[Android General] Android Tips & tricks (UPDATE 14/03/10) HUGE UPDATE! 3 uselful tips
I have fought that the Android/Blackstone community would be happy to learn some tips and tricks to enjoy their configuration better.
You can post yours for sure

TIPS AND TRICKS:
1) Do you find your XAndroid build very slow and not as responsive as you expected ?
Install CleanRAM under WinMo (6.x), set it to "Level 3" (Fundamental Purge). Normally, your build will be faster and more responsive, it works for me !
Feel free to post your feedback
2) Do you find your battery life is not at least good ?
Disabling Wi-Fi toggle can be useful, even if you aren't connected to your favourite Network, let it drains the battery faster than everything...
3) An other battery tip ! Disable Animations in Settings Menu.
It won't change important things, it's almost unnoticeable.
4) You don't use the 3G network ? Disable this option into the comm manager under WinMo 6.x , you'll notice an important changing as regards your battery life
5) Have you found an app which doesn't fit the whole screen ? Open STARTUP.txt and try to change lcd.density from 220 to 240.
(Thanks Slaming)
6) Many many users don't manage to answer their incoming calls. Last night i found a trick. Don't use your finger, but press a bit hard the green circle on your screen with your stylus (no risk for your screen), you'll be finally able to answer your calls !
7) I just found a PERFECT package: http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/a...sm-android/zImage-modules-20100215_000813.tar
If you don't know how to use it, there are some FAQs
8) Do not forget that your WinMo settings matter !
(Especially Screen settings, comm manager settings, etc, i'll give more details soon)
9) How to install glemsom's packages according to Slaming:
"to install this just download the zip and place it in your sd card then edit the starup and change zimage to the name of the zimage you are uing so in this case it will be zImage-20100215_000813 when its booting you will see the kernel script and it will say new image or something. hope this helps.
and dont forget don't unzip the other file inside the original zip just place it in the sd card normally."
10) I think i have found a temporary fix as regards DEEP SLEEP ISSUES (I test it for three days and the conlusion is impressive !).
There are the instructions:
1) Download the app SetCPU (included in Glossy's packages)
2) Install the app via the market (if you've downloaded it via your phone) or Astro file manager (If you have the .apk)
3) Launch SetCPU and choose "Auto Detect" (at the end of the list)
4) Set Max at 528MHz and Min at 245MHz, enable "Set on Boot" and let CPU Governor as "On demand"
5) Exit the app, test my tip and leave your feedback
Warning: Your battery life won't be shorter, don't worry.
11) Your Network drops down sometimes and never reappear ? Select your network manually, and if it doesn't work, don't reboot, it can take some time
I'm french so i do: Paramètres (Settings) => Réseaux sans fils (top of the list) => Paramètres réseaux mobiles (bottom of the list) => Recherche manuelle (Manually search ?), wait 10 sec and select your favorite network.
12) Boot failed to mount sd card ? Try this: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/ef88a97aaef9116b?pli=1
13) Tired of installing all your APKs ? Just put your precious APKs in "Androidapps" folder, it will auto-install apps when booting. Thanks Brodos123
14) Deep Sleep problems are getting on your nerves ? Try to use the "board-htcblackstone-panel.no_bkl_off=1" in the cmdline in startup.txt. Thanks Brodos123
15) Tired of seeing all this "fsck0001", "fsck0002" ? You can delete them without having any issue ! Thanks N!ghty
16) Want to use your personnal wallpapers ? Try to put your JPEG, or GIF, or any image file into sdcard\media\resource\ , and select one of them with your favorite wallpapers manager. Thanks N!ghty

How is the wake up on sleep problem in this kernel?

No problem for me It should be the same for you.

The same sleep problem. Put the phone into sleep mode and leave it in your pocket for 15 minutes and see.
There hasn't really been any notable progress as far as fixing what is broken on Blackstone (or any of the features that don't work like camera, bluetooth, etc.) since December.
If you've been following the notes on the zimage builds, you'll see how slow progress really is. Although I appreciate how difficult it is for those working it, I think they'll still be working on it long after we've upgraded to another a phone, and with what they're up against, I wouldn't hold my breath about getting new features to work.
Besides, HTC Bravo/Desire will be available in March... Snapdragon? new Sense UI? Yes please.

