Rant: So I "cleaned up the OP" by adding little headings and hiding stuff. So if you want to post that it's still confusing, DON'T bother.
If you don't like it, don't use it. (And calling yourself a n00b is a BS excuse - READ and LEARN something like everybody else did.)
So... if you don't read and search first, and ask redundant questions anyway... be ready for...

Post #2 Info! - This is for the application of the following 3 Mods to services.jar!
Mod 1. ICS and Jelly Bean - require the Jelly ISCream Mod done in conjunction with the V6 SuperCharger Script to SuperCharger your launcher!
Mod 2. Froyo and up - can have the New Maximum MultiTasking Mods (Maximum Overdrive and the Time Killer Killer)
Mod 3. Sense 4 and up - remove the Sense 4 limit of only 8 visible apps with the Non-Sense App Limit!
These 3 mods are applied with my:
-=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- (fully automated exe/bat/sh tools) OR...
-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script (formerly called Jelly ISCream Smali Patcher) to automate Step 5 in Post #2 - the smali edits
Note: The webapp needs updating (aka the "Automatic Transmission" in V6 SuperCharger) and won't work on JB!

SuperCharger = Speed + Multitasking!
No more lag! No more launcher redraws! Smooth & Snappy!
It's the ONLY Complete Memory Management Fix!
There is NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT!
It Runs Like A...
So... HOLD ON TIGHT!
Terms of Use:
99SuperCharger Tweaking: Of course, I don't own any rights in regards to the actual tweaks applied to system settings.
This means anybody is free to mess with OOM groupings, OOM priorities and minfrees.
So it's fine to modify and share your tweaked 99SuperCharger file as long as you leave the credits intact
Developers may include the attached V6 SuperCharger Installation Script in their roms. (This installs 99SuperCharger)
The attached V6 SuperCharger installation script may NOT be disassembled in any way, or be used as a part of any memory management app or package.
This is because it is no different than an app/apk found in the market. It's an installation program.
I don't own any right to tweak OOM Groupings, OOM Priorities, or minfree values. But I do own this program.
ATTN DEVS: Baking the V6 SuperCharger memory system in your ROM is 100% fine.
..................Don't make it a "secret" feature. Make it a PROMINENT feature and give proper credit and a HTML link to this thread.
..................You can include the V6 installation script in the system/xbin folder so users can use it with terminal emulator
.................. - giving it a short name is fine as it's a pain to type long file names in terminal.
..................Do not modify it, do not rebrand it (ie. It's not called "V6script"). Thank you.
This is the only permissible distribution of the attached installation script - unmodified, in a custom rom and in the system/xbin folder.
Modification and redistribution of the attached installation script is not permitted at all.
This means that you cannot feel free to zip up the attached installation script with other tweaks and this means that it is not be edited and shared.
ATTN USERS: If you use or encounter a ROM with the V6 SuperCharger memory system, without proper credit given and no SuperCharger source links, please make the Developer aware of it, and if necessary, please let me know about it. Thank you.
Personal Use: You may tweak the V6 installation script (leaving credits intact) to your own personal liking as long as it is NOT redistributed in any way.
If you want to share this, just link to this thread.
If you want to make a thread in other forums telling people about it, that's great.
But I would prefer that you do not post a copy of the V6 SuperCharger installation script in those forums.
Your co-operation is very much appreciated.
I don't want diluted/broken V6 SuperCharger installations floating around and then have people say it doesn't work.
=============================================================================
Bonus Battery Calibration Info:
First, let me link to my method of calibrating the battery without downtime so you can use your phone normally and do it whenever it's convenient.
It definitely works on Milestone and it seems to work on Droid.
I think that's a pretty good trick, anyway - it may even work on other phones
Note: You can also try my Die-Hard Battery Calibrator script which is on the download page.
Update: As I suspected, any calibration method doesn't magically make your battery last longer
.............. - All my battery tips/scripts really do is help ensure that you are actually getting a full charge. THAT'S IT.
.............. - Which is why my Die-Hard Battery Calibrator has always notified the user the REAL percentage vs the REPORTED percentage
=============================================================================
Summary of Steps (Yeah, it's THIS friggin easy...)
Before you start reading, just know that this is not difficult to implement... it's easy. There's more specifics below but basically:
1. Download a script
2. Install BusyBox (Attached! - see install instructions above the attachments)
3. Install Script Manager (Enable Browse as Root in Config)
4. Load script into Script Manager (Run As Root - the skull and crossbones icon which turns green when selected)
5. Follow instructions/user prompts & select what you want
6. Patch services.jar as needed (see Post 2)
See? EASY!
Note: If you get errors, or fail the driving test, use the SuperCharger Starter Kit from the download page.
Essentially, the Starter Kit makes sure that your ROM has no silly stability issues.
It includes:
A proven busybox
Fixed su binary (for segmentation fault issues with superuser.apk on ICS only)
zipalign binary and sqlite3 binary (used in Update 9 RC*)
=============================================================================
Know that the script explains what it does before it does anything!
It holds your hand along the way and it will answer nearly all your questions as it moves along!
It works on ALL Android devices - Custom Roms or Stock Roms, Phones or Tablets, it doesn't matter!
Also Note: Nothing else does what The V6 SuperCharger does!
................Not AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Not Auto Memory Manager, Not Minfree Manager...
................And NOTHING BEATS IT. PERIOD.
So... if somebody says to you that V6 SuperCharger does the same thing as [pick any app], tell them to first read about what they're talking about so that they can actually have an informed opinion.

