edit: Most devs have added this to their roms already so don't be surprised if you find it in the build.prop already.
So I saw this mentioned in a tweet by the dev for Launcher Pro:
To get really nice smooth scrolling on your Eris add the following line to your build.prop:
Code:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
To add it into your build.prop follow these steps using your adb tool:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop
(Go into your tools folder and open it with notepad. Add the line I posted and save.)
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
Reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, and start the phone up. This can a while to boot up right after because of the wiping dalvik cache. You should notice that scrolling on your phone is much smoother.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE. IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE DOING THIS (it's unlikely!) I AM SORRY BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU.
I currently have mine set to 70 and it's not any noticeably smoother than 60 that I can tell but it is stable so if anyone wants to try bumping it up to 90 or 120 feel free.
Thanks for the advice last night on this Hungry Man. I did this and notice a definite difference in the scrolling. I moved my Launcher pro scrolling speed down now from 100 to 45 because I no longer need it high with this fix. I also didn't wipe Davlik after pushing, but the file is in there when looking with Estrong file manager and the scrolling is definitely better now..
Thanks again..
Glad I could help! Wiping the Dalvik cache isn't really necessary I suppose, I just find it's good practice after doing anything to your build.prop to avoid possible glitches.
any reason why this wouldnt work on other devices?
Where exactly do I add this line? Thanks.

Just add it to the end of build.prop file.
Worked, I thank you for the reply and to the OP for the info.
Twidroyd
Could I get someone to fire up Twidroyd after applying this patch? Seems to cause super-heavy lag+slowdown in scrolling, but it appears that Twidroyd is the main offender.
This seems to work just fine for me. I guess it seems smoother... I can't really tell. Definitely not laggier.
Wouldn't you be able to open the build prop in something like Root Explorer's text editor and get the same result? I'm just not around my regular computer with adb setup... Thanks.

You have to remember to make the directory R/W at the top of the screen.
Can't really tell if it made a difference. Has anyone experimented with setting the number even higher?
EDIT: Upon further review, it seems to have made my scrolling slightly smoother but also more likely to 'hitch'
Yeah, I think this is what I was seeing in Twidroyd. Scrolling is smoother in a list you've already scrolled through, but will stutter as it loads new table cells (a guess on my part, but it seems to make sense.)

Thanks! Rebooting now....
I think it's likely that if you aren't overclocking your phone may not be able to handle the extra load. If you aren't overclocking your phone or you're usually on a low cpu setting try chaing to 50. Anything above 35 will increase the smoothness, though not to the same extent. I don't suggest passing 60, I'm at 70 and the differences are negligable.
As for the lag and stutters, I haven't experienced that.
I did it. Didn't break anything, but didn't really seem to change anything either.
I have seen a huge difference in smoothness in screen scrolling as well as app drawer. I have large amt of apps and app drawer flies. One thing though I do not have a space before or after the equal sign on my line. Some of you who aren't seeing a huge difference take the spaces out and see if anything changes.
Hi All,
Enjoying my MT4g on Tmobile. I am interested in rooting my phone and getting the CM7 (Gingerbread) on my phone.
Before I jump into the guides, I wanted to know that is there a way to get back to stock TMO (that came with the phone) just in case I dont like CM7.
Secondly, is everything working on CM7 builds? Are there still any parts of the OS that do not work (wifi, camera etc).
Thanks and would appreciate any guidance on the above 2 questions.
Thanks!
Step 1: Do some reading, both of the RC1 thread and the Nightlies thread, and the CM7 FAQ. There are people who are having problems, there are people for whom things are perfect, and there are people for whom things are usable.
Step 2: Be sure to use the CORRECT version of ClockworkMod Recovery. With the exception of the specially-created 3.0.0.6 version that supports both Froyo and Gingerbread filesystems, you MUST use 2.x for Froyo based ROMs, and 3.x for Gingerbread based ROMs. This includes backup/restore as well as flashing.

I would suggest watching a video tutorial a few times if you have never rooted a phone before. If you are comfortable installing an OS on a computer then you probably won't have any trouble rooting.
You can always go back to stock if you like. Make sure you follow all the steps for the root procedure. I'm pretty sure grankin posted up the unroot procedure with the root procedure. One of the steps is saving a backup of your original phone settings. Keep that in a safe place.
I'm pretty sure CM7 isn't stable yet, but most everything works for that ROM. Wifi Calling and almost everything else. As always read the updates to see what the developer has fixed (or is working on) If you don't like a ROM you can always find another. That's pretty much the beauty of the whole thing.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys. I will go ahead and refresh myself with all the guides and tutorials in here...Last time I was doing this was 5-6 years ago with the HTC MDA Win Phones
Thanks!
Seems like we're in a similar boat with root....
This site rules. I learn so much here and yet there's a ton of info so just to be clear....
I have a myTouch 4G. Is it worth rooting JUST to remove some of the stock apps (Amazon MP3, etc.)? Is there any benefit to be gained from doing that if I have no other reason that I want to root right now?
Thanks in advance.

