[HOWTO] renice live wallpapers to speed up UI

This is quite a simple howto and I don't even know if it's appropriate to post it here instead on legend general. I post here as it requires root privileges, if someone think this is the wrong section for it just ask a mod to move it somewhere else
This (quite simple) howto is intended if you are experiencing lags or slowdowns with live wallpapers, and it's working very well for me. I think most of you can do this without an howto but I hope someone less experienced in messing with terminal will find it useful I just try to help.
Will work better if you disable the wallpaper scrolling in the launcher's properties. The thread is titled 'renice live wallpapers' but I found it works better to renice the launcher. However you can try both
I would like to thank BlaY0 for the help.
you'll need:
- root privileges
- a terminal emulator
- live wallpapers
- GScript
what you have to do is:
- download GScript from market (lite or paid version, works with both)
- launch it, then press Menu/Add script
- give it a name, be sure to check 'Needs SU', then type this in the text field below
renice -15 `pgrep android.process.acore'
where android.process.acore is the LauncherPro process name. If you're using another launcher you have to do a google search and find its
process name
- now save, and try executing it and see if it works
- add a shortcut to GScript on your home which launches the script. With this approach you have to launch it after every reboot
Maybe you want to try to renice the live wallpaper too (this may slow it down, I would not suggest to do it). To do this
- launch the terminal
- write 'ps' then press enter
- will appear a list of processes. here you should find one that has a name similar to the LWP you're using (for example, I'm using Pixel Zombies Infection and the process name is haydenTheAndroid.liveWallpaper.pixelZombies)
now you can renice it either from terminal or from GScript.
To renice from terminal:
- check the number *** which the process has in the PID row. You have to remember this number
- write 'su' then press enter. now you have root privileges
- write 'renice N ***' where N is the nice number you want (20=minimum priority ; -20=maximum priority, which you obviously don't want). You can set it to 20 to give the LWP the minimum priority
To renice from GScript go in the script you already created and add a similar line, by substituting "-15" with "20" and the process name with your LWP's process name.
You should now see an increased smoothness when scrolling homescreens and app drawer

wow will try...............

Just tried it out with the Light Grid LWP (com.joko.lightgrid) and ADW Launcher. All I can say is that this feeling is so smooth, it is like an angel pissed on my Legend just now
PS: I used adb instead of terminal emulator.

LOL this is pure poetry
Sent from my Legend using Tapatalk

Hi , i tried this and it really works!
But it is at the cost of the smoothness of the LWP i guess our puny 600mhz processor aint up to speed to handle LWP properly T^T

I oupdated with a script that does the procedure automatically but I'm encountering some issues with its permissions... no time to think about it now, will try again later

Hey, I'm the dev for Light Grid. Just wondering about performance issues - did you try the Battery Life slider in the Performance settings? That should lower the amount of time Light Grid spends taking up the CPU, which should help 'lag' issues.

Will this setting keep after a reboot?

Of course not...
You would need a script that would do that on every reboot.

I just tried your suggestion (overlooked it somehow ^^").
The LWP is indeed faster/smoother when maxed on 100fps, result? Terrible, terrible lag in the drawer. Also tried 15fps and no joy, the launcher is still suffering by it when opening the drawer (unless renice'd ofc ).
offtopic: My guess is that the lwp's are getting a little too high priority by default that actually make the launchers lag on a phone like this. Maybe even a rom setting?

I made a script but I don't know how to autorun it at boot. Unfortunately I'm very very noob
Sent from my Legend using Tapatalk

There are several possibilities:
find some app on market that does that
use GScript to run the script manually on every reboot
use run-parts approach through init.rc
run the script directly from init.rc
...there are some more.

until I figure out how to autostart the script at boot I updated the howto including GScript. thanks

I have written something about run-parts a while ago into dsixda's Kitchen thread in Chef Central subforum...

can anyone post the script?

Had not time to think about it but you can use it with GScript which is quite simple
Sent from my Legend using Tapatalk

I'd like to try this in form of SL4A script in order to use my already-running Tasker rather than gScript.
Do you guys have some hint for me to do this ?

rubiX Focused 2.0: Raising the Bar Another Notch!

