Simple steps to a super stable and fast SGS2 Android Phone - Galaxy S II General

Okay, I may not have 1xxx number of posts, but I read, search, and try. If you're going to judge me from my number of posts, please grow up.
Aside from that, I've tried a **** load of configurations on my SGS2 since I got it in January(2012).
Including but not limited to:
Siyah Kernel, all kinds of mods, and configuration sets from various great tweakers out there, such as MagicPrefs and others.
N.E.A.K kernel, Dream Kernel by team Sky Fire, Dorminax, and many, many others.
I've tried many roms, Stock, CheckROM, Hydrogen, AOKP, CM7-10, etc.
After all of that mixing, matching, testing and using, I've finally come to a conclusion on the perfect build, that makes your phone super fast, stable as a rock, and best part is, it takes minimal tweaks. I've noticed the more "tweaks" I've loaded my phone with, the more, uh..funny it gets in terms of compatibility and issues down the road. And remember, tweaks don't necessarily mean improvement. At some point, I couldn't keep a phone log for more than a few days from the amount of flashing and changing I did..
So here it goes.
At the time of this writing,
ROM
cm-9-20120819-NIGHTLY-galaxys2
Start clean of course, wipe everything and install.
Kernel
Stock (the one that comes with the ROM above)
If you want to tweak the kernel or something, use the built-in Performance menu. I usually use ondemand/conservative on 200-1200. When I need super battery saving mode which is rarely, I go down to 200-800.
Tweaks
V6 SuperCharger
This is where all the magic happens

For the installation, it may seem overwhelming with the weird structure of information that tries to appeal to the advanced and novice, but its really simple(and friendly ). I suggest skipping the step one, the one that says about installing fixed su binary, and the whole "Super Charger Starter Kit" I tried it and it messed up my Super User instead, go straight to installing the script, works wonderful.
Other small tweaks which don't change the performance per say, but if you like a fast reactive phone, I recommend you try this:
In developers menu, set all the Animation scales to 0.5x from the default 1.0x. It simply speeds the animations. And if your launcher supports animation speed adjustments as well, such as Nova Launcher which is what I use, use Fast animation settings as well.
DPI
Many of us like to change the DPI, I recommend 213.
Why? Its the same as the Nexus 7, meaning you wont have to go through funny hoops to get Google Play Store working, and its decent, not too big nor too small.
Tip
If you hold the phone with the left hand, you're blocking the wifi chip antenna which is located in the bottom left of the phone. Try using a right hand grip on the phone when you're low on signal strength.
Use the app GetRIL app, it will suggest a matching Modem with your network for your phone.
Thats all. If I'm to sum the past 8 months of experience into one super knowledge of ultimate wisdom, this is it. No funny weird bugs. No 50 million kernel tweaks that don't seem to be doing much other than making the phone more unstable, etc. Only thing I miss is having a volume boost. I keep Voodoo Louder for that, but of course Siyah's built in free volume boost is great.
From here on, its preferable you know what you want in terms of apps. install what you need only. Nothing more, nothing less. If an app seems problematic, freeze/uninstall it.
And really, enjoy your phone. Forget flashing a new build every 6, 12 hours, or day or two depending on how severe your case of flashing is, and use it as its meant to be used.

Lol, simple step for a stable S II is, ditch ICS and go back to Gingerbread.
Nuff said.

V6 Supercharger is useless on our phones.

Hi,
I have pressed the thanks button but anyway, thanks! I read the post this morning and actually, im on MIUI 2.7.18 now, dont really like it but for the last month or so i havent found a rom, not even stock, that works properly, i usually use cm9 without any mods but it hasnt worked properly eiher, the thing is that it did before, well, anyway, im talking too much for what i want to say, just to say that i havent had time to flash back to cm9 but on miui V6 SuperCharger works like a charm! At least its much faster! Thanks!

Yeah I got slightly confused and overwhelmed at first too. All you gotta do really after installing CM9 is:
Download SManager
Download the V6 supercharger script from his thread, and rename it to end with ".sh" and place it in your internal storage root
and thats all the files you need. Use SManager to run the script with the su button on.

