How can I save the dictionary/transcriber progress?

1. I have the impression that the transcriber gets used to my writing increasingly better, but that this knowledge is lost after a hard reset. Is there any way of saving the transcriber's "experience"?
2. I would also like to safe my dictionary's increased knowledge.
3. Is there, in general, a possibility to download a "better" dictionary anywhere on the net?
Thanks in advance
Michael

i'm pretty sure it dont learn anything from your writing
if it does it's the first i've heard about it
but you can tweak it's settings in the options where you pick between choices how you normaly write

Suggestions to improve the tornado WM6 roms

I think that, after has proved two roms that there is in this moment, many of us have valuable contributions that made to help to perfect the final score. I have seen many very positive dispersed suggestions for the different threads that treat the topic.
I think that it is better to open a thread exclusively for suggestions and only suggestions (although they could accompany oneself of a comment) of progress, which is plain and practical for the consultation of the creators of roms.
Also I think that if some suggestion is debatable, we could debate on it and even to vote if we weigh that it must be included or not.
Clearly, they will take their own decisions according to what here they see and of their own perceptions; but it is sure that we serve them as help.
I begin with my own suggestions:
Only for that of Phil:
- To include the STK services to be able to use dual sim.
For both:
- To support most of free possible memory, by means of:
*To install only a source for defect and to be able to have others by means of cabs
*To include neither Windows Live nor the Office, not even Voice Command for defect. To add them in cabs.
- If someone manages to make to work this, to include in the rom (WLAN IP Manager) since it would solve the one that for me is the worst defect of Tornados: the inability to get connected with fixed IPs.
Thanks
PD: I have seen many different, as one on a driver for the joystick, someone on the starter, others on the multimedia player, etc., that also would like to see me implemented, but I hope that there should be the first ones in contributing them who posteen here, so they will be able to make it much better than I.
Excuse us, to me for my horrible English and to Google for his horrifying Spanish.

You are contradicting with yourself. You are saying that they must leave as much free memory as possible and then you are asking for a feature only a few of us will ever use.
I believe the roms must be left as clean as possible. A couple of things such as HTC tasks, file manager, comm manager etc. may be default. But other than that anything can be left out. This way we guarantee that everybody has his own OS style (like linux, unlike windows).
Right now I am using Phil's rom and it is quite stable and fast and I am very satisfied. There are some debug related applications in it which will probably be removed in the next release. And the rest, for me, just works like a charm.

Which? If you talk about STK services, to where I understand I believe that it is an own service of the phone that does not consume resources that only become “visible” when there are several options of to switch on. I do not believe that that is to request a new characteristic, but to correct an error. If you talk about WLAN IP Manager, the same. It does not do more than small adjustments in the registry to correct a tremendous error of the Tornado.
I do not see that it requests nothing else, but good, if some of the things comes aside in cab installable, because better.
It seemed to me very interesting something of a magnificent one to driver for joistick, but no longer I know nor by where it walks.
In order to themselves separate the possible discussions of the suggestions, I believe that it is going to be better to put in negrilla these last ones. In case the creators of roms want to review the thread of a look it will be more easy.

i did have a small list of improvements made some time ago:
ok phil.
if u remove windows update, at least supply it as a cab in the extras folder.
channels don't work.
long pressed side button does not work! it used to start voice note record for the sda and i'd like that to work.
mms.
better camera software. btw htc camera makes the phone SLOW..... not a good one. need an alternate
enable profile switching to silent when long pressing '#' key
default folder for saving pictures on storage card is not my documents\my pictures any more but a lame dcim folder. that would be nice to be changed.
also, sometimes when answering a call, the keyboard stays locked, the call is still on, but the home screen is active and not the call screen.
joystick seems much better but sometimes it doesn't want to work as it should. maybe another driver; if not, this one is good
we need wpa2 for wifi enabled.
also add in the extras folder:
moblue
tcpmp with extra codecs
htc audio manager could be good
if u need the cabs for moblue and htc audio, i have them
there is an newer version of sim manager. v6.10. has a couple of new things (got it if u need it)
and maybe add a good version of opera. not the java one.
we also need a good midlet manager
also a good instant messaging program. maybe a multi client one like oz mobile im, or like im+

Very worked, correct an useful list. I am in agreement with almost everything.

