[Q] First time Rooter - Question about Android Rev. HD and Kernels! - HTC Sensation

Second time poster here (not important, silly first post elsewhere..)
Im new to rooting phones and installing ROMs on phones im really careful about all that stuff D: i dont like to tamper with stuff but this phone has so much more potential to it and i think it can be way faster than how it currently is that i decided to experiment with Android Revolution HD.
Now im posting here because i dont have enough posts to post under the thread, so pardon me if im breaking some rules here but posting there was my first choice.
I have some perhaps simple questions...
when it says "Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) - latest official HTC RUU 1.45.401.2
This is improved version of stock ROM - no visual changes!
New kernel: 2.6.35.14 (under-volted & tweaked). Details below:
CPU up to 1.56 GHz (1.51 GHz by default - original speed for MSN8660 chipset) - controlled automatically by built it O/C Daemon..."
does the ROM come with the kernel included or do i have to go pick it up from the custom kernels in the thread, and if so, which one do i even pick? D:
also, i wish to over clock it! does the custom rom already bring the CPU to 1.56GHz without me having to do anything?
I really dont get kernels and i have read the guides about them over and over again

Hi,
ADHD ROM 3.0.4 comes with kernel already installed, running at 1.56 GHZ.
If you want to over clock, then you need 1.72 kernel.
Check my sig...Faux123.
You need 0.1.0 1.72 to over clock...

The CPU runs at 1.51GHz by default on 3.0.4 and you can go up to 1.56GHz, if you want a higher overclocking you should install the 1.78GHz version of the kernel here :

Thanks guys for the replies! i have another issue regarding the ROM and its exactly the last question from the FAQ on the thread
Q 25: How can I enable built it screen-shot feature on Sense 3.0 < based ROMs?.
A: Edit your build.prop file in /sytem and change:
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
to
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true and clear dalvik-cache or install ShootMe from the Android Market.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now... how does one edit the build.prop file? i tried installing astro file manager, opening the ZIP of the ROM in the SD card, but i didnt see no file and im confused about how to do this as im new to rooting and ROMs.
Could anyone elaborately explain this process for me? im great with step by step instructions. Again id post in the thread but im not allowed to :/ and this is the only issue so far with the ROM everything else works great!

That feature is enabled in 2.3.4 by default now

See but after installing the ROM the screenshot isn't working. :-/

You have to go into Efs explorer and mount system r/w to be able to see and edit those files.
Or do it from and teminal session or recovery

Could you please elaborate?

1. Start ES File Explorer
2.Press menu button
3.Go Settings
4. Activate Root Eplorer
5. Mount File System
6. go find the file to edit and do it
You could also download a app called drocap2 and use for screen shot

Screenshot does work by default, it's a bit hit and miss for me though. Works when it feels like it

It is just that mike has disable it in the Android Rev.HD ROM
Because some people had problem that is made screenshots
all the time and they needed to remove battery to be able to turn it off

Awesome! Was able to find the file and all until the very end which didn't allow me to save the text changes from false to true because the file was in a zip.
Any idea around this?

Your in the wrong place.
Look for /system on the top
not on /sdcard
After that boot into recovery and choose
Advanced and wipe dalvik cache and restart

Hey newbies
Dont be fooled like I was - at first.
This ROM disables the power button to turn it on from standby.
Perhaps this needs to be bolded or highlighted in the first post as it caused me a few minutes of concern.

I see that you are using some of my mods, without credit, and have removed my name from the files.
This is not good practice.

just to check the original HTC sense is still there right? Getting sick of e stock froyo w/o app2sd+ n very fast running into low storage space again.
Havent root my desire b4... care to shed some light guys? I believe hv to use evoker3 to root rite? how to install this custom rom?
i only know how to install winmo custom rom n android is really very very new to me.
one more last qn, i saw this "undervolt module and script by iscaela". i believe this is to undervolt e cpu when it is not running full hz to save batt but does it o/c e cpu when more computation power is needed?

yes, you can download unrevoked 3.21 which root hboot 0.93 onwards, no slcd black screen issue. i encountered black slcd on my desire yesterday. lol.
after which you can flash any roms via the recovery.
not really sure if goldcard is needed. i made a goldcard from the given 2gb microsd, not even sure it is done properly. it shows 1.3gb+ space.

