The low memory killer tweak has been always in my ROM since Slim Shady. Check first page.

Since init.rc need to configure the Low Memory Killer during boot up, I already integrated the tweak inside init.rc.

There are many other tweak by zepplinrox's Supercharger too, some already integrated in my ROM too. For example, to make the Launcher hard to kill, I have made it into group 1. So, assuming the default oom_adj of 0,1,2,3,4,5,15, Launcher will be second last to kill. You can always change that to 0 if you want to make it "bulletproof".

The setting I used was based on Option 5 from V6 Supercharger, which I some how, got best performance.

But if you want to change any of the setting, you can always install zepplinrox supercharger. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
So actually your ROM is, maybe about half-supercharged. Good to know that. Keep the good work.

As for now, I'm learning by modifying the zip file so that the newly installed ROM will include the things I needed and not included things I don't need.

Trying to advancing to Kitchen. Just in progress of understanding it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
See what CWG is testing now....:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Just asking, is zram = comcache??

and is this compatible with Supercharger??

there is something in V6 about disabling comcache if you get lag??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
More RAM! More RAM! More RAM!!

I dont know that CWG is from Lowyat.net too!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jahlee:
that's is ridiculous..!its happen during freezing when running at full 1.8ghz..how its happen.?look at the gap.there's where the freeze happen..and suddenly...weird tho..anybody can explain that..

Ermmn..but I really comfortable with this oc kernel..my default speed is 1.4 only chnge to 1.8 when necessary..like extracting some ****,download,etc..

But I'm curious about this sudden battery stats during some freeze..the crash only happen like what,1 minute only...then reboot...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
LOL! i wont call it half-supercharged. I get the setting I want and integrated it into my ROM.

Hope to see some ROM released by you as well! More choice is good for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
yes, zram is the successor of comcache. i can't get a lot of benchmark with/without comcache / zram. some are probably too old with phone running below 1Ghz.

i have been using 100mb cache on my phone, so far seem OK. i don't think it'll give me more performance if i use mostly 1 app at a time. but switching between games seems more responsive.

Supercharger is right about disabling it may help IF you encounter lag.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
You mean, after phone crashed, your battery charge went up crazily? I can't explain that. :D May be fully charge it to 100% (or battery calibration) could help re-stat that...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jahlee:
Yeahh..thats wht I mean tho..need to recalibrate the batt..:mad:

Using zeppelinrox die-hard batt calibrator..it's awk..luv 'em.:p

But I'm still curious about that..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Dude, sometimes my battery status at 92% and near that value shows the fully charged message. Is that a calibration problem? If so, how can it be fixed? :O
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jahlee:
Dude,try this method or u just ran his script...this awk from zeppelinrox..

but this time,I have no crash...but this happen again...only just like 3 min reboot..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
@Cow

Can you modify the kernel a bit so that it will support custom boot animation? Somehow I found that to use custom boot animation, we need a kernel which has init.d file. If you have time to dig in some info regarding this matter, it would be a bonus to your new ROM later!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dswaggz:
Can u help the exhibit II GUYS

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
Cow, any update to your rom? Even though mine is stable now, i'm still looking forward for further improvement from you..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Got ROM updates...please refer to 1st page
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
Will test it today! Thanks for the prompt response..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
@Cow,

The Cow In Black ROM is using aggressive undervolting boot.img or the less aggressive one? Can I simply push the old less aggressive boot.img into CIB or do I need to wait for you to release a new one (less aggressive)?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] falqon:
Nice work Cow . . . :D

i've got one little question, whats the different between part 1 n part 2 of your rom?? :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robin0800:
You need both parts and then combine them into one zip file as the first post clearly explains.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
I already ran V6 script before having the battery issue. Do i need to un-supercharge? :confused:

Btw, the link that you gave me is for Motorola phones, so mine is also compatible, is it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
It is using the less aggressive OC. Should work with most phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] falqon:
allright, thx bro . . .:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ertank07:
"Antutu 4457" value, which processor settings did you do? Can not you tell, please?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
We i run into any problems if i swapped the internal and external memory back to normal cow. Just i have a ****ty sd card and its not fast??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ertank07:
thanks, Very good Rom,good job ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Should not be any problem if you want to change it back. But I think it's best to format both internal / external sd card before you do anything like that.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
Cow, i'm using your previous ROM with your experimental kernel. In order for me to use this new ROM, do i have to wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik-cache, format /system?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
If swapping without formatting both internal and external, what might happen? And if i want to format, format in Settings, right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
No need. :D All your app and setting should remained, except the theme, will be changed to All Black theme.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
If you don't encounter any Force Close, I guess there is nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
So i do not have to format both, do i? Ok then i'll just swap it! :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keal5528:
it needs to.be unzip the both part of files and flash with the recovery? or just flash with odin??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Flash with Recovery. Usually .tar file is flashed using Odin and .zip using Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keal5528:
i got the file right here is the .7z001 and 7z002... extact them?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Yeah extract .7z001 file then it'll auto combine with the .7z002 file to form a single .zip then you flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keal5528:
hmm.. looks like the extact does not work on my phone... will try later at home..thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
You have to use 7-zip to extract the files so you must do it on a PC. Not sure if you can extract it using the phone itself. Alright, welcome!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
Initial feedback : this is super smooth rom! Nice touch on the battery indicator, one less apps for me.. Thanks cow
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keal5528:
Just flashed into this rom, it is just all dark at the begining~ LOL

And it is looks like a Honeycomb feel at the setting options and all that

quite stable so far
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ertank07:
Rom the first use, was 7 hours, 19% remaining battery level ?

but this is normal as quickly as I used to end a little bit more?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
What did you have the cpu set for 1.4ghz or 1.8ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ertank07:
1.4ghz = %60 1.8 = %40

Hi Cow

i have just flashed your latest non oc rom and thanks for your great job, but i have a question, i have chosen the Chinese language, but it didn't work, all the settings and locked screen things are still English or half English and half Chinese, it looks not good, how can this be fixed???

and when i swiched the chinese language to deutsch, it worked perfectly

this rom is called COW IN BLACK, so i think it's all right when it's all in black:D

U are not suppose to wipe anything axcept dalvik cache.

If u hv done so, reflash a clean stock rom using odin. Continue flashing as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ganesh8586:
I wipe all....other modded rom working for me...only cow modded rom not working for me....

Do I need to flash stock DXLA2 first, then rooting + recovery before I install this rom? or I can flash it directly from rooted + recovery stock euro ROM (XXKJ6)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jananan:
congrats on your custom ROM.

since you are in the process of removing Samsung bloat from the ROM anyway, have you thought about removing TwLauncher and replacing it with other lightweight launchers so that we can squeeze more RAM out of it.

*hint* ZeamLauncher *hint* - with permission from the developer of course...

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

you have to root, flash RZRecovery first...

after you done that if you installed other Samsung ori ROM that does not have root (2.3.6 for e.g.), it should not matter since you are flashing from Recovery, the custom ROM itself is rooted already.

so dont have to worry about losing root or anything like that...

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

errr... if that happened *after* you flashed the custom ROM here then we might be able to help you....

if its unrelated to the custom ROM being discussed here then you might be in the wrong section...

It should work even if you are using KezraPlananes. I tested the link still fine. A tester uploaded the ROM to Hotfile as well. Thanks for trying it out.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Unfortunately, I think the only way is to Odin it back to I8150DXKJ5 first. Root it and start from there...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
No! Dont flash to DXLA2 ! You may lost ability to root if you have not done so.

This ROM is best if you use the stock I8150DXKJ5, then flash directly with this ROM. It will be updated to DXLA2 along the way.

You can always use Nandroid to restore your previous ROM. :)

Have you try set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 before downloading from Megaupload?

1. Zeam Launcher

2. Go SMS Pro

Pending approval from developers, I will upload it. Confirm lower memory usage right from the start!

why you use GO SMS Pro?? it is use less ram then stock messaging app?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jananan:
i've already deleted touchwiz from yesterday's install. deleted KiES and some other unused stuff too. :)

replaced TwLauncher with ZeamLauncher. that was my previous set-up as well and usually i get like 200MB-220MB free RAM on fresh boot :)

but Go SMS Pro is a weird choice for a lightweight ROM... i don't think there's anything wrong with the default messaging application :confused: :confused:

unless you are just planning to integrate it to the non-slim version of your ROM.

6. If you are upgrading from my previous ROM, no need to wipe anything, just install. All your settings and app will remained. Theme will changed though.

7. If you are installing from stock or from other custom ROM, best to wipe everything using CWM, including your USB and external sd card. Reinstall everything from fresh, don't restore anything fromTitanium Backup or anything.

i wipe all iam not upgrading from old rom....

If i replace 'boot.img' in my nandroid backup with 'CiB-non-oc-boot.img' and then flash the backup, will it work? Will the 720p playback be fixed as well? :confused: Because i have installed big amount of apps actually. :D

That will work i guess. Or just use "dd". Find in this thread. :D

to uninstall zeam in my rom:

This is the method for "dd" right? :)

Yes. Make sure your path and filename (ie:/sdcard/download/boot.img) is correct. And dont mistype "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", else the effect could be quite severe... :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Cow just on regarding the cpu governors you have stashed into the rom. When setting the up which is the best one to use like yourself i only use it for texting and the odd wifi here and their. MAybe a phone call and odd games of stick stunt or angry boards nothing to heavy.

I have the oc rom you have used with qzems rom Ginger ice 2.0. OC runs fine on the phone can set it to 1.8ghz no problem. But just wandering what to have it set for not to compromise performance and still save battery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
To play safe, i start from fresh. I wipe all the specific things in recovery and flash your new non-oc ROM. Then i restore apps using Titanium. All is well! Thanks anyway Cow. Good day! ;D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Personally, I'd keep it max at 1.4ghz. At that frequency, you will be using undervolting that help a little in battery saving. For CPU governor, I like OnDemandX. OnDemand is already one of the best CPU governor in term of battery saving, OnDemandX is even better since it has been enhanced with Early Suspend API. Been testing this setting, I have not experience lag.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Right cheers for that. Always had it set for 1.4ghz would not oc all the time to risky. Whats do you set the minimum freq for on set cpu on the ondemandx setting
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Actually, anything below 368mhz has VDD=900. So, setting it anything lower will not help battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Tyrany:
