Phone into a Good Gaming Rig.
old thread here
What does it do?
-MPEngine is a live engine script which was supposed to help on some parts that LazerDroid script couldn't handle,
but now its complete independent script(some little parts are shared), this one beast engine will demolish all those crappy huge lags
How do i apply?
-if you have a older version of my script, or other scripts, delete them.
-my old script is located in init.d, wipe init.d with cwm, or manually delete them before flashing new version.
-now that my script is coded to be completely UNIVERSAL, i dont see why not combining with the other scripts out there!
-you must have cwm recovery that supports wipe init.d or nandroid backup.
1.first download busybox from stericsonhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox and install busybox.
2.download the latest flashable zip in attachments, flash through recovery.
3.reboot & enjoy!
for latest RPEngine: -REBOOT TWICE after flashing. its a part of procedure, for full installation.
if you want to uninstall, flash rpengine_uninstall.zip. only works for rpengine.

usrguide.txt
article updated at 1-21-13.
hi guys, this is the mpengine author known as Lag Dr. in xda-developers.com
here im going to show you how does it work, benefits of tuning usrsettings, and how to use it.
lets begin!
1.how does it work?
this engine is made to clear out all lags that happens while playing high end games on your inefficient ram memory.(512mb or less)
tuning LMKs will tend to freeup more memory, so many of you think just tuning this will kill all the lags on games.
well then how about gta3 or max payne games? do they work better?
afaik, LMKs kill processes but the leftovers(registered caches) still remain.
the free ramspace youre seeing through task manager is not entirely a freememory.
so even though LMK cleans all the processes, games will suffer from lags because they have to detect which cache remains and which cache gets dumped.
this engine calculates all that sh*t and flushes page caches REALTIME. once you apply this and play a game, you will notice that there is no more hanging on gta3 or max payne games.
some of you may have a question about why this cache doesnt drop dentries and inodes.
its because clearing inodes will make apps totally lose control and have to rebuild it again, what a resource waste. also apps will still be able to load faster since inodes and dentries remain.
page cache normally takes up bigger amount of ram than dentries or inodes. so why you want to drop all caches? dropping only page cache is more efficient than ever!
2.advantages of tuning usrsettings
this version has a cool feature called usrsettings.
changing values for this file will immediately take affect, you dont have to reboot(except VALUE11 & VALUE14).
the default settings were based on my crappy and sluggish radiowave walkie-talkie, so manually tuning them for your own device may give you much more advantages.
3.how to use usrsettings.
there is a file called usrsettings on the same directory. open with text editor, and edit.the descriptions about which value does sth is included in there also. good luck!
(some engine parts were disabled by default like dalvik booster, but these settings can be re-enabled by editing usrsettings. oh, and some easter eggs are hidden in there)
thats all for now. enjoy

How to check if it works?
for new RPEngine™.
-open terminal shell
-type cat /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.
-if the result is 1, it means its working!
if you have problem that the script doesnt get applied, try manually extracting files and copy those files into the right position.
-/rpengine/ should be pasted to your /system/rpengine/
-/etc/ should be pasted to your /system/etc/
-/xbin/ should be pasted to your /system/xbin/

It does work if you ask me... Well this script makes your phone perform better in gaming... And like what the developer said, GTA 3 doesn't hang or freezes... It frees up some RAM on your device for gaming... So, please give thanks to the developer... I'm just here to share this with you guys who are like me... A gaming kind of person...

