Best Mod Ever for Speed, Lag, and All-Around Awesomeness - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

First off, I'm not the original creator of this. All credit and endless thanks goes to @zeppelinrox for making this and constantly making it fly a bit higher, stronger, better, and definitely faster.
Also, I'm only posting this because of all the hype I'm seeing lately over the CrossBreeder mod. (Certainly CB is great, but Zep's work is thanked by the originator of CB, and as you'll come to see, is much more extensive and tweakable, hence the name--V6SuperCharger.) Zep's work is amazing and I'm surprised there hasn't been more, if any really, mention of it in our threads. Also, in looking through both the V6 thread and the CB thread, they are compatible--for the most part--and will run concurrently.
Enough talk...again, because of all the amazement over the CrossBreeder mod, I felt it extremely necessary to share Zep's V6SuperCharger script. See for yourselves, and please post responses about your experiences and what not. (Just don't bash the meticulous work of either developer, please.)

In addition to the above link for the V6SuperCharger script, you're gonna need to modify your services.jar file. This is necessary for completely supercharging your launcher, for getting the OOM values to stick, and therefore allow you to be %100 V6Supercharged. @zepplinrox has a seperate thread for this (in Android Development forum). The tool is a .zip file, which you run from your computer with the device connected via USB. It contains what you'll need to have the services.jar patch process fully automated.

I have, and even ran the ultimatic services.jar script to patch the launcher, in order to get it to 100% supercharged...as the script states, made the phone screaming fast.

Zeppelin's OP posts are scary

i have no idea what that is but i wish I hadn't run it on my phone

I'm running it with SHOshock ROM and KT's kernal, using "1000HP" mode that was recommended, everything all around is quicker, snappier, seems completely stable. Keep in mind I'm a noob, I just followed the instructions on his page and read everything that was happening, and choose the proper settings.

Actually, if you let the cust-oomizer run (option 10), it will boost the values even higher, since our device had 1800 free RAM, and not just 1000. Check it out and let it apply those customized values. You'll be Super-custom-charged!

Those look good to me. The ones that say "no" are just for pseudo-cleanup. You can run them as needed. Personally, after I've setup everything, I run option #18 (vacuum) and it keeps things snappy. Other than that, if you're 100% supercharged, enjoy the speed, sir!
:good:
Also, thanks for actually thanking a post! In our forums, I see so many people reply or respond saying thanks, but they don't really thank the post--so kudos to you for that, and I hope you do that to all posts you find helpful (not just mine).

I am going out on a limb here, no bashing required
I am going to try this, but the hardware on the G3 is completely different here, should this get a complete overhaul for the G4? Just a question.
I could be, and I'm probably wrong here.

Zep recently stated he's woking on a bit of a newer version, but firmly maintains that his script is for ALL Android devices (regardless of how new). The only thing I've noticed that really tunes this specifically for our device is to run the Cust-OOMizer values, as they boost much higher than the 1000+ option.
It's definitely worth it on our device; you'll see. Remember, the script adjusts and customizes automatically to the values of the device for which it's run.
Of course, if for any reason you don't like the mod or any part of it, you can completely uninstall it (one of the options) or you can choose to apply this or that or whatever specific aspects/values you'd like--which is just one of the many great qualities of this script.

I've actually been running this script along with CB and they play nicely together! Just to be sure that V6 runs completely after reboots and stays at 100%, in SManager I go to /data and find supercharger.sh and set it to run as root and run at boot. Try it out and see if any specific combos work/feel better for you and share your thoughts here.
Glad you're liking it!

Why not? And if so, just uninstall it completely from within the script itself.

V6 Supercharger on Droid Charge.

If and when I root my Charge, will the V6 Supercharger script work on it? Or is VooDoo lagfix more effective? This is my second device. The first was bought used and previously rooted with Odin. It was screwed up from the beginning. The recovery image was said to be missing and when I attempted to change roms, it bricked. Needless to say, I don't want to make the same mistake twice. If V6 works then I'm all for it. I'll have to riot it the right way too. Super one click seems best. Z4root and the Gingerbreak apk don't work. Tried all possibilities. If you have any info or have a version of something as an apk to root with just let me know. If appreciate responses as a PM preferably, but I can check here too. Thanks.

