requires Root (Superuser/Busybox), and a kernel that supports "init.d" scripts (script files that are stored in /system/etc/init.d/).
The script also has a partner called V6 supercharger they go pretty well together heres a link to the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox
this script is so easy to use but users might have problems using it so here is a easy install for you all to use i have converted it to run on non samsung phones by renaming the file and removing processes connected to the stock samsung apps
Have Clockwork recovery installed
Download the update.zip from the bottom of the post
Reboot into recovery and install the update.zip
Now for the really easy part
Using Root Explorer navigate to ect/init.d and select mount RW now scroll down to the "97loopy_smoothness_tweak" file and open it in the text editor within root explorer and you will see the 3 main sections to the script they are called
At the start of the script you will see this
Code:
USER_LAUNCHER=""
you need to add the launcher you currently use so that it gets locked in
Resident system apps
Other system apps
Other apps
in the 3 sections you will see lines one code that look the same which are
Code:
if [ $PROCESS_1 -eq "0" ]; then PNAME="com.android.phone"; NICELEVEL=-20; if [ `pidof $PNAME` ]; then renice $NICELEVEL `pidof $PNAME`; PROCESS_1=1; P_CHECK=`expr $P_CHECK + 1`; fi; fi;
All you do to add a app you want to keep in memory for as long as possible is to edit the script and change these values for e.g the stock dialer to go contacts
Code:
PNAME="com.android.phone";
to
Code:
PNAME="com.japps.contactpro";
that will keep Go Contacts EX locked in the background so everytime you wish to use the GC EX dialer you wont have to wait for it redrawing before using it.
To find the process names goto the data/data folder and all the folders you see in there are the process names used by the apps e.g. the com.android.vending folder is the process name for the vending.apk aka market app.
Just to let users no this script will not auto start the apps on reboot and once you first select the app you have added to the script after reboot you will have to wait for the app to redraw the app again into the memory slot once it has done that the app will remain in a cache type(hidden) form until you run the app again then it will return to ram in the foreground.

What this script hopes to achieve:
- Entering your PIN with minimal/no delay/lag
- Minimising delay with lock screen pattern/unlock (not the time it takes to wakeup, but the touchscreen response lag)
- Having smoother notifications on the status bar, and smoother pulldown menu response
- Minimising Launcher lag while Media Scanner is running (can scroll through screens without heavy pauses)
- Minimising lag when scrolling through the market while icons are still loading
- Installing/Uninstalling apps while continuing other tasks
- Minimising/eliminating intermittent lag spikes in gaming
- No delay in being able to answer phone calls
... you get the idea

Install via CWM as update.zip ???
Have you tested this? I'm doing backup right now, and I might, but I'm looking at the script, and it says it's for Galaxy S. There's also a part on one of the first lines where you have to specify your launcher. Also, I don't think the scripts it our init.d even begin with "S_..", but rather with a two digit number, e.g. "06swapon".
EDIT: I edited the file to point to my launcher "com.fede.launcher", and touched nothing else. Named it "18smooth" or something of the sort, and put it in /system/etc/inid.d. The system failed to boot(never got past the second "LG" screen. Maybe it's the rom I'm using, but this is not working so far. I hope your promised tutorial is of use.

yes i have tested it and it works i will be uploading a modded one for the update.zip but if you install it just rename it to 97smoothnees, it asks for the launcher you currently are using e.g. adw launcher but if you have any worries wait until tomorrow for the tut
I think this is helping with battery management because my battery seems to be going down slower

