Quoting Gavin from RootzWiki, on the governor and I/O scheduler issue:

"I don't think there is a best. Based on what I have learned at university, there are always conditions under which certain algorithms perform inefficiently. I would suggest that you first determine how you normally use your device. Then, I would research the algorithms behind the governors and schedulers available on your device and see if they are optimized for how you use your device. I think that if you provide this community with some background information about how you use your device, we may be able to recommend some suitable governors and schedulers for you to try. Best of luck!"

I couldn't agree more with him. The perfect setup for me might be bad for other users. It depends on what kind of applications you use. On the I/O scheduler issue I can say that noop should be one of the fastest and simplest. However the sio scheduler is optimized for flash-memory devices. So if you use Link2SD or DATA2SD together with a fast card, sio might be what you're looking for (performance-wise).

There will always be a drawback: the setup with best performance will end up draining your battery faster. Finding the right combination for your usage pattern can be trick. Don't rely on benchmarks to choose your setup. Benchmarks have it's theoretical value but in practise you might find that the applications you use work better with the setup that scores worse on Quadrant or Antutu.

This is still not the site I was searching for but just take a look here and see some light information:

Hi vctrdnl, I had call issues with the smartass governor. I wasn't using the v2 of smartass (called smartass2). ;)

Like I said on a post that I wrote a few minutes ago, we won't find a setup that suits us all. I have no lags with ondemand, noop @245-768MHz. Don't forget that I am using DATA2SD and a really fast card. I've published screenshots of the speed on a thread dedicated to SD Card speed (here on XDA) and from what I saw, mine showed the fastest reading score (at least until the day I posted). This certainly helps the phone respond better. I'm also using a swap partition that might be helpful (or not).

I won't change rom for now but I do appreciate m1ndh4x8r's work.

Have more important things to do than setup the freakin phone again and install (now my count is) 46 apps. I would also have to remove some mods that I don't like (for example 4x5 app drawer) and in the last days I spent too much time holding my phone in my hands. :p

You are probably doing something wrong or not waiting enough time between steps. Time is crucial with DATA2SD installations and also the memory card you use.

GB Keyboard is not working for me..
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
I had the same thing. I'm not sure of whether the cause was just a random bad flash, or it had something to do with the linux swap partition, but what apparently solved it for me was reflashing the ROM with a linux swap partition of 64M (whereas I had no linux swap before). Please reply and tell me if this fixes anything for you, so I would know if the cause was indeed the swap partition, or if it was just a bad flash.

Long-press a field that you type things into (say, Google's search box), select "input method" and choose Gingerbread Keyboard. That will activate it :P
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Thanks for the tip on the Gingerbread Keyboard. Until now I had never used it because I didn't know how to activate it.

I do love the HTC keyboard but of course that I like to try out some other things. :)

[HTC Wildfire S] Azerox:
Installed this this morning, working good so far.

Also data2sd working great, partitioning went great .. so overall very nice.

Only thing i noticed is that it has some wakeup lag, but not so bad and not always.
[HTC Wildfire S] vctrdnl:
Make some adjustments of the CPU settings in No-frills. Try the ondemand or smartass2 governor in different combinations with the I/O Schedulers. For best performance you have to set the frequency scaling range from 200 to 768 MHz. The rest of the settings depend on you - find the best kernel configuration for YOUR device, in terms of both performance/stability and battery life. Our mutual experience has proven that each phone (or maybe each user) has his/its own preferred settings. Good luck! ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Mazer.one:
Try to set CPU min at 122 mhz or 200 mhz
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
122 or even 200 MHz are too low for the phone being able to deal with all the background processes. If you have many apps installed and use Link2SD or Data2SD I recommend 245 MHz minimum, in order not to corrupt data and have unnecessary lags.
[HTC Wildfire S] Azerox:
Btw why no-frills?

I alway used SetCPU, is this also usable for OC?

I dont know.

Btw now after like 10 reboots the wakeup lag seems to be gone.

Not had it yet :)

3:70.6mb linux swap

With link2sd it works just fine.

Vctrdnl is right. Some Class 4 can be really crap. I talk from my own experience. I had force closes on the phone process with a Kingston 8GB Class 4... Couldn't even use the phone with DATA2SD. Link2SD worked fine.

