Kobridge, make one for Venum Ice, seems to be fine. Moderate has just a little lag at some times, and not running as smooth as without your tweaks but again, this is for saving battery, not performance. I'd give up very little performance for a lot of battery savings.

Like we talked about, keep 2Venum2 tweaks and that's all from Venum Ice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tewlman252:
Im testing this on Anakonda Rom now. Its very sluggish but I noticed I dont have a 1venum1 but do have the other, along with 3venom3gtweaks. Using ES File explorer, what would the permissions be set to, ie 644 = rxr rxrx 755 rwrx rxr etc? or do I need to change any of those values?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Actually I was working on that. I'll just give it a shot starting from M one.

Based on the feedback from other users, I'll decide to modify the tweak and/or create another A tweaks.

I didn't have a chance to look Anakonda deep inside. Let me check it out and get back to you once after I finish the Venum one first.

For now, change the permission for all Anakonda tweaks to 644 = rw-r--r--

Sounds awesome Kobridge, I'll look back to check on what you got when you're done.

Keep it up!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.0_Tweaks_v2.4.1M

Just added Kobridge Tweaks for VeNuM_RL5.0.

At this time, I decided to use only my tweaks because of many overlaps.

Check the op and second post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
OP will be updated in 1min with new flashable zip file for AnaKonda rom. Download and try it. This flashable zip file has not been tested yet and you would be the first one.

Check the rom dependent information from the second post also.

Please report back, how your test is going.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Kobridge,

Idk if you meant to but your venum ice tweaks deleted all venums tweaks and only put yours in? I guess imma find the 2venum2 tweak and put it back in unless you somehow put that in yours.

Runs a lot smoother though.

Thanks!

Edit: i just extracted from rom zip file with zarchiver, put it into init.d with rootexplorer, set permissions and reset, seems fine. But let me know if i shouldn't have. Maybe you meant to delete it cause you modified your tweak for ICE already? Regardless, thanks again. Running much smoother like I said before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Only the reason why I moved all VeNum tweaks into /sdcard/venum_tweaks folder is, it's too many for me. To correctly combine both tweaks in one places, actually I need more and more test, and need to fix my tweaks to get more synchronized with VeNuM. But, if you want to use the default Venum tweaks along with my tweaks, always you can do that. Just go to (I already mentioned that in op) /sdcard/venum_tweaks and move the original tweak files to the inti.d folder.

One thing, if those (tweaks) are all together, rename the VeNuM tweaks to start before mine. Put the prefix something like 01Venum.... The reason why, I do not want my tweaks over-written by VeNum and in that case, I wouldn't expect the result.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
That makes sense. Thanks sir.

Edit: BTW renamed it 01venum01 and it's much smoother? :confused:

Thanks for all your work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey Kobridge. For anyone looking to implement these tweaks into their own (unsupported) Roms, I think the rule of thumb is: If there are duplicate tweaks, whether they be init.d scripts or in the build.prop, the second (or last) set will always be the tweak utilized correct?

In build.prop for instance, as someone suggested, take all the tweaks and manually add them to bottom of their own build.prop file and they will overwrite any duplicate code written above (kinda a sloppy way of doing it though, you should always check for duplicate code :)).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Hey TD,

It depends on. Some tweaks permanently change the setting(system) and the second tweak may not be applied. But generally speaking it's true.

For the build.prop, the best way would be line by line comparison. But we can still place the newer portion of tweaks in the bottom area - copy and paste. If someone knows how to edit and deal with build.prop, it's not a big deal. But someone who don't know about this, like I said before, incorrect edit of build.prop could be a reason of boot loop or stuck.

This is one of the reason why we (you and I) started creating flashable zip file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You left out the real reason. I did it because I'm too lazy to keep doing it the manual way! ;)

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I am particularly interested in this statement. Are there any of your tweaks that would change system settings requiring a user to restore a backup to revert back or can they be reversed manually?