U do not need goldcard if you are using unrevoked. I used the goldcard for my first Desire (amoled) and used only unrevoked for my 2nd Desire (slcd).
IMO, using unrevoked was much easier.
After u have root your Desire,
1. install ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Download any of the ROM that interest you and save to your sdcard.
3. Use ROM Manager(create ext3 if needed) and reboot into recovery
4. DO A NANDROID BACKUP then install ROM from sdcard. You can restore from backup if there is anything wrong
5. Reboot once done and please wait, as the new ROM requires to build the necessary cache.
Hope this help

does unrevoked works for AMOLED? or is it meant for SLCD only? Mine is the AMOLED bought in May this year.
sorry, really a newbie here. How to root my desire using unrevoked? I already download the unrevoked recovery flash tool and the HBOOT drivers for windows. from the unrevoked webpage, it says "We recommend installing the custom recovery image for all users who want rooted phones." where to get the custom recovery image?
After rooting, is my desire still on the same WWE Asia 2.2 OTA rom but with root enabled?
How do I unroot and get back my stock rom if need to seek for warranty at HTC?
Thread restored due to application of correct credit and updating ROM accordingly.
good to be back. after someone thinks that adding comment and if-else statement in a commonly used script make the script his. all people that i credited are in the first post (and deservely so).
anyway, will post an update to this rom soon.
Thank you very much.
I am so love the official roms.only because i love stable.
And now i found your rom.thank you for your work.
But when i flash it,I found,that you have some change. and iam sorry that i don't like it much.
Iam not means that is not good.only because i want a pure experiense.
also i can remove apks that was not from official roms.but i think you have some changes that i did't found .
so,i am think that:are you will post some roms that base on official rom,and only add "A2SD+ and ROOT"? Of course remove HBOOT and RECOVERY.
Can you do this for me? For someone like rom i say? I hope you can anderstand what i say.
Big sorry for my english.

[ROM] 2.29.405.5 WWE - Rooted/Bash/BusyBox/UV [v5 21/12/10]

Added a script as an attachment to this post that walks user through the removal of applications from /system without the user knowing how to use ADB.
I'm very happy with my purchase of the HTC Desire back in April this year, but have always thought battery life could be better and believe it should be the main aspect to improve with custom software.
I've read and experienced good things in regards to battery life with 2.29.405, so decided to make myself a ROM that's based entirely on it, with only removing applications I don't use, adding undervolt for even more battery saving and adding AP2SD which is essential due to the low internal memory.
I thought I would share it in case others may wish to try it out, I highly recommend the new radio.
With thanks to:
Paul - for rooting the HTC Desire
UnrEVOked - for making the above easier and finding ways around the new bootloaders
IEF and co - for the S-OFF hboot
Cyanogen - His Wiki on compiling all things Android and guides on how Android works
Richardtrip & snq- - helped a lot with questions I've had
Teppic74 - Getting me interested in ROM cooking, his modified AP2SD and scaling scripts
iscaela - Undervolt driver
dsixda - for the Kitchen
What you get:
ROM based on 2.29.405 WWE RUU posted here
Busybox (1.17.3)
Bash
Init.d support
NOT deodexed
AP2SD+ via EXT partition (Supports EXT2 and 3)
Read ahead value changed to 128, improves reading speed from the SDCard
Undervolt driver with -100mV on all freq's (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Moved hosts to /data to allow updating via AdFree Android application without the need to have S-OFF (do not use the symlink in AdFree Android)
Perflock disabled (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Updated applications
- REM GSD
Installation Guide
If you do not have an EXT2 or 3 partition on your SDCard, create one before going onto step 2
Copy the ROM .zip file to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery
If you've come from a different ROM, wipe data, ext, cache and dalvik-cache
Flash the .zip file
If you downloaded the ROM Editor script and wish to use it - do not reboot and proceed to step 7. Otherwise reboot as normal
Extract the contents of the ROM-Editor.zip
Run the ROM-Editor.bat file
Select option 1
Read the warning
Follow the prompts on screen
Once applications have been removed, press 3 to exit and reboot
If you've not already installed the recommended Radio, reboot into recovery and install the radio
Download link:
http://www.multiupload.com/SAEPLNMOG7
Recommended Radio - one that comes with the RUU
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Addons (Attached to this post)
Reduce Undervolt - Reduces undervolt from 100mv to 75mv, flash if you're experiencing stability issues.
ROM Editor - Run ROMEditor.bat as administrator and follow the on screen instructions. Recommended to run after first flash.
Change log:
v5 - 21/12/2010

