A little background

Supercharging is a memory management script. I believe its origin is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592312

I decided to test it out to see if performance is enhanced in any measurable way. I may at some point run this thread through my UX machine to find out what people have said about it.

I used CyberGR's ROM because it has a user friendly minfree menu option and also he provided a flashable mod with the supercharging script. Also CyberGR's ROM has no issues I'm aware of, having previously ranked it high among the ICS ROMs. Other ROMs may also provide supercharging, but I'm not sure which ones.

I tested with performance/cfq at 1GHz, very clean install, apps restored from titanium backup, sync disabled, etc... same methodology as my previous ROM benchmarks.

Summary of Results

There was no significant performance difference in any configuration.

That is, no difference with or without the script, at any minfree level. The only difference I noticed was that the supercharger script defaulted to a setting of 125MB free, i.e. apps start getting killed if you have less than 125MB free. As a result, I was able to multitask fewer apps. To me, this does not seem like a benefit. (Although if you do install the script, there is nothing stopping you from adjusting your minfree to a lower level, as the options to do this are in the menu, with stick-on-reboot.)

Feel free to tell me where I am going wrong with this, as I am no expert here... :o
[Nexus S General] simms22:
ive been saying this for a long time. but i do feel that it could benefit older legacy devices that dont perform like newer devices(like the og droid, mytouch..)
[Nexus S General] RcrdBrt:
What an amazing work!

Bedalus you're the graph's king

I respect you
[Nexus S General] Jamalsid:
I always suspected there was no real benefit to this script. Except maybe that it helps to stop launcher re draws. Although using the latest roms and kernels with CM9 bigmem does the same thing.
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
I don't want your respect. I want your obedience! :mad:

:D just kidding. Drunk.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
youll need one of these then..
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Hopefully no-one reads the quickly quoted quote below... :p
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
lmfao

oh man are you going to regret this haha
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
D'oh!:o
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
You should really hide it from zeppelinrox, the supercharger script creator :D
[Nexus S General] zeppelinrox:
Dammit... what did I miss?

heh.

Anyway if free ram is the same before and after supercharging, benchies would be usually be the same.

I'd be curious about KAK and 3G TurboCharger results tho ;)
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
What I believe is similar to simms22's that this supercharger script may benefit devices older than our Nexus S, which have less RAM available.

With Nexus S and ICS, I don't think there's major problem with memory management.

It's true, though, that after multitasking with several apps simultaneously, especially those RAM-hungry apps, launcher may redraw.

But that doesn't happen anytime.

Having said that, custom kernels now provide this crazy BIGMEM hack which provides our Nexus S with around 380-400 free RAM available.

But my question is: Isn't free RAM a waste?

I learn this from my experience with iOS (please don't mock me here :D).
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
I agree with you Glenn, it seems a waste. I see no reason why not set the minfree to the smallest amount possible, since the OS kills apps when necessary.
[Nexus S General] zeppelinrox:
Yeah having alot of free memory, over a certain amount, is indeed a waste and just kills multitasking.

But having too much free ram in order to get speed is a classic case of improving one thing at the expense of another.

SuperCharger aims to keep it fast without having too much free ram.

With a higher launcher priority, everything stays snappy without having to go crazy with the free ram thing.
[Nexus S General] Nexism:
Thank you for your hard work in all of your benchmarks bedalus they have helped me get closer to the perfect set up.

Every time any updates come out I do a completely clean install scripts are the last thing I apply. I really can tell a difference in the feel of my device after running the V6 script. It feels much more snappy. I don't know if this would be considered a "performance gain" as it is an overall feel of my device.

Almost forgot, thank you Zeppelinrox for your awesome scripts. I run them all on my NS4G. And yes, I leave the V6 animation on :)
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
I think Android manages memory very well.

I'm a heavy multitasker.

I read a lot: news, Twitter, xda, articles in random websites using Chrome, all done while listening to music, yet I seldom get my stock launcher redraws.

This is done without a kernel having BIGMEM hack.

Compared to iOS memory management, Android is far better in this case.

I'm proud to have an Android phone among my iPhone friends.

They all always whine "Gosh! Apple really needs to give iPhone more RAM!"

And I was like "No buddy. Apple has to learn how Android manages memory." :D :D

No offense for those using iOS device.

I do also use it.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Lowest amount isn't wise and neither is a high amount. The listed "free" ram is used for caching and is nearly all full (use the free command in terminal for more info). Very little ram gets wasted in phone OSes. As ram gets to around 1gb+ minfree values won't see the light of day with current apps anyway.

