Hi and to the case...
Everything was ok until today. I'm on JVP / Semaphore 1.3.0a with some scripts in init.d folder like ramscript. I don't really know what could happened, but scripts are no longer working. When I try to load them manually via script manager most of them respond "permission denied" or "are you root?". Ofc I'm root
I tried reinstalling busybox, tried delete it and reinstall the kernel (which have it's own version of busybox). Busybox is in the /sbin directory installed by kernel. When i try to install it (1.6.2) in other directory - /system/xbin ; /system/bin it give the same result - scripts not working.
If anyone could help I'll be grateful.
Tried Galaxian GT kernel few minutes ago with same result - scripts can't be executed.
Check the permissions of the scripts. Change it to rwxrwxrwx.
Also uninstall all extra version of busybox. Semaphore kernel has an embedded busybox version.

Thank you for reply.
Double checked that, permissions are ok. Busybox is only installed by kernel in /sbin. Scripts are not running and I srsly don't know why. Till today everything was fine

That is very good question!
I didn't change sh#$, excuse my language. If I think about it... I only installed Titanium Backup Activator (needed root who knows for what). I wanted to test Pro features before buying cuz TB is expensive, wanted to know if I really need the Pro features.
Maybe that activator did something? But everything beside that works. I'm so confused. I only know one thing... I will never try pirated apps again :/
TB has his own busybox (1.18.4). But it should not interfere with Semaphore ones (it does not on my phone).
Try to delete this file:
/system/xbin/busybox
It should solve the problem.
Btx, you can use last version of semaphore, it's compatible with JVP.

Will try after work. And thanks for the headsup on new version. With the last one I have ... yeah, problem with scripts, so I sticked to 1.3.0a.
Busybox issue. Install busybox installer and install 1.17.x in /xbin. Remove all other instances of busybox and it'll work. Make sure the permissions of the scripts in init.d is rwxr-xr-x.

Hello people!!!
After installing all custom ROM's i am back to good old 2.1 eclair on my X8.
Lets face it, its fast, no camera, fm, wifi compatibilty issues....and its VERY PRETTY
I am trying to install JUWE's ramscript but as far as i can tell stock ROM does not have init.d ability. I did create a "init.d" folder, 777 permissions, and copied the script there.
The result is that it doesnt work, doesnt change the minfree values....
So i was wondering....is there any way of putting the script somewhere to be executed at boot?
PS: i have tried script manager, put root , set at boot etc etc ....but still it doesnt work.....
anyone can help?
Hi.
I found this thread speaking about another init.d script to optimise the system. Should be universal, regarding the modifications made.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380006
Didn't try it yet as I run a script dealing with memory, and it's not compatible it seems.
Zipalign fire example is also commonly present in some ROM or power pack.
So before using it check that there are no conflict between already present files in your ROM and those provided by the zip.
This is an automatic installer for the lagfree script and the dalvik fix build.prop changes.
It does detect if you're using ICS or GB and does set it up accordingly.
Explanation and credits are in post 2. Manual instructions on how to apply this without the installer are at post 3. Have fun!
Most easiest way to check if the tweak script works is to open terminal before installation and type:
Code:
cat /proc/sys/vm/*
After flashing the zip do the same thing again and check if the numbers have changed (which they should have done).

tony and i have worked out a flashable zip of init.d script + build.prop mod
there are two types of installations. choose one you like.
* system installation *
buttery-system.zip : edits /system/build.prop & installs /system/etc/init.d/99tune
to revert it, simply re-flash ROM.
you have to flash this every time you flash a ROM.
* user installation *
buttery-local.zip : edits /data/local.prop & installs /data/local/userinit.d/99tune
buttery-local-remove.zip : reverts /data/local.prop & removes /data/local/userinit.d/99tune
this changes /data/ and therefore, the effect is permanent unless you change it manually, which is the reason for buttery-local-remove.zip
# do a nandroid backup always.
# it probes if ROM is GB or ICS and apply mod accordingly. (only tested on ICS. please test it and feedback on GB.)
# to check if it is working, do the following in terminal
Code:
getprop | grep dalvik
getprop cm.buttery.active
cat /proc/sys/vm/*
!!! this script is based on vork kernel installer. the credit goes to vork team (benee and kiljacken)

and of course to pastime1971 who did the most work for this great installer. Thank you so much!
What does it do?