I've woken up my device about 500 times and this problem have appeared only 2 or 3 times.

what do you mean by "perfect"?
how perfect it is and in what aspect?
It is meaningless to say perfect with no content at all.

Perfect for what we have at the moment
BT, headphones and camera still doesn't work, but this package make Android smooth, fast, wifi works perfectly, 3g too, and i didn't have any trouble with deep sleep

Leave it charging over night in sleep mode, then try and wake it up. Doesn't work.
Although this is an overall good package, it suffers the same current bugs that have yet to be resolved. Every zimage build has had this problem since they added sleep functionality last month, and unfortunately its marked as a 'low priority' bug in the forum.

I leave my phone charging every night when android is booted and i have no problem.

on Diamond?
Can i put this on Diamond? afaik, it should go, since I am only replacing the zImage.

You'd better post in the Android Questions for this, put i'll try to answer your question.
I think you can only put modules and zImage, but i'm not sure...

Hey!
Tottaly worked for me.
Using glossy 1.7 and had sleep problems before.
used SETCPU and worked.
Thanks.
Left charging all night and today it woked up from sleep.
Never did this before.

Worked for me too!
Testing it for two days and didn't had one sleep problem.
Keep up the good work!

mssmison did it!: CyanogenMod 5.07 test 3. for kaiser!

wifi working with patch.

Heads up! New Kaiser Wifi update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6456191&postcount=33
Old one replaced build.prop with wrong version. Reinstall and use the new Wifi update.
Also to get rid of android-rebooting-problems with GPS Test application do the following:
1. Start terminal emulator
2. su
3. cd system/lib/hw
4. rwsystem
5. rm sensors.msm7k.so
6. rosystem
7. exit
8. exit
9. restart phone

So how is it? I'm too lazy to install it.

Seems like a really nice build. I'm using 320x428 with 144 dpi. A bit slow because I'm currently not running in NAND but I would expect it to perform quite well once I go back to running NAND again.
I haven't tested it very much yet as I'm doing some experiments in WinMO at the moment.

just tried
hey
i just downloaded this and i have to say im impressed about this.
as i love the eclair design and everything and the donut speed i have to say this is impressing because it is FAST! not as fast as donut but pretty much the same. that could be due to the 500 mHz OC but i just like that build.
just needs to be optimized a bit, maybe a few apps like astro and others
and as the developer has a new phone we need a new one.
But i have to say its awesome!
i love it already and just tried it for 9 min.
just the OC needs to be removed i noticed right now and is there any way to set another value for the screen sensebility because quiet often it does not react on a touch.
so keep updating this!
nick

nice rom but it chews through battery like crazy. With a full charge battery will drop from 99 to 75(battery fix removed OC and set 1400 value) with just a 10min phone call and a couple txts. I think what we need is a new kernel highly optimized for battery life using the latest patches. Judging from the name alone of the kernel its running right now 2.6.25-01051-gc362ac-dirty and the fact that 2.6.25 was released in jul 2008 i think theres room for tons for improvement.
Does anyone know how to adjust the microphone gain? my friends complain they cant hear me..

The wifi scan interval is set to 15 seconds by default in this release. That will have a negative effect on battery life if you are out of range of a known network and have wifi enabled. I'll put together an update to change this when time allows. I use 120 seconds myself.

Thanks to update.
It working good on Polaris.
Also i change interval to 180 and density to 120 in .prop

Here's an update that changes the wifi scan delay to 120 seconds and also (not tested yet) changes the model name from Vogue to Kaiser.

i'm still trying to figure out if it's possible, somehow, to flash an update.zip file (to be able to use the cyanogenmod skins) with the nomorootfs we're using, instead of converting the skins to metamorph format
does anyone know if it's possible or how to do it?

Can't get wifi to work with updates, which one should I need?

kallt_kaffe's works for me. If something isn't working like it should, power off the phone and remove the battery. Then hold down the power button to remove any remaining power left. Place batter back in and try again.
Also, make sure to always fix permissions when you apply updates, even for wifi.

edit: how stupid can I be? I've bought another phone and forgot to add the mac adress.

Certainly think mod needs work. So far the battery meter is off, and all this time I thought it drained less power. A lot of pop ups to force close apps. A lot of apps are running that I don't use.
mssmison didn't say he was going to put any more effort into it either. Hopefully, someone will pick it up.

Try deleting /data/system/batterystats.bin. That usually helps when the batterymeter has gone bad.

Have you removed or renamed /lib/modules/hw/sensors.msm7k.so? After I removed that it runs very stable for me.

kallt_kaffe how do you do it?
I'm new to the androidinstall.tar method. I'm tyring to run from haret but it seems impossible.
You said you where experimenting with something in winmo, so that implies you're using haret? Are you running from haret?
When I try, Polymod, and Mssmission they don't show an install option, when I try myn and incubus I get it installed but I get no sound. It was actually your gps kernel that let me get things installed all other kernels i tried had non-functional dpads within the installer environment. Also, trying another kernel once installed didn't fix the sound issue.
Anyhow just let me know if you're using Haret. I wonder whats up with the sound and missing install option. I tried the install two different ways one with a 2gb fat32 partition, and then another attempt using three primary partitions 1.3gb fat32, 300mb ext, 300mb ext. All installers then would give me options beside's fat, but not all intallers would have an install option.. I'm using radio 1.71.09.01.eMo, model: kais100, os: wm6.5 (shifu v.3)

I try start Skyforce game, but it forceclose.
It can work after i added "sensors.sapphire.so" into /lib/modules/hw/

I've installed the cyanogenMod updater from the marketplace, but it can only find older versions, no experimental versions, whatever option I set in the program.Anyone?

battery life has been fantastic for me on this build...
although I reverted back to 400mhz and got rid of compcache.
I am sure that OCing to 500 by default is draining the battery faster.
I would rather a usable phone than a fast one...(although it still seems very fast to me)

[ROM][ICS 4.0.3] [27.05.2012] HeroICS v3

Hello,
I'm reactivating this thread since I cannot talk with samm every now and then to update the OP from this thread here.
What works:
It is stable for a daily driver but there are definitely things that doesn't work. For starters, the Hero is too small for ICS since we don't have any GPU posibility. Adreno 130 drivers are oh, too small and too bad for animations on ICS, they suck even in GB and Froyo. Still, the statusbar and fling are much smoother than other android releases because that's how ICS is built. It is more RAM friendly and it looks, well, sexy!
Will try and update this rom when it will be possible. We might jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 if I can make it to move faster than it moves right now (yes, I have an experimental build).
If one of you want to join me to develop this rom further, send a PM and I will send you some details about what is in the works, how far it is. I know there are few people that can work on builds here on Hero thread but if we work together, we can pull this out one more time.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- YOUR BRAIN
- YOUR HOUSE
- YOUR PHONE!
ON with the ROM. What has been changed:
Added:
Code:
- Google Music apk (yes, official google music app);
- Explorer.apk
- Latest and greatest LV Kernel 1.2+
- Revert to Evtoolbox back from 4.0.3 builds
- Set the cpu to scale at 352-672 from startup
- Tweaked the build.prop a little (added some experimental lines)
Why this is v3?
Because the memory management inside the kernel (remember, INSIDE THE KERNEL) is tweaked and fixed to nice values in order to allow our hero to better multitasking (you can find these values in my other rom called 1ceCream BEAST Flavor). No need for tweaks in init.d to do the job, no bull****.
Just plain and simple!
If you are texting someone, sending an email, playing a game, doing something, and you are locking the screen, after unlocking you will find that the application is ON the screen, and is not closed how it is in many other roms for hero. The multitasking with my values is so much better, you will definitely like it!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The rom moves fast, even if it is ICS, I have the animations on and no force GPU in Developer settings and it is still moving so much fast than the older builds.
Overall, I am happy with this release and I hope you will be too! Post me some of your opinion and tell me if it is fast or am I dreaming!

DOWNLOAD HeroICS v3

If you make these changes maybe you'll see better performance, the hero can't handle dithering on anything higher than stock GB or Sense froyo and doesn't have enough RAM for 48mb of dalvik heapsize. I may be wrong but these always worked for me in the past altough ICS is supposed to be better on RAM.
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
dalvik.vm.heapsize changed to 24m or 32mb
persist.sys.use_dithering=0

Good work. Flashing now.
How about keeping this as lite as possible, only the absolute essentials pre-installed, everything else as optional zips / apk. For instance, I personally have no use for the music player.
I would really like to see a bare bones, fast and stable ics rom where you just add what you need.

