UPDATE
- v5.0 universal zip (this post is now deprecated - please go to the lastest post)
Due to popular requests, I decided to make a zip with most of my tweaks. Applying the zip below will:
- Installs busybox 1.18.0 (in an alternate location).
- Enables Cron.
- Tweaks kernel stuff (vm, minfree, etc.).
- Tweaks build.prop (on some ROMs).
- Flushes system caches once a day (3AM PT).
- Disables logger
- Enables new governer.
- and more (in the change logs below).
Here's how you apply the zip (this is standard stuff):
- Back up your ROM! (Some of the stuff in the zip are experimental, and I don't test every release for every ROM, so make sure you have a nandroid backup to go back to!)
- Boot into Bootstrapper/clockworkmod.
- Install zip.
- Reboot.
pgrep -f crondIf you get a number, then you're all good. (The number just means that the process is running in the background, nothing more.)
Downloads
- Liberty DX
- Liberty D2
- Rubix and Apex DX/D2
- Others (Darkslide, Fission, Stock, etc.)
- v3.1: Fixed busybox/crond issue. Separated DX and D2 files - duh.
- v3.2: Fixed wget.
- v3.21 (D2 ONLY): Fixed crond start bug.
- v3.3 (DX/D2), V2.0 (Apex): busybox 1.18.0, made minfree more aggressive for secondary apps (may reduce occasional sluggishness), prettier "ls", got rid of scheduler tweaks which did nothing.
- v4.0:
- Timezone semi-auto detection for cron (US only).
- Additional minfree tweaks to make memory management a bit more aggressive to prevent some reboots and freezes.
- Added bash.
- Added additional cron job examples (backup files including sms datase, killapps - all disabled by default).
- Liberty version has call delay and proximity delay slightly tweaked per Jreguit.
- Purge logs - view /tmp/imosey to see what kind of effects nightly purging has.
- v4.1:
- Changed the purge time from 1AM to 3AM.
- Fixed a bug in timezone detection (doh!)
- Disabled logcat at boot for extra performance, battery, etc - hopefully. (comment in 99imoseyon to disable)
- Added zipalign for system apps at boot. (comment in 99imoseyon to disable)
- Separated crond startup to a separate script for future proofing.
- Added another cron job example in /data/cron/root for soft reboot, and added explanation for each cron job.
- TODO: test the others version for APEX.
- v4.2:
- Disabled zipalign at boot - should fix the no service problem. Sorry about that!
- v4.3:
- Fixed a major bug in the v4.2 of "others", where if you were installing the zip for the first time the mods weren't being applied at all! (sorry)
- Incorporated the minfree tweak from my experimental version.
- Interactive governer for speed! (thx to drod via jrummy via milestone, etc.)
after the install and booted back up how can you confirm that it has been applied?
ReplyDeleteTry "pgrep crond". If you get a number i think you can assume everything worked.
ReplyDeletei tried that command and it did nothing.
ReplyDeletebtw i appreciate your help, i am somewhat a newbie on ROMS and such and this Blog has really helped out alot.
Worked for me. Thanks a lot. I was just starting to apply some of these manually, and *refresh* here's a zip with all of them rolled in.
ReplyDeleteMatt, that's odd. Can you verify that /etc/init.d/99imoseyon file is there and the bottom of the file contains cron related commands.
ReplyDelete>#/etc/init.d/99imoseyon

above is what i got when i typed /etc/init.d/99imoseyon in.
what should i do now?
Whoa which rom are you running?
ReplyDeleteLiberty 1.5 I dont think i am installing this correctly or i am not doing something right i just wiped my phone and reinstalled the ROM plus just installing zip from sd your zip file and it still want go through...
ReplyDeleteYikes you shouldn't have to wipe the phone. What happens if you just type "crond -h" from terminal emulator?
ReplyDeletecrond not found.
