First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

Have fun!
going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes
voip: yes

Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?
ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!

Hey guys, I have HardSPL installed and am fairly seasoned in the cooked rom kitchen.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a good ROM? I know that mostly all of them have something good to offer. I was using NATF's 4.3 and now 4.5 but after lag issues and the like, I've chosen to use a new ROM, the Elite Project RC3.
Lets see how this turns out, as I remember reading somewhere that the EPRC3 ROM was notable for its speed. Speed is very important to me lol. I don't like seeing my texts type themselves in 30 seconds after I did it on the keyboard. And sometimes music just won't play or something and its very annoying, other times wifi doesn't work accordingly, things take long to load up, its rare for me to even browse the Touch Flo 3d, like swipe my finger from "home" to "programs" without some lag...on 4.3 this was not a problem but on NATF 4.5 it is.
I don't use GPS, I don't really use much of anything that sets this phone apart lol.
All I do is:
*Browse the web using Opera/Skyfire
*Youtube
*Text
*Phone calls
*Music player (Don't have an iTouch anymore...)
* Wifi (Don't have a 3g/data plan
* play some of the games and use some onboard memory.
* Take pictures/videos and the like.
I don't really use much of those programs that are their (Save a few) and I would love to have the option to be able to call and text via an internet connection rather than the phone's signal, since my school gets no reception but has wifi all over hte place.
Basically, I want all that I use, or most of it, with fast responsiveness. I disliked all the AT&T crap too and don't want that back...
Right now Elite Project is working pretty good, an upgrade from NATF which was giving me issues. I appreciate all the work put into the ROMS though.
Can you please recommend me a ROM to suit my needs?

does anybody have it?
i was hoping to find this also wanna install his rom but dont wanna lose all my current settings
no input on this?
Would like this also
Hi would like this as well.
OR does anyone know of another program that does a similar job.
I would like to be able to save my settings as I flash from one type of Rom to another i.e an Energy rom to a Grzegorz10 to a Dutty etc.
I know that it works Energy to Energy, but its nice to be be able to try others without starting from scratch each time.
Is it possible that doing the above would cause stability issues?. Then I would understand why there appears to be no other program?.
The main settings that I want to save are;
Owner settings, Bluetooth, Wifi, Email, Shortcuts.
All the others are sorted by PimBackup and CHT Editor.
Have tried googling but just get the same results (its how I found this thread)
Any help greatly appreciated.

Announcement: I highly suggest you flash void. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281
Well, here's one more ROM for you guys: Megatron.
Why the name? Seemed only logical considering the name of our device, Optimus One.
It's basically a ROM tweaked for performance while retaining a decent battery usage. Also, with this ROM, you won't need to flash any other tweaks.
I daresay it's so far the speediest ROM for LG P500.
Features:
v2:
to be updated
v1:
root + superuser + busybox
APKs deodexed + zipaligned + png-optimized
apps2sd + dalvik2sd [1]
performance tweaks: (JIT, hardware acceleration, etc) [2]
includes drellisdee's custom kernel [3]
kernel repacked to set onboot the scheduler to interactive (tweak)
applications removed: App Advisor, Layar, Twitter, Facebook, LG Home, Think Office, Update notifications and Twitter [4]
applications changed: Genie widget (now transparent), Music (imported from CM)
applications added: Titanium backup, File Manager (imported from CM) and the awesome LauncherPro [5]
ringtones, notification and alarm sounds added (including iPhone ones)
changed boot animation to a more cute one
auto-overclock to 728Mhz and possibility to easily revert (minitron tweak) [6]
[1] Rather than move_cache_sd program used in another ROMs, I use another method for moving dalvik-cache to SDcard since sometimes using the aforementioned program won't work successfully. It's a known issue of Dsixda's kitchen.
[2] Heapsize: 32MB; without a doubt the best value.
[3] Check the original thread here and if you can, buy him some beer.
[4] I left CarHome due to popular demand.
[5] Titanium backup will allow you to uninstall any system application and to backup the ones you install. LauncherPro is in my opinion, way better (performance-wise) than ADW.
[6] As far as I've read, 728Mhz is stable for everyone til now.