I've been using it since my sgs days. IMHO, it gives you boost. Some devs actually use the sqlite script which is also present in supercharger. Any rom can use the script. You have to run the script. However, if you have super su installed it may break its binary which could give you issue. But I think it can detect whether you have super su and it will abort the su binary installation. Believe me your phone will fly.

Supercharger plays around with minfree values and hence it's effective on phones with less RAM. GSII comes with 1GB which is more than enough for ICS or JB.

It does more than just that, but regarding the RAM, you can't really have enough RAM. 2 GB would obviously be better than 1.
The other day I was playing Dungeon Defender Second Wave, and I got a call while I was playing, so I hung up and guess what? The game exited. My brothers S3 (2GB ram) can handle that no problem.
So I tried this with Thunderbolt script with LMK set to 60MB I think, and I was able to multitask the game and a phone call, while still on the same hardware.

Jeezuz! How can anyone understand what to do?
The OP of V6 Supercharger thread is just a fragmented mess off different things, why is it not just simple?
Usual XDA members, think everyone knows everything about phones or you're a lazy sod who can't be arsed to read.
Well I have tried to get it working and read the complicated mess and after I tried to install starter kit which aborted, so then tried running main script like OP said he did, through script manager, said busy box needed updating and took me to site, installed it, ran again, still problems with busy box???

Download the supercharger starter kit then download script manager from play store. Open the script manager with su permission. Browse the folder supercharger kit from sdcard. The kit should be copied into the internal not to the external card. From the kit folder run the startmeup.sh with su permission. Then follow screen instruction. If your rom has super su icon, you don't have to install the su binary. However, if you mis this portion during installation the process abort its installation coz the script is auto detecting of the su binary. Cheers mate after this restart phone and it will fly.

Thanks, but after all that, its put me off even more!
Why can it not just be a simple apk or zip that automatically does all this messing about?

You guys should check out this script V6 SuperCharger !! HTK & BulletProof Launchers!
I'm not sure that many of you know about this script... I recently ran into it.
XDA Thread Link. It's called V6 Supercharger. If you wanna read all the nitty gritty go for it. I'll just tell you what to do for those that just wanna jump to it. It is developed for the Milestone, but memory configuration works about same.
Get this file right here and rename it so as to remove the .txt extension (it was added to allow upload on XDA).
Now move that file into your SD card.
Open up [or first download if needed] Script Manager.
Run the script that you have in your SD card, and be SURE to check 'Run as Root' as WELL as 'Run at Boot'.
When the prompt comes you can read the different presets there are. However, I strongly suggest going with just typing 2 and press enter. It will fix your current memory groupings and put your default launcher as priority 0 with apps and stuff at 2 [meh not exact but something like that].
Then it will tell you to reboot after all the scrolling of text. Do, so. I swear I don't ever get a single lag spike anymore.
THANKS zeppelinrox
(I had nothing to do with this script, just referring you guys to it).
This sounds pretty awesome, has anyone successfully tried it on the EVO, and does it truly make a difference?
I'm trying it now...we'll see
Holly Santa clause ****.!!! Works on my evo running Mik 4.6.2 smoother then butta!! Thanks bro!!!

I wonder if this will fix the launcher lag on Virus ROM B .1.1 someone try it out and post back results.
Yeah, I'm interested in the Launcher part, because regardless of Android version or rom, ADW and LP always freeze on me whenever I restart the phone.
It typically fixes itself after a force close so it's a not a huge issue, but it'd be nice to get rid of it.

Messed up my stuff a bit. Had to undo. Oh well.
End of line.
Although sense seems to be smooth on the kingdom port after running this script my apps seem to be really laggy. Like the Xda app, when I'm scrolling it studers a lot. I'm pretty sure it had a little lag before running the script but i don't believe it was no where near as bad as it is now. Is there any way of undoing it without reflashing the ROM? Thanks.

Running CM7 Stable. Seemed to increase speed/smoothness slightly, but may be more noticeable on Sense.
I uninstalled Autokiller before executing.

are you sure you checked off 'Run as Root?
read throught the OOM (out of memory) mappings within the script and try a different memory range. I would say try option 1 or 3 then... But there are 3 others with less aggressive groupings.
Hey...when does this have to be run again?
Obviously not after reboots, after wipes??, after flashing??
How do U check that it is in place?
thanks

Good question, I'd think if you only wipe the caches it would still be there but that's just a guess. Won't hurt to run it again though.

