For those that are experiencing battery drain because Maps app keeps opening in the background no matter how many times you force close it, I made a very simple script to completely freeze it (and defrost it if it's already frozen) with one click(technically two lol).
Attached Files:
freeze-maps -- it auto detects if Maps is already enabled or disabled, and does the opposite.
maps-disable -- it simply runs the disable Maps command, won't hurt even if the maps is already disabled
maps-enable -- it enables Maps, won't do any harm if Maps is already enabled
Instruction:
1. Download and Install Script Manager in the market (there's a free version)
2. Download the attached freeze-maps.sh.txt and put it in your SD card, say under Documents
3. Open Script Manager, locate the file (freeze-maps.sh.txt) you just downloaded, open it by long press and open as... Script/Executable
Check "run as root", check "Configure as favorite", Click Save and click Exit
4. You can now quit the Script Manager app
5. On your preferred launcher, create a new widget, choose script manager, and then the freeze-maps.sh.txt script (it should be there, since you bookmarked it at step 3).
6. Now you can enable/disable Maps with just using the widget on your Launcher!
************************************************
For those getting an error with freeze-maps.sh.txt, it means your "pm" command doesn't support filter and it won't function as intended. You can either use maps-disable/maps-enable as two separate widgets
or you can do the following(at your own risk):
I attached a copy of my own "pm" executable file that was found in my device, you just gotta replace yours with it.
How-to:
1. Download the attached file - pm.zip
2. Use root explorer and go to /system/bin
3. mount it as writable by pressing the little button says "Mount R/W", it will change to "Mount R/O"
4. rename your pm to pm.bak (for backup) and replace it with the file pm found in pm.zip
5. Long click on the pm file you just extracted here and choose permissions:
Owner = Read/Write/Execute
Group = Read/Execute
Others = Read/Execute
Click Ok
5. Mount your system back to read only by pressing "Mount R/O" and you should be set
******************************************
PS: please let me know if there's any error since this is the very first Android script I wrote, Thanks for Looking ;-)
*Disclaimer: As usual, I am not responsible for any damage to your device, it's do it at your own risk. I will try my best to help though.
PPS: The geeky stuff - you can of course edit the script or run the command "pm" in a terminal and use it to enable/disable any annoying process, but you need to know what you are doing!!!! I personally froze the market updater and twitter app and some other bloatwares that came with the streak.

Maps disappears off my Apps list - I re-run the script, same message, and still no maps. How do I get Maps back ?
I am running this fine on streadriod 2.3 by fards, let me check and get back to you
But the new additional attached files at the first post should solve your problem for now.
it wont detect if you have maps enabled or disabled, but it will do what it's file name implied respectively.
Just use Script Manager to Run it, you can also make two Widgets for enabling/disabling.

Oh that's probably why.. Because Streakin is mostly based on stock rom and I guess -d is some kind of option that only available in the custom roms like on DJ steve's or fard's
If it's not too much trouble, it would be great if you can message me the output of the command so I will see if i can write a working script for the stock rom accordingly
just type(in terminal):
su
pm
and in your terminal software, there's an option "email to". just copy and paste the contents in to a private message via xda.
Thanks so much

i did it for some of those apps that have the tendency to stay in the background even you force close it.
you can check if it's running by going to Setting -> application -> running service
you can also check what apps are occupying your resource with an app called "Betterbatterystat"

Done it
It really works!
Thanks Sir.

@asianftw & @hshah,
These are great! Thank you. Will try them soon.
Can you add more apps for this.
And can you make it into auto-mode? Meaning any apps will be freeze when not in use, but will be turned ON when user click those app OR triggered by incoming update (like FB) or at least, set to a fix frequencies to check for update (say every 30 minutes / hourly / "x" hours). If it is possible, this will be a must have app.

