Make your device work for YOU! Part I: Performance Tweaks
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This post marks the beginning of an 8 week series of various registry tweaks that can be done on your WM5/6 device. Some tweaks are just something to play around with during your leisure time and others will help you to bring out the hidden potential of your device.
In this first post I have put together few registry tweaks to help boost your beloved device’s performance. Just remember, in order to implement these tweaks, you will need a registry editor (i.e. Total Commander or PHM Registry Editor).
Disable Windows menu animation
This will improve performance by disabling unnecessary animation, thus less work for CPU.
- Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu]
- Change the value of “AniType” from 6 (default) to 0.
Increase Display Cache (Glyphcache)
This will Speed Windows Mobile Pocket PC application response and today plug-ins by assigning more memory to speed up PPC’s displayby assigning more resources to cache fonts and glyphs. However, this will take up a little system memory.
- Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
- Change the value of “limit” from 8192 (default)to 16384 or even 32768.
Increase Font Cache
- Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Systems\GDI\SYSFNT]
- Under CS change from original 0×0(0) to 0×4000(16384 Decimal value)
Boost Windows Mobile performance up to 20 percent
- [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] CacheSize = 4096 (Decimal Values)
- [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] EnableCache = 1 (Decimal Values)
- [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt] ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (Decimal Values)
This list is in no way complete, and I am sure that many of you probably have your own favorite performance enhancing tips (no HGH, please) So let us know how you have tweaked your device and how these, or any other, tweaks work out for you. Do you have any you would like to share? Please let me know how these tweaks worked out for you.
Next week, I will be introducing some fun registry tweaks that will modify how Messaging is utilized. Make sure to check back for them.

Create these directories:
\Storage Card\IECache\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\IECache\Cookies
\Storage Card\IECache\History
EDIT : Do not use the Temp folder on your storage card, this seems to get locked from time to time, which means your ppc starts to use the default storage aka your main memory.
In HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, edit the existing three registry entries (pointing \Windows\Profiles\guest\…) to match the folders you just created.
Thanks GBot,
I will make sure it gets included on IE portion of the registry tweaks when I’m ready to post them!
DongHoon Shin, I’m looking forward to this series of posts!
Thanks for the interest sprnwinkel,
I’m currently working on the next batch and hopefully will have it available soon!
I am also editing the registry on the SCH-i760, it uses the S3C2440 microprocessor so many things can be done. I too look forward to any help possible to open the doors, Thanks DongHoon Shin!…JASTECH