Memorable User Comments:
"Feels like I have a new phone!"
"V6 is one the best things to come to android."
"Supercharger rocks bro, I'm actually mad I waited so long to do it..."
"I wish I hadn't upgraded yet"
"Now I can wait to upgrade",
"I was about to throw this phone through the wall",
"I was about to return it but now I don't have to",
"This cured my phone of cancer!"
"Oh man... just applied the V6 Supercharger Script by ZeppelinRox on my Android.. I think it fixed everything..",
"My phone is better than new!",
"my phones has turned god mode on or somthing",
"I never notice this at all, until I flash a new rom and realize its not there anymore lol."
=============================================================================
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!
=============================================================================
RAM Lesson:
Important Note: FREE RAM IS NOT WASTED! - Read Linux Memory Consumption
...................... That article TOTALLY confirms what I've been saying!
To Summarize: Article: "Performance degradation occurs when "Absolute Free Memory" (includes Cached RAM) decreases."
...................... Me: "Lag happens when free ram goes below the 'lag level'"
Same thing, different language
Big Thanks to dev hardcore and this post for helping me figure stuff out way back when
=============================================================================
Note: Do this at your own risk - regardless of how little risk there is .
............ It has the UnSuperCharger Option to uninstall, but do a nandroid anyway.
............ Simply reflashing your ROM will also wipe it clean from your system.
=============================================================================
Requirements:
1. Rooted Android Device. Milestoners, you can use Universal Androot (not in market ?)
2. Script Manager or Terminal Emulator to run the script. Stock ROMs can also use SM to load up boot scripts!
3. Busybox v1.16.2 OR ABOVE. You can use any of the ones attached to this post which contain a Feature Rich busybox v1.19.4 by wraithdu (CWM flashable.zip, "Normal" Installation script by me and one which reinstalls BusyBox on EACH boot by me.)
OR,,,
Grab the SuperCharger Starter Kit and have busybox plus other tools (fixed su binary for ICS with superuser.apk and not supersu.apk, zipalign binary and sqlite3 binary) installed instantly!
BusyBox WARNING: Some versions are "minimal" with many missing applets and functions! I also find v1.18.3, v1.18.4 and 1.185 VERY much a hassle with errors that should NOT be errors! Avoid any such versions! Minimal is BAD!
4. Optional: AutoStart Script by me - Enables Stock ROMS (Milestone + a few other devices) to utilize etc/init.d for boot scripts.
=============================================================================
Installing/Using:
1. Download the attached V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt/pdf script and save to your sdcard.
- Do NOT run the V6 SuperCharger install script at boot!
2. Run the script:
A) Load the script (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt/pdf) into Script Manager and select "Run as Root" (skull and crossbones "Su" icon - it turns green when selected)
OR...
B) Run Terminal Emulator and simply type: su and enter, sh /sdcard/V6*.sh and enter (provided you saved the script to the root of your sdcard)
OR...
C) via ADB on your computer. In a console, type: adb shell and enter, su and enter, sh /sdcard/V6*.sh and enter (provided you saved the script to the root of your sdcard)
3. Get SuperCharged! Just pick an option! The extra options (Engine Flush, etc.) explain things before doing anything
4. READ the script's output!
5. Afterwards, READ the html HELP FILE in the root of your SD Card!
6. Non-ICS/JB ROMS - Disable "Lock Home in Memory" if your ROM has this option. (This takes effect immediately.)
7. Optional: For a quick status check, you can put a Script Manager widget for V6 SuperCharger on you desktop
8. Reboot - required if it's your first time SuperCharging the rom.
9. Check if it works - After reboot, run the V6_SuperCharger script and check the info under the menu.
10. Patch services.jar as needed (see Post 2)
Cool! - Here are a few recent tutorials:
[GUIDE] How to install Supercharger V6 (includes patching steps)
[How To][Video Tut] Install/Run V6 Supercharger + Basics (uh... video)
[GUIDE] V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC 8.2 + for Samsung Galaxy Young (includes a little KAK tutorial too)
If you are using compcache and have lag or slow down after SuperCharging,
DISABLE compache, wipe caches and re-enable it.
Non-ICS/JB ROMS - Be sure to uncheck/disable lock home in memory!
Note: V6_SuperCharger-AOR.zip is for use with Milestone's Androidiani OpenRecovery. Even if you have a Milestone, don't run it within Android.
........ AOR Usage: Extract to the root of your sdcard (Directory structure is in the zip)
.........You will now have a SuperCharger Menu on the main screen. Simply select the menu and select 1 of the 12 options.
=============================================================================
Pro Tips:
- CUST-OOMIZER! Use your settings without Autokiller Memory Optimizer or Auto Memory Manager!
- Use the 3rd slot to set how much free ram you want.
- If you have a viable init.XXX.rc file, it makes a backup and edits that single file. This is nice and tidy.
... Thank to kabaldan for pointing out the importance of certain things.
- Most Custom ROMs - If you have a /system/etc/init.d folder, it creates 99SuperCharger in there and edits your choice of either /data/local.prop or /system/build.prop (18 entries added for adjusting priorities and groupings). You shouldn't need to configure anything else.
- If the minfree levels do not stick on your Custom ROM:
........ Check /data/Ran_Supercharger.log to see if it ran... (Update 9 RC*)
........ If this happens to you, use Script Manager to load /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "on boot" and "run as root"
- Stock ROMs - It also creates /data/99SuperCharger.sh which you can load up on boot (run as root) with Script Manager. The OOM groupings work as well since it happens on boot in local.prop or build.prop (18 entries added)
In case of any error, you will find a related help file in the root of your SD card.
So... I think this covers ANY Android ROM
The Help File! (Abbreviated)
-=The V6 SuperCharger=- created by zeppelinrox.
Here is some Background Info in case you're curious...
Linux Memory Consumption - Nice article!
Memory and SuperCharging Overview or... "Why 'Free RAM' Is NOT Wasted RAM!"
MFK Calculator Info - explanation for vm.min_free_kbytes
Stock ROMs: After running the script, have Script Manager load the newly created /data/99SuperCharger.sh on boot
In the "Config" settings, be sure that "Browse as Root" is enabled.
Press the menu key and then Browser. Navigate up to the root, then click on the "data" folder.
Click on 99SuperCharger.sh and select "Script" from the "Open As" menu.
In the properties dialogue box, check "Run as root" (SuperUser) and "Run at boot" and "Save".
And that's it!
Script Manager will load your most recent settings on boot!
If you run the script later and with different settings, you don't have to reconfigure anything.
Script Manager will just load the new /data/99SuperCharger.sh on boot automagically ;^]
Custom ROMs: If you have a custom rom that loads /system/etc/init.d boot scripts,
You DON'T need to use Script Manager to load a boot script. It will all be automatic!
Also, if you can run boot scripts from the /system/etc/init.d folder, there are other options.
For example you can use an app like Terminal Emulator to run the script.
NON-ICS ROMS: If your ROM has the option, DISABLE "Lock Home In Memory. This takes effect immediately.
Alternately, if you need to free up extra ram, you can use "Lock Home in Memory" as a "Saftey Lock".
ie. Use it to toggle your launcher from "Bulletproof" (0) or Hard To Kill (1) to "Weak" (2) in the event that you want to make the launcher an easy kill and free up extra RAM
If Settings Don't Stick: If you have Auto Memory Manager, DISABLE SuperUser permissions and if you have AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, DISABLE the apply settings at boot option!
Also, if you have a Custom ROM, there might be something in the init.d folder that interferes with priorities and minfrees.
If you can't find the problem, a quick fix is to have Script Manager run /system/etc/init.d/*99SuperCharger "at boot" and "as root."
Another option is to make a Script Manager widget for /system/etc/init.d/*99SuperCharger or /data/99SuperCharger.sh on your homescreen and simply launch it after each reboot.
For those with a Milestone, I made a version for Androidiani Open Recovery too
Just extract the zip to the root of /sdcard (it contains the directory structure), load AOR, and there will be a SuperCharger Menu on the main screen!
==============================================================================
The above is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
The V6 SuperCharger Script EXPLAINS EVERYTHING that it does - as you use it!
Anything below is extra info!
So get SuperCharged FIRST and then read the stuff below to see how it works!
==============================================================================
The Nitty Gritty... For Geeks! (WARNING: This can make a non-Geek's head Assplode!)
If you read Post #3 (History Parts 1-3), you'll see that at first it was only about minfrees and launcher redraw.
But after installing GingerBread, I saw that it needed more work than Froyo LOL.
Groupings were ALL MESSED UP and made NO SENSE to me whatsoever...
So I figured out how to group them more like CM6 (Froyo) but that still wasn't good enough...
So I further rearranged the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values and created a SuperCharger for phone memory...
THE ONLY COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
Upon installation, V6 SuperCharger will first clean up any previous supercharging so none of your files get cluttered.
But if you toggle between Hard To Kill and BulletProof launchers, the memory adjustments aren't affected.
So you can leave your minfrees at stock/default settings and apply the Hard To Kill Launcher and still get the OOM Grouping/Priority fixes.
So if you love your ROMs memory settings, just try a SuperCharged Launcher/OOM Fix... you won't regret it
It's pretty awesome
Here are some snaps....
Before...
After...
During....
Bonus....
Say Buh Bye to AKMO or any app that has to load on start up to change minfrees...
So did you notice the difference in groupings?
By default, CM7 has nearly all the apps in slot 5 and the launcher in slot 3.
Slightly aggressive settings will kill any chance of multitasking in that situation.
After SuperCharging, the apps get moved to slot 3 while the launcher is in slot 2 but the most important item in slot 2.
I've read, "oh you don't need to run any scripts for memory management..."
Well that's not true.
Playing with minfree values is one thing... it's playing with minfree levels... it's not really memory management...
Look at the pics above... now THAT's memory management...
If you look below at Post #3... that's how it all started... good background info in case you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about.
Notes: Minfree changes take effect immediately!
.......... Switching between Hard To Kill (strong), Die-Hard (stronger) and BulletProof (strongest) Launchers require a reboot to take effect.
.......... Disable your OS's "Lock Home in Memory" option, if it has it
.......... Or use "Lock Home in Memory" as a "Saftey Lock" - to toggle your launcher from "Bulletproof" (0) or HTK (1) to "Weak" (2)
.......... Note: "Lock Home in Memory" is not ADJ 1 with my OOM Grouping/Priority Fixes
Cool Tip: Sometimes it's difficult to keep a wanted background app alive, such as an SMS app. See how to Bulletproof Background Apps!
Remember: When using scripts, use the SuperUser app to DISABLE SuperUser permissions for AMM!
................. It can still monitor your OOM groupings but it can't change your custom settings on boot.
................. If you have AKMO installed, disable it's option to Apply Settings at Boot!