Requirements:
In order to flash this ROM, you'll need on your device:
Having read the feature list and notes above
Root (check thread)
Drellisdee's custom recovery (check thread)
Class 4 SDcard or higher (bench it with h2testw)
Megatron (download it here)
How to flash:
First, reboot into recovery via 3-button-combo, ADB, terminal, w/e.
Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).
Connect the device to PC, copy Megatron over to the SDcard, disconnect.
Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"
Reboot
Read important notes below
That's it.
Important notes:
* There were some reports on other ROMs that battery usage was very high, especially on standby. While this ROM should perform better, it won't still have as good battery usage as stock ROM mainly due to the scaling governor being set to interactive. Also because of this reason, benchmarks could be slightly lower. I however promise that the overall experience and snappiness will be quite satisfying.
* I've made an easy and friendly way to decrease the clock back to stock 600Mhz. Instead of needing to use SetCPU, you just need to create a folder in your SDcard called "minitron" (without the ""), then reboot your phone. Your clock will be now back to 600Mhz. If you wish to revert it to the default 728Mhz, just delete the folder and reboot your phone again. Since the voltage is the same for both clocks, battery consumption should be around the same too. If for some odd reason, you get a boot loop, it means your phone doesn't support (*gasp*) a 728Mhz clock. To avoid a boot loop, go back to the custom recovery, toggle sdcard-pc connection and create the "minitron" (without the "") folder. Reboot, should be fine.
* Remember, you won't need to flash anything else. Everything's here.
As you already know, I cannot be held responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone by following these instructions. Every step taken is of your entire responsability.
Testimonials:
* "I noticed that the phone was another! much better performance! I did all the tests and there are no problems!"
* "This Rom is just... Amazing!!!"
* "Feedback: working nicely untill now. So far so good - the best ROM yet"
* "Great work , phone is workin faster and booting 2times better now great work."
* "So far I can say it is arguably fast. Phone is super snappy and responsive."
Time to see for yourself.
Just remember, it's still an experimental ROM.
-reserved-
Thanks for the work, though I think I'll be passing for right now.
Auto OCd kernel with way to revert is a bad idea at this point in that kernel. I would do it the other way around. Let it be a "MegatronMax" (or something like that) folder to ENABLE the OC, but leave it at 600MHz till more testing has been done. Just because the volt is the same doesn't mean its going to perform as well long run. Not even sure Interactive will be better than say conservative because of the excessive ramping up and down in freq. I have seen in interactive. I guess bottom line is, you shouldn't include a beta kernel yet in your ROM and default it OCd. At this point in development I think you should let the users decide if they want to test out these kernel features themselves because it is easy enough for flash the kernel back and forth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866774
Plus the author of the kernel requested that you DO NOT include it in ROMs, but rather point users to that thread.
Other than the kernel issues, seems like it will work well for those who want those features.
Just my 2 cents, seems like a decent enough ROM, like to see how it works for people.

Been using it for days and no complaint.
Like I said, it's a performance-oriented ROM. Default OC makes sense to me.
If people are scared of long-term effects, they should Minitron-it then.
Anyway, I'll update the thread's title.
And interactive is way better than anything to be honest. It will even be the next default scheduler in CyanogenMOD.

Didn't read that and it's the first request of the kind I've seen.
For user's comfort, custom kernels often tag along with custom ROMs. Protocol has always been to credit the author, point to original thread and urge for a donation. At least to what I'm used to. However, if he insists on this and contacts me directly stating he really doesn't want his kernel included on a ROM, I will abide and remove the whole ROM since it loses its raison d'être.
Definitely not trying to flame or troll man
That was just my opinion on the matter. I am sure there are many people who will install and enjoy your work.
It is not uncommon to not want your work bundled, but at least you gave credit. I see too often credit not even given for others discoveries and hard work.
I still say default OC is a bad idea until we understand the full long term effects of having this hardware 700+MHz, but then again, this will start getting it tested.
Have installed the ROM. Works Great, No problems so far. Like the LP. But I would like to have an option to install themes and so one. That would be fantastic.
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved
There is a reason I set max freq on boot to 600mhz in kernel as its to prevent users from getting stuck in a boot loop at a speed thats too great for their device. If you kernel panic it will reboot back to stock max as as had it set up. I did also have in my post not to repack kernel in rom and posted source so rom makers could build their own variant to use. I'm not going to ask for you to pull rom however as I see no reason for that. I just made it so it would reach as broad an audience as possible even those that don't want to overclock as its optional as I had it setup. Also, by using koush's any kernel its compatible with virtually any rom.
Noejn, I've learned the hard way just because your phone runs ok at xxx freq doesn't mean others will.
hello Noejn be honest, I have updated this roms just because I had the famous problem "reboot (reset) the phone" as soon as I put everything, I noticed that the phone was another! much better performance! I did all the tests and there are no problems!
the only thing, there is more and reset!
is a week that I bought, and I can not figure out how to solve this problem you know anything Noejn
However good the ROM recommend it!

