When developers first started skinning the G1 themes I remember there was something about compressing the images with photoshop, has anyone tried this yet and does anyone think it might have an effect?

# rm -r /system/sd/app_s/Rosie.apk

Then manually reboot system
but the hero rom runs off the rosi.apk
if the apk is the problem i dont think theres anyways of fixing it
and the rosi apk is still in alpha release
its not a legitimate rom yet
wait till htc works on it a little more and i bet itll be blazing fast
Then wouldn't compressing the images in the Rosie APK effect the amount of memory it takes to use the UI?

the images are really not the huge Space hog it is the little file like the keyboard app uses.. seriously 5 MB for a keyboard? the images alone are only 500k total the rest are DB type files which are 4 megs
I did this, compressed pngs in every drawable folder and only saved around 200kb, didn't really speed up performance, so I didn't worry about it. PNG files were compressed on themes to save some space in /system back when there wasn't a lot of available space.
Thanks for answering my questions =)
That was all I wondered

How about using pngcrush? It's a great tool and compresses PNGs much better than Photoshop can.
G1 just wasn't built for something like this imo. I can imagine the HTC Hero (device) having much more ram to work with and perhaps a better CPU in order to work this thing better. I mean, all things considered, the G1 can get sluggish just running Cupcake.

I doubt it. All their upcoming devices use the same or a similar CPU as the G1. It may have more RAM, though. I think the issue comes from the fact that it's an early preproduction ROM that was leaked and it's not perfect, even on the Hero. Or maybe the Hero has hardware acceleration turned on? Does the G1 have hardware acceleration turned on? (I know it has the ability, but I wonder if it's like Kaiser where HTC never bothered using a driver that had the ability to use its hardware acceleration...) Again, this is pure speculation.

This will not work for anyone who had /data/app to sd. this does work very well if you just have the normal install tho!

Im not sure where i read it but i think the Hero had an 800 mhz processor (clocked down i suppose) but more ram does help a lot! if you adb logcat the g1 with hero and rosie on it 90% of the time its looking for more ram and running out of ram (thats why the home screen takes so long to load, and widgets too)

hmm... the memory, I can see. A lot of the other HTC phones have 288mb of RAM. This COULD be part of the problem. Maybe this would benefit from a swap file.

theses are the instructions for pushing rosie to the internal memory. it does work and make rosie faster.
Works...

i read about doing that somewhere
and i dont know if it really did help increase speed
it is working off internal memory but EVERYTHING else in app_s is still running from your sd card
but i think it would help a little
im too lazy to install hero and set everythign else up again

how much faster did it become?
do u use an overclocking app also?
any scenarios you could let us know?
actually....
Actually, I think I may have been a bit hasty.
I loaded the browser, switched back to home, market back to home, i tried to have a couple of things running and then see how responsive it was. At first it was damn fast, no lag, straight to the home screen. but... I have the retro clock, tcal and a weather widget on my home screen and I started to notice some hanging and gradual slow down. I have the open overclocker from the market installed I wanna see if it helps speed up noticeably if I put it to 527ish... I'll try and report back.
edit:
Oh, I may also not be the best test case for this, because I'm not sure what class my 2gig micro sd card is...

When I installed the original unoptimized haykuro it was slow as hell (Everything on app_s)after transfering rosie to internal it ran blazing fast. but I have the stock 1gb sd card. I never used appz2sd before so I didnt care about a card. (4gb Class 6 ordered) lol
I use no widgets.
I dont mind rosie crashing every 5 secs, I hate it when the messaging app crashes!!!
I really see no difference if I overclock or not, so I dont even bother.
I decided to start a new thread for sanity purposes, the last one is already getting too big to scroll through. Here is the first release of my GUI + updated script that easily configs rom options. I tried to write this as generic as possible so we have the most room for upgrade in the future. Right now its pretty ugly but alot works. I need testers to play around with this, theres no way i can test every possible rom and every possible switch.
This should work with any kernel that runs app2sd, just needs a slight tweak to the init.rc to make sure apps2sd directorys are setup before launching the rom. This takes alittle bit more time to do it properly. Ill be posting a few different flavors for various roms out there. If you have a bug, please adb logcat _really_ helps. Also rom version you are on, and a copy of your /data/data/com.treve.dconfig/dc.conf & dcbannedapp.conf, i also have started to implement logging, /data/dcboot.log will help. sorry for files all around next version will fix alot. This requires toolbox (needs getprop/setprop) everything else should be included.
pretty much flash the right version over your rom, set your options, save, reboot & enjoy. shouldnt be much more to it. if you get forcecloses upgrading or after restoring apps wipe your /data/app-private/* some apps dont play nice. first boot will take _forevor_
Defaults are apps2sd with apps & app-private moved, dalvik on phone, swap to SD, JIT off. **it does not read back options saved so use other methods to tell if its working till next build **
Contact me if you want to put this in your rom or help me out!

Damage/Fresh2.0d/Sushi/Aloysis kernel - http://www.4shared.com/file/d2UVEYLJ/treveDConfigDCKERNELv12.html
v1.1 -
Adds in restoring of configs capability. Need to manually hit the button to restore for now.
sets by default to "safe" settings. Should increase compatibility. Users of previous versions once you save your settings once they should stick on upgrades until you wipe the device
V1.1 Download (tested flashing ontop of damagecontrol & pancake 0.1)
Damage/Fresh2.0d/Aloysis (2.6.29-d30020a8) - http://www.4shared.com/file/vFIOghLT/treveDConfigDCKERNELv11.html
v1.5 gumbo (2.6.27GK-0.32) - http://www.4shared.com/file/4KolEQTJ/treveDConfiggumbo15ckernelv11.html
v1- first release
-newer a2sd then previous release
-set config options in gui
-initial configs write to /system/etc/ for now my GUI writes to /data/data/com.treve.dconfig/ a2sd will prefer the ones in data/data/ if they exist. this should allow for rom cookers to put in there recommended settings, but if your flashing over a existing rom without a wipe it will keep all your preferences. This is nice because we get stuff like auto remove of apps we dont use without romcookers putting out over 9000 roms.
-GUI DOES NOT READ BACK CONFIGS YET. This will come next version. For now once you exit form it will revert to defaults so you will not beable to see what you have set once you exit. (main settings & banned apps are on 2 different configs, you do not need to save both pages when making changes.)
-No icon or package name. Deal with it - you get functional or pretty. Ill clean stuff up later.

