Speedbooster 2.0 & Battery Increase Hack WM6.5 7/14

Thought I'd start this thread for those who are looking to speed up there wm6.5 phone as well as increase their phones battery performance. Thanks to stanip over at Rhodium Development for heads up on this jem of a program that works great on my Kaiser. This is a must have on your phone. I noticed so many chefs in rom development try their hardest to achieve maximum stability and speed and some are very sucessful. I was skeptical about this program until I installed and applied settings recommended and WOW I swear my phone is SUPER FAST and RESPONSIVE with little effect on battery life. In fact I've noticed longer battery life with Battery hack setting found in this program. I have attached the cab for this program along with settings provided to make your phone FLY try it out you'll see!
Note: Upon installation you will note that the taskbar will turn a greenish and orange like color upon 1st soft reset. Don't worry. Just soft reset once or twice and this will dissappear. Settings and Cab below:
1) Under processes: select highest for all. Select Refresh and select Monitor.
The best part here is the "Add" function which allows you to pick applications you want to add and speed up. Once you add, select highest speed as other processes. The improvement is really noticeable.
2) Memory: similiar to other clean Ram type of utilities. No setting required. Just hit Free.
3) Video speed: I select fastest and disable window animations.
4) Storage performance: Just select all to tick.
5) Tools: I only need battery hack (to last longer).
6) Benchmark & reset to default - as needed.
Install to device not Storage Card
Unregistered version only allows for 1 full system setting. I currently have File System Cache set to maximum and boy does this thing respond.

Wow!!
It sounds a great superb tool!
Any comments from members already tested?
Thanks,

intereting. will have to try this out. thanks.
sweet. hope that this will help my kaiser.

Installed on my 64mb Universal does not even run the app
Now I can´t uninstall.....
EDIT: Uninstalled took like 10 min
Perhaps my memory is very slow...
Any other experiences to share?

1) Under processes: select highest for all. Select Refresh and select Monitor. - wont this increase battery consumption?

I havent noted any battery consumption. In fact ive noted low battery consumption due to the battery hack settings. my battery seems to stay charged longer now but i guess it all depends on your usage. note on unregistered version you can only select highest for 1 setting. I increased file cache to full and thats it until i buy full.

dont know why it took so long to uninstall. on my kaiser i just go to settings system and remove programs and take installed programs off. also dont know if this works on universal but it should cause its built for ppc. google speedbooster 2.0 teksoft and there more info on this fine program.

okI tried it. running it now. it seems to be loading the windows folder much faster and I have quite a few files in it.
I mostly focused on device.exe.
so far the keyboard has not been misstyping. (although I still cant spell woth a damn.
thanks for the heads up on the program... now if I can only figure out how to make these setings permanent in my rom...

Thank´s for the SpeedBooster...
I install the version V2.0​.0.10 because of Tyra
I have one HTC Touch Elf 0100 P3450 (64/128Mb) & Onyx 5.0.1 WM6.5, and i take less of minute to install SpeedBooster... I set all like the #1 and the soft give me this BenchMark:

After the TIP on #11
I can see some quick effects , much more faster, the memory RAM is lower ( usually was 70% ur 72% and now is @ 60% )...
I say Cooooool to this app for now...
Thank's

can this work on a cdma device? like the htc touch?
this program is very interesting, great find.

Cool. Ive been trying to let a few of the cooks in Kaiser Rom threads about this program noone seems to be paying it any mind so i thought I would just start a thread. This app is a must have. regarding all the settings I think you have to purchase the full program for like $14 to be able to have all, but the way my phone is moving now who needs the others. A little secret if you have advanced configuration 3.3 go into performance settings and enable file system cache set file system cache size to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072 sectors , Glyph Cache to 128kb hit done phone will do soft reset and be ready to anchor your phone down this baby will fly.no effect on battery either. report back tell me what you think.

Yep it should I read where it currently has some peoples touchpro2 running like its on steroids. Give it a shot you shouldnt be dissappointed.

my old htc blue angel scored higher than my touch pro, things like this makes me want to nuke htc's headquarters FFS -____________________-

One question: i have set it NOT TO SHOW the battery bar. But, after each soft reset, the bar keeps reappearing. Anyone knows a registry setting to disable it for good?
Thank's, Paul

This little program is indeed a wonder.
I've used it on several models, and allways with good results, since early versions.
Best practice tip, from one of the authors of this app:
I suggest you add higher priority to gwes.exe and shell32.exe, and to 2-3 of your favorite programs that are not running fast enough.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And you can get a free license, check this topic on Teksoft's forum. You can also get more info browsing their forum.
Anyhow, a little explanation, on how it works: it does not overclock your processor. It just assigns more processor time (cycles?), to the running apps that were tweaked to a higher priority, thus making them run faster.