Check out the review by Blair at GizmoNinja! Droid X ROM Review, rubiX ROMs! Updated 12/26/2010 NEW rubiX ROM 1.9.5 Release!!
YOU MUST BE ON 2.3.340 OTA FOR THIS TO WORK
ALSO NOTE: IF YOU INSTALLED THE NEW TRANQUILITY, THE TOOLBOX WILL INSTALL UNLESS YOU SBF BEFORE INSTALL. THIS IS TRUE FOR ANY ROM, NOT JUST RUBIX.
IF YOU USED THE NEW SCRIPT, YOU MUST REBOOT AFTER INSTALL AND INITIAL SETUP
This script runs on first boot to scan the SDCard rubiX Folder for apps. If they are there, it copies them to /data/app and corrects their permissions. Reboot for this to take effect.
YOU MUST wipe data before install.
Change Log for 2.0:
* Sysctl.conf adjustments:
Changed vm.dirty_background_ratio to 70 from 60
* Added rm /dev/log/main for extra performance/free memory
* Changed NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS to NO_FAIR_SLEEPERS; this was a typo, as there are no new fair sleepers in the dx kernel already.
* Cleaned up the /system/app folder
The following market apps were further removed:
Talkback
Kickback
Soundback
* Added new Interactive and Conservative kernel scaling governors (credit Milestone team)
This is a Droid X first. These two governors bring a big difference to the table; here is what they do:
(Credit Cyanogenmod GITHub for this, source is here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-k...60f39120/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt)
Interactive:
Advantages:
+ significantly more responsive to ramp cpu up when required (UI interaction)
+ more consistent ramping, existing governors do their cpu load sampling in a workqueue context, the 'interactive' governor does this in a timer context, which gives more consistent cpu load sampling.
+ higher priority for cpu frequency increase, rt_workqueue is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the cpu performance benefit, unlike existing governors which schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have completed.
Conservative:
The CPUfreq governor "conservative", much like the "ondemand"
governor, sets the CPU depending on the current usage. It differs in
behaviour in that it gracefully increases and decreases the CPU speed
rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the
CPU. This behaviour more suitable in a battery powered environment.
The governor is tweaked in the same manner as the "ondemand" governor
through sysfs with the addition of:
freq_step: this describes what percentage steps the cpu freq should be
increased and decreased smoothly by. By default the cpu frequency will
increase in 5% chunks of your maximum cpu frequency. You can change this
value to anywhere between 0 and 100 where '0' will effectively lock your
CPU at a speed regardless of its load whilst '100' will, in theory, make
it behave identically to the "ondemand" governor.
down_threshold: same as the 'up_threshold' found for the "ondemand"
governor but for the opposite direction. For example when set to its
default value of '20' it means that if the CPU usage needs to be below
20% between samples to have the frequency decreased.
Basically, this means more speed and battery life control
* Adjusted 01cpu for a better sampling rate if the new conservative governor is found.
* Added script: gov
gov allows you to control which governor you use; ondemand, conservative, or interactive. The function is:
gov -ondem for the ondemand governor
gov -cons for the conservative governor
gov -inter for the interactive governor
Alternately, these can be changed via SetCPU or Droid Overclock.

Yes it's really rubiX Focused 1.9.7

will the themes for 1.95 work on this rom (black jiuce)?

Will this work for the droid 2 ? Since the
Old rubix was said to be working for the droid 2..

Just wanted to say the clock-speed/voltage optimization app is amazing. I get better battery life on RubiX than on any other ROM (and I have tried them all).
This is faster than liberty was for me. Glad I came back to RubiX.

Is there a zip to remove animation and put it back to stock. This is rom is so fast that I hit the quadrant score of 1500 without overclocking. Thxs for a great rom. I tried them all.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I am going to install this rom tonight. I currently have liberty installed and am happy with it and not having any trouble but unless I try other ones I won't know if I like any others better. I would like to see better battery life and it sounds like I might see it with this rom.

I was able to permanently get rid of the TranQ Toolbox without SBF. Basically, you just need Root Explorer (or equivalent) to remove all the TranQ files from /data, /data/data, /data/dalvik-cache, /data/preinstall_md5, /preinstall/app, /preinstall/md5, etc. The easiest way is to do a search (at /) in Root Explorer for tranq, and then manually remove them.

Does anybody know how to enable 3 d gallery through terminal emulator. Everytime I try to enable it, it tells me not found. Yes I give it SU permission. It gives me the options either 3d or 2d. I type 3d hit enter, then it tells me not found.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Never mind I figured it out.

I'm having problems with images showing up as black in any of the galleries or image viewers. Sometimes the thumbnails will display properly, though. In the camera app, if I take a picture and then look at the gallery, thumbnails of images on my sd card will show up, but only one for each picture I took. Pictures taken with the camera never show up. What is going on here and is there a way to fix it? I think rubix is great, otherwise, and would really like to continue using it if the camera and image problems can be fixed.

[MOD] IncrediControl - Easy control of voltages and kernel settings!