Now I have a Samsung "Essentials" 16GB Class 6 card and DATA2SD flies like there is no tomorrow. ;)

SanDisk Class-4 8GB

I am using SanDisk Class-4 8GB last 2 months with both m1ndh4x8r ROMs(Sense2.1 and Sense 3.5), lagging problems occurs when i restart my phone, after few minutes phone working normal and after that i can play NOVA(game) working very smooth for me.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I would prefer using Link2SD (like I did for some time) on those conditions. After booting phone it must respond properly and not have to wait a few minutes.

Anyway I said that some (not all) Class 4 cards are crap. I also had a Sandisk 4GB Class 4 and it failed too.
[HTC Wildfire S] sw1kwz:
also hangs at HTC bootscreen with 1gb ext3 512 swap partition. also tried with 1gb ext4 and 512 swap in a 4GB samsung SD card
[HTC Wildfire S] vctrdnl:
I would say you don't really need a Swap partition. Previously I had a 512MB Swap and the phone didn't use more than 3% of it no matter what or how many apps I used. What's more, the phone's RAM memory was never full. I used darktremor's A2SD app (from Market) for a while to monitor the effective usage of the Swap partition, it isn't "effective" at all.
[HTC Wildfire S] Leofis:
Firstly I want to thank you m1ndh4x8r for all your devotion in our phone. My phone now has huge space for apps. I use data2sd with ur suggested partition. I use this rom for a week almost.

All are perfect except one thing. I want to ask if I am the only one that have problem with bluetooth. The bluetooth connects normally but when I receive or make a call I cannot hear the other person through bluetooth, the other person can hear my voice tho.

And btw is it possible to have the old lock slide down thing for calls too. ( ofcourse I want to find the bluetooth solution first / I can leave without lock.

Thanks in advance.

I have a question i want to flash this ROM because im still with the stock one

My quistion is because now im using liknk2SD and i like link2sd so im with 2nd partition 2ext

And im askind to there is a problem if i just flash this ROM and use link2sd with 2ext

because u know that once you create the second partition size etc you cannot change it so i guess there is not problem to use the ROM with the partition i have already right?

And wana ask about this 3rd-Linux Swap - mine is 512MB ?

Why do u need a Linux Swap? if someone can explain me will be cool and can i use the ROM without it

thanks in advance
[HTC Wildfire S] Ron173:
i like data2sd thnx

I tried link2sd on my previous rom n still had memory low occasionally, this looks good if doesnt slow over time
[HTC Wildfire S] hellnoob:
Yes you can keep your ext2 partition as it is and use link2sd with this rom. Also data2SD can also be used with ext2 partition ( I personally do). Otherwise you can reformat your ext2 partition to ext4 partition using 'minitool' and then use data2SD. Its just a matter of choice what you want and what suits best for your device and sd card.

Now about Linux Swap - If you heard of cache memory then its something similar. If not then think of it as additional RAM. whenever you are low on physical RAM, your device will start using Linux swap partition for that extra bit of memory that it needs.

For knowledge purpose: -> If you have Android terminal , it comes preinstalled with m1ndh4x8r rom .. Open it and type

su

The prompt changes from '$' to '#'

Then type

free

When you do this you can see how much RAM and Swap memory are used.
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
I have question

i have 2 wildfire S one white and one black

SO what is supe strange is

they are both the same but.

I Unlock both via HTC Devs and they are both Rooted

So on the white one i flash without problem m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5|OCKernel|Stable|Apps2SD|DATA2SD|Premium Features[1/25/2012]

Very fast and easy without any problem and the ROM work perfect

So i want to flash it to the other black one and I cannot do it.

Im doing absolutly the same clearing all caches wipe and etc

after the installation from the recovery is writen all is fine and done

And when i rebot the device well just freeze or stay on the welcome screen with the animation sometimes give me just black screen so i try 3 times to re flash again and again and always the same

so then i try with another rom and i flash the same way this one EQDKP Sense 3.5 - GB2.3.5 idogx base - OC Kernel [m1ndh4x8r mod] 2-22-2012

Absolutly the same behaviour sometimes i see the boot animation and that is sometimes only the white HTC and the phone restart by itself and nothing can load

i try 2 times with this Sense 3.5 ROM nothing

Then what im doing is i have already a Nand Backup of the stock ROM

So i do nan backup and now im with the stock again But im wondering whats going on

and how on the one device im able to flash without problem on the other one no matter what im doing I can`t....?!