First of all, wrong section of the forum.
Second of all, I have never heard of V6 Supercharger on any Samsung phones. But do tell us if it works.
I tried it once, it bootlooped my phone. Was probably my fault though, I chose megamemory device.
S1C also doesn't work with the Charge. Have to Odin a rooted ROM.

I did feel everything seems smoother, I'm on voodoo too. apps seem to open a tad quicker.
Anybody still using this and mind posting which settings they chose from the menu? I was considering giving it a try, but wary since I don't see many Charge owners using it.
It's a bit hard to understand since the tutorials are based on the Milestone.

My impression was that it was quite difficult to understand, I read through as much info as I could take in, gave it a shot, everything worked fine, but I didn't personally notice any difference, so I disabled it. I feel like the phone is already pretty darn fast using voodoo, I don't really get any lag, at least nothing that seems unreasonable. If someone else who has a better understanding of how the V6 supercharge works, and optimizes the settings for the charge, I might give it a shot again, but that would require someone thinking there was a problem to fix, and I don't think there is one.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I have just seen it now and then in people's signature here and there on this forum, so I thought I would ask.
I'm interested in this as well. Running Eclipse (Froyo version) with PBJ OC kernel/Voodoo Lagfix. Wondering whether any or all of Zepp's scripts will work/help on my setup.
I think this app does the same thing as those scripts. You can use this app to tweak androids internal task killer defaults. This is NOT a task killer, but allows you to tweak androids defaults.

No... really? You don't say?
Seriously, I think you didn't bother reading ANY of my OP.
At the top I even mention the difference.
I love it when people speak with confidence about a topic when they have no clue what their talking about.
But thanks for your insight. I learned alot.

You can ask hazard209. He has a Charge as well.
He's made a few posts in the Charge/redraw thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209791
It will work though. The ROM doesn't matter.
It works on all rooted android roms and devices.
Lets get this thread rolling again...maybe we can figure out what issues we are running into while trying to supercharge. I love the script but I do tend to run into problems from time to time while running the script. Anyone who has visited the SC thread knows how massive it is and extremely hard it is to track down possible answers to our problems...

[REWARD] $500+ BOUNTY for a STABLE ROM ICS or 2.3.5

Welcome developers,
This thread is dedicated to you developers who creates and modifies roms for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket.
I am looking for a rom that is stable and will maintain a 2.3.5 base android build that will sustain the HSPA+ ATT APN without getting kicked from ATT or changing back to DUAL MODE/LTE in network settings. This rom MUST have ICS theme WITHOUT battery circle mod. MUST look similar to Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The first developer who can achieve this and create the best rom, not just looks but features and performance will receive the full bounty. So far, we have others willing to contribute to the donation fund. I hope this will empower you to create more roms.
$1000 for ICS
Yesss!! I can see ICS coming soon >
Interesting. Almost sounds like xboarders rom. Although I have never personally flashed it, I have read his OP numerous times.

the 2.3.6 issue with the APN switch to avoid throttling, I didn't have this problem. I was purely unthrottled over the phone APN (throttled over PTA) on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 worked as well as the CM7 rom for 2.3.7

If it gets dev moving further here, then it could be a good idea. Especially if you left it open for others to donate also.

Unfortunately probably not, both HTC and touchwiz apps require there specific frameworks. They are tied to the framework so they won't run without it.

Thanks for that. Ill add that Google wallet to the op. I figured that I would kind of merge this off of that S3 thread since these will pretty much work on every phone anyway.
Ya know, i started development on a custom s3 rom for several weeks and then real life started to get in the way with my wifes medical issues and had to kind of loose interest on it for a bit. I still have everything that I have done so far and hope to start having a little more free time in the next few days to continue with it. :fingers-crossed:

Just about everthing in this thread 'should' work on any single rom except for the touchwiz based apps since they require there specific framework to run. The HTC apps are the same although I havent added any yet that specifically require the HTC framework. Check the op of those threads though and anybody can post if they come across any with other dependencies that I missed. These have all only been tested and installed by me on the T999, the T-mobile galaxy S3.

