Here is a ram script I put together. It's sorta a combination between the V6 Supercharger on option 7, Kickasskernalizer, and Car-o-Dopes tweaks, it has little bit of all those tweaks in it. So i wanna say thanks to zeppelinrox for the V6 Supercharger and the Kickasskernalizer and also Carhauler1969 and Ropodope for the Car-o-Dopes tweaks. There's also a read ahead tweak to set the sdcard at 512kb.
This was made for the HTC Evo 4g so I can't guarantee it will work on your phone but it should. If it won't flash thru recovery, go to bottom of op and download the script by itself and place in the right folder (init.d).
This is not to be combined with the niftyconiptionstweaks or the legit zip because this is different and could interfere with each other. I'd suggest to try all three separately to find which one works best for you.
[Q] What does this do?
[A] It will make your phone faster, more responsive, frees up ram, and could also increase battery life.
Script Values:
It has auto memory manager values of 6,12,75,90,95,125 [option 7 on V6].
It has sysctl tweaks of min free kbytes - 4096, Dirty Ratio - 70, Dirty Background Ratio - 50, and vfs cache pressure - 50 (sense) and 10 (aosp) [Car - o - Dopes tweaks]. And it also has a few tweaks from the kickasskernelizer.
Install at your own risk. I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Zip files to be flashed thru recovery

http://db.tt/5JgpAGSr
Instructions: Follow Exactly
Flashable Install (may not be flashable on other phones besides the HTC Evo 4g, but you can try and see)
1) Make a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong or you want to revert.
2) Download a file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (I use Root explorer).
3) Open up root explorer and go to /system/etc/init.d. Click on the "Mount R/W" button (that way you can delete files).
4) Delete or move to a folder on your sdcard (incase you want to revert) any ram scripts or ram tweaks you may have that is in the "init.d" folder (examples of ram scripts or tweaks are 00sysctl, 01sysctl, 06sysctl, 02sicktweaks, 06tweaks, S97ramscript, 99supercharge, and 98Kickasskernel, or any tweaks from niftyconiptionstweaks or the legit zip) .
5) Also if you are running v6 supercharger, you need to un-supercharge. If you are running Kickass Kernelizer, you need to un-kernelize and do not run those scripts while you have the niftyconiptionsscripts installed.
6) Uninstall any ram manager apps or task killers and do not use these.
7) After you uninstall all of that, reboot your phone and verify that none of the scripts you had before are still installed. (it will mess with the scripts you are about to install).
8) Boot into recovery (preferably Amon Ra).
9) Find the ultimateRAMscript.zip you downloaded and flash it.
10) Reboot phone and enjoy. Let your phone set at the lock screen for about 2 minutes, unlock and let it set for another 2 minutes to let it settle in. Your phone will become dramatically smoother after about an hour.
Manual Install
1) Download the script.
2) Remove any ram scripts or tweaks you currently have. Will be in /system/etc/init.d (its like this on the HTC Evo 4G but may be different on other phones)
3) Copy the script you downloaded and place in the init.d folder. /system/etc/init.d. (if using root explorer, you will need to hit the "Mount R/W" button at the top to be able to remove or place any scripts.
4) Once the script is placed in the init.d folder, long click on the script and click "permissions" and change it to "rwxrwxrwx" which is the same as checking all the boxes.
5) Reboot phone. Verify that the script is in the init.d folder and enjoy.

its free .. and do consider buying the pro version
I am seeing 2 Problems with this ROM:
1. Without following CPU Settings Recommendations (min -254, max - 1000) => Battery Life is extremely horrible (100% gets over within 3 hrs)
2. With your CPU Tool Recommendations, Performance is too bad (Ex: Dialer, Contacts, Application opening etc is extremely slow)
Any Ideas to fix the issue? I have used this ROM Since 2 days..

"Those, who fail to read history are bound to repeat its mistakes"
People here have and did and will fail to read the things here and many did and many probably will have to lose their devices. You don't have to lose a device to get knowledge inbetween your ears.You don't have to be stupid. You surely can learn from your mistakes. But There's a better way. You can learn from others mistakes. This thread is a compilation of such mistakes ,that I personally have done and many others ,who did and their solutions aka The easy ways.
So, officially I congratulate you for finding this thread and reading Upto here. So, even if you don't read the whole thread, these are the main stuff you must know is
1. Rooting is a dangerous process -done by developers only. If you did root your device, you assume full responsibility for your device. So, if you can't think like one of the developers at least partly, I suggest you don't root your device ,coz when you mess up, the one who deviced the procedure or Rom will not help you. And everything you find here is in "AS IS " tag.
2.If you have rooted, next thing you must do is backup-
Go to recovery,
go to backup and restore
click backup.
I find it strange that this is not included in the root procedure. This surely would've helped a lot of Picos out there.
3.NEVER DO A RUU
-It unanimously holds the number ONE title for the major causes of bricking of Picos.
Trust me -Surely you can save your device, without the ruu. And with ruu, you're bound to fail without proper knowledge and research.
The only time you are suggested by experts to do a ruu is when you have already done a ruu "and" bricked it.
4. Overclocking here may cause burnt nand. -know what Rom you're using-it may have built in-overclock .
However, overclocking doesn't necessarily produce burnt-nand for all devices.
5.Finally, Not all answers you receive in the question and answer thread are good. Some answers will kill your device. So please judge the credibility of the answerer before you follow the answers. Generally, you could track back their previous answers and their working. Thanks meter is a good source of credibility -but not always -Not all who have big thanks record are helpful neither are they knowledgeable-There are spammers, who trick people into giving thanks.Do your home work before you trust a stranger. Recognized developer title is a good source of credibility.
The above five should save you a lot of trouble.
Ever in trouble? Drop by and read.
Do your googling,if you don't understand anything here.Have a great time !

