Introducing Trickster MOD, bringing Trickster experience to virtually every ROM out there.
Users using Trickster ROM 1.2.1 or newer can use this MOD to update
This CWM zip include the binaries and scripts I used for optimization in Trickster ROM. What it can do/set:

- Some android properties tweaks with mobile network speed tweak
- Screen state optimization for kernel task scheduler and virtual memory management (ch33kybutt)
- Set I/O scheduler, read ahead buffer, CPU scaling governor, min and max CPU speed
Following features are dependent on kernel features:
- Color (applied by default), contrast and gamma tweaks
- Generic hotplug
- CPU Temp limit
- Minimal SmartReflex voltage of Core, IVA, and MPU domains
- Nominal SmartReflex voltage for Core, IVA, and MPU domains
- Regulator voltages
- GLaDOS live OC of Core, GPU and MPU
- WIFI mode for screen off (power saving or full speed)
- Vibrator strength
- Headset volume boost
- High performance sound
- Force fast charge
- Battery live extender
- Touch wake and touch wake duration

- Install zip from sdcard
- Reboot the phone
- If you see /sdcard/trickster directory with configuration files inside then this mod installed successfully
Usage:
By default Trickster color, some android property regarding UI smoothness and mobile data speed tweaks and screen state optimization are applied. If you want to change additional settings then either use the app or :
- Go to /sdcard/trickster directory, you'll see at most four following configuration files, depending on kernel features:
. color.conf: color related tweak
. general.conf: generic tweaks like zipalign, sqlite, and screenstate optimization
. kern_general.conf: generic kernel tweaks like CPU speed, governor, IO scheduler and readahead buffer
. kern_specific.conf: specific kernel features like sound control, WIFI power, fast charge... - Edit any above file to change the settings you want using app like ES Explorer, Root Explorer..., instructions included inside
- Settings are automatically applied when user saves any of these files
- Some changes require restarting your phone
- To check log to see if it works use "logcat|grep Trickster" from adb/terminal
Reinstall boot service, Reset settings, Removal instructions:
- If you install a new kernel that includes ramdisk (boot.img format like franco or leanKernel), you can either reinstall Trickster MOD, run "tricks install" from adb root shell or terminal, or apply this CWM zip from recovery.
- You can delete a configuration file, files, or entire /sdcard/trickster directory to reset to default settings for a file, files or all configuration respectively
- If you mess up and can't boot, say aggressive OC/UV , use this CWM zip to reset
- If you want to uninstall, use this CWM zip

Just wondering if the Trickster Rom is for the Nexus? If it is then where can we try it out, thanks.

So if I where to put this mod on an aosp rom it would be like the actual trickster rom?

Yes, nearly identical. The remaining mod is dalvik-cache in cache partition which free up space for your virtual sdcard. And the other is Zeppelinrox's supercharged services.jar for better multitasking.

The values in script are listed ad "binary". Is that what needs to be imputed to activate that particular mod? And the specific integer in those mods? Thnx in advanced r
wow! nice to see this,thanks for sharing

Binary as in 0 and 1 to disable and enable respectively. I thought that is obvious.
So if you want to enable feature named X just set X=1
New version in first post. Remove requirements for init.d and busybox and it has some tweaks to tricks script.
Does anyone know if this will work on paranoid android?
I heard someone flash it successfully. To be sure just do a nandroid before hand.
Question, does it work with rooted stock?
Thanks!
It's only requirements are root and CWM, the next version might not even need root (in private testing), so you can use it on your ROM, sure.
Thanks!
Ok I'm retarded or something... i can't figure this out. Anyways, this is my question... I flashed the zip with cwm, does that mean its working now? Or do I have to use the terminal stuff it said in the Usage section and if I do, how exactly do I do that?
Thanks!

I actually have the same question.
If you see directory /sdcard/trickster with file trickster.conf inside after installing through CWM, then it should work. To change settings modify trickster.conf, but you don't really need to if you don't want/need to change settings. The default is good enough in general.
New version released with some nice goodies. Read changelog.
Can someone teach me how to UV using System Tuner? Thanks much.
Hi,
Go to Votage page.
You can manually adjust each voltage for a fine setting.
Or/and use the "-25mV" tab at the bottom of the screen to lower all values in one click.
Start to do -100mV for each frequency and use a bit you phone to check if all is stable.
Then you can try to lower each voltage manually to save a little bit more of juce.
After all, when your phone is tested stable (boot and working well) on the Votage page, clic on Boot Settings tab and set "Re-apply CPU settings" to "On boot completed".
You're done.
PS : don't forget that you need a custome Kernel that allow the votage setting as Faux's Kernel for exemple.
Regards.
I installed ROM Toolbox but i'm really lost.My phone's a bit slow and i was wondering if tweaking ROM Toolbox could make it faster.What settings should i choose for min and max frequency in CPU Control and what governor and i/o scheduler is the best?Also what are the recommended settings in kernel tweaks?
Hi @ all
i am using the leankernel 8.0 on my gsm gnex(yakju), android 4.3;
my kernel settings are not held on the boot
i have tried Trickster mod and leantweaks (with this i have also tried to set the script throught the init. doctor, but on the reboot the freq. of cpu (and other things) don't remain
- i have a stock rom by google // JWR66V
Hi , I installed on my Arc S ,Fusion v5.5 and Miui v5 and after turning my phone shows me just a 1GHz processor , in the SetCPU also have only 1GHz , how to fix it? :<
Probably you installed the arc version
If the patch to "make it" arc s is not in the thread you can easily set it manually with setcpu to put it on 1.4 again. If i recall correctly, there are 2 or 3 lines in the buildprop about the clock speed (like 1000000 or 1400000) besides the "arc" or "arc s" version.
Or create an script and put it on system / initd