Just rooting the phone will offer no performance changes. The only thing Rooting does is give you [the user] Super User access.
With that you can do massive performance upgrade with s=off. but nothing Rooting Only will do.

I haven't rooted my MT4G yet, but I had a rooted and modded MT3G for a long time. I would read A LOT through the guides and threads involving rooting your device, because it seems like you don't know too much about it. But in short - rooting alone does nothing but give you super user access to the phone, which in non-nerd talk means you can control things about the phone that you couldn't do before rooting. If you then want to remove bloatware (as well as do anything else like flashing roms etc), it will require further steps. Again, READ READ READ (and WATCH WATCH WATCH videos).

I totally understand there is more required than just the rooting. And I really really appreciate your post. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is just if there is a benefit to removing bloatware? Maybe it's not really a "to root or not to root" question so much as a "will removing bloatware improve my phone at all" question? If there's a better place to ask, please point me in the right direction?
Thanks again for all the help.
There is no performance benefit to removing bloatware if the application is not used. It just consumes space on the internal SD device.
Rooting and then disabling those apps merely ensures they won't be run.

Titanium backup is a paid app that can remove apps after root (Monopoly, Asphalt 5, etc) Most ROM's you install after root have these apps removed.
Also it's pretty nice to underclock the phone to give you some great battery life. Really nice to set a profile when the screen is off that it slows the clock speed.
I like the videos here
I don't think he uses the new gfree method of rooting though in his video...
grankin posted a video with the root procedure on his post I'd look there.

This is extremely helpful. I have lots and lots of research and learning ahead of me, but this at least gets me in the right direction. There's a lot to sort through.
Just one thing: @2Noob4U - what is the "gfree method of rooting"? I thought you could achieve root with VISIONary?
You rock. Thanks again.
TB does not remove system applications. It "Freezes" them. This marks them disabled in the Android package manager so they cannot be executed, and wont' be seen by the launcher / app drawer.
I mentioned disabling bloatware earlier in this thread. You can use TB to "Freeze" and "Thaw", or you can use the "pm disable" or "pm enable" commands from a terminal emulator.
Disabling a system application is significantly easier than removing it. Plus, removing it may break a dependent application. Yeah, removing Monopoly and Stock won't break anything, but you may decide some tool in the app drawer is unused -- but it is actually used by another app unbeknownst to you. Disabling is safer. Removing requires mounting /system in read/write mode, which is cumbersome to do manually with a mount command, but can be done from adb or Root Explorer.
TB's Freeze/Thaw is available in its Pro version.

I read back through the thread and I'm not 100% sure I found the reference to bloatware, but this is incredibly helpful.
To make sure I'm understanding correctly, I could:
- Root my phone using VISIONary
- Get TB Pro
- Freeze (or Thaw to reverse) any unwanted apps
Would this improve performance/storage in any way or simply remove those unwanted apps from the drawer?
thanks again - as always.

Removing or disabling will offer little performance upgrade. Androids work much like a computer does. Just because the Application is setting on the phone doesn't mean that it is using any resources other than memory. The only thing you will gain by removing or disabling those application is the memory that they are using.

