[Q] which enhancements/modules/scripts should i use? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello..
i am currently using primeHD v8.0 custom rom and i am on STOCK kernel..
i want to make my x8 more fast like while scrolling or app open/close etc.. , with better gaming, and more better battery life.
i have the following enhancements in my mind... i have read enough of reviews but seriously i wanted to collect them at one thread and ask about opinions..
1. primeHD v8.0
2. oc at like 710Mhz
3. v6 supercharger
4. chainfire3d with powervr plugin
5. smartass v2 cpu governor
now i came to a personal conclusion that the above 5 are certainly good and will definitely boost performance [i havent tried any of them yet except the first one obviously]
and then i see some other threads or tweaks/mods like
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808
2. e15 optimiser [i read t reviews.. and unfortunately it doesnt seem well]
3. jimdem droid tweak.. [this has particularly good reviews.. please take this into consideration]
now i have the following questions:
1. do i need the above mentioned 5 ? i mean all of them or some of them..
2. if i install all 5 mentioned, will there be bugs, forceclose, or any problem like rebooting .. if used TOGETHER? [exclude the overclock while answering this, as i know it depends on the hardware.. so..]
3. if anyone has installed or tested all of them please give a reply.. based on performance with games and at the same time improved battery life and day-to-day multitasking.
4. i mentioned 2 other tweaks too.. do i need them if i already installed the v6 supercharger?
5. does jimdemdroid tweak does any better thing at primehd v8.0 for PERFORMANCE and issues??
6. i know these scripts and mods involve libraries which at the system level do therir work.. how.. i dont know.. i a noob.. but anyway.. please provide a concise list of the things which are significantly good and will seriously yield!
if any better mod/tweak is available, please do share.. and remember i am on STOCK kernel with a custom rom!

does chainfire3d realy support the x8 gpu? i think not

Use Crazy home launcher, it has few features, but its the BEST for speed

chainfire3d works on x8.. as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294198
..and please can someone relevantly answer all my questions??..

a lots of questionlets give a shortest.Here what i do to maximized my phone
1.stable rom-primeHD is quite stable
2.oc not more than 700-higher oc not make big diff except eat ur batt.
3.play with others cymod performance setting for best result
4.use smartassv2-balancing between batt life and performance
5.use RAM manager pro instead superchager for easy switch RAM requirement
6.use swap for more RAM
7.turn off unused funtions for more batt life only on when i need it.
8.use Titanium backup to freeze or uninstall any system apk that me dont use
God willing,ur phone will be fast,stable & have good battery life.many custom roms has build in tweak so install others will bring more harm unless u know what u doing
cheers

so that means that i dont need v6supercharger.. rom manager pro is a good alternative..??..
and do i need chainfire3d??.. to play hd games etc.. and the point you said about cymod performance settings.. i did not get it.. i mean how to use these settings??.. please tell..
and swap wouldnt be possible on stock rom i suppose...

Its up to you man,
1.both of it is RAM manager but u cant install both in 1 time.I cant tell which one is good but the easy and safe one is RAM manager PRO.
2.Chainfire basically is Graphic card emulator to run games for other card.also its can reduce games quality to minimize RAM usage.so its nothing to do to boost up ur performance.use it only if u want to play certain games
3.Its Cyanogenmod setting like cpu setting,compcache RAM usage,WM head size,etc options.
in my opinion these setting is the best:
a)in cpu setting,use smartassv2 governor & set cpu below700
b)Comp RAM=26%
c)use JIT,Eneble surface,use 16bit,allow purging,lock home=ON
d)VM heap size=32
options may vary for diff.ROMS by default setting but u always can check for fully options by make shortcut for cyanogenmod setting.
long press on homescreen>shortcuts>cyanogenmod settings>Performance settings.
4.yes,some ppl says its no use to swap on stock kernel but if u on costum,believe me,its worth it
cheers

thanks a lot.. i got all my answers.. um.. actually i got a prob here... i was trying the v6 supercharger.. but i couldnt install it .. it said i had crappy version of busybox.. so i went to android market.. got busybox installer 7.9.2 [latest] and installed it... which while installing said that it couldnt correctly be installed as some old version of busybox was hindering it.. and it said to remove any version of the previous busybox... after that.. i anyway.. tried to run the v6 script through Terminal emulator.. NOTHING HAPENNED!!.. i exited terminal.. did a reboot.. what i get is a soft brick!!.. i was on primehd rom and stock kernel!
edit: i got the prob.. i used 1.20 version of busybox.. which bricked my phone.. any way i have installed ram manager pro now... and am not suffering from any problem now.. thanks !
and 1 more thing.. i couldnt find the comp ram settings anywhere.. others i have done..