Sorry for my english and for my stupid question but hboot upgrade or not, and is german language supported?
Hi, I installed it 3 hours ago and I'm trying it. It's very fast at now (I put LauncherPro Plus)! So, some question for you:
1) Can I put SetCPU? It will work?
2) If i'd like to uninstall some features like facebook, footprints ecc can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
i waited this really thnx good work
just a question if i am not a fan of a2sd+ and i didnt make an sd ext
if i install this rom it will take more memory than the base rom or what ??
i mean in some roms if it's a2sd+ and u dont have ext after flashing the rom u find that the memory is very low and that's what i'm asking about now..

It's not a stupid question. According to the language menu it supports:
English
English Irish
French
Italian
Spanish
It doesn't contain a hboot upgrade.
You can use German via More Locale2 from the Market, failing that I can try and add German support. I'm surprised a WWE ROM doesn't list German.

1) SetCPU should work yes, this ROM doesn't support overclocking but will allow underclocking.
2) You can remove any applications you want by booting into recovery and removing the .apk and .odex file via adb shell.

It won't take any more memory than the base ROM. Nothing gets installed to the /data partition until you setup phone preferences via the setup wizard, install system application updates via the market or restore backups. Also due to the removal of peep etc, the ROM takes up less space on the /system partition.

thnx 4 ur reply

I've never used mod install location so I can't say how well it works, I do know that:
1. Not everything can be forced to the SD Card
2. Some applications like flash, third party keyboards and applications with widgets you use, don't like being installed to the SD Card
In regards to the Mirror, does the multi upload link not provide you with more choices that RapidShare? Unfortunately I'm away until the weekend so there's not much I can do until I'm back.

Hi, I'm here again! Can I deodex your ROM with autodeodex from AmonRA? If I deodex it, then I can remove Application like facebook ecc simply from phone...but shall I remove HTC sense too?
Thank you for posting this

Push the bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/customize/resource, via adb. As its in /system you'll need to do via recovery, unless you're S-OFF and you know how to mount the system as R/W whilst phone is running.

