[HOWTO] Enable JIT automatically

[HOW TO] activate JIT on 2.2
PEOPLE. NO OFF TOPIC HERE!
if you dont know what JIT is it basically speeds up your phone, very recommended! more info ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all! i know some of you want to test JIT complier... so i did a little research and found greek forum ---> http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=286161
there our friend kyrillos13 has posted a way to activate JIT. so heres guide in english how to do it:
Activation Wizard of JIT
You need to install the root explorer (find it by searching on google). After the installation will take you to leave a message superuser. Press allowed. Download the file from here http://www.multiupload.com/9HK3NP4MML Unzip and copy the system folder on your memory card. With root explorer access the bin folder, select all the files and copy them to the path / system / bin / on your mobile. Upon return to the system folder that you copied to your phone and open the folder lib. Select all the files and then copy the path / system / lib / on your mobile. Then execute the commands listed in the file folder JIT instructions to download either via the adb pc or terminal emulator through the phone. Stir in and reboot. Download from the MARKET linpack do the install and run. If you pull MFLOPS 7 + (maybe even 11+) your ok. The linpack is optional. The jit will work anyway. just if you have doubts about whether you did it right then test it with the linpack (from market)...
the commands:
(adb shell) write this IF using ADB,
su
chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvikvm
chmod 755 /system/bin/dexopt
chmod 755 /system/bin/logcat
---------------------------------------------------
automatic batch script is the best way!!

Here's a packaged version of ARMV Team's files designed to enable JIT.
The zip contains a batch script which automatically pushes the files to your phone, chmods the relevant ones and then reboots your phone.

has haree changed the topic?? cuz i didnt write it like that...

Which task has the build.prop in /System/ ?
Everywhere you can read that you have enable Jit in this file,
but I can't see any difference if I write : dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
or if I erase this.
If I change the the heapsize, I can't see any differences too.
Can anybody tell me something about the build.prop ?

Did u tried this? impressions?

GOOD JOB
Tried JASUX links, 8,3MFLOPs instead of 2,8 - good improvement.
Using Lestat 1.7, Fugumod 2.2 no OC
Quadrant improved from 320 to 380.
Copy/Paste with Root Explorer, CHMOD with ADB.
I hope the war about "who own`s the Linux" is over now.
Anyone tried ARMV batch? Scores?
Thanx to all dev`s

Jazux it's not the dev of the mod and probably doesn't know...
I think the jit is based on a JPM release, anyway if you don't wanna brick your phones (well, softbrick!) wait for apocalypse, this is experimental as everything in this forum

Well, I was struggling to get JIT for three days before it came up here.
All I learned about JIT is that you have to have DEODEXED ROM and be ROOTED. This package of JIF is specific to our phones but do you have to be on JPM - I`m not sure. This may even work for Eclair. Until not tested can`t say. I`m not going to test it on Eclair or any other version and who does have Eclair anyway nowadays
If I`m wrong please correct me.

[Script] Darkness in the dark hours

hi everyone
I present to you:
Darkness in the dark hours​
this is a pack of:
- a script I made
- Gscript lite
- Screen filter(optional, but recommended)
I strongly recommend to you to read the whole post and only then apply my script!
A lot of users tried to find a way to do this, so I polished my script I used for Eternity to make it universal(hopefully )
this script made to work with rooted 2.1+ firmwares and busybox properly installed.
1. Install Gscript lite
2. To make this script revertable on the newer brand of kernels, you will need to add one line to hw_config.sh (because I just don't trust init.d scripts)
run this from adb or any terminal emulator from phone as superuser
Code:
echo "\n\n\nrm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
3. in Gscript choose Add a script and name it whatever you want(e.g. NOLed) and paste these lines in it
Code:
#! /system/bin/busybox sh
# "turn off keyboard and notification LEDs" for ANY android firmware
# this script needs su access
# made by Adolf1994
# thanks for the help diimaan
# maybe final version - revertable
# requires hw_config.sh modification to be properly revertable
DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)
LED=/sys/$DIR
LED1=$LED:rgb1:red/brightness
LED2=$LED:rgb1:green/brightness
LED3=$LED:rgb1:blue/brightness
LED4=$LED:sled/brightness
if [ -s /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop ]; then
chmod 00644 $LED1
chmod 00644 $LED2
chmod 00644 $LED3
chmod 00644 $LED4
rm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
else
echo 0 > $LED1
echo 0 > $LED2
echo 0 > $LED3
echo 0 > $LED4
chmod 00444 $LED1
chmod 00444 $LED2
chmod 00444 $LED3
chmod 00444 $LED4
echo 1 > /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
fi
exit
4. tap on "Needs SU" then save
5. run the script and enjoy surfing at night without the annoying hw leds
(most likely you WILL get stderrs on 2.2+, but it's normal)
Note: if you get EMPTY stderrs, that's no problem. BUT if something is shown next to the stderr, like permission denied, then please report
optional. install Screen filter from market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor&feature=search_result
This is only for 2.1 and/or 2.2. On 2.3 I experienced a problem that's I couldn't press install in package installer activity. I nearly reinstalled the whole thing. You've been warned!
Night is over? Just run the script again and wait till the LEDs light up.
If You Don't Like LEDs At All, This Pretty Line Will Disable Them At Startup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17514012&postcount=27
Q: Why modifying hw_config.sh?
A: Because if you reboot your phone while the leds are off, there will remain a file that normally indicates how the script should act upon running it. That one particular file should not present after boot.
Q: I'm on Wolfbreak's ROM. Won't that mess tweaks up?
A: In no way. Impossible. Unless you didn't follow steps properly.
hope you like it
and don't forget to press thanks button