Thanks! Added to the op

Does anyone else find the GE 4.3 roms just a bit bland?

I've tried and I go back to Omega v9. Are there any other 4.3 type of roms anyone can recommend?

I've been using this one : 4.3 deodex
Its deodexed and zipaligned so it feels just slighty faster then the actual stock 4.3 not to mention he's thrown a few tweaks in for centre clock and 4 way reboot. if you flash the 2 extra files.

Kangabean son! To be honest there are a lot of tw features I miss but that rom is so dam snappy. Zero lag. Once Paul O'Brien makes that dual boot app for the s4 I might consider tw again.

It is a bit bland, but I've gotten used to it. As much fun as it'd be to have all the bells and whistles of Cyanogenmod, PA, AOKP, and others, having a rock solid phone is just priceless. Everything works, and there are very rarely any random inexplicable issues. I use my Nexus 7 2013 for goofing around, so I still have something to be crackflashy with when I get in the mood.

I ran them on other phones, not here yet. But, once flashed they get boring quickly imho. I like the many features TW offers. Also read TiBu not working on 4.3. I'm not sure I can do without that. From a psychological standpoint anyway--
I still will try one at some point after they are a little more polished. Can't resist new roms--
Still on Wicked and waiting to see what evil does with that thread. There is a v6 in works. But, not sure it will appear on XDA. Hope so. I follow him on Twitter--
Usually there's an app comparable to whatever feature you're missing from the carrier version of Android or a mod if your phone is rooted.
Imo it's better that way to pick and choose what you want instead of a big ol block of bloat that you prob. only use 25% of and choke the CPU, memory and battery of your phone.

In my experience odex roms run faster than deodex.

I've never really noticed a difference. I have a feeling it's one of those things that really doesn't make a huge difference on high-end phones.
I've tried to download omega about 10 times and it's times out or just won't install. I've tried a GE3 rom and agree it's to basic for me. The camera and the amount of debloated TW roms keep me quite happy for now. Customizing is the whole point of android and open source.

I'm not impressed with GE edition ,it looks a lot like cyanogenmod 10.1/10.2
I've not been a fan of cyanogenmod since cyanogenmod 7 when I had my LG thrill 4g .sucks to bash cause I know cyanogenmod runs good,just plain.

If everything works is your goal, then 4.2.2 is the best time for you.

I found that the battery life on these GE ROMs aren't that great. That's why I came back to TW, and for the Apps2SD support, as well as TW camera.
I was using the 4.2.2 GE I customized myself, and although it worked really good, I have an issue in at my house where I live on the fringe of LTE coverage and needed to switch it to HSPA only when home. On TW based ROMs you can just use the *#*#4636#*#* and go into Device Information and switch it to "WCDMA Preferred", which works great. Unfortunately that code doesn't work on the GE ROMs. If someone knows how to do get into that menu with a code that works on a GE ROM I would love to know.
So I went back to a MF3 ROM that I customized and debloated myself. It runs really good, but I would much rather be using a GE ROM.
What I like about the GE ROMs is that it is the way Google intended it to be, but I will agree that it can be a bit bland. But being that Android is highly customizable, you can change it to whatever you wish.
If anyone wants to check out my Debloat list for MF3, here is the thread I made.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398845
I was trying to get rid of the majority of the Samsung crap and make it as close to GE as I could and still maintain the TW backbone.
I find Touchwiz to be slow. No matter what ROM I try or how tweaked the tom may be, its always slow. Every time I switch from a GE ROM to w TWrROM, I always find myself switching back to the GE ROM after a few days. You just can't beat the speed!

If you use the updated SuperSu 1.51 zip (I believe 1.51 is the latest) then TiBu works. Used it on 4.3 slim bean yesterday