Unexpected reboot just as I was about to install Opera Mini. Followed by: "New Sim Detected, reboot required." Never seen that before.
I've applied CSL00's values.
Wonder if V6 Supercharger or Auto Memory Manager can improve things.
Play Store is noticeably faster. Unsure if was CSL00's values or the introduction of AMM.
Regarding the error message: 'No more room on this home screen.'
In Play Store app. Menu > Settings > Deselect Auto-add widgets.
Second unexpected reboot, otherwise things are getting faster. No wifi issues, BT still won't pair.
Running AMM on 'Aggressive.'

dalvik execution mode was on fast until I changed it in the last second to "jit".
vm.heapsize was changed to 48 because I was testing 32 mb and I saw that it takes a little while to enter in one application. With 48 mb the time is reduced somehow. Please feel free to change it to 32 mb if you want. Dithering, well here is a mistery, I don't know if this works in ICS. It does look a little better than with it changed to 0 and my phone can suport dithering pretty well.
About the reboots, please install set cpu and set your max cpu frequency to a respectable value such as 691 or lower. I suggest using governor smartassV2.
The whole rom does feel a little snappier but we have an issue when someone calls you and after 20 seconds the call gets interrupted. I'll look into that today after work and see if I can fix it somehow.
I've tried Supercharger, the V8 doesn't wanna start on ICS and when applied V6 with option 6, the phone just got stuck on bootloop.
The reason that I've made it like this with apk.s that you can easly uninstall is that I didn't want you guys to have to flash any other optional zips or anything. But as I said, feel free to do what ever you want and uninstall those unused apps.
Oh, If you want to try supercharger yourself, you have to first delete these scripts from /etc/init.d:
03tweaks
04netspeed
05fixsdcardspeed
06loopy_smoothness_tweak
15cleanup_init_ram
16sqlite_optimize
17speedy_modified
Just to avoid any unexpected issues.
L.E:
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, make a LOGCAT while you are in a call and save it to a txt? I want to see if we can narrow down the problem of disconnecting. I am unable to make a logcat atm.

1ceb0x, back to using your original build.prop, and Setcpu. Things seem more stable.
I'm looking for a notification toggle (cm-style) that has no icon when running (or only hides it, leaves a space.)
I will make a logcat, but I've tried aLogrec and all it seems to produce is an empty file. Should it not be dumping info on any activity I do?

Seems stable than samm000's build.prop?
Glad to hear this.
As for the logcat, you cannot use any of the readers on the market because they will not work on ics. I've tried to make a log using android sdk but it seems that we need a file called 'main' in /dev/logs. I tried to make the file manually but then I've encountered an EOF read error on cmd. I forgot to make permissions for the respective file. Will make it again now and see how it goes.
As for cm notification toggle, I don't know what are you talking about. The notification toggle on ICS is nicer than any other available .
Tell me if you have calls issue (your call is disconnected after some seconds)?

Well it is probably more stable because I reduced the cpu speed.
In a voicecall now, 2mins+. Call lost around 3 mins.
6mins+ this time and still going...

10 minutes without disconnecting? What's your settings on network? GSM ONLY, or WCDMA preferred?
(to see this, please go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , then go to Phone information, scroll down and you will see the value above the button "Turn Off Radio").
as default the version is WCDMA preferred. What Radio firmware are you using?
also, did you installed Habarug's tweak to hide the end button call during a call? (it's in samm000's thread).
this information will be helpful! cheers

WCDMA preferred. Radio: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
I have not installed Habarug's tweak.

It was 22mins when I ended the call myself.
Regarding notification toogle this is what I mean: 15 toggle status bar as implemented in this rom. Check the video.

Very ODD.
I have 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 on my device with WCDMA preferred but I keep getting call disconnected after 10 seconds or so.... regarding the notification status bar power widget, I don't know what to say. I'm not a dev so...
i'm trying to find a way to make a log cat of the calling issue because I don't really want to change my radio because my version seems to be battery friendly...
thank you for your support

Obviously the notification thing isn't even important right now. I shouldn't really have mentioned it.
I thought this radio was considered one of the best to be using, and find the battery life to be good on it.

Don't know if its the best really. But I've flashed it anyway. Since this will end my calling interrupt, it will be a small price to pay if the battery doesn't play well.
Will test the voice calling. Btw, I am maybe working on RC2, with some new tweaks and fixed latinime.apk keyboard..
can confirm right now that the latinime.apk is fixed.
@Habarug: are you using my mod or sam's rom?