Hacking services.jar
What's this for? - Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, ICS, Jelly Bean AND Sense 4.0+!
ICS and Jelly Bean - Jelly ISCream Mod (SuperCharge Your Launcher)
Note 1: Earlier Android ROMS need ONLY The V6 SuperCharger Script to SuperCharge the launcher!
Note 2: The webapp is NOT working on some newer roms! The strings to be edited are slightly different and the webapp needs updating!
It also lacks the newest edits and is NOT recommended for the time being!
Froyo and Up - Maximum MultiTasking Mods - Includes -=Maximum Overdrive=- and The Time Killer Killer
Sense 4.0 and Up - Non-Sense App Limit
See the -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- thread for more details about the Multitasking and Sense mods!
Use the Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script to automate Step 5 (the smali edits) in the tutorial below!
Or use my latest -=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- to do ALL the Steps in the tutorial! It works for DEODEX and ODEX ROMS and can be run on Windows/Linux/Mac OSX OSes!
===================================================================
Jelly ISCream Mod Information!
===================================================================
The NEW Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools and Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script include all the -=NEW=- Jelly ISCream edits described in Step 5 - PLUS many more! (over 50 edits!)
These additional edits truly makes your launcher SuperCharged!
They also apply the latest Maximum MultiTasking Mods
The webapp hasn't been updated so it's NOT recommended.
===================================================================
Installation - Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Run the NEWEST V6 SuperCharger script as always.
Note: You may get Segmentation Fault errors running the V6 SuperCharger script on ICS due to a flakey su (superuser) binary.
To resolve the issue, you can:
A) Go HERE for a fixed su binary. No more fugly segfaults! - Thanks to wraithdu (only for superuser.apk on ICS)
OR...
B) Go HERE and get the SuperCharger Starter Kit!
2. Patch and install services.jar - by whichever method you like best. Your options are, in order of EFFECTIVENESS:
Note: Options A, B and C require Java to be installed on your computer - Click to Verify Java Installation
Option A) Use one of the -=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- (exe or zip) which DO EVERYTHING for you "Fully Ultimatically" on DEODEX & ODEX ROMS!
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option B below is the next preferred method - but there's manual work involved.
Option B) Follow the complete tutorial below and use -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script to automate Step 5 - the actual smali editing!
There are actually 56 edits performed via script... many more than what is specified in the tutorial!
Note that the script allows you to choose the level of your Launcher's Super Strength! (BulletProof, Die-Hard, or Hard To Kill)
Also be sure to have the necessary smali files in the same folder as the script!
ODEX ROMS - ALL Stock ROMS are ODEX (I think... ) So if you have a services.odex file, press the button!
All but Step 5 is automated on Windows with a batch script courtesy of rexstor .
See [Guide][Batch][Odex Rom only!] To get another 50% v6 Supercharged script for ICS!
So you'd run the batch script, and for the editing, run my Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script in Step 5
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option C) Follow the complete tutorial below without using any Patcher tool.
This is actually pointless to do - there are less edits and it's more work And the laziest people should just do D) below lol
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option D) Use the latest Update 9 RC* and select ICS Service Centre's Automatic Transmission! (OUT OF DATE)
Seemless webapp integration and installation to "Lock home in Memory"
Note: This is currently out of date - latest edits and Maximum MultiTasking Mods are NOT included and it does not work on Jelly Bean!
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option E) ICS OOM Priority Charger webapp. Same effectiveness as D) but done manually (OUT OF DATE)
Latest Update 9 RC* can install and apply permissions via ICS Service Centre's manual mode
Important: The webapp WON'T WORK for ODEX roms! So if you have a services.odex file, you have use a more effective option above
Also won't work on Jelly Bean ROMS!
More Webapp Info
Just go to http://android.mimic.ca with your devices browser and follow instructions!
In case of upload problems: If your Android browser closes while selecting file to upload, use Opera Mini web browser because it lets you select a file from within the app. Just copy services.jar to the sdcard first
CWM zip option is available!
But if you don't get the CWM zip, and instead download the modded services.jar, you can:
A) Do Steps 8 to 10 below! But first In Terminal Emulator, just type su and enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system and enter (Mount system as read/write).
OR...
B) Use the ICS Service Centre's manual mode in V6U9RC*
Help for webapp: Go to http://webchat.freenode.net , channel #v6_supercharger and talk to blk_jack (or me if I'm there)
* All roms (odex & deodex) - to install a patched services.jar/odex, you can use the ICS Service Centre's manual mode in V6U9RC9+ (for Steps 8 and 9 below).
* If you ever have trouble applying permissions to services.jar/odex, just run the ICS Service Centre and permissions gets applied everytime just before returning to the main menu!
3. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
Notes: For decent launcher detection use at least V6U9 RC6.9 or newer and check the bOOM Stick to see if the launcher the desired ADJ value!
.......... - Boot will take a LONG time as it "optimizes all your apps"
.......... - If it doesn't boot (unlikely if you did the edits yourself), try wiping caches (not data)
.......... - If it still doesn't boot, you can always just re-flash your current untouched rom but do have a backup nevertheless.
.......... - If you get FCs, fixing permissions will solve that. (Use the "Fix Emissions" Option in the latest V6 SuperCharger Script! )
That's It!
========================================================
OK I got ICS SuperCharged!!
The problem with SuperCharging ICS is that ICS doesn't read ADJ values from build.prop or local.prop - they are hardcoded into services.jar!
So the script alone can only give you a 50% SuperCharge Level with only the V6 SuperCharger script.
Patching services.jar gives you the other 50% along with a SuperCharged Launcher!
ICS users still have to run the V6 SuperCharger script just like before! Use V6U9 RC6.9 or newer for decent launcher status detection!
Note: Of course, the V6 SuperCharger script is ALL YOU NEED on all previous Android ROMS!
So the mod below is for getting the Launcher at a SuperCharged Priority on ICS!
This is akin to the ADJ entries in build.prop or local.prop on earlier Android ROMS which don't work on ICS.
What gets changed?
I rearranged Priorties on ICS like so:
Code:
System -16 (stock)
Persistent Process -12 (stock)
ForeGround app 0 (stock)
Home Launcher 1 (Die-Hard Launcher) (stock=6)
Perceptible app 2 (stock)
Visible app 3 (stock=1)
Heavyweight app 4 (stock=3)
Previous app 5 (stock=7)
Service 6 (stock=5)
Backup app 7 (stock=4)
Service_b 8 (stock)
Hidden app min 9 (stock)
Hidden app max 15 (stock)
As you can see, there are ALOT more app categories now lol
I also decided to give a new app category a higher priority - Previous Apps.
Users with low ram devices will definitely be pleased with that
I was actually able to load Angry Birds, ran a different app, and went back to Angry Birds and it didn't have to restart.
It's practically unheard of for that game to stay in memory like that on my device
I really don't understand the logic of making Previous apps more killable than some app that you were using awhile ago (ie Service) so I fixed it

