Hello, I recall a while ago that people were reporting the v6 supercharger was dramatically improving their device performance. I have tried it on my YP-G1CWY/XAA multiple times, but it seams to make zero difference in performance. Has anyone had better results, if so, please list your device specs, and v6 settings.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the script should work better in systems that have small amount of ram. I don't think it will make a difference on the players which doesn't run the phone part of android.
V6 Supercharger is just a lowmemkiller tweak - kind of pointless on devices with plenty of RAM.
Like it's name, it's "all show and no go". In general, the more hyped up something is, the more likely it is to be useless crap.

Not sure if anyone else has tried these tweaks with the atgs2 yet. I used them on my infuse and loved them, so decided to try them on Unnamed and they work great. I definitely notice the phone is faster and more responsive. Doesnt matter but quad scores went up too, my highest was 5,126 while overclocked to 1.6
Do our phones really need this? I can't see any difference

I read that when in cwm you have to flash it twice. first time it aborted 2nd time it went finished. Maybe its just me but i notice a slight difference
Most of those tweaks either don't really do anything, aren't optimized for a device with 1GB RAM, or have potential serious negative side effects.
I believe that acidtweaks disables a bunch of filesystem syncs, which puts it in the "dangerous" category. (I am positive Samsung Adrenaline Shot does...) Of course, he doesn't bother to warn you of this.
If these tweaks were really THAT good with no negative impacts, they'd be Google's defaults.
I personally use these tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
They work great, been using them ever since I had my captivate and wont run a ROM without these.

Those leaks are pointless... They optimize the lowmemkiller for a device with low memory - but that is NOT what our device is, we have 1GB RAM. I'd be surprised if many people have ever triggered the LMK at all on the GSII.
It not just the LMK that gets tweaked. The OOM gets tweak and a lot more that I don't understand. I don't know how you say it useless because I can tell a difference

Is a speed tweak even necesary with this phone? This thing is so fast and smooth, I can't see it getting any faster. Seeing that it's lightning fast right out of the box, I think these tweaks would have to make it significantly faster to even notice. I"m speaking of OS operations only. I"d like to have faster browsing but I think that's more a function of ATT giving us more. The ONLY lag I have is the home button lag that is caused by the voice command. There's a fix but I kinda like VC right now.

All I know is that they have a setting just for devices with a gig of ram

Thanks Entropy I know you from the infuse, you definitely know what your talking about. so you recommend I uninstall the tweaks?
Okey fellow android owners. I've tried them all, the tweaks. But can't say in matter of benchmarks that they've made a total makeover to my score, nore to the feeling I got with the phone in matter of speed etc.
And most of the tweaks I've downloaded are always packages with seveal tweaks inside.
I would like to know, if there was only ONE tweak you could choose, wich one would it be. Wich one has made the most difference in terms of speed, memory or battery saving for you?
Cheers

Well one of the BEST tweaks I've done on my device is install the V6 SuperCharger. Definately helped with Memory, Speed, and overall device Responsiveness.
I had a feeling this would be one of the obvious answers. Though, this might sound weird, on my Xperia Arc S, I don't feel that much of a difference with it installed. :-(
Maybe it's a revert placebo, as when I started to think that the tweaks didn't improve the phone very much, they stopped working ;-)
And as I said in OP, most of the tweaks comes within a packege with several tweaks. This is the case with V6 as it changes several things within the phone.
So, to expand my question even further. If you where to choose on thing the V6 changes, wich setting would it be? The memory? The kernel? 3G supercharger?
Well in essence it affects all of those. But where I see the biggest difference is in the Memory. Or more to the point the Memory Management. My device literally has way more available memory. Also as stated before the responsiveness is much improved.

