**If coming from development section, the first two zips are only for Evo 3D, JustArchi mods are for most devices**
As always, make a backup, and flash
I am not a developer, I'm a user, so I'm limited in how much I can help you, but I will try.
----------------------------------------------
I want to share a couple projects found in the developers section. When I first started experimenting with scripts and other 'android enhancers', I'd flash them blindly- because I didn't know any better. I've experienced graphical glitches galore, cpu running full throttle all the time, and boot loops. Though luckily no bricks.
More often than not, development projects need to be tuned for a particular device. And that's what's been done here.
The first is operation killjoy, the folks there don't want it to be put into Roms. And they also want a link to the thread, here it is- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411161
They don't want it being used with other mods, and it'll delete such things as Crossbreeder and Seeder, and it'll backup all init.d scripts and use its own, and will also delete sysctl.conf. That's overkill(so this won't delete your init.d, etc). It features dnsmasq and an entropy engine. This is our okj- https://db.tt/aFSWMw65
And the other one is Crossbreeder, it can be put into Roms. I highly suggest using it, the Crossbreeder app can be got here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150
Again, for our device- https://db.tt/ZYRciXIl
OKJ and CB shouldn't be used together.
Here is moderately sized Moab hosts file- https://db.tt/aod1UHXL
Edit- 1/27
All credit on this one to @JustArchi
And this last one took me almost a week to put together. It's the killer work by JustArchi. This is for testing purposes only. I pulled it from a CM 4.4 Rom of his and it's working with the 3D. Don't know if it'll work with tether or not. Hope so though. Please test n report.
It can be used with CrossBreeder, but separately. Here's what I mean by that- when installing the zip, it'll know if you have CrossBreeder installed and it'll back it up. It's easily restored though with the push of a button, in the CrossBreeder app.
Or it can be used stand alone. I suggest using it by itself, it's much simpler. It sets up differently in recovery, but still is able to use CB app(link above) to control.
I wanted to modify the cb app to make sense of what I've done with it here. But don't have the skills to do that. There are scripts used to toggle components: turning on/off haveged, enabling/disabling local DNS, applying adblock, switching from Adaway to Mother of all ad blocking(Moab) hosts file, Locking host file(can't modify), toggling Frandom, fstrim script....and they're located at /system/archidroid/scripts. They can be set up and ran with Script Manager, could use widgets to Enable/Disable stuff, I prefer to use CB app and that's how I've set it up. If you don't want to, delete /system/etc/CrossBreeder. If you do, here's how it works
Stand alone(no CB installed)
Switches
Haveged- enables/disables haveged
*Run ZAutomateHaveged as su on boot to get haveged up and running.
Dnsmasq- Disables/restores JustArchi mods, reboots device
TweaksIO- will run a couple scripts, changed how they run because wasn't working before for me
Bypass ISP- Enables/Disables local Dnses
Tether Boost(worthless anyways) - Enables/Disables Frandom
Adblock- Switches between Adaway n Moab hosts, I don't use ultra huge hosts for Moab- it's 11 MB
And/or you can use the JustArchi app found here- https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...oid/auto/system/app/ArchiDroid-ArchiDroid.apk
-----------------------------------
With CrossBreeder
Haveged- Archidroid haveged will be used full time between CB and AD modes, it can be adjusted in ARCHIDROID_INIT in xbin. This switch enables/disables haveged.
DNSMasq- This switch is tricky, off is ArchiDroid(AD) mode and on is CrossBreeder(CB) mode. After flashing zip AD mode is running. Everything is initially disabled except for Monitor DNS and Monitor pixelserv. Switching to on will backup AD and restore CB, but it will try to reboot, and if it does, the switch may not go on(CB) position. In CB mode, turning DNSmasq switch to on will enable dnsmasq. Turning it off will restore JustArchi-ness, and again it will try n reboot. If it's still in on position make sure to slide it to off after reboot. Turning switch to off in AD mode will mess $#it up because I've used primitive scripting. Please forgive me
Tweaks IO- I had to use a strange method to get these to apply in both modes, forgot to mention before, this will also run fstrim. It's funny, found out scripts can run in a loop
Bypass ISP- self explanatory
Tether Boost- Frandom(same)
Adblock- Switches hosts file(same)
I've included an uninstaller script with stand alone 'version', but not yet for w/ cb one, so as always, make a backup. Also left in there a sweet little gal named onandroid, for backing up partitions for clockworkmod recovery, change part. info in adpath. Be careful with this.

