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

what's the best i/o scheduler???
@GxGaNi
Here are some tweaks you might wanna try: http://goo.gl/1OuLC
but I would suggest you make a backup of all your stuff and make a clean new ROM flash with V6 installed....
and like someguyfromhell said, remove all bloatware.
Might try this program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683399

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.

I disagree about that.
The real difference with different I/O schedulers is quite small.

All Recovery's are the same, doesn't matter which one you install. Functionality is the same.

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.
@Someguy
Thanks again.

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.
Not sure if anyone else noticed this Rom over in the I9100 forums but it looks great. Pretty much the best of both worlds the smoothness of a Sammy Rom and the some of the best functions of a AOSP Rom such as dialer, SMS, contact, etc. I tried to use the Flash-aholicsTool with no success. It seems to process it okay but when you flashl the rom you'll get a lot of "System UI' has stopped working errors.
I might be in the minority but...this looks like it would be a great rom if someone with a LOT more skills then me was able to make it run.

Seems like a nice rom...I think I'll give it a spin...the Chameleon v1.2 rom I was referring to is based on the latest sammy release XWLPU 4.0.4.
Thanks
Hopefully you full wiped before flashing. If not that could be why it isn't working for you.

No I did a full wipe....with a format of the normal (data, system, etc) actually tried multiple times.
I was able to get it to work. I had on force close for android.phone but once I cleared it I was able to use and make a call without issues. I did not test out the Chameleon v1.2 very much. Just was curious.
So here is what I did.
1. Flash the rom completely and then booted it up completely.
2. Hold down the power button until the popup appears and choose reboot, then recovery.
3. Choose the Chameleon add on if you want it. (I did this step).
4. Go back to recovery and choose the i777updater-Chameleon I made and flash it in cwm. It will give you the mic swapped siyah kernel 4.1.4 and add other files for our button config, CSC files, etc.
5.Reboot and it worked for me. Again I did NOT thoroughly test for it as it just seems like a version of CM9 or something from my very limited use. Hope this helps.

I had that same problem the first time I flashed it. Then I went back in and flashed it again and had the one force close but then it all worked after. On the first flash it seemed to me like it was an issue with the cwm recovery version. I was on cwm 6. and when I went back to recovery I still had cwm 6. and thought that was weird unless they were using it as well. Then when I flashed it the second time, reboot the phone, went back to recovery to flash the add on then I had cwm 5. then I rebooted the phone again, then again went to recovery and flashes the zip I made to fix the button and all. I am not positive here but it did start working for me.
I only tried it out for a short time, maybe 30-45 minutes. It just seemed like a version of cm in a way so it wasn't of much use to me. I didn't really see any of the Samsung stuff in it.

OK I am downloading it again and will try to check it out. I will change a couple of things like the contacts.apk or phone.apk or? since that is the error that I saw. If I can get it to where it is stable I will send you a pm with a link to my edited version of it. I am just gonna kang it because there has to be something that can be done for us. I am NOT saying I will port it and post it anywhere. It is their work. I will just see what I can figure out for personal satisfaction and then share with ya what I did.
Solely because it is bugging me seeing that it isn't working. I have NEVER had an issue with ANY i9100 rom not working so gonna give it a try.
Sent from My SGH-I777 Running Red Reaper Rom
That'd be awesome, RockRatt. Let us know what your experiences are.
FYI, the phone crashes are presumably due to the CSC files from your updater zip. The ROM dev took out all the CSC stuff, and I did not get those crashes prior to your zip. The problems I am having are: SystemUI crashes unexpectedly and frequently, and "Preparing USB Storage, checking for errors" will sometimes remain in status bar permanently after boot.
The SystemUI crashes remind me of the ICS leaks back in the day that no one could figure out. Finally I think Entropy (who else?) found out it was related to mms APNs or something. I don't quite remember.
It's strange b/c we have been able to run i9100 ROMs with only kernel and keylayout changes. Not sure why this one would be different.
Things I have tried:
Full wipe, format system AND sdcard
Run ROM without external sdcard
Run ROM with inlcuded (SpeedMod) kernel to see if more stable
remove Busybox, unroot
Reinstall Busybox/Superuser
playing with APNs
switching modems
I think I got it all to work properly. So far NO issues at all. I will upload it and shoot whoever wants it through a pm. Again this is NOT my work so I cannot put it in here. I just got it to work and put it into 1 zip file to flash. I replaced the original kernel with siyah 4.1.4 mic swap from AJ. So shoot me a pm if you want it.

Use Ktoon's Flash-aholicsTool. It works perfectly with this rom.
EDIT: Data won't be enabled by default; after booting and going through the setup wizard, tick "enable data" and on the next reboot, it will connect.
I guess there's something either with my hardware, or with the way AT&T's network is where I live. Seems you and RockRatt have no issues, and others like me and OP have nothing but. It's weird because I can't think of any other I9100 ROMs being this device/region specific.

I didnt plan on using it too long anyways, even with no issues for me and it did seems smooth. I like using CM10 or one of my ucle5 roms personally. It just didnt have enough for me to stay on it. I like more of a themed rom and it is basically a look alike (graphics wise) as CM9 to me. I didnt see anything of the samsung apps or asop apps I cannot get with CM10. Hope for those that are determined to get it working figure it out. Personally AJs UCLE5 is just as smooth and fast without glitches of any kind. My roms I made were based off his work and they just work. When i like living on the edge i use CM10 which also flashing it every few days pretty much cures my flash addiction.

Tips
Use an alternative launcher
I've included the stock AOSP launcher to keep everything, well, as stock as possible, but I've noticed Apex or Nova to be smoother
Turn on Force GPU Rendering
Ok I don't know the why's and how's or even if this is 100% correct but I've made some observations about GPU rendering in AOSP and Samsung ROMs:
Samsung ROMs seem to respect application manifests with regards to GPU rendering. If an app's manifest has hardwareAccelerated=false, the Rom won't use GPU rendering for that app.
AOSP ROMs seem to have GPU Rendering always enabled (despite what the Force GPU Rendering checkbox says in Settings) and override the hardwareAccelerated tag in applications.
I've noticed much smoother scrolling in applications which have hardwareAccelerated=false if Forced GPU Rendering is checked in Samsung ROMs. Root Explorer is a good example. Try it yourself - open up Root Explorer and fling the screen up and down a few times. Then exit (properly, using the back button, not just clicking the home button) and check Force GPU Rendering in Settings. Open up Root Explorer and try flinging the screen again. Massive difference.
For a smoother and more AOSP-like experience, tick Force GPU Rendering.
Chameleon ThunderBolt! Addon
I've selected a some particular scripts for Chameleon from pikachu01's awesome ThunderBolt! collection.
Better performance, better battery life through Linux kernel tweaks catered for Android OS and flash memory.
Better battery life and performance through usage of screenstate_scaling whereby it switches thresholds/VM tunables depending on your screen state.
Less RAM usage through zipalign.
The screenstate_scaling addon will perform VM scaling and governor tunables scaling to get the best of battery life and performance.
TCP_Buffers script in /etc/bolt_scripts to increase TCP buffers for better network performance.

FAQ
I'm already on v1.0/1.1 Do I need to full wipe to use v1.2?
No, a non-wipe flash should be fine, although if you encounter any issues please perform a full wipe and test again before posting about possible bugs. If coming from any other Rom, you must wipe.
I just flashed it and my phone is running like a snail
As with all new installs, give the media scanner time to do its work and the system to build caches etc before judging the performance of (any) Rom
MTP is not working on my Mac
Make sure you have Android File Transfer installed, and, oddly, click on Camera (PTP) in the USB computer configuration dialogue

Hi,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro running stock 4.1.B.0.587 with MESA kernel 3.5. I have frozen/uninstalled quite a few of the bundled applications and I have replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher Prime. After a reboot, the phone is quite snappy and fast, no lag when redrawing and everything is working very nicely together. However, after a few hours to a day of use, it gets quite sluggish: slow redraws, animations stutter, apps block/hang for a few seconds etc.
I would like to investigate this further, but I'm not quite sure of how to proceed. One thing that I have seen is that if I go Settings->Apps->Running, after a few hours to a a day of use, there are a few applications or services which say "restarting".
Do you guys have any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you!
One think I would suggest you is to debloat your phone as much as possible and then search for more ways!

