Post your Nook HD/HD+ Cyanogenmod tweaks (Build.prop tweaks, scripts etc.) here, if they have benefited you in any way. Eg. improved scrolling performance, lesser lag, better battery life etc.
Perhaps these could be incorporated in the future versions of CM build. They could also benefit others who are running Cyanogenmod on their devices.
Make sure that your post contains
The version of Cyanogenmod that you are running and the name of your device
The tweak itself
How it can be implemented
Any side effects of applying the tweak, and the extent of it. (eg. Terrific performance = terrible battery life)
Credits
> Please post the tweaks only after trying them yourself, instead of dumping them from other forums.
> If you find that the tweak has already been implemented in a new release of Cyanogenmod, please edit your post to specify the same.
Keep the thread clean

Hello everyone,
I've been using the cm9 release candidate since it was released, and still can't figure out how to make it snappy (I was on Apex before, and found it much more responsive). I'm not sure which the performance/memory management settings the Nexus S can handle well (there are lots of other threads for other phones, but I'm not sure if some of the settings require better hardware), so I'd appreciate it if anybody could tell me what they've found to be good for the following options:
Performance settings:
- Surface dithering
- 16bit transparency
Memory management:
- Allow purging of assets
- Kernel samepage merging
Misc. information that may or may not be relevant:
- Using Matr1x kernel (CFS, v21.0 I think)
- Processor is running at 200/1200 most of the time, ondemand governor (same settings that used to give me great performance on Apex).
- Also tried running Supercharger script, but it didn't seem to change things as much as it usually does
- Fixing permissions didn't fix it
- Battery life seems fine
- What I mean by "unresponsive" is that the launcher takes longer than usual to redraw and is laggy switching between windows, apps often force close or take forever to start up, and the browser reacts much more slowly to pinches, swipes, etc.
Thanks!
tl;dr: CM9 users, please share your performance + memory management settings. Explanations not required, though appreciated.

You don't need to mess with those settings.
Besides, if your applications FC, it's likely because of:
a) instability regarding your overclock
b) instability regarding the undervolt that matr1x kernel comes with
c) the fact v21 was canned due to being judged unstable by so many, upgrade to v22
d) all of these
Cheers
If you don't know what a setting does, don't change it. Messing with the CM performance settings if you don't know what you're doing is a great way to mess your phone up.

are you completly retarded? there doesnt happen much when you change the settings there. you are talking like the settings are just for pros and he is a kid, lol. kernel samepage merging for example just "bonding" two similiar proccesses so they dont need too much ram.

Are you? This thread has been dead for almost 3 months. The OP had his answer. Resurrecting this thread just to argue is incredibly pointless.
PLEASE READ:
This AOSP is not limited to source changes from CM, Vanir, CNA, EOS, Carbon, AOKP etc. you get the best of all of them.* All features included have been reworked to eliminate performance sinks and memory leaks and subtly improved as i see fit also. Finally, this rom is compiled using GLOBAL -O3 -fstrict-aliasing.* I don't just turn it off where there's violations like every other "linaro" ROM source i've seen listed.* This is the real deal.* Latest linaro toolchain snapshot and proper use of the current 4.8 GCC features so it actually means something to say it's compiled with GCC 4.8.
Disclaimer: Because I'm using building using commits from every major repo in existence it may take a while to integrate some of the major features to my standards. I may release a stock AOKP feature as a beta until I have the chance to improve it but I'm not interested in band-aid fixing things or duck taping **** together just to get more crap under the features list and change log. Also, If you have questions or interest in building or joining vanirAOSP please message me on gtalk: [email protected] and feel free to add me on google+
here is a link to the parent thread where you can view previous change logs and perhaps find an answer to a question
general features:
vanirAOSP base: all features included, always the latest
customized-for-speed launcher2
optimized memory usage
current bug fixes and improvements from all major repos

