Use SRS to see the entire today, SPB+ sometimes cuts some part of todya
I am using sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 and did not face such a problem, I am not aware about version 2.2!
Hi dNuOs,
I've got exactly the same problem - I've emails Spb about it, but no answer yet.
Also missing Storage Card

Only see main memory, So nothing about my Storage Card
Ah ha! So yes there are other people with this problem. I too had it and here's how I fixed it.
Firstly, enable the backup battery icon, move it too position 1, i.e. the first icon on the today screen.
Then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Spb Software House
Pocket Plus
Today Items
Pannels
00000
Modify the 'Action' string and change *backupbattery to *storagecard
Then tap&hold on the tab where you want the icon to appear, choose add/remove items and you will see Storage Card 1 Indicator, it can be enabled and will then show on the today screen. No problem.
I found that you can use this method to add multiple instances of the same indicators if you want.
NOTE that if you did not move the backupbattery icon to postion 1, then you will have to edit the string value at the appropriate position, it will be one the values 00000-00004
Cheerio
Thank you

Mate, you're just great!!! It works perfect, thanks for your support.
Just one question... how you managed to do this? I mean, how did you know the correct name was "*storagecard", just checked on a previous version of the software i guess...
thanks again
Heh heh, glad it's working for you guys.
I knew that the name would be storagecard, just from the formatting of the other names, I took a gamble I guess but I had a good idea it was correct. :lol:

This is not an error, it is a precise will of SPB.
When I wrote to them because of a problem of my version 2.1, they told me that on some machines this option created hard resets :shock: , so they decided to move it out in some following release. And here we are.
Well I've not had any hard resets, and I wanted the feature, mostly for appearance sake, as three small icons did not fill the width of the screen but four do!
I can image senarios that might cause problems with this icon, but it's down to programming, if SPB refresh the states too frequently, it will cause a performance overhead, and with any additional cards it causes i/o to check capacity.
There's no setting to adjust the refresh interval, but as I said I've not had any problems, and I did not see any release notes that talked about the removal of a feature!
Cheers

I agree with you, but this is what PocketPlus product manager told me
Of course they are not willing to advertise a loss of functionality, at least until they find another solution...

I install spb pocket plus 2.2 on iPAQ H6365, I realized a few problems been encountered. I sent a text message to someone, but he could receive the same message for up to 5 times intermittently, I won't realized that till the party mention it.
I'm not sure if you'd also know the remedy for this sickness
The fix to this has been posted several times on other threads, but all you have to do is add an exclusion to the "close button" enhancement for tmail.exe.
tmail.exe is closing before it's getting chance to send the whole text properly and is sending it more than once.
You should also be careful with enabling the SD card monitoring feature - it appears to be this that is causing the xda2 to lock up/die with no option to fix but to hard reset/remove battery (not spb's fault, it happens with other today plugins too). Apparently it's the hardware - this is why spb removed the functionality.
You may think it's running ok, but please don't be using your xda for anything life critical (e.g. mapping out someone's brain operation). Mine was fine for two months before it started displaying this behaviour!
rgds,
Alex.
That little fix for restoring the SD card monitor was mine, and when I looked SPB are now claiming that it may cause lockups on ROM Version 1.60
I'm on 1.72 and with this fix and SPB 2.2 I've no problems. Something about this issue could be done by SPB, one solution would be to include a refresh timer, aka Battery Pack. The issue with lockups can occur when the request for capacity is sent to the expansion card. This could happen when there is i/o on the card and thereby cause a possible problem.
All that said, I've *never* (yet!) had a problem with SPB 2.2
Thanks

