Battery & Performance hacks - all cabed up for my friends
 

with all the flashing of roms and what not i figured i would share my cab.

this is a few reg edits that were found on a few sites. here is the main one... http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=127164

ppc link here... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=battery+hacks

this all started on the Q but works on many WM devices. i have been running it on my mogul for quite a while. works great.

this is what is changes...

Speed Hacks

These have been posted elsewhere but the 3rd one listed here is never mentioned and often left out. A shame since it seems to have the most effect!

The following 3 hacks increase system performance and makes the Q more responsive:

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
Changed limit from 16384 to 32768

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Changed - CacheSize to 4096

(NEW!) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt
Change “ReplStoreCacheSize” dword decimal value to 4096 or 8192 (edit: I find 4096 best, g-funk finds 8192)

Battery Life

A couple of us have tested this and found a nice increase in battery life. On my Treo 700 it seemed to do nothing but on the Q it greatly helped (I ran for 12 hours yesterday push email in a low signal environment and stayed at 4 bars battery--normally would have been at 2 or 3)

in the zip file below is a cab. move it to your device and tap to install. remember to wait one minute for reg changes to take effect and then do a soft reset.

Just clck on the .cab file inside your phone and your set. PPC .cab = PC .msi in a way.

Re: Battery & Performance hacks - all cabed up for my friends
 

Installed.

No noticable performance increase.

Hosed the loading of Voice Command, get a little error now when restarting.

Havn't used long enough to notice a battery difference.

Re: Battery & Performance hacks - all cabed up for my friends
 

I will give this a try in the next day or so... my stock Sprint TP is worse than my Touch on battery life, so far, with the same software/configurations...

Re: Battery & Performance hacks - all cabed up for my friends
 

Just checked my stock TP. All of the changes for the battery life are now defaults.

There is no settingfor Irsir1 in the touch pro. just Irsir and that does not contain the disablepowermanangement key
