Type 'getprop' on your terminal. Can you find sys.keep_app_1 on the list?
Is it really working or not?
not working
Thease should go in the build.prop
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Op please show some proof...
Well.... is this working
doomsday coming make your nandroid backup before its too late !
Local.prop dosent work... Use build.prop
But locking apps in memory(i think ram) will give u peformance boosts and better stability in the app at the cost of ram :/
Which is usefull in devices with 1GB or more ram is usefull ^^ but not on our Y

Why don't you try yourself and stop whining about it. If it works for your then good, if it doesn't better.
It somewhat worked for me. So I shared.
And I think stupid idea threads sound like this.

Well, saying stupid was wrong.. I agree.. but why you didn't confirm whether it worked or not? And please report to mod if you feel it was wrong than flaming someone..

Used it on hyperion which has its own local.prop
used for default apps (same as shown in the pics)
Restarted the phone. opened those. Checked them in task manager. They are present there
Then "End Task All". Return to launcher.
Then tried opening apps again, and they open in mere fraction of second like they are already open.
Checked Task manager but they are not there. Well that's my part of story.
op just want to share his finding...please don't blame on him. android world is full of myth. its a lil bit difficult for common user to check whether a tweak like this one really working or not. just to make it clear, this trick doesn't work. simply because all rom based on samsung's stock rom doesn't support local.prop stuff. only 'real' custom rom like cm have it. however, as filip has suggested, there's another way to run this trick. you can do it by put the code in build.prop or make a script ini init.d contain
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
setprop <key> <value>
in this way, you'll have the prop after you reboot your device. you can check it by yourself by typing 'getprop' in your terminal.
PS: that's the trick to get the prop stuff. I don't know whether it is really working or not since prop stuff is very easy to be modified and not reliable for tweaking. you can even make your own prop. you can type 'setprop my.cat.is_so_cute 1' in your terminal and you'll see this prop in your prop list when you type 'getprop'. the only way to test whether this trick is working or not is by test it by yourself.
if you found this trick is not working you can try this one. create a script in init.d contain
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
PPID=$(pidof <app_name>);
echo "-20" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj;
renice -20 $PPID;
# for an example
PPID=$(pidof com.my_cat.is_cute);
echo "-20" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj;
renice -20 $PPID;
# you need to make sure that the app is running before running this script. after you run the app, type 'su -c sh /etc/init.d/<the script name>' in your terminal
@OP: I appologize since my comment makes you looks bad. I don't know it will be turned like this. sorry
Kuro.. I have tried op's suggestion and the original thread suggestions.. which didn't work..
I mean the one you gave for init.d
Script.. but I will try the build.prop and see how it goes..
Also on side note... any idea how to hide 3rd party launcher showing up in task manager? I have tried some methods.. but nothing worked so far... feels like there is no such option..

Yes, it is
EDIT:
Sorry, I should have read it
more carefully, it is actually based on KaguDroids AOSP (a very fast AOSP) that was based CM's r2. Either way it is fast and works great! It has quiet a few things from CM 5.0.7 in it though
Can someone confrim that Galactic core and Aquarium wallpapers are working in this rom because in other clean roms they just starting but after screen goes out then you hit screen unlock button it changes to default wallpaper.

@hanser01, if this was based off of CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS, why don't you just pick up where Darchstar left off with Darchdroid (GSM Edition). He's currently looking for someone in the GSM Hero realm to take it over since he doesn't have access to a GSM Hero.

Very TRUE, I may, but it also has big problems such as a horrible battery drain and rebooting. Frankly I cant spend to much time developing or else I would be dedicated to fix it =(

think they mean Darchstar's ROM. they've taken Darchstar's ROM and are working on it.
Anyway a little feedback for your ROM. I realised it has the same "insufficient storage space" bug as a few of the other Eclair ROMs. So I can't install any new apps from market or from my SD card.
The only way I know how to fix it is using the Terminal Emulator app but since your ROM doesn't come with it, I can't install it because of the bug even if I have the apk in my SD card. So it's sort of a Catch 22 situation, if you know what I mean.
Thing is, am I able to just manually copy the Terminal Emulator apk file into your "EzHero0.1_signed.zip" file in the "/system/app" folder so that the Terminal Emulator app is installed automatically during flashing? Or do I have to re-sign the whole package again?
Look`s great but i need functional BT with my CAR BT KIT. :-(

