What this kernel does is provide slightly less voltage to the processor. This should not be dangerous for anyone to try, however it may be unstable or just result in general weirdness on a few phones. If it does, all you have to do is revert back to the kernel you had before.
The upsides to less voltage are less heat as well as less power consumption. That means battery life
Remember, this one is running at stock speeds.
Get it on Koush's RomManager (download RomManager from the market) I'll post changelogs in this thread from now on, but keep the kernel on RomManager.
Changelog 8/29:
Lots of stuff.. I dunno.. Look at the CM6 kernel changelog (I've been working on that).
Biggest thing IMO is the usleep stuff which lowers CPU usage and therefore increases battery life.
Note: only tested on CM6. Let me know if you try it on any other roms.
Link: http://kanged.net/up/files/5/kernels/signed-August26-UV950.zip
Changelog 6/20:
Ermm.. I've been releasing my kernels on twitter.. but I'm finally happy with this one.
-Latest Cyan commits
-Minor voltage tweaking
-erm... yeah I dunno.
Get it here http://kanged.net/kmobs/signed-619UV-34.zip or from RomManager.
Changelog 5/14:
-Reinstated those commits reverted earlier.
-Updated to .33.4
-Only doing a 925mV kernel due to the results from the blind study
Changelog 5/1:
-Reverted the following commits thanks to intersectRaven. I think they were the reason for the excessive battery drain.

f2513498e961966d3209aacfffc43de4f41f2ece
-Updated to latest CM source (minus those commits)
Changelog 4/21:
Fixed the board-mahimahi.c in the 850mV kernel.
OLD updates and changelog:
http://iq0.org/story/yet-another-nexus-one-kernel-now-battery-saving
Note: Now offering a universal update.zip method for flashing the kernel (big thanks to Koush for this one)
Thank you www.tdrevolution.com for hosting my work.
Does it still have the highmem?
GEtting an access denied message, Seems the post doesnt exist
Great job. Will get you a logcat if I get any random weirdness.
Maybe now my battery can last longer then my G1 battery did when I am at work.
Anyone care to make an update.zip for those of us without computers nearby to check this out?
Tested and functional with Enomther 1.61. Thanks a lot
What is the CPU voltage and is the some app that can show it?
Running this new kernel at 576/245 mHz, wifi off, 3G connection, brightness set to automatic. will report back with battery life as soon as it runs out. lol
Off of charger: 11:34AM , Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Battery completely drained: TBA

To those asking for an update.zip: I don't to package this into something that will be easily flashable by all, including those that may not understand the risks (I don't think there are any with this kernel, but can't be sure). I want there to be some rudimentary knowledge of android before someone goes and flashes this and potentially messes up their phone.
Does that make sense? I feel that there should be a barrier to entry on kernels that OC and the like.
What voltages is it for different MHz?

I do understand what your saying, I don't think its that much of a barrier though. There are many instructions throughout these boards that will let anyone who is even remotely interested flash a new kernel and push a .ko to their phone... The only reason why I want an update.zip is so that I can flash this on my phone to test it while I'm at work, it would also be nice to be able to switch quickly between kernels and whatnot. I don't have a computer that I can connect to via USB to run fastboot/adb so the only way I can get these on my phone is via a zip.
I don't think that a developer/hacker can be held responsible for others not knowing what issues can be caused by a voltage/clock tweak - especially with disclaimers up everywhere.

Oh I understand where you're coming from, and I would make you a private one, but I'm not home at the moment. However, for the general user, if they can't use fastboot, I don't want them anywhere near this. I hope someone makes you an update.zip!