Thanks lost, will try your radio, im on .14 atom

Just to clarify, the radio I am using still has calls dropping with ics. It seems to happen at random times. 1 minute into a call, 3 minutes or not at all. Maybe it's because of the numbers I am ringing. I can't be sure they would not drop anyway. But it sounds like it is doing better than some other radios.
Also, what about having a build based off ics 4.0.4?

we have to fix this issues first and then talk about another version. anyhow, 4.0.4 is much laggier than this version. i saw a bit of logcat and some awkwardly errors regarding the "animations" but i was unable to save the log for future use.
I've asked Maclaw, a dev from Galaxy Gio/Fit/Mini who made CM9 possible on those device to look at our build and maybe with some luck he can see something that make this calls drop...
managed to past 3 minutes in call with your radio version lost101. cheers
L.E: I am unable to send PM's. so i cannot ask Maclaw for help.. too bad! I'll just have to post on their op!

Come on people.. test the build!

[ROM] Dec.1st -{}- UVDLJA {} LIGHTNING_rev3 -{}- 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA

Welcome to Lightning ROM
MAJOR UPDATE, REV3, CHANG LOG IN SECOND POST**********
The goal when creating this today has been simple. Squeezing the most performance out of the T-Mobile Galaxy S III as I possibly could, without destroying your battery. This ROM was build with two things in mind - optimization and speed. Nuff said. It is based off the official Jelly Bean leak as of late last night and wild child's deodexed version he was kind enough to throw down. It will probably impregnate you, with twins, then not pay you child support. If you are ready to propel your device to levels above 9 thousand, you should probably keep reading. You have been warned. IT IS FAST! ..... yet... friendly...
Like myself, in the spirit of android, I am sure you all love customization. I am doing something a little different with this. Rather than add all the toggles, mods, themes, etc, I focused today on the performance aspect and will leave the theming up to you, and after you get it set up the way you want (as there will soon be and already is tons of pretty extras for this build) revert to post 2 of this thread for a nice little guide to odex this bad boy straight from Android UI via terminal emulator. I'll take care of the tweaking, you theme it the way you want, then wrap it up with some memory optimization of your own, or don't. Sound good? Thought so
Getting right down to it - a quick list of things modified here, and I know I am missing some things:
-Init.d support
-Busybox
-Deodexed (until you odex - see post 2)
-Rooted - duh
-CIQ removed***
-Debloated: removed a lot of stuff, but it is all avail' in the market, youtube, etc, you would have had to update it anyways -__-
-File system and SD read optimized for speed
-added freeza's custom CPU script to init.d ***see changelog in post 2
-Build.prop has been modified.
*added the 0 ring delay script
*wifi scan adjusted to 600
*media streaming optimized
*media recording optimized (video and image)
*data speeds optimized
-Database df on each boot / sql support - totally kanged this from somewhere else it was kanged... all credits due
-Memory optimizations
-Default IO scheduler optimized for flash-type disks (android devices)
-Carefully modified CPU parameters with performance in mind. Tweaked values to optimize IO throughput during heavy workload and multi-tasking, yet on the other end, CPU cycles are greatly reduced when system is not under heavy load. You will see this in performance :highfive:
INSTALLATION - follow this to the T, or I will ignore you. And keep in mind you might still have issues. Not every device is the same.
1. download ROM, put it on your external SD card, and verify it is good with an MD5 check
2. once all is well, boot to recovery
3. do a factory reset/data wipe (I have always been in the habit of being thorough and formatting anything 3 times)
4. format/wipe system (3 times recommended)
5. flash ROM
6. reboot (it will take a couple minutes)
7. once the device boots, let it stand alone for about a minute or so (i typically wait until it shuts off the display on its own) and ENJOY
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO SIGN IN TO DROP BOX. I REMOVED IT. DL FROM MARKET!!
Also, some other things removed: browser, YouTube, calculator, some other stuff. I didn't remove anything that was not available in the play store. Wanted to keep it light weight. Do not try to sign in to anything other than your google account when you boot. Again, enjoy.
thanks to wild child, freeza, virus, steelH, dj, luke, ktoonz, and many others. mad respect to you all. i have implemented things that are either your direct work or things i have learned from you. so here is my humble shout out. if there is something i left out, somebody i didn't mention, please forgive me and post in this thread and call me out, i will happily update the OP with thanks. respect to you all
REV_3 - ready, set.. ok click now!
With morfic's kernel..... clocked at 1.83

