Yea tht's what I flashed. I going to manually push the S97ramscript and see what happens :P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dbts25:
I uploaded it with changed mountpoint
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mcpaddington:
Right I manually installed it. Not really convinced it does a lot. Quadrant score went from 1065 to 1079. Not really a big enough difference to confirm that it works but it doesn't slow it down so you might as well flash :L

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mcpaddington:
Yea I agree with that. Start up is much smoother than before.

I read somewhere that more memory is bad on an Android system. I mean they wrote that if you have low memory free, then the android cached what you will need = faster system. Am I right or wrong?

I see more free ram, but i don´t feel more smoothness, using kuyadroid 2.4.108.

Today my phone did a reboot, i don´t know why. But before i installed this script, my phone was stable all the time
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timpot07:
try to use auto memory manager as said above your post.. i think its better as i was using that rom before... :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kuyagaol:
I've try so many different memory minfree setting in ramdisk or by terminal,

there are many suggestions but

I think it didn't effect the smoothness.

what do u think, n which is the right setting
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Senapone:
Which are the best settings for SysCtl Config on X8?

I was only able to find them for X10...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
for syctl config: if you follow the script of the OP you'll find that the Dirty Ratio is 95, Background Ratio is 5 and VFS cache pressure is 10.

Per my tests;) i found that the perceived fastest respons was a pressure of 1 but battery life suffers. i use 100 longer abtt life and smooth enough for me. There's not much use for the first line in the OP's script since we don't have a swapfile.

so try these: 1920, 5, 1, 1 and 2048, 95, 50, 100.

For autokill manager, i use optimum setting.

I hope this helps. ;)

BTW, these setting will should not have an effect on graphis benchmarks. If you really want to measure performance change, i suggest benchmarks that measure memory and probably disk to mem transfer. :p

What works for you? Auto kill, sysctl or script?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:
hmm anyone else try this? so what is the the difference between sysctl and autokiller?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
Sysctl deals with vm mem. Although we don't have this or swp. For some reason it works. Autokill mem mngr basically setup when the oom will autokill apps. This is a whole lot better than task killers since its the built-in manager. Setup how much mem you want free on the 6 cases et voila. :-) the OP script deals mainly with vm settings.

Sent from my TI99 4A
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:
how do you proove that sysctl works? should I enable oom in sysctl?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
Use the quadrant memory test only. Or use any other mem test app. :-)

1920, 5, 10, 200 oom checked. seem to work well with memory hungry apps. homescreen (launcherpro 0.8.6) just pops up seemlessly, no load lag after playing a game or from browser.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:
thanks viper

you should start a thread about memory optimization for x8 xperia...since this machine has very little internal memory needs to be managed well...

So you will get more responses from other people...and see if it really works
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] 7OH:
So - will it work on ANY rom (2.2 , 2.3) ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
Yes. it will work with any rom. these settings are basically linux vm settings. Depending on build your mileage will vary. for gen info try google-ing for linux vm settings. :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Senapone:
Hi viper!

Your link is finally clarifying!

In your opinion, the best settings in order to save battery life are high value (i.e. 2048-90-50-200) ?

Many thanks for your hints!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:
I was just wonderig, can't we just include all the viper's settings into the script provided by op? to prevent high memory usage by installing these applications
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
That's a pretty good suggestion actually. But a menu in cmmod settings maybe would be better. :-)

Musikdemon is the OP. He brought the script in from another source. I use a 3rd party app from market, which is easier for me to use. :-)

You can find it on Market ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Flasher8:
market is not donate version :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
Best setting depends on how you use your phone and the apps you have. The 2nd, middle one, give you a fast response but battery drains faster. Also, background apps don't work well. Great for NFS, heavy games, better set this while plugged in. :-)

[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
Hello...

I'm a newbie to modding phones (obvious from the question/problem I've about to ask). I have an HTC Inspire and I followed the one click rooting guide and installed Coredroid7 with the 3rd set of radio/RIL listed in that thread. With a bit of a struggle I got it working - worked great and I loved it. Unfortunately I found on the market place an app (Overclock Widget by Billy Cui ) - clicked on "load on boot" and a few bad settings and the entire phone froze. Since then whenever I boot my phone is stuck on the white screen with green HTC logo. The config on my phone is:

s-off

hboot 0.85.0019

micop-0438

radio 26.09.04.11_m2

emmc boot

I've googled all of the internet and followed advice such as reflashing the radio/RIL. went into recover and typed the "adb shell, etc... to remove files indicated (but they were not there)". tried to do recover but the recovery files werent there. At this state, there is only so many combinations you can do and I feel I have done it all.

there are a lot of advice on set cpu problem with other HTC devices but none of them work/can be applied to the Inspire.

Can someone please help me? In your answer please answer me in a dumb down way - keeping in mind I am new and have a hard time understanding acroynms and how to perform complex operations with the hint of a word phrase (ie - please be explicit for me on how to flash radio, instead of saying flash radio XYZ)

Thanks in advance

PS: I am already nervous/scared of what has happened, I am hoping I don't have to do a eng s-off as part of the solution please
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
based on my description (white screen with HTC logo) have i bricked my phone or is it in a boot loop?

i tried the following

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033353

also tried this:

but my phone does not have the file they wanted me to delete
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
If you see the white HTC logo your always okay. The problem comes when there is nothing showing, you must have changed some settings that won't let the phone complete some core processes.

