[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Trickster and advanced settings

* Hey Caleb, check out what me and welder are talking about man. (Caleb and me are now friends, if you want, we can be friends too, welder. I will PM him to check this post, he helped me get off my arse and move on this stuff. I was a bit scared off that it was "too green to be mature" but he persisted it was really good and it is, CM11 is just WAY to awesome to let go of. Only minor issues now, have to toggle airplane all the time now to get wifi to work, even with wifi patch installed every time I update.)

Alright welder! I was waiting on you man. Somebody else was asking me more about the settings but I had to run and waned to know those other options. I am an electronic tech, one of the best, home electronics, stereos, TVs, anything home electronics, since '82. Natch' that I would gravitate to computers and this phone is, well, a pretty neat computer!

That "Inject Settings" module is cool as hell. You got neat cyan tinted menus and all that xposed framework stuff after "About Phone". I just installed that module, checked the md5, rebooted, and, ...nothing! It is present as a module, has not user interface, and does not show in System Settings. I am using Apex Launcher, maybe that is why? I dunno man. Alright, let's see what you got...

...holy crap, dude. This Xposed Framework module set is SO extensive it is hard to imagine it all, let alone figure it all out. I got some nice tweaks going on but, man, this will take some time. I like the startup manager but have to play with it to figure it out. Seems like Greenify is no longer needed but I still have the pay version. CM11 just puts everything to sleep now, that is good, but some stuff I don't want sleeping or only want sleeping "with one eye open" kind of. Like my Micro CPU Monitor, it just puts two one pixel wide lines on top of screen like CPU core "VU Meters" so I can see when the device is pinned and not responsive. It nods out all the time, no way so far to make it stay awake that I can find. Dropbox would always instantly upload any pictures to my home PC immediately, now I have to open up dropbox and close it again to wake it up and, presto, my pictures appear on Dropbox home PC again. Would be nice to make that sleep with one eye open to watch for new pictures. Somewhere with all these darned modules must be one that will assign priority to apps so you can pick what you want to sleep and how hard to sleep. I haven't found it yet.

Hey, anybody out there figure out any kind of xposed module or utility to figure out how to assign priority or for Linux Veterans a "nice level" to apps yet? Something so we can decide what sleeps and what should stay awake or at least somewhat awake to watch for events or report things like CPU activity monitors? Speak up please!

Okay where were we, ah, your setting, yah! Yeah, you get a "Thanks" for this. I made a pdf of this for reference.

Okay, you like sioplus+interactive overall, I will go with it. How the hell do you know what all this stuff means, man? I mean like what kind of words are these? sioplus, ktoonservative, and all that. Is there some kind of chart or page that tells what all this means? I can find it I guess, somewhere, but if you know, tip us off, dude. We wanna know. Lemmie see what else, I got you open in two tabs, one to read and one to answer. I know, I will put you in a text file for side by side answering or separate window.

What is this BMM thing? I know it is a recovery environment but it it like, better than Safe Strap or something? So you formatted in System rather than in a rom manager recovery environment. Only problem with that is I think some parts of the internal SDcard are in use while system is running so maybe not possible for a true format while running. Not a big deal but early on with CyanogenMod, I installed new version and it was first awesome experience but like, wow, the whole file system seemed to change and about half of my internal SDcard space was just like, ....gone, man. That bothered a LOT of us for months. We could not figure out where all the space went. I can't take credit for the answer, someone else found out. Boot to ClockworkMod Rom Manager, format interenal SDcard (And it really did format the ENTIRE SDcard, then reboot and allow Google to repopulate your stuff. Took about 45 minutes and all my stuff came back. BAM!) I got tons of room now on the internal SDcard. It seems that the new rom installed to the internal SDcard but did not delete or remove the old system. It simply hid it and make a new system on what space was left. So you end up with like "no space available" and no file manager could show the space or where it went. Formatting did not erase the System, it was in internal storage, but the internal SDcard is where all the apps were, they got repopulated. Safe Strap does NOT actually format the card, it does a Linux "rm -rf" which is recursive delete including sub-directories, not a true erase all format and that is not acceptable. "rm -rf" has limitations where "format" wipes everything, period. This is really stupid because to use "rm -rf instead of format" was an option checked in settings for Safe Strap, but you could NOT uncheck that box! Maybe you need the pay version for it or something? So that was the big interest in formatting the SDcard. Not sure if I need that now. I would have to back up the entire card if I were to do that and moving large amounts of data such as several gigabytes over WiFi or USB cable takes quite a long time.

What else? "Battery Friend" what the heck is that? In Trickster? Okay, now THAT sounds like my friend, let me look for it now. (Do you have the pay version of Trickster or no, just the one that comes with JBX?) You are talking about the Frequency Profile under General settings? Mine is "unnamed" and cannot be changed. I think you have to donate to get to change it. I don't mind donating a few bucks, this stuff is like, not expensive. But is that what you mean? I don't want to just "throw away five bucks". If I have to donate to make or load a specific profile then I will. This cannot be what you are talking about. These frequency numbers are huge. Mine is Screen On Min 300000 which is 300 KHz. Max I kicked up to 1300000 which is 1.3 GHz. And Screen Off Max 700000 (700 Khz), Min 300000 (300 KHz). So we must not be on the same page or mine is not set right?

