Update on Beta 4
It seems I'm getting mixed results with these betas. I'm not sure why this is occurring, some people have been able to get this working right while others have had a hard time with it.
Currently, I'm rebuilding the entire program. This takes a while because I have to figure out how to pack all these options into the program but make it small enough to where it will run correctly.
I will say that some of the beta features are coming back out...one of them is the search for a partition code. I suspect that code may be leading me into issues with certain platforms, so I'm going back to the 2.7.5.2 method of mounting (mmcblk0p2 or mmcblk1p2).
Also, parts of the code will use Busybox Ash (the only code that won't will be starta2sd, which will still use Bash for the time being). The startup code will definitely use Busybox Ash.
Until then, here are the links to the the last two betas and the last official release:
Version 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
Version 2.7.5.3 Beta 03 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta03-signed.zip
Version 2.7.5.2-1 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed.zip

Beta 04 took longer than I expected to release. I have done major changes to the code:
1. New commands: convert-ext4 - This will convert your EXT3 partition into EXT4. Just a friendly reminder on this command: Not every rom supports EXT4, so it is possible to go into a boot loop if you switch roms. Use with caution.
2. Reworked convert-ext3 (convert-ext4 gets similar code)...now a flag file is set before the reboot (no conversion is done before the reboot). At load time, the conversion is performed. This takes longer in the reboot process and you may think your phone has locked up...wait about five minutes before doing anything with the phone.
3. Repair is rebuilt...now it uses existing commands to repair the setup (reinstall, remove, cachesd, cachepart, nocache, datasd, nodata). Definitely shrinks the code.
4. Added fix_permissions program to the package. This may help with Superuser issues when using the datasd feature. It is used in reinstall, remove, datasd and nodata.
5. a2sd install is back!!! Both a2sd install and a2sd reinstall do the exact same thing.
6. Dalvik heap code has been shrunk and now creates a file called dalvikheap. Actually, the code has been doing this all along (since about 2.7.5.2, I think), but I never put the code in to use the file.
7. Low Memory Killer code has also been shrunk and uses a file caled dtset_lowmem to set the low memory killer parameter.
8. Replaced Busybox PS function with Toolbox PS. The issue with Busybox PS is that it gives a false reading when I look for android.process.acore (which is the main program when the GUI starts up). If that is present, the program thinks you are trying to run Darktremor without any command line parameters. This was because Busybox would report the process was there when, in reality, it wasn't (validated this when my phone was boot looping.) Toolbox's PS reports the correct setting. This should fix the bootlooping issues some people are experiencing.
9. New commands: usedtbusybox and usedefaultbusybox - these commands may help in diagnosing issues that is may be related to the native Busybox on your rom. a2sd usedtbusybox will use the Busybox that is packaged with Darktremor. a2sd usedefaultbusybox will turn back on the scan behavior of the program introduced in Beta 03.
10. Support for Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7 and earlier has been discontinued. To upgrade correctly from one of those versions, use version 2.7.5.3 Beta 03b or earlier.
11. Finally fixed stalled boot issues (or at least my tests with several roms says so.)
See the change log for additional details.
You will notice that if the program runs repair and finds a problem, it will correct the issue and reboot. You will see a second reboot when the dalvik-cache clears (this is to fix timing issues with CyanogenMod...I can't control that startup as well as I can other roms). This only happens if repair is ran or you flash a new rom (as repair will realign all data). If you are upgrading from a previous version of Darktremor, you should not see the reboots.

