I decided to simplify things. Everything will be stored in init.d

putting the extra layer makes it so the file PLACEBO will trigger whatever it is programmed to.

IE, its easier to be safe since the only thing that can run at boot is that file that I will never change the name of.

In short, i could have 30 placebos in there, but only the one with the right name will run on its own

;)

A have a more practical set though, that one is more for fun.

Gimne a sec.

This one should get *good battery considering* how ridiculous it is...

Going to have to try this one out, love me some more battery life. One question, since the sysctl file will now be located in init.d should we delete the other one (sysctl.conf) that's in etc folder? In order to avoid any conflict.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
It has settings inside for a smarter ondemand but you can use whichever you want

Your going to have to put the sysctl file somwere and then edit placebo on the approprite line, im telling you, its safer and easier to use the directories it caaaaame with :p

I flashed the removal tool then the blu kuban tweak script, flashed "diet pill". My phone kept freezing and I lost my phone signal. I re-flashed the removal script and tweak script, flashed the universal script again. Everything is running smooth now, anyone else have that happen to them or know why that might have happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I havent heard of that yet, but it is part of the reason I dont like flashable scripts.

If you are comfortable with root explorer or something, it a lot faster and you dont get the reboot blues on your battery =:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
Hey I've been keeping up with this thread.... to the best of my abilities. Its hard to do with all of the work that you do. I'm on times AOKP and I'm already underclocked and undervolted using the smartassv2 governer. I'm just wondering what version of your tweaks I should run. Thanks for any help man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
Is it possible to give me a quick run down on how to install your scripts using root explorer? I'm always in the mood to learn something new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Simple,

Using >root browsing tool of choice< just extract the contents of THEzip/XTRAS/system/etc/init.d

Then move that stuff your phones init.d folder

alright, so this one deserves a better name than the date.

First off, thank you HakCenter.. that guy knows his stuff and helped to realize a few things that will help me a lot.

Secondly,

Placeboπ[SIZE]

Straight up settings, no loops, ifs ands or buts about it. From what I can tell this IS absolutely my best attempt at a blend of performance and battery.

Set with ondemand.

Scheduler will register as "sio" but in fact, I knuckled down all night and wrote alternating queues.

Loops and Ramblocks 1,3,5,7 etc are equipped with

Sio,

64 byte min IO

512 optimal IO

2,4,6 etc have

Deadline,

256 min IO

1024 optimal IO

It took forever to write this one, but it was worth it.

Thanks again Hak. Now throw it all in your app :D

I'm on CM9, in case that matters?

Awesome looking scripts, tho!!!!!

Edit: looks like the /system remount opts need to be 'ro', not just 'r'.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Weird, I did pack that right before I passed out.. I could have done it wrong, bu it is right in my system.

Ill put up another one just in case it installs wrong overall.

It'll take me a little bit. I'm seeing the woman off atm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
No rush, I've made the edits by hand and run it. It's causing reboots for me on CM9. Am troubleshooting whether it's a conflict with Tegrak atm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
This one has that same version, but it also has it the way I originally wrote it and that is the the one that will run. I just tested both, and zipped it from /data/local to make sure permissions hold.

I hope it works better

http://db.tt/BCzRatAD

Changed the download a few posts up to the same as this until I figure out what's wrong.

It is the same thing. The difference is only that this is how I wrote it, and the other is how I am trying to .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
So between the placebott and the "my personal favorite" zip you posted which would be better?

- Sent From My Blu Kuban Themed Tapatalk Like A Boss
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I do want to test this, but I'm pretty sure that I remember people having problems on CM9 over- or underclocking the ondemand gov. I found that when I commented out all the cpufreq stuff, the phone was more stable, but not fully. It would reboot when I tried to adb shell into it.

I'm busy for a little while but will come back to this in a couple of hours.

PS: no biggie, but the PLACEBO script in this new file doesn't have the ',rw' after remount, so /system will still be writeable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I edited the permissions on a test Rom (TW) and the log shows it working. No reboots. I have tegrak installed, but not set on boot. I'm using rujelus's latest kernel should and ExTweaks.

