Diamond Tweaks

[notisz]

Hey guys i used the advanced config and customized the File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072 ....there is massive improvement in touchflo 3d and in the other functions of the phone.

[smack bob]

Mate nice tip, thats HEAPS faster

[Pharaohnough]

Advanced Config? Is that a feature in the phone (only had it a few hours) or a third party app?

[smack bob]

I just D/l it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

[mjt2810]

Hi, which version do you download and run, there seem to be a few variants! Thanks!

[smack bob]

I am no expert but I just downloaded the latest one, seemed to work fine

Can someone try spb benchmark to see what gain we have in speed?

[WorldIRC]

Huge improvements! Touch Flo stuff flies now!

[Hornet331]

its interessting to see that this tweak increases the performance so much, wonders me why htc doesnt enable it by default.

[smack bob]

I was seriously considering selling this phone if there was no way to pick up the speed, I didn't even bother installing ll the ussual stuff until this.

[notisz]

Hey guys i also did a registry optimization with sktools and i think there is also some performance gain also...i think my Diamond starts to shine......

Which tweaks did you apply via SK Tools? Thx very much.

[mjt2810]

Likewise, so much faster now ....

[marcf]

Hey Guys...

I'm kind of new to this so any help would be appreciated. Do you just download the files and then copy them onto the phone??

Thanks..

Thanks for share.
Installed & feel much faster

[jkr284]

Excellent, much faster thanks

[saveferris]

Is there a tweak for keeping the backlight on during a call? its a pain in the arse having to press the power button to get the screen back on to use call waiting, switch between calls or end the call !

[saveferris]

Hey Guys...

I'm kind of new to this so any help would be appreciated. Do you just download the files and then copy them onto the phone??

Thanks..

Marc

Yes, Just download the file and place it straight onto your internal storage. Don't extract the file.

Then just go into windows > programs > file explorer. Navigate to the file in internal storage and click on it.

[marcf]

Where is the advanced config tool after you install all the files on the phone, can't seem to locate.

Any help??

Thanks..

Marc
Excellent, much faster thanks

[Adelphos]

Yes, much faster. My Diamond flies....:D

I think u can get the same result with SKTools.

[marcf]

I have the files on my device that I put into a folder. It's not in internal storage, but now that the files are there now what?

If you know where the files are, follow what i wrote in the previous post which is.......Install it by clicking on start then programs then file explorer. Navigate to where your file is and click on it

[marcf]

I did that and it brings up all the files I transferred onto the phone, what else do I need to do with them? There are alot of files in there and if i tap on one, it says there is no program associated with that particular file. Do I just leave all the files there and that should do it??

Sorry to be such a pain.

Thanks..

When you downloaded the file to your desktop, did you extract the files before copying them onto your device? If you did, thats a No no. :)

Just leave the file as is and copy it straight to your device.

[marcf]

Yes I did...now what?

In File explorer, just navigate to your file. It should be called Schaps_advancedConfig and click on it. Its that easy.

If you can't see it, Make sure you are in the right place so you can see your file. If you aren't in the right place click on the little arrow in the title bar which is just above your folders in file explorer and navigate to your file then click on it.

[marcf]

Thanks so much for your patience.

Did it!!!

No worries bud, did you have any trouble changing the cache in the program you installed.

[marcf]

No troubles...thanks so much.

Now, it would be great if we can change the way the screen goes off during a call.

[marcf]

Where do in input that info for the fix?

Thanks..

[sunnycheng]

Thx! It works! at first...it hanged on me a few times..and after a few resets, it finally works. and not perfect, but a big improvement! Thx!

[SecureGSM]

would it be easier instead ?:

settings--> power--> advanced:

remove tick for "On battery power"

turn of device if not used for XX sec.

I preffer to switch off the phone manually by short press on power button instead.

just in case above mentioned option is unstable for someone..

[notisz]

UPDATE....EXTREME SPEED MODIFICATION

A little hugry in memory but the device performs like a Jet!!!!

Open registry editor and go to

HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768

[marcf]

Where is the registry editor?

Thanks again...if you ever figure out how to stop the screen from shutting off on a call, please let me know.

Thanks so much...

[smack bob]

Hey guys just performed a hard reset after my device wouldn't go any further than asking my to touch the scren to boot touch flo. That was after trying the last registry tweak, doubling the cache, not the first one.

[notisz]

I tried this many times before i post it and had no problems..

[mobilitytoday]

No increase in speed for me! Device still hangs when turning on the device? Any other ideas?

[sabesh]

Dave, have you tried a hard reset?

