Hello,
I installed the new 3.3.4 rom and I wanted to install the v6 SuperCharger and after following all the steps and rebooting I go into the script and it says that its weak, and that values dont match supercharge.
The only thing that i did not see on the instructions nor remember how to do is activate a script and set it to run at boot.
Anyone running the script on the new rom, please help me a little bit.

is the script that runs on boot running on boot?
It does not seem like it is.
First make sure you have buisybox 1.18 or lower installed. Second load up script manager and and at the top hit "..." twice. Then hit menu and options and choose browse as root. Then select the data folder then choose 99supercharger. Check run as root and run at boot. For dx2 at least running eclipse 0.2.2 option 9 in supercharger runs it the best. Option 9 should be megaram with 512mb. There are two it should be the second one. Im running update 8 so im not sure which option it is anymore.
Also you mean you are running the ATRIX 2.3.4 right? If so has the audio problem been solved with that? That's the main thing I want to know with that rom since it has android 2.3.4 on it.

well im not sure what you are running but make sure that either /system/etc/init.d is being run on boot
I followed the directions, but when I go into data there is no file 99etc... to run at boot.
Did you first run supercharger. Run it but don't reboot the x2. And make sure you are browsing as root. You choose that in the options of script manager. Also are you running buisy box with 1.18?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
running busybox 1.18.1
Tried it like four times, and no go.
do you have root?
Are you using script manager? Cause that just odd. Just to be sure you're going to "/data" as browsing as root in script manager and scrolling down to the end of that file and not choosing the other data folder to make it "/data/data" cause it should be there as long as you first ran v6 supercharger and chosen which ever option that 99supercharger script should have been made.
I say unsupercharge. Delete scriptmanager and reinstall it and then try again just to see id there was a glitch. If this doesn't help then your pretty much out of luck. But I thought navens. Mods where included in the rom so you shouldn't need it(could be wrong).

Its weird because I had been able to run supercharger on eclipse, I will keep diging around to see what I can find.
Just a question... Isn't supercharger unnecessary for 2.3.3 and above?
Sent from my Droid X² Eclipse Rom + BNB Theme
I have the same problem, and no its not the users. I don't think it is working correctly. Or at least not placing the files where they are normally found.
if you run the 99supercharger script that is suppose to run at boot as root then rerun the "installer" script are the mem splits correct?

its quite usefull just not so much for music on stock gb blur. it gives you a faster boot and screen transission but thats about it on blur.
on elcipse 0.2.2 if you use v6 supercharger (update8 option 9), 98kickasskernal safe and v6noop nearly got rid of all the music skips and pops. about three songs per 85 on my playlist skips or pops if im not doing anything other then listen to music and it will only skip once if its the first time i opened the internet and then runs fine. but the 3 songs are complete random. and sometimes it goes to 5 songs.
without them running this phone skips, pops on nearly every single song on my 85 song playlist (i have 2 gb of music on my phone this is just my most used playlist).
so it makes a difference just not much on blur as it does on eclipse.

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.

oh trust me i want to be on CM7 or MIUI, but i CANNOT get around the SD mount error. i have another thread about it. i have tried everything and nothing works. i was thinking of ordering a smaller 8 gig card to try and see if its my cards, what class/type card should i get just to install and MTD rom?? i cant CM7 and MIUI bad
Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.
Hi,
I saw this script the other day and was wondering if it was able to be installed onto the Legend. I tried to run it in Terminal Emulator but the only thing it said was "Note: Busybox v1.16.2 or Higher is Recommended!" leading me to believe it doesn't work on the Legend. Has anyone else been able to use this script?
Thanks
What rom you trying to install it to? The busy box just needs an update, go to market and get busy box update app and use it to update, then try it again, I have used it successfully on the legendary legend fuse rom. Too lazy to try it on the ics I'm using
P.s. I think you need s-off or unlocked bootloader 1.02 to use it.
sent from my legend, currently using zeubea ics beta0
I'm running ExtremeLegendFuse. I've tried 2 BusyBox updater apps from the Play Store and they just dont load or sit at one step. I have 1.02 unlocked bootloader as well. I'm really stumped by this problem. Is the V6 Script worth it?

