Snails problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi, did anybody tried Snails? It is good game, but on Diamond it is lot a laggy. And thats bad, becou on other phones this game run smoothly even on 200 MHz CPU!

I've got Snails Reloaded and it runs just fine.
ROM is custom based on 20273.
Did you enable GDI cache?

Oh, it is nice to meet someone who knows the thing.
So, there is the story: first, I downloaded Snails Reloaded from PDA Mill (My intention was to try it before buy it) so, I installed it on Original 1.93.401.2 ROM, Instalation run OK, and then first problem came - when I set game settings, and clicked on -->, sound of click was played, but nothing happened. So i clicked it several times, and now the game started, but it was laggy, not much performance, even on my A701 phone set to 100 MHz mode it was maybe better. But, i read benchmark table here on XDA, and I figered out that original 1.93 ROM is kinda slow on games So I flashed last ROM from SwiftBL (5) and tried it again, but the same result, laggy, and multiple clicks needed to start the game.
About GDI cache, I dont know nothink about it, but game like snails should run on 528 MHz CPU perfectly, so I am little frustrated.
I hope you have enought informations, so if you know what should I do, I am listening

So, I searched for that GDI cache thing, and found nothing. But, I dont belive that Diamond´s CPU is unable to run this game smoothly even with original ROM. Is he can not, it is a piece of s***.

Does disabling the sound fix the lag ?
Try maxing out your caches:
Either with advanced config, or add this to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00020000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"EnableCache"=dword:00000001
"CacheSize"=dword:00000800
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ FLASHDRV\FATFS]
"FatCacheSize"=dword:00000200
"DataCacheSize"=dword:00000400
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt]
"ReplStoreCacheSize"=dword:00008000
Be careful as it might make your device unstable.

Thanks for reply. I will try it tommorow, it is deep night now at my location. Anyway, I tried next game, anthelion, also from PDAmill, and it runs slow too. I understand that 3D game could be slower, but even menu is laggy, and same thing, Asus P535 on 416 MHz can run it much faster than Diamond in 528 MHz. Maybe some WM 6.1 problem? Do you can play snails withount that problems I described? Does WM 5 has that registry tweaks you wrote me activeted? I played Call Of Duty mobile too, but this game is fater on Diamond that P535. I will try more and I will post.

Finally TI OMAP Overclock tools

I hv come across this overclock utility for TI OMAP, OmapClock 0.2
I have tried it on DOPOD 818, overclock up to 240MHz, runs without problem. Opening SMS dan File Explorer is now alot faster.
Anyone with TI OMAP processor should have this !!!!
It should run on Smartphone too.
main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284
Great find...thanks...
Works brilliantly. Thanks
Impressive! What about CPU temperature?
I'm equally impressed by the speed gains of this little program, but am somewhat concerned about other potential side-effects; like frying the CPU!! :?
Anyway, I'm using 'batti' to keep a close look on the temperature. It's qite a handy little tool.
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
Please let us all know how you get on with this program over time.
P.S. Does anybody know what temperature should NOT be exceeded by this CPU? Mine is currently at 30 degrees and it was at 24 when I started using the overclocker.
Correct me if i'm worng but the batti app looks like it shows battery temp, not cpu temp? (prehaps your battery temp ahs gone up because you've been holding your pda ;-p)
My Bad! Temp is for battery NOT CPU!!

Thanks for bringing my attention to this very important point. :wink:
Anyone know of an application that accurately shows the CPU temperature? :lol:
when i run in 300MHz which Mini S, it will hard reset.. I don't know why
hi minhbu_sg,
when i drive a 90° curve with my car at 100 miles per hour i always have to leave the road just kidding. the reason for hard reset is just of physical nature. you have exceeded the limits of your built-in omap cpu. at 300mhz it does something but not what it is supposed to do. same thing when you have, let's say, a glass of whisky. having one glass of whisky does slightly influence your cpu (brain) and everything you are trying to do is a little bit easier (at least you feel so) but having a bottle of whisky drives you doing things you don't want to do at all.
so keep overclocking you omap moderately and you get the best benefit out of it.