I believe everybody wants is a small, fast and clean ROM, with the latest and more reliable drivers.
Imho, any application that is not mandatory, OR if could be installed in SD should be packed together with the ROM in a ZIP file, so everyone could choose which extra features to install.
Since the extra features installation take some (lot of) time reset or first installation. - It would be Great if someone could manage to create a package installer, where the user may choose what "extras" to install.

Excellent idea. Save lots of time. (Excuse me for I put it in "bold")

Headset profile is missing

I would also add Autokeylock and Right Menu in ROM. They seem to me two essential littel applications.

right menu is not free.
i don't think it's a good idea to include all those 3d party, just the esential stuff (as mms, camera, etc).

Ohhh. It's correct. Excuse me. I thought that it was free. It's mine for a long time.
I agree totally in the rest, but… for me Autokeylock isa essential stuff.

Just give us a basic version, do not include things which can be installed in storage card to maximize the available space

Well said, I agree.

oh yeah... i did forget one bug for my list:
the wm6 t9 does not work right. it seems it has been borrowed from a chinese rom or something because when you switch between typing modes with the * key, it displays some chineese characters.

To break the Modaco xT9 language pack so only the necessary language can be installed .
Very important. About 2.5 Mg will be saved. I know It by experience

Ditto. Good idea!

[Q] Best SIMPLE & FREE time-based profile changer?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a SIMPLE tool for WM6.5 (HTC TD2) for automatic changes of profile based on time (say, Silent from 11 PM to 6 AM, otherwise Normal). I'd prefer the application to be as simple as possible to ensure its memory and battery footprints are as small as possible. Also, I'd like it to be free.
I know of many apps that can do this, but most of them contain lots of other functionalities and usually are paid (PhoneAlarm, G-Profile, PhoneWeaver, ...). So, is there any simple and free tool that would do just the switching?
Thanks for any tips.

After some more searching I found exactly what I needed: TProfiler (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629507).

Oh, I guess I should have refreshed the page before replying to see if there are any new posts...
Anyway, thanks a lot for the tip!
One more thing: I've been wondering about the way this app works, since it seems it doesn't need to run in background. Does WM6.5 contain something like scheduled tasks known from desktop version of Windows?

KSM, does it really improves performance ?

Well sadly i don't have an answer for that question yet...
I'm trying to think of a way to put KSM to the test on my android device.
As far as i understand it is possible that the kernel actually causes high CPU usage trying to map and unmap memory pages over and over again.
This issue is known for linux and other virtual machines so it is possible that the Same effect will be on the android vm
Testings that i found are not relevant to android.
For example:
The result is a dramatic decrease in memory usage in virtualization environments. In a virtualization server, Red Hat found that thanks to KSM, KVM can run as many as 52 Windows XP VMs with 1 GB of RAM each on a server with just 16 GB of RAM. Because KSM works transparently to userspace apps, it can be adopted very easily, and provides huge memory savings for free to current production systems. It was originally developed for use with KVM, but it can be also used with any other virtualization system - or even in non virtualization workloads, for example applications that for some reason have several processes using lots of memory that could be shared.

What i would really want to know is what would happen if each of these VMs Would run a different application/game/audio/graphics software at the same time ? or what if the same vm will run many different apps ? and also to compare cpu usage with and without KSM
Guess i'll need a tool for that. something like 'iostat' but for memory diagnostic and another tool to see a per process CPU usage but 'top' is not good enough for that.
Any way, the best test should present clear results with precised data.
I'll keep looking for legit way to put it to the test.
If you can think of a way to test KSM with android, please let me know.

