Hello,
Does anyone with a Nexus S have experience with running the Supercharger script here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I was hoping to share experiences here and try to find the best settings that work for everyone. I just tried it for the first time today and am currently using the "512hp Unledded" settings, will report back with results after I've had a chance to use the phone for a while.
In the meantime, if anyone is using this script, please do share your experience here.
Thanks!
I've used settings 6 and 9. Tbh I don't noticeuch of a difference with or without it. A solid kernel does alot of what the script does. And I can lock the launcher through cm7. Did however make a substantial difference on my epics available ram.

I've been running ZuluZulu 1.3.1 (it's pretty old but still works great typically) with Trinity's TEUV kernel at 800MHz and I CONSTANTLY get launcher redraws. I'm hoping this script can fix the problem. Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but I feel like my phone is a tiny bit snappier.
I have noticed that free RAM went from typically 70-75MB free at all times before the script to now about 80-85MB free at all times. I've switched to 512hp balanced settings since 1000hp aggressive was killing all my apps too quickly - messaging and exchange email, both of which i use constantly, were always getting killed so I dialed it back to 512hp balanced for now.
Thanks.
My available ram without it currently is usually 120 to 150, I'm on newest cm7 nightly. Perhaps you have alot more going on on your phone then I do, but you may want to try out a different rom perhaps, and see if you benefit. I'm using tuv10, and my redraws are minimal, don't have launcher locked atm.

Been running 512hp unledded (balanced) setting for close to a day now, I'm happy to report that my launcher redraws are 100% gone! Not a single one yet!
EDIT: Btw I'm running GO launcher and i have unchecked the "keep home in memory" options as the script suggested. It's working great so far.

Yeah I have too many apps that are running services all the time, it's kind of annoying.. I may give TUV10 a try too, although i'm digging the battery savings from teuv and ezekeel's deep sleep.
It may be time to go back to CM as well.
Newest tuv betas have deep idle also

I'm interested by this. Currently using juwe11 ram optimization that's with NScollab but I get redraws all the time. Using GOlauncher too. Might turn juwe's stuff off and try that, although I've tried in the past and it didn't change s***...

On the GO launcher home screen, go to Menu - Preferences - Advanced Settings and then uncheck "System Persistent" and "Prevent Force Close".
Then run this script and pick the 512hp balanced setting, save and exit.
Boom, launcher redraws gone

Is that really NO redraw? I'm close to no redraw, but let's say I play a game for a while and exit i'll get a 5ish seconds redraw. Same if I surf the web using Dolphin for a while and I play a flash game in it. :/
Edit: The script changed and I don't have the same options as before. What are the values next to the option you're using? :/

I have been TRYING to get it redraw to see where it breaks, but it just won't do it I open up a few apps and hit home quickly, this usually used to make the launcher redraw, but it won't do it anymore.
On the script - just pick the 512hp balanced - i don't remember the settings exactly, but amongst the ones I've tested, this one is working pretty good for stability and multitasking.

That's the thing, the one I got from the thread, update 8, doesn't have those same options anymore.
I'm using #6 512 HP ledded and #12 hard to kill. Working great so far only redraw I had is when I was moving an app from SD to phone and backed out of the menu quickly while it was in the middle of moving. Very impressed so far.
Now trying #5,#13

#5 and #12 together seem to work best for me.

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!

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.
This is the best I've come across. MMS app, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Market, Maps and more all at once. Brilliant.

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"

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.

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.

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.
Hi guys,
Since the AOSP ICS builds I noticed that when the Phone app is not in memory it opens very slow. The next time you open it is almost instant. I thought that it would be fixed in the OTA, and even if it is a little faster it is still quite frustrating sometimes. Tried many roms/kernels and even if in some configurations it open faster, it is still slow.
Since I dont use the Phone that much, almost every time that I use it it is not in the memory and it is slow. Anyone has an idea to fix it, like a hack to make it persistent in the memory?
Thanks.
Bump. Is there a way to keep it in memory ? Maybe giving it a special permission like the launcher will help. I will take a look...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
This is my only problem with ICS - I've tried a few memory management programs to see if I could keep the dialer, or contacts, persistent in memory, but nothing works. When I launch the dialer, the application 'Contacts' ('com.android.contacts', which seems to be the new ICS 'People' app) is shown as an 'active application' in my 'SystemPanel' app off the Market, and as long as that stays as an active app then the dialer usually re-launches straight away when pressed the next time, sometimes with only a small bit of lag if the screen has been of for a minute or two. When the 'contacts' app is shut down by the system, I guess when you open other apps up that need memory, the dialer lags again.
All the time, the process 'Phone' ('com.android.phone') seem to be sitting there as an 'Internal System Process' and seems to be persistent, but that alone doesn't make the dialer launch quickly, the 'contacts' app needs to be active as well.
My observations, but I am not a techie.
actually i recently read a thread here on XDA that addressed this issue. it involved a command on the terminal that allowed you to prioritize certain apps. too bad i can't seem to find that thread anymore!
found it! it involves using the Renice command. you can run it as an init.d script
or demo it out using the prioritzer apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224125) kind thanks to this developer for creating the app. it works great!
all i did, was set the phone and contact app to -20 priority. it loads MUCH faster... try it and report back.
here are more links related to renice

Great, thanks for coming back on this, this sounds interesting - I'm not rooted at the moment, I will look into doing this as I think it would be worth it just to sort out this problem, as well as the other benefits. I will report back with my results!
I decided not to root in order to fix this, I've gone a different way with the dialer - exDialer has a polished looking ICS theme and I installed that to see how it would work, and it works great. It opens up consistently quicker, maybe due to the 'Keep in Memory' option that it has. I haven't had one laggy episode with it yet. Most other third party dialers don't look so good but this has a great ICS look, has smart dial, and a great call history function, and it's free (or you can donate as I did). Worth a look for anyone having similar problems.
I would still go back to the stock dialer if it worked properly, maybe a future update will solve this without having to root.

an old thread, but i would like to now if there is something new about the "bug" that the Phone app opens slow if it is not in memory.
I'm new to the nexus s and running the newest skank Version.
On my Desire S the phone app opens much faster .
Cheers

One thing to keep in mind is that the Desire S has more RAM.
Mine opens up instantly however. Have you rebooted after installing the rom?
I remember on GB it was instant! On ICS it is indeed very slow. Hopefully JB fixes it...

That's funny because mine doesn't even take a second. :silly:
Same here if not in memory, i can easily notice certain lag on ics roms on my phone, when opening certain apps.
Yeah i did.
Hm Sounds like i have to live with it, or does someone have an alternative way to Set the priority for apps. The one mentioned earlier does Not work for me.

Thanks for the suggestion to try exDialer. The phone lag was really irritating me and this did the trick. With ics dark theme, it's a perfect complement to bugles beast. Hopefully this will be fixed in 4.1, but till then ...

I have a problem on GoLauncher...
When uninstalling an app with the launcher and then open another app (normal usage), I get a toast message stating "Unable to access the application, please restart Go Launcher". So far, nothing major, but I get some FC's and after a little while, the phone reboots.
What's happening here?
HTC Sensation, running ARHD 4.1.9 (Gingerbread) and Faux 0.2.8
My friend noticed it eating memory as well. I don't use it because it's sluggish to begin with.

I think it's fluent and customizable.

I don't have any problems.It works fine.Definitely go launcher eats ram,but it is not a big deal for me.Try latest version of go launcher.

I'm on the latest version...
Could it be the kernel..?
I also noticed some battery issues, don't know why but it decreased. Anyone else ?
Please use the thread that is already open about go launcher instead of opening a new one.
