Code:
This guide is just something to give you choices, anything you do it's your job, but just get some inspiration;)
WARNING!!! I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone, just try not get too fuzzy with it, or you will brick your phone!!!
Most the thing here will be for rooted phones, if something not working don't blame me, blame GOOGLE...
This only Applies to stock GB and CM 7.1 by mik_os, any other ROMs may not be supported, sorry.
READ©Up There!!!
Any extra info and apps are welcome
* - No danger, definitely go for it!!!
** - This may make your phone unstable, but if you find the solution in time, you are fine...
*** - May make your O1 un-start-able...
**** - Can brick the phone, can destroy it forever!!!
Install CyanogenMod, it will save at least 100MB of your internal storage(as all apps are on ROM, LG apps are on internal memory in stock).
Also, may do much more better things to your phone, but be careful.
Try custom kernels by franco for overclock!!!
First of all, lets start with the CPU****
Use SetCpu
I will tell the frequencies, and what I recommend for, any other advises are good, for any frequency, or atleast the major ones(122-480-600-729-768-806-864)
122MHz** - Lowest, but there are some things:
- Use this if you don't use your phone, only for rare talking and stuff...
- If you have 2% battery drops in 2 mins after you turn the screen on, this is the problem of 122 min...
- If you use your phone more than 1 time/hour (no matter how much), don't use this as min...
245MHz* - Avoid it at all costs, it does nothing good, takes same battery as 480, but it is slower, finish tasks slower, don't use...
320MHz* - This is not good for anything...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
480MHz* - My favorite, 90% of my use, will save battery, fast response, maybe it will work as max a bit, some apps work like a charm on 480
- Anyone using the phone for anything else other than calling... this is the best!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
600MHz* - use it if no need for OverClock, as I noticed, only Angry Birds and Facebook app gets boosted...
729MHz** - Best Overclocking for battery, will not affect any of your phone, battery is as much as 600, no way you shouldn't use it, no heat up also!!!
768MHz** - best performance without affecting hardware, it will heat up a bit...
806MHz**** - Last one that will not burn it in 5 minutes, I would not go any higher...
864MHz**** - If this works on your phone, it is 100% new and 100% perfect!!!
MENTIONS, VERY IMPORTANT: It depends on your phone, manufacture errors, your phone may go stable @864MHz, or it may not go higher than 600... mine goes at 768MHz, any higher gets me KP...
If you don't need profiles, just get No Frills***
Governors
minmax - like the name, goes to min or to max, it is horrible!!!
Scary - a modified conservative, a bit weird... try it you may like it, better at battery than conservative, worse at gaming, non-gamers, try this!
SmartassV2 - Good, try, great... a better version of smartass, use this if you have it, great for fast gaming, but not good for long use...
SavagedZen - WTF IS THIS???????
smartass - it changes the frequency very good, it really is smart, see v2↑
conservative - goes up and down in stages, not 122→729, but 122→320→600→652→…, really good for long uses and short uses, not taking battery like others, but it has a lower start when gaming, lag in 1st 2 minutes, but then it is no more lag, tested on "Diversion", a really cool highend game.
ondemand - this is what you had when the phone came!!!
userspace - WTF IS THIS??????
powersave - keeps at minimum frequency...
interactiveX - modified version of interactive, which goes to max in second... it is same as SmartassV2, a bit stabler on my phone.
performance - stays at max...
SmartassV2 and InteractiveX have build-in sleep profiles, it saves battery when standby-ing and best performance at gaming, while scary gets you best battery and a usable phone, and conservative the best performance/battery.
Next, VM heap(RAM allowed for an app):*
This will take more RAM, but will boost the CPU and more things...
On CM7, go to performance settings-VM heap
On stock ROM, install VM heap tool from the market...
