Has anyone tried the SuperCharger in the thread below on the TFP? Was wondering if it would make a difference or only really matters on devices with lower RAM to start with. Any thoughts?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I tried it a while back...works, but doesn't yet integrate well with ICS, as it does on Gingerbread.
Fine for ICS... go to android.mimic.ca and supercharge your services.jar and set permissions

Interesting haven't seen that site before ... so basically go to the thread I listed in the OP, install the script, fun the ICS compatibility steps, then go to the site you listed and patch the services.jar file? Might have to try this, wish there were some real benchmarks out there to see what gains it gives.

Yeah it`s all explained in post 2 of the supercharger thread.
Install script, grab the patched services.jar, do step 8 (set permissions) of the tutorial in post 2

Nah... I`m stalking you LOL
Ok ... Ran the script, selected all recommendations, clean/rebooted, patched the services.jar, clean and rebooted, ran supercharger script again, now says I'm 100% supercharged.
Couple of questions at this point:
1.) Do I have to run the script every boot or periodically, or is it automated? I did this all with terminal emulator, didn't use the ScriptManager.
2.) There are a lot of options in the menu list( great to have options ) Anything else I should be doing in those options for selections above what is run by the script automatically( I did run the emisions to fix permissions just in case ).
3.) Not sure how to disable the two excepts from the OP in the script thread below on AOKP( or any other ROM before, never heard of these )
Code:
If you are using compcache and have lag or slow down after SuperCharging,
DISABLE compache, wipe caches and re-enable it.
Also make sure to uncheck/disable lock home in memory! (and leave it unchecked)
4.) How do I verify everything is all set, and running correctly after a reboot( or any other time I need )
5.) Does anything else have to be scheduled to run periodically? Does ScriptManager do scheduling, or do I have to add a cronjob or something.
Thanks for this, really thanks ... Look forward to testing the performance differences and letting fellow Prime users know what a great job the script dev did
EDIT: Script also says that I should use 1000HP but SuperWinFree Calculator Values are set so I'm "ok" should I enable the 1000HP settings from the script option to get better performance? Really want to milk what I can from this
If it was 100% supercharged without running 99supercharger manually, then it`s all set.
On ICS there is no lock home in memory option so don`t worry about that.
Same thing if you aren`t using compcache or zram.
You can verify everything just by running the V6 script just like you did before.
Script manager does do scheduling.. many do the detailing and engine flush and fix emissions via SM schedule.
You can go more aggressive but it may not bring any added benefit and only serve to unnecessarily hamper multitasking.
Just test with more aggressive and see if it`s snappier or not... though it likely won`t be lol

Hell, that is way too complicated especially for a stock odexed rom. So many steps and I don't have cwm. Otherwise it looks like it is worthwhile.
no need for CWM.
Maybe you can try deodexing the rom and use the mimic site.
Just leave it deodexed.
Or flash a custom rom

If you have a deodexed ROM it really isn't complicated at all, the OP in the thread looks like it has a lot of steps, but really 95% of it is all automated

So Do you mean the below ??
- deodexed the services.odex
- Drop the classes.dex to services.jar then upload it to mimic site.
- Download the modified services.jar file to /system/framework.
Will it work?
It is really pain my ass to go though all steps for the odexed ROMS.
Have anyone had a script or a simple step to modify the services.odex ??
I believe it is in WSG.07 I'm not sure though

That thread with the instructions is too poorly written....It's an assault of random words, some underlined, some bonded, some underlined and bolded with different font sizes. Can a normal human actually read through it and understand it? Jesus christ!
But it is included with the wsg rom.
@zeppelinrox
Thanks for the work. So basically this script changes Android's auto mem mgr (AMM) default minfree values, which are six numbers in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree. Is that correct?
You mentioned empirical testing for your chosen values for the Milestone. How do you determine what is optimal for any given device? Do you simply take percentages of the total available RAM?
For the DIY'ers, is your script the same as putting the below two commands into an auto-start script, using Script Manager?
echo "A,B,C,D,E,F" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
where A,B,C,D,E,F are "kill thresholds" set for each of six priority groups. Note: Values are in 4KB pages, so divide by 256 to convert to megabytes.
/system/bin/compcache stop

I didn't rehash anything.
I made a totally new wheel.
Nobody else has thought to rearrange the adjs grouping limits, ADJ priorities so that some items are more important than others and all that is in conjuction with minfree values.
Minfree values is secondary.
AKMO or AMM or other Minfree managers have always done that.
That's only the gas.
I rebuilt the engine.