Every times i flash this tweak , i will get bootloop.
I have tried it on CM9/CM10/AOKP
none of them works for me.
Many people have asked the OP , why we get bootloop ,why the values of cat /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches always 0
but he seldom answer them and never fix it lol
a certain co-filipino xda member here,, also shared that thing to our own filipino forums/android section,,
i was tempt to try it,.,, and flash the latest mpengine_12,,
he said i just flas it via cwm,,, but after flashing,,, my wonder never got the chance to boot... i've tried to wipe cache/dalvik/fp/ but to no avail...
my wonder didnt even got the chance to reach the bootanimation,,,,,, after the wonder preview,, it was just plain black screen....
Hmm.. I guess i habe to delete this thread since everyones isnt working...
Sent from my Moms STOCK Mini 2 (
i think not,,,,,
some may try it,, and might even tweak it to make it really work to our devices..
the same thing happened in our forum,, some said they're stuck at bootloop,, others confirmed that their device works wickedly faster and smoother...(someone confirmed that by using the tweak,,, he was able to play nba2k13 to an xperia mini pro)
so i guess its just a matter of tweaking to make it work to our devices....
iv followed n tried the mpengine since mpengine 10 n the command given"0".sometimes give "3".did try the manual method using terminal n got "1" but after rebooting my device the command didnt work anymore..iv tried many other tweaks to my wonder..for those who really want to try this tweak,try follow every step of the instruction including the installation of the busybox.if im not mistaken from the original thread someone did mention that the installing busy box from that particular provider/site is an important step together with the removal of any other script n tweak.(im guessing not only in the init.d but mayb in xbin folder if there is any)hope it will help and CMIIW.

just as an information for those who didnt know,the lag doctor is currently developing LMK booster.a new script which is said more better than the latest mpengin/rpengine.

There isn't enough room here to thank everyone individually, but here is a list
of some of those who have directly affected the development of this project:
* oldmacnut – is a master craftsman and all-around stand-up guy. Always on the ball with testing , throwing out fresh ideas, file hosting and helping new friends out of tough spots, I do believe that there is nothing that this man can’t do. * ssserpentine – The GSM boss. Always active and lively in the forums, (even if he is a bit off-topic,) Sserp adds fun and a touch of insanity to balance everything out. I do believe he will stay attached to this project in the future, (in one form or another,) so get used to this fleshy smell-bag as he marches through this project like giant radioactive rubber pants. * alexgogan – I owe this man a debt of gratitude, (though I cannot disclose what for just yet,) but you will likely see his name attached to the credits in all future releases of this project. * Mattman83 - for never failing to help out other users. * jjhiza – As a rom dev, this is the exact sort of guy you want lurking about in your thread. He shares ideas, contributes, and generally elevates the level of conversation (when he’s not in a flame war, lol). Always a pleasure. * corodius - for helping folks keep thier HC tabs running smoothly. * Sҡȳᴪʌɩҡͼṟ - wrote a spectacular guide for installing the GSM build, and deserves thanks for a job well done. * betolley – He is working on a similar project at another site and many of the ideas we exchanged in PMs helped me to think my way through a lot of technical issues. * chriskader – did some very nice video reviews of both the a2 and a2.5 releases on YouTube, making him the unofficial project journalist. Thanks a lot! * snprkllr76 – put his GSM tab in harm’s way for the greater good. Without it, the GSM release might have never happened. Big thanks to you! (And let me know if you need this tab back, I’ve had it forever!) * fattiemcdoogles – When my CDMA tab was crushed to death under the mighty weight of Odin, this guy stepped in and saved the day by helping me to obtain a replacement. Much appreciated! * Herbiced – provided the initial file hosting for this project, saving us all from the dreaded queues at the “free” file-hosting sites. Gracias! * And there are many others, these are just a few I wanted to shout out to.
A list of a few of those that indirectly contributed to this project through their
contributions to the general independent Android development community:
* Boushh –whose work on the schi800 kernel was used as the basis for my CDMA kernels. * deeper-blue –his work on the Nook color demonstrated the possibility of porting HC and inspired this project (and many others, no doubt.) * alterbridge86 – whose work on the p1000 kernel was used as the basis for my GSM kernels. * supercurio – for providing easy access to his assortment of Voodoo goodies. * Technomancer - whose work on the p1000 kernel was used in my early GSM builds.
And, of course, a huge thanks to XDA for allowing me to host this project here,
and to the XDA mods who help keep the place running smoothly.
Lastly, I want to thank every individual who sent a kind word in a PM or in the thread...
Reading your words of encouragement at 4 am when I was out of ideas, exhausted and ready to give up was sometimes the only thing that kept me going.
Thanks for all of your support.
(If you feel that there is someone who belongs on this list but isn’t please let me know.)
The Future:
I am going underground for a while. I tend to work best uninterrupted behind closed doors.
The next release will be full of surprises and many new features. It is my hope that this project
will no longer need the tag "Alpha" when I am ready to release it.
Time will tell.
Thank you for being patient while I work.

