[MOD] [TOOL] FSTRIM On Boot Module - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

So the 4.3 Firmware for the International S4 came out today. With android 4.3 google implemented FSTRIM support for eMMC flash storage.
Users are reporting "snappier" performance especially in the launcher. So I put together this FSTRIM package which is flashable in a custom recovery.
Basically this is what it does https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en
BUT this app is semi-defunct and was made for nexus devices/htc devices primarily (used it alot on my old phones).
What it does:
1. FSTRIM's your /system partition upon flashing.
2. Flashes an int.d script and the FSTRIM module (someone compiled this module for me a while ago, so credit goes to them) to your device and runs it on each boot.
3. Makes your device "snappier".

This is not needed on a 4.3 based FW and YMMV.

Wait is this for android 4.2 Roms?

Tnx for this. This has really solve the occasional lag on my gs4. I have tons of app in my phone and this trim down memory usage. This is more noticeable when using browser, app drawer and app manager. Tnx. I tried everything and this was the only one that works.

"Android Tuner" has TRIM functionality
I set a schedule for it to run every 12 hours
***in addition to other maintenance functions
Just an FYI

Any way to see if this actually loaded? Pardon the ignorance, but I can't seem to find what init.d scripts are loading.

A simple way to know is to look at your ram usage with some app. I used temp cpu v2 widget which shows cpu, ram, temp & battery usage. Before applying this mod I could easily see my ram down to 200 and below with tons of apps I have and would experienced lag in app drawer, browser and app manager. but now it is up to 600 and above and no lags what so ever even with multi tasking.

Memory Optimisation Script

This is the best I've come across. MMS app, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Market, Maps and more all at once. Brilliant.
Posting it here as I know this is the busiest place. Move if it causes an issue.
Cheers!
Script and Instructions are at the link below.

Does it do the same thing as Zeppenlinrox's Supercharged scripts?
No, it seems to work better - I had with zeppelin's script about 50MB free ram, now I have 80MB...awesome - my phone works so much better without any performance decrease...
Trying it now. Do you recommend using it with hard to kill launcher setting? Or just return that to normal?
This script changes memfree and VM values although I do not fully understand what the script is doing.
I've been using it for a few days and I see no changes what-so-ever, good nor bad.

Well,i used the script with zeppelinrox' script and it seems they work brilliantly together:20-30mb more ram
I don't see how it clears up RAM without removing applications from it =/ .
Here works pretty well (and it's not a placebo effect)! The phone rurs better... everywhere! )
definately works. just test loading apps and switch between to see which stay open. you'll notice too there should be smoother overall performance, for example when resuming from sleep. ive also asked the guy directly and the lower frequency of android os ram cleanouts mean battery improvements. i find it for some reason better than zepplins.
i use 6.1 and have home and mms locked in mem and this script running. with no script/zepplins id be unable to watch a flash stream, answer a text and keep the flash vid running, with this i can, its great!

it removes certain apps after sleeping when in background i think. things like maps/nav/streams stay open though
Gaming wise this script fails, cut the rope hangs and is so laggy but on normal cronos gingerbrad its good.
Apart from that this script is amazing! Get 80mb free with 2 apps running (and keyboard and services!)
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
In overall it gives snappier performance on my stone with CGMM ROM.
I would like to try this script with MIUI 1.7.1. I flashed MIUI 1.7.1 before and got 4 reboots within an hour with all the apps sit inside the ext2 partition that cost 60Mb+ RAM. I'm not hoping multi-tasking on MIUI with this script. It will be already good enough if this script can help to run those 60Mb+ RAM background services without reboot on MIUI.
applied the script on FroyoMOD.No changes.

Apart from the aggressive minfree/lowmemory killer setting, they are all sysctl tweaks.
You can get those plus more in AOR's kernel tuning menu item.
In V8 SuperCharger, I will be using the best sysctl tweaks, 3g tweaks, io scheduler tweaks (noop) and tell android that the phone doesn't have a hard drive lol
I'll probably put in the SD card tweak with a user selectable value (pick from 1 to 3 or whatever)
That way, I don't have to assume what works best for the user and the user can screw with it lol
There's more, but I forget right now...