UPDATE: Original thread was created by hansip87, thank for the great work, appreciate his time collecting the guides
UPDATE: Ok to honour chiefy009 original post about collection of mods that being used here, Please go here to appreciate his time collecting the mods. Without him, this tutorial won't be complete and i won't find out that Arc's file system is directly applicable to our Ray. Say thanks to him, and hopefully this tutorial can continue to help you all.
Hello, just want to help other noobie who owns Xperia Ray (or Arc/Neo/Pro - similar device) to have a step-by-step optimizing the Stock ROM of Ray. Optimizing means that you as user have more efficient and faster experience with your Xperia. This is the summary of steps, explained later:
Root the Phone
Install Busybox and CWM Recovery
Enable Dynamic Brightness on Ray
Install Quick Panel Setting to Statusbar
Install Reboot Menu + Scrolling Cache Disabled + 30 steps Volume Stepping
Remove Bloatware from your Phone
Move big games/apps to SD
Install Supercharger to optimize Memory and KAK to optimize Kernel
Edit build.prop to Optimize Ray
Enable Dual Band and Burst Mode for Wifi
(Additional) Recalibrate Your Battery
*WARNING For Advanced User Only* Unlock Bootloader and Apply OC+UV kernel
HOW TO FALSH JB ROM, IF YOU ARE A NEW ANDROID USER OR YOU UNLOCKED A BOOTLOADER FEW WEAKS AGO
Basic Requirement:
Stock Ray(kernel 42 or lower)and cable
PC Companion installed on the computer (for Ray base driver get installed)
FlashTool(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351324)
enable "USB DEBUGGING" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development
enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications
set Connectivity mode to MSC from Menu -> Sony Ericsson -> Connectivity -> USB Connection Mode
Root Explorer app or any app like it.
This tutorial is based on my experiences on my phone fw.42, but still apllicable for .62, except step 1 needs to have different implementation. Read here
1. Root the Phone
External link: {Guide} How To Root Xperia™ Smartphone Running ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) or GB ( Gingerbread )
GB Version:
(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350)
This is the base of all modification of the Stock ROM. This is to enable you to insert anything to your phone system file. Currently ZergRush method by DoomLord is the simplest way to do it. So let's go:
download the attached file from link above, extract it using winzip/winrar
Connect Phone to USB.
execute "RUNME.bat" inside the folder you extracted at no 1.
follow the instruction that is being displayed.
The phone will be rebooted and voila it's rooted!
Don't forget to thank DoomLord on the original link above
ICS Version:
Follow this thread for ics 4.0.3, - Build 4.1.A.0.562:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600728 thanks to asertyio!
YOU CAN'T ROOT 4.0.4 (4.1.B.587) DIRECTLY If you are on ics 4.0.4 Build 4.1.B.0.431 or Build 4.1.B.0.587: Follow this guide [GUIDE] Rooting Xperia 2011 devices with ICS(4.1.B.0.587)
2. Install Busybox and CWM Recovery
(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190)
This one is for enabling the phone to have a utility to cleanup and update your Ray with some of the great mod here. Busybox is a basic tool for embedded device to run Desktop OS-like command on your phone. Here are the steps:
Install BusyBox Free from STEricsson from here, run and install the busybox from there.
Download the SE Tweak Installer from link above
Connect your Phone to USB
Run the SE Tweak Installer, select the device type to the Ray one (or depends on your other Xperia type)
Check Auto Reboot if you want to test right away.
Press Install and follow the process.
Give thanks to quangnhut123 at the above link
Note 1:
To access CWM Recovery, turn off your phone, and reboot. Once the Sony Ericsson logo appears, quickly spam the vol- button until the CWM Recovery displayed. access the CWM recovery with Home button for OK, Return button for returning to parent menu, vol+ vol- to access the menu.
Note 2:
There are Alternative method for BusyBox to be installed. You can do it by installing BusyBox installer from Market or using Titanium Backup and download it from "Problems?" button at the bottom of TB.
You can use x-Parts [CWM Installer] made by pvyParts. Download link from play store: x-Parts
ICS Version:
Still the same , but if you had problem of charging offline, try to replace charger file with the following thanks to pvyparts!
3. Enable Dynamic Brightness on Ray (original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377125)
This is to enable Dynamic Brightness on Xperia Ray. 4 Me this is not really a big deal, but it is a nice feature that SE should have applied in the first place. It is to reduce brightness on dark places automatically. Here are the steps:
with Root Explorer, open /system/etc/hw_config.sh in Text Editor (press and hold the file and Open the Text Editor). Don't forget to mount as R/W first.
change line
echo 0,0,0,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
echo 3,2,2,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save the changes
If you want to improve, use the als_curve.zip available at link above and replace to als_curve.
Make sure als_curve and hw_config.sh get correct permissions (rw-r--r--)
Don't forget to thanks arcatarc
Note: This mod does not have instantaneous effect. To seen it, please use a Browser and do a blank white page to test if the script are working or not. To test it, close and open the upper right part of the phone.
ICS Version:
No Changes. Still the same
4. Install Quick Panel Setting to Statusbar (original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392472)

