I wrote this guide for originally in elk759's JB CM10 thread, but with some modifications it works with every ROM and every phone.
I thought other guides were too hard to understand so I concluded all neccessary information and nothing more.
This guide is for Windows, because it uses a Windows tool to make the process MUCH easier. This only affects the modding of services.jar, so look at the original Supercharger thread for instructions withot the Windows tool.
Here are the benefits of using SUPERCHARGER, I cn approve that it works, it's faster, more apps can run and no launcher redraws!

What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

___________________________________________________________________________
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, LOOK FIRST AT THE Q&A BELOW!
1. Prerequisites:
SuperCharger_Starter_Kit_xxx.zip (contins busybox, sqlite and zipalign)
[*]V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC11_xxx.sh.pdf
Script Manager for starting scripts (on first run enable root browse AND run every script with su rights, the skull and bones symbol)
ES File Explorer (with root rights in settings->root management)
optionally: Terminal Emulator
Recommended for everyone and REQUIRED for 4.0+ Roms:
pepcisko's Windows tool for patching services.jar
Place the V6_Supercharger script and the Supercharger_Starter_Kit.zip content to "/sdcard/V6"
Place the Windows tool somewhere on your Hard Drive
Install the required apps
2. Installation of Starter Kit:
Start SManager and confirm root rights when browsing
go to sdcard/V6/1_SuperCharger_Starter_Kit and click on StartMeUp.sh
select the SU button (skull + bones) and RUN it as script and follow the instructions (install at least busybox for being safe that everything works)
3. Patching services.jar
Background information (could be very useful):
Patching the services.jar gives you the multitasking mod. Apps shouldn't restart all the time, they will stay in RAM as long as they can.
Patching the services.jar is REQUIRED for Android 4.x.x, but you don't have to use multitasking mod.
For the other Android versions it isn't required, you only need this if you want to have multitasking mod, too.
If you have Sense 4.0+ and want multitasking mod, you have to follow this, more complex tutorial.
But you can also use this method, but your visible app limit stay at 8 Apps, instead of 50!
extract the Windows tool and launch it
You can choose between online mode (phone drivers needed) or offline mode, I'll explain offline mode:
make sure you have root rights in ES Explorer and that you mount system as R/W (read/writable)
copy the services.jar from /system/framework to your SD, and connect your phone to PC
move the services.jar to the framework folder of the Windows tool directory
in the windows tool specify your Android version + if the rom is odexed/deodexed
now press "enter" -> "y" for supercharge -> "enter" for die die-hard launcher -> "enter" -> "y" for multitasking -> "enter" -> "y" to delete temporary files
You have patched the services.jar, now you have two options (both files are in "dist" directory):
Place the update-signed.zip on sdcard and install it via recovery
OR
Place the modded services.jar (and if odexed rom the services.odex too) to /system/framework and overwrite. Then you have to set owner and permissions:
In Terminal Emulator
su
(confirm SuperUser Request)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/framework
chown 0.0 services.jar
chmod 644 services.jar
Now go into recovery (or stay there after flashing update-signed.zip) and wipe cache & dalvik cache.
On your next reboot apps should be optimized.
4. Supercharger Installation
Remember: I can't promise, that the guide is always up to date. So it could happen that after an update of the script, the option numbers are different. Look at the text on the right side of the option
start the /sdcard/V6/V6_SuperCharger... script with SManager with SU rights
follow the instructions of driver options: You will be asked for Scroll Speed but also various tweaks which can improve the performance
The script calculates the preferred FreeMem size, you can use them or set your own prefered size:
After you have declined to use the calculated option you are in Driver's Console, you can choose between 33 options.
The Options 2 to 9 set the MinFree size, for the different Ram Size of the devices.
For the Desire I recommend option 6 which is called "balanced". You can try a lower or a higher option, too.
Lower values are better for Multitasking, higher values are better for the speed on the visible app.
go back to driver options and type 21 for Nitro Lag Nullifier, confirm with N (could be unstable, you don't have to use this)
After you are finished press option 17 for Engine Flush and after that option 32 for SuperClean& Restart
After the restart you should open SManager again and navigate to /system/etc/init.d, click on S99SuperCharger and enable SU + Run on Boot.
Press Save. This should avoid issues if you want to launch Supercharger Script again (for me it worked without doing that)
Widgets for easy and fast freemem change:
For compairing settings, you can make widgets, settings will be changed instantly:
- you have to select the option you want to use as a widget (e.g. option 5 of supercharger) one time in V6_Supercharger script
Your selected options will appear as a small script in sdcard/V6_Supercharger/PowerShift_Scripts
- long press on home screen, click on Widgets and select SManager
- choose the script you want to use (e.g. 512HP_UnLedded...)
Q&A Supercharger
Q: Supercharger says "sorry, your rom wipes service entries on boot". Is it an issue?
A: No you can ignore it. You'll stay supercharged. (thx to abelle_abelle for the hint)
Q: Supercharger says that I'm only 75%/50% supercharged. What is the reason?
A: Propably the services.jar hasen't been patched right. Check if the services.jar is replaced and if the owner and the permissions are right. Try it out with offline mode in the Windows tool.
Q: Do I have to patch the services.jar again after rom update?
A: If you flash the rom you have to replace the original services.jar again. I don't know if you can use the previous patched services.jar.
Q: Do I have to run the whole script again after a rom update?
A: You have to run the Supercharger script again, but it has stored the last settings and can restore them. Then you have to Wipe Cache & Dalvik, reboot and set /system/etc/init.d/S99SuperCharger to run with SU rights + at boot.
Q: Did my settings stick?
A: If Supercharger says "100% supercharged" everything should be fine. If you think there is something wrong, because of a particular message paste the log text in pastebin.com and give me the link in your post.
Q: Do I have to install the Supercharger StarterKit?
A: No, you cann try it without this first if you want. BUT some busybox versions doesn't work with Supercharger (everything below 1.16.2 and even some versions above 1.16.2.
The StarterKit installs a recommended version.
Q: My phone is getting slower from time to time.
A: This can happen if you don't reboot often (1 or 2 days). The cache is growing and there is less and less RAM.
If you don't want to reboot all the time you can make the EngineFlush in V6_SuperCharger (option 17) and a script will be created (!FastEngineFlush.sh). You can make a widget for it after you set it as favorite or launch it normally in Script Manager.
A more detailed guide about making widgets is written above.
Q: Everythings (apps and launcher) stucks after NitroLagNullifier/V6 Supercharger installation. What can I do?
A: The user abelle_abelle had this issue. He had to hard reset his device (hard reset wipes your partitions -> deletes your data) and had to reinstall the rom.
Q: Are there any possibilites to make my rom even faster?
A: Yes, with KickAssKernelizer (KAK):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32508611&postcount=35
Maybe I will write a bit more detailed guide for this. You can see what it does at the benefits of Supercharger at the top of my first post.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took me long to test and to write please give a Thanks if I helped you
Also thank the creator of the scripts (check links)
Reserved for possible addition and Q&A
Have been using this for some time, and I can confirm it works.

I'm sorry, I thought I edited the post. I'm using Elk's CM10 for Desire.
After trying several times to wait after having wiped cache and davlink (and fixed permissions) I re-flashed the rom and tried to apply the superchager script.
Problem 1: not enough spaces on the system (I'm using INT2EXT)
Problem 2: supercharger only at 50%
Problem 3: Apex launcher not recognized
Should I try to re-do everything, maybe this time with the offline method? But how to avoid the system space problem?

First off, I used it for CM10 too but without int2ext.
The reason for 50% is propably the unpatched service.jar(at beginning I had this issue too)
First, I would try to use the offline mode, the utility propably hasn't patched anything so try if it's working by manual way.
Just put the service.jar on PC, patch it and replace it. Then start the Supercharger V
script gain and it should be 100%.
otherwise do that:
On your SD Card there should be a Supercharger.html with a "log" or sth like that, please send it to me.
Additionally check if there is a "V6 Supercharger" folder on your SD, created by the script.
And check the output of the Windows tool! Be sure you have phone drivers on your PC and your phone is connected without SD Card Read if you use online.
-------------------------------------------
The space on system shouldn't be a problem, you have to use at least 250mb system (so stock hboot), int2ext only mounts /data on ext, so as I understood it is used for fatsys hboots which have 450mb system and NO space for data...
Why do you think that the space is a problem? Where did you notice it?
The APEX problem can be discussed after getting the rest work...
Please give feedback whether it worked or not

Do you have stock hboot?
Try to delete some unnecessary preinstalled apps with file explorer.
(I search for some which you could delete...)
Edit: in system/app/ you can delete at least Calenar.apk, ES File Explorer.apk and Email.apk (after backup I think you can delete Gallery2.apk too, don't know how this affects on camera)
This should free at least 4mb and should be enough.
The file was just a help file and not a log, sorry for the mistake, thought it would create a og, but you have showed me the eroor with the pics...
Hey mate can you make a youtube video showing the steps. I understand better with visuals, and thanks for sharing.

Yes I have stok hboot, and this is the first time I try to install V6 on a JB rom.
Concerning the lack of space I've done like you said, thank you!... BUT when I try to install binay 3.1 (which should fix the segmentation faults) it points out that it's only for ICS and aborts the installation. So I fixed the permission manually.
Now I'm going to check the rest and see what happens.
Fixed permission, flashed update-signed.zip, wiped davlink and cache, rebooted and... well, after HTC logo the screen turned off and only the hardkeys were illuminated
I'm going to flash the rom again and start from the beginning for the third time.

I saw that you are going to install Paranoid anyway, I have flashed CM10 recently so I have to redo my Supercharger and I will explain it in detail for you.
I will edit this post but give you a overview first.
I recommend to flash Gapps first and then enable a2sd.
Try installing Supercharger without the use of Starter Kit, Busybox, SQlite and SU binaries (v3.2) are preinstalled (if you want to check for update anyway check it in SuperUser app)
StarterKit is designed to give everyone the TESTED busybox version, to avoid problems, but try it without the installation of StarterKit, just if it doesn't work because of busybox get the one of StarterKit (I will try it with preinstalled version, not the one of StarterKit)
So here are my steps, I'll try:
1. patch services.jar with offline mode, then put the output service.jar with ES File Explorer in /system/framework
2. With terminal emulator I will set the permissions and the owner
3. I will launch the Superuser script.
You can try this while I am using this method, too, but in any case I will report if it works or not
Edit: I decided to make a video, for this I will use StarterKit too, to show everything.

Yes I'm indeed trying Paranoid, because it solves the big problem I had with Elk's CM10 (wifi not working with wifi networks with PEAP), although it is slower and I intend to revert back as soon as the problem is fixed.
I will try your method, hoping that the hateful fragmentation fault problem doesn't occur anymore. :fingers-crossed:

I don't know if it is rally the segmentation (or whatever it's called) because it only occurs in ICS, if you want to install the su binary of the StarterKit it says NO because you don't need this (I think so)

Does reinstalling the rom gets rid of the script? Because I'm currently using mildwild 5.0 and when I installed the supercharger script the rom got slightly slower, so I was wondering if reinstalling the rom gets rid of the script. Maybe I picked the wrong choices when installing the script I'm gonna wait for you to make a video so I can correctly do it.

Reinstalling the rom deletes supercharger, because system is wiped (i think so)
The Video will show how you install the script, there aren't man decisions which you can choose incorrectly.
The speed is especially affeced by multitasking mod (keeps apps in memory, a bit less RAM for games) and freemem options which you choose in supercharger script, I recommend Option 6 for balanced settings.
AS I said the video only shows the basic things (and only for 4.0+)...
Edit: Video wont have many anotations, will be under time pressure

Added a script as an attachment to this post that walks user through the removal of applications from /system without the user knowing how to use ADB.
I'm very happy with my purchase of the HTC Desire back in April this year, but have always thought battery life could be better and believe it should be the main aspect to improve with custom software.
I've read and experienced good things in regards to battery life with 2.29.405, so decided to make myself a ROM that's based entirely on it, with only removing applications I don't use, adding undervolt for even more battery saving and adding AP2SD which is essential due to the low internal memory.
I thought I would share it in case others may wish to try it out, I highly recommend the new radio.
With thanks to:
Paul - for rooting the HTC Desire
UnrEVOked - for making the above easier and finding ways around the new bootloaders
IEF and co - for the S-OFF hboot
Cyanogen - His Wiki on compiling all things Android and guides on how Android works
Richardtrip & snq- - helped a lot with questions I've had
Teppic74 - Getting me interested in ROM cooking, his modified AP2SD and scaling scripts
iscaela - Undervolt driver
dsixda - for the Kitchen
What you get:
ROM based on 2.29.405 WWE RUU posted here
Busybox (1.17.3)
Bash
Init.d support
NOT deodexed
AP2SD+ via EXT partition (Supports EXT2 and 3)
Read ahead value changed to 128, improves reading speed from the SDCard
Undervolt driver with -100mV on all freq's (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Moved hosts to /data to allow updating via AdFree Android application without the need to have S-OFF (do not use the symlink in AdFree Android)
Perflock disabled (Hex edited to support the Kernel from the RUU)
Updated applications
- REM GSD
Installation Guide
If you do not have an EXT2 or 3 partition on your SDCard, create one before going onto step 2
Copy the ROM .zip file to your SDCard
Reboot into recovery
If you've come from a different ROM, wipe data, ext, cache and dalvik-cache
Flash the .zip file
If you downloaded the ROM Editor script and wish to use it - do not reboot and proceed to step 7. Otherwise reboot as normal
Extract the contents of the ROM-Editor.zip
Run the ROM-Editor.bat file
Select option 1
Read the warning
Follow the prompts on screen
Once applications have been removed, press 3 to exit and reboot
If you've not already installed the recommended Radio, reboot into recovery and install the radio
Download link:

Recommended Radio - one that comes with the RUU
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Addons (Attached to this post)
Reduce Undervolt - Reduces undervolt from 100mv to 75mv, flash if you're experiencing stability issues.
ROM Editor - Run ROMEditor.bat as administrator and follow the on screen instructions. Recommended to run after first flash.

Sorry for my english and for my stupid question but hboot upgrade or not, and is german language supported?
Hi, I installed it 3 hours ago and I'm trying it. It's very fast at now (I put LauncherPro Plus)! So, some question for you:
1) Can I put SetCPU? It will work?
2) If i'd like to uninstall some features like facebook, footprints ecc can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
i waited this really thnx good work
just a question if i am not a fan of a2sd+ and i didnt make an sd ext
if i install this rom it will take more memory than the base rom or what ??
i mean in some roms if it's a2sd+ and u dont have ext after flashing the rom u find that the memory is very low and that's what i'm asking about now..

It's not a stupid question. According to the language menu it supports:
English
English Irish
French
Italian
Spanish
It doesn't contain a hboot upgrade.
You can use German via More Locale2 from the Market, failing that I can try and add German support. I'm surprised a WWE ROM doesn't list German.

1) SetCPU should work yes, this ROM doesn't support overclocking but will allow underclocking.
2) You can remove any applications you want by booting into recovery and removing the .apk and .odex file via adb shell.

It won't take any more memory than the base ROM. Nothing gets installed to the /data partition until you setup phone preferences via the setup wizard, install system application updates via the market or restore backups. Also due to the removal of peep etc, the ROM takes up less space on the /system partition.

I've never used mod install location so I can't say how well it works, I do know that:
1. Not everything can be forced to the SD Card
2. Some applications like flash, third party keyboards and applications with widgets you use, don't like being installed to the SD Card
In regards to the Mirror, does the multi upload link not provide you with more choices that RapidShare? Unfortunately I'm away until the weekend so there's not much I can do until I'm back.

Hi, I'm here again! Can I deodex your ROM with autodeodex from AmonRA? If I deodex it, then I can remove Application like facebook ecc simply from phone...but shall I remove HTC sense too?
Thank you for posting this

Hi again!
I've removed with adb the application as you said, everything went fine. Deodex ROM give me more pain, so I abandoned this idea. But now I've another question...can I change the BootScreen? How?

Push the bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/customize/resource, via adb. As its in /system you'll need to do via recovery, unless you're S-OFF and you know how to mount the system as R/W whilst phone is running.

Unfortunately, no.
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting. You should wipe unless you are already on a Froyo ROM.
Swap:
To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable
$ su
# sdswap.sh disable
Compcache:
If you are using are already using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...
Some questions before putting this on, since I'm always a noob with installing new ROMs...
1) Is this in a stable and smooth stage yet (with everything working properly) or is this still in developmental stages? What is the difference between this and cas_xp's?
2) I'm currently running The Celestial Teapot at 652mhz, will this be noticeably slower considering it doesn't have overclock (does it?). What's the deal in regards to overclocking?
3) I can install this fine (flashing it) over Kalt Kaffe's TCT ROM (replacing it with this one) or do I have to somehow get TCT off first?
Forgive me if my questions are nooby, I always prefer to overask (woohoo new word) in regards to ROMs
Whatever the case, thanks for working on this! Awesome (really) if it works perfectly, but even if not, I like seeing any development with U8100.
Unfortunately, it won't boot on huawei u8110.
I've tried to delete data/fatory reset, but it didn't help.

1)This is @cas_xp's but modded.
2)I haven't tested yet. But the previous version wasn't as laggy. I'm going to try to bring OC in. To reduce lag.
3) You should probably wipe before coming to this ROM . I should probably put a short flashing guide in.

It will take a long time to boot for the first time. It is deodexed.
I left it for 5 minutes to boot. Do I have to wait longer?
OK. I'll try one more time.
edit:
No, rom doesn't boot neither after 10 minutes. It is stuck on my Movistar initial splash screen.

Thank you for your effort tahahawa
First of all... Thanks Chainfire!!!! This is totally based on your work.... i made only some MOD....
Ok, the work is quite finished... the CF-ROOT for I9003 is ready!
I called this "beta version" (since i need your tests/opinions) but all might work.
IMPORTANT: This is only for KPH Firmware!!!
You can flash this over any other CWM or over the stock FW.
Many people will ask "Why i have to install this?"... because with this your phone will have:
- Root ( don't need to use SOC or any ZIP);
- Busybox 1.17.2;
- Sqlite3 v3.7.2;
- init.d support (you can put in the folder /system/etc/init.d all the script that you want to be loaded at the startup);
- New fixed CWM ( unyaffs issue has been fixed - offline charge fixed - USB storage mode while in CWM fixed);
- Add EXT4 support to the phone ( so you can convert the filesystem to ext4 to improve performance);
- full working CWM Manager (backup - restore - delete backup - install apk - flash update.zip - flash kernel - reboot to CWM);
- Tweaks Manager with various tweak ( Ram Min Free - SD Speed - I/O Scheduler - Kernel Scheduler - CPU Conservative Governor - Swappiness - Ram Script by Juwe11 - Media Stagefright)---> Many people asked for Juwe Ram Script ---> to enable it completely choose in the Tweaks Manager: Ram Script - Ram Min Free and Swappiness;
- Auto ZIP-Align on boot - You can choose it in the tweaks app(NEW)
- Reviewed tweaks values (some from darky's rom some from hardcore some from other post in XDA)( thanks to bigeyes0x0 and Misledz )(NEW)
- Custom Boot-Animation support (place your custom bootanimation in /system/media/ and call it sanim.zip)(NEW)
To do:
- other tweaks suggested by you...
- whatever can be added.
Let me know what you think
HERE you can find the original post.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1- Flash with Odin the .tar file
or...if you went from a previous version of CF-ROOT
2- Download the .zip file into the external SD the open CWM Manager --> flash Kernel --> select the file you have just downoaded
IMPORTANT:
If you cannot find the two apps on your app drawer maybe you haven't space left on /system so delete some unused apps like aldiko, delere /system/cfroot folder and reboot
IMPORTANT/2: after the flash the phone might take some time to boot. You might think that it freeze on Samsung Logo but it's normal cause the auto-zipalign proc need some time. Just Wait.
UPDATE: Added CF-ROOT with my custom kernel. This have Ext4 inside the kernel (no modules) and OC to 1.1 Ghz. I think that it is secure. I haven't test it very well so please report me the issues you will find.
!
Version 05.09.2011 Changelog:
- added Graphics Boost Tweak (thanks Gana)
- added acid tweaks (thanks to the people that worked on it .. specially Bigeyes0x0);
- reviewed 00tweaks file by Bigeyes0x0;
To disable journaling on ext4 partition apply the attached journaloff.zip in CWM (Not CWM Manager app - it must be fixed).
There're two version of the CF-ROOT, the version with **CWM_Manager** can be flashed with CWM Manager App (select flash kernel) the other with odin (like always)
UPDATE 20.10.2011:
CF-ROOT for XXKPM can be found HERE:
- Standard Version --> http://www.multiupload.com/S463K75UED
- Surprise version ( i suggest you this) --> http://www.multiupload.com/G20L6PL5WC
What's new ?
- I finally finished the custom bootanimation support.... now works like he have to works. Just copy your bootanimation into /system/media and rename it to sanim.zip.... i think that here you can find what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17322814#post17322814
IMPORTANT!!!
If you have installed the beta version you must know that the ext4 conversion for that doesn't work properly. Ok, system, cache and dbdata will be on ext4 but data not. This because the init binary check on boot if /data have rfs FS and, if not, it format the partition wiping all your data.
In the new version i modified the init binary so it cannot do it more
I must say that i became mad to discover this damn thing !
A few questions: Are you using the latest fixed version of CWM? Also you mentioned that you would be releasing another update soon regarding the Nandroid backup image corruption issue. Is it in this release?
Also: Is this an alternative to ROM manager, apart from the inclusion of the tweaker tool?
Regarding the enhancements, could you please elaborate on some of them and what is safe/not safe to use (particularly in the tweaks and what they do)?
What I understood, after looking over all the posts, was that you optimized the CF-Root by chainfire for the i9003, by using a compatible Root, CWM, and adding an ext4 kernel? Are you going to port the ext4 converter tool as well? Will we be able to use an external SD card with ext4 formatting (Could be used to store files larger than 4GB)?
Sorry about the ton of questions. Trying to learn, and what better way to learn than from the best!
I'm going to take it out for a test drive now on XXKPE with ext4! Will report back later!
Thanks for your valuable work, I'm a huge fan!!!
Cheers
Update: Confirming that the passive charging bug has been fixed! Thanks Skin1980!
I cannot find the CWM or Tweaks icons in the app drawer as indicated in your screenshots. I can access CWM recovery mode using the 3 button combo though.
I had installed the last version of CWM by Amit and formatted with ext4 and I just used ODIN to flash over that install. I tried flashing again, still not appearing in app drawer. Any solutions?
Great job skin.. Hoping for the early release of a stable one.. Will test it later
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium App
it's great...>.<
Auguri! Ok wow, This is pure genius . I've always been wondering what our CWM were based off. I guess using this would fix most issues people get when flashing CWM, since it's based off the original firmware
Also I'm loving the tweaks, they seem to make the phone more smooth, Although I've seen a few bugs after applying this I can't seem to use the V6 charger script anymore I get an error, will be posting one shortly. There are some minor hiccups in between and I tend to get FC on some apps when I multitask.
Edit: Turns out It's busybox related, no shell access. I've tried launching Busybox by Stericsons to check and It says no root access was given and boots me out.
i happy that u r belong to this community
Is there any recovery module or tweak available, in which we can handle basic file operation like copy, move from sd card to system or any thing similar?

1- The CWM used is always the last... if i'll update the CWM i'll update the CF-ROOT;
2- The CWM fixed reguard nandroid backup is under test;
3- My CWM isn't ROM Manager compatible... with the CWM Manager from Chainfire you can do a lot of things without going into CWM
4 - to convert in EXT4 just follow the guide on the other thread;
5- Not sure if you can format in XT4 your external_sd... try ;
6- The tweak are all sure... now i haven't time to exlplain better... some don't work.... some other work.
7- If the icon don't appear in app drawer try to check into system/app if the two files are there... if not try to remove /system/cfroot folder and reboot. Maybe your system folder is full so you can install they manually, the original apk are inside /res/misc/ folder.

What your asking for is impossible.
Update!
The problem I had turned out to be due to the lack of space in the "/system" folder - as you had predicted Skin1980! Once I deleted some unnecessary software, I was up and running fully within minutes!
The phone works great! The fixes are really good! Having no issues except for one so far. I can't seem to mound "sdcard" in CWM recovery mode and cannot do a restore, for the same reason, from the CF-ROOT menu.
I have a feeling it's something I did wrong earlier, so I'll reflash completely and try again ('cause I have a lotta time on my hands atm and I want the bestest possible phone I can get).
Note: This doesn't seem to be compatible with DDKB2. Assuming that this is mainly for GB firmwares? Can someone corroborate this?
As usual, thanks!

I did notice that initially it was fast. But as I kept it going through the day to recalibrate the battery, it did slow down and start to lag. I thought it was something to do with that. Also I felt that I had done something wrong with the flashing.
Going to overhaul my phone completely: Format, re-partition, XXKPE install (flashing twice), flash fixed CWM from the other thread, root using SOP 2.1.1, install busybox requirements for deodexing (this failed for me the last few times), restore settings using Titanium Backup, Nandroid backup, ext4 this baby, restore, and then install CF-ROOT to monitor.
Wish me luck! See you guys on the other side... again!

You've got the wrong thread mate!
Your bandwidth is capped by you operator and is dependent on how much they allocate you. On top of that 2G is physically limited to certain speeds which, usually, cannot be surpassed by legal means, and the illegal ones give you too less of a boost vs complications and errors to even bother about (I mean big ass hardware)!
For the newest tweaks, see post #2. Will have links and info there.
Here is a flashable zip of 3 scripts that when put together speed up your phone and make it faster. I did not write these scripts, I just edited them to work like Car-O-Dopes tweaks. It basically has the same values as Car-o-Dopes tweaks. I used the S97ramscript, KickAssKernel, and 02sicktweaks but I changed the values of each script to match what Car-o-Dopes tweaks do, and I wanted to share this with you all because it makes installing these tweaks easier and faster. Thanks to zeppelinrox for the kickasskernelizer, Juwe11 for the S97ramscript, Smokinl1337 for the 02sicktweaks, coffehandle for giving me the idea when he made his own tweaks, and Car-o-Dope for coming up with the ultimate combination of out-of-memory settings and sysctl tweaks that make your phone smooth as butter.
I use this on my HTC Evo 4g running Shooter E3D, with AnthraX kernel and it works like a charm.
Just incase anyone is wondering what this does for your phone, it can make it run a lot faster, smoother, and a whole lot better. It could possibly increase battery life as well.

Flash at your own risk. I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions: Follow Exactly
1) Make a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong or you want to revert.
2) Download a file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (I use Root explorer).
3) Open up root explorer and go to /system/etc/init.d. Click on the "Mount R/W"(that way you can delete files).
4) Delete any or move to a folder on your sdcard (incase you want to revert) any ram scripts or ram tweaks you may have that is in the "init.d" folder (examples of ram scripts or tweaks are 01sysctl, 06sysctl, 02sicktweaks, S97ramscript, 99supercharge, and 98Kickasskernel).
5) Also if you are running v6 supercharger, you need to un-supercharge. If you are running Kickass Kernelizer, you need to un-kernelize and do not run those scripts while you have the niftyconiptionsscripts installed.
6) Uninstall any ram manager apps or task killers and do not use these.
7) After you uninstall all of that, reboot your phone and verify that none of the scripts you had before are still installed. (it will mess with the scripts you are about to install).
8) Boot into recovery (preferably Amon Ra).
9) [ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING THE ORIGINAL TWEAKS] Once in recovery, you need to mount /system, then mount /data.
10) Find the niftyconiptionstweaks.zip you downloaded and flash it.
11) [ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING THE ORIGINAL TWEAKS] After you flash the zip, go back and unmount /system. Don't mess with the /data because after you flashed the zip, it automatically unmounted the /data for you.
12) Reboot phone and enjoy. Let your phone set at the lock screen for about 2 minutes, unlock and let it set for another 2 minutes to let it settle in. Your phone will become dramatically smoother after about an hour.
To see if the settings stick, in root explorer go to /system/etc/init.d and see if you can find the scripts. For a double check, download Rom Toolbox, go to the "performance" tab then check the "Auto Memory Manager" and see if it has values of 6,12,55,70,85,100 and "Sysctl tweaks" section to see if it has the values of 4096, 70, 50, 50.
If you're having trouble getting the settings to stick, double check that you've done all the instructions and if you have, download Busybox Installer off of the market and change your busybox to 1.18.2. Remove the scripts that may have been installed when you first flashed these tweaks, reboot, reboot again into recovery and flash the scripts.
Nifty Coniptions Tweaks
Updated niftyconitpionstweaks. Install just as you would before and follow directions as posted above. I got rid of some unnecessary settings in the scripts. Also your sdcard read ahead speed will change to 512kb which is the optimal value for the evo.

The Legit Zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40376256/Nifty-v1.01/TheLegitZip.zip
Here is The Legit Zip I just put together. This has the same settings as the V6 Supercharger on option 8 and the Kickasskernalizer. I did not change any values to these so its the same as installing those two scipts manually. Again, I did not write these scripts, I just put them into a tweak bundle to make it easier to install. Thanks to zepplinrox for making the V6 supercharger and the Kickasskernalizer. To install this, follow the same instructions in the first post and remember to skip steps 9 and 11.
To see if the settings stuck, download Rom Toolbox Pro and go to the performance tab, Kernel tweaks or Sysctl Tweaks (depending on what version of the application you have) and see if it reads as Min Free KBytes - 4096, Dirty Ratio - 95, Dirty Background Ratio - 60, VFS Cache Pressure - 10. Then go to the Auto Memory Manager and see if it reads as 6,12,150,165,180,200.
If you would like me to add another version of the V6 Supercharger just let me know.
Have fun and hit that thanks button if you like it.

oh bah i swear once i decide to flash something else new stuff comes that i wanna try out. any thoughts on flashing this after a fresh(i dont mean the fresh rom i mean new) rom install? just do the rom and setup and reboot then or think its ok to flash right after the rom (obviously following instructions as above after step 8)?

You should flash the rom and boot up because remember you need to delete any ram scripts or tweaks that may be built into the rom itself and also so you can be able to tell a difference after using these scripts if you like it or not.

You mentioned in the OP that you were running the Antrax kernel... I thought it didn't support init.d? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I remembered reading that somewhere. If it does, then that's awesome cuz I love that kernel.
It's works for me. I've also got the most updated kernel he released. I've never heard of it not supporting init.d

Then obviously what I read was misinformation. It doesn't make sense to create a kernel that doesn't support it. BTW, this little tweaks zip you created is awesome. Thank you for your work sir.
wow i did the exact same thing and was thinking if i should post it
EDIT:
OP, if you want a better update script let me know. You wont have to do all that mounting and unmounting
Damn, this probably wouldn't work well with unvisible tweaks, I think it also has the ramscript, but if it does then wouldn't it just replace what was made before, so I wouldn't think it would cause any problems.
We need a BULK tweak zip that has all of these tweaks already in it, **** even include vipermod and v6 supercharger, oh my would that be a amazing all in one script.

you dont need to use v6 with a ramscript. Its redundant.

Hello everyone!
Finally, I am satisfied with my chacha. I was constantly shifting between stock custom rom and cm roms. In stock rom everything works but automatic backlight settings are just terrible (especially dim threshold and keyboard light settings) and status bar is bigger than in cm roms (32px vs 25px). Cm roms have all of this but there are other things that still need improvement (front cam, some stability issues etc.). Therefore I decided to create my own mod of stock rom. It is based on Europe RUU 1.3.3 android 2.3.3. I couldn’t find anywhere 2.3.5 Europe rom but to be honest I don’t see any difference between the two. There are two versions:
1. Full sense rom: Link
What is different: rooted, added busybox, support init.d, dta2sd included (you need to partition your sd to ext2 or ext3 after installation and enter dta2sd commands from terminal emulator – google for the commands if you don’t know them), changed the ugly calculator app, added file explorer, added latest play store, Flash player 11 is working. I haven’t removed any apps because in this version I wanted to leave that to the user according to his/her own preferences. Status bar is smaller (more space on the screen) and I themed it a little, removed charging icon (I know that it is charging because phone’s led is orange ). Automatic brightness is tweaked (added lower brightness level, lowered the max brightness of the f button, and added one level for the keyboard lights (sometimes, in stock roms, I couldn’t see my keyboard clearly and the damn lights just wouldn’t turn on so I had to do this tweak as well). And rom is fully deodexed.
2. Stripped rom (no sense): Link
What is different: rooted, added busybox, support init.d, dta2sd included (you need to partition your sd to ext2 or ext3 after installation and enter dta2sd commands from terminal emulator – google for the commands if you don’t know them), changed the ugly calculator app, added file explorer, added latest play store, removed sense, added widget locker, holo launcher, removed a lot of bloatware (at least, bloatware for me), f button is not assigned (I’ll leave that to the user, I use it to turn my screen off but didn’t changed it to this since several people reported issues). Same automatic backlight and status bar tweaks like in the sense rom and it is also deodexed.
3. Stripped rom (odexed): Link
What is different: Same as in stripped rom with the exeption of these: odexed (now 120mb free out of the box), status bar icons have an ICS look and color (wifi, signal, data, bluetooth etc.), notification toggles app added (fully functional and works great, just in the settings set it as an on-going notification and as old in order to be always on top; it has many different icons and styles and colors are changable as well, really nice app), fb button is set to turn screen off, dta2sd not included, different backlight values.
Automatic backlight and status bar tweak for odexed version: Link
Automatic backlight and status bar tweak (sense and stripped deodexed): Link
Flash Player 11: Link
Instructions:
1. Reboot into recovery; wipe data/factory reset; mounts and storage/format system; install from sd card; choose and install your rom; reboot your phone; finish your first boot setup.
2. Reboot into recovery; install from sd card; choose and install backlight.zip; reboot your phone.
3. Install flash player apk; reboot phone.
That’s it. Hope that someone will like it.
Sorry for the poor screenshots.
Regards
P.S. I am not going to support these mods. Everyone is invited to use them and do with them whatever you want. So please don’t ask me does it support this, does it support that, can you do this, can you do that. For me, it is perfect and I don’t need to do or change anything. Everything is working for me. I just wanted to share it with you. I hope that you can understand this.
Edit: I used this guide (thanks kylon) to improve wifi signal range and it worked for me, so I am going to share these settings with you. Mke sure you do this with your WiFi off. Here is what you have to do:
1. Copy your calibration file (found in proc in the root of your phone) to the sd card (it is best to do all steps with root explorer) and download from the attachments framework.jar (here is a link for an odexed version - extract jar and odex files) and symlinkv2.zip.
2. Move the calibration file to system/etc and set permissions as they are set in the screenshot.
3. Reboot into recovery and install symlinkv2.zip.
4. Open calibration file in system/etc (again, best with root explorer) and change this line: rssi_offset=0 into this: rssi_offset=-30
Delete created bak file if you are using root explorer.
5. Copy downloaded framework.jar (I already modified it according to the offset - 30, and if you are using odexed version copy both jar and odex files) to system/framework and set permissions according to the screenshot. Reboot your phone.
6. Done.
This trick did wonders for me and my wifi, hope it will help you as well. If it doesn't, try different values both in calibration file and framework.jar according to the original thread.
Cheers.
Looks noice
Is it faster/smoother than the stock rom? I would go back to the stock rom if it wasn't so hard to configure and it wasn't so damn sluggish compared to CM7/CM9.

Every rom that I use is fast enough for me. Even the unmodified stock. I just wanted to get rid of some apps that are obsolete for me, and I needed to improve backlight settings because when it is night the original settings don't dim the lights enough which really hurts my eyes and I hate that because I have to manually dim. In this rom I don't have that issue. Lights dim automatically.
Although, I found out today that there is an issue with the dta2sd, or maybe the kernel itself. DTa2sd moves my apps and dalvik to sd-ext, clockworkmod creates a backup of sd-ext in a backup folder, and when I restore it my rom just will not mount my sd-ext on boot after that, thus I need to do a fresh install. I would appreciate if someone has an idea why this happened? It is not an issue for me, since I am going to use this rom for a while, but I would like to fix it for the others. When I don't use dta2sd there are no issues. I looked in init.rc in ramdisk, but couldn't find anything unusual. This happened to me with Void rom as well, so I really don't know where to start regarding this.
Regards
Edit: I have been using recovery for a different phone. I just realized this and now, with the proper recovery, everything is restoring fine.

I don't know about data2SD, but I use link2SD, and that works perfectly but with the stock rom, you have to format the sd-ext partition in ext2 rather than ext4, and you can't do it with clockworkmod either, cos it doesn't format it properly :/ you have to use a tool like gparted (if you're a linux user) or some windows/mac equivalent to format it properly
Wow that does look pretty nice.thanks man.

Stripped with full stock Facebook Button Functionallity
Great work. This is a solid setup. Thanks for the hard work.
I appreciate that you left the F-Button unassigned for the end user, but is there a way to get back to stock functionallity using your Stripped Rom?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the exceptionally quick response. Unfortunately I ran into an error. Let me walk you through what I did.
1. Dowloaded Sripped Rom, and all the files in the previous post.
2. I unzipped the Rom on my desktop
3. I inserted each of the files in their respective folders
4. Zipped the Rom back up
5. Transferred to SD
6. Booted to Recovery mode and tried to flash.
Here is what I got ....
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

That is weird. I just tested it, and it worked for me. Maybe you zipped it with high compression or sth. Try with normal compression. If that doesn't work, I will upload zip for you later today. I use recovery 5.0.2.8, but I don't think that it matters.

Flash Player Stopping
Stripped down ROM is great - now have more room for downloading apps.
One problem I've come across on this ChaCha is that Flash Player stops working (returns to home screen) after around 2 seconds of playing anything.
Anyone else had a similar problem?

As you can see from the screenshot below I don't have that issue. Try different flash player for armv6 devices. There are few, just google it.
dta2sd
Little suggestion. If you are planning to use this rom for a longer time, after your setup, copy your data from your sd card to your computer, go into clockworkmod recovery, in advanced options partition your sd card (I set sd-ext to 256, don't need more) and reboot. After that download terminal emulator from play store. In terminal type this:
su (then press enter and allow superuser permissions)
a2sd reinstall (enter and wait for your phone to reboot. It will take some time)
After it is booted enter this:
su (enter)
a2sd cachesd (press enter and wait for your phone to reboot. It will take some time).
The end result you can see in the attached screenshot. After installing all my apps I still have over 120mb free.
Of course, after everything is done copy your data back to sd card.
Regards
Added wifi tweak to the first post. It works for me, hopefully it will work for you as well.

Thanks for this rom, great daily use
Great Rom, Thank you!
This is the best ChaCha rom I have used so far. Everything works great super fast flash even works!
