NEWS:
Just a teaser to people who use Theme Pro...
I am completely re-building the program in Java, what does this mean?
- Theme Pro will work on every OS, whether it is Windows, Mac, Linux, etc..
- Theme Pro now has a GUI, no more command prompt or terminal windows.
- Functionality and ease-of-use * 1000
I am building Theme Pro from scratch in Java. I am constantly developing the application and I will upload betas on a regular basis. Just because it is a beta does not mean it is dangerous, it just means some buttons do nothing yet
Attached is ThemePro, to run it, just double click it like any application, note it is very limited in functionality but please show your support by letting me know what you think, thanks!

Was wondering if it is possible to copy a framework from a theme and put it into a ROM's framework with this?
I tried doing it manually but BIG **** happened lol.

I'm on it now, will add the ability to sign individual files or entire ROMs.
Now do you mean to sign a file that's already zipped, or signing a folder into a signed zip?
Ok, atm i'm adding the choice of compiling each of the files into the ROM of your choice, all you do is drag and drop the ROM into the window and it will remove the current file within the zip, replace it with your modified one, AND sign it.
Will add after the ability to sign ANY file into a ROM although this required more user input.
Anyone have any feedback on the app?
Looks brilliant cgrec92 ......
not a mac user myself, so i guess you have been asked, but any chance this will be coming to us lowly ( ) PC users ????
great job again...!

v1.6 > Big update on 3G+ tweak addon, more powerful and much faster
Build.prop Worktool - A powerful but safe build.prop manager/editor
Hi !
Okay guys, since I know how powerful the build.prop can be, I love to play with it.
But I was bored to edit using Root Explorer, or using ADB command-line...
So... Let me present you my outrageously complicated (internally) script to manage your build.prop right from your computer, with ease, fun and safety !
GENERAL :
For any Windows NT kernel (Developped under Windows 7 x64... so should work everywhere )
Portable and ready to use - No installation required, all files included (ADB with drivers also)
Lightweight (<3Mb unzipped, because of ADB very big lol)
Tested on XPERA x10i but should work on ANY Android powered device (if your ROM uses a build.prop located into /system/)
KEY FEATURES :
Easy open/edit your build.prop in your default text editor
Backup creation/management
Save backup on your computer and/or on your device
Safe (Automatic backup generator - Manages up to 2 backup files, exhaustive log file)
Automatic permissions management
Add-on capability : possible to add automated installation scripts to tweak your build.prop
List of present add-ons : 3G+ enhancement tweak
Very clean : deletes all temporary files, auto start/stop ADB server and kills the process when useless
Convenient : direct access to this thread, easy to use
v1.6+ : (beta) Build.prop XPlorer, to check with ease your build.prop
I based the main script on my 3G+ enhancement script, available on the official thread.
** As usual... Use at your own risk **
Test, comment, criticize, if you find anything, just drop a comment or PM
FAQ
FAQ- Supported devices
It is first developped for Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10, but it should work on any Android device with these requirements :
* Rooted
* File system is mounted Read/Write.
* Build.prop is located into /system/ and named "build.prop"
Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10 : fully working
Samsung Galaxy S2 : half working (file system is read-only...)
- How it's working ?
The script works generally in this way :
It downloads from your device your build.prop and creates two temporary backups.
Then, it opens one of the temporary backup into notepad, to let you edit all you want.
Once file closed/saved, the file is reconfigured automatically, then sent back to your device.
The script allows you next to keep, on wish, the remaining backup and to reboot your device.
- Is this safe ?
The script makes a backup of your build.prop every time you try to access it. There's also human-friendly log file to help you identify problems with ease.
There is also NO automatic upload to your device : the script will always ask you before if you want to upload the new build.prop to your device. Even if you upload it, backup is stored and can even be stored safely on your device for future use.
- Is this all automatic ?
Yes. The script makes backups by itself, reboot your device for you (if you wish), and of course change permissions. But don't worry : it will ask your approval for any important process
- The 3G tweak makes my connection unstable !
The Manager is based on my 3G+ enhancement script, using "Full Mode". In the original script, there is also a "Lite Mode" for some networks (like AT&T) I included in v1.3.
To make your network stable, the script will disable the two lines below :
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 (will be turned to 0)
ro.ril.enable.a53=1 (will be turned to 0)
To get full details about the 3G+ tweak, check the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951765
Why is there "so many" different batch files ?
It's easier for me to improve/maintain the batch by splitting it into different functions. There's a main script, and subroutines called when needed.
Of course, all the subroutines, including addons, are programmed to be run only from main script. You can run any subroutine separately, but it will mostly crash and create useless files not being deleted. Always run the main script, and do no try to run separately subroutine - not dangerous, but 100% useless/buggy.
- It's not working.
* Make sure your device is :
** ROOTED,
** Full external access to system (su command) [if not, will drop errors like "Operations not permitted" or "file system is mounted read only")
** USB Debugging is enabled,
** Connected using USB and all USB drivers are installed/working.
* You might need administrative privileges in Windows to fully run the program.
* If you're running your device from recovery, you may need to mount /system/ folder before running the script (Partition tools > Mount /system).
- It's still not working.
* Drop a message in the official thread.
* If you get errors about file system Read only, try to run your device in Recovery mode, and fix permissions.
- Will the script create lots of files/make a big drive footprint ?
I hate programs creating lots of temp files. So, the script was developped to create files AND to clean/remove them all once everything is done. Even if it crashes without removing files, you just need to restart the script - it will clean all previous temporary files.
If ADB is run, it WILL be fully closed once everything is done. Server will be killed, then ADB process (named adb.exe) will be killed. Your system will be as clean as it was before running the script.
The script is of course fully portable : there's no installation needed. You can put the script where you want, but you just need to keep all script files/folders in the same folder.
In a future release, I'll add something to purge the log file.
- Which OS is supported ?
It's developped in Windows 7 x64. You should be able to fully run it on any 2000+ Windows NT OS.
As it is NT script, it will work only on Windows computer. It will also not work properly on pure DOS (it's using NT commands and Windows-related commands not included in older Windows NT systems, like NT4).
Report if you tested it on other Microsoft OS (NT 4, Windows 95, 98 or 2000, Dos 6.22...)
- I wanna contribute.
Just right click the .cmd/bat files, edit them with Notepad or anything you want
You can also send me a message (thread or PM) if you notice some piece of code I can improve with other commands (I don't know DOS commands enough )
v1.0 (11/5/2011) = initial release

Known bugs :
* (Main) Will not detect if build.prop.bak and build.prop.old are the same (not very important, I'll improve this later)
* Report anything you find
Developper/Advanced user addendum
(Write in progress)
Backup management
The script creates up to two backups, localed in main directory :
- build.prop.bak
- build.prop.old
Build.prop.old is generated if the script detects there's an existing build.prop.bak, to avoid accidental loss of it.
Build.prop.old is the final backup, and WILL BE DELETED if detected. The script manages backups like this :
1. If an existing build.prop.bak is present...
>> Script will detect for build.prop.old presence - if it exists, it will be deleted,
>> the build.prop.bak will be renamed to build.prop.old.
2. If there is no build.prop.bak detected...
>> Script will generate a build.prop.bak.
ADB Error detection
Error 2 (device not connected) works using a trick - it's not really related to device state.
In fact, the script will attempt to connect your device to download your build.prop. Once it is done - or not - the script checks if a local build.prop file was created. If it's not present, it means ADB encountered an error - about 90% because device is not connected - and will display error 2.
Keep in mind then there is small chance that your error does NOT come of device not connected : administrative privileges missing (don't allow the script to create the file), drivers buggy, ...)
Hi,
I cant use your WorkTool V1.6
It says ADB cmd not found.
v1.7 out, sorry for delay, I prepared it few days ago then I forgot to upload ^^
Really good work

* If you get errors about file system Read only, try to run your device in Recovery mode, and fix permissions.
- Will the script create lots of files/make a big drive footprint ?
I hate programs creating lots of temp files. So, the script was developped to create files AND to clean/remove them all once everything is done. Even if it crashes without removing files, you just need to restart the script - it will clean all previous temporary files.
If ADB is run, it WILL be fully closed once everything is done. Server will be killed, then ADB process (named adb.exe) will be killed. Your system will be as clean as it was before running the script.
The script is of course fully portable : there's no installation needed. You can put the script where you want, but you just need to keep all script files/folders in the same folder.
In a future release, I'll add something to purge the log file.
- Which OS is supported ?
It's developped in Windows 7 x64. You should be able to fully run it on any 2000+ Windows NT OS.
As it is NT script, it will work only on Windows computer. It will also not work properly on pure DOS (it's using NT commands and Windows-related commands not included in older Windows NT systems, like NT4).
Report if you tested it on other Microsoft OS (NT 4, Windows 95, 98 or 2000, Dos 6.22...)
- I wanna contribute.
Just right click the .cmd/bat files, edit them with Notepad or anything you want
You can also send me a message (thread or PM) if you notice some piece of code I can improve with other commands (I don't know DOS commands enough )

Hey mate...
lovely piece of work..!
saved me hours at my work...
thanks a lot works flawlessly on
sony xperia tipo dual with cm 10
Ur da bomb
As you probably already know, you are DA BOMB, BABY!
I just [snicker] used your tool to save my rather idiotic...er, 'brain' from suffering through a dumb, hard night re-flashing SlimKat 4.4.2 back onto my LG Optimus G e970 just to fix something I should've never done to begin with (change screen density to make it easier to read, of course, but without really knowing what I was doing)...
aherm...well, anyway, here I sit at a pre-midnight hour thanking you profusely, sir, because, as I said at the start...
UR DA BOMB!!!
Here's hoping you get bored a lot more often...it's a keeper, fer sure.:victory:
Good work dude... Nice toolkit, loved it very much... I am integrating your tool into my new upcoming toolkit. Dont worry i am not gonna steal it, will just use it. Will surely give you proper credits for that
Does this work with the stock recovery without root?
My device: Xperia XA2
thanks for this useful helper. i know how to modify build.prop - thats not the reason why i came here. what i don't know is the meaning of all this different entries in build.prop for example ro.expect.recovery_id - which there was a catalog with information about included in a build.prop Tweak GUI
sorry but the program cant detect/ acces build.prop
my device is rooted, has debugging on and is connected via USB
plz help
New: SANE (USB Scanner backend and drivers) - OTG equipped device needed to work for this - YES, Scanner Access Now possible and Easy with your phone
This can (in combination with tesseract-ocr) be very useful to recognize text from scanned images.
For pictures see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23046120&postcount=187
Update 01/30/2012: Now with a small android app (ScriptStarter) to start services and other shell scripts easily from the GUI. See bottom of the post.
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH THIS SCRIPT:
With this bash script your are able to build relatively easy from source a lot of native software (over 90 at the moment) from the GNU/Linux community for your Android phone and you will have
the good experience with free software.
All these tools and programs are not "apps for the GUI" for Android but native running command line tools "under the surface" of your Android GUI like the kernel and other services.
Don't ask me if it makes any sense to install program xy (like MySQL) on a phone. This is your decision. It's possible, so try it and see what you can do with it.
Note: I tested most of the compiled software on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (my phone). I cannot test it on a variety of phones because I have no mobile phone shop...
Currently buildable with this scripts (abstract, see the full list in package_selection.conf):
PHP 5.3.10 (with almost all extensions and XCache)
MySQL 5.5.19 (if you want a full database server on your phone...)
lighttpd 1.4.30
OpenSSH 5.9p1
OpenSSL 1.0.0f
Samba 3.6.3
cURL 7.23.1
bash 4.2
BusyBox 1.19.3
ImageMagick 6.7.4-10
OpenVPN 2.2.2
Python 2.7.2
Node.js 0.6.7
git 1.7.9
Wget 1.13.4
Rsync 3.0.9
TCPDUMP 4.2.0
Midnight Commander 4.8.1
Pure-FTPd 1.0.35
screen 4.0.3
iptables 1.4.10 (without bionic bug "getnetbyaddr()" and with iptables-save/restore!)
BIND 9.8.1-P1
Lua 5.2.0
Ruby 1.9.3-p0
usbutils 004
MTDUtils latest git
GCC 4.6.2 (c, c++)
GNU Coreutils 8.14, Binutils 2.22, Findutils 4.4.2, Inetutils 1.8
QEMU 0.15.1
SANE 1.0.22
tesseract-ocr 3.01
...
a lot of libraries, development tools and other useful programs
...
FEATURES:
automatic download and untar the cross-compilers (if not already done) for cross compiling
automatic download and untar the source packages (if not already done), that you have selected
solve dependences and reserves additional needed packages
apply patches to the sources if necessary
build them, "install" them in a folder for later "ready to transfer" to your phone and stripes the binaries and libraries to reduce the filesize if selected
autogenerate a tar file and adb push the file to device if selected
allows you to use well-known software like PHP, MySQL, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, bash and lighttpd on your phone (see the full list in file package_selection.conf, see attachement)
scripting and development on your phone
no limits with BusyBox (without want to be derogative, BusyBox is a wonderful tool), full featured tools like Coreutils, Binutils etc.
build scripts are expandable with other or newer packages you eventual want to have
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q: Do I need native GNU/Linux programs and what is that?
A: If you do not know what native Linux applications are, then stop here - you don't need them.
Q: What can I do with these tools?
A: Many things. As a developer you can use the libraries to include them in Android GUI apps, as user you can start for example a webserver on your phone and write some HTML or PHP pages
just for fun or replace BusyBox with full featured tools (or only some commands).
Some tools are also very useful to find network errors, check the network traffic and many more.
Q: What do I need?
A: A Linux installation (VM or real), some Linux knowledge and a little bit time to read all instructions carefully. A rooted Android device with enouth free memory (ext2/3/4 formatted)
See README for details.
Q: Costs?
A: Nothing. The scripts are Open Source (GPL v3), the packages are GPL licensed or under a similar license. The cross-compilers are Open Source or free to use for non-profit purposes.
But I would be pleased if I get a donation and/or a press on the "Thanks button", if the scripts are useful for you. It was a long and hard work...
Note: The attachement scriptset-x.yy.zip is double packed (inside .bz2), because I want preserve the right settings of the scripts.
STEPS:
Selected the desired packages in the config file
Adjust the compiler settings for your phone
Run the build script to download and compile the software
Copy the generated TAR files to your phone or let "adb" this do for you and unpack them in the prepared sysroot folder
For more information please read the instructions in "README"
Please let me also know if you have any problems or if you have questions or further suggestions.
Thanks go to the Open Source community and a lot of people/webpages with hints about cross-compiling software.
Thanks
smitna