V6 SuperCharger Memory Fixer

Not sure if anyone has seen the following Script that @zeppelinrox has made but I have tried it on my Evo 3D and Transformer and it works great! No more home screen reloads!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I run it on my 3d and my wife's evo 4g, but I haven't tried it on the transformer yet. I'm gonna have to try it. It works wonders on my wife's evo but doesn't make a huge difference on my 3d. I also tried the 3g booster and kick associated kernel tweaks but It ended in freezes and reboots that deleting the script's wouldn't fix. I never tried just using one of those 2 scripts to see what was the problem, I just restored a backup. I know the 3g tweak didn't help those cuz after multiple speed test it was the same or slower than before.

Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940
and follow the steps starting @ Step 1.
When you get the script running there are like 10 choices to choose from. I did choice #6
Thanks I think I git it running before this post but not sure the impact of my option. I chose 2, which was no waiting or something like that. Not sure if it harms anything but I haven't seen a home screen redraw.

I think that option is for the actual script run speed, so you can read the print-out. After that are the actual 17 choices of the script. I could be wrong about the 0/1/2/3 option, but I think it's just to let you select how fast you want the script to actually run and print.
Just applied this today on my TF, used option 6 as well, not really sure what the effect is yet as I didn't really have problems to begin with.
i use option 8 and it feels faster with dock especially

At best this does nothing to improve your TF. In actuality it screws with the way android handles app management. Its likely to create more problems than it "solves"
And because the "dev" of this script requested.....I did install this and had to wipe and reinstall my rom to get rid of the mess it made.
Closing this - NO need to spam the board by placing this in each and every device you can imagine. This belongs in Android Software/Hacking as it's not device specific.

NEO,s done an Incredible job and of course everybody else who was in on the development.
Only issue I had was the boot-looping after flashing the battery and Icon mods, because they work on a different framework than V8 does. Had to re-flash the ROM to fix it!
But I'm sure they'll have that worked out shortly as well, with Video and audio recording, other than that this ROMS smooth fast and has been stable all day, with 0 defects from telephony and texting or e-mail as well!

As of right now this is an issue with all the ICS ROMS. ICS for some reason returns this error if you have only or over 512MB of system memory used for applications. Move the largest to your SD Card through app manager until you have 450 or less used on internal app storage.
i'm still curious what magic lagfix your using when those convert samsungs own Filesystem to Ext4. this isn't samsungs file system. this runs on Yaffs.
also the battery mods work fine. you just can't flash them back to back with V8, must flash them after booting the OS then going back into CWR.

another thing I'm having is: when I turn on the Wifi my phone stays awake all the time, even when I turn it off (keep wifi on during sleep is already on Never). only when i reboot my phone then it stops to stay awake (and will do the same thing if I'll turn on the wifi again)
Was thinking about giving it a try, currently running another ICS based rom.

If you can get a full benchmark of over 3000 using V8!
Then you need to post full settings for all of us who are running V8!
And BTW there isn't any lag fix for V8, only for V7, that's why Neo came out with V8 36 hours later, to address the framework and instability issues!
Get your facts right!!

I installed version 8 a few days ago. It is fast and FC issues is reduced. GPS fixed really quickly at times and other times takes forever.
But the main issue is this.
I have a problem with the muffled voice when making calls. It's on/off. Voice goes from muffled to being robotic. It was so bad that I had been resorting to texting almost exclusively. This seems to happen more when I receive calls and less when I make calls.
Anyone have this issues. Is there a way to fix this.
Trying to isolate the problem. I reinstalled several times. This time I have not restored any backups. But still the same result.
I apologized for posting this here ... I can't post directly in development yet.