Not sure about stock kernel.maybe stock cant support or rom itself
sometimes dev will set it to 26% by default & remove the option to prevent somebody mess up with it.not sure about primeHD.use search button to have some answer.If u couldnt find a satisfaction answer,u always can open new thread maybe some advance users or dev himself can confirm it.

thanks.. i installed the rom manager pr.. it works like a charm... but another prob arose.. i tried to do smartass v2 governor module via terminal.. with the steps written as to how to do it... it gets incorporate in the cpu settings also.. but only for sometime.. ie .. when i restart my phone.. the smartass governor is deleted.. i have to again and again do that.. i don know if ram manager is hindering with it... i have set it to balance!.. any solution??..

sorry,bro...
cant help u with this one.Never had the chance to play much on stock kernel(unlocked bootloader after 3 days bought it).If search button cant helped,I think u need a new thread.many Ppl here actually read only a title.they only step in if they got something to share.Good Luck!

[SCRIPT] Juwes Ram optimization

Hi, i found this on xda, so i didnt make it... Juwe did... all thanks goes to him.
This script will make your RAM in the best optimization, the best optimization means the best balance between free memory, multitask, speed of launching apps and system speed.
I personaly tested it... the results were great. It made my rom faster, smoother and the battery lasted longer. So try it... the file is attached... use CWM to flash it.

And what about the kernel. In original thread they say: works just with kernel which supports bla bla..... . It is safe I hope.
Hmmm ... interesting ... i try
i you have doubts... backup.
after i flash it..
it become like a original rom(lost all my apps,themes..)
i use CM 7
=====FIXED====
Need to reboot again lol
I test on CyanogenMod7 Nightly Build. It's work!
is the difference so big? is it really that fast?
You can also see the change if you go to 'running services'... there is much more free ram then before. There is a difference, and it isnt small....
ok, i will try it
The original thread says "...that supports init.d", and to check you can download that app and check for these values:
LMK values
10MB, 16MB, 24MB, 48MB, 56MB, 72MB
VM values
50, 10, 5, 10, 90, 5
what are the LMK and VM values? I want to know for sure this works on mine before flashing it (running CM 7.0.2 and I do have an init.d folder in system/etc/ )
you can use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to check the LMK values but i dont know how to check vm,i searched for that two
I installed that one (the galaxy one did not work on the wildfire ) but what value is the LMK? What are the abbreviations LMK and VM? I first thought VM was virtual machine but the value is not expressed in MB so...
Works a treat for me. Thanks a lot
So you just download this (scan qr code) and then flash it under clockworkmod as a normal rom?
yes, just like that
cm method dont work for me i need to copy it then change permissions to work,but ist not a bigy
you lose all data and programs?

Choose between Cyanogenmod and 2.3.6

Hi everybody,
this is my first message in this forum
I have a Galaxy Next (= Mini) with Official Gingerbread 2.3.4, with root.
Now I want make my phone more fluid and faster, but I have no idea of the Rom I will flash.
The most famous are Cyanogenmod (7.1 or 7.2?) and the last Gingerbread (2.3.6).
Can you help me in my decision, even telling me the differences between the two Roms?
P.S: sorry for my bad english...
flash cm7.2.0 RC2 by squadzone its stable fast looks nice + u can use his OC kernel
The gingerbread 2.3.4 is the most fluid that i ever tested, I veer used Cyanogenmod but 2.3.4 is better than 2.3.6 (And the .3.5 SUCKS)
Thanks for your advice, but can you post the differences between Cyanogen and 2.3.4? What has more of Gingerbread?
cyanogen is better it has overclock it has a graphic equalizer, it's more customizable and it's not vendor dependent...it's pure android
Ok, i choose Cyanogen 7.2, but what about RC1/RC2?
CynogenMod7 RC2
For me CM7.0.2 RC2 is the best i've used so far.
Plus 782 OC Kernel
Plus A2SD Darktreamor
Try it. You'll love it