SDCARD Partitioning Tutorial.
I know that with EXT4, partitioning the sdcard can be a hassle. Here's a little workaround to help you get it partitioned the easiest way I know without having to mount systems and such in Terminal Emulator. This way makes you flash 2 seperate recoveries, but I would rather do this than the other methods which could take upwards of a half hour or even longer. I've seen people that were working on it for a couple hours. Without further adieu:
NOTE: If you are running RFS, just follow step 1. and you'll be done. If you are running EXT4, skip right to step 2. and follow from there.
1. If you are running RFS, then you do not need to follow any other steps. In the green CWM2.5.5 recovery, just go to "advanced" in recovery and choose the Partition option. It's going to give you two questions for sizes that you want. The first size is going to be the ext size. For this it will give you a few options, but I don't recommend choosing anything below 512. You will see all the options when they pop up, just choose what you feel most comfortable with. The next thing it's going to tell you to select is the swap size. I again don't recommend choosing anything below 128 for this option. You will again see a list of options, so choose what you feel most comfortable with.
2. If you are running EXT4, then follow these steps and you'll be up and running with your new partition very soon. First thing you need to do is gather all the tools you're going to need. Here are the list of tools you will need:
A. One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5
B. One Click Root & Recovery 3.0.0.6
Quite the long list huh? lol ...I told you it's gonna be simple lol.
Download both of these files (if you don't have one or the other already) and extract them to an easy to find location on your computer somewhere.
3. Ok, you're going to do this just the same as you would if you were rooting your phone from a stock state. And to answer your question that's running through your head right now, No, this will not return you to RFS. You will still be on EXT4 the entire time, so there's not real need to backup your sdcard or worry about having to sit through the backup&restore again. Once again, to be very clear... Even though you are flashing cwm2.5.5 recovery, you will REMAIN EXT4. So let's continue. Make sure USB Debugging is on and plug your phone into your computer. Do NOT mount the sdcard, just have the phone plugged in. Open the One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5, and run the program. When it's finished, your phone will reboot. Do NOT unplug it until the script is complete. The script will say "Operation Complete. Hit any button to continue" or something along those lines. Just hit a button and the script will automatically close. You can now reboot into recovery and you will see the 2.5.5 recovery with the green letters. If you don't have the green letters, then you didn't run the right One Click, and you should start over using the correct one lol . For those that successfully flashed the 2.5.5 recovery, move on to step 4.
4. If you have the green letters, then we'll continue, if not, repeat step 3. with the correct one click lol. Now that you have the green letters, revert to step 1. When you're finished following the same instructions from step 1, move on to step 5. If you have any issues with anything from step 1. (which you shouldn't, but if you do) click here to go to Mibbit's irc chat website. Along the top left side you will see 2 tabs labeled "Home" and "Connect". Make sure you are on the tab that says "Home". When on the tab labeled "Home", you will see the box in the middle of the page. Right beside the letters "IRC:" is a dropdown box. You're going to click on the dropdown arrow and select "EFNET". Next, you're going to enter your nickname, and finally, beside "channel:" type "#viper" and select "Go". That will bring you to Team Vipers chat where one of us will be able to help you.
5. Now that you are partitioned, it's time to restore the EXT4 recovery. If you do not restore the EXT4 recovery, you will not be able to flash any new ROM's or Kernels, so you MUST restore the correct recovery. To do so, you simply do the same steps. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on and plug your phone in. You do NOT need to mount. Now you simply run the 3.0.0.6 One Click Root & Recovery. Let it run through it's process and it will reboot itself. Do NOT exit out of the command prompt until it says "finished, press any key to continue". Once your phone reboots, you can then reboot into recovery and you will see that you have the orange letters again. When you see the orange letters, you now have a partitioned sdcard and you are back on the correct recovery.
**ONCE THE KERNEL IS RELEASED (Which should be within the next 24 hours as long as my testers don't see any issues) THEN MOVE ON TO STEP 6.**
6. Now that you're partitioned, the only thing left to do is flash the kernel. Connect your phone to your computer and copy the Kernel to your sdcard if you have not done so already. To flash it, just choose "Install zip from sdcard" followed by "Choose zip from sdcard" and simply navigate to where you stored it on your sdcard. That's all. It's quite quick and painless and you should be able to do it all within 10-15 minutes.

Do i sense a 3.0.1 update to be sweet! or is the current 3.0 this version?
Hi BT. Thanks for the great ROM. I am using 3.0 right now. What is the difference between 3.0 and 3.0.1? Thanks. Keep up the great work! And one quick question. When I try to install lagfix, everythiing works besides the last step, installing viperspeed. It says I cant install it because I dont have enough room. but I have 185MB free. any ideas?
Link? I hope it's not there or else I'll feel more jerky than usual. Oh and super-thanks for those file names on the battery mods, so important... I have a mess of files like GREENBATMODTHISTHAT with no versions or anything and I guess I didn't realize that I needed to keep mods organized by ROM.

