did it on my tablet and it "seems" faster someone tell me if its not just my imagination
you just used CMW zip? on what ROM?
worked for me. stock tab with pershoot kernel apps load faster. its like a dream come true
I flashed it via cwm on bonsai Rom. Can't say I really notice a difference. Couldn't have hurt though.
pretty sure that script does nothing more than what autokiller has been doing for years (with more options + gui + market app)... http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller

If you read the whole thing, you would know that it also changes the virtual memory for each app. This helps with multitasking, exiting and closing apps, etc.
So, it does more than Autokiller does. For me its faster and it doesn't crash my phone or tablet so, I like it.

No idea what that means. Apart from the lowmemorykiller tweaks all I see it changing are some swap / cache write parameters (this are properties of the system vm space not each apps'), most of which is handled in the advanced tweaks section in autokiller. Not to mention the autokiller advanced tweaks also deal with polling parameters of services other than just memory management. It's the more complete, tried and tested solution.
did it on bonsai with CWM yea i dont notice it but doesnt hurt...
Just flashed ona stock, and rooted tab. Ui transitions are improved, but have yet to test serious multitasking.
Guys this will probably not offer any performance improvements considering the highest page size limit set is at 72MB. The GT10.1 has 1GB of RAM, I doubt the tiny low memory page limits set by this script will have any effect.
I would suggest more appropriate page numbers, but it would be better if you just used autokiller over modifying a script like this, it does the same thing but with a GUI like I have already mentioned in the thread. The only advantage this script may have is that settings apply on boot so it could potentially improve boot speed (which is insignificant to me atleast)
Hmm, and I immediately noticed a difference with more free ram. Before, and it would tank, and and slow everything up. I but maybe with that app or some tweaks it could be even better for us!

Just flashed it on bonsai with touchwiz and using it for past 24 hrs. Runs beautifully whether its a placebo or not i notice it and I love it.
I'm curious if any of these will negate each other. Battery life isn't a concern, I've got 2 spares that are fully charged at all times on me and access to a car charger. I actually get about 8 hours off one battery with the following setup.
[Recovery]
Team Win Recovery project 2.0
[SD format settings adjusted with TWRP 2.0]
EXT4
EXT4 Partition size 2048
EXT4 Swap Size 32mb
Rom flash Process
Flash both of TREVE's Format EXT4 System zip and EXT4 Data Zip files
Flash Eternity 3.0 R242
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash Chads "Sense Anthrax RLS8 B3" Kernel
Wipe Dalvik and Cache once more
Reboot
Rom set up process
Sign into google and let phone sit for 10-15 minutes while phone syncs data and kernel settles
Reboot to recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik (as per chad's instructions)
Reboot to system
Install V6 supercharger and set for 1000hp
Open SETCPU
OC to 1.5ghz
Performance governor
Enjoy daily battery rape?
I'm just curious if anyone knows if this set up conflicts somehow. Thanks guys.

Yes it's very beneficial if the ROM you're running doesn't already have some tweaks in it to mess with the memory settings.
The 1000hp setting in the script is way too aggressive if you like to leave apps open or multitask often; if you have several apps like a music player, maps, games, etc, once you end these tasks while on the 1000hp setting, your phone's used memory will drop to about 300 MB and you'll often have to wait for widgets to reload once you go back to your home screen (not the icons, I'm only talking about actual widgets)
to the OP, I know that Virus has memory tweaks in his ROMs, you can tell if you go to the memory settings in System Tuner on a stock rooted ROM and then on one of V's newer ROMs, the settings are much different.
You probably wouldn't notice it at first (I sure didn't), but once you get, say, 10 apps open at once and go to your task manager, you'll always have about 200 MB free instead of ~100mb on a stock ROM (which is the point your phone will normally get pretty laggy). I have recently even forgot to end battery-hogging apps like words with friends and angry birds in the task manager when I'm done with them because now my phone doesn't lag anymore when there's a bunch of worthless active apps sitting in my memory. Look at that how you want to, but I view that as a good thing lol
Addition: also to the OP, I wouldn't bother with a CPU controlling app like system tuner or setcpu for now at least. There are tweaks in the ROM you specified in the OP that will override whatever settings you choose anyway. Don't believe me? try changing your clock speed to anything else. Your settings will stick until your phone goes to sleep. When it wakes up, both cores will go online, the max settings will change to 1512 MHz (only if you're on a custom kernel; if you're on a stock kernel it'll do this but to 1188 MHz), and your governor will change to ondemand (if you decided to change that to something else as well).
uh. right.

