This is a known linux tweak and I have tested it on the epic and there seems to be mixed results. BTW, YMMV so don't go blaming me for messing up your phone... The zip is made for my rom but will most likely work on all others (even AOSP).
Open up /system/etc/sysctl.conf (make it if it isn't there)
Add the following...
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1

Sweet!
Can anyone make a flashable zip of this pretty please for us lazy people?
anyone confirm this working?
I can confirm I pushed it into system\etc and there was a file already there by that name. I didn't compare them.
As far as speeds go I can definately see an improvement. Lately it has been in the 300k on average. Tonight I clocked in at 848kbps down, 676 up, and it has stayed there repeatedly.
---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------
Funny thing is I didn't add the above like he said. I just replaced the file with that. I'm probably lucky it is still working.
This would impact your TCP stack - 3G, Wifi, and 4G.
http://www.santa-li.com/linuxonbb.html (among many others that talk about Linux TCP/IP tuning)
EDIT: I see the title was edited from the original "3G Fix" and OP now says "known Linux tweak". I just wanted to clarify why I said the above. Always check the impact on Wifi as well.
Okay, I added back what was in the file before and everything seems good. Speeds are better than they have been, but who knows.
Just wanted to add that my last three speedtests have avergage over 1200kbps down 500kbps up. I never get those kinds of speeds at work, so I think this is definately an improvement. But with anything time will tell.
Zip coming when I get home.

It could still be be coincidence though.

I am not the developer of this app. I am not a developer either, I am just an experienced user and just found an application that maight be usefull for our X10's.
Sysctl Config, It can be downloaded from the market.
With the appropiate settings, this app can improve performance and battery life. What it does is that it modifies certain kernel parameters related to virtual memory management.
This appication is only intended for advanced users and there is very little documentation on which are the best settings. I personally noticed a performance boost and now the phone is a lot more responsive, the scrolling is smother and it boots up a lot faster.
You should also notice a boost in 3d performance, specially runing high end games, such as asphalt 5 and avatar.
Probably the settings I used improved performance at battery life cost, but I will need to wait until tomorrow to tell since my battery is almost drained right now anyway and I just plugged it in. I also noticed an increase of my quadrant benchmark from around 1300 to over 1500.
After testing for about 3 months, these are the settings I found work best for me:
min free kbytes: 32568
dirty ratio: 5
dirty background ratio: 3
vfs cache pressure: 0
Oom allocating task: Enabled
For some, setting vfs cache pressure to 0 is risky. I can confirm that this setting was causing ramdom reboots on heavy usage, however, I enabled compache using spare parts app posted in this link and the issue went away:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12310102
BTW I am using CM 6.1.1 ROM.
Well, I think such detailed settings is kind of overkill for devices like phones. I'm not sure you could gain much performance, but it worst a try
BTW http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_hierarchy.html here you could have more explained features that this app provides.

Oh, thank you, i'm so stupid. Let's see what we have there...
This seems really promising. I used the settings posted by the OP and definitely noticed a performance improvement. I too have very little knowledge about the best settings to use for our X10s and would appreciate some insight by someone does I'm tentative to really modify any of the settings out of fear of doing irreversible damage...if that's even possible.
Hopefully as more of us become aware of this application we'll collectively be able to find the optimal settings! Btw, anyone know the default X10 settings for this app??
hm the settings from the op drops the linpack score from 34 to 30mflops.
maybe we should play with these settings.

The X10 probably has a BFS kernel which means *some* sysctl commands would NOT execute on our phones.

Try linpack twice in a row. Make sure it loaded the ads before trying. Also try quadrant, make sure u run twice when benchmarking since this will allow the OS to kill some background tasks so the second time should be a little higher.

Assuming you're rooted, you can use Ghost Commander from the market and use it's inbuilt editor to edit files + save them from within the GUI. Personally, i'd refrain from dabbling with more critical values without full knowledge of what I'm doing.

