Hi to all, I would share with you my experience with this software:
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=speedbooster
just installed on my Diamond, and now everything runs smoother and faster!!
I don't know exactly how it works but I must say that it's amazing!
I didn't notice any difference ... :/
Thanks Diego,
I will play around with it this to compare the before and after.
give us a screenshot with the settings that you made so we can try them, I didn't notice any difference either...

Yes, it makes a difference for my diamond too.
I'm using the settings shown on their forum:
Code:
increase gwes.exe for overall drawing speed
increase targetapp.exe to make it run smoother
change target app to the process you use most, like browser or game.
Does this app have any impact on Battery?

overclocking usually kills the battery but diamond microprocessor cant be overcloced... i dont understand very well what does this app do to the device....
i am gonna try it... the posted one is trial 5 days.
It does not overclock the diamond CPU as so far it is not possible, i have CPU benchmarked before and after to prove this and it is no different.
I also do not notice any performance difference from this software, but that may be due to running duttys rom which already includes many performance tweaks.
I installed the trial and maybe I was being paranoid but my battery levels were just dropping more than normal and I wasn't even using the phone . Didn't notice any improvement on the phone either while I had a quick play.
Speedbooster uninstalled.
Speedbooster - Does it work??
Well... I downloaded the 5 day trial but the trial is limited to only partially tweaking/enhancing aspects of the Diamond.
But in saying that I noticed some apps refreshing faster. At almost 15 Euro's I am not game enough to buy this program to see if it works. Our poor Australian dollar would make this program as expensive as 9 BigMacs (without fries!) or half a tank of petrol.
I have tried so many tweaking programs and my conclusion is that if you want your Diamond to run faster wait for future models with a faster processor than the now old & slow Qualcomm 528Mhz. I read that 600 Mhz to 1 Ghz processors are coming.
I would certainly give up my 9 BigMacs for a faster CPU. Only with that will we see a real speed boost in our HTC's!!!
Aussie
correct me if I am wrong but doesnt changing the Pagepool do the same?
anyway all we are talking about here is a milliseconds in time difference.
Are we that time poor that we cant wait 0.5 second for an app to load?
The diamond has its limitations & i would say after a year or so of tweaking the ROMs & all the apps that we have just about reached that limitation.
sounds like a scam to me
No much good reactions, thats sad, i hoped this program would be a nice add-on to our Diamond.
Yeah, just lets wait on new phones with a decent processor, 1 Ghz would be awesome, i'm sure they are will coming very soon

it tried a full cracked version and didnt like it. after a lot of benchmarks i didnt notice any difference...
Ι also used ful verison, to my custom rom, and turn to full gwes.exe and manila2.exe . The diference is very big. I didnt expected it. I dont know if the same will happen to original rom version . (I dont think there is manila2.exe to the original rom)

Yeah its the same for me. Speedbooster makes some apps run much faster.
Strange thing is that the benchmark result is usually the same. This might be a good thing - meaning that the CPU speed remains the same, but it just gives more power to some specific app instead of another. Actually this is exactly what I want:
I don't care about the stupid OS doing stupid things, but I DO CARE about my GPS or webbrowser - and here this proggie seems to give a useful hand.
I agree about the price, is a bit expensive, but at least it works
About the price...
You can get it for free on the developer's website, it's some kind of promotion, you only need to install it, run a benchmark with the built in tool, and post your score:

hurry up, I don't know how much it will last!
How it works.
It modifies the process priority similarly to the task manager in windows.
It does other stuff too but that's basically what it does.
and what's the verdict ? does it speed up our Diamonds ? (i was testing it... and didn't notice any difference :/ )
It DOES have impact on performance.
Its very easy to test. Try to lower the system apps and services and you will se that the device run slower.
On TF3D its very clear the it makes it run faster/slower if you change the priority.
My opinion; It works...somehow.
Hi,
What the best software for overclock my HD?
regards
this is a dumb idea. srsly, dont do it!
i bought HD today and its a little slow
I think overclock to 600Mhz its ok.
I read about this CPU and can reach to 768Mhz
If you want to run software or sense 2.5 faster. What I did is changed the pagepool size to 32MB
Most of the cooked rom is using 20MB pagepool. I have a few problem with it.

Agreed. The cons definitely outweigh the pros. Just not worth it.
Just use a few tweak programs like advanced config or HD Tweak to change basic parameters safely.
overclock == more heat the device could take damage
+ higher power usage so your batt time will be a lot shorter

A 528 Mhz processor cannot reach 768mhz, technically. I mean anything is possible but it would not be stable at all and would probably screw up your processor. Htc has it set as high as it will go while being stable and safe to use.
Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656572
My THD works stable at 709MHz Above this frequency, Android doesn't boot.

