Sure not. It's just for information. Probably it will say something to author. Or not :)

I have noted a massive fluctuation with atuntu bench marking from massive peaks to really low scores but in my experience everything is quicker and feels smoother when using tweaks :)

A really good way to check is to backup and then clear your init.d folder and how responsive your phone is in comparison to before your reboot :)

Had some odd bugs with the tweaks on stock LPY/francokernel r3.

Nothing major, some issues with page loading on default browser, and some wakeup lockscreen oddities.

Wake locks will not be the fault of this app, it shouldn't affect the browser either but try changing carbon booster to option 7

Please, add option to customize sd-card speed fix value(because just for me 3072 is better than 512). Also it would be great to have "check for updates" option.

Oh, excuese me please, just mistaken you

if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb ]; then
echo "512" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
fi
This is for INTERNAL memory. It should stay as is.

For external SD I thing it shoul be like this
if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/254:0/read_ahead_kb ]; then
echo "3072" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/254:0/read_ahead_kb
But need to be investigated

Its meant to be for internal memory. I will look into a external boost aswell

For internal memory greates results are with 2048(write ~10 mbps read ~ 20 mbps). With 512 write ~10 mbps read ~16mbps

if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/254:0/read_ahead_kb ]; then
echo "3072" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/254:0/read_ahead_kb

really boosted external sd
with default value (1024) write ~ 3 mbps, read ~ 12mbps, with 3072 write ~ 5 mbps, read ~ 17 mbps(I have Transcend 32 gb 4 class sdcard, so for another card it may be another value)
Used as benchmark SD Card Tester.

So, as I can understand, /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb is for memory, mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/254:0/read_ahead_kb is for /mnt/emmc.
Got such results for Paranoid rom(based on CM9).

I've gotten higher than that running this script but I will have a look at it

If you use SD Tools as benchmark, it gives another result(for 512 7.7 mbps write and 46 mbps(!!!) read. And 9.3 mbps write 55.6mbps(OMG) read for 2048). Don't know which one I should better believe, but SD Tools can work only with /sdcard folder.

Its hard to tell i think because Atuntu has given me a figure as high as 90mbps read! I will do some benchmarking and decide what is best

    Free Version Link: http://www.carbonapplications.com/carbon-tweaks.html

    Root access is needed!

    Current Premium Version: V5.2
    Current Lite (Ad Supported) Version: V5.1.1


    Love One-Click Install? You'll love this app!

    This is a simple app that will allow for easier installation of tweaks to speed up your system as well as adding other useful apps and Library's in a oneclick fashion.

    This is a app i developed to help myself learn to code so please give me your opinions and there may be bits in the ui that don't fit on your phone (I designed it on a Galaxy Note). Any Feedback really is appreciated and even if one person finds this useful i will consider it a success

    Main Features:
    Designed for the Galaxy Note
    Ability to Backup and Restore the init.d folder
    Easy install of:
    jBroid
    Bravia Engine
    All Galaxy Note Modems (18 in total)
    ultimateRAMmanager
    Beats Audio Library
    AdBlocker
    Dolby Sound Library
    Carbon Booster
    Other General Tweaks that AlignZips on boot (Only does this on unaligned zips) and boosts 3G speeds.


    Current Bug List:
    AdBlocker will NOT show up in the currently installed list .

    Fill out a Bug Form here to help improve the app!

    Please clear the init.d folder before using this app (You are able to do this in the settings part of the app)
    Some Tweaks will take time to settle so remember you will not reach full performance for a few uses and boots. You should however notice a medium boost straight away which will improve with time.

    Please comment and let me know what you think!

    V1 of the app was released 18/5/2012

    Want a good photo to test the bravia engine with? Use this!

    ALL items on the second page require you to be connected to the internet! All items on the first page are contained within the apk and are offline installs.

    I get Antutu scores of 6700 on the galaxy note running CM9 (This is with the sd read and write not being as high as they usually are for some reason, usually >50mb read)

    Due to the nature of tweaks you may get a decrease for a few days! Please be patient! In my experience benchmarking becomes unreliable when using tweaks such as these!

    Some users are so funny, they just install because it is there not knowing what they are doing.

    reminded me the times when users got virus infected and told me they don't know, they just press enter enter and this happens :)

    There's nothing wrong with someone being a NOOB that's what EXPERTS are here, and if you think asking for help is funny then you are here for the wrong reasons..