Yeah, the permission thing was my fault ,I'm sure. BC, did you take a look at the script? Lmao after hearing what Hak was saying I thought, man.... basically you want me to write my log to avoid looping. Lol, so I practically did just that.. wrote my log. Lol the funny thing is that (to a noob like me) >my< way seems way more efficient. The same exact output in less time with a tenth the writing... I'm sure he'll explain it to me later...

(Also, I've meant to ask but always forget....you guys ever try deleting the cache for cooliris media? ?? You may find it interesting..)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
rw is the default for remount. It is redundant to write it. It seems like you meant it doesn't have the "r" . I have always left system writable. One less thing to do lol.

Also, I forgot about the "overclock".. sorry. Don't know why I even included that. Probably because I've been trying to figure out Agats problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Yeah, I had ruled out Tegrak by uninstalling it and still had the same probs. I'm running the CM9 experimental mergeme ROM so I shouldn't be expecting any tweaks to work at all.

Whoop, my fault. I meant 'ro' not 'rw'. Good to know about rw being the default.

Here. This will replace the trigger script with a blank page effectively disabling any placebo script from here on out. Its main purpose is to retain whatever was being tested. It will not directly remove or replace any placebo.

This was defaulted after i ran the script in ROM toolbox scripter (only way I could get the script to work)and I haven't had any freeze yet.. and running very fast and smooth.

I am booting without issue. Did you run the starter from Rom Toolbox ? That's actually a good way as well. Or you could add the starter script to xbin and then in terminal

PLACEBO

Or from root explorer, script manager is also good. If you have Rom toolbox pro you can make a widget and just one click inti different placebos depending on what you need. Script manager also can make script w!idgets.

Here is script manager in the play store

Lmao well the script has to be in the right directory. How did you run it from rom toolbox without the scripts being in the init.d/phake folder.

I promise I set it up like that for good reason, It makes more sense overall because its easier to control if something goes wrong, and this way I can avoid overwriting sonebodies own sysctl.conf. sorry man.

Try script manager. It has a root browser also so you can move things around and stuff. Its a good free app.

Edit: Here, now you dont have to be alone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I don't use Quadrant that much, hear that it's not a perfect benchmark and all... but to really create a comparison, wouldn't both users have to be running the same exact setup (like from a fresh install, no apps, no email... naked as the day it was born ;))?

Plus, I've always said that these E4GT phones are so finicky, there are no 2 phones that perform alike. It's wierd. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yeah, my main point was that with 30 seconds and a click I was able to tune down and replicate his score

So... If he wanted to get a higher/better performance it will only cost a few seconds and a little time off of battery life.

I agree that quadrant isnt the way to go, but it is what most people relate to.

ChainFire Bench.... Now that I cant get to budge more than a couple of points.... Ever.

I believe it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
All jokes aside, if yours are down there AND you think it feels and looks the same Id be willing to bet its not running on boot. Not only should your phone be faster, it should also look differnt and even feel different..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
I've also been running your MiniTd version since you posted it. I'm not a man who cares about quadrant scores but I figured I'd share just for the people who do. I'm not going to go through the hassle of a screenshot bit I'm getting 3300-3500 consistently. The animations make everything seem snappier and everything is snappier as farm as I'm concerned. I don't think I could go for the crazy wild animations because these ones are great as is. I will say that while playing Reckless Racing I did get stutters to start out with but they seem to have ironed themselves out.

I'm a big supporter of these tweaks and would recommend them to anyone. There, there's some feedback for ya. :p

Bad lag,

Bad responsivene,

Bad scrolling....

Or a copy of my current to compare?

Yeah it was having some hiccups while I played. This was maybe half an hour after I flashed the zip. It did it for maybe 10 minutes and then stopped.

I'm not very knowledgeable about all of this stuff but one observation I did make was that battery during games drains SUPER fast. Not sure if these tweaks are meant to help gaming at all, that's just my two cents. Besides that, everything is butter smooth for me.

Seems like there's a lot of mixed experiences with these things?

An easy to modify script to setup your freq/volt table and it is preset to safe overclock at 1.475 with appropriate voltages. It has several steps in between 1.0 and 1.475. I think it is a reasonable and safe OC for whoever wants it.

Idk for sure that works on other phones...so let me know if it doesn't.

non flashable.

Set up to use with root explorer or the like.
