Thanks for all the info. It is nice to have it all together like this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Glad you liked it :)

Thanks for reading!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
Damn! This was good!

It just reminded me of why I signed up to XDA in the first place!

Been dragging around the murky swamps of too many dubious ROMs lately and was getting fed up. But this brightens my entire XDA experience. Double Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Thank you for reading :)

Let me know if you have any questions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ruscook:
Thanks Pikachu, great to see how much knowledge there is out there. I only understand about every third word, but appreciate what you and other devs make available for everyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Let me know if you need clarfication. I'll explain it to my best of my abilities :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tcchuin:
proud to see a malaysian=x

btw,can i use the script on my desire s?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Sorry for the late reply :)

I'm not sure if it'll work in Desire S. You can try it (with a nandroid backup handy of course).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qureyoon:
This is a very thorough guide!

Thank you for taking time to write this.

Very useful for beginners like me who want to start learning some optimization scripts etc.

Noob question

Hi pikachu01,

First of all, I'm sorry if I have a silly questions, but how do I know the base voltage of the kernel?

And also how do I clear some OC/UV settings?

Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
You can clear the OC/UV settings by using VC's "Remove Boot Setting".

Voltage Control should have a value shown beside it for the base value. i.e. 900mV.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ndnesh:
Wow! Wonderful read! Most of it went over my head! but it is a wonderfully, well thought and detailed post! very well put together! Thank you!

i will keep coming back to this to keep learning more!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qureyoon:
UVing

Hi pikachu01,

I've tried following your method of UVing.

In Voltage Control for the 100Mhz, I see a value of 925 besides it.

When I tried to do a -200, it won't let me do. The lowest I can get is 850. Does this mean that the kernel have applied some limitation for this 100Mhz to 850?

By setting the limit to 100Mhz @ 850, I've run some movie for 10 mins, and all is well.

Confirmed the phone is running at 100Mhz by looking at CPU Spy.

And then I tried to edit to VC script and change from 850 to 775 just to test (since I can't do it in VC), and do a reboot.

All is fine except until reading SD Card, the screen just hangs, the buttons are on lits all the time. My Ext-SD is 32GB though :/

So is it because of 775 not supported for 100Mhz? Or is it actually still reading the SD Card?

Thanks in advance.

p.s: restoring my nand backup now :P

p.p.s: done restoring, I noticed that the battery drops about 20% after restoring? I don't recall such a huge drop in battery when restoring :/ Is this normal?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] disconnecktie:
Sounds like you need to calibrate your battery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Yeah, the kernel sometimes limits the UV can you do. Try using Rock Player/MX Video Player to play a video. If reading an SDCard hangs, it means its unstable.

You need to recalibrate your battery as the poster below you mentioned.

Hi pikachu01,

Thanks for taking the time to write this post, very informative. Will have a play later :)

UPDATE 1/10/12

* Edited some sections with some new knowledge that I have. A few places, can't name them all :P Check them out and see if you can spot them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] interloper:
Can you build BFS into the script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
What do you mean build BFS into the script? BFS is a scheduler that needs to be compiled into the kernel. If you mean tuning BFS in ThunderBolt!, that is already in it. :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AceofSpades90:
Loved your informative thread! Thank you!

Nothing about lulzactive governor and its supported in your tweaks? :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
I haven't updated the OP with the governors that ThunderBolt! is supporting yet. I'll do that later :)

And yes lulzactive is tuned in ThunderBolt! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flapane:
May I suggest for your guide to do some Quadrant benchmarks with ALL the I/O schedulers?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
As I've metioned, benchmarks can't represent real life situations where you're in a multitask environment. Would you want your games to run real fast but you get a missed call because your scheduler can't handle it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flapane:
That's why I thought to Quadrant rather than Linpack, anyway I got the point.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Quadrant is like the king of misleading benchmarks. I could tweak the phone to have high quadrant scores but it'll be slow as molasses.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freeza:
Had to reply to this (since you're not accepting PMs!).

Pikachu1, this tips guide is fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

OndemandX

Hope you're still keeping up with this thread?

