[Tweak] Boost RAM Management - get more free RAM! // [23.03.2011] Fixed Permissions.

Memory Tweak - get more free RAM to use for apps and less lag.
// This was first intended for other ROM chefs, so they can include this tweak in their ROMs. I'm aware that there are apps which can do this. But it's the idea to have it included automatically, so you don't have to annoy your users
However, this is also for normal users. Those just flash the CWM Package thunderteaser made here. Thanks for this.
I made a script which boosts the RAM Management significantly.
You can use this in any ROM - those values have been created from my mind and were being tested for several days in heavy use.
IMHO, it's the perfect combination of RAM Management.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT INTO YOUR ROM
Just make a new bash script and place the following code into it.
NOTE: bash files created on Windows don't work. Create them with a UNIX like Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, whatever) or Mac OS X.
Place the script in /system/etc/init.d so it gets automatically executed at every startup. You have to make this because init.rc (in root dir /) gets executed first and will also set the RAM Management (minfree) on his own.
UPDATE - 20.03.2011
Supercurio said, there is support for init.d in his Voodoo injected kernel for JV1 Gingerbread.
This means, the script is fully working and the Gingerbread JV1 memory leaks are fixed when using those values.
This also means, my current ROM v10.0 Beta 3 already has the Memory Hack integrated.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# DarkyROM 2011 - Joël Staub (darkyy)
# This will stabilize the memory leaks in Gingerbread and other ROMs.
# Adjusting Memory Settings
# The values in MB: 10, 16, 24, 68, 76, 92
if [ -e /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree ]; then
echo "Modifying minfree parameters"
echo "2560,4096,6144,17408,19456,23552" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
else
echo "minfree not found"
fi
Permissions
You may want to adjust the permissions of the script when it's on your phone.
You can do it with ADB.
First, connect to your phone.
Code:
adb shell
Get root access.
Code:
su
Set the permissions.
Code:
chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/ramtweak
Code:
chown root:root /system/etc/init.d/ramtweak
When you're a ROM chef, you can include those permissions either with update(r)-script or with a bash file.
Thanks to zacharias.maladroit for the hint with the permissions.

Ok this looks awesome but for the most part of the members can u make a proper tutorial ? I really don't understand how to implement your hack, how to create a bash script init.d ?
sorry for my noobiness
And when you say in every ROM, did you also mean every custom kernel ?

You just make a new file on your COMPUTER.
Or it would even work on your SGS (but I'm writing now for the Computer).
Example:
Let's say, you're on Windows - create a NEW text file and remove the .txt extension (you need to have this option activated in the explorer settings).
You can leave it to no extension or just make it end on .sh
You got a file called randomname.sh now.
Now to make it easy, just copy this file to the C: drive in NO subfolder.
Now just ADB push this file to your SGS into:
Code:
adb push /randomname.sh /system/etc/init.d
Or just copy the .sh file to your SGS via USB Storage mount and copy it to the directory with Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Yes, this should work with every kernel (Android 2.2.1) here.

Thanks for doing this testing to find good settings. Forgive me if I'm misinformed, but is there anything particularly innovative about new minfree settings? I do appreciate your testing and finding ones that work well for you.

have a good rest, Darkyy !
thanks for this script
so you noticed improved interactivity with "apps and less lag" ?
gotta try this with CM7
FYI:
the defaults of the CM7 kernel are:
Code:
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192
edit2:
make sure that you get the right permissions for the file on the phone afterwards
say:
Code:
chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster
chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster

thanks for explanation ! I have done what you say and rebooted my phone after that. I renamed the file to init.d after placing it into the /system/etc/ directory and setted the défault permissions for this file rwxrwxrwx (or something like that)
But how I find if I have the hack succesfuly installed ?

Not innovative - this is nothing new.
It's just that many ROM devs aren't aware of this and I thought I could share my script.

EDIT:
Ouch, CM7 really has 2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192?
That's really not the best value... looks close like JV1 RAM Management at first glance...
I'm gonna check that later.

Thanks Darkyy! Once again, you kicketh ass!
I am gonna give this a try.

Nice, some info on min free settings:

while we're at it:
you could include lots of stuff from the
tweak script for the Galaxy Spica
in your next revision of ROM
I'm using some of those
and planning to continually add more after having tested them

Gah this is such a retarded suggestion. Darky your SGS ROM is really nice and I'm currently running it, but please think about things like this before you post them.
The SGS has, comparatively, RAM out the wazoo. Why do we want more of it sitting idle and unused? RAM is there to be used, not sit there looking unused and pretty like a virgin at an eastern european slave auction in a free -m command. Twatting about with this setting on behalf of the Android Low Memory Killer is essentially like telling the ROM you have less RAM than you actually do since it will always endeavour to keep that much RAM -free- as in -unused- by the GUI itself as well as Android apps.