you can make one yourself.
grab boot.img from cyanogen's rom.
grab split_bootimg.pl from http://android-dls.com/files/linux/split_bootimg.zip
grab persiansown's zImage.
(in linux)
put all three in a folder. let's call it kernel.
while in the kernel folder:
./split_bootimg.pl boot.img
mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel zImage-persiansown --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o boot-persiansown.img
(in windows)
download this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kj2wi7
use winrar to open up that up, remove the boot.img in there and replace it with boot-persiansown.img (make sure it is named boot.img)
open up the update-script in META-INF folder (some levels down in there), and remove the format BOOT line (you'll be left with write_raw_image ... line), and save it.
grab this: http://www.relentlessaddictions.com/Androidstuff/signing.zip
unpack to your tools folder in your android-sdk folder distribution, and run autosign.bat. follow the prompts. once setup, you can right click on the .zip file with the boot.img in it to sign it, or you can execute from a cmd prompt: java testsign BOOT-IMG.zip
flash via custom recovery (which can flash .zip's signed with test keys).
you should be all set.
edit: mkbootimg can be found in prebuilt within AOSP distribution, or you can grab this precompiled one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=229872&d=1253485580
NOTE: This will probably no longer be maintained. It was the result of me playing around with the kernel from scratch instead of trying to understand what changes others have made and why they had made them! Now I'm a little more confident I'll probably be using DooMLoRD's kernel as a base for any changes I make to the Ray: [Kernel] [Ray] DooMLoRD's Kernel for Ray
hartej said:
Been playing around with Kernel development and created an overclocked kernel for the 4.0.2.A.0 stock Rom.
There's nothing too speciall in it at the moment, but lets you overclock the Ray to 1.9Ghz using the source released by SE and the modified CPU steps that IF2 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165355
There's no custom bootloader/Clockwork mod and no additional governers (at the moment) although I may add these in future as I learn more.
It seems to work well enough, and everything seems to be working as standard. I experience random lock-ups at 1.9 and occasionally 1.8Ghz, especially when it goes into/out of sleep when the screen turns off. Lower frequencies seem stable though.
This is released as-is, I'm using it myself but I can't be held responsible for any instabilities or failures you might experience. Just thought it might be of use to some people.
The new .img file can be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17615284/4.0.2.A.0-V0.13-2011-12-18.img
Alternatively, I've posted a version of the DooMLoRD kernel for the Ray which has a ton more features. This can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400121
To install just use fastboot in the usual way. To return to stock, extract kernel.sin from the official update image using WinZip/WinRar etc and flash using fastboot again.

I'll post any updates here from now on.
Changelog:
19/12/2011 - V0.13 - As people have quite rightly pointed out, V0.12 boots at 1.8GHz as default, which causes multiple reboots. I hadn't noticed this as I had SetCPU reduce it to 1GHz as soon as the system started. The only change to this version is to have it boot at 1GHz as default, it's up to the user to increase it themselves.
28/10/2011 - V0.12 - Added Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.6 (Spam Vol[-] when phone starts up, use volume keys to navigate, home to select, back for back)
28/10/2011 - V0.11 - Started playing with the Ramdisk - as a first start I've made it rootable. Things like "Adb remount" work now.
26/10/2011 - V0.1 - intial release
Current version:

get new kernel~nice
tested it works really cool
thanks!!!!!
Like it...
thanks
Glad to see the "Recovery option" is available.
I tested v0.11+OC 1.3Ghz -> no problem.
However, v0.12+OC 1.2 or 1.3 -> keep on rebooting.
v0.12+no OC (use default 1Ghz) -> no problem.
im on 012+oc 1.5mhz, still working well....
great works!
great work, thx for your efforts
the included cwm is it dooms latest?

"[v12 onwards] modified recovery to support /sd-ext backup/restore (remember /sd-ext has to be the 2nd partition on ur sdcard [mmcblk0p2] for this to work)"
if it is not I think that would be usefull with ext support, now you can use a2sd for xperia, bu it is not possible to make nand backup bcs cwm dit not recognize ext partition.
can you add donation possibility, would like to support your work
Thank you a thousand times! :d
2 questions though:
- I have to reroot my phone after this?
- Do I have to rename the download to boot.img?

It's not the latest I'm afraid so I doubt the ext backup would work. I'll see what I can do for the next release when I get a chance.
At some point I was also going to see if it's possible to change the MTD partition structure to give more space to /data. At the moment adb reports:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock0 400.0M 241.8M 158.2M 60% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 420.0M 270.3M 149.7M 64% /data
This means that there's over 150MB of 'free' space in system that could be given over to the data partition instead of being effectively lost. May or may not be possible - don't know enough about the system yet.
As for donations - this is as much a learning experience for me than anything else, and at the moment I'm mostly applying things that others have done instead of making any breakthroughs myself so I wouldn't feel happy taking donations, but the thought is appreciated.

You'll have to put it into fastboot mode by powering on and holding Vol[+], then flash using "Fastboot flash boot <filename>" - you can rename it or not, provided the <filename> part matches. You shouldnt have to reroot.

That's strange, i've got it overclocked to 1.5Ghz and it seems to be really stable. As far as I'm aware the only change I made between the two was adding clockwork - there shouldn't be any other difference... I'll look into it.
Double reboot only 10 min after flashing and without changing frequencies..

Do you use SetCPU ? (I use SetCPU 2.2.4)
What's the parameters did you use to OC 1.5Ghz ?
"ondemand" ? "powersave" ? "performance" ? or ?
Currently I changed back to V0.11. (it's stable for me)

Yup, think I'm on 2.14 though - I doubt this would make a difference but its possible I guess.
I leave everything as-is (So ondemand governor) but reduce the min to 122MHz and increase max to 1.5GHz. Still confused as to why the previous version is more stable for some, but I'll have a look at the differences.
hi! thank you for this kernel.
now question. can you include USB_otg into your kernel? it's realised in DooMLorD kernel for arc (link). is it possible to do this feature for our device?
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia

take it
Tried 0.12 and was really happy there´s clockwork for my ray But I have to go back to stock kernel. v0.12 randomly freezes and then reboots (btw. ray gets hot untill reboot).
I didn´t overclock and use rooted 4.0.2.A.0.42.
I am not sure if someone else has posted this already. But I couldn't find one, so here you go. (Please let me know if I'm mistaken)
I made two small edits to the boot.img of the stock (leaked) ICS rom in order to satisfy my needs:
1. ability to run init.d scripts,
2. start adb in root.
They are very simple and anyone with a little knowledge can do it himself, but it still is convenient to have someone else do it, isn't it? I, for one, searched the forum in vein.
Here's a short explanation of what it is, and how to utilize the features.
1. init.d :
You can place your own shell scripts in /etc/init.d (you have to create the directory yourself, of course) and run them at boot time. If you prefer the CM style userinit.d, you could create a script like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# call userinit.sh and/or userinit.d/* scripts if present in /data/local
if [ -e /data/local/userinit.sh ];
then
log -p i -t
userinit "Executing /data/local/userinit.sh";
logwrapper
/system/bin/sh /data/local/userinit.sh;
setprop
fi;
if [ -d /data/local/userinit.d ];
then
logwrapper busybox
run-parts /data/local/userinit.d;
fi;
and place it in init.d (credit: CM team). After that, you can place additional scripts without remounting system partition. Just don't forget to chmod appropriately.
A word of caution: Don't go wild and install all those tweaks found in other forums without checking to see their contents. I found that most of them to be either irrelevant or even harmful to the Amaze. Remeber, we've got one of the best phones on the market and wouldn't want to ruin it by running tweaks designed for our 'lessor' siblings!
2. adb root :
I was getting tired of the inability to adb push files to user restricted directories. Also, I use Droid Explorer a lot, but was tired of its inability to obtain root even though my phone is rooted. So I basically changed the default.prop and everything is fine now.
Added benefit is that 'adb remount' works now.
Well, that's it. Too simple, but until someone comes up with a nice kernel with these mods built in, we got to live with what's available.
DISCLAIMER : Should I even include a disclaimer? Why not? This is just a stock boot.img with minor modifications to its ramdisk portion, and it shouldn't harm your phone. If it doesn't work, simply reflash the stock boot.img found in the stock/leaked ICS roms. However, I don't want anyone to brick his phone, so don't flash this unless you know what you are doing. Also, I've seen some people bricking their phones merely by trying to flash innocent files like this one. Hard to believe, but anything can happen, so I will not be responsible if you brick your phone.
INSTRUCTIONS :
0. be sure you got the ICS build 4.0.3 with the stock kernel. rooted and have installed busybox (for init.d support only).
1. download the attached boot.img.
2. place the file where adb/fastboot can find it.
3. flash it using 'fastboot flash boot boot_new.img.
4. reboot.
5. try 'adb shell' and see if you get # prompt.
6. add some scripts in /etc/init.d and reboot and see if it runs.
It runs on my Amaze running the newer leaked ICS rom (unlocked bootloader, rooted, and busybox from the market). If you have any other settings, it probably won't do any good.
That's it, guys. Hope you have some fun with it (like I did).
Just flashed your modified boot.img so far everything works as described. Going to attempt my backlight script now. Just reflashed the stock RUU as certain Roms were giving me WiFi issues. Thanks
Is this why adb remount never worked?? I asked a few people and they acted like I was crazy.. I KNEW there had to be a reason it wasn't working.. I guess my only question is why was it no one thought to do this since the ICS release except you? LOL.
Edit: And I am out of thanks, this is my mental note to come back and hit thanks when I get some to give again!
Edit2: As advertised it works flawlessly, as advertised. It will be awesome to be able to push files to my phone and all the other things I couldn't do before! A simple tweak, as you said, still appreciated!
seems like were getting some more people around here that actually contribute to the amaze forums. thanks guys...carry on
Thank you very much
Now to find some scripts to run, lol.
Thank you all for the kind words! As I said in the OP, I was curious at first about the usefulness of my post. I truly believe that, if HTC had given us more power to mod this phone, this forum would have been 10 time more active with all sorts of useful stuff. Come on HTC, you give us the best phone (even better than the One series!), and why do you want to cripple us?

