Mix and match tweakz = crazy fast Evo + great battery life

Hello All,
I had been tweaking my Evo for a week and came to a good solution.
I was trying to achieve the best speed with the best battery life.
HTC appz works and camera working also.
What tweak was used:
Compcache + JIT (no crash or reboot) after a week of use.
Removed HTC lock screen and use AWD Launcher Pro (disable HTC Sense)
Use 4G Widget and Flashlight Widget.
Use Flash 10.1 for Android 2.1
Use a static wallpaper
Rom use:
Fresh .03 as base and included the compcache and A2SD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700448
Currently using Aloysius 3.0.2 rom as it is the same as Fresh .03 but with colors theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361
JIT From Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699814
Remove HTC lock:
I use option 2 because I needs the alarm clock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707466&highlight=lock+screen
Disable HTC Sense:
Use alternative launcher.
Using Widget:
4G Widget. **Warning** 4G will be be enable each time after a reboot when using this appz. Make sure to turn it off with the widget. Using 4G drains the battery quick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695056
Flashlight Widget: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696014&highlight=flashlight
Launcher:
I use AWD Launcher Pro, but any other launcher can be use as the home screen.
Direction:
1) Make sure to nandroid your current ROM just incase you want to goes back to it.
2) Make a backup of your appz using Titanium Backup.
3) Make sure to wipe completely before flashing to Fresh .03 or Aloysius 3.0.2 ROM
4) Remove HTC lock screen and use a different type of launcher.
5) Use a static wallpaper.
6) Restore your appz with Titanium Backup
7) At this step, make a nandroid backup before installing JIT just incase soming went wrong during JIT installation.
8) Install JIT.
9) Configure the EVO to your liking and enjoy. (may reboot or force close during setup of some programs. after that, it was completely stable)
Result:
The first few usages of the Evo might result in reboot but after that it was great. I am currently using my Evo for a week now and it had not reboot or force close. The only things I notice is the increase in speed and battery life. All the appz launch quick and runs just as quick. The animation is very smooth. The HTC appz (such as dialer, texting, contacts) seems to works just as well. Overall, I am very satisfy with the result.
Credits:
It goes to all the Developers whom had created the incredible roms and programs that makes it possible for this tweakz.
Thanks minhgi

development ftw
EDIT: ooooh a guide has formed.. word

You should put this together and release it, I like the things you did and added.

Never tested my Evo. I have 8.831 just now. Reboot and got 9.51.
thanks for letting me know of linpack

What exactly does JIT do for the EVO?

It just something that will speed up android 2 - 5 time and is found in froyo.

I just tried installing jit on fresh .3 but I got a signature verification error. Has anyone else run into this?

make sure your Evo is completely rooted. Also you might wanna post in Fresh forum to get a complete answer.

Cyanogen 6 on HTC Dream - Home screen SLOW!

Hey guys,
I loaded CM6 on my Rogers HTC Dream the other day, and I've noticed some serious delays when going back to the home screen from certain apps.
In the Cyanogen Performance settings, I have "lock home to memory" enabled, but I still occasionally get some serious lag on the home.
Basically, I leave an app and when the home screen loads, there are no apps, no widgets, and the bottom task bar doesn't even load the shortcuts. It just shows "LAB" and "RAB" and the main button. It takes quite a few seconds until it finally loads. During this time, you also can't scroll or anything, it's basically just frozen.
Any ideas on how to fix/improve this?
Also, would you guys recommend sticking with the ADW or going over to Launcher Pro? I heard LP might be quicker on the G1?
Thanks

Do you have compcache or swap enabled?
Also Launcher Pro is a lot smoother on the G1 than ADW, but it also uses more memory.

Well, I would say go ahead and try it. Then remove ADW Launcher altogether once Launcher Pro is installed.
Also you can go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/ performance settings/ Use Compcache should be checked if you want compcache. Also Lock Home in Memory should be checked.

Downloaded Launcher Pro, and removed ADW. Seems a bit smoother.
Still getting lag going to the home screen though.
Any suggestions?

Check out this guide by My_Former_Self. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8397178&postcount=4048
With his tutorial, my CM6 with ADW is running just as fast as the 1.6 Rom I reverted back to after using CM6 before.

Try Zeam launcher. It's less bloated than ADW and Launcher Pro.

I had the same problem after upgrading to CM6. Definitely install swap and firerat's all in one.
Pretty much follow this guide:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773407

I am pretty much in the same situation,
I went with LauncherPro, now can someone post the command how to remove ADW with ADB.
I have ADB running, but I am a newbie in commands.
Thx.

