Back from holidays

Hi guys, I was away from home the past week, no computer nor internet. Sorry for the lack of support during this period.

I'm aware of this issue, it will be fixed in the next update as the whole Apps & Mods section is getting a makeover.

You can manually fix that problem by grabbing the following files from your rom's zip package and placing them at the corresponding locations on your device, then fix permissions in recovery :

- /system/lib/libaudioeffect_jni.so

- /system/etc/audio_effects.conf

Thanks alot for the reply! But how do i extract them from my rom? I'm using samsung Stock rom and the one i downloaded only contains a md5 file, unless i'm missing something here.

EDIT: Managed to extract them. For those wanting to know follow theese steps.

When downloading an image youll end up with a .tar.md5 file most likely that contains the rom files. (atleast what i did)

1) Extract the big file(s) using Winrar,7zip or another .tar extractor.

2) Download sgs2toext4.jar here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662184 (Not sure if it only works on samsung devices since it's a made for samsung devices) another option is unyaffs which i don't know hot to use, sorry!

3) Download ext2read (ext2explore) http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/

4) put them all in the same folder (for convinience)

5) Open sgs2toext4.jar and drag and drop the .img file you want to extract from in the program window

6) after the program has created a <filename>.ext4 open it in ext2read (ext2explore)

7) extract the files you want

8) put them into on your phone

EDIT: SUCCESS!! Thank you so much! Was prepared for a long day reinstalling the phone with all apps and settings.

Any recovery-flashable custom rom for your device will do, just download a cm build or any other custom rom and extract those files from the zip package's /system folder

Something is not good in this app :(

For example the tweak about external sd card bring the cache from 128Kb to 4096Kb, a value too high that cause bad problems for example during video playback you can observe lags.

I didn't know this until I installed from the market the app sd booster, when I could see 4096kb in a red warning text, then bringing back it to 1024kb you can see better performance and non more lags in video playback.

After that I decided to remove some others tweek with the command " full umpimp " but after reboot the tweaks are still there (flagged) sd external performance also; in the build.prop file I could note that !

So anyway for me the umpimp doesn't work.

All links in nbcnews.com do not work after applying pimp tweaks.

Removing all tweaks do not fix the problems.... Please fix this bug...

Please try to set the following options OFF :

- Tweaks section --> Network & Internet --> Block Redirects & Block Source-Routing

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shæl:
Some suggestions I could think of:

A small text under each build.prop tweak showing the tweak 'command'

A small text (probably in parentheses) for each build.prop related tweak showing if it is for google stock gingerbread-only; google stock ICS-only; CM7-only; CM10-only; MIUI-only; etc. So users don't have to enable tweaks that does nothing in say ICS because the particular command no longer exist, or it was for CM ROMs only.

Probably in the explanation section, mention the default value of the tweak or suggest that it is not needed say in ICS because it has a native/exposed setting already.

Hmm... I guess that's all. Looking forward to the explanations.

Btw, some possible bugs:

Previously mentioned: the app does not detect if the default ICS setting of "force gpu...." is on or off. Or probably it doesn't because the app tweak uses a different method not meant for ICS?

Enabling the SDcard tweaks (both internal and external) does not seem to do anything. The speed is at 128kb still if I check via sd booster app (it is not set to apply-on-boot, only using for detection)

I hope I did not forget something else.

Hi! Using this on Galaxy Note2 N7100 with RedPill kernel. I am wondering if the scheduler settings from PMR are interfering with the settings made by the RP kernel?

Also I would love to have better explanations for the following functions:

-Purgeable assers

-Just in Time compiler

-Hardware acceleration and GPU rendering

Do any of those settings make sense or not? I cannot even find any explanation what exactly do they do (except force GPU)?

Regards...

Galaxy Ace

Has any one used this mod on a galaxy ace s5830 ?

I'm using one with a modified version of miui jellybean by nims11.

As the ace doesnt actually have jellybean, do you think i cannot use the jellybean tweaks ?

Also i just tried it out on a vt100 tab using froyo. and chose the gb in the android version chooser and the tweaks appear to have applied(I applied all). the touchscreen appears to be amazingly responsive(and i was about to fling the damn thing out as the screen wasnt responding anymore). Wow. Feels like a whole new tab. Not bad for a 600mhz system. BTW i used version 1.5.1 on the tab. Btw aroma worked perfectly on the tab(theme was fine, Touch didnt work but i was expecting that.) not on the ace. dammit

I have been trying to download it for the past few hours, but the countdown timer for 10 seconds on the file download page always resets and starts over ad-infinitum.