This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a multipurpose program that primarily allows a user to execute applications created for the Android OS on their Secure Digital card (with the proper setup...more on that later). But, Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability. The goal is to be able for all users of the Android OS to be able to take advantage of a method to run their applications from a secure digital card.
But just because the Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability, doesn't mean it isn't packed with features:
- Move applications (both free and paid) to the Secure Digital card.
- Move Dalvik Cache to run either from your Secure Digital card or from your cache partition and clears the cache on demand.
- Boot Loop Protection: prevents the phone from boot looping in the event the SD card could not be mounted.
- Dalvik JIT for faster performance on Roms which support it.
- User selectable sizes for the Dalvik heap sizes, allowing a user to freely optimize their system.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card and sets how often the swap partition is utilized.
- Automatically fixes configuration issues.
- Users can check the free space on their SD card and check the installation to make sure all is setup correctly.
- Runs ZipAlign on demand...this makes your programs load faster.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
- New logging features assists in troubleshooting issues.
- Commands to set the Low Memory Killer feature at boot time. Great for those people who are the "set it and forget it" type.
- And more...
Darktremor Apps2SD is not the same as Froyo Apps2SD. Froyo Apps2SD creates a secure folder on the FAT32 section of your SD card (this is the section that you see when you mount your phone to your computer) and stores the programs there. This is nice as you don't have to do anything special with the phone, but it isn't backwards compatible with older versions of Android (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair) and, because of the way Froyo works, older programs not designed for Froyo will automatically stay on your internal storage (unless you install a program that forces the move to your SD card).
Darktremor Apps2SD takes a different approach. Based on the original CyanogenMod works, Darktremor Apps2SD uses symbolic linking to force Android into moving your applications to the SD card. Because Android will not allow anything to be ran from the FAT32 partition on your SD card (and, in Froyo, it will only allow you to run programs from a special folder), Darktremor utilizes filesystems called EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4. Each one of these filesystems is native to Linux (the operating system running Android), which allows you to run programs from them (same as, say, a computer running Ubuntu). This method is completely compatible with all versions of Android, including Froyo. In fact, you can run both the Darktremor Apps2SD and Froyo Apps2SD at the same time.
Check out the list of Roms that either have Darktremor Apps2SD installed or are compatible with Darktremor Apps2SD. Click on the link labeled ROM List at the top of this message.

Desire aint listed??

I don't have any roms using it in Desire...hence why I'm posting this. But:
Kurt666
- For testing on Pay's ROM for Desire v1.4 (HTC Desire)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So there is one rom that is tested with it.
I've checked a good segment of the roms here, and it should work just fine, especially the 2.7.5 version (as the swap, dalvik-cache and the applications are all separate functions now).
I'm trying to expand the program's scope. I have six different platforms that run it (21 roms total) and I have one Desire rom tested...but none actually using it (my fault...should've expanded this a month ago).

Backing up just now my Open Desire 1.5 on nandroid.
Going to be your guinea pig for Open Desire (AOSP)
I will paste the logcat output of my first boot (if there will be any)

Will try to test on modaco r3.1, wish me luck

It booted in the same time that it booted without applying the tremor script, and I think that the logcat was quite similar too.
And the free space reported is the same than before.
So, it didn't work, or it was already working before
EDIT:
I decompressed the script inside OSx, and I looked inside folders.
Well, it seems that the script didn't run at all, since I have no "a2sd" neither "app2sd" on my /system/bin.
REEDIT:
I ran it again, now it seems that it actually ran.
I will provide my new pastebin later

http://pastebin.com/mx3PsHwZ
First run, then I got a reset. Then it reset-loop. With the same message.
Sorry man, it isn't quite ready for AOSP it seems
Those are a couple of after-install output, it doesn't do much though.

Please provide logcat, otherwise your test wil be useless to the developer.

This sounds very interesting, and I would like to try and help when I can, which probably won't be for a couple of days.
But........for when that day comes.......how do I do a logcat?
Sorry, I am still relatively new to the whole Android thing.

decompress android sdk (check on google for the sdk package, is quite small), then go inside the "tools" folder (I assume you have already your drivers installed).
then go on command prompt, and
Code:
adb logcat
will show the logcat.
Code:
adb logcat > bootlog.txt
will create the boot log (you won't actually see anything on screen since the output is redirected on the txt file.
You can:
start your phone
type adb logcat
CTRL+C when the phone is booted.
It will automatically stop if a reset occurs.
Then you go on pastebin (search on google) and paste the txt inside the pastebin.
And you can provide here simply the pastebin url that you can find after the submit button.

Nope...I can tell that's not my script. That must be what's already in Modaco...which means it's another file I haven't caught on the renaming script.
Are you using Modaco?

Last time I saw that message, root wasn't working correctly. At least it wasn't working correctly on my phone.
Is there something different relating to root on these phones? Does the boot sequence have root access to /system (or is this phone have nand protection on it? I know the Evo has that but can be circumvented).
That part is just a piece that moves other apps2sd/dalvik-cache/zipalign programs so they don't interfere...the 2.7.5 Preview Fix 2 also removes those files during the flashing process, so that part really is only a failsafe.
The main program comes after that part (04apps2sd for busybox run-parts, a2sd for direct run).

The important piece is the part after the realignment program...the one that starts with:
[*] Starting Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7.5 preview fix 1
The lines after that one is the Apps2SD portion.

I can't understand what you mean.
Do you need some other line from adb logcat output? Since there is no more lines after the * line it just keeps resetting.
Or are you telling that it's installed? If so, why it keeps resetting our phone on froyo?
If I can help please send more flashable version or update this thread, I already have my nandroid so testing it for you will be very quick.

