Benchmark and Tweaks - TouchPad General

Quadrant Scores: I wanted to post a section to discuss tweaks and benchmark scores. Please list ROM, tweaks, and scores. I am looking for most optimized build. Currently I am running CM9.0.6 gapps v11. No tweaked over clocked to 1.72 with No Frills CPU. Getting just above 2100 on Quadrant
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Here's what I'm seeing at 1.72 with CM9 and Gapps v11 on the stock kernel. I removed everything pertaining to syncing, removed cmstats, removed anything pertaining to the camera, removed anything pertaining to uploading or sharing photos, removed a few other random apks, and replaced the netd executable with the file from CM7 to avoid it consuming a constant 50-90% of one core. This is with the ondemand scheduler and a 50% clock up threshold. I've got v6 supercharger logic in the build.prop file along with nitro lag nullifier logic. I have to run a script on boot to finish setting the supercharger stuff that can't be done in build.prop. I'm also injecting some values through sysctl on boot to tune the kernel and removing /dev/log/main on boot to disable logcat.

That said, this device seems to respond much better in antutu (I see over 6400 with these settings in it).

First screenshot of my CM7/Team XRON 2.9.1 Using CPU Tuner under performance setting @ 1.7 Overclock (3445 Quadrant Score)
Second Screenshot is Classicnerd ICS @1.836 Overclock via CPUtuner with performance settings. (3049 Quadrant Score)
Final shot, did it for kicks, Classicnerd ICS @ 1.9 Overclock via CPU Tuner (3290 Quadrant Score)
No other tweaks. Stock kernel, Moboot and startup animations. Nothing removed, Gallery added back in cm7 just because I prefer it. Using launcherpro on both roms with twitter widget, regular wallpapers, nothing special. Just nice numbers.
On a side note I have noticed that running the tablet(s) at anything under 1.5 seems laggy when moving through the launcher and market, especially if OnDemand is set to less than 50/60% threshold.

Quadrant is an old and useless piece of crap. Post Antutu, it at least says what are your points combined of.

Agreed. Here's an Antutu score, same settings.
And one with the performance governor (which I wouldn't normally post since it's not awesome for 24/7)

Thanks guy I will start my tweaking tonight by tomorrow I'll have my scores up!
I OK didn't have time to tweak but I'm running cm9. 6 and I'm getting 4400ish alot lower cpu stats then I matt. I also can only oc to 1.786 I have classicnerd rom I just really have zero issues with CM9.0.6... Any suggestions

How are you guys getting such high scores on your SD card writes? I only get 6.6MB/s writes.

Have you checked to see if you have any errant process runaway issues ('top -m 10 -n 1' in a console will show you the top 10 current cpu consumers, or you can enable all of the categories in something like System Tuner to see them in a more friendly view)? I normally only run 1.5 daily, but those benches are also at 1.7. These benches were done on the vanilla CM9 0.6 release with tweaks. Could there be some funny business in the classicnerd build?

I believe it's a result of the sysctl tweaks that I have in-place. Here are the parameters that are being pushed to the kernel on boot (thanks go to Notorious544d, since he included this in his Neutrino rom for the Atrix). It's more than likely the dirty writeback bits specifically.
--Matt

Decided to try out the new bricked kernel. Seems a bit down on CPU and memory performance, but has much better graphics performance (which seems to make more of a difference IRL).

Can't read it? It's plain text. If you place it in /etc you can load it with "sysctl -p". You can create a script to run it on boot if you'd like.

Looks like the file isn't in /etc or, at least, isn't readable. I'd assume you'll also need to su first if you're doing it in the terminal like that (looks like I've got some invalid keys in there too).

Its compressed with 7-zip. If you pull it to a pc and install 7zip, winrar, etc. you will be able to extract it. Looks like ZArchiver and some of the other apps should be able to do it too.

Catan App

Anyone here a fan of Catan? Bought the app and have a problem with it rebooting my phone every 20 minutes of play or so. Emailed the dev team only to get a response telling me to use a task killer to free up memory and included a link that says why Android doesn't need task killers. I find this kind of answer unacceptable as my wife's fascinate runs the game fine. Maybe there's a memory leak in the x2? I refuse to run task killers since they are not needed.
*Update 11/24
Attempted to use the V6 SuperCharger script to manage the memory better and lock the app into memory etc. It was a no go. Going to call the customer service after the holiday and see where that goes. I'll keep this posted when I find something.

