[Q] CM9 Speed

Hey all,
First off - this is in no way a knock against all the self-sacrificing developers we have - they truly rock!
My question requires a little bit of background. I've been flashing since the days (lol) of Midnight Rom. Switched to Syndicate Frozen. I then started in the CM world with CM7 and liked it a lot. I felt it was quite snappy - although it had some quirks. Then when CM9 came out - I dived in. The quirky list of things about CM9 has really grown smaller and smaller. But one issue I feel remains. The speed. When I switched to CM9, I thought, well it's new, and it "wasn't even supposed to be able to fit on our phones to begin with..." but now I just don't know.... there has been a lot of streamlining and bug tweaks - I would have thought it should have smoothed out a bit.
My problem is, I just don't know when it's going to lag. I feel like sometimes it's fine, and other times it's just sitting there waiting and waiting to complete the action I've tapped. Other times it freezes and I have to long press the back key to kill the app.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me? Are we living in denial (lack of snappiness to have the latest OS ver), or is my phone saying I don't like what you've put in me!
FYI - I started with CM9 Alpha (something - can't remember) and I'm currently running Beta 3 (I usually like to wait a few days to see if there's any issues with the latest build b4 flashing). When I flash the latest builds, I only wipe cache part and dalvik cache. I also am sure each time to flash the recommended GAPPS. I have on occasion "fixed permissions" but that didn't do much.
I've been faithful about not flashing another kernel - although if that would help, any recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I was interested in trying the V6 Supercharger, but never did - and now it seems that no one is using that....
So is it just me, or is this everyone?

Start clean... wipe data... go into mounts and storage format /system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash the newest build and enjoy the slick ness... trust me fresh starts will save your life. Besides when installing new builds you can go into back up and restore. Backup your Google account and it will reinstall all your apps automatically.
The V6 supercharger will help as well.

How (step by step would be awesome) - does this save all app data too?

The page V6 SuperCharger for Beta2 doesn't look promising for the newer builds - it looks dead! Any tips on installing this script for the first time (and using Beta4)?
Thanks again!

Hit menu. Go to system settings go to back up and reset. Hit backup account. Choose your Google account. It doesn't notify you of when its done but 5-10 minutes should be ample. It doesn't save data... sorry. But if you need it you can use titanium backup and restore data for apps you absolutely need.
That is not the V6 you want. This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
You run this is script manager. If you need a how to I'd be happy to write one. Or a visual if you honestly need one.

Ok that's what I did - I wasn't sure that it worked because it didn't say - "ok boss, we got your stuff backed up!" lol

That would be awesome, as I'm not sure which files I need to download, and what options to choose.
Thanks so much!!!

Give me a second to boot the laptop up... can't type as fast on my phone

You will want to run these after you install the new build.
Okay the files you want to download are the V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC8.2, and the Kick Ass Kernelizer RC8. Once these are downloaded (ignore the fact they are PDF's) Go ahead and download and install Script Manger from the market and open it up and find where you downloaded those files. Run the Kick Ass Kernelizer first. Tap it the dialog comes up and tap the Superuser icon to "run as root" then hit run. It will run through its terminal deal, when it asks for the I/O tweaks go ahead and say yes... i know it says bootloop potential but it hasnt happened to me so id say your good. Then it will give your options (K)ick ass , Chew G(u)m, and E(x)it. Type in K for it to install and to unistall you would type U, then hit enter... it will run through and when it says goodbye at the end at the top left you can hit close. Then go ahead and run the V6 Supercharger the same way. This one will give your scroll options type 1 hit enter. It will as for fix emissions type y hit enter, then it will ask to system integrate init.rc type y and hit enter. Then when it gets done it will ask if you want to use these custom values.. hit no... then i normally use the 7 option... but i suggests what options which is 5-7 for the epic since it has roughly 512mb of RAM. Then it will go through a terminal print again when it comes to the Superclean and Restart go ahead and choose yes. It will reboot and your all good to go. ... definetly making a copy of this... that was a long type .

NICE - I held of from doing the wiping of system and flashing from scratch - and the V6 made a HUGE difference!!!! Now every time I flash the latest Beta I'll need to run both of these scripts again, right?

From which screen or app do you do this? From my home screen I hit menu and could not find anything like "system settings" or "backup and rest". I think I've seen these before but i'll be damned if I can find them now.
Thanks

From the homescreen hit the soft button "menu", you should have:
Wallpaper
Manage apps
System Settings
or go to your app drawer and find "Settings"
that's where you'll see "backup & reset

[Q] 4-Way Reboot

Apologies in advance if this has been answered already.
I'm rooted and running a stock pre-rooted (T999_UVDLJA) ROM. Is there a quick an easy way to have 4-Way Reboot without flashing an entire ROM?
Thanks.

4 way reboot? Are you talking about having the reboot menu with reboot, reboot into recovery, hot reboot, etc? If so, there are a few apps that will do that, requiring root of course. I searched "reboot menu" in the play store and got a few hits. Try a few variations of that and you should hit something you like. Otherwise you can just get widgets for the functionality you are looking for. On my last phone I had a ''hot reboot' shortcut because the memory was low and it helped keep the phone running at its best.

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. I find it extremely useful when trying out different ROMs. doing backups, etc.

I prefer something that was "baked in" over an app or widget. I guess a custom ROM will probably be my only route in that regard.
Thanks for your reply, and suggestions.

Just flash using cwm. You do have to be deodexed though.

