hi I think I have quadrant app not the same as your app. I get minimum of 1540 and every one post something from 1000 to 2500

strange.

Any way just stay tuned and thanks for testing.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
after install you dont need to do any thing its all working automatically! that was the point. I will update my post when I will find something more. or fine tune after long run the existing tweaks.

and I need to finish testing all my tweaks for your rom.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Magnumutz:
Sweet :D

After a reboot, i get like 300 MB of free RAM, btw :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Wow thats is coool! damm now its best rom.

i am fully loaded with 41 services in Ram!

and i get from 60 to 90 depend of current use.

and compare to 20mb or 15mb free with no tweaks and home app crush every 10minutes

its was driving me crasy and now all in the past ;-)

Thanks for the update.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Here you go! :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Looki75:
Yes, from what I see on your screenshots, I don't have the same quadrant app... could you share with us a link of the one you use?

BTW, thanks for integrating the date in the thread header ;)

I am testing now your tweaks v1.5... hard to say right now... I had 1 restart of the home app... will continue testing. Anyway, looks like Veeery Fast!

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
I have the quadrant advanced (payed app) look for it, i cant post the app, forum rules.

the HOME app may restart 1 or 2 time and then should sit tight in RAM!

only way is to kill it is to use some app like heavy game that will use lot's of ram , but i have tried my heavy games and HOME still there when i get back!

It's make me so happy now! after mounts of HOME refresh.

The speed comes from more free RAM for buffers to use,

Things load faster! CPU is the same but memory got faster!

enjoy, i will look for more stuff, now for faster network transfer speed, :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] milkoo:
Quadrant advanced app did give me a much higher number. I got 1700 while the other app just game me a 1200. Happy now. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
the free stuff sucks in most cases!

I am cooking new update and with it i get 1816! :)

but still unstable with write buffers,

i will fix it soon.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JJKameR:
More than happy with the tweaks!

Really good work, it's a nice improvement from the standard rom. Keep up!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Hammerfest:
typhoon cm7 updated, cant wait to see ur pack cleaned up to lighten up on whats now present and doesnt need to be re-added!

great work, keep it up!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] YZ:
I just formatted my sd card.. followed your instructions.. did the terminal thing.. Do I have to do this all the time after I install a new rom ?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xabhi:
man you are my hero.....Thanks a lot.

i wanted to ask whats the difference between using swap the way you said and the way apps like swapper swapper for root or swapper2 do?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] YZ:
I usually had 270 mb of ram .. now I have 240 mb of free ram
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Well you don't need to reformat,

just apply the script, swap.sh one time only after new update.

and you set to go.

i am using gscript light to do it with one click not big deal :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
well swapper can make this also, but, i have tried it and something not worked for me,

so i did the HARD way :) working perfectly.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
It's a small sacrifice for buffers! and stability and READ/WRITE Speed.

I cant take all from System! it's need to work too :)

Any way if RAM will be needed it's will be released from buffers to power the demanding APP.

It's working dynamically now.

Don't worry! :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] beston94:
CArd reader??

Hey i dont have any laptop or computer that reads mini sd cards? So is there any other way? i can format it to fat32 in 32K? Or is that the only way..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
My SKIN Pickcher PAGE

Here i will re post my SKIN PICKS, and Quadrant Score! don't have free slots on main page,
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
well you cant do it from phone,

so check if a friend have card reader.

It's is adviced to use 32k, but it's will work on default 4096 but slower,

and i as found once that it's can prevent from you to use camcorder,

movie rec will stuck and you will have to reboot to get to camera back.

Bummer!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gunnroseclose:
Each time after updating the rom, what should i do to reactive this script? should i reinstall it in CWM? i don't understand what does "swap.sh" you mean some post above ? :D:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Hi,

Yes you need to install the tweak after each update.

Install via CWM as you did with the ROM, no clear cache is needed after tweaks install.

swap.sh it's a script that activates the SWAP. you probably not need it,

One dude asked me to create it to ease things up.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] RRibeiro:
Can I use your latest tweaks file in the latest Typhoon Rom (19 JUN)?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
now you can updated to match 3.3.8
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] feanor91:
Hello

I try to activate swap but when I run swap.sh, it says that it can't mount mmcblk0p3, it can't find it.

I did not use your partition file bu the last from typoon romm as I saw now difference between them exept size of partition (perhaps it will be my mistake)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JJKameR:
Sad that you have removed the 190 dpi patch... will you consider to include different GPS conference for each country? Now it is pointing to Asian ntp.

I have patched your patch to suite my needs (doing and GPS). Except for that... it is brilliant as before. Thanks!

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
I love the 190DPI but lots of people not agree with me! and disappointed when all is smaller,

So for those who know how to lower the DPI it's not big deal to fix to there beloved DPI.

