Multitasking script from One X - HTC One S

I tried this and it seems to be working, I runned 5-6 apps at a time and no refreshes!
I need some confirmation on this though, could be just my imagination.

very exciting.
any side-effects of using it on One S? the author mentions some hiccups during heavy gaming, for example. can it be used on stock rom?

Nothing here so far, just seems to handle the multitasking way better than before. Yes it should work on stock. Just follow the instructions given in the thread
Sent from my One S

Are you running the stock rom? I am on stock/rooted and don't have an init.d.

hehe.. I am too impatient to wait for a reply, I installed a custom rom that supports init.d and all is good.
It really does seem to work! Thanks!

FYI, if you want to try this on a stock rooted ROM, download minfree manager from the market and use the following mild multitasking values from the one x script
10 16 24 30 34 40
Tried it out and it really seems to help. I've got maps, gmail, chrome, pocketcasts, minfree in memory at the same time and only maps refreshes when switched to (but it's a pig, so unsurprised). Don't set "apply at boot" until you're sure you don't have any issues.

This works! I just installed it on the new Zydroid 3.0 1.84 base ROM. I have chrome beta, Pandora, Pulse, Currents, GMail and Facebook all running, and NONE refresh even after having them in the background for 5-10 minutes.
This phone FINALLY works as it should. I can switch between apps without being afraid that my current position will be killed. And Pandora was practically unusable for me as it kept getting "cleaned", causing it to hang, skip songs, etc. It's now working as it had on every other android phone I've owned.

same setup here but no matter what i do i can't get it to work - everything refreshes just like before.

For me it's way better and just as smooth as it to be. I have removed sense launcher and widgets, though , so I probably have a little more ram available.

This script will work for all deodexed roms, look in system/etc/ if there is a folder called init.d and if there is you are on a deodexed rom.

what should be the correct permissions? i have it on rwxrwxrwx.

Which one do you guys use? I used the ultimate one and it started killing apps left and right
Using CM9

it would be nice to have something like the last 5 apps used not killed and the other killed like in stock behavior so we can free some resources!

Take the values from the One X script and multiply by 4, then divide by 1024.

So, if I'm in the U.S i have odex and can i run this script? I know o need that init.d but it would be nice to know from the get go.

If you have init.d working on your ROM... the multitasking script should work fine. I don't believe it has anything to do with odex /non-odex

Just installated....the process was very quick.Everything looks fine.I will come back after setting all my apps.
Interesting, I've been looking for a Sense ROM with low battery drain and decent speed, I'll give this a go.
I thought bluetooth was not possible to fix on G1 Sense ROMs?

Ok I managed to fix the issue by superwiping and reinstalling a further two times... and it really isn't that fast at all, has crashed twice upon opening keyboard, not sure what to say about the ROM really. <-- fixed by rebooting phone once more as mentioned below.

salute to the infinimod team.BIG THX for the multiple mirrors too,especially mediafire,good looking out! flashed,booted,currently running.moving stable,still has a bit of lag but am coming from the big bad froyobylaszlo, so that's what am comparing it to.lol took some stuff out, maps,stock,etc running better now.keyboard feels sweet,even with haptic feedback on.thx again.
Another error. There is no (some?) audio support, no ringtones work, no soundtrack on videos.
EDIT: "Battery Low" sound and dial pad tones work fine, so it's just the ringtones, notifications, and intermittent video audio tracks that are the problem at the moment.
And there's no way to connect it to the pc... :/
But it's stable.

I am using a T-Mobile G1, and have definitely got the new radio & spl combo as i installed them firstly to use cm6 2708 port then froyo by laszlo. Everything on the sd is partitoned correctly, i think the initial install problem was just a hiccup as it is definitely stable after i rebooted once more. Also im not sure why but the A2SDGUI app stated swap was disabled, is this just a display error or should i set it to on with the app?
Sorry if i sounded somewhat disappointed in my posts, just been after a near as perfect as possible sense rom for a while .

