Found this over on the T-Mobile Site.
I Take No Credit .. But I will Say Amazingly Enough It Does Seem To Work!
I did find that this settings he suggest seems to use less mem and does seem to run 10-20% faster.
I am not sure why .. but its seems that it does .. hope the settings do not have a adverse effect.
Only time will tell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may have noticed several issues after upgrading to the new T-mobile 6.5. ie... slow response, freezing, crashing, poor battery life, increased memory consumption.
I have made a few adjustments and no longer have any of these issues.
In fact for the last couple of days 6.5 is running better (faster) and the battery is lasting longer than before I did the upgrade.
I am not a trained professional. I do not work for Tmobile, HTC or Microsoft. Follow my advice at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage done to your handset. I suggest you check you memory usage now then again after all steps are completed. Mine went from the 70's - 80's to the 50's
Ok here it is:
1. Make sure you used the official upgrade released on 1/20/10. ( I used the leaked version first then the official release and I did find some differences) Please back up your Phone first!!
2. Download NETCFSetupv35
2a. Sync your phone to your computer
2b. Run NETCFSetupv35 on your computer. If given the option choose repair. Otherwise just install it and follow the prompts.
2c. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone.
3. Download Advanced Configuration Tool
3a. Transfer it from your computer to your sd card.
3b. On your phone use file explorer and navigate to your sd card.
3c. Find the file and double click it
3d. choose install to sd card.
3e. If given the option restart your phone. Otherwise Soft restart your phone again.
4. From the start menu choose advanced config.
4a. You will see a warning screen first. Move past it.
4b Press the + next to Power Management
4c. The first 7 options need to be enabled. ( SD memory, MMC memory, NAND memory,Sim memory,Async, PPTP, L2TP)
4d. One at a time select the item then at the bottom of the screen select enable. (via the drop down menu)
5. Select Done (Bottom left)
6. You will be given the option to restart. Select yes.
7. Enjoy your phone!!
* Advanced configuration Tool can be used to tweak many settings.
I dont suggest you change anything under performance.
I did and the system became unstable again. Changed them back and everything is fine.

This could be the answer to the problem that im having with my batter life... Check out my thread...

Has anyone else tried this??? Can it be verified to work?
Why install advanced config tool to the SD card?
Well .. I did not do that .. had it installed already :/
Still seemed to work ..

I would think it wouldn't matter where ACT was installed, that's why I thought that line was sort of odd. I didn't know if there was some advantage I didn't know about for installing it to SD.
Since it's a program you just run once and forget maybe he wants to keep his phone memory free? I dunno. Just thought that line was odd. I'll be trying it out myself here in a minute

It seems to be running pretty smooth right now but I just soft reset of course. No hickups using the slider, opening mail, or playing with the Album. Memory usage started in the upper 40's and is hovering at 52% right now. I'll give an update later after using through the day.
Since I already had CF3.5 and Advanced Config on my 6.1 (stock) rom, I went ahead and made the same changes listed above, just to see if it had any effect. It's booted up using a little less RAM than before (38% vs 45%...I'd long ago applied the 2 memory management cabs for the TP2)...and it seems to grow a lot slower too; I've got file explorer, IE, WMP, google maps, and windows marketplace all open and running now, and it's still only up to 51% used.
So, bottom line, it might be worth it for anyone still running 6.1 to give this a try as well...you know, assuming that I'm not the only one left here that isn't on 6.5 yet
Update- while closing all the apps I listed above one-by-one, I watched closely and it seemed that the memory is not only reclaimed much faster than before, but it seems like it's (slightly) larger quantities too.

I think so, but it's kinda hard to tell...Opera and Google Maps both seem to snap open a good bit quicker than before, and button-response etc is as quick as ever, if not quicker.
If you want to suggest a stress test (certain apps/conditions), I'll be happy to give it a shot and report back
After about what... 8-9 hours after my soft reset. With my phone I:
-Received 10 emails
-used Opera Mobile to check the Woot Off 6-7 times
-Looked at another 6 web pages for probably about half an hour of browsing
-Used Google Maps and latitute with GPS
-Beejive IM was on for about 2 hours conversing with 2 different people
-15 minutes of phone calls.
Memory is now at 62%. I'd say I'm ususally normally in the 70's and have probably soft reset at least once by now. I don't know if it's *faster* per sey but it seems to hesitate less now. I've gotta give a big thumbs up to this so far. Definitely uses less memory and less battery so far. My battery just ticked down to 50% and I'm normally in the 30-40's by now.
Anyone who's done this:
Were these power settings all disabled (according to Advanced Config) before you enabled them?
Maybe these settings are only an issue on stock roms. I'm running a custom (Valky) rom, and all of these -- except SD card -- already had Power Management enabled for them. Must be a free service included with custom roms...good ones, anyway