ok... so if you are like me, and you REALLY wanna get intense with this, and just make it as bad A as you possibly can, keep reading....
This will essentially odex all files in your /system/framework and it will do it straight from the Android UI via my personal favorite app ... this is good because it frees up mem, and reduces DVM size. OPTIMALLL
1. download the odex.zip here --> PURPLE
2. extract all files with a file explorer, i prefer root explorer or fx file explorer
3. place the extracted folder and all of it's contents in /data/local/tmp ... so you should have /data/local/tmp/odex/+(misc files in new odex directory)
4. give the new directory and ALL contents FULL permissions. full read, write, and execute perms. your file explorer, if it has taken you this far, should be able to accomplish this
5. download this app TERMINAL EMULATOR dont worry it is free. open the app
Type the following commands - each new line should be executed with the enter key:
su (hit enter, it will ask for root)
/data/local/tmp/odex/odex (hit enter, you will see
you will see a bunch of outputs. there will be a message when it is done (honestly, like 10 seconds if that) saying something like "enjoy your hybrid ROM"
type "reboot recovery" (without the quotes)
device will boot into recovery immediately after you hit enter...
wipe cache and dalvik cache once more each, and reboot your device.
viola <--- this was spelled wrong. but i am going to leave it. because i can. rofl
THANKS*** freeza for sending me the the odex script, and you're welcome, for the bootclasspath for the script.. lulz. and thanks freeza for convincing me to download titanium backup again... and you're welcome for giving you the peace of mind that you can odex framework from android. el o el
****change log*****
rev3-December 1st, 2012 -uploading
-added morfic's alpha 23 kernel. OC'able to 1.83, no UV, L2 cache tables optimized, CPU hot plugged (for now, panel of=cpu1 off), pretty much an overhaul here. performance is ridiculous.
-removed CPU tweak by freeza (i still love you tho)
-optimized IO, AGAIN. adjusted ondemand parameters for a little bit better performance
-removed unneeded scripts from init.qcom.post_boot.sh file - positive effect on IO
-cleaned up build prop, added scripts for TCP windows, added network hack by... somebody... can't remember. File is in /etc/init.d/ "internet"
-optimized BT audio streaming
-added properties for optimal accessibility of T-Mos spectrum/towers
-disabled unneeded logging - save CPU cycles and power
-debloated some more. lightweight. DO NOT... try to sign in to dropbox upon first boot (if it even gives you the option) download the latest version of the app on the play store.
rev2-NOVEMBER 19, 2012
-removed some UI audio sounds (charger connection [for those that listen to music], lowbattery sound, volume toggle sounds, other annoying useless sounds such as boot up and power off)
implemented freeza's CPU control script for some amazing performance and battery life. thanks bud, as always, great work. i have been running this since he was finished with it, and it is absolutely amazing. your device with tons of unique and user friendly, editable scripts.
-freeza's CPU script adjusts CPU parameters for both cores based upon whether your device is charging, and how much battery you have left. it is a performance and battery friendly script that is power efficient and editable depending on what YOU want your device to do.
beta1-
initial release
all the things...
In rev 2, with freeza's CPU mod, you can navigate to init.d and you will see a "70cputweak" file. if you open that up, you can adjust CPU values and parameters of governors to your liking. for now, i left them as is - the way they were when freeza gave them to me. edit them with a file explorer and reboot and you are now adjusting your OWN values based on the performance and battery YOU desire. follow instruction in OP to flash

Thanks will try this later today

Will the odex.me app work with this rom? I'm not lazy, just curious if there's an easier way to odex..tia

Yeah does the odex me app work the same way than doing all that other stuff?

which tether app you using ?
Thanks

Odex me app will not work

great Rom thanks

Is this still running Touchwiz? How much RAM available? Other then your optimizations for speed what has been added or removed? Are animations gone due to the optimizations?