1- yes
Download and install VISIONary.apk
Temp Root with VISIONary
Download Ti/Backup
Freeze or delete any unwanted application
and yes other applications will be able to use that space. IF you delete them. If you freeze the no. They are still in the memory the CPU will just not pick them up.
First off, I cannot take credit for finding this, I was referred to a bug report thread on the Google Android site by XDA user aweaver33, who I thank VERY much for pointing me on the right direction.
So, several of us have had this issue with various custom kernels, where after typically 24-48 hours, the phone would slow to a crawl. If you were to open an app like System Panel, you would see that the CPU load was pegged at 95%+, and speed would be maxed out. You would also see that the process using all the CPU is Android System.
The problem has to do with the file "time_in_state", which literally keeps track of how much time the CPU spends at any given speed in MHz. There is a limit to the size this file is supposed to reach, 256 bytes. Once it exceeds this size, the next time Android tries to access it, it flips out and gets stuck trying, and pegs the CPU. A lot of devs and users blamed SetCPU, and it is true that SetCPU does have an EFFECT on this issue, it does NOT cause it, and indeed the issue can occur whether SetCPU is installed or not.
The issue is brought on by custom kernels that add additional frequency steps for the CPU to choose from, which causes that log file to grow. Which is why older or stock kernels will not cause this. Some ROMS incorporate a workaround so you may not have this issue.
Anyways, the issue is explained better in the link aweaver33 gave me. I will link to the original thread I posted with the conversation we had and the link he gave. I can confirm that, using the info he gave me, the issue has been fixed. I am currently just over 120 hours of uptime with no problems.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082363&highlight=stock+kernel+gpu+
EDIT: attached the script files for those who want them. You can drop one or the other (NOT BOTH) in /etc/init.d if your rom has this folder already (creating the folder and adding it won't work), or you can download Autostart (root) from the market for free, and drop the file in /data/opt (create the opt folder). This difference between the two is one runs only once at boot, the other runs every five minutes. If you use SetCPU, you need the one that runs every five mins, as every time you open SetCPU it resets permissions on the time_in_state file.
flashable zip? not everyone is comfortable with code and scripts
If I knew how, I would. I wasn't even comfortable with it. But I was so tired of the locking up, I was willing to try anything (after a Nandroid of course). I'm not sure you *could* do this in a flashable zip. I can post the script I'm using. It only runs once after reboot, unlike aweaver's, which runs every five mins (good if you're using SetCPU, as opening SetCPU resets the permissions of the time in state file).
This script should work if dropped into /etc/init.d. *If* your ROM has that folder by default. Mine does not, so I had to download a free app from the market called Autostart which is free and very small. For that app you create a folder in /data/ and drop the script in there.
Sorry guys but I'm no dev so this is the best I can do, maybe someone else can make it flashable?
would it also be fixed by simply deleteing the log file as well rather than setting it to unreadable

Issue 9733 is still listed as New, so either Google hasn't fixed it in Gingerbread or they just don't bother statusing their bug reports.
Why do you feel the need to delete it? If you are trying to delete it, you are likely using Root Explorer. Why not just use that to change the permissions of the file? Tap and hold, select permissions, and unchecked all permissions except for the top left one. This will stop the bug, but the permissions will be reset after a reboot, or after opening SetCPU.
I imagine that deleting the file might actually cause FC's or may cause the same bug but I dunno since it wont delete.

I've never created a flashable zip before, but I'd be willing to look into it if the demand is really there. The problem I see is that I'd have to make certain assumptions about how everybody's ROMs are configured. It looks like the most portable approach would be to append a line to the end of /bootcomplete.inc.rc. Do people really find it easier to boot into recovery and flash a zip than to add one line to a file themselves? Personally, I'm always hesitant to flash a zip other than a full ROM because I'd be uncertain how it interacts with other changes I've made to my system.

Uninstall with titanium telephony.apk and phone.apk, in that order. You will get FC and just reboot then and you will be okay. Does it save battery life? That is up to speculation and probably not. Root explored can be used also to do it. Just delete these two files.

The app I posted it is something that can be turned on once and will set airplane mode for cell while allowing wifi and bluetooth to function as normal however you want them set, even on a reboot.
It has been proven that many times removing cell (or other main) features can affect the ability to use other applications. My solution was clean, simple, and would affect nothing negatively. BTW, I was using it to avoid the wifi dropping issues that some have seen periodically since CM was first put on the NC. So in my case, it has been providing more than one useful capability.
I feel that people should open up their mind and follow up on other ideas before narrowing their and others minds to only one solution....

I'd just like to ask folks not to remove CMStats. Its obviously your prerogative but it helps CM developers track usage. This isn't just for bragging rights. These numbers help us in talks with OEMs to quantify the importance of things like open bootloaders and such. We are starting to see OEMs cooperate with CM and I think tracking usage has helped.
CMStats is not invasive and doesn't hog memory or CPU cycles. It is open source so you can feel free to verify my claims.
First and foremost thanks to wildstang for the how to for this mod. His original thread can be found here. He told me a long time ago I should do this on the Eris and I kept putting it off lol. I've made mods up for a handful of ROM's so far and will do more as I have the time or on a per request basis.
For starters here is a little about this mod:
1. What does this do?
This modifies the services.jar file located in system/framework, that allows you to have an un-throttled data access. You don't have to worry about modifying anything yourself.
2. Will this make my Data faster?
In some cases, YES. This has NO effect on actual phone signal. This only takes the throttle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
Sort-of. This will cause Force Closes when you try to select Mobile Network in Settings. Thats the only thing you should notice. You can still kill Data with a widget or any other sort-of alternative way you want to. This should not physically harm your phone though.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY HTC Droid Eris ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, ask your dev. In any case you may send me your services.jar and I will look at it for you.
Recommended Install procedures:
1. Place Rom on my SD Card along with DTR.
2. Reboot into Recovery.
3. Wipe everything that is supposed to be wiped.
4. Flash Rom.
5. REBOOT THE PHONE.
6. Skip setup and go straight to settings.
This part is important!!!
7. Go into Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks.
8. I set my data to always connected and data roaming on. Set yours to your preferences now.... keep in mind once you flash the DTR you will not be able to access this menu! Thats why its important to do it now!
9. Reboot into Recovery.
10. Flash the DTR and reboot the phone.
The key is to do all of this as quickly as possible. The reason why is because as soon as you boot your phone, your phone will start syncing. Its syncing your contacts and other stuff as well. Some of that other stuff also includes where you are on your usage of your data plan. If it detects that you are over limit it will then activate the throttle process. A little more on this. This DTR does not actually REMOVE the throttle per say. It simply removes the files that the phone system uses to BUILD the throttle. Without the needed throttle files the phone won't be able to set up the throttle which in turn means you will be running at full network data speed. Now do you see why this is important to do this quickly?
Now for the links.....

