The script i have was given to me over at droid forums before kickass was released. But kickass does some other things that never really set well with my phone. I have a script that just runs noop. But i edited the script just now so its running on deadline and my phone actually scores around 100 points better and i have an hd anime that one part of the show really beats up tegra 2 and deadline handles it better then all the others.

My scripts just sets i/o without messing with anything else and it was designed be zepp (i edited the script so i can get deadline running).

For my phone kickass did not play well with it. So i don't use it. My phone runs better and my music skipping is very minimal (need to see now since im going to be running deadline). I also do not use the speedy scripts as that tend to cause my phone issues as well. Plus never saw a benifit to them my phone just worked like crap. Just like cm7dx2 did not play well with my phone. (For the love of god and all that is holy i followed it step by step do not tell me i did not).
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
lol

I've never even run cm7dx2 :eek:

how do you feel about uploading your script you using for just changing the scheduler?

not asking for you to upload and answer questions, I just wanna check it out

(I have also seen before that there are certain unset values that should be Set for better performance when using deadline, pm me we can talk, I've taken this far enoughoff topic lol)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
That is interesting...and I would like to know your findings on that

Im also interested in where you found that animation

Nevermind I see that it was an app now
[Motorola Droid X2] KennyKusanagi:
I flashed moon shadow 2nd core script & check with a cpu check app, still show the 2nd core offline.
[Motorola Droid X2] kennyb6:
U gotta fix the permissions of it in root explorer thats what i had to do
[Motorola Droid X2] KennyKusanagi:
How do I do that & what do I change it too exactly?
[Motorola Droid X2] kennyb6:
Go into a file manager such as root explorer or whatever u use go under the etc folder then init.d folder youll see the zip and long pres it and change permissions to match the other ones thats what i did
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I just did that and both cores stayed maxed out at 1000Mhz. Had to remove the folder to get it to drop down again.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
instead of flashing that zip

extract the file from inside the init.d folder inside the zip

(I then renamed that file to 01CPU)

then copy the file and paste it into system/etc/init.d

then long press the file and choose change permissions

check all of the top 9 boxes

DON'T CHECK ANY of THE BOXES FOR SPECIAL PERMISSIONS AT ALL

then just reboot

this is how I always add add scripts from flashable zips, as I like to place them there manually so I'm positive it had been entered correctly
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
my init.d folder itself has those exact same permissions

I've had no issues with maxed out CPU this way
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Ash thanks. So this time I did it as Ash suggested pulled the init file to insert in folder and changed permission to all 9 boxes. After that the 2nd core app looked good. Rebooted to check and 2ndyou core goes offline. I have not figured out how to verify with another app. Think I am about to give ip on this one. The file is in my init folder with permissions set. If it is working really don't know.

Edit:Ok it is working. I see the second core always on and will drop to 216 without going offline. Rebooted and still good. Excuse all my noobness!
[Motorola Droid X2] KennyKusanagi:
Question:

Should I or Can I use Power boost 2.0 or V6 Supercharger with this script?

I'm on Eclipse 2.1 w/ Mash-Up & speedy v7 script enabled.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I personally don't use any of those scripts so I am not sure how they will act with the combination...

I am running eclipse as well and I have done motchers 3g mods and that's all besides the 99tweaks that comes with eclipse and I have been very happy...I will think about adding some of the ones you have mentioned to see hoe well they all interact together
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
if you use powerboost while on eclipse your CPU will Max out on one core constantly

it messes up something with the system_server

I think someone tested a way around this but I have to speak with them again andb try fir myself I haven't done it yet so can't confirm

but I can confirm powerboost WILL cause your battery to drain significantly

Also, using every script/mod/tweak available isn't really needed lol

mashup+speedy+v6supercharger all, have very similar tweaks in them and some of them will cancel each other out

I HIGHLY recommend just choosing one at,a time and see which give you the best performance by itself, personally I use v6supercharger and KAK, it does 90% of what all those scripts/tweaks do and does it really well and is easily installed/uninstalled.