Code:
#DC Config file
#Hacked up by TrevE @ xda for damagedrom
#
#dc.a2sd.active - disables all a2sd
#dc.a2sd.apps.active - 0 moves all files to /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/data/ can be controlled seperate from a2sd.active
#dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active - 0 keeps files on /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/dalvik-cache/
#
#dc.swap.active - 1 auto mounts sd card partition mmcblk0p3 for swapping. 0 keeeps it at mtdblock4
#dc.swap.swappiness - Range: 0 - 100, larger number = more likely to swap
#dc.jit.active - 1 to enable JIT next boot (make sure to switch to lancher as a defalt home first) 0 to disable.
#dc.bannedapp.active - 1 enables ban list (renames .apks to .dcbanned) defaults are set to programs that interfere with JIT
#dc.firstboot.active - check for firsboot script in /data/ on boot

==================="Basic" Options===================
Apps2SD
-Default is dalvik & apps are moved to sd. (Does not hurt to leave enabled if you are not using it.)
-if you have a slower SD card it might be better moving dalvik back to internal memory.
You can enable/disable dalvik & app move separately. To move dalvik back to SD:
Changing any options are easy. For example - To turn just dalvik sd cache off:
start -> run -> cmd
defaults are in:
adb pull /system/etc/dc.conf .
if you used dc tool use the one in data data:
adb pull /data/data/com.treve.dconfig/dc.conf .
open up dc.conf in notepad. Change the one line
setprop dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active false;
to
setprop dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active true;
push it back to phone
adb remount
adb push dc.conf /system/etc/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-New users any time just format ext(2 or 3) in recovery to enable. Next boot it will automatically move your apps. If you get any FC after a new enable of a2sd try Fix apk UUID option in recovery
AutoZipalign
-On by default.
anything written with newer dev kits should do this automatically, but there are still a buncha market apps that arent. This just goes through /data/app/ on boot and checks that everythings aligned and fixes what it needs to. Fixes some of the rosie lag loading the icons.
more here http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/zipalign.html
scaling_governor
-Set to ondemand by default
Just change word in quotes. With HTCs 2.6.29 kernel we have two options (until someone gets us source)
-performance
-ondemand
lowmemkiller
-Set to more aggressive by default.
To change just edit numbers in double quotes on the lowmemkiller line in dc.conf.
Common values: (included at top of conf but here again for reference)
Code:
# lowmemkiller default rom settings - 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144
# lowmemkiller less agressive settings - 1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040
# lowmemkiller more agressive setting - 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000
DCBannedapp.conf
-default is off
*If this "banned app" flag is set it will rename any file in /system/etc/dcbannedapp.conf to .banned. When its set back to 0 it will "re-enable" them. Right now dcbannedapp.conf cannot have anything but a full filename (/system/app/Rosie.apk), one per line.
*if the delete banned app flag is on anything in this list will be deleted instead of renamed. No going back.
This is useful in a few ways-
-if you enable JIT we can put a list of banned apps (htc stuff) to increase stability. If you want to disable JIT just flip to flags and you have sense again.
-rom cookers can just post config files to have several different versions of a rom from one download (for ex: sense/no sense version)
Here is an example of dcbannedapp.conf I have been playing with. This strips sense out & gets you down pretty bare bones. (Yes there is more we can remove, i trimmed this list up a bit when we were having issues. now that things seem stable its time to cut out more )
Code:
/system/app/com.htc.MusicWidget.apk
/system/app/com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
/system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk
/system/app/com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

firstboot
-default is on
script in /data/firstboot.sh will run automatically on nextboot if it exists. Auto deletes when done right now (new flag soon)
===================Advanced Options===================
Handle with care
Swapping
-Swap is disabled by default.
-If you have a fast card you can turn it on by pulling /system/etc/dc.conf and changing
setprop dc.swap.active false;
to
setprop dc.swap.active true;
More about swapping here (in same article as compcahe, not the same) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compcache
If you look at benchmarks below my guess is the lower swap is better with quick burst reads but when you swap moree and more out the card (or the bus) hits a limit a starts to choke. Went back down to 30 an result were right around 4.6 for copy mb again.
JIT
**JIT does not play nice with rosie or HTC lockscreen**
Enable bannedapp flag & put any conflicting files in /system/etc/dcbannedapp.conf This will let you switch between JIT compatible stuff/ non JIT on the fly.
To enable JIT:
-first use homeswitcher to switch to anything becides rosie and make it default (included lancher.apk in update).
-Now you must adb shell rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
-Now pull /etc/dc.conf and change
setprop dc.jit.active false;
to
setprop dc.jit.active true;
reboot & enjoy
===================Fixes===================
-Avaulaunches modded AudioRC fix to work with this. Flash the latest mod above then this ontop of it right after.
http://www.4shared.com/file/9mEpJR-0/AvalaunchRCFix_ForTrevEMod.html
-If you get bootloops upgrading try whacking private apps
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/app-private/*
adb shell reboot
-If you want to stick with JIT & have no use to ever enable the banned apps again you can delete em
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*.dcbanned
===================Benchmarks===================
linkpack/membench seem relevant here, neocore doesnt really fluxuate in fps doesnt seem worth it.
(post yours & any tweaks you make!)
Here is with a2sd app & dalvik moved
Swap off, Swap @30, Swap @ 60(in order left-> right, yes 60 is worst.)
A2sd app/Dalvik/[email protected]/JIT on
JIT off /on:
finally a aps2sd I understand! This us amazing. Testing....
apps2sd working great on aloysis! You rock

the damage control should flash over regaw fine. once you flash go into the app & tweak things how you want, then save & reboot for it to take effect. If you have a fast SD card the most common mods are moving dalvik to SD and swapping. JIT adds a nice speed boost as you can see by the benchmarks but isn't quite working in sense yet so make sure to disable sense in banned apps.
Going without sense is a bit weird at first but theres a buncha nice apps out there. check out helix launcher, beautiful widgets and bookmarks2. That with the android power widget & genie weather widget im pretty happy.

