Fixed - Home launcher being killed when memory is low.

I worked a little with pastorbennett in PM's on this issue. First, I flashed his ODIN image for the Continuum Froyo 2.2 ROM (great work, pastorbennett!).
After working with the image, the only issue that I noticed was my home screen/launcher would "respawn" (linux term). Essentially, the launcher would be killed in the background when I was using another app, and when I returned to the launcher, it would have to restart. This was adding about 10-30 seconds of time to launching another app. I mentioned the issue to pastorbennet and he pointed me in the direction of the local.prop file and hard to kill home (HTK home).
FAST FIX INFO: (For those that don't want to read!)
NOTE: I use Auto Memory Manager (AMM) to check the Out Of Memory (OOM) setting for android.process.acore which is where the home launcher resides. The original setting for mine was 2.
1. MUST BE ROOTED! (Obvious with the Froyo 2.2 ROM, but...)
2. Use the terminal app to gain access to the file system.
3. Type the following into the terminal:
a. su -
b. cd /
c. echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 >> /data/local.prop
(There is a space before and after the >> !)
d. vi /data/local.prop
e. Press VOL-UP I to enter edit mode.
f. Press VOL-UP F to move to the end of the line.
g. Press the <ENTER> key on your keyboard to add the blank line at the end of the file.
f. Press VOL-UP E, then type :wq and press <ENTER>
4. Reboot. This should work from this point on, and remain static through subsequent reboots.
Long Winded Explaination
I did a little google research and found a cache of great information from zepplinrox about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276. He essentially has created a script to do all sorts of memory saving/enhancing things.
After reading through the great OP, I decided to manually enact the local.prop file change (adding ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 to the file), rather than running his entire script and potentially mucking up my nice clean Froyo system.
Problem number 1. Where is the damn local.prop file. I couldn't find it at /data/local.prop as he said is where it should be located. I googled some more and found this post: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cyanogenmod/145493-missing-local-prop.html#post1501687, where it says that one must CREATE the local.prop file. Oh, okay, that makes sense...
So, I created the file by echoing ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 >> /data/local.prop and I added a blank line at the end of the file. This is required because if the blank line is not there, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 line is deleted on reboot, for whatever reason.
I used Auto Memory Manager (AMM) to check the setting of the android.process.acore process. It showed OOM Priority=2. Damn! So, I rebooted. SUCCESS! OOM Priority=0!
So far, I have not had an issue with my home screen/launcher respawning on me.
Caio!

Hey Moon Shadow. Thanks for figuring this out! I can't take any credit, you did all the busywork on this.
By the way, I love your avatar! Is that a Springfield Armory Loaded in Black Chrome? I'm a huge fan of 1911's!

Hehehe... Okay, so we are WAY off topic... Springfields are nice weapons, but I just like the feel of the Taurus... I know, I know... A 1911 is a 1911... Plus, at the "show" it was about $150.00 cheaper than the Springfield.
Nope, never visited the site. My usual site is USACarry.

I agree Taurus different feel that seems more....comfortable...natural idk but it fits my stocky Hupa hands

[How To] Increase Performance on the Touchpad

All credits to the original author. I'm just sharing what I found.
Instructions: (by James Kendrick at ZDNET)
Extracted Quote:
Open the Phone and Video Calls app in the Apps tab on the launcher screen. Once in the app select the DialPad tab and enter the following in the dialer like you would on a phone:
##LOGS# (##5647#)
Hit the green Dial button.
On the subsequent Collect Logs screen, select Change Logging Levels
Hit the Set Logging To Minimal and confirm
Your TouchPad just got a lot more responsive as HP took the tech support approach to log virtually everything behind the scenes to make debugging things easier should things go wrong. There is so much event logging in the background that it seriously impacts the TouchPad’s performance, as it is constantly doing things it doesn’t need to do. The setting you just changed reduces the amount of logging that is going on.
______________________________________________________________
NOTE: You can further enhance the performance on the Touchpad by installing a few patches on Preware. Instructions to install Preware [Here]:

Thanks, I correctly-clocked* my touchpad to 1.5GHz and made some other small tweaks, and it is always hard to tell for sure but changing the excessive logging seems to have made a perceptible improvement
*I don't want to say OC because 1.5 is the suggested speed, HP was just trying to save some power. I don't want to scare off people who typically don't overclock (like me) because the 1.5 clock speed really is worthwhile and as safe a mod as they get.