Lmao... I am happy running stock speeds.. I have seen in past builds on some of the roms that use OC kernels cpu peg out to bouncing all over when it shouldn't be...
I prefer stickin stock since battery life works well.. If you wanna overclock a computer I am all for it.. Tho a phone.. Is a phone in the end.. You can push it alil bit and not have insane battery drain.. Push it too much and you will have some intense drain...
For me, the ultimate rom would be the reliability and battery of stock, the USB tether option from stock too but with the CM7 theme engine.
What would your Ultimate Rom be?
A very good balance between battery, performance, looks and customization. I would obviously love stock battery. Performance can be better than stock for sure. I like the way stock roms look, cm7 adw is not so smooth really, cm9 looks cool. And as for customization....some roms have "Power button ends call" enabled by default and it cannot be disabled, I do not like that....small customizations matter a lot.
Waiting for Maclaws AOKP, it will probably have all of the above.

I wasn't talking about CM7 adw. I'm talking about all those different themes you can install for any CM7 rom in general. Not just the launcher.
As for performance, 0 scripts for me. Ram Manager has me covered no matter what rom I'm using . Oh and I NEED apps2SD too.
Ultimate rom Hmmm... Good battery of course
Great customization
Agree zero scripts ram manager is the best
Visual is fine because in the end it's the theme and launcher we use
Barebones I like my own different apps for different purposes
Basically a 10 hour battery with optimal usage no compromises
hmm
cm9 with touchwiz from sgsIII + folders on app drawer
and that it has highly customisable ui
Mine would be one to dominate the world with a single swipe.

Highly recommend Stocklite V6. Only problem I had was because my SD was corrupted and had problems reading apps from SD so I had to do a full phone wipe and format SD.
You could say this rom is almost my ultimate rom. But its missing the CM7 theme engine :'(
Also, I got 12hrs on 3G the other day 122-806 Smartass V2. Moderate use too.

How is that even possible? 3G consumes like 3x as much battery as edge. Unless you're using your phone during the full 5-6 hrs non stop, then yeah. That's explainable.

Yeah dude, it has A2SD. Just download A2SD GUI from the market and you're all set. I promise you won't regret it. Also, delete all other scripts besides A2SD in the ini folder. The dev made a mistake putting those in and he now recommends to remove them which will also result in your booting time decreasing drastically to almost instant.
Install Ram Manager instead and set it to Balance (More Multitasking) and you won't get any lag at all. Well, I don't. That's if you're running on 122-806 Smartass V2 as well just like I am. Then you'll be all set
If you follow what I've said, you won't look for another rom for a LONG time.
What so there isn't enough of a selection of roms or something?

Hello again,
Having the phone with following specs:
Android Version: 4.0.4 (Stock)
Bootloader Status: Unlocked
Root Status: Rooted
Firmware: 4.1.B.431
Looking for:
1. The best Clock Work Mod
Same time have the fesibility to reset phone to factory mode
(Could it be done by flashing the generic firmware?)
2. RAM Availability
This has become a serious concern. I only have 70-80MB Ram available all time. When I hit the phone app, it takes 5 seconds to bring out the keypad....
Need advice on How to manage/install scripts.
Thanks again.

2 things.
1) ClockworkMod Recovery is mostly used to make full backups, format the system partitions and install custom ROMs.
2) Resetting phone to factory status can be done in Settings-Privacy or repair software via Update Service.

Root your phone and remove unnecessary apps. Search on forum, there is a list about it. Also, search for V6 Supercharger.
And having 70-80 MB RAM isn't bad at all. It's quite enough for normal usage.

It is because of unoptimized app. Not related to RAM much.
Unused ram is wasted ram. U wont getting any problem like lags etc unless free ram is too low eg 10-20mb.
Again, unused ram is wasted ram
Your lags probably came from cpu governor/disk io scheduler. Flash custom kernel and experiment with other cpu governor/io scheduler

and like someguyfromhell said, remove all bloatware.

Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding some stuff.
CWM, which one do you suggest to install? Since I wanted to try out some roms and get to know Android well. And by meaning resetting to factory, I wanted to know, would it also remove CWM along with the reset?
I am a bit peculiar about the cwm, can you suggest me some?
Secondly, Optimizing App? It's the default Contact.apk, it literally gets my nerves. And the keys lag like about 10-50ms when I type. Any workaround?
PS: I removed lot of bloated apps already, so I wouldn't blame them.

Understood. But isn't this a logic? If we initially had a lesser ram and start an app, wouldn't it lag? And, tbh, 80MB is now low, since some games like Temple Run hog the ram up.
android had its own way of managing apps/ram.
newly closed app were cached in ram to make it faster for relaunch, and sometime it launch automatically on event without we even notice it. thats why we got app like autostart to manage that behaviour.
and when ram goes low, android will clean those cached app from ram using minfree value as threshold, thus we got app like auto memory manager to adjust those minfree value.
either way u shoudn't be worry much about ram, and dont use taskiller to kill app/process.

