[TOOL] RavensScript v1.4 added BFS311 + CFS, (turbo opt, zipalign, bash)

This is a simple script i constructed to do some of your everyday usages such as mounting system as rw or ro, mounting sdcard, unmounting options and new features such as the option to install Zipalign to any rom and an option to execute Zipalign. Also the option to install bash and have a custom built bash_profile which you can edit anyway you like. Also there is an option to install my personal "mountSys" script which basically does mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 system, and all you have to type in terminal is "su" and then "mountSys" to mount system. Also reboot and exit options. If you have any special requests or bugs lemme know, im still in my rookie stages of self taught scripting nd developement.
Credit for Zipalign goes to wesgarner
Credit for bash shell goes to mzet
Credit for BFS311 ram edit goes to cyanogen
Credit for CFS ram edit goes to dwang
If you dont kno how to use or what exactly bash is click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537827&highlight=bash+profile to go to mzet's thread
Instructions
> if you dont have a folder called tmp (/sdcard/tmp) then copy the whole tmp folder to your sdcard, if you do then just cp the files to your tmp folder
> in terminal do:
sh /sdcard/tmp/ravensScript.sh
> make sure before you install anything that you mount your system by either installing my mountSys script first and then runing "mountSys" or choosing the "mount system as rw" option
AGAIN if you have any special requests or bugs lemme know nd like i said im a rookie so bare with me. Thanks
NOTICE TO DEV's, you can pull the Turbo Optimize script if you like
Changelog
v1.4
force close fix
v1.3
(added) BFS311 by cyan
(added) CFS by dwang
cleaned up a bit more
v1.2
Turbo Optimization (NEW)
Cleaned up look
Turbo Optimize is just dexopting your .apks in /system/app and a few of the framework.jar files. The idea came from digging into my friends Droid and uncovering new odex's. Also after optimizing it runs an updated 1.6 (donut) permissions script so there are no fc errors. Things should be slightly faster and a small increase in mb.

Umm, I dont want to be the computer history nerd butting in, but Bash is not based off of Mac OS*. Bash predates Mac OS X, which is the only Mac OS that is a Unix (I am not a mac guy but I am pretty sure there was no Bash in Mac before OS X, at least not in an official capacity). Mac OS X does use Bash as its primary command shell, but so does several other OSs like many Linuxs, and the GNU operating system. From the wiki:
"Bash is the shell for the GNU operating system from the GNU Project." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash)

That said... I would love to know what exactly this "turbo optimization" is?

Having looking at the script, turbo optimization is just dexopting your APKs and the framework.
And i'm pretty sure the OP just got the code from this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561579
IMO dexopting is ok idea if you're short on space; but when most people are either using A2SD or have larger devices, the drawbacks on dexopting everything means it's not worth it.

odex's apks, its actually juz part of it, messing around with the Droid i've found even more ways to optimize nd speed things up, only problem is only part of the script will work in terminal so im writing a new script to execute from recovery console, so it will be included in v1.3

Turbo optimize is just odexing apks and a few of framework.jars ,the idea came from observing my friends Droid, i removed all odexes and noticed a speed decrease, also noticing that all /system/framework/*.jars were odexed, so i just wrote the script to odex just a few of framework because im getting a bug when trying to odex the Dream's framework

there is no mountsys script in zip?

Dexopting is fairly easy to write a script to execute, my script didnt come from any thread, another one of you nerds in my class actually just simply explained what it is and how to script it........that being said i pulled dexopt-wrapper from one of the first hero roms released, anyways no credit beeing taken likei said its just a basic tool and shouldnt cause any trouble but much respect due to you devs or wanna-bees......

Tried the script, after I rebooted I encountered many FC's.
It's a great idea and sounds good, but is a no-go at least for me on Cyanogenmod's latest firmware.
Most, if not all, of my apps are zipaligned already. The "Turbo optimization" only brought me more trouble, though.
Not trying to bash on your work, dev - I'm just posting my results; it's probably something gone wrong on my part.

[THINK TANK] Toggle between RHack and NonRamHack

Hey Everyone,
I was just wondering that if we have a build to which we have BOTH RamHack kernels and the non-ramhack kernel, would there be a way to write a quick app or script to switch between them.
I guess we could store both kernels on the /sdcard and use a .sh script to flash_image between them, and reboot. I dont believe we can "hot-swap" between kernels, but if anyone knows a method, please respond here
If anyone can think of a better or more efficient method of doing this, I believe the whole community would benefit. Lets see if we can get something like this going....

is it really that hard to boot into recovery and flash an update.zip?