ReplyDeletethis stinks i really would like to get this fixed.
when i installed this zip file all you have to do is select and let it install and reboot right? you dont have to do anything else in Bootstraper?
i get "crond: not found" when entering "crond -h" after flashing your zip
ReplyDeleteThe zip breaks auto-rotate on the D2. Its checked in display settings but only rotates when physical keyboard is out using any application.
ReplyDeleteAhh I think I know. What if you type "busybox crond -h"?
ReplyDeleteHyatari, that's very possible. I think build.prop tweak must have done it. Restore the file from the rom zip file and reboot?

Also do you have the droid x overclock app dev by Jrummy? if you do how would you go about setting that up?
again you are helping me more than you know and i truly appreciate your help!
Matt, awesome. I'll have a fix in an hour or so. As for jrummys app sorry. I've used quickclock before and found it to be a good app.
ReplyDeleteHyatari, I'll have a fix for you tonight too.
Cool man thanks. Really like your site and the info u provide here. Will keep an eye out for the fix.
ReplyDeleteThank you again i appreciate your time doing this!
ReplyDeleteok DX fix is up.
ReplyDeleteD2 zip is also up...

I dont know if this is right?
yup try "pgrep crond"
ReplyDeletepgrep crond showed nothing...
ReplyDeleteoh man haha and you flashed v3.1? Also try "busybox crond -c /data/cron", and "ls -l /data/cron"?
ReplyDeleteOh matt one more thing. Try "pgrep -f crond".
ReplyDeleteImoseyon, I heard that busybox 1.17.1 breaks wget. Have you had this issue?
ReplyDeleteAlso Matt your problem might be, try a fresh install of liberty but let it boot once. Then flash this after the initial boot.
ReplyDeleteJregruit, you're right it looks like it can't resolve names for wget. I don't think it's an issue though unless you got an app that requires rooted wget access. I'm gonna build a binary from the latest source anyway - will take me a few days to test of course.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty positive liberty toolbox uses wget to grab themes, apps, ect.
ReplyDeleteheh, i put the old busybox back in and wget still can't resolve names - go figure.
ReplyDeleteWill this work or even help stock (no modified ROM) DX that has been rooted?
ReplyDeletehey man i think it is working i am acutally getting some stuff back i dont know what it means but here it is. Thanks man

Droid 2 running Liberty 1.5. I installed your .zip. No issues on the install. Will update in a day or two with feedback.
ReplyDeleten0tsane: it won't work on stock rooted ROM. I do have an idea how to get it to work though. Let me know if you're brave enough to be a guinea pig.
ReplyDeletematt: haha yeah it's running fine, but you do have three instances running so it might be good to do a reboot.
Jregruit: I have a fix for the wget problem. Will have an updated zip later this afternoon.
Sounds good. I have it all done manually for now anyways except I don't have the minfree at 80, have it at 100. It's more fun to do this stuff manually and learn it imo.
ReplyDeleteOK! v3.2 (fixes wget) is up!
ReplyDelete@Jregruit, true that.
I'm thinking of trying Liberty, but I'll try your idea as long as it doesn't brick the phone.
ReplyDeleten0tsane: unfortunately it might, so unless you're proficient with the SBF's I'd go with the Liberty route.
ReplyDeleteGot liberty, loaded your new zip, verified it was working by the pgrep command. Rebooted and its still running. Have nothing to judge by since this is my first ROM load, but liberty is much faster than stock that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks man i appreciate your help! i did reboot my phone and pgrep -f crond and got only one instance of numbers! thanks man for your help again!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just applied the zip but my phone becomes very laggy ( like when scrolling through lists and pulling down the status bar). Am I doing something wrong or is there anything I should change to make it run smoothly again?
ReplyDeleteThanks
heh, it's supposed to get faster, not slower! You running Liberty 1.5? And rebooting doesn't help either?