I'm always a little sceptical when it comes to "speedboosters", but this one really works.
I pointed it to
poutlook.exe
gwes.exe
shell32.exe
and applied the rest of the settings as the topicstarter. It gives a very noticeble speedboost in Titanium in WM6.5. I work with the Romeos 6.5 ROM.

install it manually...not by uc may fix the problem

I noticed in the title it says for wm6.5. Does this work with 6.1 as well. Seems as though it would if people with the Touch Pro2 are praising this app. I know I would like to give it a try on my TP2.

+1
Could you please tell if this app only works on wm 6.5. ? or also on 6.1
Also, is it supposed to work on every ppc, such as Diamond I, Touch HD, etc...
Thanks

[app] (update 31/07, v 0.0.4.1) avsMon for thalamus kernel / Oxygen 2

About
avsMon lets you easily enable or disable avs module via simple button click or even enable it on every boot. Moreover it provides information about current state of avs module, cpu frequency and voltage.
thalamus kernel comes with disabled avs module. We can easily enable this functionality for some power usage improvements (like drop to 3-4mA in screen off state) if cpu can handle those voltages, by 'echoing' 1 to /sys/module/avs/parameters/enabled. But this requires opening a terminal application and some struggle with onscreen keyboard. Inconvenient and time consuming.
A bit annoyed, I've ended up with this little application. It's basic functionality is to help to enable or disable avs module, by providing GUI to those 'echo' commands.
Additionally, it displays info about current avs state, cpu frequency and cpu vdd (pooled in user configured intervals).
This post and application originates from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15988562&postcount=934.

Manual
1. Enabling avs module on boot.
To enable avs module on boot, press menu key. This will open options menu pane. From there, select settings. You'll be transferred to settings view, where you have to click Enable AVS on boot option.
avsMon will now request superuser rights. If you haven't already done this, su popup will appear. For best results, check Remember box and allow.​
2. Applying user-specified voltages on boot.
To apply custom voltages, go to settings, select Voltages and then check Enable user-specified voltages on boot.
avsMon will now request superuser rights. If you haven't already done this, su popup will appear. For best results, check Remember box and allow.​
3. Changing voltages.
To change voltage levels, go to settings, select Voltages and then either Minimum voltage or Maximum voltage. Changing default value will result in immediate writing new values to vdd_min or vdd_max files in sysfs.​
Requirements
Requires 2.3 and su privileges to toggle avs module.
Fetching avs and cpu states is done with normal privileges.
Disclaimer
I don't take responsibility for any damage or data loose.
Application was tested on Oxygen 2.1.6 with thalamus kernel 2.6.35.13_r4.
I recommend to uninstall earlier version and then install current rather than update already installed one.
Final notes
If you like this little app, don't forget to press thanks button.
Donations are off course welcome.
Any features requests and comments are much appreciated.
Stay tuned, for updates....

This is nice. I shared your pain fiddling with terminal and keyboard.
Good job

Nice idea! However, I think one would not enable or disable the feature too often. I would rather put a script in /system/etc/init.d to enable it at each boot (and so I have done). I would suggest you a new feature: add a button Make it permanent to make the setting be restored at boot (if you haven't implemented it already). The implementation should write a specially crafted script in /system/etc/init.d to restore whatever setting was chosen in the GUI. Of course, your application would need a root privilege.

Tanks. I already have peresistent avs enabling through android service @ boot on my todo list. I think that it's much elegant solution, than writing anything to /system/etc/init.d/ (which is not so easy thou and requires remounting /system).
Simple service will start at boot, check if avs is enabled or not, then it'll enable (if user has selected so) it. Same result. No flashing or writing to init.d needed. Root privileges usage should be kept at minimum.
This will be included in one of next versions.

New version available.

If devNull incorporates the same kernel (thalamus), then just try it and let us now if it works. If devNull has the same kernel as Oxygen and avsMod doesn't work, then please send me PM with logs and problem description. I'll look into this.

Afaik, DevNull uses the same kernel as Oxygen, 2.6.35.13-stable [email protected] #1.
Pressing Turn on AVS does nothing only says that avsMon has superuser rights.

