Speed Tweaks, Battery Tweaks, and Quadrant Hekkks - Epic 4G Android Development

This is just a collection of random tweaks that I put together for all of you that want to see fast speed and good battery at the cost of stability. Credits go to TeamACID, ACS, Juwe, zepplinrocks, and a few others... The zip is attatched.

First, and with many thanks!

Just flashed... Let's see what happens! Thanks Marcusant!

Whoops screwed that post up.. @marcusant, are these tweaks included in you're latest ROM already?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Thankyou! Flashed and my **** wifi seems faster.

Improvement of battery life brings upon instability? Well that just plain sucks. I could really care less about overclocking. But..thats just me.
Is there a version of this tweak that might just carry the battery life end of the tweaks? Everything else can just work as it normaly would.
This is just a request...in no way is it a demand. Thank you

Are you saying stability is iffy?

One note, this changed my "Build Number" to "MarcusantROM Revival v1".
Not necessarily a terrible, horrible thing.
Other than that, this is amazing.
Thank you a million.

can you post an explanation as to what exactly this does to achieve those things?

There are a ton of files and tweaks actually included in this. Its mostly code changing/adding. For specifics, if you know the linux OS, you can peruse the files that are included in it.

I don't know which tweak it was, but one of them absolutely gave me way better wifi reception. Getting strong, uninterrupted connections in parts of my house where id normally fade in and out constantly

It works! running Revival v1 with Samurai 2.08 and it definitely smoothed out some rough edges- very zippy now. Sweeeeet! Thanks Marcus, love your work.

Installed this.... Noticed some speed improvements... But I'll have to see how it plays out... Wifi has stayed the same strength.

Not sure if it is the new Samarui OC kernel, or these tweaks, I installed both at the same time, but i am definately noticing a diference. Flick golf runs awesome!

is this to work with aosp and sense roms?
It seems to work with Static Nonsense...I can tell a difference but I wouldn't say its dramatic.
I lost root with this, then fixed it, but didn't notice any real improvement after that. Scores stayed the same.

Couldn't hurt. I have to admit my web pages are loading faster, transitions are smoother...apps seem to be loading quicker and overall I can tell a difference...but again I have to say its not a "I'm just blown away by this" difference.
Just wanted to add that after flashing this, the first boot took forever...so long in fact I thought I was gonna have to pull the battery and recover a recent backup.
It did improve overall. even lower bat. drain. Thank you dsexton702 for the share.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
First boot took a little while for me as well using CM7 nightly, but I do definitely like the increase in how smooth everything feels.
Anyone using this with a Sense ROM?
I'm using with VU 2.35 sense 3.0 and it does wonders my score before at 1 ghz. Was 1800
Right after installing u.s.a.s still at 1 ghz jumped up to 2200 quadrent score.
After oc to 1.3 ghz my quadrent score was 2600
Runs very nice hard to tell difference as VU 2.35 runs so smooth but its an improvement
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Went from 1991 to 2056. VU 2.35 runs very nice, but was having a small hesitation when turning on screen and this seems to have fixed that issue. Very nice work
So if I cook this in, my autofill does NOT work in messaging, but if I flash it after a rom install its fine
This is an awesome tweak my processor has never been stable over 1.3 now Im running 1.7 ghz and its crazy fast got my quadrent score up to 3000 running this fast
Never had such a smooth experience doesn't matter how many apps are open.

Why does auto fill not work when trying to type a persons name to send text ?
Works before I install this.
Not a big deal but does suck having to go into phonebook and scroll threw alp my contacts to send a message

Regardless of your partiality, you are still correct. To back up this statement, I point to the current battery life on my infuse. I am sitting at 11% after 3 days, 50 minutes with a screen on time of 2 hours over those 3 days. One hour of voice calls and HEAVY text usage.
ZEUS, quite simply put, ROCKS.

!!!Zeus!!!​​
Is ZEUS the most stable as well?
Stability is the #1 factor for me. That and lack of amateur theming. Can't stand it when authors choose to put in weird looking fonts and other stuff. I watched the video that showed off zeus rom though and that is definitely not the case. EXTREMELY pretty.

[Q] Best options for performance?