ReplyDeleteI'm running Liberty 1.5 on my D2, and I am still fuzzy on the whole Linux init script priority system.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the system do with both the 99complete script and the 99imoseyon script in the init.d directory? Is that a conflict, or did I miss something in the zip about removing/renaming the Liberty script?
Thanks for writing up your experiments. You have suddenly become the useful resource on the internet for my phone. :)
Daniel, it will execute both. As for which one will execute first depends on how the init.d support was implemented, but luckily for us it doesn't matter which executes first.
ReplyDeleteYes, Liberty 1.5. And I have rebooted. Also, is there way to increase the battery life? It seems like no matter what numbers I try for the kernel/build.prop, my battery life is still pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteYPaul,
ReplyDeletethat's really weird. not sure what to tell ya. I'd try the zip again, and you can also revert back by reinstalling liberty.
As for battery life, my tweaks are supposed to help with that too.... Undervolting will also help.
Hey man I was wondering something I was messing around and wiped my phone again but booted and installed liberty again. I also have your zip loaded but I do not have sysctl checked on the GUI do I need to physically set those settings or does your zip take care of it?
ReplyDeleteAlright thanks for the help...yeah I was actually wondering the same thing. Do I need to uncheck the sysctl boxes in liberty settings and droid overclock settings or will your tweaks override them no matter what
ReplyDeletehey guys, my zip completely overrides liberty toolbox stuff as far as sysctl is concerned - you don't have to do anything. :)
ReplyDeletejust updated all the zips
ReplyDeletehey man guess what???
ReplyDeleteInstall went perfect! no problems this time around! thanks for the update man... now if i can just learn how to overclock my x with droid overclock i will be a happy camper... lol
Hey how come when I go to terminal emulator and type busybox it says I'm running version 1.16.1?
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to change from 1 am the cleare cache ? Its pretty early for me and im usually still using the phone at that time
ReplyDeleteypaul, to maintain compatibility with the ROMs I installed the new version at an alternate location. the necessary commands like telnet, crond, etc. are symlinked to the new binary.
ReplyDeletewilliam, yes you can modify /data/cron/root. Change the "1" in 0 1 * * * to another number.
ReplyDeletei am using darkslide rom and i have installed this zip 4 time and when i do the pgrep -f crond i get nothing back??
ReplyDeleteyikes, this isn't tested on darkslide at all. Let me see if I can cook something up for you.
ReplyDeletejason, i kinda looked through darkslide files, and I think the zip for Apex could work? did you try that one?
ReplyDeleteInstalled the zip and it went perfectly... running much faster :) do I need tocchange anything in the liberty toolbox or Droid overclock? Will they overwrite this if I have them set on boot? Oh and how do I change the time that it flushes the system? Thanks for the great work man!
ReplyDeleteThank you I.will give the apex zip a shot
ReplyDeleteAlvin, no my zip will override the toolbox app so you're safe there. To change the time, you modify the /data/cron/root file.
ReplyDeleteNo it is not working either ...thanks though for your good work!
ReplyDeleteI didn't read all the comments, but I thought I'd point out an issue I had....
ReplyDeleteThis zip seems to break quickclock for rubix. It seems to no longer recognize the rom as rubix after installing this zip and consequently it activates the protection that would stop someone from using it with another rom.
Jason, interesting - i will play around with darkslide this weekend when i have time.
ReplyDeleteJames, i think that's because of build.prop. I might have to create a separate zip for rubix... For now if you restore the build.prop that comes with rubix and reboot you should be good.
James, I have the Rubix version up now. Unfortunately for you, you'll need to restore the build.prop manually. If you haven't extracted it from the original Rubix zip, you can flash my new zip and you will find it at /system/build.prop.dx.orig.
ReplyDeletethank you
ReplyDeleteI switched from Liberty 1.5 to Rubix 1.9.7. My About Phone > MOD/ROM Version = Liberty 1.5 still. I understand that this is in the build.prop. I tried to use Droid Explorer and replace the one that came with the Rubix zip, but it still shows Liberty 1.5 there. How do I replace the build.prop correctly?
