could someone explain the 80DeepSleeper script to me. if you have an infinite loop running wont the phone never go into sleepstate so the 2nd core wont shut down and the cpu wont throttle?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
What up with V3...any news

Call it VIPER...lol
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
If you're sticking with the animated speedy theme call it Sonic!! Haha :)

[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
after sitting down and going through this script, v6, and navens script ive merged them into 1 script compatible the v6 installer script. since supercharger is the only dynamic one and the other 2 are static i made them work with it so they dont override each other.

i found out that 80DeepSleep is unnecessary. the gingerbread kernel will automaticly shut down the 2nd core when it doesnt need it. it also keeps the cpu freq correct without this script.

99SuperCharger was also removed since it overwrites the v6 script.

99Sync was added and all it does is "sync" which writes buffered memory to disk.

02setrenice was removed/edited because the nice values imo are way too high. if anything with a nice value of -10 or less some how messes up it will absolutely starve the other processes of time slices. if someone wants to try the values i set before i deleted it, ill attach my edit. since busybox's ps doesnt show nice values id assume that pretty much everything would have a 0 value.

01tweaks also has a few commented out lines in so that it didnt overwrite v6
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Can u either pm or post to me a small explanation of what renices does? I would try ir edits if I knew what they did really...or at least a link to a basic explanation please ....thanks for this....
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
i assume you just need the setrenice since i explained why i changed/ removed the rest. pretty much in a linux kernel every process has a nice value between 19 and -20. by default they have value 0. the lower the nice value the higher priority the process is. with most schedules, the lower the nice value, the more cpu time slices it gets. so a -20 niceed process will get more slices than a -15 which will get more than a -5. so what you do is if you want a process to not be able to be starved by another process you either raise the value for the one you dont want to be starved or lower the one you dont want to be starved. almost all processes have nice values between 5 and -5 and thats why i thought that the values were too high. pretty much unless you are the kernel you DONT give a nice value of -20 since what ever has that value will be compeating with some of the kernel processes for cpu time
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
So most of you are probably wondering where I have been. Well here's an update. Been working on a lot of things, business-wise, trying to grow my business, also working on Android stuff, got a replacement x2, but Verzion wanted to try sending me a Droid 3.. mixed feelings about it, didn't really like it, vibrator was weird, don't really use the slide out keyboard, heavy. Memory usage not so great. Worse than the x2, that's why they put 1GB in the Bionic (same OMAP dual-core as Droid 3).

Anyways, working on porting 1080p video on out x2. Won't be keeping the Droid 3, it's really not for me. With that said, out phones support 1080p just fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Why not just work on 720p @ 60fps? it is better quality than 1080p @ 30fps. Just my opinion though.
[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
You don't record things at 60fps, everything would be twice as slow as 30fps , you record at 24-30fps

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Yes but it is really cool to film at higher FPS. I'd love to see this on phones, I and other people would have to much fun with that lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
You are exactly backwards lol. You record at 60fps so that playback is twice as fast/smooth. More frames per second doesn't increase the time, it increases the frames, hence why it is frames per second not seconds to record each frame. I have several devices (ContourHD 1080p, ContourGPS, Contour+) that all record in various options including 1080p 30fps that doesn't look remotely as good as 720p 60fps.

[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
So anyone have any comparison between speedy and roadrunner, which is or has worked best for you?
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Nah, I am waiting for V3
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
v3 released! Check OP!
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
The zip wont install for me it gives error saying:

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Can't wait to get outta work and check it out!
[Motorola Droid X2] Redflea:
Would this be compatible w/an X2 running the Atrix port that Nevermind has released? Got that on my wife's X2 and thinking about applying this...

Also, anyone running V6 Supercharger w/these mods, and would they conflict?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Yep same here
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Haha you went with Sonic! Awesome thanks for all the work :)
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Anyone have any luck?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Nope... :confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Same......
[Motorola Droid X2] Redflea:
Why not do this?

"Installation

Depending on your comfort level, you may either unzip and move the scripts to init.d, or you may flash the flashable version."
[Motorola Droid X2] deep_powder2012:
Same thing....

So, I pushed the scripts in using Root Explorer, but the ZipAlign log was not showing up after 3 reboots.

So, I've now just gone into BSR to flash the init.d rehack (which I just did). I'm noticing something weird in BSR now though (after the error on the sonicv3 flash) - the back "option" (in menus) is not working all of a sudden. I couldn't back out to the "Reboot System" option (so I had to pull the battery to reboot). I was wondering if anyone else can confirm if they now this have this going on (I never had this until just now). I'm going to try reinstalling BSR.

