As to music skipping and popping ...

I'm currently using PowerAmp (the paid version) and noticed an improvement after running 0vermind's scripts.

As a reference, I'm running P3D's preroot GB, 0vermind's scripts and sd cache for both cards set at 2048.

I was also able to attenuate some of the intermittent popping by moving PowerAmp back to the phone's internal memory. If you have your music player stored and running from an sd card - internal or external - this might help a bit.

[Motorola Droid X2] Kanibull:
Since you said more ram would be used for cache purposes, should I be worried that with all your scripts I've had about 170-200 mbof ram free on idle?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Been running this since release, battery life just keeps getting better!
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
I'm skip free with this script on eclipse 5 and power amp!

[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Awesome! :)

How many hours?

I would only be worried if there is no zipalign log in /data. Each phone is a bit different. Especially since my phone runs, on average, around that (175mb is about average for me). Sometimes it drops to 100mb but not for long. Gotta keep in mind that a lot of that is reclaimable. Eg. when a process gets opened that needs more memory that is currently free, the system will purge the open cache and make room for it.

How does this work? [collapsible]What it's doing is the system takes whatever write request and every read request and shoves it all into a list, first come first serve (aka noop), best way flash memory operates. Before anything is written to the disk it's in the memory for a few seconds, or however long the system deems necessary, which is dependent on how much is already in the memory. These are called pages. (To better understand all of this think of how Windows works with a page file.)

There is another value introduced and also mentioned below. The system will "read ahead" files on the sdcard and on the disk. In a prediction sort of way, thus it grabs the next megabyte before it's actually requested (prediction), and the next 2 megabytes on the sd card, and puts it into the memory, all ready to go, making things a lot smoother (and making boot up times a lot faster for the system and for apps).

So there you have it, a long explanation.[/collapsible]

I was actually going to touch on that, your music player definitely needs to be in the internal memory. There are just some applications that plain work better. Music players, photo galleries, camera apps, browsers, these things run better in internal memory.

Oh btw, my new version that's coming out will look for old stray files from the delvik cache and remove them. Cool huh? :cool: Only takes about 5 seconds from start to finish, and definitely helps future boot times and memory usage. Check OP for full list of changes that will be coming.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Running your script for the first time and I'm definitely pleased. Nice work.

0vermind: Will update you on battery life when the phone dies
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
I went a solid day and a half with moderate usage. I just re-calibrated my battery so its still not to its max just yet. Heavy usage I get probably 6-8 hours. Texting, calls, installs, games, web.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Sorry if this has been answered, but how would I tweak my minfree values? I'm averaging about 130-140 free, and loved how my phone ran with 200+ free. That's what I had with Eclipse v5.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Guess I should have read more thoroughly, but I don't know how to read the values when they are all written out. Used to seeing it in a two digit format...
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I'm thinking about using the same lowmem values Naven used for this script. Don't see potential harm..You figured out how to read then in the long format by chance?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Lol. No I didn't.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
I believe the conversion is to divide by 256, then you get numbers that resemble the ones you would set in V6 Supercharger. in the two and three digit realm. Hope this helps/ is correct. :)

***edit:

for the script I have been using I decided to go with the suggested values given by zepp, back when the pre-root GB came out and people posted some of the default minfrees that GB had. I changed the /parameters/adj echo from (0,2,4,7,14,15) to (0,3,5,7,14,15) and parameters/minfrees echo from (2560,4096,6144,17408,19456,23552) to (1536,3072,20992,22784,24832,32000). If my math is correct this makes my minfrees (6,12,82,89,97,125)
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
very happy with this script. You do good work, and you deserve a beer for your work.

Installed using the flashable zip but had to use the rehack to get the zipalign log to show up. My phone feels faster now.

Here's a before and after screenshot with the benchmark app.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
The logic seems air tight! Thanks. I believe I'll dig through the v6 thread and see what I can find.