bonesy said:
Download and install the latest android sdk .also Java jdk find and download autosign. Do this all by searching. I would download a custom rom as a template for your update.zip. extract the data folder and the Meta folder and put into a new folder, go into Meta folder keep clicking through the folders inside Meta one till you find update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the part saying something like copy package DIRATA and the show progress before it. Once that's all done put the Apps you want into the data folder zip up the data and Meta folders, when you open the zip folder you should only see those 2 no others! Resign it using autosign and flash

This bug normally come with the rom which have data/app partition but forgot to set the correct permition, just modify the update-script after the line:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
and add this line
set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0755 0644 DATA:app
or us adb to change the permition
adb remount
adb chowner system.system /data/app

do you use a hex editor to edit the update-script? reason I'm asking is when i open it with Notepad, it appears as a whole continuous chunk of text. If I open it with Wordpad or MS Word, it's nicely formatted, but when I save it, what should I save it as? There are a few options like Text Document, RTF, Unicode and MS-Dos format. Whatever I choose, when I reopen the saved document with Notepad, it's not in a continuous chunk of text anymore and it's nicely formatted. And as I had expected, when trying to flash this, error msg appeared and the flashing stopped.
Maybe I'll just wait for Hanser to fix this in the next version instead or I'll try using ADB at my home PC.
Hi everybody. I will explain the process here, it is fairly easy

Here is what you’re going to need:
1.Fonts/Language support: this is the most important part. I took the required files for Arabic support from this site
http://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid/downloads/list
all credit goes to Mr. alsanad for his great code
Persian and Hebrew seem to work fine with the font I'm using right now, but I can read both, so I can't say it's 100% working.
Persian: you may want to play with it a little, maybe add newer fonts later by yourself.
Hebrew: when I search Google I found only fonts for Android 1.5. however if you find the fonts, the process should be the same
anyway, the Arabic font package I am using right now apparently can display Hebrew characters...
2.7-Zip or any program that can create “tar” files
Please note that the fonts you get in most of the cases are made for HTC android devices in mind, not for WM devices. And they require recovery mode and other stuff (I can’t explain a lot because I don’t own Android device). So we’re going to convert the file, and make it suitable for our devices.
Steps:
1.Get the fonts file and extract the content to whatever place you like
In the case of Arabic, you should see two folders:
PHP:
META-INF
System
2.Select the folders, and right click on them, them choose 7-Zip > Add to Archive
3.Make sure you choose archive formate as “tar”
4.Name the file “androidupdate” and save
5.Copy the file to you SD card: put in andboot folder
6.Installing the update: I quote this from “How to replace Windows Mobile with Android”
Place the SD card in your phone and power on your Kaiser. When you see text on your screen hold down the D-pad. D-pad is that button in the center of your up, down, left, right buttons. Keep holding down the D-pad until you see something like this appear on your screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7.Choose install update: you will see then some lines and then word Installing.
8.When finished, choose quite, or soft rest.
9.You’re done
Make sure you choose the right font for your Android. Apparently each version of android requires some modifications.
You might want to add some specific keyboard. I recommend Smart Keyboard... it is super fast, very accurate, and has support for different languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew.
I tried these steps on Kaiser running VaniljEclair RLS7c with the latest kernel.
I know this guide is basically unpacking, renaming, then installing... But it might be a little hard for some people..And I hope it will help them.
Make sure you back up you date or whatever important information you have on your phone and SD card before you start.
I have uploaded the files I used for my device. these fonts are meant for android 2.1
Cheers
Duke that has got to be the best timed guide I've ever seen, just finished making up a hebrew fonts update for shar1r, lol
Excellent guide, this deserves a sticky, since it is a question that has been asked before, and will be again
I usually edit an existing androidupdate.tar using 7zip, but this method is more complete, ( my method is mostly a lazy hack ).
Awesome!! I just posted a question about this - and voila this great tutorial!
Thank you!!
Sure, no problem. glad I can help
first i gotta tell u this thread is cooool
and thank u for ur effort

