Just added supercharger to mine, easy and worked first time, if it helps this is how I did it...

Installed busybox installer and updated to busybox v1.19.3

Copied the script to the root of the sd card and renamed to v6.sh

Started terminal emulator and typed - su - cd sdcard - sh v6.sh

Just followed onscreen instructions, went for option 6 as that's what most people seem to go for

After reboot, ran the script again and I'm now HARD TO KILL

My phone is stock UK 2.3.4 with only Keiran's tweaks and Notification toggles added.

Noobocity

thanx for reply

i cant however get it to work

probably due to being clueless about linux commands

I would appreciate it if you could type the code to input into terminal exactly as you should

cheers
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
Bless :)

Type "su"

Hit return

Type "cd sdcard"

Hit return

Type "sh v6.sh"

Hit return

Script will fire up and away you go. This does depend on the script being renamed to "v6.sh" ... less to type :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] mulllen666:
You're the man

I love you
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Hello and thanks for creating this!

This might be a dumb question but will these tweaks get removed if I do a factory data reset?
[Xperia Play Android Development] stormtroopercs:
I think they will. just get the app and redo it after data reset
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Nvm
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
These tweaks are system tweaks. Wiping the data partition won't delete them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] noy2x:
compatible busybox

will the tweaks work with the busybox version included in doom's v08 kernel? or do i need to download the version from jrummy's busybox installer?
[Xperia Play Android Development] matgoodwin:
Wow, seemed to make a massive difference on my phone. Before the tweak it was 2167.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
What'd you do to your phone to get it that high? Mine is only 2269 or so after tweaking and such.
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
Dude! What ROM/Kernel are you using????

I'm getting "There is a problem parsing the package" error on my R800X
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Download again
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
just did this..

but how to check after reboot?

Thanks man!

by the way, what benchmarking app are you guys using? I am using Antutu Benchmark and this is what I got.. is this normal or above normal?
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
After the reboot, run the script again and it'll tell you, middle of screen in image below...

NB screengrab is from the tutorial, not my XPlay.
[Xperia Play Android Development] vanleab:
i cannot get JIT enable for my PLAY

"Root and the latest superuser app and binary installed"

what does binary here refer to? please help :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] jacklebott:
JIT is already enabled...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
How can you tell if they are working or not? specifically JIT. it certainly feels alot more responsive and snappy but maybe its just my imagination because i think its on lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] crash_b.:
These are my results, results went down...

I already had some build.prop tweaks before installing this tweak.apk and i'm on the same kernel, so the difference between us is in the mega ram tweak?

Left = Before, Right = After

Edit: i applied the mega ram tweak but the values are not getting higher, any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] vanleab:
but in quandrant benchmark, i got only 1400 sth... :(

and when i click on tweak JIT, nth happen....:confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
For the record not sure if anyone needs to know but:

Make sure you run quadrant 4-5 times in a row. Your score is always low on the first run, it will increase as you keep running it and about 4-5 times it will start to average out and show a better score, just run each benchtest back to back and put the governor on performance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
Try reading the whole thread, it's not like it's long :)

Doomlord said that JIT is enabled as standard on these phones so the app doesn't do anything else.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ksizzle9:
Just to confirm, JIT is enabled by default on on phones running android 2.2 and up. Most of the build.prop edits only falsify your quadrant score so I wouldn't worry to much about quadrant. The lead developer behind CM came out on one of the android tech sites with a score well over 4000 on his nexus 1. Not trying to flame or cause problems for anyone at all, just wanted to let u guys know not to get caught up In quadrant or u will never enjoy your phone and always worry about it being being faster.

OP, very nice app.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK, after reading, and re-reading, and re-re-reading the instructions for V6 Supercharger, I FINALLY picked up on the fact that V6_Supercharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt takes the settings you choose and generates a NEW script called 99SuperCharger.sh, which it stores in \data. You then run Script Manager again, this time loading the 99SuperCharger.sh and you configure Script Manager to run it as Root on Boot and click SAVE. That's how you keep your memory settings from changing back.

I guess I must be pretty thick-headed. I've been trying to figure that out for 2 days. Amazing what reading and FOLLOWING the directions can do for you! :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
Sorry to say this mate but you need to reread again :)

You should be using update 9 RC4 which does all the necessary for you and hence why you don't need to bother with Script Manager and all that extra stuff.

