So been reading through a few comments posted around the web and seeing that some users, like me, dont think autokiller is working correctly with Kaos froyo. My phone still gets sluggish until I kill some proc like before when I had autokiller installed on a 2.1 based ROM. I have already emailed the dev asking but waiting to hear back. Wanted to know if any of you guys can confirm this or not. Thanks
I'm not quick sure if it is working or not, but I do know that after a reboot that you have to configure the settings again, even though you have autokiller set to start up on boot.

After I changed the SU to 2.1, I didnt have this issue ne more. Have you done that?
Autokiller isn't especially helpfuly anyway, but I had problems with it and Froyo + JIT.

No issues for me. Have you tried teh latest version?
Dev responded saying it does work with Froyo.

What do you have autokiller set at and what kind of battery life are you seeing with your setup?
And one more thing, when's that next mash coming out?

I have it set as aggressive, I get decent battery life. If I have reception (at work, Im in a server room so battery dies very fast since no reception) I can go a full day with decent use.
As for my next release, I am planning to release it after Kaos updates his release. It wont be much as I am trying to keep it nice and clean but more blue through out it and a few new icons. Patience my child.
Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!

I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.
Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

I don't think you will notice a difference, I thought this mod pretty disabled throttling after you use 5GB of data in a month

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.
Guess it doesn't hurt to give it a shot.
So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.
No, it is ROM specific.
I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?
No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.
I saw people mentioning the V6 supercharger script, and went and found and installed it. However I wasn't sure what setting to use (when it asks for a number between 1-17). Cloud I get some advice from others on that?
Here's the supercharger thread for those interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I'm pretty sure the choice you want is 6 at least that's what I did. Not sure where I saw that, but I think is was from the gingerbread man

6 is what I use with the kernel and 3g tweaks as well and it has made a huge difference. I know others are using that as well on the Hero. I like my performance with no compcahe and jit on. Every phone is different though. I'm doing the animations on fast in spare parts. I am finally using all animations too, not just the window.
Sent from my HERO JBGB
Yeah it definitely improved my phone's performance. I'm going to try disabling compcache and disabling jit (since it was on by default) and see what happens. Maybe further performance increases will ensue.

I have gotten good response from my phone with jit on. I will have to test more with jit off to compare. I did with compcache and found more lagginess on my device, but others have probably have no issue- same with jit as well. I also have asset purging disabled FWIW.
Good luck!

Those are tweaks that cyanogenmod adds to their roms. You aren't seeing them on sense because they aren't there.

Im running v6 update 9 beta 1 and no io tweak. I got the 98 no io just fine when it comes to the v6 i do the run as root and pick 1 for fast scrolling and nothing happens. I just tap menu and leave in background. What the heck am i doing wrong? Or do i tap kill?
I'm not really sure that the 3g tweaks are working. I've tried all the options on the latest release, but nothing seems to change when I run a speedtest. I'm generally around 1k down/600 up. Any ideas on this? I don't know if I need to running run on boot as well or not. . .

