[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
NOTES:

- For ROOT USER only

- I think this procedure has similar effects done by an app named Mr. Nice Guy (PAID). But this procedure should give you more fine tuning the process priority. You can even change priority to the system processes. It's safe and not bricking your phone.

To anyone who loves playing with quadrant/benchmark scores, have you guys tried tweaking/adjusting the processes/apps priorities and then do the tests?

This procedure may help in some aspect as I spent some times trying it but just to make my SGNote run as smoothest UI as possible (transitions, popups, etc.). Yet I've not tested this with any benchmarks but however it "may" help on your using aspects.

1. Install Script Manager (free from Play Store).

2. Create an Unix script file. Name it whatever you like and save it on your SGNote. You may do this on Windows using Notepad+ and save as Unix script file (*.sh) and then copy to your SGNote.

3. Pre-notes for script:

- The "#" (followed by some message) is just remark in Linux command. You can delete or leave it like that with no effect in script running.

- The "renice" is a command to change priority of RUNNING specified process.

- The digit nice value (no decimal) for priority assignment ranges from lowest 20 to highest -20. You may try change it to any of your needs.

4. Open your saved *.sh file and put something like this,

#!/system/bin/sh

renice -16 $(pidof app_process) # All apps or games you ran before running this script will be changed their priorities to the assigned nice number

# I increase priority for some VIP process IMO

# I set priority for system process to ensure that none of them having the priority value higher than any apps I am running but this may not good for your using behavior. Note that some process is set to highest priority (-20) when I boot my phone (ROM CleaNote 4.0 + Wifi fixed & Kernel NoteCore v9 STD when I wrote this). Change their priority may give better or worse results but worth to try.

===== DO NOT PUT THIS LINE IN YOUR *.sh file * Please mind a blank line just above this line =====

5. In Script Manager on your SGNote,

- Add the *.sh file to your favorite list by search the file and tap it.

- Select to highlight icons of Fav, Su. You may select Boot if require it to run on every boot.

- Tap Save.

- You can tap Run to run the script, tap Edit if you need to change something in the *.sh

- You can add Script Manager Widget to link with the *.sh file for your convenience.

- Remember that running this script only effects the running process. Android system may kill them anytime anyhow especially your apps installed by yourself. The apps or processes killed by android system may re-start themself anytime anyhow as well. So, you may need to run this script from time to time or after calling an app and you need to prioritize it. Having on screen widget would make your life easier.

With all the values above and the Settings > Developer options > Window animation scale & Transition animation scale set to 1.5x, it gives real butter smooth transition effects in apps like Flipboard.
