Speed up Windows Mobile 5

Windows Mobile 5 gives us some important new features including persistent storage. I can tell you that the performance issue is solved by doing the following:

  • If you are not comfortable with editing your registry you should not do so, just wait for the next version of Tweaks2k2*

Using a registry editor such as PHM RegEdit and lookup and change the following three values:

PHM RegEdit can be downloaded at: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096)

Be sure to choose Tools>Exit in order to have the settings applied to the registry and then turn off your Windows Mobile device, don't reset yet! You have to do this because WM5 keeps some things in RAM and by cycling the power it will write to ROM.

Now, soft reset your device.