THANKS TrevE!!!
This is amazing. It's been awesome watching this come together, I can't believe you built this into an app. You sir are officially THE MAN
been playing around tweaking my settings. cant wait for it to save settings its wierd without it.
I appreaciate the work and all but it really needs an icon lawlz
thanx
sorry for the app being a bit crude still i wanted features to work rather than look good. Itll get better in time remember this is only a few days work i got alot more planned
Hopefully later on well have some kinda icon. Im close to being done with restoring states from a config now, probably wont see something till later tongiht though. Unless anyone finds bugs with the actual script itself it will ust be a new APK to push. Keep the reports coming in of successes or any issues!

Do you know of any mobile data toggle widgets that actually work as a toggle and don't just take you to the mobile data settings when launched? I spent a few hours last night trying to find one.
Have you tried the htc settings widgets?

that's the widget i'd like to have emulated in helix
so how is this working out for people? Is everything working ok or are we crashing and burning? i got a new version that should keep your settings displayed even if you close out of the program. its looking like it will just be an APK because i havent had any bug reports (yet) dunno i thats a good thing or not...

the rosie lag i was talking about is if you pull up an app tray and quickly scroll down. I can usually tell you the non zipaligned apps because it pauses for a second loading their icons usually. everything feels generally faster though JIT makes a nice difference. Try it and see

those are a pretty damn close match to HTCs good find im sure some people will like that. JIT is def worth ditching sense, the phone feels so much faster senseless anyway and the added megaflop JIT gives is always nice. I went with the android power widget, kinda like having it all one one strip saves some space.
thanks for the link!!
i like the 1x5 power widget but it's not got every toggle i want.
why am I getting reboots?
Everything appears to be working, then I plug my phone into the PC vis usb and that screen freezes on me then reboots. Or I'm checking space on the phone and my sdcard, and that screen freezes and reboots on me.
I partioned my card to ext2 -- ext3... with 32swap and 512...
Help, not really sure what is going on, just keeps rebooting on me over and over again now.
Ok, this sucks! I did a nandroid back to before I had my sd card partioned, and now I get constant reboots (phone goes asleep, then will not awake right away, but instead awakes in a reboot).
How do I unpartition my card?
Which one of these would I use on Aloysius 2.0.5b?