dexopt flags:
m=y -> use mapping, optimize the dalvik code
u=n -> NOT a uniprocessor, optimize for multicores
v=n -> do Not verify , breaks some old app compatibility but dalvik get a bit more speed (tonyp: doesn't work in Android 2.3!)
o=v -> im not sure, i think this sets optimization level to the highest. but again, not sure. alternate is o=a.
might wanna look into the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio tweaks, cant remember exactly and im quite surprise many roms dont have these tweaks in the init.d scripts
it specifies how much cache/junk data to keep in memory. if the ratio is high, after a while, so much crap is kept that it waste your ram and slow the phone down.

Manual instructions:
Read this properly! This guide requires some knowledge of editing system files and running scripts.
It wouldn't harm to do nandroid backup! I didn't do one and everything worked fine - but it's on your own risk! You have been warned!
(if your phone won't boot anymore wiping /system and reflashing your ROM should restore everything without you loosing any data).
First we need to edit some dalvik dexopt flags in the build.prop (you can do that with the build.prop app from the market):
backup your build.prop
edit your build.prop
ICS: change dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=.... to dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n
GB: change dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=.... to dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,o=v,u=n
right below add: dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
ICS only: change windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=... to windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=300
comment out dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit if it exists by placing a # in front (or delete the whole line).
save
Now Reboot to Recovery and Wipe Dalvik + reboot
Now you need to download and extract the attached tune.sh script and place it into /sdcard
Either run the script with Terminal Emulator or with the Script Manager app (don't forget to use root)
For the first method: Open the "Terminal Emulator" app and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/
sh tune.sh
You're done. But you need to run the script after every reboot - or just place it under /system/etc/init.d/, rename it to "90tune" and set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x", then it will run automatically at each reboot.
Have fun!
@tonyp....
well just that I am a bit busy at office and saw ur thread fortunately....I would wait for people to give their comments, experience on GB (as I use DJ 1.5 beta from Carburano )and also the CWM flashable file so I dont need to do all that hardwork and reserve that for the office
Thanks once again mate
As soon as I'm able I will try and test this on GB and ICS. Maybe in the evening.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Tony

I'm "porting" over some information from the G2x forum (link) which should possibly help against the well known decreasing speed of the phone after some uptime.
At the G2x forum they're pretty excited and talking from buttery smoothness.
Thanks goes to flag0 and batoo.
The original thread of the attached script (by batoo) can be found here.
Read this properly! This guide requires some knowledge of editing system files and running scripts for now.
Edit: Good news, I linkes an app to edit the build.prop and included instructions how to run the script. Now it's pretty straightforward and you should be done in 10-15minutes.
It would be possible to create a flashable zip which does these steps for you, but creating a script which edits values in the build.prop isn't that easy and takes some time. If it works well it will get incorporated by the ROM devs anyway - owain already said at the G2x forum that he will include it in a later build.

I only tested it with CM9 (owain build #77).
If you want to test that out in GB (either Stock or CM7) you probably shouldn't touch "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" (don't do step 5 above!).
Please give some feedback!

I tried it with owain 78, I placed the script in init.d after editing build.prop and before rebooting, and it works perfect for now, no lag at all. Thanks tonyp,

Make sure to set the permission to rwxr-xr-x
Code:
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/tune.sh
DAMN! Went back to CM7 because of this lag.
CM9 was unusable for me because I needed my phone to run properly at work.
I'm some kind of forced to flash
Don`t feel a need to do anything like that for CM7
Runs like a charm for the last few days.
I created a flashable zip to install the tune.sh script into init.d: http://d-h.st/NFq
You still need to manually edit the build.prop. I probably won't create an installer for that because this will probably get incorporated into the ROMs anyway.

Has anyone tried this script on Gingerdx???
Unlimited Scripts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969364
Basically the installation method says to delete all the scripts installed in init.d...
I tried doing this and my mobile went into a bootloop...
In gingerdx, there are some scripts that are installed in init.d....are they safe to delete and use these scripts instead??
Thanxx in advance

If I'm not mistaken there are some init.d script that you can't delete but it's up to you to delete and use the Unlimited Scripts. Just make sure that you make a back up using recovery in case something goes wrong.
Unless you know what you're doing, I'm going to have to advice against it