EDIT: double post...sorry.

**********PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING*********
Please use Cyanogen's recovery image!
Make sure you have a partitioned SD card with a FAT32 partition and a EXT3 partition. (EXT2 is supported also) If you do not this ROM will install but you will have little space left due to APPS2SD not running. I personally like the clean slate location for Hero and then i use the widgets i need if any.
When I install I check the ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot.
A walkthrough by forum member sxfx is posted one post below for install.
ALSO run as few widgets as possible folks!

Ok Guys.
I created this thread cause in the JACHero thread on at least every page everyone asks how to install it, what am I doing wrong, and why is it broken.
So let me give you step by steps of what exactly I have done for me and others to run Hero with out a problem. I will also create a thread with step by step on how to use Ubuntu Linux Live distro to partition your card.
Things you will need to make this work.
Your Brain
G1 Phone
SD Card reader
And the files I included in this thread.
My phone right now is running.
JACHero 2.3
NEW SPL
cyanogens recovery 1.2
8gb class 6sd with Swapper(Swap file on ext2 sd)
setCPU slightly overclock.
Results.
Ever since I did my new Buttons, and the SPL I included in this write up, I have not had one problem flashing any hero rom at all on my phone, nor did I ever have problem actually running hero roms.
So here goes.
First before you partition your card or do anything make sure your card is at least portioned to fat32, don't worry about any other partitions yet.
OK once you do that go ahead and take the radio zip file I am including in this thread and flash it on your phone.
But first make sure you don't already have new radio installed which is 2.22.19.26I THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. To check what radio you have, power off your phone, and power it on while holding the camera button.
If you do have new radio you can continue on to flashing the new SPL.
Flashing your SPL. (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE NEW BUTTONS INSTALLED)
Ok this is where it might get a little tricky, and you might require a SD card reader I know I did and frankly I think this is the best way to do it and I recommend every time you do put a new update on your sd card to update your phone do it through a card reader.
Now after you flash your SPL you might or I should say more then likely will get stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen, this also might happen after new radio flash in the previous step. If this is the case do not freak out it's normal and your phone is not bricked, but this is why having a sd card reader is important.
Ok so Here is what you do after you have flashed new Radio and SPL(Note:The steps on running Linux live distro and using it to partition your card is coming up). Boot up Live distro of Ubuntu, when its done booting, go ahead and go into the partitioning program while your sd card is hooked up in the computer.
Go ahead and set up two partitions at this time. One EXT3, and of course the other one Fat32. Your ext3 partition doesn't have to be all that big. I actually have mine set up to 512.
Once you are done creating partitions, go ahead and put the latest JACHero on the FAT32 portion and flash away (don't forget to rename to update.zip).
At this point if you follow all of these steps there is no way possible that your phone should not boot right into the system to run the initial setup.
These steps pretty much walk you through steps as if you were starting with a phone that has completly nothing on it.
Also the first boot up after flashing the new ROM, might take a few mins at the HTC screen.
Once your phone loads up and you go through the setup process go ahead and run swapper, it should be an APP that's already pre-installed.
Once you run swapper go into the setting and change the location of your swap file from /sdcard/swapfile.swp to /system/sd/swap.swp
Here is the reason why. The default location is your FAT32 partition. If you all of a sudden mount your phone to the computer with the swap file running on FAT32 you will corrupt your sd card, and then you will have to wipe and reinstall everything.
If you set the location of your swap file on /system/sd/ that's actually your ext2/3 partition and never gets mounted and you never have to turn swapper off.
Well I hope this helps some of you out. I will be writing the walk through on loading up live distro of Linux and partitioning your card sometime today.
I have used this method on a couple different phones and it has worked each time. Also I really recommend installing cyanogens recovery 1.2, as its an excellent way of making a back up of your phone and doing future flashing.
If there is anything anyone thinks that could be done better feel free to post in here.
Remember different people have different ways. I have posted this way cause it has worked for me on my phone and two other phones I setup, and each time there was no hicups.
FILES:
Radio 2_22_19_26I
NEW SPL
CM-Recovery-1.2
Ubuntu Linux Download
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for anything that you might have done to your phone by following these directions. Like I mentioned before so far every time I have used this method, I have had nothing but success.

Yeep I was running into the same problem. It wasn't working for me in upper case either. It started working once I did it as
su <enter>
chmod 777 /data/app <enter>
exit <enter>
exit <enter>
I think it should be noted on the first pase that chmod 777 should be in lowercase.