Do you have AVS enabled? avsMon now tries to read cpu states even if avs is not enabled and this could provide to such values. It's normal and will be corrected in future version. Try to enable AVS and then check readings.
If AVS is enabled and avsMon still shows such readings, then please send me logs and describe all actions and steps you've made.

am using oxygen 2.1.6 with thalamus kernel, setting voltages doesnt work, have tried but its still reporting old voltages, im settingmin as 850 maximum as 950 (i know my phone can take it ) but its still reporting higher voltages.

When you change minimum or maximum voltage, avsMon will write this new value to either vdd_min or vdd_max in /sys/module/avs/parameters/. The rest is up to kernel and avs module implementation. Basing on thalamus comments, it should read vdd_min/vdd_max in sysfs and use those values.
Values reported as cpu frequency and voltage status are taken from /sys/module/avs/parameters/status. And here is the same as with voltages. It's up to kernel and avs module to update this file in sysfs.
avsMon is just an interface to commands you'd normally have to write manually. Nothing more.
I haven't tested voltage settings much. They're implemented based on assumption, that "this should work, because avs should read those files in sysfs". Try to change voltages and then observe your power consumption. If your phone uses less mA than normally, then it's working. If not, then we should ask thalamus for his opinion, it's his kernel

thanks for the reply buddy, im not expecting miracles from the app, just letting you know. cool app, for all i know it could be working, just the reported values are wrong, ill see how it goes and if necessary, a word with thalamus to see if he can shed any light on it may be in order.

FKU, as like fauxclock, are awesome apps and i think are another way to say thanks for their work on kernels
Without our kernel developers these tuning apps have no reason to exist
i have made this app just for fun, after over an year learning Android programming. I don't ask for donations, but if you want to do it, use the button under my avatar

Sweet :good: This app is tight.

Nice app I really like it, just one thing and this is me nitpicking, when I go change something like my max CPU frequency, can have a filled circle on the option we are already on and instead of showing the number as 300000, can u show it as 300 MHz, I think that will make the ui look a little bit cleaner overall

I think I can extend support to nexus 4 but the only way I have to track issues is with Google analytics because I don't have that device
You can try the version attached to the OP on N4 and tell me if it works or something is broke
Not that some features could not show due to file path changes on kernel
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk

So every time I try changing my max cpu frequency to something higher than 2.26 the app force closes and I'm using elemental x kernel so my kernel is able to over clock, but it allows my to under clock. Oh and BTW, great app, I really like it

[ASK]Stripped Down Version of Android

The Question
Seeing how our device support multi-booting into several ROMs and a few weeks ago the HTC M8 came out. The M8 features an ultra battery saving mode by dumbing down the phone into only the essential function such as messaging and phone calls.
Is it possible to make a stripped-down version of AOSP/other custom ROM?
The ROM itself could only feature a few apps such as:
Messaging
Phone
Browser
Camera
Music Player
File Manager
Gallery
WiFi
Bluetooth
With the Location and Account Sync turned off also multi-tasking turned off (make only 1 app in background), this could save a lot of battery. Also since it won't need that much horse power to run the ROM, you can turn off a few cores to save battery even further. So if one day you're in need for a longer life battery but still want to use your phone, you can boot into this ROM.
The "Lite" ROM
So instead of waiting for someone to heavily strip down an Android ROM I tried the following:
Installed MultiROM
Add a new ROM
Flashed the ROM's zip file (Slimkat Build 4 Stable) without flashing the gapps afterward
Flashed Photosphere since I need it
Flashed a custom kernel (hellscore b44)
Booted into the "Lite" version of ROM and set things up.
Remove some apps that is not needed and added some apps that are needed
The result is the following, just a simple ROM with no widgets on the homescreen and only a few apps that do not have services running on background.

(1) multi-tasking turned off (make only 1 app in background), this could save a lot of battery.(2) Also since it won't need that much horse power to run the ROM, you can turn off a few cores to save battery even further. So if one day you're in need for a longer life battery but still want to use your phone, you can boot into this ROM.

(1)Developer Options ----> Background Process Limit (At most, 1 process)
(2) You can install a kernel(you obviously need custom recovery and root for that) Then you can set the Maximum and Minimum CPUs online. This can be achieved with ak latest kernel.
Sorry I couldn't answer the previous "demands", but those 2 can be achieved on a normal ROM.