This will make it easier [Guide][Tutor]Jar/Apk baksmali smali compiler and decompiler
Important! - Get the MOST RECENT smali/baksmali binaries located here (remove the version number so they are called smali.jar and baksmali.jar)
Click to Verify Java Installation - smali/baksmali requires Java to be installed on your computer.
ODEX ROMS: If you have an odex rom (ie. you have a services.odex file) you have extra work. See this
..................... - Watch for dark red text for odex specific instructions! Some of which were initially found in this services.odex hacking guide.
..................... - Going with the odex guide above, you will also need the dexopt-wrapper utility.
..................... - Download the utility "dexopt-wrapper". (Do a search - you'll find it.)
..................... - Mount system as read/write. Open up Terminal and type: su, enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
..................... - Copy it to /system/bin and apply correct permissions.
..................... - In terminal type: chmod 755 /system/bin/dexopt-wrapper, enter.
OR... You can convert your ODEX ROM into an easily modded deodexed one. Here are a few options to do that:
..................... xdaAutoTool (Windows - the first 3 posts have 3 different tools!)
..................... AutoAPKTool + AutoDeodexTool (Linux port of xdaAutoTool)
..................... Auto Deodex & Zipalign Tool (Windows - looks easy)
..................... Manually Deodex and Odex Back (Windows - geeky)
========================================================
Step 1. So grab the tutorial zip from above and unzip into a folder, say C:\super, along with the smali and baksmali jar files. This is all you need apart from a text editor and a zip program like 7zip or WinRAR.
............ Put services.jar (make sure you have a backup) in C:\super.
............ ODEX ROMS: Put services.jar AND services.odex in C:\super. (Note that services.jar will be very small with only a META-INF folder inside)
Step 2. Open up a dos/command prompt and navigate to the folder by typing cd c:\super
Step 3. Type: java -jar baksmali.jar -x services.jar -o classout (services jar gets decompiled into a classout folder.) Leave the dos/command prompt window open.
............ ODEX ROMS: Copy /system/framework folder(with all the jar+odex files) to c:\super
........................ Type: java -jar baksmali.jar -x -a <api_level> -d framework services.odex -o classout
........................ api_level is a number. See this page. So if you're on froyo, you put -a 8. On gingerbread it's -a 9 or -a 10.
........................ If you get an error: Add the $BOOTCLASSPATH to the above command.
........................ So do this command on your device using terminal emulator OR adb shell (easier): echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
........................ Example: You'll get something like this:
/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar
........................ Remove the paths (/system/framework/) so end up with core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar
........................ Now, your final command becomes:
java -jar baksmali.jar -a ## -x -c :junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar services.odex -o classout
........................ NOTE: This command may FAIL if you don't put the colon (:) after the "-c " and before that list of .jar files.
Step 4. Open explorer and navigate down to c:\super\classout\com\android\server\am folder and find ActivityManagerService.smali
Step 5. Use the -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script to perform the following edits (IT actually does TONS more for a smoother SuperCharge!)
Get it from THIS THREAD, and run it like my other scripts and be sure to have both ProcessList.smali AND ActivityManagerService.smali in the same folder as the patcher script! (Erm.... put them on your phone, run the Power Tools script, then copy the new smali files back to where you found them!)
Note that the Jelly ISCream Mod will read the previous ADJ values from ProcessList.smali, searches for those ADJs and replaces them with SuperCharged ones in BOTH smali files!
Then go to Step 6
If you don't wanna go the easy way... click the button!
Open ActivityManagerService.smali in notepad or notepad++ and make following smali edits.
a. Note that the "====" are breaks and NOT part of the smali file
b. Underlined is the search term so you can find the location in the file easily.
... - The search term includes the "quotes" and is CaSe SEnsiTive (ie. select Match Case in search) so you should actually only get 1 hit for all but 1 search.
... - There are 5 hits for "backup" with quotes but just scroll down from the previous edit you'll find it (heh. the previous edit is for "previous" lol)
c. Bold is the edit (note that each edited line begins with "const/4 v10, " Update: New roms now have "const/4 v11, " or "const/4 v14, " instead)
d. (Italized) is the ORIGINAL value
So, for example, the first edit for "visible" apps:
const/4 v10, 0x3 (0x1)
Originally, it looks like: const/4 v10, 0x1
After edit, it looks like: const/4 v10, 0x3

Save it.
Step 6. Go back to the dos/command prompt and type: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex (this creates classes.dex)
............ ODEX ROMS: Type the same command as above.
Step 7. Open up services.jar with 7zip or WinRAR (you will see a classes.dex file inside) and drag the newly created classes.dex into the window to refresh services.jar with the new classes.dex
............ Mount system as read/write. Open up terminal and type: su, enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
............ ODEX ROMS: Do the above steps (though there won't be an existing classes.dex - just add it anyway) and then do the following, edited segment from the services.odex hacking guide:
Copy the new services.jar file into the root of your phone's sd card.
software_samurai said:
Create a new services.odex file from the new services.jar file:
In terminal, type: cd /sdcard, enter, dexopt-wrapper services.jar services.odex $BOOTCLASSPATH, enter.
Here's the "special sauce": copy over the "signature" from the current .odex file into the new .odex file. do NOT continue until this command succeeds!
Hint: the file size of the new services.odex file should not change!
In terminal, type: busybox dd if=/system/framework/services.odex of=/sdcard/services.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now copy /sdcard/services.odex to /system/framework and overwrite the original (backed up, yes?) services.odex
Go to Step 9
Step 8. Copy the new services.jar into your /system/framework folder.
............ ODEX ROMS: SKIP this step!
Step 9. a. In terminal type: cd /system/framework, enter, chown 0.0 services.jar, enter, chmod 644 services.jar, enter
................ ODEX ROMS: In terminal do: cd /system/framework, enter, chown 0.0 services.odex, enter, chmod 644 services.odex, enter
............ b. OR... you can just put it into a copy of your rom and flash that!
Step 10. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
========================================================
It was a pain in the ass to find because the settings that get applied actually ignore any setting that is given.
It's all over-ridden by a calculated routine
So I just turned the tables to have it over-ride settings to be SuperCharged
Remember that you will still need to run V6 SuperCharger to get your minfrees and grouping fix/adj limits in place.

[Script] V6 SuperCharger! HTK & BulletProof Launchers! The ONLY Android MEMORY FIXER!
So here's how it all started... don't worry if you don't understand it... the script does everything!
So... recently I came across/figured out some pretty neat stuff to make my Milestone run incredibly well.
Fast, Stable, and Smooth. FSS... heh... my Milestone used to make me say FFS too often... lol
In Part 2, you will find a way to make your launcher bulletproof!
What's that mean? No more screen redraws! AT ALL - I'm pretty sure
History Part 1. How To Control Android's Memory Manager via minfree
This revolves around Android's built-in memory manager/task killer.
I had been using Auto Memory Manager (AMM) with great results. AutoKiller Memory Optimizer (AKMO) had worked just as well.
These are NOT taskillers! (And neither is my SuperCharger )
They tweak Android's native memory management system by editing /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
This is a "dynamic" file that gets created on boot.
There is an in-depth thread that you can read right here on XDA: How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller
Android puts each running app into 1 of 6 Out Of Memory (OOM) groups based on their priority.
FOREGROUND_APP, VISIBLE_APP, SECONDARY_SERVER, HIDDEN_APP, CONTENT_PROVIDER, and EMPTY_APP.
Additional Info: You can find each app's priority and OOM.
....................... In AMM, Press Menu > Running Processes > Group by OOM grouping.
....................... Expand each group and see what apps are included and each app's priority level. (Higher numbers get killed first!)
....................... If you tap on an app, you can get additional info. Tip: Check and see what's included with android.process.acore
The default minfree values ("kill thresholds") for each OOM group are, as far as I can tell: 6, 8, 16, 20, 22 and 24 mb. (CyanogenMod 6.1.2)
This means that: when free memory lowers to 24 mb, EMPTY_APPS get killed; at 22 mb free ram, CONTENT_PROVIDER apps get killed; and so on...
Now, because the Milestone has only 256 mb of memory, I found these numbers too low, especially the 3rd one.
Basically, with those settings, you will usually be sitting with only 20 - 25 mb of ram.
Possibly less. Basically, it's the 3rd number (16) + 5. That's your free memory.
And my phone just chokes when it has that little ram available. Lag, home screen redrawing, the launcher getting killed.... ugh....
After extensive fiddling around, I've come to the conclusion that setting the third slot to about 25mb works great.
No home screen redraws while not being too aggressive on secondary/background apps while having about 30-35mb free all the time
BTW, free ram is not wasted. Android will use that memory to cache the file system and this speeds things up. See this informative post.
My other key settings were:
VM Heap Size = 48 mb.
Home Locked in Memory (not anymore due to my OOM Grouping Fix)
JIT enabled - You can try it on or off and decide what you like better (JIT uses some extra memory but makes the CPU more efficient)
Overclocked to [email protected] vsel.
About VM Heap size. 40 mb should be enough.
Actually, to prevent your launcher from splitting into 2 virtual machines, you should make it at around 40 mb.
I'm no expert about it, but that is the experience of others. (I've never tried it at 32 mb or below )
History Part 2. How To Control Your Launcher Redraws by Making It Bulletproof!
Most of you know about CM's "Lock Home In Memory" setting and how we would still get screen redraws after enabling it.
My suggested AMM settings above should be enough prevent that. You should hardly ever get screen redraws anymore.
But some people were still getting them.
I tried increasing the appropriate priority (for android.process.acore - which includes com.android.launcher) in AMM but the setting wouldn't "stick"
Android would revert it back to where it was - in the Visible App group with a priority of 1.
I had seen how foreground apps had a priority of 0 or -12 or -16 and I came up with a permanent solution - "The Bulletproof Launcher"
Here's how you can have a Bulletproof Launcher!
The line "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" in /data/local.prop also keeps home in memory - it has the same effect as CM's "Lock Home In Memory".
So in light of what I was seeing in AMM, I have changed it to 0 so it now reads:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0
(blank line)
Note: If there isn't a blank line at the end, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ entry gets deleted.
If you do this and reboot, AMM may still show that android.process.acore (or whereever your launcher is) with a priority of 1
If that's the case, disabled CM's setting to lock home in memory.
Now, if you go back to AMM, you should see that android.process.acore is now a foreground app with a priority of 0... BOOYA!
Notes: Obviously, CM's "Lock Home In Memory" overrides the setting in local.prop.
.......... CM will set the priority back to 1 after local.prop gives a priority of 0.
.......... That's why CM's setting has to be disabled - so that the local.prop setting will "stick"
.......... Gaming Tip - You can use CM's lock home in memory as a "Safety Lock" - to toggle your launcher from Bulletproof (0) to Killable (1)
............................. If having problems with a game, put the "Safety Lock" on so the launcher is "killable" so android can free up some extra ram.
Note that BulletProofing is NO LONGER RECOMMENDED! The Hard To Kill Launcher is the PERFECT SOLUTION!
History Part 3. Blah Blah Blah...
Interesting Notes: I had installed the Telus Froyo Update yesterday (03/25/11) and still have it installed.
.......................... Only now did I think to look at the minfree values
.......................... 8, 12, 24, 28, 32, 32 <--- Telus Froyo. I'm a little shocked by the 3rd slot, 24mb?!
.......................... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30 <----- See, I'm not crazy! Telus Froyo values are very similar to my Balanced Settings
.......................... In comparison, my Balanced script keeps your foreground apps alive longer, same free ram & more friendly to background apps!
.......................... For completeness:
.......................... 6, 8, 16, 20, 22, 24 <---- CM6 (Froyo)
.......................... 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 <---- CM7 (Gingerbread)
.......................... 8, 12, 16, 24, 28, 32 <--- Google's Gingbread values, according to this.
Moved from OP (old Change Log)
UPDATED July 21, 2011: - Update 8

UPDATED July 18, 2011: - Update 7
Tweaked Status Checker. Update 6 sometimes gave wrong launcher status
UPDATED July 16, 2011: - Update 6
Added Second MegaRAM device setting.
Added installation to system option - for easy use with Terminal Emulator!

Improved status checker. It can sometimes determine if home is locked in memory! If not, it asks you if it is.
Saves SuperCharger settings! - They are displayed on the main menu if they exist.
Saves Cust-OOM settings! - Cust-OOM settings get added to the menu!
Smart Cust-OOMizer - Just try it
Improved the code some more. It's smarter than ever
Improved messages to user. Clearer instructions and errors are given!

Nice tips, zeppelin. The settings have much improved the performance of my Milestone, but I am still getting occasional redraws with LPP. Free RAM is usually between 38MB and 45MB, using VM Heap of 40M and your 6,10,24,40,50,60 settings for AMM.
EDIT: Also, when I add the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1 line to the /data/local.prop file, after a reboot that line has disappeared from the file.

For that, make sure you have a empty line at the end of the file (hit enter after entering the home_app line). This would make it not go away after reboot.

How do I check what ade the currently minfree values on the system? I supose you don't have to reboot for the settings to go into effect, right?

Thanks for the empty line tip. I forgot about that
AMM displays your current values whenever you run it.
EDIT: NO It does NOT... oops AKMO does though.
I was under the impression that a reboot is required. I'll look into that further.
Let me know how it works for you.
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
Edit: The local.prop edit requires reboot.
........AMM (or AKMO) and the disabling CM's lock home in memory setting do not require a reboot. So you can tweak AMM's settings on the fly!
You can check minfree using gscript running with root priviledge and the following command
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
this shows you the values in pages, I believe it are 4Kbytes pages.
nice.
Yes minfree's values are in pages and 1 page = 4kbytes.
24mb would show as 6144.
ie. 6144*4/1024=24

Yes see afadel's post after yours regarding the local.prop edit.
Hit enter so that you have an empty line at the end.
You're still getting redraws because the "bulletproof launcher" entry got deleted. Damn kryptonite!
I edited the OP accordingly.
Also, after you get the local.prop file working properly, see how much free ram you have at that time.
I'm thinking that you currently have 45mb free because the launcher is still getting killed.
So, if it doesn't get killed, it should be more like 30-35 mb free.
Now if you aren't getting redraws (launcher is kept alive) and your ram is still 40-45mb free, you can probably lower the 3rd value from 24 to 20.
Hello, nice tips
In my MM I had to change some the cache, using 40m is too much because phone is slowly, I notice it have low memory than using the standard memory configuration (28m in APAC) but I changed to 24m as I had in 2.1u1.
In normal use I have now 32MB free but setting to aggresive mode it goes to 40MB free.
The problem using aggresive mode is that if you are looking into maps and change to make some sum (i.e. using realcalc) you lost maps ubication, or if you return to maps you lost the state of other programs, so kernel kill the program.
Regards,
Claudio.

Are you referring to VM Heap size?
I'm pretty sure now that VM heap size shouldn't really affect free ram.
But if it's too big, small apps will lag and if it's too small, large apps will lag.
I recommended 40mb because it would prevent most launchers from splitting into 2 virtual machines.

The problem using aggresive mode is that if you are looking into maps and change to make some sum (i.e. using realcalc) you lost maps ubication, or if you return to maps you lost the state of other programs, so kernel kill the program.

I guess here you are referring to AMM's aggressive settings?
The second number in AMM's aggressive settings is 12, which would make visible apps more likely to get killed than the 10 mb I suggested.
Come to think of it, perhaps I will test with that set to the default 8 mb ie. 6, 8, 24, 40, 50, 60
Im currently running 6,8,16,40,50,60. Is that crazy? XD
Btw one question, I posted in cm7 thread but no answer . Can I change this values without using AMM(uninstalled)? I mean, change it from Root Explorer, and settings would be the same after rebooting?
lol no you're not crazy.
Like I said, I may tinker a little more with my settings - 6, 8, 24, 40, 50, 60 is not that different from yours.
I was testing 6, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60 this afternoon but I didn't like it too much.
Sorry, I hadn't visited the the CM7 thread in a few hours.
I usually save that one till last because it always has some good reading lol.
But yes, you can edit the same file that gets edited by AOR's memory manager:
/system/etc/init.d/99complete
Be sure to get the permissions right.
I cheat and use SuperManager
Edit: Permissions for 99complete = chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99complete

And right permissions are? Im newbie with them xD.
With 16 I don't get FCs in apps I'm using. I did this because I read a tutorial for AMM, and realized that these numbers (6,8 etc) are RAM, and when system reaches 16mb, it will FC the secondary server (i guess that is, lets say game or something? Am I wrong?)
Edit: wtf I don't have a 99complete .
99complete for your settings of: 6,8,16,40,50,60
Code:
#/sbin/sh
echo "1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,15360" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
I attached it as well - just remove the .txt extension.
Permissions are the same as 10overclock ie.
Edit: The hard core way ---> chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99complete
zeppelinrox said:
Are you referring to VM Heap size?
I'm pretty sure now that VM heap size shouldn't really affect free ram.
But if it's too big, small apps will lag and if it's too small, large apps will lag.
I recommended 40mb because it would prevent most launchers from splitting into 2 virtual machines.
Click to expand...

ok, I understand the point now. I checked now and I saw 2 LauncherPro running, so I will make some tests to try to put them in only one VM.
Regards.
And what's the advantage of having the app running in one process only?

After reading this page, I was under the impression that it's less efficient and that memory is wasted.
aph said:
In my testing ADW Ex needs at least 38mb to run totally smoothly so I set mine to 40 mb. Interesting that it splits itself into 2 separate processes to get around the heap size issue but still runs into it.

If the two processes are running in the same virtual machine they should share the same memory space though. I mean, two different applications will run in different VMs, however even if one application requests to create a second process they will still be in the same VM.
I may be wrong, but this was my understanding behind it.

aph said:
System Panel only shows 1 of the 2, the one that uses less memory. Out of its consumption of 30mb only 10mb is shared, presumably with the one that uses 38mb that OS Monitor shows.
I've seen the larger process go up to 39mb after watching it a bit more. Also, Facebook will take as much as it can get, easily 50mb+.

Hey everyone!!
First and foremost, you have to understand no one is responsible for what happens to your device. No one is responsible for exploding your device and no one is responsible if you cannot get WiFi or your alarm does not go off. You take full responsibility for the well being of your device to keep it nourish with wonderful Roms, Themes, Mods and of course, to keep it functioning as you wish for it to be.
This thread will be updated on regular basis. Mostly, on a weekly basis. If you see a thread you feel should be added here (Even from other variants that works with OUR phone), Please send me a quick PM HERE Or mention me with @mgbotoe and I will come running
Special "Thank you" to @scloutkst for looking out for good guides/mods for entry. Real help to everyone coming in!

ANDROID TERMINOLOGYThanks to @benjamingwynn with his great quick DefinitionsADB - "Android Debug Bridge" a system that can be accessed using a computer where you can manage the device from. You need the Android SDK to use it.
AOSP - "Android open source project" a project by Google Inc. to give android to developers and manufactures for free.
APK - "Android Package" an Android application
Bloatware - Software or 'apps' that you don't need, but come preinstalled to a device's /system partition, meaning that you cannot remove them unless the device has been rooted. Usually, these are apps are sponsored by a company and included by a carrier for profit
CDMA/GSM - A type of network communication between phones and carriers. GSM phones normally are included with SIM Cards that authorize them onto the network. CDMA have this authorization built in and do not need a sim card.
Custom recovery - A modified version of stock recoveries that allow you to do more things in the recovery mode.
Cyanogenmod (CM) - A free open-source project based on the AOSP. It is a modded version of the Android firmware
Dalvik-Cache - Holds all of the pre-compiled .dex files created from installed apps. These files are static and do not change unless the app is updated.
Deodexed - Where ODEX files are moved into the actual applications modded) version of the Android firmware.
Developer - A man or woman who has created (developed) software.
Firmware - a piece of software to make hardware function correctly. This can refer to Radio Firmware, but is normally used as another name for ROM.
Governor - A system embedded into the kernel to automatically change the current working CPU frequency depending on the workload. It would only go up to what it is overclocked (or underclocked) to, this is called the maximum frequency. It would not drop below the minimum frequency.
KANG - The process of creating a code based of someone else's code.
Kernel - An important part of all operating systems that handles the CPU and other vital components. A modded kernel may be used for overclocking.
Logcat - A logging system built into the ADB
Mod - A modification to a part of the phones software. It is also POSSIBLE to mod the phones hardware but is not recommended.
OTA - "Over the air" a term used to indicate software that was sent to phones directly through the internet to their phones.
Open-source - (not to be confussed with free) A peice of software that is free to edit, use, distribute and share with no charge.
Overclock - To exceed the default maximum CPU speed. This could make a phone more powerful but may cause damage. Although no damaged has been reported so far it could still drain battery life.
Radio Firmware - A type of software that allows correct communication with the radio and the operating system. A newer firmware would normally improve battery life and call quality. The radio firmware only applies to the CDMA/GSM radio.
Radio - (not to be confused with Radio Firmware) A piece of hardware that allows communication. There are 3 main radios in your phone. Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM/CDMA.
ROM -
1. A modified version of the Android operating system operating system.
2. Read Only Memory, a place where information is stored and can not be destroyed, modified or written to.
Stock - An unchanged version of something. Example: I just flashed stock sense.
Underclock - To change your phones maximum frequency to LOWER than the default to attempt to extend the phones lifespan and battery.
WIP - "Work In Progress"
Zipalligned - An archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
INTL - International
Odex - Files that are collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
Recovery Mode - A special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes

I see all the files & mods are T-Mobile variant. Anything for AT&T?
Nevermind. As usual AT&T has locked the bootloader
@blue5055 if you are interested in unlocking your bootloader, you can try the tmobile tutorial one. I can tell you this, I do not think it is unlocked so it wont do anything. The reasons most of the mods are for tmobile is cause they require root...and since tmobile is the only one with root at the moment, the mods are labeled as such. If ATT acquire root than I will add. But if anything not labeled for tmobile it will work for you [which will be all non root at this point].
I am only collecting what is around the forum, sadly I am not the one making the mods and files.
Subscribed. Thanks.
Update:
Added Unbrick section
Updated Mods section along with guides

And thank you @Kilokk
Just wanted to post a heads up, and maybe it can be added to the op, but flashing the xposed Uninstaller zip file will hard brick your device. It happened to mine and luckily I was able to get it replaced. But I was unable to even boot to fastboot or download mode.
I was just curious if there is a step by step on how to root this device. I'm coming back to an LG device so any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

root method
There isn't a link on the root section, just a link to the root developers profile. I actually need INSTRUCTIONS not needing to know who's responsible for initially rooting the device.

The link is for the TWRP thread. It will show you how to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then install SuperSU thereby giving you root... and this is for T-Mobile only at this time as far as i know
It's what I followed to get root
edit: there is a separate link (same post) for unlocking bootloader... that needs to be done first, then do the TWRP link to install recovery and SuperSU

There is a look towards rooting the tmobile v10, under where it states root. The confusion was I forgot to change TWRP to ROOT...it is there now.
Hi,
This is a list (incomplete) of all the ROMs, mods, hacks, guides, etc. available for the Fire HD 8 (2017).
This was a root progress discussion thread, and I think there's too much valuable information here to just let it get buried. So, following @Rortiz2's suggestion this thread was transformed to a master thread with the aim of providing a complete guide for anyone wanting to mod their tablet.

