[[Speed Improvements]] Brainstorming & Testing Thread!!

[nerys]

I guessed that and tried it. did not blow up on me once I let it load IT DOES seem quite a bit spunkier now. the gui is not much faster (but not intolerable) but apps LOAD quite a bit faster now at least they seem to so I assume its working. Now to go hunt for an auto killer since it seems to run an awful lot of background apps that I just don't need running in the background. (like gv and slacker etc..)

That's what the PM commands are for. If you go thru it (it's a pain, I know...) it'll disable these apps from starting on boot automatically (I had a ton when I started!) The problem with task killer apps is they don't solve that problem.

The other part of the problem is freeing up memory appropriately, which is hopefully addressed in the minfree stuff. I'd be curious of there's better values, I am going to run them for a while and see if changing them does make a difference.

It's not nearly as pretty, but using ADW, disabling all animations in Android and ADW have made things really, really snappy.