AppsToSd search that in the market(old version)
I didnt buy the new one, its in the new and improved apps to sd thread
Alright back on topic

Okay so 1.4 is out now. He says Apps2Sd is included. I've never used Apps2sd and really don't know how to. So do I have to do anything with the 1.4 build to move it onto my sd card or will it automatically do it for me?

Run the APPS2D app with your EXT2/FAT32 partitioned SD card in and reboot that is all.
To make sure it is mounted go to the Terminal and type df, you should see
system/sd with your partitions size attributes etc
EXT3 support is next on the list.

Perfect thanks! Is this the only difference in 1.4? So I have to create the partition myself first correct? I thought Apps2sd created the partition for me. Oh well let me go create the partitions lol.
PS: the CHMOD command doesnt seem to work in upper case. Lower case only.

So will this new Rom with the app2sd app move everything but leave rosie.apk & launcher on the phone memory? Or is there something else that needs to be done?

question, if my apps are already in ext2 (system/sd/app) will it work? or they will now be located in : system/sd/app_s ?
thank you

Somebody respond with how much available space they have left after running the APPS2SD.apk

i've chmod 777'd the hell outta my system/app folder and I still can't download apps. I've run the command from terminal on phone from ADB Shell, from inside the folder, from the root, as root every possible way and I still can't download anything.
Would it make a difference if I had tried downloading from market before applying commands?

I did a lot of testing and left all the files needed to keep this ROM stable and FAST under /data/app_s
Somethings work better under the app_s directory un-linked.
Everything else is under /data/app like a normal ROM so normal APPS2SD methods work. Since Marcus already has the app up I just included it...its only 18kb anyways.

This isnt off topic but an inquery to the EXT3 comming soon
Here is a question. Everyone is head over heels about using ext3 which is understandable. But why when i create and use an ext3 partition, why does everything running from my sd slow down by far?
i have 2 partitions on my sd ones an ext2 ones ext3 if i switch my link to m ext partition everything is fine.. if i switch it to my ext3 it gets about .5x slower

If it means anything i tried to download an app then forgot about the commands, typed the commands and it worked.

I've posted this before, but got no response.
Is anyone else having trouble getting wifi turned on? I can actually use the Wifi tether app, but just trying to turn it on myself, it fails.
Thoughts?

[ROM] ZeroXd - Puzzles are FUN [8/13/2009 - 2:30PM EST]

http://twistedumbrella.googlepages.com/index.htm
All the necessary files can be found there, including my GScripts.
This is also where all the download links to NEW versions are posted
HEHE... Oh, you wait... Just wait.... New things.... Shiny, new things....
Housekeeping:
Back everything up. This means run some sort of data backup if you want to keep your settings
You may also want to run a nandroid backup in recovery (if all else fails, you can restore it)
Warnings:
You MUST have the newest SPL
You MUST have a Class 6 SD Card
You MUST know how to read
You MUST have 3 partitions
You MUST have at least 256MB EXT
If you don't, I WILL NOT HELP YOU! (Sorry, too many times...)
and no, I will NOT teach your grandmother how to root, install, or configure this ROM
Copy the update to the SD card (rename if using pre-1.4 recovery)
Boot into recovery mode (Home and Power)
Launch the Console and press Enter
***** Not Needed in 3.80 and Above *****
Commands to execute:
mount -a
rm -r system/sd/app_s
rm system/sd/dalvik-cache/* (if dalvik to sd was done)
reboot (Immediately press the Home key again)
**********************************
Apply the update (ZeroXd-v3.5.zip under any zip if using recovery 1.4, update.zip if pre-1.4)
After going through initial setup open console
Commands to execute:
runonce
(if it gives any issues, you may need to run this first:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and that will make system rewritable)
After this has completed, reboot the phone normally.

Yeah, but it assumes you will apps to sd so I put back a lot that was removed, just as apps instead of system components.

Now if I apps2sd, Rosie and the core apps will stay on the actual phone, correct? Also, what Apps2sd method would you recommend my friend?

going to load this now. debating between this, ravenge's rogers, cyan's rogers and this rom. speed+exchange more important aspects...

If you're on ext2 I recommend doing 2 with the package as is. If you're on ext3, flash the other boot and do autolucid, or 1. JAC's boot doesn't support ext3 very well, but soon I will get it all merged down.

you keep the launcher and rosie? and this doesnt have what manup did does it? and weather?

