Are there any Baby friendly, phone locking and yet entertaining apps out there that are better than Zoodles Kid Mode?

I've seen my baby girl have too much success in exiting the app on accident, and I want something better for her.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HashTagHell:
You should try Toddler Lock. Keeps the screen locks and has shapes, colors, and stars.

Lol. Dammit I sound like I work for the company.:D Anyway, it's free in the market.

I just recently flashed CM7 and i dont want to mess it up because it is a pretty long process and i was wondering what kernels can u use for it because i not sure is it like any other rom
[Vibrant General] cpittman:
Only use the one it comes with or bilboas kernel posted in the dev section. Any other kernel will most definitely end in bad news for you.

[Thunderbolt General] billhilt:
Just curious if the thunderbolt has this built in like the fascinate did when froyo came out . Im on wifi tether and wondering if my carrier is watching my data usage.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
Nice write-up bro.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Well, good guide. Hopefully Kyocera calls me back in regards to the kernel source code so we can really overclock this thing.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Their lawyer in San Diego got a hold of me on Facebook. Asked me to call her back. Three calls and no dice. Waiting on her response now. Hopefully soon. She said they are "working the bugs out". Which is a load of BS since we have phones in our hands, the source is done. They just have to give it to us and I told her bluntly just that.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Tell them to call me lol, I want the source. Give us the source!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
So what happened to getting it? Teacher not know the right trick? Have you heard about using git to get the source? I dunno what git is but it may help? Ever heard of it?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software).

Google is your friend???

Also, I don't have a sysctl.conf file. At least not where you said it is or one that root explorer can find...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Yeah if I actually understood any of that I wouldn't be asking.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
Ok here is the best benchmark average I have gotten so far. These are the settings I used to achieve it.

Avg Benchmark - 795

High - 900 (omitted from average)

Low - 710 (omitted from average)

Avg with high and low only changed by 6 points.

Sysctl Support - Enabled ( I am using the Sysctl app form the market.)

Min free Kbytes - 4096

Dirty Ratio - 80

Dirty BG Ratio - 40

Oom Allocating Tasks - Enabled

VM Heap Tool - VM Heap set to 36m

Stagefright settings are all set to "True"
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
What we need to know now is what setting are going to speed up the UI. Like cutting load times on FB and other apps, what is making the phone just lightning fast? Doesn't seem to matter too much as long as you don't go above 4096. Finally started to see some system lag with 8192. We need to figure out what makes the phone the most responsive, fastest, beast of a phone.

Messing with the radio numbers only seems to slow me down. And still can't really find anything on what vm.swapiness does either.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
Well, I have also downloaded Link2SD from the market and put every app (except system apps) on the SD card and That has given me a little over 100MB free on phone storage and I am using Memory booster lite to free up memory on the phone. All of these things have made a huge difference in the speed and performance of the phone including page load times. (facebook opens and loads almost instantly).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Be careful. Don't move things like Widgets that need to refresh or themes for your launcher or the launcher itself. Seems fine at first until you run for a while and Widgets stop and launcher always reloads.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Are you on Wi-Fi while opening apps or 3G and if 3G how many bars?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
Using Root Explorer /ect/sysctl.conf I'm not seeing this file...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Try /system/etc micro. Same thing.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Current settings.

4096

Stqgefright all but http

Running fast and stable. Launcher pro Orientation from portrait to landscape is faster. Home loads instantly even though I am not using a launcher from /system/app

I will be doing some more tweaks to speed this up but maintain some battery life.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I have Stagefright fully enabled. Running 2048 Free KB. Stock radio and background. Turned oom to 0. Zoomin right along.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Sin. How did you edit sysctl.conf I can't find it in ETC
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
Thanks! /system/etc still nothing. I have rtecdc_apsta.bin and void.fstab no luck still.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Looks like we need to include sysctl.conf in the next theme update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Ok there seems to be an arising issue with people finding sysctl.conf

I am looking in to this and I will post results when I have some. Two people have now not been able to find it. I'm wondering a bit if you may have accidentally deleted it or just what the issue may be. We have the same phones so I can't really think of anything as to why it wouldn't be where it's supposed to be. Opening root explorer you hit the etc folder and scroll nearly to the bottom in the S's and you can't find sysctl.conf?? If you don't find it there it probably isn't in /system/etc either since they are the same folder. How did you purchase and upgrade your phones? Were there any problems when you updated?

xmicroman-have you tried using the app from the market?? sysctl config? Between the two files you listed below should be security, sysctl.conf, and updatecmds. If you are missing those three files I really have to assume that something with your update went wrong or you have accidentally deleted them. In either case I don't know how to help really. I am working on it brotha.