Yeah, I had made changes reflecting toasts and script calls after decompiling, couldn't recompile, kept getting errors w/ apktool on android.

Will you please ask JustArchi too, I don't want to step on any toes.
Please do what you can to bring that app here, I have a concern with the Mode(AD/CB) switch as mentioned in op, can that be fixed?

I spent some time trying to get adblock to work using your mod, but I couldn't. The JustArchi app kept fc'ing with only JustArchi installed, and I couldn't get the mod working either.
With both JA and CB installed the JA app didn't fc anymore, but it didn't function either. CB app worked partly, but it froze on the haveged part. Couldn't get haveged working through CB app that way.
This is only meant to inform you, not as criticism at your workin any way!
JustArchi's work goes way above my knowledge of scripting and programming, but I always was interested in his work.
Glad you guys are working on it, I'm following this thread with great interest [emoji106]

For now, use the CB app(op instructions) or SManager to control.
With this mod, either CB is running, or JA is running, they don't run at same time. Only the haveged remains the same, CB haveged is deleted. You may need to re-enable it upon reboot.
I've been working on the adblock portion of CB, and it should now it should start up after switching adaway/moab host file(Adblock button in CB app) and/or running the scripts with IO Tweaks.
Thank you for informing me, and I can take criticism :thumbup: :thumbdown:
You know what, okay, my mistake, with both ja n cb APPS, it stopped fc'ing. Now I gotcha. I'm slow. Wish I could test with that, sorry. Appreciate it if ya keep letting us know how it goes with the JA app.
I made changes to scripts in how system is mounted rw(ty colonel_lp) to be more universal. With cb applied, whichever hosts will now be copied to /system/etc/CrossBreeder/dnrd_root/master. And pixelserv started upon hosts change.
Might be able to get adblock applied without reboot.
You can try if you'd like, delete this from REMOVE_DNS_CLIENT/ INSTALL_DNS_CLIENT-
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq 2>/dev/null
sleep 8
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger 2>/dev/null
reboot
busybox reboot
I'll update op to recent changes

I thought that it is supposed to work like that, as you are disabling local DNS (= DNS server on your device), so going back to your providers DNS?
By enabling local DNS, you're phone starts acting like a DNS server itself.
But I could be very wrong here, don't know for sure.
Btw, your latest mod is working perfectly for my OnePlus One on ColorOs 4.4.4, using the JA app for configuration. Haven't tried it with the CB app yet, to be honest. Thank you for making things work!
But I don't really notice any difference in speed, smoothness or usability between cb and ja mod, do you? Could be different for other (older) phones with less ram or slower processor, but the OnePlus runs both mods equally smooth.
I was using cb merely for its ability to not only block ads, but erase them without any trace on a page as well. JA adblocking is working perfectly also.
I remember reading something in the past, about JA using different, more stable and newer techniques? Not sure if the difference between the two mods is big enough to notice?

Here is a great script that is apparently making its way through the android world. It increases the SD card read/write by reading in larger chunks. You can get it to work on Fascinate somehow.
Many of us in the Eris world have gotten this to work and my now SLOW eris reads pictures and related SD functions twice as fast as my fascinate!! Now to start testing this on my ever godly fascinate...

I didn't find anyone in the Fascinate world doing this, but apparently the Epic has this somewhat working:

Sounds great. I was just complaining about my pictures loading slowly yesterday, and here you are to save the day!
I'm backing up my phone now, and will flash the 2k file.
I did test this app, which essentially does the same thing, and it does work great on the fascinate. But, its an app that has to be turned on, and wont stick at boot. Although the app does have a set at boot option... thats still one more app running at boot.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sd-increase/com.sdincrease.it
I'll post results on my flashing of the scripts shortly.
ok I can confirm the following did stick at boot.
njoy everyone:
SDCardSpeedFix2048KB.zip
I tried that app, and I'm not sure that it even worked. You probably know more than I do, but after doing the setting in SD Speed Increase i can open the file and it still says 128. i also tried it on my eris and it did change the file to 2048. Weird. Is there gonna be a link to a flashable in your post. thanx...

check my last link in the OP. All the various flashable files are in that link. I used 2k version. Thats what I used in my Eris.
the app you have to use the slider to adjust the amount (again use 2048) click on that RED/ORANGE button with the arrow and it will set it.
what it says in "Status" is what is defined in your phone. So thats how you can confirm it worked. Or just open up the gallery and compare a large folder before the flash(or app change), and then run the same gallery folder after the flash (or app change). It should be MUCH faster.
Ok, now the 2048k from that link worked great.
But just for the record, I did push that button to finalize the setting in SD Speed Increase . I don't know why it didn't change the file...oh well, thanks a lot sir!

jt1134 implemented this about a week ago, and I and several others did the same with the custom kernels that were released. If it's being set in the initramfs and not via an init.d script, you can change the values all you want and it likely isn't doing anything to change the read/write performance.