What process did you use exactly to get yours to boot? I'm not at all unfamiliar with the recovery menu/ workings, and I've been messing with roms, themes, and kernals ever since i had a hero when it first came out. But i just cant for the life of me get this thing to boot. I have same setup as you, and tried wiping all and re-flashing a couple of times, tried a fresh download. Nothing works. Furthest I got was about a 10 minute hang on the samsung splash screen. Then I just manually rebooted. Tried a dalvik wipe then boot again and then I was boot-looping lol. I've never failed at getting something to work in the past and I certainly won't let this glorious day of days be my first! Haha.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Im sorry to bother with this, its probably been asked many times, but after navigating through hundreds of pages I find myself even more lost than when I started. I installed Mimicry 1.5.0 rom a while ago after reading that it overclocks to 1.2ghz on boot thinking I wouldnt need any other tweaking for playing games but recently I've installed a few that dont work any well, like Frozen Synapse, Real Racing 2 and emulator Mupen64.
Could anybody tell me if there is any way I can increase gaming experience with this rom and how? For now the only thing I've done is install SDBooster which Im not even sure its helping. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I've tried changing th clock to 1.5 in the performance settings of Mimicry's rom but when I try to play a game it freezes completely and I have to remove the battery to restart the phone. I'll try that app to see is it runs more stable and I'll post the result later.

Did you enable v6 supercharger? I found that to lagg the vision
I dont know how you enable or disable V6 supercharger, where is the option?
I've been testing tha No-Frills CPU Control and works a little better at 1.5 but still not good enough.
I also wanted to ask about the Memory management options, should I use zRam and enable "Allow purging of aasets" and "Kernel samepage merging"?
With mimicry its an option in the aroma install
Then Im pretty sure I chose it, probably because I read it worked great. Is there anyway to change it without having to reinstall the rom?
To disable androcharger (blk_jacks modded supercharger) just flash the aroma installer and choose to disable androcharger, this won't reflash the ROM unless you tell it to do so, just replaces the patched services.jar.
Or if you prefer you can manually replace it as well, just unzip the ROM and find the stock services.jar, boot to recovery and use adb to push it, then fix permissions and your good

That was just a discussion thread... and now some people think that just because it can run on 512MB RAM they can install it on their phones straight away... If kitkat ever comes to the Arc/S it will take a while for it to become stable enough for daily use. Also, the drivers we use are old since there have been no updates. If you guys want kitkat running successfully on this device, these old drivers need to be integrated with the new software, which is very tedious. Mike is already going to drown under 4.2 and 4.3, adding another OS to the pile will place him under more stress.
Don't assume the work we developers do is simple, just because an update came out that meets the system specifications means it can run just by downloading and installing it in recovery. If you ever tried to create a ROM by yourself, you'll find out that a lot of work needs to be done, along with many user complains and flooding your development thread with useless posts. That's how messed up the user community is nowadays. Jader's UHD ROM thread is one example of how users interact with the developer.

I never declared that it will be a fact, but you have to admit that the 512 MB its a nice hope.

Yes, it's possible to port Android 4.4 for our device but it all really depends on if there will be any developer / developers who want to spend their time porting 4.4 for our device. Mike have started working on it for our devices, but we will see when or if he releases it or not.
I might see if I'm able to sync the sources, but the main problem on my end is that my PC is really bad and not suited for development.