Well, I had stopped working on it because I kept on perfecting V6.
But it's functional with the user selectable colours and what I have added so far... the 3G TurboCharger (usually build.prop tweaks but I'm screwing with local.prop) and that Overclocker that we had discussed previously.
The Overclocker won't make the final though because it's not universally applicable but I will probably make a Milestone version that includes it or make a "Zeppelinrox's Milestone Toolbox" script lol
Oh yeah, I want to add something called "Lock 'n Load Apps"

Playing around with the ICS Leak

This isn't a guide to help get ICS up and running, this is for the people that already have it up and running and would like to tweak it a little while we wait for the devs to finish working there magic
*Perform a nandroid backup in cwm before applying any tweaks, just in case something goes wrong!!!
So far I have been able to get a few tweaks working for the leak, all by using the app Rom toolbox pro. Here's what I've done so far.
1. Edited the build.prop to change the lcd density from 240 to 200 for a much crisper look. ( Note: you can change that value to what suits you best....160,180,etc...)
2. I also added a few tweaks to the build.prop for possibly better battery and responsiveness ( for example, increased wifi scan interval to 180, and add ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=800 for less lag when dialing out, there is many more just search for build.prop tweaks in the search bar.
3. Used the app manager part of rom toolbox to zipalign and fix permissions for all system and data apps
4. Increased the read/write speed of the sd card to 2048kb from 128kb.
Still playing around with the phone seeing if it needs anymore tweaks, personally i don't understand how i can make it any better but ill try. Maybe i'll try to see if I can get V6 supercharger running on the phone later.
If anyone else has been tweaking their phone and can add to the discussion, please feel free to do so!!!
tomorrow I figured out that it enabled time travel.

[Discussion] Your Favourite Sensation Setup

So I tried looking for a general discussion thread about phone configs, but couldn't find anything... so I went ahead and made one myself.
Kernel and ROM:
I'm currently using @android1234567's CM10.2 build with the hacky 624MB kernel....
who cares if he's taken a few shortcuts.... I can multitask a lot better on this kernel than on his 598MB one or on any other 4.3 build.
Software and Mods:
1. Xposed. The newest Xposed is awesome.... older versions of the framework gave me significant lag.... don't seem to have any with this version.
2. Greenify with the donation features.
3. BootManager and RecieverStop xposed modules. They seem to make a huge difference in how well the phone performs by changing the apps that get triggered at startup and by certain intents.
4. Seeder. I actually feel that it might not be that useful, but activating it made me feel that things were a tiny bit faster, so I run it anyway regardless of the CPU load.
5. TricksterMod. Set CPU frequency to 192-1512 MHz and GPU at 266 MHz with Intellidemand CPU governor and Ondemand GPU governor.
This is perhaps the best setup I've had with my Sensation, with things at their snappiest.
Please feel free to discuss about your phone's setup, be it Sense or NonSense.
I was hoping to see a thread like this so we could get the most out of our phones!
ROM & Kernel in signature.
MOD; The Sense 5 MOD.. Don't really like it tbh. Too lazy to re-flash ROM currently to remove it.
Some apps that I use;
Link2SD. Just good overall app for managing other applications and such!
Greenify.
SD Maid. Easy SD-card cleaning tool.
That's it for now.. I could use some more apps
Anyways, I am really interested in this ''Seeder''..
Does it really work?
I guess I gotta give it a try.
1. Note: Not all of us can see your signature (XDA or Tapatalk app users)
2. Does anyone still use the Boot Manager app to run multiple ROMs? I purchased the Pro version years ago when I had my Evo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=en
3. Currently using ViperS 3.1.2 but switch between MIUI and CM10.2 when I get the itch...

It does work, but the general consensus is that it's CPU use and battery drain outweigh the minor performance gains.
Try it out, but I'd rather recommend the Xposed modules I listed...
Edit: Greenify and SD Maid are awesome.... :thumbup:
I just joined and I have been looking for a thread like this to optimize my sensation.
So far like greenify and sd maid.

Just installed the BootManager and I'm loving it so far; Xposed is awesome.
My current setup:
- Revelation 1.0.2 with KSM disabled
- SuperSU, just because it handles SU requests a lot better than anything else
- ViperFX, best audio effects mod in my opinion
- Greenify
- AdAway 2.7 just because
- Clean Master. Ridiculously well done for a free app; automated app2sd functionality, backup and restore apps, clean junk files, etc.
- Xposed with Icon Themer, Boot Manager, XVolume30 and Xprivacy

My current setup is :
Mikhei777 ROM with Xloud as add-on
Sultan Kernel @1.08 GHz (SIO, Ondemand, no backlights, no UV )
No seeder or any Swap mod as it's very fast !!
Don't use also greenify or app of the same kind.
I'm very satisfied of my setup