ICS Version:
Go here to install the ICS version. Install the Part A and Part B together.
6. Remove Bloatware from your Phone (original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470)
Don't need some of the Bloatware from your Phone? you can check out the list above. There are multiple option to uninstall, with Titanium Backup or straight through Root Explorer, delete safe apk's from the /system/app. Your choice.
Say Thanks to constin for the list.
But Oh! some apk won't uninstall after reboot! Help?!
There are some apps that stays on the system even after we remove it. Now here's how to do it:
Remove the apk's with Titanium Backup or Root Explorer.
Browse to /etc/customization/applications and /etc/product/applications with Root Explorer. This is the storage of additional bloatware from the distributor that will get installed on next reboot. Delete any of the unneeded apps here.
You're done.
ICS Version: Still the same
7. Move Big apps to SD(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686588)
Surely some games eats up your valuable space on the phone. Here are the steps to move them to your SD.
*WARNING* if you move non-game app to SD, make sure the app:
does not have widget feature
does not need to be running at startup
does not nedd root access
Here are the basic steps:
go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
select the SD card tab, choose one of the apps
press Move to SD card.
if failed, try again to move it. Usually happened because of unclean SD card from previous usage.
But there are some games that for some reasons, developer restricts it to be on phone memory. Well you can move it though by your self. Here are the steps:
Connect Phone to USB
go to Google SDK folder or FlashTool folder
Open command line that points out to the place where adb.exe exists
type (without semicolon) "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2"
Do the basic steps above, move the games to SD
back to the computer, type "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0" to restore.
Say thanks to Henchman for the tip at the above link
Note: explanation for parameter on adb shell pm setInstallLocation:
2 is for SD, 1 is for internal memory, 0 is for Auto
ICS Version: Still the same
8. Apply Supercharger to improve memory management and KAK to optimize Kernel(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276)
Irritated by Home Launcher not responding quickly after playing games or browsing web on 8 tabs? Install Supercharger to optimize your phone.
Basically there are two major steps to do it:
Setup Supercharger to your liking, run with Script Manager. Don't assign the script as startup boot script!
Run Supercharger result script at startup of phone. Can be achieved with Script Manager from Market or with init.d mod from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405590 say thanks to iridaki!
You can read here too for help(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334834). Here is my short version of steps:
Download the first Supercharger setup script from the first link on this matter above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276). it is currently named as V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt, put it on your SD card
Install and open script manager, Find the downloaded file and run the script as normal one
When asked the first time at making setup of Supercharger (speed of scrolling), i put 0 as choice (you can experiment here too, just cutting it short for you now)
After that, list menu pops up. When selecting from Supercharger menu, choose the Aggressive setting 1 (there are 6-8settings? i haven't tried it all, but the Aggresive 1 is adequate)
When done setup, just exit from the selection menu (no.17). The result file named 99Supercharger will be generated at /data/ (or in /system/etc/init.d/99Supercharger if you created /system/etc/init.d/ folder from iridaki's mod)
(If you use init.d mod from iridaki, skip this one) Open ScriptManager, select the /data/99Supercharger.sh, and when the properties window pops up, tag it as "su" and "boot") The ScriptManager will load it at startup and as root, otherwise it will fail.
To Test if the value is loaded or not, launch again the setup script(repeat step2-4) You will find a text like "Launcher is.. xxxxxxx" if it is written as "weak", the script is not running yet. If it is "hard to kill" it is running.
say thanks to chiefy009 for his finding too here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423336)
say thanks to zeppelinrox @http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 for the Supercharger script, The most awesome script for Android
Additional thanks to dreezz for the correction of the location of 99Supercharger file (it depends on the whether the init.d mod aready installed or not) thanks mate!
UPDATE: This one is for running KAK (Kick Ass Kernelizer) Steps are:
Download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22078137&postcount=7649
Run the script with Script Manager
Just follow the instruction, I/O Tweak is optional, and i don't recommend it at this time. Please pass when asked.
Press I for Install
(If you use init.d mod from iridaki, skip this one) Open ScriptManager, select the /data/98KickAssKernel.sh, and when the properties window pops up, tag it as "su" and "boot") The ScriptManager will load it at startup and as root, otherwise it will fail.
Reboot
To verify, run again after reboot, and when offered choice to Verify, please Verify.
Note 1: Still failed? Please do recheck first and if all else fails, do the following:
Unsupercharge first (do it by running V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt and select the UnSupercharger from the menu).
add this string into /system/build.prop at the last line by root explorer.
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Give one empty line on the last line to prevent unwanted behaviour.
Save, and reboot.
thanks to coolkaas for the tip!
ICS Version:
You need to install services.jar to fix the ADJ issue. Go here. Supercharger for ICS is named V6 Supercharger version 9 RC 8.2. Download here and rename the .sh.pdf filename to .sh.
9. Edit build.prop to Optimize Ray system parameter(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269)
This is the collection of all the additional parameter that can be added to Xperia Ray too. Please read from original link and do the following for step by step action:

Insert Battery and reboot. if your log looks like above, then congrats, you unlocked the bootloader without loosing DRM key.
Download kernel named bootuv5.img from link above
Do a fastboot (turn off phone, press and hold vol+ while connecting USB)
Open folder inside Flashtool where fastboot.exe exists (/FlashTool/x10flasher_lib)
Place bootuv5.img inside the same folder
Open Command Line inside that folder too.
test if devices is connected by typing "fastboot devices" if there is a result here, continue
type "fastboot flash boot bootuv5.img"
if there are FINISHED text, than you're done!
Boot your phone, install setCPU or any app to control clock speed. Congrats
Say thanks to xperia ray for the link ,aire for the kernel, and Kuldeep Singh for the complete tutorial.
*Note: i prefer this to just connecting to sim metal casing because i can concentrate on the small test point only while the other end can be slipped in between the two negative pin.
**Note: disconnect phone, connect test point again, connect again, press Ready button in S1Tools.
Note: Please be careful for every step when you need to attach test point. It is required to ensure 100% success rate.
12. FLASHING JB ROM FIRST TIME HOW-TO (UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY)
Try this, slowly, carefully, exactly and in order.
Make sure you have a copy of the (CM10 or PAC or MIUI JB) ROM zip on your SD card.
Using Flashtool, install 4.0.4 in full, Do not exclude anything, all the wipe tick boxes checked.
Unplug your phone, do not turn it on.
On your computer, open the JB ROM zip with WinRAR and DRAG boot.img to your desktop with your mouse. Close the ROM zip.
Holding volume +, plug your phone back in. The light will go blue. The Flashtool window will show connected in fastboot mode.
Open the Fastboot window in Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Pick the one on your desktop. Wait for it to finish (not long)
In the fastboot window, reboot phone into system.
Unplug the phone
The phone should start, if it doesn't then turn it on.
The kernel logo will appear. When the lights flash press Vol - until the wobbly CWM recovery screen comes on.
do this from the menus:
- Wipe data/ factory reset, then Wipe cache.
- Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
- Hit back, go to mounts and storage, format system.
- Hit back, choose zip to install, pick the ROM from your SD card.
Leave the phone for about an hour alone.
Then install gapps from SD card using recovery. Pick reboot to recovery from power off menu.
You do not need xparts. The phone will go back into wobbly CWM screen. Choose zip from SD card. Choose gapps. When installed wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache again. DON'T FORMAT SYSTEM. Reboot.
Q&A:
1. What is the difference between Flashmode and Fastboot? How to enter?
Flashmode is for flashing the kernel from SEUS or FlashTool. Fastboot is to do flashing from fastboot.exe. if you got .ftf file, do with flashmode. if you got kernel or ROM separate, you can do with fastboot. Flashmode spam volume DOWN while turned off and connect the USB, Fastboot spam volume UP while turned off and connect the USB
Usefull guide to using flashtool flashmode/fastboot mode: xperiadev flashtool-fastboot/
2. Fastboot devices can't find my device. What's wrong?
Go to Flashtool\drivers and run the exe. When selection comes up, install Fastboot drivers.
3. New Software is available from SE PC Companion. can i receive it if i did the step 10 above?
Yes you can I did it and no problem whatsoever. But for .62 firmware and so forth, the root method is different. You can go to idateyoutoclickthis method here
4. HELP! I bricked my phone, fastboot and flash mode is not working!
Try to download SE special tool named SEUS. This is Update Service application that was used specially for updating SE phone outside PC Companion. You can read the instruction here Say thanks to ygecesefa if this saves you!
Thanks a lot , this guide is very good for noobs
& and many thanks for supercharger script installing guide , i was looking for it
Great tutorial, especially the quick settings bar op top
I also read about the automatic light sensor of the Ray, and did the tweak.
Now the display brightness auto adapts very well....and fast too.