[mobilitytoday]

Hard reset? or a soft reset? Hard reset why if that is so?

[sabesh]

Hard reset? or a soft reset? Hard reset why if that is so?
Hard Reset: Perhaps *something* you installed or changed maybe causing this problem. Start afresh and see where that takes you: You can even try it via the "clear storage" method from Settings. Cheers.

This is my first ever Windows Mobile phone. Have only had Nokia's before.

Can someone please tell me how I install and config this step by step?

Thank you

[sandeman684]

Shouldn't tweaks like this be posted in the WIKI?

[stuartforrest]

wow. I was going to send this phone back but it seems miles better after this tiny tweak. Why the f**k dont HTC set it up correctly in the first place. When i got my touch cruise i got loads of tweaks from on here that made it better so perhaps HTC should watch this forum!

[formula]

it's awesome! Thanks! :p

Thanks for the reply, the screen still turned off while on call when i applied those registry tweaks.

[SecureGSM]

there are 2 lines in registry that I susspect affects display goes off while in call:

1. HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall

value is set to "5" by default - looks like this value is in seconds. 5 sec timeout?

2. HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BattSuspendTimeoutInCall

value is set to "5" by default - looks like this value is also in seconds. 5 sec timeout?

[phankhi]

Thanks for the reply, the screen still turned off while on call when i applied those registry tweaks.

hi, funny tho, it worked for me... i guess you did a soft reset?
if anyone has any ideas on the SMS issue where the alert/vibrate is not functional when the diamond is on stand by....would be appreciated!

[h2ogun]

Thanks for the tweaks. My Diamond got quite a significant speed boost. It feels pretty snappy now.

It seems the device looses a lot of memory with this tweak and after all night it caused me problems in some processes. I think this tweak is not so good. I revert my device to the previous settings that were speedy also.

[sunnycheng]

Does anyone notice a massive drain in battery after this tweak or is it just me?

[phankhi]

I used SK Tools, "performance" - optimized and it seems to be quite snappy as well.

[Pharaohnough]

Brilliant tweak. Works without any problems- tried soft resetting a few times to be sure.

[Jorlin]

Can somebody please post a video with the TouchFlo before and after the tweak?

I have seen quite a few videos now who show the Diamond in action and I was not too impressed with the reponsiveness of the interface.. :(

Improves on the already mentioned first tweak!! Thanks buddy!

[stuartforrest]

Just a word of caution. I did this on mine and now it wont startup properly. It shows the top bar and start button and the calendar and contacts soft button but none of them doing anything. Looks like a hard reset coming. I am seriously tempted to send this phone back. My touch cruise is massively faster than this phone What the hell are HTC playing at.

[stuartforrest]

Cant get it back on. How do you hard reset these then?

[kn710]

Hey, really amazing for the improvement. However the speed for program open still a bit slow. Any other way can improve too?

[kn710]

It really work and improvement is amazing. However the speed for program open still a bit slow, any method can improve it also?

[WorldIRC]

Next tweak that we need to work on!
When opening and SMS or Email in TF3D, that program, of all programs, needs to load quicker!

Waiting 5 seconds to type my email is...5 seconds wasted ;)

[imranbashir_uk]

Can somebody please post a video with the TouchFlo before and after the tweak?




I second that, could somebody post a before and after video. Alternatively if anyone has is registered with coolsmartphone they could post a question to gears and ask him to do it in this thread:

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12503

[naser404]

Guys what about Glyph cache ? mine comes set at 8k

[WorldIRC]

Guys what about Glyph cache ? mine comes set at 8k

That likely has to do with the Video Rendering. I could see a direct positive result in increasing this..from a technical standpoint. It'll likely further reduce available memory though! The only thing is I don't know how the glyph cache relates to the graphics hardware in the phone and if tweaking that could mess it up in some way!

[WorldIRC]

So as mentioned in another thread, SMS on the phone was set, by default, to not wake up the phone. This resulted in Vibrate feature not working if the phone was in standby and the phone would only vibrate once the user actually looked at their phone.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL :

DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message

By doing this you will not always receive the vibrate / tone notification that are receiving a text!

[SecureGSM]

to switch off option "mute call on phone flipped face down":

HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE:

FaceDownMuteRing: set to "1" by default, change that to "0"

it might come handy sometime I suppose.


another one:

HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE:

WaitingTone

set to \windows\waitingtone.wav by default.

customise your waiting tone. be inventive ;)

[stuartforrest]

I have spent the last couple of hours doing side by side tests on my freshly installed Touch Diamond and my overloaded and long since installed Touch Cruise.