Apps Not Working For ICS [as of February 25th]

I have several apps not working for ICS (PyroIce 1.1.0) and. I'm wanting to figure out if it is bad installs or are others having problems with these apps and other apps as well. So I figured we can all help each other narrow down which are genuine compatibility issues with ICS from the app developer side as opposed to which are custom rom issues as opposed to which are installation (user specific) issues. Please contribute!! If this catches on I will maintain this thread so that those visiting it can add to it but will only have to look at this original post for the updated complete list.
Currently not running:
• Friendcaster Pro (installs but force closes when I attempt to log into facebook)
• Words With Friends (installs but has constant force closes)
• Shadowgun
If you are on ICS and successfully running an app on this list please post saying so. And if you did anything out of the ordinary to make it run please include that info.

The signature of this post lends to believe ICS is in play - maybe the issue?
Other people aren't having issues (noted in the thread) myself on my ROM and someone else on the stock ROM...
Trying to determine if ICS is the issue since it is not stable like our GB roms are. But there wasn't a clearinghouse type thread to determine rom vs user error/bad installation. That is what this is to determine since we may not have official ICS for a minute.

The only app I'm really having trouble running on my phone with ICS is the original freeware version of Pac-Man, and it's a graphics problem.
did you restore them as backups from other roms running gingerbread?
All of my app problems are on fresh installs from the Android market. I would suggest anyone with app problems on ICS do fresh installs as opposed to restores from titanium or other backup apps. That has fixed problems for me before.

[MOD - 6/27] Multitasking Mod *v2* - Improve Multitasking Performance

It should improve multitasking performance on any 1.88 Based ROM. It would prolly work on just about any ROM base but TBH but I have only tried it on the 1.88 base.
Version 2 - 6/27/2012
This new version incorporates the values suggested by Calkulin.
You do not need to revert with undo.zip first. You can just flash this over.
Although I have not had time to test this mod in depth I believe it will outperform V1 now knowing what Calkulin has taught!

Version 1
I simply removed these lines from the sh script. Nothing else was touched. The red line is for our device.
Code:
echo "0,2,4,7,9,12" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
case "$hardware" in "elite")
[B][I][COLOR="Red"]echo "7746,9720,11694,13742,15715,24709" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree[/COLOR][/I][/B]
;;
esac
case "$hardware" in "ville")
echo "7946,9953,11960,14008,16015,25108" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
;;
esac
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have also included an "Undo" zip to replace the .sh file with an original untouched file straight from the stock ROM. You may want to back yours up manually. The file is located in /system/etc/.
You may want to check with your favorite ROM Dev to ensure this mod will not over write any tweaks they have placed in the ROM. This will work on any CleanROM 3.x version.
Needless to say this mod will not make your phone handle 1,000 apps simultaneously but it will allow Android to handle the memory as it would on any other phone without any modifications from HTC.
Hit Thanks!

You might want to hold on that. The mod improves the multitasking functionality by a bit, but not significantly.
Previously, before this mod, only the last used app will be cached in memory at most. With this mod, I can cache more apps in memory (depends on the apps opened and cached). So far, once the app is 4th place and beyond, the memory is immediately cleared. I'm using it with Kobra rom, but I look forward to Scott's new update to see if multitasking will be improved significantly. I'll be testing it more in the afternoon when I have more time.
Still very useful if you're flipping back and forth between 2 apps and a big thanks like Scott for making for making this mod.
I can cache more then that,
Edit I opened a lot of apps and most of them can be cached, the only apps that didn't stay in memory were Facebook and Instagram and that's only because they were coded that way(I think)
Facebook is different because if I cache on news feed it'll redraw but when viewing a picture it'll remain frozen in time.
This mod is fo weal fo weal

Edit: sorry to keep spamming your thread Scott but I just wanted to say that this mod plus cleanRom dev edition.. is pure win. All the function I really want from sense and not a lick more (maybe that's why my apps cache lol). Plus I don't have to add all my usual favorite tweaks (gradient, themes, etc) all I add to this is the hd YouTube and a little tinkering with cpueditor and I'm cooking bacon.