Just as a suggestion, I'm currently using VanirAOSP and it's pretty good. All I've to say is that right now one should get the vanir_anzu_4.4.2.012814 version, as the latest, vanir_anzu_4.4.2.022314, has a few additional bugs. On the mentioned good version WiFi works, everything is fairly smooth and you're left with enough space to actually install the apps you want, which seems to be an issue on many roms due to Arc's small internal memory.. Only real problem's the default browser lagging terribly, but I hear that's a general issue? Anyway, for anyone interested in kitkat on Arc it's definitely worth checking out.

Tried it. Really cool ROM, some minor bugs but its OK
KitKat 4.4.2 AOKP and ART-runtime enabled
It is very well possible to use KitKat 4.4.2 on our phones. Even with ART-runtime enabled. I personally use AOKP (Android Open Kang Project)'s KitKat version, and I managed to get ART-runtime enabled and running very fast and smooth.
You can find the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624761
Of course you have to first install the kernel, which is given in the zip-file. Just unzip the kernel and Flashboot it to your device. Then go into CWM-recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and activate USB-mount. Locate the full AOKP-zip and place it on your SD-Card, as wel as the minimal Gapps for 4.4.2., found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857. Unmount the USB, and install the zip as usual through the menu for it. Then, after installing AOKP, install the minimal Gapps.
Reboot and let your device sit for a while, or play around with it a bit....
I proceeded with installing Mounts2SD from playstore, while before having prepared my class10 8 Gb sdcard into two partitions. One partition FAT32, size about 6Gb and one partition EXT2 size around 2 Gb. Move everything to SD-card through the menu of Mounts2sd, except Dalvik-cache. NEVER MOVE THIS!!! (Don't move dalvik-cache to SD...)
Reboot at least two times to let the script (Mounts2sd) settle in... After this I installed Pimp-my-Rom from playstore and activated the nav-bar and some other scripts to improve the experience. Also I odexed (after finishing all my modifications) the phone through this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527732
I then went to CWM-recovery through a reboot and made a full backup, which I advice you to do also, in case something goes horribly wrong.
Reboot to AOKP. As you can see, this ROM is awesome-fast beyond belief already. I had benchmarks in AnTuTu of around 6000, with NoFrills-CPU at 1401 Mhz. But, it can be faster if you choose to run ART-runtime instead of Dalvik. Be sure to remove all unwanted programs before switching to ART-runtime, because it'll take a lot of space in cache, and every program you don't need (system-programs that is) will reserve more space for ART.
Only and ONLY if your system is running smoothly on Dalvik, I advise you to go to your Phone-settings, (under Settings of course) and tap on 'Build-number' like 10 times. You will now become a developer. An extra menu will appear under Settings, where you can choose to run the ART-runtime library. Choose this and you will reboot.
Wait, wait and wait a long time for reboot. After initial booting everything has to be updated to ART-compiled apps. This will take a long time per app. Just wait and don't disturb your phone. If you get to the phone after booting, then you probably succeeded... You can check under the same settings-tab under Developer-options. If ART is selected, then you have it.
I strongly advice in case of mishaps regarding loss of network etc. to just reboot. Wait, wait and eventually you'll get there. Make a backup as soon as you have a stable working system under CWM-recovery.
I have been running stable ART under this AOKP-rom for about two weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Not only is the phone lightning-fast (6417 under AnTuTu, with CPU on my Arc LT15i on 1401 Mhz), but smooth as hell! Batterytime is amazing. This is as fast as it's gonna get! (I must have tried almost every ROM out there from stock 4.0.1 to 4.4.2...)
Hope you'll try and may it work for you too...!
(BTW my ultimate thanks to the guys from Open Kang Project!)
P.S. stock-browser is lagging... as usual under 4.4, but I use Dolphin and it is fast! Some toggles require reboot to function again. Some programs might fail you due to not being ready for ART. Facebook is a mess for instance, sometimes quitting unresponsice etc. Otherwise I have encountered no problems whatsoever.
Tried ION kernel and stuff and I can say that apart of one or two really minor bug the KK experience is just awesome and will be better within some months i suggest you to follow all the "Xperia Overlay" thing a I hope it gonna be amazing:laugh:
I know that such threads aren't welcomed, but friend of mine just brought me stock 2.3.6 Galaxy W whining that it's so slow. Since I've never flashed I8500 yet, I have absolutely no idea which ROM and kernel should I pick. Idea is to get maximum performance and stability as possible. Could you please help me with recommendation? Thanks

