* cleanRAM is a very useful tool for Windows Mobile devices.
* cleanRAM lets you with a single click release part of the RAM on your PDA and accelerating in this way.
* cleanRAM is a memory reclaimer similar to Oxios but with advanced settings and actually works! great solution for the Windows Mobile memory leak problem.
* cleanRAM attempts to release as much memory as possible, cleanRAM will refresh your device memory (RAM).
* cleanRAM can save you a lot of SOFT RESET!
Important: Use cleanRAM at your own risk!!! NO WARRANTY!!!
Although running this application does not seem to make any damage, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage caused to the device or data due to this application.

Ultimate Touch Screen Sensitivity!!! - 17/03/2010 - 17:42
With this Tweak, Thanks to azharsunny, you can increase the touch sensitivity of your Topaz, and get a few more responsible Sense interface.
THIS WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON BATTERY LIFE!!! - It just changes registry values for Touch pressure. To restore default values, just align again the screen.
You can do it by going to Start > Settings > System > Display > Align Screen.
Grab the cab from here! - The one I posted is the most sensitive one... You can find other cabs, by going to the official thread!

STRANGE Manila 2.5 Fastness - NOT SOLVED - 16/03/2010 - 16:32
Hi all XDA-Devs friends!!
Yesterday, in the late evening I was playing with my lovely TD2 (I LOVE IT! ) when I discovered an unexpected speedness in the Photos and Videos Tab...
Today, after coming back from school, I decided to made a short video, showing off how much fast it is!! It becomes FAST AS THE LEO!!!
What I noticed, is that it's so fast when it's showing videos... so, why Videos make it fast and photos slow down it?
I thought it's because of the shadow that makes photos becoming heavy CPU eaters... So, I think, there would be a way of removing all elements making it slower and get a faster landscape Photos tab view!!
Here is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIntL7NdYdE
Then read here what I tried!
Videos are made in VGA (640x480), while photos on 5MPX...
So, just make photos at a lower resolution should solve the problem...
Anyway, I tried to make photos at QVGA resolution 320x240 (lower than videos one ), but anything changed... QVGA Photos were slow as 5MP ones...
That's why I think it's a problem of textures... I just analized Photos tab with Manila CFC GUI, and seen that Videos have only one object/tecture for edges, while Photos have a minimum of 3!! Two for Polarois Corners and one for the shadow...
So I don't know if objects/texture can be removed from manila... What do you think??

Are you joking? I just shown that videos are rendered more smooth than photos...
So I just asked if anybody know ho to remove shoadow from photos polaroids' corners...
Erm.. my take on this is videos are low-rez, but photos are not.
That's why still pics are slower.

I tought the same, so I tried shooting photos at QVGA res, but nothing changed.

Ohhh yes! I'm thinking in making a Thread with Manila fixes, in order to get your Sense 2.5 as fast as possible!
I'm analizing the manila photos tab, every single frame of the tab, but I can't realize why photos are slower than videos... :S
As others have tried to say we assume it's because a video is only 640 x 480 where as pictures are 2592 x 1944 (5mp widescreen off).
This thread needs moving to: Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps ??
faster? slower? err what does it mean?
The video will run at the speed you recorded?
I like it! Thank you, very much!
LOL...
Open Files Explorer with Show All Files Option. Check in Application Data\HTC\HTC Album you will see all screen shots of videos you have, it is about 10kb/screen shot, so the manila tab will be smooth like Leo one.
With the photos, manila will load one by one with over 1.5Mb/pic, every animate, rotate... the manila tab will load "full" size of pic. It will slow.

You could start by collecting the alternatives to HTC messaging from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630331
Another tip to gain speed and RAM is to disable every manila tab you don't use.
Hopefully people will post here all there own tweeks to speed up sense 2.5 from all the differnt builds on this forum. Collect them all into one place and share them, its tough trawling through all the builds and I'm sure there are some great tweaks and discoverys hidden away in all the differnt build forums that would benifit many people on here.

true gentleman from the UK you are.

