You welcome! No, it is either one or the other. Many people swear by the Voodoo lag fix, but if you forget to disable it you will end up having to go through a lot to reverse it. (Personal Experience )

OK,got it. Thanks
I use Bionix's rom with voodoo kernel(thanks for his great work), but when i enabled voodoo it says '/dev/block/mmcblk0p3' in adb shell instead of '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4' in his thread. I don't know why but it will be all right to flash another Rom. I also searched on google, but thers's no help about it.
Hope this can help someone who were in this situation..
PS: When disabled ,it says '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2' corretly.
It should always say "0p3", you were looking in the wrong spot. It confused me at first too.
Thanks for the Great Work!!!!!!

I didn't have enough room in the ROM Zip to include the data package and still be able to use MediaFire's free 200mb account. I have updated the OP with the instructions on how to get and install the data package.
If anyone knows of a different file sharing site that is as easy for people to download from please let me know and I will upload the ROM with the data package included. (232mb).
I know this isn't a BIG deal. But you added the thing for the Sims 3. When i click on it to download it. I get this message. *There is a problem parsing the package.* Uhh, Is it my fault and didn't do something or what??
I use dropbox to host files... 2gb limit and they seem to download more successfully

I have updated the OP to include instructions for getting the Sims to work. Basically the issue arises from the Sims 3 Stub file being locked to my handset. When it is installed on anyone else's handset it will error out due to the device ID mismatch. The way around this is to install the data package yourself. All of the instructions to do so are in the OP now.

I have never used DB before. Can I set it up so that anyone can download the file, or do they have to log into my DB account to access it?
You just upload and it allows you to share a link... its really easy and links your phone to your comp...

Thank you! I glad you like it. Any feedback is appreciated!

go to the above link and download the latest version of this app called SuperOneClick. The newest version should be at the bottom. download the program to your computer. Unzip the file and extract whats inside. Once this is done open the folder where the files have been extracted to and run the application that says SuperOneClick. In there you should click the first button which says ROOT. Let the program run and do its thing.
if you do not get any errors.. restart your phone.. there should be a couple of new apps there.. one being superuser and another being ROM manager. both are very important. you should now be rooted! (basically same as jailbreaking iphone, or unlocking any phone)
If ROM manager isnt there, go into the market and download the free version. once this is downloaded open the application and in there you will see a button (first button up top) that says "flash ClockWorkMOD recovery". If that tells you that the recovery image has been flashed you are good to go!
certain things are going to ask you for superuser permissions.. a black screen will pop up asking for these permissions.. always click yes... and make sure the remember box IS checked that way it will only ask you once not every time you access that program.
SECOND: You should download a ROM of your choice. i chose to go with bugless beast rom. it is awesome. if you want this ROM you can go to this link ( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...bugless-beast-v0-6-2-1-gingerbread-froyo.html ) and click one of the mirrors to download. this file will also be in the form of a zip file download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. the name of the file is "frg83dv062.zip" ... once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take 30 seconds to a few mins) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the file frg83dvo62.zip. click ok. and it will give you a list with like 10 things that say no n 1 that says yes. click yes. n let it do its thing. once this is done go back and click reboot now. it will take a few mins to load on the reboot because its a total change in looks and framework so let it do its thing.
NEXT: setting up for some optimum speed tweaks.
download a kernel. my kernel i chose to go with is p3droids low voltage 1200 kernel but you can choose any one you want. this can be found here: http://www.p3designs.info/kernels/ .. download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. again plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take a few seconds) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.

