Found this over on the T-Mobile Site.
I Take No Credit .. But I will Say Amazingly Enough It Does Seem To Work!
I did find that this settings he suggest seems to use less mem and does seem to run 10-20% faster.
I am not sure why .. but its seems that it does .. hope the settings do not have a adverse effect.
Only time will tell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may have noticed several issues after upgrading to the new T-mobile 6.5. ie... slow response, freezing, crashing, poor battery life, increased memory consumption.
I have made a few adjustments and no longer have any of these issues.
In fact for the last couple of days 6.5 is running better (faster) and the battery is lasting longer than before I did the upgrade.
I am not a trained professional. I do not work for Tmobile, HTC or Microsoft. Follow my advice at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage done to your handset. I suggest you check you memory usage now then again after all steps are completed. Mine went from the 70's - 80's to the 50's
Ok here it is:
1. Make sure you used the official upgrade released on 1/20/10. ( I used the leaked version first then the official release and I did find some differences) Please back up your Phone first!!
2. Download NETCFSetupv35
2a. Sync your phone to your computer
2b. Run NETCFSetupv35 on your computer. If given the option choose repair. Otherwise just install it and follow the prompts.
2c. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone.
3. Download Advanced Configuration Tool
3a. Transfer it from your computer to your sd card.
3b. On your phone use file explorer and navigate to your sd card.
3c. Find the file and double click it
3d. choose install to sd card.
3e. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone again.
4. From the start menu choose advanced config.
4a. You will see a warning screen first. Move past it.
4b Press the + next to Power Management
4c. The first 7 options need to be enabled. ( SD memory, MMC memory, NAND memory,Sim memory,Async, PPTP, L2TP)
4d. One at a time select the item then at the bottom of the screen select enable. (via the drop down menu)
5. Select Done (Bottom left)
6. You will be given the option to restart. Select yes.
7. Enjoy your phone!!
* Advanced configuration Tool can be used to tweak many settings.
I dont suggest you change anything under performance.
I did and the system became unstable again. Changed them back and everything is fine.

This could be the answer to the problem that im having with my batter life... Check out my thread...

Has anyone else tried this??? Can it be verified to work?
Why install advanced config tool to the SD card?
Well .. I did not do that .. had it installed already :/
Still seemed to work ..

I would think it wouldn't matter where ACT was installed, that's why I thought that line was sort of odd. I didn't know if there was some advantage I didn't know about for installing it to SD.
Since it's a program you just run once and forget maybe he wants to keep his phone memory free? I dunno. Just thought that line was odd. I'll be trying it out myself here in a minute

It seems to be running pretty smooth right now but I just soft reset of course. No hickups using the slider, opening mail, or playing with the Album. Memory usage started in the upper 40's and is hovering at 52% right now. I'll give an update later after using through the day.
Since I already had CF3.5 and Advanced Config on my 6.1 (stock) rom, I went ahead and made the same changes listed above, just to see if it had any effect. It's booted up using a little less RAM than before (38% vs 45%...I'd long ago applied the 2 memory management cabs for the TP2)...and it seems to grow a lot slower too; I've got file explorer, IE, WMP, google maps, and windows marketplace all open and running now, and it's still only up to 51% used.
So, bottom line, it might be worth it for anyone still running 6.1 to give this a try as well...you know, assuming that I'm not the only one left here that isn't on 6.5 yet
Update- while closing all the apps I listed above one-by-one, I watched closely and it seemed that the memory is not only reclaimed much faster than before, but it seems like it's (slightly) larger quantities too.

I think so, but it's kinda hard to tell...Opera and Google Maps both seem to snap open a good bit quicker than before, and button-response etc is as quick as ever, if not quicker.
If you want to suggest a stress test (certain apps/conditions), I'll be happy to give it a shot and report back
After about what... 8-9 hours after my soft reset. With my phone I:
-Received 10 emails
-used Opera Mobile to check the Woot Off 6-7 times
-Looked at another 6 web pages for probably about half an hour of browsing
-Used Google Maps and latitute with GPS
-Beejive IM was on for about 2 hours conversing with 2 different people
-15 minutes of phone calls.
Memory is now at 62%. I'd say I'm ususally normally in the 70's and have probably soft reset at least once by now. I don't know if it's *faster* per sey but it seems to hesitate less now. I've gotta give a big thumbs up to this so far. Definitely uses less memory and less battery so far. My battery just ticked down to 50% and I'm normally in the 30-40's by now.
Anyone who's done this:
Were these power settings all disabled (according to Advanced Config) before you enabled them?
Maybe these settings are only an issue on stock roms. I'm running a custom (Valky) rom, and all of these -- except SD card -- already had Power Management enabled for them. Must be a free service included with custom roms...good ones, anyway