So correct me if I am wrong. Since this is UnionFS will apps2sd method 2 work? Please say yes!

This does have manups mods because I liked launcher and yes unionfs does work, although if it keeps looping on the partition let me know. It did on mine but I have ext3. I think they put the scriipt in the wrong place but I need verification before I change the update.

Just to extra clarify things, all I do is install Apps2sdV2, and click move apps, and then move cache?

Is there any chance we may have the option to store text messages on the SD card using a system similar to Apps2SD?

That would probably be dependent on the program you use. I was experimenting on moving the /data/data folder to the SD card. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful with it retaining settings during the move.
I did take out the code that forces /data/data to stay on the data partition, so if you want to move the /data/data folder to, say, /system/sd/data, you can.
I have the option in Darktremor A2SD 2.7.5 Alpha (based on 2.7 Update 1. The current code is based on 2.7 Update 3r1), I will put it in again if you wish to experiment with it (though I will leave it undocumented until it is proven successful).

To be honest, I am quite new with Android development. I think I will look at some documentation and such before I begin experimenting. Maybe I should do an adb pull of /data/data and look at the stuff there.
If you don't mind, I may request for it later.

Sure. Not a problem.

Hi, what is he best heap size to use?
Also, can I use apps2sd on the updated 1.47 rooted ROM based on the OTA simply by flashing?

Normally on the Hero (the one I use), the heap size is 16mb (a2sd smallheap). DamageControl uses a heap size of 24mb (a2sd largeheap), which seems to make dalvik-cache runs faster. I included a 32mb heap setting (a2sd jumboheap) that I thought would be perfect for the added memory of the Evo.
Honestly, I'm not sure which one is better. I personally can't tell the difference between them. I would experiment between them and see...but I'm not sure you'll get a noticeable difference unless you clear your dalvik-cache.
As for running Apps2SD on the updated 1.47 rooted rom...if it is a stock rom, it won't run. This is because the stock rom by itself does not have the necessary components to launch any version of Apps2SD (CyanogenMod, Darktremor, DamageControl). Myself and another developer injected the Apps2SD functions in our stock rom and released it (it was just a stock rom...no other modifications was done). So, someone would have to inject the Apps2SD functions into the stock rom.

Partition Size
Just received my 16G (C6) SD card and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for initial sizing of the partitions? Originally did a 50/50 split, but second guessing myself.

I have 4GB, but that's a bit excessive. Try around 1-2GB for the ext and, depending if you want a swap partition, 32MB for swap. All the rest goes to FAT32.

Thanks for the feedback. I moved to 3G, but will probably take that down to 1.5 (or almost 3 times the phone's internal system memory correct?) Don't think I will enable a swap, even though it's a C6 with protection elements on the card, don't want continual rw.

I have swap on mine and I don't see any ill effects.
But you have an Evo, which has twice the memory of the Hero. You probably would benefit without a swap file.

I'm trying to get apps2SD to work with the DC ROM and I'm not seeing this partition selection. When I click on partition, a menu opens up that says a lot about mount and unmount. Also says something about format boot, system, data,cache, sd card, sd-ext. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you trying to get Darktremor Apps2SD to work or the one already included with DamageControl.
If it is Darktremor, the GUI setup in DamageControl is not compatible. You need to use the commands via Terminal or adb shell. Type a2sd help for a list of commands and a description of what they do.

The only benefit is that it will allow programs to stay in memory longer. It is a little faster, but not significant.
Most people don't even bother putting a swap partition.
Using a program like Autokiller, which adjusts the values of the built-in auto termination routine, would benefit you far better than swap.

So I have not to remake DC?
Sent from future

No...if your Dalvik-Cache settings are already set, then it will keep dalvik-cache where it is. If it's installed on the SD card, it will still be on the SD card when you upgrade.
That Dalvik-Cache reset was a result of an earlier version (before 2.7.5.2, I believe) installer program resetting it back to internal storage. That didn't work out so well and the code was removed from the installer.

Sure, you can always wait for Beta 04 if you feel it would be better to wait. Some people like release versions and others will wait until later in the beta process (version 2.7 went through 10 beta phases before it was released).

How can I check if I have a partition on my SD card?

Assuming that your SD card is on device block mmcblk0, you do the following:
Busybox fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
(that's a lower-case L, not an upper-case I or a number 1).
You're looking for something labeled Linux native. Probably associated with device mmcblk0p2.