hi
i install this software and i put my device clock to 300 and it stop working.
i try soft reset but it didn't start. and i try to hard reset it also didn't go
please help what should i do.
thanking you in advanced

i installed this on my kjam and worked great with noticeable speed boost, BUT....
when i suspend the kjam, and open it again, the speed goes back to the defauls 180.
is this normal? or something has to be done to enable the speed i choose until the next soft reset at least?
Yes, it's normal - and yes, you would have to use some manner of application to re-start the overclock after a suspend. See also the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284
Can somebody tell me how to run this program. Im pretty new to all of this and not sure where to install on my qtek s200 and how to run it.
Thanks!

U device (Qtek s200) is a HTC Magican. This forum is about HTC Wizard. Try to look in Magican forum.
People! When wizard is in suspend it runs on 180 mhz? Can we decrease this value in suspend mode?
oh yeah!!! now, my device [818 Pro] run faster @240MHz...it seems as same as XDA Mini...[even better]...thanx!!!
cheers...Oi...!
i'm confused
i'm using a Dopod 818pro,and i already used the omap overclock v.0.2 ... i copied it into my device (not storage card).then i run it on 252Mhz,and set action..so the speed is already 252Mhz and very fast... but i've got some problem,when i turn my device to standby mode,and when i push the power button to sms someone,i check my speed,it went back to 180MHz,is it normal?? cause if it runs under 180MHz,that means it didn't run at 252MHz right????
thanx any way.....
sort of off topic but that batti program is nice...
it's kind of like the battery meter that comes with spb, but better...

Reasons NOT to upgrade to WM5?

I've beat the learning curve and i think i'm now ready to move up to wm5. But first i was wondering if, besides the bluetooth, there are any reasons, for me NOT to move up to wm5?
thanks.
it is a little slower than 2003 but it is more stable than 2003, if bluetooth is not an issue for you try wm5 you will like it, if you not like it you can always downgrade
Its slower than 2003SE, and sometimes you feel like throwing it against a wall....more so than 2003se.
I used my friends HP ipaq, boy that thing flew (2003se) it was responsive with hardware and software buttons..must be using a faster cpu.
so a reason not to is the speed.
do you guys have yours overclocked?
Overclocking?
I do, well, techincally it's vary-clocked. I use Power Hacker which automaticly adjusts the CPU speed as needs be. In idle the CPU sits at 100Mhz and on load it jumps up to 554Mhz with various overclocking on the RAM and such like.
The fact it idles at such a low CPU seems to give me a bit more battery power to make up for the higher drain when in use.
There is a topic about overclocking on the main "Blue Angle" Forum.
As for reasons to upgrade to WM5, to be honest I've forgotten! I think it was just because of a few annoying bugs, like the BT and Wi-Fi connection issues (having to soft-reset the stupid thing everytime I want to reconnect to my home wireless.) and also just because it has a nicer layout.
You know, before my next WM5 flash I might just go back to WM2003SE for a couple of days just to remind myself what's so great about WM5....
the only problem i have w/ WM5 is the keyboard problem. lags sometimes and keys lock

Unfortunately that is for Himalaya 8)
Sorry !!! My mistake.
But is very goood !!!
A speed question.
So i've been playing around with emulators. Mainly morphgear, pocket snes, and pocket nester. To get the best performance out of the blue angel while playing very resource intensive games like legend of zelda link to the past or super mario world, (both with sound), i'm having to overclock.
So i started using pocket hack master, ( phm for the searchers).
The highest i can put my settings without it crashing and to make these games run decent looks like this.
SDRAM clock: 147.50 mhz
pxbus (internal bus) clock: 148.00 mhz
run to turbo multiplier: 2.00
Mem to run multiplier: 2.00
Turbo is 592.00 Mhz
Run is 296.00 Mhz
Now. After looking at all this information my question is how much more resource intensive is wm5 going to be? Will these roms not be able to run reliably? I'm assuming i'm just about topped out, and i'm also assuming that wm5 is going to take more juice. But i'm wondering how significant of a difference i'm facing?
Does wm5 run slower because it's more resource intensive or just slower by defualt? as in the way it's coded?