What are the best roms, kernels, tweaks, mods and pretty much everything else? Because right now I have the Valhalla Black Final rom, sms kj6 i think for the rom, and the universal adernaline shot. Is there anything that can make my phone faster, because the games still lag a little sometimes.
I would use only the tweaks in VB, same kernel as you are now

For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.
However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.

Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.
Just flash Val black and call it a day.

[TWEAK] Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1

Hello all!
As promised, here is the first release of Lightning Zap tweaks for the Blaze 4G from Team Fah-Q (formerly known as Team Kick Ass)!
DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT responsible for anything YOU do that causes damage to your device. Follow the instructions to TEE and there won't be any problems.
This version is ONLY for Gingerbread ROMs and a GB kernel that supports init.d scripts. How do you know if your kernel supports init.d scripts? There are a number of ways to check, but the best way is to ask the developer of that kernel. You can also check in the ROMofCHOICE.zip by navigating to /system/etc/init.d. If the original .zip of your ROM has an init.d folder with scripts in it, then you are good to go.
What is Lightning Zap?
Lightning Zap is a set of tweaks that I have written and compiled to make the Blaze 4G Lightning fast, super smooth, and contain excellent battery life!
What's included in Lightning Zap Blaze Basic:
Battery tweaks for awesome battery life
Governor tweaks for amazing speed and performance without sacrificing battery life
Kernel tweaks
Memory and Ram tweaks
Cleaner tweaks
Build.prop tweaks
Internet speed tweaks
and MORE!
Install instructions:
Make a full nandroid backup and then backup your data with titanium or something alike
***Download link is at the bottom of this post***
Download Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip to pc (Can be downloaded to sdcard also)
Place Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip on sdcard
Flash
Allow phone to set for 10 minutes after reboot
Enjoy

well, take it for what you will, but I am on dknight7 at 9 hours uptime with minimal usage and the battery is at 98%. Keep in mind this is minimal usage which means no calls/text but wifi data sync is on, installed a few essential apps like root explorer angry birds and tt backup and a little bit of youtubing and web browsing.
So with that said, flash at your own risk, but I am pretty sure my tweaks are unmatched...lol (no offense Eril... you are still my superstar...lol)

Do not think this works on STOCK - rooted/w cwm (looking at you update script and the actual files in the zip).
There isnt suporrt for init.d style startup scripts in stock-rooted anywhere that I could find, So your sysctl.conf will work but all of the init.d scripts will be ignored.
I'm assuming dknight7 has this support? If it doesnt then its not doing anything but the sysctl.conf tweaks on that either.
Also some of your sysctl settings have been shown to slow the phone down over several days and increase the number of reboots needed.
One specifically I saw in 03systweak:
echo 50 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
This does speed up things a great deal on the short term. However it gives you a max of 2-3 days before you have to reboot your phone as it slowly begins to lag it down. A setting of 1 is less than a day, a setting of 100(default) gives you weeks without need of reboot. So people need to be notified that these tweaks are not stable, and in order to keep the improvements these tweaks provide, and you will find yourself rebooting more often.
It has also been shown that most of these tweaks do in fact use more battery. There is no magic performance improment without the use of more power on android in many cases. There are some phones where the initial config is not optimal and these tweaks would show a great improvment. The blaze 4g phones on the other hand, are so fast even at stock, and get such great battery life, I dont see why such a thing would even be applicable for them.

Stock Rom - Rooted Kernel
Thomas, I'm on the stock rom (latest update) with the rooted Kernel. Will that combo work or should I look for a different kernel to install? I don't want to switch roms when I expect that ICS should be coming out within a month or two and the phone is generally running reasonably well as is. Thanks in advance.
This is the kernel that I'm using btw... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591598

I use Tweaked 3.1 as my rom and it has always been best using ondemand for the governor... some people have used smartass when over clocking (tegrak is the only one so far reported to actually work to over clock our stock kernel) but this governor setting is not as good for battery consumption...so far I have only tested on demand(which I think is in dslices build of tweaked) some of these settings are new that I have not even heard of till this pimp my rom came out... One that comes to mind is the brazillion... the hardware excelleration I turned on but I left the force gpu settings off(I never tried it) because in the description it said it increased ram usage and the driod charge as one of its main complaints is lack of ram... these tweaks are so easy you can play and remove them as needed... that's what makes them great... it's you phone and you can make it like you like it...and if something really makes you happy... share it... please!... lol