The more cached the better, so long as it doesn't impact the currently needed portion.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
That's exactly what I'm experiencing.

With more apps cached, multitasking is faster.

However, when I see an increase in free RAM available, that's when I "feel" my phone is snappier. But actually this gives disadvantage to multitasking. Some apps needed to be loaded from scratch.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Free RAM, as listed in the [Settings > Apps > Running] section is cached RAM. None of that is "free", it is being used, however all of that is available if a currently running service requires it.

Minfrees play a role in getting rid of the "expendables" when this "free" RAM gets below a certain point (at least i'm pretty sure it is the cached RAM that is taken into account with minfrees, otherwise multitasking wouldn't be possible considering the actual unused RAM amounts). More info here. These are very useful on low memory devices, as you get above 768MB - 1GB they become near meaningless, as you'll find yourself rarely ever out of memory.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Thanks for your explanation, Harbb.

This clears any misconception I have.

Anyway I hate this thanks limit in XDA!
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Glenn. The bigmem hack is not about having more free ram at all. It allocates more ram that the os can use.

The end result is basically like what adding a 50mb ram stick to the phone would accomplish.

Available ram doesn't = free ram or ram management etc.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Thanks for the follow up.

I really enjoy this discussion.

So, what I can conclude is this: BIGMEM hack allocates more RAM. And this results to more cached apps. Thus multitasking becomes even more efficient.

Is this correct?

I haven't yet noticed significant difference, though.

Maybe it's because I'm already satisfied with what I have now.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Yeah. That is a good summary.
[Nexus S General] Gearrion:
Well on my rom, i just set dev options to hold only

two tasks. In rom control set scroll cache

off and minfree to 50 and i'm getting the

same results as supercharger.

Running open khang rom
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
If you set it to hold only 2 tasks, you're actually make multitasking less efficient since less apps are cached.

Am I correct?
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
I haven't tried those options yet. I think they limit the amount of running services, most likely not cache. It'll probably just close the oldest running app if you have more than x running (music, gbc ad and similar services I imagine).

Doesn't really make much difference if it works like this. Limits you doing multiple active things at once though. I might try it out later.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
I have tried this option.

And from my observation, it limits the cached apps. The running services are still intact. I'm not so sure, though.
[GT540 Optimus General] ajesik:
Hi,

what you suggest as next rom if I am using joe.stone's 2.3.7 (ASIS)?

Regards
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
joe.stones one was 2.3.2 and some months ago.

2.3.7 asis was by mur4ik :)

i think you should go for SDSL final by miroslav
[GT540 Optimus General] Moster2:
I suggest swiftdroid sdsl v1.1 by miroslav. It has some good performance for me and works fine so far.

If you want something more fancy, you can also check his china's roms which are also based on sdsl v1.1
[GT540 Optimus General] ajesik:
Thanks :)

Yes.. it was Mur4ik :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Hi

Is it possible to replace Play's camera module for a NEO's 8Mp one or from another xperia 2011 phone, like Ray or Arc?

I've seen some disassembly videos and the connector seems to be the same in all of them.

Regards
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] University of Pi:
I don't know but I'd imagine that it would require kernel modifications and would be an overly complex solution...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezadsyafiq99:
depend on rom..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Well i know if we have a Neo V and get the 8mp camera module of Neo and flash the Neo camera files we get a full Neo.

Since the conectors are the same the module should work i think and with that the camera files should work on Play.

What do you mean?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Nothing?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I'm sure megapixel is hardware related. I doubt flashing a different camera would work

Kinda like asking "If I flash my NES could I make it into an Xbox360?"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] University of Pi:
I think he's talking about swapping out the physical module

that's why I said and ezadsyafiq99 said that it would certainly require software modifications (somehow I can't think of a wording that comes off less angry sounding; I'm just trying to explain ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Well, like University answered, i was talking about switching the hardware camnera module from another phone (Neo,Arc) since in the Neo V you can use the 8mp module of Neo.

Well i will assume that isn´t just switch the module, also some libs and etc.., but i would like to know is if any one knows if there is a module that is plug and play (aside from the software mod).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4493700:
If you switch the camera of the play for the neo, doesn't that mean you'll need to.switch the camera.apk because the one the play has the mp option up to 5mp
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Well, if a camera module of Neo is hardware compatible, i will assume that i will need to change the camera.apk and libs and some more software related.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbostraw:
Hmm I was wondering something similar: my xperia s camera module is broken (only think broken after a 4 story fall!) and I can only find 8mp Neo modules online.

