For Paranoid 1.6, which file i need to download?

ThunderBolt-CWM 80MB LMK Others addon v2.0.zip?

then flash it using CWM right? what is differences between the different zip?
*
The main CWM, and the LMK. 80MB LMK is a good choice to start with smile.gif

The different zips are:
- Restore Pack
- Main CWM
- Addons (LMK, screenstate_scaling and some others)

what is the differences between this script with v6 supercharger???
*
ThunderBolt! is a whole scripting package while V6 Supercharger only focuses on the LMK. ThunderBolt! has it's own LMK addon that has the same Supercharger engine, but ThunderBolt! values applied to it.

Try the main CWM:
ThunderBolt-CWM v2.7.7.zip

LMK:
ThunderBolt-CWM 80MB LMK Others addon v2.0.zip

If you're using Samsung stock ROM, screenstate_scaling:
ThunderBolt-CWM screenstate_scaling addon v2.0.2.zip

isit necessary to load the scripts with scripts manager?
because right after i flashed it and reboot phone then i run terminal emulator to test the scripts and from the result, it seem the scripts already loaded even before i run it with script manager.

i wish to include your scripts into my own customized stunner 1.6.26 rom but not sure the right to do it. can i just copy those script files into the respective folders and add the lines to set permission in updater_script?

thanks

Only certain scripts need to be loaded in Script Manager. I've stated in the first post in XDA that:
- remount needs to be loaded as it should be the last script that is running so that it will survive the kernel doing a remount when booting
- zipalign can be done in Script Manager to hasten boot time.
- sqlite_optimize can be done in Script Manager to hasten boot time

The "How do I know if it works" section only validates some portion of the scripts (not including the remount etc).

You can include it if you include proper credits.

Copy whatever in the /system and add the lines to set permission in updater_script smile.gif

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Ok actually here's my concern, let's say i've included your scripts into the rom, how to load those scripts (remount, zipalign, sqlite_optimize) without having the rom user manually load those scripts with Script Manager?

Yes of cos proper credits will be given biggrin.gif

You'll need to put it in /etc/init.d

Putting it init.d will slow down boot up though as the scripts will need to be done before boot up occurs, which prompted me to use Script Manager instead.

Oic.. ok thank you very much. I'll give it a try. rclxms.gif


Added on July 18, 2012, 4:20 pmBy the way when you said add those script files into /etc/init.d, do you mean all files from the /etc/bolt_scripts or just those certain files only (remount, sqlite_optimize, s70darky_zipalign & S98CFS)?

I has tried CWM flash ThunderBolt-CWM v2.7.7.zip + ThunderBolt-CWM 80MB LMK Others addon v2.0.zip.
I have done the instruction as website said.

But,
How to find out if it works:
sysctl -a | grep vm

The result i get is different:
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 20
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20

The result of Add-On "getprop | grep ADJ" is same.

Is it okey?

You might have a script that overrides ThunderBolt!'s settings or yuor kernel prevents ThunderBolt! from changing the VFS values.

Oops, not VFS, but VM. Virtual Memory.

What's xxtweaker?

Might be. Not sure. Try uninstalling the tweaker and see if you can get the correct values. If not, then the kernel itself is blocking vm settings from being set from sysfs interfaces.

I will try later. It's not important for VM setting?

What do you mean? VM settings are part of ThunderBolt! that affects how good it is smile.gif

I installed it on HTC Inc S Custom ROM AOKP. So far it run ideally. But I want to benchmark.. can you tell me good software to benchmark after I run all of your script without based on "good" feeling?

battery, cpu or any kind of benchmark in term of "saving" this and that.

Because, when I read your script description, i feel good and it will save my battery. haha. any idea?

To perform a proper benchmark, you should tune the CPU and GPU frequency to the maximum (i.e, minimum and maximum is 1.2GHz for example). Anything lesser than that will lead to inconclusive scores.

You can use ChainFire's Benchmark or Antutu as a yardstick, but don't dwell too much on the scores. Some tweaks like the I/O scheduler might be worse off as it seeks to balance the synchronous and asynchronous processes that might affect what the outcome of the benchmark is smile.gif

Edit: The one thing you can measure though, is the battery life and smoothness of your day to day operations, as those are the ones that actually mean something to you right?

It doesn't matter if your benchmark scores are the highest, but scrolling to a screen is laggy. (I could make ThunderBolt! be a good performer on benchmark, but your battery and performance would be bad).

Yes, exactly. I don't care about the score anyway but why I ask this question in the first place? blush.gif I confused myself. rclxub.gif sorry for that.

So I guess it will be based on our day to day usage with "good" feeling. I will monitor my battery life for few days and I shall let you know the result for now.

Thanks for the script! icon_rolleyes.gif