First thing to do after root is to make a nandroid backup.
Go to backup and restore and select backup
1.what is this partition?
It contains your recovery
2.what is recovery?
It's a specialized partition for Android, which is used when something goes wrong.
We use it to change (flash) Roms, change kernels and mostly everything in xda. Make nandroid before you mess up

What's not working:
cwm6 by sak let me down big time .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38734554
Except 1,all other recoveries will not show charging animation, when you are charging your phone after switching it off ~instead of charging animation ~you'll be going to recovery
twrp official - some problems with ext4 partition has been reported and also reported to have been fixed. -I never had the problem before and after and I recommend this one 2.5 present here in xda.
twrp cute prince has issues restoring backups (problem with symlink )
5.what's the difference between them?
cwm5 - complete backups of all partitions
twrp - support compressed backups /file manager and other great things
cwm6 - your SD ext partitions will not be fully backed up during subsequent backups,but only the changed files greatly reducing the size of subsequent backups
6. Can you explain more about cwm ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38100620
7. Recommended apps.?
Recovery file manager aroma 1.8
8. How to flash a recovery?
Two methods described in detail in link above by bhargz16 ~ fast boot
Flash from phone:
Required:
Flash_image binary
You can flash any recovery
From terminal using
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You need recovery.img (renamed like that ) present in /sdcard itself
9. Error while restoring .Androidsecure /sdext ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39874898
10. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.

The nothing really bugs list
Welcome to THE "NOTHING REALLY" BUGS™
This is the official nothing really bugs Pico web post at xda. Its name implies that the bugs present are really nothing to some people. But to the rest, it may bother a lot. So, this post.
Here you'll find most of the nothing really bugs. All statements having "Nothing really " in bugs list directs here. This is to inform new flashers of what they'll get and what they won't. To make the facts clear,so that you won't have to flash every Rom to find out all the nothing really™ bugs. After all, this is a newbie friendly thread.
Please note that though every effort has been taken to ensure an exhaustive list of all the bugs .Some may not have been stated here .If you do find a bug, which isn't stated here, please feel free to mention it here and I'll add it after being personally confirmation by me or two to three renowned senior member witnesses.

QUESTION NUMBER 11 ABOVE
Go back to main ^|^
Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
/DATA (150 MB )
1.WHat's this?
It is the internal memory
2.Why is it important?
Because this is the place where all the apps go
No /data = no more apps
3.what's our available internal memory?
150 MB
User available 90 MB
4. Any way to increase internal memory?
By scripts
5 .Recommended apps to diagnose application not installed
Diskusage app
Log cat
6. What does a app contain?
App when installed splits into apk dex,and data(lib+data) files
Go back to main ^|^
Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
SCRIPTS
Before we start, a app when installed takes space as three parts.
They are apk,dex and data (lib+app data)
All scripts work by symlinking
1. What are the scripts available for our explorer?
Partial scripts
A.Link2SD app
Moves apk,dex,lib~doesn't move app data
B.Root data2SD app
Need ext partitions
Moves application data2 ext
Full scripts--Need init.d support able to move fully /partially as per requirements
Links available in index
1.Mount2SD
Download from play store or from here check index
Famous for it's stability and frequent updates
Issues +
2. Int2ext
As per script, moves partially /fully .
Has a large user base
issues ++
3.s2e
Moves fully.
Issues +++
NO official version for jelly beans.
4.a2sd darktremor
Issues ++++
However works pretty well with stock Rom and jaggy Rom
Discontinued
5.ungaze script

1.1 mount2SD doesn't work? Script not executed fully @ boot?
Flash kernel 2.6 from above and you should be good to go.
2. How do I increase internal memory (literally ) from 150 MB to 2GB(for example SD ext )?
Use mount2SD reverse mount
Use int2ext
Side effects:
As per Android rules, 10% of internal memory will be unavailable
So, 200 MB out of 2GB SD ext will be unavailable
Mount2SD also has normal moving methods ,which will make Android think you'll have 150MB but you can fill up 2GB inside of 150 MB (Here 10% would mean 15 MB)
3. I installed d2ext/similar ,I'm not able to install more apps ,even though I have more SD ext space?.
A. First make sure you don't hit 10% data limit described above
B. Use diskusage app to determine,which partitions are full
For example- some scripts don't move dalvik and so dalvik will fully accumulate in /data creating no space.
C. Fix permissions from recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
4. My Rom doesn't have init.d support /I'm using stock Rom?
Check index
You can add init.d support by
Flashing custom kernel (cranium)
Flashing scripts to make init.d support (or pimp my Rom app[not tested])
5. Where to add scripts before flashing Rom?
Add it in /system/etc/init.d (permissions are rwx rwx rwx ,if you're adding this in recovery after flashing )
For mount2SD add configurations folder in /data/m2sd.
6. How to migrate from link2SD to mount2SD?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38840247
7. Is there a full script so that I can use both my internal memory and SD ext?
A bit complicated, but this what I use...
Configure mount2SD
To move both apk and dalvik
Don't move data.
Then open titanium backup to move app data
@First move one app data to create data2SD directory.. then you can batch move whatever apps you think fit.
But please make sure you have at least 10 to 30 MB in /data and in/SD ext (SD ext not necessarily ) before a nandroid backup. Otherwise restoreS will not work.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
Common issues with scripts:
0. Device stuck @ HTC logo with 4 error icons on all four corners
Since you flashed an ruu and failed user data fail etc.
Unlock bootloader if possible
Flash twrp recovery again
Code:
fastboot flash recovery.img
Then go to recovery with this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
Now that you're in recovery wipe everything, format everything .
If flashing failed /you can't enter recovery, do this keeping twrp recovery.img in /SDcard
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/recovery.img
Do cute prince recovery procedure shown in burnt nand section
Flash erase mtd3 as well
Now Flash your Rom and boot
If it doesn't boot, repeat the whole procedure above and now
Do ruu.
If all the above failed,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39181288
Read the above thread fully. That's the last resort.
Moral : Don't ever Flash an RUU (if you haven't already )
You can Flash stock Rom ~safer
1. Device struck in HTC logo
Wait for 15 minutes
Try pulling out battery and reboot
Update busybox and try installing scripts again
Convert your partition to ext3
Change your kernel to 2.6
2. Mount2SD ~apps update after every boot?
Turn cache off in app
Turn safe mode off
Clear cache and dalvik ~fix permissions ~reboot
Common issues after flashing:
1. I get status 7 error?
Open archive with Bluetooth file manager and check archive integrity
Try different compression method(thanks hpsgill)
Delete system apps
2. I get status 0 error?
Update binary used is different
Exchanged update binary from a working zip to this one
Other errors can be cured by changing recovery .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38469360
Common issues after flashing Rom:
1. Always do a clean install