I have applied both the tweaks on this forum which do seem to speed up the Diamond but after this the Diamond is still miles slower than the touch cruise.

I tried opening a 24k pdf attached to an email and the cruise does it in a couple of seconds and the diamond takes more like 6 to do the same.

It doesnt sound a lot but it adds up to a very sluggish diamond when compared against the cruise. It also adds up to me putting the diamond in the packet and sending it back on Monday morning. I am sick of messing about with it just trying to get it to work acceptably. The form factor is amazing but I may try again with one once proper UK stock becomes available. Interestingly I tried to register its serial on the HTC site but they said it wasnt a valid serial number!

Expansys will have one more touch diamond in stock by Tuesday,...Mine!

are you sure they didn;t just send you some demo model with reduced specifications. since the htc website is telling you the serial number is not valid. maybe that;s also causing the slowdowns

[danny3358]

Does anyone notice a massive drain in battery after this tweak or is it just me?

yes ... after the tweak .. the bettery can only support D about half day ..:mad:

[stuartforrest]

No it came from HTC and is not a demo model. It is I believe Asian stock. It has a UK plug etc though.

Raising GLYPH Cache to 32000 has seemed to help the graphics aspect for TF3D!

[WorldIRC]

Next Tweak needed...
The virtual scroll wheel does not work for reading emails and stuff. So far, it only works in Tom Tom for adjusting volume. For those that think I'm crazy, look close at the main button your keypad and you'll notice a ring around it with arrows. This is supposed to act as a scroll wheel like the physical wheel on the cruise!

Currently this appears to only function for me within Tom tom for volume adjusting (meaning the device is not physically defective).

The functionality is definitely there but someone needs to figure out how to unlock it for all applications. The wheel also scrolls properly (i.e. like the Cruise) when zooming in and out of pictures. Wouldn't life be easier if the phone actually came with its full potential?? Like accelerated graphics, scroll wheel that works in all apps and the accelerometer that flips orientation in all applications?? Hopefully the genius minds of XDA will make all these possible :cool:

[naser404]

The SW actually works for pictures (zoom-/+), browser (enlarge-/+) & also in emails & msg (enlarge-/+), Music (fastFW/Rewind).

I think what they want is for it to work as a scroll bar.. e.g. te side wheel on the first TyTn..
If you look at the Cruise, the HTC Album app.. When you "scroll the wheel" the photo selection will "scroll"... As I understood, in the diamond, nothing will happen (note again: not the photo preview, the photo list)

[creiz]

The "virtual scroll wheel" does not work for me, period. Am I crazy or what?

[WorldIRC]

My virtual scroll wheel does not scroll in messages..

[Radix999]

Awesome tweak - made the two filesystem tweaks (file system cache and file filter system cache) and it really has sped things up majorly for me.

Definitely interested in any other tweaks which people find - I've added this one to the wiki for the Diamond as it seems like a good one.

What about the backlight going off on a call. Is there an easy way to correct that as someone who has little experience with Windows Mobile?

Thank you...

[Dark Fire]

Yes, there is. Search for the solution. It involves a registry edit, which will require a registry editor, but it shouldn't be too hard because the registry on WM looks pretty much the same as the registry on proper computers (obviously only in structure)...

[marcf]

Yeah, i have no idea how to do any of that. I'm kind of lost in regards to doing anything like that.

OK. Here it is, step by step. Ask questions if I've been unclear anywhere.

1. Download a registry editor, like PHM Registry Editor (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) (the desktop installer will probably be the simplest).
2. Install the registry editor (you'll need to connect via Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre).
3. Run the registry editor (it will be somewhere in the list of programs).
4. You should see a tree of what looks like folders. You can treat these in a similar way to normal folders - their paths are specified in the same way. For example, 'HKLM\Software' would be the software 'folder' that appears when you press the '+' beside HKLM (by the way, HKLM, HKCU, etc. are fairly obvious abbreviations of the names of the four main 'folders').
5. Either find the keys specified here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2275553&postcount=35) and change the values to the values specified ('edit' or 'modify' the keys (the things that look like they might be equivalent to files within the 'folders')), and/or try to find the keys specified here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2277191&postcount=55), and increase the values to whatever you like (they might be in seconds).

Now...Potential problems:
1. PHM registry editor doesn't work - It may not work, so try to find another registry edititor.
2. You can't work out how PHM Registry Editor works - Apparently "Context-sensitive help may be accessed while using the application by tapping on the Help item in the Start menu."

I hope that helps. As I said, if there are any problems or complications that I didn't forsee, ask and I'll try to help.