Omapscaler: auto over/under cloking

http://www.oliy.co.uk/download.asp?dir=\software\OmapScaler
it is working fine in my wizard but some ppl complain about causing soft resets or not working at all:
about resets: ver .11 have a "max clock step" option, try to reduce it, my wizard works fine with 50 but some ppl r using 25 or even 20...
about not working at all:
1- unpack
2- copy to windows folder in device
3- copy also omapclock.exe to windows folder in device
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/OmapClock_v0.2.zip
4- create an icon or run manually
5- set ur desired options and press save
6- copy the .lnk created to windows\startup so it stats with windows everytime (but test it carefully before doing so or u can end with a neverending soft-reset cycle)
my config (working)
- overclock marked and 240mhz (some ppl report soft resets over 220,
reduce this number also)
- above 70%
- underclock marked and 120mhz
- below 30%
- default speed 214mhz (this is the speed center, used if u dont mark
overclock or underclock)
- max clock step 50 (if u have soft resets reduce this number)(mine
work fine at 50 but resets over 70 as example)
- update period 2000 i guess this is the time between system
monitoring of speed in miliseconds, but please correct me if im wrong
- clock threshold 2 (i guess this is the step between clock changes,
but im not sure what is a period...maybe an internal clock tick?)
ok, i tested this one, if u increase it it takes more time between clock changes,
another thing to try to solve soft-resets, i tested 3 and 4...and takes more time
between changes...
some comment: it speeds up depending on the cpu usage but for some reason it dont get along fine with agile messenger in my setup...if agile is connecting it appear as if the device hang but in fact it resumes operation in 10 secs or so...so try to test it first without loaded applications...then load 1 by 1 and test...
lets talk about this and try to solve problems for the ones that have them...
btw...im using molskis rom and working flawlesly...
hi, there,
I followed your instruction fully.
however, when I clicked Omapscaler, I got an "error exception".
I wanted to show you the details..... but I couldn't "copy & paste" the message.
Noted that, I have been running smartskey + Omapclock at 252 stably for long time, and now with Risidoro 2.26 ROM.
hope to get it working.......
thanks,
ecchi
Cool, I'll give this a try ASAP and report back
Activesync quits
I installed the Omapscaler. It seems to work fine. I have it set fairly conservative - middle at 200, underclock at 170 and overclock at 230.
If I am connected to activesync, it quits after a few minutes of idle time. Have you noticed this?
-Kal.
Mine does the same, but in my case it puts a red cross over the green circle, it didnt sync anymore but i can explore the wizard files...and it does it also without the omapscaler, i guess that that have some relation maybe with the proccessor clock losing sync with the pc...dunno...but in my case is not related to omapscaler...but related with the overclock...
Yeah, I saw the same problem with ActiveSync and rom updates.
Just disable the omapscaler, run omapclock and set the speed to 200 or so, then try again.
Oliy, great program, thank you
Again...in my case i tested activesync just using omapclock (NO omapscaler) and does exactly the same...
Since I got the "error exception" with Omapscalar.witrh my current ROM (risidoro), I have started trying XCPUScalar. However, it is not any more stabler as some ppl had mentioned.
Bottom line:
Omap + smartskey ==> most stable, tried at 252, but about 1 day of battery only.
XCPUscalar ==> fixed at 232, stable. fixed at 247 reboot sometimes. Autoscaling b/t 117 and 247 reboot 50% of the time when you launch/close/activesync. I am testing now autoscaling between 117 and 232. Hope it will work.
soft resets with max clock step at 10
I had the max clock step at the default 50, and got a soft reset. Then, per the advice on this thread, I reduced it all the way down to 10. It still soft resets. I have top speed at 230, default at 200, and bottom at 170.
So, I am giving up on this program.
just a q. it stays at least some seconds or die instantly? omapclock alone works?
Yes, it stays up for a while. It seems like it stays up until it goes into standby mode, or I put it in standby manually. A bit after that, it soft resets.
I have not used Omapclock by itself. I have never felt the need for it. But, something that automatically scales up and down to suit the load seems very useful to me; so I tried it. I am willing to keep trying it, if there are bug fix versions.
-Kal.
Maybe ur problem is with the overclock per se, not omapscaler...try using the device with omapclock fixed...if ur device resets then omapscaler is not the faulty...also, what rom do u have? maybe we can pinpoint the problem to a specific rom or set of roms...
hmm... the problem cannot be overclocking, because it goes into the soft reset directly from standby mode. I would think it would be *underclocking* when it is on standby mode, no? Let me do some experimentation with both overclocking and underclocking using smarskey with omapclock, and see what I can figure out. But somehow I doubt that is the issue.
I have standard stock Cingular 2.25.11 rom.
-Kal.
I have been running Omapclock at 230MHz for a while now, with no problems. The Omapscaler would have definitely reset by now.
And what device exactly and with what rom do u have?
It's a Cingular 8125 device, ROM version 2.25.11.1 WWE (stock ROM that came with the device from Cingular).
Omapclock has been running for almost a day now, with no problems, so the problem must be with the scaler.
-Kal.
A theory...
In case the developer is monitoring this thread:
I saw in the other thread on this forum that someone reported that XCPUScaler has the same problem as I have with resetting when in standby mode on a Cingular 8125 with stock rom as well. It may be that these units have some kind of daemon processes that run even while the unit is standby (I know for instance that my unit retreives email when in standby mode), and that causes activity that pushes the scaler to try to scale up. And maybe the unit (or the rom os version) doesn't like the processer speed being mucked around when in standby mode. Or maybe, even that the API call to sense the CPU load craps out when in standby.
This is a conjecture of course, but it seems to me that there can't be very heavy activity during standby. So, could the developer please try to disable scaling when in standby mode? This may solve the problem. Or maybe, just make that an option that people with this kind of a problem can select.
Just a suggestion...
-Kal.