[Discuss] how to make xperia devices more faster

When we search internet for how to make android or xperia devices more faster then we see the following tips mostly on every third site.
1) Reduce animation scale
2) Remove unused widgets on home screen.
3) Don't use live wallpapers, use static wallpapers.
4) Clean your cache by using clean master app or any other cache cleaner app.
5) Clean your ram by Ram cleaner app. eg. NQ Android booster or you can use other app according to your taste.
6) Restart your device once in a day to clear ram.
7) Use third party home launchers eg. Nova and Apex launchers.
8) Move apps to internal storage to clear phone memory.
9) Delete useless apps from your device.
10) Don't update stock apps which you are not using because it fulls your device memory.
If you have rooted phone, then delete all those useless stock apps which you are not using.
By following above tips we can observe some improvements in the performance of our device.
But some people also claim that by rooting/unlocking bootloader they observe more lags in their device performance and on the other hand, some people say that their device performance become better after rooting.
Now in this thread we can discuss some more tips and tweaks which are helpful in increasing our xperia devices performance.
If you know any trick and tweak that make our devices more faster then you can share that trick in this thread.
1. Change Your stock kernel to another, and change governor (Try and pick the best of You I recommend pegasusq or SmartassH3)
2. Install Pure Performance Golden Edition mod (way faster)
3. Use Seeder (reduce lag)
4. Uninstall unused apps like Timescape, Google maps etc. (More space in system = better)
5. Remove unnecessary language in the keyboard are not using (More space in system = better)
6. Change launcher witch is lighter
Optional
Odex Your rom
Install The New Pure Audio 2.0 (it don't speed up your phone but You here difference in sound)
Mine:
1. Delete some system app (Google+ .....)
2. Use Greenify to hibernate some apps if they are running in background
3. Use XBooster to free more RAM
4. Use another kernel, mine is Intuisy Kernel
Sent from my ST23i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1.Greenify is your friend
2.Use slim rom and the slimmest gapps possible
3.Remove useless apps
4.Overclock it.
Overclock to 1.3 Ghz, Governor: OndemandX and I/O Scheduler: Sio
Remove all bloatware from system/app
Remove all useless and unnecessary apps and widgets
Supercharge, Crossbreeder
Odex

[Nook HD+][EMMC][CM10.1.3]Tweaked Yellow Kernel 4.2.2 ROM V1.2 [F2FS]

This is basically the same as my PINGUYS CARBON JB 4.2.2 ROM ported to the Yellow Kernel ROM base.
All I did was OptiPNG, Zipped the apks and patched services.jar with "Ultimate Jar Power Tools" to improve multitasking. Also stripped out the libs in the apks and added them to system/libs.
Added my little tweaks to it. Replaced the launcher with the Google Now launcher. I added the Lollipop keyboard (from the Google Play Store) and the Sony Walkman music player with the UPNP/DLNA Media Server. Also added a custom sound engine that will greatly improve the sound quality.
MX Player is included and has working AC3 sound using a custom Arm v7-Neon codec.
There is a load of extra fonts added and I built in a modified version of flash that has Hulu support..
KSM and zRAM are enabled by default with custom values.
zRAM size is set to 154.8 MB/18.75% of total RAM and KSM pages_to_scan to 1536 and sleep_millisecs to 6000 reducing CPU cycles and saving battery power.
DOWNLOAD​In the attachments I have added:
Xposed GEL Settings
Xposed Installer
AdAway
Changed the base to 10.1.3 Yellow Kernel as this is easier to work with.
On first boot it will hot-reboot.
@PMikeP,
"I don't see a way to change grid size, add screens, change Home screen etc. on the launcher. It's not in my settings when I click the 3 vertical dots.
Similarly, I don't see a way to disable the Search bar/disable Search."
I don't think Google Now / Google Launcher / GEL let's you change any of that.
But, I *think* you can install XPosed and then use the GEL Tweaks module. I used that 2 or 3 devices ago, but haven't used XPosed in a while.
---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
So, let me ask this,
If I have a previous 10.1.3 rom and make a back up through TWRP,
Can I do a complete wipe, flash this and then restore data from my other backup, or will that mess with the tweaks on this rom?

Hi FirePsych: Good idea not to clutter up Jon's thread with comments about Pinguy's.
Okay on the new Google launcher. If that's the way it is, I'll stay with Jon's. I'm not about to install Xposed on my aviation tablet.
I tried uninstalling the search with Titanium, but doing that hung the ROM on reboot.
I don't know the answer to your last question. Of course you could give it try. This ROM does seem to do some preprocessing at boot, per my problem with Link2SD hanging the boot.

