Settings for better performance: Android

Settings for better performance and battery life:
Settings checked for Motorola Backflip - Cyanogen Mod 6 - 2.2 Froyo - beta2. For others please find similar settings in your phone.

Goto Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Performance Settings.
Set your Max CPU frequency to 691Mhz.(any higher will result in random reboots) . 
Select "Set on boot".

Goto Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Disable Compcache RAM Usage - Uncheck "Use JIT".

Make sure "Enable surface Dithering" is unchecked.

Check "Lock home in memory"

Check "Lock messaging app in memory".

If using JIT, set "VM Heap Size" to 16m. (the lower the faster, though if you plan to run games and heavier apps you would want to have this set to at minimum 16m)


Note: These are tested settings. Do not blame me if your phone doesn't listen to you ;)
Most of the content from XDA.

OPTIONAL: (for better battery life)
Settings - accounts & sync - you may turn off background data or even manage your accounts by removing unnecessary sync.

Tip: Can turn off the data connection when not required (night / working hrs) using power control widget.

Do post your comments if any doubts or if you think you have discovered something new.

  1. Hi Summet,

    I'm having trouble flashing ROM.

    installing custom recovery ends with:

    #flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
    usage: flash_image partition file.img
    #

    after this I start the recovery mode, but i'm getting that traingle, so i followed the steps you suggested others. pressed the key just above back button, it showed me two options of

    Reboot (menu+back)
    wipedata/factory reset (Alt+W)
    After this i wiped out my data.
    I again repeated this whole process but still i am getting same problem i.e after pressing down button its showing triangle with yellow exclamatory mark inside it.
    Please guide me.
