I'm more of an old-school "hand-coder", I hate those CMS like joomla or wordpress, nothing's like a good old hand-written sheet of code, with nice human comments and organized blocks è_é (even though I can't say I've never used those to make websites for clients^^ true that it makes things faster)

I just need to find some time to do it, maintaining Paranoid Android for the 6 devices I strive to maintain + working on PmR already takes most of the time I can devote to development :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glad you like it, thanks for your feedback =)

Maybe I'll implement a dpi changer in the future, although I'm not sure it's a good thing. Messing-up with the build.prop dpi always causes trouble, like showing a lot of incompatible apps in the market or even worse for users who don't know what they're doing.

The only safe and good way to control dpi is to use PA ;)

However, if you want to give this a try you can modify the value of this line in your /system/build.prop and reboot :

ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX

Setting XXX higher will make everything (including text) bigger, with a higher density. Be careful with this though, increase it little by little until you get the expected result

After you get this expected result, clear playstore cache and data in Settings/Apps and reboot

Hi, tried on my Samsung SCH-I500 Verizon,,, installed find,,, tweaked stuff fine,,,

My problem:: after my 1st round of tweaks I noticed my 3g/signal was indicating 'R' ... I would assume for roaming,,, cause I've never seen it before in the 2+ years I've owned this phone...

But I know I had no 3g access

I tried to systematically go about unchecking tweaks and rebooting...

I eventuality had undone all checks and rebooted,,,

,,,I even tried no Wi-Fi,,, only 3g,,

But signal strength stayed at about 120 where normally I'd be 95-97 and even tried toggling airplane mode,,,

But nothing,, never came out of roaming mode...

I had to restore build prop,,,

Here are the settings from the build prop:::

##Pimp my Rom : 3G Signal & Speed Tweaks

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

### Pimp my Rom : Allow Dalvik to use JIT Compiler

### Pimp my Rom : Wifi connect speed tweak

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] musvi:
1st of all thanks for this .apk, but after installing the selected mods my init.d folder looks like this -

there are 2 init.d scripts present along with that S99_pimp_rom.sh script which contains all other mods, so would this looks Ok? Or do I need app like script manager to run that S99_pimp_rom.sh ?

Waiting for the clarification

Thanks in advance...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nokiagye:
if anyone can make cm for the unsupported devises would be perfect
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
This is perfectly normal, PmR now creates one big init.d script (the S99Pimp_my_Rom.sh script you see in your init.d) instead of creating one script for each tweak that implies init.d. The two other scripts are from your rom.

The principle of init.d is to run scripts automatically at each boot, so you won't need script manager or any other app, don't worry.

The .sh extension is there by security to ensure the script is being executed as I currently have a small bug with the shell header of the script, which in certain conditions can be overwritten.

Try not to use the Signal tweaks next time, or delete those lines :

##Pimp my Rom : 3G Signal & Speed Tweaks
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

But bro that script appears as a mere notepad file(icon) and not like other 2 init.d script icon wise..... So r u sure those mods within that scrip working?

I tried PmR apk again today, after installing init.d and rebooting I get Bootloop

and after restoring backup i seem to have lost the logcat...

Sorry,

I'm going to use the aroma installer for now...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Yup I'm sure... However the experience showed me that in some kernels on some devices, the init.rc file prevents all the init.d scripts from being executed. A simple way to know is to open an init.d script that was included in your rom and enter the following line at the end (this is an example) :

echo 'init.d is working' > /sdcard/INIT_TEST.txt

Save the file and reboot.

Now open your file explorer and navigate to /sdcard : if you see a file called TEST_INIT.txt with "init.d is working" written in it, then your init procedure is working properly.

Otherwise, you can work around this by using script manager to run all the scripts in init.d with the "root" and "boot" options.

The init.rc file can't be edited by the app, the only way to modify it is to unpack the kernel, modify init.rc and repack it.

Anyway this makes me think maybe I'm going to add a similar "run script on boot" option in the near future, this way init.d support won't even be needed.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Then your init.d scripts are not executed at boot, download script manager and set all the files in system/etc/init.d to run as root and at boot. This will replace the need of (actual) init.d support.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Reflashing your rom (no need to wipe data) will erase all the changes made by the app, if ever something goes wrong.

A section will soon be added that will allow to remove tweaks one by one or all at once

Thanks for the feedback, could you please post a screenshot of the display problem ? I only have high density devices to test on.

Also, the app isn't supposed to list your governors, it simply offers tweaks for the most common ones, just select those included in your kernel.

This project is pretty badass! I have yet to install this on my phone, as currently i am happy with my tweaks, but after reading the change log for the apk version, i may have to reconsider. Everything is very organized and with a size an apk size of 0.5mb you cant beat it. Phenomenal work :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b1ggjoe:
Incredible Work!!! A few quick questions...