Hi,
Tried it with no success on MIUI 1.1.28 with custome kernel 2.6.32.28
I followed the instructions to flash but when rebooted I checked the A2SD and it was not active or installed.
I used adb shell and looked under /system/bin for a2sd, which was missing.
Checked under MIUI settings for System/SDCard/A2SD+ and it reports no A2SD: is supported
Any ideas on how I'll make it work on Desire HD MIUI 1.1.28 ?

Try reflashing again...if you don't see /system/bin/a2sd, then your flash didn't take.

I use 2.5.3 CWRecovery to flash from SDCard. I have tried at least 3 times and always see on the flash screen a number of lines with tick boxes but only the last one ticketed.
Do I need to do mount System first while in recovery ?
What else should I check ?

Ok... I mamaged to make it work
I had to manually mount the System & Data partitions and then flash the zip file
Then on first reboot and after the Bootanimation screen I got a 2nd rebooted again. After the second time all worked as expected.
so now MIUI 1.1.28 can recognise A2SD+ menory of 480MB
The problem I have is that uninstall is disabled for most applications.
How do I fix this ?

[Guide] Supercharger V6 for everyone, make your phone faster

I wrote this guide for originally in elk759's JB CM10 thread, but with some modifications it works with every ROM and every phone.
I thought other guides were too hard to understand so I concluded all neccessary information and nothing more.
This guide is for Windows, because it uses a Windows tool to make the process MUCH easier. This only affects the modding of services.jar, so look at the original Supercharger thread for instructions withot the Windows tool.
Here are the benefits of using SUPERCHARGER, I cn approve that it works, it's faster, more apps can run and no launcher redraws!