In some cases, YES. This has NO effect on actual phone signal. This only takes the throttle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
Sort-of. This will cause Force Closes when you try to select Mobile Network in Settings. Thats the only thing you should notice. You can still kill Data with a widget or any other sort-of alternative way you want to. This should not physically harm your phone though.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY HTC Droid Eris ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, ask your dev. In any case you may send me your services.jar and I will look at it for you.
Recommended Install procedures:
1. Place Rom on my SD Card along with DTR.
2. Reboot into Recovery.
3. Wipe everything that is supposed to be wiped.
4. Flash Rom.
5. REBOOT THE PHONE.
6. Skip setup and go straight to settings.
This part is important!!!
7. Go into Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks.
8. I set my data to always connected and data roaming on. Set yours to your preferences now.... keep in mind once you flash the DTR you will not be able to access this menu! Thats why its important to do it now!
9. Reboot into Recovery.
10. Flash the DTR and reboot the phone.
The key is to do all of this as quickly as possible. The reason why is because as soon as you boot your phone, your phone will start syncing. Its syncing your contacts and other stuff as well. Some of that other stuff also includes where you are on your usage of your data plan. If it detects that you are over limit it will then activate the throttle process. A little more on this. This DTR does not actually REMOVE the throttle per say. It simply removes the files that the phone system uses to BUILD the throttle. Without the needed throttle files the phone won't be able to set up the throttle which in turn means you will be running at full network data speed. Now do you see why this is important to do this quickly?
Now for the links.....

As always.. What you do with your phone is strictly on you and no one else. Always do a nand backup before flashing in case you have issues or want to undo what you've done.

This and zepp's 3g turbocharger
Do I need to stop turbocharger before I flash this? and is this any different than the turbocharger? I did not see much of a difference on the turbocharger, and should I clear cache before I flash?

No you don't and no they aren't. Turbocharger for the most part is build prop tweaks to boost the data connection. This is a modification of the smali files within services.jar to remove the android internal data throttle.

Thanks for the head up
I am using your rom, so no worries lol. and when you said that it will break the mobile data. does it mean that if I turn off mobile data on a widget, I can't turn it off or does it mean I just can't get to the settings and do it there?

español?
why are some apps in spanish? is it just my phone or did I accidentally clicked something? like when I click voice search it is in spanish. weird eh?
seems like it is only google voice search.
It did make a difference, but you said that we can't access the menu of the mobile network. I went and clicked in there and I did not see a crash. is it that I can't change anything?

Did you make sure English is the selected language under "Language and keyboard settings"?

little off topic
gonna try this now, hey CS just bought and incredible on eBay and looking forward to trying ur other roms. Hows the supraROM looking? I love "sense" but your others roms are just so darn fast and stable I will probably just load the incredible Condemned CM7.
Thanks again for all your hard work

Supra kinda got put on hold for a little bit but I'm getting ready to start working on it again this weekend. Cm is running real smooth but has a bt issue I'm trying to straighten out. It's been a bug in the cm build for a couple of months now though. My personal favorite of my 3 roms for dinc is 666. It's based on the gb update and is every bit as smooth and fast as cm imo. Look forward to seeing you over there. You'll love the phone. It's sweet

I take it this would never work on the thunderbolt because of 4G LTE?

I don't see why not... If you tell me what ROM you're using or send me your services.jar file I can make up a test one for you.
OP updated with new links... Getting much better reports on these this go around
I am doing much better. I used to get 100kbps and now with dtr and i guess 3g turbocharger by zepp. I get 900kbps-1mb!