First off, this is incredible work...THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! YOU ARE BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I first started using the Aroma installer a few weeks ago. Then I went to this website today and downloaded the Preview Alpha 1. Then after visiting your personal website, I downloaded Preview Alpha 2.

Here are my quick questions:

1. - What is the difference between Alpha 1 vs. Alpha 2?

2. - So far, I have NO PROBLEMS at all for the most part with Alpha 1 (I haven't tried Alpha 2 just yet). However, what I noticed is that under the category: 'Multitasking'...After I set 'OOM Groupings' to High and 'Minfree Values' to Medium and etc., after I select 'Apply Selected Tweaks' and reboot...it looks like the settings are NOT kept.

Also, under the category: 'Enable/Disable Features'...after enabling a few items (i.e., Hardware Acceleration or Force GPU Rendering)...after I reboot, when I go back into that Menu...those items are back to 'Off' instead of 'On'.

Just curious if that is a bug on those two categories or is it working as designed'.

Also, I notice that when flashing the 'Beats.zip' from Recovery (TWRP), I get a boot-loop. Can I just extract the .apk from those recovery zips and install as normal .apks?

Thank you!!

BJ

:cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Thanks for your feedback :good:

To answer you point by point :

The only changes between preview 1 & 2 is that the app now works with gingerbread (previously didn't in preview 1) and that I fixed fc's when clicking the info icons. (The changelog in the first post of this thread is always updated when a new version is released)

Those two matters are known issues, I'm a beginner in java and I currently couldn't manage to make the toggles and radiobuttons state be kept in memory, atm only the checkboxes states are saved. However, the tweaks are still applied and stay applied, only the buttons/toggles are reset. I am working on understanding how to fix that.

The apps & mods section isn't a priority atm, and I'm not the author of most apps/mods included in this section. Therefore, I won't be able to fix issues related with those options for the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b1ggjoe:
Excellent!! Thank you so much!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sjsharksfan420:
So I was wondering if you are able to figure out how to get all selections to "stick" and display after reboot, would that also make it so if you already have certain tweaks applied, it would display those choices as selected when PmR app is launched?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pelikan3:
Am I doing this right? Is this a good fit for everything I have going on?

Please excuse the seeming lack of research before asking, but, I come across many conflicting answers and hoped going straight to the source would provide clarity...

First...

I am running AOKP Milestone 1, AND Franco Kernel Milestone 6 (stable), AND Juice Defender. I know it is designed to work with any AOSP based ROM, but, Is "Pimp My ROM" overkill, in my case?

Second... From what I have read, it's recommended that you DON'T add all the tweaks, and I did listen. BUT, everything that said tweaked, improved, optimized, etc. Especially as it pertained to smoothness, speed, and battery life, I did choose. I did NOT choose anything that said "Improves this thing, at the expense of that thing", if that makes sense. Nothing that made speed better at the expense of data integrity, or stability. Long and the short of it though, I said "yes" to a LOT of stuff and I'm not sure how much better that was than choosing "select all tweaks". I am also not sure how much overlap there is between the stated tweaks of PMR, and whatever is integrated into AOKP and Franco Kernel.

Third... I'm honestly not sure if I am seeing a benefit yet, or if I will, based upon what I already have running. My battery life seems way down (at least 10-20% per hour vs 5-10% per hour without), and my deep sleep functions (I chose the deeper sleep options that improve battery life) haven't done anything, but I have been unable to wake my device, and had to pop the battery twice.

So... are there tweaks that are ideal for AOKP? Are there tweaks that work well with AOKP PLUS Franco Kernel? Am I better off trying PMR with a rooted stock ROM? Or, perhaps just AOKP without Franco?

Thanks for your time!

You say this should work on ANY ROM... does that include stock ROMs that are rooted with a custom recovery?

Patch 2

PATCH n°2​

Left a typo in last patch so it wouldn't start properly (error in cwm), here is the working version of the patch :

XHDPI : http://d-h.st/ePn

HDPI : http://d-h.st/5xt

MDPI : http://d-h.st/hgc

LDPI : http://d-h.st/HTv

Here is how to apply this patch :

Open pimp my rom's zip (i.e : XHDPI-PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.5.1-by-Androguide.fr.zip)

Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android and delete the file called "aroma-config"

Now take the downloaded patch (which is also called "aroma-config") and copy it in PmR's zip, at the place of the other one that u deleted

Close the zip and flash it

That's it, those installation errors should be gone.

I delayed Lite version release to include this fix, will be available soon today anyway. And of course will be included in tomorrow's update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, you can simply reflash it. Build.prop tweaks that have been selected twice will be written twice in build.prop though, but this doesn't cause any issue anyway.
