History.txt file size on WM5 devices

Hi,
I posted this on the Universal forum - but since no responses I wondered if other WM5 devices have it?
Has anyone noticed the History.txt in the root directory grows in size over time - mine is now 140k?
You cant delete it, but copying it and opening it shows information mainly about power status i.e on and off etc.
Can we get rid of it or has anyone found a way to reset the size to 0k?
Thanks
Matt

Anyone?

I do not have that file in my unit's root dir, nor in the \Windows\ dir.
I guess it may be it is one of your program that you've installed. I'm suspecting some program running at background that logs your battery or some of the plugins that you are using on your Today screen. Try disable all of your plugins on your Today screen and deleting the file.

I have it also on my XDA Exec but i think its due to the older RUU... still some debug output left from HTC stuff.

If it helps my ROM info is:
Op: 7.113.1.130
Rom: 1.13.49
Rom Date: 09/20/05
Rad: 1.03
Extrom: 1.13.130
....my device is working fine and dont want to upgrade - do you think there might be a registry key to disable?
Thanks
Matt

I will upgrade to an AKU 2.3 based RUU soon i need more speed and a better Radio reception...Will let you know if its still there... funny you mention that the oldest RUU for this device is fine for you...it looked very slow to me
Don't think that there is an key for it HTC makes terrible job when programming (and i guess its all in the code)
Cheers,

Midget v0.1 Vanilla Crossbow Rom (Based on Helmi's Unreleased Rom)

Unknown to me, the 'clean' source i was given to make this ROM was actually heavily customized already to fix some major bugs and flaws by Helmi_C. He deserves the main credit for this ROM, but i will continue to keep it up to date - no hard feelings?
Hi, as you may know I've been here (xda-developers) for quite a while, In this time i have been learning the art form that is rom building, my teachers (at least i think of it like that include maimach (How can he be human?), Tuatara (God of all things WM5 on BA), Lt.Cmdr.Ivan, Helmi_c and many others (thanks everyone, sorry if i didnt mention you)
Finally in December 2006 i had a chance to use this knowledge i have gathered when i acquired a pre-release version of WM6 from a good friend (you know who you are ) Since then i've spent days tweaking and fixing bugs in this rom, i wanted to wait until it was perfect to release, but due to recent event s i think now would be the best time, so i present you with My first ROM for Universal and my First Crossbow rom...
Current State of things:
Bugs:
Video Calling doesn't work (im working on this - thanks bepe)
In REALvga mode (addon cab) if you have owner information or password set to display on boot then you will hang your device, hard reset needed. im stuck as to what is causing this, anyone got any ideas?
Occasionally after flashing the phone will reset into bootloader - not load OS. a quick "set 14 0" in mtty fixes this (again anyone got any ideas?)
Features:
Version 5.2.318 (Build 15341.0.0.0)
Most Stable Crossbow rom for universal (verified by two beta testers who have tried them all)
Free Storage 40mb
Free RAM 30mb
Cache Tweaks for Performance
New Comm Manager hacked for speed and look (WM6 Background)
No Bloat
Coming soon:
Video Call Drivers
AKU 0.1
Well i've rambled on too long here ill give you the links
Rapidshare.com:

Tweaks and hacks:
Includes: Oxios Close apps (great tool) and map to backlight button. (ability to change backlight button also)
A collection of IE tweaks for faster and more stable surfing

BRAVO mate BRAVO
my 1st universal Rom upgrade and I am really happy with this one
Mainly because of the
MASSIVE 30 mb RAm
Cheers

anyone tried tomtom with it?
i wana try this tonight but cant find my god damn usb lead!

Tom Tom works great (both vga modes)

hello there midget... I thought u said that u hv 40mb ram?? U make me busy with ur statement there my friend...lol...
so basicly its a modify to vanila version and added vga functionality? well, if u dont mine send me ur default.hv let me see what difference that u make my friend...

I found one more problem. I tried to use oZVGA mode in this release and most of the icons disappeared. The taskbar became blank.. i couldnt see the start button. oZVGA doesnt work with this release of crossbow it seems.
Please try to fix that Midget.
Thanks Awesome release.

Thanx Midget

I said 40?! that would be nice lol, must have been a typo
bear in mind that some of the tweaks are separate in the cab file i linked to.
try the comm manager too, its MUCH faster

reshacker to change the interface (new background, the buttons are still in the making - each button has 5 part so it takes time) to make it fit in with wm6 and upx

Why do I only get 26 of free mem?

