[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
These are some of cool scripts found in different sections works with Vibrant.

I will keep adding and updating working scripts as I find them.

Ofcourse, I didn't wrote myself. Thanks to knzo for providing code.

What I did is bring them together here, so can be accessed by ROM chefs & users easily.

What Scripts are included:

strict minfree handler tweak

internet speed tweaks

vm management tweaks

misc kernel tweaks

battery tweaks

EXT4 tweaks (greatly increase I/O) (needs /system, /cache, /data partitions formatted to EXT4) --> Don't use on MIUI/CM7

Defrags database files

Remove logger

microSD card speed tweak

Loopy Smoothness tweak

Darky's Zipalign

Juwe's Ram Booster Script

To use these tweaks place the respective files in system/etc/init.d folder before flashing your ROM.

Some of tweaks are reviewed in below post.

> Works on any OS preferably Froyo and Gingerbread.

> Needs init.d access and busybox.

> You CANNOT flash this file anytime since its not CWM flashable yet.

> Its manual procedure to add scripts/hosts individual extracted file into your downloaded ROM zip file at paths specified. Please be careful with this else it wont work.

> If your ROM already have similar named script, keep only that one or delete that and add from these.

Miscellaneous file:

HOSTS file

Removes more than 95% of ADs from browser as well ad-supported applications.

Better than Ad-free application.

Works on all ROMs

Place "HOSTS" file in system/etc/ folder.

Share your experience with scripts.

Please discuss what scripts/tweaks really helps Vibrant.

USE THEM ON YOUR OWN RISK.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Loopy Smoothness Tweak:

Entering your PIN with minimal/no delay/lag

Minimising delay with lock screen pattern/unlock (not the time it takes to wakeup, but the touchscreen response lag)

Having smoother notifications on the status bar, and smoother pulldown menu response

Minimising Launcher lag while Media Scanner is running (can scroll through screens without heavy pauses)

Minimising lag when scrolling through the market while icons are still loading

Installing/Uninstalling apps while continuing other tasks

Minimising/eliminating intermittent lag spikes in gaming

No delay in being able to answer phone calls

Are these available for all os versions?
[Vibrant Android Development] chev:
Will this work on 2.3.5? MIUI? CM7?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yes, just need ROM with init.d access and busybox.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yes, I am using LoopyTweaks, Zipalign, RAM script, microSD, defrag database scripts on my MIUI.

Working well.

EXT4 tweaks not tested on MIUI.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
I already got my ROM flashed. Can I just flash the zip thats attached to the OP instead of putting it in the ROM to flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
NO, this is not CWM flashable yet.

Please read OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] Wayne561:
Oh, I didn't see that. But can I push through root explorer?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yes, you can.

Just set permission same as that of other existing files in that folder and reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] 啊喔鹅咦呜鱼:
i push the all scripts into init.d,delete the old.

reboot to recovery,clear cache and dalvik,fix permission.

then boot to the system,

open the titanium backup it said i didn't have the buybox.

root explorer didn't work.:(

seem to be i can only flash back
[Vibrant Android Development] edshawn911:
How do you know if the scripts are working? I deleted my old intd file with es file explorer and put the files from here in the folder.
[Vibrant Android Development] strtkempo:
hit the link to jewes tweaks he has videos there. do some multi tasking open up a bunch of apps then open your task manager and see how mch ram your using you should be using far less ram than normal. I have so many apps that run in the background this compilation really helped out with the ram usage and the lags.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
DO NOT DELETE ALL THE FILE IN YOUR YOUR INIT.D

For e.g. sysct

If you want to test scripts, there is a app in market "GScript." Get it.