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try it one of these days. Any other ideas, guys?
Use Android Assistant (18 features) and clean the cache. Do it often, ICS really generates a lot of cache compared to GB.
Though the best thing to do would be to flash a GB rom if you want your phone to be really smooth :good:
Simply restarting the phone will do the job!
Restart it once every (two) day(s).

Change the minfree and ADJ settings.
EDiT: check your vfs_cache_pressure value
If it's low, set a higher setting. MESA kernel sets it to 30, which is quite low and causes lags at the end of the day.
You can try to raise it to default stock 100 and see if that helps
Code:
echo "200" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
Flash a custom ROM. Usually they last longer without lag then stock ROM.
Also another solution is, you can try my X-PLODE tweaks. I think it should really boost your phone since it's on stock ROM.
Based on my experience after flashing almost EVERY available ROM and kernel on my st15i, I can suggest:
1. Use a memory manager like Smart RAM, Autokiller Memory Optimizer etc.
2. Use a cache cleaner app and set it to clear cache once or twice a day.
3. Use an app like SystemCleanup (free) and delete any system app you don't use or like.
4. You can send apps like your custom browser (I strongly suggest Nova) or GPS app to /system/app/ via SystemCleanup.
5. Flash custom kernel (I strongly suggest LuPuS or MESA Hybrid).
6. Find a light and fast custom ROM that suits your needs and flash it.
7. Enjoy. The power of Android is in your hands !
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time and answering me.

This is still in Beta, more is yet to come!!!!!!
Kernel InformationGeneral Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that

Here you will find all of our tweaks to the kernel. We are providing these pre-configured settings as a means to assist S4 users with further improving their overall experiences on this already beast of a phone or to simply use as a baseline to work upon tweaking further. Please Keep in mind that results will always vary per device regardless on the settings being used. Apply what works best for you and your phone. We're here to help eachother out and with more options comes better experiences for everyone running the KT-SGS4 kernel. Big thanks to ALL who have contributed!
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" file. The "Adjustments" file is just for easy view of all changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone. In case of .bin files, optionally rename the file(s) as .txt
2. Copy ONLY the profile(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" file) to /sdcard/KTweaker folder using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open Ktweaker app and click on "Restore Prefs from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Choose the one you want to apply.
5. After applying, make sure the "Set options on boot" setting on the main menu of KTweaker has a little green text bellow confirming that the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
Balanced Bull: Reloaded (updated: 11~15~13)
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and has gained an incredible amount of feedback. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
https://copy.com/6DYYijYNqifx
Nightmare To Remember
This will likely become your beautiful, never ending nightmare.. It offers a unique balance between battery and performance but unlike Balanced Bull, it is slightly more performance oriented due to the more aggressive scale up to max CPU. However, only 2 cores will be used for the majority of the time so you can still enjoy a nice buttery smooth interface with just enough juice to last you through the day.

Bless The Child v3 (updated: 10~25~13)
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
https://copy.com/CZdfHiaZEOAu
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
https://copy.com/xWpFNDtIsQHe
Day Of Reckoning
Very similar to Nightmare To Remember but is aimed slightly more towards battery without deteriorating much of the performance. It is based off the Pegasusq governor.
https://copy.com/vynBURHcsOUl
Dead By April v2.2 (updated: 11~15~13)
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further . It now focuses more on snappiness but still maintains it's well known battery conservation. It manages to maintain a smooth ui for your average daily use.