Mattix did sending you the file get it back for you??

Anyone that can't find it, download this http://db.tt/ed3BmhG and drop it in the etc folder in root explorer or whatever file manager you use. Reboot, look for it where you dropped it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Yes sysctl.conf has been restored
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
/system/etc to be specific
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Using Antutu System Benchmark. Wee. Took top spot for a Zio!!!!

And then I challenge you to kick me off of the top.

HINT: Oom needs to be set back to zero. Also turn up your CPU for benching. Someone can beat me I know it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Oh yeah. Were just about at a 1000 avg. A little more tweaking for now.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
There is an easy way to edit build.prop for the heap size and stage fright and a few other things.. a app called blade buddy will let you without having to text edit. .. between blade buddy and sysctl config you can edit most of whats been suggested here
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
OK, I can confirm that sysctl.conf is not in /system/etc/ on the stock 2.2 rom. After reverting to stock today to upload a stock system boot and recovery images for rom development I checked /etc/ as well but no sysctl.conf
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Then you have a nerfed update. Sysctl is part of the OS.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
HOW?????? I cant get mine past low 800's no matter how I set it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Okay, I don't see how my updater is nerfed... it updates with no trouble at all.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
I dont think ur update is nerfed. What Im thinking (assuming) is that the app "sysctl root" creates that conf file and the build OS accepts it. If its not present, it uses the android default settings.

In my next openzio update I'll include this conf file with optimized settings. :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Spz0 I was actually thinking the same thing earlier.

As far as settings go. I am running 1536 min free KB. 100 on dirty radio and background. 10 vfs.cache. 0 Oom. Only player for stagefright. 32 VM.heap. These are just numbers I scored the 933 with and may not be stable. I also setcpu to 600 and have my threshold at 100. Can't imagine no one is getting close. Is anyone besides Fate even trying? Can't wait for source and overclocking. This thing will be pretty sweet.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I have 10+MB free on /system. And 95 free in /data. Dunno if that helps. You may have an unstable system. I did. Make sure your system is functioning correctly. Once I moved adw and my key board to /system and renamed them the stock.apk I had a much better performing system. Thanks to Spz0 for that gem.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
All my apps are functional and stable with Link2SD with 256mb ext3
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
For a few days I was getting high 700s and low 800s in quadrant with 4096 for min free, 100 dirty, 50 background, 10 vfs and 0 for oom with stagefright enabled. the other day it dropped back down to 400 or so. When I get the time I'm gonna sit down and take a look at everything again, I think some of my values got reset somewhere or something. Gonna move my launcher and KB to /system when I get the chance also. Work's been killing me for free time lately.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Ok, this is weird. I have put sysctl.conf in /system/etc but when I change settings with sysctl config app to change then check the actual sysctl.conf file nothing is changed. I've even tried rebooting but no luck.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
What does it say in the app after reboot?

You may try editing the conf file on your PC then pushing it to /system/etc/?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I think I fixed it. I had to unroot then re -root. Gave every thing superuser permissions and it seems right again.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
So I've been running benchmark and I'm getting an 800 average with 3072 100 50 25 Oom checked. 36MB VM Heap.

I seem to score better with Oom enabled. I also started getting a better score with an app I found called SD Increase which is available on the market for free. I set my SD cards cache to 2048 and I immediately saw faster write/read speeds on my SD card. You can use SD Tools to test your write/read of your SD card this app is also free on the market, I get 10MB write 20MB read speeds now that I have tuned my SD card.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] lothrids:
Hey, how about a walk through on the moving ADW and Keyboard to /system.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
Well I have topped out at 933 which is sinsin top bench score as well. Still trying to get the top spot. You know what they say competition breeds innovation, lol hopefully we will have some real concrete numbers posted soon.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Cue the Rocky Theme

enjoy it, my average score now is like a 915, so the 933 barrier won't last long.....

976 now.

Scoring in the high 800s without setcpu turned up too, consistently. This thing is absolutely FLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
LOL wow Just when I thought I had you licked, oh well I also scored a 953 among many other 900-920 something scores. I do however hold the top spot for the ZIO woot woot!.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
No. Mine. LoL. What settings you have?

I'm running only player on stagefright.

Have oom set to one.

1536 min free kb.

Vfs.cachepressure. is at 10.

VM.HEAP is 44.

