Kernel/OS Tweaks for most/all ROMs - Thunderbolt Android Development

Bringing my work over from DX/D2 world.
Applying the zip (via Clockworkmod) will do the following:
1) Tweak build.prop
2) Super aggressive file system and page caches - TB has lots of RAM, let's use some of it
3) Enables Cron, along with a cron job that purges filesystem/page caches 3AM every morning.
4) Disables logger/logcat
5) More aggressive minfree
6) Installs bash
7) Enables tmpfs for /tmp
8) swap support
9) A few other minor kernel/OS tweaks.
These mods will hopefully make your phone run faster, longer, and more stable. A good majority of the DX/D2 folks that tried my zip noticed the difference. Some of you will, some of you will not.
The zip can be flashed on all ROMs including stock (the same zip can also be flashed on DX and D2). After flashing the zip be sure to reboot one more time!
More information/changelogs can be found here. And there are a couple of rather large threads on droidforums and droidxforums. My mods are also currently incorporated into the latest versions of Apex and will be included in Liberty v2.0 when it comes out. Enjoy....

I'm sure I speak for all devs to be happy to see logcat disabled... /sarcasm.

Understand. Re-enabling it is super easy - just a quick file edit and a reboot away.

Easy for me...but you gotta think of them too.
A few questions:
What is the aggressive filesystem? I'm not seeing the tweak.
Where is the build.prop?
How are you loading the two modules you included without insmod? No script I see is insmodding them.
The zipalign tweak cant be called without the script file.
Overclock...well...
We don't have all the cron stuff you are calling, like /data/cron
It looks like you left a ton of stuff that wont work for us in your scripts. Not criticizing, just informing.

Well if I may, I consider myself a dev too. Anyway as for the logger, there are tremendous I/O being done to the device. Especially if there are misbehaving apps. Since users never look at logcat, by disabling it there should be some performance improvement without any ill effects.

It's in /data/imoseyon/sysctl.conf. Aggressive filesystem and page *caches*. I have a few articles on this subject on my blog - http://imoseyon.com
Where is the build.prop?

You mean where's the tweak? It's part of updater-script but the actual script is in /data/imoseyon/enableimosey.sh

Well the thing about building a universal zip for all TB/DX/D2 ROMs is that not all the files are going to be utilized by all the ROMs.
If you examine the scripts closely they are commented out. I left them in there as examples if anyone wants to tweak things further. As for the modules, i forgot to take them out - they were for interactive governor which i'm not supporting anymore.
We don't have all the cron stuff you are calling, like /data/cron

Well my zip provides that.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I unzipped it again, and thar it be. Didn't see the data directory the first time, hence the confusion.

cool, i dunno how noticeable the performance tweaks are going to be. TB is already so darn fast.

I ran the zip.....then went terminal and typed
bash /data/imoseyon/checkimosey.sh
to check and it says tweaks not enabled....ideas?

So by disabling the logs from being drawn on misbehaving, in theory the lag from a FC or malfunctioning app will be a little bit less because of ur tweaks now? I understand the rest but not a dev like u or adynalyne...so I didn't even know log drew much.

You got it mostly. Even well behaved Apps log a tremendous amount. So in theory disabling logger will save cpu cycles as well as i/o, which lead to better speed and battery life.

Sysctl tweaks are not enabled!
Crond is not enabled!

One or more mods not enabled. I suggest that you run the enable script manually to fix it. "sh /data/imoseyon/imoseyenable.sh" and then reboot.
I did this and still get the same thing...

Yeah! Mine says "Everything is good!" I am running basic debloat. I am so glad to see you over here. Your work made my DX run amazingly fast. I can already tell a difference.

Will any of adrynalynes tweaks interfere with these or vice versa?