Same here. I tried all, even the two "experimental" options and my speed test results are basically identical to what I had before applying any updates.
for the experimental it says "it may or may not make things snappier or do nothing at all" and as too the 3g tweak, did u reboot after installation? you can check your buildprop to see if settings were changed
Yup...did a reboot each time. Would it matter the order in which the other "tweaks" were implemented? I did the 3g, then the v6 supercharger, then the kernal tweak.
But, I'm seeing no benefit at all from the 3g.
Running gb hero deck 1.21 with. 29 kernal and firerat mod as well.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I ran some tests on my 3g speeds and the results were pretty inconclusive. I guess I should have included a test with the 3g tweaks turned off too. Anyway, it was a pretty limited test, but it seems like there isn't much of a difference with any of the 5 settings. I'm not unhappy with the 3g speeds. I just was hoping to get more of a bump with the tweaks.
I ran 10 tests each, using speakeasy.net on my laptop, while tethering to my phone's 3g. I went that route b/c I've read that the speed test app is pretty buggy for GB ROMs. In my experience that is very true b/c my readings are all over the place with that thing.
Turns out the "Fastest" was indeed fastest. But, not by much. Here are my average readings over 10 iterations:
Fastest - 1304 kbps / 464 kbps
Faster - 1299 kbps / 464 kbps
Exp. 2 - 1259 kbps / 339 kbps
Exp. 1 - 1132 kbps / 438 kbps
Fast - 1147 kbps / 390 kbps
The fastest single DL test was on the Experimental 2 and was 2510 kbps (2.51 M)...however, the slowest DL test was also on Exp. 2 (530 kbps). So, that one was all over the place. I guess i just have to accept that the hero isn't gonna be getting 2-3M download speeds with regularity on Sprint's 3g. For now, i'm too stubborn to upgrade, but we'll see how that goes.
As far as the v6 tweaks, i never really had a complaint with this phone since getting rid of that laggy-as-hell stock ROM. CM7, GB deck, and aospCMod have all been really snappy for me...especially when in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I think i'm on the latest radio (2.42.02.10.29). However, i'm not on the latest PRL. I don't know how to change that w/o reverting back to sense. I'm at 60677, currently. Would that make a difference with 3g? I thought that only pertained to the voice signal and roaming...
Im trying to do this too i see there are different updates and versions. Also when i press enter where the heck is the enter button on our hero? Why is it for txt it has a go button and for other things its a back button. Im running standard GB keyboard. I dont know how to finish the V6 if i dont know where to enter.
Someone PLEASE give me some good proper settings for the SetCPU. I have VEGAn TAB Gingerbread Edition 7.0. Kernal Version says: 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1.
I know someone on here is using this...so let me know how to set this up using my G Tablet.
I want faster performance at the same time...extending battery life a little. Either way..nothing to make it overheat tho.
Let me even know the specs i posted will work with SetCPU. Thanks.
Performance and battery life are opposites. You have to underclock to get more battery life.
Oh.. and it's a kernel not kernal.

Typo in my spelling. But theres a middle where you can set to get a little of each. Anyway...anyone??????????
Not gonna happen. If you do anything to make it faster it increases power consumption, period. The On Demand governor, default, does the best job of letting you go 100% when you want and drop to a low freq when you are idle.

Ok..are you using this? Would you know any good settings for this GTab? I dont wanna do anything and overheat it or put the wrong settings and stuff. You know. Any bad side effects?
Edit: Dumb question but...if i use this plugged in alot...in my room..then all the power it uses would be for the good right? can't kill the battery then.
Edit 2: One more question..if there was something you didnt like about it...does just uninstalling it put your phone right back to how it was? Or a little more tweaking you need to do before you uninstall?

As I recall, running VEGan 7.0 I used SetCPU no higher than 1.2 w/interactive. No noticeable drag or heat. Perhsoot builds great kernels but I seem to recall using Blades or Clemsyn but could be wrong. Unless you find a way to clock so far out of parameters (voltage/speed) I seriously doubt you can irreparably fry your GTab. Using the wrong power adapter would be more likely to nuke a tab. IMO.
Using plugged in logically it's a wash as you use what you charge. I'm no expert in electronics. Others may have more input here.
I have always re-flashed ROMs to reset. That way you know you cover the custom kernel. Some have had success flashing only the kernel. YMMV.
Always proceed after a good backup!

Thanks alot for the reply. See...i don't flash or anything like that. Haven't took the time to learn it..when i know i need to.
I was hoping no kind of reflashing was involved. So your saying uninstalling it may not put things back like it was?
Also curious on this one..that "Set to Boot" thing..if you DON'T check that...does that mean whenever you reboot...it goes back to normal? And you have to open SetCPU again and again to set it up?
And of course checking it would mean it stays that way i guess. Just heard a few weird stories that you can't uninstall it. But even if i do..wanted to seriously know if everything will go back like it was. Thanks again.

Not a problem. We were all noobies at one time!
Flashing sounds like trouble but if/when done right it's simple. Trust me, you will one day laugh at remembering how anxious you were about it.
Check your other post. Doing a nandroid backup thru CWM will make a FULL BACKUP of everything on your GTab as it is right now. It's way simple to do really and can save your ass if something goes wrong.
Set To Boot means just what you think. If you leave it unchecked your GTab will revert to stock speed. Set To Boot means when your GTab reboots it goes back to overclock speed you set.