Spare parts ----> access to additional settings UI and to speed up the animations (and accurate indications of battery consumption)
DroidShuffle.apk ----> control of the player directly from the headset button! 1 click play / pause 2 next 3 previous and long click for the shuffle, the application must sect has a simple UI
MIlestoneOverclock.apk overclocking could not miss ^ _ ^
QuickSettings-> a very handful utility! Nothing more to say
The ROM is complete ZIPALIGNED
Other tewak! :
JIT UPDATED TO v7 (got one is v2 or like that) MORE STABLE AND RELIABLE --> thx samdroid for the porting and zewelor1 for the segnalation
ADBD at Boot-> the ABD shell is loaded directly in Root mode since the boot!
SAMBA enabled! (thx zewelor1 e nadlabak)
NFS enabled! (thx nadlabak)
FLAC enabled!
Memhack enabled!
In build.prop set the time to scan the wifi in 90 seconds ... save a lot of battery (especially when you forget it enabled!)
Build.prop changed, so I added 2 lines on the use of JIT (included)
TWEAK in build.prop VIDEO HQ 6mbit 720x480 30fps max (stops at 24 \ 25 normally anyway: '()
changed dalvik.vm.heapsize increased by 50% from 24 to 36mega! (The DalvikVM will use more RAM but it also has more megs available and with the installed JIT we have a good responsiveness of the system)
Reduced Ring delay!
ROOT->superuser.apk version 2.3.6.1 updated!
Also as I reduced the ROM practically to a vanilla One, I replaced the following apk:
ADW launcher, I've abandoned LauncherPro, ADW is much more lighter, stable, personalizable and with much more settings! (and the resizable widget free )
Music.apk ----> MusicMode replaced with 1.6, provides widgets from 4x1 to 4x4 to control the music, gestures and interface much more advanced than the original
SMS/MMS MOD with led hack to set different colors and much more settings!
NEW BATTERY MANAGER from brazilian firmwares!! very very nice utility for your milestone!
BRIGHTNESS HACK:to set brightness under the minimum of the system (set to 2 where system sets to 20 lol) SPARE A LOT OF BATTERY WHEN NEEDED-> Returned to BrightControl app for compatibility iussues!
WidgetPicker MOD- new and more clean way to pick widget, this overrides the original picker- CREDITS: Boombuler
NEW- Apn-config list of apn, directly from CyanogenMOD 5.08
Google DSN Fix- thx to Kabaldan
SCRIPTS:
I have included in /system /xbin a series of scripts that can be used by ABD or (as I always do) from Terminal Emulator (whom I recommend!)
Again much much thx to zewelor1 to his efforts to improve this rom
mountsys -> mount /system
unmountsys -> unmount /system
rb ---> reboot
rr ----> reboot recovery
soundon ---> enable sound camera
soundoff ---> Disable camera sound
switchba ---> replaces bootanimation in /System/media with another
NB: New boot must be in the root of the SD and renamed "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes)
blockads ---> block all ads from applications and browser (recommended xD)
showads ---> cancels the previous script and will show all ads
movecache ---> move the cache to sd! (Much free space)
busybox ---> Updated to 1.1.7 thx zewelor1!!)
nano->console text editor -> updated to the latest included in CyanogenMOD 6 rc2
vim->very handy console text editor
mountro/rw->munt unmount /system
agent->script for bluetooth agent configuration!
Cpueater
openssl->support ssl!
Openvpn->conf vpn via terminal!
Rsync
ssh->support ssh!!
timeinfo->info uptime
BUSYBOX installed in XBIN with symlinks so we can use busybox commands without have to type "busybox" before them!
MODULES:
Included in the Rom /system/lib/modules are:
cpufreq_conservative.ko
cpu_freq_interactive.ko
overclock.ko
cifs.ko
sunrpc.ko
lockd.ko
nfs.ko
ext2.ko
they are all loaded at boot (find the scripts in /system/bin/boot_script)
SAMBA & NFS
The modules are all loaded at boot, but to use you'll have to use the TERMINAL EMULATOR on the device!
NFS---> nfs modules for Milestone | android.doshaska.net
SAMBA---> Samba mount - cifs kernel module for Milestone | android.doshaska.net
for the SAMBA there is an app right here on XDA! CifsManager I recommend to create a folder /mnt/cifs with permission 777 AND a folder /sdcard/samba
Reminder: Please, if you have problem with those modules, do not ask in this tread, ask in the linked thread; I'll help you if there is a problem with the loading at boot, but I cannot help with the use of them!
OverClock
the file is as follows:
Code:
#! /System/bin/sh
/System/bin/ insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table_addr = 0xc004e4b0
echo 65> /proc/overclocking/max_vsel
echo 1100000> /proc/overclocking/max_rate
echo "1 750000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "4 750000000 50"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
echo "2 500000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "3 500000000 40"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
echo "3 250000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "30 2 250000000"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
1100MHz with VSEL 65 and then with the other 3 step VSEL 50 to 750MHz, 500MHz VSEL 40 and 250MHz VSEL 30
may seem high (for battery consumption, having deleted the step to 125MHz) but apart from 1.1GHz there is a strong undervolt and therefore less power consumption!
Supported by the Conservative governor (which scale between especially the 2 middle steps when you do not need much power and stops at the first when not need!)
for those who want to roll to the original values and change only the last step (the highest) it's enough to delete the 71_overclock in the named folder and use the overclock app I included (and set it to boot of course)
By default both conservative and interactive are loaded at boot, but only conservative is applyed, with setcpu will be shown both, if you want the interactive at boot, see update-nosign.zip
I created simple update-nosign.zip to be applied through recovery (the GOT has miscellaneus option "apply update", do not remember in the openrecovery XD)
they have to be placed in the /SDCard/openrecovery/updates and I recommend NOT EXTRACT Leave Them in ZIP format!
So now we have
overclock650-update-nosign.zip <- simple overclock to 650MHz remains conservative and step and voltages are the ORIGINAL
overclock800-update-nosign.zip <- Overclocking to 800/600/250/125 all undervolted ! 56/50/30/22 the VSEL
overclock1000-update-nosign.zip <- Overclocked to 1000MHz with original stock VSEL! step change 1000/700/250/125 with VSEL 58/50/30/22
overclock1100-update-nosign.zip <- 1100MHz overclocking with VSEL 65 is ALREADY APPLIED BY DEFAULT VSEL step 1100/750/500/250 vsel 65/50/40/30 for those wishing to reapply it xD
NEW
I am attaching a few update to who wants a better battery life Indeed they are ULV (ultra low voltage) is not here the original VSEL xD here they are:
undervolt-550-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> no overclocking, only undervolting! (For those who really wants battery and not search performance) step 550/400/250/125 respectively VSEL 36 \ 32 \ 28 \ 16
overclock600-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 600MHz overclock the same steps as before but with 600/38 VSEL
overclock700-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 700MHz overclock the same step, but with 700 / 42 max as VSEL
overclock800-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 800mhz overclock in steps 800/400/250/125 with 48/38/28/18 vsels
overclock900-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 900MHz overclock step 900/650/400/250 with 50/40/30/26 VSEL
Dedicated to those who want performance and fuel economy: D (I have now abandoned the 1 1ghz in favor of this from 900: D)
For those who want the interactive ->
Interactive-to-boot
If you want to return to the conservative ->
Conservative-to-boot
They do their work flawlessy on MY rom (or ANY with overclock and/or governor script here before) IF you do it from a PLAIN rom (or a rom without overclock/governor) you'll have to set permission MANUALLY...
this is valid ONLY FOR OVERCLOCK/GOVERNOR, THE TEMES WILL WORK ON ANY 2.36
KERNEL TWEAK SCRIPT
This script allows you at boot (through the busybox's sysctl) to change some values of the kernel and the results??
Fluidity, speed and immediacy has increased significantly!
here is the script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sysctl -p
#
#Disable normalized sleeper
#
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo NO_NORMALIZED_SLEEPER > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
#
# Memory management
#
/system/xbin/echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
/system/xbin/echo 64000 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmax
/system/xbin/echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
/system/xbin/echo 500 512000 64 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=600000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=400000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=400000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_features=24188
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_compat_yield=1
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_shares_ratelimit=256000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_child_runs_first=0
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs=0
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.threads-max=5000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_features=29
The benefits are immediate, since the common usage!
With this tweak we can also see the improvements in BENCHMARK:
QUADRANT-820 / 835 @ 1.1 ghz
The graphics performance will improve of about 6/7 fps in graphics tests in general, if you will notice now the fps are the same DroidX / 2! So now we have recovered in graphics performance of a generation gap (the score is now penalized from the better processor power in froyo)
NENAMARK-15.5 /16.5 fps
may not seem much (as DroidX/2 here does 21 fps), but the original is 13/13,5 so I had to point out the jump in performance!
I DO NOT BELIEVE in the bench ... they do not reflect real life, but in this case, help you understand how the tweak to kernel leads to a significant improvement of the graphical management, increasing performance
Remember to make a Nandroid backup before so if something goes wrong, everything can be restored

THEMES!
The themes will be applyed via update-nosign.zip, simplifying life A LOT, just apply the update, wait a while to boot and the theme is beautiful and ready! xD
The themes are those that I believe the most beautiful found around Androidlife.de and XDA, not many, just the original and other 6, but I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you want to see other subjects and apply them: D
Theme 1: BlackDroid --->% battery
Theme DroidX but in "dark" also includes apk for the completion of the theme (dealers, contacts etc) ADVICE adw + launcher theme! the effect is garanteed! (Although with launcher pro makes his slut figure: D)
BlackDroid-update-nosign.zip
here is a screenshot

Theme 3: Simple DroidX theme! ->% Battery
Themed Droid2 / X, original, well-integrated with the android, no custom applications, just the framework and services.jar
DroidX-update-nosign.zip