I have both of the registry settings to 0, and it still times out when on a call. Can I just increase the value to say 60 to be 60 seconds

[Dark Fire]

You can...but I don't know if that will work. Sometimes when editing the registry, you just have to take risks. If it makes a mess of your device, you can always do a hard reset. In fact, it's good practice to backup everything before you do a registry edit.

[jehlinger]

I made this change only (HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFast DormantDisplayDuringCall to 0), and it does not time out during a call

You need to download a program to edit the registry, there are heaps

I use CeRegedit only because i don't have to install it on my device, its a desktop program where i can edit the info from my computer.

[gtpete]

much appreciated!

[gtpete]

Ok next problem. downloaded the programm ...found the regisrty key ,,, did the edit & its saying access is denied!

any ideas?

[gtpete]

all good now.
worked out how to unlock the registry

Go into tools and unlock the registry.

edit: you worked it out for yourself. Good form.

[nokmond]

You can...but I don't know if that will work. Sometimes when editing the registry, you just have to take risks. If it makes a mess of your device, you can always do a hard reset. In fact, it's good practice to backup everything before you do a registry edit.

How do you backup your full phone?

[rivmin]

No increase in speed for me! Device still hangs when turning on the device? Any other ideas?

Mine also hangs during bootup.
Stalls right after 'Tap here to launch TouchFLO'.
To make the hard reset, I have to turn the device on, press enter and volume-down simultaniously - but nothing happens.
Seems like the volume-down does not react (the light around the enter will light up as I press it).
Any other way to make a hard reset ?

Thanks.

Got it.
Removed the SIM-card, and a hard reset was possible.

I guess the PDF manual wasn't near by...

1. Ensure the phone is on.
2. Press and HOLD both both vol-down and Enter/Select/Center keys.
3. With both of the above buttons still pressed down, use the stylus to press the red reset button, then release the reset button.
4. You'll be presented with a screen of text.
5. Release the vol-down and Enter/Select/Center keys.
6. Press vol-up to reset the phone. Or, Press vol-down to reset the phone AND format the internal 4GB storage.

Nothing to do with SIM-card in or out.

First I searched here for a solution, then I read through the manual, and did exactly what was written, but the phone did not react.
When I removed the SIM-card, the phone reacted as supposed to the written hard-reset method.

You have 192 MB total, 113 available to programs, the rest is used by the ROM (Windows system files etc.). You see those number side by side in Start>Settings>System>Memory

wow. I was going to send this phone back but it seems miles better after this tiny tweak. Why the f**k dont HTC set it up correctly in the first place. When i got my touch cruise i got loads of tweaks from on here that made it better so perhaps HTC should watch this forum!

Because it kills even more RAM and some people arent happy with that!!
It maybe speeds up the device itself but with less RAM other apps go slower!

So as mentioned in another thread, SMS on the phone was set, by default, to not wake up the phone. This resulted in Vibrate feature not working if the phone was in standby and the phone would only vibrate once the user actually looked at their phone.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL :

DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message

By doing this you will not always receive the vibrate / tone notification that are receiving a text!
This works for me now, the phone is waking up when receiving an sms. Only thing i'd like to see is that the message is also showed, not only an icon in the top taskbar. Just like my S200 did stock. Does anyone know how to fix that?

You can change that setting in Settings -> personal -> Sounds and Notifications.

Go to notifications, event = new text message, tick display message on screen.

Hi - I'm new to all this, so sorry if the question is a stupid one. I'm trying to work out how to add a Russian Keyboard to my lovely new Diamond. Changing the standard international settings shows that WM6.1 supports Cyrillic, but the language list in the keyboard menu only has a handful of European options.

Having trawled for ages on this, I've not got far: Gullum's thread, as far as I can tell, has created an application for non-diamond devices and associated QVGA keyboard skins. I'm not sure if he hacked these from original Diamond VGA skins, or simply designed his own look-alikes? Anyway, I think my questions are:

1)To get a russian keyboard/keypad etc, do I need to install something or is it as simple as a registry tweak?
2) If it is a registry tweak, what is it?
3) If I need to install something, any clues where I find the files, and where/how I install them? I'd rather stick with the native keboard application and simply change skin than install a 3rd party keyboard app

Apologies again if I'm being stupid.

During call the light sensor can also switch the backlight off. This setting will that disable.

I would really appriciate if someone posted a short video with the Diamond in use after some of the tweaks (or at least just the "bigger cache" tweak) implied. I know a lot of ppl would want such a video! so be the fist on the internet to post it :)

The video dosen't have to be outstanding quality or anything... just a short presentation with the phone in use... Slide through some menues, and try to stress the phone a little with some fast switching between tabs/menues...