Why not just install Nova or Apex Launcher?
Or do what FirePsych said. Install Xposed GEL Settings.
Link2SD issues is probably due to system/etc/init.d/08setperm. Delete the file and see if that sorts it. But the way it sounds is you gave the ROM 3 minutes then removed it, so giving this advice is probably pointless.

If you was running 10.1.3 you can dirty flash this. You may have to go to apps and clean data for "contacts" and "contacts storage" (settings>apps>all and scroll to "contacts" open it and choose "clear data" - then go back to "contacts storage" and do the same thing.) if you get the android.process.acore error.
I tried a dirty flash and it didn't seem happy. Tried my idea and it was a little better, but since I had time, i did a full wipe again, flashed it and let Google restore my aops. So far, so good

Thanks for the input. I could try another launcher, but never have had to before. If I do, can I then disable voice search, and how?
I will try your suggestion for Link2SD.
I'm sorry that you sound upset. But actually, I gave the ROM 3 hours. As I use my tablet for aviation moving maps in the cockpit, I need something that works 100%. (And so I'm not going to hack it with Xposed.)
Jon's meets that requirement. Since you had put so much work into yours, I thought I would try it before I go flying again. Nothing personal.

Sorry my bad. Wasn't in a good mood that day.
GmsCore
QuickSearchBox
Google Now Launcher
Are all needed for the Google Now Launcher to work. Removing any of them will break the home launcher. It is why it hung when you removed QuickSearchBox. Without it the system had no home launcher to boot into.
As Google Now is a huge reason why I love (and many others) Jellybean I made sure it was working in this ROM.
If you are not a fan of Google Now, install a different launcher first before removing it. This way the ROM won't hang.

Thanks. It occurred to me later that there are philosophical differences between your ROM & Jon's.
Jon's is a spartan ROM, vanilla and free of Google stuff. (By design.)
Yours is more an "everyman's" ROM, built w/ the latest launcher and complete with mods for entertainment. (Ability to play Hulu Plus, better audio, etc.)
For my purposes in the cockpit, I need a bare bones ROM like Jon's. (I flash a stripped down version of GAPPS just so two of my aviation apps will install, and then I disable Play & Frameworks. Very lean. Very little running in the background while flying.)
If I knew enough how to do it, it would be interesting to take Jon's 10.1 ROM and fold only your performance enhancing features into it (i.e., keeping it Google free), to see the improvement and to see how stable it is. (That would also give an apples to apples comparison.) But since I don't know how, I'm content to wait for some other enterprising dev to do it someday.
Oh this seems very promising. I use mine for university. So a lot of reading, some surfing and mailing but also for entertainment as well. Most shows I watch on my nook so I will give your ROM probably a try starting this weekend even though I am not keen on Google now but I use NovaLauncher anyway.
Nice to see that there is still some development with this device.

IIRC, you had a problem with your Nook & the battery a while ago. What was the final problem & what was the final solution?
Is this Rom f2fs or ext4? Which should I Format to?

f2fs. But you can use ext4 if you like.
Possible bug: .MKV files with ac3 codec can't be played with MX player, vlc or BS player.
The Rom overall seems to be running smooth but unfortunaly not very liquid. At least not AS auch AS pure yellow kernel Rom. It's not too distracting though.

Really? Anyway you maybe able to share the video giving you problems? Every video I have is MKV with DTS or AC3 sound and they all work fine.
Well I won't share the video due to legal rights but write the given codec information: H264 MPEG-4 AVC , A52 Audio aka AC3 48khz 448 KB/s.
Another issue seems to be playing flash videos in Browser. They won't start. For example:
http://gizmodo.com/sonys-robotic-dogs-are-dying-a-slow-and-heartbreaking-d-1712160637
It started one time but as I watched it through I couldnt replay it. AS I try it now it won't even load. Also no possibility for fullscreen view while I do have thatat this page with my Smartphone.
It you cant recreate these issues I do a clean install again but maybe you do.
Bzw any recommendations for governors and i/o?

The linked flash video is working fine here. The fullscreen button doesn't show up but if you tap in the lower right corner it will go full screen.
As for the governors and i/o, the default settings are the best.
Updated the ROM. It's a lot smoother now.
Hi, I'm currently on PAC Kitkat 4.4.4 Rom. My Nook HD+ is suffering from 'Ghost touches', where touch inputs automatically registered without me touching the screen. I want to change to a faster and smoother Rom. My only uses for the Nook HD+ are Comic,epub,pdf reading and Watching 1080p movies using MXplayer. I'm confused between this rom and amace's CM 12.1 rom. In your opinion, which will be better for my use?