I guess this is what you're looking for:
http://wootroot.com/blog/?page_id=1463
Ive seen it implemented on one other rom on xda, but can't remember which one ..

I am trying to make it easier and more efficient to switch between them. The uneek switch seems exactly what im looking for

I put together a version of uneeks script that can be flashed over SuperD or FastTest3.1.
ISSUE THOUGH, I cant get it to flash correctly, as I get the "update-script not found" error, even though I signed it and created the appropriate META-INF directories.
Here is the file, if anyone thinks they can fix it
Uneek Script (needs to be fixed\signed) : http://www.4shared.com/file/257220832/8b6c2940/uneek.html

Alpha release
Here is a very alpha release of a working port of uneek's RamHack/NonRamHack Toggle script ported to SuperD 1.10.2 by myself.
http://www.4shared.com/file/257253893/a61182a2/Uneek_Script.html
Instructions
extract zip file to /sdcard/uneek
Launch terminal
type 'su'
type 'sh /sdcard/uneek/install-uneek.sh' -should see no errors/messages
execute 'uneek' from /system/bin
Chose Ram option or JIT (not tested) options, all others prob dont work as I didnt modify them
reboot (you must do so to see effects take place, the kernel doesn't "hot-swap" :-( )
WiFi still works, CC & Swap work.
Issues
Switch breaks boot screen - not sure why as its stored in framework-res.apk, but still a bug
Leave me feedback\ improvements\whatever......

You still have to boot into recovery so you might as well flash a zip containing a rhack or noram-hack kernel.

I did some scripts based off Kings,
get gscript from the market ( donate if you like it )
and drop script into the gscript folder
with a little uname query you could have just one script, which switches based on the current running kernel
Edit: , actually if your kernel needs different kernel modules, then you will have to build in a copy ( which I suspect is where king got his rwsystem bit from , he copied from a script which updates the kernel modules )
Firerat said:
...<snip>...
my faster, much safer script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ -e /data/kernels/full3d.img ];
then
if [ "`md5sum /data/kernels/full3d.img|cut -d " " -f1`" != "061284119d4ce46cbe0b585e0a8b2d0b" ];
then
echo "/data/kernels/full3d.img isn't the version I was expecting"
echo "I'm not going to flash it, as it may have become corupt"
exit 1
else
flash_image boot /data/kernels/full3d.img

echo "Rebooting now"
sleep 1
shutdown -r now
fi
else
echo "Sorry, /data/kernels/full3d.img"
echo "seems to be missing....."
exit 1
fi
and yeah, I could never spell corrupt , is it one or two 'r's?
PS , the md5sums in the scripts are for the power off fix boot.img's I did for you guys
if you are wanting to switch to different boot.imgs then update the md5sum its checking for ( or remove the check )

If you have an engineering SPL installed, there isn't any need for the recovery partition, so might as well install your second kernel to the recovery partition. Boot normal = normal, boot recovery = ramhack.

might as well switch with script and keep recovery for the odd times when you just want to quickly flash some zips from a list and not at your pc.

If the only difference is ramhack on one but not the other, then the wlan module will be fine -- there is NO REASON to be switching modules around with your kernel unless you use a kernel that is binary incompatible -- which means DIFFERENT VERSION.

yeap, true but why not keep options open?
What if they decide they want to switch between binary incompatible kernels?
They would need to switch kernel modules anyway.
so get a script that works, and is simple to 'generate'.
I know you are trying to keep it simple, but you are actually needlessly setting up restrictions, which would then require a script to get around.
So why not use a script from the start, keeping the added convenience of a recovery image?

If the only objective is to be able to easily toggle between ramhack and noramhack, then the recovery solution is (1) more reliable, (2) doesn't require reflashing NAND, (3) just easier to activate. With the reflashing approach, you have to either go into recovery and flash something, or pause-and-wait-and-autoreboot.

did you ever read anything?
the script is as easy as a couple of taps, maybe home button, swipe tap tap.
( the key app here is gscript )
the flash is over very quickly, it checks md5sum first, it reboots.
you have to reboot with the recovery method anyway
recovery method restricts to binary compatible kernels, or require a script to switch kernel modules.
It is a no brainer imo, keep it flexible and keep the convenience of a true recovery.img
ok, so nand only gets what, on average 10,000 writes, is it really going to reduce its life in practice?
I like your idea, it will work but it just isn't as flexible as a script.
It is however more suited to an mt3g, offering duel ROM
I'm thinking mtdblock3 for one ROM, block4 for the other
errm, data , yeah might need to section that up somehow
any reason why a loopback can't sit on yaffs?
oh, and the ramdisk will need tweaking, obviously.
Sorry back on topic
Guys,
Either will work, if you do have incompatible kernels, and are having problems with scripts just let me know, I can probably make a script to generate a script for you.