2. No I won't listen. I want to do you a dirty install. Show me how?
Your choice

3. I get force closes of all apps?
Dalvik problem.

4.I get force close of a specific app?
If it's a paid app, then you need to change your Android id to your original Id with Android id changer /titanium backup
Not a paid app?
Clear cache and data of that app and reboot
Fix permissions
5.reboot after reboot?
Thanks bhargz16
Kernel problem. Change kernel
GAPPS:
1. This gapp always force closes?
A. If it's a gapp found on play, just uninstall that gapp from system using titanium backup and then reboot and install from play store.
B.if not found on play, then try flashing a different gapps version from goo.im .
Make sure you have enough space on /system and on /cache before flashing and then flash. If not delete unused apps like stock keyboard ,etc
2. RPS5~AEC0/927/any other error while downloading apps from play?
A. Clear data cache of play store app
Reboot
B. Clear data of google services framework
Reboot
C. Remove your google account and re add it. Reboot.- this worked for me.
3. All my apps are missing from installed apps in play?

2.sakîndia123
3.derefas
4.lirokoa
5.liverpool fan
6.bhargz16
7.nihar.g
8.ngolralph
And many others. The above are the developers of the roms that I used and present in no order.
2. Why doesn't sakindia123 update the OP ?
Disclaimer: Since it is one of the most faq by newbie,I'm forced to discuss here. I personally do not know sakîndia. If you still want more info, contact senior member hpsgill
You see.. He does nothing without reason. If he doesn't, then the last build present in op will be more /less equal to the latest build. There are other reasons ,which if I had to speak of them all, time wouldn't let me and I would have to deal with flaming members and mods and deleted posts and locked threads . Furthermore that question is well out of the scope of this thread. You are instructed not to ask this question any where.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
3. How can I contact these developers?
You can by studying Android development and codes, bccms,404s,tr2s and then talking to them. You'll have better luck talking with non recognized developers than the rds.
And try discussion threads .
4. Why doesn't a developer answer my question? (I'm being polite here)
Because the developer doesn't know the answer
w.r.f to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38095857
Or your question has already been answered. Try searching for your question at the least 10 pages back.
or your question is too silly to answer
Or your question is not seen ,because they don't have time .
5. Why do they do this ?
For passion of development, addicted, and for learning purposes.
So, that means they don't work for you. They don't help you. They do what they want.
6. I feel a emptiness around forum members. Was there a developer who worked here, yet left without goodbye?
Well not sure about goodbye, but yes his name is jaggyjags.
sakIndia123 came only late and his first work his cranium kernel, which he abandoned like it was nothing.. buried it along with jags. Cruel things did happen before you were here.

4. What are the symptoms of burnt nand?
Early symptoms:
You'll notice a strong drop in your free space in /data
Late symptoms:
/data free space is Nil /below 50%of what you saw before
Error in /cache /recovery/log.
Error in /cache/recovery/last log.Not readable.
No apps can be installed
Rom lags like hell
No Rom can be flashed /boots
Previous nandroids ,which are successfully restored before fails to restore now.
Really abrupt and fast restores with twrp
RUU cannot be done ~user data(mtd5) fail. System fail (mtd3)
5. How can I diagnose burnt nand early?
If you suspect burnt nand ,
1.Watch out for free space in /data and watch out for sharp reduction.
2.Download this app Disk Usage and watch out for increase in system data in /data

1.DOWNLOAD THE TERMINAL.ZIP ATTACHED BELOW
2.EXTRACT TERMINAL.ZIP INTO /SDCARD/lol [create a folder named lol[small letters ]in SDcard, if there already isn't one ]
3.Open terminal emulator on your phone
4.type or copy and paste this code and press enter
Code:

cp /sdcard/lol/runme.sh /r.sh
chmod 0755 /r.sh

5.if it doesn't work first time, paste twice.
6.If pasting twice doesn't work, type each code one by one -you'll surely get it. Come on-its just 4 lines -type it lazy!
And Now you'll see the number of bad blocks you've got.
You can also Flash the zip below[for which you have to go to recovery ]or execute the attached script badblocks.sh as root.

Not sure of the exact command,but will work.
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device [do ruu here, if you haven't been able to enter hboot before]
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.
12. GPU OC ?
gpu oc has been reverted along with CPU oc by sak for burnt nand. But may be added later. but not present in cm released on or two months before 9 may13.
12.1 is it safe?
I don't know. CPU oc did provide burnt nand and bad blocks. Gpu oc may also do some things, which may not be seen as of now. I've seen one case complaining that, after using Cyanogen and going back to stock - games started lagging, which did not lag, when he was in stock before. The reliability is doubtful. But not much people go back to stock either -so not much can be said.
12.2 do you recommend it?
"If any provider of any oc removes the "AS IS" tag and take responsibility,if something happens, then I'll probably may use that oc,otherwise count me out".
12.3 How to remove gpu oc ?
Its present in kernel. Flash another kernel. Or modify source and compile yourself.
Present at arch/arm/mach-msm/msm7x27a.c- kernel source.
Try here
Normal [bus, Gpu] is [0,133330000],[160000000,192000000],[200000000,245760000] I think.