Just run the script once and you're all done, only reason to do anything else is to convince yourself it's working. zeppelinrox has done a cracking job of making this virtually idiot proof so just follow the latest instructions and enjoy.

Have to admit it can be confusing as there is so much history linked to all these tweaks, takes ages before you realise rooting is now a simple one or two click affair and much the same with supercharging. Ideally there would be stickies that just contain the latest "how to"s.

Keiran, sorry your post seems to have been hijacked by this but the great work you've done shows how simple it can be for the noobiest amongst us to add some almost essential mods. I know I probably wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for you and yours.
[Xperia Play Android Development] vanleab:
please help. i accidentally uninstalled the busybox installer. now all root apps are not working. is there any fix without re-flashing rom? thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Thanks for the info, I'll try to find that.

EDIT: Actually update 9 RC4 might not be right for me. When I run it, it says that I have a stock ROM (true) and that system integration cannot be done.

EDIT#2: Well, I have no idea why it says that because it appears to be working just fine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
Said it for me too but, as you said, it works fine. Glad you got there in the end.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
doese the first page changed !

that was usefull information on there , am i right ?!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes, it was changed, functions will be displayed in the app from the next update :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nabeel_Nabs:
The thread title seems to change every time I come back to this thread - or is it just me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yeah it does, it will stay the same in future but bits might be added for updates.

Edit:

Trying to implement a function to install CWM now, seems to be working!!!

ZOMG! Update soon!
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
thank you keiran :)

your tweaks is really useful , waiting for next update
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Next update will be more clean and will feature "ROM List" which will allow you to download ROM's like in ROM manager. Only problem I have is that I am currently using the DownloadManager android API and any URL with numbers will not download.

If anyone has a website, and they want to host ROM's, PM me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
will the supercharger script and keiran's app mess up with each other or will it be fine ?

which should i install first? i have them both on (keiran's tweak was 1st) and im just convincing myself its working

im not using the scriptmanager to run supercharger, only by terminal emulator.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
They will not conflict, it also doesn't matter which one you install first.
[Xperia Play Android Development] psxpetey:
where can i get the gpu ui and touchscreen tweaks
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
They are in the application

## UPDATE RELEASED ##
[Xperia Play Android Development] LightingZ:
Does the CM7 form the rom list will work on Locked BL?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Nope, it doesn't, requires a different kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] m2maddy:
Hi Keiran,

Does this new apk have any further advantage than the ROM management from the 1st one.

I still cannot get the Quadrant to go above 1500 on my XPLay, have enabled all tweaks from the apk.

[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Sometimes the tweaks do not apply properly on the first version, but the new version makes sure they apply.
[Xperia Play Android Development] m2maddy:
Installed and clicked "Get Superuser Permissions" and now it is in "Attempting to Apply/Remove modification" screen for a long time, how long does it take?

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Hit the back button, applied all the hacks and reboot, ran Quadrant 3 times, now it is 1610 or 1700, Cool :)

Didn't apply the JIT hack as it is already enabled for 2011 Xperia Phones.

Maddy
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
The get superuser permissions thing is meant to be a fix for when it sometimes does not ask for superuser permissions.

If the app fails to get superuser permissions, force close it and open it again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] dannejanne:
Dumb question perhaps, but does settings stick after reboot?

And the GPU acceleration, should it work with 3'rd party launchers too?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes and yes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] dannejanne:
Awesome. I do notice a difference in GO Launcher with GPU enabled. It is noticeably smoother in some animations and doesn't micro-lag near as often as it did before so far. Sometimes (quite often) before enabling it the animations were left out totally when pressing the home button from phone app for example. Not so anymore.

