[Q] a2sd,a2sd+ and battery usage?? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have searched through quite few threads but really haven't been able to find much on this or any real answers.
By having a2sd or a2sd+, does that drain the battery much more then just having all the apps on the internal NAND/Flash no SD used for apps?
I am assuming the speed would be faster by having it all on the NAND/Flash but I guess not sure on that either, anybody know or seen the difference?
Thanks
Haris

Is overclocking safe?

Hi all,
I have read much on how people have overclocked their Wizards. Is it safe to do so? Or does the chip get too hot or unstable?
Thanks
Matt
if you over do it ofcause it can / do
plus the batt last for much shorter
also why do you wanna overclock ?
to speed things up ?
well it will not speed up the speed of the memory and flash and sd card so in the end it may not add much in terms of responsiveness

[Q] V6 Supercharger

Hi, just wondering has anyone tried this yet on a DHD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276)? Seems like a sensible idea but i am no expert.
Yes, it works but it just looks like another low level memory killer tweak.
It's slightly faster with multi tasking imo

bzzzt... Wrong...
Its more than just a memory tweak. I tried it yesterday and haven't noticed any difference but my phone is fast enough. I probably did something wrong.
This is a brilliant idea for androids with slower processors and low ram but unless you are on speed and want your phone to keep up with you, not a must have. =P
Still brilliant work from the dev. Respect.
tried on desire, i used option 2 (balanced 1 i think)
it does seem to speed things up a little. switching between apps seems a little more fluid.
what are your settings on DHD?
Don't you have more than 700mb of ram?
Use the MegaRAM 2 Option

V6 Supercharger

I am an Eris user, soon to be DINC2 owner at the end of this week. I've been reading through the threads here getting ready for my purchase and it has been very informative.
I searched the DINC2 forums and did not see this mentioned. Has anyone tried zepplinrox' V6 Supercharger script on the DINC2? I'm not going to regurgitate his post verbatim, but it is a memory optimizer. It was introduced to me over on the Eris forums, in the GSB ROM thread. It really makes a difference on the Eris, but I'm not sure how much difference it would make on the DINC2.

He also has another script called 3G Turbocharger. This will probably make a difference on the DINC2. According to zepplinrox, "the 3g script reconfigures the build.prob and kernel to change the speed settings to a better enhanced setting. Think of it like a TCP optimizer on windows." On my phone I have noticed an increase in speed surfing the web, downloading apps and in other 3g activities. It may be placebo, but it does seem faster. If nothing else, I do plan to add this to my DINC2 when I get it.

There is also a Kernel Tweaks script on the above link as well. I am using it too, but not sure what performance gains I am getting.
Per zepplinrox' post, this should work on stock and rooted ROMS.
I am by no means an expert on this, so don't shoot me if this is in the wrong forum, not valid on the DINC2, or a repost. Just trying to pass along something that works well for me.
For now those scripts are useless for phone that came preloaded with GB 2.3.3.....no root no turbo.
This sounds interesting to me, I am rooted, would it work?

This wouldn't really benefit the Inc2. The Eris was a very memory limited device designed to run Android 1.5. Upgrading beyond this was pushing the Eris to its limits, and in some cases, beyond. Running newer versions of Android would make memory management more difficult because of the higher memory requirements and the very limited memory.
The Inc2 has one of the bigger pools of memory available for Android devices. It has 768mb of total RAM when many current generation devices are getting 512mb (others are either getting 768mb or 1gb). Unless you are running a LOT of background apps, or somehow managed to find apps that require massive amounts of memory, this is plenty of room.
What does it do? It tunes memory settings and task manager. That's pretty much it. It could have an effect on the Inc2, but I wouldn't really consider it a necessity.
Edit: BTW, my previous device was an Eris.
Well, Desire HD users with 768mb of ram enjoy improvements.
It even improves performance of an Atrix with 1gb or ram...
So it probably will help.
So "It tunes memory settings and task manager" is an understatement.
It revamps the whole memory thing

Actually, I think these will work without root. I think the only drawback without root is the scripts do not stick on boot so you have to re-run on each boot/reboot.

It may not, but zepplinrox posted above about the Desire HD with similar RAM and the Atrix with more that reported improvements.
Whether you use the Supercharger script or not, the 3G Turbo is definitely worth trying. Again, it may be placebo, but I think my up/download speeds are faster after the script. Here is a post with some info on speed improvements with the script.

I use the Mega memory option with the v6 script. I notice a huge difference in performance.

same here. i've actually tried the v6 superchgarer and saw no improvements. actually, the only thing that happened was my battery life took a hit.
lol, well that's no good.

Has anyone got Supercharger Working with our phones? Also, Wakelock question

Has anyone got V6 on our phones working? Does it make a difference you think since we have so much RAM?
Another thing, I am having wakelocks out the ass, I need to know how I can prevent these from happening.

[Q] Battery Drainage Issues after KitKat Update?

So after I upgraded to KK through Kies, I noticed that my battery drains A LOT faster than it did with Jelly Bean. Also, it literally takes A WHOLE DAY to recharge back to 100% (I accidentally forgot to charge it overnight, and it died when I woke up). I've seen that many other people have this issue as well, even though they have different devices like Nexus.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or heard about it? It seriously makes me want to consider downgrading to 4.1.2, or at least get NoleKat if their battery usage was like how 4.1.2 was - reasonable.
Don't even get me started on the ext SD Card issue. All I'm going to say on that is, whoever paid money for that SD card, gets to decide if third party apps get permission to write on it. This is another reason I'm considering getting NoleKat cause it's been the most reliable custom rom, plus its like Kitkat but it gives you back your SD card rights, and it comes rooted. My only other question is, how is the battery usage? Do you feel that NoleKat on your Tab recharges faster compared to standard firmware KK?
tl;dr
Two questions:
1. Anyone else having the issue of super long recharging/ quicker battery drainage since upgrading to official KK 4.4.2?
2. If you have NoleKat, do you feel like battery usage is fair? (recharge too long, usage too fast)? I haven't heard anything about it, maybe no news is good news?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