nandroid
partition menu

using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the 125-1200-v32kernel.zip file. click ok and then scroll to yes. this will install a new kernel. aka make the phone faster and have better battery life.
restart phone normally.
last thing you really need is a program called setCPU which will change things with the kernel making it either faster or slower. click this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 ) scroll to the bottom of the original post and download the latest versionn.. setCPU v2.10.0.zip.. download it to your computer. open it!.. inside you will find a file that has an ending of .apk. again plug your phone into your computer and open to view files. click the file ending in .apk and drag it to your sd card INTO A FOLDER NAMED downloads. once done unplug and you are good to go. a couple good applications you can use to navigate through your sd card are es file manager or astro file manager both available for free in the market. This will allow you to look through all of you files on your sd card. go into whichever program you prefer and go to the downloads folder. click on the setCPU apk and it will popup saying either browse file or open app manger. click open app manager and then click install.
once this is installed you can set it up like this: it will ask you for superuser permission click yes.
once it is opened it may give you the options to autodetect device. if not hit the menu button on your phone and hit device selection scroll down to autodetect device. it will detect your kernel. You can set the options however you want but i set the options up like this:
max :900000
min:125000
scaling: ondemand
set on boot CHECKED
click profiles: check the box for enable
click add profile
profile: screen off
max: 500
min:125
profile: battery <30%
max: 700
min: 125
profile: temp >40degrees Celsius
max: 500
min: 125
next go to advanced tab
click set on boot box.
sampling rate: 100000
Up threshold: 90
ignore nice load: 0
powersave bias: 0
restart the phone and you should be golden!
Any questions feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.
Works!
Confirmed working on FRG83G (2.2.2)
However, it was necessary to install motorola drivers first (www.motorola.com/support)
I need to add this post to my favorites. Now that I have finished experimenting on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, Motorola Droid is my next "victim."
This is great. This is my first time doing something like this. Been considering it heavily. Now this makes it real easy. Can someone recommend overclock settings for Moto Droid?
Edit: never mind. guess i cant read very well. see his recommended settings. but I guess I would still like to ask what overclock settings everyone else is using. are his good, or should I go higher. Already notice it runs a good amount faster which was my huge complaint about the Droid since the 2.2 update.
Also. had issues installing the custom ROM, just installed the kernel. Read in other places about having to clear data/cache at some point. not exactly sure at which point to do this, could someone help me? because I tried to reboot it after installing it and is just sat loading for at least 15-20 mins before I had to pull the battery. The guide says it takes a few minutes, but I know it doesnt take That long.
Finally getting around to doing this and found out that the clockworkmod isn't available for 2.1 anymore. Anyone got an old .apk that I can install (the new version gives me the parse error)?
sweet thx!!!!
For those STILL having GPS problems after trying to fix, go to bottom of post!! Included is a pic of a lock I was getting indoors with 17ft. accuracy.
So i've seen alot of people asking questions constantly about installing CM7, what is required to do so, and how to install all the fixes and different kernels. I'm hoping that by putting this thread up it will help anyone with questions so it will make installation and modification a breeze.
So first... You're going to need to pick up the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 7.
Here is the link to the thread on our forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061889
and here is a direct link to download the latest nightly:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=vibrantmtd
Currently the latest nightly is #69. (if you are curious to know what is changed in each nightly here is a link to the changelog: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd )
Copy the file to your internal sd card, then reboot into CWM. (If you don't have ClockworkMod installed, go to the market and download ROM Manager, then once installed open the program and install ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant MTD.
Once in CWM, just flash the zip file as you normally would anything else (go to Install ZIP from sd card, then choose ZIP and find the file, then hit yes to update)
Once done you should have successfully installed CM7, reboot and wait for the phone to load up.
At this point the install is done, and you can enjoy CM7, but unfortunatly your GPS won't work and battery life will be horrible... so now you must install the fixes.
First, download the Kernel. You can use either Bali-X found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181167
or Glitch, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
For The Glitch Kernel there are 3 different versions. LL, ML, or HL. To be on the safe side HL is usually the most stable for people.
Download whichever kernel you please and also copy that to your phones internal sd card.
Next download the Kernel Cleaning Script, direct link to download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=628968&d=1308402560
Now after you've downloaded the kernel you wanted and the cleaning script, your also going to want the GPS fix, direct link to thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172428
First lets fix the GPS before applying the kernel, here is a quick step by step:
GPS Fix! Update 7/30
Download the GPSFIX2.ZIP file and GPSD.ZIP file located at the bottom of my post (Make sure you unzip the file) and copy it to your SD card
2)Download a root file explorer like Root Explorer (not free) or ES File Explorer (free) in the market. If you use ES File explorer you must do the following to be able to change the system files:
FOR THOSE USING ES FILE EXPLORER
Open up ES File Explorer, in there hit your Menu key, then go to Settings.
Scroll down to till you see "Root Settings".
Under there you will see Root Explorer and Mount File System, check both of them, then hit the back button.
4)Once in the file manager, go to your root directory then go here: (if you know how to use file explorer or ADB you can simply copy the files to the corresponding locations and restart the phone if not keep following)
Go to the GPSFix2 folder on your SD card, then go to /data/gps/ and copy secgps file
Now go to to your phones root directory, and go to /data/gps and paste the secgps file in there
5)Now there are two other files to copy:
Go to the GPSFIX2 folder, then go to /system/bin/ and copy the AGPSD file
Go to the phones root directory and go to /system/bin/ and paste the AGPSD file in that directory
Lastly, go back to the GPSFIX2 folder, and go into /system/etc/ and copy the GPS file
Go to the phones root directory again, and go to /system/etc/ and paste the GPS file in there!
6)Now we need to copy the file from GPSD.ZIP (Make sure to unzip the file!!)
Copy the file from the GPSD folder, into: \system\vendor\bin\ the same way you did the other GPS Fix files.
7)Download AngryGPS file located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=657133&d=1310879457
8) Install ANGRYGPS.APK, once installed go to your apps and open up AngryGPS. Go to:
Settings - General Settings - Change Operation Mode from MSBASED to STANDALONE. Once done, hit the home key.
As long as you've copied all the files, restart your phone and try things out!
Now your GPS should be working, but we still need to install the new kernel. Hopefully you've downloaded one of the two kernels listed above and copied them to your internal zip folder.
Finally, lets apply the kernel. Hold your power key and hit reboot phone, then a menu will appear, to either reboot or recovery, hit recovery (duh!).
Once in recovery you are going to want to apply the Kernel Cleaner script first. Go to apply update from zip, then choose zip file, then choose the kernel cleaner script... Once you've done that, go to choose zip again, and choose your kernel. DO NOT REBOOT INBETWEEN THIS PROCESS!!!!!
Let the kernel install, once done go ahead and reboot the phone.
If all went well within about 5 minutes your phone should be up and running again.
The last thing your going to need to do is install GAPPS, since CM7 obviously comes with none. You'll notice you have no market.
Here is the latest GAPPS, The zip is a flashable file through ClockWorkMod. Just go into clockwork, and find zip and install it like you did the rom and kernel. Reboot and you will have your market and GApps back.
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERVOLTING
You have to follow the instructions for either Glitch or Bali kernel here. SetCPU will NOT work for Glitch, and Voltage Control will NOT work for Bali.
OPTIONAL FOR GLITCH KERNEL (Bali below)
If you want to adjust CPU Voltage AND/OR Clock Frequency you are going to need to download VOLTAGE CONTROL from the Market. It is free as well. Make sure you use Voltage Control. Other cpu programs have been reported to have problems from what i've read.
If you are not sure what you are doing, then ask!
Here is my voltage control settings, this seems to be the best for stability:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975
200: 950mv -75mv = 875
100: 950mv -100mv = 850
OPTIONAL FOR BALI KERNEL
You must install SetCPU, which is available from the market, but is not free.
You can also download it here directly from for FREE, copy it to your SD Card and install the apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=648354&d=1310073004
I'm not sure of good overclocking/undervolt settings on the Bali kernel as I haven't fooled around with it more than to know that it works well with CM7.
**If someone has fooled with it please post up some results so I may put them here for recommendations.**
KNOWN ISSUES
Currently the Glitch V11 has a bug where the keyboard can pop up on random occasions. This will be fixed in V12. It's not a big deal.
Replacement Camera
In my post i've includedthe MIUI Camera APK.
You can just copy the MIUICamera.apk file to your SD card and install it. You will be able to use both the MIUI camera and the stock camera. The only problem is the video recorder of the MIUI camera doesn't record 720p. For that switch to the AOSP camera.
Hopefully taking some time to write this up can help alot of you follow a straight set of instructions instead of having to bounce around and look from topic to topic on what to do.
I'll continue to check on this thread and make sure if anyone has any questions I will try to help and answer them.