[A] Mods without hacking APKs or custom rom (multiwindow any app)

Install and run Exploit apk to get root:
Install XposedInstaller-ICS_JB-rc2.apk, follow instructions on post.
Install XposedMultiWindow.apk.
Open the Xposed Installer app (installed in step 2). Click 'Modules', then check 'xMulti Window Mod', and reboot. (activates the run-time patch allowing all apps to be multiwindow compatible).
BTW, there are more cool Xposed modules (like call recording, per-app dpi, and no 100% battery notification) you can download here. Xposedframework eliminates the need for stock rom chefs imho.

Amazing

So if I installed the new stock deodexed rooted Rom from teshxx (which has the new Tmo multi window update) I can still use the above method to add multiple apps to multiwindow?

Yes, you can use xposed with any rom.

One question tho anyway to change it so every able doesnt show on the big multiview app aftee clicking edit I have a bunch of apps and it lags when scrolling.
Thanks again!

How do I know if the multi-window works? I followed all these steps, but what I got is exactly the same as before. Where is the multi-window and how to call it out? Tried long press the return button but nothing happened. Or it does not work for T-mobile device?

I have completed the installation and have to admit that this made my night. Huge props to the person who developed this. Installing on my partners note 2 as well. Looking forward to seeing what else xposed comesbup with

Did you do the T-mobile update from yesterday? If so toggle multi window on in Settings--->Display. If you've done that then hold down your back button for a couple seconds the multi window should pop up at the left. You can hold back to hide it again.

Updated the subject. As the post above states, you need to be running the newest update.
This situation is an excellent example of why the xposed framework is such a great way to mod.
Had this been a standard flash patch, you would likely have force closes, or worse a soft brick.
With xposed, those problems are a thing of the past. If it can't hook the mod in, nothing happens (just as you are seeing). Hopefully in a future release there will be some indicator if a mod cant be hooked in.

Nevermind... got it working. F'n awesome, thank you!

Thank you for posting this mod. This made my day - I like keeping my phones with stock rom for as long as I can for stability sakes, and this mod is just what I needed.

Are there any draw backs to this mod? I was reading the original Exploit apk post and some are talking about a green camera screen.

If you just root through the app you'll be fine. The green camera screen happens when you check the boxes to actually disable the exploit.

Can someone please answer this? I don't want to get this mod and have every single app of mine show up on the multi window list, I just want a certain selection of apps
edit: nevermind, I installed it and you get to choose the apps to add to the list if anyone is wondering. They don't all just show up on the bar, you get a list of yours app and you edit the bar to choose what you want to add

Maybe you misunderstood him? All apps will only show when you click on edit. From that edit screen, you can then drag specific apps over to the multiview bar. After you're done editing, only apps you dragged over will show on the bar.
So two different things here: edit screen and the bar itself.

Hello everyone.
One question on this root process, can we install and use overclock applications such as SetCPU and TunerPro?
And if we had to, can the process be reversed and go back to stock unroot Note II?
Thank you.

1. Yes, once you're rooted, you can use apps that request root like SetCPU, Titanium Backup, AdAway, etc.
2. Yes, if you're on stock rom and recovery, you just go to SuperSu > Settings > Full Unroot.

Wow thanks that's the fastest root i have done. ALSO easy to be on Stock rom and have multi Window with every single app. Much thanks

Remember to uncheck the disable exploit boxes before unrooting, or you won't be able to re-root using the exploit.

[Q] Apks for rebooting

Are there any apks for Note 2 that will give me a multichoice to either to reboot into recovery mode, download mode or simply reboot. I know that Chainfire's CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 has those options for S3 but is there anything similar for the Note 2?

Hi! I am using RomToolbox(Pro). It has a feature called "Rebooter", which does exactly that. It is possible to add an icon to the desktop. Probably the free version has this feature too.

Hi Martux76, thanx for your suggestion. I've installed RomToolbox and under the 'Rebooter' feature I couldn't find any options for Download mode. The other options are all there.
PS. I've found a free one called 'RebootMenu'. It features Reboot Device, Reboot Recovery, Reboot Download, Reboot Bootloader and Shutdown. It's very simple but it works.

Android L reboot options (kinda)

L has been out for a couple of weeks for now and after flashing the L port from android develoment page I noticed that in the power menu there was no options for "rebooting to recovery" so I put these together:
View attachment Reboot.4.apk
View attachment Reboot_Recovery.3.apk
View attachment Reboot_Bootloader.1.apk
The names are self explaining but I am not responsible if u get put into a boot loop or anything like that.
I am going to be making more things like this but here is the link for my original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/cool-tasker-apps-t2869234 that I started posting apps like this on
TO USE THIS JUST DOWNLOAD THE OPTIONS YOU WANT AND INSTALL THEM. NEXT JUST CLICK ON THE APP AND GRANT SUPER SUER PREMISON THEN CLICK ON THE APP AND IT WILL REBOOT TO RECOVERY OR JUST REBOOT YOU OR REBOOT YOU INTO YOUR BOOTLOADER

Just in time, just flashed Android L (9001) and I want Reboot Menu options like previous custom roms tweaked..
thanks and trying it now.. feedbacks in a moment
hope i wont get bootloop

No problem did it work?, I myself am using 9001 and it works great. Check out my other thread (link up top) I have more lile this one.

Yeah it works, but it would be better if its only 1 app when click it pop-ups the reboot recovery, bootloader & turn-off menu...
SimpleAOSP + UKM/Synapse = Nexus 4 Glider-X