Well, I looked at your profile, and it shows that your NOT A DEVELOPER, NOR HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING TO THIS COMMUNITY, EXCEPT RUNNING YOUR GATOR!!
First of all, the dialect was between the OP and me, NOT YOU!!
Evidently you have nothing better to do than be a troll here with your ability to contribute nothing more than being RUDE and arrogant, this was nun of YOUR business Dickweed, And your stupidity knows no bounds!
Why!!!! Because the quadrant score isn't about speed, micro brain, but gives a relative indication of how your phone is set up, and performs in all aspects, and allows a user of the quadrant, get it= the name quadrant test multiple areas of the phone.

CM 10 and customizing the phone

Just installed Quarx remarkable cm10 rom and am shocked at how stable and useable it is. However i have a few questions and so if you know the answers help me out please.
is there a better default launcher (basically i had cm7 set up with custom icons on the apps on the home screen and also was able to fit 5 or 6 apps across the width and am wondering is there anyway i can do this now in jelly bean)?
is there anyway i can get the app drawer to scroll down instead of sideways?
how the heck do i get rid of that annoying google search bar at the top of my home screen?
why is there no dsp audio settings for bluetooth? is this a bug or something that hasnt yet been implemeted?
EDIT: Oh yes and what has happened to the ability to long press the buttons like search that will launch a custom action?
and rather than start a new thread... just in case i decide to bail back to cm7 kang will i need to install the froyo kernal first in recovery? for info purposes i am using a red lense defy and the gingerbread kernal i flashed before installing cm10 is the first time i have ever flashed a kernal.
Launcher
Use Apex Launcher..much better than the stock launcher...u can also remove the search bar in this one

thanks for that will give it a bash
anybody else know the answers to the other stuff.
edit:
ok wow i have just installed apex launcher and i have to say it is gonna take a good evening of sorting out there are that many options. i like it. so cheers buddy.
however i am getting this horrible lag when using the phone. sometimes it is taking upwards of five seconds for the phone to acknowledge a touch. it is extremely frustrating especially coming from c7 kang when everything and i mean everything was virtually instant. not sure if this is sort of normal expected behaviour considering cm10 is only a few weeks old but if it carries on and despite the fact i love it i will be forced to return to cm7.
you can use nova launcher it is very beautiful.
dsp setting can be reached from the music player app or from google play music app
for other tweaks, you should wait for the new nightly ROMs to bring

I've tried both. The latest quarx rom and now i'm on epys lates rom.
I'm use the holo launcher hd - it's optimized for jb and works perfect.
In both roms is the dsp manager present. For bluetooth settings you have to scroll right.
The ability for the buttons can be found in epys last build. I didn't found them on quarxs 08/04 build.

in your experience would you say epys is more stable than quarx.
i think part of my problem is that i used titanium back up to install a fair few apps with there data and maybe if i hadnt i wouldnt be encountering so many slow downs and lag but i hasten to add that i was already seeing it on the rom before i restored the apps so i dont want to blame it totally.
by the way i have found the bluetooth settings so thanks mate. i simply opened the app and it was there so i aint sure how i missed them first time off!!!
no you are right quarx build doesnt have the buttons set up as yet.
i may do a wipe and start again and may even try epys build but epy seems to be busy with other things and i dont want to be using a rom that is no longer supported. if i do i will give holo launcher a bash although i am mighty impressed with apex. already i have been able to set up the homescreen as before and the app drawer is back to one long vertical scrolling list. so we are getting there.
what i dont seem to notice is any sort of hwa going on in fact my experience is the phone runs a lot choppier and slower than when i was using cm7.
another alternative is to go back to cm7 and use one of the ics themes which in all honesty doesnt seem like a bad option to me. i will decide over the weekend when i have some time to play around. thankfully thanks to the recovery it is pretty painles to switch between builds once you have set them up.

hmm that looks great cheers mate. i will give that a try some time very soon. dont know how i missed that... thats what happens when you stop keeping up to date with development for a few months. once i had skanks cm7 installed and the phone just ran so so so well i just ceased to pay any attention to what was happening.
not read past the initial post but there it says it is for ics but i am taking it is also compatible with jelly bean?

