Is there a way to "automate" most of these script. I mean, everytime I'll flash a rom, I would have to go through these scripts over and over again...

Would be great to have them all grouped in one handy script (shell script) or even better through an Application on the Market where we could select tweaks to apply.

Thanks for posting this collection!

JUST FOUND: "Scripter" on the market... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KCRic:
Well before you flash a ROM, open it with 7zip or WinRAR. Pull out the build.prop file and add the lines you want in that.

For scripts, use notepad++ or something similar (regular notepad works fine) and create a plain text file. Add the lines you need in there. Name it something like "76bootscripts" but make sure there's no file extension like txt, doc, nothing at all. Put that in the /etc/init.d folder, close out the archive manager and flash the ROM. Save a copy of that script file to insert into your next ROM - the build.prop file must be done manually every time (though you can just copy 'n' paste the lines).

Here's an example of how the file should look (don't use this one!! The RAM/Cache setting will boot loop your phone).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brenix:
Awesome collection of tweaks.. Thanks!

I've ran into some issues when copying/pasting some of the init.d tweaks... I kept receiving an error "directory nonexistent" when trying to run the init script manually. To resolve this issue, I removed the space after the > in each line.. For example:

echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

changed to:

echo 4096 >/proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

Maybe the OP needs to be updated??

Hi,

Great tweaks list!!!!

i will use some in my ROM! thank you!!!

But i have one correction for you!

busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh /system

this will lead to ROOT loose on device!!!

it's should be like that!

busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh /system

Then no problem :) it's only about system, all the rest are ok!

Again thanks for your hard work!!! :)

Hello all! For those who don't already know: The single easiest modification I've found to really increase download speeds is using these values in the build prop. I think he went thru this already but for those who missed it I can say that this is the most benificial mod I've mad. These values work on my inspire & are SUPPOSE to work on all "4g" compatible phones. This brought my speeds from 2200ish to 5000+ in combination with the V6 supercharger scripts:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1(surf while u talk). ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6(I've seen 6 or 7)

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

(it is also recommended to reboot twice to for the settings to apply. Don't know the reason for this but it's said it needs to be done)

The "28" is suppose to enable AT&T's so called "4g" network. I'm not saying this WILL work for u but I haven't seen it fail yet so it's worth a try. Just make sure u have a backup before editing build prop, of course. I hope this helps someone else as much as it did me :')

P.S. I used these settinge for over a month on several different roms before sharing it without issue

P.S.S. All AT&T devices will have these setting in build prop already so edit the existing values, don't add these to the build prop as well

Don't add hardware dependent tweaks carelessly. Hardware mappings change from device to device and some custom ROMs don't make use of the GPU.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Task killers are usually useless. Android already has a built in task killer and app swap. So, it's just another app to drain CPU and network for ads.

However, I still use a Task Killer for a number of reasons.

1) Sometimes, some apps misbehave and need a restart. Of course, in CM7, you press-hold return key to kill the foreground app but when it's background or something you want to kill it, you need a task killer.

2) When about to load memory intensive apps, killing all tasks manually frees up RAM and makes loading a bit smoother. Of course, Android can do this without a Task Killer but I just like that really smooth feel during smooth.

3) When phone becomes sluggish since many CPU intensive apps are running. Android kills apps based on memory usage, not based on CPU usage.

4) When you want to make sure no 3rd party apps are running. For example before a benchmark.

However, I do not use auto-kill. I just need the kill-all or kill selected once in a while.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

GPU tweaks depend on ROM/kernel and device. GPUs are usually manufacturer specific. If everything that is needed for GPU to function properly is there, this tweaks will work and provide a performance boost given that the manufacturer or ROM dev has chosen to ignore or override these preferences. Try an OpenGL benchmark &/or something like Neocore.

Last but not the least, thanks to the OP. Excellent article. I've been looking forward to something like this. Thanks a lot man.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HTCinspiration:
Or if u just use the V6 supercharger script u don't have to worry bout ANY of that. Makes phone zippy & it stays zippy. If I need to kill an app that bad I'll just do it manually but I never do. Thanks to Zep & his amazing scripts! :')

Add the tweaks one tweak at a time, then you can see what tweak is causing your problems and still use the biggest part of this awesomeness.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nibras_reeza:
5, 6 and 17 should not cause any issue.

Among 2, 3 and 10, 10 might cause the camera app to hang.

2 and 3 may make the device sluggish.

I prefer to use 24MB heap size. This is the Android base. Heap is similar to Xmin. It is the lowest or rather the starting amount of memory assigned for the app. If the app needs more memory than default heap, the VM can allocate more memory as needed. A very low heap will make the first launch after every boot sluggish. Switching between running apps will not be affected.

Using a very high heap will cause the VM to use too much memory. This will result in a more than needed amount of memory being assigned to each app. So, app switching will become slow and so will launching new apps.

Raising JPG quality will probably raise only the CPU and GPU load. You can verify this by using CPUSpy from the market.