And what class and gb of SD card do you have?

I have a 16gb 10 class.

Link2sd. 132mb free on /data and 10 on system.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Sin. I'm going to try your settings here in a few and run a benchmark l. Did SD Increase improve upon your score?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
What is ratio and background ratio
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
My settings are

Min Free kBytes - 1536

Dirty Ratio - 20

Dirty BG Ratio - 20

VFS Cache pressure - 15

Oom - on 1

Stage fright - all on

VM heap - 36

setCPU - Performance min-600 max-600

SD Increase - 2048 (Yes Mattix it does help a good bit)

SD card is a Class 8 and is 4GB
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
How are you getting higher benchmarks with lower ratios
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
987. 13 points from 1000. With a basically stock Zio. Not bad. Hurry up source so we can get an overclock mod.

According to setcpu benches. Low is fast.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
What are your numbers?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
2048. Same as below.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
I am not sure, but every time I bump my ratio's up the benchmark goes down.

Weird, I know but 20 seems to be the magic number for my phone at least with these settings.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I am still only getting 800 average.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Dunno what to say Mattix. I've said everything I've done. No extra tricks or anything. Could be a lot of things. I'm running on your stock system.img so our phones can't be too much different.

Tried the dirties at 20. Slowed me way down. Have background at 50 to score the 997. Stock radio.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
No SetCPU or any other adjustments. I have link2sd aswell with around 120+ data and 16 system. I know my SD isn't as good as yours but I should atleast be coming close. Perhaps sysctl is not installed properly. I need the source!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
If I had all my best numbers here, not including SD just leaving those as is, it would be a 1035.

SD INCREASE SHOULD GIVE YOU SIMILAR SD CARD NUMBERS DESPITE YOUR SD CARD.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
If I had a better SD card I'd be getting around 950-980 or so it looks like. All my numbers are only a few off from sin's except for the SD read and write.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I will have to play around with some settings, looks like I finally got sysctl config to work with sysctl.conf again, my SD write speeds are only benchmarking around 3mb, do you have your SD partitioned and is it ext2 or ext3. I have 256mb ext3 on my 2gb.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I have 1024 MB ext3 partition
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Hows the testing going?

Things that interest me:

-Battery Consumption

-CPU Load

Make sure you recalibrate your battery through cwm before doing any sort of battery testing.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Our stock ROM is set to 2048Kb by default. I just installed "SD Speed Increase" app from the market, and default values were already 2048Kb.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
When I installed sdincrease it said my default was 128kb I believe. I know it definitely wasn't 2048.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Think you may be looking at the min setting on the adjustment slider. I've checked the stock rom in /system/, and it's definitely set to 2048
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Recalibrate the battery where? In recovery?

And my normal SD increase settings are 172kb. It has to be something people are installing.

Found it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
2048 min free kbytes in the sysctl.conf is not the same as SD Increase. SD Increase adjusts the cache of your SD card. By default the SD cache is 128 KB but if you adjust to 2048 KB it will increase your read/write speeds of your SD card.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
This^^ :) Thanks Mattix
[Kyocera Zio M6000] lothrids:
So far this is the best I have been able to get. I am using an 8 gig Class 6 SD card. Not too bad. Can't wait till we have an over clock option.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Set CPU

:cool:When you turn up your SetCPU for benching, make sure you have it scaled to on demand and then go over to the advanced tab and up your cpu threshold to 100. Get the extra 5% of CPU. :cool:

Will link to OP when I find it again. Thanks Spz0
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Thats correct. about sysctl.

However, Im not talking about that.

If you go to "/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb"

That will show you your current r/w speed.

On our stock ROMs it is set to 2048 by default (unless I changed it without knowing).

So I would recommend trying 3072 for a r/w increase.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I know this is a bit off subject, but after enabling stagefright my custom ringtones (.mp3) wouldn't work until I turned it off. Completely. They wouldn't even play in the selection menu whereas the stock preloads still would. Any reason for this? Is there something I'm missing?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Haven't heard anything about that from anyone. I use custom tones and have never had a problem. I change settings a lot testing.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
It must be my specific combination of settings. I'll tinker around and report back tomorrow.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
I changed it without knowing. lol. Default is indeed 128Kb. :rolleyes:

I still recommend 3072Kb. Been having good results with it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Well, I can enable stagefright in all fields except 'player' without nerfing my ability to use .mp3 custom ringtones. I'm not sure why enabling stagefright in 'player' does this, though. What I really want to know is whether or not stagefright borks any other media playback I'm not immediately noticing...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I would like to meet this bench average. What are your numbers/toggles at?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I have only player in stagefright.