Please read this post through thoroughly before downloading.
This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.
! HTC DEVICES, currently only single core devices are supported !
! ROOT is Required !
! Kernel that supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment REQUIRED !
In addition, if you are an Incredikernel user, the app may also be used to toggle Incredikernel specific features on and off, namely USB fast charging and audio boost.
Get it over at http://www.incredikernel.com
IncrediControl is now also available in the market:
IncrediControl
IncrediControl - Ad Free
Additionally, all donators are eligible to receive the Ad Free version. It doesn't matter how much or how little you donate or have donated. If you don't want to purchase the app from the market, you may donate using the button on this page. Please register on the site first and include your username in the comments box.
All previous donators, please register on the site if you have not done so and contact me with your username!
NOTE: The settings in the general tab are only functional in kernels that have implemented the simple sysfs interfaces for usb fast charging and audio boost. If you toggle them, its not going to break anything, but they won't work and the app may crash. If you would like your kernel dev to implement the interfaces, please direct them to these two commits:
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/a7c21fa0391c225900f93960362535179c0cecc9
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/41dc138bae23dc7582de72a4d9895aaa8e1f8b2d
NOTE2: It is a requirement of the HAVS adjustment that the kernel you are using has the HAVS sysfs interface implemented. If it does not, it will not work. Most non-stock gingerbread kernels have the HAVS adjustment. Very few sense kernels have the adjustment. I believe ziggy's latest is the only one that does.
NOTE3: Before using, please delete any boot scripts you may have in /etc/init.d that toggle any of the settings this app controls.
Get it at http://www.incredikernel.com
Restore script - use this if you went too low and find yourself in a boot loop. Flash through recovery:
http://www.incredikernel.com/?p=229

This excites me.

Neat

I concur. And will this work on the incredikernel?
J/k on the the question part (because I know someone will take that seriously ). Great work, chad.

Chad, here's something to ponder or consider. Please think about putting in some way to back-up your settings. That way when flashing new roms you could just restore from back rather than settings all again. Just a thought.

Great thanks!
I know viperboy was working on something similar.
I have to say though your aggressive undervolt package is the tits. It is rock solid for me, and I can't lower anything -25v from there without crashing.

@everyone: Anyone try it on other devices that have havs + sysfs interface? Evo, desire?

effing sweet..... no more term emulator for me

Chad, I've noticed that after I reboot the phone and go back into the app, the boxes for "set on boot" are unticked.
Also I know you already know this but it's sort of a pain in the ass to set the SD card speed (your other app) after every boot, so if you could do a "set on boot" for that one too that'd be awesome.
Keep up the good work, I like how every time I check back here you have a bunch of updates

I've noticed after installing a new nightly with no wipes, the values revert to stock, even with set on boot.

The boxes are unticked on purpose, so that the file is only written when you specify that you want to set the current settings on boot. The other option is to have it ticked when the boot script is found, but then you would have to untick it when you want to just play with voltages (but not change your boot script) and then tick it again to set on boot. Would everyone prefer it that way?
I should also specify that when you tick set on boot, you also must click set in order to truly set it on boot. There is also the option to have it write the file when set on boot is ticked. I just need to know what everyone's preference is.
SDspeed might be added to a future release and would have the set on boot option.

That's because new nightlies overwrite the /system folder where the boot script is stored. I'll probably add a backup option too so you can load the defaults, either that or change over to storing the values in a database and loading them via the app on boot as opposed to the boot script.

Looks cool.

Backup database - yes!
Default set on boot once it's been ticked - yes!
Thanks for this, Chad!

READ THIS: READ BEFORE YOU ASK and HELP TO KEEP THIS THREAD MORE CLEAN! BUT ALSO BETTER ASK ONCE MORE BEFORE YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE! If you find something missing in this OP/FAQ, please PM me and I will add it. Thank you!
This is a custom kernel mostly based on Motorola's 3.0.8 Hybrid Kernel which was initiated first by the STS-Dev-Team (Hashcode, Dhacker).
I created this kernel for my main goal: BATTERY LIFE! Like many other custom kernels this one also supports several performance related features like OVERCLOCKING, UNDERVOLTUNG, GPU CONTROL, CPU OPTIONS, RAM TWEAKS, etc etc... But my main goal was not to bring up a kernel which is fast as hell - I want to bring up a kernel that is fast + a long lasting battery! Many custom kernels are also very fast but they don't save battery. JBX-Kernel is supposed to push your device to great speed while being on low power settings. I hope you enjoy it!
If you want to support me and my work just leave me a beer.