What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

___________________________________________________________________________
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, LOOK FIRST AT THE Q&A BELOW!
1. Prerequisites:
SuperCharger_Starter_Kit_xxx.zip (contins busybox, sqlite and zipalign)
[*]V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC11_xxx.sh.pdf
Script Manager for starting scripts (on first run enable root browse AND run every script with su rights, the skull and bones symbol)
ES File Explorer (with root rights in settings->root management)
optionally: Terminal Emulator
Recommended for everyone and REQUIRED for 4.0+ Roms:
pepcisko's Windows tool for patching services.jar
Place the V6_Supercharger script and the Supercharger_Starter_Kit.zip content to "/sdcard/V6"
Place the Windows tool somewhere on your Hard Drive
Install the required apps
2. Installation of Starter Kit:
Start SManager and confirm root rights when browsing
go to sdcard/V6/1_SuperCharger_Starter_Kit and click on StartMeUp.sh
select the SU button (skull + bones) and RUN it as script and follow the instructions (install at least busybox for being safe that everything works)
3. Patching services.jar
Background information (could be very useful):
Patching the services.jar gives you the multitasking mod. Apps shouldn't restart all the time, they will stay in RAM as long as they can.
Patching the services.jar is REQUIRED for Android 4.x.x, but you don't have to use multitasking mod.
For the other Android versions it isn't required, you only need this if you want to have multitasking mod, too.
If you have Sense 4.0+ and want multitasking mod, you have to follow this, more complex tutorial.
But you can also use this method, but your visible app limit stay at 8 Apps, instead of 50!
extract the Windows tool and launch it
You can choose between online mode (phone drivers needed) or offline mode, I'll explain offline mode:
make sure you have root rights in ES Explorer and that you mount system as R/W (read/writable)
copy the services.jar from /system/framework to your SD, and connect your phone to PC
move the services.jar to the framework folder of the Windows tool directory
in the windows tool specify your Android version + if the rom is odexed/deodexed
now press "enter" -> "y" for supercharge -> "enter" for die die-hard launcher -> "enter" -> "y" for multitasking -> "enter" -> "y" to delete temporary files
You have patched the services.jar, now you have two options (both files are in "dist" directory):
Place the update-signed.zip on sdcard and install it via recovery
OR
Place the modded services.jar (and if odexed rom the services.odex too) to /system/framework and overwrite. Then you have to set owner and permissions:
In Terminal Emulator
su
(confirm SuperUser Request)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/framework
chown 0.0 services.jar
chmod 644 services.jar
Now go into recovery (or stay there after flashing update-signed.zip) and wipe cache & dalvik cache.
On your next reboot apps should be optimized.
4. Supercharger Installation
Remember: I can't promise, that the guide is always up to date. So it could happen that after an update of the script, the option numbers are different. Look at the text on the right side of the option
start the /sdcard/V6/V6_SuperCharger... script with SManager with SU rights
follow the instructions of driver options: You will be asked for Scroll Speed but also various tweaks which can improve the performance
The script calculates the preferred FreeMem size, you can use them or set your own prefered size:
After you have declined to use the calculated option you are in Driver's Console, you can choose between 33 options.
The Options 2 to 9 set the MinFree size, for the different Ram Size of the devices.
For the Desire I recommend option 6 which is called "balanced". You can try a lower or a higher option, too.
Lower values are better for Multitasking, higher values are better for the speed on the visible app.
go back to driver options and type 21 for Nitro Lag Nullifier, confirm with N (could be unstable, you don't have to use this)
After you are finished press option 17 for Engine Flush and after that option 32 for SuperClean& Restart
After the restart you should open SManager again and navigate to /system/etc/init.d, click on S99SuperCharger and enable SU + Run on Boot.
Press Save. This should avoid issues if you want to launch Supercharger Script again (for me it worked without doing that)
Widgets for easy and fast freemem change:
For compairing settings, you can make widgets, settings will be changed instantly:
- you have to select the option you want to use as a widget (e.g. option 5 of supercharger) one time in V6_Supercharger script
Your selected options will appear as a small script in sdcard/V6_Supercharger/PowerShift_Scripts
- long press on home screen, click on Widgets and select SManager
- choose the script you want to use (e.g. 512HP_UnLedded...)
Q&A Supercharger
Q: Supercharger says "sorry, your rom wipes service entries on boot". Is it an issue?
A: No you can ignore it. You'll stay supercharged. (thx to abelle_abelle for the hint)
Q: Supercharger says that I'm only 75%/50% supercharged. What is the reason?
A: Propably the services.jar hasen't been patched right. Check if the services.jar is replaced and if the owner and the permissions are right. Try it out with offline mode in the Windows tool.
Q: Do I have to patch the services.jar again after rom update?
A: If you flash the rom you have to replace the original services.jar again. I don't know if you can use the previous patched services.jar.
Q: Do I have to run the whole script again after a rom update?
A: You have to run the Supercharger script again, but it has stored the last settings and can restore them. Then you have to Wipe Cache & Dalvik, reboot and set /system/etc/init.d/S99SuperCharger to run with SU rights + at boot.
Q: Did my settings stick?
A: If Supercharger says "100% supercharged" everything should be fine. If you think there is something wrong, because of a particular message paste the log text in pastebin.com and give me the link in your post.
Q: Do I have to install the Supercharger StarterKit?
A: No, you cann try it without this first if you want. BUT some busybox versions doesn't work with Supercharger (everything below 1.16.2 and even some versions above 1.16.2.
The StarterKit installs a recommended version.
Q: My phone is getting slower from time to time.
A: This can happen if you don't reboot often (1 or 2 days). The cache is growing and there is less and less RAM.
If you don't want to reboot all the time you can make the EngineFlush in V6_SuperCharger (option 17) and a script will be created (!FastEngineFlush.sh). You can make a widget for it after you set it as favorite or launch it normally in Script Manager.
A more detailed guide about making widgets is written above.
Q: Everythings (apps and launcher) stucks after NitroLagNullifier/V6 Supercharger installation. What can I do?
A: The user abelle_abelle had this issue. He had to hard reset his device (hard reset wipes your partitions -> deletes your data) and had to reinstall the rom.
Q: Are there any possibilites to make my rom even faster?
A: Yes, with KickAssKernelizer (KAK):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32508611&postcount=35
Maybe I will write a bit more detailed guide for this. You can see what it does at the benefits of Supercharger at the top of my first post.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took me long to test and to write please give a Thanks if I helped you
Also thank the creator of the scripts (check links)

Reserved for possible addition and Q&A

Have been using this for some time, and I can confirm it works.
Sent from my toaster.

I'm stuck in the CM logo screen after installing service.jar (online mode) and wiped davlink and cache.

Which Rom you are using?

I'm sorry, I thought I edited the post. I'm using Elk's CM10 for Desire.
After trying several times to wait after having wiped cache and davlink (and fixed permissions) I re-flashed the rom and tried to apply the superchager script.
Problem 1: not enough spaces on the system (I'm using INT2EXT)
Problem 2: supercharger only at 50%
Problem 3: Apex launcher not recognized
Should I try to re-do everything, maybe this time with the offline method? But how to avoid the system space problem?