Project Icarus by @mamba720027
So some may wonder why the name "Icarus",why not Hyper Performance or Deadly Good Battery.
Well the reason and to begin explination,short history.
Icarus is a greek mythology who is seen today as a mythical pioneer that tried to conquer the skies.
I like that mythology cause it kinda corresponds to my own saying "fly high or fall hard" which means to aim high or fail trying. So their you have it folks and thus the profile name "Icarus".
And onto explination of each profiles.
The first is "Performance" which is catered for straight out performance with also good battery performance.
This one is for when u dont give a rats flying balls about battery really and just want everything super fast and smooth. But you maybe surprise of battery performance. I recommend everyone try this profile first. My current favorite
The second is "Conservative" this is for those seeking performance but also better battery performance than the first.
This one is the middle man or lady as u may want to refer to it. It gives the best of both worlds,performance and battery. So if the first leave you stranded then fear not, this is the one to turn too
The third is "Kamikaze" which means "god wind". It either knocks the daylight out of your Galaxy S4 due to its high undervolteing and mean intent on Battery Performance but still snappy.
This one the undervolting is of my personal voltage table that runs stable for me with other tweaks. If it runs successfully for anyone else then battery performance may be great.
This one is for those that likes the thrill of trying something new and unsure if it will work

Undisputed 3 (updated: 12~11~13)
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
https://copy.com/H0FUiELjgegB
ECLIPSE v2 (updated: 10~25~13)
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
https://copy.com/fgFWgW30IE38
Asking Alexandria
Another battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.

Project Daylight v2 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Day Light is focused mainly on battery conservation. I felt that its useless if its not smooth and lags alot so I add performance into the mix createing a profile that offers both while its first and foremost goal "battery performance" is still preserved and not diminish. This profile is yet unique and on a different level from my early release of "Icarus"
The contents are 3 profiles unique in their own way, "Daylight", "Daybreak" and "Experimental" along with a "Extra" folder containing wallpapers I created on our S4 for fun while testing . Kind of gives me some inspiration and sense of feel of what my objective is.
Daybreak is a crossbread profile of my Icarus Performance profile and Daylight. Its simply utilizing the performance power behind Icarus Performance profile while useing Daylight profile governor settings as its core to boost battery performance
The experimental profile is heavily undervolted/Underclocked with tweaked scheduler and governor. I taught if some of you could run it stable then it may produce great or mix results

What Lies Beneath
This is an extreme battery performance setup in which essentially transforms your quad-core device into a dual core device.
Why "What Lies Beneath"?
You'll find that during light to moderate operations the cpu remains at lower frequencies for an extended period of time and will only jump to max when needed. Although it's clocked at a max of 1.3ghz it maintains a surprisingly smooth and snappy feel to your device at such low frequencies. This is where battery life is also expected to come in to play as well.
https://copy.com/PXAKKLMFdNDU
Ktoonsified v2 (updated: 12~23~13)
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez! This is a performance oriented option in which also offers a great deal of battery life. Haven't tried these settings yet? then what are you waiting for!! Load em up and be prepared for one of the smoothest and snappiest experiences ever!

Sleeping Dragon by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Sleeping Dragon V2 Single Core
This is a single core profile aimed at consumeing the least battery for a time when you will be away from home or at work and away from the charger. It was a profile i played with at first as i did not expect it to mount as much with apps and system UI needing a right amount of performance from a CPU to meet todays tasks in performance. In the end i was able to tame the dragon and make it work as best as possible to achieve its goal
Sleeping Dragon V1 Quad-Core
This is the counter part of Sleeping Dragon V2 but with many tweaked parameters to make it a fully functional 4 Core base profile in hopes to achieve close or same battery performace as its single core entity. Unfortunately i still am not sure if it measures up but what i know from previous test with settings @Stock it hold its own in battery department. I am pleased with the results although i would wish to see some light usage results from users.I must give credits to Luigi for useing parts from his Balanced Bull Script, and Undisputed 3 Script and part from my Crimson Dragon Script. I am pleased to present users with this 4 Core or Quadcore profile

Smooth Operator v3 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
This profile utalize all 4 cores on demand and serves as being a balance between battery and performance. Its as smooth as possible and utalize the full cpu power while operateing sensibly in governor scaleing.