Yea, no worries. Sorry if I seemed harsh in my reply, not my intention.
I do have a different opinion though, slightly more optimist.
Since the voltage is the same for both clocks and the cpu only peaks if called, I don't think there will be much overheating. Also, I've never heard of any MSM7227 that toasted itself or his hardware neighbours.
That being said, you may think it's a leap of faith but I find it perfectly safe to use a 728Mhz clock as default. I may be wrong but let's hope not.

I understand that.
So far, the least stable clock that someone had on your awesome kernel was 748. Even so, as a safety measure, I've set it @ ~728. If for some reason there's someone out there that gets a boot loop, he just have to go to the custom recovery, toggle the sdcard-pc and create "minitron" folder. Done, 600Mhz!
Also, thanks for officially letting me use your kernel on this ROM.

Regarding your reboot problem that happened before, even on other ROMs, sounds to me it is a phone matter. Shouldn't you allege malfunctioning to your carrier and get the phone switched?

* Forgot to add to features a different boot animation
i say thumbs up just for the name , not to mention the rom
I know there are some differences, but would this work on an Optimus T (P509)? I've been looking around for a rom and can't seem to find anything as promising as this. Any help is always appreciated.

Yes, I know, but that wasn't my question. I understand that the processor in the O1 is MSM7627 and the Optimus T has a MSM7227. Since the kernel was made for the O1 would I need to find a different compatible kernel for this rom on the Optimus T or would this OC'd kernel work? I'm willing to test it, but I just wanted an opinion before I started.
Can you add an option on this ROM ? I would really like the softkeys to be always on.

thanks for the tip.
do games run better with this rom?
Indeed it is better... ive used setCPU for since i first starting modding, and recently a friend turned me onto SystemTunerPRO & i gotta say its a million times better!
OC's ALWAYS stay, never gets killed by the system, UV's correctly, and has awesome organization!
Has the ability to controll what apps launch on boot, control memory usage, edit the MinFree settings, adjust the task-killer, just wow... yeah too much to say.
I suggest this WAY OVER setCPU... you should check it out...
https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNjYzcxLnBtdy5wcm8iXQ..
(if you dont want to pay the measly $5... Google for it)
-or if you use something better... tell us about it.
Imho, if you like the app and use it, you should just pay for it. The author has put time and effort into the product that has benefited you. The money he gets may inspire him to make more or better products.
Bought this immediately.
It trumps; Taskiller, SetCPU, Startup Auditor & Titanium Backup. I've uninstalled all off those.
It's an all-in-one interface with very simple and direct options. Not recommended for Android newbs. This can and will brick your **** if you don't know what you're doing. I love it. Excellent app.

1. task killers kill your battery, not your tasks
- by killing tasks, you are forcing android to kill then reload applications that would normally save more battery by being left in system memory (this removes the need to reload data)
2. what about system tuner pro makes it better than TiBU??

