NEW testdrivers found for possible gpsfix have fun. update [21.09.08]
soft reset after install.
NOTE: a user reported this dll does not work so its on your own risk!!!
if you are not a experienced user dont install this.

Hello i would like to provide you some Htcnavi.dll files wich could possibly fix GPS lags.
replace with a explorer like RESCO the htcnavi.dll file wich is located on the windows folder.
replacing dll drivers needS in order to work and to be loaded properly a soft reset
then start your test and report back. thank you

thank you & regards,

I guess, this file is from the latest raphael rom... I saw it somewhere there..
yes its a collection of some raphael and htc victor dll`s lets find out if one of them fits better for the people who have gps lag
There Are 3 Files inside the ZIP..
wich one we must use -1 or -2?

rename all file back to htcnavi.dll and try each file... must be copied into the windows folder...
just to let you know... the raphael gps is not working too well either...
I remember reading somewhere around here that the reason for the GPS lag in the first place is due to the strain it puts on the CPU, eg, the processor is working overtime and is unable to redraw the exact position in time. This might very well be common knowledge, I don't really know, as I most of the time merely skip the GPS related threads (not that dependant on it myself)
Anyway, has anyone checked the CPU usage when using the provided dll's? And is that the reason for the lag at all? Might add that I'm one of the unlucky ones that experience this...
Thanks alot alpha, i will try these and give feed back!!
take care

I don't believe that is true (about too much CPU usage)
Reason is:
- when I run TomTom7 it only uses about 34% CPU.
- when I run Google Maps is only uses about 19% CPU
- when I run Chartcross GPS Test it only uses about 3% CPU
Plenty of CPU free but still plenty of lag. So that cant be it.
In the official GPS Lag thread, a member stated he had gotten an offficial response from HTC, who have admitted there is an issue with lag and they are actively working on a solution.
It is also known there is the same problem on the Raphael...
Hopefully these drivers you've provided will help AlphaZero, I think every newer version of these drivers will bring us closer to a solution!
The problem the lag and the mediocre output of GPS, unfortunately emanate from the low force of signal and it is not given solution by no one dll.
If you need better GPS, bay another device.
Whoever wishes better results it will find the solution with a bluetooth GPS.
hey guys. Perhaps is your navigation software that is not optimized somehow for the diamond. I use destinator 7 and i have not lag at all even with the stock rom
Just a question to understand the problem:
How do you define "lag"? Is it an inappropriate time until the first fix, or is it a delay for the change of the current position when the phone is physically moved?
From what I read in these threads, there seem to be people with different understandings of a "GPS lag".
Have fun!
I wan´t also to know what is the GPS-Lag.
I can use my TomTom7 without any problems.
Please explain me the behavior so i can have a look for this, if i have the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411156
the behavior from Post 1 .... i don´t have this !
Under gps lag you understand the differnce between the shown location on the screen and your actual position.
Every gps device has this lag as the location information is only read once per second.
Many people here claim that the diamond has a greater lag than other devices.
So for example you stand still bevore a traffic light, than you start driving.
If you are unlucky you will have to wait 1 second until you see the position indicator in the gps software moving.
TDO
O.k ... i have a external GPS mouse from TomTom. I will if there any differences between internal GPS or external GPS
iGO 8 and my Diamond have not "lag"
I use IGO 8 and never have a lag...cold start to find satellite is less then 30sec. Even on my boat, on the river Danube or Sava, gps working very well, without lag. Working same, with HTC official, Duttys and SwiftBL ROM.

I've already tried that, and with my Holux GPSlim 236 there was no lag, TomTom was heaps more responsive (i.e. when u-turning and doing corners TomTom was following me perfectly) and even TomTom seemed to have more FPS...
The problem is to do with the internal GPS, maybe it is overloading the CPU. There was talk on a German site that the internal GPS sends to many data frames in 1 second, whereas external GPS sends less data... Some have speculated if that can be changed we may notice a difference... It's all just speculation though....
And then there is the issue of weak reception - that sounds to me like an antenna issue...

does exists a software specially for overclocking my P3300 CPU? I tried xscalar, or something like that, but it takes my device only on 196 mhz, starting from 133mhz (or this 133 is over my 200 mhz by default?)

Download BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta nightly build here. Every owner of P3300 has this installed. For more info... search this thread.
i've downloaded, and installed it. but my drain battery is very very very faster, in 5 minutes, drained 9%.
so what can i do?