ScriptStarter
02/03/2012 Added a small ScriptStarter for the GUI. With this app, written with JQuery, PhoneGap and Java (wrapper to execute the shell scripts) it's possible to start for example the lighttpd web server, Pure-FTPd or MySQL from within the Android GUI without a terminal and read the output. If a script needs root access, there is a checkbox to allow this. For this to work, copy the script sush in the script folder. All scripts ending with .sh can be started (please choose after the first start your script folder on the device to add the scripts to the selection, normally your [SYSROOT]/sbin folder).
Three buttons (start, stop and status) are predefined for start-stop-status scripts, there is also a parameter input field for more start values.
Free GPL v3 source code also included (Eclipse project). Please don't expect too much eye-candy. The GUI could be much better, but my CSS skills are very limited...
I added a few example scripts in the zip file, for example a battery stats reader. Before starting these scripts, have a look in the source code to be sure that they are compatible with your device.
Update 0.97 02/03/2012: Now the stderr is also printed in the output window
Update 0.99 02/10/2012: Replaced scrolling api with a much better solution (jScrollPane) for the output window. Not the real Android scroll feeling, but it's usable.
Thanks! I would hit the Thanks button, but I am on my mobile atm.

Someone tried it? Problems?
Please, I need your feedback...
Sounds interesting, I'll try once I get back home and share feedback here
now i try to all packages for test
i will test on cortex a8 (motolora xt720)
TARGET_MARCH="armv7-a" (not work on armv7 )
TARGET_MTUNE="cortex-a8"
TARGET_MFPU="neon"
TARGET_MFLOAT="softfp"
it make dynamic binarys but i don't want dymanic type (because it difficult to divide one thing and maybe not work on android's libs)
how can i make static type?
ps : oh...it has so many comile error (even can't read or count all)

Click to expand...

I hope I understand your question. Why not dynamic?
Yes, you have to set the parameters for your mobile phone. For TARGET_MARCH try "armv7", for TARGET_MFLOAT "softfp" and for TARGET_MFPU "vfp" but check this last setting carefully for this phone.
It's very hard to build a full static binary (and sometimes nearly impossible) and it's also hard to build against bionic (with NDK). I had no good experience with it . A lot of compiler runs wasn't sucessful. Edit: I also had for example massive problems with openssl. I couldn't find a way to build it with NDK or static and then build other programs like cURL with openssl support.
Static binaries are also too big and not necessary. For this we have a sysroot environment to be independent from bionic and without the restrictions. The compiled libs and binaries are linked to the CodeSourcery glibc and have set the custom "rpath" for the dynamic loader. That's no problem I think.
that's simple
if someone want to make some binary for all version of android (even same cpu) it will not work well (defend on basic lib(ex : libc) is ok but complex things will not work)
i know make static type binary is very difficult but it valable

You are right, if you want to build a "portable" binary, you have to set very safe settings, like TARGET_MARCH="armv5", the full list is in the "README". But it's not my main target to offer a solution that is easy portable to other phones, instead you can build the software with optimizations for your phone to "get the best" for it

just i want to add some more function on the phone
thanks for patch files
I want to try this, to install some apps(most interested fro mc), but I don' t wanna change my sd card.
Can I use phone' s /data partition as mysysroot directory? I have 1.5GB space available on data partition, it is 2GB all.
And If yes, I must create the dir: /data/mysyroot? And where to create this dir on pc? On root directory of my linux system?

You can use the /data partition. Just create a new folder, for example /data/sysroot. On your PC you have to create the same temporary with full user rights. This is not your working dir for building. Create a new dir in /home/user and unpack the files there. In settings insert the /data/sysroot as TARGET_SYSROOT and change the other settings for your phone and choose mc=yes. Then start the ./build.sh
Thanks for your quick answer.
Just to make clear because my english understanding is not in a high level
I must create the /data/sysroot dir under "/"(root directory) on linux pc with superuser rights?

Yes, that is right. But this is the only step you need to do as root or better with root rights. After this work as usual as user.