Hydra
Eclipse and Kamikaze clash with one another in this hybrid profile (BIG thanks to @mamba720027 for the amazing work done on Kamikaze!). This is perfect for those who favor one or both of these profiles. With the merging of some of the essential performance and battery elements of each profile as well as a few minor adjustments, this one also stands as it's own profile and it flies!.

Ghost Rider by @galaxys3man30
this setup can benchmark on 1890,1944 and 1998 and its been really good on battery even thou its a performance setup think im going to call it ghost rider cuz its a sleeper yea it shows good battery life but behind that is the raw performance that is on demand when needed.

*Stardust v2* by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~7~13)
This Profile I put together is based on the "AbyssplugV2" governor.
Everything is tweaked and the profile can run by itself or either use the "smooth operator V2" Script or Luigi's "Hydra" Script.
Both are found in Post#8 of the OP. The choice is yours.

Crimson Dragon by @mamba720027
This is a profile that i put together from a lost in the thread Dual Core profile "Lazy Dragon". What was suppose to be a V2 Update of it turned into a 4 Core profile and something totally new, Crimson Dragon. This profile is a variable of Performace and keeping things balance. Its very smooth on TW and produce great results on AOSP as well threw testing and feedback. Please enjoy this new addition :good:

Ooh very nice. I was waiting for this. I also used TKmod on my S3 and got some insane battery life. Thanks for coming over!
Is it still necessary to rename those files in TW for the s4? I was under the impression its no longer needed. Could be wrong. Let me know team KT if it should still be done.

No need to rename any. As far as I know on my S4 there is only smd and it doesn't cause any drain like it did for some on S3 so just skip the rename and restore section of those by selecting none on both.
Hey guys converting over to S4 from my old S3. Do I need to reflash TK mod after I update my Kernel? Anyone have any pimping settings so far? I notice people keep mentioning Ktoonz 7-7 version for TW has anyone tried his new 8/9 Kernel for TW someone said it's fixed?

REQUIREMENTS.
MUST BE ROOTED WITH RECOVERY.
HAVE INIT.D SUPPORT for method 1.
HAVE TERMINAL EMULATOR for method 2.
NOTE: This may work for all android devices but is only tested on a LG D851. The mod will install on all devices but may give unwanted results. If it works let us know.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
XDA and I are NOT responsible if anything wrong happens to your device by using this mod. Always make sure you have a backup ready if needed.
ABOUT THIS MOD.
Here is a very simple mod that I wanted to share. This is what has been labeled in the past as the build property to remove a FPS cap on all android devices. This doesn't actually do that but you will see an increase in frames per second by adjusting the EGL swap interval. Unfortunately, this property has always had big issues with visual artifacts that made it useless to use.
I found it frustrating that we could obtain such a high FPS but plagued with issues. So I spent some time and found a new value. One that could actually work on all android devices. Instead of 1 for stock or 0 for modified. Here is the new value...
debug.egl.swapinterval=-60
A general description...
https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/sdk/docs/man/html/eglSwapInterval.xhtml
While other negative values may work, -60 brought the most bang for the buck when it came to benchmarks. I am truly excited about finding a way to make it work and although it's just a new value, I would appreciate if you could give me credit if using this property as it is the first time it will actually work the way we want it. This value didn't just fall from the sky. Certainly no need to ask for any permissions.
WAYS TO USE THIS MOD.
I figured many people would at least like to try this out so I made it as easy as possible for newer and more advanced users. The mod is actually really easy to apply. Simply add it to your build.prop file and reboot or use one of methods below.
METHOD 1.
Use the proper flashable zip to install into init.d so the mod is ready directly after a reboot.
METHOD 2. (recommended)
Use the proper flashable zip to install into /system/xbin and call upon it when needed and disable it when not needed.
INSTALLATION.
Method 1
version 1.1
1. Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603390
2. Flash in recovery.
3. Reboot.
METHOD 2.(recommended)
version 1
1. Downloadhttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602432
2. Flash in recovery.
3. After you reboot open Terminal Emulator and type the following without the quotes.
4. Type "su" and press the enter key.
5. Type "unlockfps" and press enter. This will activate the property for higher fps.
To deactivate type "lockfps"
NOTE: You may need to toggle your screen off/on to fully activate the mod using method 2.
You will also need to activate the mod again after a reboot. The setting won't survive a reboot with method 2.
UNINSTALL
METHOD 1.
version 1.1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603391
Version 1 (depreciated)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602181
METHOD 2.
version 1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602429
CHANGELOG
Method 1 version 1.1- Fixed permissions.
I have had people tell me battery life is better and some say it's worse. You be the judge and let us know.
Happy Flashing!
These zips will flash on any device, so If you have something other than an LG G3 you can try it. If you choose to try I definitely suggest using method 2. This way if you run into trouble all you need to do is reboot and the mod is disabled.
PLEASE!
IF YOU TRY THIS MOD ON ANOTHER DEVICE LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS!!
So far I have positive reports for Samsung and Sony devices.
thanks bro. gonna try it on my vs985
Installed on my D855 and it improves animation speed an in overall system fluidness. I'm using it in combination with LSpeed tweak and working perfect, for battery impact, if there will be one, will see after daily use. Thanks for this my phone is flaying, so to speak.