Plus can someone guide me which version is applicable for my ZOPO ZP900 in the standard factory settings, I cant seem to understand whether it is XHDPI,MHDPI,LHDPI or what .?

Partial retraction of my earlier statement. Everything in this mod runs great on my sgs3 with task/ktoonsez aokp (jb) ; however with smart stay active if I happen to be doing anything with the camera when it face checks, it instantly locks and reboots.

I don't think it's your mod though, as I restored my phone to "pre-pimp" and downloaded smart stay off the market and got the same effect.

Now if you could somehow toss a tweak in there that temporarily disables smart stay while the camera/gallery is active, it would be pure bacon.

I just went ahead and reinstalled all the other goodies I'd installed before and left smart stay out. So far it's working great.

NOT WORKING FOR X10 (at least not for me)!!

THIS ONE IS ONE HELL OF A GOOD WORK (AS IT SEEMS TO ME) BUT I M UNLUCKY>>

I will second SumCanadianGuy, like him i also tried this mod on my X10 but it doesnt worked out.

v1.5.2 seems incompatible, it flickers too much plus no caliberation tools in menu options, I had downloaded HDPI version for X10.

then i downloaded v1.5 as adviced in sum post above me, same problem but this time it has caliberation tool option which i followed in the end it says to tweak android_config as given on screen and can be accsessed thru recovery log. But i cant find nothing in Show Log of CWM recovery.

I also tried tip of replacing android_config file patch in the zip didnt worked out either.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gummie:
I tried this [Addon] on my Google Nexus S and it worked all tweaks I selected are in my init.d and build.prop but I had one question. Some tweaks are just redundant, for example the minfree tweak is present on this files (05Lagfixer, 71extreme, minfree) also governor tweaks specially Ondemand on this files (ondemand, S98system_tweak) some others like netspeed, tcp buffer tweaks are all over. My concern is wont this just confuse the system what to apply like for example is the minfree all those 3 files have different values on each, I took a "cat" on "/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree" and what showed up is none of the ones on the tweaks.

Edit:

Anyway I forgot where to find the save logs.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akshay7394:
No it's not.

A simple google search with nothing but 'define' in front of those exact terms you posted explained each and every one of those tweaks. The only valid question you asked was the first one about interfering with your kernel, and that you'll have to wait for Andro to see I suppose.

For example: http://goo.gl/5lrBI

How about actually taking the effort to search instead of wasting everyone's time.

Yeah, right. If your precious time is wasted, don't bother to reply. Your reply was not helpful. I was not asking what JIT is, but if those settings make any sense with the Note2. Instead, both of your replies were implying stupidity. You guys don't realize that a low postcount in this forum does not mean anything... Btw., because I feel my time is wasted as well, I disabled most of PMR's features. The N2 is lightning fast anyways. Regards, Martux

EDIT: I read about JIT. Just wondering why did Samsung decide to disable it? Same goes for the other features.

My questions were regarding the usability on that specific device (which is faster and has more RAM than most other smartphones).

Maybe I wasn't stating that clearly in my initial posting.

Standalone version for the upcoming new Tool

Hi guys, while the new "big" update isn't completely finished already, you can already test one of the new Tools that will be included : The Entropy Generator.

I made a standalone app for this tool, as I used the binary compiled by lambgx02 in it and so I wanted to contribute to his thread as a return.

You can find more explainations, along with the actual apk, in the post where I published the app, in lambgx02's thread : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36668559&postcount=2221

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akshay7394:
Andro, wasn't there a problem involving security with the method he uses? I stumbled on Seeder [a while ago so I'm going by all the articles I've read on and off xda since then. There was something about it being unsafe to move from dev/urandom to dev/random that opened a Security hole?

Edit:

Also, in your new app there's a link to your website, but your website is still under construction? :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
There is a potentially very thin, tiny security issue that might come-up if you're using your device to encrypt files, the encryption's quality will be a bit lowered. I doubt this will ever be exploited and anyway all it would allow the attacker to do is to have less trouble with decrypting files that were encrypted from your device.

I personnallly never use android's encryption functionnalities, like most users I guess.

Keep in mind that most/all Operating Systems (except GNU/Linux environments including Android) use a non-blocking RNG device and it doesn't seem to cause any issue, so using rngd to un-block the Android's RNG device shouldn't be a problem.

Yes the PmR website is still under construction, only the Home, Blog & Contact pages are currently available.