ReplyDeleteyou need to remount /system first. Root Explorer is what I would use. If you're still having trouble let me know, I can build you a special zip to restore the build.prop.
ReplyDeleteI'm still new to this. I figured it out. Just created my own zip which replaced the build.prop and installed it. Probably wasn't the safest thing to try on my own, but it seemed to have fixed the problem.
ReplyDeleteAlright Jason, give it a shot for darkslide. It should work now.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch!....in terminal I got the output
ReplyDelete1279 ...I am assuming this is correct right?
yup you're good to go jason!
ReplyDeleteHey what about for fission??
ReplyDeletewilliam, i think the apex version will probably work. You wanna give it a shot?
ReplyDeleteI probably shouldn't have asked this BEFORE I installed it (successfully, checked in the terminal also) but what exactly does this do for my phone? I read the intro but I was wondering if you could break it down to layman's terms. Also, does the number I getp after running the script mean anything?
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm on a Droid x with liberty 1.5
ReplyDeleteYa ill install it here in a few then get back to you on how it does
ReplyDeletexCHRISTIANx, it should make your phone more stable, faster, and last longer. (well for majority of you anyway). As for the number - if you get a number that means crond is running in the background.
ReplyDeletealright so far it stable. i got a number when i typed in the command so all good there.
ReplyDeletealso will i need to flash this again if i change themes and does it stick after a reboot or will it need to be continually re-flashed?
Hey how come sometimes the phone gets extremely hot and the battery drains like crazy while other times it runs extremely cool and gets magnificent battery life?
ReplyDeletewilliam: nope, no need to reflash, it won't interfere with themes, and it will stick at every boot.
ReplyDeleteYPaul: I suspect there's something else going on. Your phone will also get very hot and drain battery when you're using 3g data heavily and/or if you're in an area where 3g coverage is spotty.
Hey guys, v4.0 is up.
ReplyDeleteUpdated if any problems will let you know. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI since it's not a big deal, but the backup script is enabled by default.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm on apex 1.4.0 after a factory reset. I downloaded this mod's zip from "others" section and after reboot I keep getting a message that System isn't responding and I can either force close or wait, then it takes me to a blank screen. I tried wiping cache but it still won't work. Has anyone else had this problem? I've factory reset twice. Works fine with Apex alone but as soon as install this zip from SD card I get the force close. Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteTo change the time, all we do is modify /data/cron/root and change the "1" in 0 1 * * * to another number? Do we have to change the "50 2 * * *" or the "0 2 * * *" to correspond?
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem as GenoManX
ReplyDeleteGenomanx and kelly, that's really weird.
ReplyDeleteTry the old version?
http://db.tt/o7rkkBR
Milan, doh I think you are right. That's okay though - it won't hurt.
ReplyDeleteEljoven, you don't need to modify the second line.
Yup, no biggie! Thanks again for the great work man. :)
ReplyDelete2.0 Worked. let me know if i can provide any info for trouble shooting. thanks a mil!
ReplyDeletethanks for the report, Kelly. i'm going to have to install Apex to see what's going on.
ReplyDelete@genomanx .....this is a known issue with apex and has nothing to do with this build prop tweak ...it has been going on since version 1.3.1 of apex ....if you go to the apex wiki posted in the first post of the apex thread fab has a link to the wiki where you can find more on this .....its basically a glitch in his startup script
ReplyDeletev4.1 is up. As for apex, i'd still like to test when i get a chance - maybe sometime today if i'm not busy.
ReplyDeleteOk thanks all, ill try what kelly did and see what happens. @jason thanks for the help but it looks like the older version works w apex. The glitch in the startup script is fixed with a simple reboot. Unfortunately no matter how many times I rebooted I would get a force close.
ReplyDeleteIll try 2.0 tonight.
How do I fix this ran 4.1 and phone force closes and has no service tried to restore back up but every thing remains the same. runninig liberty 1.5.
ReplyDeleteI encountered the same issues as Shane when I applied the 4.1 zip
ReplyDeleteWhen I update the zip, do I have to flash from the original rom, or can I just flash over the previous version?
ReplyDeleteshane/brian, did you guys flash 4.1 over 4.0? DX or D2?
ReplyDeleteYPaul, you can flash over previous version.
@GenoManX-4.1 worked as well. I have put my phone through the paces and no problem so far.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why many ate having issues with 4.1 ...I am on darkslide and updated this morning and have not had any issues .....interesting how it varies
ReplyDeleteI'm on Droid x liberty 1.5 and no problems on 4.1 either.

ReplyDelete@ imoseyon ..hey is there any way to email or pm you through here ....I have a few questions regarding linux and engineering and did not want to post here and get off topic ....if you don't mind ...thanks
ReplyDeleteJason, hit me up on twitter @imoseyon. I rarely use twitter but i do check it every day.
ReplyDelete@imoseyon ...lol thanks I followed but only have 136 characters lol ....I will just ask here ....ok I see your an engineer and obviously know your stuff .....I am currently (first semester)in school and will major in computer science ....I am leaning toward programming or engineering .....would you have any advice for me as far as maybe certain classes or avenues since you have experience .....also with linux I know little as far as command line ...would you be able to point me in the right direction on maybe where to look to advance my knowledge in the linux command line .....thanks again ...sorry to bother you or get this blog off topic ...
ReplyDeleteJason, just emailed you. :)
ReplyDeletedroid 2....4.1 = no service and a bunch of fcs...had to restore a backup
ReplyDeleteEdward, multiple people reported the same problem on the D2. I wonder if it's the zipalign stuff - lemme release an emergency fix.
ReplyDeleteOk v4.2 is up for Liberty users. If my suspicion is correct 4.2 will fix the no service problem. But if you're experiencing the problem you will need to reflash the liberty ROM first (without wiping data) and then flash v4.2. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteu rock!!! ty4alludo
ReplyDeleteoops now that i think about it i think you need to flash v4.2 first and then re-apply the ROM without wiping.
ReplyDelete@imoseyon, i am of course running x with the 4.1 build. I am not experiencing any issues should i update to 4.2?
ReplyDeleteMatt, nah no need
ReplyDeletei flashed liberty over and then applied 4.2 and all was fixed...thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIt appears to be keeping way to much memory free.. like around 260.. used to only keep around 70 free before flashing 4.2... I feel like this isn't what's supposed to happen.. thanks
ReplyDeleteWhen you first reboot your phone you will see a large amount of free RAM, around 200MB or so. After using it a while that should dip within the minfree range and maintain it at that level. With my minfree settings somewhere between 4MB and 80MB - mostly hovering between 60 and 80MB.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDoes applying this ZIP require me to change any of the sysctl settings within Liberty Toolbox? I ran the script via T.E., and the values were correct. Do I need to enable sysctl via Toolbox? Super noob, sorry...
ReplyDeleteShaun, my script overrides liberty sysctl settings completely so you don't need to do anything.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks for the response! I am anxious to see what gains I have the next few days. I don't know whether or not these settings affect quadrant score, but I ran quadrant 3 times last night, and was >1450 each time. Prior to this zip, I had never cracked 1350, even after a reboot! Thanks again, love the site.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what might cause cron to not fire off? I modified mine to run at 4 and 7AM local time (thanks again for the timezone detection! not that I ever change TZs). This morning it only ran at 7, and three days ago neither ran. Yesterday morning the 3AM didn't kick off until 3:15, but the 7 was reasonably close.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's cron not triggering rather than your script not writing out to the log file. The memory and buffer numbers for this morning's 7AM look like the 3AM usually does.