i have read around that there r several levels of standby, full, partial, etc...maybe he only need to modify it to work only on "full on"...
but maybe we r both wrong thinking about it a lil longer...maybe he already thought about that and omapscaler dont work when on any kind of partial standby, in any case the device is in standby, u r not going to notice if it takes 20 more seconds downloading the mail as example...
and btw, xcpuscalar didnt worked for me also, random softresets, but omapscaler worked like a charm (now im using batterystatus solution and also works fine)

Wizard Omap Overclocking

I'm thinking about overclocking my Wizard beyond the stupid 195 mhz. How 'bout we all put down our clocks so we can have some suggestions on how to overload our Wizards to the max!
Good idea, go ahead and give it a start yourself;]
I've always heard/read that it's unsafe to overclok wizard beyond "the stupid" 240MHz, but i don't quite believe it. Feel free to try and inform me, what say you? ;]
I'm bringing it to 210 right now. Can't say I notice a difference, eh?
As was said by many people on this forum, you won't notice big difference below 240. most programs operate with similar performance, and battery life doesn't change much neither. Only skype is said to run better - personally i didn't feel anything while doing this, so i don't overclock myself after checking it out.
i use to run at 260 with no problems ever. but i decided to go to 240. since there wansnt a big change in preformance from 240~260.
240 is good for the wizzard. I play doom,quake,wolf3d,and skype with no problems.
Skype does make my device hot after 30min of use.
Agreed
Running mine at 240 according to Omapclock. No problems and alot faster.
Yep, been running it at 260 also. I did notice a change in performance with with my bluetooth headphones. Less music dropping out and Arvale I and II seem to catch up with the headphones on.
But yeah, 240 might be my next standard. But battery life wont change? Are we sure?
been running at 260 for a long time now. No problems.
I used to run 240 (24-7), but the phone would "reboot" when on phone calls sometimes. I moved it down to 228 and zero reboots, thus far.
A friend gave me his MDA today as he never used it. I will be doing some testing on that thing this week.
MDA Over Clocked
I have mine set to 252 for over a year without any problems.

