[Solved] How can I adjust my services.jar to change OOM priority of TWlauncher? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm having launcher re-draws like cray and it sets me up all the time. I'm facing it for over half a year and now I'm done with it.
Last monday I started figure it out what it could be. I did this earlier before but didn't found anything helpfull so I stopped searching for it. But now I want it to be fixed for good.
As I said, last monday I was busy figuring out what the problem is and tried some fixes like a piece of code from the supercharger script but that script only touches the standard launchers with standard names, it doesn't touch the TWlauncher. I also tried to change OOM priority with Auto Memory Manager and an init.d startup script but the launcher seems to be hard to touch. I tested the script on whatsapp instead of TWlauncher and the script is just working fine but TWlauncher seems to be hard to "teach a lesson".
So now I'm busy with decompiling SecLauncher2.apk and searched for some files that maybe reffer to interesting code but there are so many files in this apk. It's a chaos.
I asked things like this before in the Omega Jelly Bean thread here on this forum but everyone says I have to make a clean install. I did that every time when there's a new rom available so it doesn't matter. There are just to many services running in the background. But all the apps that are running on my phone are neccessary.
I hope there is a developer in here that can tell me some more about this. I really want to make it work.
I think I'm not the only one with the re-draw problem.

If u have root heres a much simpler solution
Install xposed framework, download app settings 1.5 module
Go to SecLauncher settings
And thick "keep in memory"
Solved my problem, never more had any issues

Thank you!
I installed Xposed Framework and the App Settings 1.5 module. But I don't got secLauncher in the app list. I got Touchwiz home instead (touchwiz start)(see attachement) but it has no option to keep in memory. Im running omega v49 with boeffla kernel 3.2.

services.jar patch works for any launcher.
It doesn't look for any process name - whatever is the default launcher is automatically protected.

I did not knew that "resident" means the same so now it's locked to OOM priority 0. Didn't have any re-draw so far.
And I did used supercharger script but still got the launcer re-draws. The script also says that com.sec.android.app.launcher is NOT the home launcher. I don't know why because I only have the standard launcher.
but it's fixed now!
Thanks !!!!

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.

Ran the script, honestly I didn't notice a change. I will keep my eye on it though.
Same here. Ran the script and didn't really notice a difference so far.

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.

Your last sentence is what brings me grief! I am using the updated script you mentioned in the previous post (1000hp) and my photon, when using WEBTOP, still gets that low memory warning...when I check my memory status, i have like 29mb left...and webtop is laggy...any suggestions?
BTW thanks for your awesome script!
I was gonna try this, but the directions are kinda all over the place and I don't really follow. So is there an actual benefit? If so, perhaps I'll sit down and try to figure out how to do this, thanks guys.

Do all settings stick?
The launcher is supercharged, the OOM groupings are in effect and the minfrees match?

MIUI 1.12.9 Fascinate/Mesmerize Rom UPDATE..12/13/11

This is a build ported from a vibrant setup, some tweaks that dfgas incorporated into the last few builds, some extra tweaks from here and there, and extended settings built in. It is very smooth and fast after letting it settle in for a bit.
Let me know how it is for you. You can wipe data or just cache and dalvik...I do all 3...enjoy.
Thanks to anyone that has a hand in developing for the fascinate / mesmerize...the list would be too long to write!
-as of 1.12.9...
-#911 issue fixed (thanks sbrissen, dfgas, & anyone else involved)
-modified default transparent lockscreen...live wallpapers show through lockscreen
-new 1.12.9 Fascinate link...
http://db.tt/enasc1vs
-new 1.12.9 Mesmerize link...
http://db.tt/LHY0AeKk
-as of 1.11.25...
-includes Glitch V13 kernel with working 3 button recovery (with updated screenstate scaling fix)
-new option of miui app drawer
-pick setup, then enable, wait a couple seconds for drawer to load up, then swipe down from top of screen slightly lower than status bar to pull down drawer (almost right at bottom edge of status bar)...takes a little getting used to swipe area as it is very small.
-new options of hiding signal bars and headset icons
-new option of appdrawer background color
-new "on the fly" statusbar layout switching (no need to refresh statusbar anymore)
-new options of autostarting appdrawer
-charging animation it top bar fixed
Here is a link to the v6 supercharger thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
I would suggest installing the latest supercharger script...http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=792186&d=1322022964 and the app script manager...http://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
Download both, change the supercharger scripts name from .pdf to .txt, install script manager, go into script managers options and turn on browse as root, then navigate to the directory you downloaded the supercharger script to within the app, click on it, select run as root, then run. Follow the scripts prompts, and as a suggestion, I use option 7. This makes the phone fly even faster at all times even with many apps open. I would have incorporated this into the rom, but the developer would rather you visit the thread to get it.
Downloading now. Thanks!
First impressions:
(Background: Wiped all three from "mounts and storage" menu)
Appears to be based off of MIUI Android (UK port of MIUI) as opposed to MIUI.US. Not sure what diffferences (if any) apply other than the bootani and background. Amiright?
Extended settings built-in is quite awesome.
Noticed MiuiCompass wasn't in there (but DSP Manager was...awesome again). Attached in case you don't have the apk and want to add it in the future.
MMS sent over 3G on first try.
I am not sure which market you bundled with it, but I always go in and remove marketUpdater and add back in the old vending.apk. (This isn't a criticism, just something I do that might be good to know in case I have future issues that may be caused by that mod...I know I am probably rare in liking the old market.)
So far so good. Now I just need to grow a pair and figure out how to swap kernels in the zipfile so I can throw Glitch v13RC1 in there; at which point I'll truly have my "Flash one-and-done".
Great work, Rick S. Can't wait for the full list of changes/tweaks! Thanks again.
Will this work on the Telus version?