1) Booting into recovery to change out your kernel image is totally unnecessary. You can do it via CLI with the flash_image command -- most every modded ROM already includes it.
2) Removing the recovery image just to put up a second install also seems somewhat overkill for devices as heavily limited on storage as most Android phones -- especially the G1.
3) I don't know about loopback on yaffs2 -- but I don't see any reason why it couldn't work.
4) It really seems to me that what we need is some kernel hacker who's familiar with hotswapping patched files -- a la ksplice ( http://www.ksplice.com/ ) -- to hack together a genuine, non-rebooting, RAMhack switch.
5) In all seriousness; what makes gscript superior to ASE ( http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting )?

Pesky perniciously persistently phantasmagoric P!!!
I just keep on seeing people referring to gScript when ASE is a vastly more robust offering. It can run its scripts as daemons, run in background, run in terminal, it offers the same desktop shortcut option -- and more importantly, it can run Python, Perl, JRuby, Lua, BeanShell, JavaScript, Tcl, and shell scripts. (It loads the interpreters onto your /sdcard.) I've asked this question more than once before and I've never gotten an answer. It really seems like people just aren't aware of ASE -- which is kinda sad, considering the fact that ASE is still seeing continuing development whereas development ended on gScript sometime at the end of last year.

Glad this is getting your attention....My script was pretty dirty anyways.
Anyway you can package it up in signed-zip format for easy access and modification of boot.imgs. Im having some issues with the update-script portion during the signing process tos keeping me from getting mine to be "flashable"

How do I under voltage faux kernel?

Hi there,
I am fairly new to custom ROMs etc and recently installed LeeDroid 4.3.0 successfully. However, I also wanted to try out a custom ROM and installed Faux' kernel too (mainline).
Battery drain became a lot better, but there's an optional feature to under voltage the CPU. According to the guide in the thread, I have to put
Code:
echo "-25000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels
somewhere. Can someone tell me in where I have to put this in detail? Any other things I should take care of / should be aware of?
If this topic was discussed already (sure it was), please don't hesitate to link me to it, I just couldn't find anything via forums search.
Thanks!

You can run it with a terminal emulator directly on your phone or through adb/shell on your pc.
Either way, it's not going to stick and you should repeat the operation after every reboot if you want to keep the UV.
You can add that line to a script, though, so that it is executed automatically after every boot.
I usually add that line to the init.post_boot.sh script in /system/etc (between the other MSN8660 tweaks). The alternative is adding a file in the init.d folder.

[CUSTOM][KERNEL][HOWTO] Droidwall on the Samsung Galaxy Y

Hi there
I got droidwall running on the SGY.
Please first read the whole post. I add changes at the end of it.
Here's what I did:
1. follow this great tut from irfanbagus. Thanks a lot irfanbagus!
2. After running "make bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig", set this in .config:
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=y
and continue irfanbagus's steps
3. Install the new boot.img, e.g. via mai77's method as shown here
4. Profit! (as in: use droidwall )
Notes:
Alternatively the changes in .config could be set in cm21553_totoro_05_defconfig or via make menuconfig
If you don't have your boot.img as a normal file, run this in adb, then pull the file:
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/data/local/boot.img
I was surprised that there was no such modified kernel till now. Maybe this is because the TARGET_REJECT option is essential but only XT_MATCH_OWNER is largely discussed when dealing with droidwall.
See attachment (mikstev_SGY_Kernel_netfilter_for_droidwall_boot.img.zip) for a boot.img with only these modifications.
Please test and report. I only tested blacklist/whitelist mode with Google Play blocked/allowed on Wifi connection, but it worked.
Edit 1: I've added the necessary (and probably some more) modules so that droidwall's logging works. Use the second attached file instead the first one.
Here are the changes I made, compared to normal .config:
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG=y
I guess the first two aren't necessary but I didn't bother to check every single module if it's the correct one which droidwall needs for logging. However this shouldn't matter anyway. See mikstev_SGY_Kernel_netfilter_for_droidwall_with_log_boot.img.zip
Edit 2: Due to request I've added init.d support to the latest release. Thanks irfanbagus! See mikstev_SGY_Kernel_droidwall_initd_boot.img.zip
Edit 2.5: Seems only the following modules are required but that only as a side note:
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=y
Edit 3: New method for adding init.d support to a (newest) boot.img, with kernel modules for droidwall (+logging) and init.d scripts to load these modules. Please read the readme, if you have questions, post here. Special thanks to irfanbagus See mikstev_add_initd_to_boot.img__kernel_modules_initd_scripts_for_droidwall.zip
Edit 4: Thanks to an idea by irfanbagus and another tutorial to include init.d support by kurotsugi, here's another release. Adding init.d support is now easier with kurotsugi's method plus there's a update.zip (modules_droidwall_signed.zip) which does the other steps for you (copying the modules, init.d scripts and applying the correct permissions for these files). NOTE: this update.zip is yet untested. If you test it please report. See mikstev_add_initd_to_boot.img__kernel_modules_initd_scripts_for_droidwall_v2.zip
Edit 5: The update.zip from edit 4 seems to work. If you're using a kernel with init.d support you only need to install the update.zip and it should work fine.