So this script seems to work indeed. Superb.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Thanks for the feedback :)

The script is actually a build.prop tweak, that defines a setting that forces GPU rendering :)

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
dum question but on the rom list and i choose to install the samsung theme via clicking that will it work as i am only rooted with a locked boot loader as i am carrier locked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes but the GS2 theme on there is broken download, I need to fix.
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
Alrighty, installed xperiatweak2

works and feels great! Thanks! Im now convinced about the GUI rendering. Its feels different, snappier.

updated my signature! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ricosuavez35:
not sure if it works

ok i launched the xperiatweak2 and applied the gui and bravia engine and rebooted ... i dont see the bravia option in display is that normal

my xperia play is bootlocked and rooted on 2.3.4 uk (4.0.2.A.0.42)

i should of clocked myself before to see if the gpu hack worked ,guess i will undo and redo the hack to see if performance is better

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
hi friends

first , thank you kiran for your nice and usefull tweaks

is it important to enable GUI ==> restart and after that enable touchscreen ==> restart , or you can enable gui then touchscreen then ==> restart (( fot take effect )) ?

and how it can make effect on battery and cpu? is there any option for battery saving ? cause i just can see gui,touchscreen and bravia option ?!

any help is really appreciated

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
You can enable them both and the restart. They just modify the build.prop file, so a restart is needed for the changes to take effect
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
o okay cool so i dont need clock work recovery installed or anything ? i am stock rom i am just rooted with notification toggles and your tweaks and couple root apps.

So once it is fixed i can just click any rom and it work even though my bootloader is locked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You need ClockworkMod recovery, don't worry you can get it on a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
Sorry to ask as it's probably obvious but why do we need ClockworkMod recovery?

I'm not intending to start flashing ROMs and the like, happy with the simple tweaks like yours.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You need recovery for installing custom ROM's.

For the ROM's, click them, they will download into your /Downloads/ folder. Reboot into your recovery manually and select install from SD Card then navigate to the ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
You can achieve the same end result as these without CWM. As long as you have root, you can modify the build.prop and restart. Job done
[Xperia Play Android Development] University of Pi:
For anyone with a locked bootloader (like me) who needs CWM go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390771

also question; do any of the ROMs work with CDMA and (espicially if not) could you by chance be kind and make a version with a list of CDMA ROMs

if not, that's fine we always have http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201725
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
Aside from flashing custom Roms

1. Some developer tweaks and add-ons need to be flashed thru CWM (like thomassafca's notification toggles)

2. CWM can backup your rom and restore it easily.

3. if youre using an ext partition, mounting/formatting/partitioning is also manageable at CWM

and it will not bother your boot unless you access it, so why the hate for CWM? :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
Because thats what morons do. Cwm opened up alot for us this last year on the play, we should be thankful we had it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
No hate given or implied and if you look at any of my posts you'll see how grateful I am for all the work that's been done by the devs so I guess that makes you the moron.

Kieran said we need it with an implication it was vital and I simply asked what it would do for me apart from being able to use other roms as for me that isn't important at this time.

I've got notification toggles installed and that was just a bit of copy and pasting, no recovery needed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I may do it for CDMA.

But I need 2.3.3 system dump first :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
I see, anyway I'm too lazy for manually doing stuff like in terminal or scripts, will have more room for errors on my case.. downloading the zip file, flashing it thru CWM is easier. Or using an app, like Keiran's, or fastboot stuff for kernels like DooM's. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
DarkforestROM RC2 has been released and is now available on my forum and via Xperia Tweak :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] noojster:
how will it affect the ff:

1. saved data(apps, user accounts, etc)

2. ext data (linked apps)

tnx,
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It will not at all, just removes the stuff in the first post I listed.

Data should be fine, and apps, it doesn't touch the data partition.

Sent from my R800i - Darkforest ROM and Kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
That's interesting, I get more worried I'll tool it up flashing it :)

Obviously apps like Keiran's are the most stress free as you have no conception of the horrors going on in the background :thumbs:
[Xperia Play Android Development] AwaisKhan:
When is the new version being released? With the option to install recovery on locked bootloaders?

Hi Keiran

can you help me on something about your GUI tweak?

1st of all, I like the tweak, but I noticed something weird when its on.. its only for Dungeon Hunter 2. Its laggy and jumpy. But when I turn it off and reboot, its runs fine.. I'm testing it on the same save point I was.

Weird eh?

Thanks!

~nooj
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
That is probably a RAM issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
Keiran, is it worth putting in a facility where users can check the status of each tweak?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Will see what I can do :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
Is this done with a locked bootloader?My games are still stuttering somehow.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Droid69:
Can this app be used for the xperia x10.

IF anyone could tell me why I'm having problem parsing package it would be appreciated

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
Never mind you're r800x , but have u moved dalvik cache?