Compass.apk should be in there, but thanks anyway. Basically if porting from a "stock" setup, roms wont differ very much at all, but another difference is that the reboot options are capitalized. I would love to have glitch v13 in there, but its not publically released yet. I do install it on mine though. All you need is the boot.img and the lib/modules folder...modules need to match boot.img that was built.

I wasn't suggesting you put V13 in there. I was just commenting on my own lack of courage to do it myself more than anything. Thanks for the tip though.
Been installing apps and such basically nonstop since install and listening to music on it. No issues. I did update to Glitch v12RC1 right off the bat as well.
So far, this seems to be about as stable as the 9-16 release which has been my fall-back. I've had the fewest issues with that one. Hopefully this one will be my new 9-16. (Will find out when I get home and see how it handles the wifi/3g handoff that seems to have been causing the most problems on the latest few roms for me)

Thank you for the reply. I know there are differences the big one is one cdma and the other is gsm. I did not see the vibrant mention the first time in the OP. if anyone knows of a compatible miui for the Telus version pm me please I would love to try it
Looks great Rick...thanks again. I had issues with the other '11' roms so far and was back on the 10.28. And also big.thanks for the easy instructions for installing super charger....I couldn't get then to stick a month ago....no problems this time ( used your suggestion....will tweak later after I settle in) only issue is google+ fc at start up. I don't use it so not a huge deal.....will uninstall and install new......phone is flying.
Edit: Re-install of Google+ did the trick. Can't believe how fast and smooth this phone is running now.
Thanks for the responses. Im going to update some MIUI mods and put links in the op soon...launcher mod and screen transitions are some.

Sorry about that...my gmail seems to work fine though. I used JT's 3 button recovery fix kernel because its probably the most used throughout various roms. It doesnt have bln. You can flash any kernel you like though and it will work fine as long as the kernels allows for it.

GSM and CDMA roms/kernels aren't cross compatible. The phones share a name, that's it, they're pretty different when you get down to the nuts and bolts (or silicon and copper.)

"Hmmm. I just had huge success flashing jt's 3ButtonFix.zip kernel over the 1.11.4, making big improvements in battery and GPS. But this is an upgrade, using the same kernel, even though my current ROM is working fine. Hmmm..." thinks the flash junkie as he tries to pretend he might not go ahead and flash this anyway.
Edit: Of course I flashed it, with the script. Running great. Overnight, battery stays in high 90s.
All I can say is wow!! This is by far the most responsive miui build I've ever used, running the script on setting seven as suggested running glitch v13 ml OC`d to 1440..very smooth, plus have all the reboot options again nicely done, thanks much sir!

I actually ported the MIUIScotland 1.11.9 ICS framework I9000 rom to the fascinate. It seems the only difference are a couple added files within the framework and a few files elsewhere, along with the version number in the build prop. Its not even worth playing with though. There are no noticeable differences anywhere. Waist of time just in case anyone was wondering or has heard of it.