No worries. I figured that was the case for most people. It's a euro board game, very fun, that got created for ios and android. I play the physical game all the time, check it out sometime if you like board games...think civilization, but WAY faster to play and WAY less complicated.

So, I flashed Eclipse 1.3...still rebooted after ~20 minutes of play. What I can't determine is if the X2 has a memory leak or can't manage apps good enough, or if the catan app is bad. Problem is, it works fine in the fascinate and other apps work fine on the X2 so which one is broken....one of them has to be

be sure to make a nandroid first just in case. usually everything is just fine. but just in case u bootloop u will want to restore.
I recommend V6supercharger update8 to be safe. the newer versions are great but if u never used it b4 u r gonna want to use the "basic" version first to get used to it. and all the newer ones are just RC'S anyway(release candidate) they are not finals like update 8 was.
I ended up getting update9 rc4...having dome issues, but hopefully will get worked out. Issues:
1. From terminal emulator I get either permission denied (after an su) or file not found (spelled correctly in the correct directory)
2. From root file manager it seems to take over 10 minutes to run? It does add a supercharger folder and HTML file, but this seems like a long time for a script. (Hopefully I'm wrong and it's installing stuff too making it take longer)
3. Dled romtoolbox and added the script. It ran...but apparently I didn't copy the whole thing. I'll try that again if this pass of #2 above doesn't work.
Question: how do I know it is installed, and will the changes be there after every boot? I haven't needed to run scripts before this phone. Thanks.

sorry I should have specified.
get script manager from market and run it using that.
be sure to check run as root.
before running it u are going to want to go into script manager settings and turn off the "extra gestures " setting so u are able to scroll correctly. and u also want to turn on browse as root.
if u made a nandroid before running what u did I would restore that then do these things to be sure u have a clean install.
then after u reboot just run supercharger script again and it will tell u if it is installed and running correctly.
script manager has a free and a paid version in market.
that is the tool u want to use to run the script trust me. it makes it very easy
oh and by the way...since eclipse has init.d support there will be no reason to use script manager to run anything at boot. it will run every time.
if u happen to use one of the options to change minfree values((u don't need to do that.)) but if u do you will want to go ti system/etc/init.d and edit the 98tweaks file that comes with eclipse. u will want to delete the lines in 98tweaks that refer to minfree values(says something like "aggressive values etc...") but it isn't necessary if u just do the oom groupings fix and htk launcher.
Awesome, thanks. I did see reference to script manager, but thought I'd try it without first...guess I know what I'm doing next

yeah just make sure u change the settings I mentioned. if u don't turn off extra gestures setting it will type a bunch of random characters when u try to scroll. its VERY simple to use.
feel free to private message me if u need any help as well.
my gmail will alert me quickly so I can get back to ya
let me know if u need any tips its thanks giving...don't forget to hit thanks button...Hahaha ...just kidding ...im a thanks whore Hahaha...
also. I usually change the file type from pdf to .sh...just rename the file with whatever file explore u use. its bot necessary but I do it
when running it using script manager u will see an option to choose to use terminal emulator if you prefer it but script manager is very simple/easy to use. have fun with it. its an awesome script for making our x2 run how it should. enjoy
That's funny, I tried saying thanks...but the xda app doesn't let me. I'll do it later. Got the script working. The problem was that my file browser was executing the script...without any way for me to see the output and make selections haha. Script manager did the trick.
On another note, the Catan app still crashed. The first time was in 10 minutes, but only brought me to the home screen. The second one made it reboot after 20 like before. I think I'm going to try the oom group fix with bulletproof launcher instead of hard to kill. And change to the 513hp aggressive setting.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Oh, and I made sure to have all the settings correct
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
bulletproof launcher will lock home app in memory. kinda takes up ram by not allowing home to be killed. .
maybe try option 9(used to be on.older version) for different minfree settings ...
Well, thanks anyway ash. It was a good thought. I tried every setting, including different minfrees and even bulletproofing the Catan app itself. It still reboots after 20 minutes. I even went into the script after reboots to make sure the settings were sticking...they were.

