Ok have a few questions, where is the 'hold to exit app' in the settings? I can't seem to find it, it's not like cmsettings. Also, how does supercharge work because I'm having a hard time getting it to work.

You have to download Script Manager first. Run it with whatever settings you want (I use the 512 balanced setting) and reboot. Run the script after the reboot to make sure the settings stuck. If they didn't, check the help file. I couldn't get everything to stick on MIUI so I have Script Manager set to run 99supercharger on boot. I can't remember the exact file location, but the help file that's created on your SD card will tell you everything you need to know. You need to set the V6 supercharger script to run as root, but not at boot. If settings won't stick, set 99supercharger to run as root and on boot. I also configured both as favorites and in Script Manager settings have the favorites screen open by default when I launch the app. You also need to check browse as root in SM settings so that you can locate the 99supercharger file if needed.
You can download SM widgets to place shortcuts or widgets to certain scripts on your homescreen.
I suggest reading through the thread, you'll find a lot of good info there. There's one in the Evo general section and the original is in Android Hacking & Development (I think).

Okay, I understood all that. I'll try it. I read the thread, I believe my problem was I used it on miui and It didn't stick at all so simple change. I'm glad. For some reason my 4g isn't working on decks. Weird cause my rsa are present and it's the right area for 4g, just connects and immediately disconnects.

Is anyone using Zinio with their A100? If so, how do you manage your memory? I need to free up some memory or move it to the SD card but do not know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
You might want to take a look at the SD mount swap by crossix. It mounts your SD card as internal, so if you have a 32gb card you get 32gb internal storage. Well after formatting and android taking space its like 29gb but you get my point. Here's a screenshot of it running on mine, note internal storage.

Yeah it seems to be tricky for some people to get going. I'll assume you use an Acer based ICS and not CM9 like I used for my screenshot, but download the zip, extract the install-recovery.sh file, paste it into /system/etc so it looks like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then set permissions, uncheck every box, save. Re open permissions and set it to
XXX
XXX
XXO
Save.
Reboot, wait a minute. Like seriously a minute, not a few seconds. Then check storage. Depending what file manager you use you will have to mount system as writable, in root explorer its a R/W button up top, in ES file manager its in settings, check root explorer, allow root, mount system as writable check box. Others may be different but I've uses those two and it works.
If you use CM9 its different, but I can walk you through that method as well.

You could manually move the files from /sdcard/com.zinio.mobile.android.reader to /mnt/external_sd, but when you try to access the magazine again from Zinio it will redownload the files to the original location. If you do not have an available internet connection, then the pages will display as all black. There is not a single file that you can select to open the magazine in Zinio, the magazine is downloaded as seperate apdfs, jpgs, and html files.

I've run it on two cm9 releases every flex reaper and taboonay, always works doing as I mentioned. I assume your /system is rw if you put it into /system/etc. Other option is script manager to run it on boot, that's how I use it in cm9.

App Version:
CPU Sleeper
~Free to all XDA Memebers
~ Must Be Rooted to use App
What is it?
Its a fairly simple App that will put CPU 1/2/3 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1/2/3 back ONLINE.
How does it work?
Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
Compatibility?
Works with any Dual Core & Quad Core Devices!
~ICS
~Gingerbread
Battery Saving?
Battery savings all depends on Usage & idle times.
App Download: CPUSleep.apk
Credits:
Handlerexploit for co-creation of this wonderful App.
Script Version!
Code:
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
[B]CPU Sleeper[/B]
[QUOTE]Honestly the Script can be made to work with any Dual Core / Quad Core! The Only Problem is you need to be Rooted!
~ Currently the issue with CM9, is that the boot becomes incomplete while in init.d folder without Modification to the sysinit..
~ however, with any rooted device you can download the script & continue to use it via a script manager app on every boot.
~ With the Script Manager App, this script virtually can run on any Multi-Processor CPU
Hope that clears things Up,
~~Eugene[/QUOTE]
[U]What is it?[/U]

[B][COLOR="red"]WARNING! READ THIS![/COLOR][/B]
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
[U][COLOR="Red"]Instructions[/COLOR][/U]
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
[I]Version 1: Flashable[/I]
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
[I]Version 2: Script only[/I]
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
[U]Init.d supported kernel:[/U]
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
[U]Script Manager[/U]
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
[U]What do I do if I can't boot after using this?[/U]
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.

Ive been testing battery life for a week now with cpu 1 stock and forced on, According to system tuner apk. cpu 1 is not even running 95% percent of the time with screen on and off /using phone, seems the kernel controls this pretty damn good, so.unless that app is not working correctly would something like this script even help at all?

No where in your post do you say DO NOT FLASH. again, no reason to post it or instructions for it if it doesn't work for our device.

yes it works.... I recommend using the App though.
basically everytime i do a back up, it saves to the sd card. but i cant manage my backups because rom manager reads internal memory instead. is there a way to get rom manager to read the sd. i read somewhere you cant really change the default path of the gs3..
What version are you using?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
One quick and easy thing you can try...
In Root Explorer you can link to folders and files. I dont know if other file explorers do this but heres how.
Long press on the folder you want to link to and select link to this...
Then browse to the internal sdcard and press done to complete the action.
Now in Rom Mgr you should be able to see and change to that folder.
Note that if you clear dalvik or data uou will have to reapply this.
Another way would be to use sn init.d script that creates the link every boot. But of course you must have a rom with init.d support.
Hope that helps you out.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
i have the latest version of rom, and i downloaded root explorer but i didnt see the link option.
does cwm naturally back up to sd card? if so this brings me to another thing
i nandroid back up awhile back before i exchanged my phone for a new one (mura effect. got a good on btw) i put my sd card in and my back up wasnt there
so it seems my phone backs up where ever it wants haha...
When you long press on an item, Link to this Folder is the last option in the menu that pulls up.
Most apps by default save to sdcard, which happens to be what Samsung decided to call the Internal storage. I dont use Rom Manager anymore (I like Goo Manager/TWRP recovery better) but wasn't there an option to manually enter the path to the folder you want to use? Didn't think of that earlier. If so enter this (it is case sensitive):
/mnt/extSdCard/PathToYourFolder/
If not, look for that link option again. You have to scroll down the menu so it may be easy to miss.

