Hello, guys!
I guess most of you know about this "magic patch" that significantly boosts Linux speed. It's going to be merged in the 2.6.38 branch and it's shipping with Ubuntu Natty too. But this kernel patch can be applied to a previous kernel as well, just rebuilding it with this 224 magical lines of code.
What I wanted to know is if it's possibile to rebuild our kernels with this patch, if it is already, or if it's possibile but won't have significant boosts on Android devices.
You may read more about this on Phoronix. On the 2nd page there are video demos for lazy ones!
This has been discussed here twice &found not to help because we dont use harddisk.

was it "proven" or "theorized" ?

Thank you, but can you please link the thread with this discussion? I can't seem to find it. Also, this patch regards CPU, not hard disks.
this patch will be officially introduced in the 2.6.38 kernel..
also, this kernel will have about 50% more speed increase, due to the 200 lines patch and another issue resolved after it .. in general the upcoming kernel will be blazingly fast !!
there is a script that tries to do the same as the patch for earlier kernels. which I use on my Ubuntu laptop, and yes major performance increase !!
I tried to apply it to my previous phone (HTC Hero), but didn't work. I also asked Cyanogen on his twitter, but didn't care to give me an answer..
finally I gave up, and decided to wait for the next Android version that will have the 2.6.38 in the future..

I'm using that script too on Maverick! I don't think there should be a significant increase in responsiveness if you apply it on high-end systems, but our SGS might benefit from it (as my old dual core system).
You say it didn't work on your Hero, but were there any errors in dmesg or you didn't find any significant change in speed?

dmesg should no difference. the script just showed a lot of errors.
I tried the "non-Ubuntu" version as described in Webupd8, but still similar errors.
I guess Android place the kernel differently from Linux desktops.
I might be mistaken, but SO kernel uses its. And haven't really noticed any difference with or without it.

please don't spread incorrect facts:
* the "automated per tty task groups" (or autogroup) patch - by using cgroups (in CFS - the cpu scheduler) and thus isolating several taks from each other, giving them dedicated slices of cpu power - allows the system to be more responsive under load if there is a kind of cpu hog (task producing much load)
* the speed increase is due to Nick Piggin's VFS changes and Andrea Arcangeli & Mel Gorman's Transparent Hugepages (THP) support (and of course lots of other changes)

that's correct: - "sched patch : automated per tty task groups (system more smooth and responsive) (v3(since 4_3) and v4(since 4_4))"
so you tried SO kernel with the patch applied and once reverted ?
but - yeah, I got you: I'm myself running a heavy patched 2.6.37 kernel with transparent hugepages, CFS autogroup, etc. enabled - and it certainly can play off its advantage most noticably during heavy system load

So, please, correct my noobiness, isn't Android using TTY shells? If it's not than I understand why this patch can't be applied, but if it is, rebuilding a kernel with just 200 lines more is no big deal and we all could benefit from it. It's not very common for Android to be under heavy load but hey, it's going to be default in 2.6.38, so why not?
There is a better patch :

But I don't know if android uses shells.

Yes, that's exactly the script I was talking about a few posts ago. On my system running 2.6.35, I did not rebuild the kernel with the "patch of wonders" but applied this script. But as you may have read, it acts in userspace which is slightly different in Android (as far as I know it's not using the same environment variables and I don't know about any ~/.bashrc equivalents, but again correct me if I'm wrong), that's why a kernel-oriented patch would be more suitable.
* well, actually newer revisions of that patch don't make use of ttys but of the task session
so basically it seems to create separate groups for each task (or program for simplicity's sake)
(source)
I'm also not sure if current Android kernel revisions use CFS at all ("Android versus Linux?")
laststufo has the autogroup patch included in his SO Kernel but I don't know how to measure its effect ... (whether it makes any difference)
* other options to improve interactivity would be to use Lennart Poettering's bash-approach (the script), like MaXo64 already posted: link
since Android uses Bourne Shell (sh) instead of BASH the script might need to be rewritten
* if it's stable enough on the SGS - yet another option would be to use Con Kolivas BFS

well, you could rewrite that script that it is run as a init-script (afaik in /system/init.d/ )
besides that:
there are stripped down (smaller) versions of bash 4.1* that are known to work on CM6 and the HTC Hero
so it should be a possibility to use that script on stock roms, too
if you can install busybox & root it, there also should be the possibility to install bash

It seems you're very well informed, so thanks for the infos you're posting!
I'm not a coder, though, so I hope a kernel developer could pick this up and go for BFS. You said laststufo already implemented this patch in his kernel, so that's really good! We should just find a way of testing its effectiveness.