OK
I believe that busy box can be installed in different locations, not sure what circumstances this is, either in /system/bin or /system/xbin, well that's the options given by the version of busy box installer I've got, the one by Stephen sericson
Try both locations and see which works for you.
The other question "is it worth it" well I can't personally say I noticed any real speed increase or any other benefits, however, others may do themselves.
sent from my legend, currently using zeubea ics beta0
I've used the script back then with extreme legend fuse rom. Try download Busybox installer from the market and choose busybox version 1.82.xx.
Bout is it worth it questions i thinks its worth it. Less lag and buttery smooth for me
Sent from my Legend using XDA
Yes, it's worth it. I used it on the Gingerbread Sense ROM. No more Sense redraws and better multitasking. Though after a few days, things tended to get sluggish, so I would let it reboot and everything feels snappy again. The engine flush option didn't do much here.
Busybox
I used Stericsons' Busybox from the market, works perfectly. 1.19.something. (Or use the attached busybox in the script's topic)
S-off / Unlocked
Ranger4740 is right about the need to have write access to the system partition: you need either s-off or an unlocked 1.02 bootloader.
Scrolling speed in script
Personally I hate Script Manager, Terminal Emulator works just fine. Make sure you set the scrolling speed to fast. There is plenty of time to see what's going on, so no need to set it to slow or medium unless you have a serious form of dyslexia
V6 Supercharger on ICS
The script is not usable on ICS in a way it was on GB. "ICS doesn't read ADJ values from build.prop or local.prop - they are hardcoded into services.jar"
This services.jar can be modded, but your ROM has to be deodexed. 99,9% of Legend users on ICS use Zeubea's ROM, which is odexed. Instructions to mod the services.jar in odexed ROMs can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16635544&postcount=2
I have a problem. When I open BusyBox Free by Stericson, after it does initial checks, it comes up with a message that says:
I am unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device. You can try to install Busybox regardless, but it may fail. This problem could be caused by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured

Also, when I try to open Script Manager, it just gives me a black screen. I think I might just reflash the ROM as my Wifi isn't working either :/
EDIT: I reflashed Fuse and everythings working, Wifi and the V6 script.
Since I keep getting msgs from people asking me how I have optimized my Xperia S for less lag and such, I thought I would make a thread teaching others all I know. First a little background info.
I have used a HTC Hero for 3 years before I got this phone, so I know a few things about optimizing and getting the most out of old hardware. This means that I am quite versed in memory management, deleting unneeded apks and proper overclocking for maximum effect and battery life. I hope to install my knowledge upon others so we can stop getting noob threads like "I have less than 1gb of ram" or "ICS lags so I am going back to gingerbread, you suck Sony!".
Before we start, if you have used any of the older kernels with old CWM versions, those versions of CWM can bork your data or system. This leads to root issues, apps still showing after clearing, unable to mount partitions in CWM and any other number of issues. To fix this i recommend flashing a stock Sony ICS firmware, then fastbooting the latest version of Advanced Stock Kernel. This will give you a nice clean slate to work with. Also you can make a backup of stock firmware to roll back to if you have problems.
Now off to the races.
Build.prop tweaks
there are plenty of build prop tweaks out there, but here are the ones i use. I will continue to update this list as I try new stuff

Memory Management/Free Ram - Many many people complaining about free RAM just don't understand how it works. In any efficient modern OS (Windows 7, ICS) free ram is wasted ram. I theory you should be using your free space to preload resources you might possibly be needing or using them to run a variety of apps and such. The only time where you would really need a large amount of free RAM would be when you want to play a game/ use an app which requires a larger amount of memory than is normally required. Sometimes Android will have a problem freeing up this required space which can lead to lag/freezing or even a reboot. If you don't play a ton of games, then don't worry about having a ton of free RAM. Secondly, more lag is created by the OS needing to resart an app or service (ie Home launcher) than if it needs to kill an app to free RAM. This is why you get Home redraws which lag for a split second, because the OS has killed off the home and it is restarting it. So less free RAM generally means less lag.
PS. Android takes up space for the system and this space is not shown on the ram usage screen. This means that if you have a device that says 1gb of RAM, the free RAM may show only 600mb. Don't freak out, this is normal all devices have it though it varies depending on skinned versions of android and which android version it is using (ie ICS uses more ram than previous versions).
How to fix Android Memory Management - Android memory management has made massive steps forward from how terrible it used to be, but it is still not optimal to say the least. We can help fix this by running a script by our not so friendly XDA member Zepplinrox.