3.0.1 is just a new name for it so if we make updates there's less confusion... It's still the same as 3.0, but hopefully this will eliminate some questions in the thread lol.
3.0.1 = 3.0 ...No new updates yet.

Hey BT there is a app called WidgerLocker Lockscreen which lets you put any widget/app i believe on you lock screen that might be helpful i think..
Just installed it and brought back the aosp lock screen might wanna check it out... Send me a pm of ur email so i can send u the apk cause its a paid app
Another quick question BT, what are the other options for in the lagfix? Are they for future upgrades or not necessary at all?
Hey BT I just want to thank you for all your hard work and your great rom. I hope this hasn't been answered but is it necessary to remove my original root before flashing any of your roms? I have flashed most all of them and I have not deleted it. I'm not having any problems with 3.0. Thank you....

READ FIRST
READ SECOND
READ THIRD
This is really helpful if a person is new to the forums. Some Lingo, Jargon!!
S-Off: This term is used when describing the security radio. With S-on only signed ROMs may be flashed, when S-off unsigned ROMs may be flashed IE custom ROMs.
Root: This means the user will have unrestricted full access to almost the entire system stack. Another way of describing it would be, having administrator rights on a windows computer
Custom Rom: This stands for “read only Memory”. With Android OS, a custom rom allows you to change things that were un-changeable.
Hybrid ROM: When referring to the MT4G Slide. This ROM contains both HTC Sense and AOSP Theme.
(Unlocked)Bootloader: Loads the core operating system. Unlocked bootloader means users can modify what files the bootloader opens.
H-Boot: Hitting power+volume down after a power down or restart brings up the H-boot (skating androids). This is used to get into recovery and can also be used to flash files using the proper file name.
Fastboot: Fastboot is the name of a tool used to manipulate the flash partitions of the Android developer phone. It can also boot the phone using a kernel image or root filesystem image which reside on the host machine rather than in the phone flash
Zipalign: Is an archive alignment tool. The benefit of zipalign is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
A.O.S.P "Android Open Source Project": Pure google source untouced by carriers and phone manufacturers.
SDK ADK: “Software Development Kit”” Android Development kit” A suite of tools that helps developers create software for the Android OS.
ADB: “Android Debug Bridge” Allows a user to control and interface with the Android OS.
SBF: System binary file. “I sbfed back to stock” Meaning, I reverted my phone back to stock using a system binary file with a stock image.
Kernel: This is the center of the computer operating system. It provides basic services to the other parts of the system.
Overclock: Forcing the processor to increase its clock rate (therefore more cycles per second). Normally used to get better performance.
Underclock: Reducing the processor clock rate (less cycles per second). This is used to get battery performance and increase processor life.
Undervolt: Lowering the voltage while still maintaining clock rate. This is used to help save power and heat reduction.
Frosted/Defrost: A term used when freezing (frosted) an application or unfreezing (defrost).
Bloatware/Debloat: The many useless applications that carriers add onto the stock os (bloatware). Debloat means that the bloatware has been removed.
Master Subsidy Lock (MSL): Many phones are sold below cost, (at a loss to the carrier,) with the expectation that the money will be recouped in the cost of the monthly service plan. The up-front loss that is later recouped is called a Subsidy.For this to work financially for the carrier, the user must not buy the phone and then use it with a different carrier.The carriers slap on a MSL so the user cannot switch service providers.The term "unlock" means to get the MSL code to free the phone from the carriers lock.

thanks for your help. You helped more than you think you did!
Blue6IX said:
The system is still building symlinks and installing things behind the scenes on first boot of a fresh installation. If you choose to play with it before the 5 minute mark, you risk losing data that has yet to be written.
The system will serve you, the user, before itself, and will drop from memory things it still needs to write to process your requests. This can result in buggy performance or problems down the line, and lead to frustrating issues that developers of the ROM can't figure out - because no one else will have these problems. Please be advised of this.