can I use script manager to run this at boot?

I think it'd be fine

the script didnt work for me i went to my dolphin browser copied text pasted it saved i run it it showed up stderr twice that's it?

from gscript I get a bunch of stderrs, too. however, from a terminal emulator it runs fine, so no problem.
It's the most noticeable if the phone is on the charger, because you will see that the led suddenly switches off.
you can revert the script back with a simple reboot.

Sorry for being a noob, but what does this do? :$

It disables the l.e.d.s. It should be made a little clearer in op.
Is there a script to turn them back on?

@Adolf or @My_Immortal
any new experiments with sd card mounting?
There was some interesting posts by one shaun in link2sd thread! he's using x10! somehow he managed to find more free space in /system than in /data!
so no need of an extra partition, you can just run the script to mount the /system as rw on boot and then link the link2sd mount point to it! I sent a PM to him about how is it working! let's see...

Ohhh but i tried terminal too pasted the script and nothing happened?

There are currently 190 MB free in my system partition, 219 MB in data and 11 GB in my sdcard, so I really want to use Links2SD on an ext partition in my SD, rather than anywhere else!
But it's nice that there's progress!!

Should explain how to do it, just need to add commands to a start up script that is editable on your phone, that runs before the GUI is started. Dunno how I would create a universal script as you will need to edit diff files on diff phones.

[GOVERNOR][2.6.39.4] Hotplug for Nvidia Tegra

Hello again xda, today I want to present something tiny, but nontheless important (in my view) for our old TF101 ...
The first working HOTPLUG governor for this device!
Q: What the hell is 'hotplug' ?
Hotplug Governor:
The “hotplug” governor scales CPU frequency based on load, similar to
“ondemand”. It scales up to the highest frequency when “up_threshold”
is crossed and scales down one frequency at a time when “down_threshold”
is crossed. Unlike those governors, target frequencies are determined
by directly accessing the CPUfreq frequency table, instead of taking
some percentage of maximum available frequency.
The key difference in the “hotplug” governor is that it will disable
auxillary CPUs when the system is very idle, and enable them again once
the system becomes busy. This is achieved by averaging load over
multiple sampling periods; if CPUs were online or offlined based on a
single sampling period then thrashing will occur.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you can see, hotplug is able to deliver you the fastest experience and the most fps in game (kernel independant), but it also allows for completely switching off one core to save battery life. In my testings, that worked very well. I also found out, that with this governor, my TF is deep-sleeping like a baby. No governor around here (not even smartassv2 ... could deliver me this performance while maintaining a decent battery life).
Tested on EOS 4.2.1 with EOS4 kernel
But try out yourself:
NOTE: This works on any 2.X kernel available (my Harmony series, ELiTE series, KatKernel series, or any other kernel except my divemaster)
Code:
1) Download a terminal emulator (if you don't have one already)
2) Download the .ko module from [URL="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31119007/xda/hotplug-tegra-2/cpufreq_hotplug.ko"]here[/URL]
3) Remember the path you saved the module to (or preferably move it into /system/lib/modules)
4) su
5) insmod path-to-module/cpufreq_hotplug.ko
6) Switch to 'hotplug' governor with your favourite tool.
If you were too lazy to read my instructions, this is for you ..

As always, have fun, share, and report back!
​

I have followed the instructions, do I have to run it every reboot or just this one off?
Nothing really happened when I ran it but I guess it just loads the module.
Cheers buddy

Must say thanks again for all the amazing work!

The only problem as 2 people discribe abovme is RR or Random Reboot.
Thats only problem.

Wow I derped that up, thx lol.
Was running fine at 1.2 decided to bump it up to 1.4 hit apply and it rebooted on me, is also didn't stick after reboot like others have said.

