[TUT] Performance improving of HD (.NET, DirectDraw Drivers, CorePlayer ...)

Hi,

As some user complain about speed of this marvellous object, HTC Blackstone (HD), I want to give some advice and method to speed up the tools.

So, first, when I had opened my phone, start using it, it crash 4 times just during the simple first usage (cross around TouchFlo 3D) ... I was afraid that this phone doesn't work pretty well comparing to the price, but

the system is nearly the same that the Diamond, with more memory (200 mb against 128 mb for diamond !), it change everything !

I have start to go on the forum and find a perle for tweaking, add to my tweak, it's great !

So, first of all, we need to install ".NET Compact 3.5", because by default on official first rom (I have the 1.14), it come with ".NET Compact 2.0" which is know to be slower than the "3.5" version.

So, go there : Microsoft .NET Compact 3.5

Install it on your phone (Internal of course, not Storage card)

After, install TCMD or any registry tools to change registry value
TCMD Web Site

Open it, go to "\\Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework"
You have 2 entry :
2.0.7045.00
and
3.5.7283.00

So edit the 2.0, change value from "1" to "0"
and edit the 3.5, change value from "0" to "1"

Ok, now .NETCompact 3.5 is the default one.

After that, and before reboot, go on this thread
and take this cab : tnyynt SD TuneUP.cab

Install it, it will tune up your memory access to the storage card and global speed.

After that, install AdvancedConfig 3.3 from here
Open it (now it work with .NET 3.5 ),
Go to performance :
Change that value :

System Cache : Activated
System Cache Size : 0 (Auto)
Filter system file size : 16384
Glyph cache : 128 ko

Save and reboot

Now you system is full optimized, and work really well (crash doesn't occur any more or really really rarely, and speed is really apreciable).

This tweak work on diamond, but with too few memory, it's hard to use well the phone after, with all this memory and this nice HD, it's marvellous !

Hop this tweak will be sticked thanks everybody for this great forum,

hop HD will be explore like diamond in not too long time

Enjoy

Here 2 tricks to enjoy more :

First : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=461228 (Dutty rom, great idea to use it )
Second : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3059269&postcount=3 (post 3 of dutty rom !), a great improvement for 3D capability of your HTC, a real Direct 3D Drivers. Just try, and report your feeling

Here a trick for CorePlayer :
They is an option in coreplayer for extra speed. They help a lot when you have a big video who lag a little.
So
Menu > Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Buffering > Microdrive mode
Check it

They will grow up cache size and other think, so report back your experience on it.

Hi,

To configure NETCF you can use Netcfconfig tool, no need to modify the registry.

You can find it in Raissak's Cabcorner:

Many thanks for this!

Wasn't aware of the .NET CF tweak.. which apps are likely to gain from this?

Does this also result in a memory saving - as running apps all use the latest version and the old one isn't loaded into memory?

Click to collapse

All apps on windows mobile use .NET, (I'm not sure but I think that), AdvancedConfig use that ...

So .NET 3.5 improve speed, memory usage and more. It's really good to use it, less crash, more speed, less memory, so any think is good for that

By the way, on diamond any cooked rom use it as a default one, and have deinstall the 2.0 version.

We can't do that there, we can just set 3.5 as the default.

A question: Why don't HTC use the version 3.5 on this "new" phone rather than version 2 (that sounds quite old) ?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Because they don't use it at all in their package ! so why installing a more rescent version when you use a old one ?

did you see htc optimize setting for best experience ? it's the same think

it's better and faster to do it yourself