Set it to 32MB*, this is already done in CM7, but on stock ROM it is easy and then then BOOSTED...
24MB will slow apps...**
48MB will fill the RAM fast, making system autokill kill too fast...**
OR just change the value in build.prop
Use a simple launcher, that may save battery and use low CPU... Here are my recommends:***
Nemus Launcher*
- Looks a bit like LGHome, and takes less battery
- Very smooth, look at the video it has on the market...
- It really is fast response and quick launch, a new experience
- Very simple, smooth and
LauncherPro*
- Very good, my personal favorite, will save battery and keep options, will need to be updated if ICS comes, tho...
- Smooth, but no horizontal drawer...
ADW*
- I hate that this is hard control, not very smooth, YOU have to chose it, but if you tried more, you will see it is not the smoothest, not the most customisable, but a pretty good combination...
- You can get used to it, but if you used LGHome for more than a month, you won't need this, you will quit it!
Zeam*
- This one gets updated, and really fixes the bugs it had... it is not an usual one, but minimalistic, like it says
- Most of the big launcher won't get updated anymore, abandoned...
- This one is good, but it is not exactly smooth, but power save
GO Launcher**
- With the right combination, they say you have it smooth, I didn't
- Did 2 factory resets because of the corrupted data after a few glitches that made me remove the battery...
- DO NOT SET default if you want this, dangerous... only thing that did something bad when I was not rooted, got me bootloops((((((
Watch out the setting you enable, maybe you don't need all kinds of gestures, anything you don't use, DISABLE!!!*
APPS TO USE OR NOT TO USE, YOUR OPINION IS BETTER, THIS IS JUST MY ADVICE:
NO TASK KILLERS(ATK, ATM, TasKiller). Use minfree, set the values you need, the other tweaks you need and enjoy!
Juice Defender will only help you... really when does it help?????
Link2SD - easiest way to manage, freeze, uninstall, move2sd, any app management that requires root, except backup!!!
Just uninstall any app you don't need!
Data on Demand - Really good, try it
Freeze system apps (Link2SD above!!!) with ugly UI and slow, like the Browser and Gallery (YOU MUST), but get a better app before that, with all those missing functions...
Replace Gallery with QuickPic and Browser with Dolphin, which is the only one with cool UI, fast startup and FULL, Opera Mini and Mobile are NOT full, but they are fast
If you want to save your eyes, use Screen Filter*
Yahoo Mail and Gmail are huge hogs!!! If you don't need instant notifications, use stock for that, it refreshes automatically when you start it, takes 2 seconds to refresh, and no battery lost...
Disable profiles in SetCpu if you don't need, that takes battery too!
Use Autostarts, this is your problem, your apps, good luck, but watch out...*** If you want, google autostarts.apk, I got it that way
Disable unused settings, never use high quality in games and apps, that are made for hdpi, O1 is MDPI...*
Don't use wifi when it is not there, just hogs battery, I know some people use it everytime, everywhere, just get it on when you use it, or if you have at home...*
GPS* - This only works OUTDOOR, don't enable it in the house
Get brightness to minimum, will save your eyes and trust me, get it to max in sun and you see it perfect, get it off when at home and see it the same...*
AutoSync* - Disable sync for crappy apps, some things just sync without working at all...
Data* also takes lot of battery(very much, actually), so disable it when not in use, if you want it off when screen off, use Data on Demand
Also, empty your screens, don't use 10 widgets per screen, I use 1 and I am happy, they don't inform you that much, you know...
*Disable setting you don't need( like the high quality images in cm7 menu, what is it good at Optimus one?), eg: I never use gestures, I type Facebook faster than making an "f" in gestures, and that takes some of the CPU, disable everything you don't need or that doesn't help!!!
Angry birds(not seasons and Rio, only the classic) has an option to disable the background, that will make it 2x faster...
Disable history you don't need, flash when you don't need...*