NinjaDonkey, thanks for the guide on this, I just did the "Exception" on tmail.exe, with spb pocket plus 2.2. But do not know yet if problem would persist, guess wouldn't be.
Do you know whether it's using lots of memory in the today plug-ins as we customize to display many programs on the today screen? You know those with Main, Connection, System, etc... Especially in the system, it's by default been customized to display quite a few of programs/system programs, would this be a factor to slow down or cause a hang on the ppc? If your answer yes, then i guess i am going to remove those of un-needed ones.
Okay, I've decided to start this thread with the intention of collecting specific, practical, and working ideas on how to make this ROM a real speed demon.
Currently, my device is really fast, not just fast. I'm using 192dpi with Spb Mobile Shell and Diamond Interace skin, and every single click produces instant response. My TomTom 7 loading is also much faster (faster in portrait than landscape though) .The tweaks that I have performed however, is suitable only for the way I use the device, so not all ideas will be applicable to everyone.
Requirements:
==========
For start, let me say that my requirements are as follows:
- I do not use bluetooth headset, or bluetooh gps. I only use it for file transfer purposes to/from PC and to/from other phones.
- I do not want auto-rotate. That drives me crazy. I only want it done with my user assigned hardware button. However, I do want to use the sensor applications such as the bubble level. I use this to figure out the slope on my golf putting green, as a example of its use. (It's cheating in golf rule BTW, but I use it only for practice purposes, not during Competition)
- I want to manually initiate the QuickGPS data download, not automatically, and I do not wish to be reminded if it "expires".
- I do not use the sub-display or carry hardware keyboard
- I do not use the HTC TouchFLO, as I think that FtouchSL works much better. Just remember to exclude application such as Opera, Resco File explorer so that you don't end up having the half freezing effect.
- I do not use Windows Live, as I'm not in US or England
Tool needed
=========
You need to install FDCSOFT Task Manager to manage the services.
The idea
=======
To disable all unused services which requires loading as well as resources to run on a continula basis.
What services have I disabled?
======================
1. SubDisplay(SDM0)- this is only needed if I use keyboard and I want the subdisplay to work.
2. HTC Sensor Service (Athena)(SEN1: ) this is only needed if I want the device to auto-rotate globally. If I want it to rotate only for specific applications, I still can disable this if I use the SKKV GSensor application..
3. Windows Live (WLM0). I don't use this software, so why let this service run all the time?
4. Bluetooth Audio Gateway (BAG0) I think I only need it if I'm using bluetooth headset but not sure. Those of you with BT headset might want to see if the headset still works if this is disabled.
5. Bluetooth HID Loader (BHL0) I was surprise that all file transfer still works with this disabled.
6. Certificate Enroll Engine (CES0) Not sure what the function is, but my device works okay without it. May be those who connect to the corporate server might need this,
7. Credential Manager (CRD0) Same comment as for item 6.
Set as Manual:
===========
QuickGPS app service (Stop, and set manual).
Currently my File system cache is enabled with cache size of 8MB. My File System filter cache is 4096 sectors and Glyth cache is 64KB. However, I really do no know what is the most optimal setting here. Perhaps someone who has played around and experimented more than myself would improve on this.
In addition, go to the Proccess tab and terminate the following processes:
- BioTouch.exe
- SAPSettings.exe
These two items will come back after each soft reset, so you need to do each again. Anyone knows how to more permanently disable these, please let me know.
Today plugings:
===========
If you're using SPB mobile shell, you should be able to do away with almost all other plugins. I just tick the Home Tab in Today Item selection screen, and pin my most frequently used applications there. I might also place my news feed there later. With spb mobile shell, I now basically have the entire today screen vacant for just these two plugins. Before this, my iLauncher, sbsh weather, spb time, spb phone suite used to take a while to load up after each soft reset. Now, I no longer use iLauncher, SPB time, SBSH weather, SPB Phone suite. Spb mobile shell takes far less resources and loads, loads much faster, and works more quicly than having those four plugins. Part of my continual improvement process I guess to move on.
At present the VGA skin for SPB Mobile shell could not be said to be as attractive as those availabel to the QVGA users. Hopefully this will change.