just my opinion ;) :) :p
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Glad you got it working...sorry to hear that you had some difficulty getting it going...hope its working well now and that you're enjoying it
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
What do we have that can take advantage of the second core being active?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I guess im not understanding what exactly you're looking for. I personally have seen a vast improvement in overall responsiveness and smoother operation...if benchmarks are a big thing for you there is improvement there as well....and I have tried on numerous benchmarking tools...
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Kinda clear as to what I was looking for... I guess the assumption I made was that we don't have proper tools that can really push our device and really flesh out the second core. How many people have tried this so far? Are the findings consistent among those people?

In what domains are you seeing vast improvement and smoother operation?

Which bench marking tools did you use? Also what ROM are you on and have you or have you not made other significant miss to your device?

I love questions. Poking and prodding is my thing ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Ok that is clear...and I like questions too the more direct like those the easier to answer...

MoonShadow made the flushable zip and to be honest I can't give you a download count or a number of people that have used the code found in the OP to make their own script. Hiding from the posts and the people that I have spoken to yes the findings are consistent.

I have experienced a much more responsive ui. Better frame rates. Less load time for apps. No lag on screen rotation. I personally have not experienced music skipping either using N7 player as well as some short tests in Google Music.

Take your pick in the benchmarking tools that I tested this with. Antutu, Quadrant, Smartbench, CF...... quite a few.

I am running Eclipse 2.1

And I have not made significant mods(that is what I assume was meant)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Sorry I tried to edit that post and it added the edit as a quote I have never had that issue before I tried this beta of taptalk...makes it hard to read my apologies
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Many thanks for answering all those questions. When I get a free moment, maybe lunchtime, I'll flash the zip and try out Dead Space. I'd love to get that game working flawlessly. The audio skips alot and the frame rate slows frequently.

Kudos for the hard work.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Please let me know how it goes
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I like flushable zips like this, no need to wipe

sorry, I couldn't resist this early in the morning :p

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

have you tried v6supercharger?

every time I have seen someone mention lag in a game, I tell then to apply v6supercharger and it fixes it usually just need the oom groupings fix options and nitro lag nullifier

that plus this second core script might give you what you need :)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Damn autocorrect
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Beat me to it. I just read the thread and thought, "I made a flushable zip? What a waste! I mean, flushing a zip? Damn..." :D

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] Boardwalk30:
Well, i must say that this script is FANTASTIC. It makes a HUGE difference in the UI responsiveness. Right now i have V6 option 6/20, build.prop mashup, cleaned up the apps i didnt use, and now put this, and this made my device FLY!

Here's what i did:

1. Downloaded MoonShadow's zip (it says for CM7DX2, but works perfectly with eclipse)

2. Using Root Explorer, pulled the script out of the zip manually and moved it to /system/etc/init.d/

3. Changed the permissions (using Root Explorer) to cover all 9 boxes (3 x 3)

4. Rebooted

5. 2nd Core app shows that both are up and running! I could tell an instant difference in responsiveness.

Well, i hope this helps! No need for Script manager, just need Root Explorer.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Thanks Boardwalk...I am glad that it is working well for you
[Motorola Droid X2] Boardwalk30:
No prob! Great job on this script! It's amazing! I'd report back on my battery findings, but i use an extended battery and the phone can't accurately read how much is left, so I won't have an accurate gauge. But in terms of performance, i'd say this is definitely worth a little battery trade-off (if there even is one). Great job dude!
[Motorola Droid X2] Sippi4x4man:
Has anyone tried this script while also running Motomizer?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I was not that happy with that particular app personally
[Motorola Droid X2] tprouty:
sorry if this makes people want to :banghead:

I'm kinda lost here... I wanted to test this script out, it sounds great, so I went to market and downloaded 2ed core as suggested in the past posts, and its saying both my CPU's are online, this is before even running the script.

so I thought maybe something was running on my phone that was turning it on, i opened Android Assistant, and did a quick boost. opened 2ed core and still both cpu's are online.