The CM slowdowns and reboots are not bugs, they're features! CM builds have so much linux and so little Android under them that they'll eventually force you to get a real life.

Hey, look at that! You posted in the wrong section!

Flash this ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620
this is the Fro-Yo OTA for the mytouch 3G. They made it flashable for the g1 and it runs SO MUCH SMOOTHER than CM 6.

MIUI ROM, My impressions.

So after running pretty much all the roms available for the XT720, I have to say the new MIUI rom beats them all. I came from dexters froyo 1.3 with bug patch. And for some odd reason it was extremely slow and laggy for me. Even with autokiller optimizer id start out with 60 MB free memory and slowly after some use itd come down to 19-20 mb. Anyways this is how I feel about the new MIUI ROM.
MIUI BETA 4:
This has got to be the fastest ROM ever. I had gotten used to using the laggy XT720 and hating it in the process but whoa am I amazed at how fast this one is. You can just fly through applications and menu's without lag. No lag when you open the keyboard, and the most annoying for me was how the keyboard would lag while using haptic feedback which I love. Dont be put off by the theme in the start everything from the boot screen, to the lock screen can be changed using the theme manager. Theres also a bunch of extra functionality. Like for eg flip to stop active ring, if you pick up the phone while its ringing the ringer volumes goes down. Contacts can be divided into groups, favourite messages etc.
The only draw back with this ROM were if you set up swap it seems to drain the battery really quick. like 10 % / 2.5 hours. I use milestone overclock at 56 vsel 1 Ghz and its pretty stable. I love this ROM and whats been put into it. Waiting for the camera app, HDMI out and other little tweaks here and there to be complete. Thanks Khal!

well I run bluesteel Tom. I have modified it some startup 65+memory avg running memory is between 75 to 90 I only know overclock to 800.
Very fast system no lag at all.

I would like to see your list of removed system apps dude..... Bluesteel was like all the other dxter based froyo for me.. works great with memory management for a few days, then slowly memory reduces down to the 19 to 21mb range & performance goes in the crapper.

Can someone explain in detail how I can install Minimod? I know how to install OR but not Minimod.

F*ck MIUI! I really hate this ROM. Every time I see my phone with MIUI it makes me wanna trow it. It looks UGLY by every mean!
Despide MIUI is stable and fast, I think that if you clean BlueSteal v4 it's better. I have better quadrant benchmark resoults too. 1497 with MIUI and 1601 (personal record) with BlueSteal. I start with around 70 free ram on BS and after all widget start (a few, not much) and I use it a little bit it goes down to 45-50, but it's enough. ROM is very stable and responsive. With fj kernal I stay on 60-65 free all the time.

I am interested to see this too. 3rdstring has a list going, but always nice to see another pov. I have same doggish problems too. To the point I am considering 2.1 for awile. Pulling low 1200's in quadrant, but don't take too much stock in that if everything is lagging.

Lol, to each his own I guess. Im pretty sure you are put off by the theme. Blue steels theme was pretty ****ty too. And I dont like updating themes through open recovery its just a pain in the ass. I always just adb push the ubuntu font onto my rom and then change the themes. With MIUI its much easier. Have you ever used a phone with stock MIUI it is on of the most responsive devices ever. I have always had problems with dexters based ROM's. If you have any tricks up your sleeve please share.

If memory got dumped just:
Running services --> Stop!
If doesn't help, Manage Applications --> Force stop!
I don't use Advance task killer, it just dones't work...
Also keep it low on widgets!
Programs running all the time : WidgetLocker, BobD3 Clock, SystemInfo Widget, SwitchPro Widget, SetCPU, Fancy Widget, BattStatt, Launcher Pro Plus twitter and ALYac antivirus real-time scan...
The way I install my ROMs is:
1. Always Flash to stock 2.1 true RSD --> Factory reset!
2. Install Dexter Froyo -> wipe dalvik-cache/Wipe Data/ Facrory reset/ wipe Cache
3. Delete SD card craps from Dexter Froyo --> Factory reset (just in any case)
4. Install Khal's BlueStealEpicv4 -->wipe dalvik-cache/Wipe Data/ Facrory reset/ wipe cache
5. Factory reset (just in any case)
6. Delete - Talk, LatinIMEtutorial, Facebook,Tweetdeck,... etc.
P.S. I always reformat and repartition my SD card Fat32/ext3/swap(for any case )
It my seem too much, but it works for me.

You may wanna try this one http://www.multiupload.com/T05RW5U5HK ... real MIUI. The one you flashed is not actually a MIUI.
Also remember to flash Dexter 1.3 first and wipe dalvik-cache / cache partition / factory reset after restoring.

Hi, just install differtent launcher and change the menue style. After that You have original android feeling with miui advantages.
I use zeam launcher which makes the system very smooth.

Hi eSu.Matix,
i'm currently running the steelepicblue as well, it's way nicer than MIUI..I cleaned almost all the system apps and my available RAM is now always between 50 and 70 MB, however, i've never been able to reach that Quadrant score...
What tweaks did you apply? Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I love the Miui Rom for :
1. Lot of setting option posibility in Setting page.
2. Like the Toggle bar IN STATUS BAR (FULL SIZE <->) you can scroll left and right. (must have), Its easy to read and have 90% toggle icon we need.
3. Like how easy is to modify or change and customizing theme.
what i dont like is:
The rom is not fully compatible with our XT720
This rom contain some bug for XT720.
Camera have some bug and low resolution env 5meg, HDMI not working at all, VPN dosen't work on my XT720 ON VIDEOTRON NETWORK.
But even that, i have difficulty to leave away. i realy love and need the toggle bar INSIDE the notification bar.
It's is possible to have TOGGLE BAR IN STATUS BAR in other rom
like MIUI, full size <-> , scrolling, good look, easy to toggle etc.
but i realy dont like the LOOK OF toggleBar that use some rom like V4 rom GalaxyXT version

Does it do the same thing as Zeppenlinrox's Supercharged scripts?

No, it seems to work better - I had with zeppelin's script about 50MB free ram, now I have 80MB...awesome - my phone works so much better without any performance decrease...

Trying it now. Do you recommend using it with hard to kill launcher setting? Or just return that to normal?

This script changes memfree and VM values although I do not fully understand what the script is doing.
I've been using it for a few days and I see no changes what-so-ever, good nor bad.

Well,i used the script with zeppelinrox' script and it seems they work brilliantly together:20-30mb more ram

I don't see how it clears up RAM without removing applications from it =/ .

Here works pretty well (and it's not a placebo effect)! The phone rurs better... everywhere! )

definately works. just test loading apps and switch between to see which stay open. you'll notice too there should be smoother overall performance, for example when resuming from sleep. ive also asked the guy directly and the lower frequency of android os ram cleanouts mean battery improvements. i find it for some reason better than zepplins.
i use 6.1 and have home and mms locked in mem and this script running. with no script/zepplins id be unable to watch a flash stream, answer a text and keep the flash vid running, with this i can, its great!

it removes certain apps after sleeping when in background i think. things like maps/nav/streams stay open though

Gaming wise this script fails, cut the rope hangs and is so laggy but on normal cronos gingerbrad its good.
Apart from that this script is amazing! Get 80mb free with 2 apps running (and keyboard and services!)

In overall it gives snappier performance on my stone with CGMM ROM.
I would like to try this script with MIUI 1.7.1. I flashed MIUI 1.7.1 before and got 4 reboots within an hour with all the apps sit inside the ext2 partition that cost 60Mb+ RAM. I'm not hoping multi-tasking on MIUI with this script. It will be already good enough if this script can help to run those 60Mb+ RAM background services without reboot on MIUI.

applied the script on FroyoMOD.No changes.

Apart from the aggressive minfree/lowmemory killer setting, they are all sysctl tweaks.
You can get those plus more in AOR's kernel tuning menu item.
In V8 SuperCharger, I will be using the best sysctl tweaks, 3g tweaks, io scheduler tweaks (noop) and tell android that the phone doesn't have a hard drive lol
I'll probably put in the SD card tweak with a user selectable value (pick from 1 to 3 or whatever)
That way, I don't have to assume what works best for the user and the user can screw with it lol
There's more, but I forget right now...

Well, I had stopped working on it because I kept on perfecting V6.
But it's functional with the user selectable colours and what I have added so far... the 3G TurboCharger (usually build.prop tweaks but I'm screwing with local.prop) and that Overclocker that we had discussed previously.
The Overclocker won't make the final though because it's not universally applicable but I will probably make a Milestone version that includes it or make a "Zeppelinrox's Milestone Toolbox" script lol
Oh yeah, I want to add something called "Lock 'n Load Apps"

XT720 Lag when returning to home screen

Is there anything you can do to reduce the lag in getting back to the home screen after closing an application? I've recently upgraded to the CBW 2.2. I've also just loaded adw launcher. It takes 8-10 seconds for the home screen to be functional.