Extended Rom is seen as a drive and Outlook use it to store mail attachment (impossible to change the storage used) For other office program you can use SD CARD.
And it's impossible to hide Extended Rom
So I use an empty extended Rom

I'm having issues to flash this rom.
When I click "Upgrade" button, my uni reboot, and i can't upgrade it.

symbol no more works

poussin69: if im not mistaken i set extrom to install from /storage card/extrom (sorry i forgot to mention that) i've only recently got my uni so i though /storage for attachments was normal, ill look into changing it for you
Also what is symbol?
ZeD:
1) are you connected via a hub? this is bad.
2) try putting in bootloader mode first
3) did you included RUU.conf?
4) no idea sorry

you have a sym.txt file in windows directory so, when you type
a and use the "sym key" you will switch to à
e to é è ê .....
it was working with WM5
(I change the keyboard country to french as usual (azerty keyboard))

I have tried to put into bootloader first, but I cant upgrade. I included the RUU.conf.
I'm not using a usb hub also.
Maybie a old bootloader version?

Ok, I got it.
Flashing the rom now.
After i get the version of the rom on the upgrader I put the device on bootloader and press "Upgrade".

Overclock Vox the easier way using Vox-OC

I have written a small program Vox-OC to assist with overclocking Vox using Tornado Power Control(TPC).
No more playing around with the shortcut(.lnk) files required to change the speed. This application will allow you to easily change the speed by selecting the speed from the application. All the three states of TPC (Power_On, Power_Backlightoff, Power_UserIdle) can be tweaked using this application.
This program also includes Load.exe to start TPC in hidden state, it will be placed in the "\Program Files\" directory.
In addition you can now easily add or remove TPC from the startup using this application. This application depends on TPC so make sure that you have it installed on your device memory (not in storage card).
Installation :
1. Install TPC on device memory. ( View attachment TornadoPowerControl14.cab )
2. Install Vox OC on device memory. ( View attachment 69878 )
3. Done
Now start Vox-OC from start menu and adjust the speed
This application will work on all devices where TPC works.
I have tested only on VOX because thats the only device I have.
People with other devices, Do let me know if it works fine on your device.
p.s.
On uninstalling this will remove load.exe from "\Program Files\" directory, so if you want to keep using TPC without Vox-OC make sure you backup Load.exe.
edit:
program updated.
thanks to ljesh, who found the problem.
I had forgotten that TPC puts empty links on installation.
download the updated program and reinstall

Cool, I'll have to test this out on my Verizon SMT5800 CDMA Vox when it gets here hopefully next week.

Vox-OC faced an error.
Application will quit now.

thats because you don't have Tornado Power Control installed to the device memory, it must be in the device memory and not in the storage card.
Uninstall TPC and Vox-OC and install(first TPC then Vox-OC) again, taking care to install to the device.

Re-did that (although even the first time i installed them correctly), same problem.
It simply doesn't work on my Vox
And nobody (yet) didn't say that it does work but the author of this topic, so we can see it like that is not my problem only. At least for now

The application has been fixed. There was a small error which I had missed. Its working now.
Thanks to ljesh

works like an oiled up volvo! (great haha)
Thanks man!
What is safe speed? im running 240 without the horitional blur.
252 and 264 runs good but the blur appears (is it dangerous?), on my tornado i ran 264 and saw no blur (didint look for it either so i really dont know) it crashed at 272.

i run my vox at 228, yeah its slow at that speed but I prefer that over the blur thing at 240 and above.

Now it works. Perfect

nice to know that it worked for you

Hi Prajith,
Better to use TPC 2.0 Beta 4 else you can not use Tornado Low light
i have tested it also, working fine. Low light does not work with TPC version you provided.
Also Load.exe if runs in startup can never hide TPC but keep it showing in task manager.
If you can fix it, it would good.

I could not figure a way to hide it from the task manager

hi buddy thnx for the program nice work,it helped me overclocking my vox but there are issues which i wanna ask about
1.the tornado doesnt hide when put to boot,and it only shows maximum speed of 228 but when i selected 240 or 252 from the vox-oc and rebooted the phone after it tornado showed 228 onlky but tcpmp showed 240mhz processor
do we have to keep vox-oc application running or we can exit after setting the speed
i have noticed increase in performance thnx to u but if one wants to increase than 228 wht can he do??
and at 228 mhz setting it tcpmp showed 220mhz ??
which application can i use to get exact information abt the speed of processor at which its running after over clocking...

