after using a2sd script not all the data go to sdcard, right? some still remain @ internal?
so whats the best gingerbread to run on the p500? are there many bugs or fc's or anything? should i just stick to 2.2(.x)
great place to ask... but will the questions be answered right away?
i thought at first, as the title implies...
right after clicking the link, i thought i will see steps and procedures and best bets for GB ports and ROMS... but somehow.. its not the idea...
i guess we should rename the title... GB discussions of some sort...
because this cant be the thread with a guide to install something....
just my 2 cents.

after using the darktremor's a2sd i got some bug ( honestly i dont know its a bug or not )
after i moved some of my photos and music from my pc , when i want to open the photo on gallery , it keep saying that sdcard not mounted
i already try to remounted the sdcard through the settings but it doesn't work
but when i try the music player and the file manager , it can detect the music and also the picture. just the gallery can't detect it.
any suggestion ?

Is anyone having problems getting their phone to mount after installing mik's CM7? I no longer get the prompt to turn on USB storage when I connect to my computer. It does make the little ding though for USB debugging.

Yes. Your choice of ROM has no effect on the SIM unlock. I have an Optimus T that I unlocked from T mobile and I have installed lots of different ROMS and it has remained unlocked.

Hello everyone, I'm having an "issue" with CM7. Someone made a wifi fix for Beta 1, and now Beta 2 has a fix itself and it's all fine except I have to give the terminal superuser permission in order for it to work.
I was wondering if there's a way for it to automatically give permission as I have to write su everytime I turn my phone on and that's a bit lame :x
su is the root command. Whenever you want root access, you type su. It is made this way because the shell does not need root for all commands. So you may want to browse your folders via shell, and you wont need su for that.
In all linux distros, and unix too, you type su when needing root access... that's the way it works. Be happy that you don't need to type the admin password whenever going root via su, as you would in linux/unix.

No, you don't have to be a superuser for it to work. The "su" command is just needed to check if the fix is working. If you just run the command "iwconfig wlan0" the terminal gives back to you wrong values, due to the lack of superuser command. But it doesn't mean the power management or the txpower are not working.
how many people here use the V6 Supercharger Script with their Streak?
I'm having trouble with it and was hoping other more adept streakers know what the hell is going on with mine...
so I've run probably every script since the first one, but, it turns out the instructions I got weren't as complete as they could have been, and inadvertantly, I ran the scripts as the .txt and .pdf file formats that they came in.
I also saw a tutroial that involved changing a file name using root explorer, which I also never did.
i also did this for the 3G and kernelizer tweaks aswell
so now I have the latest script version and I notice that it's not working, I have no idea how long ago it stopped...
what I would like to know is:
A: how to totally clean all of it from my system, in order to start a totally fresh install.
B: how to properly install all three of the the scripts on the streak.
anybody nice enough to help me?
I use it...since version 8.
I use the latest version, along with the 3g & kick ass kernal tweak.
I use option 6, multitasking, 512 leaded.
Drop in here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 I'll bet someone can help you.
I've tried following all the instructions, even some from other tutorials, I've un supercharged and started from scratch.
how did you make yours stick?

It has been made very clear by some of the senior developers here that V6 does not work on the Streaks because of some type of conflict with how the memory is allocated or configured or something, that's one of the reasons that it isn't implemented into the ROMs... so it's just snake oil, a placebo for a Streak owner. I'm not saying it doesn't work on other devices, but it DOES NOT work on the Streak

I would like to think I am very familiar with GNU/Linux/UN*X permissions, but I don't have the foggiest idea as to what "fix permissions" does in Android recoveries and apps.
Is anyone willing to give an accurate overview of what's happening? If so, please do. Finally, can anyone point me towards some opensource code that implements such a task? That would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In order not to have applications to affect others, Android creates a new user/group to store data for each app and the permission information is keep in packages.xml. fix_permissions is to ensure permission integrity.
ROM Manager bundles fix_permissions shell script (I am sure others too):
/data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/fix_permissions
Tingtan already explained the process of fix permissions and suggested ROM Manager as the shell commander but you can also fix permissions in CWM recovery by going to advanced/fix permissions/yes

hmmm, not realy clear for newbie like me, can you explain what problem will happen if fix permision ( in CMW ) is needed but i don't do it ?
When I flashed a rom, I always fix permissions at the end, then reboot.. That's how I learned to flash. :thumbup:
You can also fix permissions in rom toolbox under the "manage apps. " Its on bottom, just slide bottom bar to left and you will see it.