From what I can tell the flash files are writing to the init.d. So it should be sticking. This is still good to know as some people might not be using custom kernels, or might want to change from whatever defaults the kernel devs have pre-set.

If the change is applied in the initramfs, that will likely take precedence over the init.d script, but I have no idea how it works if there are two things telling it what to run at.
Simple script to run to maximize the MoPho's RAM usage. **ROOT USERS ONLY**
I take NO credit for this tweak whatsoever, and am simply providing a quick "how-to" of how to run the script for those who have not used it on previous Android devices.
Here's the link to the original thread (in the general section in the MoPho forum), created by member Custodian on 8/11/11. Big thanks to him for that! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212820
First, follow the ongoing development threads to familiarize yourself of what this tweak truly accomplishes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15948434#post15948434
Secondly, follow this how-to, in this order:
1) Download the script of your choice from the second hyperlink above, or from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=5021
2) Download Script Manager from the Market (free app).
3) Wipe your caches.
4) Open Script Manager, locate the script you dl'd on your SD Card, select "run as root", and DO NOT select "run as boot".
5) Load the script (select 1 or 0 for scrolling speed). It will most likely tell you that you are running too new of a Busybox version, and may experience bootloops. You're fine. Busybox v1.19.2-Stericson runs just fine, no issues.
6) Once script loads, enter selection #9 (Super 1000hp Aggressive mem setting).
7) Enter selection #13 to "bulletproof" your Launcher (helps eliminate risk of having it close during while your mem settings are working)
8) Enter selection #19 for Nitro Lag Nullifer, and install.
9) Enter selection #25 for options. Enter y for build.prop edit.
10) Enter selection #27 to close the script.
Now, reopen Script manager and navigate to the folder /sdcard/V6_SuperCharger. Run the 99SuperCharger.sh script, and select to "run as root", and "run as boot".
Reboot your phone, and you are good to go.
You can create widgets to quickly shift between memory tweaks.
Lastly, you can run the V6 script and select #19 to "flush" your caches and reclaim any lost RAM throughout the day to keep your phone running optimally without having to reboot your phone or "kill" any apps through various task managers. I do this about 1x-2x a day just as habit, but not necessary by any means. (A widget can be created for this too - open Script Manager, and find /data/fast_engine_flush.sh. One click RAM re-claimer!)
That's it. No need for any 3rd party task managers (ATK, Auto Killer, etc.). Just let the script do its thing, and enjoy a lag free MoPho!
this is great - I ran across this the other day - very easy to install and activate - my phone seems to be very reponsive - quite a interesting MOD - thanks for posting!

I get crap 3G speed @ work regardless of which 3G script I run (.2-.4 down on avg), but .8-1.0 avg w/ 4G. I didn't realize that it doesn't exactly hurt the battery life tremendously to leave 4G enabled on the MoPho, as it puts itself into a sleep mode when not in use. I'm not sure of the specifics as far as scan/refresh intervals right off hand, but I'm tracking approx 1% of batt. life lost every 10 minutes while the phone is idle and 4G enabled (data disabled, as I'm sure I'd be losing 3-4% batt. life in the same range w/ it enabled w/ 4G).
Dumb question: Anything special I should know to run 3G turbocharger?

Nope. Just run the script and select the option that's best for you and reboot. Test all 4 and the experimentals.
YMMV - not all phones behave the same, and I'm sure 3G gains/losses are still contingent upon your location anyway, so you may experience a boost, a loss or no change at all. Either way, it won't hurt anything to try it.
Now RC2 is out... The best setting for MoPho is option 9+12.... Use build prop option to stick otherwise will not stick after reboot.... V6 default windowsmgr event setting is only 75. If you want better smooth scolling change this line "windowsmgr.max_event_per_sec=75 to 150(got two lines not include original line). Well 3g tweak is depend on your service provider.... test with speed test.net and find which setting is the best for you.

i have both running on my phone and it is pretty fast, i used the experimental #1 for the 3g and i was hitting 1+ meg downloads which is faster than the .48-.75 that i normally get. usually when i open my browser on 3g it takes a while to load even the google homepage but now it pops up as soon as i open the browser no load time same for xda took a while before now it loads really quick almost ike i have 4g on i had to double check and make 4g was the first time i tried it because it was so much faster.
RC3.1 is out already. Looks like there are a bunch of fixes and enhancements.
where do you see the RC3.2?