Please notice first, that you should not run this script as root!!
Then there is something wrong with the build of the first needed packages:
ZLIB=yes
OPENSSL=yes
CURL=yes
GETTEXT=yes
LIBXML2=yes
READLINE=yes
NCURSES=yes
- The script cannot find the readline sources. Do you have a subfolder readline-6.2 in folder sources in your builddir? Same for the other source folders. The script first downloads the packages to folder packages, extract the tars in folder sources, repeated for all selections.
(look at line 67 in your log: ./build.sh: 1402: cd: Python-2.7.2: No such file or directory)
- You have no "xz", install it first and make sure, that the other necessary packages are installed. MySQL and gcc are "two pass" compilations and this builds generating temporary binaries, runable on your linux pc. So you need all for a successful compilation of such binaries like gcc, make, python etc. on your linux machine. If you are using Ubuntu, then install the "meta-package" build-essential, look in the README.
Do you have the other unpacking tools like gunzip etc. Please install also "bison"
You should do following steps:
1. First select only the necessary packages (see above), all others to no.
2. If zlib, python, readline an the others are cross-compiled (without errors) and the libraries are in ./sysroot/lib, then deselect them (=no) and select mysql=yes and start a second run with ./build.sh

If you can wait a little bit:
In a short time I release a new version with better error and program checks and some small bug fixes. With this version it's not longer necessary to edit the build.sh, it's now all in only two separated configuration files (configuration and package selection).
hmm...fail to compile mysql again

Hello dateno1,
first: you have *NOT* changed to a user account as promised
The va_list is only a note, not an error, no problem (but ask the MySQL devs why they haven't adapted the code to gcc 4.6.1).
Your Python cross binaries and libraries are not ok (from you broken first build?). Please start from a "fresh state" (delete the folder sources/Python-2.7.2 and sysroot) or start from a total clean state.
Please use the latest 1.5 version of the script because of the xargs warnings at the end
Delete the complete sysroot folder, there are some folders not in place (data and docs). There is a script remove_all_files.sh
Start this script in your buildroot with ./remove_all_files.sh to remove all files and symlinks in subfolder sysroot.
Edit: delete the sysroot folder complete, there are some other missing folders from your first build!
Start again with ./build.sh and activated packages (the "ALWAYS NEEDED" one and MySQL)

The va_list is only a note, not an error, no problem (but ask the MySQL devs why they haven't adapted the code to gcc 4.6.1).
Your Python cross binaries and libraries are not ok (from you broken first build?). Please start from a "fresh state" (delete the folder sources/Python-2.7.2 and sysroot) or start from a total clean state.
Please use the latest 1.5 version of the script because of the xargs warnings at the end
Delete the complete sysroot folder, there are some folders not in place (data and docs). There is a script remove_all_files.sh
Start this script in your buildroot with ./remove_all_files.sh to remove all files and symlinks in subfolder sysroot.
Edit: delete the sysroot folder complete, there are some other missing folders from your first build!
Start again with ./build.sh and activated packages (the "ALWAYS NEEDED" one and MySQL)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
make new account (compile.compile) and use su -c "./build.sh" compile
i think it work (compiled file's owner is changed to compile.compile)
now i delete almost files and folders (exclude android-ndk, readline-6.2, toolchains) and retrying...oh failed (attach new log (full) )
'를 위해 할 일이 없습니다' mean 'no job for~'

The aurora_4.1+-init.d-addon zip is compatible with Aurora v4.1+.
The OOM-Priority-Charger-v1.4-Aurora-4.1a zip is compatible ONLY with Aurora v4.1a.
You can visit android.mimic.ca to upload and automatically patch your newer services.jar in an updated Aurora version.
Hello everyone,
I have created an update package that enables init.d support and also has some premade scripts to tweak various settings by the user e.g.
- Synaptics Touchscreen Sensitivity
- Apply FPS Novatek Fix to raise FPS to 53fps
- Set CPU Frequency and Governor
- Disable Atmel Haptic Feedback
- Turn VSync OFF
- Raise SDCard Read Ahead Value
All the above settings are at their defaults meaning that you must change the Settings in the Scripts and reboot to apply them, otherwise all values are the defaults in Aurora after flashing the Package.
It also includes and by default enables Androcharger (V6 SuperCharger tweaked by blk_jack for Desire Z, it is the same as V6's option 5), KickAssKernelizer by zeppelinrox and Loopy Smoothness tweak.
For a full "Supercharge" you must also tweak services.jar via android.mimic.ca (See the V6 Supercharger link for info). I have attached the CWM flashable zip for Aurora 4.1a (OOM-Priority-Charger-v1.4-Aurora-4.1a.zip).
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for any damage to your Device.
Notes:
This will make your boot slower as all these scripts have to be executed at startup. Especially the Loopy Smoothness Tweak will add at least 3 seconds at boot.
To apply Changes you have to Reboot
Changelog:
v1: Initial Release
v2: Resolve Bootloops for Atmel Users
Links:
V6 SuperCharger by zeppelinrox
AndroCharger by blk_jack
Thanks to dzo for his excellent ROM and the U8800 xda community for many of the tweaks.
And of course thanks to zeppelinrox, blk_jack, the EVO 4G developers.
Tweaking Values of Scripts
To tweak the Scripts you must use a File Explorer to navigate to /systemd/etc/init.d/ and open the files with your Favourite Text Editor.
There are instructions in each script.
In detail:
- 11synaptics_sens
Tweak Synaptics Touchsreen sensitivity, values 1 to 8, default=4 to accomodate your fingers and remove "jittering"
Simply replace 4 with your desired value.
- 12fpsfix
This enables the FPS fix that raises the panel's Frame Rate to ~53 from ~46.
This may not work for all phones but it is customizable, to enable it just uncomment (remove the starting #) from the echo line.
- 13cpu
Set your Desired Min/Max CPU Frequency and Governor. You may use copy and paste and finding values by opening:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
For Example to use SmartassV2 replace "echo ondemand > /sys/...." with "echo smartassV2 > /sys/...." in line 9.
If you use SmartassV2 There are extra tweaks for Performance and a highly suggested tweak for Sleep Ideal Frequency.
- 14atmel_haptic_disable
Disable Atmel Haptic Feedback (i.e. Vibration on Touch) by uncommenting the echo line. If you want to enable replace 0 with 1.
(I believe the default is ON here, some atmel user input is appreciated)
- 69vsync_off
This file disables VSync. This will increase FPS, performance and benchmark scores but it will introduce Tearing (try e.g. SpeedX with and without VSync to see jarred lines) and it will probably drain battery faster.
Simply uncomment (remove starting #) from line 8 (echo '0' > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/vsync_enable)
- 71sdcard_read_ahead
This file raises the read ahead value for your SDCard meaning faster throughput.
----------
The files 96AndroCharger,97loopy_smoothness_tweak,98KickAssKernel should not be edited.
If you wish to use V6 SuperCharger please remove 96AndroCharger first.
Thank you man this is really usefull, gona try ASAP
BTW "For a full "Supercharge" you must also tweak settings.jar via android.mimic.ca", maybe you wanted to say "services.jar" ?
What is inside the flashable ZIP
The ZIP contains a modified boot.img(its initrd image and specifically init.rc not the Kernel), init.d scripts and an executable file: /system/bin/sysinit that in turn executes all init.d scripts.
The source can be modified to support init.d by applying the attached patch to init.rc in platform/system/core repository of CAF. The init.rc is located in rootdir directory.
The patch is a simple two line patch to run sysinit. I will test, and it will of course be preferable to embed sysinit contents directly in init.rc.
Otherwise the initrd.img in the final bootimage can be unpacked,modified and repacked.
I also modified the update script to set permissions on the init.d directory to 755 and owned by root:shell.
Finally, init.qcom.post_boot.sh has been modded so as not to overwrite CPU settings and exec again 13cpu. I may try to modify it so as to source 13cpu instead.