Thanks I did not know that I could fix my permissions in Rom Tool Box.
Hello.
I suspect that fixing permissions implementation differs between tools. I suspect some of them doing worse to the system by performing this.
I'd appreciate a suggestion of tool doing this best (ie. no bad impact on system performance)
I just ran this from ROM Manager and thought... oh what have I done now...
I didn't really need to do it or anything. At least it didn't appear to have created issues
But, is it more or less secure now?
problem starting all aps after fix permission
just trying fix permission after flash rom and now my andriod cann't execute launcher and android system.
Nav bar and notification bar still show up, so the only thing i can use is setting menu.

Stock Recovery Permission Fix?
How do you 'fix permissions' if you have only stock recovery?
I thought I needed to do this with my Titanium backup file.
I read that you must move the file into the system directory (off of SD Card or EXT SD Card) to do this, however this can be a problem and an inconvenience for such a large file, is there another recommended way of doing this if your Rooted but pure stock?
(Ideally this would alleviate the need to move the file, or at least would take care of the manual process if it's not possible to rectify in place.)
Fix permission?
Guys i have a note 3 sm n9005 and i am running cm12.1 ever since it came out. Well the rom is pretty good and stable but its missing some features on my device like the( on screen nav bar, ambient display , themer for cm themes) and im kinda frustrated cuz they are some nice features to be missing. Anyhow i tried liquidsmooth 4.1 and i did get the nav bar and the other settings, but now im back to cm cuz ls 4.1 has some bugs and again im without these features on cm12.1. Will this fix permissions thing solve the problem?? And if any one knows the fix for it please share it with me. Thanks.
I would like to invite you guys to test my new app Parasol which can solve the permission problem in Android M~

Hi there,
Parasol is a new app to solve the permission problem in Android M. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-parasol-alpha-t3190615
Just try it and give me some expert feedback. Thanks a lot~
shell script to fix permissions
This is my first shell script but it fixed the permissions on an app that started crashing after I upgraded to android M
it takes the /data/data/XXX folder name as its only parameter
This script only repairs the owner:group of the data files
Please send comments - this script can be used by anyone in any way
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
#The folders in /data/data each have a different owner. The next line gets the owner and the strips the whitespace
appusername=$(stat -c "%U" /data/data/$1 | xargs)
#The next line constructs the chown command to repair the permissions for all the files in the target folder
fixperm="chown -R $appusername:$appusername /data/data/$1/*"
#Display the command to the user
echo "$fixperm"
#Uncomment the next line if you would like the script to fix the permission
#eval $fixperm
else
echo "Missing target folder parameter"
fi
I am not sure if someone else has posted this already. But I couldn't find one, so here you go. (Please let me know if I'm mistaken)
I made two small edits to the boot.img of the stock (leaked) ICS rom in order to satisfy my needs:
1. ability to run init.d scripts,
2. start adb in root.
They are very simple and anyone with a little knowledge can do it himself, but it still is convenient to have someone else do it, isn't it? I, for one, searched the forum in vein.
Here's a short explanation of what it is, and how to utilize the features.
1. init.d :
You can place your own shell scripts in /etc/init.d (you have to create the directory yourself, of course) and run them at boot time. If you prefer the CM style userinit.d, you could create a script like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# call userinit.sh and/or userinit.d/* scripts if present in /data/local
if [ -e /data/local/userinit.sh ];
then
log -p i -t
userinit "Executing /data/local/userinit.sh";
logwrapper
/system/bin/sh /data/local/userinit.sh;
setprop
fi;
if [ -d /data/local/userinit.d ];
then
logwrapper busybox
run-parts /data/local/userinit.d;
fi;
and place it in init.d (credit: CM team). After that, you can place additional scripts without remounting system partition. Just don't forget to chmod appropriately.
A word of caution: Don't go wild and install all those tweaks found in other forums without checking to see their contents. I found that most of them to be either irrelevant or even harmful to the Amaze. Remeber, we've got one of the best phones on the market and wouldn't want to ruin it by running tweaks designed for our 'lessor' siblings!
2. adb root :
I was getting tired of the inability to adb push files to user restricted directories. Also, I use Droid Explorer a lot, but was tired of its inability to obtain root even though my phone is rooted. So I basically changed the default.prop and everything is fine now.
Added benefit is that 'adb remount' works now.
Well, that's it. Too simple, but until someone comes up with a nice kernel with these mods built in, we got to live with what's available.
DISCLAIMER : Should I even include a disclaimer? Why not? This is just a stock boot.img with minor modifications to its ramdisk portion, and it shouldn't harm your phone. If it doesn't work, simply reflash the stock boot.img found in the stock/leaked ICS roms. However, I don't want anyone to brick his phone, so don't flash this unless you know what you are doing. Also, I've seen some people bricking their phones merely by trying to flash innocent files like this one. Hard to believe, but anything can happen, so I will not be responsible if you brick your phone.
INSTRUCTIONS :
0. be sure you got the ICS build 4.0.3 with the stock kernel. rooted and have installed busybox (for init.d support only).
1. download the attached boot.img.
2. place the file where adb/fastboot can find it.
3. flash it using 'fastboot flash boot boot_new.img.
4. reboot.
5. try 'adb shell' and see if you get # prompt.
6. add some scripts in /etc/init.d and reboot and see if it runs.
It runs on my Amaze running the newer leaked ICS rom (unlocked bootloader, rooted, and busybox from the market). If you have any other settings, it probably won't do any good.
That's it, guys. Hope you have some fun with it (like I did).
Just flashed your modified boot.img so far everything works as described. Going to attempt my backlight script now. Just reflashed the stock RUU as certain Roms were giving me WiFi issues. Thanks
Is this why adb remount never worked?? I asked a few people and they acted like I was crazy.. I KNEW there had to be a reason it wasn't working.. I guess my only question is why was it no one thought to do this since the ICS release except you? LOL.
Edit: And I am out of thanks, this is my mental note to come back and hit thanks when I get some to give again!
Edit2: As advertised it works flawlessly, as advertised. It will be awesome to be able to push files to my phone and all the other things I couldn't do before! A simple tweak, as you said, still appreciated!
seems like were getting some more people around here that actually contribute to the amaze forums. thanks guys...carry on
Thank you very much
Now to find some scripts to run, lol.
Thank you all for the kind words! As I said in the OP, I was curious at first about the usefulness of my post. I truly believe that, if HTC had given us more power to mod this phone, this forum would have been 10 time more active with all sorts of useful stuff. Come on HTC, you give us the best phone (even better than the One series!), and why do you want to cripple us?