If the guide isn't working for you then you can always try a multi language build. I know both Scoot and I keep our multi language Cyanogen 6.1 based builds updated. You might want to look towards those.
Link in 1st post doesn't seem to be working for me either.
Yet i think you should change the title of the thread, something like:
How to add YOUR language to a build

Avoid return key, learn to use space. For a moment i thought i was reading a poem...
the coder apparently switched from Google code. here is the new website
http://ardoid.com/
I would recommend using generic Froyo libs as they might work. I don't have my TyTN II anymore... all my testings are on HD2.
http://ardoid.com/?p=64
most of the mutlilang builds will have native support for Arabic/Persian fonts, however, they won't look connected.
you migh need to use "libskia.so" and/or "libwebcore.so" only in this case.
Adding language support is trail and error, so give yourself plenty of time before trying this out.
I am using the libs for the Desire HD on my HD2 and they work perfectly fine.
And yeah, you can try a program called Tor www.torproject.org or Hotspot Shield www.hotspotshield.com to change your IP address.
Hey friends, this is my first ever thread, so please excuse me if I've made any mistakes, like posting at wrong place, etc.....
I'm attaching the .apk and lib file for swype keyboard from "Indian Gingerbread Stock Rom" DDJV6.
Now, if you're wondering wondering why I bothered to post it, when (almost) every rom has it pre-installed..... the answer is this-
Its the most awsome swype keyboard I've seen in my life. WHY???
1. It has a dedicated 'smiley' key..... just press it and all smileys pop up, u can select one and this is very helpful while chatting/ messaging.
2. A dedicated 'mic' key, so u can use voice,,,, ie., u can simply 'speak' instead of writing. [just like 'samsung keyboard']
3. a dedicated 'language' key, to quickly switch between different languages, and it supports many..... en-us, en-uk, etc., etc.. 11 i counted.
4. go to 'symbol' mode, there is a key for 'input method' that u can use to switch between different keyboards. yes, i know you can do that by long pressing in the text box too, but sometimes, when there is no text box, like in terminal apps, this comes in handy.
5. overall look is very kool!!!!
pls give it a try, and tell if you like it.
How to install:-
DO backup, etc etc,,,, whatever you need to do, cuz i'll not be responsible for anything.
> using ADB.
or
>using some root explorer. {you need to be rooted ofcourse}.
or, just like what i'm gonna do next,
> Take any Rom of your choice { I'm gonna use JVP 2.3.4}, extract the .zip file, replace the swype.apk from System>app folder with this one, zip it again, flash using recovery. (note that you must have a "recovery flashable" rom, which is in .zip format,,,,,,, there are also "odin flashable" roms in .tar format, and this meathod wont work with them.
remember,
1. Place swype.apk in System -> App folder.
2. Place libSwypeCore.so in System -> lib folder.

Nice.
Would love to have the "smiley" key. All the others are of not much use to me.
I am using Swype 3.6 and love the word selection window, would hate to go back to older one. (if i go, I guess I have found the one, to use ).. I already have the voice button.. (all the others, I don't have, but don't find it of much use)..
Any way to "export" the smiley key to another apk. (Swype 3.6, in my case)..?

I am pretty sure that , porting the smiley key would be much easier to do. The other might required playing around with the source code?

well, u see, the place where u want me to put thwe smiley key,,, thats already occupied by something else, so i'll have to move it somewhere else,,,,, this means eventually remapping entire keyboard, wch cud b difficult.
porting the word selection window shud be easier, like just copying and pasting the source from 3.6 to 2.6 and can u post the apk for 3.6? i can look around on internet took, but ity wud waste time.

Will do once I reach home.
I believe there is no library file though..(libSwypeCore.so..),so I guess posting the apk would be enough.
Why didn't you name this thread though?
Here it is.
Can you tell me how to port the smiley (and its functions) to the existing layout? ( The function in place of smiley, (language change) is the useless (for me) ; so I don't mind losing it).

i think something must be wrong....
all the swype keyboards i've seen, in any rom, not just DDJV6 or JVP are about 8MB in size, howcome its only 3.2MB???
anywayss, i've gone home for a couple of days due to some reason,,, dont have my laptop wid me..