Support for Trickster Mod Kernel Control App (Download from Gplay)
*]Too much stuff to list here. See "Sources" below and check my Github
* HTC's Asynchronous Fsync and Dynamic Fsync:
Asynchronous fsync (called "afsync" or "async fsync") from HTC is ported into this kernel. By default it's enabled and dynamic fsync is disabled (and as well it isn't needed anymore). But just to test a little bit around to see which one of both features is the better one - for battery & performance. But currently Tricktser Mod doesn't support a toggle for afsync, so I had to find another way to use Trckster. Finally I did it like this:
The dynamic fsync toggle in Trickster Mod is now serving both functions - the dynamic fsync AND the asynchronous fsync! How? By default Dynamic Fsync is disabled, and Afsync is enabled. If you now enable Dynamic fsync using the toggle, Afsync will be automatically disabled, so both functions are not conflicting each other - and this way we have a working toggle for both of them.
CAUTION
This is a work in progress! Some of the current features are still not in final stat. If you are facing issues report back here and DON'T spam the threads of the rom you're using!
Be careful with some settings such like Voltage and Overclocking!!! If you aren't experienced with these things, dont play with 'em!

2. Issues
1.1 How can I change the smartreflex minimum/maximum voltage
What is Smartreflex?
SR is compareable with an CPU governor but not for scaling frequencies but for voltages. That means SR has a fixed range of voltage (min/max) and calculates the optimal voltage for each CPU frequency. In example on light use of the CPU it scales down to lower voltage - on heavy use it can sclae to higher voltage. This is an efficient system to save power! Compared to EMIF which uses the hardcoded voltages it saves more power because it's variable. EMIF cannot vary between the values.
This interface has a hardcoded range of 830mV min to 1450mV max. Usually there is no need to adjust these values but irt can be usefull in example when using high overclocked frequencies above 1,5ghz! Usually SR cannot handle frequencies above 1,5ghz and I have hardcoded the maximum range of 1,45mV which should allow SR to handle it. In prior times the users had to turn off SR when OCing above 1,5ghz which causes the CPU to eat more power. But you can try around and report your results.
CAUTION: Don't raise the maximum SR voltage too high! It can burn your board = no phone anymore! I recommend to not use higher values than 1490mV! As already mentioned: THe default value should be enough!
ANd also: USUALLY THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON SR! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!
Ok, now let's see how to do this:
Turn ON/OFF SR
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. You can toggle ON/OFF SR for each component (IVA, CORE, MPU)
Usually I recommend to keep SR ON because it saves power! But in some cases when overclocking the CPU (MPU) the device could freeze - whether you OCed too much or SR couldn't handle the frequency! In this case you can try to raise the vmax value of SR a little bit (CAREFULLY!) and try again. If it sitll freezes and you're sure that you didn't OC too much, turn SR OFF at least for MPU!
Maximum Voltage
Currently there is no app which supports the feature of adjusting the SR vmax value, because I wrote this feature some days ago.
But in the next Trickster Mod version this option will be supported!
example:
# To read the current vmax value. Replace XXX with one of the following:
sc_core - for core max sr voltage
sr_iva - for iva max sr voltage
sr_mpu - for mpu max sr voltage (mpu is most related for CPU scaling)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
# You will get an output, e.g. for mpu = 1450000 (1450mV)
# To set a new value, do the following command (replace XXX with a value like above - BE CAREFUL! USUALLY THE DEFAULT VALUE ENOUGH AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT UNTOUCHED!)
echo XXX > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
Minimum Voltage
It's easy because Trickster Mod supports it!
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. Below each SR component (IVA, CORE, MPU) there is displayed a value (usually 830 default) which means this is the lowest scalable voltage for this component. You can try to decrease this value for the case you want to UV a bit more - or raise it a bit for the case you think that the set range is too low and causes freezes on your device.
1.2 How do I use Live OC (Live OVerclock)?
This feature allows you to overclock the CPU in realtime. It works with a multiplier value set by the user. The default multplier value is "100", which means: No OC! If you want to raise the OC frerquency, just raise this value step by step.
FOr my device the maximum working OC value is "111" which means the maximum frequency is running at 1498mhz!
NOTE: Keep in mind that you tunr Smartreflex OFF for higher freqs than 1500mhz - or raise the maximum SR voltage range for "MPU" a little bit and test if it works.
Ok, how to use Live oC in action:
Open Trickster Mod App and swipe to the tab "Specific". There you will find something like this:
Code:
MPU OC [100]
DON'T TOUCH THE "CORE OC" SECTION, IT WILL CAUSE FREEZES!
Now slowly increase the value "100" to something higher, e.g. "105". Tap the hook in the right upper corner to confirm. To see your new set of frequencies you can now whether close and restart Trickster Mod or just use any monitoring app like Cool Tool which will show your frequencies in real time. That's it!
CAUTION: You can damage your phone forever!!!! This feature allows you to set very high frequencies (also up to 2,0ghz...) - That DOESN'T mean that your phone can run these frequencies!
If your phone freezes or crashes you have probably set too high OC - or your voltage is too low.
1.3 How do I use Custom Voltage (EMIF)?