The both devices are the same also they are with the same programs installed the same way of rooted and the same way ot unlocked bootloader.

I really can`t understand it i hope someone to have similar problem and decision

thanks in advance

[HTC Wildfire S] vctrdnl:
A new update for this ROM...I might stick with it for a little longer than I expected. :)

Sense 3.5 ROMs are still a bit buggy judging by all user comments.

Few questions though:

Do we need to perform a full wipe coming from the old m1ndh4x8r ROM's version?

Do we need to flash all add-ons and, most importantly DATA2SD, again (after flashing the ROM)?

Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] onimorza:
Not all seemingly same phones are the same. Maybe that phone can't handle the 806Mhz OC as mine didn't either. Try the 600Mhz script from the first post. That worked for me.

[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi m1ndh4x8r!

Thanks a lot for still working on the Sense 2.1 version.

I prefer to have stability instead of a new Sense that still needs some serious polishing.

It would be great if we could flash this as an update, like other people already mentioned.

Of course that I can make a Nandroid Backup and try it out... but I would prefer to know from the ROM maker if such thing would be possible:

A real ROM upgrade procedure, so that we don't need to set everything up from scratch and install almost 50 apps.

I use DATA2SD just in case it matters.

Thanks again for your restless work! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
If a ROM upgrade. Just Clear cache, and clear Dalvik cache and flash ROM. don't know if it'l work :D but I read in some forums thats how to upgrade. But if your in data2sd you need to install data2sd reinstaller, I'll make a flashable zip later.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Great news! :)

I tried to upgrade previous ROM from 25th January with the latest update m1ndh4x8r released on the 23rd February and it WORKS! :D

I made a Nandroid backup just in case something went wrong, wiped cache and dalvik-cache, flashed the ROM, booted for the first time (got memory full message after entering PIN), rebooted in recovery to reflash Data2SD, rebooted normally, waited about one minute before entering PIN and everything seems to be working.

Please note: didn't need initial setup but had to setup my settings (display, sound, keyboard, personalization).

Some widgets disappeared from home screen but just added them again.

All apps seem to be working. Don't forget I use Data2SD.

I don't know if this works with Link2SD users so don't come asking about something I don't use and can't test.

I was really afraid this wouldn't work but now I don't regret trying. ;)

Since m1ndh4x8r didn't reply any upgrade questions I decided to go ahead.

EDIT: m1ndh4x8r replied while I was typing this message. :)

Good luck to anyone that tries this procedure. I can't be sure it will work with everyone but luckily it worked out for me. :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Thanks for your reply, even if I don't need it anymore. ;)

I just needed to reflash the Data2SD installer you provided in the first place, and it worked like a charm.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
data2sd reinstaller link up in first page.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
m1ndh4x8r, could you please explain what is the difference between the Data2SD installer and the reinstaller?

I used the original installer after flashing ROM update and it worked fine...

Should I flash the reinstaller or leave it as it is now?

Just a small note:

You mention on the first post (OP) that this ROM has the "Fast GPS fix by d33ps1x".

From what I've been able to see it doesn't. The gps.conf file from this new ROM is exactly the same that you used on the 25th January ROM version.

I've manually replaced the file with the d33ps1x gps.conf on my phone, but I guess that I should warn you of this slight mistake. Maybe you had the intention to do it but forgot to update the file. ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] s4u2003:
G'day m1ndh4x8r and everybody

First of all, thanks for the Rom.

Just wondering if you could help me out a little bit or a hint from anybody has the same issue as me.

I created the 8G SD card with minitool partition home into 3 partitions, Fat32 (6G), ET4(1G) and Linux swap (512M), then flashed the ROM successful. I am able to start configuring the phone, all good until I am trying to update / install any apps, then the phone crashed and auto rebooted. I repeated from the beginning and same result. I donot know it is a bug or something wrong with SD card? Because from the Application -> Storage, I did not see anything growth in the internal storage.

Also one weird thing might worth to mention that is after partitioning with the tool, everything looks ok until i eject the card and replug it in, they windows could not recognize the card. from the minitool could not see the ET4 and linux swap anymore. have to reformat fat32 to allow the card to be recognized again. Anybody has the same problem? Thanks in advance.