I didn't realize that some of this tweaks are mentioned in the OC thread under the General section. . I'm not a fan of over clocking unless I really have to. I find that after these tweaks acceptable in terms of performance as compared to the performance out of the box.

Here's a good guide I wrote up: http://briefmobile.com/speed-up-the-hp-touchpad
Basically walks you through patches and overclock. Really smooth after all that is done.

Posting for the trail. Thanks for this.

I installed the 1.5 overclocking method, and I went to get my touchpad off of the touchstone and it was very very hot. Removed the uberkernel and it was fine. Any ideas?

Done all of the above except the missing "DialPad tab", so I couldn't change to minimal logging. I've the 32GB model.
BTW, your instructions there has an error on the dev code mode, the numbers provided is wrong. It should be 20060909 instead of 20090606. Confirmed from the image provided.

You wont see a dial pad until you have either connected the tablet to a phone via bluetooth, or logged into skype.

FYI, some folks (myself included as of this morning) have unexpectedly starting having an "Unable to download email" error after applying the Muffle System Logging patch. If you search, most folks say you have to do a full reset. However, I just found the following fix that doesn't require a reset:

[Q] how to make the screen rotate faster?

Hi, there
i just switched to cyanogenmod nightly #203 and its really awesome speedwise.
the only "problem" i have is the auto screen rotation.
its so slow compared to iphone for example.
its not a problem of the rom i think, because the stock rom is rotating slow too.
one the other hand, when start the camera its rotating very smoothly.
is there any way to speed that up? i searched on the web but couldnt find any useable fix for this.
thanks!

Lol our wildfire is a cute device na. Its processor and ram is just basic. We can't compare it with a phone that have almost double the potential and ofcourse double the price. ( but with half the features of android os ) more over iPhone is an eyecandy phone. I mean apple give more importance to its GUI and look. So its a must that it should have a speedy interface.
For your sake of knowing, own an android costing some where near to iPhone. Like sgs2, HTC desire z, or some thing with 1+ ghz processor and 756+ MB ram. And android 2.3 or higher. Then feel the difference.

Installing/Using:
1. Download the attached V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt script and save to your sdcard.
... Do NOT run the V6 SuperCharger install script at boot!
2. Load the script (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt) into Script Manager and select "Run as Root."
3. Touch the screen for the soft keyboard or slide out the keyboard and get SuperCharged! Just pick an option!
4. READ the script's output!
5. Afterwards, READ the html HELP FILE in the root of your SD Card!
6. Disable "Lock Home in Memory" if your ROM has this option.
7. Optional: For a quick status check, you can put a Script Manager widget for V6 SuperCharger on you desktop
Install an app called 'Script Manager' from the market. There are both Free and Adfree versions (i.e. paid) available.
Here's another guide with screenshots, incase you don't get it:

[GUIDE] | [11 JAN] | V6 Supercharger Installation|

Here is the link to download the latest version of the supercharger script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
Note : Look at the 7th post for some added notes.
Note : If you want to learn how to powershift (shift quickly and easily) between different supercharger settings and how to place script manager widgets on your home screen for powershift, follow the guide in 8th post.
Go to the end of the post and download "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC4.sh.pdf" and if you don't know how to use it I'm posting the instructions:
First install busybox installer by JRummy from the market. It has both free and pro versions. I use the free one but you can download the pro one if you want.
Now run it and install Busybox v1.18.2
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next place the downloaded file "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC4.sh.pdf" at the root of your sd card.
Now install "script manager" from market and run it. click browse as root and you'll a screen something like this:
Now click the script and run as root. The screen you would see would be something like this:
512hp settings are recommended since we have 368mb of available RAM. I personally prefer option 6 which is "balanced" as choosing option 5 which is "multitasking" freezes your phone when you play high end games since apps are not thrown out of memory when RAM is required which results in lag. So, unless you don't know what you are doing, just go for option 6.
Read whatever is coming on the screen and in the end "superclean and Reboot". If it doesn't appears on its own, choose option 30.
After reboot to check if the script is running or not, again run the script as instructed above. and if you see that the Prior V6 minfree values and current minfree values matches then the script is running fine.
The following screenshot may help you understand:
If you wish to install nitro lag nullifier then the following screenshots will help you. I personally didn't find it very useful but you are free to try.
Now return to driver console and choose option 30 which is superclean and restart.

Nice guide I just want to add that I tested this script on the latest cm7 nightly for two weeks. In the end, it bogged down the phone and cm7 handles memory better than this script does.
I would stick to non cm/aosp roms only with this script.

I find it useful with sense roms as aosp roms don't need to manage a whole lot of resources like sense.

You missed that for the script installation you need busybox installation

Couple of things... you should probably use build.prop instead of local.prop... it works better. Also, newest version of busybox works fine. The reason the old one was meantioned is because there were problems for a couple of versions after the recommended one. Same deal with local.prop... since the G2 doesn't even use it. zeppelinrox's guide is rather old. Either way works fine but just from personal experience, build.prop is better along with the latest version of busybox. Just install the full version from the app. Also, 512 balanced is great for normal use but you can (and should) use the 512 aggressive for games and even 768 super for heavy resource games like ShadowGun and stuff like that. Also, you should meantion powershift for quick changes between 512/768 versions (minmax)
One last thing.... here is the beta for RC5: goo.gl/Ss8Py
Thanks for a good guide and also, of course!, to zeppelinrox

I prefer to use build.prop in case local.prop doesn't works but as far as I have used the script, I didn't find any problem with local.prop so just a note for those who are not getting the script running with local.prop, script will itself ask you to use build.prop in case local.prop doesn't works. However if you want to use build.prop instead just read the instructions going on the screen and choose to use build.prop when prompted.
Regarding the newest version of busybox, I would recommend to stick with v1.18.2 unless you have something very specific which can't be acomplished with it.
Unless zeppelinrox says its fine to use. It may be fine for some and not for others, so for the moment stick to v1.18.2
Since our device just has 512 mb RAM onboard so i would suggest to stick with 512hp settings unless you are going to run heavy resource consuming app or games or anything.
512 aggressive settings are a good suggestion if you are going to play heavy resource consuming games like shadowgun or MC3. But that is not a good suggestion for general use as it may cause Rosie restarts as it will kill most apps running in the background.
So, if you want to use that, switch the settings after you are done in the same way as directed.
I'll try to update a guide about how to make a widget for it once I find some time.
As quoted above "Also, you should meantion powershift for quick changes between 512/768 versions (minmax) " I didn't understand what you want to say. Would it be possible for you to elaborate a bit?
Thanks in advance
And above all thanks to zeppelinrox for making such an awesome script.

