    Q Speed Hack

    1) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
    change limit from 16384 to 32768
    2) Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATFS
    change cachesize to 4096


    Has anyone done this? I'm being cautious and would like to know if any of you guys/gals have tried this hack yet be fore I try it myself. It's supposed to increase the responsiveness of the Q.

    Why not just try it, you can always undo it. Worse case, the phone is unusable and you have to throw it away......hehe.

    Well I just tried both of these. Actually I set GLYPHCACHE = 65535.

    My Q is definitely responding faster. Windows display almost instantly now, instead of drawing partially, then the rest drawing, etc. Going back is instantaneous also. I think this is all due to the second tweak. Nice.

    The first tweak seems to have no effect on web page loading time however. I will play with this some more.

    Speed Hack

    It works!! Q is much quicker. I have the game folder with like 12 games in it and it had taken usually 10-15 sec. to open. Now takes just over 5 sec. ;-) Also deleting the temporary intenet files is super fast now. Only takes approx. 20 sec. instead of the 1-2 minutes of sluggishness. Even menus are popping up quicker, though I've noticed a very brief split sec blank screen before the new page comes on screen. (still faster) Everyone one should do this hack !!