Was just wondering about OndemandX...kind of defeats the whole purpose of going to sleep if it doesn't wake up for a call doesn't it? Does it actually

take so long to wake up as to miss the call? Just a question....

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

BTW, THANKS A MILLION!!!! There is some really good stuff you did here!!! Hope I can find time to try them all. Good learning experience.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Can't find the time to keep up with this thread, but I'll support any questions that comes along.

It doesn't take so long that it misses a call, but it's annoying sometimes when your phone rings but the interface takes a second to get up.

Appreciate your time and answer...I know it must be hard to keep up, I spend an inordinate amount of time just reading!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milado:
Hello

With the new ICS has just been released, when do you expect Samsung to release a version for SGS2?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshmiester78900:
it might take sometime
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milado:
Why? what does it take?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vogie:
Soon, :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoobzone:
Looking up wiki quickly, I found the following:

Gingerbread released December 6 2010

CyanogenMod 7.0 released April 10 2011

Hopefully things will be faster this time around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freemini:
CyanogenMod doesn't have to be the first ICS ROM. I'm sure nighties came way before April.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
My hope is that samsung releases a ICS official firmware in couple weeks..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
ahahhaahahahahahahaahahah :D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
First lets hope they do it "at all".

And my bet after that would be "when it's done".

On a more serious guess: Not this year anymore, maybe early 2012.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
oh god, this is all this forum is going to be for the next 2 months isnt it.

:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshmiester78900:
kind of dude .!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
At least it'll take people's mind off invisible tints and irrelevant home button movement.

I personally wouldn't be surprised to see it within 2 months, but that may be partially wishful thinking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
Andy Ruben has just said in the post announcement interview that ICS updates should be a couple of weeks after the Gnexus release. However I personally wouldn't hold your breath as Samsung won't want to effect sales of their flagship phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
What, by selling a different one of their products? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ageless Stranger:
Don't forget the great cupcake saga not so long ago, forums filled with people ranting and raving, shouting "I want my cupcake now!"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
What I mean is:

Google and Samsung will want everyone to buy the Galaxy Nexus the new flagship phone with a higher price as this will be in direct competition withe the iPhone 4GS. However why will people buy this when they can buy the still excellent, but cheaper Samsung Galaxy S2 if it has the latest update.

Personally I won't buy the GNexus as I'm very happy with the SGS2 and I can't afford the upgrade. So all I can hope is that someone will port the ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swnt:
People will get upset if they buy phones that dont stay up to date.

But yeh, wait for them to profit off the Gnex for a bit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
This is something that pisses me of about android, I just recently got 2.3.4 on my unbranded SGS2, At this rate I expect Ice Cream sandwich by next summer and by that time something bigger and better will be along.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaurus:
There will always be something bigger and better. For what it's worth, you can always upgrade your unbranded phone manually to something newer than 2.3.4.

I don't know how many that buys for example an SGS2 are "hardcore" users and just "plain" users (i.e only does the official updates via Kies etc).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altimas:
This isn't something specific about Android, this is a generalization about all technology and perhaps most all retail items. You must be from another planet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stennett:
After looking at Samsung's update history I'm expecting ICS to take forever and a day!

This way, even it it comes a day earlier than expected , the wait will still seem like forever :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzertand:
First the bad news, Samsung have a terrible reputation when it comes to updating their phones.they will do it but not before everything is thoroughly tested, note that I didn't say that everything is actually working or even without bugs!

Then the good news, they are learning from their mistakes, they update faster these days and are first in line with google, which explains the nexus phones by Samsung. however a honest guess by me, on experience with Samsung updates so far on my current and previous galaxy phones, would be

Jan./feb. 2012. Partly realistic, partly hopeful, partly ignorance, partly wishful thinking....lol.

Question on my part, I might be simple but why is it so hard to put a vanilla version of ,any Android version for that matter, on a different phone than a nexus phone. I mean in terms of hardware they all seem pretty the same to me. Just compare the nee nexus to the sgs2. Sure there are some differences to be found but I never understood why having an Samsung equenox processor is any different than an Texas instruments for example. I mean they both are the same type processors (arm?) In the end.... Or am I now just being an noob... Guess so but would love an good explanation to get understanding. Greets.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volapyk:
Google will give the Galaxy Nexus a head start before releasing the sources. As they did with the Nexus S. Once the GN is out the sources are likely to follow a few weeks later. This is where the real work can begin. For devs here and manufacturers.

