[HOW-TO]Make Live Wallpapers Smoother! - GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps

[HOW-TO]Make Live Wallpapers Smoother! - GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps

So I was searching around the Internet to find a way to make live wallpapers smoother. And I found a tutorial on another forum, tried it, and it worked like a charm, so I decided to post the tutorial on XDA Developers. Credits for this go to boimkun, a member of the Symbianize forum.
If you don't make to waste time on making the script, I have uploaded mine for you. Download the script
Requirements:
-Root access
-An application for making scripts (in this tutorial we are using GScript)
-Live wallpapers
Tutorial:
1. Open GScript
2. Click Menu, and then click "Add script"
3. Tick "Needs SU" if it's not ticked
4. Set the script name, and type in the text box below:
Code:
renice -15 `pgrep android.process.acore'
Note: "android.process.acore" stands for your launcher process name. You can use android.process.acore for ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro
5. Save the script and execute it
You must run the script on every boot.
Optional (I haven't tried this, but works very smooth without this as well):
boimkun said:
Maybe you want to try to renice the live wallpaper too (this may slow it down, I would not suggest to do it). To do this
- launch the terminal
- write 'ps' then press enter
- will appear a list of processes. here you should find one that has a name similar to the LWP you're using (for example, I'm using Pixel Zombies Infection and the process name is haydenTheAndroid.liveWallpaper.pixelZombies)
now you can renice it either from terminal or from GScript.
To renice from terminal:
- check the number *** which the process has in the PID row. You have to remember this number
- write 'su' then press enter. now you have root privileges
- write 'renice N ***' where N is the nice number you want (20=minimum priority ; -20=maximum priority, which you obviously don't want). You can set it to 20 to give the LWP the minimum priority
To renice from GScript go in the script you already created and add a similar line, by substituting "-15" with "20" and the process name with your LWP's process name.
You should now see an increased smoothness when scrolling homescreens and app drawer

That was all for this tutorial. Please post a comment, whether this script works for you or not.

It won't work alongside the loop smoothness tweak right?

I don't know about that, because I don't use that tweak. But you can try.

just so u know. i put the command line in etc/init.d and give proper permission and the live wallpaper works really well.
though i only use multipicture live wallpaper but it loads automatically now after reboot and it scroll smoother.

SCRIPT: NookColor Auto Config

This script is not compatible with NookColor software 1.01. I will probably not be updating it. All of my work on Gmail, the Market, GTalk, and this script has been rolled into GabrialDestruir's AutoNooter sdcard image. I recommend using AutoNooter as it provides everything my script does with one less step and fewer requirements (like Linux).
UPDATE 12/15/10 - Version 1.2
ADDITIONS
* Modified Droid X Multitouch Keyboard
* Working Google Talk
UPDATE 12/13/10 - Version 1.1
BUG FIXES
* YouTube would sometimes fail to install because the package manager was not running
* Device might reboot in the middle of the script leaving the process incomplete
I wrote a linux script that will automatically do the following:
* Enable APK installs directly on the device
* Enable Live Wallpapers
* Enable Multitouch for certain apps (Google Maps, etc)
* Download and extract the Google Apps (Market, Gmail, etc) to the proper place on your NC and set permissions
* Download and install Youtube
* Edit build.prop and packages.xml to enable Gmail and Market, and Talk
* Generate an AndroidId for the Market. The Android emulator is no longer required.
* Modify the fingerprint of your device to emulate a Verizon Droid Eris running Android 2.1. This will let you access protected apps in the Market that would be otherwise hidden. (SlingPlayer is one)
Requirements:
* Already nootered and have Superuser
This script is intended automate much of the process after the first two requirements are met. I recommend a complete wipe, followed by nooter and z4root and then my script last.
If you are using a version of the SDK older than r08 (Android 2.3) make sure to open the script in a text editor and follow the instructions at the top.
You will need to connect the NookColor via USB. Be sure to eject both the 4gb internal partition (/media) and the sdcard from your OS before running my script!
From a terminal, cd to your adb directory and run these commands:
wget http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/NookColor-Config
chmod +x NookColor-Config
sudo ./NookColor-Config
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press the Home button on your device. If you get the Google Setup Wizard, skip the sign in. Run the YouTube app and hit menu->My Channel. Log in with your Gmail account and press the Home button. Reboot device.
Gmail and the Android Market should work.

Awesome. Thank you!
I'll try before restore mi NC...
Edit:
can anyone help with the terminal stuff?
What terminal application is recomended and what settings are neccesary to input those lines?
thanks!