Since you are using Rom Manager I am assuming you are runing CWM Recovery. If that is the case the files are located in \sdcard\clockworkmod (or something close to that) if you want to remove all your backups delete everything in that folder. I personally would use ES File Explorer you can check the size of the folders. If there is a "blob" folder in forementioned location most of the backup resides in there.
If all of the above is true for you, you may want to look into installing TWRP for recovery and goo manager. It's pretty simple to do. I can help you out with that let me know.
Thank you so much, I am using es explorer, but there's no obvious folder taking that much space. I looked in clockworkmod folder and there is only a download folder, and its only like 16 megs. But when I go to settings and storage it still shows that 3 gigs missing. I even went in this app called 1 tap cleaner, and it also shows me with only 1 gig left (I had 4 gigs before doing the backup). I just don't understand why this only happens to me repeatedly, I've searched Google and cant find the problem. There has to be some reason for this, I can't believe I'm going to have to restore again ,I should have learned my lesson the first time ....

TWRP is a touch-based custom recovery, that basically handles the same as CWM. It's a recovery, not an app.
Check out this screenshot, the graphic Chart seems to show that I have four gigs, not one. And if you add up all the categories and how much space they use, it doesn't add up to 13 gigs, there is three gigs gone in thin air. this app screwed up my tablet, what a headache.....

Since you're rooted, check out "[root]/data/media/clockworkmod" with a file explorer. Not on the Sd card, on the root of the entire system. You should see folders like "system" there. That's where the backups are stored, at least on my N7. I'm not sure ES Explorer can go there. If it can't, try Total Commander (free) or Root Explorer (not free).
Thank you, using Total Explorer I did find a blobs folder exactly where you said it would be, filled with crap, but it won't let me delete it! It tries to, but then says it can't delete.....

You can delete the entire clockworkmod folder, it won't affect anything else. CWM Recovery creates it to store backups, but it has no influence on anything else.
Glad everything worked out
Titanium is only good for backing up apps and settings and some are saying it's not really good for that anymore.
Install GooManager from the play store (it's free) open it, tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner, tap on install open recovery script. It will then install TWRP as your recovery program. You can manage your system backups from inside recovery including deleting them. If you ever want to manually delete a certain recovery while in the Android system (regular running conditions) Use your favorite file explorer to navigate to \sdcard\TWRP and the files will be in a subfolder within.

Awesome, got it and made a backup. If you don't mind, can I just clarify how I would use the backup in the future? Basically I would copy the backup folder to my computer to save it, and if i ever return to stock, I would then just root, install goo manager, use it to install twrp, transfer the backup folder back to tablet, them launch twrp and choose the option to restore the backup? Thanks everyone for taking time to respond, you guys rock

Damnit, the backup isn't showing anywhere, even though three gigs of space is gone. I used es file explorer and it shows the Twrp folder empty. If I launch twrp, how do I manage the backups?

OK I found it using total commander, i had to go in root, data, media, twrp. Just like with ROM manager. How come its installing the backups there on mine, but not you guys. Is it because Im on 4.2.1? How do I get twrp to see the backup?
Ok I found this using google:
"One thing to note is that by default the latest version of TWRP will store your backups in a directory that’s inaccessible unless you use a file browser with root access. You’ll want to navigate to the /data/media/TWRP folder to find your backups manually.
In fact, even TWRP won’t be able to find the folder where your backup is stored automatically. You’ll need to navigate to it manually (or copy the backup to a more accessible folder).

Im not having much luck using Root Explorer to copy the folder to my sdcard, it says pasting for a couple minutes, then my screen shuts off and the tablet becomes unresponsive, so I end up having to reboot. I have no way to use or access this backup. This is nuts. I cant even get it to my computer, i cant access root from it, right?
Edit: Ok, after a lot of time and headaches, I finally got the backup folder pasted to my sdcard. Now twrp sees it and gives me the option to delete it. Only problem is, getting it onto my computer. Windows explorer still wont see the file, the same thing happens to me with my titanium backup folder too, it takes several tries and time to finally get windows to see it for some reason. I must be one of the few people to be doing backups and transferring them lately, I cant believe everyone else isnt dealing with this headache....
As an update, now that I moved the backup folder to the sdcard, now new backups are saving there automatically.

In the future, use disk usage to find what I'd taking up space. Then solid explorer can delete the files... And calm down, geez. you sound like someone who is on the edge of a cliff just because of a tablet... Nit the end of the world

Whatever, being annoyed because I keep having to restore over a stupid problem only equates to thinking its the end of the world in your mind. Its kind of hard to judge tone of what someone is saying over the internet, which is why most people don't (you know, judge how someone is feeling based on written comments)