Boost Grand Theft Auto 3′s graphics with a few simple tweaks [from Android Community]

Boost Grand Theft Auto 3′s graphics with a few simple tweaks [from Android Community]
From Android Community --
"A few of you have probably been reliving your most outrageous Liberty City exploits since Rockstar released a pint-sized port of sandbox classic Grand Theft Auto 3 for Android last week. While the game makes the transition mostly intact, some of the graphical flair of the original is missing, probably to make it run better on a wider variety of Android phones and tablets. If you’re running a high end phone with a fast dual-core processor and a competent GPU, it might not be using them to the best of their abilities. Luckily, German site AndroidNext has found a hidden settings file within the game’s data folder, which will allow you to modify some basic graphics settings."
For the full effects in GTA 3 on Android you have to do only the following:
1) Connect phone to PC and connect as a Disk Drive
2) Navigate to the directory
/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
3) Backup existing Gta3.set
4) Download and extract gta-3-full-download effects.zip
5) Drop included gta3.set from zip into the /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 directory
6) Done!
P.S. - confirmed it worked and no lag from the tweak as well. Happy Holidays everyone!
P.P.S. - here's a link to the original .set file to revert the changes. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2114079/gta3.set
Nice find. Tried it just now and the graphics got way better, but it actually got a little bit slower for me. Thanks again.
Edit: Nevermind. Left 'Powersaver' on in SetCPU settings. Runs great!

I wouldn't change it. As you can see theres not much difference and its not worth having the on-screen controls messed up.. the one with the pickup is before and the minivan is after...

[Q] Setcpu purchase

Good afternoon,
I had installed the Setcpu apk on my phone and I realized how amazing the app is and how much it helps me out daily. I went ahead and decided that the least I could do was to go ahead and purchase it in the market as my appreciation but after uninstalling the app, the following happens:
I go to the app in the market and it says purchased. Please note I still have not purchased it.
I then click on it and install but then it will return an error saying I have no purchased it yet, so it seems I am stuck in between.
Anyone know of a way of fixing this so I can buy this application from the dev?
I went ahead and sent him an email but I have not heard back from him.
He is probably trying to figure it out himself.
Thanks beforehand as always.

Uninstall setCPU. Market has it in its cache that you own it because it's a paid app on their service and you have it installed on your phone.
Then clear market data, go back into market and the app should be gone. Then you should be able to purchase it.
He had released a version for xda members for free awhile back. I had it on og evo. It's not warez, the dev just tested it with xda members and that was his way of saying thanks.

Yes sir. It seems to be locked under my Google account.
ive seen happen a couple times to a couple different people...the solution that seemed to work is an older version of the market... what if you go to the market website and buy it and install it from there?? that might work also
you are aware setcpu is a lil funky on the evo 3d due to dual core and all??... i could never get it to work properly for me..
What if I uninstall the updates to the market? Are you sure it will work with older versions? Can anyone back up his statement regarding setcpu on the evo 3d? I thought it was working pretty good but you can never know for sure.
I too am having the same issue. I downloaded here on the xda forums but would like to purchase it on Android Market but says ready purchased when not. Worse case scenario is to contact google support and see if they are able to unlink it from my account
Have you tried to use the titanium backup function to detach from market? Find the app, long press on it in titanium and select detach. No clue if this will fix, just an idea.

I'm running it now. I had it sitting in the uninstalled section of my apps for the longest time. Finally a few days ago, I decided to look at it and in the changelog, they said they improved support for our device's SoC (and specifically listed the 3d as one of the devices they improved support for). Now the app works just as it should, and it only requests superuser access once when the phone starts up, as opposed to asking once every 30 or so seconds like it used to.
I've had the same problems talk have had but here's a fix.

Can anyone tell me what this Chinese notification is and why I keep getting it?

Hello All,
Please see the photo below. I keep getting the notification seen in the picture on nearly a daily basis. Can anybody tell me what the heck it is, what it means, and why I am getting it?

As of the moment, I'm treating it as adware/spyware/malware and I will not let it install. If you click it, it brings up the package installer. For the moment I just clear my cache and my dalvik, then do a restart and it doesn't show up for a few more hours.
I greatly appreciate your help!