About the GPS, it's very easy to update with your country NTP server.

If i start to make for all countries i will need a new tread! :)

For now i have lots to do here, and help to people that need me.

Thanks for testing, please tell more people about this tread! :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
This is probably because you don't have a SWAP partition!

You need to create it with the RECOVERY

Explanation on MAIN PAGE!

DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP THE SDCARD TO YOUR DRIVE!

Have fun.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clio94:
or (like me) you have swap partition in sd but you didnt make a good swap.sh file to activate it.finally i can use swap file with this way

1.download swap.sh file from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14849341&postcount=92 thanks dorimanx for upload your swap file

2.download from market gscript lite

3.unzip the file swap.zip and copy swap.sh to sdcard/gscript

4.open gscript and then push menu--->add script-->load file swap.sh and then save

5.press swap,wait a little and you will see a message "setting swap space" stdrr:

make a reboot and you are ok
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Macelangelo77:
I don't mean to be rude, but I'm completely lost in the first and second post. I've been reading this thread since you first posted a link in Typhoon's thread, but the longer I read, the less I understand.

Any chance you could clean up the first post, so it's understandable to everyone?

I would really like to enjoy your efforts, but since the first posts are so chaotic, I don't know where to start...

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Hammerfest:
want the DPI re-added...

and is that why i cant seem to get a GPS lock at all? its been pissing me off to no end because in GMaps I can get my location (wifi location) but when i start navigation the GPS icon just flash's for ages (ROM - GPS location v1.2 - use for an hour -during which i didnt test gps- install tweak, try to use navigation, no lock... Q_Q )

EDIT: and to agree with the other guy, your 1st/2nd posts REALLY need some work it looks like a weeks worth of rambling...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] vodkinagdan:
I want to use MiniTool Partition Wizard to repartition my sd card to have swap partition. Can anybody post right partition order?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Hammerfest:
so I have another question as well, free shows:

Mem: 421xxx

correct me if im wrong, but dont we have 576mb or ram on these hd2's? is android just not able to access this extra RAM? or is the space from 421-576 taken by something higher then reportable? EDIT: well in an archived thread I found "At the moment, there isn't a full ram map written into the zimage (kernel), neither the start parameters adress the full range of 576MB. For some reasons I'm not aware of all tries to remap and enable the full memory failed so far (there are a bunch of topics out there)." dont know if this is current, but it still sad to hear

also, i activated swap, says i got 250060 free, but for the past 2 days it still says 0 used...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Well i will think about how to make it more USER FRIENDLY.

But who is looking He will find all that he needs to know.

To collect all that tweaks i have searched for days and tested on my device.

So please READ! and if you don't care about CHANGE LOG Just download the UPDATES and be happy.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] vodkinagdan:
The last 128 MB of RAM allocated for stable work of the WM 6.5. They can not be used neither by CLK nor by Magldr.

As I know, swap is only used only if RAM is not enough. And cleared after.

SUPER HOME APP SHIELD (how it's work)

DELETED no longer needed!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Hammerfest:
ill pretty it up for you when i get a chance today...

and i hate to say it because it is going to be rude but when you say: "Hope this was clear, if not leave it to developers ", my thought is: yeah because 99% of those using your stuff are developers right?

Hate to be rude but im pretty sure your (make no mistake) wonderful tweak kit, is used by such a small percentage of developers its not funny, needless to say ill lend a hand to help make your post more "friendly" with the natives (IE the vast majority of those who use your tweak kit, cause they are NOT developers...)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] vijaysapkota:
Hello dorimanx,

can you (or anyone) please attach the screenshot of your skin?

I want to test it but don't know how it looks likes.

so can anyone help, please?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Please look for link to skin picks at main page.

or just go back some pages you will find it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
hi i have corrected the post! now its not rude.

if you like to help with main page. you welcome.

i dont have much time to make it nice.

i work as system and security engineer in big company and have time only at evening or night.

today i will sleep after 3 nights of work on my tweaks.

Thanks for your help offer.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] yugoport:
Sorry for the noob question, but is it possible to install this tweaks in sd builds?

Thanks and sorry once again ..
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
i think its will kill your rom.

any way will stuck on boot.

you may use some of them by testing. but you need the skils to debug your rom to test.

i really dont know, but if you have extra time, try it, if no go reinstall your rom.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Looki75:
I'm still testing your tweaks package, but I have to say it's wonderful!

In particular the home app shield is just fantastic....

I installed it and well, it's very effective! I had 1-2 restarts of the home app though... but it's definitely an improvement!

Dorimanx: do you have 0 restart?

What about having the script run each 1 second? each 0.5 second? even less? Is there a limit?

Also, could you please explain how we can customize to shield another particular app?