In here you may find how to make permanent the governor insmod.
Long story short is "add a script in /system/etc/init.d , it can be something like 91modules. . Add execution permission and it can contain the same code as before. Reboot and it should load your module at boot (be sure that the path to your module is right).
Also, you can do that in one line as root in a terminal. First, be sure that your /system is mounted as rw, not ro. If you don't know how to do that, as root, in a terminal, execute:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Then:
Code:
echo -e \#\!/system/bin/sh'\n'insmod [B]/path/to/module[/B]/cpufreq_hotplug.ko > /system/etc/init.d/91modules | chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/91modules
"
It should load automatically next time you reboot.
I created the 91modules file and done the editing and file permission in ES File Manager, but the above instructions should work flawlessly.
Don't thank me for this. Thank MapleSyrup

Posts like this are keeping my work up and my releases coming.
People like you are the reason I am putting this much effort in this kinda old device .
For those who experience SOD/RR with hotplug and can confirm it's not related to anything else, please gimme a dsmg/ksmg (I recommend using 'Lumberjack' from the playstore (made by Chris Trotman, EOS founder).
*NO* logcat, that isn't any useful for me in this case ..
I do now have 2 days uptime with hotplug governor, not a single SOD/RR, pretty much usage (wifi on all the time, a little Riptide GP, web browsing, most of the time playing music) and still got 20% left with EOS4 kernel while achieving full performance while needed. This thing is deep-sleeping just perfectly.

I have placed the hotplug in the system this morning and my battery life still 99% im using it with dock and dono m8 but if theres any problem but seems my tf101 dont consume energy at all im starting to get scarry lol

I typed all this in and it wont survive uve a reboot. I placed the module in /system/lib/modules and typed that. When i see the | is that a new line or all one line?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

You can make that code in 2 commands, 1st is all before the | and 2nd the command after the |.
In order to work your final 91modules should look like
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_hotplug.ko
In order to test if it's working you cat try to run it from the terminal (it may need "su" before)
Code:
./system/etc/init.d/91modules
If it's not complaining about not being executable, you may test to see if it's loaded with "lsmod".
If it's loaded it surely will survive the reboot.
I hope that helps you.

Looks like it created the 91modules file in init.d but when i try to set permissions using chmod +x it says bad mode. Maybe thats why it isnt working, wrong permissions.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Indeed the chmod +x command doesn't work.
You may use ES file explorer to set file permissions but also you need to allow it superuser access, mount /system as writable and "up to root" and mark execute and write to the user. At the end the file should have the following permissions: rwx r-- r--

Ill give that a try and see if that does it. Thanks!

thanks
Thanks RaymanFX, this is a great addition to our device.
Also thanks to all your work, you are keeping this device alive...

Minfree settings in CM12 Roms

As there are again and again discussions concerning the minfree settings in CM12 roms, I decided to open this thread. If a moderator thinks, this is the wrong place for this thread, just move it, to where it belongs.
Obviously, since the last builds of CM12, the settings for minfrees cause some trouble. After a clean install of any rom, the minfree settings in trickstermod and in fauxclock are completely empty. In fauxclock the settings for OOM (out of memory) Score as well. Some people entered them manually, but I'm afraid, this won't help.
To really solve this, you have to do the following steps: open your file explorer, go to sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters. There you will find 5 files. Two of them do not have correct permissions. The first one, called adj, is for the OOM Scores. The other one, called minfree, is, you won't guess it, for the minfrees. :fingers-crossed:
As you see, both of them have only write permissions, but no read permissions. So I guess, the system will ignore these settings completely. I checked this, using cool tool from play store, very nice tool to show for example the actual free ram in your status bar. And in deed, the ram went down to 25MB, after I had opened a handful apps, and then my phone stopped working. I only could do a reboot.
Now the solution, which is quite easy: change the permissions into rw-rw-rw (666), and maybe change the group under owners into root (I'm not sure, if this is necessary, but it does make no problems, so why not).
Et voilà - if you now open trickstermod or fauxclock again, you will see the preset parameters. As you can see also, the minfrees there are really high. In another thread, there have been suggested the following settings, which are a good standard:
trickstermod 48/60/72/84/96/120
fauxclock 12288/15360/18432/21504/24576/30720
Important: In fauxclock, the minfree settings are not made in MB. You have to enter the so called "pages" for minfrees, which I can't explain exactly, what this is. In general, if you want to change minfrees in fauxclock, just take the settings in MB, you want to, and multiply by 256. This will give you the correct values.
BTW I don't think, it's a good idea, to change the OOM Scores, as long as you do not know exactly, what you're doing.
So, hopefully I could help a bit and clear some things up. But the final question to the CM devs remains:
is this a bug or is this a feature?