As I didn't test the boot.img with any roms around, I don't know what went wrong with your wifi. That's why I only promised it would work with the NEWER stock ICS rom. Is it possible that you flashed the boot.img to a custom rom that is based on the OLDER leak?
Additionally, if the rom dev has made his/her own mods to the boot.img, it would not be compatible with the stock boot.img like mine. I didn't add, remove or move any files.

Hehe, yeah it is because of some security settings that phone manufacturers chose to enable in order to minimize customer support costs, I guess. Instead, they should give us all the power (and funding, too) so that we can support each other at XDA!

I've used more than two dozen smart phones in the past, including ancient pda's and even iPhones (ouch!), and I think the Amaze has the best (mix of) hardware. I, too, wish there were more devs here, and wonder why some great devs around didn't see the potential in it. Well, HTC isn't doing something right...

Hard to find anything useful for the (already mighty) Amaze, isn't it?
Things I would add for myself are like:
- house keeping: delete cache, move/copy important files from internal to external sdcard, etc.
- renice phone and input method a bit. How about acore? Probably not...
- zipalign, maybe, if you're fanatic about it.
- save logs and erase oldest ones. Gosh, what am I saying? We've got so much storage space. Oh, well. If we save the logs in external sdcard, we can view them even when the phone doesn't turn on...
Hehe, I think I should search.
I never flashed your boot.img on custom roms only on the stock. I have better WiFi with stock.

LOLOLOL! That guy is something! I mean the guy who created the v6 script. Yes, I think his concept is right on. I may borrow some of his tweaks like app grouping and oom/minfree. I've done similar adjustments when I was still using my G1/Dream, but with Amaze with de-bloated ICS, I am already getting (almost, if not) everything he is promising we can achieve with his script.
The only lag I have is when some background services are busy. But I don't really want to make them low priority (yet).
What do you think you like to achieve using v6? I may be able to help because I myself want to experiment some.

Hey, if you want to try out something cool, check this out.. http://android.mimic.ca/ it patches the services.jar file to change the OOM priority, evidently in a way more effective than the supercharger script can do it. I was going to try to include it in the latest update for my rom till I decided I wanted to work on other things.. the guy who made supercharger script helped design the patch for the file though Just thought you may be interested.

erm... it CAN'T be more effective than supercharging... because it IS SuperCharging
Well, 50% of it. The other 50% comes from the script when on ICS.
Why do you think that website is integrated into the latest V6 Scripts?
That needs to be done in addition to the V6 script when using ICS roms to get 100%.
Of course, non ICS roms get 100% supercharged with the script itself since there's no need to patch services.jar