At any rate, the phone booted fine. The "Itworks" file in /data says "last run: 12-31-1969 19:00:33", so that is incorrect (but the script ran, it looks like). The Zipalign log is not working though.

Hope this helps fix any issues. I'll post any other findings.

EDIT: BSR is fine after reinstall - appears to be just an anomaly.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
The loss of back in bsr happened to me when I flashed the Atrix port and updates.
[Motorola Droid X2] deep_powder2012:
Thanks. Did a reinstall fix it? I guess I'm about to find out anyway...
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Didn't flash on my end.. got an error install aborted
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Cant get this to work on the Atrix Port :( Rebooted several times with no dice. Deleted original scripts in the init.d folder that were preinstalled. I set permissions to rw-r-r . I havent flashed the Rehack because last time i tried to do this i broke the bootup and had to SBF. I believe the busybox version is 1.9 on Atrix port. Do i need to downgrade or do i need to flash the rehack?

Note last time i did the rehack flash i broke the Bootup.

Thanks and loved running this on eclipse v5
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:

just some anomaly.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I manually pushed them, and changed privs... ima try to downgrade Busybox now that I'm home and see if that works. How does the Test script work exactly?? I know what it does, I was just curious as to how the user will know?

Edit:

Downgraded busybox to 1.18.4 and still can not get the scripts to work on the Atrix port. I manually put them there, does anyone know if the Re Hack will break the Atrix Port?? I may have messed up last time. But anyway, Privs have been set and everything is in place.... ill try to rehack i guess ina min
[Motorola Droid X2] brossma1:
This won't flash for me any ideas
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I couldnt flash the files either (tried after i did the re-hack) but I pushed the files inplace and fixed permissions. Still not working on the Atrix Port :( any ideas anyone?

EDIT: Found an It Works Script in the /data folder, wasnt there before. Maybe it does haha But there is no ziplog file
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
We just need to wait for overmind to fix it...i will PM him.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Oh yeah, btw, haha, I took out the logs, and instead what you are looking for is a file called "ItWorks." If that's there, you're good. For those of you who are getting the status 6, I re-uploaded a new zip, let me know if that fixes it.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Yep...New zip works, Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
I just installed this but seem to have encountered a big problem. The phone app is now gone from my phone and I'm getting "no service". Running the Atrix 2.3.4 port.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Im running on eclipse .2.2 and so far its workig great, very clean, fast and smooth, it fly's...0vermind you are awesome...thanks looks great.

**Opinion Only** From my experience the atrix port is a little buggy and when i ran it i encountered many small bugs and performance issues, yes the battery life was good but some programs and services didn't like it, i had a lot of small weird bug issues. Im not saying its bad or anything but remember its still kind of in beta and needs refining. Just my opinion i know the devs are working very hard on that project and i salute them.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Working here also.
[Motorola Droid X2] danomat1073:
Zip worked great...thanks for all the hard work
[Motorola Droid X2] brossma1:
Reflashed last night all is well Thanks Overmind for your work
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
What does the Atrix thing have to do with this?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Nothing, just someone was saying they were having trouble with sonic and atrix port...I was just rambling... No harm was meant...i was just telling that guy that i have had problems with atrix port and maybe that was why he was having issues with sonic on it.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Works now!
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Oh lol I was going "wait he didn't make Atrix... did he?" .
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
I don't know enough about this stuff to say for sure, but looking at setRenice ...

renice -18 'pidof com.maxmpz.audioplayer' is meant to set the priority for PowerAmp, correct?

Does com.maxmpz.audioplayer refer to the process file (as, in this case, it would be listed in data>system?)

My PowerAmp file is actually named com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1 ... would this make a difference? If so, this might explain why some aren't having a better experience with music skipping after running/installing this script.

[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Well I decided to give this one more shot after installing the Alien Atrix rom... but this time it was even worse. Got stuck at the Dual Core screen and it would not booth any further. I cannot even get into recovery - going to have to sbf now. Anyone else using an atrix port have success?
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I have it working on the regular atrix port. I didn't flash, I deleted the scripts and pushed sonic and changed permissions. rebooted once n saw the it works file in /data. it should work on alien. I need the wifi otherwise I would test.
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
Have you noticed any gains in performance?
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Hmm.... I'm sorry man. I'll have to look into what's causing that. It could be the version of busybox my script installs (it's the one naven has in his--1.19 I believe), or it may be something entirely different. I guess for now stay clear if you are running Atrix port.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
I SBF'd to Froyo then installed P3's GB then Eclipse 0.6 followed by manually installing Sonic - works like a charm now! I'm not really sure what the issue was with 2.3.4 but hey it works great on Eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Yeh forgot about that.. bring Busybox down to 1.18.4, delete original scripts in init.d folder, push sonic scripts and you will be off to the races.