3. yes. VC is by far the easiest to use and if you use it correctly(usually by itself), you will have no problems
4. system tuner is a heavy user of system resource...the ONLY feature i've found that it has that others dont (at least i havent found a replacement yet) is its ability to display current CPU frequency...i used system tuner pro alot when i was undervolting my cpu and stress testing so i could see how hard the phone was working
The *Nix philosophy: Do one thing and do it well. I used System Tuner and found it's interface to be awful/ugly, and didn't really fulfill any need that a more focused app didn't. System Tuner really can't do all the things TiBu can, and voltage settings should never be "killed" by your phone since they're written to file.
I still prefer SetCPU. I like an app to be organized and the one you recommend is not. It's messy and sloppy.
There is NO backup app that comes close to being as perfect and bad ass as Titanium Backup.
Can't get STP to save on reboot completed
Hope this thread still attracts some attention, so I don't have to clutter up threads with a new on on same program
Using Bricked V5 kernel and Insert Coin Sense 4 Beta 12 ROM
Both STP and Antutus' CPU Master do not save selected settings (max / min speed, voltages etc) over reboots, although this is selected (on STP have "on boot completed" selected, and on CPU Master it's a tickbox as with SetCPU)
Only SetCPU saves my preferences over reboot.
Can anyone tell me how to overcome this. In particular I want STP to work over restarts, so I can tweak voltages as well as clock speeds
Edit: Oh dang I found this thread searching for STP, and overlooked it is a Samsung thread,. Doh!. Will repost in Sensation forum

TB dev started developping this app when Android started existing and receives a lot of support from Google. Yes it's far more advanced: the only feature that STP doesn't have (yet ) is the multi-version backups.
Messy and sloppy... Maybe, a matter of opinion and taste. No question on that.

Interesting... Have you contacted the devs of those apps to see if they can help? When you tested these, did you kept all 3 apps installed and configured?
I believe everyone is entitled to have preference, but know one thing for all 3 devs it's the same complexity: every kernel, every phone behaves differently. Not to mention ROMs or even possible user errors.
And as you have a Sensation, STP was partly developped on this device, and this device requires a specific work-around to be able to read and write CPU settings!
If you do want STP to work and are willing to spend a little time investigating, contact the dev I know him and he will do everything to help (I know cause it's me).

2 philosophy: some users prefers all in one apps, some prefers app that focus on one thing.
My 2 cents: the more apps, the more consumption you get. The worth example is apps reading battery data... If you have one that reads it ok, if you have 5 apps: 5 times the consumption.
Noted a user saying a task killer is bad: if you know how to configure it it's much better than the Android integrated one which will kill widget apps at will and blindly or even apps you use frequently but will always leave Google's app running even you never use them!
And STP can configure its own task-killer and the OOM Android integrated one.
STP is less than one year old, and is only my second app in Java and on Android. Still a lot to add to it, and still some imperfections, but working on it.
Now I fully understand all opinions expressed here. They are very reasonable too.
Let's meet in a year from now and see if I can change your opinion on this.
In the mean time, enjoy your apps or my apps preferably
I have grown to like all in one apps, such as this (system tuner) there is another that I'd like to point out called ROM toolbox, I use it for everything, back up apps, root browser, ad manager, boot animation installer, voltage controller, mem controller, ect. It's nearly got a function for everything, and I think people should take a look at it, it's nice, and all my stuff would be lost without it

Looking for tweaks for system tuner pro.
I'm using system tuner pro on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and really enjoy it so far. I also use Titanium Backup and SetCPU which both do exactly what I need them to. I use stp mainly for the ability to monitor my cpu, memory, ect. I am looking for tweaks to set to get my tablet running even smoother. Right now I'm running stock HC 3.2 ROM with pershoot's kernel oc to 1.4ghz. What can I do in stp to optimize my settings further? Changes to governor, on demand? SD cache size and IO scheduler? That type of thing. I would appreciate any helpful tips especially since the developer has been on this thread and seems to be very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks was looking for a site to learn more about this app! I am a new user to the andriod platform and find this app a great resource. Thanks for the great app and keep up the great work. :good:
Cheers
p.s. I have the Pro version
Great App thankyou .
I'm new-ish to using this as my main control app,although I bought it over a year ago,but unless your almost Of dev standard it can get a bit confusing, it's looking and is easier to use now smart phone screens are alot bigger.
I do still use T.B for certain things it is already setup with old backups and cloud feature use,I realize this app can do most but I've always used T.B.
Anyway my question probably easy but I'm using a dual core cpu but can't find how to change cpu1, I can change cpu 0 and see the frequecies for both but only the sliders for cpu0!
I've just thought my phone is rooted but locked bootloader so maybe because I'm using stock kernel maybe it's only letting me change 1cpu?
Its not even showing sliders for 2nd cpu though . e
Any help appreciated.
I'll probably need more help but I want to get this sorted 1st .
Since I stopped using multi task killers ,auto memory killer pro,cpu control (set cpu ) n so on, now using System Tuner Pro, Juice Defender Plus and Tit Backup Pro that's all I'm able to find then address issues so much easier.
Also Dev is very helpful ,I left Comment on play review and was emailed within a day ,so thanks A1 customer service .Thank dev and any one who can help me.
thank you for your mind bendingly difficult work on this app!