stock rom is still the best.
always row back to stock after tried out those new roms.
u need to know w i8150 hw limits, even with swap n zram, still wont let u play ram hungry apps/games.
i have done my own script n add a few to boost performance/battery saving (no enhancement apps).

Thats simply based on your personal needs I clearly won't use it anymore, if i had to use stock rom. For me a slimmed 4.4.2 works pretty well

yes, is my personal choice after all i did tried out all those custom roms n still row back to stock rom.
tried 4.4.2, no 3G, no over-the air radio, does not wait up when i plugin my headset, very hot when play games......etc,etc,
back to stock rom with some tweaks, faster n cool (never hot up), run with no bugs, never once fc (force close).

Thats just what i would say about my phone, too Stable, fast, ui that doesn't hurt my eyes badly (That's really important to me!), not noticed any f/c or (random) reboots yet, temperature is good during use. Of course mobile network works. I feel happy using it
To be fair i have to add that DarkCM 03/19 was first release without issues noticeable for me. All other versions had AT LEAST one bug: ProCapture camera didn't work as it should. May be i find issues while using it. we'll see
I used OneOfAKind Rom now, pretty stable but some apps are just slow and eat a lot of ram. I blamed the apps, not the ROM. You should try it.
I know Stock is great but I upgraded mine because some apps doesn't work on Gingerbread.

luv to share but .......many (cyberbullies) here didnt want it, want latest fads.
GB is old n past just like XP (eol), which to me is the best OS. :angel:
use at ur own risk.
requirements:
basic knowledge
rooted phone
init.d support
(if unsure wat to do, search n u will get ur answers).
i only use these two on stock rom, no other enhancements or tweaks.
attached r two files zipped:
1) build.prop.GB.Addon - copy all texts n paste to end of line build.prop, if u have duplicate, just remove the sentences.
(mount read/write b4 edit if u cant edit).
2) VMscript140309 file is a script, u can use script manager if u want but i preferred to copy n paste to etc/init.d.
remember must set permission, chmod rwx,r_x,r_x n chown root,shell, else it wont work.
(mount read/write b4 paste if u cant paste).
edit 03/april:
deleted these lines from build.prop.addon file, becoz GB orig apps - music, gallery n video will not update with new add music, videos n pics.
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=true
media.stagefright.enable-record=true
Click to expand...

original lines in GB build.prop has two portions:
top portion is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
Click to expand...

further down is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=false
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i'm using this bottom portion, becoz the last entries will be log-in, replacing the first entries.
another concern is the read ahead for the rams/cards, it seem to speed up but when i tried use clockworkmod backup, the md5 is mismatched. backup is useless, if u have this problem, remove those read ahead sentences.