1. yeah Tornado keeps running in the background, I am still trying to find a way to run Tornado as a process.
2. You do not need to keep Vox-OC running, its a set and quit application. Try reinstalling both Tornado and Vox-OC (both in device memory). On every start Vox-OC should show the current speed setting.
3. You can set any speed using Vox-OC (be careful above 252Mhz, your device may stop responding).
4. Tcpmp always shows the speed a little less, I guess it is accurate enough. Its normal for the actual speed to be a little less than the overclocking steps.
5. I do not know of any other application that shows the speed

yup i checked the tcpmp speed was less than wht the omap clock was showing..but its fine i dnt think i hve to reinstall the applications again as they both r working fine and vox is faster now..and there is not much difference of speed wht vox-oc and tcpmp is showing that hardly matters
thx for the application...
if possible work on making the tornado go hide...!!

To make Tornado unavailable for the taskmanager simply highlight it in task and on options screen click Exclude. It will dissapear from the list and remain a process. Even after a reboot.

excluding Tornado from taskmanager(using celetask?) will just make it invisible to that application. try using htc task manager it will be still there
we have to find a way to start it as a process

yup we have to search 4 a solution for vox

Works perfectly on my s710! I'm very pleased with the speed, Thanks!

Great App!
Did you found a solution to start it as a process yet?
Would make this program perfect for my Vox!

RealVGA on a 7510

Hi All,
I've just got my 7510 (1st time Advantage owner) and have loaded RealVGA on to the 16GB Flash Drive apparently with no problem. Similar to the issues faced by 7500 and 7501 users it screws up the Com Manager. I found the post from Tadeusz back in Aug '07 advising to install the Comm Mgr cooked for the Athena PK v.2 ROM. However, when I try to load the Comm Mgr Cab also on to the Flash Drive it reports that the program does not have sufficient permissions. I know that Tobias has not been around for quite a while. Can anyone else suggest a solution?
Thanks a bunch.

Real VGA on 7510
Well maybe I spoke too soon - I'm now getting a white screen straight after a reset. It seems that the only way to recover is a hard reset. Any thoughts on whether RealVGA will not work on the 7510 after all?

Are you sure it was caused by realVGA? Did you do any soft reset with a third party software such as Tweak2k2? I had that exactly same problem when using Tweak2k2, and the creator of the program explained that his soft reset logic is outdated for the newer OS and advised me to poke into the hole and not use the soft reset feature.
In other word, each time when you're asked to click OK to restart, don't click the ok, but poke into the hole.
May be this is not the problem, but since it is so similar to what I experienced before, I thought you may like to try.

You can ask someone who can copy the .exe file of comm manager who is using the VGA file and just copy & paste that to your ROM then soft reset.

RealVGA 1.1 works perfectly on my X7510... But I did not try to change the Comm Manager.
Actually my device is always on 96dpi... and I am very happy with it

Real VGA on a 7510
Hey Eaglesteve,
Good to hear from anothet Aussie on this - I'm from Melb & Bris before coming to LA six years ago. Actually I don't think it was the realVGA that caused the problem cause it happened again after I reste everything - have not worked out what it was yetbut being more circumspect in reloading the other apps this time.

RealVGA
Thanks for the suggestion cktlcmd. Can anyone respond to give me that .exe file for the tweaked Comm Mgr whilst running realVGA?
Also, would you advise loading realVGA into main memory rather than the flash drive or does it not matter?
Thanks

The rogue program??
At the moment I'm thinking that it was SRS_WOWHD_ARM.CAB that cause the white screen - I hope so cause I am not looking forward to reloading for the eighth time!

It does matter. It should be loaded into main memory. When the OS starts it is building its interface in parallel with setting up devices so it can happen that your SD card is not active yet when the OS needs files for interface.

Thanks Tadeusz. I have it seemingly running successfully with it loaded on to the flash drive rather than the SD card. Does your comment regarding the delay in time for the SC card to wake up apply to flash memory also?

realvga problem
I have just installed the realvga and I have seen the permission problem.
The way to do it is like this. After you installed the realvga, the screen is still in 192dpi (i.e. normal mode). You then install the comm manager, you will not get any problem with permission. then you activate the 96dpi mode from the realvga software. The machine will reboot and you will be ok. At least this is how I did it.
hope this helps,

Sorry to say that I followd your suggestion and I still got 'The program cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions". To clarify I'm trying to load "PK 2.0 kaiser 10B Comm Man for VGA" which was the recommended file. I have tried one with (fixed) in the name as well as one without, and I've tried them both in main memory as well as on the flash drive. I've also tried them both with RealVGA both in main memory and on flash drive? I've even tried loading sdkcerts - no joy.