How to change the pagepool size?
hi all,
it seems no change in speed by using 576MB hacked instead of original 488Mb (for my personal experience after using 2 cooked roms).
Can anyone help to give me more info for this such as advantage/disadvantage for these size and will it harm system or not?
Actually, it just happy me with bigger free size of ~300mb
thanks
This issue could also have other reasons.
Imagine you have a car
On the speedometer max speed is 200 km / h
Now you build a speedometer with a top speed 300 km / h
each now looks in the car assumes
that you have a tuned car which goes really fast
WM apps usually consume something between 0.2 (Outlook) to 10MB of memory (TomTom), so having 200MB free is more than enough for some serious multitasking. So, it is definitely not needed, but does not make any harm either.
I don´t agree, I had a Diamond with 192 mb ram and a touch HD with 288 mb ram, and both just powered, the HD was a lot faster, just because of the 100 mb extra ram (both had more than 50% ram free)
extra ram wont make the machine faster per say... it just increases the ability to handle more
If there was no advantage, then HTC would have probably not reales a HD2 with twice the amount of memory as the first release.

I totally agree, especially since they haven't done that.

as johnc says... they havent done that.
What they did do is release the T-Mobile Us version with twice as much ROM.
nothing to do with RAM. get your facts straight.
The T-Mobile US version however does have an extra 128MB RAM. But like i said above... there is no increase in overall performance. Extra RAM simply means it is able to handle more multitasking.

i think this is the best answer. Yes, it just bring us the feeling.
some of you misunderstand my question. Of course, bigger ram size is surely faster but in this case, it is just a tweak from original 488Mb (hardware) up to 567Mb (fake ram )

It requires a tweak to 'unlock' the extra RAM as it has been 'hidden' by the ROM software.

it willnot show the 576 with out flashing new roms and new radios as the old os doesnot support this amound of ram

a tweak or change the rom
From the technical point of view. When an application is started the operating system loads the application from the ROM into the RAM memory, this process is slow because ROM memory is slower to read than RAM memory. So in order to take full advantage of the CPU 1GHZ processor, the operating system needs enough RAM memory to load the full application. RAM memory sits right on top of the CPU and communication between the CPU and RAM is very fast. If there isn't enough RAM memory the operating system will load part of the application into RAM and the rest will remain on the ROM. This will make the operating system to constantly read ROM memory which slows down your application. In some cases when an application is stopped the operating system might not release corresponding RAM memory, this is called a LEAKING POINTER. In this case you will need to reboot your system to release the memory. Having too many LEAKING POINTER will make your phone run slower because operating system constantly has to go to the ROM memory instead of using the full potential of the RAM

lol...
Nearly as funny as RAMAROM!
With over 448MB of RAM, I really doubt that any WM app is going to cause problems with memory leaks to the extent that an app cannot run properly. Bear in mind that WM apps are tiny, compared to Windows (PC) applications, so the same rules don't really apply. Yes, they do, okay, but these things simply don't happen.
You really shouldn't notice any difference between 448MB of RAM and 576MB of RAM. If you do, it's in your head, probably because you want to believe it. Perception is not always fact.

I agree with you but if you are a browsering the internet and listening to music and have couple of other clients/apps running you might see a jump in the memory usage.

Yes, of course, but still not to the extent that we're talking about. I've never seen the memory usage on my HD2 over about 60%, and I use it very heavily.
Like I said, the (PC) Windows rules don't really apply to WM.

I guess so, my professional exprience is working with windows server and unix mainframe systems. Which could be different from a phone architecture.
If anyone manages to max out the standard 448MB of RAM then i would like to know how the hell they managed it with winmo!
Hello all.
im using 2.2 Froyo on my HD2, to say its great!
but, i have noticed that through the Android Task Manager app, it only shows 411.72 RAM enabled, instead od 576, or 448 the default.
what is wrong?
im using also HSPL3
is there any problem i should do something with?
thank you!
Help somebody?
Nothing's wrong - that's perfectly normal. It's one of the side-effects of using a ported OS, rather than one made specifically for our device. It may get fixed, but it really isn't an issue so I wouldn't hold my breath,
i saw on the nexus one and desire (512mb RAM) task managers sees 412mb RAM, so it seems that at MAX we are under of 64mb RAM, but for 412mb we are in line with device like Nexus and Desire
(on Galaxy s, 512mb and they see at MAX 338mb...on new Galaxy they see 448mb starting from 650!)
I think it starts at 576 then loads and locks the essentials to run the OS in the memory and calculates the remaining after that, if that makes sense.

Its normal. This same app on HTC Desire shows you the same result - 411MB. The rest of the ram is used by system/gpu/etc.
Android have full ram of HD2, not only 448MB !
Hey guys I´ve got my nexus 4 for now 4 days and i absolutely love it.. I think that the back glass got improved in the second batch ( I´m using no bumper or something just the stock phone and allready dropped in two times, once in the snow, and not a single scratch or something like this on the screens ) but there is one thing that is quiete anoying...
So allthough this phone has 2gb of ram it only uses ~ 560 mb for multitasking.. if this limit is reached it will start to kill applications.
After opening a bunch of applications to test multitasking and realized that the apps allready got killed, I oppened the app manager in settings and saw what about 1.2 gb of ram are unused.
So my question is:
Can the rest of the ram can be used for multitasking too?
Which settings have to be tweaked to use the rest of the ram?
PS: Of course I´m rooted and I´m on stock rom!
Anybody?
Never heard of V6 Supercharger with its multitasking mods?!