Performance? I got NO redraws, NO lag, Dl speeds around 1.3 mb/s 3g(actual dl), VERY VERY fast bootup, around 10 seconds from power off to you doing stuff, and overall very quick speeds in menus. OP out did his self on this update imo.

Edit: I had this working on atrix port. Idk about it working on Alien cause I haven't flashed it yet, but I would imagine it would work UNLESS you have to run busybox 1.19 on Alien. I think most are forgetting about the version on the atrix port.
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
I'm having terrible skipping, I think it got worse. Running Eclipse .2.2
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Yeah I think I'm getting more skipping and more lag in general than when I was running v2. I thought it was just me but my phone just feels a little more sluggish. I'm running on .6 remix.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Your boot time is ridiculous lol. Mines the exact same as before. A minute an minimum.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
lol I was like wtf the first time it did it. I thought my phone was messed up but yeh. BTW Battery Life on this script is rediculous. I got +4 hrs after recalibration(Do this once every 2 weeks, Habit)
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
Can you please post a link to v2?

v3 for me is a huge hit in performance. Apps take longer to do things, and music skips way more with v3.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
what music player is everyone using? i use winamp with no skips unless im doing heavy multitasking.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
I'm using PowerAmp
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
what version of busy box is best to use with this?
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
1.18.4 is the only version of Busybox that will work. Its in the ORIGINAL thread of why.

@dust. Have you tried to use another player?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
its weird when i set to 1.18.4 the scripts stop working they only seem to work with 1.19. It was set to 1.19 them i bumped it down to 1.18.4 now no itworks file.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

nevermind...i just reflashed and now its working...

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Overmind, can we use this with busybox 1.19 it seemed to work or is there something in 1.19 that screws with scripts?

A little off topic

Why is it with these and other scripts the newer busybox versions mess with them and you always have to use older versions? Im just curious...do the makers of busybox keep changing commands or something?
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
If it works on 1.19 then keep it at that. That is what the Atrix Port was based on so I would use it.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
I actually have not. I'm in love with PowerAmp haha is there one you recommend?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
PowerAmp is the absolute best music player on android period... the end.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
its weird when i downgrade busybox to 1.18.4 it stops working but when i reflash it bumps it back to 1.19 automatically....weird
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I use winamp because it syncs with my computer everytime I connect to wifi, plus it has shoutcast integrated. Last.fm was what I was using before that and I ran out of plays. So I went with winamp because of the features. I don't see the point in payin 10 bux for an app that plays music when winamp will do everything I want lol ..

Back on topic. try winamp and see what the results are. If it works then I guess winamp has a Big plus over Poweramp.

@mattfox27 are you using the jrummy app?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
i have tried both, jrummys and stephens...is there a way to hard uninstall like delete the busybox folder?

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

in the flashable zip it installs busybox 1.19 theres an xbin directory with busybox file in there...weird
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Just a quick question... should there still be a zipalign.log in the /data folder? Because it's not there anymore.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
no there should now be a file that says "Itworks"

[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
For the first time my phone made it through an entire day! It did it yesterday too, just wanted to make sure it wasnt a fluke. Thank you!

I was never able to get the original v3 to install so I dropped the files in init.d folder and deleted everything else. Your update just fixed the install I am thinking so I am going to leave it this way.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
am i smoking crack though...when you flash it upgrades your busybox i checked inside zip and there is a different busybox version in there that it copies to xbin folder its 1.19...my only concern with this is will having that version mess with zepps 3g turbo script? He recommends busybox 1.18.2

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

sonic doesn't work on busybox 1.18.4 at least for me i just tried copying the files into init.d and installing busybox 1.18.4 an i don't get the ItWorks in data folder but if i go and install zip it bumps busybox upto 1.19 and everything works fine...

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

I just want to hear from 0vermind about what the deal is with busybox, he must be busy. For some reason im just interested in whats going on here why do different busybox versions cause so many problems? No Worries
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
FWIW I have been using eclipse which comes with busy 1.19 git adrynaline and I have NEVER had a problem with zepps scripts except fir the KAK that had io tweaks. Which I don't think was due to busybox version.