Keep in mind, I may need to create a flashable zip later on to restore my or someone elses system to pre-tweak status. If there currently isn't anything that is ok. I just want to put the idea in your head for future use. :)

(I've been running this for at least a week or two now and I don't know about anyone else but a week or two seems like forever when you have to restore a backup. LOL)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
I have not flashed any of these tweaks as of yet. However I just have a question. I thought maybe you guys could help me out. I'm just wondering if I have a bad battery or what the deal is. It seems like my battery drains abnormally quick. I'm running The Blu Kuban ROM and everyone is reporting good battery life. But I'm not seeing it... any ideas? I have no rogue apps running and have background sync turned off. Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Can you post your battery monitor widget pro 'history' screenshot as well (when it's been idle on battery for like an hour or two with no use). If you haven't yet, go into settings/monitoring - Battery capacity (mAh) and set it to the stock 1800 (for our phone) so it reads correctly too.

Please read through the OP of Kobridge's thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625299

for additional tips and not all are related to the tweaks, on getting the most out of battery life.

Edit: So many things affect battery beyond what the tweaks can do for you. For instance, most of the users' goal is maximum on screen time. Personally, I don't spend that much time staring at my phone so for me the best thing is radio/phone/talking to a real person time. :)

I think this sucks up the most battery life out of a phone, second to something drawing high cpu like a game, thirdly, a phone in a bad signal area will draw down the battery just trying to maintain connection even if the phone is idle.

Short version of the story: it all depends on how you use your phone, every person's experience may differ greatly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Thank you very much for posting this! I DO work in a building where I bounce between 0 and 1 bar for 8 hours solid. I'm SURE that has something to do with it lol. But I worry about leaving my phone on the charger constantly or taking it off and putting it back on too often. I will work on getting that idle history screenshot.

I'm the same way as you are with how I use my phone expect I stream music sometimes and play games every now and then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If you would like to ensure you get a better signal, or if signal/connection is ever an issue you may want to consider Roam Control. It is a pay app, but is the only proven app to force roaming. I use it when I am anywhere with little or no signal. Of course, roaming doesn't ensure you're going to get a better signal anyway, all you can do is try to make it better. I use it all the time.

The key to getting the best battery life is to get great deep sleep/idle results. That is what I look for in BMW (battery monitor widget) and that's why I asked for the history. Applying changes to the Android OS for awake time does help but they both are necessary to get the best battery life possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Yea I have that app actually and it works pretty well at my job. However I'm worried about roaming 8 hours a day 5 days a week lol. I'm not sure if sprint would kick me or not. I prefer to stay on sprint especially with them being now the only unlimited carrier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just can't abuse it carelessly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
You are just like me - 0 to 1 bar radio signal in my home office. I stay in front of computer monitor more than 18 hours a day with my phone. But most of time, I use my home phone and my cell phone is just an extra. I do not use my cell phone as much as other users but uses lots of emails.

Any way, before my tweaks, I was not even able to use my phone just for one day (even the phone was standby mode almost all day long). But now, my phone shows 50% left after 48 hours (2days). Based on this, I can use my phone 4 days without recharging. So far, my on screen time is just about 1hour.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
KO, are you just using whichever of SFhub's ICS stock rooted is current? Totally stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
I was wondering this also? What ROM is your daily for now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
100% Stock. Just rooted & Busybox installed + Go Launcher (removed TW launcher).

Kobridge Tweaks for VeNum 2.4.1P version

Just released 2.4.1P (performace) version for VeNuM users. I've heard there are some lag times on VeNuM (from few users). For them, it's more focused on performance while they could save some amount of battery consumption. But battery saving would not be big as much as M version.

If you still see the 'lag' on your phone after applying this tweak, it would not be related to my tweaks or there's something that not working well with my tweaks!

Edit: added one more screenshot at OP. 56 hours and 41% battery remaining. about 1 hour on screen time. Wifi (mode:never) on, 3g on, etc.

I'm using rooted Stock FE16 and lots of apps (total app count is about 300 including system apps). Tweak version 2.4A.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
Since there is several files, which one should I use with HyDrA Rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Post #59. It was provided for jamice4u but no test result reported yet and that's the reason why this zip file is not on op.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Thanks Kobridge, I'll test out performance tweaks too, standalone for now until Venum releases ICE FE16 after more testing from the testers.

I'm also gonna try Calks FE16 Odexed stock he released too to see how tweaks perform on stock roms.

Thanks again, keep up the good work. Very much appreciated. Let me know if I can help more in anyway.

Update: the P tweaks for Venum Ice is flawless (NO 2VeNuM2 tweaks), camera took and saved right away. And no lag that I see.