Darkyy, so I just copy the codes, paste in notepad then save as [anygivenname.sh] then paste into system/ect/init.d using root explorer and reboot my galaxy s?

Darky is this included in your rom? if not is it going to be?

guys
seriously: read what comes after the 1st ,2nd and 3rd post - or the first 1-3 (or 5 sites) if it's a larger topic
you'll see that you need to change the permissions & owner
you do that via logging in via adb, becoming root (su)
and navigating to /system/etc/init.d/
or do it explicitly from the folder where you are - like I posted
0) prepare file on windows / linux / mac
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# DarkyROM 2011 - Joël Staub (darkyy)
# This will stabilize the memory leaks in Gingerbread and other ROMs.
# Adjusting Memory Settings
# Old Hack (you can ignore this, it's just another method of doing it)
#if [ -e /sdcard/darky_tweak/init.rc ]; then
# echo "Copying init.rc to /"
# cp /sdcard/darky_tweak/init.rc /
# else
# echo "No init.rc found"
#fi
# New Method [15.03.2011]
if [ -e /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree ]; then
echo "Modifying minfree parameters"
echo "2560,4096,6144,17408,19456,23552" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
else
echo "minfree not found"
fi
e.g. save as:
99rambooster
1) dl & install Android SDK
http://www.talkandroid.com/android-sdk-install-guide/
2) connect phone
navigate to tools folder (or from Linux: launch from terminal via command)
3) put it on the phone
Code:
adb push 99rambooster /sdcard/
4) log in to phone & become root
Code:
adb shell
(now in phone)
Code:
su
5) copy it to init.d folder [you eventually need to remount /system rw]
Code:
cp /sdcard/99rambooster /system/etc/init.d/
6) adjust permissions:
Code:
chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster
chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster

To install :
-copy the apk to your sdcard
-Delete the old Browser.apk in /system/app
-Place the new Browser.apk in there
Note:
Don't forget to be superuser and to mount the partition as read-write :
for stock kernel :
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
#cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
#exit
$exit
for CF-ROOT kernel, (thanks to ramad)
su
stop (phone will freeze, that's OK just move on)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system

Surdu Petru,
Thanks for compiling those modules, maybe not the best place to ask, but I'm just currious
if you had any issues with the 10.4.2.17 source code from ASUS, I wish I knew what I was doing wrong
but I had noticed the source was about 25% smaller than previous source I had downloaded from ASUS

Hey guys people here have constant troubles flashing mods to NativeSD roms as they can't be flashed the normal way like gapps,etc
I intend to provide people a solution to patch their roms with the mods of their choice.
Also chefs cooking/porting roms can use this to patch their roms while debugging
Also people willing to contribute mods circulating XDA can also put them up here in the thread
How it works:
This is Aroma based installer based on tytung's NexusHD2 JB 1.0
This is a zip file so people have to first extract it,place the respective mod files/apps in the system folder zip it again and flash
Devs/Chefs working on roms can also place the patches to be made in the system folder.also the original files can be placed in the system-original folder so that patches can be reverted to see what works and what not
Most importantly don't forget to change the ROM_NAME to the nativesd name of the rom you wish to flash in the mount_nativesd.sh file with the help of any text editor(If using your android device,it can be done using jota text editor set to linefinder)
v0.1(Modified by wwchang originally for JellyBelly rom)

There are a few of these installers floating about (with a few made by myself); the last one I had extracted the rom name from the initrd.gz in /sdcard/NativeSD, thus removing the need for the above, if I can find it feel free to modify the installer, it should cut down on some of the work for end users (and make 1 zip usable with multiple ROMs without further modification)
Edit. Changing Mount_NativeSD.sh to:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
mmcblk0p2=`ls /dev/block/mmcblk0p2`
# Mount the ext4 partition
if [ $mmcblk0p2 == "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" ]
then
mkdir -p /ext4p
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /ext4p
cp /ext4p/NativeSD/initrd.gz /tmp/initrd.gz
mkdir /tmp/ramd
cd /tmp/ramd
gzip -d -c ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d
if [-a "init.android"]
then
sed -n '/rom_name=/w romname.txt' /tmp/ramd/init
sed -i 's/rom_name=//' romname.txt
else
sed -n '/--bind/,/system/w initrc.txt' init.rc
sed -n '1w romname.txt' initrc.txt
sed -i 's,exec /bin/busybox mount --bind /NativeSD/,,
s,/system /system,,
s/ *//g' romname.txt
fi
export ROM_NAME=`cat romname.txt`
mount --bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system /system
mount --bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/data /data
#the sd-ext directories are ready, so flag the updater-script
echo "NativeSD=true" >> /tmp/nfo.prop
else
#no ext4 partition found
echo "NativeSD=false" >> /tmp/nfo.prop
fi
should do it, you may want to run your eye through it first.