Theme 4: GalaxyS Theme
Could not miss one of the most beautiful and simple: the galaxy theme is a complete theme that involves pop-up icons load etc. etc., this version replaces LAUNCHER PRO WITH LAUNCHER TouchWiz, hope you like ^ _ ^
-update-galaxyS nosign.zip
Theme 5: flatblack Theme ->% battery
A very simplistic theme lol ... a black bar with percentages, transparent curtain and stop, a simple framework for non-res custom search extreme, but just fresh up the look ^ _ ^
flatblack-update-nosign.zip
Theme 6: Sense theme
NEW! completely new! With personalized system apps, widget skin! Personalized bootanimation! WORNDERFUL!
Download → Sense-update-nosign.zip

BACKUP!
For those wishing to go back:
Original-update-nosign.zip
WORKS ONLY FOR THE FRAMEWORK AND THE SERVICES, ANY THEME WITH CUSTOM APPLICATIONS, they will remain that way THEN MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
BOOTANIMATIONS
So given that I fingerprint This Rom on extreme personalization (not only MINE but YOUR personalization!) I'll give you now all bootanimation I have xD and the most beautiful that I think, having already thought about this opportunity there is a small script included (already from v1 : p) that is just right for the situation ^ _ ^
The bootanimation I'm providing you are inside the folder with their name I recommend you: unzip the folder, NOT FURTHER Unzip, BOOTANIMATION.ZIP should remain so!
Put the file you want bootanimation.zip the root of sd (/ SDCard)
Open the terminal
ste and type two lines: D
Code:
su
switchba
DONE!!!
Easy you see?? XD
At nex reboot you'll see the bootanimation you've chosen! (Man I wasn't able to do easyer than that! LOL)
so here the bootanimations!
Bios.zip → The one of the First 2 releases
BrightDroid.zip-> Very Nice, simple but of effect! (a simple android with a light on the back that becomes stronger during the boot)
Droid2.zip-> original droid 2
DroidX.zip-> Original droid X
Droid-Does.zip-> The one that's on the rom by default, BEAUTIFUL! a Droid-Does that ends with the DroidX eye, IN BLUE!
htc.zip->we cannot let to miss nothing Original HTC queitly brilliant!
RESOLUTION HACK
This hack allows Android to Trick and make him believe we have a higher resolution screen now:
It can bring incompatibilities with older applications to. solve,go in spare parts, remove the "compatibility mode" and do a reboot, so everything will work perfectly!
Download this update.zip,will flash the new build.prop for the new resolution!
Resolution-hack-update-nosign.zip
(an amatorial estimation lol to me seems to emulate 1024x600 because seems to have space similar to the galaxy tab XD)
To who wants to undo the Resolution Hack ->
Resolution-restore-update-nosign.zip
Boys remember (then do not say I did not warn you xD) the hack is great because the screen really makes it much more capable of giving us information (quantitatively more) but it is also true that some applications may not react well despite the compatibility mode is off!
Simply because not all applications can support a resolution so high (like that emulated)
<<<UPDATE>>>
Recommend using this hack through the appropriate menu in ANDROIDIANI OPEN RECOVERY by ME and AZHAD: offers many different sets and does not want the flash of full build.prop but only the change of a line, I leave here the download for those unwilling to use the Recovery (RECOMMENDED TO USE FRO THIS ROM)
THX and Hope you like this ROM !!!
I really like to see another flavour of Rom available making it as fast and stable as possible Thanks for the post, i'll flash it now and see how it goes I've got high hopes for this Rom.

thank you very much
let me know if there is any problem
Sounds great, will give it a try.
One question though, since you put LauncherPro in /system/app, this means we can't update it through market, correct?

the market recognize it to me
if not you can simply reinstall it from the market, nothing happens (apart the fact that now the apk is in /data/app) and is surely recognized from the market
Because of the setup of this rom, do I need to use SetCpu to manage the cpu or will this rom and its modifications do it for me?

You mean the frequencies or the governor?
both are set by default as 1100/750/500/250 conservative at boot set cpu may help you to see the temperature or the profiles, but the governor and the clock is automatic
I Don't use set cpu or any cpu controller indeed

how about battery life? i'm a bit concerned about this

I used a hig clock, but apart from the 1,1ghz state (wich can be changed with the overclock app) all values are undervolted and consumes less battery, and there is also the conservative governor loaded automatically
the battery life is good to me, 1 day use with normal use (15/18% left in the night) or 15\16 hours with intense use (like 5 hours browsing 3g, gaming and video), using a data toggle widget or a 2g\3g swithc the battery lasts for like 1,5 days TO ME
if 1,1ghz 65vsel is too mutch with the app you can set it to 1ghz 56 vsel wich is the original voltage, so it is sure that the battery will last longer
UPDATE first post!
Now for who wish better battery life, does not wanto to go 1,1ghz, want a different clock, I've posted easy update-nosign.zip to be applied from GOT recovery (under miscellaneus then apply update) they can be flashed even after the nandroid restore, before the first boot for who wish xD
New steps, more overclock or less overclock for all tastes hihiihi
Let me know If you like it! And obviously what you wish to have in This ROM!
Thx Guys
maybe some screenshots or some benchmark scores ?
Yeah I was tinking to post some bench but they are only for the 1.1ghz version...
I will post some in the evening
Screenshot: its vanilla android without theme with launcher pro nothing more xD

Great ROM, love the modification u make..but the default OC make my miley loop boot on M logo, so after flash ur Rom/Mod i flash other OC zip file from u (800 Mhz), works flawlessy...
Sugestion : make theming, i would like to see a status without battery indicator, coz i use seidio 2600 mAh and the battery report uncorrectly...
Was thinking to themes I will work on it, right now I'm working on a more technical part (compcache and 2D lag) that will improve a LOT the performances (if I'll succeed to make them work of course
)

Hi, can you please tell what radio band is used for this ROM? or which official rom this is based on?
Thank you for the work.

Sorry my fault I forgot to mention it … :-(
It.s the 2.36 wind ita
so uses the european baseband... if anyone have troubles with basebands, you may see the Dexter's page with all basebands update-nosign.zip and flash them.