Thank you

what are you expecting?
the diamond interface needs some time. so if you go to weather, it needs to load the weather page before you can continu. even with the tweaks. (i did not do the fatfs tweak, because it crashes my diamond)
if you do not wait for the interface to complete it's task it will not execute the next command correctly. f.e. go to weather, then go to home immediately after. it will go to the right in stead of to the left

Download the file...connect your phone to your pc, make sure its synched etc then copy the advanced config file over to your phone, i copied it to the 4gb memory. Unplug phone from pc, start up file explorer and navigate to where you installed the file...click on the file and it should install ont he phone by itself...install to device memory and away you go.

Hi, i am new to this "tweaking registry" thingie too. Got rather frustrated with my Touch Diamond. Poor battery life, slow response etc. I have read thru the forum and heard about improvements made with the tweaks. Thank you for this step-by-step post, i'm gonna try it and hope it works for me.

However, i have some questions that i hope you (or anyone) can help answer for a newbie. To see improvements below, (please see link), do i need to install any other software other than registry editor? i have also read about a certain "Advance Config" of sorts.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265

After all that needs to be done, is done, do i do a soft or hard reset on my phone? or several soft resets will do? Please advise, thank you.




OK. Here it is, step by step. Ask questions if I've been unclear anywhere.

1. Download a registry editor, like PHM Registry Editor (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) (the desktop installer will probably be the simplest).
2. Install the registry editor (you'll need to connect via Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre).
3. Run the registry editor (it will be somewhere in the list of programs).
4. You should see a tree of what looks like folders. You can treat these in a similar way to normal folders - their paths are specified in the same way. For example, 'HKLM\Software' would be the software 'folder' that appears when you press the '+' beside HKLM (by the way, HKLM, HKCU, etc. are fairly obvious abbreviations of the names of the four main 'folders').
5. Either find the keys specified here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2275553&postcount=35) and change the values to the values specified ('edit' or 'modify' the keys (the things that look like they might be equivalent to files within the 'folders')), and/or try to find the keys specified here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2277191&postcount=55), and increase the values to whatever you like (they might be in seconds).

Now...Potential problems:
1. PHM registry editor doesn't work - It may not work, so try to find another registry edititor.
2. You can't work out how PHM Registry Editor works - Apparently "Context-sensitive help may be accessed while using the application by tapping on the Help item in the Start menu."

I hope that helps. As I said, if there are any problems or complications that I didn't forsee, ask and I'll try to help.

I think it should be noted that TF3D is working well on the new ROM without any tweaks,specially that many of them decrease the amount of memory available for other programs.I your TF3D is sloww make sure to update to the latest Rom before taking any other steps.

A soft reset is all it takes...you might need to do a few soft resets after each tweak but you dont need to hard reset unless you want to go back to the way your phone was originally when you got it.

Hey guys i used the advanced config and customized the File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072 ....there is massive improvement in touchflo 3d and in the other functions of the phone.

Could some please PM me, with help to my problems:

Endless vibration when I get a text message and phone muting completely whether I use it or not.

Soft reset (turning phone off and on) fixes it, but only for a short period time usually for only 1 hour or so.

I've tried 3 different ROMs (1 being stock) but it still happened with all 3.

I can't use the phone because I miss calls/texts. I don't want to turn my phone off and on every 30 minutes.

Please help me!

For the first one 10 sec is too short and 30 sec is to much... I prefer 15 sec if is possible and 30 sec for turning off (but there is only 40 sec, 1min, etc).

HELLO TO ALL.

i have got so much from this forum, now i have founded something, so i will share with YOU!

Maybe someone founded this, then pls admint to delete my post.

Everybody like his own rom, not firstly of its speed, bechmark results etc..but for appeariance: nice icons, nice folders etc..eeryone has his own most liked stuff. just like me. I tried several roms, now i finded a realy good one, GOD BECAUSE AT THE TFL3D menu sliding the pictures is awesome,almost like at the iphone. VERY SMOOTH!!!!!

but i hated the icons at the menu..so i was trieng to use different rom and to find that album version...then i find it, but the most of roms didnt give me a permission to install it.

So, i have found these steps, worked at me:

I used Shaks 4.3 rom. then i got some old version of htc album and installed it. Ot was ok, at the programs appeared the good old htc albumicon. I restarted the decice. Then i was able to put the new htc album on it, and its working!!!!
the album located here:

very nice, i can use this version of album in all roms.
