Would like to try this, but I'm a little afraid after reading that people have soft bricked their phones trying it. Is there any way to raise the heap size without having to have a program to do it? Would seem like something you should be able to do via adb.

Besides, what would memory size have to do with battery?

Mike

you can use root explorer to add command line into the build.prop

debug.sf.hw=1 (this does the same thing as checking the first box)

it can be added on its own line anywhere in the build prop. this forces hardware acceleration. reboot for it to take effect.as fas as changing the heap sizes without the app, i think you can do it in the build.prop also

I've also found that either changing your ro.HOME_APP_MEM to ro.HOME_APP_MEM=4096 (or adding the line if it doesn't exist) helps absolutely eliminate the lag/jittery entrance to your app drawer for good...and that has always irked the hell out of me.

EDIT: Yeah, you're going to want to do that in your build.prop as well.

Works with sensation?

Yes it does.I'm not sure it sticks after a reboot though.You can also tinker around with different values in the build.prop file and/or add that line to the file:
"debug.sf.hw=1" save and reboot your phone.It will stick.

You have to hit Save -> Yes, then manually reboot. If you hit Apply, it's temporary until reboot. I'll add that to the OP.

rebooted normally and settings did not stick :/

I think you need to change it in the build.prop file in order for it to stick.use root explorer or ES file manager.

still can't get this thing to stick

Could not get this to stick either (Stock rooted with Silverneedle kernel). installed busybox 1.17.x for VM heap and when that worked, I tried Blade Budy again and both settings finally stuck after save and manual reboot using power button->reboot.

So has anyone who has raised the vm heap pass 64 had any performance gain or negative issues??? Have mine at 64 but was thinking about going higher?? Any opinions would be great. Thanks

Just my 2 cents.

I did some extensive performance testing this weekend and at least on Warm TwoPointThree, 64M cache was actually too big, hindering performance.

I've got it set back to 32M and it "feels" snappier to me.

Was wondering if anyone else has done A/B testing between 32 and 64?

It's the opposite for me. Everything, including the ROM itself, loads faster at 64M. I haven't really noticed any negatives. Maybe it was the tweaks you did to the ROM? I'm on ViperROM and even with the stock kernel I notice a big, visible performance boost at 64M.

We've got 90% of the features we planned for Warm TwoPointThree RLS 1 implemented.

Theming and the polish is still left which may take another week or two.

It may have been the tweaks. I've added a ton of them and they may contribute to the experience.

For now I'm sticking with 32. Would definitely welcome everyone's input once we start the beta testing.