Are you running windows or linux? The commands listed here will likely only run under linux... and maybe cygwin?

I'm running windows...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

Need a linux partition set up then methinks
idk if Cygwin would work properly with adb, too much stuff to go wrong imo.

I am assuming since it will think it is a Verizon Droid Eris then the NFL app will work also? This will be awesome since I watched part of the eagles game last night on the way home from my hockey game.

Awesome job...

I'm going to work on a Windows version of this script.

Adb push in cygwin may work if you use nt paths, but I have yet to try. It fails using posix paths for the source.

You need to have the path to the sdk in your bash_profile.

It seemed to work fine other than the live wallpapers bit, but nothing happens when I hit the home button.

My experience is once the settings.db change is applied for the App Install mod, the home button no longer works to return you to the home screen. I haven't figured out why yet unless it is a permissions issue on the settings.db file
EDIT: This is for the native NC Launcher. If you choose a Launcher replacement I don't think this is an issue.

windows version. Version 5 still buggy. Please hold off until I get a really universally working version

WOW,
thank you. I'll try it ASAP.

Got it! Thanks

I do use this script, and I can say that it is a success!
1.0.2 Using the MiniCM6 Nobodyatall!

One of the best roms in Big X10 xda land "Wolfbreaks" uses this.
I hope the roms here start using it... It rapes!

I must say.. this is works very well on my mini with MiniCM 2.0.5 GingerBread
Before: Active launcher and Zeam launcher is redraw everytime I finish to play NFS Shift or even after I open Application manager
After: No redraw (Active Launcher and Zeam) when finished playing Angry Birds, NFS Shift and other RAM eater games
Great ..

So I tried this script, and now my launcher is hard to kill / supercharged
but then after reboot it still says my launcher is hard to kill, but also that my prior minfrees don't match my current minfrees.
it then shows my curent minfrees as the default minfrees and the prior as what i selected. is that supposed to happen?
I mean exactly as the screenshot moedjs posted
like isn't it supposed to set current minfrees to what i selected, and not to default?

It works badass!

I did not understand the installation
ops , I did find a help, sorry

hey guys, does this works in SE android firmware 2.1?
Another question, in a tutorial it says :
P.S. When Installing Programs, MAKE SURE Script Manager are installed on PHONE and NOT in the MicroSD Card!
I have app2sd installed already , how can I do this? thanks

can someone who tried this give his values and his results?
sounds like a great tool
thnx in advance

I have the same problem as Carpe-Dimi above regarding new minfrees not sticking after reboot, although the Launcher is "Hard to kill".
I used option 6 in the script set up.
I followed help file advice to have Script Manager run /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "at boot" and "as root" but problem persists.
Otherwise seems to work fine at keeping launcher in memory. I don't see any boost in Quadrant Score... or any other noticeable improvements to be honest.
MiniCM 7 is pretty good as it is
Any advice on settings or getting minfrees to stick?

Anyone know if it works on mini pro?
That number 1-17 is best for my phone?

there are config files in the ramdisk.tar (can't remember name atm, but they are init.rc files) that have lines regarding the setting of ram optimizations.
however. these are definatley meant to do the same as the script, but the values in them don't correspond to the ones the script readsout, so I'm thinking another script runs on top of that which overrides those values again.
that's just a theory tho, since I can't edit the ramdisk file as I dunno how to set the permissions back when unpacking and repacking ramdisk.tar but I'll get back when I find out.
as for the launcher being bulletproof, that definately makes the home button respond a lot faster ^^

Somewhere in the original post it says that in some Custom Roms the minfrees won't stay after reboot so you HAVE TO select 'run at boot' for it to stay.
edit: From original post:
Note: For some reason, the minfree levels do not stick on some Custom ROMs. I don't know why this is. Maybe a bug in GingerBread?
........ You can check /res/user.log to see if it ran...
........ If this happens to you, use Script Manager to load /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "on boot" and "run as root"
And I also have a question(just like the one 2 above)
What is the best one to choose (1-17)?
ThankYou

I tried:
'........ If this happens to you, use Script Manager to load /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "on boot" and "run as root"'
and still could not get values to stick
Has anyone else tried this and had more luck?

how do you install this.. i could not understand

u r correct...the memory free settings are modified by some file not located in ram disk...i have examined the init.rc files and ramdisk settings are quiet different form the one that is set in the roms during runtime
now only if v knew what that file was!!!