NOTE: This only adjusts the fixed voltage! When you have Smartreflex ON it can still vary! You have to see the bigger picture: This voltage value sets the "middle point" for voltages. Smartreflex is still able to increase or decrease the voltage. When Smartreflex is OFF the CPU will stay on this voltage you set here and probably eats also more power.
How does EMIF works together with Smartreflex:
Code:
-------
| CPU |
-------
|
------------------ ------------------
|Voltage 1015 mV | ---->| SMARTREFLEX ON| = 1015mV +/- "vmax"/"vmin"
------------------ -------------------
|
--------------------
|SMARTREFLEX OFF| ----> 1015mV FIXED! No changes!
-------------------
Thi smeans if you change the voltage for a scaling step (OPP) while SR is ON, SR will adjust the voltage from this value, means: mV-Value +/- SR vmin/vmax. WHen SR is OFF it will stay on this mV as a fixed value.
How to adjust the voltage?
Well, this feature can be used with all generic apps which are supporting voltage settings. But we are prepared well, you can adjust voltages also with the "Trickster Mod App".
When you open the app, head to the tab "Specific" and below the "Live OC Section" you will find your voltage table, which looks like this:
Code:
<-->
1200 [1398]
1000 [1388]
900 [1371]
...
..
..
Now just tap the arrows in the right upper above the first voltage value and just type or tap (per direction) a value, e.g. "-25". To apply it, confirm by tapping the hook in the right upper corner of your screen. That's it, your new voltage values are now set and applied. And also mind here: If your phone freezes you porbably have set it too low.
CAUTION: NEVER SET HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN 1490mv here!!!!! Or you might damage your phone FOREVER!
This voltage is not the same like Smartreflex! But it's still voltage! Just be carefull!!
1.4 How can I use GPU OC and GPU Governor?
GPU Overclock doesn't work like Live OC! You cannot really set custom frequencies for the GPU, but you can select and set the maximum frequency from a hardcoded range!
For the GPU there are the following available frequencies:
154mhz (FIXED!)
307mhz
384mhz
416mhz
The minimum frequency of 154 is FIXED! This means you cannot change it because the GPU needs a minimum speed to run with. But the kernel allows you to select the maximum speed. This can be usefull for playing games and also for saving power . In example when not playing games you don't need the GPU to run at 416mhz! Set it to 307mhz in this case and save power.
When you open Trcikster Mod and head to the "specific section tab", you will find "GPU MAX FREQUENCY" and it's currently set maximum frequency. Tap on it to select your preferred one:
- 154 Mhz
- 307 MHz
- 384 MHz
That's it. The new setting will be your new maximum GPU frequency.
Below there's another option called "GPU Governor". Just tap on it and select your prefered one.
NOTE: If you want to track current GPU frequencies and watch governor's behavior, just switch to Trickster's "Informations" - Tab and watch the frequencies clock.
1.5 How can I use Gamma Control?
What is gamma? The gamma setting sets the color range for the screen. You can compare it to the contrast. We all know that the touchscreen eats most of the power compaerd to all other components in a smartphone! A lower brightness causes less power consumption and a lower gamma or contrast range alos helps a little bit to save power.
In this kernel you can choose from a range of "5 - 10" while "5" is very bright while "10" is very dark. The default setting is "5" BUT CAUTION: Trickster Mod will display a range of "0" to "10" and the default setting will be shown as "0". This is caused by the fact that this feature was ported from the Gnex device where you can choose from a higher range. The only sideeffect is that the values "0" - "5" won't show any difference.
How to set the gamma value?
Well, once again open Trickster Mod and swipe to the tab on the right end. Just select your preferred value by using the slider.
Alternately you can use sysfs by terminal or adb:
OMAP Gamma interface:
echo i > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma
Replace i with 0-10 of your choice.
1.6 What is "Battery Friend and how to use it?
Battery Friend is a simple toggle (ON/OFF) which sets your device into a battery friendly mode without the need to play with all settings in Trickster Mod /sysfs until you find a good setting. In fact it does the job for you.
What does it affect?
NOTE: Doesn't lock anyx frequencies anymore!
locks dynamic Fsync enabled
locks Fsync disabled
Doesn't allow any OC (Live OC will not have any effect, Core OC is not allowed in this kernel)
Increases the dirty ratio interval to 90% (starts working at this value)
Enables Dynamic Hotplug: This doesn't allow hotplugging during device is active - and it will always turn CPU1 OFF during suspend! It also prevents from conflicts when user uses a hotplug governor (which isn't a good idea though) - but hotplug governors are causing higher battery drain!
Dynamic Page-writeback always enabled
How to toggle Battery Friend:
For now the only way is via terminal, adb shell or root explorer (text editor)
For terminal and adb:
Code:
echo 1 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Enable */
echo 0 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Disable */
For Root Explorer
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to sys/kernel/battery_friend/
Open "battery_friend_active" with Text Editor
Change "0" to "1" and safe the file to enable
Change "1" to "0" and safe the file to disable
1.7 Suspend Governor Control (CURRENTLY DISABLED)
Suspend Governor Control is a kernel module written by me. You can use it to set your preferred Screen-Off-governor.
For now it's only supported by sysfs (Trickster Mod will support all my current and upcoming features as soon as it gets updated with its new UI mode!
How to set suspend governor
Open a terminal or use adb shell
Code:
su