I know this can be done on normal ROMs, I used to turn off some cores with hellscore too but it ends up laggy but at least it charges faster -_-"
As for background process, it just kill the apps when it's on background, opening it again will start it up again which in opposite, decrease battery life if multi-tasking. Even if the limit is enabled, some services still runs, I tried sending Whatsapp and it still receives it thus service still running.
If devs can make like a S40/Java-like ROM and with our spec, it can last days on battery like the days of Nokia 3100. :laugh:

A) Don't use apps. Only use vital apps like SMS and Phone? (Imagine that you have Ultra saving mode?)
B) Set CPU to 192mhz - 1350mhz and Intellidemand
C) Don't use a lot of 3G - Set wifi to turn off on lock
D) Undervolt
E) DONT PLAY GAMES
F) Underclock GPU to 320mhz
G) Greenify all apps except Clock and Launcher
This should easily give you 5 hours of screen on time or at least 2-3 days on one charge.

Actually I flashed a new ROM (Slimkat) without flashing the gapps + hellscore b44 and added Hellscore Manager to tweak all the above, also in Developer Settings enabled "No Background Process". The size doesn't even reach 300mb. I haven't tested the battery life though. Anyone wanna try?

Hey, and why dont you try to take the zip file from a rom and manually remove its unnecessary apks???
Also, I suggest you to flash a kernel... I used faux kernel... Great battery
This thread could be interesting for those who leave home for some days
EDIT: You can install the stripped down version of that rom with MultiROM so you can have access to all functionalities again with only one reboot

Yeah, actually that's what I did. So I have two ROMs intalled, 1. a full Slimkat version installed with gapps and all my 100 apps and games, and 2. a simplified Slimkat version where gapps are no more and some apps removed + a few basic apps that I use daily such as Opera Mini, XDA Forum, Hellscore Manager, and Android Central App, also the new Google Camera for taking pictures. No chatting apps installed at all.
I'll test how long it last since tomorrow I'll be travelling.

Why dont you just delete some system and priv-app apks? My CM11 from 210 mb goes down to 140mb when I delete all those things. Even SlimRom and PA went down to 130. Battery life is ok with me. 1 day with ak's kernel.

Yeah it's rather small so it doesn't significantly affect my main ROM. I don't want just one day, it's normal getting a day of use using hellscore. I want to test if an Android smartphone can achieve 3-4 days of use like the days where Nokia 3100 was still around.
So unfortunately I couldn't test a full whole day since I had some stuff I need to do on my main ROM, so I only used it for 3-4 hours. Battery was kinda good though, it only drops 2-3% surfing the internet on WiFi for 30 minutes with low brightness.
It took 20% of battery with 1 hour of screen on time which consist of 20 minutes of music through speaker, 30 minutes on full browser (WiFi), 15 minutes on Opera Mini (EDGE), and took 10 pictures with the camera. But I don't think that's good enough.
I'll post my phone and kernel settings on the first post, any suggestion on reducing battery life please tell. I'll try using the Slimkat Lite ROM until the battery dies when I'm fully charged again and post the result here.

[GUIDE] [Osprey] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks

Any information in this thread is based on @soniCron's guide here. If anyone would like more information on how exactly this works, head over there.
Introduction
After having read through all of soniCron's posts, I was really impressed and I wanted to test if for myself, but I do not have either a Nexus 6P of a Nexus 5X. I do however have a Moto G 2015, and since instructions were provided to apply his technique on other devices, I decided to give it a go. So after quite a bit of testing and calculating, I have been able to come up with some tweaks for our little phone. Now, I have not yet fully tested the battery life with these tweaks. I feel like they will work though, and so far, performance has been better than before and according to some frequency tables, the frequencies are staying lower.
Some more details
These tweaks should work on any ROM and/or kernel. However, there seem to be issues with the stock ROM, where either the target_loads and/or the above_hispeed_delay are not sticking. Please test for yourself. For a list of confirmed working ROMs, check below.
Your phone must be rooted. If you are not sure how to do this, check this guide.
With this out of the way, we can finally start with some numbers. In accordance with soniCron's thread, I have started with calculating the nominal (minimum required to do anything smoothly) clock rates for scrolling, watching video and loading apps. These clock rates were calculated using the performance governor, limiting the maximum clock speeds while performing a given task. These are only my observations and yours may vary depending on your settings and how well you have optimised your system and browser etc. Be sure to check if the clock rates are similar to those that you need to run the given task smoothly, you should be good to go.
For idle, I observed a nominal clock rate of 400000 MHz.
For scrolling, I observed a nominal clock rate of 998400 MHz.
For video watching, I observed a nominal clock rate of 1094400 MHz.
And finally, for app loading, I observed a nominal clock rate of 1209600 MHz.
With these values in mind, I then proceeded to calculating the maximum and minimum loads that were most efficient. (For more details, please see soniCron's thread)
Here they are:
200000:1
400000:68
533333:50
800000:25
998400:82
1094400:86
1152000:10
1209600:80
These values are essentially the target_loads the kernel looks for. I have also applied some other miscellaneous tweaks for the governor which all helped with performance while keeping battery life. Now, without further ado, I present you:
What you need to do (on Custom ROMs)
1) Make sure you are rooted and have Busybox installed.
2) Download a kernel manager app. There are loads of these in the play store, but I personally recommend this one.
3) Pop the following values in at the 'governor tunables' section, making sure you have the interactive governor selected.
above_hispeed_delay 20000 400000:60000 998400:30000
boostpulse_duration 80000
go_hispeed_load 99
hispeed_freq 1363200
max_freg_hysteresis 60000
min_sample_time 60000
target_loads 98 400000:68 533333:50 800000:25 998400:82 1094400:86 1152000:10 1209600:90
timer_rate 35000
timer_slack 80000
align_windows 1
4) TURN OFF TOUCH BOOST
5) (OPTIONAL) apply the other tweaks listed here
6) Make sure it's working correctly. Check if everything keeps running smoothly. If it doesn't, optimize your device more, or increase the min_sample_time by increments of 5000. If your CPU is going over the Idle speed often, adjust the timer_rate upwards by increments of 5000. If it stays at the Idle speed too much, adjust it downwards by increments of 5000.
7) ENJOY!