FEEL FREE TO CONTRADICT ME OR GIVE ME MORE APPS AND ADVISES, TELL ME IF ANYTHING IS OUTDATED, AND FEEL FREE TO PRESS THANKS!!!****
suggestion #1 - lower the font size!
SetCPU - runs as a service, instead I'd suggest a boot script or No Frills
VM heap tool - just change the value in build.prop no need for an app
SD Cardbooster - use init.d script or add your desired value to init.local.rc
Autostarts - take it or leave it, most of the startup processes end up cached and not actually loaded into memory. It will improve boot times though.
Advanced Task Killer - Most experts don't suggest task killers... they're not needed.

OK this may help, but no average user can do them, they will just brick there phone...
In thinking about it, I hate Task Killers, Androids memory management is actually pretty good. Instead search "minfree" on the Market and play with the settings. It's safer and more effective.
Task killer + noob = disaster.

Ammm....no Hogs Here on 806, running smooth and hardly made a difference from 729-806 wrt battery draining FOR ME.
just make sure u dont keep all your apps open in the background.
and About the Task manager
i use TaskKiller its got a nice 1 button end apps widget that runs in 1x1 mode. And u can add running services to the ignore list, like DSP manager, Google Services, Messages etc that wont flood the Running apps list, And Whenever u use other apps like Market,Maps or the Browser and wont use it soon again u can end those apps and get some free ram over there.
Specially after Playing some games and browsing pics using a PicManager.

I cannot recommend a task killer, everyone knows about them, but memory managers are only for root, so they must get known, I will recommend no task killer, sorry(to avoid noobs getting lower performance just because.they can't make an ignore list...)
What should I do with cache, does it speed it up or just make some stuff slower, or cached data may even boost?

I disagree saying 806 or whatever is a battery hog. there is no recommended frequency, as everybody uses their phone differently. Some may use CPU intensive apps or functions that are only good for battery at maybe 806mhz. For those light users, overclocking isn't very good, as their need for CPU is less and overclocking just drains more battery.

Nice tips matee..I disagree with your point saying frequencies below 480 drain no less battery.(have read Franco n fserve sayn d same as you ) but fore me-
With 122-729 interactivex I lose 1% in 2hours .but with 480-729 interactivex I lost 2-3 % in 1 1/2 -2 hours on standby.
And I feel no lag at all while unclocking..

I don't know what to say, the 480 and 122 have same voltage, and the battery it takes works in SmartAssV2, interactiveX is made for gaming and using it, but I don't think it will keep at lowest, I will add that interactive governors are better at 122 min, but Amy others, I think best is 480, it depends so much on the governor, try scary, that is cool.to see how the frequencies change very odd...

This was just what I was gonna do now
What I do:
1. Install Titanium Backup, QuickPic, and another browser that's meant to be kill-able.
2. Freeze Android's default browser and Gallery.
3. Set the 2 things I downloaded as default.
Browser and Gallery had been the culprits of a lot of my battery leaks for the past 7 months. How'd I know? Watchdog. Install Watchdog. It's a lifesaver.
Also, no problems with GO Launcher

RAM MANAGER
IT IS NOT MY WORK, all credits goes to Juwe11
COMPATIBLE WITH ICE CREAM SANDWICH
REQUIREMENTS
Android 2.1+
Root
SUPPORTED DEVICES
All Android devices which have RAM 64+ (and more)MB
ABOUT
This application was made for making RAM of all android phone to the best optimization. This application improves perfomance of your phone in all directions. Switching between applications is very fast, your system will be smoothness as never before. You can fully use your multitasking and you still have as much memory as you need.
FEATURES
Balance - Option which makes your RAM to the best optimization, this option is for everyday using when you use your phone for the most functions and you want have fast phone without lags.
Balance (with more free memory) - This option is on the same base as balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have less RAM than 512 MB. This option makes your RAM to the best optimization with more free memory but with a bit less multitasking.
Balance (with more multitasking) - This option is on the same base as balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have more RAM than 512 MB. This option gives you more multitasking.
Hard Gaming - Option which stabilizes your RAM for playing the hardest games. Use this option for games which lags on your phone. Your games will be smoothness and without lags. Play GTA 3 and other heavy games without lags.
Hard Multitasking - Option for users which are really hard working on their phones. You can have a lot of running apps with fast switching between them and without lags.
Default (Samsung) - Default settings by Samsung, this settings also use phones as LG, HTC, etc.
Default (Nexus S) - Default settings which use all Google phone.
Default -This option reverts your RAM to your default settings, which you had before you install this app.
All Balance options include additional option "Non-killable launcher".
Chosen option is automatically set on each reboot.
You can easily switch between all options without rebooting.
WHY USE THIS APP
This application is the best solution for all who have problem with free memory, with multitasking, with slow swapping between applications or with slow speed of your phone. But I recommend to use this application all who want have better phone, because this application increase speed of your phone and other parameters which depend on RAM as much as never before.
WHAT THIS APP AFFECTS
OOM_ADJ (Out of memory)
Every process has value which gives the kernel a hint, which process it can kill in an OOM (out of memory) situation.
LMK (Lowmemorykiller)
Works with your applications in memory. It affects your multitasking and free memory. But Android works with memory differently than you may be accustomed. Android needs to have running applications in foreground because of fast switching between your applications. It means that it's not good if you have too much more free memory. Your system gives you so much memory as you need.
VM (Virtual Machine)
Works with file cache, amount of data, dirty data in memory. We managed them by setting the SWP(swappiness), VCP(vfs_cache pressure), DEC(dirty expire centisecs), DWC(drity writeback centisecs), DRA(dirty ratio), DBR(dirty background ratio) and drop caches and we found the best optimization of these values to make several option for different using your phone. Basically it controls in general whole system speed, speed of launching applications, browsing files, switching speed through applications, overall process of the application and battery endurance.
DO NOT USE RAM SCRIPTS AND TWEAKS
If you want be really sure that application works, I recommend do not use some RAM script and tweaks. I tested application with RAM script and it worked, but if you want be really sure, do not use those RAM script and tweaks.
FREE VERSION
Free version will have only Balance option.