Specifications:
SoC: Mediatek MT8163
CPU: Cortex-A53 (Quad Core 4x1.3Ghz)
GPU: Mali 720
RAM: 1.5GB
Android: 5.1 (FireOS 5.x.x.x)
Storage: 16/32GB
Includes a MicroSD slot
Battery: 3210mAh
Display: 8"
Front Camera: 2MP
Rear Camera: 2MP
The italicized text below are my comments/clarifications.
The root method was patched in 5.6.4.0 (some versions of 5.6.4.0 still work so you could try) It is advisable to disable OTA updates or unlock the bootloader immediately. It is still possible to unlock by a different method, check the bootloader unlocking thread.
Bootloader Unlock and TWRP:
[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire HD 8 2017 (douglas)
This is an excellent and complete guide which has everything you need for this. Requires Linux, so you'll have to either install it as dual-boot or use a live system if you are not using it already. You don't need to downgrade if you are on 5.6.4.0.
Rooting:
You can flash Magisk using TWRP after bootloader unlock. Using Magisk is recommended because SuperSU is no longer supported, and Magisk has modules, Magisk Hide, and the root prompt is working (In SuperSU it's not working so you have to always grant root permissions which is a major security loophole)
Rapid Temporary Root for HD 8 & HD 10
This is the first software root method discovered for this tablet and is a really easy and quick method of getting a root shell, and the link has a complete guide on it. Refer here for installing SuperSU for permanent root, and here for an automated script for Windows.
[ROOT] Hardmod Root Your Amazon Fire HD 8 (7th Gen)
This is first root method ever discovered for this tablet and is a hardware root. This link has a complete step-by-step guide, assuming you have some soldering experience.
ROMs:
[ROM][unlocked]Lineage-12.1 for Amazon Fire HD8 2017 (douglas)
The first (and currently only) ROM for this device and it works great!
Miscellaneous:
Amazon Fire Toolbox, I have never tried this but it looks awesome!
Without root:
Removing accounts and viewing Usage Access settings which are hidden.
Debloating guide without root
With root:
A debloating guide made for HD 10, but works fine on the HD 8.
You can install apps as system apps just as on any other device, and you can use the app Link2SD for converting user apps to system apps. Refer to this StackExchange post for a guide on how to install apps as system.
Flashing GApps works well with TWRP, but the 16GB version doesn't have enough space in the system for even the pico version. Probably using pm uninstall on some system apps would work.
General Tips:
To return to stock or recover from a soft brick:
(Don't use this if you have already unlocked your bootloader: if you want just stock FireOS flash it through TWRP, and if complete stock follow the guide in the unlock thread)
(This assumes that you have ADB installed, I would not advise you on how here, there are numerous guides waiting for a Google search. This will erase your data.)
Download your current FireOS or a later firmware version. You can find the latest over at Amazon's website.
Boot to the recovery mode of your tablet, and use the volume and power buttons to select "Apply Update via ADB".
Now connect the tablet to a PC with a USB cabke, open a command prompt or shell on the directory where you downloaded the firmware BIN, enter the command adb sideload X.bin (replace X with the name of the BIN) and wait until finished (DON'T disconnect your device from the PC)
Now select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and "Yes" to wipe data (you can skip doing this if you want your data, but note that the tablet may bootloop or complain about corrupted data)
Select "Reboot system now"
The firmware BINs are just renamed ZIP files: you can rename it from .bin to .zip and treat it as such.
Amazon employs an anti-rollback mechanism which could permanently brick your device if you flash an older version through adb sideload. If you really want an older FireOS, you can rename .bin to .zip and flash them through TWRP after unlocking.
The stock launcher AppID is com.amazon.firelauncher, the stock keyboard is com.amazon.redstone, and the OTA update apps are com.amazon.device.software.ota and com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota.
Again, this list is incomplete, so please suggest any additions in the comments! (don't hesitate to suggest your own work-the target of this thread to be a comprehensive and complete guide on everything about this tablet)
Good luck modding this tablet!
Thread before changing to a master thread (for historical purposes )
NOW WE HAVE AN UNLOCKING METHOD WITH TWRP! THE CONTENT BELOW IS OUTDATED.
Hi,
Now, I'm sick of Amazon's bloat slowing my tablet, and the frustration of not being able to use root apps. Fire HD 10 got rooted, but HD 8 and HD 7 are still in dark. HD 7 users can at least downgrade their devices and hope for a root exploit, but HD 8 users can't. If anyone else wanting to root this tablet and make it super fast, get rid of Fire Launcher, use Xposed, remove bloat, etc., let's collaborate with this!
LATEST RELEASE - Fire OS 5.3.6.4/Fire OS 5.6.3.4
SECURITY PATCH - ???
KERNEL VERSION - 3.18.19
List of possible software root methods:
1.) eMMC overwriting
Thanks to the hardware root method, we have a full eMMC dump so using the loophole in the flash unlock process which causes overwriting partitions next to it, we could overwrite on all the way, flashing original things, to the system partition and then flash a modified system partition.
Additions to the list are welcome!
List of possible exploits
Additions to list are welcome!
1.)CVE-2017-8890
Status: Confirmed possible.
Description: As I think, this is the most exploitable currently. Running the PoC results in 'somewhat unnatural' Use-After-Free s but the PoC fails to orient them to escalate privileges.
Cons: This exploit is based on obsolete IPv4 sockets, unlike it's cousin CVE-2017-9077, which is based on IPv6, but rather the same exploitation as this. That 'may' make this harder to exploit, but of course there's no evidence.
I, really only added this to cons because you should have a con.
2.)CVE-2017-15868
Status: Unsure
Description: NP Hardass said that this vulnerability is present on the source,I haven't explored it yet.
Cons: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you tried these exploits, please notify me in below and I'll update the status. UPDATE: No point on keeping on trying these kernel exploits as no one (please correct me) who knows to write exploits in C comes here anymore. If someone wants to try though I will start maintaining this list again. Come on, let's collaborate on this!!! :laugh:
Thanks!
Download the eMMC dump from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282721
PS: You can download original kernel sources from Amazon, just search for it.

LATEST RELEASE - Fire OS 5.6.0.1
SECURITY PATCH - 2017/08/01
KERNEL VERSION - 3.18.19*
*a quite old release it is.
List of possible exploits
Additions to list are welcome!
1.)CVE-2017-12762
Status: Unsure
Description: A super likely-to-work great exploit. If you want you can go look at the kernel source (link included below the thread) 3.18.19 for proof, it starts in line 2640. Looks like a stack buffer overflow.
Cons: ASLR may be an absolute game killer in this case. And some skill is required to exploit, very less-known around the internet. And Amazon may have removed the ISDN support up from the roots of kernel, because it's VERY deprecated.
2.)CVE-2017-16939
Status: Unsure
Description: A nice attack vector. A PoC is available in SecuriTeam blogs, which triggers use-after-free. I tried contacting them for some help, but they almost instantly replied that they don't provide support for their reported vulnerabilities. Sad.
Cons: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3.)CVE-2017-15868
Status: Unsure
4.)CVE-2017-10661
Status: Unsure
5.)CVE-2017-7541
Status: Unsure
6.)CVE-2017-6074
Status: Unsure
If you tried these exploits, please notify me in below and I'll update the status. Come on, let's collaborate on this!!! :laugh:
Thanks!
I added the link to the vulnerable code, in case anyone was wondering.
I'm glad to see this thread. Since recently rediscovering the potential of an old Fire 6 and rooting it, removing the bloat and Googlizing it, I wanted to get something a little bigger. I just got my 7th gen HD 8 in the mail yesterday and was devastated to see it was 5.4.0.1. I've blocked OTA, deleted the update it had downloaded, installed Google Play et al., and used NoRoot Data Firewall to block all Amazon apps. Unfortunately, I do not have the expertise to contribute much toward an effort to root this device but would like to help in any way. I appreciate seeing others are out there working on it.
if i knew how to develop the exploits i would honestly try these
Thank you so much for making this thread but I hope I never have to come back here and help, but if i get some extra time in the future I do plan on running all my binaries + servers on the tablet as well. Not to mention just looking at that version number made me want to vomit.

Hello rawfullz!
Try Greenify. You can use a workaround to grant it Usage Access.
1) Download Activity Launcher and Greenify from Play Store.
2) Launch Activity Launcher.
3) Notice the "Recent" text in the task-bar, press it, and select "All" from the drop-down list.
4) Scroll all the way below until you find "Settings", and press it.
5) Again, scroll below until you find "Apps with usage access", and press it.
6) The hidden "Apps with usage access" menu will pop up.
7) Grant Greenify usage access there. (You can turn off usage access for all Amazon apps if you want, to increase performance but it's recommended to leave out "Storage Management" intact, just in case.)
8) Launch Greenify, and continue with the setup.
9) :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
If you ever want to grant any other app Usage Access, do this procedure, but, remember that "Activity Launcher" is kind of dangerous, if you just launch random activities. I learned that the hard way.

Thank you for making this thread, im looking forward to this become real.

Hello!
Yes, we definitely can get the firmware. But there are some troubles,
1. Amazon devices are not very well known among the community.
2. Devs don't want to spend their time on our devices, even if we root this thing, no custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader.
3. Amazon didn't leave any loopholes on their OS, they are too clever.
And, I don't think that Amazon will open source their firmware until they checked throughly for any exploits.
We'll have to find exploits the rough way. :crying:
Hey, what about the Janus vulnerability? If some dev is reading this, please help us, because it doesn't require the device.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM.
Take a look at the BT stack with BlueBorne.

Great to see this thread. Hope some devs collaborate and find a way. Can't wait.
Meanwhile, do you guys have any cool mod to try in the tab.
I have installed playstore and adfree iytb YouTube and bunch of usual apps.

Yes, you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM, theoretically, if the ROM is signed by Amazon. But considering custom ROMs, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, Stock Android, is it possible to compile and flash them without an unlocked bootloader? I thought that you need a custom recovery = unlocked bootloader. Thanks!

Great idea, gotta try this! Thanks!
EDIT: Not very confident though. Anyway, likely to work because the security patch of HD 8 is in August.

Ask @ggow how he does it. But you don't need a unlocked bootloader. With root, FlashFire helps to get by the bootloader.

Now you can download the batch file from the link in the first post, sorry again
Sorry if I was a bit - well - a bit too me. I have just stumbled into these batexes maybe too many times. All sort of "kitchens" (what the heck, isn't there still a better word, really) use them, ASSAYYED, TOAD (open source? okay, maybe so***), Uppercut (several batexes inside each other, just plain weird..).
Maybe they have their use but I haven't figured it out yet really.
Great, now it's much smaller too... :good:
(*** the bat files can usually found from the temp folder when one runs these exes)

the problem is that you dont have adb set as environment variable, follow this link to set it https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/.

At the moment, the method of changing the ESN number is non-working!
Work on the problem of non-certified devices continues, new versions may appear in the future.
Spoiler: Old modifications
Spoiler: Netflix 8.1.2 build 3844 - Modification instructions
Requirements:
-Any uncertified device by Netflix
Changes:
-You can insert any ESN number
-Google verification disabled
What works:
-HD
-Audio 5.1
-HDR
Tested on MI TV 4A/4S RU Edition
1. Download and unzip the archive BatchApkTool.zip (BatchApkTool is already configured and has a batchapktool.ini settings file!)
The unpacked folder(_INPUT_APK) already contains the apk mod, so you don't need to download it in advance!
2. Run BatchApkTool.exe
- Enter the command in numbers: 04
(This command decompiles the necessary part of the APK)
-Wait for the decompilation to finish, but don't close this app!
3. Go to the directory: _INPUT_APK\com.netflix.ninja_8.1.2_build_3844_mod\smali\o\
and find the file setShowsDialog. smali
- Open the setShowsDialog.smali file and find the lines 621 and 632:
- Change the ESN number "NFANDROID1-PRV-T-L3-SDMC=MBX4K=RANGER-9908-" to "YOUR ESN NUMBER" and save file!
4. In the BatchApkTool app, enter the command: 05
- Wait for the compilation to finish!
5. Take the compiled APK with your ESN number in the _OUT_APK folder.
6. Install it on your device and use it!
Spoiler: Netflix 6.1.3 build 2482 - Modification instructions
Requirements:
-Any uncertified device by Netflix
-Security Level: Widevine L1
-Doesn't work if the level is Widevine L3
Changes:
-You can insert any ESN number
-Disable app signature verification
What works:
-HD and UHD(4K)
-Audio 5.1
-HDR
-Netflix Recommendations on Home Screen (You need to update the Android TV Home app)
Tested on MI TV 4A/4S RU Edition
Modification instructions:
1. Download original apk: com.netflix.ninja_6.1.3_build_2482-2482_minAPI22.apk
2. Decompile the APK file with APKTOOL 2.5.0
3. Find out your ESN number in any way, such as using Kodi+Netflix plugin, etc.
Example, on my device ESN Number: NFANDROID2-PRV-0-XIAOMMITV-MSSP1-11579-8E7EBE41602D7BFE5FB467845C6F254CAD5677390EFB960CA0D11755BB31CDD5
The ESN number needs to be adjusted, but all this is individual, for me, the working option turned out to be this: NFANDROID1-PRV-0-XIAOMMITV-MSSP1-11579-
4. Add your device's ESN number to the file BaseEsnProvider.smali:
The file is located in the directory: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\mediaclient\service\configuration\esn\
Spoiler: Find the code in file:
Code:
.method public getEsn()Ljava/lang/String;
.locals 1
.line 310
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/netflix/mediaclient/service/configuration/esn/BaseEsnProvider;->esn:Ljava/lang/String;
return-object v0
.end method
Spoiler: Replace with this code:
Code:
.method public getEsn()Ljava/lang/String;
.locals 2
.line 310
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/netflix/mediaclient/service/configuration/esn/BaseEsnProvider;->esn:Ljava/lang/String;
const-string v0, "YOUR ESN NUMBER"
return-object v0
.end method
Where "YOUR ESN NUMBER", insert your ESN number.
4.1 To remove the optimization error (-14):
Find the file: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\ninja\MainActivity.smali
Comment out line 3723 like this: #invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/app/AlertDialog;->show()V
4.2 This solution to disable PUSH error (-14) on Home Screen ATV:
Find the file: DECOMPILE_APK\smali\com\netflix\mediaclient\service\pushnotification\PushJobServiceUtils$Companion$tryStartService$1.smali
Comment out line 105 like this: #invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/widget/Toast;->show()V
5. Compile the app using APKTOOL 2.5.0.
6. Remove the signature verification using the program: ApkSignatureKiller.zip
Unpack archive, go to the folder and transfer the original apk and recompiled apk. Rename them, for example: orig.apk and mod.apk
Open the file config.txt and make the configuration:
Spoiler: Settings config.txt
Code:
# original file
apk.signed=orig.apk
# recompiled file
apk.src=mod.apk
# output file
apk.out=out.apk
# do not touch the other settings
sign.enable=true
sign.file=test.keystore
sign.password=123456
sign.alias=user
sign.aliasPassword=654321
Run script run.bat and wait for the script to finish working, in the folder you should get a working apk with your ESN number.
What do you need to know if you are having problems with the app?
Good luck watching Netflix!

My ESN number: NFANDROID1-PRV-0-XIAOMMITV-MSSP1-11579 -, works only for me and only for those who have a device like mine. You must adjust your ESN number yourself. You must use a non-full ESN number. Write your ESN number here, I will correct it for you!

Write your ESN. Error 13 is only due to an incorrect ESN number. Also, your device must have the L1 level.

Try this modification of the number:
NFANDROID1-PRV-0-GTV-...
or
NFANDROID1-PRV-GTV-...
For different devices, need to select correct ESN number. There is a different suffix/prefix for different devices, example:
Code:
# Unknown or Phone "PRV-P"
# Tablet? "PRV-T" (should be for tablet) / PRV-T-L3
# Tablet "PRV-C" (should be for Chrome OS devices only)
# Google TV "PRV-B" (Set-Top Box)
# Smart Display "PRV-E"
# Android TV "PRV-" (without letter specified) / PRV-0 or PRV-1 etc
and prefix: NFANDROID1 or NFANDROID2
I was able to get this working . Test patterns showed both 720p and 1080p . Thank you!!!!!

I am sincerely happy for you! You can insert this modified ESN number into the app and use it instead of Kodi!
Tested working.. part of me wonders if Netflix will block this partial ESN, as they have done in the past with similar ESN spoofs.

If the app itself shows 4k next to the name this is actual 4k or is there still some checks to make it 1080p?
Because it shows 4k but the ESN is not mine, it is the one your provided the " NFANDROID1-PRV-0-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx- " so the ESN dont match actually, wont that bring me in lower quality?

As was pointed out to me,. You cannot just use any other devices ESN.. you have to use the one that belongs to your actual device., use the kodi Netflix addon which has a feature in its advanced settings to show your full or partial ESN.
To verify if your APK has worked Netflix has Test videos that will show you your current resolution and frame rate . Just search "test"
Please check your PMs as I have messaged you

Don't worry! Basically, all non-certified devices from Netflix have the same ESN numbers in their device categories, for example, MI TV 4A 32 TVs all have the same ESN number, etc.. I have been using this method for more than 8 months, and my number has not been blacklisted. If they do, I have a way to solve it.

What do you check through? In Kodi or in the Netflix app? If in Kodi, then this is normal and you have 4K, and if in the app, then the test video is incorrect or some do not have it at all. Here you can focus on your router's traffic. And so 4K works great, again, if you purchased a plan with 4K.

Have you read 1 post of this topic? There I indicated that it is not suitable for the L3 level! The modification was made for L1! For those who have the L1 level, everything works perfectly!
People, learn 1 post: - Does not work if the Widevine level is L3. Be careful!