Thanks for the mod! I actually edited the sh file on cleanrom 2.6 se and it's working great (didn't want to flash your zip in case the script file from 1.88 is different than the one in 1.85).
Multitasking is noticeably better.
Interested to hear from more people on how well the phone runs with this. I was under the impression that sense is a resource hog and robs ram to run smooth. Allocating more to apps, affected at all ?

You can always wipe just once. If you have ever owned an evo you'll find left over data sometimes after a fresh install. So I always recommend 3x wipes to make sure your phone is cleaned all the way,before install.

Both Roms now data app enabled. Xloud volumes have already been lowered,can be adjusted in dsp manager. Beats now native. On NS. Go launcher is slow at first it needs to build cache. Once it boots fully, just reboot and it speeds up.
This is much better in new version.
Mms issue on SS will be handled, by Handcent as native mms. It's just way better. And works flawlessly.

Multitasking Fix?

I believe that one of the devs on here said they found HTC's framework to be killing tasks way before they should be, any chance that this will be documented for use with all 2012 HTC phones? Many phones like the Evo LTE, One X, One S, etc, are running into this issue, and it seems to be a very common problem.
My boyfriends' HTC Raider just received a 4.0.3 update from gingerbread going from sense 3.5 to 3.6, and suddenly multitasking on his is just like my One X... I really loathe this new direction HTC's taking.

I read about how there's some HTC code that basically forces tasks to hibernate/kill after a certain amount of time, and I thought that might be a big reason why multitasking is broken.
Why are there still threads about multitasking? The 4.0.4 largely fixes multitasking problem.

Since updating this morning, I've found multitasking to be hugely improved. I can go 3 or 4 apps back, that haven't been run in awhile, and they're still sitting in the same spot. In the past they would definitely have had to restart. Really liking the update.

Ditto. Post AT&T update I've yet to have the multitasking issues. I'm not sure if HTC did something to improve multitasking or if things just aren't flagged to be killed as fast because there is more RAM available upon boot up.
The issue has become a non issue post update for me though.
The update certainly fixed mine, and I HATED it before. Browser no longer reloads when I switch back, nor does Tapatalk, both of which were notorious culprits. Sense doesn't crash when coming out of gameplay now, either.
I went from less than 200mb of free RAM on a reboot to between 350-400mb of free RAM.
To me, multitasking is night and day different on 4.0.4.

Every other post is saying how much multitasking improved, so go install CleanRom or other 4.0.4 based rom and judge for yourself. I ran 4 apps last night for an hour between Chrome, Facebook, Phone, Message, etc and multitasked them no problem with a ton of screen on/off. None of them had to reload once. It's not perfect, but to say not even close is a retarded statement.
The main problem with multitasking is that by default, it's limited to 15 apps max, so unless it's running as a service, there can only be 15 apps running at once. And since HTC likes to include all these extra apps, like HTC message uploader, music enhancer, HTC services(runs as an app actually), etc, 15 apps is not a lot, so when a new app is launched, it starts to kill apps no matter how much memory is left.
I've already discovered how to raise the limit, I'm just testing a couple of things before I release it
It does seem to be better on 4.0.4. The one thing that annoys me is that while I don't need to reload pages and all, I do have to get into the recent apps even for apps I don't close out the app. But it's much better than before.

Cool, that was what I was wondering about.
Looks like there are still things yet to be discovered about the multitasking shenanigans inside our ROMs...
While more ram has indeed solved hangs and reboot issues, I find chrome still reloads, facebook still reloads, among others... For me, multitasking is no different than before and I've so far tried most of the 4.0.4 roms.
So yeah, I'd say multitasking has a ways to go yet, but that's just me... The above user's response is NOT retarded; that's just disrespectful... More like it's just his experience, and as far as user experiences goes, I'm finding the One XL to be really inconsistent.
Still, definitely an improvement. Baby steps.