I'm running Epsylons 06.08 build and it worked :thumbup:
Jelly powered.Defy
ok i can only imagine i have screwed something up using titanium back up because the lag is actually making the phone unuseable. i simply havent had time to fix it but i will have tomrrow and the first thing i am gonna do is a full wipe. i think i am also going to try running both epys and quarx and also use both the froyo and gingerbread kernals and see which combination works best. i am also going to remove titanium back up. if it cant handle restoring user apps and the data between platforms then it is of no use to me because google will reinstall all the apps on its own.
so i must have simply screwed it up because nobody would use the rom if it was as bad as it is on my phone. i also dont like the no wifi tethering deal. that is something that is extremely handy and if it doesnt work then even if i can get cm10 running smooth as silk then i will most likely not use it as a daily. another bug bear is the lack of flash support. i use the iplayer a lot and the fact that one needs flash to use it means jelly bean may be a step too far. i guess i want to get it running properly because it annoys me when things dont work right and by my very nature i am forced to try to fix it (it is almost a genetic defect of mine). however as i say if i cant use wifi tethering and flash then i probably wont run it as the rom i use daily.
does anyone know if ics is the same? is wifi tethering also broke with cm9?

in CM10 u can use some tehter-app from PlayStore, someone in dev thread say it worked. CM9 is the same as CM10 for me with tethering, but I really don't use it more than twice in three month.
titanium backup is bad if u restore more than the apk on CM10 nightlys, it totally ruins the system if u came from other ROM, had the same issue. I use it for apps that not from PlayStore, it's ok for that.
Jelly powered.Defy
right installed the froyo kernal today with the latest 08/08/2012 nightly for the mb525 and i have to say there is a world of differnce. it is now running pretty damn silky and although it is lacking one or two things it is quite amazing for a build only 3-4 weeks in development. tomorrow (was super busy today) i am gonna give the ics builds a crack and also the gingerbread kernal cm10. i will then decide which one to keep.
obviously i didnt use titanium for squat diddly which i think helped.
i did try barnacle wifi tethering before and it didnt work but then again so many of my apps didnt work after the restore that it may have been that. i will give it another bash tomorrow.
really like the defy recovery app. not used this before and it makes managing roms and backups pretty sweet eh. have to say i am impressed with the level of development still going into this phone despite it being quite long in the tooth. i would have changed it months ago but there isnt anything out there built quite like it. if only moto would upgrade it make it slightly thinner, give us a better camera, a dual core snapdragon 1.5 cpu and a 4 inch screen but keep the same thin profile bezel and superb build quality and i would buy it tomorrow! i did for a week trade it for an atrix which at the time was the flagship but i sold it and bought another defy because the build quality was just totally second rate compared to the defy.
come on moto i can live with your locked bootloader and non existent support (assuming the same old same old lot of devs also came along for the ride). just give us a decent updated version sit back and watch the coin roll in.
ok i can confirm that barnacle does work and that is me sold on this rom and will now use it as my daily.
decided against trying ics because it isnt gonna get an official cm release for the defy (i dont think) and even if it does all the work is now taking place on cm10 so it doesnt make sense to drop down a release.
have to say i used the defy rom updater for the first time today. talk about being spoilt. man that app is just so damn good. i was able to back up my phone and update to the latest nightly and i didnt have to do anything in recovery... it even rebooted the phone for me!!! super stuff.
Is anyone with wifi problem?

need a bit more info mate. what is the wifi problem? in general i have no wifi issues it connects to my network and reconnects when the phone is turned on and stays connected when i am using it. so i dont.
i have decided to stay with the side swipe for the app drawer instead of going back to one long list. it makes a refreshing change.
i have also been discovering that on many apps there is a side swipe to get quick access to the next bit. the classic mistakes i have made are with the dsp manager and es file explorer. i was touching the tabs at the top instead of just swiping the screen left and right. the more i try this the more i see many apps have implemented the same useability.
another real palm job is the alarm. i have for years been tapping the plus and minus sign to set the right hour and minutes in the alarm. recently i discovered that i could simply swipe it down or up. quite mad really that i have wasted so much time without realising it.
cm10 is now running well with next to no issues. what a difference a wipe and totally clean install make.
Removing Google Search Bar
You can remove the persistent google search bar by going to Settings>Launcher>Homescreen and deselecting the Search bar option.
Hello.
I've been testing JB during this week, and I would like to know a way to remove the config button from the notifications screen, because sometimes the clear all notifications button is not visible or accesible. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks :cyclops:

v6 Supercharger on a stock rom

Is it even possible to install v6 supercharger on my stock rooted R800x? I tried to use the scripts to set it up and run it and it basically all bombed out and said access denied etc. The preparation script wouldn't install busybox, etc. Any tips?
Are you rooted?...I just installed this not 10 mins ago and its working fine..unless someone beats me to it...ill find the tutorial I used and link ot here.
I also just did it manually, I didn't use that starter script.

Yeah I'm rooted, I tried the starter script and it said it was working but a lot of stuff said "permission denied" , i mounted system as RW and I gave it SU permission. Then I tried to run V6 and I got it saying a similar error and a warning that i shouldn't continue so I killed it.
ok, well I used this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334834
it may be a bit out of date on the GUis..like when its asking for run as root it is really an SU icon. but its straightforward.
and it worked just fine...let me know if its still not working for you, ill take screen shots and post them here if you are having troubles still.
i find it funny that when i started using this my endurance level on the GO power meter app went from 64 hours @ 100% batt and only the phone, and auto brightness before i used this up to a big jump of 99 hours..this was using the holo launcher, then i was trying the smart launcher and it dropped back down to 63 hours..just didnt make any sense..but i guess ill keep fiddling with the script until i find something that works.

I tried to do it this way and not only did it seem to not do anything, it gave me a bunch of errors as well:

Will try your way later when I get home.
You should use the SuperCharger "Starter Kit" first. I had similar issues with the Supercharger script and it was because I had a version of BusyBox that seemed to cause issues with the script.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
I also encountered an issue while installing this "Starter Kit". It seemd to have had issues getting access to the folder where I had the files. I moved them to the SD root and I was able to install it then. After that, I ran the supercharger script and it worked perfectly.
I am on a R800a with locked bootloader and Stock Rom.

Yeah thats the one I used sorry I'm an idiot. I think the R800x may behave differently.
In the link I put the post ler said to use 1.18.2 busy box seeing as the ones above that gave errors....so ifar I haven't had any problems.

Yeah I changed to 1.18.2 and that worked, thanks for the tips.
Next question, do I need to run that 99supercharge on startup? Everything goes by so fast and its all a bit confusing.
After installing the v6 script. Go to the /data section on the internal in the script manager and after all the folders there should be a script that relates to the v6..set that to run as root and run on boot and you should be set. Glad I could help.

V6 Supercharger settings on stock ROM ?
Hi there,
Anyone can tell me what setting options they use when running the V6 Supercharger script on a stock Sony-Ericsson 2.3.4 ROM ?
It is crashing on me here and I had to recover through ClockWorkMod...
I have a R800i XPeria Play by the way...
Thanks in advance,
Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far (dated from yesterday, ok... ), I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I made the same on other threads related to a similar subject.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings (script configured to run at boot as super-user) :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,

Not exactly true, that part only referred to the launcher status, you had the option to make it completely unkillable, which means that some intensive games just wouldn't run.
I myself am supercharged and it has no negative impact on gaming, so don't worry about using the script. I'm pretty sure I'm using the same values as you, and they work perfectly fine.

Oh many thanks !
I now understand the note appearing within the script.
For heavy gamers, the Hard-to-Kill launcher may even be better than the die-hard one... I should test this.
Anyway, I move to the 512hp unledded agressive settings to boost free ram available for my DeadTrigger and I am having great fun with almost no lag at all on a stock rom, stock kernel.
The fact I combined the V6Supercharger with the Bloatware remover for XPeria Play is helping a lot. Recommended !
Anyone knows what are the differences between the various Kernel options ?
I went for Rock and Roll Kernel as I didn't know if my kernel was stable enough for the Rockhard option...
Something I would have to test I guess...
Bye for now, :good:
I have stock rom and when i run the script i only get supercharge level at 50%, I even tried that patch jar thing and that does not work either
i get a message see owners guide and in that it says error 3 , i do not know what that is Can someone help me please