What would make my phone run both cores w/o this script, and what is making everyone else's only run 1 core?

I'm on CM7 with V6
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
The 2md core will run under heavy load...the script makes the 2nd core be always on...
[Motorola Droid X2] tprouty:
Right, I understand that... I'm saying mine is always on (according to 2ed core), even without heavy load. and I never used this script yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
From others posts I believe that application returns false information at times, it is made specifically for a couple samsung phones...if you say go to quadrant and your system info how many processors are available to java...I use system panel lite because I believe it returns more consistent and accurate results

Short of the script I have not found any way nor anything that would take the 2nd core out of the state that it was in to an always on state
[Motorola Droid X2] tprouty:
ah - went in there and it says that I have 2 available.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
You SHOULD not be using v6 supercharger if you are using cm7! It is in many post.
[Motorola Droid X2] tprouty:
it works great for me! except when i do kernel tweaks, then it breaks everything. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
By the way, all I did was package and tweak the original script by trafalger888 and turned it into a flashable zip to install it into init.d. All the props go to him for digging this one up.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
On the 236 mx2 port with initd by speedyV7 the script doesn't work. The best I can do is change the online perms to read only & make sure it's at 1. Then a reboot resets it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Sooooo I followed the steps unzip, paste, set the right permissions,I use The2ND CORE APP checker after the reboot it'll read 2 cores, after I exit out and check it later reads only one core active, can anybody shed sum light please, I'm on eclipse 1.3, if that helps,I also use the root explorer method...
[Motorola Droid X2] Sippi4x4man:
I was just about to try this. Guess I'll hold off
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Never mind got it to work, but I'm not seeing the higher bench marks as claimed tho:-(
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Is this right, is both my cores running? I'm trying to post up a screen shot.won't let me.
[Motorola Droid X2] Boardwalk30:
Upload to Imgur then post the link

Eclipsed from my DX2
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Imgur?
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Someone earlier posted that the 2nd Core App isn't as accurate in showing the CPUs in use.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] Boardwalk30:
System Panel Lite also shows the core usage, very accurately. Try that, and if that one says only one is on, odds are the script isn't working.

Your right not working but I followed it to the t....I tired:-(
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
I've extracted the zip, renamed put in the right place checked all the right permissions rebooted but still no go..anybody have any idea
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Are you on a rom?(which one?)

Do you have any other scripts in init.d?

Your permissions look like this?

(That isn't the same file of course but that's what ur permissions should look like for the script inside init.d)

And what exactly did u rename too?

And how do u know it isn't working?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
What does terminal emulator show when you enter " cat proc /cpuinfo "(without quotes)
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Ok recap, got it working, but my quadrant scores and antutu are not very high which is weird because phone does run smooth with it,I implemented the Script, tried the unzip way wouldn't work.but yea that it's my story I can see it both cores running via 2nd core, and I also like using CPU gauge looks pretty awesome.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I am glad that you were able to get it to work
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
An easy way to test to see if this is working is going to the cm 7 rom by dragonzkiller and in termibal type su then hit enter then type htop then hit enter. At the top of screen it will show what core percentage is being used and by what corp

I'm on eclipse 1.3, running better with this...I've uSed CPU gauge,2nd core and system panel lite, they all show my second core active, plus my x2 is more responsive, and don't see any lag as of yet.I have an extended battery sooooo I get ok battery, I'm at 11hrs, at 46% with moderate use.I'm very grateful for this script.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
So do we run the .sh script AND flash the zip?
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Hey dragonzkiller says this script is a no no...
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Don't do this, for my sake. Please.

Hi! It's me, dragonzkiller. Don't run this script or anything dealing with the "activation" of the 2nd core. It turns on by default when needed. If you want to waste your battery using a core you don't need, then go ahead and do this. The Tegra 2 is designed to run on the first core when not under load so that it saves power. I know that FOR A FACT the stock GB ROM and my CM7 ROM turns on the 2nd core when it is needed. Like it was designed to.
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
See I told u..
[Motorola Droid X2] Superm@π:
Awesome! Sooooo, how do we now remove it?