Got any new Apps that you installed around the same time you starting getting them? I only see Notifications like that from an App that pushes it, so I would assume it's coming from something you downloaded on there.

That is a airpush ad.. It's caused by an application you downloaded, download airpush detector from the play store and it will tell you which app is causing this, delete the app and it won't happen again.. Here's a link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector

I downloaded this app and hopefully it will work the next time I get the notification! I tried running it and it didn't pick anything up, then again I don't have the notification right now either.

I haven't screwed around with the "GO" products in a long time and definitely not in my last two upgrades in CleanROM.

I'm going to wait for the notification to push again and I'll see if the first 2 tools I downloaded reveal the source. If that doesn't work, then i'll try masking it with adaway.

If it were me and I couldn't find the source, I'd bite the bullet and wipe and reinstall. No way I'd keep something like that on my phone. My $.02

UPDATE: The notification popped up but didn't register on either of the apps that you guys had suggested I download. I searched the Google Play Store and I found a different app that yielded the picture I have shown below.
All of these should be trusted Apps. Any ideas? Also, it would make no difference if I wiped my phone clean and started over, as I have seen this issue pop up on my last several builds of CleanROM. (I always do a full wipe in between versions).

I would work backwards... How long have you been getting this push notification? What apps have you downloaded around that same time? Delete each app one at a time to find out which one is pushing. Had one similar to this but can't remember what it was from. Would try deleting the apps in your screen shot. Even if they are trusted apps, doesn't mean they don't push things.
My guess would be ebay or the last two apps. Ebay wouldn't surprise me

That really could be a pain because the notification only pops up once in a while. In theory, I could be without some of my crucial apps that I use everyday for many days before something pops up.
I'm still hopeful that someone might be able to translate what it says to provide some insight.

Understandable... Another option might to look at the apps on the market and read the reviews... A lot of times people will comment on push notifications.

I wish this was the case, but I don't have any Goapps installed.
try adfree android and see if it goes away...or odin back to stock and see if
the notification still pops up.
The ad is gonna be from an app so it doesn't matter if you wipe or revert to stock, so you downloaded adaway and ran the app? Music paradise gives me one of those annoying push notifications but adaway stops it. Btw you have to press download files and apply ad blocking on the adaway app

[LINK][ODIN][TAR][VZW] SCH-I545 VRUAME7 Factory Image

VRUAME7 is impervious to previous bootloader bypass methods. Proceed at your own discretion.
I have not yet delved into the files to see exactly what is included here over MDK. A few users have reported Apps2SD being included and a change in phone status that now displays a "Secure Boot Status Field" in addition to the SELinux Status field.
Flash this file in ODIN (under the PDA section) while your phone is in download mode to restore or upgrade to ME7. This will wipe your phone.

We need a guinea pig to flash this then to try flash back to the old build to see if it's possible for those that want to root. Apparently this new build blocks flashing the pre-release kernel which will kill our ability to root (at this time ). I'd like to get the radios yanked out of the new build so that we can see if they're any better than what's in the old builds.

This is not an OTA. You have to use Verizon's software updater on your computer to get the update. And it's been reported that root keeper apps aren't working.

OTA rootkeeper is the name of the app. I'm aware that this isn't an OTA (yet). The application creates a backup copy of your SU so that you can restore it post-update (regardless of update method). It's a method that's been being used on Motorola phones for the better part of 2 years now to retain root through updates. It is file system dependent though and I'm not sure it's supported on samsung phones. Just curious if anyone had tried this particular app yet.
Can we flash this file that the OP posted or only way to update is through Kids on a PC or Mac?

Give it a try and report back. You seem to have a better understanding of the app than most so you would make a good candidate to try it.

Yes. However the build does have some bugs. The apps 2 sd "feature" seems to be causing apps to think there is no sd installed on my phone. Also, my wifi is totally borked. It connects and gas full bars but transfers at less than 1 Mbps. I have a 50Mbps connection.

I flashed this last night with no problems from my wifi. I was able to stream hd with no hiccups. I haven't tried the apps2sd yet because I don't a storage issue. Otherwise works great. Less lag, wifi toggle by default, less heat while watching videos and playing games.
