That page in the installer is for tweaks that I consider to be generally safe and generally effective. There are no miracle workers on that page (except maybe the AGPS patch), but they're generally safe to activate together.

The first one makes sure all apk's on the phone are zipaligned at every boot. zipalignign is described here. Basically, it makes sure that files within the apk are stored in a particular way to reduce the memory footprint of the app when running. Most apks should be zipaligned already, this just makes sure of that, and it only executes processing against an apk when it isn't zipaligned already.

The second one vacuums and reindexes SQLite databases on every boot. The standard method that Android apps use to store data are SQLite databases. SQLite doesn't do a good job of maintaining databases for peak efficiency on it's own. It's designed to be lite and quick, and that's a sacrifice they made to achieve that. That option vacuums (reduces the database size by getting rid of stale or unused data) and reindexes (rebuilds the indexes that allows SQLite to find the data it's looking for quickly) for every SQLite database on the phone at every boot.

Those options should not add to the boot time. They may make the phone a little sluggish for a minute or so right after boot while they're processing, but it shouldn't stand out from the normal boot processing. After the first time they're run (on the first boot), they should take less than a minute to finish, combined, unless you have an exceptionally large number of apps on your phone. You can think of both of them as a type of preventative maintenance...they should keep your performance from degrading as quickly.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
OP updated. Aroma gets some new options, and the whole thing has been rebuilt with Linaro 12.11. A full wipe is recommended this time.

Edit: Forgot to mention this one in changelog or here, but this also changes the charge light behavior so that it does not turn green until 98%.
[HTC Rezound] Jwezesa:
Downloading now. Thanks! This has been the best ROM I've used on my rezound!
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I found a pretty serious bug, probably not specific to this ROM though (there's no CM9 bug report thread):

Enable a pin or pattern lock screen. When the device is unlocked, turn to landscape orientation and then disable changing orientation so that it stays in landscape mode. Lock the phone and turn it back to the lock screen. Choose "Emergency Dialer" and no dial-pad will show up; instead it will tell you to use the keyboard to dial, of which the Rezound does not have one. This is pretty serious because it could prevent someone from using your phone to dial 911.

edit: this is CounterShrike 2.3a
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Have you tried tapping on the "Use keyboard to dial" line? I just replicated this in PAC-Man, and while the keyboard doesn't open automatically, tapping on the line opened the number entry keyboard and it accepted input.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
ok, so i dont really care about boot time at all, so which ones out of those 3 should i keep cked or unchecked for max performance, and fps?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
For best performance, everything on that page. Just be aware with fsync disabled that you have a slight risk of data corruption if your phone reboots or loses power without shutting down properly. If you want the best performance with the least risk of data loss, leave that page at the default.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
pure preformance.... and i know about f sync... lol funky is always stable on my device, so i pretty much always disable it.... so for pure preformance, shoul i leave the other 3 checked or uncheck?

btw if you get MHL and HDMI to work on this rom, i will personally find you and hug you! lol its one major feature i really miss about sense roms... that and slow motion recording, and 1080 video resolution.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Checked. The AGPS patch only does anything when an app is requesting location. The other two do their work at boot time and make sure all the apk's and databases are optimized as well as possible.
[HTC Rezound] jrgthird:
Does Bluetooth Calling work on this ROM?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Nope. It's running under the same limitations as the other AOSP ICS, which is currently no BT calling and no MHL.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
what settings should be checked in the performance tab for max performance and smoothness also should i check gpu rendering for performance too?
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
yes that does seem to work
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
what settings should be checked in the performance tab for max performance and smoothness also should i check gpu rendering for performance too? still kinda need an answer to that pls?

also MAJOR Props Shrike!!!! ive never had ANY rom on my phone that is as smooth as this one..... Ive NEVER been able to clock to 1ghz and still have a live wallpaper and still not have lag! like im really blown away!

thanks so much man!
[HTC Rezound] :
Leave it the performance options the way it is, how many times are you going to ask the same question?? I see your name posting about the same subject in like every thread!!
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
lol
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
because my phone is really f'ed up since its refurbished and lag on EVErY rom ive flashed excluding this one, and so i want to make it so theres NO chance that it will lag and slowly start decreasing in performance... like all the other roms do....
[HTC Rezound] :
If your phone lags on stock, then it will lag for every rom you try.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
if you know your phone is f'ed up, chances that a rom is gonna fix your broken phone are pretty slim.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
which is y this rom is so awesome! like im not kidding that its not lagging at all.... im am really in awe.... anyway... can i get an answer for that question on how to set it for max preformance. also whats a good clock widget thats plain and simple?
[HTC Rezound] :
1512 mhz is 1512 mhz no matter what governor/set up you use. CPU ramps up and down when needed if the governor is set up correctly.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
CPU setup is really a personal thing since there are so many variables in individual use, but FWIW, I use 384-1512 on intellidemand w/ an extra -50mV undervolt. If you have a lot of screen off time, you might want to look at wheatley for battery savings. If you have a bunch of screen on time, lazy might be preferable. intellidemand seems fairly balanced, and it's stable as long as you increase your minimum a notch. It's going to be hard to get more responsive than ondemand, but ondemand is not the best on battery.