Working great on fission. After about 1d 3h I'm at 30%. Normally I only got 22hrs or so till dead. Haven't flashes 4.2 seeing as how I've not had any problems. Now I just wish I knew what the hell everything you did means haha
ReplyDeleteMilan, that's interesting. You did reboot phone (or restart cron) after modifying the crontab file right? Can you post your crontab file?
ReplyDeleteWilliam, one of these days i'll make another post with detailed explanation as to what each mod does. Most of them are sort of explained in my previous posts here and there though. :)
Everything looks to be running well. I had a question regarding editing system files. I use vi to edit but I keep getting "Read-only file system" errors when I try to tweak some settings. Do I need to mount the system differently, or umount it? I would imagine I have the correct su permissions. Thanks for the easy install zip btw, gives a great baseline, I'd just like to mess around a bit more on my own :-)
ReplyDeleteNick, you will need to remount /system rw. You can do that via root explorer or on some roms you can type "sysrw".
ReplyDeleteaha, i figured it had to be something like that. thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving out all the extra stuff you have commented out. I'm still on 4.1, but I manually commented out the backup script from the crontab file and the zipalign script call from your init script.
ReplyDelete# drop page, dentry and inode caches at 3AM every day and log to /tmp/imosey
0 3,7 * * * date >> /tmp/imosey; free | head -n 2 >> /tmp/imosey; sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; free | grep Mem: >> /tmp/imosey
And here is the output from this morning:

Mem: 488740 483788 4952 0 11580
Mem: 488740 412860 75880 0 104
Oh, and yes, I did restart the phone. I've been using the 3 and 7AM setup for a few days now. Worked one morning for both, then neither the next day, both yesterday, only the 7AM this morning.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I do have Tasker so I'm interested in trying that. I've never done any SL4A scripting though, guess I might have to research it tonight!
Milan, interesting. that should totally work. Let me give it a try on my end. It's very very possible that the busybox crond is buggy. Another thing you can do is duplicate the entry into two:
ReplyDelete0 3 * * * date >> /tmp/imosey; free | head -n 2 >> /tmp/imosey; sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; free | grep Mem: >> /tmp/imosey
0 7 * * * date >> /tmp/imosey; free | head -n 2 >> /tmp/imosey; sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; free | grep Mem: >> /tmp/imosey
That might get busybox to work more reliably.
I'll give it a shot and let you know the results! Thanks again.
ReplyDeletehey guys, i got an experimental version here: http://www.imoseyon.com/2011/02/experimental-mods.html
ReplyDeleteIt seemed to make a pretty big difference for me, but i dunno if it's just me.
imoseyon, I'm not very knowledgeable about all of this stuff, but is there any reason that running v4.1 and undervolting my phone with quickclock would decrease battery life? That is what I have noticed, and I'm really not sure why. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMade the switch to two separate lines, restarted the phone and then this morning no log file. Guess neither ran since the uptime is 14 hours, making spontaneous restart that wiped temp unlikely. I manually sync'd/dropped caches and logged the free mem stats anyway.

I think I'm going to add line to your crontab that writes the date to your logfile every few hours to see what else might be at fault. Also going to test your experimental minfree setup! :D
I ran the experimental 4.2e on droid x running Darkslide 4.2 and when I run the command prompt to check it doesn't show any numbers or anything. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI also ran the etc/init.d/99imoseyon command and it shows the vm ratios but the last three lines are:
ReplyDeleterm failed for /system/bin/pgrep, read-only file system
rm failed for /system/bin/telnetd, read-only file system
rm failed for /system/bin/crond, read-only file system
Milan, you got anything running in the background overnight or while cron is running?
ReplyDeleteDb306, you can ignore the errors. Is crond running after you run the init script manually? You can ignore those errors by the way.
Which init script?
ReplyDeleteI replied with an edit on my most recent post in the sysctl thread over at droidxforums.
ReplyDeletewhat all is different about the experimental version
ReplyDeletedb306, 99imoseyon is the init script.
