[IDEA] Make Manila faster - speed up tab response

[Kamill]

Hi,
I've noticed that the Manila 2.5 responds faster than the older versions - I mean the time needed to load the content of a tab after navigating to it. And I mean the time's shorter not on the HTC HD2 (that's obvious with the Snapdragon and ~450MB RAM), only on my Touch Diamond. I guess it's because HD2 has more RAM and the content of every tab is loaded to the memory at the start of Manila, not when navigating to it.
So my question is if it is possible to tweak Manila 2.1 to load the contents of each tab at the start of the system. I know it would consume more RAM, but it would be much, much faster.
I hope someone will be interested in this ;)
Cheers,
Kamil

if the dll are modules then the page opens faster.
while cooking is the dll s are rec modded the the tab response is slower..

So it can be done while cooking a rom, right? Sorry, but I'm a noob in this topic :) It would be great to have the tabs respond faster, even if the memory usage would grow much!

Anybody's got another idea how to make the tabs open faster?

I've tried to make the sms tab load less messages, hoping that this would make it load faster ...but it did not help at all. It takes about 2,5 seconds to load the sms tab! I (and I guess that many other people) would be very happy to shorten that time - any ideas?

I'm also interested in this.. I use laurentius ROM on my HD which is the fastest I've ever tried, but switching between tabs still takes a few seconds which is really annoying!

I'm still trying to do something with the content of the tab showing up slow and I need some help. I partly understand what's happening on the release of the slider over a tab. The slider icon is moved (TabJumpTo function) and the Navigate function is activated - and here's the problem. There's a line:
_application.Navigation:Navigate(...)
What is _application? I've seen that you can set/get registry values thanks to this, but where is it defined?

What I want to do is load all of the tabs' content while loading Manila and set it to invisible. After releasing the slider over a tab, the content of the tab would be set to visible. I think this should work, but I need to know what is _application :D
I hope someone will be able to explain me! Thanks in advance.

I was looking for that too, but then I got an idea - the home tab is always preloaded, isn't it? at least it is faster than any other tab, so I guess yes. I did some small searching and I found something interesting: fakehome. I don't understand LUA well, but it seems that the home tab somehow uses something called fakehome to keep preloaded data and graphics. But I also may be completely wrong :)

[Kamill]

It's good to see that someone is also interested in this topic :) Unfortunately, fakehome is a mode9 file and there's nothing important in it.

I solved the problem of the slow message tab. The reason why it was opening so long was the number of messages in my inbox - over 1600... Now I have about 50 and it's much faster.

Try to cook without HTC Task Manager....;)
Only MS Task Manager.

Would it really speed up Manila? I don't see any connection between these two things...

I also noticed the lag on the messaging app, and subsequantly deleted all my messages. However, ive accepted there is going to be lag with it and its just the trade off of running sense 2.5 on the touch pro 2.
Something ive noticed though is there a slight delay u get while scrolling sliding from the home tab on the tf3d to somewhere else, and how this lag aint there when starting from a different tab.

Is there any way to solve this and to make scrolling from the home tab quicker? Apart from this I am very happy with the new rom despite some hickups (which are to be expected due to the lack of snapdragon)

Really i don`t understand why you want app like this when you can do it without app hacks etc.
I know one things very easy and im doing it from 2 years since i have Blackstone

Example after rebot .. wait the whole OS to be loaded etc, once is loaded you click on everytab and wait for the animation, after you do this for all the tabs, they are NOW loaded in some cache and your Manila is faster.

All this take you around 5 Seconds and no need any App.

Also click once da dialer and close it ...this will help your dialer to open faster next time when you use it.

Yes, please! Anyone know how to speed up the slider when starting from the home tab? My slider is superquick starting from any other tab. There must be a fix as I've tried a few other ROMs and they seem to have gotten it worked out.
