What is the best way to speed up my phone?

Hello,
I recently purchase a T-Mobile MDA. I love the phone but, it seems that the processor is just plain slow. It takes seconds between application launches. I have hear that I may be able to send my phone to some one who can speed it up memorywise?
My question is is this a good idea and how much does it cost?
As well as is there a way I can get a program to remove what is taking up space in my phones memory, storage and memory?
I am also confused about what a ROM is? Is this something I should consider?
I would appreciate any help, thanks.

You can send the phone and pay for someone else to do the same thing you can do, there is no hardware upgrade only software/registary tweaks.
There are several things you can do to speed things up, they have been discussed here extensively I would suggest doing a search.

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

I think the best way is to overclock...

I tried overclocking but to tell you the truth the best performance gains came from removing software (Anti-Virus) and reg tweaking.

Upgrade to a stable latest ROM could be a big step-up in speed as well, among some other improvements

first, upgrade to the newest ROM version.
second, run Omapclock to overclock your Wizard to a maximum of 260MHz. (240MHz is preferred)

Are there any drawbacks to this omapclock and over clocking mechanism?
eg. loss of memory space/storage space?

reduced battery life + possibly instability depending on how far you go.

I think some big differences need to be explained about speed and responsivness.
Speed is how fast the thing actually runs, responsivness is more what it sounds like this guy wants.
In our case, speed will help us squeeze another 2-3 fps out of our video players, where responsivness will make a program load in 1 or less seconds. Your standard reg tweaks and hacks will help with responsivness. If you have a video file that is kinda skipping or laggy, then overclokcing will help.
You will get little to NO performance difference with a few mhz overclock on your main OS.... I would be suprised if it did anything and not surprised if it slowed down.
In the end, look about the forums, there are MANY hacks and tweaks here posted and on other websites off of google which will help with your responsivness problems.
Some search items to look for:
GDI, animated menus, fat or fat32, cache
Thats off the top of my head, those should make you run pretty fast.

Let's do better
Here goes :
Speedup Display :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
Limit=8192
Disable menuanimations :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu]
AniType=0
Speedup filesystem:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\]
CacheSize=4096
EnableCache=1

I don't understand this post. How do I use these links?

they aren't links, they're registry changes
you'll need to find a registry editor to do them

Okay, I have a registry editor, as in memmaid, and resco explorer. Can someone explain how I perform these registry changes?

The are probably better and more detailed explanations but basically:
1) Launch the registry editor
2) Navigate the tree structure to the appropriate part (like using explorer for files)
Then either,
3) Edit the appropriate value (i.e. 'Anitype' is already a variable in \System\GWE\Menu) - select the variable (tap) then enter the corrected value (i.e. from above DWORD value is '6' change to '0')
or
4) Insert a new variable with the precisely correct spelling, then enter the appropriate value(s).
NOTE: You have to enter the correct type of variable, but generally you are adding:
Key (like a new folder)
String Value (has a name and then a 'string' value)
DWORD Value (has a name and 'DWORD' value, usually in dec not hex)
Hope that helps... like i said, there are better explanations out there...
PS you should often have to re-start your device for the changes to take place!

Open the Resco Registry Editor, search the key which is between the [] and adjust the values as suggested above.

Looking for Herald Registry settings...

If someone can help me.. I am trying to make the Keyboard sliding sounds work on Hermes.. since we dont have a HKLM/Software/HTC/SlidingSounds key in our registries.. I was wondering if someone can give me the registry settings for this so I can add it into my hermes.. <since they are all WM6 builds>
Thanks

Heres that folder exported to a .reg file. Not sure if thats all you wanted.

I have the SlidingSounds application installed, so I got that folder in my registry now.. I am just trying to figure out what the registry setting is that initiates it... I selected the tone I wanted, but when I open the keyboard nothing happens.. I dunno is something that loads it up or not..

Settings
I think there might be more to it then just a reg edit. There's actually an icon in the settings tab that "controls" the sliding sound, so my guess would be that there's probably a little more to it than just tweaking the reg.

What I found
Here's the only reg entries I found for the keyboard noise
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\;key or value path
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\ActiveSlidingSound;value name
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\SlidingSoundEffect;value name
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\0\;key or value path
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\1\;key or value path
HKLM\\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\2\;key or value path
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet8\Path;data
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet8\Name;data
HKLM\\ControlPanel\SlidingSound\;key or value path

I think there might be also a .exe or something. If I remember right - i saw something in windowsfolder.
I cannot search ebcause my terra bricked. hehe

How to tweak the amount of a message to download? NOT using default options?

I am sure there is an easy solution...I just don't know it.
I want to download messages and attachments to my device BUT I want to download MORE than 50KB and LESS than the entire message, for example I want a 2MB limit.
Under the options for each mail account is a screen for download limits. But the choices are 2K, 5K, 20K, 50K, header only, and entire message.
Does someone know of a tweak that can be applied to get something inbetween 50K and the entire message?

just go with the whole message or go into the reg and look around and set your own values I have no idea where they would be but Im sure if you dump the .hv file into .reg file and look around you can find it pretty easy!

Does anyone know where that registry setting would be? I can't be the ONLY one with this issue, can I??

HKLMWTF?

Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.
Thanks in advance.

registry editor

as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)
HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?

you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.

Ok, I was able to get this far but how do I get to changing things on the phone registry? It seems to bring me into my desktops registry. Im really computer stupid, bare with me.

Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.
You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.
Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.
Greetings

if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor
if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install
to the pda
if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there
but as stated if you dont know what you're doing
messing around with the registry is not adviced

Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.
Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.
ie:
Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal
Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
Enable Better Power Management
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.

Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.

Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.

I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.

I didnt realize it was obnoxious. I was trying to reiterate my confusion in an extreme fashion. Sorry if I offended anyone.

AutoCompleteRecipient not found in registry

The “autocomplete recipient” on my xperia is not working.
Good news is that I’ve found a couple of thread that serves as pretty good solution to the problem.
Bad news is following the instructions to change the registry in: HKLM\System\Inbox\RecipientAutoComplete, i found that there is no “RecipientAutoComplete” in my phone.
Therefore in this case, how do I get the recipient auto complete to work?
If not, how do I create one?
Appreciate if someone could help me out. Thanks…

you have to make one. specific instructions depend on which registry editor you are using

I can't find that key, either. I created it and set the required DWORD value, then reboot the device, but it doesn't work.

did you create a dword-value "RecipientAutoComplete" or did you create the folder first and created a dword-value inside?
"RecipientAutoComplete" is a folder with more keys inside, not a value itself. Just in case...
In my registry it looks like this: (not sure if it works with this values on every rom!)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete]
"MaxSuggestions"=dword:00000000
"IncludeContactsGroups"=dword:00000003
"DisableIMEContextInAddressFields"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete\SuggestionGenerators]
"phone"="{BEBD4D6C-33D1-473f-8F78-FB1A42712610}"
"email"="{99ae0ef2-0772-4bd4-8f49-d0672b3f6480}"
strange thing is that "max suggestions" is set to 0, yet i get names from the first letter on... maybe there's more to it?

caliban2,
I did exactly the same as per your instruction, but still failed to get the expected result. Maybe there are something else I did it incorrectly....