The values are not equal with me, but I noticed a big improvement!
I am using the following values in the original 6,8,16,20,22,60 MiniCM6 Froyo!
It must have some kind of file it impossible values are equal, but it works it works!

I have done for mine and is awesome...

[Discussion]CM 7 - Optimal Configuration Thread - MINICM 7 - UPDATED 22/09/2011

Hi,
I think in making this thread to discuss what is the optimal configuration for our beloved x10 minis/pros/x8
Best configuration, in my opinion, is when you can use the phone with maximum free memory(so, no lag), the maximun batery duration(so, no overclock and yes undervolt).
These options are completly harm free, if you dont like them you may just undo and be happy, no system files are harmed.
THESE WORKS ALSO WITH X8 and X10 mini pro. These three is the very same phone specs with diferente body shape.
The
Here is goes my configurations:
Cyanogenmod menu/ Performance.
CPU Configuration:
Governor Interactive X(it scales a lot the processor power, keepin it as mutch as possible in low frequencies without performance loss)
Undervolt Ticked
set on boot Ticked
Jit Ticked
allow purging of assets Ticked
Spare Parts program
Windows Animations FAST
Transition Animations FAST
Font Size EXTREMILY LARGE(im a bit blind, )
Programs That eat resources continuously
The is some of them bundled in rom.
I delete all, prefering programs that dont restart itself and eat the few phone resources.
Deleted:
DSP Manager
Gmail
Google Maps
Latitude
FOTA KILL (gOOGLE OVER THE AIR UPDATES)
Pico TTS (text to speech program/interface - if ypu arent blind u dont need it)
Voice Dial
Voice Search
Update:
Supercharger v8 Memory optimize script.
1 Download SCRIPT MANAGER FROM MARKET
2 Go to this thread and download SuPERCHARGER SCRIPT
3 Open program, load the script, Tick option run as ROOT.
4 in program dialog, type "1(fast)" and "enter"
5 In main Dialog, type "2" agressive one" and "enter"
6 Hit back button, click in run in background.
7DONE
Now i get a very Stable phone, fast as hell, with regulary 59mb free ram resources, no lag, batery lasting 1 day of heavy use and one day and a half of mediun use. BENCHMARK with ATUTU: 1608. As it should be.

link added to my FAQ, thx for this
any tests are welcome

compcache works only if you have nAa04 and miniCM7-2.1.2
it will increase RAM (virtually) but uses CPU to "zip-unzip" the data in the compcached RAM part

Noot Tablet - Easy root & Market on MAC (1 download, 1 script to run)

UPDATED 12/23
---------------------------
1) Added automatic fixing of devicemanager.apk sql databases to prevent OTA root (thanks for the SQL tweak suggestions, Indirect)
2) Added otaban.sh script for those who are already rooted and just want to tweak the sql databases (you will need to put your device back in USB debug mode)
3) Added getroot.sh to just dump the nook back in to rooted/adb mode
INSTRUCTIONS
(Please follow these to the letter; over 500 people have downloaded this script and very few have reported issues)
On the NOOK
Disconnect from USB
Factory restore & initial setup
Browse to this:
http://goo.gl/vTNpJ
Click on notifications center, wait for the file to finish downloading.
Press on downloaded go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk file
Select Complete action using package installer
It should say "install blocked"
Press settings
Tick unknown sources (press ok)
Pick Development
Tick USB debugging (press ok)
Tick the other USB debugging further down
Untick Automount
Back/Back
Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging connected" in notifications center
On the MAC
Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip file from http://goo.gl/qyYDB
Open Terminal, and change in to the directory where the zip file was downloaded. Unzip and cd in to the directory created. EG:
Code:
[B]cd ~/Downloads
unzip nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip
cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.6[/B]
Start the rooting script:
Code:
[B]./go.sh[/B]
Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly. Also don't connect via a USB Hub.
When the script is finished, it should say "Done. Unplug from USB now"
The Nook will reboot.
You are now rooted and the following is auto-installed for you
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
In addition, some tweaks have been made to prevent OTA updates from working, preserving your root state.

trying this now..
thanks a lot! i spent 2 hours last night trying to get the other method working and it gave me the headache of the gods.
edit: that mediafire link is crawling for me (dl is at like .2kb/s) can anyone mirror it for others who may have similar issues?

Thanks for the tutorial. It works extremely well!