Language support can simply be added by adding a Android supported language font file in /system /fonts and give it permissions rw r. r.(font files can be found all over xda )
Step 2. Open system /etc /fallbackfonts.xml...
There should be a lot of font file names there.. just delete a font name that you don't want and add your font file name (the name of the file which you put in /system /fonts)
In there.
Practice makes perfect.
This method however doesn't work /only partly works for complex languages /script like Hindi Arabic etc.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Long pressing reboot button (in the menu after pressing power key) will get you into safe mode
2. Long pressing power keys and volume keys + and- for more than 30 seconds will reboot your device (tk to hrkh83)
3. Repeatedly pressing certain options(like Android version) in the about menu in settings(on cyanogen ) will take you into different settings (tk liverpoolfan)

Battery drain
BATTERY DRAIN
Of course, we're gonna talk about drain.
Before we start, I want to disprove some prevalent concepts
1. Battery calibration
It is supposed to increase Battery capacity and increase Battery life and it makes your phone to show the correct Battery on the notification bar.
FALSE
It doesn't do any of those. Calibration is just deleting Batterystats.bin file. That file holds info about how many seconds each apps were running for.typically it's blameometer. It shows the information you see in the battery chart in your settings. Nothing more.
Source: article
2. Cycling your battery life from 0 to 100 and 100 to 0 will typically increase Battery life. Further more you should make sure it comes to zero by turning on the phone,every time it got switched off on it's own.
FALSE AGAIN
Nothing could destroy your Li-On Battery than extreme low voltage. You can be sure that this will destroy your battery life more than anything. During storage it's recommended to keep the battery in cool place with 40%Battery.
So, don't use any battery draining app from market.
Ok, since we took out the false foundation, it's time to put some true working tips to save your battery during usage and it's overall life
1. It's recommended to charge as often as possible ~every time you get a socket. Though not to keep @100 all the time. Overcharging theoretically may damage your battery, but your phone comes with various safety mechanisms to prevent charging after that.
2. Limit the number of apps. Definitely would produce good Battery.
3. Limit the number of apps, that run in background all the time.
Typical example would be facebook.
PERFORMANCE:
4.Disable autostarts for all apps, that you don't use much~using autostart manager.
Disabling autostarts for the clock app will make you get up late. Use common sense.
This alone should drastically improve your performance
5.Use lightweight launchers ~Nova.
Go (any go products) is not advisable
6.Post ICS, Disable media scanner receiver.
You can use elixir app to disable media scanner receiver. This will scan your SDcard over and over again resulting in Battery drain,which is significant, if you use a bigger SD. Use media scanner root to enable and disable.
As far as the usual ones,
7. Disable autobrightness
8. Keep screen @ minimum brightness
9. Disable autorotation
10. Disable location services.
GAPPS:
11. Disable GSF (google services framework ) receivers ~the ones with gtalk on it.
12. Disable auto sync
You can use timedo /timer Android to turn on sync twice /thrice daily.
13. Reduce number of accounts. Better to keep single than three accounts.
14. Good internet connection. Amount of energy taken to re connect is supposed to be far more than amount needed to keep a connection.
15. Undervolt/with underclock
RECOMMENDED APPS:
1.BETTER BATTERY STATS ~free for xda.
2. Onepower guard
I haven't found satisfying results with this app, but still try it out
3.greenIFY
I haven't used this @ all.
4. Any app, that is used to reduce /increase heartbeat sent to google servers.
Well, that's all I've learnt as of now.

Presents
AUTORAMDISK™ EXCHANGE PROJECT alpha™
Current version: 0.0.0.0.071 Alpha
Created with Es explorer 1.6
Created on HTC explorer Pico a310e
Update:
I have got it to work and complete
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40035607
Old post: too lazy to delete
Present condition:
Hi. I cannot get it to work on HTC Pico yet .It may work on other phones. If someone can, please feel free to complete it provided you give proper credits And you do not make money out of this.
What's this?
It's a procedure (wip) to Flash any kernel without the need to change ramdisk.
As new kernel gets released, you don't need to change ramdisk to suit your Rom.
Automated procedure:
Open any kernel.zip with any zip extractor on your phone
Copy the script below and paste it in updater-script present in meta~inf/com/google/Android
(delete any other things written there. )
Code:
package_extract_dir("bin","/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/unpack-bootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/dump_image");
run_program("/sbin/dump_image","boot","/tmp/oldboot.img");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/oldboot.img","-o","/tmp");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkdir","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/boot.img","-o","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "rm","-r","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mv","/tmp/boot/kernel","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg", "--ramdisk","/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","--kernel","/tmp/kernel","-o","/tmp/newboot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");
delete_recursive("/tmp/newboot.img", "/tmp/boot", "/tmp/oldboot.img", "/tmp/kernel", "/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/busybox", "/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "/tmp/mkbootimg");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Download zip files from the source link below
Extract it and copy the bin folder from there to your kernel folder directly.
There should be 3 folders in your kernel folder ~bin folder, meta inf folder, system folder and boot.img
Now compress it and Flash
Note that this is only applicable to change ramdisk. If the boot. Img needs more work than that, it won't work. Essentially, it won't work on sense4 compiled kernels and vice versa
Manual terminal emulator method:
Alright guys, one last tutorial from me making my last mark here .This tutorial is not tested fully and probably never will be due to lack of time. And it will work for sure ~but May have syntax errors.
Credits:
1.trevd for arm executable binaries.
2.Xda university.
Requirements:
1.Any Android 2.3+ rooted
2.Android terminal emulator
3.arm executable unpack-bootimg binary and mkbootimg binaries (find it below )
History:
I wanted to change ramdisk for kernels for a long time on phone itself ~probably for a year or more . But anyone who tried to unpack using normal unzip apps would've noticed that other data.img and even system.img in clockworkmod could be unpacked easily, but not the boot.img and recovery.img. When I searched to unpack, it was easy with computers using the unpackbootimg binary for Linux. Problem was it wasn't cross compatible with our phones . So, I was searching for quite a while,until I found trev on xda university and he had made arm executable binaries for unpacking, repacking. Actually the main reason these binaries were created was for far greater and more advanced purposes i.e. to use apply patch functions in update binary and update script to Flash ramdisk on phone without flashing the kernel itself or vice versa (AFAIK)[ The apply patch functions are used in normal ota updates for any Android phone ]. Anyway I took those binaries to unpack kernels on our phone to change ramdisk. I write this for those, who want to change ramdisk on thier phone, but had no experience in PC whatsoever. And also by doing this, I share the unpack boot image binaries by trevd for Android phone ,so that any advanced member May use it for kernel updater scripts~think about it ~one zip for all cm9/10/10.1. Ofcourse the rest is up to you. Thanks for reading
Procedure:
1.Download the zip given in source below
2.Unpack it
3.Find these two binaries in /system/bin
Unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg
4.Copy them to /system/bin and give them full execute permissions in es explorer and read/write permission for user.
5.For easy remembrance,say, b1.img is your original boot image for your Rom(and Android,say cm10 ) and b2.img is the new kernel released for cm10.1
6.You want to change the ramdisk ofb2 cm10.1 to cm10 ,so that you can Flash the new kernelb2 for your cm10
7.Create new folder in SDcard named boot and put both b1.img and b2.img there
8.Open terminal.
9.type the following code one by one
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/boot
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b1
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b2
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b1.img -o /sdcard/boot/b1
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b2.img -o /sdcard/boot/b2
rm /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mv /sdcard/boot/b1/ramdisk.cpio.gz /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mkbootimg --kernel /sdcard/boot/b2/kernel.img --ramdisk /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 12C00000 -o /sdcard/b2new.img
rm -r /sdcard/boot
Note: the last rm command will delete all your old kernels ~don't execute it, if you don't want to have it deleted.
10.Now you have new kernel boot image with your ramdisk in /sdcard/b2new.img
11.Put it back in the zip with it's modules and
12. Flash
13.Hoping it'll work.
14.That's the end.
Source and binaries here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36931024
For dream and Sapphire models, you can use the binaries created by koush ~ which is found in his github ~any kernel project.
I'll probably be leaving soon
Kind of feel like working for xda. I guess sak and others would probably feel like it later. It's been great while it lasted. So this is probably my last project. If I did have some extra hardware during this period, things May have been different. It's good, while it lasted.
"The fantasy of a dream is that, it's still a dream, when it becomes reality, then it's no more a dream and the fantasy is lost. "
「Good bye xda」
So long:angel:

This GUIDE is aimed at users who want to REDUCE HEATING/TEMPERATURE & get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores much & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery, phone or fingers burning up)
NOTE: My tweaks are related to HARDWARE (CPU, GPU, IO & Screen) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS: : [1] Undervolting the CPU - to draw less power & run cooler
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete (& another 5 minutes if you need to install the Kernel)
STEP 1 - Flash ALUCARD's Kernel V3.4.108 (if you haven't already done so) from here (Thank's to @_Bon_Bon for the latest Kernel & permission to use his work)
Boot into recovery & flash the Zip (just like you flashed your ROM) - you will not lose any data at all
__________________________________________________
STEP 2 (AUTO MODE)
If you wish to get ALL my Kernel Tweaks in ONE STEP simply download this file OR download the default.zip (you need to unzip it) attachment
Save it to the root of your INTERNAL MEMORY (see screenshot on where it should be - you may already have a file with the same name there - please delete it)
Now open sTweaks -> select the BACKUP OR RESTORE tab -> Press RESTORE NOW
Wait 30 seconds.....
Now REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check the CPU Voltage are same as below (to be sure the settings are active) :good:
ALTERNATIVELY:....... (Manual mode - so you are involved in what is happening )
Open the sTweaks app -> CPU Voltage Control & put ON the CPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH
Now set voltages as below:
NOTE: (these are for a PVS2 & above chipset found in over 90% of i9505's)
IF you face any freezing+lines on screen (it is because of others tweaks/settings - please stick to just using my Kernel settings)
IF freezing still persists it means you have a PVS1 or PVS0 chip - simply add +25mV to each setting if that's the case
378 kHz 750000 uV
486 kHz 750000 uV
594 kHz 750000 uV
702 kHz 775000 uV
810 kHz 812500 uV
918 kHz 825000 uV
1026 kHz 850000 uV
1134 kHz 875000 uV
1242 kHz 887500 uV
1350 kHz 912500 uV
1458 kHz 950000 uV
1566 kHz 975000 uV
1674 kHz 1012500 uV
1782 kHz 1062500 uV
1890 kHz 1100000 uV
Now go to the GPU tab in sTweaks & put on the " GPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH"
Set GPU voltages as below
Level 1 895000 uV
Level 2 1000000 uV
Level 3 1100000 uV
Now Click on the CPU page & ensure ENABLE ON BOOT (Load all settings on Boot) & below it press LOAD ALL
REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check CPU Voltage (to be sure your above voltage settings are active) :good:
DONE !
I've overworked my phone for >100 hours & done over 55 full CPU/GPU stress tests with multiple CPU & benchmark tools to give you these STABLE final results.
With Games + Downloads + Benchmarking + Other apps + CPU Monitoring was running the CPU reached just 62C (see it in the screenshot attached)
I also took 2 back-to-back comparative benchmarks using AnTuTu & got 27,000 (an overall drop of just 6% from the initial 29,000)
RAM performance increases (cooler & more efficient) while Runtime & 3D performance loses out a little but this won't affect you unless you are into hardcore gaming/too much multi-tasking (if so then please do not reduce the GPU voltages)
Do share your results & experience - Happy tweaking folks! :highfive: & don't forget to hit that THANKS:good: button
This guide is aimed at users who want to get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery burning up)
NOTE: This only tweaks the HARDWARE (CPU, Screen, Vibrator) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS:
1) Exploiting the AMOLED screen - to display more black (pixels off) thus increase battery life
2) Adjusting simple accessible settings - to improve performance/battery
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete from you SETTINGS MENU
_____________________________________________
MOBILE NETWORKS -> Preferred 3G/2G (unless you really want 4G)
MORE -> NFC (Off)
CONFIGURATIONS -> MISCELLANEOUS -> Widgets/CLOCK widget Setting(increase update freq) , Vibrator Intensity (40%)
CONFIGURATIONS -> BUTTONS -> Navigation Bar Buttons (OFF if using Hardware keys)
CONFIGURATIONS-> HARDWARE KEYS (Enable if BUTTONS is OFF) -> Backlight (Enable for 1 second)
THEMES -> Install "Nicholas' Blacked Out" theme & Also "Pitch Black" wallpaper (from PLAY STORE)
DISPLAY -> Adaptive Brightness (ON) , Sleep (15s or 30s) , Daydream (OFF) , Ambient Display (ON)
SOUND & NOTIFICATION -> Other Sounds -> Touch Sounds (OFF), Vibrate on touch (OFF), Vibrate (OFF)
DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> Window Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Transition Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Animator duration scale (1 or OFF)
SUPER SU# -> Settings -> Enable Su during boot (ON)
DONE !!! :good::good:
Screenshot's attached!
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped. :good::fingers-crossed:
p.s : This also works on other ROM's where you have similar settings that you can toggle/edit