This morning, I compared the md5sum of the leaked and official versions and they are identical. Either you downloaded a different leaked version that I did or you are imagining those differences.

stock touch pro2 6.5 rom here. I've used the no push internet and 0 sharememsize resproxy thing and i can say that this tweak doesn't do much.
The ram at startup constantly stays at 43% after reboot and there doesnt seems to be any significant benefit on the performance. Dont know about the battery though, will playbaround with it and report back.
Stock 6.5 t-mobile rom .. all were disabled for me too.
However In My case .. seemed to make a good inprovment

Thanks for the feedback.
I've never used advanced Config besides instances like this where someone says "Change this setting to xxx".
I guess it's time to go through all of the config options to see if there are others that are listed as "reccomended"

Have you used these settings-tweaks tools? Both highly recommended.
"Rhodium Settings Tool"
"HD Tweak"
Rhodium Settings is probably better/easier overall...but HD Tweak does a few fixes that Rhodium doesn't.
Honestly, this stock rom is pretty ****ing good. I am actually able to disable 80% of the bloat nonsense, and its smooth as hell out of the box. It was able to connect to my old, obscure TV in two tries (took 20 seconds) and everything is amazing. You know what I hate the most? Not having adaway. Thats saying something. Good job HTC and verizon for not making another droid DNA stock rom disaster.
I'm enjoying the stock Rom also. It's snappy as hell. Quick question, what is the best way to disable the vzw bloat. Thanks.
A lot of people don't know about it, but if you go to Settings>Apps and then All Apps, you can click an app and there's an option to disable a lot of them, which as far as I can tell is basically like uninstalling them except the app is still on your phone. It doesn't run or show in the tray though. Really awesome feature, debloating a phone without root is sweet.

Do not forget to get access to the "Developer Options" menu in Settings. There are some really amazing options in there, such as Force GPU Rendering, Force 4x MSAA, control over the phone animations, and one of my personal favorites - "Background Process Limit"
To access the "Developer Options" go to Settings > About > Software > More > Build Number - Once you get to "Build Number" start tapping in-between to the two lines that contain the Build Number information. After a number of taps you will get a message saying you are x taps to becoming a developer, keep tapping until it tells you that you are a developer. Once you get the notification/popup saying you are a developer, head back to the main menu in settings and look right about "Software Update" and below "Backup & Reset" you should now have "Developer Options". Enjoy the added features.

I wouldn't mind not having root except I can't get helium to actually restore my backups. It says successful, but no game data is restored.
Yeah, and I definitely agree about the ads. God, I forgot how bad they can be.
What's wrong with the DNA stock ROM? Kids have unrooted stock DNA's and it seems fine when I have to fix or update something for them.

It was my old phone. Thankfully it came with the 1.15 rom instead of 2.04(before moonshine). The stock rom was bloated to all hell. Sense 4 was ugly and stupid, and the battery life was horrendous. When I put carbon on there, it was blazing fast and I got about 2+ days of battery life with 2+ hours of screen on time.

There is no reason to force msaa with the resolution so high and forcing gpu rendering will probably decrease your battery life for no performance gains.

Besides being annoyed by ads and not being able to disable certain stuff, I am annoyed at not being able to change my DPI. I had it lowered to 200 on my S3 and Note 2. I hate big, fat icons and want to be able to fit more stuff on the screen.
I would also really like to be able to install Cerberus and some other key root apps.
I'm really hoping this thing gets cracked soon so I can get back to Cyanogenmod.
Has anyone figured out how to get the wifi status notifcation out of the windowshade? I don't need to be constantly notified of my wifi status.

I'd love a widget which enabled me to toggle my hotspot on and off, but haven't found one that works with the AT&T variant for some reason. I've tried most of them off the Play store and when pressed they don't do anything. Has anyone found one that works?
My suggestion isn't a widget but a way to enable the hotspot toggle in the dropdown menu. Download an app called QuickPanel Manager from the Play Store. It's not free, but well worth the couple bucks. It enables toggles in the dropdown menu that have been disabled by the carriers. One little thing about the app, though (at least this is how it is on my phone)... after you get the settings they way you want, uninstall the app or the dropdown menu will revert back to original when the phone is rebooted. no idea why that happens. Hope this helps.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. I've tried other apps which integrated into the dropdown menu and none of them worked, so I'm crossing my fingers this one does!

I'm not running MM yet. I've been silently following all the feeds looking at results. I'm a little reluctant at this point just because I don't want to do it, then realize it might affect future updates. I'm on the verge of doing it though because it seems like things are going well. Trying to be patient.

I ran out of patience, lol. I put the MM floating around here on and it runs flawlessly. It's an official update from AT&T which is from a few days ago and doesn't trip Knox. I have a feeling it will integrate with updates with no issue, but that's just a guess.
I did try Quickpanel, it doesn't work with MM. It just crashes when you open it up.
I"ll keep it short, if you guys have more tips to improve on this please share.
I have been testing this for days on my wife stock v30 and mine. Both started the same with all bloware.
After doing this I actually get
-Better battery
-Less battery drain in standby
-Faster performance
-and MUCH SMOOTHER SCROLLING
It seems to be a few LG apps running in the backgroung that are causing the stutter and lag we have all experience,
some more than others.
Before doing this, go into different apps check speed and scrolling (Instagram, google home, gmail etc) so u can see the before and after.
READ THIS BEFORE DOING:
-LG KEYBOARD IS DISABLE, download a different keyboard (swipe, gboard) and have that already install in your device, if you already have then disregard this
-Also downloaded a different launcher if u are going to disable the stock launcher. I recommend using a different launcher other than the LG.
Let start.
1: Go into play store and download "LG package disabler"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lgpd.pmanager
I believe is $1.99 but well worth it for what u can actually do
The LG PACKAGE DISABLE is suppost to AUTOMATICALLY download thr plugin needed to have administrator right so u can disable apps. if it doesnt after installation. download it here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.weblib.mdm
2: BELOW I have attach pics of all apps i have disable. disable all or just the apps u which to disable.
NOTE: I disable Chrome (using Samsung internet beta) which support ad blocker (highly recommended) you can enable chrome in LG PD
3: go to developer option and enable "force gpu rendering"
after all this, Restart your phone. It should be faster and smoother.
Theres a few things you might want ENABLE (like the floating bar) which I have disable since I don't use it.
I did not include the 0.5X animation trick since I like my animation to be at 1.0X (personal choice)
Anyone else try this?

V30 is great for battery life even with no app disable. This is more about making the snappier. i do get 7 - 8 plus sot on every charge.
I've done this on other phones, so I know how, but when I import and set, the apps don't get disabled. I have to go through manually. Any idea why?
I've been using this since this morning including the XML file. Seems to be working great although I haven't been paying enough attention to know whether or not battery life has improved. At the very least it's worth it to know that I can get rid of all of the bloatware.

Exactly. Just have to be careful that you don't disable too much. You can accidentally disable things that seem like bloat, but somewhere deep in the system settings, another app/feature could be looking for it. I played that game for weeks getting the debloat of my V20 ROMs just right.
the app doesn't work for me for some reason. I run it, import the xml file, it says "107 packages disabled" or something like that, then reboot my phone, and check how many packages are disabled, and it says only 3. Whenever I import the xml file I never see it actually put a checkmark next to any packages to disable.
Any ideas what's going on? I've already uninstalled/reinstalled and it does the same thing. Do I manually need to give the app certain permissions?

