Therewas one single test which simply failed, I don't know why. I believe this failed test is the reason why the overall score is unavailable. But the machine is stable so far, I have no complaints.

There is only one WM5 device besides teh BA, which I collected from this review:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/Dell-Axim-X51v.htm
Helmi, can you make a hotfix cab called 'Brazilian_Joe_UNTESTED_performance_tweaks.cab' to apply these tweaks and add it to Helmi 1.3 beta front page, with a big red fat warning?
EDIT: The 'internal database benchmark error' happens even with the default 'Helmi 1.3 beta' registry values, so it's not a by product of my settings. Just to reinstate, even with this error the machine still runs without problems.
Nice work, Brazilian Joe! But the real question is: do these tweaks affect the real performance of the BA? I mean do you notice any improvements during normal work (with all today plug-ins, etc.)
That's actually all that matters, because benchmark results don't necessarily reflect the real-life performance.
If you say the difference is noticable (I mean "really" noticable), the we all should give it a try. But if it's only a benchmark improvement, I think we should not mess with the settings...
Regards,
Martin

I have the whole SBSH doing a party on my today screen under normal circumstances (PocketBreeze etc). My first benchmark (which I lost) still had all those on, andthe numbers were inequivocal.
It was not a 'whoa, look! 1KB/s write improvement!'...
when I said improved responsiveness, that's what it meant. switching tabs in today plugins, program loading, most tasks improved, the experience was more fluid.
Then I procceeded to have more barebone results to avoid having the programs distort the numbers.
That said, I completely agree with your consideration. My next steps are going to be:
1) reinstall everything
2) do another 'vanilla settings' test with everything running
3) put the tweaked settings back on
4) benchmark one more time...
So that we can verify the results.
Just working on my Settings also ..
seems I have forgotten somethin in the settings since I cant't achive the same results than earlier .. (reminds me on helmi not remembering this WiFi driver thing )

It affects the real / overall / daily use performance. Try it out
Yeah, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. and benchmarks are statistics, right?
Benchmarks do not directly translate in real world performance, but if they are done properly, there is some meaning to them, and you can expect that the performance displayed at the benchmarks will be reflected in your daily usage.
And I started those benchmarks by going the other way round:
I found some settings, tweaked them, noticed a difference, and only then I started benchmarking to back up my subjective feeling with hard numbers.
let's see how the benchmarking saga unfolds...
Blame me stupid ... installed SPB Bench in RamDisk at first .. damn ...
Rebenching now, but can confirm that with the Settings fomr BJ an mine mixed to the way you use your device in daily usage this runs veeerrry smooth ... )

Thats weird .. since you reinstalled it fresh .. mine is up since yesterday, running Pocketbreeze and some other Today Plugins while using the Benchmark ..
Have you tweaked some other infos before in another section?

no, I only changed that and nothing else. I think the system was starved because of the small buffer size. I had PocketBreeze, iLauncher and PocketWeather on my today screen.
EDIT. trying the Chache = 0 settings and see how they perform, without messing with the buffer
EDIT2:
MasterMerlin, looks like there is some fluctuation in the file results. can you re-run the benchmark more than one time? I am not getting a result like your 'Read 1 MB file ~300 ms'. maybe the result in that specific run was better than average?
EDIT3: definitely, buffers=16 is not friendly at least to PocketBreeze. Other apps might gasp on it either. At the moment I installed PB, my machine froze. There goes another hard reset...
PocketBreeze and PocketWeather are on my Today Screen too. Will rerun the Bench now .. went to bed yesterday
EDIT:
You are right Brazilian Joe. The Benchmark seems to fluctuate much.

Will test around your Settings with other Buffers and some more reg-changes and rerun another Test...since this great ROM should stay stable and speedy ...

Nice work, Brazilian Joe! But the real question is: do these tweaks affect the real performance of the BA? I mean do you notice any improvements during normal work (with all today plug-ins, etc.)
That's actually all that matters, because benchmark results don't necessarily reflect the real-life performance.
If you say the difference is noticable (I mean "really" noticable), the we all should give it a try. But if it's only a benchmark improvement, I think we should not mess with the settings...

Martin

Its should make a difference... I've try it before I post the rom, but I dont test it much, but it seems our Brazilian Joe hv test it more then me.. so give it a try... I'll post a cab for it as requested.
ps: I dont think it safe to try this tweak on v1.2 or lower, but try it anyway...
If we use Brazilian Joe tweaks and later want to later go back to original configuration - how do we do that?
Manually?
or
Uninstall the cab?

hmm, I think if u use it in v1.3 its safe, but this is the revert back .CAB
btw I use Platformxxx.reg method (so its ready for further tweak update from Brazilian Joe and wont erase the reg entry if u uninstall it)
Just install this cab overwrite or uninstall the previous version, both way is ok. this .CAB will revert back registry value to its original value.
read my post i te main thread, these cache tweaks shouldnt be used on thier own, the speed is shortlived.

Is that like the upgraded Axim/4700 filesys.exe performance issues? I didn't knew our machines were affected by it too.
Anyway, I'll keep the tweaks and see if the machine slows down over time.

Thats weird .. since you reinstalled it fresh .. mine is up since yesterday, running Pocketbreeze and some other Today Plugins while using the Benchmark ..
Have you tweaked some other infos before in another section?
Click to expand...

no, I only changed that and nothing else. I think the system was starved because of the small buffer size. I had PocketBreeze, iLauncher and PocketWeather on my today screen.
EDIT. trying the Chache = 0 settings and see how they perform, without messing with the buffer
EDIT2:
MasterMerlin, looks like there is some fluctuation in the file results. can you re-run the benchmark more than one time? I am not getting a result like your 'Read 1 MB file ~300 ms'. maybe the result in that specific run was better than average?
EDIT3: definitely, buffers=16 is not friendly at least to PocketBreeze. Other apps might gasp on it either. At the moment I installed PB, my machine froze. There goes another hard reset...

Hey Joe,
The BA is a strange device, it seems, that it behaves itself in different ways So... It can be, that MasterMerlin is right. I tried the Cache=0 and Buffersize=16 on my BA, and It didn't freeze at all, and It became more speedier than with your settings. I use SPB pplus + diary + weather + time + backup on today (tabbed) + wireless + messaging + device lock on todayscreen.
The device freezes, if you try to raise Your posted setting's values.
I hope i could help a bit.. But I really don't understand why your BA freezes if you set cache to 0 and buffer to 16...

As I told before, SBSH PocketBreeze dislikes this setting. Anyway, I will try setting the caches to 0, but keeping the buffer size and see if it improves. Then I will proceed on halving the buffer until it does not work anymore.
EDIT:
Just to clarify, I use PocketBreeze with iLauncher, ContactBreeze and PocketWeather as tabs inside it.
Anyway, the buffers = 16 setting looked like it was working for me, but when I installed PocketBeeze it froze...
/EDIT
On the subject of benchmark fluctuation, I think the cause is the same thing which also causes video to skip, some system process might be taking up too much processing.
Since our hardware is not built for WM5, we might be suffering the same problems that the Axim/4700 users have. Do we have a filesys.exe throttler? If we don't, is there a way to do it? It would be so much easier to find the guilty process if we had a XP-style task manager, which displayed the amount of cpu time each process is taking... Anyone knows of any?
Hi, this is my first post. I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I've been searching for days and could not find any info regarding this. Is it possible to change the page pool of windows mobile 6 crossbow? and if it is possible, what is the hexadecimal address? I'm using orwell's crossbow version and i'm very pleased with it but i'd really like to know if it's possible to change the page pool and what is the hexadecimal address
80 views no replies?
cmon guys, i see 80 views on this post but no replies. am i the only one who wants to know this? i'm sure some of the great rom cookers out there have been able to find out what the hexadecimal address for changing the page pool of wm6 crossbow is...unless i'm mistaken and it's actually not possible....but again, the PDAviet versions have large amount of rams available so I'm pretty sure that it is possible.
146 views and growing
ok, with 146 views, it looks like i'm not the only one who wants to know this. There even might be others who are watching this thread. Please...does anyone know the answer? Faria?Risidoro?Kyphur?Molski?Johnnny? anyone? Or at least let me know if it's possible or not...

It's possible to change page pool on WM6 Crossbow now, you can use a hexeditor and open os.nb, search NKKD8, you will find two places, and at the near second place,you will find the modifying value!!!
are you reffering for a wizard device?
wow! i will try it as soon as i get home. if that's the correct hex address then email123 you're awesome! hope it works!

look the two picture below,the first is wm6chs which pagepool is 60 00(6MB),the second is Molski.Biz_AKU3.3_21911_8MB_Crossbow which pagepool is 80 00(8 MB).
When you search NKKD8 second time then search FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ** **, and ** ** is the modifying pagepool value.
If Possible?
If possible to change the page pool on the WM6 which setting would be the best, and stable, ...I think lots of people is wonder the same.
mun_rus..i saw in another thread a screenshot of the about portion of ur wm6 device. In the version tab, yours has about 51MB memory when mine is only 49.73MB. I know that this can only be done if the page pool has been changed...so what exactly is the page pool on ur wizard? and is it stable? also when I changed the page pool on molski's final edition 2.26 from 8mb to 6mb, that specific screen showed about 50+MB. If windows mobile 6 crossbow has a page pool of 6MB also, how come it's only showing 49.73MB on my device?
Thanks to the Professor in the follwowing link.