Powershift and SMWidgets installation Guide
Powershift is a feature of supercharger script through which you can easily shift between different supercharger settings.
Now on a first note there are four possible options to us. These are:
512hp UnLeeded : Multitasking (apps are not thrown out of memory easily, this is useful for multitasking but may result into lag once you have run a huge resource consuming game such as asphalt 6 or modern combat, etc.)
512hp Leeded : Balanced (this is the eprfect compromise between multitasking as free available RAM for foreground application. Apps runnign in background are killed once free RAM is required for foreground applicastion.
512hp Super Leeded: Aggressive ( this makes the foreground application god of system and almost any no. of background applications can be killed to free RAM for the foerground application. This is useful for playing 3d games on sense roms)
768hp Super : This is not intended for our device since this setting is for devices with 768mb RAM onboard but sinogr has reported that it's useful for running huge resource consuming games as shadowdragon on sense 3.5 roms.
So feel free to use at your own risk.
So taht's for the info, now lets get to the implementation part.
First step is to run all the above mentioned settings in the supercharger script atleast once to enable them in powershift. What I mean by this is that run supercharger script and choose above mentioned settings for your device atleast once and then you are set to go.
How to do this i've already explained in my first post.
This is how the menu looks like:
Now you have to choose option 23 which is powershift.
Once it is complete, exit the script and go to the powershift folder which is located in /mnt/sdcard/V6_supercharger/
Now all the four settings will appear in this folder as shown below. In my case I have already run then as root and marked then as favorite so you might see a different icon. Don't worry for that.
Now click the script, click root and favorite as shown below and choose to run.
Once you have run all the scripts and marked then as your favorites you'll see a screen something exactly like this once you go to powershift folder.
Now exit script manager and go to an empty home screen, long press on an empty area untill the widget box pops out like shown below.
Install SMWidget addon for script manager from market and choose it from the widgets list.
Once you'll click it you'll see a screen something like this:
Choose "Run one script" and choose one of the available settings out of the four as shown:
Repeat this procedure until you have selected all the four settings.
After you are done, your home screen will have four widgets as shown below:
Use them for easy switching between different settings.

Yeah, alot of it is a matter of opinion. Whichever works best. The script gives you the option of either/or so... the end user can pick and decide what works best for them. PowerShift (aka option 23) lets you quickly switch minfree (yeah not sure where I got minmax from lol!) values. They are located in /data/v6_SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts folder. You can locate them in script manager app and add as favorite or create widgets for them. Basically, it quickly switches between 512 unleaded, superunledded, super 768, etc... without rerunning the entire supercharger script. Good for gaming, multitaking, or balanced.
Been running the RC5 beta for over a day now and it works pretty good. Might be worth a try for some. Oh, and I do use CM7 and it works nicely. It does help to Engine Flush or reboot once a day. But I use alot of resources (somewhat like Sense) so I guess will only help some AOSP users.

Wow... Nice guide
Reminded me to update the user prompts about powershift script location.
I now have things more organized and only a couple of main files remain in /data
Most stuff got moved to/data/V6_SuperCharger folder - which has a powershift subfolder - so it's more of a mirror of the sdcard file structure.
btw for RC5 test 3 I've bulletproofed the bulletproof apps feature LOL... works FLAWLESSLY!
Havent uploaded it yet... just watch the twitter box in my sig

I run Energized Blue 4.0 based on RCMix with Supercharger V9 RC5_test2 (Balanced, option 6 + lag nullifier)...much better results, though not entirely sure why. Plus, did "unsupercharge" before going for version 9. With version 8 I used to "miss" some sms and had to install ghostly.
And thanks for the great guide + thx to Zeppelinrox for the awesome script

The guide is equally applicable for RC5 test2 AFAIK.... If you find something different, report it here....

If i use this script can i also use auto killer memory optimizer app or with they just cancel eachother out?

Update to my prev. posts: still missing sms, figured it out when Ghostly SMS got it and the stock Sense 3.5 did not...happens to about 5-10% of sms + very likely when music player app is being used (likely sucks memory like mad).

The whole point of the script is to make apps like that unnecessary. Definitely not recommended.