Again though, this is more of a personal preference thing. I don't game much on my phone, and when I do, it's not anything graphics heavy, so I really can't comment on how different settings respond in that scenario.
[HTC Rezound] Clancya:
Thanks, I was looking for this. Great ROM. Sticking with this until JellyBean comes along. Can you tell me why I get a green tint on the JB camera screen when autofocus and when the preview moves to the gallery? It doesn't affect quality. I had it on 2.3 and now 2.4, both clean flashed.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
It's very likely related to the app doing things that with the display that aren't quite supported the same way in ICS vs JB. I've heard other reports of it as well. I'm not sure it's something that can be fixed, or worth it if it can be. With it not affecting the final image, I'm inclined to leave well enough alone, since even having it in the first place is a hack.
[HTC Rezound] ChrisFa5:
Just wanted to say thanks again for a great ROM. For me this has been far and away the best AOSP ROM I have used, it's stable, fast, and customization is great. Thanks Strike. :)
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I smell the unmistakable scent of a big update in the works. Biggest thing I've done since adding Aroma.
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
haha you can't just say that and not give us a little hint...;)
[HTC Rezound] miatamx:
Yea Yea
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Ah details...the devil is in the details. ;)

Well, a complete restructuring of the installer is in the works, single zip installation, and something special for the potential global users.
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Nice. I'm ready for some PAC-Man! Chad is a beast so I know it won't be that much longer. Can we open a present early this year?;)
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
im getting little lags and chops here and there... mostly on the launcher portion, but nothing big... any ideas what to do to fix this?
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
To make your launcher smooth as possible you can: disable wallpaper scrolling, don't use live wallpaper. Nova and Apex also have options to speed up the scrolling time between screens and pages in the app drawer.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
lag as in i wasent getting it when i first flashed the rom. task managers dont say anything abnormal resources are being used.
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Dude...every time I see your posts I just wanna slap somebody. You have a ****ty phone man...enough said. Buy another one if you can't handle the heat/lag and all the other problems you have lol I'm sorry but it's true.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
:/ well F*$k me then...

im done with this s&1t...

just ignore everything i said....

Mod, you can delete all my posts in this thread please.
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
Dude, there have been plenty of members here that are willing/have run through a lot of troubleshooting with you. You've tried every ROM on this forum and it seems as though they all cause you slowdown/lag. By process of elimination, I'll go with one of two things: you're incredibly sensitive to lag and no Rezound ROM is going to satisfy you because there's going to be small lags here and there.. this is normal and should in no way affect the overall user experience.

OR

Your phone is jacked up and you should call Verizon ASAP
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Try a different launcher and play with the desktop settings. Disable wallpaper scrolling if you have it enabled, change your governor to lagfree, change your frequency minimum to 384, Disable dithering, allow purging of assets, enable 16 bit transparency, and disable all window and transition animations in developer options. Remove any unnecessary apps that you may have that are never in use to free system space, up your min memory from 80 to 100 in performance settings, and change your I/O scheduler to Deadline.

Quadrider asked for assistance with lag. It should be understood that there is no way to have 100% lagfree use. However, telling someone "tuff luck you're phone sucks and we're tired of seeing your posts" is in now way constructive or helpful :/

The best we can do is give as much info as we can with the knowledge that we have to help answer the questions being asked.

Let's keep the Rezound community positive and helpful please.

As a guy coming from freezing in aosp rom's I can offer some advice.

Try Nova launcher, I used to use Apex and it was great until recently it was FC'ing on me and generally not performing all that great despite being the latest version. I tried Nova launcher and it works wonderfully, the smoothest one yet.

Also if you're phone is constantly lagging or freezing on you and it happens on every rom you've tried then I would bet on your phone being the culprit. I just exchanged my rez for a replacement because no matter what AOSP rom I was on the screen would become unresponsive, no matter what kernel/rom/governor/clock setting I tried it would be slightly better but never solved.

I didn't want to believe it was my phone but I wasn't getting anywhere so since it was still under warranty I exchanged it for a replacement which runs beautifully.

It's been said already but the rom's aren't going to be 100% lag free. Somebody said AOSP runs great 90% of the time and the other 10% of the time it can lag and run poorly. It's the price you pay I suppose.