echo "x" > /sys/kernel/suspend_gov/suspend_gov
Replace x with one of these values:
0 = Ondemand
1 = Ktoonservative
2 = Conservative
3 = OndemandX
NOTE: No matter what governor you use for suspend mode, if Battery Friend is enabled the second core will be turned off during suspend!
1.8 IVA Overclock
What is IVA OC?
IVA OPPs are controlling the CPU load for sound events. It could be useful (in some cases) when you get sound related laggs. Just set the maximum frequency to highspeed. This will allow more CPU power for sound events but also will cause higher battery consumption.
How to use IVA OC?
If you want to check the current IVA frequency. Just type in Terminal or ADB:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_clock
You will get an output like this:
Code:
132 Mhz
2. You can whether enable IVA highspeed: 130 - 430 Mhz ["1"] or enable IVA normal speed: 130 - 332 Mhz ["0"]
320 Mhz max: echo "0" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
430 Mhz max: echo "1" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
1.9 DPLL Cascading
DPLL: Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) algorithm
To get more info about this please see wiki
But to sum it up shortly: It helps to use/stream media (music) in a low power mode.
NOTE: DPLL Cascading will be available to be switched easily via Trickster Mod App soon!
How to switch DPLL?
DPLL is ENABLED by default!
Open Trickster Mod -> Speicific Tab --> DPLL (soon)
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
1.10 HDMI toggle
Some users are facing a RAZR-sepcific problem: HDMI cable is detected, even though there is no cable plugged!
Therefor I included a toggle to switch HDMI wether ON or OFF. Additinally there's an init.d script included within the AROMA Installer you can select during the installation of JBX-Kernel.
To enable/disable HDMI on-the-fy:
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
1.11 Intelli-Plug
For intelli-plug hotplugging is now only allowed when the device enters sleep.
To enable hotplugging universally just change the value of the following entry whether to 1 (on) or 0 (off):
Code:
sys/module/intelli-plug/parameters/int_hotplug
2. If anyone has the following issues:
Issue
Media Process FC
No SD-Card in File Explorer
My CPU Settings (frequencies, etc) won't be saved (it sets itself back to Kernel default after screen off)
My phone freezes/reboots always when I try to set options in Trickster Mod
The device is lagging very hard
Solution
Media FC: Open App settings, head to "Download Manager" and "Media Storage" and hit the "delete data" button. Reboot. Now it shouldn't give any FCs anymore and after a little bit of waiting it will find all Media (Pictures, Videos, etc..)
No SD-Card: Reboot into recovery, go to "Mounts & Storage", tick "mount int" or "mount ext".
USB: Make sure the screen is ON while plugging the cable in.
CPU Settings: This is a bug which cannot be solved at the moment. Temporary solution: In Trickster Mod just activate the "Frequency Lock" and your settings will persist.
Trickster Mod:: Open App settings, Trickster Mod and select "uninstal updates". Now it should work.
Crashes, Freezes, lagging, something doesn't work, etc
There are too many reasons which could cause crashes! So here is a checklist for you to look for. Check each point and try the following workaround:
- Your rom has CPU tweaks (e.g. Kernel modules, init.d folder, etc)
- You have set custom CPU settings (e.g. custom frequencies with apps like No-Frills CPU Control, Set-CPU, Antutu, etc...)
- You have undervolted too low
- You have overclocked too high
- You have applied higher "Core OC" value in Trickster Mod App
- You are running any other kernel tweaks which are regarding to the CPU and/or performance (e.g. Kernel modules by Whirleyes eventually set by init.d, etc..)
- After setting some settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod) your device doesn't boot anymore
- adb doesn't work / shows only "device offline"
- You are facing hard lagging
If any point here matches your setting, please revert from it:
- Remove any CPU init.d script from /System/etc/init.d
- Uninstall any CPU controling app (e.g. Set-CPU, No-Frills, etc..)
- Remove all extra kernel modules from system/lib/modules (e.g. cpu_control.ko, cpufreq_smartass2.ko, etc..)
- Unset any custom settings from any other kernel / CPU - tweaking app which is NOT Trickster Mod
- Maybe your governor causes issues. Hotplug is know for bugs at the moment...I'm going to fix it..
- NEVER set your CPU Settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod App) on boot!!!! - before you aren't sure that your settings are safe!!!
- You may flash the kernel again after reverting related settings
- to make adb work / show device online, download latest SDK platform-tools and confirm access on device (4.2 security feature of Android)
- Don't use any task killers, memory killers, seeder apps! They may conflict with the kernel/Rom settings.
If none of these suggestions work for you your rom may be incompatible. Please report it here that I can add the rom to the list of imcompatible roms
If you have any issue, please read this:
First check:
- is it really a kernel issue?
- did I see this bug with the roms original kernel?
- what are the people in the rom thread saying?
- what are the people in the kernel thread saying?
- can I find this issue on a bug list?
- how about my settings? Is it my fault it crashed?
- can I find something useful in the kernel FAQ?
- Is it maybe a well known issue and can be solved
withing seconds? Just like wifical.sh?
- Where to repeat that issue? Rom or kernel?
I know it's sometimes difficult to track the issues, and we can't know for sure if it's caused by the rom or by the kernel, but if you try at least to get some information you might find an answer sometimes. If you are able to understand logs, you may report whatever you find.
All this helps to keep the threads more clear. Thank you.