This morning, I compared the md5sum of the leaked and official versions and they are identical. Either you downloaded a different leaked version that I did or you are imagining those differences.

stock touch pro2 6.5 rom here. I've used the no push internet and 0 sharememsize resproxy thing and i can say that this tweak doesn't do much.
The ram at startup constantly stays at 43% after reboot and there doesnt seems to be any significant benefit on the performance. Dont know about the battery though, will playbaround with it and report back.
Stock 6.5 t-mobile rom .. all were disabled for me too.
However In My case .. seemed to make a good inprovment

Thanks for the feedback.
I've never used advanced Config besides instances like this where someone says "Change this setting to xxx".
I guess it's time to go through all of the config options to see if there are others that are listed as "reccomended"

Have you used these settings-tweaks tools? Both highly recommended.
"Rhodium Settings Tool"
"HD Tweak"
Rhodium Settings is probably better/easier overall...but HD Tweak does a few fixes that Rhodium doesn't.
any change list??

when any rom just install it did not need lagfix, but later yes
It seems much better than JPH (which was unusually bad) - quite close to the performance I was getting with JP4, but slightly better.
I haven't applied any lag fix yet as it doesn't really seem necessary on these ROMS, but I'm going to give that a go later.
One word of warning though, JPH, JP4 and now JPK all hate corruption in user databases. If you're getting FCs / massive delays at startup, this is what will be causing it.

I wanted to uninstall the crappy Voice Dialer App. Because it is absolutely bad if i use my Helmet Headset on Bike and my BT Handsfree.
Voice Dialer starts and recognize NOTHING right. Even if i try to speek english.
In comparison. Voice Dialler on my Blackberry Bold 9700 works absolutely great and recognize also if i speek German. And it tells me who he dial before he do it.
Voice Dialler on Galaxy calls any Number (and in nearly 100% of trys the wrong) without any comment.
And.
Once again.
Since the first releases of Froy Samsung has broken the connection between Google Sync and third Party Apps. Specially Calendar Apps.
So also in this release.
All Tasks that are created with third Party Apps (Jorte, TouchCl .... ) Appears in Calendar on Device and ar dedicated to the right Google Calendar on Device. But not synced with Google.
After open, editing or new saving with Stock Calendar it will be synced.
This belongs to ALL Cal Apps i have tested!!!!!!!!
Absolutely bad (for me)

To keep this post useful try to specify ALWAYS what you flashed (odin version, pit verison, etc) and how you rooted the phone.
Moreover, report if you installed any other app, or had to restore nv_data, or made any other modification to stock system.
Lagfix is an absolute MUST. Anyone with more than 50 apps will need one sooner rather than later. Don't believe any clowns telling you otherwise. RFS is here to stay and RFS is nowhere near as good as ext4. The sooner Voodoo can get ported to Froyo the better!
Product code changed and the backup of the nv_data.bin is crap. Restoring it resulted in a corrupt imei! Needless to say I have multiple offline copies of the EFS files for this....
GPS is complete and total crap. While it does lock to many satellites and it does lock quickly it seems to have this nasty feature where it just 'assumes' where you are going to the point where if you stop abruptly it keeps on going. I also misses sharp turns etc. While you are going in a straight line it is almost spot on but I assume it outright 'lies' about the position in an effort to hide the lag. How else could one explain the other symptoms?
Generally JPK is usable but still very beta in a few places. I sure hope GPS goes back to what it is in JM8. I ran a few tracks with JM8 and it is almost always spot on and without any errors.
For those that have the issue: to edit things in /system it must be remounted rw......