Great job, keep it up!!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JJKameR:
Tweaks are really good. Only "bug" that I am experiencing is that on some boots it doesn't load all installed app on drawer.

App like xda sometimes aren't loaded and I news to restart to have them back.

Definitely odd.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] feanor91:
Hello

Thanks for your answer and your patch.

About swap, I follow strictly your post exept for the recovery_150... file version. As I said, I took this on the Typoon rom thread that is more recent, I think.

My work :

I made 2 partition under gparted : first fat32 second 1Go ext4 (because I need a lot of room for my application).

then task29, radio, magldr, recovery, as said in the tutorial of the rom.

After that I follow your tuto to make the swap partition, took 1024 for the ext4 (is it the same I create under gparted?) and took 256Mo swap, as you said.

Then flashing the rom

installing all my app

applying your last patch version

attempting to make the swap : failed.

I'm sad.

Regards.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
The Recovery on ROM PAGE is OLDER then mine.

Please update, then test!

I did all as i explained and no problems.

So as many people that downloaded my recovery 72 times! and my swap script over 40 :)

And no one complained! try it, all the rest do as instructed by tyween post.

Good luck
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Hi, thanks for feedback it's important! and only way for me to perfect my work!

So as i found the Shield is protecting as expected but the refresh can happen 1 to 3 time a day,

I am too getting that! but before is was unbearable!

I think that it's more related to clear RAM that my script do, maybe it's to aggressive and some times wipe all apps from ram to clear RAM for some demanding app such as GAME or BIG file transfer to SDCARD by USB

In That situation all FREE RAM diverted to BUFFERS to Speed Up the WRITE SPEED.

And this can unload the HOME app from RAM!

In normal way HOME APP is the Biggest RAM Eating APP that sit there.

So I need to work on the tests and look for a way to shield the HOME app from my Tweaks :)

About HOW to add more apps to protector i will post on new page soon.

Stay tuned!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
Well that is strange, should not happen i have 345 apps installed and all of them load fine on boot and work fast!

Try this!

Connect your phone to USB and in windows go to my computer find the removable disk (your SDCARD) right click and properties then TOOLS tab,

and Check NOW! and Push START

wait for it to finish.

If this will not help do the FIX Permissions from the CWM and check.

If this will not help, then reinstall that apps that not loaded on start up!

And i will check my scripts, but do your part too.

And please report back with the results! it's important!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] feanor91:
Damn! OK, just one more question :

if I do the change, is my ext partition will be lost (so will be gone my app and all the stuf stored on the ext partition) and if so, how can I save/restore it? A rom backup is sufficient?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
SUPER HOME APP SHIELD (How to add more shielded apps))

Deleted no longer needed
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
YES all SDCARD will BE WIPED!!! ALL Partitions!

I use the Titanium Backup PRO! he know how to backup the EXTENDED file system.

When you finish with backup, copy all from FAT32 normal partition to your DRIVE and then do all the RECOVERY part.

Dont forget that when you reinstall the recovery it's will wipe the ROM also!!!

Be prepared to install the ROM after UPGRADE.

After you done with partition the SDCARD VIA CWM including SWAP,

FORMAT THE SDCARD AGAIN WITH 32BLOCK in WINDOWS using CARD READER!

This Will increase READ/WRITE Speed for SDCARD!!!

Then Copy all back from DRIVE.

Install the Titanium backup pro again if ROM was been reinstalled and RESTORE all your stuff back including settings and system stuff.

Please report back.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] feanor91:
OK, I will try that, when I have some time, I have last week-end but for now, I'm little busy, I will keep you in touch, thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] alzorak:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dorimanx:
MY SWAP Activation GUIDE!

Many people think that this is not needed any more. well i must disagree it's way better with swap when you don't have any more RAM to spare.

When no RAM Android start to kill apps that sit in RAM and by doing this kills my apps that i use all the time,

So phone loads them again and use CPU power in process and killing other apps!

so it's a circle a loop, with swap no problem!

I have 37 apps in memory all the time.
​

So here is the guide to activate SWAP on your device!

​

Again read about it and only if you think you need it and you are heavy user like me! :)

Then follow closely to instructions!

1) This procedure will erase your SDCARD!!!

So before you begin backup all your stuff from SDCARD and the extended Linux partition to your computer drive!

You can use Titanium backup PRO to backup all, and then move all to your disk.

And after you finish, restore all back.

2)when you ready to format your SDCARD, install the Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache[v3.1.0.1].zip on my page 2!

3)when all done, enter to new recovery console, go to advanced and use the partition sdcard

Choose your preferred size of extended partition, then it's will ask you about the size of the SWAP partition! choose 256MB (the MAX) finish and turn your device OFF.