Now on to porting galnet ICS MIUI?
;-)

Couple newbie questions from DAGr8's Alpha 2 ICS

1) The haptic feedback on pressing the Home button feels ever so slightly delayed compared to how it was original in GB and the other GB ROMs. Could be in my head. Anyone else experiencing this and if so, know how to fix it?
2) Apex launcher that is included in the ROM seems cool but to put widgets on the home screen it says I need to install it as a system app or have root or something. I have root of course - how do I get it as a system app?
3) When I try to install the Chrome beta browser it's giving me "Error - Error processing purchase" dialog. Any ideas on how to fix this? When google searching this problem it seems like it might be on Google's end and I should just wait it out.
4) People in the dev forum are talking about some multi-dpi fix. I didn't run that since I have no clue what that is or what they're talking about.
5) Also people are saying that the VM heap is wrong or something on this build. I have no idea what that is or how it will effect me.
Okay I think that is all for now. Thanks!

Might be a little delayed, it's a leaked release, so anything is possible. I haven't noticed it. Don't think you're going to fix it.

You move the apk to system/app using Root Explorer or another file manager that has access to the root directory.

Multi-DPI fix are for people who are running their phones with a DPI (Dots Per Inch) that is different from the stock 320 DPI. A lot of people use an LCD Density of 240 which causes some poorly (read Samsung TouchWiz apps) written apps to scale badly on screen, like the dialer. If you aren't changing your DPI then you don't have to worry about the fix. They won't hurt anything, but they're not needed for you.

I'm the wrong person to give details on how the VM Heap works, but the stock ICS leak uses 256 and people have claimed performance improvements by reducing the VM Heap to 128 or 64. I've got it at 128 and it seems to have improved performance, but I cannot say for sure.
You can change LCD Density and VM Heap with apps like ROM Toolbox. You can also move Apex to system/app with ROM Toolbox. It's a rather useful app.

ROM impressions - TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION

Hi,
I wanted to express my opinion about the TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION rom.
The ROM is perfectly smooth - just works out of the box. It may appear deceptively simple, but the long update list in Development thread's OP provides a good explanation why it works so well.
If you had spent some time running Hybrid or Collective Troposphere ICS ROMs then you will be surprised to see the ATT boot animation (though I'm sure that if it's not to your liking then it can be replaced with any other animations that had been posted in different threads )
And another great thing about this ROM is the developer response time - appdroid is actively monitoring the thread and before I had time to load the stock rom there was an update for mms FC that was reported - now that's impressive.
The only issue that I had observe is phone hanging when trying to restart the phone. Happened two times but on third reboot it was ok. Didn't seem to be reported by anyone else so may be just my phone?
Oh, and if you are as adventurous as I am - don't try flashing Tablet Mode UI fix - I already did That will FC System UI and Launcher. From everything I've read in Hybrid thread I knew that this couldn't work, but just had to try (perhaps the fact that I got tablet UI working really well in Troposphere ROM contributed to the desire to make this attempt)
Edit - both of the issues listed above are gone, kind of. Did the exact same steps as earlier and this time rebooted fine without hanging. That part is for sure. As for the Tablet mod - it works fine at the DPI above 213. Again, make sure you flash TabUI_all_DPI.zip as this is the one I tested. 320 DPI is too big, but I think 240 should work fine.
Edit2 - Tablet UI works! Just not with default launcher. I was able to get 213 DPI resolution to work with Go Launcher, but Nova should also work

I don't intent to move all of TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION-related discussion here, especially since appdroid is monitoring his thread very closely. But it's nice to finally have a voice.
I flashed tablet mode over this. The combo works perfect

That's great news. Will give it another try.
I assume that you loaded the new Tablet UI enabler zip (TabUI_all_DPI.zip) and ran it at <= 213 DPI?
Edit - did you also observe hanging on shutdown/reboot?
I ran TABLET_UI_AOSP_A2. Nothing else.

Thank you. I got it all working now, just had to load another launcher (go launcher) BEFORE loading tha tablet UI (though I used the latest multi-DPI zip) and it worked fine at 213 DPI. If you can, please post in Development thread as people are asking and I still can't post there. I will PM Jay (appdroid) too.
Love this rom. there's just something about it like. Flashed A couple of roms but always found myself nandroiding back to gb. Been on this since last night and after a full run today I like it a lot.
Only thing I changed was the launcher to apex. Just needed something that looked stock but gave me more grid space. Works great.
Swapped the mms.apk with the one from tye noteworthy thread and no more fc there.
Now I just need to get tethering working.

Thank you. And of course if you want to run at or below 213 DPI you need to replace contacts app. But then again, if you don't care about samsung dialer commands (like #*2263#) then might as well replace the whole dialer, as at that resolution some dialer buttons in stock dialer are partially cut off.