If I am not mistaken, it is a bug with ICS. Someone correct me if I am wrong, I do not have my phone to test it.
Yep, key lag is an ICS thing. Even on some custom ROMs you still get keypress lag.
If you're going custom all the way (unlocked bootloader, custom kernel & ROM etc), for ICS you can check out expeacer's ExtendedStockKernel V2. It's got CWM 5.5 so there's no more of the 8 empty lines before option shmuck. Makes it a lot easier to use. Mesa kernel is also a good option and according to most, extends battery life by quite a bit..
Hope that helps

App for Auto Start, app for managing apps from self-kicking. And these apps pile up if you keep looking.
And by cache, I guess you're talking about Dalvik-Cache? I saw an option in "Developer Options", Don't keep activities. I wish it had "White-List" and black list, you seriously wouldn't need those countless apps.
btw, I do not any task killer, since most of them have the same algorithm and do the same ****(no offense), but I use SwitchPro Widget, since sony doesn't come up with default switches like Samsung does. It's native app killing switch is pretty flawless.
Does anyone also notice the slow loading widgets (Widget cannot load error) at the startup. I Use go launcher native theme.

Its noticeable on stock kernel. Noop gave faster picture loading in gallery, music loading in music app and media scanning upon unplugging usb and after reboot than default deadline.
But on custom kernel those added io scheduler probably patched already to suites flash memory better, thus faster on readahead, well atleast on my kernel i've patched them.

I'll keep this in my mind.
Just wondering what apps I can use to improve the performance of my YPG1 US version without installing a ROM. I have installed a couple roms before but was a bit frustrated by losing certain functions and one of them actually made it slower.
Device is rooted atm but only rooted apps I think are SetCPU, AdFree, and Superuser.
I use it mainly for video and reading so I would love to be able to change the brightness from the dropdown menu. I also have a problem with XBMC crashing when I use the Navi-X program most of the time or going very very slowly when running Navi-X so would love to be able to use that, I think it has to do with ram usage even though I don't have that many background apps running.

Just a heads up, but have you tried REDD? It is literally a modified version of our stock rom, and you don't lose any functions.
Firstly, you can install a custom kernel if you want. It does help with performance (you get a boost in available ram), and will give you more options with setCPU. Now if you don't want to install anything then you can still setup your min frequency to at least 400 mhz, and keep max at 1000mhz on setCPU. This should keep things zippy.
Another thing you can do is change out the launcher. Many people don't realize this, but using a different launcher can vastly increase the performance of pretty much any android device. I recommend using Holo Launcher, since it is light on ram, and gives a pretty decent performance boost. However, many people love ADW Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher&hl=en, or Launcher Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fede.launcher&hl=en so if you haven't changed out your launcher then try that as well.
Our players have a knack for using too much ram. For some reason, it may say you don't have that many background apps running but you actually do (you just can't see them in the task manager). For me, I found an app called auto memory manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman&hl=en. This app is really simple to use. Basically you set a threshold for each category of apps, and once the available ram goes under that threshold it automatically frees up ram. When I was running it on REDD I almost always had 100mb-150mb free. It kept my device very smooth. I still use it on the JB roms. I had mine set like this 40, 70, 100, 120, 140, 160.
Along with auto memory manager, you can also install clean master https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en, it's pretty much the ccleaner of android. It cleans up junk files that clutter up your device, and you can also set it to free up ram along with auto memory manager. It works awesome.
You say you want to still be able to hange the brightness from the dropdown? There's an app for that lol. Notification Toggle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en, is pretty much like power toggles on other roms. I have to say it doesn't look exactly like that on GB (that's what it looks like on ics+ roms). It looks like this; You can set this up almost anyway you like and add almost any toggles you want
Hope this helps.
I think you should try an app called Greenify that is available on the Play Store. It "hibernates" apps that are not running so those apps won't run in the background and take up valuable ram or drain your precious battery. (You can pick what apps you want to hibernate)
You should try it out

To be honest they are all about the same performance wise. I went with Klin's R3 kernel, because for me Terrasilent was giving me an issue where it would boot into recovery, and wipe all my data.
You do not need to install anything in order to be able to adjust the brightness from the dropdown menu. I only know for sure that this works on the yp-g1( stock rom), and that it does not work on yp-g70. Other models I do not know about.
All you have to do is when you put your finger on the top of the screen as if pulling down the menu, just press and hold until the shade that pops up dissapears, at wich point you can slide your finger left or right to decrease or increase the brightness. Hope this helps.

Wow thanks that worked. It doesn't adjust it through the full range I think but that's nice and easy, I couldn't get the toggle thing working.