This is a technique that relates mostly to processes like virtualisation. For example, when you load 5 windows XP VMs, you'll have a good 10 - 20 services that are practically the same in memory in each VM. Instead of each service using 10mb (ie, 10mb x 5 = 50mb), you only need say 15 or 20mb using KSM. If you use different applications, it is very unlikely that anything would be saved FOR THAT APPLICATION. However, the main elements of a Windows XP System would still be there (drivers, explorer, firewall, logon, search and so on). Means little in one setup, but when you have several VMs it is shown to be a huge advantage. As we know a simple XP install can use 500mb of RAM actively, and this is fairly uniform across instals.
With android, i don't know if there are specific RAM savings to be had. Don't know enough about the inner workings and the sandbox android puts its apps in or how apps interact with system services. Sadly, i can't think of a good way to test it out either, but i'll be keeping an eye on this topic for someone (much) more knowledgeable to come along.

That entire paragraph was dedicated to you bedalus, we both know that.

Lol
I hope someone can answer this though.

KSM does not improve performance on Android just like that - all enabling KSM does, is enable SUPPORT for the Feature but Applications would have to make use of the feature, which they don't.
You can easily verify this like that :
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
<wait and/or run the Applications of your choice>
cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing
IF the above shows a value > 0 then you are making use of KSM else it's just available, without anyone using the feature.
Here's an interesting Article that gives a little more insight :
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/using-ksm-kernel-samepage-merging-kvm
By the way, the same is true for ZCACHE. If you really want to make better use of your Memory (RAM) then using ZRAM as a Swapdevice does work (and may often make sense, too).
That all said : There appear to be efforts to make use of KSM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464758 - so things may well change ...

any update on this...?

[GUIDE][HOW TO]How to control excessive use of ram in custom roms or stock roms

Hi ​
Before I mean that applications and tweaks that will give them are the ones I've used, tested and have worked for me, so if you have that you know could be so kind as to comment as you lack have managed to control the use of RAM.
I also want to say sorry if my English is bad, I had to use the Google translator on the one hand and on the other my little knowledge in English, I'm sorry.
Not if you have noticed but in the Custom Roms of our device we overuse of RAM, this becomes more noticeable even Roms based on Lollipop, as can be CyanogenMod 12 where we can see that sometimes bubbles Messenger chat can be closed or the music is turned off, so I write this guide to explain how to control this use with some applications that truth to me I have worked.
-Apps:​
The truth use applications to control the use of RAM is very embarrassing, since we are no longer in a device with 180MB of RAM, and have to use Tweaks or applications that optimize this, for some use some Tweak or application on this device is something good to optimize it a bit more, but we think 1GB of RAM and a 1.2 Ghz processor with 4 core.​
To control the use of RAM I recommend...
Root Booster(FULL VERSION):​
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ram.memory.booster.cpu.saver
The truth is that this application achieving control the use of RAM on my device, but I had to buy the full version, you can use the mode solves this problem, in short, once you buy the application must be enabled mode more stability and activate (Required root to use this application, it is a bit obvious that the application is called root Booster).
​
AutoKiller:​
Before knowing Root Booster using this application but really saw that I closed many processes necessary but the truth if I won a big improvement in the management of RAM, the truth if you run install I recommend you select the Ultimate mode.
-Tweaks:​
Truth does not recommend it Tweaks init.d but the truth if they help as much as elsewhere in scrolling speed or other you run.​
L-Speed:​
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138
This Tweak me if I worked well to improve the speed of scrolling and a little more open applications, RAM usage but saw no improvement truth in one or another section if that worked.
Now, this is the only tweak I can recommend for this device.
-Things not recommend:​​
Do not mix Tweaks:​
Many would say that mixing Tweaks will gain greater speed, but not really. In some cases this may cause system instability, causing not work normally, can cause terrible lags or even a brick, do not think for mixing Tweaks will gain greater speed, if your system already works well with you Tweak to mix with more.
​
Do not mix apps:​
I say almost the same as in the previous tip, if your device and works well with an application to modify that, the truth if mixed apps can cause applications to close or in some cases are playing something and that game middle parting closure.
​
Well, that's all I can tell you, as I said at the beginning of the post if you have any Tweak or application that worked them to control this might share? would help users much more control this big problem, I hope you enjoyed this post and wish them well controlling this great use of RAM in their devices,
Greetings.