I now went through the steps to make the app an owner app from adb, and I successfully was able to run the command (removed all my accounts, ran the command, re-added my accounts). Still, nothing actually disables.
OK, just tried this with Package Disabler (not the LG specific one) and it bricked my phone. I'm now stuck on the white T-Mobile screen and the phone won't load. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Who can rut tests on just freshly unboxed V30? So we could measure if we can get it faster

You are not bricked. Not from disabling packages. You will have to factory reset to get back up and running,
I wanted to start an informal thread here where anyone could discuss various little mods and tweaks that any of us might be playing around with on our V30s.
I'm not talking major things like flashing a rom or rooting or anything like that. We already have super talented people that helped to make all those things possible and there are 100+ page threads about some of them. (Big thanks to all of you serious developers!)
Consider this a discussion thread for the "Tinkerers" though more experienced actual development is of course welcomed.
Personally I am always playing around with my device just to see what I can get it to do, or access or change etc. I use apps like Preference Manager, and Shortcut Master to play around and discover the "hidden" stuff that you aren't supposed to get to, or at least not yet. Sometimes this gives me a sneak peak at some beta feature or adds a setting I didn't have, or a UI tweak etc.
I figure that a bunch of you probably do the same things and thought it would be cool to have a thread just to share those little one off things we discover that wouldn't normally warrant a whole post of it's own.
Maybe you want to share what substratum build is working well for you.
Or maybe you found a magisk module that wasn't built for the LG V30 but works great (Dialer and contacts for the one plus worked great on my device)
I'll kick us off with one little tweak I never see posts about.
Using Shortcut Master I have changed some of the LG Home App settings in order to have a modded home launcher. Basically I'm using some of the features LG chooses to keep hidden. Some pics of the menu are below. Minor changes but I've had the Google screen to the left of my home screen for a while now and I don't have to use Nova or something else to get it to work.
I've never really seen a post on what all of these check boxes do, so I've played around with all of them and can report that most are minor, and some will ruin your day, so Tinkerers beware if you decide to emulate.
Here's another example of the kind of stuff I mean. Does anyone actually know what High Lux Mode does? I've enabled and disabled and don't really notice a difference.
Maybe a thread like this will help shed a little light on something we can all use.
I want to share that anyone on rom without Qlen support can co to system/build.prop, find "lge.support.lglens=not-suppport" change it to support and reboot
Can you link to Shortcut Manager? The ones I see in play store don't look like your screenshots.

That's probably because those screenshots are from older versions of Android. Or he has some theme applied.
It looks like the screenshots where it's been talked about in other threads, especially the Shortcut Master Lite.
You can still download a copy of Shortcut Master (Lite) 1.2.4 from APKMirror. It disappeared from the Play Store about a month ago - I'm not sure of the reason.

Not positive and can't test for it because I don't yet have a V30, but I would guess this toggles the phone's ability to use fullbright/sunlight/etc mode.
Brightness is usually capped below 100% to increase panel longevity; this limit is bypassed with high enough light levels hitting the light sensor next to the call speaker. Last I heard you need VERY bright light with the V30, and the high threshold makes it flicker on and off a lot; this could give some people bothered by it a bit of relief.

Swap Torpedo (Magisk Module): It flushes your stupid stupid compressed ZRAM/Swap. All of your apps will load faster and smoother.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883
Reasoning: You don't need freaking swap on a phone with 2 GB or more. V30 has 4 GB RAM. Never run into any issues with this. Flash and forget.
fstrim (Magisk module): trims your phone when it has been idle for more than 5 minutes.
https://github.com/GreyLeshy/magisk-module-fstrim/releases
Reasoning: Right now your phone only trims when it has been idle for hours and is charging which is almost never. You will notice the difference. Things will write faster to storage. Read and write speeds are faster in general. It's a very simple script that you don't need to check for updates. Flash and forget.
RAM Manager (Magisk Module): Reduces app refreshing significantly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/ram-manager-magisk-t3816986
Reasoning: V30 has very aggressive memory management which works for most people but gives trouble for heavy multitasking. This is fixing the issue. Everything stays in memory until it's absolutely out of memory. Then it starts kicking things out. Flash and forget. Note: If you want to use this with Swap Torpedo you must install Swap Torpedo first, then RAM Manager.
None of these tweaks consume battery, in fact they save you battery. I used to tweak my previous phones a lot but after many tests I've realized that the V30 is incredibly optimized. No need for L Speed or Kernel Adiutor or any of that nonsense. Storage, CPU, GPU and battery performance are super optimized on this device. It even puts some flagship phones with SD 845 CPUs to shame. LG devs did an incredible job and pulling out ALL of the stops to make it run smooth. Read ahead is already at 4096 kb, no need to tweak! Storage is mounted relatime so it won't waste write and read. All partitions are already aligned perfectly. LG dedicated some space for overprovisioning so nothing to tweak there either. On a good day my UFS 2.1 storage read speed is more than 740 MB/s and write up to 300 MB/s. More than my SSDs in my computer. Incredible work by LG. Battery life is tweaked to the maximum as well and so is GPU driver performance. Do not touch those things especially build.prop. Every other tweak I have tried has introduced some issue somewhere else. This is a phone that you leave alone and be happy that the devs optimized it so well LG has people smarter than us working on these and who fully understand how the device works. The era of complex kernel tweaks and scripts is officially over.

