[Android General] einst31n:
List of Tweaks and Mods compatible with/working effectively with Stock ICS

Hello ICS users,

Its been a while since I have been using the pathetic stock ROM of my device ( Samsung Galaxy S DUOS GT-S7562) . And, to make up for it , I am always on the lookout for performance/battery tweaks/Mods and additional features for a better experience with my device.

I have tried a lot of Tweaks/Scripts/Mods/Apps/Themes to somehow improve the performance of my Stock ROM. Not all are compatible or work perfectly with Stock ICS. Here, I have made a list of a few which I remember with which I have noticed improved performance.

PERFORMANCE

1.

ThunderBolt Scripts by Pikachu01

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556013

Not all of the scripts work perfectly, I had to manually test and try some of the scripts and these were the ones which worked for me - sqlite_optimize , Zipalign,and S98TCPbuffers

2.

Project Butter Tweak for ICS[/U

] - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060570

This is a combination of build.prop, RAM and other performance tweaks. I got reduced lag in games after this.

3.

CrossBreeder

Most of you must have already used it, This is primarily on reducing lags. You will notice immediate difference after installing this mod. Also , you can use Seeder / Entropy generator in PimpMyROM app as an alternative

4.

Disable CPU Rendering + build.prop tweaks

The name says it all,Obviously not every property will work but the ones working will surely provide a boost in performance,battery life as well as quality.

5.

Adrenaline Boost V3

This one is a must have for gamers. The boost is really noticeable sometimes while you are playing games!

Bootanimation4U

this one is for those who want to create their own bootanimation or manually install custom bootanimations.

APPS

1.

Auto Memory Manager

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman&hl=en

Really useful when you need to tweak the multitasking abilities of your device. This is NOT a task killer i.e. it does not blindly kills tasks. It tweaks the LMK in android to modify the multitasking abilities. Very Helpful when you have a lot of RAM usage.

2.

Xposed Framework

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

The awesome revolutionary framework by Rovo89 which makes way for other excellent xposed modules which makes almost anything possible.

3.

Xtheme Engine

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240180

Although there are numerous xposed modules , this is my personal favourite. It makes you able to choose and change the theme of your device just like the theme chooser in CM ! Getting closer to CM somehow :p

4.

SDMaid - System Cleaning tool

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013063

It is basically a system cleaner, cleans up a lot of stuff. Really effective in increasing performance as well as saving memory.

5.

Greenify

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155737

this app is a life saver for your battery and RAM , It is really really effective if you want to save up your battery and you are sick of the memory managers.

6.

BootAnimationFactory

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

This program makes it real easy to preview,extract or flash bootanimations to your device through your PC.

7.

AudioMOD - Viper4Android

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Easily the best audioMOD ive ever seen. It has almost no compatibility issues and the effects added are seriously sick!

I have tried a lot of mods, but these were the ones I found really useful and effective. Ive reached a score of 4500( Antutu ) on stock ROM without SDcard scores primarily because of all of these. Now, Stock doesnt seem that bad after all ;):cool:

Hope these are equally useful to you guys as well ,Thanks !

Hit Thanks if I helped you :good:
