[TWEAK] Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1 - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

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

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)

Nice job Thomas, look forward to seeing what else you have cooking. Battery life has been awesome so far with build 7. This should only enhance performance

I'm at 27% battery with about 17 hours on time and 4 hours and 20 minutes of screen time, and I've been using the phone quite a bit today texting and surfing!

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

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.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.

[Q] [ROM] Ethereal 1.2

hi everyone,
this is actually directed to Jscott, regarding the ethereal last build 1.2
my question is:
I was using your stock at&t gb with root and cwm.
specifically your option 3 in the threar you posted over in development,
a few days ago ive been using the ethereal rom v1.2
ive been experiencing some differences vrs the stock gb uclb3.
is it possible that battery life is shortened with your rom?
could this be because of the kernel change? (stock has entropy's dd, ethereal infuzion core a)
lets assume kernel could be the cause, is it possible to flash entropys kernel into the ethereal rom? would it affect its performance?
lidroid toggles work partially in some cases, like flashlight wont turn on sometimes.
can the rom have issues regarding the response of the screen, in some cases it seems to fail to respond. have to push my finger a lil bit more to the screen.
im very new to this area of flashing roms and stuff. just wanted to say ethereal is very cool, you did a very nice job with this! thanks!

Glad you're enjoying Ethereal. I'll tell you a little "secret". Ethereal is Option C from the Odin UCLB3 packages I put together. A few images and graphical values have been changed to make it look more custom, the launcher has been changed to AOSP, and lidroid toggles have been added. If lidroid toggles get a little wonky, as they have from time to time in most custom roms, a reboot should clear things up. As for battery use, I've had about the same for both stock and Ethereal. Most have reported good battery stats on the rom, but your mileage may vary based on how you use the phone and what apps you use. You may notice a slight difference when using Entropy512's daily driver kernel, as it was designed to provide good battery life. You can flash it with this rom if you would like to test. If you aren't comfortable flashing kernels, you may want to give Zen Arcade's Infuse Toolkit a try. It gives the option to try different kernels.

your response much appreciated!
can I flash the kernel same way as in the post you made about using different kernels?
it's impressive it is option c. in performance they have alot of difference, ethereal has no lag whatsoever.
thats why I was asking if I change to entropy512 dd from infuzion, would that affect ethereals performance?

I personally get good performance with Entropy512's daily driver and Ethereal, and you can use any of the kernel flash methods (easiest being SGS Kernel Flasher from the Play store).

I've changed the kernel with sgs kernel flasher, gonna give it a shot how it goes. Where can you see what version of kernel the phone is using? I've tried in settings/ about phone, but that doesnt seem to change. Im not a heavy user like gaming and alot of texting, I just feel, what would you consider good battery life?

You can see the kernel information in Settings / About Phone. The kernel info is the same for both Zen's Infusion-Z and Entropy's Daily Driver since they are based on the same kernel. For battery life, I can get about a day and a half if I hardly use the phone. With moderate use, I have to plug it in when I go to sleep each night. That's about as good as I get for battery life on stock, on UCLB3 based custom roms, and on CM9. This is with keeping the phone in airplane mode and with wifi on when there is bad cell reception. This phone eats up battery when it searches for cell towers and can't find one. I also keep my screen as dim as possible, unless I'm outdoors, keep GPS off unless needed, and keep auto-rotation off unless needed. If I have a day where I use the phone heavily, and the screen is on for several hours at a time, I get about eight or nine hours, but top it off at work or in the car to make it through the day. This is pretty average for most modern smart phones.

so still reading.... kids are distracting me and making me lose focus... So I'm gonna ask a question I shouldn't have to.... Can I install just the supercharger starter kit and then move on to step two of post two? Or do I need to install files from post one as well?

I would install BusyBox from that post because there are reported issues with other versions of it. Then just use SManager and run the script as SU.
Most of the ROMs have tweaks built in. But for tweaks specific to our device, I have some I am doing testing on now. I will probably post them this weekend. And just so you have an idea, I am on my GummyMutt ROM at the moment at 22 hours uptime (off charger) and at 58% battery. I have the launcher transitions set to cube and it just snaps to the next screen very quickly and smoothly. Boot time is also increased by about 20 seconds, and the data speeds are noticably amped up as well (currently on 3G).

So do you think that v6 Supercharger could cause more issues than not with the built-in tweaks? I don't mind having to restore my phone and start from scratch again, but don't want to waste that time if I don't have to.

Ultimately, it depends on the ROM you are on and wether or not you have the built in tweaks (liberty tweaks) turned on... Basically, if you turn on the built in tweaks after installing supercharger, you will have issues. Not-to-mention, supercharger is not specific to our device, nor are most of the built-in tweaks...

Yeah. I figured that.... I did run into an issue that caused my system to start FCs when I tried to run supercharger. One clicked and started fresh.
I'm willing to test any tweaks in development if you need ppl. Otherwise I'll wait and see what your guys are cooking and just keep learning.

[ROM]The.Emilio Unchained -- 2/23/2013

"What the hell bro,
you spilled mayonnaise on my new kicks yo!"
Team SOLO aka The.Emilio presents
The.Emilio Unchained featuring the Seeder Entropy Generator​
Prerequisite: So basically, I made this little ROM that is based on the latest CM7.2 Nightly (1/1/2013) and wanted pure speed out of this. I had came across a little mod called Seeder that I shared in the General thread and everyone seems to be having great performance increase, and that was on Jelly Bean based ROMs. I personally experienced this on a Jelly Bean based ROM and actually underclocked with a MIN setting of 384 and MAX of 652 with no lag at all. On Jelly Bean!!! So I said to myself, self, how awesome would this be on a Gingerbread ROM? Well, here it is. The.Emilio Unchained.
Whats in it?!?!:

On some (older) versions of Android, the JVM (and other components) read large amounts of random data from the blocking /dev/random device. On newer builds, this problem has been solved, yet depletion of the input entropy pool still seems to slow devices.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? Significant lag reduction!
Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications switch instantaneously, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
This version fixes the issue some users were seeing on later Jellybean ROMs, where the UI would misreport the RNG service status.
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.
Caveats
There is a (theoretical) security risk, in that seeding /dev/random with /dev/urandom decreases the quality of the random data. In practice, the odds of this being cryptographically exploited are far lower than the odds of someone attacking the OS itself (a much simpler challenge).
This may adversely affect battery life, since it wakes every second. It does not hold a wakelock, so it shouldn't have a big impact, but let me know if you think it's causing problems. I can add a blocking read to the code so that it only executes while the screen is on. On the other hand, many of us attribute lag to lacking CPU power. Since this hack eliminates almost all lag, there is less of a need to overclock, potentially reducing battery consumption.
There has been a large amount of speculation on why/if this actually improves performance on ICS+ devices.

LOL yessir! Stick around man. This is gonna be fun. More and more tweaks are being created for newer devices to run better, that in turn, they make our OG run better. Gotta love technology advancements!
Yes sir!!they are definitely blowing up over in the android forum.
Edit:you want to hear the funny thing?your the one that turned me on to the Seeder app and i was thinking i ran across it myself,until i just found your thread in general,lol.Great job on the find,now to see how good it works.
Its amazing. My thread in General is a testament to that. Mind you as of now there are no additional battery tweaks other than the Mason kernel and user ability to uc. I wanted to get this out as stock first so we can get a good impression on how well this runs without addition build.prop and init.d tweaks. I will be adding battery tweaks for better sleep states, kernel optimization tweaks such as COD and more in the future.
Everyone please leave feedback on how this is running. As I am typing this I am in awe of how responsive it is.

This rom rips, seriously! Underclocked to 245-768 and the phone still felt overclocked. Looks good and looking forward to whatever tweaks you decide to use.

It is. It's a widget that I included called one clock widget. Long hold on the home screen, add widget, its the one named ocw. There are many skins you can choose from. The one I am using is chrome rings I believe. But there is a vast amount of other nice skins as well.

Everytime I think the EVO is just about forgotten, you guys show that it is still a major player in the super phone world. Thanks for all you do. I will definitely add yours to a boot manager slot of Roms I use!

Thanks I appreciate that. As mentioned this is only the beginning. I plan on learning on how to optimize this and others on a deeper level other than basic tweaks. Learned alot just looking up vm enhancement and kernel enhancements for this rom which I included.

Which ROM is Your Favorite?

First off, this is not "which is the best", this is "which is your favorite". People have their allegiances, I get it, but for those who are new or who want to try a different ROM, a thread here in the Blaze forums would be useful! I also understand there are other threads like this elsewhere in xda, but I want this to be Blaze exclusive!
Ok, so which ROM is your favorite and why? Be descriptive, let our community know!
And most important, this is not a knock on any dev. All you guys do amazing work and without you, we're not here!

My favorite ROM is Thomas.raines ParanoidAndroid! Second ROM I've ever flashed on this Blaze. I love all the features it has from looking like a Phablet to having a tablet UI! One day, I hope it would have the Halo notifications! But of course. We will have to wait for that CM10.1 everyone is waiting for!
Paranoid Android by TR is definitely a favourite. Ran it for a while, but needed stability for work so I went back to CM10 + BlueLightning kernel.
ParanoidAndroid was my second ROM as well and love it. Still love it. If only it had all the sound mods that LiquidSmooth has! The ability to change UI is awesome, the split screen settings menu, and the LZ kernel baked right in are major highlights! Recommend PA to anyone on this forum!

Started on Beastmode's slim bean, have currently been running all the latest Cm10 nightlies. With BlueLightning X2 kernel. Still switch back to slim for a change. Super stable and great battery life on both, can't go wrong.
Props to Racing for AOKP too, along with BlueLightning.
Bugless Beast back in the day on Droid 1! I guess because that was my first Android phone I rooted and the best ROM of the tons I tried!
Not the first time I 'rooted' 'jailbroke' or otherwise gained #su but I LOVED installing new homebrew applications on my PSP handheld gaming system too!
My next favorite ROM? The one developed by someone not trying to sell it to the attention if a kid. Seriously I can't talk professionally about this kind of stuff if I tell my co-worker I'm rooted running CandyCane Super Sweet K.K. for KUSTOM KERNEL on a modified JellyBean android custom ROM called Orange Sherbert Swirl and the amazing Technicolor Steamboat.
Yeah I made all that up just to get my point across! I felt it was necessary lol.

CM4Life plus all the inverted apps I can find from TeamBlackedOut.
Cm and tweaked. Used lz kernel.
Cm is just badass. Abd tweaked ifs the only stock Rom that kicks ass...
Oh and [email protected] of whatever...what a joke.
Thanks again guys for awesome roms!

Racing's AOKP. Smooth & stable, no crazy bells & whistles. I like the ROM Control settings. Not interested in split screen phablet stuff, the screen's not big enough for that. Only issus is CPU clock & governor settings not sticking after reboot, but I don't need to reboot that often.

Racings AOKP-NOS injector-Racings Blue lightning X2 Kernel-AC!D Engine V5. I run underclocked at 1.296 most of the time unless i need the extra power. The combo is extremely smooth and stable. Never had a reboot, absolutely no lag, great gaming performance(oc'd GPU included with X2 helps), my average daily battery life is 12-13 hours with 4-4.5 hours screen on time, and almost all settings work as they should besides the built in cpu clock changer which works but doesn't stick after reboot. What more can you ask for?
Edit
Use kernel tuner for changing CPU clocks and governer as well as other great settings.
Edit again...
Forgot to mention I force 2G and disable data 75% of the time because most places I go have WiFi and the area I live in has "light green" coverage meaning there's ****ty 4G signal...Weak Signal=Bad Battery Life. Forcing 2G and disabling data improves battery life noticeably.
By force 2g you mean 'GSM Only' right?

Yes, I use a toggle to enable/disable whenever, instead of going through settings. AOKP has a bunch of customizable toggles within the ROM. Good stuff.
The only reason I have been on stock ICS is because instagram was having issues with jb. Or else I would be on a cm variant

I have. While in the option to select your filter the image disappears. Switching filters will bring it back, but only for a second. Workable, but annoying.
My issue was the app crashing when refreshing news feed. You can solve that problem by disabling something under developers settings. Sorry haven't been on jb in a while I can't recall what its called but you will see it. Its an option that is checked by default near the bottom of the page under developer settings

Here's my battery life so far, with aokp and nos injector. Nos is great especially the newer builds. Nos is now called project direct inject, get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
