Has anyone looked at TWEAKSTER for TREO. Seems quite nice but as I dont know anything about a TREO, maybe someone can port it to Der Kaiser?

"MortScript: Tweakster, BETA available
I know NOTHING about MortScript (have just started reading) so I hope that some of the The Mort Kings are here in Der Kaiser World and will give it a shot..
I cannot get the plugins to work, but main script seems fine..
"The Mort Virgin" =
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cool new app available for you Treo power-users!!
Tweakster has three major functions:
1) Scheduling : create profiles & schedule events (33 plugins included)
2) Tweaks : applying tweaks (97 tweaks included)
3) Probes : retrieve system info (44 probes included)
Here are some examples of what you can do...
- Set up profiles for your favorite settings
- Change ringtones at 9:00 Mon-Fri to one set of ringtones, and
evenings and weekends to a different set of ringtones
- Soft Reset at 3:00 AM every day
- Turn Bluetooth & Wifi on at 8:00 AM, Mon - Fri
- Clear you IE cache every night at 2:00 AM
- Turn Brightness up, but keyboard lights off at 7:00 AM
- Check an eBay auction every 15 minutes, display current bid on Today Screen
- Set a storage alert when your builtin flash storage drops below 1MB
- Leave yourself a Voice reminder for lunch at 11:45
- NEW: Use your Treo as a SpyCam, schedule a video recording in "stealth" mode"
That DOES sound pretty cool. I would imagine one of the skilled artisans here in the Kaiser world could take that and make it work.