Conclusion
I have had lots of fun with observing and calculating the optimal speeds and settings. I hope these tweaks will help someone and if they do, please let everyone know by leaving a post in this thread. Good luck!

Trying out these settings for a while, but it definitely seems more responsive. Maybe that's just a placebo, though.

Great to see they seem to be working for you! Could you please let me know which ROM and/or Kernel you're using? I could use that information to make a 'working' or 'tested' list.

I'm using the stock 6.0 ROM with Squid's Kernel, revision 14b. If it also helps, I'm on the 1GB version of XT1540.

With my XT1540 1gb on 6.0 and the stock kernel, the responsiveness seems better. I'm going to run it a day to check battery and if that's ok, I'll apply these settings on boot.
One question...on the target load settings I'm seeing a space between 400000: and 68. All the other values don't have a space after the colon so I assumed this one shouldn't either.

me also testing.... xt1541 2gb with stock 5.1.1 rom and squid kernel
for now with those settings and intelligplug enabled (hotplug driver) everything seems little bit smoother than before ... now testing battery....
from what i can see in kernel adiutor>>frequencies tab: some intermediate frequencies are disabled/unused....(533mhz, 800mhz, 1152mhz)... before only 200mhz was unused 'cause min freq was set to 400mhz....

Yes, that is exactly the behavior we want to see. We don't like those frequencies because they are not the most efficient to be running at. The governor is now set to quickly scale up to the frequency we need to do a certain thing (browsing, app loading etc.). If you wanted to be running at those frequencies more, you could up the target_loads on them, but I do not recommend that.

Ok, this is strange, my target load settings aren't sticking. I've put them in twice and after a few minutes, that setting reverts back to 80. I can put them in, exit Kernel Adiutor and come right back and they're there. If I wait a little while and go back, they're gone.

Hmm that is odd indeed. Could you flash a custom kernel and try again?

I'm going to have to wait on that, I'm on a soak test for a couple of apps so I need to stay stock kernel for now. For grins, I'm going to try another kernel app though I doubt that's it.
I just noticed that Greenify was closing Kernel Adiutor in the background. Although that wasn't affecting the other settings, I'm going to stop that and see if it works.

My target load settings aren't sticking either, I'm on stock 5.1.1. rom, stock kernel, also using Kernel Adiutor.

It must be something with the stock, since you're on Lollipop and I'm on Marshmallow.

Okay. Thank you all for testing. I will add a message to the OP saying it doesn't work with the combination of stock Moto kernel and ROM. I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, but I feel it might be because of the hotplug. We can be sure that it is not due to the stock ROM, right? Someone's tested it on stock with Squid Kernel.

@TVD1903, I've just tried setting it on stock 5.1.1 with Squid kernel, and target loads won't save.

Welp. There must be something with the Stock ROM that's preventing us from changing the governor settings. It does work here, on crDroid. I do not have the technological knowledge to fix this issue to be fair. If there is any dev reading this, could you please let us know what the problem is?

here with stock 5.1.1 rom, squid kernel and kernel adiutor app everything working....