EDIT: After a quick search, the formula appears to be: x*4/1024=mb where 'x' equals the number of pages (long form) and 'mb' (obviously) equals RAM (short form) OR your method of dividing by 256 will also suffice. :D

Benchmarks
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Hey Overmind, I just loaded this for the first time & I'm very impressed with the performance boost & benchmark scores. The only glitch has been my 3g speeds. Before, I was consistently logging 2.4mbps d/l & .7mbps u/l. Now I get 1.3mbps d/l & .6mbps u/l. I'm coming from naven's midrange init.d & his modified build.prop which has his 3g tweaks. Does the init.d value override the build.prop & if so, can I just edit out the 3g section of your tweaks file to revert back to the build.prop values that work better for me?

Update: Found the answer, thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] mohoho:
thanks. Wish I knew this earlier.

Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] mohoho:
Just want to say thanks to the great hack. My phone was fully charged. It has been about 30 hours and my battery is still at 70%. That 30% did the following:

about 10 minutes of phone call

about 40 minutes of meridian mp3 music playing (during work out)

about 8 hours of bluetooth always on.

about 40 minutes of WiFi usage-check email, browsing, sync calendar/contacts etc

the phone has been always on.

Before the hack, I think I would have below 50% with the above usage pattern.
[Motorola Droid X2] mikeeg02:
Judging from mohoho's first post saying hes using droid3safestrap, Id dare to say hes using a droid 3, in which safestrap is compatible with the droid 3s.

However, I am also unable to do the init.d or the speedy script via safestrap. May have to uninstall it and run koushes back. As it seems on the 3's is the way to go. Still running the stock/modded rom here.
[Motorola Droid X2] mohoho:
yes, I have droid 3. SafeStrap will NOT install the hack. Had to use BootStrap.

Is there any way I can install these scripts on a RAZR XT910 stock ROM?
[Motorola Droid X2] UN5EEN:
I flashed this about 2 weeks ago and on the first day I noticed a considerable difference in speed and functionality of my phone. After about the second day my phone seemed to have gone back to normal and since then it seems to have been losing battery life and speed more and more quickly. I txt minimally, facebook, play wordfeud and instant message occasionally as well as listen to music off and on throughout my day and I can't make it a full day without my phone getting to %15 percent if not going dead on me. Any suggestions as to why this may be or how I can go about fixing it?

Currently running Eclipse 2.0 on a Motorola Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Cdjones187:
Just wondering if this will work on ICS builds as well?

I've flashed it with safestrap MANY times and had no issues.. Of course you have to be in the safe system to be able to flash anything at all though. Maybe that was your problem?
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
once I run this....how do I know it is working. I ran it but I dont think it worked. I was listening to music and my phone dropped from 87% to like 40% in about 2hrs or so. I think I only checked facebook and read USA today on it for a bit.

What am I doing wrong?
[Motorola Droid X2] Cdjones187:
Use a file explorer and check in /data for a file called ".itworks"

May have to go into the file explorer settings and find a option to let you view hidden files, anything with a "." in front of it is hidden.

You can also look in /etc/init.d for 3 files called "01speedyMain", "97memoryCharger" and "test"

PREVIOUS POST UPDATE: I just flashed on ICS (D3 build) and I don't have a .itworks file in /data but I do have the other 3 files in the init.d folder, and no other files. Isn't there supposed to be a init.d file in the /etc/init.d directory? Or does ICS not have a init.d file, meaning this doesn't work on ICS?

UPDATE2: Just did a search with root explorer and there is no init.d file on the D3 ICS build.
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
Ok. I used root explorer and I do have the itworks file. To reset my battery do I just go into the. Advanced setting in bootstrap and wipe battery? Or is there a better way to do this? Do I need to be fully charged when this is done also? Thank you for your help!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Download battery calibration app from market and.follow directions ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
Thank you!
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
I did the battery calibration lastnight. Like I said, I do have the "itworks" file. But I am honestly not seeing any difference in performance. I have read many posts about how people are seeing a large difference in performance and battery life. I dont think I am getting either.

