[Android General] btiu:
Tweak for speed, battery life, and other cool/useful stuff.

Chapter 5.0.0

: Speed

There are tons of stuff to speed up your phone, and they're not just limited to one specific phone. So bring in the list.

1. Use Greenify (find it in the play store)

Requirements: Root (optional for auto-hibernation. Highly Recommended.), Android 4.0+

You may greenify stuff like Guardian if you are not using it, or maybe the FB app too. Saves some battery and gives a little free ram for better multitasking.

2. Disable fancy window animations and transitions

Go to settings>developer options and disable the three animation options to animation off.

3. Use a cpu controller like No Frills CPU control (find it in the play store)

Controls how fast or slow you want your CPU to go. Default Governor is hotplug.

For a faster phone, set the governor to performance. It sets the CPU to scale to the max that you set. Use when you are playing heavy games.

For a battery saving phone, set the governor to powersave. It sets the CPU to scale to the min that you set. Use when you only plan to use really light apps.

For a balance between performance and battery save, it's probably best to go back to hotplug since it can turn the second core on or off depending on your usage.

4. Tweaks and Scripts

Info: Tweaks refers to build.prop tweaks. Scripts refer to init.d scripts. So this is a two-part thing. Adding build.prop tweaks, and running init.d scripts. Some do this two-part thing simultaneously in one flasher. Others, separate the tweak part from the script part. The reason they do this is because phones running from stock usually do not support init.d scripts, but only build.prop tweaks.

Our 8.31z cannot support init.d (yet) so for now we will only do the tweak part.

1. Tweak part of [ SCRIPT | TWEAK ] ◢ Project Fluid™ ◣ by Spex. [size="+1"]Recommended.[/size]

Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.

Project Fluid has a separable tweak part. I didn't apply all as some are optional. So I just applied it and what happened?

Using Antutu X Benchmark

Before Project Fluid Tweak: 7334

After Project Fluid Tweak: [size="+1"]9264!!![/size]​

I only selected some of the tweaks (i.e. I didn't use "unlock with volume rocker and other stuff like that) Here's what I added to my build.prop. Feel free to do the same.View attachment 2785183

How to:

1. Open ES explorer (I'm using latest version)

2. Copy the tweaks that you want to add to build prop. Find the tweaks in spex's post or copy my selected tweaks. And thank spex in his thread.

3. Press the menu button on your phone. Click tools. Click on for root explorer and grant root permissions.

4. Click root explorer. Click Mount R/W. Choose R/W for /system and click ok.

5. Navigate to /system and open build.prop with ES note editor. Press the menu button on your phone and click edit.

6. Now paste the tweaks into the build.prop file. Or type them manually :P

7. Reboot and enjoy!

2. Tweak of Dash-M Script and tweak by myaservip

Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.

Dash-M has a tweak part and a script part too. If you want to try Dash-M Tweak, go to his myaservip's thread and download the zip, transfer to the root of your sdcard, go to recovery mode, and flash from there.But personally, Project Fluid's tweaks are more complete. I haven't tried Dash-M script since we haven't added init.d so stay tuned.​

3. Script and Tweak of ★ [MOD] ◢ PurePerformances™X ◣ | Golden Edition | Scary performances on Android by Jeeko

Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.

This is a single inseparable script and tweak in one so we cannot use it yet. Stay tuned.​

[size="+1"]General reminder: Tweaks and scripts are usually not mix-able. So remove one before trying another.[/size]

Chapter 6.0.0

: Cool/Useful Stuff

1. Xposed Framework and Modules.

Our device can definitely benefit from Xposed modules! 4.2 is capable of running these.

2. TouchPal Keyboard

A good replacement to stock keyboard. Contains different keyboard layouts and support for tons of languages! And if you have experienced the keyboard not pressing the right button, this might be a better replacement.

3. Moreto come.
