Tips & Tricks Thanks krazyjflip

More shall be added!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaisyPlucksta:
This is great! :D Is it possible to add what those of us without FB17 kernel and FB15 modem should do? So, starting from any rom/kernel/modem... (For example, I'm on Calk's 2.8.1 on EL29 modem and kernel)

This might be too much to ask, but it sure would be nice to have everything in one place (you've got most of everything already which is very impressive!). Thank you! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
thats where part two begins! I will specify clearer!

Part One is assuming you are already there and part two is where you go if not already on fb17/15 mixture and are the steps to get there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
First, make sure to make a backup then follow steps below (Method has worked for me but YMMV). You will need the following files which most is in the op:

- CM7 rom

- CM9 rom

- Gapps

- Flashable FB15 Modem

- Flashable Rogue Kernel

1) Go into recovery and wipe data

2) Flash FB15 modem (Might take longer than usual)

3) reboot system

4) Boot back into recovery and wipe data

5) flash CM7

6) Reboot system

7) Once phone boots to home screen, reboot back to recovery. You should be in stock cwm (Blue letter)

8) Wipe data (Factory reset)

9) Flash CM9, Gapps, and kernel one after the other.

10) Reboot system and enjoy

Noob question but how do i mount the phone to get this vold.fstab file on internal storage? I never had a problem before and yes I have Kies installed. All I get for storage is MTP and camera and I have debugging enabled. Sorry for such a noob question....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woodsdog:
1st off, Great post, great information all in one place.

Having said that sbrissen says there is a release today om CM9. I'm really hoping that release makes this post useless and all the extra steps (beyond step 2) are not needed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
nice job putting all this together!

only 1 thought; in part 1, item 5c, saying you can use advanced restore to restore your data; I never tried that with this rom, and, since most folks will be coming from a non AOSP rom, won't restoring data from a TW rom cause problems with an AOSP rom?

Like I said, I never used advanced restore data, unless I am upgrading or moving from one EL29 rom to another, so I can't say for sure if this would work..

Hopefully, BETA 1 drops soon, and Scott has his new phone by now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
me too but i never ask for eta unless i am mixing in my own magic!

hence yellow text, ik but agree! I will gladly ask for this thread i spent a while creating to be closed if it proves unnecessary in a heartbeat but until then, I will try my best to roll with the punches and provide all that i can with each release if needed.

I despise confusion when android provides me with Google! lol2daBank
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Thanks!

+ i have used this method when transferring from my epic to my epic touch without problems and I also applied the same method as a rule of thumb on my Vibrant as to most updates in those days were all complete wipes and on random builds but worked. still got my texts, call logs and other things everytime. It is a shot in the dark for most but thats one of my tricks that has yet to fail. I've used restores from 09 that i had restored on my friends tablet to show off android capabilities before so i am pretty confident.

but for proof of concept is:

has mms download been fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
Good question, it's not on my phone but have you tried go SMS

Touched by an Epic 4G w/Cm9 & Fueled by the NY Giants 2012

Edit: I can say that mms isnt working in my own theory is because 3g isnt working for me. not in 4g area but i use wifi

wait: phone alert and i sent my mms with go sms but no download on the return. Go sms has some mms settings that can be tweeked to though. I am really hungry and havent ate so i will return with more mms info after a fridge raid!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Is there a trick to mounting this rom on my phone to my computer so that I can put the vold.fstab file on my internal storage? I never had this problem. Like I said I have usb debugging enabled and Kies installed on my computer. Am i missing something? i searched to no avail. I also uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and rebooted phone and computer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
dang'bro' you did too much!

well adb push has been said to work but i downloaded it via the phone from the link and it went to download folder

Edit: Update: MMS issues arent app related so don't think thats a fix, its somewhere else. where idk still looking! :]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Cool, I started over this time I put the file on internal storage after the flash cm7 part. Thanks for the quick reply. Now lets see how it goes....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
How come CM9 doesnt have the option to remove Voicemail notifications like CM7 did? (that was one of the cheap easy methods to remove fake voicemail notification icon bug)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Probably hasn't been pushed upstream yet. There are still many features that hasn't been ported to CM9 yet. I'm sure the CM team will get many features implemented soon

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
That my friend I have no other clue except that from my experience with cm, it just hasn't got that far yet in development. I wasn't here for Cm7 to know the difference but I am giving up on mms issues because I've been looking to no avail and I believe it's a build issue and without my refund I have no new computer to start a new build with. I will now visit the screen density issue for a workaround that prevents breaking the phone. The More I look for fixes the more i feel they are all build related. I feel a update coming soon. If I had access to the git I would be trying different things that I can't try now from a win PC. Hope I'm right.

[Nexus S General] astatek:
I want to install cryptonite and its need fuse.

What is the best way to activate this ?

Thanks

Sorry for my bad english
[Nexus S General] clesenne:
Cryptonite only requires FUSE and root for mounting volumes. Other functions are available without FUSE.