Maybe you should state what device , firmware ,rooted or not , bootloader locked or not, .. Either way if you're 2.3.4 and moved ur dalvik cache to sd card that might be the problem as 2.3.4 only allocates 100mb for that. Still we need. To know ur info first to pinpoint why its doing that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Well - he said on his rooted R800x. So, its an Xperia Play R800x with a locked bootloader, rooted and running at best 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
Yea I went to his. Profile to check regardless , so unless he moved dalvik cache I see no reasons at all why anything wouldn't parse
[Xperia Play Android Development] d31b0y:
Very nice. You need a way to stop downloads though. Or at least a confirmation before the download begins. I clicked in to one of the roms there as I thought it would just give more information but it started downloading :/

It even continued after a reboot...
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Haven't yet discovered how to add the cancel function, so you have to go into the "downloads" app, select the download and press cancel :)

Next update ETA: 1 week.

- More ROMS to be added :)

- AudioBoost feature to be added to tweak list :)

Keiran
[Xperia Play Android Development] chiefy009:
Just installed this on the ray, not sure if it has worked ? no adverse effects though
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Keiran, firstly thanks for this app :D

Could you perhaps implement a way for the user to know whether the options e.g gpu acceleration are turned on? Right now the only way to make sure is a reboot. Is my request feasible?

Also, your Dropbox account is dead. Too much traffic. Please fix, I need the disable zips.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
feature is feasabile, but I will have to see how to do it, adding this may take some time :)

I could either have check boxes (would be difficult to put in for me) or I could have a bit where it tells you whether it is activated or not :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] 3dawg:
Thanks for the reply. Could you fix the dropbox links please? I really need those disable zips.
[Xperia Play Android Development] elspanish88:
This may have been answered in a round about way but after reading the full thread im still a little confused so i just want to make sure i can use this with a locked bootloader??

and is it a case of just installing the .apk like normal... i know you said about CWM but im not interested in flashing roms, is that the only reason you need it for flashing roms??
[Xperia Play Android Development] b1g1an:
It'll work perfectly on your phone for what it was originally intended to do, namely improve graphic performance for a smoother launcher etc. The ROM part was a later edition and is entirely optional.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
Feature request, could you make two section's in the rom section one which is for unlocked bootloaders and lists all roms and a section for locked bootloaders with only roms that work with both.
[Xperia Play Android Development] SierraSonic:
I really like this applications, I was just wondering if it would be possible to add xloud(2.3.3) so those of use who don't get it (r800x) could use it. :D

Otherwise this already added most everything else I wanted. Bravia engine, xloud + bass booster would be awesome. :D

Thanks again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] clewis:
Is the next update ever coming ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] homeworlder:
This doesnt work for me, any ideas? R800i, CM 7.2 52 RC-0 with cm7 kernel, and rooted obv. With unlocked bootloader. I am grateful to any help i can get :D

I used mah awesome Xperia Play R800i w/ CM7 to write this
[Xperia Play Android Development] ahmfaris27:
Would love having the bass booster.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
It is for stock :)

Anyway, regarding updates, I am concentrating on a separate application for rom downloading, but I need someone who has a website and can take good bandwidth, because I do not have anywhere to host ROMs, apart from on DFG, but then we only have set bandwidth for that.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:

[Xperia Play Android Development] danlivesey:
Yes I installed all of them and uninstalled it through the app
[Xperia Play Android Development] brochador:
after installing v6 and this, why do i have a 1.6Ghz result on a locked bootloader??

lier..:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] CZroe:
OK, firstly, you can't download directly to your phone from this thread. Either by QR code or by direct link, the download manager immediately says "Failed." I downloaded the APKs along with a file manager (curse Sony Ericsson for not even including a file manager) and the next thing I knew I was stuck downloading a CM7 ROM on a locked bootloader phone with no way to cancel the download short of forcing the application closed, which is akin to yanking a HDD while copying a file to it. It's not even useful on a locked bootloader. It shouldn't be that easy to poke around and do something like that with no way to back out. At least I have unlimited data. :)

Anyway, is there supposed to be an application icon? I just have the default one that you get when there is no icon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Go into download manager, click; on the rom, and click cancel, that is how you stop a rom download.
