saying as to even double that figure. Definately makes a difference when editing contacts.

Change:

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

makes for faster image loading in album

I actually changed mine to 40960

Change:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\require_init_memory To 20480

Credit where Credit is due, the above is brought to you by g.lewarne Taken from here

Real Exit for HTc Album

By default, when you click on the ok/X button in HTC Album, the app minimizes and does not exit. Make the following change to really exit the app and thus save some program memory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum "ok_minimize" = dword:0

This works well, but then when viewing photos, they always start blurred and then clear, slightly annoying.

Boost Performance:

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS

Change - CacheSize to 4096. Works for some and not for others though.

Not sure if this does actually make a difference, but it's good to go.

Speed Up Scrolling of Internet and People Tab, Album Page and All People Page

You can spued up the speed of scrolling when you flick your finger by modifying the following registry tweak.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCScroll\velocity_factor

Change to 20000 or higher. Experiment to what suits you. Definitely works!

Facebook albums not working?

Try adding this Reg entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\OnlineAlbumSDK

"PhotoPath"="\OnlineAlbumTemp\"

IIRC, this is a String value. You don't need the HTC hotfix for this although it won't do any harm installing it.

This is brought to you by eras2r and can be found Here There is also a cab file to do it for you on that page. Only thing is, I want it to point to a folder on my storage card :(

Enable LED Notification Setting in Sound and Notifications

If you want your LED to flash when you have a new message, missed call or voicemail.. well you can't as it is greyed out. However the following registry entries can be modified to enable them or use the cab at end of post. Reset after changes.

New RSS Message:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{695F6B37-EE99-489b-982D-F9A46A944ED1}

"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15

Enable Graphical Send Icon Button in HTC Messaging

To send a text message you need to hit the left softkey button. The following registry tweak adds a graphic send button above the paperclip button. It also changes the 'send' left soft key to a 'back' soft key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\LSK_Send_Msg

Change from 1 to 0.

Enable Finger Friendly Touch UI in RSS Hub

The rows in the Channel view are quite close together making it a little tricky to select a category. The following reg tweak spaces the channels out more making it more finger friendly.

HKCU\Software\Ilium Software\RSS Hub

EnableTouchableUI and change from 0 to 1.

Increase the Number of Allowed Recipients in Group SMS

The max number of defualt contacts to send a group SMS is 10. You can change it to 50 by using this tweak:

HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\MaxRecipients

Change from 10 to 50

I think you can only do this if you carry out the sms client 'Hotfix' from this thread here - The'Hotfix' definately works! although I would recommend installing the version that can be removed should you want to and also, DEFINATELY turn off Sense or you will get error messages with Services.exe when you reboot.

Improve Performance and Speed in Opera

Increase Scrolling speed while browsing by using this tweak:

HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\PanFps=50

Increase the speed of zooming in on a web page by using this tweak:

HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\ZoomFps=50

Again Credit due where credit due, these and other hacks are brought to you by tboy2000 which can be found Here.

Bluetooth: Receive files without entering passkey(Thanks Jzhyok)

By default Bluetooth settings, when a device which is not on your paired devices list is going to send you a file by BT OBEX Push, the BT manager requires a passkey that is annoying and useless. Yet, you can't disable this in the normal control panel.

So, here is the solution:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0002

"Encryption"=dword:00000000

"Authorization"=dword:00000000

"Encryption"

0: No passkey is needed.

1(def): Requires passkey if the file is sending by devices NOT in the paired list.

"Authorization":

0: Receive all files automatically without asking.

1(def): Ask for each file if you wanna receive(you have to choose whether to receive or not).

I leave the Authorisation set to 1 but change the Encryption key.

Enabled ringtone sound through Bluetooth headset taken from here

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

"SupportedFeatures"=dword:000005EF (1519)

Enabled the following Camera Tweaks:

Burst

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P6

Change "Enable" from 0 to 1

Sports

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P8

Change "Enable" from 0 to 1

Video Share

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P9

Change "Enable" from 0 to 1

GPS Photo

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10

Change "Enable" from 0 to 1

Finally, one not to bother with is adjusting the resproxy value to 0. It does free up quite a bit of memory, however, everytime you reset the device, it returns to it's previous value, see here.

by all means, try it out, this is where it's located,

HKLM\Software\HTC\ResProxy

"ShareMemSize"

Change this value to zero

I hope the above helps you out, it's the hacks I have carried out and it certainly makes this ROM a far more enjoyable experience!

Oh something else I forgot to mention, make sure that you are using your carrier's latest SIM Card, I had issues with having signal, then going through a bad signal patch and the radio just did not want to search for a signal at all unless I turned it off and on again. Updated SIM Card seems to have fixed this........... Watch this space.......

What I would like to know, is are there any hacks that will close off, the RSS hub and sms client when you exit as these just sit in RAM, would rather close them properly rather than just minimise.

Oh, still having issues with HTC Peep, still can't work out why it doesn't make any sound when you receive new tweets following the initial download.