Do you think I can just swap it with my current module (as they are basically the same) or would it require APK fiddling?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
I´m not 100% shure, in the Neo V it´s just switch the camera module with the Neo and flash the Neo firmware and all set, so i´ll assume that in Xperia 2011 range i could try to add a 8mp to the Play, my friend has a Neo V and he will make the upgrade to the 8mp, and i will try the 5mp of his Neo V on Play, if it works, so should the 8mp too.

In Xperia S it´s a new line up, but the software seems the same, if the conecctors are the same and since your warranty is gone, you could give it a go.

But still, i would search for the original since it´s 12mp, going to 8mp it´s a long downgrade.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Well, i already checked a camera module from Arc and Neo, none fits the Play, only hope is the Ray or Mini could fit.

Hello

I apologize in advance for my English

I need advice if I could revive my HTC. If you want to get to the boot loader (camera + reset) to get there. The buttons seem to be ok but the system does not respond and get into the boot loader.

Even I can do hard reset.

When the system loads the WM so badly I calibrated the display so it is unlocked.

Do you know any trick how I could convince the system to get into boot loader and can load a new flash?

to get bootloader mode simply by pressing the camera key, and then use the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone. Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears

I've finally lost patience with my TF101 boot looping and being flat when I come to use it. :mad: Asus clearly aren't in a rush to fix it, and I can't find an alternative tablet that I'm happy to replace it with right now, so I've decided to give guevor's version a go. :cool:

The problem being that I've read a load of threads on rooting a TF, but still haven't come to a conclusion on which method actually works for a WW one on 9.2.1.17, if there even is one!

So any chance some one could help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Use Vipermod to root. Search the forum for link.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wolvers69:
Thanks, I'll take a look.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wolvers69:
Just wanna check my list with you experienced guys before getting stuck in, mostly because it's been a while since I did anything like this and I can't find a thorough guide for the whole process.

1. Root with vipermod.

2. Install ROM manager from the market and use to flash CWM recovery.

3. Boot into CWM recovery and make backup.

4. Copy kernel .zip file to storage of the TF.

5. Boot into CWM recovery and select install .zip option.

6. Enjoy new kernel and hope for no more bootloop/flat battery scenarios making me angry? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Correct, except you shouldn't use apps like Rom Manager to do things that you can easily do yourself. Don't blindly flash whatever Rom Manager tells you to because sometimes it will screw up your tablet. Haven't you read all these threads about people having problems because of ROM manager?

Just use the recovery installer apk by Gnufabio. It will flash a slightly outdated CWM but it works without problems and you can update it yourself by downloading and flashing a newer CWM posted on this forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madhatter79:
I can confirm viper for root, and gnufabio recovery installer.apk. I just went through the process last night. If you do not use gnufabio you will spend hours trying to get cwm on your device, and failing.(2 hours of dead androids in recovery) wish i had seen gnufabio sooner.

Edit: also theres a remixed viper out there supposed to be a 1 click root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1534475 is the link

Also i suggest the touch cwm from

It works very well and all touch so no need to press physical buttons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wolvers69:
Thanks for the input guys, it's very much appreciated. :)

I haven't seen the threads on problems with ROM manager. I've just been searching for specific terms and TBH I find this forum generally difficult to find up to date information. It's very time consuming searching and reading lots of nothing posts. The TF info threads have a lot of links to outdated guides (or ones that lack detail as they assume you know everything already :rolleyes:) and a lot of the shortened terminology that's used is confusing unless you visit here. I've read as much as I can, but I wanted to be sure I had the right information before trying out something that could render my tablet useless. :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wolvers69:
Typical, fallen at the first hurdle!

"hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen" just results in a screen with an Android with a red triangle on his chest. :( More extensive searching needed I suppose.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madhatter79:
lol nope this is my problem i told you about in earlier post

get the recoveryinstall.apk by gnufabio install it on your tf and run it. it installs a working cwm then you can do the touch cwm,kernel rom etc after that

Finally got around to doing this. All OK so far, got it rooted and touch CWM installed but I'm a bit unsure about what caches and stuff I should wipe. Do I need to do both wipe data/factory reset AND/OR wipe cache partition in the touch CWM recovery before flashing the new kernel?