Go to this link and read everything that you can comprehend before reading my explanation. This can be tricky and can force bootloops so make sure you back up with Nandroid.
Step Zero - Get script manager off the market. Run as root
Step One - Download the kit and the latest Supercharger Script
Step Two - Run the kit, generally on the ROMS i have tried at least, you dont need to install a new busybox or root version so skip those.
Step Three - Run the auto mode in the script or Download the automatic patcher which patches your smali files and pushes over the new services jar required for locking the home in memory. (alternatively you can do it the hard way with the smali patcher script but I dont recommend it)
Step Four - Run the script and read through things. It should make sense but ask me if you need help.
Step Five - Clean and Reboot. Sometimes it can freeze on first boot, hold vol up and power to restart. This latest script is still in testing so you may have issues but it is certainly better than the original setup.
I love the Sh1t out of supercharging and have used it for years.
Supercharging is really easy on KA17 as the services.jar is already ready to go. Just run the script which fixes oom memory settings and you are done. Dont forget to clean and reboot.
Follow-up- Run a flush engine option in the script which will then create a quick launch script in V6 supercharger directory. Put this on a schedule to run every few hours and you wont have to worry about rebooting your phone as much. Run it as superuser.
Want even less lag? - Delete any unneeded apk files either with a root explorer or Titanium Backup. This way you wont have apps you dont use fighting for memory and cpu. I delete powersaver and the exchange client as I dont use either. Other roms may have much more.
Kernel - Your kernel and kernel settings will make a huge difference in the feel of the device. I recommend XSX v6 (doesnt have crappy CWM). Set it to 1876-30 hotplug and try things out. Not every chip is the same so they all wont run great. My Hero hated the max frequencies, but my Xperia S will take all the way up to 1900 just fine. Choose a scheduler, I use deadline, but CFQ or noop are good too.
Thanks for the helpful info
Btw which setting do you use in the superscript? Aggressive, balanced etc?
does the new v6 supercharger script patch services.odex automatically? because 'im using stock .45 rom, and it is odexed which made it a lot harder to patch in the past
in the past i did the smali edits myself but i just couldn't be bothered doing it with every new stock ICS release

Use the windows patcher or there is a new auto patcher that works pretty good integrated. Check it out.
Windows Patcher for some reason doesnt work for me :/ Btw, which auto patcher are you talking abt? Is it in the script? Which number config?
Btw, if I use a deodexed ROM such as KA ROM, do I have to follow the same steps or are there fewer steps compared? Thanks

Hmm, the windows patcher works good for me. Try the ICS center in the latest version of the script. I use KA rom and have no problems. If you need to I can post an edited services.jar file, but try and see if you can get it to work yourself first.
When I try to run the script it says missing essential tables, what does that mean? Running it without root works until, it asks for root

Its a root problem. What kernel and rom are you on and did you install the root version from the starter kit or not.
V6 supercharger can be a pain to deal with when you havent used it, but hang in there and I will help you with it. Once you figure it out, it is easy to do.

Its probably the stock .45 version. Stock roms can be notoriously difficult to supercharge. I use KA12 and havent had any problems beyond a couple root problems caused by the XSX version with the bad ramdisk.

Hey guys,
I just installed CM7.2 RC1 (2 times now) after a wipe/factory and davlik cache as well and I can't get the Droid X2 second core script to function properly. I used this and knew it was working in Eclipse 2.xx but not on CM7.2 RC1. I've setup the script with the proper permissions in init.d and can even change the /sys/devices/cpu/cpu01/online file to 1 manually, but the script is either not running or something is overwriting whatever the script changes every boot.
Anyone else still running CM7.2 RC1 on a Droid X2 and run the Second Core Script?

I've had some success running the script via script manager, but even when set to run at boot it does not. It does however activate the core when I run it after boot.
Something in CM7.2 RC1 isn't allowing the changing of the online file to 1 instead of 0 for CPU1. I'm thinking people may have been running this script a while ago before the latest RC1 release and may not even know it's not running anymore..?
I dunno, but I give up on activating the second core all the time under CM7.2 RC1 on this Droid X2.
I have found a good work around for those of you who may enjoy more usable space on your screen. With the screen the S4 comes with it only makes sense to use it. Only follow these steps after you are running on Hyperdrive ROM successfully (I am guessing this will work with other roms as long as Xposed Framework can be installed).
Background Work (no major changes yet)
1) Open the app Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Framework Installer
3) Click Install/Update
4) Select the tab 'modules' from the top
5) Check all the boxes you see (I had 3)
4) Click Reboot
Let's get started
1) Reopen Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Per App DPI Settings
3) Select Google Keyboard
4) Turn the switch to ON
5) Enter 160 for DPI, 100 for Font and check the box labeled 'xlarge res'
6) Click save and click yes.
7) Repeat steps 4-6 with the apps Swype and Samsung Keyboard
8) Make sure you followed the above steps then continue
9) Now find an app called Android System from the list and select it.
10) Enter 280 and don't change anything else (I don't know what you would be doing so I stayed away)
11) Click save and click NO.
12) Restart and enjoy.
I went back and changed System UI to 340 as I didn't like how small the notification bar became. Also recommending ExDialer as the stock keypad won't 'stretch' and lastly as a must, look into a good launcher. I am using NOVA Prime.
If you want to undo changes you can simply turn everything 'Off' and click Save and No. Then restart.
Hopefully this helps some!
If I am missing anything or if anyone wants to add more detail let me know! Side note: random but AOSP helper was installed on my device also allowing easy toggle from 3G to 4G with JuiceDefender...