Great job!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
I'll confirm the P tweaks for venum are much better. It was really choppy even while looking through pages in xda and bringing up the menu to get to settingA.D. Now lag free thanks ko!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
Would it be possible to adapt this to an EL29 stock rom? I understand everything is different on ICS, but the init.d scripts should work. All that has to be done is modification to the build.prop; am I correct on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I don't know if this has been posted but I'm running Calkulin FE16 stock Deodexed Rom and once I flash the v2.4 tweaks whenever I use the stock camera and take a picture it lags a good couple of seconds to save the picture. I reflashed the rom and all is back to normal, that was the only problem I encounter with it so far, just my 2 cents, thanks for these tweaks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
That's with all roms unless Kobridge makes a performance tweak. Besides, regardless of the lag on camera, it still takes the picture exactly of what you're taking as if it doesn't lag, just takes 2-3 seconds to save is all.

Again, this is tweaks to save battery not performance tweaks, expect minimal lag.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Bump!

Also Kobridge I know you're working hard on tweak for new Venum Ice. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I just flashed FE16 De-odexed Stock.

It was easy to tell on Calk's FD26 rom because he already was using it in his but how can I tell if the zip align is working in this one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I was just pointing that out, but thanks for your time and response.

Edit: I thought that v2.4M was a performace tweak mod with still some battery saving but I was probably too tired to understand the whole point :)

Thanks, I forgot about the log. I ended up running it through Smanager and it reported that all of the APK's had already been checked.

I went ahead and installed Stock FE16 to see if I could duplicate some of these wild claims about battery life that you've been making. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Stock camera had been a problem since ICS. It's a really kind of headache. One of the reason why I couldn't use the UC below 1GHz was because of this one. Try to find out some other camera app.

Except the VeNuM tweaks, there's no performance tweak yet. If the demand is big, I'll create for Performance tweaks for other stock based roms. But it's based on the download counter. For some build, I do not see many downloads. Download counter explains everything for me.

For GB Roms, there're already lots of stuff out there and custom Roms. If you are using stock, maybe I can work for that but, from my side, I cannot make a test on GB. That's my problem. One phone and supporting lots of Roms without test?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
I am running stock GB and I will be glad to test for you. I understand there are alot of other things out there. I'm just always up for trying something new.

New scripts for VeNuM ICE RL 5.5

For VeNuM ICS Release 5.5 users :

Check out this! (same info at post #2 and download available).

New! [5/21/12] VeNum_ICE_Rom_RL5.5

Customized VeNum_ICE_Rom RL5.5 Kobridge All-in-One pack is available now!

Kobridge tweak changes for VeNuM RL5.5:

* Added every Kobridge tweak files into one zip file.

* No need to download the Kobridge tweak files again at least tweak version stays same.

* Including VeNuM stock tweaks - you can go back to original VeNuM tweaks without manual backup

* Easy tweak mode changes through the other set of flashable zip files

* you don't even need to repacked kernel to run the init.d. This tweak is already including the init.d support

* and more...

How to install:

1. Choose one of the flashable zip files from attachment -

Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5AF.zip - Aggressive First install

Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5MF.zip - Moderate First install

Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5PF.zip - Performance First install

2. Flash the 2.5xF from recovery.

3. Reboot

How to change the tweak mode:

1. do not download zip file again. Just go to kernel recovery mode (not stock kernel)

2. choose zip file from /sdcard/VeNuM_Tweaks

3. Flash and reboot

How to go back to VeNuM default tweaks -

1. same as changing tweak mode but choose Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5S.zip file.

2. flash and reboot.

My recommendation to select the tweak mode is, first try 2.5P tweak and if it's accpetable, then try 2.5M and 2.5P... If the lag time is not acceptable for you, just stay with VeNuM default tweaks.

Performance (from fast to slow) -

VeNum default > 2.5P > 2.5M > 2.5A

Battery savings

VeNuM dafault < 2.5P < 2.5M < 2.5A

Enjoy and let me know if you find any bug on it (not tweak but on flashing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Thanks Ko,

I'll try them and let you know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
Going to give performance a try as well today. Figure it offers as bit of battery savings a well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Venum ICE 5.5 users:

Moderate tweaks work right on border of tolerable. (mainly Camera, people should know by now, takes picture exactly as if no lag but takes 3 seconds to save.) I didn't lag using XDA app or any others really.