Wow! 8 seconds is steep. All dexter based froyo's have a few problems. Although I dont use it anymore I remember what id do to tweak the whole ROM.
1) Use launcher pro, its lighter and faster than ADW. I also like its effects. Theres a setting in it called keep in memory which stops the launcher from being killed by android so there are less redraws of your app drawer.
2) CB froyo and dexters have memory management problems and slowly with use the memory goes down significantly. Download an app called Autokiller memory optimizer from the market and set it at the strict preset. It basically modifies androids native memory management and allow more memory to be free.
3) Use milestone overclock and set it to 850 mhz 56 Vsel.
Step 2 and 3 are assuming you are rooted at the moment. These worked for me really well when I used the ROM and I had no problems at all.

I uninstalled adw and things seemed snapper. I also installed the suggested memory manager. I had already been playing around with the milestone overclocker and its set to 850/56. When I run setcpu should it say 850? I have it set to 850max 250min.
Even set this way the lag remains when returning to the home screen.

Well thats odd, with similar settings id have a very decent experience. One thing though, do you use many widgets on your homescreen? And does this lag occur when you press the home button from within an app or when you close the app. One thing you could try is setting up a swap partion on your sd card. That always speeds everything up. If you dont know how I can direct you to where you can learn how to do that. Also how did you upgrade to 2.2 CB?

hi try the go luncher i think its the best launcher.
Sent from my XT720 using XDA Premium App

It's slow whether I'm switching to home using the home button or escaping there.
If I've set milestone overclock to 850 mhz and vsel to 56 should setcpu show 850? It shows 720.

Try installing Autokiller Memory Optimizer from the market and selecting the Optimum memory profile. That used to work for me when I was running that ROM.

I've found lots of launchers to have lots of lag returning to homescreen on both androids I have had and it's a common issue with android launchers. The only launcher I have that doesn't redraw homescreen every time is SPB shell (but it still has to re-load every now and then). You can try using a launcher like Zeam, launcherpro, or golauncher, nemus launcher as those ones didn't redraw as often as others for me. And if the option is available in a launcher (it is in ADW, launcherpro and Go) select "Keep in Memory" and it might help somewhat.

My XT720 has always lagged when returning to the home screen. I only recently loaded a launcher after hearing reverendkjr talk about liking adw. I only kept adw loaded for a day. Its not installed anymore.
I thought upgrading to 2.2 would end the lag but it wasn't to be.
I've loaded autokiller and set it to strict. I still have times when it takes 8 seconds or so for the home screen to be functional. I do have a 4x2 clock / weather widget on the home screen. I've tried with and without that widget and still have bouts of lag. Maybe I'm expecting much.

My XT720 has always lagged when returning to the home screen. I only recently loaded a launcher after hearing reverendkjr talk about liking adw. I only kept adw loaded for a day. Its not installed anymore.
I thought upgrading to 2.2 would end the lag but it wasn't to be.
I've loaded autokiller and set it to strict. I still have times when it takes 8 seconds or so for the home screen to be functional. I do have a 4x2 clock / weather widget on the home screen. I've tried with and without that widget and still have bouts of lag. Maybe I'm expecting much.

Yeah, seems a problem with pretty much all launchers. Stock MIUI launcher and SPB Shell have been the only exceptions for me really. Even Zeam has done its reloading often.

Dude, this almost sounds like a hardware issue or something. How's the rest of the phone? Like when you open apps or browse web pages. Honestly i've used every froyo build and ive never had it that bad. Sluggish for me would be a second or two nothing more than that. Like in my previous comment if you're upto it you could try setting up a swap partition as a final test. After that maybe you need to reflash an sbf and go through the upgrade process from scratch. That always fixes things.

Yeah, when I had reloads it was generally not that long. If I had a lot of widgets out it might take longer to load up but I don't recall it really being 8 seconds or so...

Hey hows spb on miui? I can't seem to find it on market. How do I get it? Is it smooth like go or launcherpro

I do have some weirdness when the battery goes dead. The phone has problems seeing the sdcard after I charge. That happens occasionally but other than that no major problems.

SPB is buttery smooth. Amazing launcher - check out reviews for it online (there are a bunch). However, currently it only runs well for me on either MIUI or 2.1 (on Dexter or WanHu ROMs it has issues). And while it doesn't reload every time like other launchers, it does have to load itself up once in a while when things run out of memory (it's pretty memory intensive I think). They really need to provide it with an update already though (more widgets + features + performance improvements should come sometime, but I don't know when...).
For some reason SPB won't show up in the market on MIUI (there were a bunch of missing apps for me). I emailed SPB support about it and they gave me a copy of one from their website to install as an apk and it worked perfectly. I did already own SPB from android market. You can go to their site and buy the apk directly if you want. It is more expensive than most apps, so you may want to wait until they do that long expected update before diving in. Still, it's a fantastic launcher.
