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

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

I have stopped using Voodoo because I really did not notice any change when using it. My phone does not have any noticable lag except when I am using Zeam launcher and I want to go back to the home screen then it lags. This happen if I use Voodoo or not. It lags once in a while also when I am opening some applications; this is with or without voodoo do I don't see the point of enabling voodoo since enabling it puts me at risk of soft-bricking my phone incase I forget to disable voodoo when installing a new ROM.
Please comment if you notice this too.

same with me here lots of people say they lag on stock. I never did.
I still use voodoo because I'll end up flashing a rom with it auto enabled and its back. It does make me feel its faster than rfs tho
EXT4 is a MUCH faster file system... you would notice it more opening/closing apps and switching back and forth. It's not a HUGE change.... but when I go back to non-voodoo after being used to it, I absolutely notice and proceed to go back to voodoo. Nobody can deny EXT4 is not a better file system than the dinasaur on the Vibrant.
I think, Voodoo/EXT4 is great file system improvement. I active use FeedR RSS reader in conjunction with browser and quickly switch between rss reader and browser. Without Voodoo my vibrant was very laggy.
am I using it?
I recently (couple of weeks ago) flashed Bionix ROM. Am I using Vodoo with ext4 filesystem? Where do I check?

Yes you are.
Boot into recovery and look if the lagfix is enabled.
Voodoo toggle is an app that helps noobs out in this regard also.
Its not that big a difference anymore with the last few leaks. I do notice the difference when I do a restore from Ti backup though. You only really see out when opening apps. Once you are in an app it makes no difference.

I purchased my Vibrant back in July.. The lag isn't there initially.. it takes a couple months of heavy use before the lag starts kicking in on stock.
Its almost as if the file system gets defragmented.. it becomes worse and worse over time.
So no, its not something you'll notice immediately, you'll have to keep the phone stock for a couple months before you start noticing the slowed performance.
I tried task killers and resource monitors before I found out that it was a massive problem (I wasn't the only one that noticed)
Voodoo literally made the phone brand new.. to an extent.. it actually made the phone better.
You won't see it so much in the UI (KB1 is very snappy even with rfs), but you will see it in app load times. You know where else it's noticeable? Doing batch restores with Titanium.

i notice very much the difference between rfs and ext4 when the phone starts and does the media scan and titanium backup/restore.

Not quite... Voodoo affects filesystem I/O speeds (reads and writes). As a user, you do not necessarily know from one moment to the next whether your activity at the phone is causing data to be written to or read from the file system (for a phone, the storage is flash ROM, of course). Operations that cause such activity will be dramatically speeded up.
Keep in mind, though, that at the point when Samsung fixes their filesystem, Voodoo will have become redundant. That has not yet happened. Voodoo color, sound, etc. will continue to be relevant, however.
Massive difference here. If you come from the more responsive/instant platforms like the iphones and Windows phone 7, you get a really short tolerance for split-second lags and jagged animations.
It makes the biggest difference when multitasking a lot and using many widgets.
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.

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.

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.

+1 to this question?
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 ?

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
Nexus 7 32GB is my first android device. Before I bought it, most people were saying that android is finally smooth, project butter and so on. But that's not the case here. I'm on 4.2.2 stock, have currents sync disabled, my storage is only half full, and my Nexus is starting to get on my nerves.
- screen rotation takes exactly 4 seconds, no exception.
- apps sometimes freeze, forcing me to force close them or even reboot occasionally.
- even some simple games, like Dragonvale, run like stop motion in certain segments.
- when I install ANY app, it seems that android service responsible to put icon on my home screen takes 100% CPU time for 10-15 seconds or so.
- when there are app updates, my nexus is unusable. Takes 10+ seconds for any action.
Say what you want about windows phone, but that thing flies. Am I maybe spoiled by it's buttery smoothness so android by comparison irritates me, or is there really something wrong with my Nexus? I already did hard reset once, early on. It did not help. Should I try again? If so, what backup solution is the easiest?
I know I might be asking a lot and that there are threads about this already, but info is scattered, and there are numerous contradicting opinions and advices. Basically I am just not sure if this is how it's supposed to be, or should I try something.
The lag after installing app is there because of R/W being made to internal memory. App's icons on homescreen are being placed by Play. You can disable it in it's settings. But the rest sounds like a rouge app. Are you sure this lag is there even after fresh system installation?

Root, get Franco, disable fsync, enjoy.

How do I detect a rouge app? Task manager? Can you recommend one?
It was slow to start with. Disabling currents sync did not help. And I did do reset in the first few days. Did not help.
Now, it's just even more slower. Perhaps by as much as 50% in some actions, if I can put a number on a subjective impression.

Rooted, don't want to mess with kernels and ROMs, what's fsync?
While I'm at it, I rooted with wugfresh rootkit, worked flawlessly, but I can't install adaway. Any thoughts?

Well if you want better performance... ROMs and kernels are the things to mess with.