So I am new to the PPC world. I just got my Titan a little over a week ago and it's my first one. Since getting it I have flashed it probably 25 times and have completely become obsessed with it. I didn't find any kind of benchmarking on all of the current roms that are out right now, so I decided I would go ahead and do it. There is nothing scientific about this. It's not really fair to compare some of the roms considering one like dcd comes completely stripped down versus Reloaded that has lots of apps, m2d, TouchFLO, etc. For this reason I have a "best" in each category which DCD won almost every time, and then a "best non-dcd". But the data should still help some people decide what rom they might want to use.
I did each one the same way. Flashed the rom, did a hard reset, installed spb benchmark and oxios hibernate if the rom didn’t include it. I then did a soft reset and checked free ram and then ran oxios and logged ram after that. I then ran benchmark and saved the results.
There are only a couple of things worth mentioning and both are about PPCKitchen. I did a basic but not stripped down rom. I included what apps I would typically use. It was a rom very close to Reloaded but with less stuff in it. I know it’s a kitchen so anyone doing this might come up with different results. Secondly is that I was unable to successfully complete the Arkaball test while running the PPCKitchen rom without it freezing, so you will see a 0 as a result in that test.
I performed the following tests in Spb benchmark:
File system tests
Carried out to measure the speed of working with files:
* Read 1 MB file
* Copy 1 MB file
* Read 10KBx100 files
* Copy 10KBx100 files
* Directory list of 2000 files
* Internal database read
Graphics tests
Carried out to measure target Pocket PC's graphics subsystem performance:
* DDB BitBlt
* DIB BitBlt
* GAPI BitBlt
Miscellaneous Tests
* Compress 1 MB file using ZIP
* Decompress 1024x768 JPEG file
* Arkaball frames per second
* CPU test: Whetstones MFLOPS
* CPU test: Whetstones MOPS
* CPU test: Whetstones MWIPS
* Copy 1MB using memcpy
The results were surprising in some ways but obvious in others. In most cases the rom with the most amount of free memory performed the best, but you will see that’s not true in every case. I will start off with free memory for each rom.
Oh and it's important to note that the results are how many ms (milliseconds) it took the test to finish. So a higher bar in the graph is actually worse, except for free memory of course.
This is going to be split across a lot of posts because apparently I can’t link more than 4 images per post.
Edit: Compressed results to fewer graphics, also making it easier to read and compare.

Note: nuerom3-201 in high memory mode actually LOST ram when running Oxios after boot. I tested multiple times. The only theory I have is there is actually so much free memory that you are seeing the memory that Oxios uses. Unfortunately all this free ram was not reflected in the benchmarks as high memory mode actually performed worse than low memory in almost every test.
Note 2: The current results do not show post-Oxios because I am not the only one benchmarking and I don't have Oxios results for all tests.
PPCKitchen Roms Results
As requested, I have tested all 4 current builds that come up in PPCKitchen. I built them all the same way and tested them the same way. I rebuilt and re-tested 20931 despite having tested it right above this one to make sure my results were consistent.
All roms were built using the following options:
sprint carrier, vistahide battery gauge, skip welcome, comm manager 6-button flat, office excel, office powerpoint, office word, adobe reader, total commander file explorer, htc enlarge start menu, htc titan camera, arcsoft mms 5, nueled, nuelight, oxios memory, touchflo 2d dialer, icontact, no sms sent notification, htc touch keyboard, manila 2d, manila 2d customizer, ftouchflo.
These options were chosen for no reason other than it's what I would use to build a rom. Obviously changing these options would result in different benchmarking results, so the results are kind of subjective.
All roms were created in PPCKitchen, flashed, hard reset, install spb benchmark, soft reset, check ram and run oxios, then benchmarked.