Everytime I feel my Artemis needs an Overclocking - I give it a ROM straight up its slithery USB Hole !!!!
hee hee hee !
Look, just configure your ARTEMIS BatteryStatus,CpuScalar for 120, 201, 247 with this configuration your battery last for ever because when it doesnt need speed goes to the lowest speed, only if you are running aplication the overclock take action.
Hope it helps,

Thats cool, thanks!
If you can avoid it, don't overclock!
As stated earlier in this thread...
I've found that overclocking, even with scaling, seriously affects battery performance.
I was until today running Vanilla 2.0, which was ok until I added batterystatus, with either fixed or scale doverclocking - both of which drained the battery like crazy.
If battery status is an isuse, use a lean, clean rom and don't load up loads of stuff you don't need - then the device will perform faster... I've just switched back to the Dopod WM6 release, and unclocked it runs everyhting I need absolutely fine.
To me, overclocking is like the salad bar in Pizza Hut.... I ain't going near it!

lol, thats good! Fair point, I'll keep an eye on the battery life.
Perhaps changing the max speed to the standard speed, but keep the low idle speed set will improve power consumption?

I think you're probably better off just not installing stuff you don't need, and where posisble install to your SD card, keeping RAM as free as possible - that will give you a cleaner machine and reduce the need to be tempted to consider trying to overclock... make sure that you have low standby and backlight off settings when on battery use, and keep your device on charge overnight so you always have a devcent level of charge in the morning. If you need to, buy a desktop charger from ebay for a few quid, and stick your phone on it when you get home...

Thanks for the advice. The CPU clocking is being done with Battery Status, which is part of the ROM, so If power consumption continues to be a problem I'll disable the over-clocking function from the Battery Status Options.
As for charging I'm fine, I have an in-car charger and a 40 minute commute every morning/evening
Thanks again,
John
i've got a question about batterystatus, maybe some1 in this post knows the answer:
is there a way that batterystatus keeps the overclock setting while suspended? i would love to UNDERclock my cpu to 123mhz when suspended, so safe extra battery, but seems that everytime i suspend, BS sets it back to 201.
i tried the options, but i can't figure out if it's possible to over/under clock while suspended.
Have you tried the CPUScaler option? It's build in to version 1.04
For the original FAQ etc goto the BatteryStatus website. Or read more in this thread.
i haven't try it. i have artemis 2.2

Well, although I can't uninstall the battery bar I have disabled the over clocking! I sat yesterday and could almost watch the power drain in real time, even with the Max speed set to 201Mhz. I switched the function off and the battery is lasting a lot longer again.
Moral: Don't over-clock at all!

I've tried ALL the cooked ROMS here - I have a 'spare' device for testing...
I use my device for work emails, sat nav, personal mails, web browsing, music, and as my phone. I pair it up with a Sony Blootooth car stereo.
So... aside from a few games, what else do you need to do with your phone? I'd suggets that most of the stuff loaded onto some of the ROMS is completely superfluous and just clogs up the device - things like the touch cube are really tarty overheads. Over the past year, I have played with most stuff that's out there, free and paid, and have a pretty default set of standard stuff that I load onto a clean RM. I was using Vanilla 2.0, but that still ate battery, so when I read that the Dopod shipped WM6 ROm was fast and bare, I thought I'd give it a go, and I haven't looked back...
Here's what I have on it, all running from the Stoarage Card where possible:
CloseAll
Hibernate
Hbutton
TodayAgenda (enhanced Calendar on Today)
Sunnysoft Contacts (one fingered dialling in the car)
TotalCommander
TomTom 6
Coreplayer (gives far better bluetooth audio streaming, and plays videos)
iphone keypad (default one buttons too small in the car)
SamsungTime (big clock on Today, but doesn't have the weight of HTC)
With all of this, I get brilliant battery life and a more than adequate response time without any overclocking, and over 20mb useable ROM.
TangerineTractor,
Why have you choosen the Dopod WM6 rom?
After having that rom I switched to the official Europe WM6 rom. No big differences, but with Ms Office 2007 on board, now the Word and Excel files are fully compatible with my desktop PC. The only disadvantage was that I had to install AudioManager separatelly. (But, in fact, I rather use CorePlayer.) It's a stable and reasonable fast rom. Storage Memory is low but each prog is in Storage Card if applicable. And there is very low RAM leaking (after a day of usage it's still above 20 M -- and Spb Mobile Shell runs constantly!).
Have you tried the Europe ver.?