3g turbo work fine for me every time
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Cool ya i also never had any problems with his scripts running 1.19 because i have been running that since installing eclipse and forgot to check it until recently so i thought i was running 1.18.2, i just wanted to see if it was ok because every different script seems to specify a different busybox version...just being OCD
[Motorola Droid X2] krazykevin76:
Sry if already posted but for those who don't see "itworks" in data folder, make sure you have show hidden files, mnt system, have root explorer on. Don't know which of the 3 did it, but I wasn't seeing anything in my data folder until I did the 3 above. Just a fyi ......
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
I ran this on the latest stock atrix port and it made a world of difference!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
I am giving Sonic a try for a second time, but I have noticed something that makes me curious.

I do have an ItWorks file in /data/ and the timestamp inside of the file is correct and up-to-date.

In the 99setRenice file, I notice that it says "renice -17 `pidof com.doubleTwist.androidPlayer"

I then went into /data/app/ and noticed that my doubleTwist's apk is not named that. It has an adjoining -1 in it's filename. It's com.doubleTwist.androidplayer-1.apk

I am wondering if that may cause issues with the way renice works. I have noticed that Sonic still has skips with my doubleTwist, which is why I am asking.

Thanks.

EDIT: I have left the renice for doubleTwist the way it was, but increased the priority of android.process.media to -17 to match up with doubleTwist, as I saw it was under Running services with doubleTwist. It turns out that it STILL skips! Perhaps setting renice isn't the proper fix for music skipping.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Try changing the script and see if that helps the audio player its just adding a 1 if not erase the 1 and report back here.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Just an fyi: the latest version of supercharger has an option to bulletproof individual apps. Seems to work on google music for me. Could it work in conjunction with this?
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
For those of you that are having slowness, like extreme slowness go into running services and tell me how much memory you have left. It should be over 100mb. I was able to reproduce this issue. Thought it was just me, I think I got it.

Mike

Tapin' the talk from my Droid x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Try it and let me know. I believe bulletproofing specific apps just makes them unkillable.

The problem with set renice is that the values don't stick. It's a kernel thing, I wish I had the source code of our kernel then I would make these values permanent. If the process isn't running, the nice value will not be set. Furthermore, what's frustrating, is that if you close the process and reopen it, the nice value is lost. It is the right way to do it, it just doesn't stick in our roms. Motorola did something that broke it essentially. Honestly though, Motorola needs to wake up and realize that this phone's lib files have bugs that causes music to not have a priority. I was watching a youtube video the other day on my phone and it kept skipping, watched it on my mom's Droid 2, and it played just fine. Very frustrating. If only we had the source code, then we could fix it ourselves.

So if you work for Moto, that's your mission. Leak some source code to me. :P

Edit: There's an app that I have been playing with, it's basically a GUI for renice. It's works pretty well. Those of you that are still having skipping, try it. Open up your music, start it on some music, then open up this app, select the app you are using to play the music, say like doubleTwist, set the value to like -17. Lower is better. The lowest it can go is -19 (don't do -20). Tell me how it goes.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
It seems to be working well for me i notice a big improvement in battery life. In my opinion speedy v1 worked better that RR v2 and this is better than speedy v1. If that helps at all, i found RR v2 slowed my phone down and i my available memory went from hovering around 90mb to 50-60mb. With Sonic it hovers around 100mb.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
What's really weird is I had to change some values in mine cause my phone was extremely laggy, and you're saying that your's is just fine on v3. Can this get any weirder? I'm thinking it might have to do with the amount of apps you have installed, the more you have, the lagger it gets? How many apps do you have?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Ya i don't have many apps installed, i use my phone mainly for business so email/navigation/calendars ect...im not really listening to music or streaming videos very often.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Are you on stock or another rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Im running a my own tweaked/modified version of eclipse .2.2 i would say its close to stock more than anything.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
downloaded this for the first time. anyone know how these stack up the the preinstalled scripts from eclipse remix 6.1?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Ok am trying this I'll let you know how it goes. I locked the app into memory using GoLauncher.

I set:

Music to -17

Equalizer to -15

Keyboard to -5

These do stay right on reboots? If so then thats good because I'll forget about it. I also get anywhere from 150 - 200 Ram free at any given time with a few locked in memory (Text, Internet, and others).
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I thought I found our kernel source on sourcescourge.net or something like that but im prolly wrong...I posted the find a while.back in project no root yet unlock thread ..sorry might not be what's needed just had to say it in case
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
For me it works very well but im on earlier eclipse versions.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

How are you getting 150-200mb free is that all the time or right on startup?