This worked great, thanks!
I had one minor glitch. I was doing this on an old MBP running Leopard and for whatever reason it wouldn't create the ~/.android directory when I ran the script.
I created the directory manually and re-ran the script and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!

I created the directory manually and re-ran the script and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!

Ah, I just looked at the script, I realized now I missed out the mkdir -p ~/.android in it, hence your issue. I will likely fix that and update the script/zip file when I get a minute.
I'm currently considering whether to make the script install busybox at the moment. I don't really need it myself, but I see other people might.
Part of the problem is that if I develop the script any further I ought to test it before releasing it... but I really don't want to keep re-rooting my nook. I want to actually use the damn thing!!

I totally get that. I had just gotten done side-loading tons of stuff and getting my launcher screens setup the way I wanted and then I saw your script and thought about it for a day before breaking down and wiping my NT and starting over.
It was worth it! Thanks again!

I'm confused... rooting on PC using other method didn't work for me and now I'm stumped on Mac as well.
This part stumped me:
unzip it
cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory
mkdir -p ~/.android
./go.sh
Can someone explain the steps in greater detail? I tried runing the adb fiel via terminal, it goes through the script but does nothing on installing files to the device.
Thanks.

Minor problems encountered
I followed the directions and it mostly worked. First, had the problem with the missing:
[ ! -d ~/.android ] && mkdir ~/.android
Then I wasn't sure about the step where it says to click on the golauncher icon in the notifier. I clicked on the LauncherPro.apk entry and choose the package installer. That seemed to work but I'm not sure that's what you meant.
Then found out I should have unplugged the USB cable before rebooting otherwise the launcher chooser is covered by some wrning message. (I can't remember the exact wording now.)
Installed Button Savior. Not sure what that does. I can't figure out where it's suppose to be on the screen.
And worst of all, LauncherPro keeps crashing on me, dumping me back into native Nook mode. That requires a reboot.
But despite all that, I'm happy and will now probably keep my NT.
Big thanks!!

Launcher: that's what I meant.
Unplug: if you dont before you reboot it probably wants to media sync
Button savior: installs a tiny button on the right of the screen. Gets you back/home
LAUNCHER: certain things crash for me. Cant change dock shortcuts for example
I'm sure this will all get smoother in time. Pretty good already though.

Thanks. I found the little tiny button savior icon while trying out an ssh client. It shows up well on a black background.
And that does make it real easy to get back and forth between Android and Nook. Thanks again for making this easy and the button savior recommendation.
I may have to break down and try the Amazon store now.

Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging enabled" in notifications center
On the MAC
Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.4.zip file
unzip it
cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory
mkdir -p ~/.android
./go.sh
Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly.
On the NOOK
Click on Notification center again, and press on the Golancher Icon again. Install the Goauncher
Reboot
After reboot, slide to unlock and it should ask "complete action using..". Pick LauncherPRO
Open Marketplace which should be on the launcher screen
Sign in with your google credentials, attach the device to your account
Install button savior from the Marketplace.
Browse to amazon.com/app-email
Click notifications and watch for Amazon appstore apk download
Click and install.
You should now be live with Android Market & Amazon Market.

Hey! Noob here. Thanks so much for this! Just have a few questions...is this a permanent fix? I currently have the amazon appstore, but not android, so is this going to be set up the same way (i.e. have to click search and then go launcher to find the apps)?
When I connect to my mac, the usb debugging prompt will come up right away (like the screen for file xfer normally does)?
After unzipping, are those instructions to enter into the mac's terminal command prompt? Sorry, that's where u lost me! Is "cd" short for something? Thanks again for your help. Just want to make sure I do this right the first time. I think swype is the first thing I will install. Hating this keyboard!!!

First, I want to openly thank t-r-i-c-k for this. Even with little to no knowledge of this kind of stuff, after futzing with terminal for a while I got it to work in two tries. Finally, freedom from another lock-in service/device. But I am having a little glitch that I don't understand.
It's intermittent, but now and then I'm getting a crash on the launcher. It happens when trying to adjust settings/preferences. No big deal as it comes right back, and maybe its the app itself. Anyone else facing this?

I installed the ADW Launcher because LauncherPro wouldn't let me change the dock shortcuts. ADW is letting me modify just about everything--dock shortcuts, icons, etc., without issue.
I get an occasional crash but not as many as before.

Fix Multitasking and Reduce Lag

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.

Sorry everyone.

no thanks man for helping out, i just think this phone doesnt do well with it, and that may be because of how HTC changed the multitasking settings themselves. it may conflict with v6

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.