Nandroid is what clockwork mod calls the actual backup file.
Backup means to create a backup.
Nandroid is the file backup of your system . Hence nan (small) and droid the os. So you can also say you made a small android os .
Ill add this to terminology when I get to it. Hope this helped.

Very helpful info, I unrooted, but theunlockr guide stated that this would turn the phone back to S-ON, but it hasnt, i have the stock tmobile rom back on the phone, but HBOOT states I still have S-ON, is this a problem? is there a way to get S-ON again so I can start the root process over? or am is there shortcuts I can take to root now that I have S-off?
I actually do not know. I would assume s on is attainable. Why would you want s on, you can re root without going threw rev again.
Follow the root guide its easy enough.

You mean the guide from theunlockr? or another guide? if its another guide please post it? as far as following theunlockr method, in order to gain perm root it stated I have to first boot into recovery, and then flash the ZIP file, but when I try to go into recovery, I get a red exclamation mark, even though I have S -OFF

[Scripts] The Legit Zip (Feb 8, 2012) & Nifty Coniptions Tweaks v1.01 -

For the newest tweaks, see post #2. Will have links and info there.
Here is a flashable zip of 3 scripts that when put together speed up your phone and make it faster. I did not write these scripts, I just edited them to work like Car-O-Dopes tweaks. It basically has the same values as Car-o-Dopes tweaks. I used the S97ramscript, KickAssKernel, and 02sicktweaks but I changed the values of each script to match what Car-o-Dopes tweaks do, and I wanted to share this with you all because it makes installing these tweaks easier and faster. Thanks to zeppelinrox for the kickasskernelizer, Juwe11 for the S97ramscript, Smokinl1337 for the 02sicktweaks, coffehandle for giving me the idea when he made his own tweaks, and Car-o-Dope for coming up with the ultimate combination of out-of-memory settings and sysctl tweaks that make your phone smooth as butter.
I use this on my HTC Evo 4g running Shooter E3D, with AnthraX kernel and it works like a charm.
Just incase anyone is wondering what this does for your phone, it can make it run a lot faster, smoother, and a whole lot better. It could possibly increase battery life as well.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40376256/niftyconiptionstweaks.zip
Thanks to coffeehandle for update-script, now there's no need to mount /system and /data. When using either of the two updated scripts below, skip steps 9 and 11.
Sense Version (skip steps 9 and 11)

Flash at your own risk. I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions: Follow Exactly
1) Make a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong or you want to revert.
2) Download a file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (I use Root explorer).
3) Open up root explorer and go to /system/etc/init.d. Click on the "Mount R/W"(that way you can delete files).
4) Delete any or move to a folder on your sdcard (incase you want to revert) any ram scripts or ram tweaks you may have that is in the "init.d" folder (examples of ram scripts or tweaks are 01sysctl, 06sysctl, 02sicktweaks, S97ramscript, 99supercharge, and 98Kickasskernel).
5) Also if you are running v6 supercharger, you need to un-supercharge. If you are running Kickass Kernelizer, you need to un-kernelize and do not run those scripts while you have the niftyconiptionsscripts installed.
6) Uninstall any ram manager apps or task killers and do not use these.
7) After you uninstall all of that, reboot your phone and verify that none of the scripts you had before are still installed. (it will mess with the scripts you are about to install).
8) Boot into recovery (preferably Amon Ra).
9) [ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING THE ORIGINAL TWEAKS] Once in recovery, you need to mount /system, then mount /data.
10) Find the niftyconiptionstweaks.zip you downloaded and flash it.
11) [ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING THE ORIGINAL TWEAKS] After you flash the zip, go back and unmount /system. Don't mess with the /data because after you flashed the zip, it automatically unmounted the /data for you.
12) Reboot phone and enjoy. Let your phone set at the lock screen for about 2 minutes, unlock and let it set for another 2 minutes to let it settle in. Your phone will become dramatically smoother after about an hour.
To see if the settings stick, in root explorer go to /system/etc/init.d and see if you can find the scripts. For a double check, download Rom Toolbox, go to the "performance" tab then check the "Auto Memory Manager" and see if it has values of 6,12,55,70,85,100 and "Sysctl tweaks" section to see if it has the values of 4096, 70, 50, 50.
If you're having trouble getting the settings to stick, double check that you've done all the instructions and if you have, download Busybox Installer off of the market and change your busybox to 1.18.2. Remove the scripts that may have been installed when you first flashed these tweaks, reboot, reboot again into recovery and flash the scripts.
Nifty Coniptions Tweaks
Updated niftyconitpionstweaks. Install just as you would before and follow directions as posted above. I got rid of some unnecessary settings in the scripts. Also your sdcard read ahead speed will change to 512kb which is the optimal value for the evo.