I'm using 1.58. I do really think that there is a noticeable improvement in data connection speed using this version.
Let's use this thread to collect all the ideas specific to the Sogarth Base ROM
Cheers.
1) Disable SAPsettings too unless you have a car BT and you want to access the SIM data (SAP=Sim Access Profile)
2) Install NETCF3.5 using modaco tools NETCFCFG and NETCFv35 cab. You still have the 2.0 and level will work PLUS the 3.5 version to speed up some other appz
BioTouch
Hi EagleSteve,
This post is great idea. This lets us collect and verify all the possible tweeks which we need very much, as this ROM is great, but needs proper set of settings.
About BioTouch, I think it belongs to TouchFlo. I did not instal it (I run Irus Vanilla flavour of Sogarth's rom and FTouchSL as well) and I do not have BioTouch on my list of processes.
It is funy, I also did not install SubDisplay staff, but I have it on list of services, but in stoped state. To be sure I disabled it.
I wonder what about TaskManager(TMX0) and EnlargeStartMenu(EMX0). Both of them I have in stopped state. I do not use TaskManager, as I use WKTask, so mayby I could disable it as well.
I also do not use EnlargeStartManu, but I remember that once Sogarth said that some other apps or services relay on EnlargeStartmenu, so I am afraid to disable it. Any clues?
By the way my, battery status shows up in 10% steps. I think I have ommited something while installing Irus addons. I wonder what could that be.

Odd. The Subdisplay service should be defined in X7510_Subdisplay, so if you removed that, the service shouldn't be there either. It's definitely not in my list, and I removed X7510_Subdisplay.

You're correct that the HTC Task Manager depends on the TaskManager service. Removing PACKAGE_Diamond_TaskManager and PACKAGE_Diamond_TaskManager_0409 will remove that service from the list. Also, EnlargeStartMenu isn't needed - I think you're remembering when I mentioned Diamond_LargeTitleBar (and the corresponding LargeTitleBar/AP21 service), which is notably more useful.

I TaskManager is the tool you use to view the services is'nt it?
Enlagestartmenu could be safely disabled AFAIK,but personally I like it. I do not like the enlaged bottom menu text, but I like the enlaged text for the task bar. Anyway, don't be afraid to stop it and see what happens. If it does not have any ill effect, then go ahead to disable it.
Now that you mentioned it. I thought battery could change in 1% increment in WM6.1 so I also wonder why this changes in 10% increment. That does not bother me however.

HTC Task Manager is too limiting in functionality, which is why we're using FdcSoft Task Manager. I suppose I would go ahead to remove that.
Edit: Actually I do not have any task manager service in my list. I think this is because I had already gone into Start/Settings/System/Task Manager (the white one, not the dark one) and under button tab, I uncheck the Enable Quick Meu on today screen.
Sogarth, from end user's perspective, what is the difference between EnlargeStartMenu and LargeTitleBar? That information is needed before I go ahead to change it and do the correct enabling/disabling.

My understanding is that EnlargeStartMenu gets you the oversized start menu and menus. LargeTitleBar gets you the status bar "magnification" (where the entire screen gets filled with whatever notifications you have).

So, enlarge menu is for the top part of the screen, while large title bar is for the bottom?
I hate big text at the bottom. It makes it necessary for me to scroll my menu items, and mess up the text in a number of applications.
Okay, I now know what the Large Title bar is. It is the guy that gives you the full screen (with the title System Status) with the Data Conncetion Icon, Phone Signal Icon, and Volume Icon when you click on these otherwise small icons on the task bar. Okay, it is useful.

EnlargeStartMenu enlarges the Start Menu and all other menus (including the ones in, say, Resco Explorer). LargeTitleBar only affects the notification icons, I believe. For example, if you tap on your signal icon, does it come up with a black screen labelled "System Status", with magnified versions of all of your other notification icons? That's LargeTitleBar.

Thanks. Removed. Don't have a bluetooth car phone. Even if I have it, it would not make sense to use it. Athena is already a good speakphone.
What about the biotouch? I regret having installed it since if I ever want auto-rotate I could use SKKV Gsensor. Where is the registry entry to remove in order to get this service out of the system for good?
Edit: found this folder: HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch. Can I delete the entire key? Will it inadvertantly remove also the component needed to run BubbleLevel and the other sensor based program?

BioTouch is for TouchFLO. To completely disable TouchFLO, you should be able to disable the SmartTouch service. Unfortunately, I'm actually not sure where Biotouch.exe gets started from. I'm looking right now, though....

