Hi
After some time using orginal Toshiba power saving settings I've found it's terrible slow and upractical using fingers, so I've came with an idea to make simple fast and finger friendly app that will allow me to change basic settings like:
CPU Speed
Wi-Fi speed
Backlight while on battery power
If someone wants to make better graphics for eg. buttons or icon feel free to contribute in this thread and I will think about using them
Nice app ! Hope you'll get someone to make some graphics because I think you desserve it
Maybe you could ask LeSScro
But I'm not sure how much slower it will be with added graphics
I'm not a good programer... Now loking for a way to control cpu via DVS1: driver so I can disable autoscaling
The app seems to be very useful!
I'll install it on my TG01 after I flash a new Rom on it.
Thanks for that app!
Does limiting the CPU actually make the battery last any longeR? When I had it throttled down, I didn't notice a difference :S
"Now loking for a way to control cpu via DVS1: driver so I can disable autoscaling"
I don`t think `Snapdragon`CPU have the ability to auto scale like `Intel Xscale`CPU can. I used Asus P535 before and I don`t need to touch the CPU setting for high or low CPU frequency it does it automatically, for example if the CPU needs more power it will throttle up and if its idle it will throttle down the CPU automatically.
@BIG K in TG01 it looks like this if You'll set Low performance then cpu intensive apps work slower but battery drain is lower if you'll set it to high then cpu reaches max speed and get's higher battery drain it's good for apps that always uses 100% cpu
@elder T Snapdragon CPU does have autoscaling and can be overclocked (look at Snapdragon Android devices forum and at HTC Leo (HD2) fo HD2 there is app to disable autoscaling and overclock cpu but for some unknown reasons works on Acer F1 and LG Expo but doesnt work on TG01.

Everybody has reported their oc'ed phones overheating. I wouldn't try it even if the app worked in tg01. Many use it to downclock for better battery life in which case we have the toshiba tool. Or nico101's
can you make a version how our enable wlan and bloototh? and a way to change skin? greets alcatras
I think it's possible to add enabling bt and wlan but it's rather pointles cause most of today replacements etc have this function with a quick access and with skins problem is that I'm not a good in making better graphics but if someone wants to do them I can replace ugly buttons with graphical ones
I know about overheating and I know that toshiba have even overheating warning in drivers that can warn or shutdown the phone... But disabling autoscaling and controling cpu frequency can be more exact not only setting our cpu to High perf. so it will autoscale from low to high when needed but making it stay on high perf.
Comes there no update from your great app?
Thx!
'Dzięki'
Very useful application!
Due to lack of time I've stopped development to find a way to disable autoscaling
Anyway program works like it should and there are no reasonable propositions what should I try to add
I don't think this program works.
I set the CPU speed to low, but it is indeed still actually set to high. I use this program primarily for back light purposes now. Is there any other program out there that can actually set the CPU to low mode? Using the Toshiba program is soo slow!
Just adding some additional information. When I use the Toshiba power utility and I set the cpu at slow from being previously at high, then when I play a movie it is choppy. When I set my cpu to low in this utility, the movie is still smooth. This utility doesn't do anything cpu related. I tell ya, If someone can produce a good CPU power/backlight utility, that would be really benafictial. We really, really need that, the Toshiba utility is SOOOOOO slow.
-Kilihari.
Weird... Try to change settings in my tool then check if Toshiba settings shows the same... From what I've researched TG01 takes CPU mode from registry values and I"m using and changing the sam values
Yes, it is true.... but still ....
It is indeed true that if you change the cpu mode to low or that it will show up that way in the Toshiba power management utility, however, it definitely does not change the actual CPU speed. Man, I really wish this utility worked, we so need a utility like this for the TG01, something that is finger friendly and fast.
I will look into powersave.exe again but first I need to finish polish version of WM6.5.5
Parameters to run as a script
Hello Nico,
thanks for this helpful and battery life time saving application. I am running it without any problem on my Toshiba TG01 for a weeks.
I have a question if there are (or you plan to add) parameters for starting up this application? I would like to set night script to set Low CPU automatically every night, how to achieve this?
Hi i have just tried this app and i gotta say it is amazing!! I use it as a Spb shortcut and i use it frequently to save battery! . Its fantastic and fast. I throttle down the power when i am not using the phone for intense apps (standby, music) than when i am browsing i use full speed. With this method, i have saved alot of battery.! thanks veey much!
Unfortunaetly i am sad to say i have the same problem as kilihari. The app doesnt seem to work. It works after a reboot, or after i change the settings, i have to open up the toshiba settings app, close it then the changes take place. I used benchmark test to test it and i also notice a lag in spb. Its a shame as i highly anticipated this app for fasy access to toggling swithces.
i hope nico could provide us with a update, but unfortunately he has moved on to android.
Anyone want to take the job up?

