I read the entire pages and pages of the seeder thread as well as that and a few articles posted in that thread. Conclusion for me is that its not been researched enough. Basically plainly random numbers and how they are generated shouldn't be an issue. Unless on wifi entropy pool should be untouched. With no mods its usually 100-300. Its not required to be full but when it empties the kernel itself must refill it instead of the normal function. If this ends up occuring there is a stop on all processes even i/o untill the entropy pool is filled back up enough. Not everyone will run into a scenario to trigger that. Setting sysctl tweaks and or seeder will keep entropy at a higher value and likely to never deplete therefore preventing the kernel the arduous task of refilling the entropy pool.

The last paragraph was added hours after xda posted that article stating more research is needed so that article was released on a whim very sudden with also not enough research. It was discussed too much in the seeder thread. Ill grab seeder discussion link for us. All phones handle different. I encourage people to try new things and decide for themselves like Castle Bravo. Have your own thoughts guys its important. Dont let me tell you how it is, always question information.

Its hard to say what will happen with seeder. For the most part adjusting randomize_va_space to 0 and read_wakeup_threshold to 1376 is enough to keep entropy at 2000-3000 and no app is needed for that. In fact I have those set in the init.d i posted above. Whatever comes of seeder I will be keeping up woth the latest info for it and likely we will just see a kernel fix for this very soon making the systctrl method and seeder app both equally unnecessary than...

Edit: here is seeder thread.

New seeder 1.2.1 released. If no one knows its free to all XDA.

Best explanation of what issue exists and how seeder addresses it.

I read in that and qouted him just page before last. Anyway this makes olenty sense why it works for me.

I use entropy monitor and just pulling down status bar uses up entropy pool. So Ui interactions can in fact be effected by the entropy pool. It was noted in the thread to.

Here i thought was good explanation.

As for XDA articles that are mere paragraphs that state they said Seeder was good then state they jumped the gun then state that even that article was written to preemptive to end up giving the OP and developer of seeder such sudden bad publicity in such a short time i cant take a articles word that has no proof it doesn't work. Not that seeder is necessary but rather the confirmation that for some users improving entropy pool refill seems to remove mere ms halts and stutters rarely seen. The best benefits would be seen if one would use entopy monitor find an activity that drains it quick and compared the same activities with seeder or the sysctl settings and again with none of that. Not all phones or even roms are seeing excessive use of entropy so there is absolutely no preset of what kind of improvement may be seen if any at all.