I am not using any task killer or anything like it. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

When I SBF'ed to install the new version of eclipse, i noticed that the stock 2.3.5 ran a lot faster than eclipse. Again I saw....WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?!?!?!?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
You're not giving in to the placebo effect ;) ;) ;)

There are are certain useful things in the script but it all depends on your use of the.phone and all that yadda yadda yadda....

Simply put....if u aren't seeing a big difference it doesn't.mean u did anything wrong. ;););)
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
i dont really use my phone that much. I dont think i made a single call on it all day. I checked FB a few times. Texted my wife and read a few things on USA today. That's about it. I haven't played a single game and right now I am down to 29%. I took it off the charger at midnight lastnight. I figured with this V7, i should have more battery with hardly using my phone today.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
All else failes.....check out the stickies I know they say in several spots to use bootstrap recovery and where did you get safestrap pretty sure I never saw that in any x2 forum.

A piece of useful advice....read stickies post questions in the q/a forum. We will help ya but the stickies have a lot if useful info. They will save you a lot if headache like trying safestrap. Happy modding

Im sorry for being such a noon but what are stickies? You kinda lost me there. Thank you in advance for your help
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
They are threads that are permanently posted at the top of each forum. The admins "sticky" them at the top because they have important information that they want people to easily find.

Stickies are most often forum rules that tell you things like what you can post and etiquette. Stickies most often have information that people frequently want to know. Helps avoid people asking the same questions and people offering varying answers. Keeps the threads cleaner.

Take a look at the Android Development section of the X2 forums. At the top are 2 stickies.

The first is "[REF] Roms, Root, SBF, RSD, Bootstrap, Mods".

The second is "[REF] ALL ROMS | ROOTING | FAQs | STICKIES | POSTING RULES | Read Before Posting"

You know they are a sticky in XDA because they have the Push Pin icon next to the thread that keeps them stuck at the top.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:

Speedy V7

I have a Bell Mobility Droid 3 (Milestone XT860). Can I use ADB to push this script to the phone without having a recovery? Or do I have to install a recovery before doing this? I know we can do it through recovery as well as ADB. Just want to insure that I don't brick my phone.

Sorry I've been so quiet everyone. I guess the cats out of the bag, I got a Galaxy Nexus a little while back. :P But the great thing about Android (and Linux in general) is that everything is very much similar or the same. (In some ways.) That's why my scripts run on so many devices. (Though I have yet to figure out how to get init.d support on the Toshiba Thrive tablet I have.)

I am now encouraging modification and improvements of my work. Just be sure to be post your modifications, what you changed, what you think has helped, or what you discovered did this or that, etc. If you ported the scripts to another device (I encourage you to do so), post them for everyone to see! I will continue to post my modifications and anything else I find. I think opening up my work is most beneficial.

Thanks everyone!

I've been used this script on my GSM Razr, and it worked fine...

However, then I tried to update via OTA (65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03) today, I found that another status 7 showing error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip...Even after I deleted the 3 files in /system/etc/init.d and reboot, it still failed to update...

Actually I have used this since the 65.1.12 version, i.e. the original rom that came with my phone when I bought it...and similar status 7 was shown when I tried to update it to the 65.1.21 version a month ago...All these 2 cases I had to flash the fastboot files in order to update it successfully...

So do you have any idea that I can completely restore the effects done by this script for the coming ICS upgrade? Many thanks!! :D

And it says that it worked during installation, but when I went to check my /data folder, the .ItWorks file isn't there (yes, I have show hidden files turned on)... Should I be looking somewhere else since I'm using safestrap? Or is it possible that CM9 is screwing things up?
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Safestrap you are using a bionic? Safestrap is just another form of cwr the file should still show itworks. I use root explorer what are you using?

Sorry re read and see you are not using a bionic. Not sure. Itworks on dx2.

Ive been having phone idle issue. Someone told me 2% per hr is reasonable. So I checked today, and after only used my phone to make a few phone calls and update three app, I have 65% phone idle. It says 22.5 hrs on batt. So thats over 3%. Seems to be too much. Could it be an app like widget locker that i have been using the last couple days to gain a transparent lockscreen?

Is any one else experiencing batt drain without an app like widget locker running along with these tweaks?