As I didn't test the boot.img with any roms around, I don't know what went wrong with your wifi. That's why I only promised it would work with the NEWER stock ICS rom. Is it possible that you flashed the boot.img to a custom rom that is based on the OLDER leak?
Additionally, if the rom dev has made his/her own mods to the boot.img, it would not be compatible with the stock boot.img like mine. I didn't add, remove or move any files.

Hehe, yeah it is because of some security settings that phone manufacturers chose to enable in order to minimize customer support costs, I guess. Instead, they should give us all the power (and funding, too) so that we can support each other at XDA!

I've used more than two dozen smart phones in the past, including ancient pda's and even iPhones (ouch!), and I think the Amaze has the best (mix of) hardware. I, too, wish there were more devs here, and wonder why some great devs around didn't see the potential in it. Well, HTC isn't doing something right...

Hard to find anything useful for the (already mighty) Amaze, isn't it?
Things I would add for myself are like:
- house keeping: delete cache, move/copy important files from internal to external sdcard, etc.
- renice phone and input method a bit. How about acore? Probably not...
- zipalign, maybe, if you're fanatic about it.
- save logs and erase oldest ones. Gosh, what am I saying? We've got so much storage space. Oh, well. If we save the logs in external sdcard, we can view them even when the phone doesn't turn on...
Hehe, I think I should search.
I never flashed your boot.img on custom roms only on the stock. I have better WiFi with stock.

LOLOLOL! That guy is something! I mean the guy who created the v6 script. Yes, I think his concept is right on. I may borrow some of his tweaks like app grouping and oom/minfree. I've done similar adjustments when I was still using my G1/Dream, but with Amaze with de-bloated ICS, I am already getting (almost, if not) everything he is promising we can achieve with his script.
The only lag I have is when some background services are busy. But I don't really want to make them low priority (yet).
What do you think you like to achieve using v6? I may be able to help because I myself want to experiment some.

Hey, if you want to try out something cool, check this out.. http://android.mimic.ca/ it patches the services.jar file to change the OOM priority, evidently in a way more effective than the supercharger script can do it. I was going to try to include it in the latest update for my rom till I decided I wanted to work on other things.. the guy who made supercharger script helped design the patch for the file though Just thought you may be interested.

erm... it CAN'T be more effective than supercharging... because it IS SuperCharging
Well, 50% of it. The other 50% comes from the script when on ICS.
Why do you think that website is integrated into the latest V6 Scripts?
That needs to be done in addition to the V6 script when using ICS roms to get 100%.
Of course, non ICS roms get 100% supercharged with the script itself since there's no need to patch services.jar

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!

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)

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
Theres something up with it because its def just this phone because nothing solves it at all

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.