I guess, it is because the version I downloaded contains only 3 languages (Eng-US/UK and Spanish). The bigger one is 13 MB, I think..

What do you need?
Hex Editor
libhtc-opt2.so from /system/lib
Android SDK (or at least adb shell)
Warning: keep in mind that now 2D rendering will be always checking in your development settings
This is already fixed in new 1.29.401.7 update!
What to do? (method 1 - from PC level)
Download and install any Hex Editor on your PC
Grab libhtc-opt2.so from your device and save on your PC
Open libhtc-opt2.so using Hex Editor
Find line: persist.sys.ui.hw.0.1.
0 should have HEX value 30. Change 0 to 1 (HEX value will change to 31)
Entry should now looks like: persist.sys.ui.hw.1.1.
Save file
use adb push libhtc-opt2.so /system/lib to insert library back to your device
Reboot your device
What to do? (method 2 - from device level)
Download Hex Editor from the Google Play
Open libhtc-opt2.so using Hex Editor
Find line: persist.sys.ui.hw.0.1.
0 should have HEX value 30. Change 0 to 1 (HEX value will change to 31)
Entry should now looks like: persist.sys.ui.hw.1.1.
Save file
Reboot your device
Download modded library (flash in recovery)
Download here
A little bit about libhtc-opt2.so
It's called by build.prop entry: ro.vendor.extension_library=/system/lib/libhtc-opt2.so
It contains a lot of different settings, including governors settings. This is the reason why tweaking governors settings in init.endeavoru.common.rc doesn't work.
It contains many settings HTC did to Tegra 3 configuration.
It's better not to remove that file from the system
According to libhtc-opt2.so, GPU 2D rendering is suppose to be enabled in various situations:
com.htc.launcher, com.android.camera, com.htc.android.mail, com.android.browser, com.google.android.apps.maps, com.htc.laputa
com.google.android.videos, com.sdgtl.watch, com.htc.video, com.htc.streamplayer, com.google.android.youtube, com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant
gr.androiddev.BenchmarkPi, com.smartbench, com.quicinc.vellamo, com.android.cm3, com.glbenchmark., se.nena.nenamark
com.southend.electopi, com.tactel.electopia, com.antutu, com.greenecomputing.linpack, eu.chainfire.cfbench, com.georgie.pi, com.netflix.mediaclient
You can check if it's working by typing:
adb shell
getprop persist.sys.ui.hw
Output should be 1 if it's working. Will be 0, if it's disabled. With my tweak it's always 1. BTW HTC nice trick to rise up benchmarks scores!
A little bit about so popular build.prop tweaks
persist.sys.ui.hw=true doesn't work. Don't believe it, don't use it. Adding that to the build.prop means you don't know what you're doing. Seriously, copy-paste tweaks method from other xda threads with so called "findings" is not good. This value is controlled by libhtc-opt2.so.
persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT=60 doesn't work either. Why? Because it's 60 by default already! It's down-creased to 30 ONLY when power saving mode is enabled, so when your battery is below some critical level.
persist.sys.NV_STEREOCTRL=0 doesn't work either. Why? Because it's 0 by default already!
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 doesn't work either. And that's the most funny tweak in ICS. Where does it come from? In gingerbread most of the oom_adj values were stored in init.rc inside ramdisk (f.g. setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ). They were used in ActivityManagerService. But since Ice Cream Sandwich, those settings were moved to services.jar inside /system/framework. They are no longer in ramdisk! So typing ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 in build.prop gives nothing but one extra false changelog line. It's bull****. Some people also call it "gimmicks"... and use it
I will post more once I find them
Yeah I know, I'm a "noob", "zip-modder", "dev with no skills" etc. and all this info were kanged from other "real devs" brains. I just used special machine to suck their knowledge
Thank you so much for all your hard work Mike.

Ask them. While you're at it ask why the battery isn't removable, nor the SD card.
Does this affect battery drain (Positively or negatively?)

also i read what a google dev said a while ago ... apparently the system locks a chunk of memory for every app that uses gpu rendering ... 8 mb or so ... so thats quite a bit if you lock em all ... not a nice idea especially with sense

Those are apps when 2D rendering should be enabled. You can check it by:
adb shell
getprop persist.sys.ui.hw
output should be 1 if it's working. Will be 0, if it's disabled. With my tweak it's always 1.