I'll be testing with Spb benchmark as well over the weekend .. will be testing
dcd4.1 / 3.2.6 / R4R / TR1.3.2 and T6.5.. guess I'll post up my results here
as well, also hope they will not be conflicting .. but confirming ..
Thanks and nice job..
Well after a long night / morning of testing .. here are my results ..
Using SPB 1.6 PDA test tool ..
Some Notes:
Because ALL DCD ROMs has an great advantage over other ROMs; being that
All DCD ROMs are bare bone, nothing loaded type of base rom .. I decided
to unselect Touch FLO from the R4R, Titan Reloaded and WM6.5 Roms,
this help to level the play field, however the TouchFLO Roms, still had a few
little apps still running, like battery monitor, active task bar manager,
2d dialers, etc.. all running in the bg..
Test configuration:
* TouchFLO disable or removed..
* Today items are re-enable
* screen capture running (used 195k of ram)
Battery monitor, was running during R4R and TR 1.3.2, also active task bar
manager was running during WM6.5 and TR 1.3.2
All ROMs was tested 3 times each, the best of 3 runs are shown, ALSO
One major thing to note, after loading DCD 4.1.2 and TR 1.3.2 available
RAM memory increased by 350-380 KB (0.35 Mb) because of this DCD 4.1.2
shows even more available than norm ..
Summary;
DCD 4.1.2 had an avg. of 1 Mb Free RAM available over all other ROM,
Keep in mind DCD ROMs has less running processes .. still very impressive
Seeing over 27MB of RAM before I loaded the screen capture software ..
Available RAM = DCD 4.1.2
Best write performance = WM6.5
Best overall write performance = WM6.5
Best read performance = DCD 4.1.2
Best overall read performance = WM6.5
Best read/write (copy) performance = DCD 4.1.2
Best overall read/write (copy) performance = WM6.5
Best CPU performance = WM6.5
Best Overall CPU performance = DCD 4.1.2
Best Graphic performance, DCD 4.1.2, R4R and TR 1.3.2 shown
100% the same performance, WM6.5 and DCD 3.2.6 being slower..
Overall Winner IMO WM6.5 reason being, the additional process running
takes up both memory and CPU, plus the fact its M2D ready!!
Also Note .. R4R and TR 1.3.2 are both base on the DCD 3.2.6 ROM,
DCD 4.1.2 is more on par with WM6.5 ROM.
Final note R4 Reloaded fail the (Arkabal frames per sec. test) feeling is something to
do with direct-draw not working correctly .. so for R4R I had to skip that test..
See attach for my raw test files produce by the SPB testing tool .. anyone good with MS Excel
can make a nice 3D chart of my results .. go for it..
Yea I wanted to get WM 6.5 in the mix but it looks like a CL Kitchen was the only thing available and I haven't had time to sit down and learn how to use it and mess with it.
I was e-mail this link by SPB but it does not work .. can you att. a copy of

Sorry that I didn't respond to you sooner. Yea the original email link from spb didn't work for me either. I ended up googling it.
The other thing you will find is that the program has the ability to analyze your benchmarks and compare them to other devices, however none of that actually works anymore. It's all web-based and it appears that they took it down. That's why I did it all manually.
I'm looking forward to your results. I will post my actual numbers soon as opposed to just graphs so we can compare.
Thanks so much for your work. It is very much appreciated.
its all good ..

Thank you flipzmode and Mr-free! Way above and beyond.
The new DCD ROM kicks butt, eh? It's odd that 6.5 is worse at graphics right now. Thank you very much for this.
It's obvious that I have a long way to go with my beta ROM, and I'm glad to see that my 1.3.2 is actually outperforming it's predecessors.
Based on the screenshots, it's odd that my 1.3.2's title bar seemed to be different shades of gray between screens, and also it's odd that the icon for the keyboard isn't the one for the new diamond keyboard, did you not install that package? It's a memory hog.

The problem with those new Devices is that they lack of hardkeys. The HD2, Touch HD, HD Mini and Touch Pro 2 lack of a camera button. Why use the touchscreen when you may use any Hardware button to take a photo and zoom in/out .
Devices that are proven to be working:
-HTC HD2 aka. HTC Leo
-HTC Touch HD aka. HTC Blackstone
-HTC Touch Pro 2
-HTC HD Mini
-HTC Touch Diamond 2
Just install, close any open HTC Camera windows and run it over one of my icons. If you are able to change to volume, update your HTC Camera.
Thank you Star for your icons and the initial idea!