Hi everyone,
This is the first time owning a Samsung device, so the pegasusq governor is a new thing to me, I read about what it actually is on a thread but I wanted to ask to fellow S3 owners what are they using for great battery life - performance ratio?
I'm running Omega 6.0, slipstreamed loads of crap that is not needed (from the "safe to remove" thread) with Apex Launcher. I'm only using 2 homescreens, dark wallpaper, etc, the typical works to try and improve battery life.
Now the thing is, with SetCPU I'm running the default pegasusq governor ranging from 200mhz -1400mhz. Is the pegasusq governor the right choice here? Isn't it basically a variant of the OnDemand governor but Samsung proprietary for quadcore CPUs? I also recall reading a mention of S3's freezing or not waking up when it's set from the lowest underclocking point (200mhz), is that right? I've been using this for a few hours and no problems yet, but just wanted to know what are everyone elses experiences and what's the best configuration that has worked individually for you!
Cheers! Hope I complied with the rules, I did do a search but didn't find anything of this nature apart from a few separate questions!
I use the same governor, 100Mhz - 1704Mhz. No issues. Works great.
Siyah kernel is using pegasusq so i think it is the best governer there is. if you're on stock kernel or lowest underclocking is 200mhz but in custom kernels you can use 100mhz.
I have set my SetCPU to 100mhz - 1200mhz and undervolting all 18-steps to -50mv. I seldom reboot my phone but not encounter any freeze on boot
You should try tweaks for improving the battery life and peformance. Like supercharger, zipalling , random build.prop tweaks.... Etc xD but yeah use the samsungs "for quad core"
Thank you for the prompt replies everyone!
I remember with my Desire the whole development community was pretty much "set in stone" if you will, so it was really easy to choose a kernel etc.
Is there a kernel that you recommend? Is anyone using a "Screen Off" profile without any problems? If so what's the range you have it set at? That's what I was mostly scared as I remember on my Desire the lockscreen or taking calls would lag quite a bit but obviously this is a different beast altogether!
I'm also using AutoKiller Memory with Extreme Settings and some tweaks applied as well.
I use Siyah clocked 100-1704 screen on. 100-300 screen off. No issues.

3rd party apps don't to any good to battery life it only consumes more(for me) cause it's always running in your background which consumes memory and also battery life.
stock task manager is pretty good, been use it always. Closing all apps and clearing memory

Nah, Autokiller isnt a task manager.
Basically, Android automatically kills empty processes (etc) at specified RAM levels. It does this anyway. But on High end RAM packed devices, these values are too low to be of any use as the phone will seldom hit that low a level of free RAM.
Autokiller simply adjusts these values to be more useful for high end devices.
Actually, you don't need autokiller to do this. You can do it in an init.d script although I've not tested this on the SGS3 as I haven't seen a need.
Here is an example I wrote for my Desire AOSP ROM:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "8192,16384,19200,23040,25600,30720" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
Default SGS3 is:
Code:
8192, 10240, 12288, 14336, 16387, 25600
These are for:
Foreground App, Visible App, Secondary Server, Hidden App, Content Provider, Empty 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.
User's tweaks:
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:

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.

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...