Mods can you list this as a [HOWTO]... sorry left that out.
awesome.. .thank you!
OMG thank you for this, i has given up on how to do anything on it. I did not know how to use Xposed frameworks, this is what i needed, than you very much:good:
Has anyone tried changing the overall system DPI and then changing just the misbehaving Samsung applications back to stock (i.e., Contacts/Dialer, Camera)? I pretty much manually set all of my apps to between 320 and 340, but the Notification dropdown is way too big. (Email and Gmail both at 320 in order to become usable).
This made my launcher grid super tiny and the keyboard is unusable it is so small. I can imagine how some slight DPI adjustment could be good, but this is aweful!
that being said, I will use this method to adjust things how I would like them.
I'm glad it worked well for you guys but both of those changes made things worse for me. I put it back on stock and am very happy with it.
I'm running 320 DPI in my build prop. To fix the dialer I went into the per app DPI and changed the contacts app and phone app to stock 480 DPI and also the calculator app as well. They all run just like stock now no problems at all
Forgot to mention gallery as well

It works fine in HyperDrive RLS 4. Don't try to change the build.prop for the first boot, though. Let it boot once, then change it. Let's just say that the results were a hung device first.
I added clock back to 480 because there are issues with it.. The year view in Calendar is a bit off, but that's the only screen that doesn't work right... The Market works fine at this resolution (360). This is much easier than what I was doing before...
Now Touchwiz can be somewhat usable as it isn't huge gigantic text everywhere (even on the Tiny selection in Screen)
My system ui keeps crashing whenever I change anything related to Android System. Followed the directions but no luck so far.

That's why I just went the other way around and changed build.prop then made things larger as needed. Less problems this way...

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert at this in anyway. This is just how I got it to work...
You said Hyperdrive Build 4 is working for you? I flashed it and have had nothing but troubles so far. It always hangs at SAMSUNG Custom boot screen... I have tried everything and now once I went back to my Nandroid of 3.1 it boots up with no issue, Then I go to reboot through the power menu and it hangs on that screen again.

PS I guess an easier approach also to allow most programs to stay stock would be to allow the android system to stay stock and just change what you need like the launcher...
I had the same problem about system ui... make sure you are pressing NO to the option it gives you and then reboot. I also had some DPIs that the phone just didn't like (240)... everything kept fc'ing...

I had problems with the first two downloads. Then I was able to get one to work early this morning... Also note that it is supposed to be a wipe'd flash, so make sure you do the format data/cache 3 times, then format system... I generally do a flash of the rom first to make sure that there aren't problems, though, before I format system...
I only use 320, 360, and 480's as DPI's on the S4.
Your approach is the way I used to do, but I wanted everything smaller, so every time I installed a program, I changed it to 320/360.. But then I wanted 320/360 to be the overall and only make exceptions for the things that demand stock DPI.
Understood - I didnt wipe to flash as i never did before without an issue. I am downloading stock ODIN now as something is up with my data partition...? It hangs on every second+ boot from restore/install and will not even boot off an install. I will go to stock odin, root, recovery and then install. Also downloading a fresh copy of Hyperdrive RLS4... Thank you for the tips.

Found a better way!
Okay so I am now on RLS 10.2.0...
Download some type of Root file manager... I paid for/use Root Explorer love it.
Navigate to /system and long press build.prop
Find the line that contains screen density =480 and change it to your desired DPI (I am using 280)
From there all apps/everything is changed to that dpi... some stock apps you will have to use xposed to change them back to 480 just to make it work because they show different resolutions horribly.
I followed these steps...

works great! Enjoy.. Also on the Multi DPI stock app post, the only one that works with the Verizion phone is the Gallery S4 v2.zip file... The others I am trying to work with the dev on getting up and running for our phones.
