Whoa whoa... remember this is Sprint's first Motorola phone that mattered since the Razr... most of us here are coming from HTC phones and have no idea what a "SBF" is or the "usual" way of flashing one. Do need to be in fast boot for this or just have the phone running normal and click go? A little bit clearer would be appreciated. The devil is in the details.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sixshooterz:
Finally got into Fastboot, was going to give your steps a shot. Thanks!!!

im waiting for a step by step or youtube cause im lost trying to read up on everything and different methods of how to get things to the phone with the promt.

OK now that Im unlocked Im trying to get that system.img flashed so I can be rooted and its not working. Can someone give me more precise directions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
Having same issue.. trying this ..

-EDIT-

Success! I am now unlocked and rooted and lovin it!

This just made the Photon a phone worth having.. I'm sure the Evo 4G gained popularity because of its rootability and now I'm sure the photon will too.

Thanks all!

I flashed the pudding sbf via RSD lite, process completed but said Fail. I pulled the battery as other users have posted, and now my phone is stuck at the M logo. Volume up/down do nothing in combination with power. Did I just hardbrick my phone by simply following the instructions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Odd....ok just install superuser from the market and I can walk you step by step on the cmd way
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
This is what I don't get : when opening a CMD window, since moto-fasboot has no extension (like .bat), windows comes back with a command not recognized message. So either the extension is missing, or we have to be in ADB shell (doubtful), or else ?

I have read and re-read the instructions in both threads for unlocking and I just can't run moto-fastboot no matter what directory I put it in (tools, platform-tools, whatever else I might try).

Also, I re-flashed the SBF pudding and can now get "starting fastboot", but it won't go any further, it will say "starting fasboot" forever. Is that normal ?

Not that it matters until I can get the moto-fastboot recognized...

Loopy Smoothness Script

- OP can be found HERE and eoghan2t7's tutorial from which I found this script is HERE

Many thanks to lpy for creating this script and to eoghan2t7 for creating his tutorial and continuing to pass this script along. Make sure to visit their OPs to thank (and possible donate) to them!​

***FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU NEED TO HAVE THE INIT.D FOLDER FOR THIS SCRIPT TO BE ABLE TO RUN.***

- So be sure to check /system/etc for the init.d folder. If you do not have this folder, try Gscript.

GummyCharged 2.0 Users!

- The Loopy Smoothness Tweak is already cooked into the ROM. You do NOT have to install the zip. Just get straight to adding processes you want!

Installation:

1. Download the Loopy Smoothness zip.

2. Put it on your SD card and flash using CWM.

3. Check /system/etc/init.d for 97loopy_smoothness_tweak (90Loopy in GC 2.0) using script manager.

4. Mount system as RW and open the 97loopy_smoothness_tweak (90Loopy) in text editor.

5. At the top of the script you will see USER_LAUNCHER="". This is where you will enter your launcher. You can find the process name for your launcher in /data/data. EX: com.android.launcher, org.adw.launcher, com.fede.launcher

6. If you scroll down some more, you will see different sections labelled "Resident system apps", "Other system apps", and "Other apps". On each line you will see a variable, PNAME="", here is where you will enter the process name of the apps that you wish to be stored in the cache.

*Once again, you can find the process names for your launcher and apps in the /data/data folder.

*Some apps are preloaded into the script. Feel free to change them.

*If you are using a line with "#" in front of it, be sure to remove the pound sign first or that line will not be used. Also edit the number of processes being used if you are adding more. It is the PROCESS_TOTAL variable.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Here are some build.prop tweaks that you can try if you want. These have been discovered and tested by user's within Zepp's V6 SuperCharger thread and are relatively new. Use them at your own risk! Please post your results with these seeing as they are still experimental.

Add either one of these to the end of build.prop (NOT BOTH). They help to improve snappiness of the overall system:

what does the kickass kernel tweak do? and can it be applied over imnut's PBJ or imoseyon's kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Hey hazard, don't forget for some depending on the ROM (humble) the 99supercharger.sh file is located in /data/
[Verizon Droid Charge] Piercing Heavens:
Same question here too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Yes you can use it over Imnuts' PBJ kernel.

It actually does various thing to build.prop including some more 3g tweaks. It definitely improves response times (snappiness) though. (I know, not really what you were looking for but I'm digging and will update this post when I find more info.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeppelinrox:
****... you never told me specifically that it boosted your 4g...

Now I got me some ammonition! er... ammunition! :D

Thanks ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Thank you. Can you write more for Kickass, Loopy, AND 3G optimizer? Muuuuch appreciated.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] randywintle:
I just put it on, couple questions.

How to remove if needed?

Anyone experience battery life hits with this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
I actually never knew for sure. I just flashed a ROM over and figured I'd do some testing for the heck of it. That's without the other build.prop tweaks though. I may throw those into the "Reserved 2" post after putting up Loopy Smoothness, that is if it'ss all right with you. Otherwise they'll sit until you've released the V8.

They'll all be included in this thread over the next week. Be sure to check back!