It would help your cause if you gave the working link
For those that are interested, here is ALOT more detail on Tweakster.
1.0 PLUGIN DETAILS
The plugins included are fairly simple in nature and intended to showcase what you
"can" do with Tweakster. Some of them are very useful, others are sorta lame, all of
them could be improved upon. By all means, I hope others will either improve upon this
or add to this collection to make it more useful.
Audio Play - Plays an audio file, currently scans the "\Windows" directory looking for
sound files. This can be changed by modifying AudioPlay.input.
Backup Folder - Will periodically zip up a folder and save the zip file in the specified
target directory. Currently these are specified via BackupFolder.ini
under [settings]. You can also configure how many backups to keep in the
target directory, in order to limit the number of backups, at which point
it will remove the oldest backup as it creates a new one. Note this is
not intended as a full-backup solution, please use one of the fine products
available for that. This is intended for periodic backup of notes, saved
text messages, etc.
Auto Dialer - Will call a number at the specified time. It cannot do much else because
I can't control sound while the call is connected, so it's only useful
as a wakeup call. Although one clever user added that this could be for
for voting on Americal Idol. Please use responsibly This requires
VJDialer from VJPhoneTools.
Battery Alert - Will alert you if battery drops below a certain percentage. Allows you to
set a higher threshold than the default of 10%, if you want to know sooner
rather than later.
Bluetooth Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Bluetooth On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Brightness - Allows you to alter the brightness level. Note, even though the control
panel lets you set the brightness level to 0, this plugin will NOT allow
that setting because once it exits the control panel you would have no way
of figuring out how to put it back!!
Cleanup - Allows you to selectively clear the IECache, \Temp directory, or
\My Documents\temp directories.
Clear Call History - Does what it says, wipes out your call history.
Clock Radio - Sorty cheesy plugin, but cool at the same time. If you don't like the
techy alarms and prefer something more traditional, this may be for you.
It allows you to select a radio station (I preloaded a few, which you can
change by modifying ClockRadio.ini), and it wakes you up at the specified
time displaying a full-screen analog clock. The clock has an "exit" button,
and if you tap on the clockface, it will snooze for 10 minutes. This requires
an internet connection to work, so don't even bother if you don't have a
reliable connection.
Ebay Auction - Specify an ebay listing number, and it will display the current bid and
time remaining at the chosen interval in a message box.
Flash - Will flash the keyboard lights multiple times to get your attention. May be
useful if you want a visual alert, rather than an audible alert.
Keylight Off - Does what it says.
Keylight On - Does what it says.
Launcher - Launches an application or file is there is an associated handler with that
file type. You can type in file path and the arguments at the time of
configuration, or if configure Launcher.ini, it will take the file and
arguments from there. Note, there is a bug in MortScript that if you
bring up the "Alt" keys to select a "\", once you quit that it will send
a return key to Mortscript and you will never be able to type in the path!
Use the on-screen keyboard instead.
Memory Alert - Allows you to set a free memory threshold and once free memory dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
memory monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose.
Message Box - Type in some text, and a message box with that text will show up as a reminder
at the specified time.
NoDoze - Will keep the phone awake at the specified time, for the specified amount of
time, battery be damned. Use sparingly.
Note Reminder - Will bring up notepad and let you type in a note, or if you prefer you can
scribble your note, and it will bring it up at the scheduled time.
PhoneRadio Off- Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
PhoneRadio On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Ringer Volume - Does what it says, speaker volume is set independently.
Ring Tones - Allows you to set the "known caller" ringtone, and the "unknown caller"
ringtones at the specified time. It will check the following directories:
\Windows, \Windows\Rings, and \My Documents\Rings. It has a limit of 96
files and it can be slow to bring up the selection dialog depending on how
many files there are, please be patient.
Soft Reset - Schedule a reboot at the specified time. There is a "cancel" message, that
will allow you up to 60 seconds to cancel before it reboots.
Speaker Volume- Does what it says, ringer volume is set independently.
Note, there is no "Call Volume" plugin yet.
Spy Cam - Schedule a video recording. You specify the number of minutes to record
and you Treo will automatically create a video recording. If you specify
"stealth" mode, the Treo screen will remain blank and appear to be off
when the recording takes place. If you have LEDup installed (another 3rd
party app), it will give you the option of blinking the green LED while
it is recording. Please make sure you have specified the "Storage Card"
as your save location in the camera app, otherwise you will run out of
storage very quickly. You will also need to disable Keyguard for this
plugin. And finally, another caveat is that there is no recorded audio
while in stealth mode, this is a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon.
As with the Autodialer plugin, please use responsibly
Stock Quote - Allows you to specify a space-separated list of stock symbols and will bring
up a message box with stock quotes at the scheduled interval. Currently
these must be specified at the time you configure the plugin, not from the
.ini file.
Storage Alert - Allows you to set a free storage threshold and once free storage dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
storage monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose. You can set thresholds for
builtin flash or a storage card.
Today Line - Display a short message on the Today screen by hijacking the Operator/Carrier
Name. You can choose from the following:
News Headline
Stock Quote
Weather Forecast
Battery Status
Storage Status
Memory Status
eBay Auction
Note, because of the limited amount of space, the amount of information that
can be displayed is minimal. Once again, this is not real-time, it is updated
as often at the plugin is scheduled. There is a lot of room for improvement
here, such as cycling through the various options.
Vibrate - Does what it says, nothing else.
Voice Reminder- Starts up notepad in recording mode and will let you record a voice note.
It will play the message at the specified time.
Wifi Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Wifi On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Hi Martindhk and others,
Tweakster works fine on the Kaiser, just tested many of the tweaks.
Personally I don't like the Mortscript interface, but the tweaks and features of Tweakster might make it better than for instance KaiserTweak or Schaps AdvancedConfig, which both contain similar, other or the same tweaks as Tweakster...I guess someone is going to have to work through all applications and make one
Regards,
Nika.
I agree on your point. Have tried some of the plugins and they seem to work. Could be cool with a nice interface towards the plugin part and the possibility to address them to buttons instead of a schedule
maybe you could post how to actually use the application? thanks
From the "readme"
INSTALLING TWEAKSTER:
Unfortunately, there is no CAB installer yet, you will have to manually
install Tweakster. The following steps should get you up and running:
1) Install MortScript 4.0
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65
Note, please make sure you install 4.0 and not 4.01 since there are still
compatibility issues in 4.01 that Mort is working on.
2) Install Tweakster
- Unzip the Tweakster_v1.0_BETArXX.zip file on your PC. Copy the entire
"Tweakster" folder to your Treo under "\Program Files".
(Note: It can be installed anywhere if you prefer elsewhere, but please
install it on built-in flash memory rather than the storage card to
minimize any issues.)
- If you want Tweakster to show up under "Programs" from the Start Menu,
you will need to create a shortcut to "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr"
and place the shortcut under "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
3) Install VJ utilities.
These utilities allow you to set bluetooth, wifi and phone state,
as well as use the Autodialer plugin. They aren't strictly required but
are recommended, especially if you intend on using Tweakster profiles.
VJVolubilis: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
VJPhoneTools: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
For now, they must be installed in the default location.
Both MortScript and the VJ utilities are lightweight, stable and very well
tested. These applications are donation-ware, but if you feel these apps are
useful, you can visit the author's site and make a contribution.
4) To start up Tweakster, select "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr" with
the file browser of your choice, or if you made a shortcut in the Programs
Folder, select the shortcut you place there..
PLUGINS:
For more information on the scheduling plugins and what they do, please see
"PLUGIN DETAILS" in the Details.txt attachment. If you want to know how to create
your own plugins, you can take a look at the example plugin scripts in the Templates
folder of Tweakster.
TWEAKS:
In general, you should use precautions when applying tweaks. This goes for
ANY tweaking program, you should make sure you have a full backup of your Treo
and have a backup of your registry before you start trying out tweaks. Some of
the tweaks require a soft-reset, so if the tweak is not immediately effective,
you may need to reboot. If you are not completely sure what the tweak does,
please do some research on the internet. Most of these tweaks are widely known
and you can find information on them at the following locations:

also, i dont see a "readme" file or details.txt file in the attachment or post.
SRY - was not part of first post..
Here it is..
The thing is that I cannot get the plugins to work. Tried to SPYCAM - ooohhh - but nope, it needs to be tweaked to fit our device, I guess...
Hi. I was able to get the plugins to work to a certain extent. However I have into two problems in using this script and wonder if anyone might be able to directed me to the solution.
1) When I run a profile of my settings, the program tells me - Error: Script file not found: ". (Quotation mark is the script file not found) It proceeds to run the script I selected from Vjay555 folder anyway after I acknowledge the error message. I tried to look for an extra quotation mark in the Tweakster script (I don't think it is the plugin script that is causing the problem), but I can't make heads or tails of it.
2) When I run the -radioon script, it will turn on my phone radio, but it will not connect to my wireless provider. I'm not sure what that would be the case. If I use the Comm Manager or if I use Battery Status taskbar to turn off the phone and turn it back on again, I will get the phone to connect to my wireless provider.
Can someone help me figure out how to work out these problems? Thanks.
UPDATE: I tried the scripts that were in the plug in folder and found that the scripts were causing the first error reading. The more troubling finding was that VJVolubilis may not work for my phone (8125) as described on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911&highlight=VJVolubilis.
What a bummer. Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks.
Hi C

No solutions, but I have a hint to one of the problems. I installed PPC Profiles Pro from Modaco.com and PocketZenPhone and got the same problem with the lack of network connection when the phone radio is toggled back on. This may suggest that the problem is with the Wizard or with WM5. I don't know how to solve that problem.

Did you get any succes with the other plugins??
Haven't wanted to pay for one if one was available for free. If I can get help in fixing the radio toggle problem, then I'll be happy with PPC Profiles Pro. I'm tempted to try Phone Alarm or PocketZenPhone 6.0 (the version I tried was version 4.5.1), but I had read some bad stuff that happened to other users phones with this program (while others liked it).
help me
any way to reset all my tweaks?
PocketZenPhone 6.02 works on my 8125. I don't know what is different between the two versions that allows it to work. If I can't get an answer within the next few weeks, I'll probably purchase the program.

