Updates apps, reply & Developmental ROMs/scripts

Team Blackout is linked in the OP. Click this link and search for app of choice.

If you want to try my latest development app, it has the most recent google play app compatible with dpi preference. Google keeps making changes and pushes the update so it has to be manually corrected or the ROM updated with new Team Blackout app; they maintain the apps and update quickly as needed. Looking at the upload dates, the developmental ROMs start at 5/21/2013; I venture to say that LegacyThunderROM may be considered a stable release. The others have been flashed and minor testing. I'm currently using "LT-SC_odexROMv1.00_MTD.zip" and plan to take it on vacation starting Friday, 6/7/2013 until 6/25/2013. I can follow this forum and answer some questions but I also may need others to continue to be helpful in my absence. Thanks to all who watch and support this thread.

My latest development ROM is usually uploaded to my public dev-host folder. There are three versions currently available; odd numbered ROMs have the AOSP lock-screen and no pull-down animation. The even numbered ones, like 1.00, 1.02, 1.04, 1.06 have the TW lock-screen with shortcuts to new missed calls and texts and also have the pull-down animation.

What's New:

added /data/V6_SuperCharger PowerShift scripts for setting quick widgets to adjust for user preference; testing seems to favor calculated or multitask settings over balanced and aggressive modes. YMMMV The oldest release does not have the aggressive mode PowerShift.

The ones with LT-SC have both the Thunderbolt! script and latest V6_SuperCharger scripts with entropy enlarger. You can setup and select a CFS quickwidget @ /system/etc/bolt_scripts/CFS and also a PowerShift quick widget. Or you can just use the presets which are based on calculated min-freees. I've also made changes to the /system/etc/init.d/S_volt_scheduler (use ControlFreak to modify, if needed). I've dropped the scheduled flush in favor of using quick-widget as needed to drop caches. At bottom is a snapshot of my home-screen for tools with my quick-widgets for optimizing. After setup/test, I no longer need all but could delete all quick-widgets but "#Calculated-PowerShift.sh" and "#S98CFSF".

Quick widget setup is outlined in the Legacy Thunder ROM post linked in OP. ThunderROM has had more testing but still a small group of testers but no memory issues have been reported so I'd recommend a ThunderROM trial. The odex versions should only be flashed if you have no intentions of flashing framework mods (flashing an alternate theme is also an example of a framework mod that should be avoided if you're unfamiliar with handling odex files). But if you like the theme and included mods, try the odexed versions; they are still friendly with google play and data files since only the Samsung /system app files and /system/framework were odexed. Lots of benefits gained using odexed ROMs but not fully realized due to /data, google and sprint apps not being odexed; I followed the same model as the stock/rooted FC09 Odexed ROM using the ReOdex tool SenseiSimple linked in SleeperROM EL30 release. Thanks again SenseiSimple!

Please refer to OP for flashing instructions. Due to the complexity of varying scripts, I recommend backup and data wipe. If you like living dangerously and wish to flash over existing TW ROM or LegacyROM, feel free to try (I've tried to include a number of updater-script scenarios but can't guarantee that I addressed all).
