Samsung should hire 3rd party developers like you for specific devices so that it can be better

QUOTE(iori57 @ Dec 20 2011, 05:54 PM)
agree, they could hire just one 3rd party developer for every device they have..

Yeah, too bad Intel hired me as a Microprocessor Design Engineer already tongue.gif

If they do this, I'm sure samsung's devices would be  much smoother. Coming from an iPhone, I feel the galaxy s2 isn't as smooth enough,but I can live with it

Not that I know of.

Is it much smoother with ThunderBolt! ? tongue.gif

One more question, can pikachu's thunderbolt be used on G version of S2? biggrin.gif

It should work without problems. Be sure to have a nandroid backup handy before flashing, just in case smile.gif

Instructions
Copy the CWM zip and all the addons you need to your internal sdcard
Mount /data, /system and /sdcard in CWM (IMPORTANT!) (When mounted, it will show "unmount /system" for example. This means that an unmounted partition will show a "mount /system" for the /system partition)
Install using CWM all the CWM zips without needing a reboot in between
Wait for bootup
Open up Script Manager and launch /sdcard/bolt_scripts/remount[device] (e.g. remounti9000) as Root (The skull icon) and as Boot (The wheel icon).
Open up Script Manager and launch /sdcard/bolt_scripts/sqlite_optimize as Root (The skull icon). This script can be used arbitrarily at anytime that you want. Don't load it as boot or copy it to init.d though, it'll significantly slow down your boot up as the script is a very long running script.
????
PROFIT
i follow this way...am i correct?

when we reboot the phone, we need to do the steps again?
*
Nope. Just install the main CWM and all the addons in one go, then reboot.

applied pikachu01's tweaks to my CM7. my CM7 has some mounting point difference but managed get it to work (i guess) as i checked the 'How to find out if it works' in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296927.

we'll see how well it goes. anyway thanks pikachu01 for the effort! u rox!

i dl the thunderbolt-cwm v2.200.zip only, is is sufficient?

what other file i need to DL?

i now already flah the mentioned file and run the script...how to revert back?

since u said just reboot, dun need to run the script.
*
The main CWM should offer between 20-50% boost by itself (you have to do sqlite_optimize and remount also).

The addons are optional, but it offers an extra 5-10% of performance boost and battery savings.

You need to run the script sqlite_optimize and remount. What I'm saying about reboot, is after installation of CWM zips.

QUOTE(iori57 @ Dec 21 2011, 12:10 AM)
Ya i also curious which addon should be installed on i9100. After reading the brief description for each addon still very blur..

Which addons are you unclear of?

hmm honestly i cant really feel the difference in speed but i am more concerned with the battery saving & efficiency about ur tweak. need to monitor for few days. as far as for last night until now, i feel the consumption still the same as my default CM7. lets see how it goes for my usage for today haha smile.gif

another ques, since we have to manually mount /system, /data and /sdcard, do we need to unmount them after flashing the zip? like 'reverting' our mounting to our previous in order to prevent anything to go wrong after this?
*
Nope, you only mount it in CWM. Rebooting will dismount/remount etc. Every Linux machine undergoes an unmount/remount every reboot.

sweettttt! thanks! so by right everytime when we reboot our phone, a msg will be displayed saying 'script manager has been given superuser permission' right? since we need to run ur script on boot smile.gif hope this shows that the tweak flashing is correct.
*
Yup. smile.gif That's correct.

Edit: You can check by typing:

CODE

mount


In terminal emulator and checking that all ext4 mounts have barrier=0 and/or commit=60.

in CM7, i have /mnt/emmc for internal sdcard while /sdcard is my external sdcard. therefore my mounting points are different from others.

Yeah, hence why bolt_scripts sometimes can't copy correctly to some devices. :/

the tweak from pikachu can work on the G version or not ?

Should work well, as antt00 said, nandroid just in case smile.gif

QUOTE(antt00 @ Dec 21 2011, 04:58 PM)
No idea yet. But no rush let give him time to release a proper stable rom.

@ pikachu. Your bolt scripts indeed improve the smoothness, but in terms of batt saving need time to monitor.

One other thing is, most people on custom rom have similar tweaks in their init.d folder. Most rom have zipalign, ram tweaks, sd read ahead, cpu tweaks, bla bla bla. Would it be better for them to clear their init.d folder before trying out your tweaks? Will there be any conflicts?

I have a feeling they will not notice much diff if they never used their device without any tweaks to begin with.
*
zipalign: Most ROMs package the darky zipalign which sadly doesn't work. I've edited the script to properly work.
ram tweaks: Most ROMs use Juwe's RAM tweaks or some other RAM tweak that only tweak the Linux LMK leaving out the Dalvik LMK. This creates a gap between memory released in Dalvik and Linux making memory hard to free. SGSII has more RAM so this isn't apparent. In SGS, having tweaked Dalvik gives a noticeable difference.

SD read ahead: Most ROMs tweak this beyond 1024KB. Most of what we need is only 128 or 256 at max. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032317

CPU Tweaks: Some tweaks are mostly good actually, but not all are sane. ThunderBolt! edges it a bit more for it to become a bit faster as well as battery saving.

You can read my sig: Android Optimization Tips to know what were my basis for each tweak that I did. Most people just copy paste expecting good things to happen (and some do get lucky).

Should we delete all the old scripts? Well anyway i already deleted all my init.d scripts a few days before anyway.  tongue.gif

So when i flash your tweaks just a few hours ago, i immediately notice a difference.
*
Yeah, you should delete the old scripts. Take note that you should only delete what you know. The scripts that you don't know, you can ask me here.

Best is to start from Stock ROM and then install all the mods/themes yourselves. You can learn stuff on the way and you ensure the stability of the ROM yourself wink.gif

Are you UVing? The increase in performance will stress the components more that usual. Try increasing 25mV for your highest frequency.

Undervolting. Or are you using any other tweaks app that changes your bus voltage/GPU voltage/GPU speed/CPU frequency etc.

Try not using 1.6GHz? Use the stock 1.2GHz? The increase in performance made your 1.6GHz unstable.

Try not using 100MHz? Try setting it to 200MHz for minimum frequency?

If you're using CWM5, you have to follow these steps:
Note: For a successful flash, you have to toggle Signature Verification ON -OFF and Script Assets ON -OFF, then flash it from internal storage.

Some Galaxy Note users are also facing this.

Try manually copying the files. You can do this for all except for the libsqlite and bin files addons. Those will need to be done at the CWM. Doing that while your phone is running will bootloop your OS.