We try to follow good open source practices, leaving all of our stuff open via SVN so everyone can see our changes and help us grow. we try to give props where props are due in code, commits and our official posts. If we missed anyone please let us know and ill make sure its fixed. We expect other devs to do the same if they use part of our work, we wrote/build/modified most of our stuff custom so we know where its used - its upsetting to see our stuff elsewhere without the same respect back. If you like our work, click the thanks button, help contribute here, buy us a beer, whatever. We like to keep this fun but it does take time so appreciation is always welcome

NOTES
WE DO NOT OVERCLOCK THE CPU BY DEFAULT if you want to OC get setcpu or use the newly included Virtuous OC tools. ONLY USE ONE OR THE OTHER.
Ziggys still getting everything perfect the guy doesnt even have a Sensation so hes building kernels blind. Make sure to thank him!
****If you go to another kernel that does not extract our ramdisk you will break our services at least(dropbear/crond/inaydyn), and possibly the whole rom if it doesn't support pause before class start for init.d. please bug your kernel dev for a "universal" method that inserts ramdisk on flash for full compatibility!

FIXES/SVN ACCESS
Changelog is always available here - https://code.google.com/p/synergy-sensation/source/list
Our SVN Checkout address is - http://synergy-sensation.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
**sorry if there are any bugs, but please report whatever you see and thell make there way into tomorrows nightly if you want to wait for a signed zip. If you ever want a newer update than whats posted you can also just use a SVN client to check out our google code, zip up your own image and flash. SVN export, SVN update, and svn clean are your friends. Also you will need to convert linebreaks to linux format instead of CR+LF or youll break scripts. see SVN doc for more info.
USING SVN
LiquidSolstice wrote an awesome guide for windows up here(THANKS)
OTHER OS
TrevE wrote a real simple svn script based on svnkit (java cross platform no install svn client) its barley tested but should do the job. It should get our latest, update export and zip all for you. The batch script is written for windows, but you can open in a text editor and run the same type of commands on *nix or whatever. Post is here

Whats this about Spyware?
HTC has hidden "features" in the framework. this is MORE than just CIQ being removed, there are actually services hard coded in the framework logging regardless. Apparently we all agreed to this _somehow_, even though to actually find any reference to this you need to go pretty deep in settings and LOOK for it.
Go to settings -> about phone -> legal -> htc legal. it explains what is uploaded :|
If you have ANY files that arent 0k in these folders, your logging is not disabled.
Code:
adb shell ls -l /data/system/usagestats
adb shell ls -l /data/system/appusagestats
adb shell ls -l /data/system/dropbox
Also in logcat you should see this:
Code:
I/SynergyRom( 4221): Trying To Disable DropBox Service
E/SynergyRom( 4221): Failure starting DropBoxManagerService. Horray!
I/SynergyRom( 4221): Trying To Disable User Behavior Logging Service.
E/SynergyRom( 4221): Failure starting UserBehaviorLoggingService. Horray!

DCONFIG GUIDE
Dconfig lets you tune this rom exactly how you like it. instead of hardcoding tweaks we expose all of our settings and let you choose. there is never a "one size fits all" when it comes to performance settings so why not let each user customize how it runs?
The default rom setting are contained in /system/etc/dc.conf these are updated to our liking which is usually a daily driver setting.
The first time you run dconfig it will load these settings into each screen. From here on after you save your settings are written to /data/data/com.damaged.DConfig/dc.conf and will stick with you every rom flash.
Most settings are only triggered after a full reboot, not waking from hibernate. You need init.d to be triggered, if your unsure adb reboot will always work
The most common settings people change I will explain here, there is also some text inside dconfig:
Storage control
Main Page (A2SD)-
This has your typical a2sd options, but has been beefed up for synergy rom. move your apps to sd, move dalvik to cache partition or sd. dalvik-cache can get very big on this device, so be careful moving it to /cache if your going to install many apps!
For a2sd to work, you _MUST_ have your sd partitioned with ext4 if you are on stock HTC kernel or ever plan to go back and have a2sd work. ext2/3 available as partition 2 in ziggy kernel. The layout should be as follows:
partition 1 - vfat (regular sd card partition)
partition 2 - ext4 for a2sd
partition 3 (optional) - swap partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Banned App support (storage control pg2)-
Make sure your sdcard is not mounted before opening this option. All APKS will be moved to /sdcard/SynergyROM/disabled/ and on each full flash will not be reinstalled. It will appear hung when file operations are going. Also there is no confirmation on unban, it just goes. Deal Ill fix it in a later revision.
Theres two options, Automatic & Manual. Automatic is what comes up by default. Choose an operation and It will select all the default apks used to do what you chose, click to remove anything you dont want t remove then press menu save to save.
For Manual Mode press menu, Choose option 1. Select APKs you never want to use. Press menu go to step 2 to confirm, then press menu and go to save.

Basic Settings:
Zipalign on boot: This will add a few seconds to each boot, but will run through your /system/app and /data/app for files that are not zipaligned and automatically do it. this is recommended to leave on, as not all market apps zipalign there stuff if it is written for older SDKs or whatever.
Lowmemkiller: we have many preset lowmemkiller values. This is very important to the end user experience as everyone has different needs here. People run sense with a bunch of widgets, lots of syncs, like having stuff open should set this to a low number to keep things running. People that want dead apps to die right away and are looking for fast performance for what they are doing should set to a high number.
High Mem/Lowmem * - The first 3 values in lowmemkiller are optimized for devices with large memory and vice versa.
The number you choose after the highmem/low mem configures the next 3 values for lowmemkiller. these are things like empty processes, services that arent being used, etc. So if you choose 250mb, you will always have around that showing for free memory, but its going to be very aggressive killing applications off. If you use sense and kill things too aggressively you may notice stuff like widgets dying. Our automatic renice script tries to deal with this by setting them to high priorities, but your mileage will vary. I usually leave mine around a 100/150, i have alot of syncs and stuff always running.
Dalvik Heap Size: this is the maximum amount of heap space a single application can have before garbage collection comes off and cleans stuff out. Some apps want more, and less GC == less cycles == better battery but the bigger you set this the less stuff can sit in memory before it gets killed off.