i thought I must write a small description about the differences between WM5 aku 3.X and WM Crossbow
1.A refreshing new look the taskbar has a new shine to it,looks crisp and clean ,even the icons and loading(graphics have been changed)
2.more stable ,real good stability when compared to other AKU 3.X of WM5
this I quote because of the fact that I can stay w/o soft resetting the device for 3 days because there is still some ram left in the 3rd day
WM crossbow =18 mb
WM 5 AKU 3.X = 15 mb
3.new smart dialing-this one consumes much lesser ram and has a brand new look..much more responsive than that of the previous smart dialer
4.Voice Command 1.6 comes with Crossbow
5.all new sounds (no more annoying Default tone)
Cons
this is the only disadvantage I found as of now
THE BATTERY CONSUMPTION-the battery drains like crazy...
the PDA runs hardly for 16-17 normal hours
when compared to 1- 1.5 days using WM5 AKU 3.x
Most Important: NO VIDEO CALL
Rest all using Crossbow may know more.
And in crossbow there is no Video call no?
i have to agree - the battery drains faster
con:
if you use BT hands free and also use it for music playback, you can't then use it for voice recognition. so it's either one, not both
will try to find a way arround it, though...

Very true.One has to keep making registry changes.
Battery drains faster? really? I didn't notice that.. maybe it's because of my power settings..
The real PRO about WM6 would be the speed.. it is a lot faster than WM5.
I just hate the loss of video call.. this is one of the biggest features of the Universal and you can't use it..

I hope you're right man.. I really hope you're right..
I hope the (great and awesome) developers out there don't get tired of what they're doing..
Well, the battery drains much much faster than with the previous ROMs. And I have a number of other problems (I have to softreset 2x a day, ...), so I have to go back to AKU 3.2 - worked fine with me. And I can not see REAL improvement in speed. I mean I do not care if the device boots in 25 or 22 seconds, or if it takes 0.05 sec. or 0.03 sec for menu to open.
With regards to the battery drain try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294573&highlight=sd+power+management
It is from one of the other forums but the registry setting seems to improve battery life by allowing SD card to go into a standby mode. Also it does appear to work.
(Though I tend to recharge daily I've not had my battery die midday for a while.)
Also reducing the brightness of the backlight to minimum on battery power seems to increase life considerably.
Thanks. This is very good info for all of us.

On checking the registry as per the link you provided, I dont see " disable power management" . Could you explain how you managed to do so on a universal.
I am using PDAViet's ROM. No fast battery drain on mine.

I have found these little exe toggles to work. I can still use MS Voice command by pressing the button on my headset and if I want all audio to be redirected to the headset (ex to use SJPhone VoIP) I just run BTAUdioToggle.
Works great on the Universal!
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/...ity-redirect-all-audio-bluetooth-headset.html
I tried the BlueMusic application that claimed to do the same and it almost screwed up my machine!
huh? I either missed something or your prog doesn't work. When I launch BTAudioOn.exe, it does the same as if I'd press on my headset's button. Same with BTAUdioToggle.exe
Did I miss something, or what?
It could be that it works for me as I had previously made a registry change that worked under WM5 (but not under WM6) and I never set the registry back.
Try: HKLM/Software/OEM/voicecommand - set the value of "launchapenable" from 1 to 0
reset and try again
Any luck?

