[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeppelinrox:
I know deadline is better...but not all phones have deadline available.

I'm no guru on the topic and I go by what I read and read threads about the topic.

I don't take credit for the non-supercharger tweaks as they aren't mine and include links that I used as resources.

Yes I do say noop or deadline would be preferred over other common options on most devices. But the main thing is that both would be faster than what most people have configured - cfq.

btw, this thread seemed convincing that noop is performs very well on android

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948001

So forgive me for not consulting you first.

Oh, also...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noop_scheduler

But then again, you probably would have given me wrong information.

PS. So it seems that you're not all the bright either :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Yes. I'm aware of all that. The shortcoming of no-op is that it doesn't take into account demands of data. Some data should be fetched before other data, thus requiring a re-ordering of requests. It is best used on solid-state devices, but not THE best choice for them, necessarily. One might assume no-op to be roughly on par with deadline if some course assumptions about solid-state are made. No-op would be ideal on the SCSI5 array I built because a storage subsystem controller is re-ordering the data and caching it to memory. The latency times on that memory are exceeding low, as are write operations. In fact, the controller would send write-confirm commands back to the system even before data was actually written to disk to allow for more I/O operations. NAND solid-state is a different creature though. Read latency is certainly fast, however write latency is much, much slower in comparison. Because of this, simply throwing read and write commands at the storage subsystem wastes a lot of time since reads must wait on lengthy writes. Deadline holds significant advantage over no-op because it will suspend writes operations to ensure read request deadlines are met. In short, it mitigates some of the shortfall that comes with the NANDs lengthy write times. That's why I say it's significantly better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeppelinrox:
I see.

That's very informative indeed.

Perhaps I can determine of a user has deadline available and if so, use that and if not, use noop
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I've never professed to be a software guy by any stretch of the imagination. I will never be able to do what you and many, many others do with software, code, Linux, scripting... and of that. I just don't understand that stuff. I'm very much the hardware geek though. Column address strobes? Sense amps? I get that kind of talk. Looking at a script? It might as well be in Sumerian.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I forgot... I also wanted to explain that XDA thread a little.

It looks like he's basing his times on sequential writes, reads, then erases. Were that similar to real world use, his results would be valid, but seldom does anything work like that. Without knowing the specific IC of the flash drive in use, certain features of it can only be guessed at. Unless it's a virgin device or written to 0's, chances are writes are also going to come in conjunction with erases, which are a completely different process, and just as lengthy as writes. Because of how NAND works, larger erases and writes can be accomplished much faster by the address block rather than on a file by file basis. This is because NAND can only address blocks at a time. It has no random access capability for pages or bytes, either reading or writing. In short, his test demonstrates an ideal circumstance, one that is RARELY the circumstance of the real world.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
I ran his V6 Supercharger script, Kick Ass Kernel Tweaks, and the 3G turbocharger tweaks in build.prop....

noticed NO difference whatsoever...

Actually, that isn't true. The one thing that seemed to work was the part about making the home launcher "hard to kill", that actually seemed to work. I was having issues with Sense restarting itself, and this alleviated that issue. I noticed that even if I tried to manually stop sense, I couldn't kill it. Two weeks later I removed all trace of the V6 scripts and haven't had any issues since, no idea why, although now I can manually kill the Sense process and have it restart again.

Anyways... no, there was no performance increase whatsoever.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeppelinrox:
I did think that the noop result was too good in relation to the other results.

I would not think that it was that much faster (since deadline is better) so I was somewhat surprised.

Thanks for elaborating :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
On the Sensation, the Supercharger script gave me no speed increase. It did fix my launcher redraws though. The only thing this script helped me with is multitasking, switching between apps constantly was smoother, and more often they didn't get killed by Android's task manager.

On the Nexus S though, it did make a good amount of difference in the operation of the phone.

I think, on the faster phones, like the SGS2 and the Sensation, it only helps with multitasking..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeppelinrox:
Well I initially came up with it because of the launcher redraw issue... everything else was gravy... well... a whole lotta gravy... :D

I don't think SuperSmoother sounds as cool so I'll stick with SuperCharger anyway lol

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crockashat:
I have been on the Android market, and done some searching here on the forum and so far no joy.

I am looking for an app where you can set up lock/unlock methods for individual apps and/or settings. The ones I found and tried all seem to be setup when there is a password/pincode/gesture input and then all the APPs are unlocked at once. I am looking for one that I can set up separately.

For example:

APPs; G-mail,e-mail = specific password/pincode

APPs; wi-fi, settings, = different specific password/pincode

APPs; Titanium Backup, Root File Explorer = specific (but again different than the others) password/pincode

Is there an APP available that has this type of capability of multiple grouping under different unlock methods?

Also is there an APP or any way to place a direct link shortcut for the lockscreen (only - no display turning off ) on the display? The APPs I have tried from the Android market do lock the device OK but they also turn off the display. I would like to activate the screen lock WITHOUT turning off the display. Is this possible? I have tried going into the settings and setting never turn off screen while charging, and also setting the time out always on/never and still when I activate the lock screen APP the display turns off.

If there is an APP that has a setting capability that would allow for disabling the the display shut off when activating the screen lock would be ideal, if there is an APP that has this type of feature, please point me in that direction.

An help on these items would be appreciated, TIA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
You might try Perfect App Protector and see if it suits your needs. It does pretty well for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crockashat:
Actually that is the one I have been using (actually kept installed, from trying and uninstalling multiple other lock apps). but again it is the the same unlock method (password/pincode/gesture) to unlock all "protected" apps, you can set it up where the app has to be unlocked every time you try to open that particular app, but I have not found a way to have a different unlock method (password/pincode/gesture) for different apps which is what I would really prefer.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Please check your IMEI, and your Baseband version.

If they are not available, you will need to restore your EFS, if you do not have a backup, you will have to visit Samsung Service Center, or repair the EFS yourself.

Do not use another phone's copy of EFS as it is illegal to modify or clone your IMEI number in most (if not all) countries. You can however use someone's EFS backup, and mod it with your phone's IMEI if you know how to.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehe12:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbernstein:
In my sad experience, your only chance is going to Samsung and ask them to restore your IMEI. From what Samsung in BRazil told me, it should be in the same country of the device. As my device was imported from the UK, Samsung Brazil could not do anything, as IMEI database is Country restricted. I believe this info is correct as the representative was very helpful. It did not look like a lame excuse. If your device is not under warranty, it should not cost you more than U$ 50. That was the price here, and everything in Brazil is so expensive these days.

My solution was to buy another Galaxy S II in Brazil as it had been released here in between the time I imported mine and the time it got screwed.

Wish you good luck.