You should probably flash a ROM/kernel for best performance. But if you still don't want to mess with ROMs, reflash the stock rom and reroot it. That's what helped me.
I've had some issues with my phone lagging during/after app update, and i've only recently nailed down the culprit. Turns out it was the Root Uninstaller app that was making backups of older versions of the apps during the update, it ceased after i turned off the option in it's settings (or just uninstall). My guesstimate would be that you have some app that is doing just that. Because my own n7 doesn't noticeably lag even if i try to update many (as much as 10) apps at the same, which usually kills my single-core SGSL into a reboot shortly after trying this.
I think 4.2 is just buggy. It flies for me sometimes and on some devices, and sometimes it crawls horribly. Maybe the next android version will fix this, maybe not

This helped me a little (If you don't use Currents then this could help)
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All (swipe right 2 times) > Currents
2. Click "Force Stop"
3. Click "Disable"
It should be now fixed for some of it. Like the earlier posts suggest, maybe reflashing stock ROM or installing a kernel (once you're comfortable) will help for sure.
It seems messing with kernels and roms is the best way to do it.
And even though I'm asking this on XDA, I'm not really comfortable with that, especially considering that I've come across the word "bricked" many a times. Especially since I have almost two years of warranty left.
I'll give it a thought and see if I'll go along. It depends how irritating the lag becomes. But by the looks of it, I'll end up with a windows 8/blue tablet next time around, when the next gen silicone from AMD and Intel is ready. I'm much more comfortable with windows environment.
AW: [Q] Is Nexus 7 supposed to be this way? (laggy)
If you're having a lot of apps installed you can get ram problems. Some apps are running in the background even if they don't need to. If you wanna know which apps those are simply go to apps and swipe to the second panel. There you can see which asps are running in the background .You should delete them. If you don't want to do that simply download the app Greenify
(You should have more than 200mb free)

Entropy generator, I just use pimp my ROM, even on stock rooted.

Get rid of your Nexus and buy a bloody surface then?
In regards to your question, if you've Rooted but cannot install Adaway then it seems you haven't rooted correctly.
This may be the source of your issues.
As explained before, factory reset, re-root and then if you really wanna see it fly take our advice.
A good start is Paranoid Android and Faux123 Kernel (I've been using this combo since I bought my nexus, and yes I've tried other combo's I just can't stay away). Paranoid is an epic ROM, and IMO Faux cannot be beaten. He finds the absolute perfect point between performance and battery !!.
Unless you seriously can't follow directions you won't brick your device. People throw that term around when they are far from bricked. Just make sure you understand the steps of anything you are doing and use good sense. If things go sideways, don't just start doing things blindly. Research the problem you are having, and ask for help if you need it.
But you shouldn't have to run a custom rom to get smooth performance. Like has been suggested I'd go back to stock. Root, and add things back as you need them. See if it runs smooth with only a basic set of apps installed.
Your N7 will be fastest on a custom ROM/kernel. But it should be perfectly usable on a stock setup.

RT is a joke, and PRO is too expensive and has awful battery life. I'll wait and see how temash and baytrail turn out to be. But that's besides the point, since I'll still keep nexus as an ultra-mobile device.
In any case, can I backup all the data, reset, and get EVERYTHING back, or will I need to do something manually? I'll definitely try to reset/re-root.
But I don't see what I did wrong. I mean, I can install every app on the market that requires root

Ok, I'll try it. First with reset.
But also, my nexus is usable, it's just not pleasant to use.

It honestly shouldn't lag like that. Even bone stock.
One thing you can do right away is go into developer settings (click 7 times on Build Number in About Tablet to enable) and change all animation settings to.5 or to none.
DL Root Checker, or just try to use any root app to see if you actually do have root. Even with the wonderful toolkits (which will also save your bacon if you get into a bootloop) getting root to stick can be tricky...you may have to run it a couple of times.
But the best results will come if you flash a custom rom and kernel. if you like a tweaked stock experience, try CleanRom Inheritance. It uses the Aroma installer, so it's very easy and customizable. It can be found under Android Development.

You can use titanium backup. It there others like carbon. But titanium has been around the longest and it's my preferred way. Requires root, and it should warn you at start up if you aren't rooted correctly.
I would do as others suggested and just restore basic apps after factory reboot and re root. Then slowly restore others to see if you notice other problems along the way.
Also, if you didn't know. You can install kernels without wiping tablet and changing the whole Rom. I would definitely try that eventually too.
One more thing to note. Don't judge android on chrome (not that you mentioned it, but I know a lot of newbies have). It's one of the slowest browsers. It has tons of great features which I love, but do slow compared to most others. I wish I wasn't so addicted to its syncing.
Thanks to everyone on advices.
1) root checker says I do not have proper root. Now that I think about it, I did update my Nexus 7 from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I guess that also removed root.
2) I will reset. I don't really have any messages or photos or app data that is not already in the cloud that I need to backup.
3) I'll try to gradually install everything app by app to see if it's a rouge app.
4) I'll than revive this thread with my results. Though I doubt I'll get to doing all that in the next few days.
Again, thanks everyone!