******************************************************
Improve graphic layer cache performance
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
Change the value of ‘limit’ from 8192 to 16384, 32768 or 65536 can be used as well but thats an overkill.
Increase Font Cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\CS=16384
Values same as glyph but currently this doesn’t show any gains so leave 0.
Enable file cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
CacheSize=0×1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
EnableCache=0×1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\
ReplStoreCacheSize=0×1000(4096)
Speed up SD Card Transfer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
MMC_CLASS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
SDMEMORY_CLASS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
SDMEMORY_CLASS\High_Capacity
Change ‘BlockTransferSize’ from 64 to 16. This makes SD much more responsive with 4x faster read times!
Enable IE faster caching
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\AggressiveCache=1
Remove Wireless Manager icon from right-bottom corner of today
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WlsMngSrv
In our case Keep = 0 doesn’t work so I change the filename of WlsMngSrv.dll in this reg key to sth like WlsMngSrv.dllxxx. You can delete the whole key as well but it’s easier to get back to it if you would ever need to. You can still load it from programs menu or assign a hardware button.
Today bottom keys
Create the following keys and strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
112 is the left key and 113 is the right. Now for each key create two new strings for example: Default=Notes and Open=\Windows\notes.exe
Clear Type for horizontal mode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation=0
Note that 0 is enabled and 1 is disabled!
Enable Cleartype in Pocket Internet Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ClearTypeText=1
GPRS/EDGE keep alive
Change this if you constantly need internet access and don’t want to wait for connection to establish. It doesn’t drain your battery as this is only a GSM network state flag and nothing is transferred, so there is no way why you shouldn’t use this. The device is simply prepared to send/receive data. This also prevents the red phone button when pressed from closing data connection.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\
{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\
Connections\*your connection name*\AlwaysOn = 1
Change Wireless Manager to default WM style
This will revert default Microsoft Wireless Manager which is much cleaner and faster than Eten’s. You will need an initWiFi script though… so this trick is for advanced users only. Run Windows\wrlsmgr.exe to see how it looks.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr\
Redirect=\Windows\wrlsmgr.exe
Disable SMS threading in WM6.1
Create binary value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled=01
overview.
There are numerous hacks within the text. The text contains headings and steps. First you need a registry editor (PHM registry editor? Sorry, do a search - I've been using MemMaid, which does more, but at a price). Then open up those paths and edit / create the values indicated for the effect that is listed above.
example.
Clear Type for horizontal mode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\Of fOnRotation=0
Note that 0 is enabled and 1 is disabled!
explanation.
This registry hack enables / disables ClearType, or font smoothing, when the phone is in landscape mode. This is sometimes not desirable, as some phones have some issues with the RGB layout within the pixels for landscape. Open up your registry editor, navigate to the path / key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation", and change the value of "OffOnRotation" - to "0" to enable and to "1" to disable.
question.
Do you need everything translated, or can you work it out yourself? I'll be happy to explain the rest if you want. Just gave an example to demonstrate what I meant.
Increase Font Cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\CS=16384
Values same as glyph but currently this doesn’t show any gains so leave 0.
Enable file cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
CacheSize=0×1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
EnableCache=0×1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\
ReplStoreCacheSize=0×1000(4096)
Thanks Bro. but this I want to know more.... Do I have to edit/change the value in that order or delete the first one and subtitute the enclosed value.
And if you wish bro. add more registry hack for better wm 6.1 performance ...........hahahaha.
It doesn't matter what order you edit them in; just do them all at once and soft reset. Before you do anything (with PHM or dotFred Regedit), just back up your registry (select 'export all' with dotfred). You should also just do a full system backup with sprite or whatever you use. If you really screw up, you can always hard reset and then do a restore. Or, you can copy the default.hv (hklm and hkcr) and the user.hv (hkcu) from your \windows folder (not \documents and settings) onto a pc and open it up with ceregeditor. It will look just like a normal registry, and you can see what the original reg values were on the device in factory conditions and restore them (note: it's possible that some of these change during customization after a hard reset/flash, but this will work for probably >98% of them).
You can also look up Advanced Configuration-a lot of those tweaks are included in it, particularly the cache tweaks (under performance). If you do them manually, make sure you get the numeric format correct (hex vs. decimal-you can normally choose).

hey can someone help me here. i want to change the cooked in ie from wm6 to the ie6 from 6.5.3 . which i have. im just not finding it anywhere. is there a registry hack for this because i have pie6 cab but it doesnt replace it
Trying to see if this is possable....
What I would like to do, is make my WP7 device see my Data Connection as a Wi-Fi connection to download larger apps from the Marketplace when I am away from home or away from a wi-fi connection. Something that could be turned on and off.
Is this even possable ?
I hate the fact because I am on the road I can't buy a new App because of it's size, even tho I am on a full 5 bar 3G connection.....
Thoughts ?
My guess is that there is a throttling bit set in the registry for the Zune app for when not on wifi - I just can't seem to find it.
There's a value which appears to control this limit specified a file in \My Documents\Zune\PimentoCache\Keepers. The files there are downloaded to the phone based on your carrier and OEM, but they can be temporarily replaced (this is how my OEM Marketplace XAPs work).

Are you saying that what I am looking for IS possable ?
If so where do I get started with this ?
I'd love something that could go in the Settings menu to enable a 50mb limit or something, that I can turn off when I am done.
You'll need to interop unlock and/or root your phone so you can browse/edit the registry.
Moved TO WP7 Q&A
Thread moved to WP7 Q&A. Please post in the correct section in the future. Posting in the dev section just to try to get extra exposure is not allowed.

Now that this thread is back open.. I would like to see if it's possable to get to the bottom of this.
What my dream is here... A little app that is in the Settings that will allow you to change your settings to allow the limit to extend to 50-100mb for a short time. This will allow users to download a larger App from the marketplace.
One of my biggest hates on WP7 is when I am on the road (not at home or by a wi-fi network), I can not BUY a new app because of it's size limits.
Has anyone tried this ? And do you need root access on your device for an app to be able to change this setting (by just flipping a switch) ?
Thanks !

I had the same issue and the solution to it is to edit the xml files LKG_MOConfig.xml and Downloaded_MOConfig.xml located at /My Documents/Zune/PimentoCache/Keepers. The download limit is set to 20 and can be edited to a higher value. I recently downloaded an 80 MB file through my 3G network. The only downside it seems is the files get replaced by the OS in every few days. To get round that I have made the files read-only and testing it. Will let you know how it goes.
And yes it will require a rooted or a fully unlocked phone.
Thanks to ken52787 for figuring out the files and his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602691
You don't need full unlock, just interop_unlock with a file browser.
Testing myself...