First impressions after first reboot "wow, this thing is really smoother ^^"
Secound impressions after turn on "12fpsfix" "OMG I have a new mobile phone xD"
Boot its slower, but not that much.
Right after boot i have 173 MB free ram, dont really know how much i had before, what i know is that launcher is not redrawing thats really cool
Until now i can only say this, amazing improvement for Aurora, thank you zephyr1988, I will keep in touch with further testing
EDIT: Aps are opening and closing faster too
Thank you so much for this zephyr.
like kaza said, this impoves smoothess a lot.
And being able to use sd-ext again is really good
Thanks again for this!
Yes, improves everything a lot!

A quick question...
"If you use SmartassV2 There are extra tweaks for Performance and a highly suggested tweak for Sleep Ideal Frequency."
If I change to SmartassV2 with No-frills CPU Control will I benefit from that extra tweaks or only if I change it in 13cpu?
EDIT: Nevermind I saw that its needed to uncoment some lines

No Frills will overwrite 13cpu's settings in all cases but if you use smartassv2 in 13cpu and enable the tweaks they should stick, I believe.
In two words, use smartassV2 in both No Frills and 13cpu.
Try enabling the sleep ideal freq tweak and then open with a file manager the file:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_ideal_freq
(or in a terminal:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_ideal_freq)
and see if the value is 368640. If it is it works.
Don't know why, but I installed Aurora 4.0, installed all my apps and then rebooted into Recovery to flash the two Zip files attached to the first post and the phone now is bootlooping :\

Are you sure this is because of this mod?
Have you installed other mods too?
Before trying a fresh install, try deleting the three files 96Androcharger, 98KickAsskernel and 97loopy_smoothness_tweak via Pink Screen and PC. Then it is exactly the same as normal aurora and your problem is elsewhere.
Then you should try doing a fresh install of Aurora 4.0, then flash this zip and see if you get bootloops before installing other mods or apps.
wow, I know this will sound strange but at least for me it really happens, i had some slow downloads with Aurora just like most of the guys were reporting, I am using 12fpsfix, 13cpu with 368 min, 1.4 max, smartassV2 with teawks and 71sdcard_read_ahead, and now my downloads are really faster, downloading Asphalt 6 cache now was really fast, maybe its because my read and write speeds of sdcard were increased, dont know, but this is the best tweak so far for Aurora in my opinion lol

I tried it with ICS 4.0.4 Toucwiz 5 theme and resulted a bootloop. I will re-install ICS4.0.4 and then your scripts to see if they are working.

I haven't installed any other mods. I'm going to do a fresh install and then install the two zip files and report what happened!
------------ EDIT ------------
Made a fresh install of Aurora 4.0 and flashed the two zip files from the first post, rebooted the phone, and it entered in bootloop again. Would you upload the files to another host (maybe the files I downloaded are corrupted?).
Don't know why this happens :|

Did a fresh install but same result(bootloop). Does it make any diffrence which file you install from CWM first?
right after flashing those files, go to Advanced->Report Error. Then mounts and storage -> mount USB storage. You will find inside clockworkmod dir a .log file with debug lines. If something went wrong (mounting or unmounting partitions), it's all there.
Btw which CWM are you using? 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.0.4?