Thanks,i did flash Glitch HL kernel,and latest nightly,but i have some questions,can i do gps fix later(after flashing kernel),and i found that my cpu`s max is still set on 1000Mhz,like in stock cm7 stock kernel,so is it necessary to change it(for example to 1200Mhz)for better battery life?
And again thanks a lot for posting this,you hepled me greatly and spared a lot of time in searching.

You can do the GPS fix whenever you please. Just remember that everytime you flash a new nightly of CM7 you're going to have to apply the GPSD file again... Everytime you flash a new nightly it wipes all the old system data, GPSD is unfortunatly one of the casualties.
What program are you using for adjust your CPU frequency? You should be using this:
-Voltage Control : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731
If you want to gain more battery life you shouldn't be increasing to 1.2GHz, that will not help your battery life any.
If anything leave it at the stock 1GHz frequency and apply undervolt to the processor... of course you will have to do some testing because undervolting can cause stability and lockup/reboots.
Here are my undervolt settings, so far no locks-up on this combo for about a week now:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400mv
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350mv
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225mv
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150mv
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975mv
200: 950mv -75mv = 875mv
100: 950mv -100mv = 850mv
Im running High Leak, using this daily at 1300mhz no problems yet... Running a good movie on your phone, like an mkv file will really let you know if your settings are stable.. I've found undervolting anything over the stock freq. doesn't seem to be stable.
Does this help you any??
if i flash a custom kernel, bali for example, i need to do something else to flash a new version of cm7?
thanks
No, you can install a kernel on whatever nightly of CM7 you want. It's just best to have the latest nightly. I do remember hearing some of the earlier nightlys of CM7 like lower 30's were having trouble with different kernels...
Just remember that if you flash a new nightly you will have to fix the GPS and Kernel again though.
Everytime you update to a new nightly it deletes everything unfortunatly.

ok! thanks for the fast reply
thanks for doing this!
quick question, when I try deleting the old GPSD file in order to move the new one it says I can not delete the file, then when I try to overwrite it, ES file explorer says I can not move the GPSD file. How exactly am I supposed to replace the old file with the new? I already have angry GPS installed and I also have installed the bali kernel. I've heard good things about bali and battery life so Im hoping it helps out, cause I've always had bad experience with battery life unless I shut off data. Any suggestions for good settings to use for bali?

Any suggestions for good settings to use for bali?

In settings select "mount file system".
Make sure its in write mode not just read only mode.

Ok regarding ES FILE EXPLORER....
I'm going to update my first post as well, but here is what you must do.
Open up ES File Explorer, in there hit your Menu key, then go to Settings.
Scroll down to till you see "Root Settings".
Under there you will see Root Explorer and Mount File System, check both of them.
Now you can go ahead and write to the system files... Before they were read only which was why you couldn't touch them.

Can anyone else confirm it won't show up in the app drawer? Works perfectly fine for me, and to others who I have helped with this.....
EDIT:
Do me a favor, see if its actually installed. Go to Menu, Manage Apps, then see if AngryGPS is on the list under downloaded.

thanks finally was able to do it. and angry gps worked fine for me
awesome guide!
You should add the permissions to GPSD file to the guide. It does't work with the default permissions.
already did lol. I'm updating as I go. Just put up latest GAPPS also.