LOL. Did you search yourself? HAHA. Yes, we are talking about how awesome your scripts are..
I would be using them myself but I can't figure out a setting that really makes it awesome like it did with my old vibrant!
Edit: And thanks for the explanation, that makes more sense than whatever post that lead me to your patch.
what is a modified boot image?
what is the different between the modifed boot image and the android we can download from the developer google site/?
Please read this carefully :
- BASE ROM by Kibuuka AOSP ICS 4.0.4
- PORT ROM from Mazda Team Dirt PARANOIDANDROID v0.2.1 for Supersonic aka HTC Evo 4G and Xylograph ParanoidAndroid for HD2
All the Credit and Donate go to :
1. Mazda [Team Dirt] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714415)
2. Molesarecoming aka PARANOIDANDROID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717079)
3. Xylograph
3. Kibuuka (you know where to find him)
4. Nop (you know where to find him)
5. TheManii (you know where to find him)
Please do me a favour, hit the THANKS button at least for above name list.
As usually, I take no credit at all for this rom because this is not my work, I'm not build this from the source, all I do is take the 2 rom, combine it, then try to make it boot on my device.
The rom from Mazda was made for running on HTC Supersonic, if running on DS5 sure it will have much problem and bugs.
All I can do just fix as much as I can, I'm not have experience in build rom, so do not expect too much on this rom.
I just want to share, not intend anything by making this, just have fun and feel excited when others ICS rom can running on my old device.
So lets have fun.

Yep, was able to flash it too. Preferred the CM9 ROM though! To each his own, I guess!
i always thought that this rom is nice... and ... it is nice..

Unless OP silently updated, I cannot confirm this.
What I mean is that it installed fine for me with CWM 6.0, though the way it mounts isnt the preferred way long term.
If anything it shouldnt be compatable with streakmod as it's using the newer format/mount syntax (it's rather complicated in how recoveries read the update scripts).
GApps is also included in it, perhaps you should remove it and point users to a Gapps package, either mine or the 'official' CM one.
ParanoidAndroid is a source based rom isnt it?
We do (preferrably) need a source port instead of a hackport as the rom still thinks it's an EVO
Perhaps when Kibuuka gets AOSP more closer to working 100%, we'll have more people building from source instead of hackports.
Unlike the S7/S10 CM9 ports (and this port of paranoidandroid), all the ICS based ones are currently hackports.
The S5 is terribly slow compared to the S7, it has the ram and nand space to run the newest roms, but the cpu is simply overwhelmed by new apps/stuff.
It's still plenty usable, but 1st gen snapdragons simply cant compare to 3rd/4th gen snapdragons (and their equivilent Exynos/Tegra chips).
It doesnt make it useless though, I still use my S5 ocasionally even though my S7 is pretty much better in every way (except size)
Edit: after reviewing this rom with Quadrant, it seems that the IO score is unusually low. This might explain why my S5 seems so slow with it installed, if it really is IO bottlenecked it could be bottlenecking the entire system.
The other scores are comparable with AOSP/ICS, but PA is signifigantly slower even though I did a fac reset before installing.
Hmm.. it seem that baseband ignorance patch is not working.. it gives blink to the light panel... lol... i am using 366bb to see how the call quality goes and it seems fine.. is there anyway to make the ignorance patch work? I pretty much like this rom and the lags is almost gone too..

You named it hackport was exactly what I did, honestly this is the first step of porting rom (make it can boot up then see how stable it run) after that there are others step more, I skipped it
I think when the base rom hit something like beta stage, there should be a lot of changes, on that time better to port from the beginning again to hv a better result
On supersonic, we used to put Papasmurfs script (found in HTC supersonic forum) then should hv good result, I hv tried it and rom show much better performance, but browser and gmail fc. (I choose I/O scheduler = SIO).
Sorry for the "Evo" things show up
I hv changed the strings.xml on values folder but always stuck when compile framework-res.apk.
Tried every method and apktool (apktool1.4.2/apktool1.4.3/apktool1.4.3.1/apkmanagers for ics/new aapt from android sdk) found on google still no go.

