Hey Phakeer, haven't been around lately, but I love what you've done with the OP. Definitely gonna give this a try again, been a while and I'm trying out Paranoid now, so I have to keep a spare battery in my pocket to make it through the day. Any gear you recommend or just try em all out and go with what feels right?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Id love to help.

Tell you what..

If you think its not at all installed try this command terminal emulator

su

cat /etc/log/3rd_Gear.log

If placebo gear three didnt run (your screen shot says that you applied Gear 03, and that gears 1 2 & 4 are not applied)

then that cat command will return nothing.

If it did run then that command will print the results of it running.

Well go from there.

They will have enough permission just from being on sdcard unless you are on an AOSP.

But to make sure do

su

chmod 0755 /place/youput/AAAAAA (However many lolol)

Just run it at this point

sh /sameplace/youchmod/AAAAAA

Then with screenstate moved to initd the same

chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/screenstate

sh /etc/init.d/screenstate

Guys I am getting the following error...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Ok, Did you flash Placebo? I'm just not understanding how you could have flashed it and ended up not having the directories.

ls /etc/init.d

that is lower case LS which is short for list.

if that returns nothing than do

mkdir /etc/init.d

mkdir /etc/log

chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/*

chmod 0666 /etc/log

SHIFT03

That will create the init.d folder and the log folder,. then it makes sure that it has the right permissions.

We can go from there.

I'm not sure what the error about "on" is.

But the error that says "key must be unique" just means that the setting that the script attempted to place already existed.

Sorry.. it seems I'm of little help today....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlamian:
You are of great help. It must be because of something else I did as I have been playing too much with PA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
To clarify...

What your screen shot indicates is that every settings applied except for four.

2 of the 6 errors are expected errors for AOSP based roms as they do not have the t_systemproperty database,

Another two "errors" are the attempt to "insert" wifi idle ms, and dhcp max retry limit. But since they already exist, the command fails, however the very next two commands in the script are to set the values if they exist already (as a contigency) as those did not err.

The quit error is irrelevant as well.

That 6th error is bugging me though because I dont know what its referring to.

(im short, the entire range of the expected DID apply.)

Confirm by seeing if your "longpress" time seems faster on home screen. It should pick up folders and icons waayaay faster.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I havent used the actual Placebo2 platform for a minute so from memory may be off...

But I believe as far as placebo is concerned there should just be a numberrd file (reflecting thr last run gear which is also the next to run)

The script in init.d is only s starter script. Its similar to the ones in xbin.

Placebo itself shoulf be /etc/GearBox or something.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supersaeed:
so after you install this how do you know if it worked? what are you suppose to notice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
well now both of those depend on what you installed

Addendum: I apologize, I didn't realize how new you are to XDA.

If you post which you installed I'll be happy to tell you what to expect and where to look to find the records...

I'll start by assuming you installed Placebo 2.0, in which case you have 4 options. How to use them is posted in the OP.

The four different gears vary slightly. . Everyone agrees that the default Gear3 is the option best if you are looking for battery savings

The rest seem to give slightly different results for different people.. Gear3 can only fully work if you are on a kernel that has the Conservative governor as an option.

Logs can be found in /etc/log

there will be four (one for each gear) and by default they are all already filled so one can open them see what each gear does in detail.

If you still have questions feel free to ask.. And if you installed one that isn't Placebo2.0 just let me know and I'll get you more info

(and as for the ' what to look for ' ,, that will vary greatly per placebo, per gear. This little project has gone from performance to battery saving and back again ... several times. )

Welcome to XDA. I am pleased to have your first posts and your first thanks happen in here. Hopefully it sets the right pace.

(and shame on you TD, having fun with somebody on their very first post :p )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supersaeed:
yes I installed the 2.0 and thanks a lot for explaining i'll give the gear 3 a try i'm currently on the codename android JB rom

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

this might be obvious but when you do a factory reset to install different roms or whatever you would have to install this again right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
a facrory reset: No

a new rom: Yes

a factory reset erases the data partition whereas a new rom replaces the system partition

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supersaeed:
Is this what's suppose to happen?