If you would like to remove the V6 SuperCharger, there is a "UnSuperCharger" and "UnKernelizer" option. It's numbers 13 and 14. You can also go to /system and delete build.prop and rename build.prop.un3g to "build.prop". I would then reboot your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeppelinrox:
Had you applied the kernel script during those tests?

I found that the kick ass kernel tweaks improved net speed even more - after the 3g tweak had already been applied.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Yes, that is with both the KickAssKernel and the 3g TurboCharger tweaks. I figured that they go hand in hand. I've never actually ran them independent of each other.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeppelinrox:
Good point :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] pc1990:
This is great Hazard! To those of you scared to use this...ITS FLAWLESS! I just applied it on gummycharged froyo 1.9.1 and definitley can see a difference. I also applied the 3g and kernel scripts as well. When and if you do install the kernel script, use the non-IO version because the other version (as Hazard stated) bootloops.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pc1990:
Hey Hazard just a quick question...

When I installed the v6 supercharger I was using the stock launcher. I use ADW launcher instead now...do I have to reapply the v6 supercharger or does it work automatically with all launchers?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
No problem! It should be working regardless of your launcher.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure now that I think about it. Re-run the original V6 script and see if it tells you that your launcher is Hard to Kill before selecting any options.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pc1990:
Ok, I'll try it out. Thanks for the reply!:cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] billku:
Hey Hazard, if I've already applied option 6 in superCharger a few days ago, can I go back in and do option 11 like you suggested and still have it stick? I did have to go and find that 99 file and have it load on boot manually, if that matters to my question... Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
You can just run the original V6 script again and select the options that you want. You don't have to stay committed to your settings at all. Since you've already set the 99SuperCharger file to run on boot and as root, there's no need to do anything else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
Im on GummyCharged FE 2.0 and I just applied all those tweaks, as stated the minfree values did not hold. I went to go make the changes you suggested but I do not have an init.d folder and could not locate a 98tweaks file. Can someone please point me in the right direction????
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
You need to have root explorer or or any file browser with root capabilities. Then you go to /etc/init.d/ there you'll find 98tweaks and then follow hazards instructions. Make sure you mount r/w before editing the file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
Found it, thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
adw ex is org.adwfreak.launcher

easiest way to check is to load up program in the market...the name is at the end of the website address......or its listed inside the system but I forgot where
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Ok, well I am running the V6 Supercharger script and following the how to, but it just talks about option numbers rather than saying what the name of the option is, so for these steps:

6. Choose a setting. 6 is a good place to start. Personally I use option 8.

7. Now choose option 11. This will fix the OMM groupings.

8. Then enter option 16 to reboot your phone. Option 20 in update 3. (It will happen immediately)

Is option 8 the MegaRAM 1 w/512mb setting? If I am running GC 2.0 do I want that or option 6? Or is either fine if I want to keep the kernels minfree settings? Then is option 11 OOM grouping fixes plus hard to kill launcher? Then the confusing one is where it says option 16 to reboot the phone, but option 16 is called Engine Flush-quick boost&eliminate lag. Is that what I want? Or is the part that says Option 20 in update 3 saying that the option you want here is option 20 for the update 3 and later script?

I think it is saying that I want to use option 20 instead of 16 if i am running update 3 of the script or later but I just want to make sure. Also, if I decide I want to run different settings, is it as simple as just running the script again and choosing new settings or is there something else that has to be done?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
After applying the fix to the kak kernel, I can't still watch videos in high definition. I mentioned this before the only way I can watch videos in wifi or 3 g is to turned them landscape and switching off hq.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Yes option 8 is the MegaRAM 1 setting. The quick engine flush is for if you haven't rebooted in a while and you have lag resulting from that. Read Zepp's OP about the latest V6 update beta it has all of this info. If option 16 is reboot for you then use option 16, if option 20 is reboot for you then use option 20. It depends which version of the V6 you are running. Regardless, just reboot. To change the settings just rerun the script.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Thanks for getting back to me. I ran it and assume things are working correctly. I get the decimals for minfree values so I think that is right.

Do we have to check run on boot or just run as root? Thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
As stated in the OP, you only have to do this for the 99supercharger file init.d. Do NOT set the V6 install script to run on boot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aptalca:
So loopy smoothness is already baked in, but what about the V6 supercharger?

I see that imoseyon made the kernel so that minfree values would not be changed by V6. Does that mean he already set them at similar values to V6's default values (option 6?) and also included the hard to kill launcher??

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] vi3tboiii54:
I accidently installed loopy smoothness in cwm on GC 2.0 but do i still have to change USER_LAUNCHER="" to the the name process of the launcher im using?

[Verizon Droid Charge] zeppelinrox:
did you use the kak version with io scheduling tweaks?

It seems to be working alot better with a much less chance of a boot loop
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
I used the one from the third and it boot looped my phone. I haven't tried today's until somebody does it first I don't want to reflash my phone again

Isn't it possible to just delete 98kickasskernel or do a quick nandroid restore?