4)remove your SDCARD and using card reader format the FAT32 partition with 32Block NOT the 4096 by default. (this will increase reading and writing performance)

5)copy your stuff back as was to SD.

6)If your ROM working then proceed to 7 if not install your ROM and after restart install my tweaks.

7)now is the fun part!

DOWNLOAD READY FILE with the Needed CODE!

Here : View attachment swap.zip

1.download swap.zip file from above!

2.download from market

gscript lite

3.unzip the file swap.zip and copy swap.sh to

sdcard/gscript

4.open gscript and then push menu--->add script-->load file swap.sh and then save

5.press swap,wait a little and you will see a message "setting swap space" stdrr:

this script will run the 89swap script and activate SWAP instantly!

NO NEED TO REBOOT!

OR DO THE HARD WAY!!!

Copy File SWAP.SH to your SDCARD ROOT /

Open the terminal emulator,

type the commands

[B]su - [/B](hit enter)
cp /sdcard/swap.sh /
cd /
chmod 777 swap.sh
./swap.sh

Now you should see that you have SWAP of 256MB and 0 Used​

It's will start to grow and shrink automatically depend on your RAM use.​

My tips to make your phone better!!!

My TIPS TO YOU!

Apps that i use that make my phone more better then just clean install with my tweaks:

1)Using the Chainfire3D 2.0 Driver, very good driver, it's boosting the graphics by 30% to 40%, look for it on the market, and after install and reboot, go back to app and set At Default OpenGL settings Reduce Texture quality.

2)Using the SetCPU to OC to 1152Mhz and using SMARTASS governer and profiles that change the OC off when screen OFF and lowering the frequencies when battery is less then 20, and changing the governor to conservation, Phone is slow but alive for longer time.

3)Battery Calibration app to delete battery statistics after each new ROM installation (after charging to 100%)

4)AndTask only to stop the unneeded Apps from loading at start up! not using the task killer!

5)SD Speed Boost and set it to 3072MB auto set at boot. (we have already buildin script that set that setting but just in case)

6)Green Power Premium To Auto turn off DATA and WIFI on screen OFF (saving allot of battery power.)

7)Disabled the network location, GPS and Auto SYNC,

This is saving also lots of battery power.

I just enable it when i need it and when finish turn it back OFF, using the Power Control Plus (see my SKIN picks main page guide)

7)Using the lights.qsd8k.so for Screen DIM and real working Auto Screen Brightness, i really don't care that light notification is not blinking, it's just ON or OFF when i have notification.

I have posted flush install file with only this module and my preferred Dimming settings on PAGE 2

8)I will add your suggestion, post it.
​
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] zagzag99:
Thanks for keeping sharing your points and ideas.

What's your take on OC using rafpigna's kernel?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Magnumutz:
Just set those for real auto brightness :D

And also installed most of the apps you use :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dimqs153:

rom first or tweak first?

What can that kernel give us that we dont have on our kernel?

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Looki75:
Arrrrrrgh!!!!

After one complete day of use, I observed the following:

1/ Home app still re-starting time to time (8 to 10 times in 12 hours use) - while I did

not

use the phone heavily: just calls, texting, e-mails - no game :( Sometimes, I just leave the phone screen off, and when I'm back (1 hour later for example) I unlock and... home app restarts! :( And all of this with the autostart of killer script each 1 second! This is driving me crazy: I dream of a time when there will be really NO RESTART at all...

2/ Not sure it is due to tweaks and/or the app shield BUT: I did observe that battery if lasting far less time. Usually, I could easily use the phone from 6am to midnight. These days, I hardly make from 6am to 6pm... :( Lost 1/3 of the autonomy!!!! [and yes, I'm using Juice Defender - similar stuff than greenpower]

USERS! Please give feedback: is your home app restarting time to time? How many times in a day? After heavy use of the phone or not? Please share your observations!!!

Same with battery: do you see less autonomy?

Dorimanx!: How can I check that the "shield" script is actually working? Where can I see that priority is really set to -17??? How?

Thanks for your help.

PS: the above does not mean your work is bad; actually it's pretty good as I wrote earlier... I'm just trying to help you make your tweaks perfect! (if possible :rolleyes:)

Dorimanx (or any one else who may know)

I am on TyphooN's latest with Dorimanx's 1.7 -Full-All-Included and I am

I am using file editor(on my HD2) to gain access to the "build.prop" file that is found with in the "System" file.

I scroll down to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" I then change 240 to 190 but when I am

Ok- i install my progs - and run it all, in terminal i type free and the swap is really work. i reboot my phone....and .... I AGAIN LOSE ALL MY DATA ON NAND.Before your "tweaks" i never seen something like that (typhoon 3.3.8). Sorry - but I NEVER WILL USE YOUR "tweak" AGAIN.....