Thanks for the tips on the other 2 but I just wanted to chime in on swap torpedo or getting rid of the swap on the V30. Doing this made a pretty big difference on my V20 but I noticed on my TMobile V30 that it actually was making me reload certain apps quite frequently. Now I didn't do very much testing with it but I noticed that when I got rid of swap if I had one of my more intensive 3D games running and I switched over to the camera or vice versa I would have to reload the app that was switched from. With stock swap settings I could switch back to the previous app (game or camera whichever) and it would still be open and ready.
Now take this with a grain of salt obviously because there are too many variables but I'm sharing my experience and so far mine has been better with stock swap settings on the H932 at least.
For those who don't frequent the Q&A section, @rollingstone321 figured out how to force quick-charging while the screen is on;
rollingstone321 said:
Ok after searching a long time I have found where lg did hide the charging restriction
Sys/module/lge_power_class_charging_controller
If you put the parameter for restricted_charging to LCD OFF you will get quick charge when also using the phone.
But Android changes this parameter back once the device goes to sleep. How can I make this parameter stay or even remove the module?

Septfox said:
Try setting it to read-only. I'm not sure if this will persist the setting after reboot, though. This might also have the unintended effect of forcing the charging restriction to happen while the screen is off, as "LCD OFF" suggests; have you tried seeing what happens if you blank the setting instead?

rollingstone321 said:
Leaving it blank freezes the phone, same with '0' or 'disable'. So LCD OFF is only option for now. But I rather have fast charge while I m using Waze in the car and be able to charge till 100% fast, and slow charging at night.
...
Seems like changing the parameter to LCD OFF and setting the file to only read did the trick.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As bolded, setting it to LCD OFF and making it read-only might make the phone slow-charge while the screen is off. Having something (Tasker, AutomateIt, etc) set it each time the screen is turned on is a better solution if you want all QC, all the time, since it'll reset itself on screen-off.
If someone wants to go digging in LG's kernel source to see what the valid parameters are, figure out the proper setting to just disable the limiter and set it to read-only, that'd of course be best.
I went digging myself using Lunar kernel, and it seems this is read and limit set based on it, not the condition under which the restriction is imposed as I first thought.
---
Keep in mind that fast-charging alone creates quite some heat, and doing it while running the SoC under load will increase the rate that your battery ages. It's hard to say how much, since there are so many contributing factors to battery wear, but one thing is true regardless: li-ion batteries don't particularly like heat. Charge responsibly!

No I can confirm what you are saying. There is more reloading because LG optimized the V30 so perfectly. You really don't need the tweaks tbh. But that is why I use Swap Torpedo in conjunction with RAM Manager. I would even argue there is not enough of a benefit that people would notice anyway but for me things like Nova Launcher run slightly smoother. It might even just be placebo and there is no tangible difference. Either way V30 is so well optimized out of the box, I personally believe it's a waste of time and resources to use tweaks even if I use them. :good:

Isn't this actually bad though? You don't want fstrim triggering 24/7? I know on an SSD that counts as writes and you only get a certain amount until you kill the lifespan.

RAM Torpedo is actually good. Just look for yourself. Screenshot of before and after.

Ok using torpedo swap, it's actually horrible for multitasking. I'll have only 1 app open, ( line chat) open chrome for a link, copy and go back to line chat and it wants to reload.
Total crap. Never had an issue till this mod. It's also the only mod I've ran.
