Performance Improvment - Kill BIOTOUCH.EXE - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi,
I've noticed that the file biotouch.exe is always running. (it's the file that activated the Old Cube, that doesn't work in the diamond anyway).
So i killed the process with TaskManager2005 (google it).
It free's up memory, and makes the device snapier.
The question is, How to prevent it from running by default? on Startup?
Nadavi.

You can make a fake biotouch.exe and replace the real one, but i don't now if this realy makes the device snapier.
Something like that I had made here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368269

are you sure that biotouch.exe is just for the old cube?
i think it also implements the finger scrolling for all applications so that you don't have to use the old scrollbar with the stylus.

Yes, it's just for the Cube..
It's similar to the Elf one....
Just replace Biotouch.exe with a 0kb one...
Remember that there are also other applications releated to the cube (at least in Touch rom)...

I killed it but I don't see any difference in the efficiency and in the speed.

Doesn't work.
The device just won't allow this file to be "deleted" \ "Overwritten"...
Nadav.

I killed it as well, but nothing changed...everything remains the same.
But don't take me wrong. When I say everything remains the same, I mean everything remains GREAT!
This device has been the best HTC that I've owned until now
HastaSSSS

mmm... dunno if it's only my impression, but killing biotouch.exe and changing it with a 0kb size file, after a sr my diamond SEEMS fast than before... :O
my 2c
btw: thx for the tip!

so guys does this works with no problem ?!
if so should i replace it with 0kb file or delete it ?

You can't replace or delete it. The The profit is 1-1,5 ΜΒ.

mm and someone tell us how mach program memory you get after that

Wrong font type in comm amanger

I have tried all of the new WM6 rom's with "black" look and in most of them I get that the comm manager font is all messed up destroying the nice original look.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
please take a look at the attached file.
Thanks for your help

Make sure your fonts size is set to medium
Hi jmermel,
Thanks for the reply.
I've checked ad the font is already set to medium.
The problem must be somewhere else...
The same thing has happened to me many times with different roms. In fact it even changed back to normal with a soft reset on some of them.
Hi,
have you the cab file of this comm manager?

Just to make it clear, this problem also happened with other comm managers like the one from HTC Kaiser (10 button) or the one with 8 button... so maybe this has to do with some font that is changed by some piece of software.
Just guessing...
No more ideas about this...?

I have notice this problem too on many ROMs, I think that the issue comes from your today theme or do you have Wheather Panel installed on your device ?
Each time I install this soft, it happens.
Funny- I use weatherpanel too!
me too...I will try to uninstall and see what happpens
No doubt...That's WeatherPanel causing this problem.
Would it be possible to get any workaround???
Go to the weatherpanel folder in the theme folder and remove/rename the 2 TTF files (font files) that are there.
After that softreset and commmanager should be normal again...

Thanks.

ABOUT THE PHONEPAD BUG: I did a hard reset, the Phonepad worked for a few minutes, then it stopped to work after a soft reset, maybe the bug appears after you get into the SIP properties.

CAB to install Office Mobile 2007 onto your storage card (free up some device memory)

I wanted to free up more device memory, but the Office 2007 CABs (I could find) would only install to the device. So I edited the CAB I had, to give you the choice (device or storage card).
It seems to work OK. The shortcuts, on the start menu, weren't pointing to the new location... but I think I have fixed that. Not sure what happens on non-english devices.
The bugbears I have found are;
Hitting the new button in Word generates an error. I think it is because the default template is in the wrong place. So if anyone can shed some light on that, I would be grateful. It's not a biggie tho' I just created a document called "blank.doc" and open that instead.
And the File Associations are pointing to the old location. I edited the registry changes in the CAB, but I screwed up (it couldn't handle the space in 'Storage Card'... hmmm). So I went back to the earlier version, and you have to edit the file associations manually. #
Is anyone willing to lend me a brain cell here?
I'm sure someone will come along now and say, "there is already a CAB that does this".... but I did spend two days looking for one!
Here it is anyway,

there are 3 cases for for software on PDA devices:
applications that are cooked with the ROM installed on your device (in this situation you can not uninstall these applications)
applications that installed as a part of the post-flash customization.
applications that you install yourself
for the 2nd and 3rd situation you may go to "Settings/[Tab: System] Remove Programs" if you want to know which programs are installed on your device and from there you can uninstall the programs that you don't need.
I hope this was a kind of useful for you and it answered your question.
Thanks for replay mate,my case is # applications that are cooked with the ROM installed on your device (in this situation you can not uninstall these applications)so,can't do anything.

If you go into windows and delete the file and then soft reset it gets replaced with an original from the root of the ROM.

You may not like it but a hard reset would be your option. There may be differences with other peoples ROM which could cause more problems than you want.

Here my first work of tab. This one based in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651007. There are two, one in Spanish mode and other in English mode.
CABS
Here are the cabs.
Instructions:
1.Disable Sense from Today items.
2.Install CAB KVR FACEBOOK HVGA (ENGLISH) OR (SPANISH)(this will create a shortcut to "FixStartManila" in your Start Menu)
3.Tap "FixStartManila" to run it. It will likely seem like nothing happened.
4.Tap "FixStartManila" a second time. This time, you will likely see the wait cursor, which will stay for 10 seconds or so.
5.Re-enable Sense in Today items.
6.Done!
Doesn´t work for me. I deactivated Senes, installed the cab, soft reset and reaktivated Sense. No new Tab in the Options. I am running a german stock rom with CHT and used the english cab.

Codiak, this problem was in the Spanish room. You have Germany rom, copy the folder "Facebookutil" in the folder "Program files". I don't know how is in Germani "program files", maybe is "Programmdateien"?