I use PHM Registry Editor but I expect any reg editor will do.
Goto HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class
Select 'New DWORD Value'; add an entry for 'DisablePowerManagement' and set the value to 0
IIRC the key needs adding, not just a case of changing the value of an already existing key.

thanks I will try.
To me, the benefits of Crossbow are not it's fancy skinning, or new icons, but:
1. Much improved Pocket Outlook. The ability to show HTML eMails, and to search for eMails by just typing the letters you want when you are viewing the list, is great.
2. Much improved Pocket IE. PIE makes a really good job of rendering web pages now, and in hi-res. I've been able to stop using Opera, as use a combination of PIE and MultiIE, to give tab support, for all of my browsing.
3. Much improved Terminal Service Client application. The full screen facility without having to resort to 3rd party software (thanks Vijay!) is very handy.
I think speed has improved, but I wouldn't say that stability is worse over a standard ROM, but its still not so much of a downside for me to give up those facilities outlined above.
Cheers,
Steve.
I feel the only drawback is the phone application in other words the radio.
Somehow, call gets disconnected while talking, busy tone is not heard and it tends to freeze.
It seems like TCPMP only get the clocks speed up to around 500mhz when playing anything intensive. It shows the clock speed in TCPMP in settings - general. Also the task manager shows that TCPMP is only using about 50% of the cpu
Unfortunately the video lags a lot on one of my 720x480 (H.264+AAC+subtitle) video files.
I've love to know if TCPMP can make full use of the snapdragon processor.

Their clock measurement routines don't support current processors, that stopped giving correct numbers since a few phone generations now.

I don't doubt that, but task manager should be up to date and it only shows 50% cpu usage.
I'd really like to see if it can make full use of the cpu so I can watch some stuff without converting it. Also I've heard coreplayer doesn't support subtitles yet.

Using 100% of the CPU does not mean that it's running at full speed. They're 2 very different things, and if you did use 100% of the CPU then you'd see a very negative result as everything would become pretty much useless.

I realize that 100% doesn't mean that the cpu is going at max speed, but 50% does mean that the program is only using 50% the cpu (regardless of the speed it's at).
100% cpu wouldn't necessarily be bad. The program would only cause the system and others to come to a halt if its priority was higher than the important functions. (Unless WM functions much different from Windows.)
For example, seti and prime95 can all use 100% of cpu, but everything else will run just fine.
what settings do you guys use in core player for the best results? i just setup orb on my home pc and it streams to core player on my phone...just want to make sure im using the best setup!
Games run too fast.
I tried changing the clock speed to 83% via menu, but then the sound becomes choppy.
Does anyone have a solution?
Does it not have a frame limiter option?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
It does not have a frame limiter option, but it does have the following options -
Auto Frameskip - Enable/Disable
Frameskip - 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 <------ This is maybe the problem? There is no "0" option
Switch to NTCS mode - Enable/Disable
System Clock - 100%/83%/75% <----- Only 3 options here. I believe that a 90% option would probably fix the speed issue, but you are unable to set this. I tried 83% which slows games down quite nicely, but it's just a bit too slow and sound goes out of synch and choppy.
Synch Threshold - 100%/83%/75%/50% <---- Selecting any of these doesn't seem to make any difference.
Ok i got the speed running perfect. Maybe this will help some other people searching some time in the future.
It was the one option i didnt try - Cyclone M68k emulation needs to be enabled for correct emulation speed.
The one problem with this is that save and load states do not work with this mode.
Shame. It was nice to load to the title screen, save state and have no load times next time you ran the emulator.
Although the dev should be ashamed of himself for not including a fast load option
I'm not really ashamed , I spent some hours on save states with the cyclone core but never found the light

No you shouldn't be, I was just messing. Its a nice emulator.
Some things that could work better though -
1) Fast load!
2) Transparent keyboard.