Installing a CyanogenMod ROM would be the easiest way for you to get FUSE support. Although I don't own a Nexus S, I'm pretty sure that FUSE is enabled on that phone's CyanogenMod version.
[Nexus S General] clesenne:
Turns out that the Nexus S actually does not support FUSE. I've contacted the kernel maintainer about this and he's planning on including FUSE support in one of the upcoming releases. See this issue and the FAQ for details.

Attention: This guide is for an older version of the V6 SuperCharger.

This doesn't mean that you can not use this guide as a reference or interesting read, but the new script has some more options which aren't covered here. You have to read the instructions within V6 carefully.

I did a lot of testing some weeks ago and now that I finally have some time I'd like to share what I got so far.

The V6 Supercharger is a tweak skript by zeppelinrox which works really great on my 2x. It feels smoother and snappier than ever - and multitasking is damn fast (and I never felt that CM7.2 was unsnappy.. but there is a difference now).

I won't talk a lot about what it is and how it does work - read the original thread. It has an even better effect on low spec phones, but it does improve the snappyness on high-end phones, too (and is even used on Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Nexus phones!)

[Script][MOD][U9RC6.1] Sticky 'n Smooth ISCream-=V6 SUPERCHARGER!=-The ONLY RAM Fixer

All credits go to zeppelinrox for this great script!

Here's a quote for what it does:

There's a "quick walkthrough" in the second post - together with the best options (at least for me) for the older update 8.

Again: All credit to zeppelinrox - he has a donation link in his thread! If you like it, donate to him please :)

[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
there is already a update 9, which works perfect on the speed, but I don't see great improvements between Chuck Norris Edition with and without V6. Think Chuck Norris is already so awesome.

P.S: really easy to set up, just download Script Manager from the Market, open it, click on SU and open up this Script, everything else will be explained through the MENU
[LG Optimus 2x] IntenseColor:
Has anyone tested this with the latest vadonka's ETaNa yet?
[LG Optimus 2x] Wadka:
I know it's not ready yet, but I'm already psyched about it :-D

I already have a question about it.

If I run this skript is it suggested to change minfree values?

I have mine set on 16-24-32-90-100-110 right now. Thats pretty heavy I think, but Setiron suggested those values.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Hey, can you tell us how long you've been using this?

And can you tell us where you actually saw the improvement?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yup but update 9 is still a RC. I know it's pretty stable but haven't tested it yet, will do that over the weekend and update the instructions if everything works fine.

You're correct - the Chuck Norris ROM does use a lot of tweaks, too - this is mainly focused to non-tweaked CM7 and Stock ROMs :)
[LG Optimus 2x] carburano:
Great... I include always it in my rom...

Inviato con il mio P990 DjangoManouche!
[LG Optimus 2x] julianosplendido:
Wow, thanks very much, my device feels superfast right now!

Do i have to repeat this procedure everytime i flash an cm update, e.g. a kang?
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
this script only advantage the bulletproof/hard to kill launcher for as, but since the o2x is a highend phone the launcher reload fast, probably dont even noticed that and if you have a memory hungry launcher probably not a bad thing if this is not stuck in the memory, so its not really necessary this. bulletproof the launcher is good thing in an old phone like moto milestone (this script originally made for that phone by the way)

the memory management is not so good, the autokiller memory optimizer app do a much better memory management and its user friendly.

also this script minfree values is not optimized for the o2x.

I'd rather not use overall, but its your choice guys
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I cannot agree in all points.

First of all V6 won't lock the launcher in memory (unlike the CM method!).

Then it will tweak more aspects in terms of memory management than just the "harder to kill launcher" - more on that in the official post. Last but not least - the phone is a highend one, but it lacks some memory (1GB would have been great). And it seems that it does help quite a lot, here.

But of course you're correct that it might not be the "best of all" solutions for the 2x - but I can feel quite a difference while using V6. For Stock LG and CM7 it seems to be a good enhancement - I don't mind if people here use it or not, I'm really happy with this solution right now. Just thought might be worse sharing as there are many threads for V6 for other phones (even the SGS II!!), but not for the 2x.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S.: I havent tested your newest kernel with the tweak scripts - maybe it will even blow me away more if the values are more optimized for the 2x :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
just look into this supercharger script and see what is really doing :)
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
I'll wait for ICS version of the script :p
[LG Optimus 2x] zeppelinrox:
ICS is done. See post #2 of my OP.

Will the REAL vadonka please stand up?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14327296&highlight=supercharger#post14327296

lulz...

btw I'm sure you are totally unfamiliar with the newest incarnations where the values are calculated according the ram available on any device.

SO IT"S ALWAYS OPTIMIZED FOR THE DEVICE IT'S RUNNING ON.

If anything, bulletproof is BETTER suited for devices with more ram - since they can more easily do this without detrimental effects since they do have more ram.