Hello, my name is Doc....and I am a recovering lurker!
First post ever here! (Would that be Step 2 or 3 in the recovery program???)
Anyhow, I have been lurking around XDA for quite some time now, mostly just absorbing A LOT of fantastic information, and although it is not much I thought it was time I shared back!
Please keep in mind, that I can offer no promise of support. (These are mods I did for myself and figured others may appreciate them.) The main reason I have never participated here before is time, as in I don't have much of it! (Single Dad, 2 jobs, and all that jazz) I will do my best to help out (and keep contributing), but there will often be periods of time where I simply will not be around to respond. I am not trying to be an ass, just honest and up front. If there are any issues with what I share, I don't want people getting angry because the OP wasn't around to fix his stuff!
I have been using these for a few weeks now and have had no real problems, so I am fairly confident that they should work for the rest of you. Once I reach my 10 post limit I will move these into the Development section since it seems that very few people even vist these other areas anymore. I will also post links to the original threads where I got the mods.
If any of these have already been done for our phones please let me know. And of course, if anyone knows of a better way, or has any ideas, please do share!

Volume Stepping Increase and Smooth Scroll (Framework.jar) -(Thanks/Credit to AndroidON)-
The Smooth Scroll portion of this will disable ScrollingCache for the whole system. Apparently it was not implemented as well as it should have been and I find my Slide really likes having it disabled. (i.e. Under Settings > Applications > Manage Apps - when scrolling through the list of apps, it is very very smooth! No more skipping or hesitating!)
The volume portion will not increase the max volume of your Slide, but will allow finer control over the volume. It changes:
Media, Bluetooth and TTS from 15 to 30 volume steps;
Ringtone from 7 to 15 volume steps;
Voice Call from 5 to 10 volume steps. (I am uncertain what this changed, as in-call and speakerphone volume remains unchanged. I assume this may be overridden by another setting or it is not applicable to the custom ROM I am using. If anyone knows more about this, please share your knowledge!)

Thanks to everyone here at XDA!
ENJOY!

Extended Power Menu - All In One Zip - Decompiled files for Framework-res.apk
Here are a couple of more Mods...
All mods are flashable through CWM.
Extended Power Menu (Reboot) (android.policy.jar and com.htc.resources.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to ca1ne)-
My personal fave! This will add an extended power menu...Long press the power button and you will see an extra option, Reboot! Select this and you will get a second menu to choose the type of reboot. Choose from Normal, Hot Restart, Bootloader, or Recovery.
I do plan on uploading one without the htc.resources.apk for those that have already modded this file. The only reason it is included is for the Reboot icon. I made this icon for myself, but it is possible to default it to the generic Settings Gear icon you may have seen on similar mods, which would remove the need for including the extra file.
AllMods.zip - This is all of the mods I have listed so far, in one flashable file.
In my download folder, you will notice a few other items:
SmoothSpinnersMod_Themed.zip and AllMods_Themed.zip - These are the exact same mods, only the framework-res.apk is the one I personally use. (Others provided have not been themed). It isn't much, but I used UOT (Thanks to them of course!!) to spice up my Status Bar a little. Replaced many of the white status icons with prettier colored ones, changed the stock spinner to a Radar spinner, and included the Circle Battery with %.
I had it, so I figured I'd share it!
SmoothSpinners Files.zip - If your framework-res is already modded/themed, this is for you. Unzip the files, decompile your framework-res and copy/paste the files from my zip to: framework-res.apk/res/drawable/ Recompile. Thats it.
I know these are fairly minor mods, but I wanted to put them out there anyway in case someone is interested. I do hope someone finds some good use in these.
There are a few other mods I have attempted, but could not get to work on Froyo. I will likely be making the move to SalsaSlide sometime this week. (Finally, right??) Anyway, I plan to bring all of these over to GB as well as a few others I have been working on, so stay tuned!

I know that these are for Froyo, which is probably not being used by very many people here anymore, but I am curious if anyone has even tried any of them and if so what did you think?

Wow! It seems I am a bit more behind the times than I realized! I guess it is time to move on, eh? Ah well, Gingerbread here I come!

Don't be so quick, I end up coming back to my favorite froyo rom because things just work. I loved your reboot mod. I have a request, I have seen other froyo phones with power control widgets on the notification, do you think that's possible on sense?
