Hey folks,

Using Speedbooster 1.3 on my Moto Q. Gotta say 1.3 adds some amazing functionality and makes it a much better program.

So far no issues either.

Quick question:

1) After I'm done with the interface, do I let the program run in the background (e.g. just hit my Home Key) or do I hit "Quit"? Assuming I want the program to keep running of course...e.g. does the Interface need to be running for the program to work?

2) Similar to #1: do I need to launch the app after every-soft reset?

Thanks,

--Mal

Hello,

We are glad you like the new features.

1)Speedbooster contains 2 different independent modules, so if you stop the Speedbooster's interface(pressing "Quit"), the monitor(background running application) will be still running

2)Once started the Monitor will remain on until you turn it off from the interface, so even if you soft reset the device the tasks will be properly adjusted.

Cheers,
Meda

I've heard it's possible to use a bluetooth Mouse with my PDA?
I've found some info here regarding Blueinput, did anyone test this?

Thanks!

This is great. Glad you upgraded it to work this way. Testing now.

PostPosted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:36 pm    Post subject: Processor over-heating Reply with quote

Hi all,

After reading about this software on PocketPT forum (thanks, Raul Wink ), I was testing it last night.

I'm quite happy with it, so far, as i can see great improvement in some apps, like Web IS Pocket Informant opening my 1000+ contacts list, and performing a search, much faster, or Resco File Explorer opening a big folder, like "/Windows", much faster also.

While I was testing it, and because my battery was low, my Jasjar was on the charger, and I noticed some heating on the underside, where the battery is located.

As I've never noticed this before, I would like to know if this software overclocks the processor, as I think, and if yes, how would it affect the life period of the processor.

And about the battery, I think this software will drain it faster, but as someone made a comparative test?

TIA

Ok, Raul has answered my questions regarding overclocking (there is none), and now I understand how it works.

I'm keeping this software, and recomended to others, for sure, it makes some of my apps so much faster and responsive!

But I believe there is some space for improvements. Not on the technical side of it, as I don't know nothing about it, but as far as the interface is concerned, I think it could be (just a little) better:

On the main screen, with the list of running/monitored apps, you could make the "check mark/cross" clickable, instead of goingo to Menu > Monitor Entry/Unmonitor Entry or pressing the Action hard button.

The green and red dots, on the top left corner, could be easier to understand wich is active, making the other one more grey, for instance. And they could also be clickable, instead of goingo to Menu > Stop / Start Monitor.

Both options would be better if the screen buttons were clickable by a finger, making the software usable with just one hand, and no need for the sytlus.

As it's obvious, none of this ideas are of great importance, I think the program is great as it is! They would just make it a little more friendly to the user.

BUT, if any of this ideas takes much more of the device, please, leave it as it is, we all know how we need every little kb of RAM, to run our apps.

Post subject: Best choice for your Pocket PC!

Most of the users agree that using a Mobile Device is fun, but sometimes entering large amounts of text can prove to be a painful experience.

The small screen is the biggest issue, and unless someone comes with a innovative idea, the default software keyboard is barely usable.

To overcome some of these issues, you can use Fingertouch PRO. For your convenience, I've attached the CAB file here.



Just to name a few of its features:
  • fT9 predictive text input capabilities
  • Multilanguage support English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish including built in autocomplete dictionaries for all.
  • Configurable layout, including keyboard Skin, text font, size and color
  • Works with various screen heights, square, qvga, vga, etc
  • It supports 96x96DPI and 128x128DPI. TrueVGA compatible
  • Can be installed on SDCard to save storage space

  • And much more, NOW you can try it yourself.

    I believe the heating was caused by the charging process only.
    Speedbooster is safe for your processor, and will not shorten its life period. To go into some technical details, I can say that it works by adjusting the priorities of your running processes, so giving more or less CPU power according to your configuration.

    Regarding the battery, you were correct, giving more power to some of the processes, especially those that are running continuously, will consume more battery power (the extra performance must be justified somehow).

    Actually these ideas are of great importance to us. Thanks! We will optimize the interface in a future release and we will try to make it as compact as possible, in terms of kb RAM usage.

    Hy, Meda,

    So, I'm also correct in assuming that giving LESS power to some processes, I'll consume less battery power, and so, can run my Jasjar more time, before needing to recharge again?

    Best regards,

    vmiguel

    Hi,

    One more question...

    I use Spb Diary, one Today plugin, that does not have a EXE file, and does not show on progrmas list, in SpeedBooster. This application uses a dll.

    Is it possible to add a dll file to the SpeedBooster's list of monitored applications, and give it higher CPU priority?

    TIA

    vmiguel

    Hello vmiguel,

    Today plugins are loaded by shell32.exe, a system application, so in order to modify applications that have a today plugin you could modify shell32.exe, but note that by doing this all today plugins will be affected by this change(and many other system components), so it's not recomended.

    Ok, thanks, Meda.

    I'll skip that one, then, and wait for the 4 seconds that Spb Diary needs to present my data... Rolling Eyes

    Hello Mauriegio,

    How can you figure that the monitor is running? And also do you get any error messages when trying to run the interface?

    Thanks for the message,