Thanks for this one Scilor. Very happy to see that someone finally faces this problem after all the time. Some slight suggestions:
It would be great if your programm could ran as a (less-resource-and-battery-eating) service in the background, which only becomes active, when the camera is started. This way the camera would start faster (takes a while now because of the splashscreen) and you wouldnt need the extra shortcuts...
Big Probs again
It only runs when the camera is active (When you use my shortcuts). Using a Service will use more battery power.
The Splashscreen can be disabled in a future version What against my icons
Absolutely fantastic! Works superbly!
If only i hadn't broken my camera glass today
Thanks again scilor!
P.S. is the "killme" file always necessary? it's a pain to download directly to the device when on EDGE (just nitpicking here )

Nothing against your icons Happy that you designed some at all I just like a clean/tydied up startmenu with less shortcuts as possible.
The PhotoCam is the only one i really need anyway and now has its place in my Sense-Quicklinks (everybody can delete/move the other shortcuts he doesnt need, so no problem with this one).
Thanks again, the Prog is working absolutely great. Ideal for self-portraits (which has always been a mess until now).

Killme is just for those One-Click-Hosters, you can delete it. If you are on mobile you may download from my website (Please only download if needed, it costs traffic).
Your nice device Do not drop it!

The PhotoCam is the only one i really need anyway and now has its place in my Sense-Quicklinks (everybody can delete/move the other shortcuts he doesnt need, so no problem with this one).
Thanks again, the Prog is working absolutely great. Ideal for self-portraits (which has always been a mess until now).

nice idea! =)
is it possible to use volume keys for zoom and any other key for shot ?
I will take a look, but I do not think so. The HTC Camera maps the Volume keys to one key, very crazy but true
Awesome, works great. Now I wonder why HTC did not give this atleast as an option.
Thanks
Looks interesting, will try when i finish work....Thanks
Awesome Scilor, it seriously pissed me off that HTC could of missed such an obvious feature. Thanks for fixing HTC's mistake.
Scilor, did you see my request??
This is truely awsome! I've beeen waiting for this!
It made my day!
Thanks!
Edit: Hmmm, cant seem to get it to work... Installed it to device. When I run the app it automatically stats the camcorder. I switch to camera and when I press the volume keys the volume adjustment window comes up. It doesnt help if I hold the volume keys.
What am I doing wrong?

What device do you have? What Rom do you have?
not working on mine as well, hd2 - stock rom 1.48, installed, restared.. not working.manila 2.5.1921
EDIT:
uuuups, sorryyy, i thought i just run a normal camera icon.. working great..
First of all, you must close the camera app if it is running.
Then run it over one my icon(Not the normal one!). Then press the VolUp/VolDown keys. If you are able to change the volume, my program is currently incompatible with your version of the HTC Camera Application.

Tips for taking better photos
These are a few tips that is quite helpful for you guys to take good photos on your Wildfire.
1. Camera Advance Lite / Camera Advance
-There are a few settings that is quite useful and can apply it really quick.
-Useful settings, E.g: Burst setting, grid, EV, Panorama, reduced noise, OSD ......
-You can apply these setting really quick when you are in a hurry to take a good photos
2. Try not to use Zoom
-Zoom in mobile phones are fake! There are zoom, but not optical zoom and it is just digital zoom.
-If you want to enlarge focus of the photo, just go to gallery and enlarge it.
3. Take several photos instead of one
-Take a few photos and pick the best one to store it.
-Try to take from different angle and choose the best one.
4. Hold your camera steadily
5. Not to use flash
-Try to use EV/ISO to enhance the brightness of photo instead of using flashlight.
Hope these tips is helpful for you guys.
Give me a "Thanks" if this is useful =]

I've never had ANY readability issues with the compression on. I take photos of school timetables and exam schedules all the time.
Edit: Just my opinion - i normally have over 150mb of camera pics already, without compression it would be 250mb-ish.

your computer has a high resolution screen. I was talking about a hypothetical low-res screen, which you obviously dont have - which means that you dont need such high quality casual photographs. I'd rather have the 250% reduction in file size any day.
And I don't think you can fix the video quality easily. It depends on codecs which are built into the phone which I have no idea how to import from a HTC ROM.

