Slow landscape/portrait change

got kaiser 2 weeks ago, overall great phone but it is a little slow.
particulary when oppening the keypad, it takes about 5+ seconds to change to landscape mode. and when it does it still slow (slow responce, particulary from keyboard) for another 10-15 sec.
is there any solution to this problem?
thanks

Thats indeed strange, mines responses instantly.
have u tried increasing font, glyph caches? That may help a lot!
FYI (experiment with numbers to get your own best results)
This stuff is included in kaiser tweak, but you really cant modify the numbers to your own!
Increase font cache
To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Enable FileSystem cache
To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size
Increase FileSystem cache
To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Increase FileSystem filter cache
To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system filter cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

hmm, i actually have those tweeks enabled, and have not noticed any change in performance of landscape mode.
what ROM do you have on your kaiser? if it's standard then which by which company?
i have UK vodafone one.

Today plugins
Have you installed any 3rd party today plugins? More importantly, are they on?
I had (still have, in a way... bear with me) this problem with SPB Diary.
Without it being represented on Today, the reorientation portrait-lanscape-portrait took maybe 2-3 seconds, with keys being immediately responsive. With Diary ON, it's closer to the 30-second mark, and keys remain unresponsive for another 10-15 seconds. GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
(and this even on a newly-HR'ed machine, mind you)
The problem went away once I started using SBSH Pocket Breeze instead, although it irked me having to buy another app to do the same thing, sigh...
What's funny is that my boss is using the very same incarnation of Kaiser and he has no problems whatsoever with SPB Diary...
So, I say you switch off everything bar HTC Home and try again. If it works well, then start experimenting with plugins, you will identify the culprit.
If it's NOT that... sry, no clue.

Thanks for the suggestion.
just tried disabling all today plugins, didnt do a thing.
it takes exactly 3-3.5 seconds to switch. keys become responsive pretty much instnatly but dont show up on screen for 4 seconds.
i did have spb diary installed but i hated the way it took up most of the screen so i deleted it.
i just need a simple, today/tomorrow meeting list that's all.
will give pocketbreeze a try.
i'm suprised to learn this is not a general prolem, i've seen 3 kaisers and all are slow when you open up the keyboard, but if some people dont have this problem then surely there is a way to fix it.

yup.
use their stuff.
sorry, but CNRM

I got the same problem, 3-4 sec for switchin portrait to landscape or viceversa.
I notice it as I used a PalmOS device previously and everything was almost istantaneous there.
It is really annoying.
Mine has ROM v 1.56.408.5
Any solution / patches?

Original OEM ROMs are known to have a lot of "bloat" installed that can cause overall system lag.
I am running NoThrills WWE based off of the most "official" WM 6.1 ROM to date, and of the 20+ ROMs I've flashed to date, it is the fastest performing ROM by far.

non stock
I'd flash new rom and radio and before installing cabs and changing settings to test the performance besides the normal performance settings and see what that does.

Create a Scrollwheel app?

can someone out there create a scrollwheel app that makes it work for all apps, not just in a couple of apps?

great idea...

nice idea

What do you want to do with scroll wheel?
If you want to scroll the active app you can use your finger.
If you want to zoom in or out that's quite application specific which is not an easy task to do. (Config scrollwheel app for each application differently, maybe.)
Anyway the second one should be a good feature to use.

see & add reg HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/
you can use scrollwheel to any apps like jog.

Could you maybe give a more precise howto?

Yeah help us out here, I would like to know it too!? This would be great! Step by step for the noobies please!?

The registry there reads:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch]
"Version"="1.00.31096"
"Threshold"=dword:00000008
"FirstThreshold"=dword:00000008
What should be added? I must say I'm a bit skeptic about this...

for example of RescoExplorer
Create key and value, as below
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/RescoExplorer
(String Value) ClassName = RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS
(DWORD Value) Mode = 4
(DWORD Value) WheelCount = 2
reset
you may use scrollwheel at RescoExplorer like jog.
if use other apps, you must know app's class.
RescoPhotoViwer's class = RESCO_PICVIEW_CLASS
InternetExplorer's class = IExplore
File Explorer 's class = FEXPLORE
CorePlayer's class = wCorePlayer
etc...
Dword Value "WheelCount"
1 = Movement of one every 36 degrees
5 = Movement of one every 180 degrees
10 = Movement of one every 360 degrees
Probably, you cannot delete created keys.
To delete it, stop SmartTouch Service.
HKLM/Services/SmartTouch
but...It doesn't seem to be so convenient...

someone try this and tell us if this works

Yep, it works. I just tried the exemple he wrote. But it's a lot of work if you have to do all of your applications this way!?

could someone write a cab to activate overall scrolling like the cruise?

yes pls! the wheel is useless!

