This is related to either Beats Audio or xLoud. To fix it, grab the following files from your rom's zip and put them at the corresponding locations :

- /system/lib/libaudioeffect_jni.so

- /system/etc/audio_effects.conf

This will be fixed soon when I'll update xLoud, Bravia 2, add ClearAudio and everything from Rizal Lovins

if there is one, it should be something like :

Couldn't create /proc//oom_adj. The file does not exist

I have a question

which version you recommended ?

apk or aroma ?

because i installed it on my xperia mini pro (aroma version) and applied the smarthassv2 tweak

but when i installed apk and opened it,it doesnt apply smartassv2. I mean the square was empty.

will it applied through aroma version ?

and second

I always play HD games on my phone will i have to use low memory killer for both OOm grouping and minfree values ?

and can i use pimp my rom with supercharger v6 ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
I highly recommend using the apk version over the aroma.

Maybe there was a bug with this particular tweak at the time you tried the app, but I can confirm it now sticks properly.

The OOM groupings/Minfrees have pretty much nothing to do with gaming, it's all about multitasking.

So unless you have a popup video player + a browser playing a flash video + listening to google music while playing an HD game at the same time, your OOMs/Minfrees don't need to be set higher.

I recommend you check out the 3rd post of this thread to get a better understanding of the Multitasking section's tweaks ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eddydc1:
why not aroma versions anymore ? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
- Because I can do much more with java than I could ever have done with aroma/edify-scripting,

- Because I love learning java and android development,

- Because it's so much easier for everyone (no files to replace, no random freezes, a lot friendlier UI, OTA updates, no 6 different versions for each screen-size and different aroma support, no need to go to recovery, not limited by the amount of devices supported by aroma, etc...)

- Because creating android apps could help me find a job

- Because writing aroma scripts is pretty boring

And I could give you a hundred more reasons...

(Don't get me wrong, Aroma is a truly awesome tool, and amarullz did a wonderful job with this, but an apk simply can do a lot more)

Just want to say that you can add HTC evo shift to the confirmed working list. Some of us have been trying this out over the last few weeks and love it. Only a couple minor issues reported. CPU settings not starting on boot and I had distorted video after using camera quality tweaks. Other than that this is an amazing app and we appreciate the work.

Andro, I think I was just making a mistake :) something must have killed the app in the background the first time i tried it, because all my apps are locking in memory just fine, now. :) Thanks anyway, and sorry for the confusion! :D

Hope you're having (or had) a very merry christmas :D

Locking Apps In Memory

how can check if it really worked?

(like it is adding lines of txt somewhere? )

will it be sticky after a reboot?

ne number/size limit?

edit: yep, it ads a line in system/etc

yep, it's sticky//
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Currently, the /system/etc/init.d lines to lock apps are not effective, it won't stick after a reboot, but it will soon as I found a build.prop way to make it stick.

You can verify if it works by doing the following (but basically, the app does that for you and displays the result in a toast) :

- find the package name of the app you locked in memory (i.e com.androguide.pimp.my.rom for PmR)

- open a terminal emulator and type this :

pidof com.the.package.name.of.the.app.you.locked

this will return a number, write it down

- open a file explorer, and navigate to /proc/XX/oom_adj (where XX is the number you wrote down in the previous step), open oom_adj as text file, if inside this file it's written "-17" then it's locked until next reboot ;)

No problem mate, glad you sorted it out.

I personally prefer to hear there's no problem rather than having to fix something :p

Merry christmas to all you guys too !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hisname:
but aroma version has Sony Music Player and adrenaline engine, so maybe the aroma script is still better than the APK;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SubwayJrd:
That would be an exceedingly limited scope of "better" then. The apk smokes the aroma script in most every way :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hisname:
so we should use both of them side by side, to maximize the full potential of these tweals
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] syllogyking:
Do what you want. Andro's already explained his stance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] masoudr:
So you mean using both aroma and apk version together ?

when i install aroma version and apply some tweaks,after that when i install apk version it cant realize that I have installed some tweaks already.

and what is lock apps in memory or launcher ?

you said that it wont redraw home again.

what is it benefits or in apps ?

and which system apps must be locked in memory ?

and i think the tweaks in aroma was a little more than apk version.

and the cpu control in my mini pro doesnt work properly , I mean i can set parameters but after reboot (also if checking "set on boot") it doesnt work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hisname:
well, whether using aroma or apk is in your own opinion. well, in my opinion using both of together can maximize the benefits. lock apps in memory means the apps that u choose won't be killed by OOM. these tweaks are like experiments, try them out your self to find out what works best for u . just like humans, no 2 humans are the same. phones are also like that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] masoudr:
I get that but is lock launcher in memory useful ?

and is something missing in apk version ? (I know that some apps like walkman beats and etc)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hisname:
well lock launcher memory have something got to do with redraws or something.... can't remember much

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
As I answered to the guy you quoted (and he reported it works) you can fix this issue by grabbing those files from your rom's zip and putting them to the corresponding locations on your device :

- /system/lib/libaudioeffect_jni.so

- /system/etc/audio_effects.conf

(if you still have a problem, go to recovery and fix permissions)

This will be fixed soon, when I update Beats Audio to a gb-compatible version, and add all the awesomeness from Rizal Lovins such as the new xLoud engine, Bravia engine 2, ClearAudio, Sony Video Player, etc...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] weazie:
Hi Androguide,

Which files get modified by the app? I'm trying to make a backup of them before applying anything.

Are these some of them, and are there some others?

system/build.prop

system/xbin/sysctl

etc/init.d/ - script.