Anything before that will be based on the SDK only. As I recall such custom roms showed up in less than a week with Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost.bhoot2k:
why u all r fooling urself??just look at the samsung update history--terribly delayed.

moreover,sgs2 has to go a long way (2.3.7 first) before getting android 4.even in many countries 2.3.4 & 2.3.5 is not out....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeq544:
Im not waiting for sammy ICS anyway... It will be touchwized everywhere and I am pretty sure it will look very close to how it looks right now...

CM9 on the other hand... Will be here sooner and it will be better :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
They don't need to go via all the gingerbread point releases to jump to ics.

Though when they do, goodness knows.

This is why the new nexus is tempting me, not really a spec jump, more like a sidestep, but timely updates sounds good to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cactus42:
I love that people think Cyanogen is the be all and end all. AdamG had Gingerbread Oxygen out less than a month after official release.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Since GB Android weeks= months.

While they have an 18 month support minimum they DONT have a mandatory update window of any relevance. First step is for ICS do be dropped into AOSP. GB and HC took forever and never. I wouldnt expect it before January.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
ICS looks groovy but frankly I"m old and my sgs2 does everything I use a phone for just fine so it isn't a big deal to me. That said I'm also financially secure so I may give this one to one of the kids and pick up the GN. I'm a slut that way. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiro:
they announced that the motorola razr will get ics update in early 2012...

i hope we get ICS at the same time on our s2 devices.. though its ok with me, cause recently got my phone and i wont shout "mommy! im craving for an ice cream sandwich!!":p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bass_Amphetamine:
Is it true that ICS will be optimized for dual cores? As it stands now with GB, is having dual core pointless?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grakon:
what will ICS be able to do that gingerbread cant, will there be that much difference?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankscorek:
ICS uses handles and hence better and stable system
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tghockey07:
If we are rooted, will we be able to install ICS roms? The reason I ask is because I am kinda hazy about the whole locked bootloader thing. I am used to my Droid and Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I can put anything on because they are unlocked, but I do not know about the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Rooted and bootloader are pretty different friend.

You can root anything, for the most part. Bootloader, not so much. We wont be able to truly run it unless we get an OTA, or ICS FXZ. I'm basing this off kernel - could be wrong.

So root, yeah, we'll be able to run the majority of it when the code is released. Won't be the kernel built for it though...

I may be wrong, but I think that's pretty close.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
even if you don't get an official ICS update, there'll most likely be ICS ROMs popping up here & there as things progress.

on a side note, what flavour is ICS anyway? vanilla?... chocolate?...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Palingenesis:
Just watched the unveiling on YouTube. Who will be the first to port!? Lol. The SDK is available now. I like it. I hope a developer manages to port it when available. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
let's condense this into the other ICS thread?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MRguyandhis2:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I'll give him a sweet who ports first to DZ :D JOKE!

I wonder if desire z's ram will be enough for ice cream sandwich...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
SDK is pointless. When 4.0 source is released, that is when it will be built for VISION.

Yes. Easily.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EndOfSource:
i would also like to see this (:

Hope it runs smooth and fast (:
[G2 and Desire Z General] 313dash:
It will be running on our phones if the G1 can run gingerbread anything is possible. Our phones run Sense pretty good which is a ram hog itself.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jeffsmith01:
Might be an easily answered question, but how do i rename one of my CWM nandroid backups? I've tried just using root explorer and changing the name, but when i try to restore it i get a "md5 sums don't match" error and can't flash the backup. Any tips for me?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Uh... don't change the name, it throws off the md5 checksum and it won't flash. ;)

The md5 is an "error checking" mechanism of sorts, and if it doesn't match then it won't flash to avoid flashing a bad backup. If you need to, just copy/move the nandroid file to a folder with a more descriptive name to help you keep organized.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I rename mine all the time. Just make sure there are no spaces. Periods are ok though. And yes I've used the successfully to restore from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jeffsmith01:
Thanks, i will try renaming one like you said. And if it is to no avail i will just throw them in a named folder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: renaming nandroid backups

You cannot rename any MD5 file..