Yes it has NETCF 3.5, and some applications could have problems. I prefer to have BOTH using the modaco tool to have the full compatibility

I've seen lots of conflicting information about filesystem caching. Thing is, according to Microsoft, all of the numbers you think you're changing either do nothing (since the values are actually loaded in XIP), or the numbers only affect SD cards (post from April 13, 2006 2:13 PM).
Now... that being said... guess what? We can muck around with the XIP ourselves! So maybe that would be an interesting option....
SmartTouch service
Can anybody tell something about SmartTouch. Is it with TouchFlo, so if this is not used then we could disable SmarttToch as well?
Edit:
Sorry, didn't noticed previous posts.

Maybe this is my problem with AgePhone and it's crackling sound in this rom. I believe in Irus Full, there was .NETCF 2.0 and I installed NetCF3.5 afterwards. Mayby this AgePhone uses 2.0? This means I should go back to kitchen and try to cook my version of Vanilla wit Necf2.0 and then install all the rest from Irus addons.
I wonder if I can omit this endless customization loop, as my first attempt ended up with it so I dropped it and went to Irus version, only to find out that it was there as well. Maybe it was not in the rom, but in my extended rom. I've opened it and found some config.txt with cabs to install. I think they are from my original HTC rom 6.0, but am not sure.

If this is the case, it would mean there is no point playing with the pagepool size, right? Might as well have 0 MB pagepool like what irus is doing with his latest ROM.
Victoria, Agee Phone works
I just found that they have new version, 2.62. I installed it and it works well. Great. so now I can stay on this rom at last, as all the other things seem to be solved.
Edit:
wuuu. It is not working on 3G/HDSPA. It only works well on WiFi. It is strange, becouse my office is connected to internet through HDSPA dongle. It means that some network settings in this rom make VoIP connection such a poor one. I have to further investigate.
This small tool was originally inspired by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432966
About
WMRegOptimizer is a small tool that tries to optimize registry access - "defrag" it, if you will. It doesn't perfectly defrag it, but it goes a long way. This results in somewhat faster registry access for applications where this is the bottle-neck.
So this speeds up my device?
Not really. It lowers latency for certain system calls, which may result in some things being a bit faster. It doesn't magically make your device faster, but it may be more responsive in some situations.
Instructions
Install the attached CAB on your device, and run WMRegOptimizer from your start menu.
Before pressing Go, make sure you do the following things:
- Close all running applications
- Uncradle the device
- Put the device in airplane mode
- Be sure your battery isn't on the low side
After the app says it's done, close it, and soft-reset your device.
The app may appear to freeze at times. Do not soft-reset or terminate the app. It will continue. The entire process may take up to 5 minutes.
Things going wrong is unlikely but by no means impossible, we want to minimize that chance. We do this by making sure as few apps and services as possible are using the registry. Mucking about with the registry is a dangerous thing, and if things do go wrong, often a hard-reset is needed to put things right again.
Why soft-reset
Some apps 'monitor' the registry, these will be informed of the changes. This is why you may for example get a QuickGPS popup or your backlight will go to full-power all of a sudden when the app is running. Soft-resetting makes these apps reread the correct data from the registry. The whole operation also messes with the registry a LOT, and this slows down the device as well (probably a bug or memory/handle leak in registry handling somewhere in WM). Again, soft-resetting clears this up.
Testing
This tool has been tested on my Raphael (Touch Pro), Diamond and Kaiser (TyTN II), and seems to work fine. Your milage may vary. The interface isn't much, but hey, it's about what it does
PROVIDED "AS-IS". USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION ON A STOCK ROM, YOU WILL BE SORRY. Custom ROMs usually have the right registry permissions/policies to do this, but if not, there's a bigger chance things may go wrong.
Chainfire you are amazing. Thank you for all your valuable contributions!
hahaha...
...will give this a swirl and report back...thanks for the creation!....am i correct in thinking that sktools has a similar feature with reg optimizer...
Faster = Better
Thank you for sharing.
Best regards,