You guys should check out this script V6 SuperCharger !! HTK & BulletProof Launchers!
I'm not sure that many of you know about this script... I recently ran into it.
XDA Thread Link. It's called V6 Supercharger. If you wanna read all the nitty gritty go for it. I'll just tell you what to do for those that just wanna jump to it. It is developed for the Milestone, but memory configuration works about same.
Get this file right here and rename it so as to remove the .txt extension (it was added to allow upload on XDA).
Now move that file into your SD card.
Open up [or first download if needed] Script Manager.
Run the script that you have in your SD card, and be SURE to check 'Run as Root' as WELL as 'Run at Boot'.
When the prompt comes you can read the different presets there are. However, I strongly suggest going with just typing 2 and press enter. It will fix your current memory groupings and put your default launcher as priority 0 with apps and stuff at 2 [meh not exact but something like that].
Then it will tell you to reboot after all the scrolling of text. Do, so. I swear I don't ever get a single lag spike anymore.
THANKS zeppelinrox
(I had nothing to do with this script, just referring you guys to it).
This sounds pretty awesome, has anyone successfully tried it on the EVO, and does it truly make a difference?
I'm trying it now...we'll see

I wonder if this will fix the launcher lag on Virus ROM B .1.1 someone try it out and post back results.
Yeah, I'm interested in the Launcher part, because regardless of Android version or rom, ADW and LP always freeze on me whenever I restart the phone.
It typically fixes itself after a force close so it's a not a huge issue, but it'd be nice to get rid of it.

not sure but my miks 4.6.2 launcher seems to stall and lag since doing this :/
and its telling me it can't reboot my phone i had to do it manually .. dont think some of the settings took or something
Messed up my stuff a bit. Had to undo. Oh well.
End of line.
Although sense seems to be smooth on the kingdom port after running this script my apps seem to be really laggy. Like the Xda app, when I'm scrolling it studers a lot. I'm pretty sure it had a little lag before running the script but i don't believe it was no where near as bad as it is now. Is there any way of undoing it without reflashing the ROM? Thanks.

Running CM7 Stable. Seemed to increase speed/smoothness slightly, but may be more noticeable on Sense.
I uninstalled Autokiller before executing.

are you sure you checked off 'Run as Root?
read throught the OOM (out of memory) mappings within the script and try a different memory range. I would say try option 1 or 3 then... But there are 3 others with less aggressive groupings.
Hey...when does this have to be run again?
Obviously not after reboots, after wipes??, after flashing??
How do U check that it is in place?
thanks

Good question, I'd think if you only wipe the caches it would still be there but that's just a guess. Won't hurt to run it again though.

V6 SuperCharger Memory Fixer

Not sure if anyone has seen the following Script that @zeppelinrox has made but I have tried it on my Evo 3D and Transformer and it works great! No more home screen reloads!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I run it on my 3d and my wife's evo 4g, but I haven't tried it on the transformer yet. I'm gonna have to try it. It works wonders on my wife's evo but doesn't make a huge difference on my 3d. I also tried the 3g booster and kick associated kernel tweaks but It ended in freezes and reboots that deleting the script's wouldn't fix. I never tried just using one of those 2 scripts to see what was the problem, I just restored a backup. I know the 3g tweak didn't help those cuz after multiple speed test it was the same or slower than before.

Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940
and follow the steps starting @ Step 1.
When you get the script running there are like 10 choices to choose from. I did choice #6
Thanks I think I git it running before this post but not sure the impact of my option. I chose 2, which was no waiting or something like that. Not sure if it harms anything but I haven't seen a home screen redraw.

I think that option is for the actual script run speed, so you can read the print-out. After that are the actual 17 choices of the script. I could be wrong about the 0/1/2/3 option, but I think it's just to let you select how fast you want the script to actually run and print.
Just applied this today on my TF, used option 6 as well, not really sure what the effect is yet as I didn't really have problems to begin with.
i use option 8 and it feels faster with dock especially
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
At best this does nothing to improve your TF. In actuality it screws with the way android handles app management. Its likely to create more problems than it "solves"
And because the "dev" of this script requested.....I did install this and had to wipe and reinstall my rom to get rid of the mess it made.
Closing this - NO need to spam the board by placing this in each and every device you can imagine. This belongs in Android Software/Hacking as it's not device specific.