Thanks, fixed!
This mod is full time 4x and 2x MSAA for TW on the d2spr.
Download available in post 2.
Performance Edition in post 3
All development for this mod has been developed through the device on the device for the device.
If you need help with this mod feel free to ask. However, there are a few different mods listed. Please state which mod you are using so I can better help you!
First things first.
I want to thank...
"Kennyglass 123" for you patience in this forum.
"qwerty12"
"x714x"
If it weren't for you guys this would be an absolute fail! Your great knowledge is appreciated!
**If you include this in your rom please include me in your credits as a few haven't.**
If you are a rom developer and would like to include this mod in your next rom then go for it. No need to ask.
This mod is FULL TIME 4xMSAA and produced by a single text file in /data/local/temp/ called "yamato_panel.txt" Set your permissions for the device to read it and reboot. Any changes made to the file are not instantly applied and will need a reboot.
To verify the samples get the app "Basemark ES2 taiji"
It's optional but not necessary to...
- Remove the line "0 0 android from /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg
- Rename "libGLES_android.so" to "libGLES_android.bak" in /system/lib/egl.
This forces the system to use hardware rendering and speeds up the whole system. Even though we have this set in alot of build.props it will still use SW rendering at times. This completely eliminates SW.
The 1 in "0 1 adreno" defines HW.
What is Anti-Aliasing??

FT4xMSAA yamato_panel.txt
NOTES..
1. Do NOT attempt to set MSAASmoothing to "high" as it will cause your display to look like 8 bit graphics. (Anybody want to try to fix this be my guest)?
2. MSAAMode=1
Sets samples to 2x
MSAAMode=2
Sets samples to 4x
3. facenessCulling=on
This will drastically increase the picture quality but also put more strain on the system. This can be set to "default" for easier rendering.
ISSUES..
1. Since the recent updates to ASOP, this mod is no longer recommended for it. This is now for T.W. only.
2. The taskbar artifacts have been significantly reduced in 4x and non existent in 2x.
3. This is not a performance mod!
This mod will cause a higher strain on the system. Effects of this mod are slower performance but a far better visual experience.
The text file for 4x MSAA.
Use it at your own risk. Attempting to modify some settings may leave your device soft bricked! However, if this happens you can simply remove the file in TWRP and reboot.

After installing this mod or simply installing any standard rom its recommended to quickly scroll something on your device to properly set the framebuffer. This is why a newly installed rom may be choppy at first.
BUILD.PROP
Additional edits to the build.prop. These alone will create a significant gain in the visual experience and possible scrolling smoothness with or without yamato!
Tweak as you like.

It will smooth out the display graphics for a higher definition look. It essentially smoothes the edges of everything rendered on your device. Colors and shading will also be improved.

This works great with the GPU script and the build prop tweaks but that yamoto file causes some weird lines on my status bar so I deleted that. Quadrant scores are over 6k with this mod now! Thanks! Much smoother user experience!

Yes there are some disturbances in status bar. They come and go and not sure why. Switching to 2x mode should completely eliminate it though if you want. The build.prop edits should speed things up a bit. A better scroll, better colors and shading.

Yamato..
Download the "yamato_panel.txt" file and drop it into "/data/local/tmp/" then reboot.
Build.prop...
Go to "/system/build.prop" file.
Open it to edit it's text.
Add or copy and paste the lines provided in the OP into the "/system/build.prop file.
There is a download provided for the build.prop so you can easily copy and paste from it.
or
Use your favorite build.prop editor and add them through there.
Reason for no flashable zip?
I don't like messing with others build.prop file as I don't have a good uninstall zip for that if they don't like it.
I didn't feel the need for a yamato zip either because it's just one text file you drop in one file.
However, if it would help, I could make one. I would like everyone that would like to try this out to be able to do it. If there is an issue with installing for anyone, just l let me know and I will help you out!
Yes please create a flashable zip because I'm having troubles.