Installed and ran the program , worked great !
Great job !
thank you very much Chainfire
it works fine on my polaris. thanks man
sounds good. Thanks 4 sharing.
Cool for Diamond
Hi Chainfire, thanks for the tool. I've just run it on my Diamond and everything still works I'm happy to say. I can't notice any immediate difference but then I didn't expect too, any way seems to be a good app. with no diamond issues, Thanks again.
So would you recommend running this regularly, I seem to install and un-install stuff all day long, so is this reg. defrag going to help keep my phone in slick order?
no good with my tilt,when i soft reset as said to do when it was finished it reset but got stuck on bootscreen
yes! its works!
thank you very much for your great program! I installed it on my Gene P3400 (lomlom's 20755 rom with manila2d), it definitely response quickly when try to go to setting - system, it is also have improvement when I try to make a call, it is much more faster when I try to send a sms from my contact list, strongly recommended to all Gene P3400 user!
Installed and ran it on my sprint mogul. All is well. Thank you for this, dschoenike
oh, nice thingy, will test it ASAP.
thank you, working great on my kaiser!
steph
Seemed to work fine.
The only issue that I had is the completion percentage never exceeded 80% even though the text eventually updated to Complete or whatever the done message happens to be.

Not really. It may help, but it's unclear how fast this whole registry muck-up is, it really depends on your usage of the device. I'd say once a month would be more than adequite for even a heavy user. Unless you notice your device is getting slower and slower, then give it a shot.
Or in short: who knows

The only issue that I had is the completion percentage never exceeded 80% even though the text eventually updated to Complete or whatever the done message happens to be.

That probably means that at 80% it got to a registry key it was not able to manipulate and aborted the operation (note that 99% of the time it will abort in such a case before it 'damages' your setup). Not to worry though, at 80%, you've had pretty much all the registry keys who 'fragment' a lot and cause the slowdowns.
I'll add some code in the next version that just skips the relevant key or gives you an actual error message or whatever
I don't see any change for the moment, but thks you for your job
thanks for this, trialing it out and will report soon, done it and it seems to have improved, any improvement is good improvement for a device this old, until I get my touch 3G!
Cheers!!
Edit it seems to be good for the hermes, the only downside if it is a downside is that it removed my wallpaper, which I can re set by going to the today screen config anyway. But everything seems swell. SPB mobile shell 2.1 crashes less with this, normally it would crash for me once in a day after heavy use. Hasn't yet touch wood.
So ... all in all, I think follow the instructions good for the hermes.
Thanks, i install and run it on my POlaris with the RTM from M-amine.
See any change for the moment, i just lost my register manila weather city and my manila favorite contact after rebooting.
(that's not important i'll add them again)
I have just installed and run on my TP. No problem
Thanks.
Hi,
I encountered a strange problem. It seems like WinMo automatically close applications when there is more than 4 of them.
When I have four applications running and I open fifth, one of the running application is closed. It cannot be lack of memory because Internal Storage is 40MB free and Main Memory 174MB.
Is it a WinMo limitation or a bug?
Thanks for any help
Tomas
seems like your task manager is set to "auto-kill"
use a registry editor of your choice, navigate to:
Hkey_Current_USER/Software/HTC/Taskmanager
and change "Autokill" from 1 to 0
Hi, you may check this video, winmo can run 4 apps or more without
problem

Thanks for quick reply.
However I didn't find any item called Autokill in Taskmanager registers. There is below only Default and ExclusiveList\System\ but it doesn't contain any kill
I looked for 'Kill' in registers and the only thing I found was HTC\OOM\Killchance 0x3.
Should I add this entry in Taskmanager?
Thanks for help