Yea. I thought it was only going to work in games and such but it seems to make everything a little quicker and smoother. Scrolling etc... I wasn't expecting that.
after installing unlockfps antutu score not bad, using darkknight rom.
getting around 42+++ on antutu as well. & yes, everything seem much snappier, considering i got shedloads of listview, ime & toast animations (xuimod/xposed, ftw!).
good example is gosms. starting the app uncached is almost instantaneous. then when i go to a long thread (conversations w/ wifey, go figure) i could really say that load time is quicker than before the mod. close to 1 batt cycle & i don't notice any unusual drain.
tried it on my T700 as well. i'm getting the same results, though antutu scores don't agree. didn't explode so far. btw, does enabling hw/gpu acceleration negate this? or is it the other way around?

I have "force gpu rendering" enabled. To boost 2d rendering but that's it as far as dev options.
If your talking build properties then I really don't know for sure.
Hey,
I use Methode 1 on newest BlizzPop at D855.
For First Time i can say...... Wow amazing. The Rom is very very fast with this Mod. No lags. Smooth and Fluid.
Now i hope the Battery hold.
Test right Now @ work.
Thx for your great Mod, work on it and your Time.

For me it seems improve phone and graphics in general, for games I don't know because I don't play games on it. So far didn't notice any heating up or any other side affect from this only improvements and also didn't notice any battery drain.
Working so far
Working great so far ! i also combined this with the CTT mod and the combination is killer so smooth the fastest experience ever!
lg G3 D850 AT&T
Rom : Blisspop v3.2 5.1.1 5/12/15
Kernel: 777 Kernel
flashed on vs985
This mod is amazing! the before and after is huge. My phone already felt really fluid but after installing this is flies--apps open instantly and animations are like butter.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Everyone needs to flash this because the difference it makes is amazing.
NVM!
I combined method 1 with Velocity set to 4300 and a few other tweaks to build.prop, and made this phone run like butter. Only place where I see stutter is on Facebook, but is better than before the mod.
Sent from my Ice Cold D850
Thx alot razz
I have d855 and tried it, method 1 didnt give me any change in antutu benchmark so i tried method 2 and benchmark gave 3000 points more
Both tests after reboot
Why was it locked in the first place?
is this different from the one found in hidden menu? the dynamic lcd refresh on/off - enable 60fps
Sorry for the stupid question... but do i need to add (after i flashed and activated (method2) ) "debug.egl.swapinterval -60" to build.prop ?

It wasn't. This mod is to adjust a swap interval. Not actually unlock anything.
People have just called it that in the past.

You don't need to add anything permanent to the build.prop file. These methods will do it on the fly for you.
Used method one and no longer have slight stutter in notification panel!! Now to try antutu