The Dopod WWE ROM from the Wiki link has Office Mobile on it, and to be honest, I hardly use that anyway... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??
Have anyone tried this app on Blackstone?
Some reports from other forums indicate much better performance after using this app.
SpeedBooster
Maybe we can find out what settings, if any, improves the performance.
I'm going to install now...
-----------------------------------
This my default benchmark before any altering.
onkolog Lite Rom
SanDisk 8Gb Class4
Tried to alter some settings, but so far only getting lower score on benchmark. Will continue to try though....
No video results.
When I tried to do the same as in the demovideo, I got lower benchmark ??
Count me in!
got the same results as the above (test done immediately after a soft reset).
played around with settings and benchmarked again. no matter what i did the results were worse than the original ones.
tried to restore the default ones with no success and had to restore from backup in order to have the best results i obtain with my original settings.
the only good thing:
-benchmark
addons:
-strip battery (very similar with the one found in the forum).
-"real close" button is overlaping the existing one.
-hack battery (make the battery last longer), not tested.
my conclusion: to uninstall it....fast..
Same Experience here.
I managed to get just slightly better benchmark.
The other tools I already had.
No point installing this.
I'm getting rid of it also.

sony xperia benchmark with SB 2.0.020.
cab here.
Guys, I think you're not using it correctly.
The benchmark measures the Hardware performance, but according to their website, you can't get more power out of nothing, the tool is to give more power to the apps you need, and take it from those you're not using that much.
Ex: when using GPS you don't care about other apps, you want the GPS to load faster.
Read more here.
For me it proves to be a useful tool, I'll test it more the next days.
Did it help?

Yepp, he (or she)'s right! And it does make a difference!
To find out for yourself, download the app and run it (it will run in demo mode, which is sufficient to see the difference in the following test). Open the processes screen, find the gwes.exe process and tap the minus button on the left until it has the lowest possible priority. Hit ok and open the windows 6.5 start menu: You will notice how scrolling through the menu is now REALLY slow and laggy! Go back into Speedbooster, enter the processes screen and now give gwes.exe the highest possible priority. Tap ok and again open the start menu: Now everything is really smooth!
So it can make a big difference! The big question is though: Which processes should have a high, which ones a low priority? Although that is simple to answer if you want to increase performance in CorePlayer or some other specific app, it's not easy to answer if you want to increase your overall performance...
EDIT: I'm going to benchmark Coreplayer with Speedbooster active and inactive to find out, how big the difference is... I'll post the results here later!
Here are the results:
I used this file (Matrix trailer): http://shintak.info/ppc/download/betaplayer/sample/RL_XQ_640x480_1500_128.avi
Results with Speedbooster inactive: 89,84 %
Results with Speedbooster active: 92,23 %
So there was a slight increase... but it's not much!
of course it does its job. its not an overclock application, but since windows mobile does not include a priority adjust application, this is so useful. for example, adjust manila.exe to high priority and open some background job. manila freezes without this app, but its so smooth with it (of course, while the background job done slower). but this is useful for web browsing and navigation applications, since they really suck sometimes (they get slow much even if u get a simple sms).
ps: i dont know how it affects battery but, it made my blackstone just like iphone with a proper config.

is there any possibility to use for example only 650mhz?
It seems to help to disable radio (only Phone OFF) and plug the phone into the A/C charger.
This is a very early test version ....most users at HTC Diamond an Xperia confirmed that it works.
More tweak options ...lower/higher CPU speeds will follow, like i said this is a very early beta but it seems promising. For now it is only 768MHz .
Hi, work me it "works".
You have to disable all plugins on today (touch flo, titanium) and then it works.
In SK tools integer benchmark I get 485 points, 331 on standard frequency, which is I mean huge difference. But solitaire works for 5sec, then freezes. Igo 8 loads to main screen and then freeze....

I'm using a cooked rom with windows mobile 6.5. Windows now works a lot better, not as choppy as before, photos are loading a lot faster and I get about 5-15fps more on the psx emulator. Overall it works great, but keep in mind it's not really stable. It freezes with ease.
And I had to disable my Phone on comm manager (the option between fly mode and bluetooth) if I don't it freezes. But once you run the overclock you can turn it on again and it works perfect.
Hey sorry duplicate post, don't know how to delete it :-|
how long have you been running it for? And have you noticed any increased heating? I expect that there will be...i'm just slightly worried that extended use will kill the Blackstone =/

I have tried multiple 6.5 ROMs including multiple EnergyROMs and even the official HTC 6.5 ROM and they all have the same problem. Very high memory usage. It just keeps climbing. After one day of pretty normal application usage, I'm at only 40MB free. And having Windows Mobile close things when there is still 20MB free doesn't help either.
gwes.exe starts at below 15MB but blows up to 30MB. What is taking those 15MB? Nothing extra is running then after a soft reset.
Is every 6.5 ROM like this?
Also can I change the limit to when Windows Mobile starts closing programs? It seems that it is set to a percent not a fixed amount of megabytes.