Nice guide man, thx u!
thanx for 4. Install Quick Panel Setting to Statusbar !
works great!
i was also checking out 7. Apply Supercharger to improve memory management(original:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276)
but this is quite confusing. i don't see a simple "how to install" or downloadlink...
i'm not sure what it does, i get various new pages via the links but no... "ok, that's wat i should do!"-feeling.
can someone give direct downloadlinks and a brief install description?
(i have installed script manager, but that's all sofar...)

Ok mate, i already make the complete steps for that sorry for the inconviniences but for the source link you still need to go to the source page, to give a chance for you to thanks the dev there
thanks hansip!
it's now working.
step 5 is however incorrect (on my phone).
file "99Supercharger" was found in the root folder /data
i'm curious if my phone is snappier now! (it was pretty good already, but now maybe a little faster when multitaking)
Nope step 5 is correct too. It is the script that generates to multiple places. but that's ok, you can use whichever you want, the script is the same inside.
strange... but i don't have a map/file here: /system/etc/init.d/99Supercharger
(no map init.d)
anyway, it's working, so

Indeed very good for n00bs. I tried everything and it works great! except the unlocking the bootloader part. I have no test pointers so I have to do the clip one but I have aq question.
if I have to do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then I have to connect the pin to the red dot and the other usb cable to the negative of battery connector. And have another usb cable to attach to the phone?
or I just have to connect the pin to the red one and insert the data cable to the phone with the wire connected to the data cable?

No, u dont have to connect conductor to usb cable. The original tutorial is a bit confusing really. But in reality, Just straight from the test point to negative pins. Because of there are 2 close negative pins, you could put a sturdy conductor like paper clip in between and focus on attaching to the test point, rather than binding cable(if u go with cable that is) to the pins.

Cool mate! in setCPU i only drag the max speed to 1.4Ghz and set the governor to ondemand. the maker of the kernel said it is recommended with smartassv2 but i don't really like it because of some lag that occured when i set at that. And lastly, set it to be applied on boot.

Instead of the atk using numbers 1 to 15 (decimal) it uses 1 to F (hexadecimal). This keeps the individual IVs as single characters for easier formatting.
eg a 15/12/5 Pokemon would show as F/C/5. This also has the advantage that you can remove the spacer character between each part.
PS, just installed app and it works good for me Thanks for keeping the app updated since elfinlazz seems to have stopped development.

Hey, glad to see you are picking this project up. Unfortunately, the custom format still doesn't seem to do anything for me. Also, the preview text below "Set custom format" never changes to reflect the format I entered (it does change in the previous version of this module).
What's differences can you see between "ignore nicknamed pokemon" option when it's actived or not ?

if this option is enabled, the monsters you rename by hand on your own will not get overwritten by pogo ivy

The prefs file actually does contain my custom format, so I don't think that is the issue.
Thanks for updating this module I was wondering if the original was ever going to get updated again. I have one problem though when I disable the module within the POGO Ivy app it doesn't actually disable it for me. I can still see my IVs when I disable it.

I did restart it and nothing happened. Heck, I even restarted my whole phone and nothing happened. The Pokémon still had their IVs next to them.
I'm using the OnePlus 3 and everything worked fine in the old version.