Hey guys I'm making a page here with a list of all known ktweaker setups, catergorized by known model compatibility (especially for undervolting setups)
And direction of setup (performance, balance, power saving)
Feel free to add your setups to this thread, and eventually I will add it to the main post, if it's a good stable setup worth mentioning for at least 1 of the S4 devices.
For the first post I will present to you my pride and joy:
Super Bull 1.5
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/84442212/file.html
Features:
Balance between Superior performance and Ultimate battery life. Intensive CPU/GPU tweaks and voltage optimization. UI is snappy as hell.
M919 and i337 heavily tested and proven stable. I9505 stability in need of final testing.
Installation Directions:
- Download file.
- Place file in SD Card/ktweaker/
- Open ktweaker
- Select "Restore prefs from SD card"
Requires Ktweaker kernel version 8/27 or higher
Sent from my Galaxy S4 i337m
Isn't that what this thread is for?
Development for this phone has been slow, though this phone is a bit outdated. It is a great phone but only has one official rom, Conquest. Development for that has been ceased so I decided I wanted to continue development for this great phone. I put together a (partially) KitKat themed ROM based on the TouchWiz MG5 rom. It features KK Status bar icons (and some popups and windows), much better battery life, more memory management, less RAM consuption, zipalign, battery tweaks, and a few other init.d scripts, and it is fully deodexed. All the useless GApps were removed. It also uses the VaeVictus OC kernel, up to 1.8 GHz. Updates are released whenever they are made It is in Beta stages right now, so bugs are prone to happen. Any help with development is always appreciated. Check out the official page here!
Help for cooking AOSP lockscreen into ROM is greatly needed! Thanks :cyclops:
*FOR ANY DEVICE USING QUALCOMM CHIP***
Drop this file in your /system/etc folder, replacing the stock one. Cleaned up, and modified to work with a stock kernel or lean kernel.
Please open up the file, and read some of the notes I added, so you know what this does and how to change it if you so desire. It is very basic and straightforward.
Also, please remember one thing, if you want to go to the stock kernel, simply change any words in the scripts from "interactiveX" to "interactive".
Recommended lean kernel 3.16 with these scripts.
Designed to work with ALL Galaxy Note 3's running touch wiz 4.4.2 ROMs and running lean kernel or stock kernel. Other kernels are not guaranteed due to the voltages applied.
This will make a huge difference in performance and battery. Been using this (developed by me) for a long time now.
Summary:
*I/O optimization
*tuned interactive parameters
*fixed sysfs permissions for cpu's (root now has full control of sysfs tuneables)
*GPU sysfs identified for user to customize
*screen off frequency set to 1.2 GHz (can be changed by user)
*custom voltage set for bin 2 device. (Read instructions within file to adjust for others bins accordingly)
*custom mpdecision tuning and other relevant instruction regarding mpdecision binary
*general CPU tweaks for better performance, responsiveness and battery life (yes all 3 can be achieved, and are)
Again, open the file with a file explorer (or notepad+ in windows). Read it, understand it, adjust what you want, or leave it be. These settings are very much dialed in for the interactiveX governor of LK. It won't get much better. I'd say take a look at the voltage portion and mpdecision for now (found at the end).
Once more, drop file into the /system/etc directory... Replace the existing one, and reboot.

Updated today... many useful changes, and fixes (set up for stock kernel for now)

Are power save settings included in your mod?
I made some test with Antutu on stock CPU speed..
1.) Stock kernel
- original file = > 43911
- your file "interactiveX" => 43545
- your file "interactive" => 41690
2.) Lean kernel
- original file = > 44047
- your file "interactiveX" => 42484
- your file "interactive" => 41804

I wouldn't be too concerned with benchmark scores.
Performance ≠a higher score in antutu. But suit yourself.
Just giving you all a heads up.... I think there may have been a few errors in the stock init.qcom.post_boot file (they are human too, remember).
I am testing a few small changes to certain lines in the "factory" script to make sure. A brief explanation of it is that there are certain lines I removed from the one you all are using right now, and I did so because the file paths being called out did not exist!
However, I was going over this again tonight, getting ready for the official LP release and decided to review this odd discrepancy one more time. After doing some digging, I found that the file that some of those values were intended to be written to, were actually somewhere else!
Doh! - Sammy/QC. It is very possible that this location changed from a previous design or fs structure and somebody simply forgot to modify the script. Very interesting indeed.
Anyways, after I run this for a couple of days and do a little bit more investigating, I'll post the updated script for all of you.
Updated file and link is now available... I highly recommend anybody (devs included) use this in your current setup. Lot of fixes to the stock file that were critical to stability, power saving, and performance.

I wonder if this would work on lollipop leak. I'm running ayra mod v2 and could test this out.

My guess is that it would work on 5.0... I would need to see a 5.0 post_boot file, though, to compare and look for any major changes.

I've installed your script (on stock 4.4.2 kernel) but didn't notice any performance, stabilty nor battery improvements.. It's more placebo effect than a real improvement.

You are probably right, evidenced in the reports by everyone else that has used this saying the exact opposite. Lol
For me, it's noticeable. I have tested it pretty thoroughly and the script isn't just some cute ideas thrown together. From the lpm fixes (you can thank Qualcomm for that mistake), to some of the finer things like the deadline IO tuning (geared specifically for flash memory access), to some of the virtual machine parameters I've adjusted... There is logic and reasoning behind every single line of code I put together for this.
To be frank, I don't mind opinions. Hell I love them. But you need to know what you are talking about before you make a snide comment... Not for my sake, but for somebody who might not use it simply because they saw your remarks.
Many things appear to be placebo when it comes to this kind of stuff... But go start unzipping a large compressed file before and after using this script, or move a massive amount of data from your internal storage while playing music, browsing the web, and downloading an app at the same time.... I'd doubt you come in here talking about placebo.
You have yourself a wonderfully intelligent day.
Here you go, this is the post boot file. I'm running ayra mod v3 on noa5 leak with nl8 bootloader. The file appears to be modified on 11 Feb 2015