Use root explorer

Go to /system/etc/init.d and delete the CPU script

Then reboot..

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
But for those that really don't care about battery life, is there anything else detrimental this script will do? I didn't even notice lower battery life when I used this on my x2, but I'm sure that's only because I demolish batteries anyways.

Just for us curious type out here lol,

Thanks motcher I've always used your 3g tweaks and your opinion holds a lot of water with me and always has
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I ran it also while I was on cm7 and did not notice any extra battery drain. To be honest I did not see any change in my quadrant scores but I still left it on. I am not trying to fight with everyone here that has helped me and that I might of helped at one time or another.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Sooooo, do I run the zip and the sh file? I'm itching to get this going since V6 isn't cooperating with me.

[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
I'm not here to start any arguments, but could someone please explain how this could possibly net improved performance? And also, there IS more battery drain if the second core isn't sleeping. Just wanted to get that out there. But yeah, I just don't understand; I mean, the second core activates by default anyways, why would keeping it on 24/7 be a good idea?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I and others have not seen any considerable differnce in battery performance

Also the second core comes on when the phone is bogged and lagged out I no longer have those issues...others have reported the same...

Post edited because of my ignorance
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Try it out yourself.

No seriously, try it yourself and take note of before and after stats. You seem like the kind of person that needs serious hard results and works to get them.

For me, Dead Space went from being near unplayable to smooth.

As far as battery goes, it does drain slightly faster. Mine has, but then again, my phone has been my computer for the past weekend so naturally the battery is going to drop a **** ton.

I really don't have much of a problem managing my battery. If I'm in class or the lab for more than 45 minutes, I turn on airplane mode or just turn my phone off. I'm willing to work harder for my phones life if it will work for me.

If you do decide to delve into it and look at what's going on after the core is activated so that we can manage things better, please tell. I'm starting to like you Vendetta :)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
An apology is in order because I had confused your post with another earlier in the week and I am sorry if that came off as rude and arrogant. I should not have reacted that way I can understand your questions and concerns.

For me with the second core not waiting to handle instructions by sleeping I have much better performance in the areas that have been outlined before

Also as far as my battery I am on my phone constantly and see no real difference in battery performance
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Instead of using airplane mode our turning off (takes more juice to boot up) just put it in deep sleep mode via power menu, it will turn off all wireless services and everything, almost like when u put a laptop into sleep mode, then when u press the power button it won't have to go thru the entire boot process (so it well lose less juice turning back on) if you are going to put in airplane mode or turn off for only a little while, trust me, and just use sleep option in power menu, u won't be disappointed ;)

I love dzk and the work he does but it is true the 2nd ccore only comes on when bogged ddown and it does improve performance over battery life yes but its worth it because i still find the 2nd core idle until i start swiping at my screen so when u dont use your phone it stays idle but it turns on right away when u start messing wit it without the script itd take forever to turn on but thanks dzk cm7 is a beast and i cant wait for cm9

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noobtesting:
Updated to leaked ICS and loving it, only issue I have is the auto date and time isn't working. I have it checked and it will work for about 1-2 hours then it completely messes up and isn't even close to being accurate, so I manually set the clock and my texts will use random times. Like I sent my wife a txt at 9:49am and then when she replied it said she replied at 9am not 10am. It is weird and annoying but not a huge issue. Just really curious if anyone else was having this problem.

I haven't done any factory resets at all since flashing it and wanted to post and ask about it before I did as I do have everything set up now lol.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jnewell05:
I had this issue a few times. Factory data reset and reflashing didn't help at all. I even used the super wipe script through cwm recovery. I actually called att about it and soon after it started working fine. Course I told them it was gingerbread... Said they reset my phone to the tower or something along those lines.

But my issue was I couldn't check to see how much data I used through the att app cause it thought the date was off. But when I enabled auto time/date/ time zone it would show some crazy time. Like you said really annoying.....
