THE GOOD:
- V6 supercharger script is working... well the Minfree, ADJ & OOM Grouping values are anyways.
Minfree Values Before:
8192, 10240, 12288, 14336, 16384, 20480
Minfree Values After:
2048, 4096, 51200, 56320, 61440, 70400
Script says since ICS is running that ADJ values wouldn't be applied, but I'm assuming that means they wouldn't be auto applied on boot, b/c after applying the script, the values did change.
ADJ Values Before:
0, 1, 2, 4, 9, 15
ADJ Values After:
0, 4, 10, 12, 14, 15
THE NOT SO GOOD:
- Die Hard Launcher does not work yet with ICS.
- Since we are still on stock ROM, with no init.prop, script won't enable on boot by itself, you have to set Script Manager to run the 99supercharger.sh script (@ /data) on/after boot, for the values to take effect.

What does this do or what's the benefits of it? I went to that link but it doesn't explain exactly what it is or what it does? Does applying this conflict with other mods such as overclock or the ATP tweaks apk that allows you to change I/O scheduler?

This provides a detailed explanation of what the V6 supercharger does. It really helps a ton on RAM limited devices (I have a couple of nook colors it has made a big difference on).
At a high level it's for memory management. The only conflicts with supercharger are apps for memory management that don't work anywhere near as well anyways.

What option to run
I installed the script and have it working on my rooted prime. However i have never used this script before on any of my android devices and i was wondering what option to run for best performance on my android prime. I have searched everywhere and could not find a guide to tell me what each option means. Also, Will i have to run this each time i reboot?

For me, this program worked great with my Evo which had half the memory of this and my EVO 3D. I don't really see a need for this on the TFP as of now. Maybe later if I add more a lot more apps. When I used it I went through the settings to find the right one for me. I would use it for a day and switch to another setting to see how I liked it. Also, if you put a widget on the desktop with script manager it should work on bootup.

i agree with this, the tfp is so beastly i havent seen the use for the minfree adjustments. but it would be nice for bulletproof launcher and OOM groupings

Hey guys!
Wanted to bounce a question off of all of you,
I have Uruk 1.0 installed, with Urukconfig 1.1.0, I also have SetCPU installed.
I'm looking to find the 'best' config to optimize my CPU governing....
SetCPU seems to take longer to 'set' due to SU permissions, but 'runs' just fine after booting - the system is nice and snappy, but there seems to be some slight bugs in it.... sometimes it wipes my settings out of it, especially after a reboot, but it is intermittant.
CPUGovernor in Urukconfig works well no matter how I cut it, but I am unsure how to set the scaling of the CPU.
One thing I did notice, between the two governors, if I have them both 'running' SetCPU reports 'interactive' scaling, while urukconfig reports 'ondemand' scaling... I think they might not like playing nice with each other, but don't quote me on that.
Any suggestions or comments?

I figured this out, go into /etc/uruk.conf and edit the cpugovernor file.

I think I may have 'fixed' this problem (I'm not sure though, I really hope I'm not screwing things up...)
I went into /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq and edited cpuinfo_min_freq to my desired 600000 (default 300000) and rebooted.
There seems to be no issues, SetCPU is now keeping my settings.
EDIT: Even after setting the cpu speeds manually, even making them read only permissions, the system resets them on reboot, seems like a fix described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169625 may do the trick.
EDIT2 Between the script I wrote and killing SU to SetCPU, the system is no longer rewriting the cpu_min/max_freq - Thanks arpruss!