Oh I found it, "Battery Friend" is in the Specific Menu! Never mind, I got this now. :p

Welder, can we PM to become friends? Stuff that is important for everyone to know we should post public. But to discuss what each other means sometimes should be done in a PM and then post relevent material in public to help others, not to confuse them. Know what I mean? I will send you a friend req. I sent you a friend request, accept it. I never had a Serbian Welder friend before. I am not even sure where Serbia is, Middle East, is it? Welding is a good trade, I love it but went for something cleaner, indoors so I did electronic technician. Got a government education loan, could not pay for it, and after 20 years, the government "forgave the loan" because by that amount of time, they just gave up and knew I would not be able to pay back the 5 thousand dollars. Caleb is also a good friend (tydiamond11). He is very enthusiastic and the one who encouraged me to keep trying and it would be good and he was right. Maybe you want to be buds with him too, I will PM him to look at this post.

Oh man! If you turn on Battery Friend (BF), you cannot OC the device so that means I cannot use 1.3 GHz anymore! Did you read that part? 1.3 GHz makes a HUGE difference over 1.2 GHz stock. Now the this 1.3 GHz is not always active, only when the unit needs that much power like benchmarking or doing something intense. I have to play with this to see what I like better. I will try it with BF off and 1.3 GHz on to see if it drains my battery too fast. If I run out of battery by late afternoon, then I will go and turn on BF to see if it greatly increases the battery life. As long as it lasts the entire day, I am good. But at times, I have run out before the night is up and that is really unsettling, because then I have to plug in the car charger and by the time I hit 15%, I am already too late and will lose the phone before I turn in for the night. Okay, you did REAL GOOD Welder. Now I know better what to look for and how to do it.

(COPS is on TV now, I have a dual screen PC with WinTV and they are showing all the prostitutes going to jail and they are really HOT. Not like hot chicks you see on TV or the movies, but good looking women in heels and tight skirts or hot pants you could talk to or hang with if you meet them the right way instead of when they are "working". Hard to keep my eyes on the message I am writing. This must be Las Vegas Jail tonight, these chicks are way too hot to be street walking around where I live. Hah!) God, I *love* this new PC, I just built it new with a real SSD hard drive. Wow, this thing boots from zero to full on in 20 seconds. My last quad core AMD 3.3 GHz would take at least 5 full minutes or more just to boot. A reboot could take ten minutes! I got some extra money with disability benefits so I spent 2 grand on parts and built a dream machine.)

*ahem*

There are only two settings for BF, min_freq & screen_off_max_freq. Right now set to default 200000 and 700000. That is 200KHz to 700KHz. Oh, the other settings are what you use for Frequency Profile? Can't be, the phone would crawl like a snail with these settings. You are leaving off a lot of zeros so I think you mean "300 means 300 KHz or 300000" Look what you wrote:

(Hmmm, hot chicks are not on TV anymore, that was a rare treat on Cops.)

Battery Friend - On (min_freq 200,screen_off_max_freq 400)

Min - 300

Max - 1000

Max Screen Off - 400

Min Screen On - 300

Okay, saved your post as a reference pdf for now. BF turned off so I will not lose the 1.3 GHz v.s. 1.2 GHz stock, it makes such a big difference in benchmark. If battery dies before dinner or before bedtime, then BF goes on and will play with the numbers. But your "Max" above seems to be 1 GHz. How come you want to benchmark so high and then run the phone so low? It is bearable for you and you save so much battery that it is worth it? Mine used to choke a lot more than it does on CM11, but still can choke with my "CPU VU Meters" pinned for maybe a couple of minutes at times and if this happens, you cannot even make a call, use maps, or do anything until it drops down again. What else you got?

GPS-locks immediately

Wi-Fi-good

2G-3G-good

Bluetooth-good

Mine is the same but I have to always toggle airplane for WiFi to connect. However, I always install the WiFi Patch at every update. Maybe it is not necessary anymore and that is causing it. Do you use the WiFi patch anymore? This is bugging me A LOT dude. You don't have to toggle airplane mode to make WiFi connect at all? So then you are NOT using the CM11_WifiAP.zip file at updates or at all anymore, is that it? My other stuff is ALL good.

You know what, as soon as a new update comes out, I am going to do it and NOT install the WiFi patch and see what happens. If I get WiFi at all and if I still have to toggle airplane anymore. Seems like people are talking like this is a non-issue anymore. Maybe the patch is doing this.

I will look into your camera. Mine works good, very high definition. I have the Pictures2SD module loaded in Xposed Framework. Not sure how it works, let me try it out for real. "Does not have a user interface" so how the heck do I get to choose or know where pictures are going? Time to find out. Took picture, wow, no way to tell where it goes or ends up. No way to set it or choose at all. Let's find out where it landed. Pictures2SD module is loaded. Gosh I don't even know where it is, I can find it in Gallery but I will use ES File Explorer to try and locate it. Oh, camera pictures go into DCIM directory. Now on which card is it?

Oh! Yeah, they really *are* going to external card!

/sdcard-ext/DCIM/Camera/*

Okay so the Xposed Framework Module, Pictures2SD, really does save pictures to external SDcard.

Man, they keep putting these "hot chick commercials" on TV for streammatestv or something like that, very distracting. I just got out of a bad relationship and have to get out more now. Oh here we go again, naked chicks in the Adam & Eve commercials in high heels and holding a card in front of them. Wow, I really better start getting out a little more! :eek:

Jesus, I think I am talking *way* too long. Time to say nite nite and see what you have to say, will be watching for you. Thanks Welder. Goodnight my friend. :good:
