[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Voda_Smart_2:
In another thread (similar to this one) somebody told that entropy it is made by kernel at boot and it is imposible to delete, YEs I accept that answer because I just checked another tablet that never had this patch installed and this file it is there and cant be readed or changed.

Now my question is: why we had instruction to copy this file there if at reboot it is owerwriten by kernel... looks like a bad joke.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bradman117:
the file was generated there after putting 2 other files on
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Voda_Smart_2:
Are you sure 110% ?

Then why I have this file in another devices that never had this patch installed ?

I just checked another android device and entropy_avail it is there.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
i tried this tweak and really saw no real improvement in anything but battery drain. to go back to normal all i did was go into my init.d & xbin folders and took the permissions away from the two files mentioned in the OP. i then restarted my n7 and checked to see what my entropy was and it wasn't 4000 but around 2300.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Davez92:
Sorry guys, I want to uninstall this tweak but I want some tips about this.

I've installed the apk, but after some test I've deleted.

I found about the three file which are mentioned in the first post but:

Rngd and 91rngd are absent.

Entropy_avail is present but I can't delete it!and I can't also modify the permissions..so how to uninstall this tweak?

I wrote in the terminal emulator the line which is used to test the tweak and my value is 171..

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Voda_Smart_2:
if you don't have rngd & 91rngd files you are ok, entropy_avail it is made by kernel and can't be deleted.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Flukester69:
I was under the assumption the init.d is built into the kernel. There are a lot of threads I found stating just that. I will give another look at the flash. Then maybe the apk is for those with init.d already.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Zen Arcade:
How to check that seeder or other entropy tweak is actually operating as intended:

1 - open up a terminal emulator window on phone or use adb shell from PC

2 - run the following command (also not a bad idea to run it before implementing so that you can see what the pool looks like before tweaking):

Code:

while :; do cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; sleep 1;done

3 - watch the number change as you do things on your phone (easier when connected via adb)... should be between 2000 and 4000 if the tweak is active, otherwise likely to never be greater than 500.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Flukester69:
Now that's nice information. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] n0need4introductions:
Just uninstalled it manually, after a day of using it, played emulators and games (Dead Space mostly), nothing different from my perspective... benchmarks showed the same before and after the tweak (around of 3743), just the batteries was draining faster...

I'll be waiting and checking this thread for further information...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Turbotab:
I haven't noticed any quantifiable gains.

Anyway, I was curious how dev/random could improve the lag, especially in Google maps which the OP mentioned in the original thread, where the delay in populating new map data (place names etc) even on an OC'ed Nexus 7 on a 50+ mb connection is annoying, the issue must be related to the caching of data, not entropy.

It seems that this fix is not valid, but hey at least it created a discussion and did no harm to our devices.

PLEASE READ

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Zen Arcade:
For a device/firmware that does not have lag issues, there will be no benefit to implementing. For older devices with older firmware there may be a benefit particularly if it eliminates the bug condition the google project team member alluded to.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nbsss:
I didn't try this, even after reading the first xda article. I'm generally a sceptic when there's a claim to remove 90% of lag... Life's taught me if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is....

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] simms22:
i am not surprised that the developer of the "v6 supercharger" is involved, king of all snake oil salesmen.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DroidRunner:
You beat me to it. V6 did more harm than good half the time.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AFAinHD:
I think people should read this from the XDA Front Page.

The premise of the hack is that you can reduce lag by keeping a section of the Android file system (/dev/random) full of random bits so that the system does not have to wait for the file system to generate them. In theory that sounds great, and has shown some success in certain areas where lag was obvious, but it presents all sorts of other problems.

It is for those concerns that we do not recommend using this fix. The fix itself in no way causes harm, and is near-placebo in its effects. CyanogenMod developer arcee posted information on the fix, stating that

The only users of /dev/random are libcrypto (used for cryptographic operations like SSL connections, ssh key generation, and so on), wpa_supplicant/hostapd (to generate WEP/WPA keys while in AP mode), and the libraries that generate random partition IDs when you do an ext2/3/4 format. None of those 3 users are in the path of app execution, so feeding random from urandom does nothing except make random… well… less random

There are valid concerns about lag and how the Android OS handles them, and there is discussion currently ongoing within the Android Code about this, but this fix does not address those issues and instead gives performance gains through boosting CPU speed. The developer himself stated that this could in effect reduce battery life, since the hack is waking the CPU every second.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
I used the removal zip to doubly make sure this mistake was off my n7. To my surprise it actually reset the permissions on the init.d script I had disabled wth? I checked to see what my entropy was and it was still ringing 3000+. I flat out deleted the init.d script and the xbin script using es file explorer and rebooted my n7. Checked threw terminal and my entropy is a nice 150 now. The dungeon masters should lock this thread.

This post was generated using my totally arse kicking NEXUS 7!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AFAinHD:
You shouldn't be so rude about it. This might work on other devices. It seems like good intention was put in to it, but he just tried to make it out like something it is not.

Thread Closed

Thread closed at OP request.

On a personal note, I did indeed run the free version of the script. Although it did produce more battery drain, responsiveness was indeed improved on a501 ICS 4.0.3. These are things that will always be with development. What works for some, may not work for others.

oh I'm sorry for figuring out a way for users to test the whole entropy thing without buying anything or having a binary run all the time.