Tried both before posting - none works.
Of course your post is a clear indication that it works for you. That means it's just my system then.
I think its a fantastic ROM so far. I had a couple FC's when doing the initial contacts sync with gmail and then when trying to put weather on the lockscreen. Other than that this ROM is fantastic. I think this might be one I stick with until the second leak comes out or the official ICS push.....Thanks DEV's!!!!!!

Same here. Though I might miss some of the tools available in other ROMs
Sometimes I wish we had a sticky thread with ALL the updates available globally (i.e. rom-independent) so we could get those as needed. Just like we have for Accessories forum.

I just got the Note today. Freaking huge even compared to my SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus. I was hunting for a good ICS Rom with tablet mode (I tried it on the GNex and it's freakin' sweet) and your post settled it for me. Thanks.

Go to THIS THREAD and download the MULTI-DPI TABLET UI link.
Hit the Thanks button if I helped.
Guys please rate the ROM if you think its running smooth! Plus RC1.1 out with fixes!

Slow response to touch?

Has anyone else experienced an issue with Themer where you select the drawer icon or the games icon, etc and it either takes 5 seconds to respond or it takes a second tap (or third) to make it finally appear? In fact, none of the "widgets" respond. Double tapping will immediately bring up the menu, so it's responding to that. It seems as if the widgets stop responding after awhile. Other times, it might take a tap and then another tap a few seconds later for the widgets to respond.
I've also had it where it just doesn't respond at all. A reboot doesn't seem to help. But, if I change themes, then it appears to fix the issue for about a day.
I've uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it and that seems to help for a day or two, but then the problem persists.
I also notice it appears to happen more frequently if I modify a theme and add my own widgets.
Not sure what the issue is and I do understand it's beta. I love this app and hopefully, this issue can get fixed?
I am running it on an unlocked and rooted RAZR HD running the Nexesque 3.6 ROM.
Thanks!
Yep getting same error here too using latest version and again it is frustrating,removing all themer files and uninstalling does not cure it.I also have another error here see attached,when this happens I get the old ghost image of an earlier version,again reinstall/reboot does not clear it
updated to latest version and now the problem is not there anymore,try updating your version now m8 see if it corrects for you
the only time I had such an issue was when my status bar was visible. It seems that it pushed hotspots down a bit so they did not align properly with icons. As soon as I've hidden the status bar all was OK again...

After posting my find, that's what I had decided. I went ahead and uninstalled Themer and reinistalled it going back to defaults.
There still was a lag sometimes. With the latest update, it doesn't seem as bad. At least, I haven't had an issue where it completely hangs and freezes.
This is still my daily homescreen driver. Sticking with it.
Well, upon further review, the lag between selecting a widget and it actually responding has surfaced again with the latest update.
I hope this can be rectified soon. It's a little aggravating to select say the "games" widget and then having to wait 5 seconds or else, hitting it multiple times before it responds.
Not sure what the issue is. Wish I could be more helpful, but that's all I can say.
Thanks!

Hi iBolski,
Does using the 'clean install' method work for you?
As in: uninstalling Themer, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder, reinstalling Themer.
What device/Android version/ROM are you running?

Yes, I've done that and it seems to help for a day or so and then it comes back.
I'm running Themer on a DROID RAZR HD, unlocked bootloader and rooted, running Nexesque ROM v3.6 which is running on Android 4.1.2. Nova Launcher is the installed launcher in the ROM.

and it's doing it again,when I click on widgets I get a white screen and it takes around 15 seconds to list the widgets.Fresh install delete everything and still the same,this is on the galaxy s4 running kitkat
and now I keep getting the there is a previous crash data everytime I try to change anything must have sent at least ten crash reports today,from previous crashes,seems like themer has hung on to the problems somewhere,I suspect it is in each theme I had errors with regarding the earlier problems.Even after a full delete and reinstall
Razr HD same issue with lag
I really love this app and would like to use it but I am having the same extreme lag issues. The funny part is that it takes a couple of days to show up like other people have said. It gets so bad it makes the phone almost unusable. I have to revert back to my standard homescreen. On my "standard" setup I have very little lag and only once in a while. I used quotes because I am running a Razr HD, rooted but locked BL, safestrap with Batakang ROM. ICS 4.1.1
Is it because we are on custom ROM's?

Hi,
Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
If you still have lag issues, let us know!