The one change that's made each phone and tablet more responsive has been zeam launcher.
As the title says, has anyone tried SuperCharger on the Galaxy S3 yet? There have been quite a few recent updates for full ICS support without having to go through any extra hoops. I could SWEAR by SuperCharger when I was on the Epic 4G and it'll be interesting how much more we can push the Galaxy S3 with the tweaks starting to popup.
I think it was a must have on the the OG Epic, however, I've been very pleased with the S3 with no changes from stock, even with power saving limiting the CPU. No lags, no stutters, etc.
I am not convinced it is needed. I played with it quite a bit on my G2x and it made little difference in the benchmarks. The GS3 has a lot more horsepower than the G2x so I would well enough alone until some bullet proof tweaks come our way. I have made the mistake in the past of jumping on unproven tips and tricks and regretted it.
Nothing wrong with SuperCharger and I thank the dev that created it, but I think it may have a bigger impact on phones with fewer resources and power than the GS3.
Our device isn't considered to be powerful anymore. It's became an complete underdog. Thanks to Android's flexibility, you can force to make your phone pretty much fly with several tweaks.
1. Delete as much bloatware as possible.
This is regarded as an easiest, noobiest option to improve your phone's performance. Many OEM apps stays hibernated in the RAM, thus limiting free RAM available to the user and sometimes even stressing NAND too much. In the end, it's the best to keep your phone as clean and deleting useless apps on the fly.
2. Don't install too much apps into NAND memory
Benchmarks shown, that our phone's NAND chip is considered to be rather slow. Since many apps access small amounts of random data pretty much constantly, it's better to have less apps installed on your phone.
3. Avoid using app killers
This is a placebo effect, since Android's memory management is inferior to what app killers are doing. Many apps stays in such state, where they are ready to be launched almost instantly. App killers, however, pretty much screw all the mandatory functions and stresses the phone even more than before. Launcher redraws are rather common occasion when app killer is being used.
4. Use custom kernel
Custom kernels often offer more features and are more optimized to make the use of available hardware. OEMs never seem to mess around with kernels much, since they want to have their product as stable as possible. Devs, however, mess around with kernels and extract almost double the real-time performance.
5. Never fill up your storage completely
The more data is available on the storage, the harder is getting to find it. Since data is laid randomly, it searches for the information location. When there are too much data, it gets harder to find the data needed. Often slower cards, like Class 2 or Class 4, are considered to be the better choice, since those cards are much faster at writing and reading marginal data randomly.
6. Select the I/O scheduler, CPU governor wisely
These things manipulate with the main hardware. The better optimized the governors are, the better the phone will run and won't drain the battery as much. Though keep in mind, that many governors have their own drawbacks.
sioplus is one of the better I/O schedulers. It allows access to random data pretty quickly, which ensures smooth and snappy performance in the system.
ondemand is the most common and is the stapple and the base of many custom governors available today. It's method is pretty simple - whenever phone registers a touch input, it automatically raises the CPU speed to the max. In retrospect, it should give great performance, but it usually suffers from poor response.
7. Play around with Dalvik VM settings
My optimized settings (feel free to use them):
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=6m (size when first launched)
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m (limit of standard app)
dalvik.vm.heapsize=192m (heap for large app)
These settings pretty much controls our multitasking. Each phone has it's own specified settings, so it could run better.
Lowering these settings could majorly improve performance, but it could slow down around, when there too much heavy apps running in the background.
Raising these settings could improve multitasking, since less CPU power is required to extract certain data to the RAM. Scrolling a heavy webpage, for instance - raising these settings could improve scrolling smoothness and loading times, since there isn't a need to clean the heapsize as frequently as it was before.
More suggestions are coming later. If you found this article useful, please leave THANKS!
Good day.
Hey guys
I'm recompiling a kernel for my Galaxy S5. I'm disabling some parts of kernel code, trying different toolchains and compile options
But, how do I know if any of if is being effective in getting more performance out from my phone?
I know there are many benchmark apps out there, but I've tested ~10 and they all give inconsistent results. I mean, they all look pretty and stylish, but who can trust in a 1-minute test, with varying results even when not changing anything on the phone?
Don't tell me benchmarks are BS, because you have decent benchmarks for Databases (I work with some of them), Desktop PCs (even Windows had a built-in one), memory, disks, TVs, etc... I'm used to test and compare "things" forever, but I'm used to solid and consistent results. Sadly in Android world people give too much attention to pretty graphics or hearty words like "Your phone is fantastic" (this is the type of "conclusion" some benchmarks apps out there gives... LOL)
So, how to test a Kernel's performance in Android? Do I have to learn Java and create my own...? I hate Java!