I should start by saying that I'm no expert, but this is my experience:
I think that some ROMs have better memory usage than others...but this definitely is a commonly-reported problem with lots/most ROMs.
With the current ROM I'm running the memory stays high (>70%) even after a Level-3 clean with cleanRAM -- only a soft-reset releases it.
I've been running WM6.5.1+ ROMs for the past few weeks, mostly Sense 2.5 versions...and I don't remember if milder ROMs are better. I have Activesync (and data) constantly on/connected to my Exchange Server, so maybe that makes it worse -- don't know.
I guess I'm just assuming/hoping that later/more-refined builds will have better memory-management...until then I just put up with it...and soft-reset when I feel like it.
Does anyone know what specifically causes this? I tried pretty much the same EnergyROM on both my Rhodium and Raphael (when I had it) and the Raphael didn't have any of the memory problems the Rhodium has. Same OS version.
Edit: Found this on ppcgeeks, going to try it out.

ResProxy is HTC's method of "Pre-Caching" your applications on the phone, therefore loading times are faster when opening, etc. It just allocates a chunk of your memory for this feature. Problem is, after about a day of not soft-resetting your phone, your idling at 90% or so.
Changing it to 0 will set this as DYNAMIC. So instead of a bunch of pre-set apps being precached IMMEDIATELY, it does it dynamically. It will only raise the memory for the apps that you are currently using, etc.
Keep in mind, changing this REG does not affect speed in terms of opening applications,etc. Performance stays identical.
You will not notice IMMEDIATELY that this tweak has worked. You will notice later in the way when you notice your device won't idle higher than 65-70% usage anymore, and won't even get as high as 90% unless your running mad software on it lol.
Enjoy!

It makes a huge difference in RAM available when the phone first boots, yet things like the album and calculator are still launching instantly. What useless stuff does this thing do?

Does anyone know what specifically causes this? I tried pretty much the same EnergyROM on both my Rhodium and Raphael (when I had it) and the Raphael didn't have any of the memory problems the Rhodium has. Same OS version.
Edit: Found this on ppcgeeks, going to try it out.

I have tried multiple 6.5 ROMs including multiple EnergyROMs and even the official HTC 6.5 ROM and they all have the same problem. Very high memory usage. It just keeps climbing. After one day of pretty normal application usage, I'm at only 40MB free. And having Windows Mobile close things when there is still 20MB free doesn't help either.
gwes.exe starts at below 15MB but blows up to 30MB. What is taking those 15MB? Nothing extra is running then after a soft reset.
Is every 6.5 ROM like this?
Also can I change the limit to when Windows Mobile starts closing programs? It seems that it is set to a percent not a fixed amount of megabytes.

Flash a ROM that cares about your memory.
Disabling push internet and resproxy helps in stock rom, but the memory usage will be still high.
MCbrian said:
I should start by saying that I'm no expert, but this is my experience:
I think that some ROMs have better memory usage than others...but this definitely is a commonly-reported problem with lots/most ROMs.
With the current ROM I'm running the memory stays high (>70%) even after a Level-3 clean with cleanRAM -- only a soft-reset releases it.
I've been running WM6.5.1+ ROMs for the past few weeks, mostly Sense 2.5 versions...and I don't remember if milder ROMs are better. I have Activesync (and data) constantly on/connected to my Exchange Server, so maybe that makes it worse -- don't know.
I guess I'm just assuming/hoping that later/more-refined builds will have better memory-management...until then I just put up with it...and soft-reset when I feel like it.

In my opinion the WM6.5.x branch uses less memory comparing to WM6.5 branch. However, this is nothing comparing to what a chef is able to manage.

Turn off the WM6.5 lockscreen, it uses a lot of memory as gwes.exe. I may provide you a cab if you wish.

Yes, of course. It's WM, not an iPhone. Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637771

could you please explain how to turn off wm6.5 lockscreen ?
and also what is gwes.exe what is it for & can it be turned off as well ?
If you are still using Energy ROM, using one of the Start Menu replacement options yields big RAM savings. But aside from that, Energy is not "lightweight" in the RAM department. As Jackos suggested, you might try other ROMs.

gwes.exe controls all the window elements. Basically, it is the GUI.

No offense, but if you don't recognize those as registry keys and values, you're not ready to be messing with this stuff.

Try this cab.
The gwes.exe cannot be turned off, just like Miami_Son wrote, it's managing the whole GUI.

True. My suggestion for him is to choose a custom rom.

Just a simple cab that disables the lockscreen in registry. Changes only one registry key.