Hey guys, welocme to JBX-Kernel for Targa! This is the first initial release and needs to be tested! Please give me some feedback if it boots and how it works for you. It comes with built-in OTA Updater and many extra stuff. Just check it out.
Keep in mind that this release will only work on 4.4 builds! Currently I don't have the time for others. Also you should use a newer build with Full HD Cam support! When using this kernel with older 4.4 builds your camera won't work.

Oh cool, i happy Someone help you with targa kernel ?

Nope.. But it doesn't matter. Currently I have a problem with paying my server, and as long as I am able to build I wanted to release the Targa Kernel. The only difference seems to be in the CMD-line (Targa doesn't have a utags partition), so I just had to switch this line and build it with CM11 Targa sources to get the right ramdisk and modules. The whole source is the same like RAZR kernel.

I test it, and dont see weighty differences with RAZR kernel, have same bugs, display backlights don't turn on sometimes. I think you can talk with Hush about it, he can help.

You mean Hashcode? I am in static contact with him. But thx
What do you mean with "backlight doesn't turn on sometimes" ? I don't see this problem on RAZR... But sometimes you need to be a little patient when you want to wake it up. That's because of things like "DEEP IDLE" and others which keep the device in "deeper" sleep mode. It can take 1 or 2 seconds until you will see the lights - but it will turn on for sure. Maybe you're talking about something else? What bugs else exactly?

Yep, i mean Hashcode.
It will happened if use proximity sensor when calling, and sometimes when wake up phone. Backlight don't turn on generally, help only reboot. And it don't happened if change frequency to 300-1xxx. I think if you change minimal frequency to 300mhz it gone.

Well that's not an issue, but a well known phenomen. Some devices cannot handle 100 MHz (depends on silicon, each one is different). The min frequency is 300 by default, and the battery friend min frequency is 200 by default. Just check your settings in trickster mod.

Not yet. I need more informations from other users. Any feedback here????

Just try the today's OTA (soon). I forgot to update device tree sources in yesterday's builds.
Because I had a weird drain myself on yesterday's RAZR kernel (not very much, but noticable)
EDIT: I got a workaround for the RADIO issue - if it's actually an issue Wait for the OTA.

I was only able to get radio working on your 1-08 build of the kernel for rzr. Ever since then I haven't been able to get it to come up.
Edit: I went ahead and installed your 1-21 update and its better. It eventually connects to LTE but only holds it for 30 secs and then drops with no radio. Thanks for the help in advance.

Please download the latest build from same links again (any mirror, I overwrote it). It should have fixed radio now. But you have to replace your build.prop with that one from your rom or open it and remove all additions made by JBX. The easiest way is to flash the rom again, then flash jbx.

I went ahead and redownloaded and reinstalled and I'm still getting the same thing. Attached is my "phone info" screen. And under "select preferred network" my only option is unknown

So, have you reset your build.prop before as I said above?
Btw: just open it in a text editor (I.e. With root Explorer), scroll down until you see "dtrail - build.prop additions". Delete everything below that line. Now reboot and flash jbx (after downloaded again).

I have the latest JB radio (CDMA_N_05.22.00R LTEDC_U_09.1D.00). My radio works fine using the stock CM11 kernel. I really wanna try out dtrails' work.