Apologies if this has already been covered, i have searched beforehand i promise.
I have a a Galaxy running on Stock Gingerbread Firmware, and while it is slightly better than Froyo for lag issue, is nowhere near as fast as it was with OCLF oN Froyo. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 weeks before going even slower than before he fix so i removed it (after some messing about).
From what I have read, changing or patching the Kernel seems to be the best way to fix the lag issue, but there are so many different kernels from various developers, I really don't know where to start.
Can someone recommend a Kernel that will help fix the lag issue and get the phone working to it's full potential (it was lightning fast after I first installed the OCLF)?
I have installed firmware with Odin, rooted and installed OCLF previously, but that is about as far as I have messed about with my phone, so no expert. So if you can point in the direction of a guide to install too, that would be amazing (though i could probably find myself, once i know what Kernel i'm using)
This is the full details of model/firmware etc:
Model: I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernal: [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
Thanks in advance
**ok, just realised i posted thread in wrong forum, should have gone in Q & A, apologies. Unfortunately, can't delete or move**
Try semaphore 1.8.2bm, use ext4 app v1.3 to convert to ext4. Use acid tweak to remove journals from system and cache file systems. Set lmk to 56 mb, use screen sensitivity fix, use smartassv 2 and sio and you'll have a fast phone that is solid with great battery life, remove profiles from setcpu if used. I also use darkys zipalign script and 3g script, works really well
Edit
I'm using stock odexed jvt with custom theme, all Samsung bloatware removed.

Thanks have found the kernel will give it a try.
Since i posted, I have installed a SpeedMod Kernel CWM which i used to root and change to Ext4. I assume once i change back to rfs it is safe to try this kernel?

Thank you for your advixe, I have made of the suggested changes and it is running noticeably smoother and quadrant test up from 965 (without mod) to over 1600.
The only thing i haven't done is the Acid Tweak, I'm not sure exactly how to install this. I found the download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266715
Can you advise how i install this please?
Also what would you recommend to remove bloat apps?

I think you need to convert to RFS, then flash semaphore 1.8.2bm using SGS flasher (wipe cache & dalvik cache afterwards). One you are on Semaphore or Galaxian, you don't need to convert to RFS, simply flash!
Then use ext4 app V1.3 to convert to ext4.
I've uploaded acid tweaks zip file, apply this zip file from CWM.
Reboot, edit the /etc/system/init.d/*acid* script, comment out the line for the
/data file system. I have uploaded my acidtweak file.
Also uploaded extra scripts from here, there and everywhere. Please remove the ".txt" file extension and make the files executable. Probably best to try each file one at a time so you know the effect.
If you are running Semaphore 1.8.2bm, use smartassv2 and sio, and the sensitivity tweak, SD card tweak, I don't think you need any other tweaks, but you can try!
Note that the tuned gsp.conf file is for the UK, I normally get at least 8 satellites very quickly with an accuracy of 10m (sometimes 5m)
Note that the 56Mb script sets the LMK value to 56Mb and should run later on so overwrites the semaphore value (usually set to 48Mb or 64Mb)
Let me know if you need any help
Thanks for that. Though I think you may have overestimated my knowledge lol
So far, I have installed the Semaphore Kernal, Used Ext4 to change the filesystem to Ext4, Applied some of the mentioned tweaks in Semaphore such as Smartass2 etc.
I haven't cleared cache and dalvik, would it be safe to do this now? What does this do?
Now the part where I struggle:
I have no idea how to edit acidtweak file (though I did try applying the zip file and my phone would no longer boot, getting errors about not being able to mount data etc)
The uploaded scripts: I can remove the txt extension, but how do I make them executable? Do I then copy them to my phone and run them?
Once again, cheers

press three power button, enter recovery mode, choose apply zip file, choose acid tweak zip file. Reboot. You can now copy the acid tweak script into /system/etc/init.d and remove the . txt files in this directory will run when the phone boots. I use root explorer to make files executable, I think the free es explorer app may do the same.
You can copy the other files into this directory and enable then by making then executable. Long press on file, options, click on executable boxes (3 off)
If you are a noob, always best to backup /efs folder, you can do this with root explorer, long press on folder, copy, go to sd card, paste

Have had to flash the softwre again to get it working.
Had you converted to ext4 before flashing acid tweak from cwm?