Skinny MIUI is all about preserving the good; Working premium drivers for Camera, CPU control, Notification LEDs, Bluetooth, FM Radio etc. while resolving what is bad in the stock offering.
All deletions assume the user has absolutely no interest in being part of the Xiaomi ecosphere. Leave now if that is not you.
This guide applies to MIUI stable versions 7.1.1 thru to 7.2.5 only. Developer, Beta or Eng versions are not good candidates.
STAGE 1:
Boot.img mods: (this is not creating a custom kernel!!!)
The stock boot.img is unpacked, init.d support added and many entries that are not relevant to our hardware removed.
Disabling lines trying to load non-existent services from init.rc, init.mt6795.rc and ueventd.rc etc. stops a bit of churning on each and every boot and frees up a bit of RAM.
There are intentionally no other tweaks contained within the boot.img. All tweaks are done in init.d scripts accessible outside the boot.img.
Note: This boot image made from 7.1.4 will work back to ver 7.1.1 and forward to 7.2.50 / 6.3.31 and is superior to the stock boot images contained in those ROMs.
At this point you can flash the modified boot.img to your phone if you already have a stock MIUI 7.1.1 to 7.2.50 installation that you are going to keep.
If you are going to do a clean install, replace the boot.img in your ROM zip file with this modified one. (backup the original first)
The boot.img is found here: (Now links to folder with all versions available)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwdRTuyj12_yRk9Kcm1pZkxuZzg&usp=sharing
STAGE 2:
Full install:
I recommend you install my TWRP 3.02-2 version from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwdRTuyj12_yWWp0SUpGV1pzT1k
Before installing your chosen ROM:
Check that the updater script found: \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script is not going to install Preloader, Uboot (lk), Recovery or logo partitions. If so, edit the updater-script to prevent this happening. This is to reduce the risk of a soft-brick or being locked out of your phone.
Do a factory reset in TWRP (wipe Data, Dalvik, Cache) before installing any ROM.
Install your chosen ROM. Trying to slim down the ROM before install is an arduous affair which tends to end in bootloops so we leave the original ROM alone in this respect..
Do the install without connecting to mobile or WiFi networks and just skip at screens prompting for network connectivity and creating accounts.
Reboot into TWRP once finished with the initial Setup to avoid Recovery from being deleted on first boot.
Install an updated SuperSU zip package from TWRP recovery - V2.46 to 2.71 work equally well.
Do not install a root package other than SuperSU - most online ones are malware!
Update the outdated and incomplete Busybox installation. I have created a TWRP flashable zip to upgrade to the latest version 1.25.0. This is the second edition which has better binaries and no longer creates symlinks to busybox commands.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwdRTuyj12_yd0s1QmNLRzdveFk
Now install a root capable filemanager (Root Explorer or Total Commander recommended). Open it and gain root permissions. Open /etc/perfservscntbl.txt in a text editor and edit as follows:
Code:
CMD_SET_CPU_FREQ, SCN_APP_TOUCH, 403000
CMD_SET_CPU_CORE, SCN_APP_TOUCH, 1
This will lower the number of cores used and the frequency at which it runs when a screen touch is detected (referred to as Touch Boost) Changes are activated on reboot.
Now create a file named 01_tweaks in the /etc/init.d folder. Change the permission of the file to 0755
Tips on creating scripts:
The EOL(end-of-line) characters must be in Unix format - not Windows. Make sure you are using a text editor that saves in Unix format.
Note also that many script files need a blank line at the end to work correctly. Get in the habit of always doing this whether needed or not.
Any line starting with a # character and anything after a # character on a line is not processed and is referred to as "commented out"
Script files must start with the header #!/system/bin/sh as the first line.
Init.d scripts are processed in alpha-numeric filename order hence the common usage of 01_xxx, 02_xxx format for names.
Copy these lines into the 01_tweaks file: Note: Different values for 2.2GHz cpu and freq limited operation.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
### Tweak Interactive CPU Governor
echo 806000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/hispeed_freq
echo 85 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_hispeed_load
echo "90 403000:80 806000:85 1326000:90 1625000:95 1950000:99" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
echo 32000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/timer_rate
echo 10000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time
echo 15000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/above_hispeed_delay
echo 20000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/timer_slack
### Tweak IO Scheduler
echo deadline > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler ### choose between cfq, bfq or deadline
### Enable this line if using cfq or bfq scheduler only
# echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/slice_idle
echo 256 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb
### Enable zram swap
# echo 1073741824 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize ### 536870912 = 512MB 1073741824 = 1GB
# /system/bin/tiny_mkswap /dev/block/zram0
# /system/bin/tiny_swapon /dev/block/zram0
### Tweak Entropy to avoid regular depletion of available pool
echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold
#Tweak for wifi router connection issues
#echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6
### FSTRIM: Enable once after installation is finalized and then monthly ##### needs an updated busybox installation to work
# busybox fstrim /data
# busybox fstrim /cache
# busybox fstrim /system
Options: Add / replace lines to do the following:
1. freq limit a 2GHz cpu to 1781MHz (recommended setting)
echo "90 403000:80 806000:85 1326000:90 1625000:95 1781000:99" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
echo 1781000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 1781000 > /proc/cpufreq/cpufreq_limited_max_freq_by_user
2. Full speed 2.2GHz cpu
echo "90 403000:80 806000:85 1326000:90 1664000:95 2158000:99" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
3. freq limit a 2.2GHz cpu to 1885MHz (recommended setting)
echo "90 403000:80 806000:85 1326000:90 1664000:95 1885000:99" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
echo 1885000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 1885000 > /proc/cpufreq/cpufreq_limited_max_freq_by_user
4. Add a limit to the maximum number of cpu cores allowed to come online (for possible battery saving maybe...)
#Limit max cpu cores available (range 2 - 8)
echo 4 > /proc/hps/num_limit_low_batt
echo 4 > /proc/hps/num_limit_power_serv
echo 4 > /proc/hps/num_limit_thermal
echo 4 > /proc/hps/num_limit_ultra_power_saving
Edit /system/build.prop. Change the line: ro.sf.lcd_density from the default 480 to a value between 400 (everything smaller, more on screen) to 520 (everything larger, less on screen) to suit your taste and eyesight. You can test this out first by issuing the wm density command in a terminal app. e.g wm density 440 will immediately change the density to 440dpi, wm density reset will put it back to whatever the build.prop setting is. Adjust the text size in Settings in conjunction with this to get the best result.
At this point you have a functional set of tweaks that are all tested and proven to provide a battery and performance improvement. There are a lot of detrimental or placebo tweaks out there so be a little bit discerning in what else you add to these tweaks - sometimes less is more. Now is not the time to load up those tweaks!
Do a TWRP backup of System, Data, Boot and NVram partition now to save your efforts up to this point.
STAGE 3:
Now its time to get Skinny: You will need an app that can uninstall and freeze system apps. I use SD Maids App Control feature for this purpose.
Warning: If you intend to use app lock, you will unfortunately need to keep some fingerprint service files. See the post below and a few before it to understand the problem. Thanks to @DarthJabba9 for his work.
I believe that app lock also disables MIUI Optimization if enabled.