Hey
I used to have a similar issue, the cause of the problem was a number of redundant progs/ shortcuts in Windows\StartUp folder, once deleted it solved the problem, now I can open 8-9 progs with no probs, however, not sure how experienced you are with winmo so im wary of telling you to do the same (if you decide to take this route, google the items before deleting & always make a backup). as for the autokill feature you can disable this with advanced config:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
1 last thing you might want to try is sktools you can use the demo see if it works for you & change 'Optimize' settings to 'Memory'
these are just a few options to try but you def' should not be limited to 4 progs.
hope this helps
Hi,
thanks for tips but so far nothing helped.
Autokill is definitely disabled. I used Advanced Config tool and it is OK.
My StartUp doesn't contain nothing special - there is about 10 items.
I so far haven't tried SK tools.
However I observed more details about this strange behavior. At first I noticed that number of running application varies in time - most probably due to different RAM available (however still 170MB).
Secondly there is something called "CursorWindow" which consumes extreme amount of memory for short time. I did following experiment - I ran 5 applications in parallel and as a 6th I opened Resco Task Manager. This shutdowns one of previous five applications. And Resco among normal applications shows task called "CursorWindow Memory: 85.7MB". When run it again this task is not there anymore. It appears only when it shutdowns my applications.
Does anybody know what CursorWindow is about?
Best Regards
Tomas

Didn't want to post this in the dev section but this app seems extremely useful and I was curious if there was any way of extracting it for use on other android devices?
That would be very darn useful for everyone.
I'm using tasker . . . you can do alot of creative stuff with it, but it is kinda complicated and costs ~$6

I have tasker as well but in general I dont find it super user friendly. From the looks of it Smart Action could replace tasker as well as juice defender which I also use.
I've already made one for home, work and when I go to bed. It seems pretty user friendly to me. Excellent app.
Heh, even if someone extracts it, it needs Blur libraries and frameworks, too.

I've seen harder things get ported on xda just needs willing developers
I haven't really had a look at this Smart Action App yet as I still haven't received my microsim. I was wondering how sophisticated it is?
Is it possible to have it read sms when connected to bluetooth, for example? I attempted this with Tasker on my Defy with no success - I don't think Tasker liked MIUI very much

Tasker does many things but in terms of doing things you need to know the proper terms for the various variables etc for what you want to do which isnt too simple
Here are some premade ones you can download or make but none for what you wanted
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
As an example of how complicated it can get with tasker is the following. How to make a battery full notification.As you can see the app lets you do allot but is not super user friendly. Smart Action may not be able to do all that tasker is able to but may be able to do most and may be more user friendly
click New and select Event
select event category Power and event Battery Full
click Done
click + in the bottom left to add an action
select category Alert and action Notify (Sound)
type Battery Full! in the Title field
click Done
To avoid getting a repeat notification within 30 minutes, we add a cooldown:
Click on the profile and select Profile Properties
Slide the Cooldown Time slider to the far right
Click Done
Alternative solution to avoid repeat notifications (added by b00ky)
Set a variable such as "%BFN" to 0 anytime you plug in your phone
Edit the "Notify Sound" task to only run "If %BFN < 0"
Add a new task "Tasker » Variable Set » %BFN to 1"
This has worked for me and makes sure you only get notified ONCE while it is plugged in as opposed to after 30 minutes of cooldown.
I'm new to this so I apologize if this is not a good way to do this, but it works for me.
An alternative to the alternative to avoid repeat notifications. If you tend to leave plugged in for long durations, 30 minute cool down may not do it for you. The below gives you a one time notification that your battery is full, and wont repeat until you unplug/replug back in. phonedude
Profile - Battery 100%
Event - Battery Full
Enter task -
1. Play your sound
2. Set Profile Status {Battery 100%} to Off
Exit task-
n.a.
Profile - Plugged In
State - Power (Source = Any)
Enter task -
1. Profile Status {Battery 100%} to On
Exit task-
1. Profile Status {Battery 100%} to Off
Thanks for that fidorulz! Much appreciated. I notice on that site that the guy tried to get the read SMS to work and failed, tried again and got it working but doesn't know how!
http://tasker.wikidot.com/readsmswhileincardock
I found a walk through on here that would not work either and I assumed it was because of MIUI, as Tasker didn't register any SMS being received. It seems that the %SMSRF and %SMSRB variables only get initialised when an SMS is received.
I will patiently wait for tmobile and the royal mail to get their fingers out and deliver my microsim and I will give it another go
I use "Setting Profiles" pretty simple and powerful, a lot easier to use than tasker (although not quite as powerful in the nitty-gritty) but definitely hits the 80/20 rule. It costs, but I believe there is a free version to try out the functionality and see how you like it.
