I look at the brand name already dissapointed haha....

Huawei... in chinese -> Flower tail lolx...  sweat.gif

??? Why disappoint? I read review said it's built quite nicely. If I'm not wrong. Huawei devices are made by foxconn(I think so... Can't even 50% sure). I think everything is fine here. Somemore huawei is now into malaysia market. They provide two years Local warranty. Last time rarely see huawei in Malaysia. Huawei big chipset company lea. One of the giant manufacturer in network communication devices. laugh.gif Bluffing around... going to sleep soon. Good night yawn.gif

if yes, be prepared for bumpy ride! you may make mistake, stuck somewhere, but trying out new stuff and ideas give you more experiences. you will love you SGW even more biggrin.gif

+1 experience  rclxms.gif

kezra v4 is a good choice! but, step by step, root first... get ClockWorkMod first...
*
What's kezra? Erm... Will you recommend just root and use supercharger v6? Seems you ROM is having problem for quite a number of user. I'm considering just root and apply some fixes through script.

KezraPlane is the first person to create a custom ROM for SGW (as far as I know). his ROM is already version 4, many claim it is very stable. worth a try.

My ROM? some got it working, some has problems. if not working for you, move on! there are other quality ROM. but what my ROM offer that no other ROM can offer (at the moment):

1. fastest - 1.8ghz
2. most memory - 353mb
3. lowest memory usage - 103mb (this is vary depending on usage)
4. Undervolting - save more battery
5. CPU governors - OnDemandX and SmartAssV2 - more responsive and save more battery.

i am adding zram option soon too. will allow you to use compressed ramdrive, in short:

more memory in expense of CPU cycles

there are many drastic changes in my ROM and kernel, but i only has 1 phone and use free time to do this. so, dont expect it to be more stable than stock ROM.

anyway, for u, u root first lar...  sweat.gif

Hehe... Any safety precaution before rooting? Else I root it later
Any backup or anything I need to do? 2.3.6 must use recovery right?

You suggest which option for Supercharger V6? I remembered you said option 6 right? But I see option 2, 3 as aggressive one. 4 5 6 as balanced. Which one should I use?

Now... This step

QUOTE
after installing the script you have to set the /data/99SuperCharger.sh to run at boot.
open script manager, go to /data/ and select 99SuperCharger.sh set run as root and run at boot.
reboot and all should work.


QUOTE
- Stock ROMs - If you have neither, it creates /data/99SuperCharger.sh which you can load up on boot (run as root) with Script Manager. The OOM groupings work as well since it happens on boot in local.prop (20 entries added)


I can't find this directory. Enlighten me!

the script will autorun. if you want to check whether the script is running, reboot and re-run the script and check for the current minfrees value. it should the same with prior v6 minfrees

to get your homescreen lock, basically just add this into your "/system/build.prop"

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0

0 = same group with foreground app, so, it will be the last to get killed.

Can't just leave to option 5 to do that? I'm now on option 5.

but if u know about low memory killer, u can basically apply whatever u see fit to your phone.  nod.gif

Ask u... Those numbers. 8 16 24 ... ... what does that mean? I see the aggressive option 1. The last number is 50. I think is 50MB. Does that mean it starts killing when RAM<50?

Let say u chose:

6,12,75,90,95,125 MB

That mean, if less than 125mb free, u kill empty_app group.
If less than 95 free, u start killing content provider group.
...
if less than 6mb free, u kill front app group too!

As you can see, if too aggressive, most app end up got killed, and got reloaded (some app will simply reload) and thus should drain more battery too... there is give and take.  rolleyes.gif

LOL. So... Now i'm using Option 5. The launcher is in Group 0? Possible to make even launcher get killed? blush.gif

by default, launcher is no group 0, it will only become 0 when u select say, "Bulletproof launcher". delete "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0" in /system/build.prop will set it back to normal, thus, killable. for that matter, if u want it to get killed easiest, just increase the adj value.

this is the control u have without using the script biggrin.gif

ps: if you have twlauncher (which eat RAM!) selecting bulletproof is not a good choice LOL

laugh.gif I'm using TWLAUNCHER. Sometimes switch to GO LAUNCHER but very sien... Some stock widget won't work on Go Launcher. Like the Picture Frame... and Clock will stuck on Go Launcher. doh.gif

QUOTE(driots @ Feb 10 2012, 07:16 PM)
Yup.... i'm using cow OC rom but run at 1.4Ghz.
Only will OC it if required. my hardware cannot support 1.8Ghz as it will lag then hang then reboot then FC. Tried 3 times already and result is still the same. Also tried 1.7Ghz once so far no problem yet. due to working so i set it back to 1.4Ghz as can't afford to have problem while working.

I downclock to 1GHz. blush.gif Not using any custom rom. Just root+script

Follow the recovery method. Download the update.zip file and copy into USB Storage(Internal SD). Boot into recovery and directly apply the update. Upon pressing the apply update and chosen the file, it takes only 5s or so. Then you reboot your phone. Done!

Do i have to backup any of my apps and contacts etc etc? If i want to unroot just get the file from that website and run it ? Thanks bro . laugh.gif

Definitely NO. Just tested it just now

no need to backup. if you want to unroot it, use the unroot via recovery smile.gif

hehe...


Guys... I rooted my phone, at first downclock to 1GHz, smooth. Now downclock to 800MHz with min frequency set to 125MHz. Still running smooth. Scrolling, gaming(where's my water, angry bird...) no lag at all. But I applied V6 Supercharger script. May that be the difference? Still stock TWLAUNCHER with STOCK 2.3.6ROM.

*
Didn't quite notice that. It might be earphone issue. Music thing is quite sensitive. Depends on Source and Driver. Sometimes, it might be earphone problem, being too sensitive, picking up even minimal noise thus the hissing. I've not encounter that though. I mean... Pairing my earphone with W.

How to know whether the phone have been rooted.
I runned the zergrush and it said all done and i also downloaded cwm recovery but when i tried to install busybox it said that the phone not yet rooted.
Is there a way to know whether the phone is rooted.
Thanks.....
*
Check your 'About Phone' to see your rom version. Is it 2.3.6? If it's 2.3.6, zergrush won't work. Use recovery method. In fact that one is even easier...