Personally my battery life has decreased, by how much is hard to say exactly because I've been a little heavier on my phone today than usual. At this point in the day my battery life is expected to be about 10 more hours and right now it's only reading 4--using the juice plotter app.
The phone does seem to be more responsive though and if I can still get through a whole day of moderately heavy use I'm happy.
Again, hopefully other more knowledgeable people here can post optimal settings for our X10s
*UPDATE* Yeah the settings in the OP definitely kill my battery a lot faster. The phone is more responsive for sure, but at the expense of battery performance. I'm running 2.1 Eternity ROM, dual touch, etc etc if that concerns anybody. I think I'll switch back to the default settings and uninstall this app because my battery life is honestly close to half of what it normally would be, I'm surprised no one else has noticed an impact?? :S

You know there are duplicate fields in the stock build.prop. One entry is "2", the other one says "3". The way I understand it the one that says 2 overrides the one that says 3 due to placement in the file....it's a goofy quirk of the stock build.prop. I don't think anyone knows why there are these duplicate fields with different values.

2 and 3 work the same. The stock ROM is set to 2, even though there is a duplicate entry further down the build.prop set to 3. As meiguoguizi said, when there are duplicate values, the top value wins. I have confirmed this by playing around with the duplicate hsxpa entries and checking the "P" or "U" in the radio version.

If you are going to include a default overclock I would make it ~kinda conservative. I would think 1100Mhz would be a good one to include as default. However, personally, I am not really interested in overclocking until we can retain the clock speed ramping down when it's idle (as I understand it, when you overclock with the current method it locks the speed at the overclocked speed)

Ok, cool, that's awesome. Base 1100Mhz in the ROM with the tools to go faster if you want. That's what I'd do.
1100 would be a good default that should likely run on pretty much all the phones out there.
edit: I see 1122 in V4, that should probably be okay as well.
Ok i have used this tweak in buil.prop file and it has helped so much when playing any heavy game, like most of the gameloft games,
1. Get an app that can edit your build.prop file
2. Open the app or the editor
3. Look at this line
dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m yours might have a different number like 256 or something
Then Find this line:
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=190m it will also say a different number like 64 or less
4. Then the first line that says heapsize will give you a number then change the heapgrowthlimit line number to HALF of the heapsize number
EX: my heapsize is 384m the max heapgrowthlimit number would be upto 192m to provide a lag reduction in games
so if your heapsize is say 256m the max heapgrowthlimit you could have would be 128m (just to be safe)
Warning: Im saying only half becuae any number above half would probably be unstable and cause issues and if you have a very low heapsize number to start out with maybe half is unstable so go lower than half of your heapsize (like if your heapsize is 64m go to like 25m instead of 32m)
Thanks: to t_007_v2 for testing this out and actually finding it

Ok i have used this tweak in buil.prop file and it has helped so much when playing any heavy game, like most of the gameloft games,
1. Get an app that can edit your build.prop file
2. Open the app or the editor
3. Look at this line
dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m yours might have a different number like 256 or something
Then Find this line:
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=190m it will also say a different number like 64 or less
4. Then the first line that says heapsize will give you a number then change the heapgrowthlimit line number to HALF of the heapsize number
EX: my heapsize is 384m the max heapgrowthlimit number would be upto 192m to provide a lag reduction in games
so if your heapsize is say 256m the max heapgrowthlimit you could have would be 128m (just to be safe)
Warning: Im saying only half becuae any number above half would probably be unstable and cause issues and if you have a very low heapsize number to start out with maybe half is unstable so go lower than half of your heapsize (like if your heapsize is 64m go to like 25m instead of 32m)
Thanks: to t_007_v2 for testing this out and actually finding it

it should work on any phone thats rooted, just keep the numbers relative to your own device numbers
Hey
Hi,
i'm considering doing what you have suggested here on my HTC One X+. I'm not sure whether it would give me any problems but i'm tempted enough to give it a go. BTW could you provide an explanation here for people to read? Changing the value is okay but what are the functions of the different parameters? And what is technical working of it? It would be very kind of you to put light on what i have suggested.
Thanks!