ReplyDeletewilliam, all it is is a different minfree setting.
I am interested in extra battery life and better performance. I am a very heavy user and usually need to recharge before the day is up.
ReplyDeleteI am using a droid x with liberty 1.5.
What version of this zip do you recommend that I use?
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to use the one listed at the top for Liberty
ReplyDeleteThanks db306, has anyone had luck with the experimental version?
ReplyDeleteYup. I've been running it since it came out. Haven't had any problems and it does seem to increase bat life
ReplyDeleteIs it for the droid x and does wget work?
ReplyDeletefound the main blog entry, nm.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.imoseyon.com/2011/02/experimental-mods.html
and yes, wget should work fine. :)
ReplyDeletethanks imoseyon, you are awesome.
ReplyDeletev4.3 is up!
ReplyDeleteDoes 4.3 (for Liberty/DX) include the smoother-running settings from Rubix that you highlighted on the Rubix vs Liberty page?
ReplyDeleteImoseyon. I just installed Rubix 2.0 and was wondering how many changes your zip will make to the build. I know Drod made a bunch of under the hood changes and was curious what the pros and cons would be?? Thanks
ReplyDeleteAlso on a completely unrelated note. Is anyone having trouble viewing this site on their phone browser? Every time I go to view this site my browser crashes and shuts down. I've tried various other sites with no problem???
ReplyDeleteDoes this: "Incorporated the minfree tweak from my experimental version." means that is frees up as much memory as the experimental version?
ReplyDeleteThe experimental version caused me problems with facebook notifications and some other things.
Seanrinva, yes
ReplyDeleteDb306, I haven't looked at 2.0 yet but based on the change logs he incorporated a couple of tweaks. I think there are still some benefits of installing the zip for the other tweaks though. As for the site, it kinda sucks that blogspot doesn't do a mobile version. Works fine from my browsers though.
Dolphin, actually the setting is not as aggressive as the experimental version. Give it a try and let me know how it works out.
Imoseyon - Awesome! It's been quite some time since I had to use vi, so doing it on the phone was looking a little sketch...
ReplyDeletedb306 - Yes - I was experiencing the crash when I'd come to the I Got a ZIP page (the home page worked fine) on my phone - tried stock browser & Dolphin HD.
Website crashes on droid x running liberty 1.5 under dolphin mini on my setup as well.
ReplyDeletehmmm i think blogspot just sucks. I might migrate over to wordpress...
ReplyDeleteDo you use quickclock on your DroidX?
ReplyDeleteDawit, no i overclock using my own script: http://www.imoseyon.com/2011/01/advanced-overclocking-for-droidx.html
ReplyDeletehaha seems pretty complicated! How's your battery life?
ReplyDeletemy battery life is as good as it can be i think. Your phone spends most of its time at its lowest frequency (300mhz), so as long as you leave that alone or undervolt it, overclocking should not impact your battery performance much.
ReplyDeleteRight.. I was just curious. I'm currently undervolted and overclocked via Quickclock. I don't really think I want to experiment finding my own vsels, as I'm pretty sure I fried a few of my 4 OG Droids overclocking! haha
ReplyDeleteDude, imoseyon, v4.3 on a Droid X w/ Liberty 1.5 FLIES. I have never seen this ridiculous of a performance boost. Is the governor set to Interactive by default, or do I have to do that? Definitely my favorite CPU Governor, was sad to see it go when my OG Droid died and very happy to see it back. Unfortunately I cannot find an easy way to adjust the CPU Governor in QuickClock Advanced... but if your script handles it by default then I'm a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteFrank, interactive is on by default but i may make a ondemand version of the zip as well. My phone random rebooted for the first time in months so I'm wondering if interactive makes it a little unstable.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, please post future comments here instead: http://www.imoseyon.com/2011/03/universal-zip-imoseyon-mods-v50.html