If you simply use pull the our AOSP build's drivers, I'd imagine that rebuilding shouldnt be too difficult as all the hard work is making the drivers work.
It would be similar to a hackport in that you dont build everything, but it means you dont have to worry about missing those strings
We'd lose device specific stuff like dock detection, but those dont work in the first place.
Kibuuka already has the device tree up on his git repo, you could prob just use that and it'd work with a couple changes at most (hopefully, and under the assumption that you can compile android in general)
AFAIK the 'official' apktool doesnt work on API15 apks, it only supports up to API14 (4.0.1-4.0.2).
Someone's supposedly made a mod to support API15, but I havnt tried it.
Hi good work i flashed the rom and it works perfect on my ds5 but just one problem the lights for the 3 softkeys on the ds5 stays on even when you turn the screen off did i do something wrong? Please advice thanks
That's problem on every ics rom for dell streak

I know there are a couple posts out there on how to fix this, but this is one of the most legitimate ways to fix the multitasking issue we have all come to know and hate on Android devices running Sense. If you don't want to install a whole new ROM, such as MEANROM, you don't have to! This is a small guide to using the V6 SuperCharger script by Zeppelinrox. I know the amount of steps seems like a lot, but it's really not that many. Most of the steps will be followed by just reading what you see on the screen and accepting the recommended option!
Zeppelinrox said:
What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

So, everything you need to know or want to know can be found at Zep's original thread here. There is a lot of information, and because he is so technical, I think that sometimes his instructions can be hard to read for some, so I thought I would put together a VERY SIMPLE GUIDE to give you guys a hand. You can find the best instructions from him under Installing/Using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
On to the instructions...
How To Use Supercharger
Please only proceed if you are rooted and have busybox
Download script manager from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en
Download zep's latest V6 Script (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC11_Test_6.sh.pdf): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
remove the .pdf extension (should now end in .sh) and place on your phone /sdcard (you can use rom tool box or estrongs to rename the file)
At this point, I highly recommend you make a nandroid through TWRP or CWM. The script has a built-in undo feature, which works well, but I still think we all know this is best.
Open up Script manager on your phone. Make sure to check 'Browse as Root' Option
Navigate to the location wher you placed the V6 .sh script
Click the Skull/Crossbones to run as root. This should turn green. NOTE: DON'T USE THE BOOT OPTION
Hit Run
At this point, get ready for an onslaught of text. Don't be afraid and try your best to read even though much of it may not make sense!
You may be asked about your launcher. Answer the question correctly for your setup.
Any time you are asked to press Enter, go ahead and proceed. This is the last time I will tell you to hit Enter for most occasions.
Pick your scrolling speed. I recommend slow or normal the first time you do this, so you can keep up.
On the kernel panic screen, I recommend choosing the Rock(H)ard Option, so hit H and then enter
Accept the Misc and 3G tweaks by hitting Y
Feel free to keep or disable the annoying animation (the scrolling V6 at the beginning of the script)
Hit Y(es) for SuperMinFree Calculator settings. This is an automatic calculation. You can change this later when you get more confident. Many will choose the 1000HP option for our phone (based on available memory)
It will now backup your build.prop and some other system files.
ICS and newer Android services store a lot of the memory tweaks in services.jar. This script will now take you through an ICS patcher. Accept the Automatic Transmission. This will upload services.jar, and download the patched one.
It will eventually tell you that it needs to wipe your caches and restart. You will definitely want to do this. You will need to wait 4-5 minutes while it rebuilds your Dalvik Cache
Almost done! After your phone boots up and stabilizes, go back into Script Manager. Navigate to /data/99Supercharger script. Check the SU (skull/crossbones) and check the boot option.
Zepelinrox said:
- Stock ROMs - It also creates /data/99SuperCharger.sh which you can load up on boot (run as root) with Script Manager. The OOM groupings work as well since it happens on boot in local.prop or build.prop (18 entries added)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot your phone and now your phone will run the supercharger script on startup. If you ever want to verify that your script is working, or if you want to mess with any of the extra options (including removal), run the original V6 shell script you downloaded as root, just like we did at the beginning. This will tell you if you are 100% optimized and give you a whole menu of options to play with!
I can actually open multiple apps now and go back to the first one without it having to reload. Waze is the best example. If I ever switched out and then back, it always had to reload...not anymore! Again, this all seems like a lot, but it's really pretty easy once you give it a shot!
Let me know if anything is unclear so that I can adjust this OP to help others.
Make sure to give Zep a 5 Star Rating in his OP and also give him thanks, he is the man!
Reserved just in case.
ok i need to correct you on one of your steps...DO NOT SELECT THE BOOT OPTION FOR THE SCRIPT. IT COULD CAUSE YOUR PHONE TO BOOT LOOP. only select run as root. it even tells you that on the guide that zeppelinx put in his thread.
edit: sorry for caps but i wanted to point this out before someone made this mistake