Advanced Settings:
Scheduler - basically controls how IO works. noop/cfq/deadline are the 3 choices, CFQ is default HTC setting. noop is first in first out and really basic, should be OK for device but id love to see benchmarks. you can read more on schedulers here & related pages - https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Noop_scheduler
ReadAhead - this setting is in KB, it should improve sequential reads from mmc. 2048/3072 is probably a sweetspot, but once again id like to see some benchmarks!

SYSTEM TOOLS & INFO
our services are hardcoded in our ramdisk. if you go to another kernel you will likely break these.
Dropbear - SSH shell
Inaydyn - DYNDNS hostname support
Arenice - Sets stuff like mms/phone/sense to highest "nice" priority. this should have lowmemkiller kill them off last.
Perfkill- Loads setcpu perfkill module by default. If you go to another kernel disable this.
DROPBEAR / INAYDYN guide
Disk Info- Shows disk partition free space
Net Info- Shows current IP address

Other fun
Open VPN/CIFS
OpenVPN and CIFS combined is sickkk. You can do things like vpn to your home and have a symlink on your sdcard to all your home files. forget dropbox this is encrypted
explained over here
iwconfig - this lets you set wifi transmit power. download "wifi tx power" from market or run the following commands
adb shell iwconfig eth0 txpower X
X == txpower(in dBm). 32/25/18/11/4
to make sure it set run
adb shell iwconfig
and look at TX-Power (3rd row down)
Nano/Vim - These are command line text editors, useful for editing stuff quickly. they look ugly in adb shell but over dropbear look pretty
Custom bash environment stuff -
you can set custom bash environment stuff in /system/etc/profile if you _never_ us adb shell (or dont care about ugly colorcodes) and want to exclusively use dropbear you can turn colors on universally here.

TROUBLESHOOTING BATTERY
Dconfig Process Info - This is the first thing ill ask for troubleshooting battery. After you have flashed and gone through a full power charge/discharge cycle, before you reboot your phone click dconfig process info and paste it here. It must be from when you were running through for a long period of time to make any sense.
Powertop - From adb shell with your phone screen off run "powertop" This shows number of wakes per second so you can see if you have rogue processes chewing wakeups causing your phone not to sleep
Logcat - adb logcat with screen off will show you if you have runaway apps doing stuff they shouldnt.
Battery Stats - android battery stats can sometimes get whacky especially if you wipe data often (battery stats are in /data/system/batterystats.bin) Calibrating your battery with android is always recommended

OC Daemon
diamondback2010 said:
Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon
The History
but before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.
There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".
That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.
This is mainly used to restrict the amount of cpu usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.
The solutions so far were:
app like setcpu, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles
integrated solutions in the govenor itself
both these solutions have major problems.
The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because setcpu (or any other cpu tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.
The second solution is the smartass govenor. it has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.
This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.
Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.
State-of-the-Art-Solution
so we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.
He wrote a native oc daemon which changes the govenors instantly without any lag.
this leads to major performance improvements right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.
But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a gui for this, so you get the same comfort as using setcpu.
Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.
be aware that the daemon only works if all cpu tuner apps are deinstalled. otherwise it deactivates itself.
How to Adjust the Daemon
the daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.
There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.
You can easily edit these with the new Virtuous OC controller app

ive got them working just not properly yet... and why do you want mirror removed?
Wow! Great work!
I'm looking forward to this, especially the 3D tilt enable/disable thingy is very nice for me.. 3D tilt = Useless
it will support arabic language mate ???
Would I be able to flash this on a Tmous .0008 phone without problems? (Like a data problem maybe?)

HA. Clutter drives me insane, and I think of mirror as a junk app. I've heard it's hidden within camera.apk somewhere.
looking forward to this.. will it still have sense 3.0? (i hate sense lol)
I'm also looking forward to this. I remember when I used to port your Desire ROM to the HD2, good times. I hope you can get to optimize it as much as you optimized it for the Desire. Thank you Damo!

OMG, can't wait for this rom, seems so nice.
I love all you graphic features that you describe, like the transparent drawer
btw, can you add the CRT animation?
Will flash it when it's up, for sure !
Any idea when do you release it?
EDIT: Shame on me, you've added the CRT animation, no problem lol
The Configurator 2.5 Sense/AOSP**
The easiest way to configure your device !!
Works on aosp except a few sysctl settings.
These settings will be there even after a reboot, and it can be turned off via the script.
Settings:
* Set CPU Governor (This lets you change you cpu governor, it displays what governors are available)
* Set Max CPU Frequency (This allows you to overclock your cpu if your kernel can do that)
* Set Min CPU Frequency (Minimum cpu frequency)
* Undervolt CPU (Thanks Viperboy) See Notes below
* Sick Tweaks (See notes below)
* Enable/Disable Virtuous OC (Obvious turns virtuous oc on and off)
* Configure Virtuous OC (Set governor and cpu frequencies for awake and sleep)
* Turn Off CPU Configurator (Turns everything off)
* Adjust LCD Capacitive Buttons Brightness (Allows you to dim and brighten the buttons on the phone)
* Optimize Mounts (Mounts /system /data /cache using ext4 settings, speeds up read/write speeds)
* Enable/Disable SD Read Ahead (Speeds up sdcard read/write)
* Backup Apps (Backs up apps to sdcard)
* Restore Apps (Restores backed up apps)
* Backup Configurator Settigs (Backs up configurator and virtuous settings to sdcard)
* Restore Configurator Settings (Restores backed up configurator and virtuous settings)
* Enable/Disable Cleanup (Clears dalvik, cache, sdcard/trash and sdcard/LOST.DIR on boot)
* Set I/O Scheduler (Changes your i/o scheduler see notes below)
Usage:
Code:
Open Terminal
Type "su"
Type "cc"
Both without the quotes
Turning this off requires a reboot to return the settings back to normal, it can be rebooted from this script.
Settings are remembered so they will be on after a reboot too. No need to set them again after rebooting.
See Post #2 for Changelog
Post ideas for stuff you'd like to see added or any problems/questions you may have.
Devs feel free to add into your roms, just give credit.
NOTES:
Sick Tweaks: These settings speed up the system dramatically. Improves responsiveness, speed, and genearally makes everything more snappy. It changes quite a few settings including tweaking the virtual machine, kernel, and filesystem. The settings can be found in post #2, it is a copy of the script. I can't explain each setting but if you are curious about one ask here or do what i did and look it up on google.
I/O Scheduler: This can speed up read and write on your device. each kernel has their own set of io schedulers but the script displays the ones in your kernel. You current io scheduler will have [ ] around it. To learn more about io schedulers check this out:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6931
I use either sio or noop, seem to be the fastest
Undervolting: Your kernel must support this feature. If it doesn't the script will not run it so don't worry if you don't know if you have it or not. But if you want to see if you have it go to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
And look for a file called vdd_levels, if it's there you can use the setting, if not you need a kernel that supports it.