[UPDATED] V6 Supercharger NEW UPDATE!!! (beta, but not really)

Just in case you weren't aware, zeppelinrox recently pushed out update9 for his inSANE Supercharger script.
It adds a few cool new features, 1 being the Nitro Lag Nullifier, which many claim increases their phone speeds even MORE than the fixes in Update8. I just tried it a little while ago, and noticed my phone loaded up quick and apps open even quicker now.
Also includes an Engine Flush feature that gives you a quick boost, just like the one you get after you reboot and notice all that extra freed up RAM. Does the same thing w/ No Reboot.
ALSO included is LOCKING ANY APP IN MEMORY, which is definitely useful for many. (haven't tried it yet).
Here it is ladies and germs --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15948434&postcount=1127
I love these scripts this is the first one I tried on ec05 and wow. Fast and smooth
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Make sure you reboot your phone at least once a day if you do the Nitro Lag Fix or Engine Flush. It works very well at first but it may cause lag without reboots

I have been jumping around so much that I may need to review but I believe it is a Cache flush and without reboot once a day (it says it when you run the script) it builds up and causes lag. I didn't experience it because I battery swap once a day. My friend did and yanked the script

That seems to make sense, thanks for the info. I've also been noticing my scheduled titanium backup hasn't been running each morning (04:00am) like it's scheduled to.
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the script as well, or if it's something else. I originally had the script on option 9, then just the other day I changed it to 6, a more balanced setting. I may just remove it completely and see if the backups start to happen when they're supposed to.
The SMS backup I have set to run runs when it should, without fail. I was thinking that maybe the script was killing TB, but since the SMS backup is working, maybe that's not the case?

I think you are dead on here. I pulled it for the same reason last week. I added it back yesterday though. I dont know what determines the priority of app killing but I notice certain things getting killed myself. I may have to dig into this some more because I am testing a kernel and I dont want any conflicts that I could possibly say is kernel related when its not.

Why don't you try using the new option to make any app "Bulletproof" on Titanium? That should do it if it works as advertised.
Otherwise, choosing a less aggressive option than option 9 (especially option 6) should do the trick. I also stay away from the MegaRAM options myself...too hardcore. I feel like a smartphone is meant for multitasking, and this script, if you use it right, makes it even better.
Try running options 2 and 11. Those have been working great for me since I started using them. I used 6 at first, but 2 is just a little more aggressive without really noticing it, so it's more effective. Then 11 just for kicks lol..does no harm

@JC - I just pulled it off myself, to see if it will run tomorrow morning.
@Franky - How do you enable an app to be 'bulletproof'? I have looked around a bit, and haven't found it yet. I may give that a shot, or just set it to different settings using the script as well. I'll certainly take yours into consideration.

couldn't tell you...i haven't used it myself. all i know is that there's an option for it when u run the script. I ran it to see how it worked, and it just detects the apps currently running and allows you to lock any one of them in memory. Not sure how/if it works
I am looking for an app that you can freeze apps that start by themself. Does Titanium Pro cause the phone to trip out or reboot? When I use Bloat Freezer I get the random vibrations and an occasional reboot. I have Autostarts, Bloat Freezer,etc...what do you guys recommend? Sorry for being off topic