But if you download CWM Manager you will be able to backup and restore

your rom with any filename you like. This app can do most everything which

Rom Manager can do except cannot download roms or recoveries.

CWM Manager can:

It can install apk files on your sdcard

It can flash kernels

It can delete files

It can backup and restore roms

It can flash any cwm rom

When using this app for backing up it asks for filename to start with, so

naturally it opens the keyboard so you can type in a name for your backup rom.

Its a free app on the market.

Here is a link for it: http://www.wuala.com/jgmoreno75/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S%20i9000/APPS/CWM%20Manager%20v1.5.apk?lang=en

It's fully self-exlanitory and easy to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SNadler:
This is so!

This app works as designed.

Here is a flashable file for it also....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
I use Astro File manager to rename them. Like mentioned above, dont put in any blank spaces into the name or it cant be used, until you go back and fix the name with no spaces.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
<CWM Manager flashable zip attached>

@SNadler:

Was this extracted from CF-Root, or was it released as a standalone app? If stand alone, where was it posted please? Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
CWM Manager

There is no version 2 stand alone CWM Manager.

The newest version of cwm manager is 1.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] robstunner:
You can rename the backups in ROM manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
+1 I do it all the time so I can differentiate between my nandroids of stock rom, stock rom debloated, CM7 nightlies (or whenever we get an update from Atinm) and I can easily switch between any of them after wilding data/factory reset without having any md5 sum issues.

Are you guys talking about the ROM Manager by Clockworkmod? Or something different...because if you are then the version I am running from the market is 4.7.0.5? Allot higher then what you both mentioned. Can you clarify. :confused:

Do you plan to reenable overscroll bounce again?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
good luck ;]]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
Blame crapple its because of the gallery change
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
but probably ony for Dutch market - i do not know if that regional court rulling is affecting EU / World

i think next firmware leak might have normal bounce effect or the blue_overscroll only in gallery

might be that this particular branch was compiled to shor Dutch court that they can follow the verdict asap

hopefully - because i hate the effect
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VexMunja:
I don't care about overscroll glow,that's not important at all. I think that most important things about roms that they are stable and bug free... stock jvt on my phone so far so good....i do not bother with that irrelevant stuff like color of the overscroll glow :s

sent from TT
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
btw if you do not like the glow you can do as follows:

1) pull the framework-res.apk you use from phone

1) in framework-res.apk find

overscroll_edge.png

overscroll_glow.png

(/res/drawable-hdpi/)

2) copy both files to your pc & edit to be 100% transparent with proper editing tool

3) save & copy back to framework-res.apk into the same location overwriting original files

4) push back the framework-res.apk into phone

profit: no colored overscroll glow

downside: still no bounce ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceGooner:
I've got used to the blue glow overscroll effect now. In fact I prefer it - at least it's different. I don't want my SGS to behave like an Apple product! I can't stand the iphone I have to use at work and the camp, restricting, cartoony feel of everything about it. IOS is just an app drawer with a few transitions. It's so basic - no wonder it's smooth. They can keep their stupid bounce.

More to the point - I can't believe Apple went through all this legal trouble just to protect a bouncy overscroll effect. How petty can they be? Samsung have started removing it from their products now, but it's still there if you use ADW, GO, Launcher Pro or SPB shell. I use Quick Pic instead of Gallery and that still bounces. Are Apple going to take legal action against every app in the Market that has the bounce? Next they'll be telling sports companies to make footballs that don't bounce.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
samsung

has not started to remove

the 'boounce effect' from firmwares

yestarday officialy released via kies 3 firmwares for hungary - ALL HAVE BOUNCE EFFECT (2.3.3 + 2x 2.3.4) - buildates after court verdict

(read more here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18613181&postcount=2)

it will be probably remowed only in dutch firmwares as it seems the only patent violation verdict is not affectin european market ...