Does this work on stock rom
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Didn't really know if this was the right place to post this, but I was just wondering what everyone uses their rooted me7 S4 for? Like what sort of apps do you utilize since there isn't much as far as customizing that we can do without an unlocked bootloader. Just a discussion for everyone to spitball in while we wait for the next android god to unlock our phones!

Used to do it for the different ROMs and using the MODs.
Now I've kind of outgrown the whole "crack-flashing" phase, and just root it to try any new ground-breaking MOD/ROM/App, etc.
Also, I just love knowing that I have the freedom of being Rooted.
XDA community is beautiful.
It's easier just to name the apps I mainly use when rooted:
AdAway (ad blocker)
Titanium Backup (backup app)
DroidWall (firewall)
Also uninstalling/freezing bloatware. Of course, it's awesome because you can flash ROMs, too.
Theming and removing bloat
I rooted so I could use Wallet, a few other apps and to remove bloat. I can't stand the crap Verizon puts on their phones. 3+ years ago, I'd flash a rom almost daily but I too have grown out of the crack flashing phase.
Well, at first I used admin/sudo/root to learn what made my computer work, and consequently what made it stop working, and how to repair things when the system didn't like what I did to it. Then how to make the computer more responsive through config edits.
When I got my first andriod it was pretty much the above all over again but way littler. I don't think I can count how many times I've soft bricked my phones by poking around in file systems I shouldn't have been poking around in.
Then I focused on how to make my devices faster without using prebuilt "OMGITSFASTHUMINAHUMINAHUMINA" script pack zips found across the internet and here. So learned how scripts worked in general to automate a lot of mundane functions.
Then, My buddy Kyle was working on a performance kang of liquid for the DX. I offered to help get more performance out of it. And then I eventually took over the ROM building in that project and a bunch of others for that series of devices.
Root isn't so much to me about "check it out bro I'm rooted, I've got stock cyanogenmod10 on, yeah high five" as it is about what I'm able to do with that ability and more importantly what I'm able to learn by actually using that ability. That's why I try to make my updater scripts print on screen what the script is doing... To potentially help someone who didn't know what was going on potentially learn a little bit.
Besides all that, I enjoy theming my UI. And with how much I end up flashing ROMs RomToolbox Pro has been my go to for app backups. :good:

Theoretically speaking you could run another ROM assuming it's compatible with the stock kernel.
It almost begs the question, maybe it's time for an In-Android (runtime) ROM flashing tool non-dependent on recovery. You wouldn't gain the other benefits of a normal recovery but you'd at least be able to flash ROM's, sans certain elements.
Aside from the performance and mod benefits, I find it therapeutic. Everytime I freeze/uninstall Vznavigator, Back up assistant plus, Verizon tones or anything Verizon related app I feel good knowing im doing mankind a favor by eliminating an atrocious and insulting excuse of an app.
Plus...theres nothing better than the feeling you get when you toggle that wifi hotspot switch on, especially after you've just successfully upgraded and kept your unlimited data by enduring the long, grueling and degrading task of dealing with the incompetence that is Vzw customer service.

I prefer to root just because of the awesome features.. Open source will always be popular and gives everyone their own chance to be different.
Remove bloatware, remove the persistent WiFi on the dropdown (which eats battery life), adaway so I get rid of stupid ads (I prefer to pay for the app and not the ads). ROM's when the bootloader gets unlocked (again).

I have TiBU and that's it from everything you guys have listed lol. I read that root call blocker wasn't working properly? And this ad blocker sounds awesome. Also, how do you block the persistent wifi that eats battery? Maybe thats a dumb question haha.

I suggested something similar in the bounty thread. I was thinking something similar to boot manager where you could flash ROMs while in android to the SD... Could that work?

After finally getting CrombiXX to work, the only dissapointment is the inablilty to disable the touchpad using the appropriate key.
I read a post saying deleting the file 'event4' will achieve same effect.
Well I can delete it, but each reboot or undocking, it returns!
I have created a shortcut to the folder, but would prefer it gone permanenly as I never ever use the touchpad.
Can anyone enlighten me on how this pesky file can be removed for good.
Thanks
You could try creating an init.d script to delete the file on bootup.

The folder shortcut>delete file, isn't too bad a solution for those who can't type without thumbs catching the touchpad. Perhaps it's because I touchtype..