Should this method not eat battery rather than conserving it? As apps run in background correct me if m wrong....
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
What this does is speed up your tab. Its crazy how well zepplinrox got this to work, but it makes the tablet fly. It doesnt require more battery, nor stress the hardware any. It alters and fixes the OOM groupings, lowmemorykiller and the priorites. I don't want to get into the nitty gritty, but do it and I'm sure you will be amazed!
If you do not have the init.d folder, then you need to load a custom rom. Some custom roms will have this folder. Read on page two, zepplinrox explains it more.
Here is the process to get the supercharger to work and stick on out tabs. Its all spelled out on the original post ( by zepplinrox ) , but this is the short and sweet version.
You need to be rooted and have busybox 1.18.2 or lower.
First off go here and download the script : www.mediafire.com/?w6682pwu52ty5o6
Then download this app : https://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result
1. Then you run the script manager and find the V6 script that we first downloaded.
2. When you click on the script, the manager will open,( Make sure the run as root box is ticked under the "run" button ) just hit run in the top left of the screen.
3. Then, you have to just click in the black anywhere and the keyboard will open. Select a number 1, 2, or 3 , this is how fast the text will scroll. Being the screen is so big, select number 1. You will be fine. Hit enter on the keyboard, then lower the keyboard away.
4. You can now see a lot of options, don't get nervous. The script does it all itself. Being that we have so much ram already, the minfrees are already huge, but can be bigger . So options 1 - 7 are smaller than the stock minfrees. You can use either setting 8 or 9. I'm using the setting number 9. So to select the minfrees you want ( either number 8 or 9 ), click on the screen to bring up the keybpard, and hit the number you want ( again 8 or 9 only )!
5. Once that is done you will see the script run some info in front of you. It will say to reboot but don't yet. Type the number 17 in, and you will see it say bye etc. Ok, once it says bye, hit the back soft key in our launcher. Now navigate to this on the screen that in front of you. Keep hitting back until you get to the ''/'' of the tablet. Rom there you will click on ''system'', then click on ''etc'' and lastly on '' init.d '' . In there you will see a file called '' 99SuperCharger'' . Click on that and the script manager will open again, but you need to select certain boxes this time before hitting run. When the screen comes up hit '' run as root '' and '' run on boot ''' and hit save. Once that is done hit run ( nothing happens here, so don't expect to see anything scrolling) , then back out using the back arrow in our launcher. Then reboot your tablet, and that's it. The custom minfrees now stuck, and your supercharged!
Thanks to zepplinrox for this script!
P.s. to find out of the script stuck, reload the FIRST V6 script. Select your speed like we did, then once it is all loaded up you will see a line in there that says prior mifrees ( prior is still your current ) . Just match that up with the number you selected at first.
Thats it.
Here is the op on supercharging, from zepplinrox forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Sent from my Galaxy Tab!
so what does this do exactly?
In a nutshell, its a memory manager.
It will speed up your phone, multiasking etc. Its kinda crazy how well it works, and does not require more battery life like overclocking does. What it does it rearrange the OOM groupings, lowmemorykiller and priorties.

Im getting permission denied during the last step (run as boot etc.)
Any ideas? My tab is deffo rooted as other apps that require root work fine.
Cheers!
I haven't got the init.d? What's wrong? I'm using broadcom KH7.
Here is a screen shot.
same for me, i dont get the init.d folder. I saw many permission denied lines in the script, so i run the script again with root. It doesnt help and i restart my Tab... and now i am in a bootloop. So i restore my backup, but can someone tell me what i do wrong?
Thx in advance

I also have the same problem, running stock rom.
Is root required?
Hey sorry guys, I'm out of the house. But yeah root required, I think. But not 100% sure as I have always been rooted. And as far as not seeing the init.d folder.. are you fellas all the way back to the '/' in the script manager? Go system, etc,init.d and the 99SuperCharger should be there. In sure why you can't see back that far. Are all or you guys rooted that are having issues? The ron type doesn't matter, as these folders are universal on all roms.
Also I too received some denied lines, but all is working as should. So that shouldn't be an issue.
Sent from a miui powered HTC Evo.
Yes, I am all the way back at / going to /system/etc and I could NOT find the init.d folder after running the script. I am rooted and using the Broodcomb ROM for GT-P7500. I have the same problem the other guys have. Help please!
i didnt have it either, the init.d folder, so i ran a kernel tweak from the creator of V6 scrpit and that created a init.d folder for me then i ran the script again and there it was the 99Suercharger file. So i think you can just create the folder your self, no need to run the kernel tweak, just ad new folder to system/etc called init.d that should fix it for thoose that dont have it created by the script.
And did you noticed a good speed improvment?