Cheers,

weazie
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Basically here are the files that are modified :

- /system/build.prop

- /system/etc/sysctl.conf

- /system/etc/gps.conf (if you use the gps configuration tool)

- /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (if you install init.d support through the app)

- /system/media/bootanimation.zip (if you use the dual boot-animation tool)

/system/etc/init.d isn't modified, as the 99Pimp_my_Rom script and all the extra scripts used by PmR are created by the app, they're not present on your system before.

worth installing on cm10 stable? since it is fast and battery life is good i dont know if it can go better... anyone tried it on cm10? galaxy i9000
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
You can try the build.prop way of locking apps in memory : (discovered this one recently, will soon be added to the app)

sys.keep_app_1=com.package.name.of.desired.locked.app

Here's an example, let's say you want to lock PmR :

sys.keep_app_1=com.androguide.pimp.my.rom

and reboot.

Not sure if it works with ics and up, gotta make some testing
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Demianis:
Merci Beaucoup, will try this next time. But never mind, never had other problems with pmr. The sound problem with jelly bean and power amp is quite strange even with different latencies, but i heard that the developer is working on a new version.

Thank you for this info. But, I noticed I don't have sysctl.conf at all. I created it into the system/etc folder and gave it permissions to r/w, but nothing was written into it by PMR. I just thought to let you know.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akshay7394:
it works, but you also have to note: For each additional app, the app_x changes.

Meaning, like this:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] opz187:
Andro, I remember when I first stumbled upon this thread, way back when it was aroma 1.5.3. The init.d scripts weren't numbered and there were tons of duplicates.. Now you have it all nice and organized in an apk thats available on gplay, you have you're own dedicated PMR website, and this is one of the best known tweak apps around. Can't wait to see what the future holds for PMR. Its come a long way
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EasyToRememberUsername:
3.3.1 from the market.

Running Razr, possibly incompatible aspects. In particular, it seems the build.prop edits aren't functioning correctly.

Ongoing ...

build.prop changes are placed on the bottom of my razr's file, without commenting out the original entires, so duplicates are present.

The Rescue package does not remove build.prop entries made by PmM on the Droid Razr. Not sure what bit of software is to blame for that. I don't know enough about these things to draw conclusions.

In most cases, it's reasonably safe to change values altered ROMs when using tools like these. They often limit the maximum and minimum entries to a realistic entry, so one won't have settings made searching for Wifi every .005 seconds (which would be a huge waste). In addition, tools like PmP and Rom Toolbox can reduce mistakes made by human error. The manual editing of files is more prone to human error, especially for non-developers. Despite these tools, you should always be aware of what you will changing, and the realistic values for that property.

You should make a nandroid backup and/or backup your mod's original build.prop and init.d files. If you haven't yet, you should also install the "Rescue Package" which is the first item under "Tools". Rescue Package gives you the option to undo all changes made by PmR.

Best Luck.

black screen during calls

Ever since I installed a few tweaks with pimp my Rom my screen got black after I place a call and it won't come back on. I can't hang up our kies the touch pad to input numbers on a menu. It doesn't matter what Rom I'm on. Our I'm on stock touch wiz jelly bean then the only what did me to hang up is to hold down the power button until the phone turns off. On CM 10.1 and akop 4.2 I have to hit the power button a few times and wait about 5 second and then the screen will turn on. Ummm using a att galaxy s3. Please anyone help.

**EDIT**so after going to stock TW JB and 're installing busy box and pmr. The proximity sensor seems to work just fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
It is safe for any build.prop tweak that's already there before you Pimp your Rom, as the app will erase any previous value before writing the ones you defined/applied in the app.

As for the init.d scripts, it actually is safe too, here is why.

There is no way I can really check for existing scripts portions from init.d scripts, as their names can be anything (well, it is actually do-able but would be a pain in the ass to code).

So I simply take advantage of the init scripts execution order function, so that if any other script modifies some of the same values as PmR, its values will be overwritten by PmR's script as it's the last script to be executed in your system's init procedure (therefore stands the 99prefix).

The only flaw with this method is that if another script targets some of the same parameters but with different values, and that this script has the "99" prefix too, I don't know which one will apply.

I recommend you check for already existing /system/etc/init.d/99xxx script and rename it to 98xxx before starting to Pimp your Rom.

There is no way you can have build.prop duplicates using the apk version of PmR. Yes the new values are added to the end of the file, but previous values are erased before the new are added, you can verify.

Judging from the second part of your post, if the Rescue package doesn't remove your build.prop entries and that you get build.prop duplicates, then the only reason I see is that you don't have busybox's "sed" applet installed.

I recommend you download Busybox by Stericsson from google play (free) and install all applets, or at least the following ones which are required for PmR to do its job properly on any device :

- sed

- rm

- echo

- chmod

- mount

- grep

- renice

- awk

- cat

- cp

- wget

Can it change the navbar options? like make transparent background and change softkeys colors/style ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Nope, this requires pre-compiling modifications to the android framework (or smali code editing if you wanna do it post-compiling, the hard way), but either way this can't be done by an app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hisname:
hmmm.... just a question though. how does ROM toolbox does it if it cannot be done by a app? :confused:i know it only allows us to change certain stuff in the Navbar, like wallpapers in Navbar and icons
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
By simply replacing your systemui.apk with a modded one, but it'll never provide the navbar controls you can find on most roms, like adding buttons, on-the-fly color changing, glow color changing, long press actions, etc...

Plus doing this might break some navbar controls found in your rom settings, if those settings rely on changes made inside your rom's systemui.apk

Here's an example of the frameworks modifications required : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28173/

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Try to set the Adblock off and reboot. If you still can't access it or if you didn't have the adlock activated in the first place, then it's probably the "block redirects" and/or "block source-routing" tweaks in the network section, so tick them and hit the "remove selected tweaks" button, then reboot.