All I have done is tweak properties listed. Didn't mess with animations, or anything. You guys can do all that with a theme, kitchen, etc... I would recommend wild child's work. It's great stuff. Like I said the reason for this is because after you get it the way you want, you can go in and odex it and finalize your OWN build the way you want it to look. I'm not too big on aesthetics. But I can make your device run better
And to answer your question, yes, it is still running touchwiz launcher by default. Again I would recommend apex or nova. touchwiz is awful IMO. nothing unique about it.

Rom looks great will be testing it tonight!
Can anyone confirm wildchilds kitchen is working?

Liking the rom so far, only issue I have come across is that I can't get App2ExtSD2 working.

Can we use your Odex wizardry in any deodexed TW Rom?

Thanks...didn't know he created a separate thread.
Anyway, the first thing I noticed was that when I try to sign into Drop Box from the initial boot sequence, it FCs... I also got nowhere near the Quad score the OP got. Mine was in the 3Ks. Just my experience.

CIQ?

I got over 5K in Quadrant, but I also came from a 100% stock phone (reset it to make sure there were no issues). DropBox fails intially because he removed dropbox from the rom.
EDIT:
I can't seem to find the stock web browser... has it been removed?

[Q] Tips to make my phone fast again?

Hi,
I've got a Tegra One X running SlimBean 4.2.2 WEEKLY 5.7 and n3okernel.
So far so good but there are still some things I'm not really sure about.
First there's something very annoying compared to other phones and even to Sense One X's.
From pressing the lock button to the screen coming on it takes about 1-2 seconds (which is still quite slow but acceptable to me), but sometimes the phone just takes a little bit longer. Sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds (haven't stopped it but it's my impression).
Does anyone have an idea why this could be? Is it possible to disable the fade on animation? I don't need it. I'd rather have the screen just coming on.
And otherwise I've been playing around with Pimp My Rom Beta from the Play Store and fiddled around with some settings and the results seemed quite good to me. Can someone tell me if it's recommended to turn these settings on:
Hardware acceleration (Pimp My Kernel - Android Features)
Lock Launcher In Memory (Pimp My Kernel - Android Features)
Call Ring Delay 0 (Pimp My Kernel - Telephony)
Proximity Sensor Delay 0 (Pimp My Kernel - Telephony)
AMR Wideband (Pimp My Kernel - Telephony)
Optimize sqlite3 Databases (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Ext4 File-Systems Tweaks (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Internal SD-Card I/O Tweaks (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Zipalign all APKs at each boot (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Battery savings (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Quick Power-On (Pimp My Kernel - Miscellaneous)
Adjust GPS config to my country
Wifi Scan Interval 180 (System Tweaks - Internet)
It doesn't have anything to do with speed but I discovered that my battery drains quite fast if I have mobile data enabled. If I disable it there's nearly any drain.
Is this normal and is there a way to make the drain a bit less extreme?
Thanks in advance!

Change kernel would probably fix screen on delay

This is the reason why I've chosen n3okernel. It seems to be better now but still not completely cured.
Which one would you recommend?
I've got the same problem on my Nexus 7 also.
I've flashed Faux there.

Oh boy, where to even start. First it's a known issue with higher end mobile processor's (like tegra 3) that fstrim is not correctly adjusted. To take care of that go to play store and download lagfix and run it, you'll probably notice an immediate difference. I would also download cache mate, clean master (has a broom icon) and also clean master pro (has a little ying/yang icon). Download all 4 of those apps and run them all and you should notice a huge difference. If your SD card space is getting low, that can also slow down your phone. Again, I would go to the playstor and download SD maid and use that to clan up your SD card. This should all make a huge difference. Like I said though I would start with the lagfix app.

I tried lag fix but it made everything worse I suppose.
So I didn't try the other tools.
My SD still has some gigabytes of space so this shouldn't be a problem.
My main problem really is the slow unlocking at the moment.
And the battery drains pretty fast too, but unlocking is really what's annoying me at the moment.
Thanks anyway!

You gotta remember too, the Rom your running is basically a constant beta if you're using weeklies, these issues may pop up. Might wanna try a different Rom and see if it persists.
from my Viped out one x

A few apps could help alot
Download greenify, and seeder
< Coming to you live from the planet One X >

I was running the official build 5 until yesterday but then I thought I should maybe try a newer build. Maybe it's better.
As Build 6 came out today, I've upgraded to this one.
Does Seeder really help?
I've read that it does not help at all because entropy is not really needed so often.
Is there no simple solution for faster unlocking?