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I installed but later removed both the kernel tweak and the sd card tweak. I was getting minor freezes and a fc after hanging up on a call using my bluetooth headset. I already had an sd card tweak, I think, and just removed the kernel tweak on a hunch. Benchmark scores are not that great but everything is back to smooth as butter. Download speeds seem to be down a little, but upload speeds went way up. On simply honey 5.1 with jewe's script (removed that to as I already had it) flashed and the build prop tweaks applied. Just added in the extra tweaks from this thread removing the ones I mentioned.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
You are using app 'A' , you press home key, you are back on home screen, app 'A' stays in RAM as is then you open another app or do something else and again open the same app, there it loads quickly (blazing fast as everybody claims) no micro lag even, with same status, where you pressed home key. If I check the CPU uses for good apps it's always 0 %, means app is in suspended state, if app is in background and consumes CPU, task manager suspends it(my observation).

This is how iOS does it, no back key. You keep on opening apps and when needed, multitasking makes room, there you notice a micro lag ALSO in iOS.

Now on Android, you get same behavior as above if you don't use back key, you can really compare smoothness with iOS and only micro lag when RAM should be freed.

Try it with 'whatsapp' for example, you will see it.

Of course back key is needed but not for all the apps and that's where it differs with iOS and creates confusion of lags. Well many people don't care micro or mini lag but the point is why not to have a mechanism on apps, that either app should go in suspended state when back key pressed (same as home key) or app must quit(resource hog apps or games).

It doesn't require user attention to press home key or back key but checks if in what status app should be put in.

I hope I am correct and not missing something major here. Now I am getting used to pressing home key on some apps with my own conscious and think about lag questions everywhere.

Your opinion please. I just want to clear my concept about it.

and yes about battery life, please keep that aside for a moment.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bork84:
I will give it a try for a few days.... will see.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
Thanks dude,try it. may be there is an chance of improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Heritz:
With the current state of apps, it shouldn't be necessary to exit apps at all. The home button should suffice. I really don't know how memory efficient Android was back in 1.5-2.0, but currently it works pretty well.

I believe the back button should only be used to navigate within apps, but not to exit apps. It is "in theory" not necessary if the app is properly developed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
A lot of apps stay in ram even if you exit them with the back button.

Interesting post. I have a habit of killing all apps lol, for fear that some will drain my battery life (some definitely do, ie. words with friends!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
Download the App "System Panel" from the Android Market.

It's free and it lets you know how much ram and CPU your apps are currently eating up... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoofox:
Only thing I have noticed is that not all aplications stay in memory after I press Home.

For example when I open dialer (phone.apk) and then press Home button, next time I start it it starts extremely fast.

But if I leave the phone for a while (not starting anything, about 100mb of free ram) and then start the dialer again it starts slower again (it does not stay in cached proccesses).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Heritz:
That's because some RAM used by the Dialer process is being claimed by the OS to do something else. Even if the phone is sleeping, it could be claimed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoofox:
Yeah I know but I am not sure why is the system killing processes even when there is at least 80mb of free memory (and I mean free, everything that's left after you deduct services and other cached processes).

Unless when the phone is sleeping the OS takes up absolutely all free memory to do something...however that sounds like a lot of memory to be taken whatever the system is doing especially while the phone is not awake...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
There is also a rule from Android intelligence,remove the process which has not been used for long time,so that OS can do prevent on demand swapping.

These are features for solid RAM management and multitasking but comes at cost of app start/reload smootness.

iOS multitasking in concept looks junky by app suspend machnism but at user expr. it serves good.

I would say, RAM is filled up anyways but keep core apps always there and backkey used only for navigation.

I keep on reading app developers remarks on site like stackoverflow,just to see where from os point of view SGS can't overcome mini lag at core apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
I also tried to reproduce the scenario where phone or dialer lagged (or removed from cached process) after pressing home key while in dialer and kept phone idle for long time.

Yes it happens, but I tell you when, I had ~100 MB free, started dialer, pressed home key, left phone idle for more than an hour or so, then I checked phone was removed from cached process and starting it was bit slow (although backkey not used) but at the same time I checked my RAM was filled up upto ~278 so only had 50 MB available.

It seems like Android fills the RAM (I think not sure: with frequent used apps, depends user to user what he uses more) upto 90% and 10% always left empty.When I try to fill it I never crossed 285 mark, it came back to same ~278 level automatically(yes I was using smaller apps to fill it).

