BA WM5 extra registry speed tweaks

[efjay]

I ran across some extra registry tweaks at Aximsite for the X51v which seems to have improved performance on my BA. The extra reg settings are

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=40

The first two registry entries are already included in the wm5 fixes cab by mamaich but with a diferent value for the cache. I have been using the 4096 cache value myself already. I also tried the extra settings in bold and found it gave another boost to the PPC speed. Here is the original thread http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=104366&page=1&pp=20 Anyone else like to try and post feedback on their results? If confirmed maybe it can be added to the wm5 cab file.

Edit: Can anyone try setting this reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=2048 instead of 4096 as above. For me it seems to work slightly better.

I also tried changing these two entries for PIE, unfortunately PIE runs so slow i cant tell if it has any positive effect

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:10(dec) - default 4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"MaxRequestThreads"=dword:10(dec) - default 5

1. BA still works

2. Noticeable faster.

this seting realy speedUP BlueAngel running WM 2005 ????

[Dyzophoria]

noticed a a fair amount of speed increase in my BA, nice trick, i hope more tweaks like these come up :)

[efjay]

baniaczek, which reg keys did you apply?

For anyone else trying this, please state which registry entries you applied.

[Dyzophoria]

applied all reg settings to my system, but I guess the first 2 are the ones that made a significant difference in my device

[Pyrofer]

Is this a general WM2005 tip?

Is it worth trying on Universal?

UPDATE
Did this on my Universal (XDA Exec) and it seems faster, where did you see the main speed increases...

[ulfthomas]

Noticable faster. :)

Thanks.

[baniaczek]

baniaczek, which reg keys did you apply?

All of them.

-----------------------

Of course not everything goes faster.
Example - Settings menu. First time since reboot - no difference. Second time - very fast. Setting/Phone - like a dream.

File manager - looking into \windows - very fast.

regedit - refresh tree. Very good.

Green key [phone] - very, very, very nice.

Starting programs - first time - probably no difference.

I've just tested this using GXMark on an o2 xda iis with wm5 and patch 3.

It's also worth noting I'm running the overclocking util that was posted here a while back.

The results are:
Before applying change: 1755
After applying change: 1735

How accurate GXMark is for determining "perceived" benefits over actual ones I don't know.

Anyways, thats my £0.01

Very nice! Changing from using the WiFi to GPRS as Internet connetion takes a few seconds to apply. It took ten! Also other operations seems noticeably faster. Good catch indeed!

[KTamas]

Interesting. Speed was my main problem with WM5; i might install it again sometimes in the future...

[odie3]

Nice, my SX66 seems a bit faster too now.

The "EnableCache" was set but the others where not.

[KTamas]

What about the sound problems? e.g. the skipping in WMP/TCPMP?

[dpayea]

My Hero!!

CacheSize was 256 and it was very slow, by the time the phone rang (made a noise) and you pressed the green telephone key the divert on no-answer had kicked in.

After all the above settings being applied it's turbo charged by comparison!!!

[Mastiff]

Didn't notice that because nobody called me yesterday, but you're right! :D

[d3vil]

Speed in sms writing still slow? i went back to 2003se cause of that..
I'm tempted to try wm5 again but the sms problem makes the device unusable...

[Mastiff]

Nope, doesen't look like that.

[KTamas]

Just re-flashed WM5v3 and applied this registry entries. Awesome that's all I can say, thanks dude. I'm testing the sound with TCPMP and no skips so far. If it stays as good as it is now, I'm back to WM5.......

[ramram]

any feedbacks about the Pocket IE on showing the missing pictures? I need to know, otherwise I won't upgrade still it needs some tweaks..

[efjay]

@ramram, unfortunately pie still doesn't show all pictures on a site. I think its the gif's that are missing.

[ramram]

efjay,

I know mate it's a common problem to all, thus I don’t like to use another explorer, I hope someone come up a real fix for that it's really annoying, in between thanks for the tweak..

[pimbo]

Thanx,
Added them to wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks_WM5

[KTamas]

Well, this registry tweak does speeds up WM5 a bit and according to my tests, there are no gaps in audio playback anymore. Still, I'll still stick with 2003SE cause it is still faster.

no problem, its strange cos when i searched on my device for gif files Pie opens them when you click on them but displays a blank page so it know about them just doesnt know how to display them.

Yep, I agree. I upgraded once again to WM5 just to try those registry settings and it really does speed up a bit WM5, but some things are still slow.
For example, on incoming call it takes about 3-4 secs just to show a call and to ring while on 2003SE those things happens almost instantly...
And after applying these tweaks, I noticed one more irritating thing - when I power off device (or device powers off itself),
after powering on again I can't do anything on mda for about 12 seconds (as if it is processing something for 12s) :?

Weird! I have a lot less of that after the tweak!

Hi,

Thnx for these magnificent settings, they work on my magician WM2003SE as well. guess all you BA users on 2003 will benefit too, these settings seem to be all purpose WM. I applied the settings below and eveything is much better, gifs load&show faster, file browsing&copying is improved. The dialpad pops up quicker, don't know about incomming calls yet, but a magician is fast enough on that point. So thnx again.

Regards, M

[ncruz]

That settings make sense in devices with a lot of ram, since we are increasing the cache size.. Maybe in magician that isn't a good thing.

[oltp]

I've got around 35MB free ram to spoil, thnx to BIG Storage. I'll keep it in mind though in the meantime these are on my tricklist.
