this is the exact same thing as rom manager from clockwork
Way more options than Rom Manager. Should be quite useful. Thanks Linsalata. Will press button also.

You need to look through all the settings the ROM Manger part is just one window on the app this has a lot more options then rm.

Looks nifty. Seems like it has a few more features to it than Rom Manager does by itself.

Just downloaded it and changed my fonts in a jiffy. Looks nice at first, will see later if it brings any ill effects. I think some of the parameters as vm heap size and autokiller size are best not played with. Anyone know how to avoid app names in app drawer being cut off after font change, or is it impossible to avoid with fonts other than default?

You would need to change the size of the fonts there is a app for it on the market I don't remember the name off hand.
And I used it to change vm heap with no problems I've used fix permissions as well and it seems to work.
I've played with some other things as well with no issues so far I really want to know if the battery icon changer works I'm on deck 1.3d right now so no point to try it but it would be cool if it does and the dev adds more icons.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Is there any reason to fix permissions even if you don't get any force closes? I think rom developers assign the needed values themselves so I'm not comfortable doing it and potentially compromising roms stability. I could change wireless scan interval. Also it would be better you posted in general Android forums.

What? No.
The free app is OK, but all of the useful tools are unlocked only in the paid version.
I have a question,
You guys know that ROM manager requires CWM. Now I have Amon_RA on my phone, if I install this app will it try to replace my recovery or will it use what I have?
To use Tom manager you have to use clockwork .. it will force an install.

Abit more explained: the minfrees do stick, but i get the "launcher is......so....weak..... " after each run. As far as i know, it should be, launcher is HARD TO KILL?

what it does??? does somebody need ram? why? there is always almost 200MB of RAM free. So our devices have 353MB and it's onli less than 30% used so i think nobody needs any of app or script to free ram why you buy phone with more ram and you do not allow phone to use it?

Ok, here are some tips to improve your mobile's performance.
1) Root your phone if u haven't.it voids warranty though. And it worth it.
2)install/flash cyanogenmod 7.2 (cm7) i prefer nightly .it's very good.
3) use Launcherpro coz of its very fast speed. Also customize it abit by increasing scrolling speed and app opening speed. You'll feel the difference at once.
Adw launcher is also good.
Liightning launcher is fast and very customizable but u have to set it up first.
4) don't install any task killer app coz android itself does that job for you.
5) before doing anything e.g rooting or overclocking, READ ALOT, yes, you must read alot through different forums about what you want to do. Don't rush into anything unless you don't know what you are doing.
6) clear cache oftenly using cache mate (for root users only )
7) keep backup of your apps and data using titanium backup or Go backup.
8) use setcpu for overclocking. I use max 729 min 352.
Use app No frills Cpu control
Governor: smartassv2 for cyanogen and smartass for stock for better performance and battery.
9) disable autocorrect coz if heard that it does slows your wildfire.
10) dont just try different roms if you're a beginner. Cm7.2 is just perfect in terms of speed and performance.
11) use Go sms pro because it is more interactive than default messaging app on any rom.
12) best sense rom is rempuzzle rom while best aosp rom is cyanogenmod 7.2.
13) Best file explorer ( sdcard + root ) are Es File Explorer (free) and Solid Explorer ( paid ).
Oi File Explorer is best for sdcard only.
14) Nova launcher is the best ICS launcher.
15) always make a nandroid backup of a rom if u flash different roms.
16) in terms of battery saving, best rom is kwbr rom.
17) rempuzzle is another great sense rom with improved GUI. Jokerdroid 4.2 and 4.3 are also great.
18) fastest browser is Opera mini.
19) you must have xda android app
20) avoid using Rom Manager. Always use Recovery.
21) learn about link2sd if u prefer cyanogenmod.
22) best video player is MX player. Alternative is QQplayer.
23) best music player is Simply Music for me.
24) u can have beats audio in all roms e.g kwbr rom
25) best twitter apps are tweakdeck, twicca and official twitter app.
26) for Facebook, use "friendcaster for facebook"
27) try Flow Bridges and Flow Connect. Very addictive games, including super flow free (numberlink)
28) if u love auto correction/prediction than use swift keyboard.
29) for gallery use Quickpic.
30) if u wanna experience windows phone 7 then use Launcher7 or launcher 8.
31) for Google news, try g-news app.
32) screen filtre. Must have app. Reduce brightness for using mobile at night.
33) if u use more than 1 launchers than use app twisted home manager to toggle b/w launchers.
34) try drag racing game. Very much fun.( Note: for better performance, u must overclock).
35) for screenshots, use app "screenshot ux"
That's all for now.
Would love your suggestions too.
Press thanks if u find any tip helpfull

As I said that I was going to continue this thread, here are few screen shots on how to perform trick 4 which is opmizing launcherpro.
On homescreen, click on menu > preferences > advanced settings
And do this : 1) increase minimum scrolling speed.
2) vincrease opening speed (both of them) ...
See the sceenshot. Thank you

Definitely, you're right.Reading on lengths on this forum should be normal for anyone who is new to this, including me.
It's just my 6th day with an Android phone and these tips i found out through different forums and i tried to compile them in short and easy bullet points.