BETA V2 VIDEO DEMO
Yey First,
Ill try when i get my Touch HD charged up =)
kk np si dude,
ill update the beta tonight and upload it for everyone, just need to fix a few bugs and add the scoped button i mentioned in the todo list..
let me know what you think of the alpha
Any chance of the public beta still? This looks amazing...
just to let you know..
ive added the scope in/scope out button which obviously lets you use the scope or iron sights on the gun, but the fps goes realy low when using the scope!
however, after thinking about it, this lower fps while inscope can be a "feature" to slow down time lol
the fps is still a little slow at times - this is usually when loading large images, i dont think ill be able to make the fps any faster without making all the graphics/sprites smaller - which is something i dont want to do
ive tried turning the fps up on each image, but didnt notice any differance.
if you can play with a little lag, its a cool game.
im not putting a release date on the public beta, its not ready yet
check first post for updates
Looks avensome! please public this alpha for only test speed on my rhodium OC 710Mhz and more
I also rhodium. It's very interesting to try this thing.
Forward to.
i hope alll picture can be edit because i have some interesting IDEA about graphics...
Keep it up, looks promising...
PS... i m talking about something like that, to have a real identity...
hey dude,
cheers for taking an interest and going out of your way to mock up an example,
yeah, all the graphics/sprites for the main menu,
-the orange [>]
-the menu text
-background
-activation buttons
are all separate items so modifiying them wont be a problem.
i like your buttons, i have already added them into the main menu and also the settings menu too, it looks cool
id be more than happy to see what other ideas you have if you want to make a few more examples
EDIT:
pm them if you want
Blood will be more realistic, Aim scope too...
Another example about scope and Point/Kill Readability :
PS... Background come FRom COD...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
^^BETA V1 download link in first post, with new screenshots..

Link not working:

Modern_Battlefield_V1_BETA.zip (15,108 KB)
Found it at wupload link below:
http://www.wupload.com/file/2625173852
File downloaded from wupload does not work.
Installed on HTC TP2.
Can not get past first screen (New Game, Tutorial, Exit - can hear sound and see intro screen, but that's all)
Not sure if this is because the wupload file is older (said it was uploaded 2-days ago).
Will check back, hope 4 solution.
hey dudes,
@fallenmonk
gdgd, thanks
@lohtse
i wont be able to do a QVGA version of the game dude, sorry
@Spey
the download link in the first post is definatly working dude..
im not quite sure why the game is not starting a new game for you, it should work, it works perfectly on my blackstone
Finally you decide to add my graphics idea ?
Did you support transparency in your apps ?
Because i still have original PSD...
other point, tried on TG01...
What the hell ? Gun jump all time... accuracy seems to be very difficult...
hey dude,
send me a link for your PSD's, my version of you idea is a little dodgy
but yeah it supports transparency..
gun jump seems to be a problem with only one person that have tested the alpha/beta
everyone else that tested it said it was fine,
however i could remake it so its a little more like this if you want:
but without the herp derp troll crap..
im only a beginner at making games for windows but i recon i could do a better version than in the vid
Still follow your idea but on my TG01 gun jumps all time...
Check your PM ! PSD is on !
Have fun... if you want help on graphics... i can try to help as good as can...
Hi everybody I want to share this mod I made following the next thread:How to increase camera stats
All I made, after some testings, increase almost all values regarding to camera quality(encoder decoder audio video and image), and set it up as high as Note 3. The results are good, as I saw.
10/08/14 v1:
I doubled the audio quality from 128kbs to 256 kbps for all resolutions. High resolution is up to 288kbps
Increased video bitrate
Increased image bitrate
I able support to wmv and wma
I set estero channel to recording for all resolutions
Increased back and front camera values
And many more goodies I don't remember
11/08/14 v1.3:
Increased a little bit more bitrate values according to video
increased a little bit image quality. I think it's the max possible, but I keep trying to increasing it, to see any difference.
14/08/14 v1.5:
Increased audio quality to 320kbps
Re-adjusted values
added different FPS mod versions
--This is version #1 because I didn't increase all the low values. I installed it in my own phone, and everything is working superb.
Next release I will try to set it higher, as S5 and see what happens, if it's working or not. But by now we have achieve something good.--
Here are some previews: here you can see a little differences regarding to standard values vs. increased ones. Using HDR - strong. Stock Note 2 camera! I realize that after made the modifications the pic is more weighty. I hope you can see the difference in the previews, because I have to low the quality to upload it faster, in tinypic. Sorry.