Just wanted to say thanks for the emu and the thread.
I didn't know there was an Amiga 500 emu on droid until this thread!
Still got my original Amiga 500 with loads of disks, awesome machine at the time.

ps. there was a game where you played an Indian, does anyone remember what that was? There was canoeing bits in it and the shooting of a bear.
I want to make the CPU do a lot of work. What sort of program is good to stress the CPU like that. I found this http://code.google.com/p/stressapptest/ but it is not for ARM. What I am trying to do here is to have the stress application run in the background and test an application that I have written in foreground. Dosen't mind if it is an apk or a c file. Any help is greatly appreciated...
Pretty sure SetCPU has a stress-tester built in.
Am looking for a free one..
SetCPU is free if downloaded from the XDA thread.
Are there any other stress testing mechanisms like a C program? Where I can run it in the background and test my application. I am changing the nice value of the processes and want to see the effect of changing nice values..
When there is a heavy background process running I expect the interactivity of the forground apps to be slow, so want to check if I change nice values would the ineractivity improve..
SetCPU seem to address the same issue by changing vlotages and I don't think I can use its as stress testing app to test mine.

Super smooth on Android touch screen, avoid content not-follow-up problems.
Review :http://www.phonearena.com/news/Spot...d-up-your-sluggish-Android-smartphone_id75851
AndroidCommunity: Super Touch optimizes touch function, improves battery consumption. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIw1fjbuCg
Facebook page : https://m.facebook.com/supertouchapp/
1. Magnificent screen sliding respond, easy sliding on screen and no longer delay.
2. Incredibly smooth on zooming web pages or images as well as any operations needing to zoom.
3. Sliding to all directions is unbelievably quick and smooth.
4. Unbelievably quick and smooth lists rolling.
5. Much faster launching and loading Apps.
6. Speedy and accurate typing experience.
7. Much rapid on playing all sorts of games.
8. The first power-saving optimization app that does not affecting phones’ performance.
Super Touch allows you to experience unprecedented smooth smart phones.
Main functions：
One of this App’s main functions is to allow Android devices sliding much quicker and smoother, which will solve the problem of slow drag.
Sliding, dragging and zooming are far smoother; content follows up your fingertip; switching columns is also a lot quicker.
Lists rolling is extraordinarily speedier and smoother, typing is incredibly easier.
There is also a very practical power-saving optimization function, which doesn’t sacrifice the performance of the phone.
Important Instruction：
720P resolution is recommended a level of 600-1314
1080P resolution is recommended a level of 1520-3998
2K resolution with Qualcomm’s GPU is recommend a level of 5186-6998
2K resolution, non- Qualcomm GPU is recommended a level of 600-1520 ( For example, Samsung S6 and Series Edge )
2K or 4K resolution with Qualcomm GPU both can use level 9998.
The above information is only reference; please adjust to the most appropriate level for specific phones.
1. Higher the GPU ability is, the smoother it will be within a higher level, relatively, a high level with a poor GPU is less effective.
2. After launching touch optimization and being enabled, it can work without running in background (about 1 minute to take effect, depend on CPU’s performance)
3. Do not switch off auto start-up, every time rebooting system requires a auto optimization permission.
There will be a small portion of extra power consumption while enabling the optimization system, and after power consumption will go back to normal.
Advanced function is a smooth level of 300 – 9998, it can be open to use when a phone reaches the standard.
No Root permission needed for all functions.
Sliding optimization will be disabled for some devices while charging, (system controls the effect when it disables) It will be notified of the optimization system disabled while charging.

interesting im going to test it, subscribed
Im using this app and idk whether it helps to reduce stuttering while scrolling on my phone. But im using a custom lock screen and the lock screen doesn't show during unlock when i enable thiss app. Lock screen shows when this app is disabled.
Hum this app seem to be suspicious! in the description it says the advanced feature can be disabled only with official firmware flash ...

Agreed with the above poster.
And in your video, the app/optimization is "disabled" by plugging in your charger. Ive experienced personally some of my devices become laggier when connected to charger maybe because of actions/apps which are running when plugged in.