I can say, with the changes I implemented editing both the cpugovernor and cpuinfo_min_freq files, my system is most definitly running in interactive mode, but urukconfig still reports the mode as 'ondemand' - pretty sure it's not reporting correctly.
Im still open to thoughts on this, I would really like to hear what some of the seniors around here have to say
Cool, great info. What did you change in the cpugovernor file? Have you tried to change the Max freq yet? I'd love to get uruk to 1.2

I set my desired min / max cpu speeds, and set the governor to interactive mode (seems to be a bit peppier than ondemand)
Unfortunately the only way to overclock is a kernel capable of it, then setting everything appropriately. Uruk 0.7 has an OC kernel - try it out

ok, gotcha.
Yeah, I was afraid you says 0.7 was the only way. I was hoping you found a way on 1.0. I used to be on 0.7 with OC and I might go back.
I was looking through /system with root explorer to see what I notice that it new from the EVO 4G and I stubbled across a file called adreno_config.txt. I opened it and read through parts of it and it has a lot of values that can be changed. I changed binning from software to hardware and noticed a very slight jump in benchmark scores using antutu benchmark. Mainly I noticed smoother scrolling on homescreens and webpages with a lot of flash content. I was hoping maybe a dev or someone who knows alittle more about these things than I do could look thru this file and see if we could get a performance boost from anything in this file. The exact path to the file is /system/etc/adreno_config.txt. thanks and hopefully something good could come of this. One of the big things I noticed was antialiasing settings that were all turned off by default. If this has already been looked at then I am sorry for the double post and don't mind being told I'm wrong.
I will upload the file if needed, but I figure that anyone who would know anything about this should already have root and s-off so it is really pointless.

just use root explorer to go in and grab it from your phone. i would definetely make a backup of it on your sd card and nandroid before messing around with it. I dont have s-off just yet (computer is down) or Id mess with it myself
here it is
Thanks I'll take a look to see what he's talking about exactly.
From what it looks, it looks like it is the Adreno 220 graphics configuration settings. It seems it can be tweaked, but I do not know entirely since this is a phone.
Take a look at these lines...
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Specify the allocation strategy for multisampling antialiasing buffers.

; 2 - use 4x antialiasing.
;
;MSAAMode=0
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Now I don't know if this will fully improve performance, but I do know that when I am tweaking files like this for a PC video card, it'll make all the difference in the world for running games. But these files are within the games directory so this seems to be some sort of universal settings. I don't know entirely since this is a phone. Someone with knowledge in regards to this please chime in.
Yup this has to do with the configuration settings, it is universal. I can see an FPS cap option. Our evos aren't capped by FPS, if anyone would want to know that.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Cap value for frames per second. Do not cap if value < 0 or value > 1000.
; Valid values:
; 0 - (default) do not cap.
; Int - (integer) cap to this number of frames per second if N 1000.
;
;FPSCap=0
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I'll probably tweak this file to see if it really does anything, but I don't have the time to fiddle with it right now. Anyone who has knowledge in regards to phones, I don't mind if you chime in and educate.
good ****..
i just sent viper a pm and well see what he says about it.
He's one of the more popular devs in the dev section
I pm'ed two Devs... I know files like this are used always in computers for adjusting configurations precisely rather than using presets. I'm just not entirely sure for a phone lol
to get full benefit of these tweaks, you must use chainfire 3D PRO, and enable EGL beta driver when you install CF3D driver. Also, since you have pro, go ahead and hide CF3Ds announce ID. good luck, have fun.
I assume this is what joelZ9614 might have used to "force GPU UI rendering" mentioned in his Shooter Rewind ROM changelog

I've enabled it in my ROM (in my test build) and it seems a little smoother, not amazingly different, but every little bit helps
Joel just told me he's seen the file but hasn't bothered looking into it at first.. he said he's going to though.

