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

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.
I just installed Andromadus Mimicry 1.1.1 that comes with Supercharger preconfigured.
Deciding to tweak the settings further, I installed the newest Supercharger script (Update 9 RC9) and everything seems to go fine except that my minfree values do not stick.
Tried to update the services.jar but the scripts ICS service center and the Webapp at http://android.mimic.ca/ both indicate that my services.jar is already supercharged and applied.
Am I not suppose to fool around with the Mimicry Supercharger settings? Or is there something I'm missing? Another user commented on checking my settings within the ROM CONTROL settings but I do not believe this rom has that feature.
Any advice?

The webapp is actually created by me (as is Mimicry). That said, when you install the V6 Supercharger mod within Aroma on Mimicry it will copy over the patched services.jar, so that part is accurate. The newest version of the script has no added effect in terms of minfrees/oom groupings. It's the exact same as it has been for months now, so upgrading versions of the script doesn't matter so much.
If you want to run V6 Supercharger manually, do not select the V6 Supercharger option when you install the ROM, but as I said, there's no point really.

Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to run the script manually to make sure Nitro Lag Nullifier was running as well as possibly try to bulletproof some apps. I had to re-run Aroma and uninstall the preconfigured Andromadus script and ran it manually.
But if you say there's no point to this (for our phone?) then I'll take your word for it.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Beware of Nitro Lag Nullifier on ICS.. When I tested it last it seemed to negatively affect performance!
When enabling V6 Supercharger on Mimicry it actually creates a file to run on boot that's identical to the one the V6 Supercharger script creates. The difference is that you don't have to install Script Manager or patch services.jar or re-run anything everytime you flash a new version of the ROM.
Hope that helps clarify

I am looking for scripts to speed up my phone. I don't want to wipe it clean, just looking for some scripts to speed it up. Most I am interested in is to speed up general phone usage and internet browsing. My rom is [ROM][MIUI-XJ] Mar 31 - 2.3.30 GB 2.3.7 EN-MULT+OTA+CM+Updater|D2EXT X-PART|A2SD+|D2W
Try supercharger v6. I've tried it and I honestly didn't notice any difference in speed, but some people have.
Also check out the app called greenify. It hibernates apps and stops them from running in the background and frees up more ram.

Thank you so much
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