I never said the entropy thing flat out worked - I merely figured out a way to see for yourself without any overhead.

If you have a problem with that, then that says enough about you that I don't have to.

edit: let me rephrase that - I did something so that users would be less likely to spend the $. What did you do apart from whining and moaning like a jealous baby?

It's easy to criticize without basis - and you're very good at that.

Oh, and feel free to vote in the poll, bub - currently at 86%+ approval with no snake oil votes.

But didn't google say all the orders they had would be done by January?
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
I hope not. Its only a guess but it seems that the UK Play Store has been receiving shipments around every 3 weeks or so. Nov 13 = Launch, Dec 4th = Launch 2, Dec 20th = Mass shipping emails go out to huge number of people on XDA UK Thread with guys taking delivery starting the following day 21/12 through to [on mass] 24/12.

For now, it seems that rather than taking delivery of stock and just putting up for sale on Play Store and shipping out to first orders - google took the 3rd delivery and held back to ship outstanding orders like they SHOULD have done with the 2nd batch.

I say again this is just my guess - as like everybody else I have nothing but an opinion.

Hey guys,

Been trying to change the stock status bar clock font in 4.2 with no luck. I've successfully changed the lockscreen font, but cannot get the statusbar font to change. I've replaced AndroidClock.ttf, AndroidClock_Highlighted.ttf, AndroidClock_Solid.ttf and Clockopia.ttf.

I'm guessing the font is controlled by a whole system-ui font, but I'm not sure which one does so. I've looked around and found out that its possible DroidSans.ttf is that file, but it is 0kb in size and is empty (weird). Any Ideas?

Cheers.

Hey XDA members!

This is the place where you can find all the official images made for the All-Star Devs Team

Whether you are using the team's awesome ROMs or are simply just a fan

the images in this collection can be used by anyone who appreciates the team's hard work

*To get any of the images click on the banners below and you will be directed to the selected collection*

Thanks man! Great job :). Just a quick request: can you add the words All-Star to the banners?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Think you can make banners like how team kang and cm has? Like one that says "downloads" "features" "credits" etc... If not, its cool. These look really nice and I think you can do it. We can use them in our op's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
About the banners, I think it would be easier for you to make on set that we can use for everyone of our ROMs. But if you want to make one for each ROM, then I would say unicef to be red and black :). Thanks for all your doing. We're actually in need of agraphic designer, would you like to join all star devs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
No worries Tmogalaxys2, it's not hard for me to make individual banners. I think it would help differentiate each ROM and it would look visually better aesthetic wise. And sure, black/red unicef coming right up (I'll have to figure out how the black on black will work though, I'll surprise you).

It would be my privilege to be a part of the team. I've had experience being in a team within the Samsung Captivate section (working with the teams that made the old yet notable Apex and Pinnacle Roms). By the way, this is my second XDA account, if I haven't made it obvious already.

I strive for visual perfection when it comes to the whole image of the team, I will definitely not let you guys down! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PapaMag:
Hey guys it may be a bit premature but I saved and modified a bit with the main banner and used it as the banner on the soon to be All Star Devs site. If you don't want me to use it or I'm infringing please just let me know. Great looking banners and you are good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Just finished updating all the signatures, let me know what you guys think. :)

It's cool that you're working on the team's site, never knew they decided upon that, ahaha. If you need help creating the site, let me know! For the banner, it should be okay to use for the site, just recheck with the boss's of the team. But as a heads up, I'll be making an individual one for each ROM. Cheers!

Edit: If you would like to make any necessary adjustments with the official banner, let me know as I have the raw files. It would be much more easier if I were to modify it for you and the image will retain it's integrity.

Possibly new official Lightning Zap Kernel logo design?

I just finished designing a new logo for krazeecracker's Lightning Zap Kernel.

Since krazeecracker is part of the All-Star Devs team, I designed the logo with the purpose of it having the same 'All-Star Dev logo' concept.

In that way there is concord between every logo designed and the gold lightning bolt in the new logo suited the image perfectly, as well.

Another design feature... if you look carefully at the lightning bolt you'll see an "L" that represents the L in your kernel name, ahaha.

Additionally, designing the logo this way is perhaps a way of hinting that an All-Star/Lighting kernel may be in the making? :rolleyes:

Well, anyways hope you like the new logo design krazeecracker! Let me know what you think. :D

Possibly new official Nibbles Kernel logo design?

Hey ayysir, I was able to finish the logo design for the Nibbles Kernel for you to use in your post.

It is designed with the same aspects as the previous logos/banners I made. For this logo, I was trying to think of a design that best suited the name of the kernel, Nibbles and first thing that came to mind was crumbs left behind after one were to nibble a cookie, lol. So during the the thought process of the design, I ended up breaking up the letter 'N' in nibbles to several pieces. At the same time, keeping the modern look and the letter 'n' still distinguishable. The link to the new logo is at the bottom of this message.

Hope you are pleased with the new design, please let me know what you think of it. Thanks! :)

The official All-Star Kernel logo design is still in the process. Everything will be released by the end of this weekend the latest.