User participation:
Sometimes I have a possible issue or fix that I need YOU the users to try before I fix it. These commands/steps will not harm your Gplayer in any way, or decrease performance. Just post the result if I need you to, or report back on your success/failure!
Performance:
Make sure you post screenshots of your quadrant scores so I can tell that my work is going to good use!
If you have a hack/performance mod you want to see in the next version, be sure you pm me your idea/link!
Please make sure it is a well though out idea, not "improve cpu score on quadrant", as that doesn't help me.
Make sure you report any bugs you have as soon as possible, so i can fix them!
Bluetooth fix:
this is only for people who are having bluetooth issues, if you are not, ignore this!
1. Head into terminal emulator
2. Get su, and type "v6"
3. Head through the prompts until you see a mains screen with several options
4. Choose the one that says "Nitro lag nullifier"
5.Unillify
6.exit, and reboot
Howto:
convert to EXT4(STRONGLY recommended, as this gives a large performance boost. Most of my I/o tweaks performance increase is reduced drastically if you do not apply this!)
Credit goes to Klin for this guide.
1. Flash Klin's R3 or a version of Terrasilent
2. Make sure you have about 14 MB free space on /system.
3. Boot into CWM recovery and do a full nandroid backup.
4. Reboot, and from your computer go to the CWM backup directory on your sd card. Alternatively, you could use a file explorer to view and edit these files.
5. Change all the files from ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar".
6. Open nandroid.md5 with a text editor and change all the ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar". Save and close.
7. Eject the device from your computer FIRST. This step is crucial. Then disconnect from your player. If you edit it on the player, you can skip this step.
8. Reboot to CWM recovery and do a full restore.
9. (only for terrasilent users) head into the advanced menu of cwm, select reboot download, then reflash your terrasilent kernel. That should fix the "bricking" some people experienced.
There you go! enjoy the increase!
Fix home button woes:
I have finally, after a bit of luck and some know-how, determined a fix for the home button issue! This will work on ALL roms, not just this one, and will probably work for the 5.0 as well. This also means you can fully wipe data if you want, and simply apply my fix.
1. Navigate to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
2.Optionally copy to a computer (easier that way)
3.Open it up in a sqlite editor (if you are doing this on the device, copy it to /sdcard and and then copy it back
4.Navigate to the locale/first section (there should only be one string in there
5.It should look like en_US if you have a US player, or en_GB if you have a UK/intl player
6.Change the string to the language/locale you use (if you are INTL you can merely change it to xx_GB, where xx is your language. If you are US, just perform the same steps, but change the last part to US)
7. commit/save the file and copy it over the old one
8. Reboot, and your home button *should* be fixed!
NOTE: I have not personally tested this. It has a 99% change of working, but I have yet to completely verify it.
NOTE: after you replace the file, android may go a little haywire (wifi disconnects, forgets password, advanced reboot option unavailable, etc.). THIS IS OKAY. Simply reboot, and it will all be back. Do not change any settings after copying until it reboots, as it may possibly break the fix
NOTE: I cannot provide a downloadable file, as that file contains all of your system settings, and if you use mine, my settings will be applied, which could be pretty bad in some cases.
NOTE: this has no chance of bootlooping or bricking your device. At absolute worst, you have to set up a few settings/restore from a /dbdata backup. There is almost no risk involved.

Massive battery improvements:
Tweaked sysctl for battery (should not reduce performance)
force-disabled all swap usage (should improve performance)
Increased battery life 1.5x+
(I got over 3.5/4 hrs of constant web browsing with brightness at 30%, OC to 1.5ghz with a LOT of overvolting, and wifi on the entire time)
Gps fix for amazing lock time!
I got 3-5 seconds drom a cold boot!

Reverted possible bluetooth fix (you can still do it using my guide if your bluetooth does not work)
Possible 3d performance improvement
V1.3-
Fixed init.d scripts, they should ALWAYS run at boot now.
Fixed init.d scripts/optimized them for our device, it should speed things up a lot with my modifications (spent over 3 hours fixing them up)
removed some init.d scripts for faster boot
Fixed scrolling cache tweak (For some reason it was not working properly) for a performance increase while scrolling
General bugfixes
Added Holo launcher for total ICS feel (seemed laggy/slow when I used it though)
tweaked sysctl settings for a modest battery life increase
general performance fixes/increases.
V1.4-
Advanced sysctl tweaks (super fast responses)

Yep, no problem! I, like an idiot, thought the filename extension was what Odin would format the partition to, and I of course never checked it out (today was pretty hectic). I am downloading it now myself to double check that it is what it should be.
BTW, new version up tomorrow with a new (awesome) name, and awesome battery life improvements! (I am currently at 50% after 2.5 hrs of nonstop web browsing with the screen at 30% and wifi on, plus a 1.5ghz overclock with some insane overvolting).