Change your heapgrowthlimit value to 64m. That is what you should do according to the person who posted this. Do this at your own risk.

Kernel is no longer in public development
Clarification as to the why Im stopping
Echoa said:
I am not committed enough to this to do so. Havent even touched it since the last update and dont feel the need to, I really would much rather leave it as I do not wish to get very involved in kernel stuff, etc.
I feel like posting source means I have intent to support, maintain, etc. this stuff and I dont. Its not just a matter of the posting source, its that I only posted the kernel because it was Fauxs and Codecrafts sources I used (only using the GPU OC from Codecraft) and since they shared their work so graciously I felt I should share my modified version of it. I dont want credit for work I didnt do because someone used my sources (which arent even really mine). Ive used github before and know how, its easy, but like I said I feel that would send a message I dont intend.
If there is someone who wants to actually maintain it i will gladly give you the source if you PM me.
TL;DR Im not leaving the kernel scene just because of source posting, its because this was just a fun little thing I did and dont plan on doing that long.

Echoa said:
just wanted to add clarification so it didnt seem like I was just like
"oh, dont feel like posting source so bye"
Ill cya guys around, just not posting a kernel lol
Ive been weeding out things that take too much of my time away from my intended career of comics/animation, this is one of them, and considering I didnt have much intent for it in this first place i may as well leave it now.
Sorry for the lack of info on my part guys as to exactly "why" Ive decided this. Hopefully these past posts give more clarity. Im glad the kernel was well recieved and works well for you guys, but I didnt intended to do this that long in the first place. Ill zip the source and add it to the OP for someone to grab and play with.

Sources
DO NOT CREDIT ME FOR THESE SOURCES
This is the work of Faux123 and Team Codecraft, I merely slapped the GPU OC from CC into faux. Everything you need to get started is here, and please thank the Devs who actually worked hard to put their sources and kernels together.
Also, if you have an issue with the source you may PM me, I dont intend to continue this kernel but I will help someone who does get started.

Is there a reason some Kernel's use 2.5GHz for OC instead of 2.8GHz? Or is it just personal preference?
Great job on this kernel :thumbup:

Preference
You hit a thermal wall real fast at 2.8 and end up throttled anyway
From what I can tell this is a performance based kernel, yes?

What app are you using to configure all those "recommended settings" on your phone? Rom toolbox?

Yes and No, I wanted to power savings of Faux but the GPU performance of Codemaster.

FauxClock, trickster should work too
Switched to Linaro Toolchain and Replaced all the modules with the linaro compiled ones
Also added some Flags recommened for tuning Cortex a15 type CPUs and for optimizing Float Math
now up for Download
Just verifying this is a sense kernel correct?

Can anyone give feedback on this with ViperRom? I know their ROMS don't work well with all custom kernels
Nice gonna give this a shot

My Wi-Fi won't hardly work on this just like on faux. I don't know of its the Wi-Fi drivers or what, but only stock based kernels work well on my phone. What can I do to help figure this out.
Hey, has anyone tried restoring a kernel backed up via Flashify? Wanna give this a shot, but I'd like to have a backup of what I've got now first...
?✌??? ?

what update/rom are you on? Just saying wifi drivers dont work right wont really help (and figures it wouldnt since it essentially is faux lol) more info would be nice but tbh I really couldnt tell you. I havent had any wifi issues on any kernel Ive tried.
New Update Includes
More Compiler Optimizations
Update now includes latest userspace Adreno drivers from Qualcomm
will be last update till something nifty comes along so enjoy

I figured out the set up for recommended settings with FauxClock except these. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks :cyclops:

go to CPU Governor and click show/update and thats where they are. The letters are abbreviations for the settings once you see them youll get it. Click the settings one at a time and type the values in and hit save for them to show up (they dont appear till you click save).