You have to tweak it from the registry:
Allow the unsigned application to be installed by:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
Change value 0000101a from 0 to 1
Do a soft reset.
Can you post a screen picture of how this Comm Manager looks at 96dpi? and maybe the Cab file too?

Thanks cktlcmd - the registry change fixed the problem. THere are 3 files that I found - I'm using the PK 2[1].0 file. Actually I've tried all 3 and cannot really see any difference. I've loaded the file on to the on board Flash Drive.
I've attached screen shots - you'll see that it looks fine in 96 and 128, but not good in 192 although it still appears to work. I'm currently running my x7510 in 128.
The things that still do not come across running realVGA are:
1. the Domain Enroll icon under Connection Settings disapears
2. ActiveSysc icon at the foot of the ActiveSync window in Programs is not quite there (no real big issue).
3. All of the program icons disapear from the HTC Launcher selection dialog (where you go to select programs to appear on the launcher grid). Once selected the icons apper on the grid just fine.
The biggest issue I have is that when selected RealOne Player hops all over the screen from landscape to portrait until it finally loads. Looks as if I'm having some issues with Skype also.
Two steps forward ..... one back!?

Thanks for the pictures. It still looks funny in my view. I still prefer VCommManager for now.

Hello,
no one find problems with sms apps in 96 dpi display mode ?

Problem with installation...
Hi, got the following error message when I try to run the realVGA. Any advice on how to solve?
"Missing 128 DPI resources: ipsecvpnres.128.dll"
Tried 96 as well, same problem about missing DPI resources. Tried continue but soon get into continuous looping in resetting...
Thanks.

Look at post 168 by IRUS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406348&page=17
Thanks should be directed to him.
Just copy and paste the needed files to Windows Folder before activating the desired dpi.

Thanks cktlcmd for pointing to the VGA answer!

For my x7510 when i did the 128dpi setting on real VGA it did do everything smaller and a comfortable dpi. Its just all the icons in the "programs" menu are kinda not smoothish, as in they have jagged edges. Thats what i don't really like about RealVGA program is that the graphics kinda look bad.

Performance - Speed

I'm watching a lot of videos of ppcs and they seems so fast..., we have a strong pda, with strong processor, and i don't have this speeds...
I'm playing with Schaps AC, and everything which name is "cache" xDDD, but i don't have this speeds...
First i want to "recalibrate" this opstions, then i will use hack master or something similar to speed up the machine
Anyone can put what value is the best for performance in this values?
or everything that can help with more speed...
thanks!

what on earth are you talking about?
the x7510?
Rory

Yes.. the x7510....
i'm playing with the values of:
File system cache size
File system filter cache
Glyph cache
Font cache Size
i only ask for this values, if anybody has found the best values for those caches. and if there is something more to do to the x7510 to meake it more smooth and fast.

Try these:
1. FS = Enabled
2. FS Filter = 16 MB
3. Glyph = 16 KB
4. Font = 8 MB
Also, the best favor you can do to your self and to your device, is to use XCPUScaler which will speed the x7510 DRAMATICALLY.
plz. Input your feedback!

Thanks for the utility point, I am using XScalar now with a top speed of 663 with no issues, 728 was just not a stable option. I see a dramatic responsivness increase.

i'm using pocket hack master, what version of xscalar are you using? i had one old version but my x7510 freezes...
I dind't check the values but with memmaid, if you set "optimize for extreme speed", the x7510 is a rocket! xDDDD
i'll search a little bit about more values.
thanks!

well... the best values at the moment i found are:
File system cache = enabled
File system cache size = 2 mbs (more mbs, do nothing...)
File system filter cache = 4096 sectors
Glyph cache= 32 kbs (with a higher value i didn't see the difference)
now i'll try this but with xscalar on, let's see...

I will suggest to push to have a Michyprima or IRUS rom, the speed increse is drammatic, PLUS Diamond Gsensor working, fast, really FAST and responsive

Ok, but we have an x7510!!!!! we can't cook any rom into our devices ....

I have not used MemMaid for a while. But where can the "OPTIMIZE for EXTREME speed" option be located???
I have SKTools installed and it too have this option.

in the third tab (system tweaks), there is a button called Optimize, push it and you will see "For extreme Speed". Just apply and that's all.

XCPUScaler does not appear properly in the VGA Screen, I'm totally lost without this app, what can I do? I just purchased my x7510 today.
Please help!
I 'm using latest version which supposed to support VGA Mode but invain!!!

Actually, it appears properly in VGA, it is landscape that it fails in. Just changge to portrait view before launching it.
On a side note, I stopped using it because I was experiencing sound issues when using it.