How can I know the applications classes names?
Would be possible enable it for TF3D?
Thanks

This screams for a small config app to be written so we can make different settings for all our apps. SK team??

also for the call histry & contects list...

!!Finally!! Fix for low Bluetooth Headset sound issue!!!

Hi there,
since i got my Kaiser i always had a problem with the low BT Volume. I tried many fixes from here but noone works for 100%.
The only lud roms were the PDA Corner ones.
So i made my own
Install the attached cab and restart your device. Then sound will be fine and loud.
If you use SRS Wow it won't work after installation, cause i had to change the drivers in registry.
@MODS: CAN WE MOVE THIS TO DEV/HACKING SECTION? CAUSE I THINK THIS COULD WORK FOR ALL DEVICES!!!

what exactly does this do (on your phone, what does it change, or is it a program always running?) and if it makes things worse is it uninstallable ? (since I see it's a cab).

Yes thats right, the most of the cab are just reg keys, there is no app or similar that runs in background. The audiopara.csv is from an oldr att rom.
First i trie every fix around here on xda-developers, but no one of them worked properly. Then i mixed some of the together, and i noticed an improvement. Some days ago i got the csv file and replace it with the one in my actually rom and volume was very high. I checked this on several roms and for me it seems to work. Some of the reg keys don't do anything with the volume but they improve the sound quality over bluetooth.
Would be great if some of you could post their results.
Don't matter, i don't know if you can completly uninstall this, but there is no key or so that will make bt or so not work anymore.
Also it would be great if you could send my you audiopara.csv files and the reg keys of the rom you are usin (if it's loud), so i try to improve it more and more, or am i the only one with bad volume?
If anyone is using a pda corner rom at the moment, please send me the reg keys and the audiopara3.csv cause theese roms had the best sound quality and volume with bt.

well I tried it out and I guess my bluetooth is slightly louder. ( I checked it before and after)
No adverse effects.
Solace v1 (ROM version 3.29.707.0 WWE)
Radio 1.70.19.09
Windows Mobile 6.1 of course. Hope that helps in some way.

Thanks my brother,i'll test your cab.​

Hi Jecky
Thanks for this !!!!!!
To be honest, can't differentiate a "absolutely louder" feeling.
Can you tell us how to modify / what / which part to modify by ourselves to alter the volume up or down? Thanks.
My BTHS is Omiz2099, when matched to ELF is loud as hell. But when match to Asus P552w GalaxyMini2 is soft as hell.
Hence this is much appreciated. eventhough not feeling significantly, but Thanks still.

Did u changed the parameters of the sound variables to their maximum values in that registry tweak ????

BT headset micro_speaker volume change
BT headset's micro_speaker volume hasn't increased, but MIC pickup has, after I changed everything to "100".
I notice there isn't any BT heatset micro_speaker's volume control.
i.e. I suspect need "BTVol_PhoneCall_??h_??h" = ??
but I don't know how many h or whatever to use behind.
Anyone can shead of light?

SOLVED - Cyanogen 4.1.6 - Compcache Disabled - Still taking up RAM - How to free?

SOLVED: Compcache makes AVAILABLE the section specified by your ROM or userinit. It doesn't reserve the space or partition it. Like what you see below, my TOTAL Mem stayed the same, but the Swap total went up with compcache enabled. Then when I enabled the linux-swap partition, the amount of swap jumped to 56000. Finally, when I disabled compcache the total amount of RAM didn't 'go down' because the space wasn't reserved...it was just available. Thanks to ccyrowski for the help.
Hello Everyone,
First, I did search. That is how I figured out how to disable compcache and enable the swap. It's working great, however since I am no longer using compcache, I would like to make available the RAM that it is using. Here are my free commands:
BEFORE:
# free
free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 97928 96356 1572 0 8164
Swap: 24476 15516 8960
Total: 122404 111872 10532
AFTER:
# free
free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 97928 96416 1512 0 300
Swap: 31768 3092 28676
Total: 129696 99508 30188
Notice that the Physical Memory is still the same number, despite compcache being disabled (well, atleast swapoff'd) Here is my userinit and you can see that it's just enabling the swap.

QUESTION: Is there any way to re-allocate the compcache section of my physical RAM to be used again? There is that 24476b that I cannot use, as I'm using a swap.
Thanks for your time.

Ok, so where is it taking from? I understood that compcache is a Compression Swap that runs in RAM. Is that incorrect?