That sounds like an idea that may address the reboot issue, but perhaps not the undock/dock trigger. it's been so long since I wrote any scripts, and they were windows based, I think I may just have to stick to using the shortcut on the desktop to the folder.
Regardless, this little device is so wonderful now, it's a joy to use. Feels almost as quick as my Nexus 7 and certainly faster than the Note8 now I have put Samsungs 4.3 bloatware back on it.
I will investigate the script, but I guess it would be great to eliminate the trigger point/script till. It would of course be even better if the official button funtion worked....here's hoping.
Oh my goodness I just love this little beauty.
Drop this file in your /system/etc folder, replacing the stock one. Cleaned up, and modified to work with a stock kernel or lean kernel.
Please open up the file, and read some of the notes I added, so you know what this does and how to change it if you so desire. It is very basic and straightforward.
Also, please remember one thing, if you want to go to the stock kernel, simply change any words in the scripts from "interactiveX" to "interactive".
Recommended lean kernel 3.16 with these scripts.
Designed to work with ALL Galaxy Note 3's running touch wiz 4.4.2 ROMs and running lean kernel or stock kernel. Other kernels are not guaranteed due to the voltages applied.
This will make a huge difference in performance and battery. Been using this (developed by me) for a long time now.
Summary:
*I/O optimization
*tuned interactive parameters
*fixed sysfs permissions for cpu's (root now has full control of sysfs tuneables)
*GPU sysfs identified for user to customize
*screen off frequency set to 1.2 GHz (can be changed by user)
*custom voltage set for bin 2 device. (Read instructions within file to adjust for others bins accordingly)
*custom mpdecision tuning and other relevant instruction regarding mpdecision binary
*general CPU tweaks for better performance, responsiveness and battery life (yes all 3 can be achieved, and are)
Again, open the file with a file explorer (or notepad+ in windows). Read it, understand it, adjust what you want, or leave it be. These settings are very much dialed in for the interactiveX governor of LK. It won't get much better. I'd say take a look at the voltage portion and mpdecision for now (found at the end).
Once more, drop file into the /system/etc directory... Replace the existing one, and reboot.

Updated today... many useful changes, and fixes (set up for stock kernel for now)

Nice work, thanks for the contribution. Glad to see you here.
Speeds up the UI.
Thanks
The comment aren't "G" rated...
Just giving you all a heads up.... I think there may have been a few errors in the stock init.qcom.post_boot file (they are human too, remember).
I am testing a few small changes to certain lines in the "factory" script to make sure. A brief explanation of it is that there are certain lines I removed from the one you all are using right now, and I did so because the file paths being called out did not exist!
However, I was going over this again tonight, getting ready for the official LP release and decided to review this odd discrepancy one more time. After doing some digging, I found that the file that some of those values were intended to be written to, were actually somewhere else!
Doh! - Sammy/QC. It is very possible that this location changed from a previous design or fs structure and somebody simply forgot to modify the script. Very interesting indeed.
Anyways, after I run this for a couple of days and do a little bit more investigating, I'll post the updated script for all of you.
Looking forward to trying

Is there still a need to change any statements to use this with the stock kernel? I browsed the file and didn't see any "interactiveX" statements to change.

Just wanted to make sure there weren't any other changes to make, other than those. It appears this was designed for the Lean kernel but worked on stock if small changes were made (as stated in the OP). He updated the file and appearently removed the "X" statements. I just wanted to play it safe and make sure there weren't any other changes that needed to be made on my end seeing as I'm using the stock kernel.
Just to clarify...
The updated version, is set up for stock, but if you are using lean kernel, simply modify the "echo interactive > /sys/...." Statements (there are 4 total, towards the top of the script) to say "interactiveX"... As lean kernel's version of interactive is called this.
That is the only thing you need to change. Everything else is fine.

Next time you have a reboot, copy this file to your SD card:
/proc/last_kmsg
And upload it, then send it to me.

Seems as though it has something to do with wifi and/or wifi calling. Phone ran fine for 3 hrs while at work and rebooted almost instantly once I got home. I don't see "last_kmsg" but I do have "kmsg" by itself. Attempting to copy to SD but it's going on 5 min without finishing. I'm using Root Explorer. Am I missing something?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk 2
Kmsg isn't the one you want, that is a live log that is constantly writing dmsg lines. It will not stop copying..
If you don't have last_kmsg, it has likely been disabled by whatever kernel developer made the kernel you are using... If you are on stock and aren't seeing it, the only thing I can recommend is to run logcatX or some similar app that will allow you to filter errors only and log those to your SD card.