most games with installation files below 100mb runs good, board games will just fly thru.
those power n ram hungry games, i dun recommend play games with installation file above 100mb (hw limitations).
candy crush sage is quite power n ram hungry even its installation file is below 100mb, it runs without problem.
edit:
i played magic mania for more than an hour on GB, generated less heat than when i played candy crush saga on KitKat for less than 10 mins. :silly:
I'm looking at flashing my W too. It has GB still, but I modded it by CWM recovery, root and debrand plus stripped out un-needed bloat. What I want to do with it is flash it to possibly JB and run VIPERaudioFX and either Poweramp or Neutron audio player and mostly keep it as a smart music player for my car. I run a modded quad core phone as my main device now because it is a great multitasker and has a big screen for my failing eyes. The W is a nice, small size for a music front end though. So pocketable or fits nice in the centre console. I still have a thing about that phone despite it being old now. So, a modern and light OS is needed. Must be stable but it's not going to be a main phone. What are the recommendations?
If it's not practical, I will keep GB on it and see if I can slim it down further and if I can get a version of Viper that will work with it.
in general, i recommend stick with GB becoz its less buggy than the new android OS (ics/jb/kk).
if the app(s) cant run on GB, its becoz the app(s) need more RAM (hw limitations).
new OS have swap n zRAM which makes it laggy (in one way or the other).
I found it laggy on GB anyway. Removing Touchwiz and various Sammy apps after installing Legacy Launcher improved things. Also Smart Launcher2 Pro is nice. I'm actually running that one on my W200.
I was thinking getting rid of the Samsung account and extra software plus Keis etc would help things. strip out as much as possible without breaking it, do CWM backups before any major change, just in case.
I do know what you mean by the RAM, despite newer ROMs running well, they do need a lot of RAM. Minimal widgets, only the Gmail account etc will help.
I'll have a play with it. Mine is an i8150T, not an i8150, the Australian Vodafone version. Does the phone support 900MHz 3G in hardware? It's not accessible on my Vodafone ROM as they run 850MHz 3G. Maybe I could use a ROM meant for a different country. I did that with my Garmin Asus Nuvifone a50. Installed a Canadian ROM and got it working on 850 instead of the 900 it was supposed to be on as it was an Optus phone originally.

For memory management, i trust it to NX engine tweak and sreeder in int.d folder, u can try it. dont forget too make bakcup firts, ( but you have to install int.d first), for facebook some times i got lag on it . but not often.
i've tried many roms n tweaks, GB is still the best (least bugs).
minimalist stock GB, ie. removed all samsung bloated apps, add my own tweaks and use black wallpaper. :good:

Dark CM is based on CM11 = KitKat.
KhaN is compatible with arco's BUT arco's doesn't support swap and also was kinda buggy for me. But Arco is really great as all builds are based on his work
Most reliable release yet for me was Mokee OS
Just flashed Dark CM........
Seems kinda strange (in a good way) to see those three little numbers.....

best is still rooted stock rom without samsung bloated widgets, add my own tweaks (with init.d support).
no fc, no bugs (compared to custom roms), longest battery operating life (if dun play power hungry game like candy crush).
normal usage, ie. phone, messaging, listen to music n radio, battery at 50% after 2 days 10hrs. :good:
play power-hungry games (candy crush sage), last 3~4hrs.
edit:
charging was due to transferring of video clips when usb was plugged, ti also charge the phone.
anyway, it still is far better than buggy custom roms, ie. i have to charge my phone every day.

share with ppl whom want it.
rooted stock rom with superuser, busybox, root explorer and init.d support (do a search in xda forum) or a script manager.
remove all tweaks or enhancement apps, no need any.
i find tat most dont work becoz they r directed at non-existence, non-changeable, non-rewriteable or non-virtualise parameters.
a placebo effect(s) if u believe their tweaks really works or it works on benchmarking but severely lagging in real life usage or at random, sometime good and sometime bad, unknown and uncertain.
i complied tweaks tat i find it works and re-direct parameters so it will work properly.
note: not for any other phone (not even gw custom roms), strictly for rooted stock rom gw only.
.
attached is rar (zipped two files), one is an add-on file for build,prop and a script file (these r not flash-able files).
unzip and copy to your phone sdcard.
add-on file, open build.prop.addon file, copy all texts and close.
open build.prop in /system and paste texts at the end of file, save file.
script file, either use init.d support, copy n paste script file to etc/init.d, change permission chown to root,shell
or use script manager to load at boot.
done, reboot.
note:
use it at your own risk, it's working great on my phone.
always do a nandroid backup, just in case u screw it up.
