[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Gtj94:
Ok so many people are ditching the topaz because they find it too slow, or its performance just doesnt cut it

But i will stay loyal!

Im starting this thread to share tips and tweaks I'm using to increase RAM/Performance on my topaz and hope other contribute too :D

1. Use rom build 21680 if possible (It is the fastest build for Winmo currently)

- Energy rom and Enterprise rom use this build at the moment

2. Im a huge flash-a-holic and flash roms on every update (tip dont use XDA-UC...i find that it slows down sense performance by just a little bit imo)

3. This is my NUMBER 1 recommendation for all topaz users! Netrippers 'MSM7kCpuSpeed' it's an overclocker which improves performance by HEAPS

(the second one is an app that automatically underclocks when screen is off to prevent SOD's and help save battery)

4. Energy rom and Enterprise are by far the best rom for speed and Ram so i recommend either one of those

Energy - http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=562942

Enterprise - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742356

(for better Ram in Energy enable compact start menu saves around 30-40mb of ram)

5. MMAppLauncher to override the start menu to save ram

(you can map it to the "windows" button using Topaz Key mapper -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555821)

Very fast and ram efficient

6. Set pagepool to '0' before flashing a rom for better performance...though it slightly uses more ram (works perfectly if you use a different start menu or energy rom)

7. Using advanced config tool change all the cache sizes in the "performance" section to max (smooths out sense)

8. Try keep the rom as close as you can to when you flashed it and dont overload it with junk you don't use

9. clean up the start menu which is in the windows folder, this will allow the start menu to be more responsive

10. I personally use Cookie Home tab and design/create it so it looks as close to Standard sense 2.5 (minimal quick links and pages and turned off weather animation and clock flips)

I find it's very quick (faster then standard sense 2.5)

11. if you don't care about all that fancy eye-candy and stuff, flash a basic titanium rom or sense 2.1 rom which are good on battery/ram/performance

(energy has all these variations ^^link above)

12. Remove all the sense tabs you don't use to increase sense performance

13. Keep in mind skinning uses ram and slows down performance by a little bit

14. disable the dialer skin if you don't care about it (can be done using advanced config tool)

15. Arto's start menu remover and replacement

well thats all i have for the time being...if people want i can keep updating this thread when i find something new?

(Also keep in mind that im not taking into account battery life)

but my battery goes for about 1-2 days on casual use and thats fine for me (as long as it's quick)

and please share your tips :D
