Fixed so log folder appears??

Idk, im gonna post it before I test it... You know, the right way...

PlaceboBlack (log fixed )

LOL yeah the folder appeared....

http://db.tt/crYuhsfr

Heres one that makes one you can actualy read though.. Perms were wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Haven't tried yours yet but I am getting a log file, gear01.log so it looks like its working just fine with the log folder there now. ;)

Fyi, can't see the files in log folder with Rom Toolbox root explorer, they must be hidden files or something (didn't bother checking). They do show up using ES File Explorer though with all the proper settings checked for root browsing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Permissions were wrong.

That last is for sure all good.

I should sleep BEFORE doing the zip...

Lmao
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmocherman:
Just got brave enough to try a few of these today. I'm on Goodness rom with Agat's 4.4 kernel.

Here are my questions:

1. I flashed Placebo (Pi) and ran it first through terminal emulator. Then decided to try diet pill. Do I need to remove Pi first? Or does flashing dietpill over Pi do the trick?

2. If I flash a new kernel, do I need to reflash my Placebo or Dietpill?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I was wondering about that when I couldn't view the log files or the placeholder (temporary) file I put there just so the log folder could get created. Glad you figured it out. I don't mess with the permissions often enough to remember all of the settings without looking them up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Youll probably want to remove it first. ( pi was another double action, right? )

Its not a huge deal if you dont, ftmp the worst that could happen is one would override the other.

And a kernel flash shouldnt remove placebo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmocherman:
Ok, what is the best method to remove?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, removed the log folder (so that the new one would have correct permissions) and reflashed updated placeboblack again. System/etc/Log/Gear01.log is working fine but nothing saving to Gear02.log. Is that ok?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
A little info about PlaceboBlack..

There are currently two optional settings, Gears01, and 02

01 is enabled by default, for now they both set governor to Ondemand, but with very different settings.

Gear01 is more performance oriented, 2 is more battery oriented.

They will both create a log in "/etc/log". This is for two reasons; debugging if necessary... But mostly

So you can have a look at whats being done.

No cryptic BS. Just setting=value. It may answer a lot of your questions.

Gear two will remain disabled by default..

It is completely optional. To switch between them,

In terminal emulator, if you type

su

Black2

Black2=

{

Gear02 - ON (and run it/log it)

Gear01 - OFF (changes its perms to 0644)

}

and vice versa if you type

su

Black

Black=

{

Gear1-ON (logged, run, enabled for boot)

Gear2-OFF

}

Gear01 is 0.05-1.1Ghz

Gear02 is 0.025-0.8Ghz

Both are fast as crap imho, ive been rockin gear2 all morning lol

I plan on adding more files for different governors/situations in general... Eventually. Lol

Enjoy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
@phaker.. The black edition is awesome! Smooth and the best sleep I've seen in a loooong time. First 1.5hrs on Black, second 1hr 14 min. on Black 2. You've really done something great with this one.. maybe some of the init'd files that came with the ROM was interfering with your prior editions... Thanks!

@BC, You just like the name :p

Theres no reason this wouldnt work.

Especially Gear1. It ahould work fine on JB. It may get some sysctl shortwrites,

IN THAT CASE CHANGE THE COMMAND TO

sysctl -n -p /name/of/file

That will make it ignore the errors and apply what it can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I cant take credit for all of that part ;)

I left the cpu sleep script that was already in Black in.

I'm doing my best to keep up with this thread (wow! a lot to sort through!). I can't seem to find a definitive way to undo the placebo tweaks. I've run Pi, P h12 and DietPill RC1. I'm afraid that all of these may be interferring with one another. I'm assuming we need to undo one set of tweaks before applying another?? If so, how do we go about doing that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Gimme a minute and Ill put something together.

Or you could remove it from the /etc/init.d folder yourself with a root browser or termimal emulater, both.are.free

I will be adding the BlueKuban stock tweaks to the list as well. Please let me know if a ROM needs to be added to the list. Thanks - TD

Edit: Post updated to Removal Tool Rev2.0.

Added Blue.Kuban.v.1.0.4.5.Stock.Tweaks. Please read the entire post. This will remove all known (hopefully, there have been quite a few), placebo tweaks and revert your rom (tweaks only) to a stock build. After flashing removal tool, flash the tweak set for your rom. If your rom isn't listed please contact me to get it added.

if no joy ,, it deletes them.