First off, I used it for CM10 too but without int2ext.
The reason for 50% is propably the unpatched service.jar(at beginning I had this issue too)
First, I would try to use the offline mode, the utility propably hasn't patched anything so try if it's working by manual way.
Just put the service.jar on PC, patch it and replace it. Then start the Supercharger V
script gain and it should be 100%.
otherwise do that:
On your SD Card there should be a Supercharger.html with a "log" or sth like that, please send it to me.
Additionally check if there is a "V6 Supercharger" folder on your SD, created by the script.
And check the output of the Windows tool! Be sure you have phone drivers on your PC and your phone is connected without SD Card Read if you use online.
-------------------------------------------
The space on system shouldn't be a problem, you have to use at least 250mb system (so stock hboot), int2ext only mounts /data on ext, so as I understood it is used for fatsys hboots which have 450mb system and NO space for data...
Why do you think that the space is a problem? Where did you notice it?
The APEX problem can be discussed after getting the rest work...
Please give feedback whether it worked or not

Here's my problem:
1 - Installation of starter kit:

2 - Patch of services.jar went ok with offline mode, but when I try to change permissions

Do you have stock hboot?
Try to delete some unnecessary preinstalled apps with file explorer.
(I search for some which you could delete...)
Edit: in system/app/ you can delete at least Calenar.apk, ES File Explorer.apk and Email.apk (after backup I think you can delete Gallery2.apk too, don't know how this affects on camera)
This should free at least 4mb and should be enough.
The file was just a help file and not a log, sorry for the mistake, thought it would create a og, but you have showed me the eroor with the pics...

Hey mate can you make a youtube video showing the steps. I understand better with visuals, and thanks for sharing.

Yes I have stok hboot, and this is the first time I try to install V6 on a JB rom.
Concerning the lack of space I've done like you said, thank you!... BUT when I try to install binay 3.1 (which should fix the segmentation faults) it points out that it's only for ICS and aborts the installation. So I fixed the permission manually.
Now I'm going to check the rest and see what happens.
Fixed permission, flashed update-signed.zip, wiped davlink and cache, rebooted and... well, after HTC logo the screen turned off and only the hardkeys were illuminated
I'm going to flash the rom again and start from the beginning for the third time.

I saw that you are going to install Paranoid anyway, I have flashed CM10 recently so I have to redo my Supercharger and I will explain it in detail for you.
I will edit this post but give you a overview first.
I recommend to flash Gapps first and then enable a2sd.
Try installing Supercharger without the use of Starter Kit, Busybox, SQlite and SU binaries (v3.2) are preinstalled (if you want to check for update anyway check it in SuperUser app)
StarterKit is designed to give everyone the TESTED busybox version, to avoid problems, but try it without the installation of StarterKit, just if it doesn't work because of busybox get the one of StarterKit (I will try it with preinstalled version, not the one of StarterKit)
So here are my steps, I'll try:
1. patch services.jar with offline mode, then put the output service.jar with ES File Explorer in /system/framework
2. With terminal emulator I will set the permissions and the owner
3. I will launch the Superuser script.
You can try this while I am using this method, too, but in any case I will report if it works or not
Edit: I decided to make a video, for this I will use StarterKit too, to show everything.

I'll have to see, I have only a camera of the year 2005 or a old samsung phone of the year 2008/2009
I don't know if the quality would be good enough + I would do it only for 4.0+ ROM

Thank you, you are very patient and nice!
Yes I'm indeed trying Paranoid, because it solves the big problem I had with Elk's CM10 (wifi not working with wifi networks with PEAP), although it is slower and I intend to revert back as soon as the problem is fixed.
I will try your method, hoping that the hateful fragmentation fault problem doesn't occur anymore. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for you thanks
I don't know if it is rally the segmentation (or whatever it's called) because it only occurs in ICS, if you want to install the su binary of the StarterKit it says NO because you don't need this (I think so)
I will upload a video tomorrow and I hope it solves your problem, for me everything's working fine

Does reinstalling the rom gets rid of the script? Because I'm currently using mildwild 5.0 and when I installed the supercharger script the rom got slightly slower, so I was wondering if reinstalling the rom gets rid of the script. Maybe I picked the wrong choices when installing the script I'm gonna wait for you to make a video so I can correctly do it.

Reinstalling the rom deletes supercharger, because system is wiped (i think so)
The Video will show how you install the script, there aren't man decisions which you can choose incorrectly.
The speed is especially affeced by multitasking mod (keeps apps in memory, a bit less RAM for games) and freemem options which you choose in supercharger script, I recommend Option 6 for balanced settings.
AS I said the video only shows the basic things (and only for 4.0+)...
Edit: Video wont have many anotations, will be under time pressure