Uhm, so it seems BFS isn't stable on our hardware, pretty bad.
======
Preface
======
The script is actually Base on Juwe11's RAM script
which you can found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
==========
Main Content
==========
The adj value of his script is a bit too tight for Our O2X...
so the Launcher is killed quite often if many apps opened in the background.
Here's the adj value changes I made, originally, Juwe11's values are..
"0,1,2,4,6,15" and I change it to, "0,1,2,7,8,9"
the forth value is for HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ, which including the Launcher (I'm using LauncherPro) belongs to this category when you open some foreground application.
the default android value for this is also 7, and I find the OOM value for Launcher is 6 usually... so Juwe11's "4" will lead to our Launcher being Killed, keep it at 7, never tried to have mine killed yet.
The last 2 vaule just make sure the last category EMPTY_APP_ADJ is kill earlier than the previous..
About the minfree vaule...
I change it to "1536,3072,4096,7680,8960,10240" which actually the same values of "Moderate preset" of autokiller
which is enough to ensure most RAM being use before killing for faster task switching...
=====
Credit
=====
!! Credit goes to Juwe11 for his mighty RAM script~ !!
Backup your RAMscript and remove it to somewhere before install this...
install via CWM, it will put the script into your /etc/inti.d/ that's it, boot and try
i just installed it,
i will let u know what are the results,
u are correct, the original script kills the launcher and apps specially XDA
will try this configuration on auto killer memory seems good m8 to set it to moderate

I'm not sure if other Launcher would have a different OOM value~
I have Autokiller memory optimizer which I paid before...so I can view OOM value easily..
But with this Script... I guess really no task killer needed for our 2X already.

so, just edit the minfree value according to the values inside AutoKiller if you find some other setting suits you more
but about the adj value... I guess that part is already good enough
now I find my phone already got around 60-90 free RAM at any time...
Multiple games running at the background while web browsing...
and the Browser usually got a higher OOM, which tends to kill earlier than Games..
it is reasonable.. as the WEB you can load again with the same URL..
while the game got killed, you lost the state... android is doing it's work nicely I guess.

would this script also work on a sgs2, running oxygen aosp stock rom?

same as Original Juwe11's version.
it was suppose to work on any ROM which support init.d
but the values may need some tweaking accordingly.

it should work on all ROM supporting init.d
in case you don't like it, go to /etc/init.d to remove the script and reboot.
it wont modify your file system..
it just override some system value on boot.
if you removes the script.. your phone would back to the state before you install this.
so, just try see if u like, if not, delete it, reboot, that's it.
Works really nicely on CM7 nightly.

Bit of a Dumb question but my phone still has the Stock rom and doesn't have the init.d Folder
if I created /system/etc/init.d and copied the script into that would this work?

You need a Custom Kernel supporting init.d to be more accurate.
and NeoBlaze is a good one to try with.
if you really need to keep your stock ROM..
First of all you still need to root your phone
Install ROM manager from market
flash the Clockworkmod via ROM manager
install NeoBlaze Kernel, then you're ready.
if warranty is your concern, take a look to the Nvflash thread..
O2X is ALMOST unbrickable, almost.

I'm pretty sure that won't work. You need ROM-support as well. (A Ramdisk script which starts the init.d. thing to be even more accurate.) Feel free to prove me wrong.

Ramdisk is a part of the kernel, so if you bung a kernel that supports init.d on (any) rom it'll run what's in there assuming it's eXecutable.
You can do it on the stock rom even, as long as you have a init.d kernel (and create the entries in ../etc/init.d/).
Although I can't "prove" this to you at the moment...
As we all know the gaming at Our Phone isnt really good some report it's Slow beacause theres only 1 core online. But there is an solution for this!
Thread with the Stuff for the terminal Is also here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253921 ) But I was really lazy of doping this commands so, i were Going on the internet and found something to download! I'll put the file into the Attachments! How to install this.....
Requirements;
Root.
A Root file explorer to get into your system files...
A brain to reed this careful.
What to Do;
Extract the Zip Thats in the attachmnts.
Get it onto your phone. (internal External doesnt matter I suggest Internal)
Go to your file explorer And past the file in: System\Etc\Init.d\
And set Permissions!
Reboot.
Enjoy Gaming!
I didn't try it . But it won't work without adding the line :-
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
In the top of that script . Which tells the system to sh this test .
And you forot to mention fixin permission.
Also this needs init.d kernel support or busybox run-parts in order to run this script every reboot .
Correct me if I'm wrong

When you use smanager it's an app that is designed to run scripts .
But if it was in the init.d folder you must add that line to tell the kernel that this test is a script . And the kernel will use the sh binary to run it .

Thank you for letting me know even. And I've made this one beacause your Script wasn't clear for me so i couldn't understand you know?
just for making sure, you guys do know what this script does?
it makes the GPU to run always (!!!) on max speed. this will reduce the battery life extremely.
this script should not be ran at every boot. you better only run it when you want to play games (and maybe reboot afterwards, or write a "undo" script)
@laufersteppenwolf
I think the Battery Drain is not the main Problem. It isn't higher than without that Tweak.
But i have one Question!
Is it possible for you to implement this Tweak in your kernel?
So when you selected the Gaming Governor, that this tweak is also active. And if you turn off the Gaming Governor again, the tweak is terminated.
I don't know if it's possible, so i ask you.
can i use it on rooted v20B locked bootlader? there is no init.d folder in system\etc\, should we create that folder manually?
what is the permission? thanks

"better battery" could only be caused by the first command (unlink). the others only increase the batter usage.
this tweak is (partly (the unlink)) implemented in my rom. but i'm working on unlinking in the kernel of course.
about the idea about gaming: yeah i do have something in mind, but it's gonna be a bit different just wait and see right now i'm working on OC'ing the GPU, and then we can do such changes.