good job. i know droidwall depend on other kernel features beside CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER. since i don't have plan to use droidwall, i don't bother to find it.

Profit indeed! It works! Good job, mikstev! I was able to block dolphin HD on my phone just to test if it works and it did, much to my delight!
And to irfanbagus as well for that wonderful guide on how to compile a kernel.
Great job, guys!

Now let's hope that all the other kernel developers include this small bit of configuration in their builts

finally! ive been waiting for this for ages. thank you very muchhhh!

Logging doesn't work yet. I'll try the solution from highlandsun: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11110889&postcount=357 tonight and upload new kernel if successful.

No need for so much hassel
Just use "lbe privacy guard" (free in store) it has much more features than droidwall and it doesnt require any special kind of kernel.
Y u no press "thanks"!?

It seems that there're at least some people who see this differently. Here're some of my reasons, why I prefer droidwall over LBE Privacy Guard:
- it's a good and easy to use firewall. Not more, nor less. That's what I want.
- no "hassel" (to use your words) with resticting internet access of "trusted" apps
- I did not find a way in LBE to block LBE from using internet. In the iptables rules created by Droidwall I can clearly see that droidwall is not allowed = blocked

@mikstev: I'm just curious...is it based on sgy's newest kernel?

I think so, the source code is the one mentioned in irfanbagus' post (update2) which I linked above.

nice...I can integrate dualboot and data-2sd mod into this kernel easily. thx

i got other option to make droidwall work.
on init.rc i added this line:
service netfilter /system/bin/iptables
disabled
oneshot
this also work with avast firewall..

Can anyone confirm this? I can't see how this could replace the missing kernel modules.

nope. iptables only a user space application that depend on kernel features. and you can't call iptables without command/params.

the firewall works great, also, I can see the logs but after disconnecting from the internet and a few minutes the log is empty again, is this normal or a bug?
off topic:
and can I make a request? can you make the your boot.img support init.d as well? please...

Yep, I noticed this too. The droidwall source seems ok at first glance and I don't think it's related to the netfilter modules etc. My guess would be that it's dmesg's fault, maybe the log is truncated or something but this is just speculation. I'll investigate in this in a few days. Maybe someone else knows why this happens?

Sorry, I currently don't have the necessary skills, so if you're looking for a quick solution you might better ask someone else for help. (Especially since there're already kernels with this feature and including the modifications for netfilter/droidwall should be trivial). However as I wanted to build up my knowledge regarding android/kernel development anyway, I'll try to add this feature one time, but that surely would take >1 week.

Regarding dmesg: the buffer size is set by CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=19 which means 2^19 Bytes = 512KiB. I'll check later if this relatively huge size is really used up.

@mikstev: make init.d support kernel is easy. we only have to add a few script inside init.rc file. we can do it easily by using dsixda's kitchen or put the script manually. you can see my modified init.rc here http://www.mediafire.com/?cc1kg8s7cx27onb
I believe the script that have to be added is
service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
disabled
oneshot

Just to get sure: the init.rc which needs to be modified is the one in the initial ramdisk and not in the kernel (zImage), right?

[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.

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

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.

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:

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
