Android v6 supercharger script

Anyone try this on an epic yet? I don't feel like testing it first as I am waiting for a phone call (staples please hire me)

Looks cool though

Looks interesting and I am reading the thread now.

I am a crash test dummy. I will try it out now...

Ok, I am running them now. Let me do some testing and report back. I do notice that things do seem to reopen faster after you open them the first time like G-Talk,messaging,browser,etc but let me mess with it some more. I still have to charge battery and re-calibrate my battery..EDIT..I want someone else to try this out to see if things feel faster to them like they do for me. Almost instantly when you press them.

Xopher, just shot you a "thanks" for the find. Seems to be very impressive so far...looking to see if there are negatives. Also, waiting for some people wiser than I am to try these out and see if they negatively effect any baked in goodies

Thanks yeah it looks very convincing from the thread, gonna apply the script tonight as well and report my findings tomorrow.

No bugs here. I have tried it on 2 Froyo ROMs now. You have to remember to back out of apps or use task manager because it will keep them open. Great for Multitasking and such. I have no side effects to report. Make sure to calibrate the battery.

I believe he said that its not ready for Gingerbread. There are a lot of changes to be made to the scripts before it will work. This is for Froyo

I just finished installing this script - it's the real deal. From what I could gather, it passively optimizes memory management by changing when different priority tasks get killed, which optimizes how much free memory you have.
For us Epic users, I found that using custom settings works the best. Since the Epic has 384 MB RAM and the scripts were designed for 256 MB phones, I chose memory values in between "aggressive" and "megaram 512mb". Apps used to have a small delay before they drew - completely gone. This is also a much more efficient and logical "task killer".
The settings I found worked the best were 6,10,30,45,60,75.
It's very noticeable, even running SyndicateROM 1.2/Genocide 2 @1.2GHz.

Thanks for that thorough review. I noticed the exact same thing. I am going to try your settings in the morning to see if its even better than it feels now

Im on EG22 and im running option 9 right now...... I really noticed a difference...... I wonder if someone could implement these scripts into a kernel for our epics

FYI... If an alternative would be to use Galaxy Tuner > Memory Manager > Application cache and plug in those values EnervinE was kind enough to provide to us all.

That would be true if the SuperCharger script was just another lowmemorykiller/minfree tweaker.
FYI: Which it isn't

Aah, you are here! Which setting do you recommend for the Epic? I have been using #9 and 11. Also is running the KickAssKernel and the 3G TurboCharger scripts with V6 recommended by you? I thought I read that you said yes in your thread

btw, it runs great on gingerbread.
In case of errors, try a lower busybox version.
As I said in the PM, it depends on which point the phone gets laggy.
If it's laggy at 50mb free ram, set slot 3 to 50 mb so that you won't have less than that.
For slots 4, 5, and 6, it really depends on how much multitasking you want or don't want.

CWR backups my rom in less than 5 minutes. This normal?

My tbolt took like 15-20 minutes. Is this normal on a INC 2?

It's normal for me, also about the same on my og dinc.

All depends on how much info there is to back up. A freshly flashed rom with little downloaded and cached will require less time to backup to your sd card.

Good point was just about to address this before I saw your post. It also has to do with the amount of RAM for the ROM booting up it seems. On the Inc1, I noticed first boot took around the said 10 minute mark, but with the inc2 I've had fresh installed ROMs pop up in less than 5. This phone is great rooted.

I love it. If you're going to say I'm spouting crap, how about you defend yourself and explain to me and rest of us how it doesn't make sense instead of being a brat? That's the point of XDA to spread and share. Not to be an ass an demeanor someone.

Alot of people make the mistake of thinking used memory is a bad thing, this is untrue on the android platform, the more ram being used the better performance you are getting due to the fact android OS knows how to close down applications itself when in need. This is also the reason why app-killer apps are bad not good for your phone. Think about it, ram is kind of like your phones short term memory, it you free that up then it will take longer for it to open processes. Be lucky you are using an AOSP rom, sense roms usually only have about 100 to 150mb of ram free because of all the things senseUI requires. The amount of ram you have free is normal. Unless you get down to like 20mb of ram there is no reason to be concerned whatsoever. If ram wasn't meant to be used then why would they be progressively increasing the amount of it in each new device released?
P.S. with the sound of your concern i can only assume you are coming from a blackberry device prior to your current android.

You are wrong,before my inc2. I had inc1,and before inc1 i had an env2.lol....but i dont now much about android system.

Hey man, it's all good. I just made that assumption because i have lots of friends that came from blackberry, I did myself and anyone that has ran one of those devices knows that you have to constantly watch your ram. Was just trying to give you some info so you don't know not to worry about ram consumption on the android platform.

Ok,bro i just want to learn more about this system.

ZRAM??? What is it and what are the side effects of using it?

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded to CM9 FXP128 and there are some features in the Performance tab of settings, that i dont understand.
First of all what is zRam? and what are the side effects of using it?
There are also two other features (Allow purging of assets, Kernel samepage merging). SHould i use them? Are they useful? What are the side effects?
Thanks a lot

Why dont you look it up on http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ or search around on xda, anyways never heard of it but im currently using CM7.2
there are really no side effects, unless you do something bad

If I remember correctly its compressed ram, but like stated above go look at the websites and SEARCH

Yeah I've googled it about 100 times, lol, and because i am a noob, they all dont make sense. I've also looked on XDA, and can't find anything i understand. :crying::crying::crying:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZRam
There you go, compressed swap inside ram, essentially you get more ram....

So I'm assuming there are no side-effects, ITS ALL GOOD!!!

your memory card will die faster :| thats the bad side effect...

But when you say faster, will it die within 2 - 3 years, or longer like 7-8 years? I'm using 18% compressed so yeah.

Flash only has so many read and writes before they start dying, it'll still probably last you like 2 year's

2.17 Issues

Hi guys, couldn't find the answers I'm looking for so i thought I'd start a thread that everyone could post issues and fixes for the most recent update. If this should be in Q & A feel free to move it.
So I got my update last week from Vodafone Australia and just noticed a couple of issue's that maybe the guys that have had the update for a month now can help with.
Basically first thing is there is less free ram, I used to have about 400mb free most of the time now its down to about 300mb.
Now this is only an issue to me as I think it affects my real problem.
The internet has become next to useless to me and it's what I use my phone for 75% of the time. Basically if I try to do anything else the page has to reload, if its fully loaded or just half loaded as soon as I take it off the screen it has to load again.
This isn't just a multitasking issue as it also happens if I switch between tabs, the one in the background always has to reload and I think this is due to not having enough ram to do anymore than have one web page open.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue and know a fix?
My phone is 100% stock btw.
Thanks for the help.

For me, Youtube video stutters after updating to 2.17. It's not a network issue. Even offline (watch later) videos stutter.

No issues whatsoever. My One X flys. Even have much better battery life than before 2.17 update. Try factory reset.
And free RAM is wasted RAM in Linux.

Well yes but if there's more ram available then there's more headroom for multitasking and in theory apps are less likely to be closed.

But big Internet page doesn't take 300mb of ram. I doubt that much more than 1mb. And browser maybe 30mb. Correct me if I'm wrong but 300 mb is plenty of ram for browsing.
Update: HTC browser 80mb right now with 3tabs open: engadget, phandroid and siol site.