This can easily be fixed by pulling battery hold volume down button and power and booting into Hboot. Then go into recovery factory reset and wipe dalvik_cache(under advanced) and flash the desired ROM or do a restore from a point your phone worked perfectly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
First... THANK YOU very very much for telling me it is not as bad as it seems.

I have done the following:

go into hboot

recovery option

wipe dalvik

flash coredroid7 again by having it be embedded in PD98IMG.zip however like mentioned above this fails.

Right now I am redoing the process again by formatting my sdcard, creating /download to put the PD98IMG.zip in follow the procedures again above. In case this fails, what are my options?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
thanks for the guidance. i flashed it again with:

CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_2.3.3_V7.0_RV

and I am out of the white screen mode.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Just remember if your phone boots up but not all the way its still ok you can save it. The easiest although most annoying solution is reflash the rom. Also i know you hear about people bricking there phone. I truly think its harder than anyone thinks. Good luck with the inspire. Also if you want overclocking/underclocking stick with setcpu(you can get it free for being an xda member just search xda). Let it auto detect speeds. Give it root permission (itll pop up asking make sure you check remember above the allow button). If your overclocking I recommend staying undler 1.6 ghz (1600 on setcpu) and go to profile select enable. Then set up a profile for screen off and set it for around 300 mhz to help with battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I think I've had about every kind of soft boot thre is on the sticky guide, and one that isn't, and I have always been able to recover (knock on wood). Even black screens...
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I was stuck in a similar situation once:I forgot to take off "load on boot" and increased the max speed all the way to like 1.9. And phone froze.

SetCPU gets permissions in the process of phone boot up, after the whole OS is loaded. There is a tiny time gap between home screen coming up, and SetCPU being granted SU permissions. So this is what I did:

I did a reboot. And after the phone starts, without giving any time opened the app drawer for "SuperUser" app, and took off SetCPU permissions from there. This denied SetCPU of it permissions and it was loaded at default speeds. Then I went into Settings-->Applications, and erased all SetCPU data.

Well, it took me like 3-4 reboots before I could master the timing to get to SuperUser and take off SetCPU from there. But it atleast saved me the hazzle of reflashing everything again. And yes sir, I forgot to take a nandroid backup :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:

[HTC Inspire 4G] freedompc:
same issue only worse

I have the same situation. I flashed absolution 2.0 last night. Everything went good. Turned it on this morning seemed to work fine also then I turned it off for work and tried turning it back on at the end of the day and it just runs a loop. I can get to the HBOOT menu but I only have 5 options; fastboot, recovery, factory reset, sim lock, and image crc. There is no advance settings and when I choose any of the available options nothing happens except the phone reboots (crc does run a check but then nothing). Hooked to my pc and it says found android 1.0 but I can't do anything with it. I have also pulled the battery and sims card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
What happens when you select recovery and press power?
[HTC Inspire 4G] freedompc:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andro2011:
Hi everybody,

Six months ago ive purchased in store htc desire.

I rooted the phone and everything was fine.

Five months later i decided to renew my rom and did again, but something was going worng and my device completely dead. No charging no recovery nothing.

I have a warranty for one year and i gave my device to this store where i've bought it.

One month their technic gyus in lab tried to revive him but unsuccessfully.

In the store iwas told that they connected with j-tag and didn't success.

There is a voltage or something like that in motherboard,but no bootloader. There is something problematic to software,but no hardware, therefore it's not under a warranty.The guy from the store said to me that he tried with j-tag and other methods,but no signals of life.

For replacing motherboard they want 350 dollars.Of course it will solve my problem, but 350 dollars:eek:

How can i revive my phone? and j-tag really must to help in this way if only boot is not ok and motherboard is good? So why they didn't success in this case?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
You can find here people you can contact that have jtag boxes: http://www.jtagbox.com/riff-jtag-bo...-bricked-phone-riff-box-owners-list/#comments.

If the tech guys told you that jtag didn't help, I doubt that anybody here can do something for you. Maybe the freezer mthod might work for you, but it is an extremely long shot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andro2011:
Thank you for your reply

1.Tell me if i can trust to these people in contact list that you gave?

2.Can you write what is the freezer method and what's the difference between j-tag and this method?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
1) Dunno. Those are people who are listed with desire jtag equipment. You said that in the service they've tried repairing your phone with jtag, which I think is the lowest level repair. There is no software solution to your problem. In your situation you have the definition of a bricked phone.

2) Put your phone in the freezer, wrapped in a plastic bag for 5 minutes. It's supposed to to make the circuit board contract and thus braking any short circuits you might have on your motherboard or reset some chip.

Truth be told it's an extremely long shot, I'm only speculating.

I did return my first one for the power button; but if you open it up you can see why. It's the mounts/glue. I figure if it happens this time it'll just be a matter of using some touchup strong glue to put it back.

Looking at the inside you can tell most of the rocker type buttons will have this issue eventually although the one "good" thing is that they will probably sell replacement body's which would no doubt be cheaper than the entire unit.