First phase is to get rid of the obvious bloat apps and Xiaomi in-house apps....these in the list below are safe to remove.
Tick off what you have removed and reboot each 10 or so deletions and backup, don't try to delete everything in one hit as you will end up stuck at boot.
WARNING: This removes some functionality that may be useful to some users. You either want the function or you don't - it is your finger pressing the buttons!
Some people may choose to keep the MIUI Home Launcher interface. In this case, keep MIUI Wallpaper as well.
Must keep these - Do not delete:
Updater - disable autostarts, do not freeze
Theme Manager - disable autostarts
Security (com.miui.securitycenter) - leave as-is
FwkPlugin
Network Assistant app
MiuiSDK - disable autostarts
AuthManager
Webview (update via Playstore once install finished)
Xiaomi service framework - disable autostarts, freeze app
Definitely O.K to delete list:
Wallpaper Apps:
Android Live Wallpapers
Black Hole
Bubbles
com.android.wallpaper.holospiral
Live Wallpaper Picker
Music Visualization Wallpapers
Phase Beam
Photo Screensavers
*Miui MiWallpaper * keep if also keeping MIUI Home Launcher.
Xiaomi/MTK Apps:
Analytics
Assistant
Back up Home screen layout (cloud backup)
Backup - delete if you don't use it (use TWRP instead)
Battery Warning - deleting this does not affect battery charging or display
Battery Saver - deleting this improves battery life
Blocklist (AntiSpam) - delete if you don't use it
com.miui.mipub
File Explorer - delete (you should already have a root capable file browser)
Find device - use the generic Google version if you really must, not the Xiaomi one supplied.

Android/Google Apps:
Browser - suggest replace with Polarity Browser - minimal permissions required, Ad Blocking, lightweight and fast
Documents
Google Keyboard - replace with something lighter - Hackers Keyboard v1.38.2 recommended
Google Pinyin input
Google Feedback
Google partnersetup
HTML Viewer

com.android.browser.provider
PacProcessor
Note: If you have apps reappear as if by magic, they are being reconstructed from cached information. SD Maid has an excellent "Corpse Finder" function that will delete the orphaned files and prevent this happening. Clear corpses after each reboot.
Second phase is to toggle off the autostarts (receivers) on the apps that do not need to start by default. This is not the same as freezing an app. Some apps will still start by themselves - do not worry too much about this.

Third phase is to clean up left behind folders and files
/data/miui/app/customized/ remove any app folders that you have uninstalled
/data/miui/app/noncustomized/ remove any app folders that you have uninstalled
delete folder /data/miui/mms
delete folder /data/miui/gallery
delete contents of /data/miui/cust

Establish network connectivity.
If Gapps is required but not installed, download open_gapps-arm64-5.0-pico version. You can install individual extra Google apps at any stage later on.
Go through all MIUI Settings and turn off everything you do not need running.
Install your favorite media player, web browser etc. to replace the deleted original apps.
Can replace Calendar and Messenger with Google Calendar and Google Messenger to remove some more Xiaomi dependencies. Contacts & Dialer are much harder to replace - True Phone is the only viable option.
To further limit Xiaomi unsolicited communications, rename (or delete) /system/xbin/tunman to tunmanbak. (This is a tunneling protocol driver that Xiaomi uses without your knowledge or permission).
The startup is disabled in the boot.img but it can still be started after boot unless renamed.
To skinny the Themes footprint:
Go to /system/media/theme/
Delete elder-default folder if no use.
Delete entire contents of miui_mod_icons folder
Delete items in /system/media/theme/default/ that are not going to be used.
Delete items in /system/media/lockscreen/ and /system/media/wallpaper/ that are not going to be used.
Now install your favorite app for monitoring CPU parameters and make sure that on idle, there is only one cpu core running and it sits predominantly on 403MHz. It will jump a little bit but that is normal with the inevitable background activities. Increase the timer_rate if you want more stability at idle rather than cranking up the load figures too far. Up to 50000 or down to 30000 is O.K (remember we are talking microseconds here so 50000 = 50mS)
Congratulations! You now you have a "Super Skinny" MIUI installation. Do a backup now!!!!
Now you will feel the AOSP shining through - and still you have working everything!
This post will list useful tools and items that need further investigation.
Apps for finding and disabling things:
Wakelock Detector-Root - monitor and records wakelock activity
GSAM - monitors what apps / services are consuming battery
Disable Service - disable services started on an app by app basis
SD Maid, Titanium Backup - Freeze / remove apps, toggle autostarts (receivers)
Modify your quick start grid size:

Issues:
Find a way to completely disable XMPush service with and without Xiaomi services framework installed.
Xiaomi Services Framework causes Sim connectivity issues if deleted - do not delete. There will always be one XMPush instance running.
Find out what is causing Audio On wakelock reported by GSAM

I have now unchecked that option, and will see over the next day or so whether it resolves the problem. This appears to be the fix
What triggers no sim / no service errors
Removing Xiaomi Services Framework is the culprit
Why do some files / folders not show up in root filemanagers?
MIUI locks the files / folders to prevent them being used or shown.
Why does zram not work anymore?
Rename tiny_mkswap, tiny_swapon, tiny_swapoff to teeny_mkswap, teeny_swapon, teeny_swapoff
Make sure owner is root shell and permissions are 0755 for all 3 files.
edit the init.d script to reflect the change in filenames. Now it will work again!
Example full Skinny ROM based on MR7.2.30 ID:
This is how my phone is set up, it has 100% functionality, zero FCs and zero battery drain on idle. The init.d settings are exactly as provided. Compare the directory listings to your own to see what is deleted.
The other major variation to this is for people who want to keep MIUI Launcher (and MIUI Wallpaper), everything else should remain the same. This cost you a bit more RAM usage and slightly more cpu activity (less battery) but is still impressive compared to stock.