Here's the pre-edited files with a 200 MB limit & the "Read Only" attribute set in case it works. You don't need full unlock, just interop_unlock with a file browser.

I'd remove these files. These are only valid for T-Mobile and my guess is it'll cause some problems if someone tries to buy apps with them on another network.
If someone can't figure out how to edit the xml themselves and change a single number, they probably shouldn't be messing with this to begin with.
Can these be put in a XAP ?

Good point, had a brain fart & didn;'t think these files might be courier dependent, files removed...
Actually, I'd really appreciate it if multiple people (different carriers in particular, I already have the OEMs) posted their PimentoCache XML files. I'm working on an app that will allow people to easily switch their Marketplace settings (OEM, MO, max download size, etc.).
GDTD - Let me get these files off my Verizon Trophy and I will post so you can add to your xap. I'm off for work so it may not be until later today.
Here are the VZW files. I already edited them for 200MB download limit.

Since we're restricted to Internet Explorer, I figured I would try to find some ways to make it a little more tolerable. These are the changes that I've made, and for me its made my Internet Explorer a little faster. Your milage may vary.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage, issues, plagues, fires, diarrhea, or any thing else that may result from using these tips!
Be very careful when editing the registry. If you don't know how to edit the registry, you may not want to attempt those tips.
Now that that's out of the way, here's what I've done:
Diable Automatic Configuration
Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings. Uncheck all the boxes under Automatic Configuration.
Change Cache Size
Tools > Internet Options > General > Settings > Set space to use to 50
* You may want to increase this depending on your browsing habits. I wouldn't exceed 250mb.
Set Homepage To about:blank
Tools > Internet Options > General > Type about:blank in the homepage address.
* Not having to load a homepage every time you launch IE makes the app launch time lower and decreases the time it takes for IE to become responsive.
Disable Accelerators
Tools > Manage Addons > Acceserators > Disable Everything
Use Tracking Protection
Tools > Manage Addons > Acceserators > Tracking Protection > Get a Tracking Protection List online > in the new window add in a few of the more popular lists.
* This also blocks advertisements, so if its blocking ads on some of your favorite sites (like xda) be sure to donate to those sites.
Increase Connection Limit
Locate the following key in the registry:
* If your browser puts a space in MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER make sure you do not enter it when making/editing the key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:
Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
Locate the following key in the registry:
* If your browser puts a space in MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER make sure you do not enter it when making/editing the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER
On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:
Value name: iexplore.exe
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
* If your browser puts a space in MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER make sure you do not enter it when making/editing the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER
On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:
Value name: iexplore.exe
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reboot your device after making these changes so they take effect.

Got any additional tips? Let me know.
Thanks will give this a try :good:

Let me know how it goes or if you need any help.
Fantastic guide. Thanks
is there anything to speed up loading of pages when using the back button?
Helps a little, thanks. My Surface is still excessively slow on my bridged connection. Weird because my laptop works fine and it's connected to the same bridged router. No idea whats going on.
I heard that if you use the back button vs swiping the page reload issue is minimized. I understood it to be a bug in IE.

I suggest about:tabs, which makes a nice speed dial page and is also offline for speed.

According to this, this only increases the number of simultaneous file downloads, maybe you should clarify that. The default for IE8 is 6, this should really be enough. Increasing this probably won't improve site loading times.
I need an app to monitor battery charging and auto send sms texts to another mobile when level reaches a low or a high battery %.
It's actually several Apps out there which sends sms alerts on battery low, but it turns out that no developers are interested in adding the upper limit alert to their function, because Google has "banned" such auto sms sendings and wont allow them on the Play store.
But for my privat use i dont care about Google policies. So, a stupid question.. what are the chances of doing this myself, either adding the missing feature to an existing app or make a new one? I'm a former Delphi Object Pascal programmer, but I dont want to use weeks to set it up for this little task. I've seen there are some graphical "simple" tools to make Android apps without coding, but is it possible for this task?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Android apps are coded in either JAVA or Kotlin.
I would decompile an existing app, add the missing feature, then re-compile it.
BTW:
The default SMS limit values of 30 messages within a span of 30 minutes is something that OEMs or carriers themselves can change before they sell the device to you. By default though, Google has set it to 30 messages in a 30 minute period but it’s very easy for anyone to change if device's Android is rooted:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "settings put global sms_outgoing_check_max_count <WHATEVER_NUMBER_YOU_WANT>"
adb shell "settings put global sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms <WHATEVER_TIME_FRAME_IN_MS_YOU WANT>"

Sounds like a feasable task to do. What's the most "minimalistic" decompile/edit/compile tools I could try?