If you want to use these tweaks on ICE with same performance as Venums tweaks then use the PF, you'll still benefit from the battery savings and have performance, as for myself I'll stay on Moderate for now to see battery saving difference.

Thanks Ko!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
I cant find the venom tweaks folder after flashing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I am programming the new Calk 1.5 zips right now but those should be the same setup. The folder should be on the internal SD as Venum_Tweaks.

Please be aware the Android OS directory listing is case sensitive so if you're browsing through recovery (and have a really long list) look through the entire directory. Lower case directories at the botton, directories beginning with upper case letters at the top.

Edit: Also, in recovery you have to manually switch to internal storage when installing a zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
Im on venum 5.5 and was trying to locate that folder with es explorer . I cant find it with es.

Edit im using the kernal that came with the rom. Do i need to flash cwm kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Seems like sometimes the files are not being created because it's not being mounted at the time writing files to sdcard.

In that case, just unzip the downloaded flashable zip file. Inside of the you will find the zip files ending with 2.5M.zip 2.5P.zip, 2.5S,zip and 2.5A.zip files. Move those files to your sdcard manually and flash the zip file from there.

Hope this help!

Edit: I'm not sure it's the kernel issue or not. Could be related....

Update: Got the answer. It seems like the sfhub's plus kenel does not write into internal sd, only external. But Agat's kernel writes to both. I think you don't need to change the kernel because of this. Just like I said, unzip and place the other zip files into whatever location you want to.

Update: TDunham just told me that, if the backup folder is not created in sdcard, then try it again. He got the backup folder successfully created during the second run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Attached are the latest 2.5 builds for Calkulins FD26 v1.5 ROM.

The format is similar to the Venum tweaks.

P - Performance

M - Moderate

A - Aggressive

S - Stock

Please follow the same guidelines Kobridge set for Venum tweaks here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26357345&postcount=104

Edit: An additional feature has been added to both the Venum and Calk builds.

You can verify which tweak you're running by checking the Build number in Settings/About phone.

Right now I am running:

Calkulins.E4GT.2.ROM.v1.5.KOB.TWv2.5A <--Aggressive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Great Job and Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your time working on this!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarons510:
I've been experimenting with various ROMs, presently having CM7 on one Kindle and reloadedROM v1.3 by Bite Blaze on another. On the former I have installed the bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.4a, while the latter boots with the yellow triangle but I don't recall the name, etc., of the bootloader nor how to find that out. Both have TWRP v2.0.0. I remember trying, but failing, to install a later version of TWRP on one of them. I haven't gotten around to trying CWM yet.

I'm interested in knowing whether these Kindles are already protected from OTA updates, especially to the bootloader, by what I've done so far and, if not, what more I have to do to protect them. These were both, BTW, apparent warranty returns with cracked glass but otherwise fully functioning that I bought on eBay perhaps two months ago for roughly $80 each, including shipping. They had, of course, been restored to stock and I have, if memory serves, never registered either of them with Amazon, nor do I intend to. I intend, in fact, to sever any possible connection with Amazon, except perhaps to access the Amazon web site for other purposes, and I'm trying to be clear on what is necessary to accomplish that.

I realize that I've been a bit too wordy here, and perhaps a bit unfocused, for which I apologize. I would appreciate it if anybody who bothers to respond doesn't compound the problem by quoting this whole thing rather than just whatever sentences or phrases they wish to refer to.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Non stock based roms won't run the risk of OTA updates, if that's what you're asking.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarons510:
Does that include changes to the bootloader or any of the code, wherever it is stored, that loads the bootloader when the KF is powered on? In particular, can any changes be made OTA that would keep a factory cable from putting the Kindle in fastboot mode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psudeke:
Check out DroidWall. It allows you to whitelist apps and processes so they can access your wifi connection and blocks those which aren't. Just remember to reinstall it after flashing a new ROM, i also use titanium backup which will remember your settings.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leswgnr:
A factory cable is independent of any software changes relating to OTA that you could make to the kindle.

The cable depends on the bootloader.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarons510:
Is the xloader the 'real', low-level bootloader

I finally discovered that there is a first partition called xloader, that contains, apparently, whatever code loads the bootloader from the second partition. Is it the xloader that responds to the presence of the factory cable by putting the device in fastboot mode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
No, the bootloader in partition 2 checks for the factory cable and puts it into fastboot mode if it's detected.