Good work anuraj as always...
@Hypoturtle... i saw this script on Sportstar too, but I havent tried it... Seems quite interesting but afraid to try (as hd2 is my primary and only phone...) Dont understand much of these code but, is there any way the script uncomment or remove the following lines in init.rc or init.htcleo.rc?
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /system noatime nodiratime
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /mnt/cache nosuid nodev
Sorry I'm still learning, and dont have unserstand any language C,C++ or Java...

This script is different to whats on Sportstar's thread (I think, not sure what your referencing)
All that code does is take the ROM_NAME from the currently used ROM and set it as the ROM for the update to be applied to.
If you want to check if it works then just add a text file into the system folder and see if it installs into the currently running ROM.
The patcher (look at sig.) does the commenting of yaffs in init.rc (as well as other stuff to turn a NAND ramdisk into a NativeSD one).

Thanks for your mods. I downloaded the file Acid audio engine for jellybelly.zip. How do I flash it to the Jellybelly NativeSD ROM?
Can I use 4EXT Recovery for the same?

Well I had some people reporting that NativeSd Gapps installer that i put together using script from HypoTurtle is not working on PAC rom.
So I checked it and it seems that PAC has somewhat different was of mounting, rom name is located in mounts.sh script.
Anyway I've updated it, and now it should also work on such ROMs.
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
mmcblk0p2=`ls /dev/block/mmcblk0p2`
# Mount the ext4 partition
if [ $mmcblk0p2 == "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" ]
then
mkdir -p /ext4p
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /ext4p
cp /ext4p/NativeSD/initrd.gz /tmp/initrd.gz
mkdir /tmp/ramd
cd /tmp/ramd
gzip -d -c ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d
#!/bin/sh
if [ -a "init.android" ]
then
sed -n '/rom_name=/w romname.txt' /tmp/ramd/init
sed -i 's/rom_name=//' romname.txt
else
if [ -f "mountfs.sh" ]
then
sed -n '/rom_name=/w mount.txt' mountfs.sh
sed -n '1w romname.txt' mount.txt
sed -i 's/rom_name="//' romname.txt
sed -i 's/"//' romname.txt
else
sed -n '/--bind/,/system/w initrc.txt' init.rc
sed -n '1w romname.txt' initrc.txt
sed -i 's,exec /bin/busybox mount --bind /NativeSD/,,
s,/system /system,,
s/ *//g' romname.txt
sed -i 's/[[:blank:]]//g' romname.txt
fi
fi
export ROM_NAME=`cat romname.txt`
mount --bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system /system
mount --bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/data /data
#the sd-ext directories are ready, so flag the updater-script
echo "NativeSD=true" >> /tmp/nfo.prop
else
#no ext4 partition found
echo "NativeSD=false" >> /tmp/nfo.prop

For now download tytungs jb kernel and replace his kernel files with the kernel u want to install.
I guess tytungs jb kernel is based on aroma installer for nativesd

Hello,
I know this thread is quite old but I tried to download the Universar NativeSD installer to install a mod into my current NativeSD rom, but the link is down. Where can I get the installer? Is there another way to do what I'm trying?
Thanks.
Regards,

The link to the 720p mod is still working, you could change the system files and rom-name in that one to suit. Or just put your files in your NativeSD rom.zip and re-flash without wiping, backup first though

Thanks Robbie P for your help. But I was referring to the Universal NativeSD installer for all roms v0.1 download link. Anyway, what is the 720p mod?

the 720p mod is in post#2, it allows people to play 720p quality video files. afaik it uses the same install method as the original installer.
You can delete the system folder in the zip and add yours. You would also need to change the rom_name in mount_NativeSD.sh to whatever the rom you are modifying uses (same name as the folder in /sdcard/NativeSD)
Note that permissions and possibly symlinks for the new files might need changing after installation.
If you put the mod files in your original rom.zip and reflash as i mentioned earlier, there is no need to change rom-name.