All,

If you get time, please share your expr. I am trying to learn something here and may be I am getting things wrong.

I am believing that back key power is not utilized in favor of user experience and there is a room for improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
Have you had a chance to check out that "System Panel" App I recommended?... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bundi22:
for me home button = minimise & multitask, back button = close
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bmkhizar:
I know it has been a while but any updates on the issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] farfalk:
I wonder, would it be possible to force close all processes not necessary to run fundamental services (call, sms receiving) when using resource hog apps like heavy games?

Something like: "if app requires more than 80% of CPU for 5 seconds non-stop and occupies more than [put value here] of RAM, THEN close all unnecessary processes (even system ones) and keep them closed till app shut down"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. MaRV:
Hi guys!

I got a problem with my Desire HD, i flashed RCMaxHD Kingdom V2.0 Rom. Later ich flashed back again to the "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_2 6 .03.02.26_M" stock ROM an let the Phone update via OTA to Android 2.3.3. This ROM ist still on my Phone, it's not rooted or radio s-off anymore. It should be so as it was shipped. Now I get permanently from "Locations" a notification in the statusbar that there is an map update required. The newest map ist already installed, but the notification comes ever an ever again. Has anyone a solution for my problem? Factory reset, formatting the SD-Card and reinstall "Locations" was so far unsucessfully.

Kind regards

MaRV
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
Locations has, in the past, done the same thing to me. I seem to have Spain, Portugal & Andorra selected, and in the past it has been notifying very frequently. To get rid of the notification, I updated the maps...

Recently though, I haven't seen that. I haven't concentrated on the timing, but up until mid-August I was using a stock 2.1 ROM, after which I installed the Android Revolution ROM.

I may be wrong, but since I haven't seen the notification recently, it may be linked to the change to a custom ROM.

hey guys, what exactly is teh difference between the stock and the cm7 hboot? is teh cm7 one faster, gives better battery life or any other special improvements?

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
A hboot changes the internal partitions:

Stock: 250 MB /system, 40 MB /cache, 147 MB /data

CM7: 145 MB /system, 5 MB /cache, /287 MB /data.

http://alpharev.nl

---> CM7 Hboot gives you a lot more space for apps and works with most roms. It does neither improve speed nor battery life nor any thing.

Next time use the search.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
thanks mate, i searched a bit around, but havent really found a definitive anwser to the performance/battery difference (the reason why i asked this is that on the galaxy s or on the atrix, the bootloader in fact changes battery behavior).

Can replace my 8gb sdcard with 32gb sdcard? Should i do anything extra to make sure it remains rooted?

Can force close be caused only by software issues or even hardware?? I ask this coz a month back i had dropped my phone and it did not start for couple of hours.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Your OS is installed in the internal storage of your device, not your SD Card. Formatiing your SD Card does nothing to your ROM at all. Force Closing is most probably a permission issue. Try Fix Permission in ROM Manager.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do you mean you are keeping the ROM files, and/or nandroid backups on your SD card? After you flash a ROM, you can get rid of the zip file. Or copy it to your desktop computer, if you think you might want it again in the future.

Similar thing with nandroid backups. I usually just keep the most recent one on my SD, and move the rest to my PC.

Some apps save data to the SD card. If you want to upgrade to a larger SD, just copy the files you need (or think you might need) to your desktop computer from the SD, then copy them to the new SD card, and swap the cards out. Upgrading the SD card is that simple.

Not the zip files but the original rom which installed.. i asked this bcoz when rooting i had to create gold card change the value and so on.. so i wasn't sure if that would be affected if i formatted the sdcard or deleted all the folders ..

Yes, it is similar solution as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19607654#post19607654 , only in Azbuka. You can use simple feature USB A/F-A/F to working with GoldCard without bastling, with cables, which everybody have at home - see picture here http://htc7pro.howto.cz/ , external power (2,5 harddisc cable) is better to prevent flashing crash. MicroSD Nokia is not necessary, may be used any card, but you must code goldcard image (see XDA WP7 GoldCard threads), if your region is not equal to nbh file.