DEEEZZO!! Damn Dogs, yall just got served! HAHAHA:laugh:
seriously though, I know this is an older thread, hopefully someone listening. I had some questions about what a few thing meant in system tuner pro...which I think is a super hero app. I have only recently discovered that my lg thrill is a power and complicated device, even though I,ve had for over a year. before it was just a really cool phone. In the past two months I have bricked I have bricked on of my phones or the other
11 times-i bought another one so i wouldn't have to worry about not having a phone-half a dozen of those times was exploring system tuner settings. while I am a pro at flashing and recovery, i know virtually nothing about my device, and would love to know what some of these settings do. how to optimize her for each of the different ways I use her. that said, what is the difference between default and recommended setting in sys con?

The default is what's been configured on the Kernel installed, either by manufacturer or dev on XDA. The recommended is actually some settings that have "proven" to work on most devices. Make sure to have a NANDROID backup or a way to recover in case it doesn't work for you. Once applied you can review the changes (they appear in blue) and reset them as you wish. It also resets completely on reboot to be safe, until you press the 'on boot' button to restore them on each reboot.
PS: If you like System Tuner, you might love Android Tuner, the merging of System Tuner and Battery Monitor Widget. If so there's a special offer/discount for existing users.
In the market? Or can I purchase direct from your site (preferred).
What is the function of the I/O scheduler and the difference between noop/deadline/cfq?
BTW, I don't just like STP I love it! I'm constantly fiddling with it. Seems like a very complicated project. I will get the other after I submit this post and check it out. Thanks bro!

Most of my apps can only be purchased on Play Market for now. Android Tuner is available on SlideME now, which offers various payment methods (PayPal, Amazon, etc).
I used to sell on AndroidPIT, but they are very bad for business so I stopped, and I would strongly recommend not to purchase with them, only means troubles. SlideME offers guarantees like on PlayStore, which AP doesn't.
That said, I might publish my other apps on SlideME if it turns out well.
As for IO scheduler, it's the way the kernel will organize (schedule) IO operations on SD cards, noop, deadline and cfq are the most frequently available and used. deadline is said to be the most effective in a multi-tasking environment, whereas noop might create lags in some circumstances. Opinion and experiences differ largely, so might be best to test them.
PS: I would be happy to sell direct, but that requires an infrastructure I don't have. Relying on PlayStore or other distributor makes it easy to publish and also distributes updates.
Thank you sir, the only reason I was wondering about an alternative place of purchase is because, well long story short, my buddy shared a launcher apk with me and the play store got into my phone and froze not only the app, but my whole phone. After reboot all was fine minus the app. I guess it seemed kind of like a search and siezure with out a warrant. I felt a bit slighted and thought I would run an experiment and see if I can produce a comparable experience with all my various types of tech mediums without a single shred of google interface of any kind....I have to admit, it is not easy, they have really intertwined themselves with eanything. No, I'm not paranoid, just trying something new.
BTW, GOOD FN JOB WITH AT!!! Quite an amazing job you have done, any others besides the two? You ought somehow do a game of sorts, like an android app building or developer challenge/puzzle type thing with the purpose of training greenhorns interested in learning and honing veteran skills as well. Sorry for the spam, again thanks, and nice work.
Ps, I did relapse a lil and purchase AT from google...sshhh, don't tell anyone!haha