New to The Configurator?
Flash 2.5-Full, If you already have The Configurator flash 2.5-Update
Changelog:
-2.5
-Removed laptop mode and ignore nice load
-Added undervolting (Thanks Viperboy)
-Added backup/restore configurator settings to sdcard so you wont lose setting after updating, only full versions will be released from now on. (Backs up virtuous settings too.)
-Added current setting to all the settings so you know if its on or off.
-v2.4.3
-Fixed LCD capacitive button setting now it stays on
-v2.4.2
-Fixed enable and disable configurator it was backwards, 2 disabled and 1 enabled should be 1 disabled and 2 enabled
-v2.4.1
-Fixed awake 100% of the time, experimental setting i forgot to remove
-v2.4(flashable patch)
-Now flashable patch so you dont have to redo settings
-Fixed lcd capacitive button settings
-Fixed disabling method
-v2.3
-Fixed a few things
-Added I/O Scheduler setting
-Added a few tweaks
-Set led lower by default
-Fixed cpu settings wasn't turning on at boot
-v2.2
-Fixed out of memory issue in appsbak
-v2.1
-Fixed Auto Backup works now
-v2.0
-New Name The Configurator
-Removed sampling rate it doesnt do much and doesnt work with virtuous.
-Removed dual core doesnt help much and cause alot of weird bugs
-Added my Sick Tweaks can be enabled/disabled in the script
-Added AppsBak(see notes)
-Added LCD Capacitive button brightness adjust(see notes)
-Added Cleanup(see notes)
-v1.2.2
Fixed Sampling rate to work with virtuous oc(see notes)
-v1.2
-Added NEW Virtuous OC Daemon
-Added Dual Core Support
-Added Remount noatime
-Added SDcard Read Ahead
-Added Sampling Rate
-v1.1
-Added Virtuous OC
-Added Config for Virtuous OC (can be used if you already have virtuous oc installed)
-Added Ram Optimization Enabler
Notes:
-v2.0
AppsBak works manually i am fixing the auto backup but for now you can make the backup manually then update it through the configurator. Option #16 will update the backup on your sdcard reflect current apps.
LCD Capacitive brightness will make your buttons on the bottom brighter or darker. Settings limit is 50 = 100% brightness 0 = OFF.
Cleanup will delete all caches and cleanup dalvik. Will be done at each boot when enabled.
-v1.2.2
Fixed up sampling rate settings to work with virtuous oc, now has option to set sleep sampling and wake sampling rates.
-v1.2
Includes NEW virtuous oc daemon that uses the second core. It changes the governor and max/min frequencies so the second core can be on all the time without killing the battery.
Added Sampling rate but it can't be used with virtuous oc, because when the phone sleeps virtuous changes the governor which changes the sampling min/max meaning the settings you apply will not work. Conservative sampling min is 200000 and ondemand min is 10000 just as an example. So your settings get cancelled out. I may be able to make it work but its gonna take a little time. Currently the script will ask if you want to disable virtuous to edit the sampling rate. That way it will stick. Maybe in v 1.3 ??
Added the ability to enable the second core.
Added the option to remount partitions noatime
Added sdcard read ahead enabler.
-v1.1
Virtuous OC can be enabled and disabled through the script and can be configured with the same script. Just run cc in terminal. Settings are still active after rebooting. It can also configure virtuous oc if you have it installed or it comes with your rom.
Ram Optimization using juwe11's script can also be enabled through the script.

Need someone to test this on this device please. I have an evo3d but this will work on all android devices. First post is the mod second is changelog, please post results.
Thank You
Ok. I'm running cm7 alpha 7 (stock kernel) on a tmo sensation 4g. I flashed the zip, and am testing now. Seems to be working will update post after I'm played around with it some more.
Edit: Everything seems to work flawlessly, thanks dev.

testing now and will feedback
does exactly what it says on the box, works great for what it does
glad to finally have dc virtuous_oc i will include it in my rom (if its ok ) but i do think it needs an app to control it cos most people arent going to know what they are even doing without having it spoonfed to them..

Updated again to 2.4.2 via flashable zip patch. Enable and disable were mislabled 1 is disable and 2 is enable but it reads backwards.
I'm sorry if this is a noob question
how can i use this mod?

Install terminal emulator from market. Write su then root permisson window will pop up. Give permission. Then write cc and you're ready to go.
You should put in the tittle for advance users, intill you make a app for it also tell people to back up there phone before using it for those who dont know what there doing.also discibe the different options in detail like what do sick tweaks do

Anyways been toying around with it and my Sensation seems/feels faster (Sick tweaks, VR scheduler).
Yea sorry i didnt explain better, i'll work on the post. Never been good at explanations tbh. But i'll see what i can come up with.
I updated to 2.4.3, fixed the lcd capacitive button setting so they stay on now.
I changed the updates now there is just one update file, it keeps all of your settings it was getting confusing.
If you have the configurator installed just flash 2.4.3 and that's all.

After the 2.4.3 update I can't change the I/O Scheduler anymore. Weirdness, worked perfectly before.
sorry for the negative feedback, but after flashing in cw, the phone became really slow and laggy ...... i tried installing the sick tweaks, but there was no change. Then i set to turn off the configurator, restarted and still the phone feels slightly laggier
i am using cdtdroid 7.4 with bricked kernel 0.91

Sorry to hear that. I'm not sure why it could be some of it not playing well with certain kernels/roms. Unfortunately i dont have a sensation to try it out I have the evo3d thats the problem i guess with dev'ing for devices i dont own.
To completely disable it remove 78configurator from /system/etc/init.d and reboot. Then the scripts will never start.