Nothing you say adds up.
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
look, your script working superb on my old milestone, when i write this post what you quoted here i had the milestone not the o2x. but with o2x honestly i dont think its necessary to tweak so many memory management part. the phone have enough memory to handle most of everything and have a fast dual core processor.

i use only this:

echo 0,1,2,4,6,15 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj

echo 1536,2048,4096,15360,17920,20480 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

i dont see the point of the other stuffs :)

lock the launcher in the memory is also not necessary, its reloaded fast i dont even noticed that every time.

but its just my opinion :)

ps: you are using this file in many procedures: rcpath="/system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc"

this isn't exsist in the o2x rom.

for example:

sed -i '/ro.EMPTY_APP_ADJ/ a\

setprop ro.FOREGROUND_APP_MEM '$SL1 $rcpath

this is only work if the rcpath=/system/etc/build.prop and cut out the 'setprop' string (/data/local.prop also not good for as). i also found some code what is not working with the o2x rom. the whole script is for the droid/milestone's. at least what i found in this thread OP
[LG Optimus 2x] zeppelinrox:
Try the newest one :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22689090&posted=1#post22689090

init.mapphone_umts.rc isn't even mentioned.

Instead, it does a search for the appropriate file.

It's vastly more sophisticated than Update 8 in all aspects.

The 0,1,2,4,6,15 is kinda useless... no different really than the default 0,1,2,4,7,15

There is a fairly new supercharger thread for the new Galaxy Note... they see a clear difference.

So you really won't ever know until you try ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
okay, this version it seems better: V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC6.1.sh
[LG Optimus 2x] zeppelinrox:
Yeah there isn't much difference between that and the one I linked to above if you're on CM7.

The incremental update was an ICS detection fix.

I may have all 4 scripts updated today tho
[LG Optimus 2x] Wadka:
Hey zeppelinrox, do you recommend to change minfree values when using the v6 script?

I'm running CM9 with Ironkernel and mine are set to 16-24-32-90-100-110, but I think thats a little extreme. Setiron suggested those values, because ICS needs more ram.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GReddySetGO:
I just installed ICS a couple days ago and have noticed a dramatic decrease in battery life. I was able to get a full day without charging on Gingerbread, ~15+hrs or so. Now on ICS I am maybe only getting half a day. After 5-6hrs, the phone is about ready to die with any use. I was hoping it would get better after a few days but it doesn't look like it.

I have attached a screenshot of my usage this morning. I talked on the phone for about 5-10mins, and played some games for maybe 10 mins or so, sent a few e-mails, and did some light browsing. All pretty normal use for me. Before I would still be at 80+% still, down into the 50's right now.

Whats gpsd and why is it using so much?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
The gpsd is a GPS like service on your phone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, Did you calibrate your battery? That might help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Turn off gps until you really need to use it. It's a bug that keeps gps actively searching for a signal and that will drain your battery quick, as well as make your phone super hot.

When i had fb17 on my phone it showed gsdp running even with GPS off
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GReddySetGO:
Thanks guys, my phone has been super hot! I turned GPS off, we'll see what happens....

How do I calibrate my battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
There's no need to calibrate your battery, I did notice yesterday that GPS was on even after I turned it off, but that was after using Google Tracker for a jog. I simply restarted my phone and it was fixed, lets not forget that this is still in early development. Although I will say that now on my third day with this rom, the battery is getting better by the day! Good luck and Happy Flashing.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yep keep your GPS off and your battery will improve dramatically. When it works, it's a major battery drainer. We'll need to wait for a build further down the road for a fix.

The answer to your question essentially is, you don't. This phone has an auto-calibrating fuel gauge that makes previous methods of battery calibration (wiping battery stats or using the battery calibration app) useless.

For the one "possible" way to calibrate the battery on this phone, see this ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273

But I don't think this is you issue. Turn off GPS for now and you'll be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
+1 on this I agree
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] urrlyx:
Agreed. Turning off GPS helped out with battery life dramatically on my phone. (FB17)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
All of these ics roms are alpha or beta there is no finished product so battery life will not be optimized ....some may get better but if you need battery life better to go back to a stable ROM .... GB

These are LEAKED builds...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
how long have you had the ROM flashed? it may take couple of days to have it settled into the new system/software. give it couple of days with the same cycle of usuage/charging times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RigorousNinja:
I had the same problem but after a quick reboot it stopped, and even with the gps off the 3G/4G will still show location just no navigation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
Hell no BS i get 4 MAXXXXX hours with the fb17
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
On CM9 3.1 with Steady's FB15 Kernel and the FB15 modem I get about 1/3 to 1/2 of my previous battery life. The estimated mAh draw is also in that neighborhood.

From what I can tell it's mostly low level stuff that is causing the drain, stuff in the kernel and Trebuchet launcher. Exactly what I expect from early, un-optimized code. With time I fully expect that I will my old battery life if not better as developers get the time to work the bugs out.

I can't discount that some of my apps are partially incompatible with ICS and causing wonkiness as well. It also doesn't help that I enjoy ICS so much that I can't stop playing with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
On caulkins rom. Everything was fine, then in the last few days, Gps takes 30 seconds or more to lock. Sometimes not lock at all.

Typical for a Samsung phone, you can download GPS status from the market and reset your GPS, sometimes that helps.

Now after Clearing it, do you lead GPS Status to Download the AGPS Data after? or After Clearing the GPS Cache, do you close GPS Status, then use Google Map?

I'd like to know :)
