[FIX] Ultra & Super Smooth Sense 4.0 Launcher (Rosie) + AutoRotate + Supercharged

Sense 4.1 launcher on base 2.17.401.2 renders this mod obsolete, the launcher is 60fps smooth and locked, with full 3d widget and LWP, an amazing achievement HTC, keep it up!

This mod is only for Sense 4.0 bases but you can still use this thread to supercharge your ROM

This mod is reverse .smali rewrite that's actually changing with each Sense release from HTC, requires lots of testing and many times major recoding, code samples can be found in this post in other words its not a simple variable switch

Ultra Smooth Launcher locks the frame rate during page scroll in Sense launcher (Rosie.apk)

Essentially it's an optimization which forces Rosie to flatten the layers depth effect in Sense widgets, this effect is resource heavy and the reason for frame drops or stutter, the stock kernel rarely ramps the CPU clock beyond 1GHz or 2 cores in Sense launcher, which is good for both the battery and temps but causes random lag when dealing with this effect.

It's available in two flavors: screenshots

Super Smooth Rosie
This will keep the layered widgets in the intial screen you begin scrolling from and freezes/flattens all the other pages until you stop scrolling.
It will satisfy those who don't want to completely lose the effect. There might still be a very slight frame rate drop during the initial 3D flip.
This mod is applied to both FxWorkspace.smali and FxWorkspaceClient.smali

Ultra Smooth Rosie
This mod goes even further, it completely disables the layers effect by flattening and freezing all homescreens during scroll. Locked liquid smooth 60fps!
Any lag or stutter you experience at this point is not caused by Sense launcher.
This mod is applied to both FxWorkspace.smali and FxWorkspaceClient.smali

Remaining random stutter & lag
Any stutter you experience after applying ultra smooth is no longer self caused by the Sense launcher itself.
You need to remember that switching ROMs every two days, means nothing will ever be smooth, simply because ROMs needs a while to settle everything and cache.
Equally Android's multitasking priority groups are likely to blame, you can try the following to apply Supercharger's OOM priority fixes and reduce random stutter.
There might still be a downloaded app or widget running amok in the background, running task manager will help you identify problematic apps.

Increase Interface Response
If this is not included in your ROM by default, add the following to build.prop, this will be added if you choose Miscellaneous & 3G tweaks in supercharger
windowsmgr.max_events_.per_sec=200

UI Frame Rate Cap
This line is not needed since ICS is 60 by default, but if you add it to build.prop you will limit the UI FPS to your liking for example if you like 30fps, make sure to include the spaces:
persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT = 60

Warnings
This will only work on ROMs based on the ruu file number included in the zip filename, therefore you will lose any mod applied to rosie, such as transparent app drawer or themes, you can ask forum members to provide an updated version of these mods or you can search in this thread many members are posting their version of this mod, also note if you ever uninstalled and restored the sense launcher through Titanium backup this zip file won't work, since TB restores the launcher to system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk, so you will have to unzip, rename and manually push the file.

Poll [VOTE] Do you want Official Sense Launcher locked @ 60FPS?
Please contribute to this poll! in the hope that HTC will remove this effect in future version of Sense or at the least provide an options to disable it and so provide an out of box locked smooth launcher experience.
A locked smooth launcher concludes the initial perception of the device performance.
[UPDATE] Success! stock launcher is now locked 60fps smooth on update 2.17.401.2

Requests
Post your requests for specific ROMs and other Sense 4.0 devices and if myself or some other fellow XDAer find the time, we will apply it, you are required to post Rosie.apk along with the device name and firmware number.

Developers
You are welcome to include this mod, just please give credits

Donations
This mod in all its version took so much time from umy life, backtracking through the smali Rosie code, endless trying and testing, there was no global variable for this setting so i kept trying until i found out how to control the scrolling behavior with minimal code manipulation, so if this mod totally rocked your world or made your own ROM better, please consider donating, it will help encourage my future work and help my wife in forgiving me

Supercharger's patched services.jar for One X base 1.29.401.11

Attached are the patched services.jar file for those who like to try Superchager, keep in mind this thing is advanced and controversial too

For those using with customized ROMs simply upload your services.jar and use supercharger's webapp to patch it once uploaded you can download it as a CWR zip file, keep in mind this will only patch it to the recommended DieHard

Files for stock Base 2.15.401.5 are posted in here

Files for stock Base 2.05.401.2 are posted in here

---------------------------

About the different services.jar patches

This patches android's ADJ priority grouping in order to give better priority to the home launcher, reduce stutter and reloads

it comes in three versions:


Die-Hard Which is the default values of supercharger, makes the launcher very hard to kill unless a full screen app like a game is loaded and overrides it, it's advised to use this one and not the other two

HardToKill This is one step lower in priority than Die-Hard, still prevents launcher from reloading, this is the best for gaming

BulletProof This gives the maximum priority to the launcher and hence even harder to kill, this might cause performance issues with full screen apps like games or cause stutter in music

ICS Stock priority values for ICS, which HTC changed some of them in their version, try them out if you are only using Apex launcher

Stock The default HTC chosen launcher priority values


For the new comers all you need is the Die-Hard patch and the stock patch nearby in case you need to go back to stock

keep in mind the patch will wipe both caches, so u must wait for things to settle again before you can judge results

---------------------------

Quick Guide

- Nandroid backup!

- Download and flash the attached Supercharger Die-Hard patch

- Download the latest script from here (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC9_Test_x.sh.pdf, rename from .sh.pdf to .sh), this file will most likely be updated so download the latest you can find, ignore the other scripts

- Download Script Manager

- Run script manager and choose browse as root from the settings

- Run the downloaded the script, choose the SU (run as root) BUT NOT THE BOOT option

- The script will run slow at first, so be patient as it gets done with it's admittedly lengthy presentation

- It will automatically go to Driver's console, most of the options in here are untested on the One X

- Select 0 or 1 for scrolling speed (0 is faster), NO for miscellaneous & 3G tweaks, NO for fix emissions on boot, No for wheel alignment, NO for detailing on boot, YES to disable v6 animation

- It will now attempt to automatically apply SuperMinFree calculator, select NO again

- Finally you have have control, current minfrees are the stock memory multitasking values, so if you just want to keep them as they are, choose option 10 and select NO for calculator values and then select YES to supercharge the current stock minfrees (multitasking values)

- Otherwise you can select any other option from 1 to 9 to select you taste of Memory multitasking values, I went with option 7 for a balanced setup, you can choose option 9 Super 1000HP if gaming is most important for you at the expense of multitasking

- It should say Launcher is Die-Hard and Supercharger level is 100% at the bottom

- Ignore all other options or do it on your own, Nitro Lag nullifier is untested on the One X and kernelizer is causing issues like killing 2 CPU cores

- Remember you can always change the minfree values on the fly, or set up a script manager widget

- To uninstall select the unsupercharger option, reboot to recovery and flash the stock services.jar file

good luck!

---------------------------

About Miscellaneous & 3G tweaks

If you choose Yes from the driver options it will add the following to build.prop

windowsmgr.max_events_.per_sec=200

will increase interface and touch response (you can always add it yourself to build.prop if its not there)

the script will also add

persist.sys.purgeable_assets = 1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

as well as 3G tweaks so test your 3G to see if its good, otherwise you can set it NO again from driver options

New versions of the script will mess with the SD and VM size with this option, these are no good for HOX so choose NO

---------------------------

About Supercharger script

Supercharger is an advanced script to control android multitasking, memfrees, fix launcher priorities and nail launcher stutters/lags, its made by Zeppelinrox

Remember you will need one of the attached HardToKill, DieHard or BulletProof patches in order for Supercharger to work properly