Heads up! New Kaiser Wifi update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6456191&postcount=33
Old one replaced build.prop with wrong version. Reinstall and use the new Wifi update.
Also to get rid of android-rebooting-problems with GPS Test application do the following:
1. Start terminal emulator
2. su
3. cd system/lib/hw
4. rwsystem
5. rm sensors.msm7k.so
6. rosystem
7. exit
8. exit
9. restart phone
So how is it? I'm too lazy to install it.

Seems like a really nice build. I'm using 320x428 with 144 dpi. A bit slow because I'm currently not running in NAND but I would expect it to perform quite well once I go back to running NAND again.
I haven't tested it very much yet as I'm doing some experiments in WinMO at the moment.
just tried
hey
i just downloaded this and i have to say im impressed about this.
as i love the eclair design and everything and the donut speed i have to say this is impressing because it is FAST! not as fast as donut but pretty much the same. that could be due to the 500 mHz OC but i just like that build.
just needs to be optimized a bit, maybe a few apps like astro and others
and as the developer has a new phone we need a new one.
But i have to say its awesome!
i love it already and just tried it for 9 min.
just the OC needs to be removed i noticed right now and is there any way to set another value for the screen sensebility because quiet often it does not react on a touch.
so keep updating this!

nice rom but it chews through battery like crazy. With a full charge battery will drop from 99 to 75(battery fix removed OC and set 1400 value) with just a 10min phone call and a couple txts. I think what we need is a new kernel highly optimized for battery life using the latest patches. Judging from the name alone of the kernel its running right now 2.6.25-01051-gc362ac-dirty and the fact that 2.6.25 was released in jul 2008 i think theres room for tons for improvement.
Does anyone know how to adjust the microphone gain? my friends complain they cant hear me..
The wifi scan interval is set to 15 seconds by default in this release. That will have a negative effect on battery life if you are out of range of a known network and have wifi enabled. I'll put together an update to change this when time allows. I use 120 seconds myself.

Thanks to update.
It working good on Polaris.
Also i change interval to 180 and density to 120 in .prop
Here's an update that changes the wifi scan delay to 120 seconds and also (not tested yet) changes the model name from Vogue to Kaiser.
i'm still trying to figure out if it's possible, somehow, to flash an update.zip file (to be able to use the cyanogenmod skins) with the nomorootfs we're using, instead of converting the skins to metamorph format
does anyone know if it's possible or how to do it?
Can't get wifi to work with updates, which one should I need?
kallt_kaffe's works for me. If something isn't working like it should, power off the phone and remove the battery. Then hold down the power button to remove any remaining power left. Place batter back in and try again.
Also, make sure to always fix permissions when you apply updates, even for wifi.

edit: how stupid can I be? I've bought another phone and forgot to add the mac adress.
Certainly think mod needs work. So far the battery meter is off, and all this time I thought it drained less power. A lot of pop ups to force close apps. A lot of apps are running that I don't use.
mssmison didn't say he was going to put any more effort into it either. Hopefully, someone will pick it up.

Try deleting /data/system/batterystats.bin. That usually helps when the batterymeter has gone bad.

Have you removed or renamed /lib/modules/hw/sensors.msm7k.so? After I removed that it runs very stable for me.
kallt_kaffe how do you do it?
I'm new to the androidinstall.tar method. I'm tyring to run from haret but it seems impossible.
You said you where experimenting with something in winmo, so that implies you're using haret? Are you running from haret?
When I try, Polymod, and Mssmission they don't show an install option, when I try myn and incubus I get it installed but I get no sound. It was actually your gps kernel that let me get things installed all other kernels i tried had non-functional dpads within the installer environment. Also, trying another kernel once installed didn't fix the sound issue.
Anyhow just let me know if you're using Haret. I wonder whats up with the sound and missing install option. I tried the install two different ways one with a 2gb fat32 partition, and then another attempt using three primary partitions 1.3gb fat32, 300mb ext, 300mb ext. All installers then would give me options beside's fat, but not all intallers would have an install option.. I'm using radio 1.71.09.01.eMo, model: kais100, os: wm6.5 (shifu v.3)

I try start Skyforce game, but it forceclose.
It can work after i added "sensors.sapphire.so" into /lib/modules/hw/
I've installed the cyanogenMod updater from the marketplace, but it can only find older versions, no experimental versions, whatever option I set in the program.Anyone?

battery life has been fantastic for me on this build...
although I reverted back to 400mhz and got rid of compcache.
I am sure that OCing to 500 by default is draining the battery faster.
I would rather a usable phone than a fast one...(although it still seems very fast to me)
