Was wondering this too. Think it speeds opening apps and stuff up but makes a boot longer. Not exactly sure what it actually does tho lol

Zipalign is an archive alignment tool. It optimizes the way an app is packaged. Doing so enables the operating system to interact with the application more efficiently, and has the potential to make the application and overall the whole system much faster. Execution time is minimized for zipaligned applications, resulting in a lower amount of RAM consumption when running the app.

Its supposed to streamline your apps and make them load faster on boot, making your boot time quicker but it's not a noticeable difference.

I'm 99% on Android right now. The one component left is the Camera. The log for the latest zImage system " all working" but for me it's still crashing the camera app after seconds without ever capturing anything.

The camera is just fixed in Android Userland. This is one step but camera driver is still missing at Kernel. As long this is not done there will be no camera.
But anyway nice step we took with latest release.

can you tell me specifically what are you using so that you can have all that.
thanks
Userland is the Android system (like Froyo for example) which is common to all phones. It's the part you interact with. The Kernel is a driver layer which is specific to each phone (Topaz, Rhodium, Hero, Nexus one) that controls the hardware.
Like marcydarcy said when the driver is ready, the rest should work. That being said, getting the driver ready is no small task.

yes please.
Here you go, all zipped up and ready to go. Please note that the battery indicated is off and the clock set to 650mhz. I'm using it for daily use at this point. Camera of course doesn't work, battery indicated does work if you turn it on but it's a bit finicky. Seems to affect all XDAndroid builds. I haven't stripped the software down any, planning on doing that another time.
Other then all that, rock solid. Runs all the apps i've tried so far, doesn't lag as long as you don't add a ton of widgets. Same signal quality i got before (flawless everywhere in town.) About as good as it gets with a Pure. Wish i had more RAM and a better touchscreen daily though.

That was difficult enough. XDA needs to modify the timeout period for uploads. Can't upload the archive fast enough.

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.

so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.

It not clearing ram, the change is permanent until you use RSDlite. The effect is the same as if you'd do some kernel tweak.

Understanding RAM
I apologize for resurrecting an older thread, but I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around the limitations of available RAM. It seems sadly lacking that the newest devices still have a ~800mb RAM limit, with a good 2/3 being used up by system processes.
In trying to understand the root issue, I guess my first question is why. Why is so little memory dedicated to running apps? Is this similar to the old 640K limitation under DOS? Why can't more memory be allocated to RAM for increased performance when running apps? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but It is my understanding that RAM and Storage (ROM) are physically the same thing, but separated by artificial "partitions" to isolate RAM from Internal Storage. If my understanding of this is correct, why can't one sacrifice Internal storage space to increase the System RAM size to, hypothetically 2gb, leaving roughly 1.3gb free for running apps so task killers or memory "babysitting" is not an issue. Wouldn't this be better and more efficient than just having a mere 300mb available for running apps?
I would appreciate it if somebody could explain and/or correct my understanding of Android memory utilization, and why System RAM seems to be such an issue.
Has anyone successfully froze any packages or made any changes to free up more Ram on their GEAR? typically i sit around the 360MB mark with only a small amount of Free Ram. Using Launcher 8 right now, which doesn't appear to be a memory hog.
Any suggestions?

I usually have between 80 and 120mb free with a lot of apps/tweaks installed, which is excellent considering its a watch. Bare in mind it only has 470mb of usable ram. Using 380mb seems perfectly acceptable to me :thumbup:

Yeah but it's samsung... there is usually some bloat ware that can be frozen or something. What apps/tweaks have you done for memory, just curious? i have about 60-80 after running a launcher which i suspect to be pretty good considering the above ram as you have stated.

Anything can be deleted mate, trial and error till you find your perfect set up, use titanium backup to back things up and delete them, then you can always restore if something went wrong. Personally I have all stock bloat intact as most of it adds use to the watch (weather, notifications etc) as for memory tweaks I use @zeppelinrox supercharger script, which really does help the watch run smooth and fast (it makes a noticeable improvement in terms of speed and memory issues)

Apps that you downloaded, but don't use them, just remove. Get good quality apps from reputable source/brand. Your phone should let you know if the app is using more resources. Restart your device at least once a week to free up some RAM. In the settings, on the battery screen you will be able to see if an app or hardware is using % of battery.