You have to run /data/99Supercharger as root and give it boot option or it won't be applied at boot. But you are right, if you are worried, you could just run it as root the first few times. I personally always set this one to boot as well. If you had to, you could always adb in recovery, and remove /data/Supercharger if you are having problems.
*EDIT
This is mostly a concern for ROMS/Kernels that utilize /etc/init.d but I will add this caveat to the OP

if the rom uses init.d then the script will install a service to the init folder and it will auto load when then phone is restarted, no need to try and force it to run. also if it is a stock rom (with the script manager program) you can set the 99supercharger to run after boot as a task.

What you are saying is exactly the point I made in the OP. Is this unclear? You should only ever run 99Supercharger on boot, not the original V6Supercharge Script. And yes, this is geared mostly towards stock users, who do not have init.d support and therefore need SManager to run the boot script for them.

i understand what you are saying but the boot symbol next to the run ass root symbol in the script should not be checked. if you need it to run at boot the script manager program can do that for you, by setting up a scheduler when you reboot. after boot it will run the script but not during
p.s. let me re-read what you put so i am just not looking stupid lol. i think i need a nap
edit: yea if you need it to run at boot do it through the script manager program and set it up to schedule it to load the script after your phone is already booted to avoid any potential boot loops (but dont check the boot logo at the top left hang corner of the actual script itself

Can you post the steps to describe how you personally do boot scripts with SManager?
After Android starts up, it will send a boot intent to all apps registered to receive such an intent. This is where SManager is allowed to execute any scripts you have marked with the boot option. This happens much later than a traditional /etc/init.d start script, but is no less effective. Please let me know how you mark scripts as bootable and I can add that recommendation as well. Thanks.

1. open script manager
2. click menu
3. click more
4. click advanced options
5. click scheduler
6. click add new task
7. click select file
8. navigate to 99supercarger file the script created and click on it
9.you can from there click on boot (inside the file you just clicked on)
10. click save
it will boot the script after the phone is done booting, to prevent the possibility of boot looping. you can also create an event to do an engine flush however often you want (i do one at midnight everyday)
This gets executed at the same time during system boot as the method I mentioned. Both are valid. Thanks for the feedback!

i thought you were saying click the boot thing during install ....i am sorry haha i got really tired all of a sudden and stuff wass getting jumbled together...
v6 works awesome though i have been using it for about 1 year now on this phone and my old evo
Also, for anyone that gives this a shot, please post back with your results!
Not to be "that guy" buuuut the effects of v6 at least from my experience with this phone (again fresh frombcustoms preorder release) the day i got it i was rooted and installed v6 because ive used it on all my prior evos since i found it probably right around when zep released lol...anyways on this phone its a strictly placebo effect and actually created more lag and launcher reloads...i was running the 1000hp option and tried the i believe 750hp whatever the one down from 1000 is anyways both of them gave me same results and once i removed the script all was good in the hood as they say lol...but if its working for yall then maybe zep fixed some ish for this problem and i didnt know about it...well this epic runon sentence is finished sorry for the length and useless points
Sent from the depths of hell
yea i also used it on my og evo and i just put it on last night again on this one, tried the 750 option and 1000 option. today at school my memory got so low it locked my phone, that never happened with mean rom and the tweaks he puts in. undoing the supercharge now.

It's definitely helps with multitasking. I can keep apps open in the background much easier. Problem is that it chokes out the available ram for running apps, so it can make it feel sluggish. I think it's overtweaking the mem settings.