I have been looking through the recent ICS threads and people have had alot of out of memory problems, so I thought I would post this easy to understand tutorial (well I hope it will be easy to understand)
Before starting, on Miroslav's Project Icecream Swift, you need to download busybox installer and install version 1.18.2, busybox included will not correctly determine minfrees.
First download the latest version of V6 at the end of this post, then copy it to your SD card and run it with Script Manager (from the market).
Choose your prefered scrolling speed and in the latest version its pretty much automated, you just have to say yes no a few times but it will auto detect the best settings based on the RAM of the device.
Also do not superclean and reboot, we need to do something else before we reboot.
Ensure you have a file explorer that can view the /system partiton before continuing.
On your phone browse to http://android.mimic.ca
Then click browse and choose your file explorer, and find services.jar in /system/framework then upload it.
After this the site will modify the services.jar and offer a download for it, to make it easy lets just use the update.zip so select that and download it.
Using the stock browser atleast it will go to /sdcard/download.
After this reboot to recovery, scroll to mounts and storage and mount /system manually (when I did not do this it didn't write the modified file) then install the zip.
Wipe dalvik cache and reboot, first boot will take a long time while its upgrading applications then run the V6 supercharger script to confirm you are 100% supercharged and you have your hard to kill or die hard launcher.
Note: On AOKP (atleast this version) because it doesn't have init.d (think its that one) before you first reboot to install services.jar you will need to browse in script manager to /data and find the 99SuperCharger.sh file and make it run on boot to get 100% supercharged.
I don't know if its important but every new rom I use I repatch services.jar just to be safe.
Any questions post here (also if the file doesn't download let me know and I'll upload it and post the link.)
Recovery zips for AOKP and Icecream Swift services.jar can be found below, just mount /system manually and i"nstall zip from sdcard" sorry it took a bit
For me i just use swap works good enough
For me not. Even if i use swap when i try to use gplay and listen music, music app closes itself. (Miro's latest ron)

Thats because swap is not technically used as RAM, what it does is suspends background apps using up RAM, then puts that state in to swap, the apps cannot run from the swap partition, so if you are listening to music and using the browser you will notice this, if you have twitter open, then open a link from a twitter post, the state of twitter gets pushed to the swap partition, to allow the browser to open and run, you then close the browser and it pulls twitter from the swap partition back to RAM giving the illusion of multitasking.
V6 actually gives multitasking by making sure android does not close apps when you have a fair amount of RAM left.

Don't know why but everytime i try to use the script with latest miroslav ICS i got an exception when try to appy supercalculator minfrees then a reboot.
With latest version of the script i can see original minfrees= "1,1,1,1,1,1,1" and when i try to apply new one = Poof! reboot!
Did you installed another busybox or something?... This rom without the script sucks in multitasking matter. (open one app and the others will be closed, is monotasking )

I'll check it on new version of miro's rom tonight when I charge my phone (battery is dead right now) but I normally use the default busybox, it could be that the default has been changed on this rom, download busybox installer from the market and try a version on there, they are all complete so should have no problems on that end, lemme know if it still doesn't work.

My issue was cause by the minfrees calculated by supercalculator (option 10). Using option 2 is ok but, still have 9-5mb free and if i open 2 apps -> one of them close itself (and like you said, swap does't help with that)... so i have to go back to sdsl 2.0 :/

Ok I just resupercharged my phone running miroslav's rom, and I did see your problems, I fixed it downloading busybox installer and using busybox version 1.18.2 and it will detect your minfrees.
Also updated OP with this info and the patched services.jar files.

Launcher is DIE-HARD! ie. SUPERCHARGED
but after says:
OOM Grouping Fixes ARE NOT in Effect
...
Current values DON'T MATCH Prior SuperCharge!
this means that didn't worked???

Did you use busy box installer to install busy box or are you just using the version pre installed? The CM9 one will not work with V6.

Using root explorer check /system/etc/init.d and see if there is a supercharger script in there.
If not try supercharging again, reboot and check, if its still not working find the 99supercharger.sh script and select "run on boot" and reboot, it should work after this.

Before you select "run on boot" just try to supercharge again, something could have messed up a little when you applied the minfrees, init.d scripts should run on boot anyway.