Converting / formatting filesystems to F2FS
Formatting filesystems as F2FS is suggested, if your ROM / Kernel supports it
This is done to improve speed and storage lifespan.
Code:
Filesystems that | Which
you can convert | Method
------------------------------------------------------
/cache | Format
/data | Format / Restore
/sdcard | Format
/system | Restore
/preload | Format
-------------------------------------------------------
EXT4 on /system is actually faster than F2FS, because it's a read only partition.
So, if you don't mess around with /system on a regular basis, converting it is not necessary.
Code:
[B] Converting filesystems through formatting: [/B]
1. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
2. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
3. Click Repair or Change File System
4. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 6
5. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
6. Done!
[B] Converting filesystems through restoring a backup: [/B]
1. Go to Backup and choose the partition(s) you want to convert and back them up
2. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
3. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
4. Click Repair or Change File System
5. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 10
6. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
7. Go to Settings and check: ”Use rm -rf instead of formatting”
8. Go to Restore and select the backup you made earlier
9. Restore the partition you converted to F2FS from that backup
10. Repeat above steps for all partitions you desire to convert / backed-up
11. Done!
Flash-able tweaks and mods
If you haven’t flashed your ROM and GAPPs yet, now is the time to do so
If the ROM doesn’t have a suggested GAPPs, choose Open GAPPs from the OP

life and performance. By following this guide, you can improve both easily!

Oh you thought we were done tweaking the kernel? Here’s another guide on
tweaking the Android kernel, to squeeze to last little droplets of power out of your phone!
6. [URL="https://mega.nz/#!uotDxCTT!2y_-OPMbffdGBpX9V_P8TJKrbcpV9U8I09icCuvX4fQ"]_Bon_Bon’s build.prop tweaks[/URL] :P
Copy the text from this file and add them to the end of your /system/build.prop file, using a file manager. After you’re done, wipe /data/dalvik-cache and reboot your device.
([B][COLOR="Red"] ATTENTION This tweak is deprecated! Also: [/COLOR] If you flashed my The_Thing MOD, or have applied some other tweaks including build.prop, don’t use this file! [/B])
Additional tweaks
Some other small tweaks and tricks that aren’t that effective or aren’t suitable for the average user
You have been warned, some of the following TIPs aren’t suitable for everyone! So try them at your own risk!
Code:
1. Reducing resolution
Now, this boosts graphics performance A LOT, but can cause instability
You need a resolution changer app, I’d recommend NOMone Resolution
Changer from the Play Store
You have two choices, two thirds of the original resolution or three fourths
of the original resolution
(These two are the ones I chose, you can try out your own ones at your own risk)
Original
[ATTACH]3407082._xfImport[/ATTACH]
2/3
[ATTACH]3407084._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 720, Height = 1280, LCD Density = 360 / 330
Gives more performance, difference is hard to see
[B] (Some games and apps might not be supported with this resolution, like Dead Trigger 2) [/B]
In addition, if you think that the icons are too large, you can go back and change LCD Density to 330
3/4
[ATTACH]3407083._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 810, Height = 1440, LCD Density = 360
Gives performance, difference is impossible to see
3. Recommended and useful apps
sEFix, Entropy Tweaker
It’s a handy little app that changes Entropy generation threshold. Increasing Entropy generation threshold can reduce slowdowns while using apps that rely on randomly generated numbers.
Code:
1. Download the app from the Play Store, [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdvdev.sef"]here[/URL]
2. Open the app and move the slider, so the threshold shows 1024
3. Done!
Greenify, App Hibernator
Now then, we’ve all heard about the battery and performance boosting app, known as Greenify
It needs no introduction and no explanation, just go check out its XDA thread and enjoy your new found power!
Amplify, WakeLock stopper
Using this app you can prevent and customize what Wakelocks are allowed to happen and how often. It’s a handy app and worth your time, so go check out its website!
Power Nap For XPOSED
Yet another Wakelock blocker. This app lets you choose what applications that are allowed to cause Wakelocks and it blocks all others. Go check out its XDA thread!
4. Themes and personalization
This is why Android, for me anyways, it’s the best OS for your phone out there.
Customizations! Themes! Boot Animations! Endless possibilities!
So I challenge you, to tell us your favourite themes and layouts and leave links from where to find them! Some of them will be given a place in this guide!

CAMERA HACKS & MODS
If you face a Camera bug on any Lollipop ROM where hardware interface crashes after shooting some photos/videos & it says "UNABLE/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT TO CAMERA".
just reboot into recovery & flash this file
Your camera will NEVER crash again!!!! Credits to @AntaresOne
Samsung's Camera drivers are closed-source (locked) so custom ROM developers are not able to extract the full potential of the hardware (eg HDR & manual camera settings such as focal length etc.)
No Camera app can fix that issue - however I would recommend you use any of these Camera applications:
1)"OpenCamera" from Play store
2) Google Camera (preinstalled) for normal & panorama shots.
3) CM12 modded CameraNext v22 from this link
"CM Camera" is nice but again due to driver limitations it's features get limited & also Panorama sometimes crashes!
MODS/ZIPS
Here you'll find all my handy little mods and explanations what they do
I do accept request, just don't ask me to build an AI ;D
These mods require the latest busybox and init.d support!
Busybox
Don't have Busybox, or you don't like your current build? Then try mine!
It comes in 3 different builds to be used in different situations and is definitely worth your time
Now also includes a dynamic installer script! It can be used to install and update the build, so you only have to download the installer once!
SwaPa
Using this script the user can create a swap space into cache, from 50mb to 150mb.
Most users don't need it, as it's only useful if you're doing some serious multitasking or benchmarking.
When android runs out of physical memory (that rarely happens on our phone) it normally starts to kill any inactive background processes, but first gives them a chance to persist their progress (Caching or writing it down to /data) With swap, android moves the process to a swap file and retrieves it when it's needed again, so it acts like a slower version of RAM.
It also has the ability to remove all swap spaces, including Zram.
Zram is bad on a phone with a lot of physical ram (like ours) so it can be disabled. You can read more about it here.
Fstrim 3.0
When android deletes files it just writes 0 to the block where it was. This means that when android wants to rewrite to that block, it first has to completely empty it and this decreases performance. And someone could potentially recover the data that was on that block, possibly stealing personal information. So this script every 5 hours "trims" (clears blocks considered empty) /data, /system, /preload and /cache, prolonging your phones storage lifetime and improving performance. And it creates a log file to /data so you can see how much was "trimmed" You can read more about it here.
New feature! Cache dumping! Android caches apps for faster start-up and usage, but on some ROMs/Kernels this can cause lag after few days, or even few hours! Now this script dumps the cached ram for an instant speed boost!