[GUIDE] ROM setup after flash for better work

This is how I setup my rom after flash, and device is working very well with 52 installed apps
1. Configure settings
-Go to wifi and disable scanning always on
-Open mobile network and chose 2G (use 3G only when you need it)
-Go to more and then to mobile broadcasts and disable all (when it enabled, consume RAM)
-configure sound,display, and interface... As you want
-go to accounts and disable sync which you don't need.
-go to About and taping on blablabla, you know to enable Developer options and rom performance.
-Go to developer options set all animations(you have three) to 0.5
-Performance??
-you don't need it, I will show you in next step.
2. Flash this:
L Speed
Or make this manualy
2.1. Install&Configure TricksterMod
-For cpu freq the best is to set device default, like on stock rom, don't forget to press Lock freq.
-Minfree setup
-8mb
-12mb
-17mb
-25mb
-29mb
-33mb
-Syscontrol setup
-Set swappiness to 60
-Set vm.vfs_cache_pressure to 40
-vm.dirty_ratio = 90
-vm.dirty_background_ratio = 70
Set this from tricksterMOD
-CPU freq
The best is
-Min freq
320Mhz
-Max freq
1008mhz
-Scheduler
SIO
-Governor
SmartassV2 or SmartassH3
-GPU freq
-That is your choice min freq will increase battery life, but some laggs is possible, max freq will drain battery faster, but there is less possibility to have lag.
After all don't forget to set run on boot.
3.Install&Configure Greenify
-You already know Hibernate what you want expect Alarm clock, messaging apps, trickster mod, etc.
You already know if you hibernate app with push notifications, you don't get it.
4. Apps
-what about apps??
There is too much apps which user don't use, that apps use ram like other.
Now you need to delete everything what you don't use (live wallpapers, cm wallpapers, etc.) or change apps with some lightweigh, like gallery and keyboard. Download QuickPIC and google keyboard (lollipop themed) {{i will add link later }}
5.build.prop
-leave build.prop to default as much as possible.
-change DPI to device standard, in some reasons my device lag on 200, then I move back to 240 as default. This is for L7.
For L5, there is no line that define DPI, you can skip this step.
-Change ro.max.fling from 4000 to 8000 (don't add ro.min)
-Change vm.heapsize to 64m (I don't go under that, but difference is big from 128 to96 choose between 96 or 64
-Change lowRAM from false to true (you will get little more free RAM).
When you change it to true, you will lose transparent statusbar.
6.init.d
-keep device without any special tweaks, devs which make this rom, they choose the best.
Helpful tips:
-Don't use battery boosters, ram boosters and apps call like that. System do better than one app. There is low memory killer (lmk).
Also this app use ram which you maybe need for something.

Nice tips buddy!
Good job!

It's extremely fast at this point, i'm only afraid of it gradually slowing down after days of use
right now, it's really fine

Thank you for these settings

This is how I setup my rom after flash, and device is working very well with 52 installed apps
1. Configure settings
-Go to wifi and disable scanning always on
-Open mobile network and chose 2G (use 3G only when you need it)
-Go to more and then to mobile broadcasts and disable all (when it enabled, consume RAM)
-configure sound,display, and interface... As you want
-go to accounts and disable sync which you don't need.
-go to About and taping on blablabla, you know to enable Developer options and rom performance.
-Go to developer options set all animations(you have three) to 0.5
-Performance??
-you don't need it, I will show you in next step.
2. Install&Configure TricksterMod
-For cpu freq the best is to set device default, like on stock rom, don't forget to press Lock freq.
-Minfree setup
-8mb
-12mb
-17mb
-25mb
-29mb
-33mb
-Syscontrol setup
-Set swappiness to 60
-Set vm.vfs_cache_pressure to 40
-vm.dirty_ratio = 90
-vm.dirty_background_ratio = 70
-Gpu freq
-That is your choice min freq will increase battery life, but some laggs is possible, max freq will drain battery faster, but there is less possibility to have lag.
After all don't forget to set run on boot.
3.Install&Configure Greenify
-You already know Hibernate what you want expect Alarm clock, messahing apps, trickster mod, etc.
4. Apps
-what about apps??
There is too much apps which user don't use, that apps use ram like other.
Now you need to delete everything what you don't use or change apps with some lightweigh, like gallery and keyboard. Download QuickPIC and google keyboard (lollipop themed) {{i will add link later }}
5.build.prop
-leave build.prop to default as much as possible.
-change DPI to device standard, in some reasons my device lag on 200, then I move back to 240 as default.
-Change ro.max.fling from 4000 to 8000 (don't add ro.min)
-Change vm.heapsize to 64m (I don't go under that, but difference is big from 128 to96
-Change lowRAM from false to true (you will get little more free RAM).
6.init.d
-keep device without any special tweaks, devs which make this rom, they choose the best.
Only if you want add zipalign.

When i manually edited the build.prop I ended up black screen too, then i tried out the build.prop Editor app, which worked for me.