I must flash the kernel and the script via "recovery mode" after installing Cyano7.2, right?
yes. all other kernel and update using recovery (in CWM).
But after flashing the kernel, for changing frequence of the CPU i must use No-Frills CPU Control or the frequence is freezed (at 652,753,782 Mhz)?
yes. use No-Frills. and set it on boot. after reboot, it will set the frequency when it finish loading your home screen

cyanogen have many advantages over stock original firmware like you can have your mobile prerooted,
can change boot animation from cyanogenmod setting ,
can add status bar widget for quick access to data, wifi 2g/3g brightness etc. ,
can add screen on or screen off animation,
can use different types of lock screen,
enable/disable boot animation and sound,
can use 16 bit tranparency,
can set dalvik vm heap size,
can set cpu frequency,
set sdcard cache size
and the most important things
can apply themes
stock rom didnt have all these things

RC2 has additional CM settings and tweaks not available in RC1. Both are stable enough though, at least for me.
Swap in Linux (Android) is something similar to what paging file is in Windows. Some portions application memory will be reside in swap partition instead of being in RAM. You can google for more info. Anyway it's not something that you must have, so if you're still confused then no need to use swap

I'm now on Emanon V3 (2.3.5, baseband: XXKPI, build number: gingerbread.XWKS7) Can I flash cm7.2.0 RC2 now or do I have to flash gingerbread 2.3.4 back first?
Hey guys am having the same dilemma, am still on stock froyo on my sg mini and am thinking of going gingerbread for now until maybe ice cream sandwich becomes possible and stable. Am torn between going for a stock gingerbread rom and a custom rom (most probable one so far is cyanogen). My main fear with custom roms is the very many minute bugs that turn out to be quite critical that show up later when the rom gets proper testing by the masses which is why I have waited. The main points I am looking for is mainly
*improved battery perfomance for my phone
*get rid of stock apps that came with the phone such as opera 5 (since I use 6.5) and quick office etc
*increase flash capabilities on the phone such as being able to play uefa fantasy football and make suba while browsing on opera mobile. Thus eliminating the need to visit internet cyber cafes here everytime I wanna change something (yeah I love my football)
*As much improved performance when it comes to playing videos such as mkv (yeah I know its a stretch but I will take whatever perfomance I little perfomance boost I can get)
*though not such a big gamer but I would love to be able to play atleast one or two 3d games on my phone every once in a while
*ability to overclock for more performance and underclock processor for battery saving gains when the situation is appreciate such as when its in the pocket and all I need is to receive calls and messages
Is that asking too much ;p ? So with most of that in mind which btw cyanogen stock rom should I focus my attention on? which versions are most stable? Is it worth it? Are all or even some of my needs even reflux realistic hence plausible? Thank you
-just got a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for it hence I never have to worry about loosing my flash disk, just carry my cable ;p feels like christmas already

-For a stable phone i use official 2.3.4 KPI with root acces.
Pro:for official:
-Nice phone call app
-Nice contacts app
-Stable features as sound,wifi,GPS,
Minus for official:
-not many custom features
-low volume of sound
-For tons of custom features use CM7.1 RC1 original by tj_style
-themes
-widgets with quick acces to data on/off etc..
-DSP manager boost your volume.
But in CM7 usual are issue with GPS update position in real time,wifi drop after a wile from some hot-spots,radio difficult to fix.
Personaly i like by far stable 2.3.4 KPI ,but i use CM7 just because i use DSP manager for volume boost ,because i use TTS service with Ivona engine and Voice Notify to read my messages and notifications.

Thats quite an interesting comparison. how would you compare the GUI between the cyanogen rom and stock gingerbread when it comes the contacts,keypad, phone call,messaging apps? I kinda like the swype gestures in my froyo. The gps issue in cyanogen has me worried coz I use gps alot as am in a new city. Once I hook it to the car charger and dashboard mount am able to use it to guide me to drive into unfamiliar places most of the time without fear of getting lost these days so a good and accurate gps lock is essential in my phone.

I didn actually read all the stuff, no time now(maybe later).
But CyanogenMod is the best. Period.
YMMV.
Edit:
ok, only squadzone's cm7 has overclocking and undervolting possibilities...
i use swype beta, default CM UI will not be any special..the best part is the Tmobile theme chooser...so pick a theme of ur liking and done.
tons of customizations are possible...i dont think there is any prob with gps...except in tj's cm7 u need to flash a gps fix.
give it a try and u'll know.
Take your time, i will be here waiting.

Which X8 tweaks are worth effort?