Ezet did a fantastic scripts for iodak 8 in Anykernel post.
With 95 iodak this script the kernel have a better performance and longer battery :laugh:
With 95cvt it has only better battery life but does not change the other parametters.
I have tried it with Mokee kernel and it is also working, so probably it will be useful in other kernels!
Please try it and report.
The script is easy to use:
Extract and paste it in the folder /system/etc/init.d
Be sure the permission are at least 775
Reboot and enjoy
Special thanks to Ezet :highfive:
the script have been modified and the vibration intensity has been removed as the ROM I use has this setting included

You did not understand me. I'm not talking about that. I update the firmware CM every day. Whenever you update the "hands" to copy this file to the system and grant permission is not very convenient. I want to install a recovery, as the kernel, modem, and so on.

Though, battery drain has worsened a huge lot, getting to a -12% in two hours with data disabled and phone supposedly deep sleeping. (used to be <2% before, in the same conditions)
Performance wise I had no benefits at all, scoring a 16620 antutu score (it was 16660 before).
Uninstalled, but thanks all the same, worths trying, maybe it's just me, and the script is easy to install and remove.

Thanks for reporting.
In my case I use latest CM4.3.1 and it has a great improvement with iodak that is the based kernel for Ezet to do the script but also with Mokee kernel that is much more battery demanding without this script.

I wrote my last post in a hurry and forgot to mention that after installing the script I lost RIL signal, which was not happening anymore since I upgraded to CM 10.1.3 Stable.
The only way to get signal back was to reboot the phone. The battery drain can be due to phone desperately trying to get a signal. This behaviour was quite common until Sept.23rd, when I upgraded.
As I uninstalled the script, the situation was reverted to normality.
95 cvt
I have added in the first page 95cvt that only plays with the wake locks and thus give a better battery life but does not change the other parameters also from Ezet :highfive:
Tried it on zaiben rc6+iodak v8, can't feel signifant improvement on battery, best manage to get just 2hr in single full charge, the rest mostly can achieve 1hr+ battery life only.
You guys understand there isnt anything in that script that will realistically increase battery life? Ezet would have made this script because iodak would have applied these parameters at the initrd level since anykernel replaces iodaks initrd, they have to be applied at the android level.
The first command scales the clock speed up to 750mhz on touch input, the second enables cpuquiet (which should be enabled by default, im not sure why it wouldn't be.) the third makes cpuquiet use the runnable governor (I believe balanced is more orientated to battery life, but this can be changed in trickstermod for example)
The rest of it disables ipv6, sets tcp buffer sizes and modifies some permissions, i dont think Ezet would have modified this from iodak's settings, but he can correct me if im wrong

It worked also in Mokke kernels and this why I opened the post...
It improves grately the battery life when the phone is not active and that is also important!
You can also use the other script that is not tweaking the data speed.
Can u repack it for stock roms ? Is it possible?

That's not true. This script does not improve. I have tested several weeks, without success. I am sorry.
Best regards

As mentioned in first post, the script was made by Ezet to improve battery life with iodak kernel.
There are a few that report the benefits of this tweak.
The script save battery especially when you do not use the phone and improves the speed of data when you use it.
I unpack the tweak and try it with Mokee kernel and it also gave longer battery life..
I posted to see if it is the same with other kernels and ROMs.
The result is that it varies from one ROM and Kernel to another.
I am on CM ROM and Mokee or Iodak kernel and it worked really fine.
Nevertheless it seems that from December releases, I would say that the script does not make much difference.
Probably Cm team fixed the wakelocks issues but I was unable to see it in the changelog.
Hi,
is there a list with features/screenshots available for custom ROMs for the HTC One?
Basically I've been testing out all the versions of Stock ROM and finally on 4.4 there seem to be quite a few bugs and other things that irritate me....
What I'm basically looking for is something that will be able to be updated while still being rooted. Also in addition I would like to get OpenVPN working again, a bug in 4.4 seems to not create the Tunnel interface. It would also be nice to have the root file system RW too which I'm unable to do in the Stock Rooted path.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

Have just tried Android Revolution HD, is installed and currently am just checkin' it out So far so good. Does everything I want from it and is extremely stable.
Not sure how to update it though as there is no 'in OS' updater that I can see but probably using TWRP with the new ZIP file will do the trick.
I just tried android revolution HD and I thought it looked pretty good. But I could not get the mail app to set up my yahoo.
