CF-Root Tweak Manager Settings

As so many people are using CF-Root 3.2 on GB, I was wondering what tweaks others are using via CF-Root Tweak Manager.
I myself have enabled the following and would be interested in what tweaks othrs are using together with any comments:-
Setting Setting Comment
RAM:Min-free OFF Let Android use up any free memory!
SD: Speed Tweak ON Larger file system cache
I/O: No-a-time ON Don't update access times
I/O Scheduler: OFF Tweaked IO (OFF to see if fixes bluetooth issue)
I/O Deadline Scheduler: ON Appears to make phone more responsive
Kernel Scheduler: ON Fairer Scheduler
CPU Conservative gov. OFF I use ondemand via SETCPU
VM: Swappiness ON Reduce tendency to swap
VM: Dirtyness ON Tune I/O Buffering
Media Stagefright: ON I get no problems with video playback.
Touchscreen sensitivity: OFF Screen fine as it is.
I am using deodexed JVO CF 3.2 (with ext4) with many frozen (and some deleted apps)
Phone is very responsive, no lags (Quadrant for those interested is 2200-2300)

Did you mean TWEAK instead of TEAK on the Title?

??? what value did you just add to this thread?

Good news, it looks like disabling the I/o scheduler tweak does resolve the bluetooth timing out issue so thanks for the tip I read in chainfire thread. Phone still rapid and no issues

Bluetooth not fixed
Damn! bluetooth hasn;t turned on again. Disabling the I/O scheduler hasn't fixed this after all! Had to reboot then bluetooth available again in seconds... Oh Well!

try turn off kernel scheduler.... for bluetooth fix. work for me at least..

Thanks but now gone to speedmod kernel which is looking great

Help, I'm using Galaxy Ace, when I connected to wifi, if I turn off router and phone will get disconnected surely, but its hang and I need pull off battery.
While my friend using stock rom, there is no issue, if disconnected, the wifi icon definitively will disappear... For me not, it will hang... So I need manually turn of wifi setting den turn of router....
Which setting I need to do to make this problem solved?

Hi
Thought I'd share what I found out looking for info on the kswapd0 process and where it keeps its pagefile.
Setting Swappiness tweak will set /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to 0.
Disabling the tweak will set it to 60 which appears to be the standard values found in many Linux distros.
I still don't know where the pagefile is kept though or whether this tweak actually does anything since kernel 2.3.6 has no swap partition support and there is defo no swap partition on gt i9000 anyway so I'm hoping the tweak will make kswapd0 behave differently.

New to N7 quick question.

Hey,
So, I'm using the trinity kernel and Toolbox Pro to set the MHz / governor. It works fine once I set it, if I reboot it resets back to stock settings, even with "save to boot" option selected.
Any help on how to make these setting stick after rebooting would be greatly appreciated.

your rom doesnt include the powerhal "fix", nor does the toolbox pro app. the trinity kernel toolbox includes it, just in case your rom doesnt. anyways, after bootup, itll take 2-4 minutes to restore your cpu settings. so, if you checked before 2-4 minutes after bootup, itll show the default kernel settings. wait a bit longer, then check. if toolbox pro still shows the kernels default settings instead of yours(set on boot), try the tkt app.

Hey thanks! I'm going to give tkt a shot. You can disable fsync with that app also no?

I've had this happen couple of times when i undervolted and on reebot it changes my wallpaper back to stock one and like you said loose app data
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Hi,
Maybe it's due to Fsync off... if I'm not wrong you can set it to on in Franco Kernel Updater (or Trickster Mod). In case of phone crash caused by too much undervolt or something else, you could loose some data. Set Fsync to on prevent this.
To the OP: are you sure that your settings are applied at boot? I mean the option "set on boot" is active in your apps?

i am an stock voltages pac rom and franco kernel, and the fsync is on. i maybe need to do a fresh install, i was just wondering if any one else had this same problem. thank you

I had problems with franco + setcpu, with trickster I had to factory rest...
I'd recommend to use Franco kernel updater app, works amazing..

[SOLVED] How to disable 802.11n in CM11 w/o tiwlan.ini?

Hey,
how do I disable draft n / 802.11n on Quarx' CM11?
I can't find tiwlan.ini in /system/etc/wifi so what to do??
Thx.
SOLUTION: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50426027&postcount=7
Code:
/system/etc/wifi/hostapd.conf >
ieee80211n: Set to 1 to enable 802.11n support, 0 to disable it
Changing this line from g to n helped cyrus:
Code:
hw_mode=g

I can't answer, because I don't know. But may I ask why do you want to do this?

Sure: I always had trouble (already with CM7) with a FritzBox router and with CM7 it helped a lot to disable that. I can't disable it in the router, so I wanted to try that option.

I guess you probably know about alternative firmware for FritsBox routers, but if not, have a look at this site: http://freetz.org/
Perhaps this firmware will let you better configure your router.

Thanks. Yes I do know about that but modifying the router is not an option since I don't have access to all routers I can use as an access point, thats why I pointed out that I can't change the router settings. I need to disable it on the device and that was possible under CM7.

You want to disable the n mode because of the poor performance of Wi-Fi? I ask because I too have poor Wi-Fi performance but no matter what I do changing channels, modes, etc. my Defy doesn't want to download for example a nightly from Quarx site. Is downloading ~5% then stops think then download again and so on. With other 2 phones(Samsung and an old HTC hd2) this is not happening the download is continuous.

No, reason is that sometimes the Defy seems to interfere with other clients in the network (Macbook, other smartphone etc.). Sometimes I do have interupted downloads though.
But I think I just figured out where to change that:
Code:
/system/etc/wifi/hostapd.conf > hw_mode=g
.
If that is correct, it is already in a legacy mode and doesn't use 802.11n.
There seems to be another setting:
Code:
ieee80211n: Set to 1 to enable 802.11n support, 0 to disable it
so I will try disabling that tonight. Exciting!!
Source: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd

Code:
/system/etc/wifi/hostapd.conf > hw_mode=g
Changing this to
Code:
/system/etc/wifi/hostapd.conf > hw_mode=n
I have solved the interrupted download. Thank you very much.

well that shouldn't be possible!
Reason: The N setting shouldn't be set there but there:

Maybe you disabled it alltogether because the switch doesn't exist and as a fallback the device uses 802.11b now... I don't know. If it's good, it's good!

It's not solving the problem.
After investigating more I have seen that after a reboot the Wi-Fi performance is good ~2Mb/s. But as soon as the device enters in deep sleep the download goes down at 500kb/s and is interrupted a lot. Can anyone else could confirm that?
I have tested with quarx2k.ru site.

Which app to control Kernel?

Which app is everyone using to control the kernel?
I rooted the phone and currently using Kernel Toolkit. What i'm seeing from the Kernel Toolkit app is that the settings don't seem to stick for the speed of the cores.
It seems Kernel Toolkit will set the governor but the set speed will jump all over the place. So even after reboot of the phone, I sometimes need to go in and make sure to set the cores again.
Any other app that would fix this issue? or is this normal and no way around?