VM.heap is 44.

Sysctl is:

1536 min free kb

Stock dirties

Vfs.cache is 10.

Oom is 1.

That's it. Nothing else is tweaked. I run CPU at Max for benching. Have the threshold at 100. And it doesn't make much of a difference between 1536 and 2048 min free kb. I also use SD Increase from the market and have a 10 class SD with a ext3 partition to run link2sd. Have a ton of free space and system space is 10 MB free.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
benchmarks aside, how's battery life with those settings?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Uses more battery. I'd say 10-15% more depending on how you use your phone and how long you use it in one sitting. For the added performance the battery drain is well worth it IMO.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
autokiller mem. optimizer and setCPU help with the drain issue very well
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dbandroid:
OT, but you are awesome! Thanks.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Actually I got autokiller yesterday before I read this. Nice little app. Needs a white and blacklist tho.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] axa23:

[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
What file-format are you using for your custom 'tunes?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I use Ringdroid to make em from my music files. Hint. WMA files make bad tones.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
Recently ran a restore after trying out some images. Needless to say I wiped everything a bunch of times. Stagefright is still off and I'm still scoring big on benches. Can someone turn theirs off and see if its isolated or if turning off stagefright may be an option.

So I can confirm that a tight system is the most major part of any of these bench numbers. I didn't mess with any of the settings and broke a record again yesterday running off of a fresh nand back up I got from Spz0 and his Stock Nand Back Up Thread. Needless to say I will be giving the numbers a try on this new system.img but it's already becoming apparent that these numbers work, but only on unstable systems. If you have a tight system, Auto Killer Memory Optimizer will do just fine set to Aggressive. Haven't tried using any of the sys ctl vm heap or stagefright. I did enable (or tried anyway) JIT. Not sure if it works or if I enabled it correctly, but who knows.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
What is the significance of using ext3 instead of FAT32 for the second partition?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
ext2,3,4 are linux partitions usually used for the storing of apps and other linux packages, You must use this format to use Link 2 SD so it can link your app files to your SD card. Note this partition of the SD card is no longer readable on a windows system. The Fat 32 is a standard format so it may be used to store many different files types that can be opened on different platforms, it is somewhat a universal partition.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I used FAT32 for my second partition and it works fine with Link2SD, and for the record, Windows can't read the second partition on any SD card. Stupid question, though; what benchmarking app are you using? I'm using a copy of Quadrant Advanced and it looks nothing like the screenshots you guys were posting. Also; (and I know I'm asking a lot of you guys and I'm sorry) would it be possible for someone to upload a stock build.prop? I messed with mine and now whenever stagefright is enabled next to player anything .mp3 format won't play (including music/sound effects for some of my games). Thing is that when stagefright is enabled next to player my phone works so much better than without, but I won't turn it on if it means no custom 'tones and no BG music for games I paid for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
I use Antutu System Benchmark. You messed with more then just stagefright. I have enabled and disabled stagefright a million times and never had a problem with music or games.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Well, sinsin, could you post a copy of your optimized build.prop file, please?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
or you could just download the openZIO ROM, which has all the performance tweaks native in the system files. o.0
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Downloaded the ROM (NICE work, by the way), but the Stagefright:player issue is still there. God forbid I try a different bit rate or something, but I wonder if it's got something to do with another file I altered that wasn't replaced by the openZIO flashing process.. I'm going to flash the stock cricKet 2.2 ROM and then flash the new openZIO with the OC-able kernel and try again. If not, I JUST MIGHT consider changing up the bit rate of my .mp3 'tones (I believe they're 96kbps). Lol. Another thing is that I noticed a HUGE speedup in the openZIO boot process with the boot animation turned off ([debug.sf.nobootanimation] not that the boot animation isn't awesome) using Blade Buddy. I had a question, about Blade Buddy, though. It writes changes to /data/local.prop which seems to override the /system/build.prop file configuration. My issue is that since AUTOKILLER MEMORY OPTIMIZER basically overrides (from what I read at the top of this thread) the /system/build.prop file configuration, does using Blade Buddy to mess around with settings interact explosively with AUTOKILLER or do they work fairly well in conjunction with each other? I wouldn't ask, but as I'd appreciate anyone asking me things I may or may not know saying, you guys are way smarter than I am at this and I really appreciate all the effort you guys have put into knowing this phone and answering my questions.