I've settled on FH after trying out a few ROMs, and so far so good. I see that one of the apps installed is Pimp My Rom (alpha) and looking through it I saw some tweaks which I would like to use (GPS and lock some programs in memory).
I get the feeling that the options are not "taking" (for the lack of a better word), and even after locking the contacts and phone apps in memory, after using other apps for a while it is clear that the phone app has been killed, as it will take 1-2 seconds to start.
Reading up on PMR, everything suggests that the tweaks should be selected in Aroma during the ROM installation process, which definitely wasn't the case.
How can I apply these tweaks?
Did you inable scripts?
Init.d
Theres a section in pimp my rom this needs done first

Can't remember a setting for that - is this in aroma during install or in the app?

aroma is not more used by pimp my rom,as the author stated.. i got problems in my case too, can't lock apps in memory at all..
the author said this
You can try the build.prop way of locking apps in memory : (discovered this one recently, will soon be added to the app)
Code:
sys.keep_app_1=com.package.name.of.desired.locked.app
Here's an example, let's say you want to lock PmR :
Code:
sys.keep_app_1=com.androguide.pimp.my.rom
I enabled init.d and there seems to be some improvement. The other suggestion is a bit beyond my capability at the moment, but I'll get there.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Nope, after some use the dialer got closed and took a while to restart when I wanted to make a phone call.
Am I locking the correct process/app in the memory?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I had same results with pimp my rom as well as non working build.prop edit.
You could have your own reasons for not using it and that's fine. But just in case you didn't know about it, off topic, Jkay framework + JKay Deluxe app is the sure way of locking (whitelisting) contacts and dialer in cache.
JKAY DELUXE [I9300XXELKC JB 4.1.2]
That looks great! Only reason why I'm not using it is cos I didn't know about it

Coming from the N900 phone I have came across many hacks but none quite as simple as one called Swappolube. All it does is make small changes to the kernel with in turns make the devices overall functionality smoother. The tweak is more or less explained Here.
Personally using this tweak I have personally experienced more overall responsiveness and fluidity in my XPlay. And My battery Life has been over all...better. I do not expect it to have the same effect for everyone, due to several reasons (overclocking, faulty devices, too many background services etc), but personally I have experienced phenomenal changes in my plays responsiveness, aside from using seeder.
Some Notes:
1) Using Seeder with this script may actually be very beneficial.
2) Values reset when you reboot, (I'm new to android, so I have no idea how to make this script run at boot time without using an app )
3) You will need a rooted device.
4) Use a program like "Script Manager" to run the script.
I have always wanted a N900.... even though its now 3 years old, the device has always looked nice and seemed like a neato toy to mess with. You still have that N900?

I think if u hav init.d support on ur Play u could just delete .sh extension & put it in the init.d folder. I'm sure it'll ran automaticly on boot.
Edit: Plus i think u need to add this line on the top of the script to make it ran.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
Happy tweakin'.

Thx man. Truth is I changed the values manually, then uploaded the script. I've just updated the script to include "#!/system/bin/sh".
To be certain that the script ran, simply check these files to see if the values have changed:
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness | 30
/proc/sys/vm/page-cluster | 0
/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode | 1
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task | 1
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs | 0
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs | 0

Could you check the files in proc/sys/vm to see if the script ran? The read write permissions on the script may be wrong....Cant tell right now as I'm in work, with a very limited computer....
Hate to break it to u man, but most custom rom already hav these tweaks in thier build.prop. And it does givs some smooth effect. I think it'll made the diff if it ran on stock. Then again they wouldn't hav init.d support & there's isn't an easy guide to help get that on stock. Mybe i should make 1 or not.

Figured as much. Well I guess it would only be useful on roms that haven't had the tweak. I'm using NXT LE rom which didn't have the tweak. Some values were already there but most of em weren't. :/
Mybe there's a reason why it dosent hav those tweaks. Mybe u should consult krisdee as to why.
Anyway, thanks for sharing. The best thing bout init.d support is u can just throw a bunch script & just let it ran. And just hope there's no conflict between all of them.

I am on my own heavily modified stock ROM and it has init.d support..... but for some reason the script you posted didnt work...... perhaps I can maybe manually add or change them.. Anyways thank you for sharing... perhaps we can all collectively get it working.
In the begin of the script remove: script
At the end: end script
Then it works

I edited the file with your recommendations and uploaded it here. Going to test it out....
Edit: Still did not work... bummer.....
Ok. This works.
Instead of adding this,
Code:
#!/system/bin[COLOR="RED"]/sh[/COLOR]
U should only just add this.
Code:
#!/system/bin
Just delete the "/sh" mark red as above & try it with SManager. Then u can put it in init.d folder for auto ran.
Edit: Ok. It didn't ran on init.d. Need to re-write it with proper command in order to make it ran on init.d. I'll upload it when i finish it. For now just use SManager & set it on boot. I dunno why it matters though. But i'll try me best to help the community.
Edit: Its hard when no nothing. So mybe we just let those with proper knowledge re-write it for init.d support. As for now, just stick with SManager & set it on boot.
Edit: It wont work even after i set it on boot. Mybe there's some conflict with build.prop or other init.d tweaks. So need to ran it manually. Again, if this really does benefit much to us Play then we need help to add init.d support to it. So...till then..

No....it changes the way that memory is swapped, very slightly. It doesn't kill any tasks whatsoever. Truth is, it worked for me, if it doesn't work for others, i don't really care :/. I posted this to see if it would help others. Before this script I would loose 5 - 8% a day leaving the phone on standby. After this script, I loose 1% a day standby time, also lag all in games were significantly reduced and my phone stopped overheating too quickly. Big claims I know, but as i said, if it doesn't work for you, just move on....didn't think that getting such a simple script to work on a device would be such a pain, and frankly I'm not even gonna look into it. Far too busy with work and university.
if this is about OOM n swappiness, will it still working or get benefit if the ROM already supercharged using v6?