Could one of the devs please a create/start comprehensive /definitive guide on how to create a swapfile, how and where to and what values to set. I've found setxperia the easiest and most flexible way to create one but am confused what values to set.
my currently configured setup is
lupus kernel for stock v5.1
hasa miui 3.1.25 (while waiting for zellycream 2.5.2 mdpi)
105mb (max available size) swapfile created in cache partition, zram 26mb (half of max available value of 52mb) and swappiness 50mb (again half of max available value of 100mb).
are these values in any way effective? if not, what should be the ideal real world size, i'm not much of a heavy duty gamer but others are so what would be the ideal sizes for gamers and non-gamers respectively? is setxperia the ideal way to setup these values? if not, what is?
TIA!
Yes this values are ideal and perfect.
But if you want more heavy duty games to run download swapper 2

Sent from MOON......
thanks for your feedback, i've uninstalled setxperia and tried out swapper 2 (going with the app's recommended settings). from my understanding, it does its magic after the phone boots up (i found a setting for "run swapper at startup"). i'm curious, is there an app that creates something like init.d scripts to have swap enabled while or before the phone fully boots up rather than as an app that does its magic after bootup?
also, swapper 2 most probably has "safe" generic recommended settings identical for all users but what would be the recommended settings to use in various different scenarios like for use by heavy duty gamer or for a person that browses mostly etc.?

try zram using kernels...try system control app...
Hi all.
I was wondering,what "homemade" tweaks like init.d/script manager scripts or build.prop do you use with your S3...
When i say homemade i mean tweaks you apply on your own,not any tweaks that come with the rom you use.
Tweaks that you've tried and liked,tweaks that you'd recommend.
Here's the things i do to make my S3 more lag free:
-Use Greenify
-Custom script for script manager attached below(updated 27/3/13)
-Build.prop almost clean as i found many of the tweaks unusable in 4.1 or to interfere with the System.
-No init.d tweaks currently (sometimes zipaling and sqlite defrag)
-Custom STweaks settings(Perseus) including overclock,they're too many to write if you want i can attach some screenies.
-Currently testing Crossbreeder mod but with the above my S3 was already fast enough so not much differency,if any.
-zRam 650mb script for a kernel that supports zRam attached below also to be used for script manager.

Build.prop tweaks

This one is for the soft keys, tablet-like home, menu, back buttons on screen (with respective screen reduction). Adding the line on build.prop:
Enable
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Disable
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Popular tweak, for the sake of those who don't know them yet.

So that's my list right now.
Got anything good to share?

No one uses his own tweaks,only what comes with the rom?

well, yes But i'm interested in the script you posted. What exactly did you change the minfree values and ratios to ? Would these values give more multi-tasking or are they engineered towards having free ram ?
Also Greenifying google maps (as a user app) gives a huge boost to battery life, unless you have Google Now enabled

Hehe..
Well this is leaning towards better multitasking and most importantly lag free system and multitasking.
I lowered the adj values a bit because stock S3 were killing my apps a bit too fast for me,they're "inspired" from the original Galaxy S only a bit modified to suit the S3.
I found them to be working nicely for me,give them a go if like and post here or pm me.
Except from the adj values i modified a bit the values of sysctl.conf like dirty ratio vfs cache pressure and some nr_request config.
I changed my values a bit right now and also disabled iostats to make it even more less laggy so i'll upload this when i get home.
I usually have around 70mb free ram but my S3 doesn't lag at all,yay!
Now trying 500mb zRam and it's going very nice...i may add it to the op soon...