Thanks for the note. I've skimmed through your script, and saw that you also write out the ADJ file (along with some other minor tweaks). Linux mem use isn't my forte, but the below explains it simply enough.

Rather than asking for further specifics, I'll just parse through the script. It's not complicated.

Thanks also for demonstrating your maturity level.

Need help finding an article I had read on fixing the Fascinates font pixelation. Pictures look awesome, but the fonts are a bit fuzzy, especially smaller fonts. I had read it just last week, but cannot find it in my history anywhere. Whatever they did really sharpened the fonts (at least in the screenshots). I am pretty sure it was about the Fascinate, but it may have been AMOLED in general.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, it has been a while since I have been on my Fascinate! I think Voodoo no longer supports color tuning though. My son is using my Fascinate right now with Devil Kernel and I think it supports color tuning through an add on program. I pulled the following from the Devil Kernel thread on the Fascinate. I will also check on my sons phone tonight to see if any of these work. Good luck!

If you read the whole thing, you would know that it also changes the virtual memory for each app. This helps with multitasking, exiting and closing apps, etc.
So, it does more than Autokiller does. For me its faster and it doesn't crash my phone or tablet so, I like it.

No idea what that means. Apart from the lowmemorykiller tweaks all I see it changing are some swap / cache write parameters (this are properties of the system vm space not each apps'), most of which is handled in the advanced tweaks section in autokiller. Not to mention the autokiller advanced tweaks also deal with polling parameters of services other than just memory management. It's the more complete, tried and tested solution.
did it on bonsai with CWM yea i dont notice it but doesnt hurt...
Just flashed ona stock, and rooted tab. Ui transitions are improved, but have yet to test serious multitasking.
Guys this will probably not offer any performance improvements considering the highest page size limit set is at 72MB. The GT10.1 has 1GB of RAM, I doubt the tiny low memory page limits set by this script will have any effect.
I would suggest more appropriate page numbers, but it would be better if you just used autokiller over modifying a script like this, it does the same thing but with a GUI like I have already mentioned in the thread. The only advantage this script may have is that settings apply on boot so it could potentially improve boot speed (which is insignificant to me atleast)
Hmm, and I immediately noticed a difference with more free ram. Before, and it would tank, and and slow everything up. I but maybe with that app or some tweaks it could be even better for us!

I would Highly Recommend this to anyone. Just installed it on My friends Photon. in the config we chose 2 for scroll speed, and 4 for Memory settings. The phone overall is much smoother, and webtop runs like PC, and is very smooth, it was a little laggy before the script
Note: We rebooted from the Script and the phone went into a boot loop, we pulled the battery and restarted the phone and it booted up just fine and was noticeably faster.

Zepp thanks for your continued support for the android community! I have been using v6 for some time now! With each update theres always some very useful goodies! And for those that claim it does nothing for your phone. Thats crazy. With 1gig and v6 I noticed a much more responsive phone! Im a performance freak and I have ran many tests to prove that v6 does make my mopho an even more brighter phone! So I am pretty sure of youre running the latest v6 script with everything corrected. You'll notice a major difference. And also if you're using a custom rom. Check in system/etc/int.d to see if theres pre ram/min scripts there. Delete them before running v6. And always check the.v6 script to see if it ran correctly.

I havent noticed a huge change in the homescreens, but web browsing and the webtop are smoother.
I think for higher ram devices, for the most part, it serves to smooth out everything by getting rid of glitches or stutters.
Also, over the course of time, no matter how many apps you run or load, it will always feel fresh and shouldnt ever lag.
Seems to make an noticeable improvement for me, snappy and smooth. Thanks zepp for taking it to the next level.

Same here. I was a bit apprehensive to run the script, as I've just started to wade into rooting my phone. (And running scripts, too)
But I'm happy to report that it really sped up my Photon's launcher.
FWIW, I'm running a stock ROM, rooted, with ADW as my launcher.
Smooth as butter, even with fairly intensive LWPs, like Bamboo Forest with all settings maxed out, and plenty of widgets running.

Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

This doesn't actually do that but you will see an increase in frames per second by adjusting the EGL swap interval. Unfortunately, this property has always had big issues with visual artifacts that made it useless to use.
I found it frustrating that we could obtain such a high FPS but plagued with issues. So I spent some time and found a new value. One that could actually work on all android devices. Instead of 1 for stock or 0 for modified. Here is the new value...
debug.egl.swapinterval=-60
A general description...
https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/sdk/docs/man/html/eglSwapInterval.xhtml
While other negative values may work, -60 brought the most bang for the buck when it came to benchmarks. I am truly excited about finding a way to make it work and although it's just a new value, I would appreciate if you could give me credit if using this property as it is the first time it will actually work the way we want it. This value didn't just fall from the sky. Certainly no need to ask for any permissions.
WAYS TO USE THIS MOD.
I figured many people would at least like to try this out so I made it as easy as possible for newer and more advanced users. The mod is actually really easy to apply. Simply add it to your build.prop file and reboot or use one of methods below.
METHOD 1.
Use the proper flashable zip to install into init.d so the mod is ready directly after a reboot.
METHOD 2. (recommended)
Use the proper flashable zip to install into /system/xbin and call upon it when needed and disable it when not needed.
INSTALLATION.
Method 1
version 1.1
1. Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603390

2. Flash in recovery.
3. After you reboot open Terminal Emulator and type the following without the quotes.
4. Type "su" and press the enter key.

To deactivate type "lockfps"
NOTE: You may need to toggle your screen off/on to fully activate the mod using method 2.
You will also need to activate the mod again after a reboot. The setting won't survive a reboot with method 2.

I have had people tell me battery life is better and some say it's worse. You be the judge and let us know.
Happy Flashing!
These zips will flash on any device, so If you have something other than an LG G3 you can try it. If you choose to try I definitely suggest using method 2. This way if you run into trouble all you need to do is reboot and the mod is disabled.
PLEASE!
IF YOU TRY THIS MOD ON ANOTHER DEVICE LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS!!
So far I have positive reports for Samsung and Sony devices.
thanks bro. gonna try it on my vs985
Installed on my D855 and it improves animation speed an in overall system fluidness. I'm using it in combination with LSpeed tweak and working perfect, for battery impact, if there will be one, will see after daily use. Thanks for this my phone is flaying, so to speak.

Yea. I thought it was only going to work in games and such but it seems to make everything a little quicker and smoother. Scrolling etc... I wasn't expecting that.
after installing unlockfps antutu score not bad, using darkknight rom.
getting around 42+++ on antutu as well. & yes, everything seem much snappier, considering i got shedloads of listview, ime & toast animations (xuimod/xposed, ftw!).
good example is gosms. starting the app uncached is almost instantaneous. then when i go to a long thread (conversations w/ wifey, go figure) i could really say that load time is quicker than before the mod. close to 1 batt cycle & i don't notice any unusual drain.
tried it on my T700 as well. i'm getting the same results, though antutu scores don't agree. didn't explode so far. btw, does enabling hw/gpu acceleration negate this? or is it the other way around?

I have "force gpu rendering" enabled. To boost 2d rendering but that's it as far as dev options.
If your talking build properties then I really don't know for sure.
Hey,
I use Methode 1 on newest BlizzPop at D855.
For First Time i can say...... Wow amazing. The Rom is very very fast with this Mod. No lags. Smooth and Fluid.
Now i hope the Battery hold.
Test right Now @ work.
Thx for your great Mod, work on it and your Time.

For me it seems improve phone and graphics in general, for games I don't know because I don't play games on it. So far didn't notice any heating up or any other side affect from this only improvements and also didn't notice any battery drain.
Working so far
Working great so far ! i also combined this with the CTT mod and the combination is killer so smooth the fastest experience ever!
lg G3 D850 AT&T
Rom : Blisspop v3.2 5.1.1 5/12/15
Kernel: 777 Kernel
flashed on vs985
This mod is amazing! the before and after is huge. My phone already felt really fluid but after installing this is flies--apps open instantly and animations are like butter.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Everyone needs to flash this because the difference it makes is amazing.
NVM!
I combined method 1 with Velocity set to 4300 and a few other tweaks to build.prop, and made this phone run like butter. Only place where I see stutter is on Facebook, but is better than before the mod.
Sent from my Ice Cold D850
Thx alot razz
I have d855 and tried it, method 1 didnt give me any change in antutu benchmark so i tried method 2 and benchmark gave 3000 points more
Both tests after reboot
Why was it locked in the first place?
is this different from the one found in hidden menu? the dynamic lcd refresh on/off - enable 60fps
Sorry for the stupid question... but do i need to add (after i flashed and activated (method2) ) "debug.egl.swapinterval -60" to build.prop ?

It wasn't. This mod is to adjust a swap interval. Not actually unlock anything.
People have just called it that in the past.

You don't need to add anything permanent to the build.prop file. These methods will do it on the fly for you.
Used method one and no longer have slight stutter in notification panel!! Now to try antutu