The Legit Zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40376256/Nifty-v1.01/TheLegitZip.zip
Here is The Legit Zip I just put together. This has the same settings as the V6 Supercharger on option 8 and the Kickasskernalizer. I did not change any values to these so its the same as installing those two scipts manually. Again, I did not write these scripts, I just put them into a tweak bundle to make it easier to install. Thanks to zepplinrox for making the V6 supercharger and the Kickasskernalizer. To install this, follow the same instructions in the first post and remember to skip steps 9 and 11.
To see if the settings stuck, download Rom Toolbox Pro and go to the performance tab, Kernel tweaks or Sysctl Tweaks (depending on what version of the application you have) and see if it reads as Min Free KBytes - 4096, Dirty Ratio - 95, Dirty Background Ratio - 60, VFS Cache Pressure - 10. Then go to the Auto Memory Manager and see if it reads as 6,12,150,165,180,200.
If you would like me to add another version of the V6 Supercharger just let me know.

oh bah i swear once i decide to flash something else new stuff comes that i wanna try out. any thoughts on flashing this after a fresh(i dont mean the fresh rom i mean new) rom install? just do the rom and setup and reboot then or think its ok to flash right after the rom (obviously following instructions as above after step 8)?

You should flash the rom and boot up because remember you need to delete any ram scripts or tweaks that may be built into the rom itself and also so you can be able to tell a difference after using these scripts if you like it or not.

You mentioned in the OP that you were running the Antrax kernel... I thought it didn't support init.d? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I remembered reading that somewhere. If it does, then that's awesome cuz I love that kernel.
It's works for me. I've also got the most updated kernel he released. I've never heard of it not supporting init.d

Then obviously what I read was misinformation. It doesn't make sense to create a kernel that doesn't support it. BTW, this little tweaks zip you created is awesome. Thank you for your work sir.
wow i did the exact same thing and was thinking if i should post it
EDIT:
OP, if you want a better update script let me know. You wont have to do all that mounting and unmounting
Damn, this probably wouldn't work well with unvisible tweaks, I think it also has the ramscript, but if it does then wouldn't it just replace what was made before, so I wouldn't think it would cause any problems.
We need a BULK tweak zip that has all of these tweaks already in it, **** even include vipermod and v6 supercharger, oh my would that be a amazing all in one script.

you dont need to use v6 with a ramscript. Its redundant.
Even though it does have other cool options

Yeah ill give it a try.
I assume I'd just delete the old "updater-script" and replace it with yours correct?

To check if they flashed use root explorer and go to ect\init.d or system/ect/init.d

Exactly like evo4gnoob said. You can also download Rom Toolbox, go to the "performance" tab then check the "Auto Memory Manager" and see if it has values of 6,12,55,70,85,100 and "Sysctl tweaks" section to see if it has the values of 4096, 70, 50, 50.