Hello!
Im currently running GDX v28b with alfs v8a kernel. I didn't make any big tweaks so far, only overlocking and SuperCharger.
Is making ext3/4 and swap partitons on microsd worthy? Can i really make my X8 faster thanks to this? I heard swap can shorter microsd life-span. I have 16gb 6-class microsd card. How much can it shorten it's life-span?
What are other tweaks i can do to make my x8 faster?
Thanks for the answers!
yes, i uninstalled the unused apps too. i'm just wandering how could i do more . thanks for your help and i'm waiting for more opinions
Actually the ROM you are using is pretty much tweak for performance and I guess adding more that your not certain of might cause problem to its performance. Btw do you play on your phone a lot?
No, i don't play a lot, but sometimes when i have to quit one app and load another one the phone is very laggy. That's why i thought about applying some more tweaks to the phone .
Thats normal because of our device low memory. You can try Ram Manager.
btw supercharger is tweaks too,so many tweak include there are 3g turbo charger,kickass kernelizer,flush engine,etc...
but if you need more tweak you can try "jimdem droid"...its easy to installing

Which rom/karnel for gaming?

Well, if you don't care about the camera, you can use one of Diablo's performance kernels (some are very experimental, though) - that would give you somewhat more RAM, for now you can overclock it up to 1881,600 Mhz, you can also set CPU governor to performance (watch out, you can melt your phone . From my observations, GB and JB roms (in general) are much less laggy than the ICS ones when it comes to games, IMHO there are few JB roms that are enough for daily use, just search the ones with some GPU tweaks implemented. For now, you can't get much more than this.
Sorry for my English
Now i have CM10 and devils karnel but game like is vice city does even not start. I have black screen. Before i have some Gamerz Rom and there i was smooth playing Gta but screen was flashing so i decide to search other roms.
About overlocking. If i overlock cpu in devils manager or anyelse similar program my phone crash. The only program which i sucessfull OC my phone was Tegrak.
Strange, when flashing rom and kernel, did you do a full wipe / factory reset, wipe cache / dalvik, fix permissions etc.? If not, try it. You can also have some hardware issue - every phone is a bit different, maybe yours can't handle some lower voltages / higher freq. that's why it crashes, but it's very strange that Tegrak can OC it without problems, and other apps can't.
Anyway, do a full wipe, relfash rom and kernel step by step, it should help.
Will try Thanks anyway :good:
It's not all about rom and kernel. Try latest LazerDroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978061 I'm sure it'll make a difference. All those tweaks have huge impact on gaming performance.

How to speed up jelly bean performance?

Hi there, I have question how you guys speed up your jelly bean performance on ace?
Maybe u will tell something new for me
For example I:
* Use memory managment - zRam to max, allow purging of assets ON, kernel samepage merging ON
* Limit background processes to 2-3 (in dev options, unfortunately after every reboot that needs re-apply)
* After reboot I try to force stop every non-system app, whats running
(using task manager to see whats running)
* Using only one widget

And at this moment my task killer shows 140mb free on CM10.1 (bieltv.3, RC2 release)
Maybe you should flash Adrenaline Engine and install Seeder + Greenfy to keep ram usage to low level. The first two things I mentioned works very well on stock GB and make the phone really fast. Also you can use CAREFULLY Pimp my rom to apply mods to speed up more the rom. Be aware that you can't do that much because the phone is very not powerful and the rom is not optimized at 100% so above some level of smoothness you can't go. P.S. You can also use a swap partition or the kernel patcher Memod+Swapall.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830
Pushing free mem into 50 or 75MB, smartassV2 or smartassH3 + sio, Greenify, replacing Launcher2 with the launcher from XperiaZ.
For swap I use Swapper 2 from Google Play.

I am sorry. I did not see your post.
Do you mean Swapper 2?
It is just an interface. You need a kernel which supports swap (like the one of the Cm 10.1 builds or erikcas' AOKP ROM). The performance depends on the kernel. The app just invokes busybox commands.
There are few apps that manage swap. If you want a simple one for swap files, use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper
If you want it to have more features and/or support a swap partition (which is faster and better as it is mounted even if the phone is connected to a PC). The biggest advantage besides that is its feature to clean the swap partition when it gets full. If the app does not (like the first one), it will be lagging like hell.
So I recommend Swapper 2. :good:
However, make sure that you have a class 10 SD card. Other classes will slow down the phone. And the life of the card will be decreased due to the many read and write actions.
You can transform you rom on a Bareboned Rom to make it as fast as possible, e.i. deleting all useless apps!! instead of using apps to freeze others as Greenify, TB, AndroidTaskers... that of course is runnig in background, so the best way to stop all background processes is removing the app that produce these processes xDDD

Yes, probably one of the best methods. However, you will have to do that again for every new release.

JB is already faster than GB.