I tried to use the search function but is this rom capable of global roaming?

[HTC Rezound] TecMan45:
Hi shrike1978 & Friends:

I'm interested in your CounterShrike_v2.4 ROM and gapps_ics_aroma_v1.0...before I install it, I have the following questions:

1. Can I run apps for Android 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 like Google Chrome, Google Now and Google Search?

2. Do I need to install first CounterShrike_v2.4 and then gapps_ics_aroma_v1.0?

3. Is it better AOSP then Sense for my Rezound?

Thanks

2. yes.

3. personal preference. lots of people, including me, prefer AOSP though.
[HTC Rezound] ChrisFa5:
Now why are you going to tease like that?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
does the camera take 16:9 photos and videos?
[HTC Rezound] bartholomeuznight:
os ir just me...But the sms gets chopped after a few Lines I guess every SMS supports 17 characters:/
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
ive been watching google services, and heres what gsam says about it.

cpu ussage- 3s

keep awake is 16s

wake locks- 163

# of times waking device- 53

also android system, #of times waking the device -1136

phone- wake locks- 235 -only like 3 calls and couple of texts

any of that seem abnormal?

location and sync are both off
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Depending on how long that was for, 16s of keep awake isn't bad. Do you have times on the phone and android system?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
At the time it was on for about 4-6hrs. Its the number of wakes and wake locks I'm leaning on. That a bit of waking IMO.
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
So what did you tell them to get a replacement?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
alright so i havea bit of a problem where i think its caused by profiles, but after i enable the default profile which is all soundsset to max volume, the keyboard clicks dont work anymore. and i cant figure out how to re-enable them... any ideas on how to do it?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Check under Sounds and see if Touch sounds is enabled...I think the keyboard clicks of the AOSP keyboard are associated with that setting.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i tried an nothing. i tried to clear data and reboot, and still nothing.

and screen unlock/lock sounds dont work eaither and google voice tone too... and touch sounds... and ringtone when someone calls or texts.... anoyone know how to fix this? i really dont want to do another install.

edit: nvm just reinstalled
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Shrike, this was what I was talking about in chat a couple of days ago. Not a deal breaker at all. :)

Sent from my iPhone...
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
This is very strange. It doesn't really make sense. I'm going to go through commits and see if I can find anything that cuts across all audio notifications.

Just to verify, other sounds were working?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
for me, it just happened all of a sudden. now after a fresh install it works. im going to need to see if any apps that i install breaks sound. 90% sure its user error. dont worry to much about it shrike. :)
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Everything but what I posted worked. Irk bout Calendar and such tho.

Also, I noticed that this from runs AWESOME rite after flash, but after about a few days it slows.down a lot and my resound starts to lag and get choppy.

Any ideas how to fix his or it is what it is? Clearing cache and stuff dosent really do too much. The only apps that don't stop running is YouTube and Gmail. But use low ram and CPU.
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Been running this for a week now and it's still fine so I wouldn't put too much thought into the lag that he's talking about. The sound issue is something I haven't experienced either so I would agree that it is user error. I'm trying to be nice so Neo won't 'rage' on me again lol but dude...you shouldn't post comments about lag when it's obviously your phone or something that you are doing to it. I've read the same thing countless times from you on every rom thread. You should definitely try to get another replacement man. I've been running this with intellidemand and deadline and bumped minimum freq up to 384 and it has been running smooth. Just looked at my battery stats and I'm at 8% remaining after 22 hours. With 2 hours of screen on time and almost 2 hours of calls on the stock battery so I'd say it's running pretty good :) and out of respect for Neo, I apologize for being mean to you Quadrider. Stuff just gets old after a while.
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
Having this issue as well. Flashing to another sense ROM and back didn't help. Might try it again for good measure. Not having 4g isn't a deal breaker though so meh. I did tinker with the network stuff before losing 4g and no setting there gets it back.

Hope this input helps with any troubleshooting that may be going on if any.

By far the best ROM I've found for this phone. Haven't even glanced at another since I loaded this. Seriously, great work. Extremely smooth and and stable.

Since I've got you buttered up now (I do, right? :P) I've got a peeve I'd like to make a request on. I think it's called the ime switcher. The notification bar icon that pops up when you have a text field active and provides a quick link to keyboard options. I've seen roms with the option to disable it. Any chance you could throw that feature in a future build? Pretty please? I'll give you a cookie? :)
[HTC Rezound] murhaava1:
It should be built in already. Try going to

Settings -> Language & Input -> Selector notification

Uncheck it to make the status bar keyboard switcher disappear
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
OP updated with v3.0. Major changes this version are experimental GSM support and fully integrated GApps...no more separate installer required. Minor updates are a plethora of bundled app updates and the reintroduction of smartassV2 (a problem with Snuzzo's code led me to squashing it out of the last two versions). Even though this is a major version number increase, it's mainly due to the extensive restructuring I did in the installer. The ROM base is little changed from v2.4, so a dirty flash should be fine, unless you are switching between GSM and CDMA. A clean wipe is always required in that case.