Simple steps to a super stable and fast SGS2 Android Phone

Okay, I may not have 1xxx number of posts, but I read, search, and try. If you're going to judge me from my number of posts, please grow up.
Aside from that, I've tried a **** load of configurations on my SGS2 since I got it in January(2012).
Including but not limited to:
Siyah Kernel, all kinds of mods, and configuration sets from various great tweakers out there, such as MagicPrefs and others.
N.E.A.K kernel, Dream Kernel by team Sky Fire, Dorminax, and many, many others.
I've tried many roms, Stock, CheckROM, Hydrogen, AOKP, CM7-10, etc.
After all of that mixing, matching, testing and using, I've finally come to a conclusion on the perfect build, that makes your phone super fast, stable as a rock, and best part is, it takes minimal tweaks. I've noticed the more "tweaks" I've loaded my phone with, the more, uh..funny it gets in terms of compatibility and issues down the road. And remember, tweaks don't necessarily mean improvement. At some point, I couldn't keep a phone log for more than a few days from the amount of flashing and changing I did..
So here it goes.
At the time of this writing,
ROM
cm-9-20120819-NIGHTLY-galaxys2
Start clean of course, wipe everything and install.
Kernel
Stock (the one that comes with the ROM above)
If you want to tweak the kernel or something, use the built-in Performance menu. I usually use ondemand/conservative on 200-1200. When I need super battery saving mode which is rarely, I go down to 200-800.
Tweaks
V6 SuperCharger
This is where all the magic happens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16635544#post16635544
For the installation, it may seem overwhelming with the weird structure of information that tries to appeal to the advanced and novice, but its really simple(and friendly ). I suggest skipping the step one, the one that says about installing fixed su binary, and the whole "Super Charger Starter Kit" I tried it and it messed up my Super User instead, go straight to installing the script, works wonderful.
Other small tweaks which don't change the performance per say, but if you like a fast reactive phone, I recommend you try this:
In developers menu, set all the Animation scales to 0.5x from the default 1.0x. It simply speeds the animations. And if your launcher supports animation speed adjustments as well, such as Nova Launcher which is what I use, use Fast animation settings as well.
DPI
Many of us like to change the DPI, I recommend 213.
Why? Its the same as the Nexus 7, meaning you wont have to go through funny hoops to get Google Play Store working, and its decent, not too big nor too small.
Tip
If you hold the phone with the left hand, you're blocking the wifi chip antenna which is located in the bottom left of the phone. Try using a right hand grip on the phone when you're low on signal strength.
Use the app GetRIL app, it will suggest a matching Modem with your network for your phone.
Thats all. If I'm to sum the past 8 months of experience into one super knowledge of ultimate wisdom, this is it. No funny weird bugs. No 50 million kernel tweaks that don't seem to be doing much other than making the phone more unstable, etc. Only thing I miss is having a volume boost. I keep Voodoo Louder for that, but of course Siyah's built in free volume boost is great.
From here on, its preferable you know what you want in terms of apps. install what you need only. Nothing more, nothing less. If an app seems problematic, freeze/uninstall it.
And really, enjoy your phone. Forget flashing a new build every 6, 12 hours, or day or two depending on how severe your case of flashing is, and use it as its meant to be used.

Yeah I got slightly confused and overwhelmed at first too. All you gotta do really after installing CM9 is:
Download SManager
Download the V6 supercharger script from his thread, and rename it to end with ".sh" and place it in your internal storage root
and thats all the files you need. Use SManager to run the script with the su button on.

I've been using it since my sgs days. IMHO, it gives you boost. Some devs actually use the sqlite script which is also present in supercharger. Any rom can use the script. You have to run the script. However, if you have super su installed it may break its binary which could give you issue. But I think it can detect whether you have super su and it will abort the su binary installation. Believe me your phone will fly.

Supercharger plays around with minfree values and hence it's effective on phones with less RAM. GSII comes with 1GB which is more than enough for ICS or JB.

It does more than just that, but regarding the RAM, you can't really have enough RAM. 2 GB would obviously be better than 1.
The other day I was playing Dungeon Defender Second Wave, and I got a call while I was playing, so I hung up and guess what? The game exited. My brothers S3 (2GB ram) can handle that no problem.
So I tried this with Thunderbolt script with LMK set to 60MB I think, and I was able to multitask the game and a phone call, while still on the same hardware.
Jeezuz! How can anyone understand what to do?
The OP of V6 Supercharger thread is just a fragmented mess off different things, why is it not just simple?
Usual XDA members, think everyone knows everything about phones or you're a lazy sod who can't be arsed to read.
Well I have tried to get it working and read the complicated mess and after I tried to install starter kit which aborted, so then tried running main script like OP said he did, through script manager, said busy box needed updating and took me to site, installed it, ran again, still problems with busy box???