You are very brave. Search for the other threads on this topic. I run my at max 260 and use the scale function to "float" down to 143. Works very well.
--M
I've been actually floating myself from 260 and 195. I set it to 260 when I'm impatient waiting for thumbnails in pictures to load up or when I'm playing a heavy graphics game. I only get crashes when I switch from 195 to 260, but that's only when it hasn't been switched for a while.
312 is brave...
I've been at 260 for months, since 273 causes my system to hang / crash. I'd love to go faster...
I only overclock for watching videos or running my GPS software. . . and -- even then -- I limit to 240. Works like a charm and my GPS keeps up with my lead foot.

Hi,
I'm running 260, but haven't been long enough to see any damage, but the phone is much faster.
How much can these things take?
All my pc's are madly overclocked, but a busted cpu / mainboard are cheaper than a phone.
I've been running at 260 on various ROM's for over a year now. Haven't had any issues with rebooting and it does make a very noticiable difference compared to the standard 195Mhz. I have noticed recently that my battery is starting die big time so I am wondering if the overclocking has taken it's toll.
I run mine at 240 (as per the omap settings) 24-7.
I have just moved to the XM6r2a Lite Version from the standard o2 WM5 release ROM and have had no problems. I found that when I clocked at 260 it would occasionally hang. No problems at 240 though.
My device is the fastest I have ever known it running XM6r2a Lite clocked at 240.
...
I tried running at 312 just for the hell of it and found there to be no problems...
at least at first glance. After browsing the net for about 30 min, the screen started to frizz out on me and i couldn't click anything and I noticed my mda was getting quite warm (112 i think, hehe)...
Long story short, It worked well in short bursts..but for the long haul, 312 would have fried my cpu
im running 247 at the moment and i notice a difference

Why is my TyTN II slow?

Hi all,
First post here for me Got my TyTN II a few days ago and I'm loving it. It's such a nice phone and has a great build quality.
The only big thing that I find disappointing is the speed of the device. My previous phone was an HTC Wizard and my TyTN II is supposed to be literally double the speed of it, but there's no way it feels like that. In fact the Wizard, when overclocked with BatteryStatus to about 260Mhz) seems faster than this new beast (at times).
The things I particularly notice the slow speed with are...
- opening the keyboard (switching from portrait to landscape mode seems to take 2-3 times as long as with the Wizard)
- navigating (scrolling) through the list of Programs just seems sluggish compared to my [overclocked] Wizard
Another peculiar thing I've noticed is the speed of the "view finder" in the camera. It seems sluggish to the EXTREME, almost like a "night mode" is permanently on! I've noticed that sometimes putting the device in to standby and waking it back up gets the view finder running at "full speed" (what I would say looks like 25-30 fps).
Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?
Dave
Did you add any applications (which may not be 100% compatible) after getting the machine? I had a Wizard too and am waiting for the TyTN II to come, but with the Wizard certain applications slowed the phone down much!
Regards,
Nika.
Well yeah, I've loaded it with a ton of rubbish now but in all honesty I noticed the slow down when I first took the machine out of the box.
The camera preview/view finder is particularly puzzling!
I've just put BatteryStatus on (a) to see if the CPU is constantly working and (b) with the hope to overclock it a little. I've just noticed that it doesn't support the TyTYN II processor tho so that's out of the window!
Once a new cooked and "polished" ROM comes out for your Kaiser, it will work faster. Almost every first official ROM is buggy and sluggish. it's not the hardware, it's the software.
One reason why I don't buy a device on it's first release.
About the camera preview/view finder slowness, it is due to not enough light in the room.
I was puzzled also. I tought I got faulty device.
Try to use it outdoor, it is very good when it has enough light.