How to find the page pool offset on Hermes ROMs?
Take the Hex editor of your choice (I use radare) and open OS.nb.
Search the ASCI string "NKKD8", you'll find it to times, take the one more near to the end of the file.
Scroll down a bit until you find the HEXA string "64 00 00 00", page pool should be around there.
If anyone knows a better method please explain
Example using OS.nb from WM6 ROM for hermes
We find the second "NKKD8" at offset 0x3B6C90:
Code:
offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0123456789ABCDEF

So, we can see the page pool is at offset 0x3B6F6B and is set to 6 Mb.
The pagepool value is specified in HEXA, so for example:
Change "6000" to "4000" for a 4Mb paging pool
Change "6000" to "8000" for a 8Mb paging pool
Change "6000" to "C000" for a 16Mb paging pool
Finding the best page pool size
The page pool size is a compromise between memory available to programs and speed. On WM6 ROM:
With 4Mb page pool we get a Total Program Memory available of 50.68 Mb, and SPB Benchmark index 347.88.
With 6Mb page pool we get a Total Program Memory available of 48.68 Mb, and SPB Benchmark index 346.03.
With 8Mb page pool we get a Total Program Memory available of 46.67 Mb, and SPB Benchmark index 345.95.
With 12Mb page pool we get a Total Program Memory available of 42.66 Mb, and SPB Benchmark index 348.53.
The pagepool size is for the same OS and should be the same for the Wizard.
@joecruz
my pp is 4mb, and i moved some modules to another place so i could got more free memory
wow this works!! i went ahead and changed my page pool to 4MB and i now have a Total Program Memory available of 51.73MB with around 28MB free after a soft reset (i have loads of stuff installed!!). Thanks!!
Hexedit method.
Hi, I'm trying to edit the wm6 os file too with hexedit but i'm unable to find the it for wm6 on the wizard. Is anyone using hexedit like I am, to change the wm6 pool for the wizard that can point me or show me a pic of where it is?
i used XVI32, the hex editor application provided by Faria in his tutorial post "how To" Change Page-pool On A Htc Wizard Rom. Instead of looking for the NKKD8 (which i couldn't find), use the address that's on the screenshot provided by email123 which is 387540. Just make sure that the line matches the one in the screenshot which is FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 A8 5B 04 80 00 00 60 00. Depending on your hex editor, it may take you down a line or 2 (meaning either an address or 2 below the one I mentioned). Then just change 60 (the second to the last set of digits on the line above) to 40 for 4MB page pool, save it and repack your 80040000.OS and that's it!
In Previos devices your could decide the period of time to keep the call log.

No Kaiser here - on the Hermes/AT&T ROM it's in your call history, select Call Timers and then beneath "All Calls" and "Recent Calls" timer is a pulldown "Delete call history items older than:"
Do you not have a similar item?

Not on the Kaiser

That one didn't change when I changed the pulldowns, so I don't think so. I suspect that's a limit on number of calls not a time limit.
Sorry the reg keys weren't more help.

If it were *me* I'd run strings on the HTC phone executable and any DLLs and see if anything looked interesting
I'm still Kaiser-less though, so won't be much help I'm afraid. I posted originally 'cuz I remembered seeing the menu option recently but it wasn't where I expected it to be, so I'd not seen it before.

I tried changing the date to 08 oct 2008 to see what is my current default before trying to create the key... nobody shoud ever EVER do that. i'm not kidding... the phone went crazy with birthdays, expired certificates, expired gps data...
well, the good news is that the default is probably 1 year or more, since i still had all my history

Maybe someone with another device that can change this value will tell us how the registry acts when it's changed?

Have you tried to create the registry key?
my diamond kept hanging even after applying the tweaks .... anyone has the same experience?
It works fine initially but hanged once soft reset is done.
How? Help!!!!
Have you used this tweak?
2. Boost TFL3D Performance --> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768
or this tweak?
6. Boost TFL3D Scrolling Speed --> - HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal)
if so, do a hard reset, and don't use them for god's sake. It was stupid to put them on the list in the first place....

Download and use a program call regeditSTG.
If that doesn't work, try total commander, or resco explorer, they both should have registry editing options.
If all else fails... you could always use google.

i had the same problems. but for me it works if i just leave out the fatfs tweak.
maybe it can be used with lower values, but i do not want to hard reset my device all the time.
someone wants to try?
It is indeed one of the tweaks, which makes your device hang. It hangs when it tries to start the touchflo 3d. My advice, remove the tweaks from the tweaks topic.
thxs guys I had removed it .... Since the time i gotten my diamond i have been hard resetting for almost 20 times .... faintz.....