Download the supercharger starter kit then download script manager from play store. Open the script manager with su permission. Browse the folder supercharger kit from sdcard. The kit should be copied into the internal not to the external card. From the kit folder run the startmeup.sh with su permission. Then follow screen instruction. If your rom has super su icon, you don't have to install the su binary. However, if you mis this portion during installation the process abort its installation coz the script is auto detecting of the su binary. Cheers mate after this restart phone and it will fly.
Thanks, but after all that, its put me off even more!
Why can it not just be a simple apk or zip that automatically does all this messing about?

v6 Supercharger on a stock rom

Is it even possible to install v6 supercharger on my stock rooted R800x? I tried to use the scripts to set it up and run it and it basically all bombed out and said access denied etc. The preparation script wouldn't install busybox, etc. Any tips?
Are you rooted?...I just installed this not 10 mins ago and its working fine..unless someone beats me to it...ill find the tutorial I used and link ot here.
I also just did it manually, I didn't use that starter script.

Yeah I'm rooted, I tried the starter script and it said it was working but a lot of stuff said "permission denied" , i mounted system as RW and I gave it SU permission. Then I tried to run V6 and I got it saying a similar error and a warning that i shouldn't continue so I killed it.
ok, well I used this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334834
it may be a bit out of date on the GUis..like when its asking for run as root it is really an SU icon. but its straightforward.
and it worked just fine...let me know if its still not working for you, ill take screen shots and post them here if you are having troubles still.
i find it funny that when i started using this my endurance level on the GO power meter app went from 64 hours @ 100% batt and only the phone, and auto brightness before i used this up to a big jump of 99 hours..this was using the holo launcher, then i was trying the smart launcher and it dropped back down to 63 hours..just didnt make any sense..but i guess ill keep fiddling with the script until i find something that works.

I tried to do it this way and not only did it seem to not do anything, it gave me a bunch of errors as well:

Will try your way later when I get home.
You should use the SuperCharger "Starter Kit" first. I had similar issues with the Supercharger script and it was because I had a version of BusyBox that seemed to cause issues with the script.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
I also encountered an issue while installing this "Starter Kit". It seemd to have had issues getting access to the folder where I had the files. I moved them to the SD root and I was able to install it then. After that, I ran the supercharger script and it worked perfectly.
I am on a R800a with locked bootloader and Stock Rom.

Yeah thats the one I used sorry I'm an idiot. I think the R800x may behave differently.
In the link I put the post ler said to use 1.18.2 busy box seeing as the ones above that gave errors....so ifar I haven't had any problems.

Yeah I changed to 1.18.2 and that worked, thanks for the tips.
Next question, do I need to run that 99supercharge on startup? Everything goes by so fast and its all a bit confusing.
After installing the v6 script. Go to the /data section on the internal in the script manager and after all the folders there should be a script that relates to the v6..set that to run as root and run on boot and you should be set. Glad I could help.

V6 Supercharger settings on stock ROM ?
Hi there,
Anyone can tell me what setting options they use when running the V6 Supercharger script on a stock Sony-Ericsson 2.3.4 ROM ?
It is crashing on me here and I had to recover through ClockWorkMod...
I have a R800i XPeria Play by the way...
Thanks in advance,
Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far (dated from yesterday, ok... ), I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I made the same on other threads related to a similar subject.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings (script configured to run at boot as super-user) :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,

Not exactly true, that part only referred to the launcher status, you had the option to make it completely unkillable, which means that some intensive games just wouldn't run.
I myself am supercharged and it has no negative impact on gaming, so don't worry about using the script. I'm pretty sure I'm using the same values as you, and they work perfectly fine.

Oh many thanks !
I now understand the note appearing within the script.
For heavy gamers, the Hard-to-Kill launcher may even be better than the die-hard one... I should test this.
Anyway, I move to the 512hp unledded agressive settings to boost free ram available for my DeadTrigger and I am having great fun with almost no lag at all on a stock rom, stock kernel.
The fact I combined the V6Supercharger with the Bloatware remover for XPeria Play is helping a lot. Recommended !
Anyone knows what are the differences between the various Kernel options ?
I went for Rock and Roll Kernel as I didn't know if my kernel was stable enough for the Rockhard option...
Something I would have to test I guess...
Bye for now, :good:
I have stock rom and when i run the script i only get supercharge level at 50%, I even tried that patch jar thing and that does not work either
i get a message see owners guide and in that it says error 3 , i do not know what that is Can someone help me please