With me, those files were already chmod 666, owner root. I use latest liquidsmooth rom. What i did, prior reading your post, was that i set minfree in trickster, from my presets, than immedatly switched to faux, parameters were there, pressed apply, switched set on boot and rebooted. After that minfree r sticking in faux and trickster. Guess that my actions leaded to what you have described. Anyway, your way is much more convinient - at least one app less to use

I don't get it... The directory you mentioned is empty on my one s as well as on my nexus 10 both with cm12.
However my settings stick since I use fauxclock.
One more thing I don't get is in fauxclock. It says "kilobyte" explicitly in the minfree settings although you said (and it stems to be) this strange pages value....

You have to use your file manager with root permissions. Depending on which file manager you use, this can be done differently. The inbuilt CM12 file manager can be given root permissions in settings, in Root explorer for example you have to mount the directory as r/w.
An yes, you are right, fauxclock says, the settings are in kilobyte, but this is not correct. If you succeed to open the minfree file with your file manager, you will find there exactly the values, you have entered in fauxclock.

Damnit, you're right. Solid explorer doesn't show the content of the directory.... I use it a long time and always had the feeling solid explorer shows me all files...
Cm file manager works, thanks!

It does work with solid explorer as well. The point is, there is no option, to set root permissions manually in solid explorer. So the trick is to create a situation, where solid explorer will ask for root access. For example: long press any folder in your system root, tap properties, tap change (attributes) and now press OK, without changing anything. You will be asked for root access.
Now everything should be fine!

got a problem.
parameter file is empty.

problem solved

For solid explorer, just try to open /data and it will ask for root permissions. I do it every time I flash my phone.

Thanks a lot man! I wasn't aware of the skewed minfree files. Was setting them in Trickster and wondering why the apps keep shutting down on me when multitasking. Great work

They will still close even so...just not so obvious

Uh yes obviously. However they were actually closing the instant i opened another app. Couldnt even keep two apps open at the same time, that was pretty bad.

Yes, I know what you mean. Was the same for me. Having better minfree settings that stick after a reboot helped but didn't solved the issue completely. But at least now phone is usable. I put my hopes in that Google patch they'll release with 5.0.3

Thanks for this thread, I changed the permission with "chmod 666" using adb shell, but after a reboot, the files were back to write-only mode, is it normal ? How do you make it permanent ?

If it's reverting, I guess the only way would be through an script that runs at boot time. But it's strange, the permissions should stick once set...

I used a file explorer with root permissions like root explorer or ES file explorer. My permissions are actually rw-rw-rw, both for adj and minfree file. I guess, this is 666? And they stick after a reboot. But honestly I am not quite sure, if I changed something else. IIRC, I might have changed the permissions for system/etc/init.d/90userinit to rwxr-xr-x. Maybe you want to check this, too.

Well, they don't stick because init.rc sets them to chmod 0220 on boot. That makes me wonder if maybe it was supposed to be like this? I wanted to change it but I don't want to screw anything up. There is a dedicated section for low memory killer in init.rc and only things there are chmod 0220 for those two files and chown for them - so basically the things that we are fixing in this thread. A bug or a feature?

Thanks for this hint! Indeed, this might be the other thing, that I had changed. In CM11 roms, the described permissions in init.rc are 664 - both for adj and minfree file. I am not quite sure, if this helps, but it's worth an attempt. You can change the permissions in init.rc to 644, reboot and see, if the permissions for adj and minfree are sticky now. I just did this ,and everything is fine -so you can try without risk, I guess. But I must say, I hadn't the problem before, that the permissions for adj and minfree were reset after reboot. Could be related to the changes in init.rc, but I am not sure.

A weird thing: I made a backup and tried anyway yesterday but after a reboot my init.rc restores itself to normal. I tried another time: Modified the values and saved. After reopening it's still there and it stays there but only until I reboot the phone. After reboot the permissions are not set correctly and init.rc restores itself to original state. Is there something I do not know about modifying init.rc? Because that is the first time I try to do something with it.

Secure Settings (for Tasker) with Systemless Root...

I want to use Secure Settings with Tasker to accomplish things that Tasker won't allow. My issue is that Secure Settings won't "see" that I'm rooted. I Googled this and found a solution (see attached image and this link: https://dammit.nl/p/962). But it won't work. If I do it through terminal emulator, it says /system is busy. If I go through TWRP and mount the /system, It just says the location wasn't found (for the touch command), specifically the /xbin and the /bin folders. Anyone else done this? Or found another way to make Tasker do things like change location mode (high accuracy to battery saver, or vice versa)?

Forgot to attach image. Here it is.

Ugh. This is the one without SU getting in the way...

Remount /system rw
Create two symlinks
Run Secure Settings
Grant root when asked
Done

Not sure that just touching 'su' files work. Preferred to create symlinks to actual 'su' utility (see above)