Yes...I honestly dont like 4.2 at all. Kinda sux really. I dont like the quicksettings and I think the lockscreen is a step backwards...if I wanted lockscreen widgets Id buy widgetlocker.
Im still using 4.1.2 because of the sdcard crap that is going on with 4.2. I have no idea why google named the sdcard 0. Thats pretty stupid when it comes to compatibility and upgrading software. Something so simple causes so much probs. Ive had all my current sdcard stuff moved to /data/media...which it cannot be read from there (ie like gallery, etc). So...I manually move it back to sdcard...and it ruins all my pictures..0 byte jpgs...gray images...thanks google.
That and I couldnt tell you how many duplicate places there is for the sdcard. /storage/emulated0..../storage/legacy.../sdcard/0.../data/media...and having duplicate gobledy gook everywhere.
So...Im with you on the lockscreen...but not just that...its much worse.
edit: while Im at it I may as well just gripe about the kernels lately. All of them have jacked up wifi for me. I have no idea why...my wifi stalls all the time since the 3.0.49 branch. No dev has worked them out yet. I get dropped connections all the time....I get stalls (which I have blue connectivity (full bars)...and pages wont load...its just kinda stuck there in lingo with the incoming/outgoing arrows toggling back and forth....then sometimes it will load after 30 seconds...sometimes a minute or more. Ive had to disconnect wifi...turn it back on. Ive tried every kernel...every new release...everything from tons of different devs...they all do it. The only one that doesnt do it is tiny's. But...tiny kernel doesnt multitask for me well. I get major lag backing out of apps...if I have mulitiple processes going on...its stalling too (UI at least). Honestly its gotten so annoying that It makes me want to throw my phone against the wall.

Yeah, they just didn't speed anything up for me. It was like when Microsoft puts yet another meaningless dialog between you and the setting you want to change.
The lock screen is baffling. The whole point of a lock screen is to lock the phone. Not provide another launcher. That, and it just behaves strangely.

actually i DID have an issue. I didnt wipe specific files with my old recovery. I did like I always do...wiped cache...factory reset..format system...flash new rom. 4.2 MOVES your current sdcard contents to /data/media on the rom I flashed....and not only did it move them there...it "blanked" them. All of my apks were not parsed properly...and all my jpgs were 0 byte files that were empty. Nandroid restore did not restore my pictures because it doesnt effect /data/media.....which is where the 4.2 flash moved my stuff in the first place. It turned my pics in to 0 byte files which were all still present...only they were empty files. Restore didnt fix it...twrp latest. Moving them back to /sdcard didnt fix it either.

I like it but opening the camera is kinda laggy and too slow for me. And also the messaging widget should be able to send the texts straight from the lockscreen instead of going into the messaging app first! But the idea of widgets on lock screen is pretty cool!

Is this not caused by using a recovery not designed for 4.2? I thought the new recovery's fixed the issues.

You've hit on the exact reason why the new lock screen is an improvement. Apparently you don't use any security on your lockscreen, but for those who do there was no way to get to your camera before. The new lockscreen may not be perfect, but it's a huge improvement.
Yep and I made a poll about this. Most people want to be able to disable it natively.

I never said it was recovery related. I'm stating what happened when I went to 4.2. How could you prove anything or what caused it. You weren't there. You haven't seen any data or logs. Yet you state your opinion as fact.
I'm stating my opinion of 4.2.+ is don't like the new features... at least not all. Multiple users is cool. Lock screen and quick settings sucks. I'm entitled to my opinion just as others who like it.
Anyone remember one of the original reasons for "locking" phones? To prevent accidental activation. This new lock screen bypass really opens up a hole there. It's not improbable that someone can start the camera and burn down their battery really fast.

I think the original reason was to prevent butt dialing. Nowadays with so much personal information on phones security is a major reason too. Accidentally running down the battery in the rare situation where your junk accidentally slides open the camera is not a serious concern in my book.

That's why there's new forms to lock your phone(pin, passwords, etc). You still can't get into the phone if you have it pin/password protected.
For the haters of the new lockscreen-
To clarify a bit with an example: I have my phone pin protected with the messaging widget. I can still see the texts I have in the messaging widget, but when I click to view one, it asks for my pin. Now, if I go to the camera app, if I swipe towards the right, I get a lock icon. If I click on Home, I get asked for my pin.
Now, what's the issue? Aside from just not liking a different implementation.
As for swiping up to get to Now, you still do that. The anchor is just a bit lower now.

But you can activate the phone. And you can bypass security.
Okay, there are two reasons to have a locking mechanism:
1) accidental activation
2) security
The rationale for #1 was largely "butt dialing". Today, instead of burning cell minutes and battery now you can just find yourself with a flat battery. You can now activate the phone without entering in a proper lock code. You can't bypass the security aspect of it but you can now burn down your battery rapidly by accidentally turning on the camera.
The rationale for #2 is to keep prying eyes away from your device and/or attempt to stop someone else from putting cell charges on your bill. But you can put widgets on the screen that display MMS and email.
It's like having two layers of locking. That in itself isn't terrible but what kills the idea is #1 above.

That you have no control about what information is exposed if you put the widgets on the lockscreen. What if someone emails/messages you a password of a kind or something and its visible in the list ? Lets hope Google polishes it for next major release.