With this, I'm going to be taking a sorta-hiatus. I will be checking in at least daily to answer questions, but I'm not going to be doing any dev work over the holidays, so unless the jellybean code gets fixed, I won't be doing any updating until at least the second week of January.
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
Mother of God... I looked all over those menus more than just a few times and somehow overlooked it on the root menu. Nothing is ever on root menus!

Thank you sir.

Now I'm going to go try 3.0. Christmas came early this year! =)
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
Just flashed this and so far its awesome. One question tho.. is there any way to disable split messages in MMS app?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I'm not positive on this, but I think if you go into the MMS settings, and change the SMS count to 1, you'll get the behavior you're looking for.
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
Well, second time was a charm. Installed viper rez sense Rom and now I've got 4g back in shrike. I'll be sure to leave those network settings alone from now on. :)

Running 3.0 now without any issues. Still smooth and stable as ever. I'm getting the feeling this Rom will be the only one I flash for a long while, nothing else I've tried runs remotely as well.

Current battery life with regular usage is sitting at about 48 hours with no tweaks made.

Happy holidays Shrike!
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I stumbled on what seems to be an amazing tweak that promises to eliminate most of the interface lag in Android, and the theory behind it is sound. I'm typically very skeptical of tweaks, but I've been running it since yesterday, and thus far, it actually seems to deliver. I've packaged it up in a flashable zip for anyone that wants to try it out.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005378

For the curious, lambgx01, the original creator of the tweak, found that most of the interface lag seems to be caused by a limited entropy pool. Android uses entropy for almost everything, and when the random pool runs out, it has to wait for more to be generated. This is a small service that keeps the pool populated with fresh data so the system never has to wait on it.

Edit: Please leave me feedback...I'm seriously considering including this in the ROM. At minimum, I'll include it as a download in the OP if it gets good feedback.
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Will this run on any ROM or just this one? Is it set for non sense / CM9?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
It should work for any ROM, any phone.
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Thanks for the tips...:good:
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
First impressions, everything loads much faster. Usually Facebook or 9gag posts load one at a time with notable delay between them. Now they all load in batch and snappy. Very interesting find, I'll continue running this and providing any feedback I've got.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
flash that in recovery with no wipes?

also whats the news with MHL to HDMI? is anything working out with it?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Yep, just flash no wipes.

MHL work has stalled as far as I can tell. cslingerland was the main one working on that, I haven't seen him around much lately.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
ZOMG ASDFGHJKLASVQ!

Is this butter? :silly:
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
awsome gonna flash now! :D

and damn.... if MHL got to working on CM this rom and CM in general would be AMAZING! the one thing i miss from sense is being able to play movies on TV and games and such...

question with camera... the rezound has a 28mm lens. and i know in sense, the aspect ratio was 16:9 in this rom, does it still take 28mm 16:9 pics and vids?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i think most people are finishing up school or spending time with the family for the holidays. i know i have neglected my pc for the last week due to work. trying to get everything done before we shutdown. but i will be back at it next year.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
A FULL YEAR!!!!!! BUT THE WORLD IS ENDING AS WE SPEAK! lol i know i was just wondering.....

on another note, with that tweak, it does seem a bit smoother and faster. still getting chops in the launcher, but not as many or as noticeable.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
have you tired locking launcher into the ram for zero redraw?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
App launching, task switching, and returning home is where you'll see the huge gains. I haven't had one of those multi-second context switches since I started running it.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
its nova from stock rom. never changed it.... what do u mean redraw? it dosent force close at all..

how do i do that?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

add that to build.prop and it will lock the launcher into ram so it will never be reclaimed by the android OOM. redraw is when you go back to the home screen and you dont see anything for a few sec then stuff starts to appear again. this is because android OOM took over and closed the apk
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
ohh no that never really happends unless i play a really graphic intensive game. never happends on daily use
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yeah. the launcher is the last to be reclaimed.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i dont mind if it get taken out then, cause the extra ram is good, and im not using it when i play games lol
[HTC Rezound] Jwezesa:
Flashed 3.0 and that zip! Working great. Only thing I noticed (on 2.4 too) whenever I get a call it just says incoming call. No name or number?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
make sure you have your email adress checked in people app. so your contacts show up.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i would say add that teak into the rom! overall its a lot faster and smoother.