How do you create a folder?
Without needing to use nstools, how do you set SmartAssV2 as the default governor and set blink to on?
Just one less app needed if I can do it without...
I'm a complete noob, so I may be completly wrong...
I have ICSSGS RC4.2 on an I9000. Had a quick look at NSTOOLS code, specifically SettingsManager.java and it appears that they are appending the governer you choose to a file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor. I changed the value in this file to "lazy", fired up NSTOOLS and it had changed in there as well.
blink on can be set in file /sys/class/misc/notification/blink
1 = on, 0 = off.
the time out value can be set in /sys/class/misc/notification/blinktimeout
The value is in ms eg. 1600 = 1600ms = 1.6s
Since I have NSTOOLS installed the one thing that I may be overlooking is that these files may be NSTOOL files which are read by some executable they have installed and runs on reboot.
If you haven't installed NSTOOLS and the above files exist then there's a fair chance that altering the values will do what you want.
The above files may not have write permsion so you ma have to change permisions to edit them... I had to for scaling_governor but not for the others
As I said at the beginning of the post I may be completely wrong, so mess with this stuff at your own risk and let us know if it worked
Edit: It just struck me. If the above is true (ie those files are system files) then Installing NSTOOLS, change the settings to what you want, check "Set on boot" in the settings tab and uninstalling NSTOOLS, it may leave tose files modified.
This method may prevent you from having to mess around with those files
---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------
Just tried it and rebooting causes scaling_governor file value to revert back to "ondemand"
There are some kernels that let you do this, but I'm using glitch which doesn't and I don't want to change.
I can set the vibration intensity by going to /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty and changing the value to about 25000
Only problem is that this is set back to device default after reboot. Is there a way to manually set it permanently?
Cheers
Pete

If you wanted you could make an init.d file to execute on each boot. Use a file manager and create a file called 99VibeIntensity and enter the code below. Paste it in /system/etc/init.d. Then change the permissions to -r-
Try this code here;
#!/system/bin/sh
#Changing Vibration Intensity...
echo 25000 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty

is that right? doesn't seem to work, but i am pretty noobish. The system has created a file called 99VibeIntensity.bak, if that is telling at all.

No worries man we all are at one point. Also it doesnt HAVE to be called 99VibeIntensity. the number at the beginning just tells the system in which order to execute the scripts. so make sure there isnt another one with 99 as the prefix. Just to be sure, call the script "S99VibeIntesity. Also make sure the file has no extension like .txt etc.
EDIT: Im sorry i told you the wrong permissions. After placing the file try this from terminal emulator.
chmod 644 /system/etc/init.d/NameOfOurScriptHere or use file manager to set permissions to -rw-r--r--
then do a reboot and see if the value in the file has changed.

whatever i do doesn't seem to work. i tried setting the permissions to rx-rx-rx because the other scripts in init.d have those permissions. i tried changing the script a little to match the attachment in that other thread, but no dice. im still googling hard - cheers for tips so far
Try full permissions. My script in init.d to activate swap at boot has full permissions. Also remove the space from in between /system/bin/sh line and between our next line #changing vibe intensity.

I'm not really from this forum but someone linked here from mine, anyway in case your writing your script on windows use notepad++ because the regular one doesn't work well.
second try this script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 60
echo 25000 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty
Permission should be set rwxr-xr-x
You might want to name it S1XXXX to make sure it runs amongst the first scripts to eliminate any endless loop scripts that may be running and blocking the initiation of later scripts.
Make sure your kernel supports init.d scripts.
The script will run approx 1-2 minutes after boot to make sure any other startup script that changes the value did it's stuff already.
If all else fails you could use this script without script manager and set run as su and on boot.
which romis best for jelly beans for captivate....plz post the link

Very good point, i never thought of the loop scripts. Good call my friend! So maybe he should try to make it execute first.

First off apologies if it's not OK to bump and old thread and then go off topic a bit.

I tried to see if i could just do the same as in this thread (im a total noob) but when trying to navigate to the correct directory there appears to be no 'duty' folder and so i couldn't find the correct thing to alter.

hi, im an overclocking/underclocking maniac I go with root explorer and change my cpu profile ( interactive ) settings, to respond faster but to stay less time to max value. also i change the settings for the cpu to sleep sooner when the usage is low to conserve battery this way.
But after reboot , my settings are rolled back at their "original" values. I tried to set the permissions only user can write , but it happened again. Does someone know why and how can i make my changes permanent ? thank you in advanced.

try using one of the many apps, vanir might not be saving the settings and applying at boot. Or you could write a simple init.d script to echo your frequencies much earlier in the boot process.