Yea..had a feeling thats what the BOOT part meant. Just wanna be sure. And the ROM manager thing..im getting ALOT of negative things about it working NOT good with the GTab. Even my thread on here has a few people saying that. My gut keeps telling me when i try this...something will go wrong...then ill thing " Why did i have to try this..there was nothing wrong with my Tablet before this". You know. That lil voice.
Thats true about how we are were the same at one time. I hate when certain people think they never were. Funny.
Are there teps to nandroid backup without that ROM Manager? I want the easiest way possible.
Plus...how can i tell which Bootloader i am...you know..they say its either 1.1 or 1.2. I bought mine already flashed. Cant get ahold of the dude to ask him.

OK. How to tell what bootloader you have....here.
Install CWM Guide here.
CWM is the only way I know of to do a complete nandroid backup. Installing CWM just for that makes it indispensable.
ROM Manager on the GTab is iffy at best. Works well on other tablet but not so much on GTab. I used it for informational purposes only.
I know that "little voice". We all have heard it. But having a full backup helps quiet it. I would not suggest you get to tweaking until you have a nandroid backup via CWM. That dreaded "something" will go wrong. It happens to most all on here who want to learn. Nothing like a soft bricked tablet to motivate one!
Just a suggestion. Before you get in too deep. Spend a week or so just reading the forum. Learn to use the Search function (It will save your butt many many times). Keep your threads condensed. (Two SetCPU threads can be confusing) and keep reading...
Oh, and relax. Pretty much whatever one does to a tablet can be fixed. I said "pretty much"! lol

So, to check which branch you are on if you are on STOCK: Go to Settings -- About Tablet -- Tapu UI Version.<<< I dont see that Tapu UI anywhere in my About Tablet. Hmmm. But i am running VEGAn TAB. I DO see Build Number: GRI40.
When in read how to check the bootloader thing..he did say something like ' If i have a lock screen..i must be on 1.2. I DO have a lockscreen. So 1.1 doesnt have any lock screen when the Tablet starts up????
But just a weird question...wouldnt i already have CWM if i have VEGAn TAB on here already?? I thought yes. I DO wanna speed this baby up a little bit. Doesnt have to be SUPER fast. Just a little faster startup and faster when i click apps or menu stuff. I want a Motorola Xoom soon. Wanna sell and trade up stuff for it.
I also wouldnt mind VEGA n TAB 7.1...i think they said the Camera works in that version for Skype and other stuff..not sure. Im a paranoid person with certain things in life. I guess this is one of em. Weird...im good with computers. Programs and stuff a little bit.
Guess i should just DL SetCPU and run it..just dont click set on BOOT.
Edit: WOW..those steps in how to install CWM is point on. Thats what i like...the DUMMY style step by step. Every word. You know..until we learn how to do it. Some people would explain..then say a certain word and ill be lost. That one was good. Thanks alot for the kind words and help. I really appreciate it.
Edit 2: I can put the zoip to CWM onto the internal SD of the GTab right? Even if theres alot of stuff already in it???
Edit 3: In the CWM folder i downloaded...i see the update.zip...zipped..and a folder that says Recovery. Strange..in the steps to install CWM...it says everything but it doesnt say what to do with this folder...even tho i think it should be in there no????

No. I used it on a different tab that I wanted to underclock to get battery life. The Galaxy tab is fast enough that I dont desire to overclock, so cpuset is useless to me.

First, sorry in advance for the noob questions..
I am a first time Android phone owner. I ended up with the Revo because SWMBO said I could upgrade but only if it was free. Since it was the only 4G phone I could get for free (through newegg) other than the Stratosphere that's what I got. Otherwise it was the Galaxy Nexus for me.
Overall I am quite pleased with the Revo after dumping the stock ROM and installing Gingervolt 1.3. The only thing I don't like much is battery life but I understand that is fairly common among android devices. I suspect the ebay app is not helping but we'll see how it goes.
My last phone was a Blackberry Bold. I gotta say that the Blackberry has it all over android when it comes to email push. I don't much like gmail but yahoo's android app does a pretty good job, so I'm satisfied with it even if it does have to pull the email versus getting pushed. Also, copy/paste is far superior on the blackberry due to the trackball. I really don't like the way GB copy/pastes. It's a PITA.
However, after reading all 86 pages of the GV1.3 developer's thread, I see several references to supercharging.
I am assuming supercharing refers to the ability to overclock and/or underclock the processor. Is this possible with the stock GV1.3 ROM or is there an add on I have to install? I see there are apps in the market to do this. Is this the same or is this something different? I would like to overclock it a bit to see if that resolves the sluggishness the phone sometimes experiences and also see how bad it affects battery life.
In addition I tried to reinstall the stock LG weather widget by using ES File Explorer to put the .apk file back into the system/apps directory but it doesn't work. It won't show up in the list of widgets, etc. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Michael