Will my s4 charge faster if i set the charging to 1900mA in the kernel?
Because i have a 4port usb charging port with an output of 3amps i believe.

@droidblitz you must keep the sTweaks settings for AC Charging at 1900mA in the Kernel & USB at 460mA
Only if you have a charger 1.9A charger only will it charge super-fast to full capacity - BUT it will also heat up the circuits & it's not advisable to use the phone at such times.
P.S - I don't have the original charger (nor do I have the original battery) so I use a 1A charger to fill the battery & it does the job in a few hours (around 4-5 hrs I guess) and it doesnt heat the battery or circuits much (which means my battery will last me much much longer)

After I flash the Alucard Kernel, I go to STweaks to load the profile but it says no kernel support?
I had that, but if I went back to it after 30 seconds or so it showed all the settings. Check SELinux is set to permissive as well.
Welcome to the official thread for Intex Cloud Tread.
You can discuss anything related to the phone here. (All links are Google Drive and XDA)
Make: INTEX
Model: Cloud Tread
Stock ROM: Android 5.1
Kernel: 3.10.72 (Remember this while looking for ROMs to port)
SOC: MT6591 (The same as MT6592, so you can easily port ROMs)
RECOVERY
Type: TWRP
Version: 3.2.1 EXPERIMENTAL
Kernel: 3.10.72
Supports: MT6591/MT6592
Download (Note: Old backups doesn't' work with this one.)
*Might have a couple of bugs (CPU Temperature doesn't work, ADB Backup doesn't work), but works for backups and restores and flashing and mounting and ADB Sideloads. This is an experimental build. Use with caution.
Type: TWRP
Version: 3.1.0
Kernel: 3.10.72
Supports: MT6591/MT6592
Download New Fixed Version Download (Note: Old backups doesn't' work with this one.)
OLD Version (This was a half-assed port from Excite Prime that Identifies device as Excite Prime and has a lot of other bugs)
Download OLD Version
Instructions:
1. Download and install SP Flash Tools
2. Start it and go to Download tab.
3. Now, in the scatter loading file box open the SCATTER Text you downloaded. (Link below)
4. Make sure the drop down box is selected at Download Only.
5. Untick all boxes except recovery and double click on the location part of the recovery row.
*DON'T PLUG YOUR PHONE IN NOW*
6. Select the recovery you downloaded from here and click the Download button.
7. Now turn the phone off or remove its battery and plug it in.
The necessary drivers should install and wait for a few seconds until a green tick or circle comes on the screen.
There, one custom recovery for INTEX Cloud Tread has been flashed.
SCATTER FILE - Download (You will need it to use with SP Flash Tool)
If you want the STOCK RECOVERY download it from here.
ROOT
Type: SuperSU
Download
Instructions:
1. Copy the file to your SD Card.
2. Press Volume Up+Power to boot into recovery when the phone is off.
3. There go to Install > Select Storage > MicroSD > SuperSU.zip.
4. Un-check Reboot Automatically. (This may clear the dalvik-cache which is recommended but not necessary and might take some time to boot up the first time.)
5. Then Swipe to flash and reboot.
Congratulations! You are now rooted without the annoying KingUser.
XPOSED
Installer: v89 sdk 22
Download
Uninstaller: Download
Instructions:
Flash XPOSED using the same method used to flash SuperSU above.
After flashing Clear Dalvik-cache (Option is on the same screen) and boot into android and install below APK to manage XPOSED
XPOSED APK v3.1.5
Uninstallation Instructions are also the same.
STOCK ROM - Download
Flash with SP Flash Tools.
After flashing stock ROM from the above link, untick all the boxes and tick only the boot image section.
Now download and select this boot image and flash.
This is because the boot image included in the above linked ROM has screen flickering issues.
Intex Cloud Tread Battery and Performance Optimization
First download and flash this "IntexDebloat.zip" file.
It will remove the bloatware that came with the phone. (User uninstallable apps are not included)
Intex Keypad (Which when automatically updates to Mox Keypad is a privacy nightmare) is also removed. Use Gboard or the stock AOSP keyboard in the phone.
Now make sure you are rooted and have xposed installed.
Install these below apps from playstore or apkmirror or from anywhere
1. Greenify
2. Kernel Adiutor
3. L Speed
4. Busybox
5. Powernap 0.7a (optional) (and don't download the newer versions or update from play store)
After installing all of the above follow these tutorials in order.
#BusyBox - Preparing the phone
Open busybox, grant SuperUser permissions and install it. Now you can uninstall the app if you don't need it.
#Kernel Adiutor - Custom Governor Tunings
Disabling MTK Performance Service
This is one of those situations where a good idea is implemented in a not so good way. Performance service can provide you good performance at a very dear cost of battery life and it can also override or worse play along and consume more power with the below tweaks. So you should disable it before attempting these.
Open Kernel Adiutor, grant su permissions and in the sidebar goto build prop tab
There search for ro.mtk_perfservice_support
Change its value from 1 to 0.
Now we are going to tune the Governor.
Believe me when I say this I've been tuning this phone for over two years now with 100s of different configurations and these are the two best configurations for a balance between power consumption and performance.
Option one: Hotplug with rush function and fast sampling rate (My favorite)
Open Kernel Adiutor > CPU tab.
Make sure the governor is set to Hotplug.
Now change the following Governor tunables;
Code:
cpu_down_avg_times=20
cpu_down_differential=1
cpu_input_boost_enable=0
cpu_rush_boost_enable=1
cpu_rush_threshold=98
down_differential=5
sampling_rate=30000
up_threshold=99
This should give you good performance while maintaining good battery life
Option 2: Hotplug with no rush and high sampling rate (This is also good for battery life but a bit low on performance)
Code:
cpu_down_avg_times=20
cpu_down_threshold=20
cpu_input_boost_enable=0
cpu_rush_boost_enable=0
cpu_up_threshold=90
down_differential=5
sampling_rate=73000
up_threshold=97
No matter what you choose your battery life is hugely dependent on what you choose to do with your device. I usually get 5h of *continuous* SOT on auto brightness with these settings on WiFi and browsing. YMMV.
Some people might suggest setting
ignore_nice_load=1 for more battey life as well. But this phone kinda categorizes everything as nice processes and will only run on 1-2 cores @728MHz if you enable that without MTK Performance Service. It did got me more than 7h SOT but it was basically unusable.
Make sure you enable apply on boot on each page you change to make it apply on each boot!
Now go to I/O Scheduler tab.
There change scheduler to noop for internal storage and sd card if you have one.
Also goto settings and change the apply on boot delay to instant.
#LSpeed, Paget96's masterpiece!
Open L Speed, finish the tutorial without enabling anything and do as follows
Sidebar > Main section
Disable Debugging: Enabled
Window Animation Scale: 0.5x
Transition Animation Scale: 0.5x
(Don't change animator duration scale as it will mess up every animations in the device)
CPU Tuner
Don't enable anything in here, we already tuned our governor with our own values in Kernel Adiutor.
Battery
Battery Improvement: Enabled
I/O Tweaks
SD Tweak: Enabled (If you have a SD Card)
I/O Boost: Enabled
Partition Remount: Enabled
Disable I/O stats: Enabled
Don't enable scheduler tuner as we choose noop in kernel adiutor which can't be tuned!
RAM Manager
You will be tempted to change a lot of things here but don't. It will only make it worse. Just change the below settings
Virtual Memory Tweaks: Battery
Cache Reclaiming: 50%
OOM Killer: Enabled
OOM Dump Tasks: Disabled
Also you can do a fstrim as well if you would like to. No probs.
Now go to settings and chage the apply on boot delay to instant.
#Greenify
Install greenify, enable the module in xposed installer and restart. After boot, make sure you wait till L Speed and Kernel Adiutor apply their settings.
Now open greenify, goto its settings, xposed based features and enable the below
Wakeup timer coalescing
Telephony Wakeup
Greenifying System apps
Now go back, select add apps and on the top right corner, select the three dot button and choose Show All.
Now add every app in the phone to greenify. (Don't worry greenify only hibernates app that consumes battery, those who don't consume battery in the background will be shown as background free.)
Don't add the following apps:
Bluetooth
MTK NLP Service
Phone
Phone (System)
Google play Services
Google Play Services (Persistent)
Voicecommand
Download manager
Calendar storage
Play store
Google account manager
com.mediatek.voiceextension
Google backup transport
Google calendar sync
Google contacts sync
Kernel Adiutor
L Speed
Prevent Pocket Dials
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^These will start again and will consume more battery if you hibernate them.
#Power Nap (Optional)
Only install v0.7a (link above).
It's the basic stuff. Install, enable in xposed installer, open, enable the first option, add L Speed and Kernel Adiutor to it's whitelist. And reboot.
And that's it! Make sure you add any new app you install to greenify. Some say you don't need to hibernate everything, only the rogue apps. But Greenify itself can decide whether it should hibernate an app or not. So that's fine.
This took me a long time to write and more importantly this took me two years of experimentations to find. (Especially the governor tunings). Hope you guys enjoy it.
In addition to this I also recommend using Nova Launcher as the stock launcher is basically adware and follow the usual "don't install every crap-booster-cleaner-app you see" advice to maintain your device.
Device not revealed.
When I start MTK Droid tool, it says,"The device isn't revealed. Connect or reconnect a cable." I waited for like half an hour still the issue persists.
MTK Droid doesn't work that easily with phones newer than KitKat because of an incompatible adb. The solution is to manually replace the adb while MTK Droid Tools is running to make it work.
You can use this script I made that will automate the process and saves you the hassle.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/fix-impossible-to-start-adb-error-t3582571
Remember: Keep the phone connected with USB Debugging enabled before using the above script.
If it fails, try again it will work. :good:

Bump! :highfive:
Yes it did work, but on running mtk droid tools the icon on the bottom left corner shows yellow colour. So to fix that I clicked on the ROOT option next to the ADB Terminal option. I granted the access through my phone. Few seconds later the icon turns green for few milliseconds and it quickly turns into red colour saying "CONNECTION LOST." Even though my device was connected with USB Debugging ON. HELP ME.
You cant use MTKDroid to root the phone. Try with TWRP and SuperSu.zip
Now even after rooting MTKDroid will report that the phone is not rooted.
That's another security feature of Android. The adbd interface will work on non root mode even after rooting. You have to install adbd insecure apk (paid on google play, but available for free here on its XDA thread) by chainfire to change it to root mode.

Thanks for the advice ,got my readback using sp tools.
Just a suggestion, TWRP is extremely good with backups. If you just want the stock ROM, goto TWRP>Backup>Tick all except data and cache. The backup size should be around 1.6 GB.
Note: SuperSU and Boot animation are in the system partition so that will also be in the backup.
Adithya can u edit EBR files ..in our phone EBR 1 is too small ....i know the method ..though not a geek to do it.
hope this link will help u even getting new roms to intex cloud tread ....... http://www.droidgyan.com/development/

To be fair, I am not really a geek myself. I did this because I was so desperate to get a recovery.
The EBR records doesn't seem to be too small (I got 171 apps installed) and still says I can have more.
You should try SD Maid Pro it really is a great app to clean the remains if you are rooted, you might get more space that way.
Still, it's good to learn something new and might be useful in the future if you could share how to modify the partition size.
EDIT: I can't really work on my phone now. It's kind of my day to day phone.
just go to the link http://www.droidgyan.com/development/ everything /lots of information for MTK chipset.