Yes.. That shows that you were running gear 01 and went to gear 03.. showing that gear 02 and gear 04 were NOT in init.d folder to be removed... hope that makes sense

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
The removal script is for convenience.

It only automates the already easy procedure....

The easieat way to remove Placebo would be terminal emulator if you have it.

Two command examples::

To make placebo inactive but still have it if you want it... simply do

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

(to mount system as writable) then

rm -f /etc/init.d/*

(that will delete placebo AND all other scripts in there. but will leave placebo inactive in GearBox.)

to just say eff placebo, do the above and then the same on gearbox

rm -f /etc/GearBox

done

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
There are several ways to tell but they vary as much as the options.. lol

the sure-fire way to know is to use root explorer (or equiv) to go into /etc/log and see the creation time on the logs. The most recently created should reflect the time and gear of either your last boot or your last SHIFT. (and in the log there should be little to no errors.

Noob question. Im going to flash over to blu Kubans latest build would I be able to run the universal zip for the Wimax settings? I get poop signals on ics and I wanted to.know if it would boost the.signal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
WiMax (if you get it - I do) and 3G are very dependent on tower location, modem AND the network settings.

If you've found a good modem and get some reception then tweaking the WiMax (and other network settings) should definitely benefit you.

Make a nandroid, verify it (I always verify my nands but that's just me), flash it then give it a go and see.

Worst case is it does nothing.

Experience here shows it should help you.

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] juggalo1300:
One more noob question. If I flash a new kernel or a new modem would I have to are flash the wimax placebo zip? I just rebooted from the install and it looked like it works well. But after a few speed test it just dropped and dropped. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
flashing a kernel or modem will not change what files you have in unit.d or etc.

as for speed tests, I would use them ad a general reference only.. use practicality tests such as browsing wiki from one link to another as quickly as you ... I cannot, on 3g , click link to link faster than they load. no bs. my 3g is insane. let's see if speedtest agrees :)

If I run this on GB which script should I run. I seen in the early pages someone asking about it but there was no mention of which script. Im new to the script thing and I really don't want to crash and burn. And is there a way I could run the script in terminal or Es to see if it would perform on my ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yes. All good caution questions.

if you're on GB do NOT download any that say they theme. The way I have it install leaves very little room for error but to be safe, just avoid themed materials.

If you to test this, or any other script that runs at boot, do not have it in init.d

Instead store it someplace else EG /preload

To run it, simply make a copy and place it "/system/xbin" and rename it something more simple. EG placebo

In termemu the line to run it is the same thing you named it in Xbin. This IS cap sensetive.

Two things to know,

1) A large part of the changes are made are taken from the sysctl.conf

As long as sysctl.conf is in "/system/etc" (not in a folder within) then running placebo will read from it, but it won't run auto at boot.

2) A lite edit will be needed for this to fully work.

you must open up Placebo and look for a line near the top with its name and path. You must change the path to either placebo's location, or entirely change path and name to your Xbin copy. EG

change "/system/etc/init.d/PlaceboXXII" to. "/preload/PlaceboXXII"

or to

"/system/xbin/whatevernameyougiveit"

hope I answered all

Second is universal and only pushes Placebo related files into place

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
no need to apologize, Placebo slows down my speedtest results also so I doubt you did it wrong.... I don't remember any WiFi tweaks though except for SupScan and I didn't explain that right I apologize :(

increasing the number will help in the battery aspect, nowhere else.

you want WiFi speed increase?

in build.prop put

net.tcp.buffersize.wifi='6144,196080,6144808,4096,64736,4496088'

Eh man, my view has and always will be " it' s your phone "

I started this thread to perpetuate self sufficiency and have (FTMP) almost never

left one stuck with my call. If you are asking if there is any danger in switching

the answer is no.

If you are asking if placebo will still do something.. the answer yaano..

A large part of placebo is the governor settings themselves.. not like I did something

special,... but I DID spend WAAAAY too much time in test mode on several occasions..

Hope that helps in some way.
