[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vito Andolini Corleone:
Halo!

Well I had originally started this thread to find a way to increase my quadrant score which was lying in 800's when i was on eclair 2.1, then i had a score around 1.2 K while i was on Froyo Beta 3 by Z. I had read so many posts in which people claimed to have a score of 2.5 K and above!!!

Now that i know how to improve your Quadrant score and make your phone fly, i am editing this post and converting it into a guide which aims to help fellow xperia users to get a high score.

Thanks to my friends here who helped me know the method! Love you :D

Okay now the introduction has been taken care of, lets start with the work at hand.

Follow these simple steps correctly and then enjoy remarkably high quadrant score.

1) Go to Xrecovery by Z

2) perform a full system wipe

3) delete dalvik cache

4) wipe battery stats

5) install a fresh copy of beta 4 by Z (this can be found here )

6) reboot the system

7) let your device run for about 15 to 20 mins, and reboot your phone a couple of times giving your phone 15 to 20 minutes time before each reboot so that the xperia gets adjusted with the new settings)

8) install gapps

9) install data2sd.zip by Z from here via x recovery

10) reboot

11) let the system get adjusted with data2sd

12) reboot once again

13) wait for some time

14) run quadrant benchmark and see your jaw drop down when you see the score ;)

Additional Tweaks

Usage of d2sd, may lead to some sporadic lags unless you tweek vm heap and sysctl. Both can be adjusted using apps in market. The settings are posted below which should help you to eliminate these lags by a great extent.

1) SYSCTL SETTINGS

With the appropiate settings, this app can improve performance and battery life. What it does is that it modifies certain kernel parameters related to virtual memory management.

As a reference, the settings I used were:

min free kbytes: 16284

dirty ratio: 5

dirty background ratio: 3

vfs cache pressutre: 0

Oom allocating task: Enabled

(credits to burshturs for the settings)

2) VM HEAP SETTINGS

Keep it at 32

3) It is also advisable to clean your cache periodically, one such app which will help you in doing so is cache cleaner NS which can be found in the android marketplace.

4) You can also use apps like "set cpu" which is a paid app and is available in the marketplace. It basically overclocks your processor which makes your device more snappy. But use this app with care. Another alternative is "Overclock Widget" which is free of cost in the android marketplace. It too performs the same Function as SetCPU. But let me warn you before hand, use the over clock apps only for quadrant scores, they heat up your device if you clock it to 1GHz all the time. In additional to heating it will also consume more battery.

5)You can also put your device in aeroplane mode, this helps in getting a better quadrant score only!

ISSUES

The phone will lag a bit in the beginning, but as the day progresses, your phone will run smoother and smoother and then after a day or two you will see that your phone starts flying! You can follow the above listed Tweaks to remove the lags if they persist.

Additional Tips:-

I would recommendyou to use better quality SD cards, preferably class 6 to 10 since they are relatively faster in processing and rallying data to and fro from the SD card thus making your device more responsive and fast.

DISCLAIMER!!! The data2sd.zip is an experimental feature to play around with and is not supported by Z at the moment.

One more thing, Post your scores here and hit the thanks button if this thread helps you out!

Please give a good Rating to this thread inorder to keep it alive so that future xperia users can also have a look at it. :)