In fact the Wizard, when overclocked with BatteryStatus to about 260Mhz) seems faster than this new beast (at times).
The things I particularly notice the slow speed with are...
- opening the keyboard (switching from portrait to landscape mode seems to take 2-3 times as long as with the Wizard)
- navigating (scrolling) through the list of Programs just seems sluggish compared to my [overclocked] Wizard
Another peculiar thing I've noticed is the speed of the "view finder" in the camera. It seems sluggish to the EXTREME, almost like a "night mode" is permanently on! I've noticed that sometimes putting the device in to standby and waking it back up gets the view finder running at "full speed" (what I would say looks like 25-30 fps).
Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?

Well, this surprises me. Mine is very fast and in particular for those things you mention!! Screen orientation for example is virtually instantaneous (maybe 1 to 2 seconds compared with TyTn that could take 5 to 20 seconds) and scrolling (with the exception of PIE) is smooth and fast. From standby by to on is less than a second. Compared with the TyTn the camera on 2mg is much faster as well.
Not sure where that leaves us then, if you say it was like that out of the box. That does not sound like it's something you have loaded, but might be worth re-checking that with a hard reset.
I notice a suggestion above that a new ROM might be faster. I really question that because as I say my ROM (presumably the same as yours) is very fast and the single most impressive thing about the device!
In your situation - I would seriously consider a hard reset to be sure it was a good installation. If problems persist, I would be tempted to look at a replacement as that slowness is not normal.

Once a new cooked and "polished" ROM comes out for your Kaiser, it will work faster. Almost every first official ROM is buggy and sluggish. it's not the hardware, it's the software.
One reason why I don't buy a device on it's first release.

That was certainly true with the TyTn, but my Kaiser (unbranded) is superbly fast. Virtually instant switch on screen rotation scrolling (except PIE), so I'm not at all convinced this is the problem in this case.

Hi
Main reason for making a device slow is running apps from the memory card. Especially if they are there in the background. Make sure that everything on your today screen and everything that runs more often is on the main memory. Storage card is good for instlations of everything you use and then close (e.g. SatNav, Camera apps etc.)
Kaiser is running extremly faster than anything else.

GOOD point! Not sure if the OP does this automatically as we all should, it's easy to overlook the obvious sometimes!

same experience
Hi - I too am having the same problems described above regarding the slowness. I'm using the default HTC installed rom (1.56.405.5).
Were you able to solve the slowness issue? If so, how?
Thanks.
I'm having an odd slowdown issue. Everything runs incredibly fast pretty much 90% of the time except when I'm syncing. Everything on the device slows to a crawl and it takes forever for activesync to finish its business. This occurs both when I'm syncing via the USB cable and when I'm doing it via bluetooth. Any ideas?
Bellfazar, the exact same thing happens to me too... I'm using Vista btw.
Plus i have a serious slowdown after softreset (so maybe it's software related, don't have time for hardreset), but after a minute or so, its fast again

After a soft reset, the phone has to load everything in memory for the first time.. So accessing the Programs window or the start menu the first time takes a while. Accessing it for the second time, everthing is already loaded into memory and fast again...
Is there not a powertool for WM6 which can help us disabling stuff?
You can use Startup Manager by Baniaczek to disable items that start at warm reboot. Or remove them manually from the WINDOWS\Startup folder

And use HTC Task Manager to kill running applications and/or close them when closing an app instead of minimising it...

sometimes since the new kaiser tweak version i can see (batterystatus) that my processor keeps running at 100%. everything slows down. even a soft reset does not help. when i soft reset without my storage card everything is fine but as soon as i insert the card 100%. man this sucks.

Yeah, I can imagine! Especially when it seems you're the only one (or at least the first that complains). I don't mind trying to help you, but you'll have to answer some questions first:
1. What KaiserTweak.exe (time/date of file) and KaiserTweak.xml (time/date of file, or name of zip-file you downloaded) versions did you load?
2. What tweaks did you use after implementing the new version?
Regards,
Nika.
i never said it was the kaiser tweak nor do i think thats the problem. i restored to a backup from a week before and this still (sometimes happens). so you got me. When i figure this out i will let you know.

Hi all,
First post here for me Got my TyTN II a few days ago and I'm loving it. It's such a nice phone and has a great build quality.