Thanks a bunch for the info. This is exactly what I'm looking for (my slimming down attempts always resulted in bootloops, so I've been playing it pretty safe so far).
Is this something you repeat every time an update is being pushed to your RN2?
@elaurens By doing this you are forgoing the use of OTA Updates which will unravel everything you have achieved.
I had to go through quite a few bootloops before creating the "safe lists" - I suffer so you can all benefit.
If you are starting with 7.1.4 everything is perfect and needs no more updating
Keep your eye out for additions to these lists as I discover or remember them
I have tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...d-enable-clearmotion-miui-based-roms-t3278552
to enable ClearMotion and can vouch for it being safe - as in no malware and no breaking things. It adds the following to Build.prop and puts some hacked drivers in /system/lib.
persist.sys.display.clearMotion=1
persist.clearMotion.fblevel.nrm=255
persist.clearMotion.fblevel.bdr=255
ro.mtk_clearmotion_support=1
ro.mtk_slow_motion_support=1
ro.mtk_16x_slowmotion_support=1
Is this a worthwhile thing to do? There are no negatives in doing so as far as I can see but I don't really have anything that can give this a proper workout.
Can anyone see a difference in video playback? (Must have hardware acceleration selected) I won't recommend this if there is no perceivable gain.
most of the stuff works fine, everything checks out, It's not really anything new, but i find it well written, and it's not just a "placebo build.prop tweaks edit" which is a +. its a smart thing to have it all in a single thread.
however there're some issues with init.d script. even if you get init working, sometimes it just simply wont apply any of the tweaks. interestingly enough, i forced it to create a new text file on every boot, and that works. not really sure whats causing this prob.
anyways, by some magic I eventually made it apply the script, not really sure if it was cause of the rom change, or just pure luck lol
@sikica133 and anyone else having init.d problems:
init.d problems are usually one of the following:
1. incorrect folder permissions.
2. incorrect file permissions
3. No line feed at the end of the file (blank line)
4. incomplete or missing Busybox install
5. missing header in the text
6. Loosing SU privileges
Check init.d folder has 0755 permissions
Check file has at least 0644 permissions
Check and/or insert a line feed at the end of the file
Install busybox on rails, run the cleanup and busybox install, uninstall busybox on rails after this (this gives you an up-to-date and more complete busybox installation)
First line of file must be exactly #!/system/bin/sh
Reinstall a fresh version of SuperSu through TWRP
I sometimes get caught out myself by editing a file on the PC and transferring it back without fixing permissions afterwards:silly:
I have the ultimate build.prop tweak that I will share with you all now, stand back, it is very powerful
persist.sys.use_qualcomm_performance_features_instead=1
nah, i was testing it with a updater-script doing 0755 on all scripts. busybox should be fine cause other scripts did their job. dunno, could be some funny issue on my end. works now, i was just wtf, everything works, this doesnt. no idea what was going one tbh, but it works
could be incompatibility with bbox and the script itself? im running it without feedline atm, and it applies it all. same script i used before when it didnt do anything.
MIUI 7.1.4 and I assume all other versions has a very old and incomplete version of busybox installed (I think it was v1.20?).
It does not have fstrim command (plus a few others) included which is why I recommend updating.
I tried init.d and 01_tweaks script (whith correct permissions).
The system is more time in 806 Mhz., deep sleep not works properly.
I use Stable 7.1.1 .
Deleting script, deep sleep works fine.
Need I install or update busybox for resolve my issue?
@Xabadou This script is the starting point. If you do not "skinny down" MIUI, there are so many things running in the background that you will find it difficult to sit on idle frequency.
How far into skinnying down have you gone?
Also, if you have a 2.2GHz cpu, the 2nd line below frequencies in bold must be modified to valid frequency for that cpu.
If you are not going to skinny down to a great extent, then it helps to bump some of the load settings up a touch.
These are the original lines:
echo 80 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_hispeed_load
echo 90 403000:70 806000:81 1183000:84 1326000:87 1469000:90 1625000:93 1781000:96 1950000:99 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
# for 2.2GHz cpu: echo 90 403000:70 806000:81 1183000:84 1326000:87 1482000:90 1664000:93 1885000:96 2158000:99 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
Modify to:
echo 85 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_hispeed_load
echo 95 403000:75 806000:81 1183000:84 1326000:87 1469000:90 1625000:93 1781000:96 1950000:99 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
This is enough to get it to sit on 403MHz idle in most cases. If you go higher, you will start compromising smoothness. There are no problems at all with entering deep sleep.
If you are still having problems, you have an app running that is badly behaved - identify it and deal with it.
Refer back post #10, I mention why you should upgrade busybox.
I am running my phone beyond Super Skinny and loving it. Super stable and battery friendly while still being a performance beast. You should notice even at the point of trimming down to Skinny, this phone really starts to liven up.

Do you have a list of the apks (and directories) that you deleted in order to get the skinny ROM? Such a list would be useful for writing a script to automate the task.
P.S.: you might have noticed that I am a script fanatic - I generally find that it is less error-prone to automate such tasks with a script - and you only need to get the script right once.
I use stable 7.1.1 by xiaomi.eu whith your modded kernel and a lot of apps frozen (App Quarantine).
Modified kernel works very good.
Just now I have updated busybox.
I have 2.0 ghz version.
I will try again the script.
Clear Motion mod works fine in MIUI roms but you must use MX Player for play videos.

persist.sys.use_qualcomm_performance_features_inst ead=1
Works qualcomm tweaks whith mediatek processors?
@DarthJabba9 The lists ares already mentioned - 1 to get to skinny, 1 to get to super skinny but if you do this in a script on a live system you will likely end up in a bootloop because there are too many odex and cache entries orphaned for Android to handle in one hit. If you intend to apply a script to the ROM files before installation, that is a different story. It takes a bit of effort to figure out how and where MIUI is loading a lot of its components from but is doable.
Why I have not offered a complete ready to go package? It is too easy for users to do it themselves and add their preferences along the way. For those that have actually followed through with the process, I can guarantee that they will instantly loose interest in any other custom ROM.
@Xabadou Thanks for the clarification on ClearMotion. I run VLC set to hardware acceleration and can't see the split screen test mode. Video looks fine regardless, so really hard to tell if anything has changed.
Do the apps that you quarantine stay not running? I had problems with quite a few apps running regardless of being frozen or not so had to uninstall.
You, along with everyone else are not running a modified kernel - the kernel remains intact since we do not decompile and recompile or compile it from source.
The "persist.sys.use_qualcomm_performance_features_instead=1" tweak is a sarcastic dig at the many tweak offerings that do absolutely nothing:silly:
You asked the question showing you were not ready to accept this at face value:good:
If there is no evidence of a tweak doing something positive, don't blindly use it!!!
This is a customized boot image that provides init.d support and has unnecessary entries removed. No tweaks are embedded.
It is built on 7.1.4 and can be used on stock 7.1.1 to 7.1.4.

credits to @DarthJabba9 for the alternate init.d support method adopted in this image. It circumvents using busybox run-parts method that appears to have some bugs.

I will share my custom Super Skinny MIUI boot.img based on MIUI7.1.4 since it is now stable ... It is unpacked and repacked using AndroidMasterChef (downloaded from Needrom). I do not have problems unpacking and repacking again. If you try to unpack and have problems, use the same tool.

Thanks for the image. It cannot be unpacked with standard linux tools, but it unpacks ok with AndroidMasterChef.