I"ll keep it short, if you guys have more tips to improve on this please share.
I have been testing this for days on my wife stock v30 and mine. Both started the same with all bloware.
After doing this I actually get
-Better battery
-Less battery drain in standby
-Faster performance
-and MUCH SMOOTHER SCROLLING
It seems to be a few LG apps running in the backgroung that are causing the stutter and lag we have all experience,
some more than others.
Before doing this, go into different apps check speed and scrolling (Instagram, google home, gmail etc) so u can see the before and after.
READ THIS BEFORE DOING:
-LG KEYBOARD IS DISABLE, download a different keyboard (swipe, gboard) and have that already install in your device, if you already have then disregard this
-Also downloaded a different launcher if u are going to disable the stock launcher. I recommend using a different launcher other than the LG.
Let start.
1: Go into play store and download "LG package disabler"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lgpd.pmanager
I believe is $1.99 but well worth it for what u can actually do
The LG PACKAGE DISABLE is suppost to AUTOMATICALLY download thr plugin needed to have administrator right so u can disable apps. if it doesnt after installation. download it here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.weblib.mdm
2: BELOW I have attach pics of all apps i have disable. disable all or just the apps u which to disable.
NOTE: I disable Chrome (using Samsung internet beta) which support ad blocker (highly recommended) you can enable chrome in LG PD
3: go to developer option and enable "force gpu rendering"
after all this, Restart your phone. It should be faster and smoother.
Theres a few things you might want ENABLE (like the floating bar) which I have disable since I don't use it.
I did not include the 0.5X animation trick since I like my animation to be at 1.0X (personal choice)

I was getting almost 5hrs of screen on time before, I'm curious how much of an impact disabling all these packages will have.

How do you import the XML into the app?

save the xml. in ur device. open LG PD. on upper right hand conner u will see 3 dots. when u press that you'll see different options including "import from xml". choose that and select file.
So far so good, just had to re enable a few things that I use but its a lot snappier. Thanks.
i did this as well but now i cant seem to re-enable anything. I uncheck the box and it rechecks it. I imported the xml file

Turns out uninstalling both apps and reinstalling them fixed it. Definitely noticably faster

even if u delete the app and reboot?
I have around 20 apps disabled this way myself, and regularly get over 7 hours SOT. That includes spending 8 hours in poor signal areas and using WiFi Calling.

Right. Once rebooted it didn't work so removed and readded apps. Probably just my lucky day

V30 is great for battery life even with no app disable. This is more about making the snappier. i do get 7 - 8 plus sot on every charge.
I've done this on other phones, so I know how, but when I import and set, the apps don't get disabled. I have to go through manually. Any idea why?
I've been using this since this morning including the XML file. Seems to be working great although I haven't been paying enough attention to know whether or not battery life has improved. At the very least it's worth it to know that I can get rid of all of the bloatware.

Exactly. Just have to be careful that you don't disable too much. You can accidentally disable things that seem like bloat, but somewhere deep in the system settings, another app/feature could be looking for it. I played that game for weeks getting the debloat of my V20 ROMs just right.
the app doesn't work for me for some reason. I run it, import the xml file, it says "107 packages disabled" or something like that, then reboot my phone, and check how many packages are disabled, and it says only 3. Whenever I import the xml file I never see it actually put a checkmark next to any packages to disable.
Any ideas what's going on? I've already uninstalled/reinstalled and it does the same thing. Do I manually need to give the app certain permissions?

I now went through the steps to make the app an owner app from adb, and I successfully was able to run the command (removed all my accounts, ran the command, re-added my accounts). Still, nothing actually disables.
OK, just tried this with Package Disabler (not the LG specific one) and it bricked my phone. I'm now stuck on the white T-Mobile screen and the phone won't load. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Who can rut tests on just freshly unboxed V30? So we could measure if we can get it faster

You are not bricked. Not from disabling packages. You will have to factory reset to get back up and running,
I sent my phone for exchange so I have to use my siblings phone for now. How can I stay invisible? Not only do I want to lock my apps/files, but I want to hide them so they cannot be found unlees by me. What I mean is:
Hide my apps from Home AND Settings so that they can never be found
Clear/Pause Wifi and Data Usage (Android also keeps logs of which apps used how much data/wifi, so I also want to clear that as well)
I have some documents which I also would like to hide so that they can hardly be found even using "My Files" (Especially recent files because you can see the files you recently modified)
And any other invisibility features you can suggest...
Thanks in advance (s22)
The most reliable way be to factory reset the phone when done. I never share phones.
If you wanna hide files the secure folder might work for you.