I didn't test the flashable zip, I only moved the file to "/system/etc" using root explorer and setting permissions, but you tell me.
The idea brings to my head, after testing S5 camera. When you open camera you can see an image super clear and in a higher quality, but when you take a pic, the quality was lower.

Will it work on 4.1.2 roms?
I will try. I use DN3 v5.2
Great work @Austtin
I was for so long looking for a way to get better camera quality, because I don't know why but after the camera firmware update within the 4.3 the camera quality seemed lower than 4.1.2.
It was more of a disaster to take pictures and I can't carry my cameras everywhere.
So thanks a lot.
Wish something like this could be done on AOSP too, the picture quality isn't as good as touchwiz

yeah, I read that it could be placebo. But increasing the bitrate, the image is more weighty. taken the same pic, at the same place and same thing it increase from 2.xx mb to 5.xx mb. So it should increase the quality. The increasing of audio is something real, you can notice the bitrate when you play some sound recorded using camera. And in 480p I increase the (don't remember exactly I should check it) the heigh or width too. In a few days gonna see if I can add support for 4k pics, or if it gives me some forceclose or issue. And also I want to increase the camera values as high as S5, and then test and try again the s5 camera, and how it looks. I think some modification of the camera app, should be done. So this is the beginning.

Thanks Knight, I do my best. Always for help. Not only me if not others. I'm still testing, and I realize that the quality si better so far. Regarding to AOSP, I should check the files involved and what's the camera app too.

Guys!! this is really amazing, take a look at this photo I just take: it's about 5pm here in my country, and using the day light (sun light, not the inside of my home) the pic looks really really great. Now we can compare to the photo taken before. In the previews 1 of the pics was taken during day(with sun light-I'm not talking about the camera effect if not the light of the day or sun jaja), and the other one was taken during night inside of my home using artificial light, the ones inside of your home (sorry I'm still not good enought with my english), so now I can confirm that this's really working!! the bad thing (or contra) is that now the pic is kind heavy weight (about 5 mb) but the quality is higher as you can see. I rather higher quality and weighty pic than poor quality.
that's why 1 of the pics looks kinda yellow and the other one looks whiter.. in OP

Knight at first sight of your file, I can see some differences between your values and even sammy ones. For example, in lower res you have 3gp as video file format, and in sammy we have mp4. And many more differences, but I can adjust it for you and AOSP users. Let me check and I increase all values. The bad thing is that I'm not on AOSP rom, so I can't test by myself
I don't know what could happen if I change the file format, but at first I can play with values, leaving the rest as you have, and then you can test.
I'll test out and report.
It's 2 am in the morning here, so I guess it would be better if I go to sleep, hahaha
But don't worry, try making both version and I'll test it out thoroughly. I can deal with the errors and all. In always keep a backup of my needed stuff on a daily basis, so nothing can stop me from being a mad flashaholic

It's just ready, download it. It's not heavy weight file. it's 211kb zip file!
edit: I increase it as note 3 values, in sammy and, now with your help, aosp. Notice that the pic is more weight than before. In the next days I'm gonna try to increase values as S5, and even see if I can config the correct values to use s5 camera. It's all a matter of give it a try and test.
I try stock note2 and s5 camera, the result: I can assure you, note 2 stock camera is taking better quality photos, after my configs, than s5 on my phone. So I think to use s5 camera, and take photos with a high quality, it needs some configs to do. I'm really enjoying note 2 camera, with this tweaks. The photos are more clear, and are more detailed, than before. I surprised by myself. I realize about it, when I make zoom in photos in gallery app.