1. Thank you so much for being dedicated and reading up on what you did to your phone.
2. Supercharging is a script. I believe it is built into the rom already.
3. To over clock the cpu download the blitz kernel and flash. Then download either cpu master or setcpu from the market.
4. Idk how to do widgets like that:-(

Thanks for the response..
1: Yes, I do try to read first before asking dumb questions. Even then I still end up asking them. Thanks for your patience.
2: How do I access it? I've looked all over the place in all the settings on the phone with GV1.3 installed and I haven't seen anything like that.
3: Where do I get the blitz kernel?
4: Fair enough. The instructions I read simply said to put the file "weatherwidget.apk" in the system/apps directory and don't try to install it. But from there I don't know what else to do.

Don't be afraid to ask questions around the revolution forums, we're a pretty friendly bunch and there are always lots of people willing to help or do their best to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for that. As you well know some forums are not nearly so friendly.
Okay so let me see if I've got this straight:
GV 1.3 already has V6 supercharger included, but how do you access it's settings? Or are there settings to access at all?
To upgrade V6 supercharger to the latest beta I need to follow the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379564 right?
To overclock I need to install the blitzkrieg kernal available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371022 and then install CPU tuner to manage it?
How do you calibrate the battery? I read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10 Is that how you're supposed to do it? It looks like that was written for a Motorola device
I also found this thread regarding tweaks and scripts? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269 I'm not really sure how to use any of these or whether I should use any of these.
Another note: I'm typically not a habitual tinkerer when it comes to my phones. I get them setup the way I like them and then leave them alone.
And while I am at it, since it's highly unlikely that LG or Verizon will upgrade the revo to ICS, do you think it will get done by someone here?
Thanks,
Michael

Yeah Gingervolt 1.3 has the supercharger already included, but there's no real way of actually accesing it. You might want to try downloading script manager from the market and see if you can find it that way. But if you want the latest version of the Supercharger, then ya go to the V6 supercharger thread in general and download the latest version. You'll need to uninstall the Supercharger built into the rom first then install the new one using Script Manager. The V6 Supercharger Thread should have all the instructions.
For overclocking, yes that's what you need to do. Blitz will overclock it to 1.5GHz but you can use the CPU apps to change it to whatever you like (1.5 or less).
To calibrate the battery, all i did was download the battery calibrator app from the market. You charge your phone to 100% then hit calibrate.
For tweaks specific to this phone, I would suggest looking at this thread instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420199
We're all hoping MT, the one dev we have, can work some magic and get us ICS but we just have to wait and see i guess lol.
Hope this helped.

Yes it has, thank you.
And mega thanks to MT for all of his hard work. I would have sent this phone back if it weren't for him.
So this is the order I plan to do this. Please chime in and let me know if I am wrong. Hopefully soon cause I am starting now.
1: CWM backup
2: Install blitz
3: Install CPU tuner
4: Install script manager
5: uninstall built in supercharger
6: install updated V6 supercharger
7: Perform whatever build.prop tweaks I think I need to do
8: Calibrate battery
9: Marvel at the new found goodness that is my LG Revolution.

Thanks. I was on irc until the SO high jacked me to go to cold stone. Now she is pissed at me cause I won't get off my phone.
Lots of setting up to do in cpu tuner. Blitz and newest v6 supercharger installed. Phone is running nicely.
When i find work and actually have some money I am most definitely sending MT a donation!
Oh! And my honey bought me a present. Verizon store has the 2900 extended battery on sale at 50% off - $25.00.

No problem at all man. Haha ya there are a lot of things to play around with especially with a new phone. Good to hear it's working well for you.
Yeah MT has definitely done an awesome job. I just wish we had more devs to help out.
Haha very nice. The extended battery is definitely gonna come in handy with this phone.

My first impression when I got my extended battery was how much bigger and heavier the phone felt. BUT, I love not worrying anymore about the battery. I haven't ever considered going back to the little battery!