But yeah a few users that used to bootloop have it working now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
I just tried it, and it boot looped my phone.

And I tried the one with no I/o and YouTube still didn't work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
If I followed your instructions, but didn't take the steps to mess with imoseyon's minfrees, is there any benefit?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Holy smokes. I just applied megaram (option 9) on gc fe 2.0/imoseyons kernel with oc to 1.3ghz and some pretty aggressive uv. I have to say this is probably the best experience I've had on a touchwiz based rom. Whilst typing this I was able to switch between tapatalk, mms, opera mobile with several tabs open, and my homescreen (adw ex) with no lag and no redraws. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Not particularly. It's just if you want the option to change them yourself. Overall fixing the OOM groupings and making your launcher Hard to Kill should still have a desirable effect.

It's always good to hear positive feedback. :D Make sure to thank Zeppelinrox!
[Verizon Droid Charge] foister82:
Not sure if im doing it wrong, but the 3g turbo charger is giving me lower speed on everything except option 5 which gives me the same i was getting before (200-400ish down 850ish up)

running EP1W debloat
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
YMMV with any of the tweaks. Are you using speakeasy.net/speedtest since you're running GB? The speedtest app doesn't give accurate numbers when running GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] foister82:
speakeasy via the browser.

will test at home later too
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
You also have to test in the same location and timeframe for the tests to be accurate, but like I said YMMV. So if it's not doing it for you, you can delete it. It's not like the script has hard feelings. ;)

Any changes with Humble 1.6?

I am now running Humble 1.6, do I still need to follow the exact instructions in the first post or is there an update in the process with the latest Humble. Do i still need to replace busybox and stuff?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jpolzner:
If i don't have an /etc/init.d folder, can I just create it and the scripts will run at boot, or do not all kernels support init.d scripts?

I'm running stock EP1W kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Seeing as I've never used Humble, I can't tell you. Try downloading the busybox installer and seeing what version your running. You can try it without changing and letting me know.

Use Gscript if you don't have an init.d folder. It's in the OP. Not all kernels have init.d folders.
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
Which file manager to rename busybox

Hey, for the humble users, which file manager are you using to rename the busybox file in the system/xbin folder. Astro won't let me alter the file so I tried with Ghost Commander with root and while it does let me put in the title, i'm not sure if it is taking. after renaming it I went to Titanium to check and it still says I am running 1.18.4

How should I go about this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackMagicNights:
I was using V6 Supercharger and a wifi tether to download HD shows on netflix. It was amazing how fast I was downloading a show until Verizon closed my connection. :(

Still.

I had to redownload V6 Supercharger, and do the loopy again.

A tip for people, when I had to "Mount /system as RW", the script manager kept resetting that option everything I closed Script Manager. So If you have to edit a file make sure you check that option every time you use the program under Advance Options>Configuration. Also, use the Script editor, not another program to edit files. (I kept trying to rewrite a file using astro instead of the Script.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You can also use ES File Explorer. Whichever u use, just make sure you mount /system as R/W before trying to rename the file. Then run the Busybox installer app and load up 1.18.2
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Script manager is a good free program. There's no reason why it shouldn't work with Humble. I would download the busybox installer from the market and then when you run the app it will tell you which version of busybox you have installed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackMagicNights:
I've done all these steps and my minfree values stick for a minute after the boot. I placed the Script Manager Widget on my screen to check it whenever and the values go bacl to "1.34234,......" not "6,10,24..." or any other option like agressive or mega Ram. I've double checked to see if my editing of 98tweaks and 99Supercharger stayed and they did. LOL I have done this sooooo many times because maybe I'm the idiot who missed a step but I pretty much memorized the steps to the point where I could sing them in the shower.

:o

Sooo. Everytime I do option 20 and reboot and check to see if minfrees stayed, they did. But a few minutes later when I check with the Script Manager it goes back to the original numbers. I don't mind sticking with the original numbers but if there's a chance I can perm. change them then cool. Its like that math equation you don't need to solve you just have to have the answer....

:o

One more things. In V6 Supercharger. When you run it and options 6, 11, 20..... It says "Slot 3 sets FREE RAM & is your NEW TASK KILLER!" does that mean I can just delete my Automatic Task Killer?? or should I leave it. :) :confused: :o

I'm on Droid Charge, GC 2.0 murdercharged
[Verizon Droid Charge] msburr87:
Yes android has an internal task manager, what v6 does is adjust those parameters. I would guess that auto task killer is overriding your values, should stick after you delete atk and rerun the script. There are quite a few good write ups against task killers on the market, especially if your rooted you'll never need one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackMagicNights:
THANKS! It seems to be working now. If anyone else has this problem, Delete your auto task killers and other task managers. You have to delete their data as well. I also deleted the data of the build in task manager by Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Task Manager> clear data. I recommend everyone who have the Script Manager Widget for the V6 Supercharger on the screen to make setting up and checking your values much faster.

Edit: It didn't work. Ill try a different V6 Update. Thanks a bunch though.
