There is no need to copy ALL the scripts. Copy only these you need to use.
I mean to check if the file has executable permissions in order to be able to run as boot script

I still don't get it.. again, how can i check if the file has executable permission?

Unchecking this option will result to default stock values for low memory. You may try if they are suitable for you. Otherwise, you have to find one because I'm not expert on these values. If you know what values you want to use I can help you with the script.

Tested, but it seems the same. On or off the ram:min free in the tweak app feels the same. The desktop has to reload itself after playing a game or using an app. Plus, I cannot install nothing from market because it says no available space! Don't know what to do....

Well, I'm not sure why you can't install anything from the market. Sounds like you have run out of space on one of your partitions?? Bring up a terminal and do a 'df'. Any listed as close to 100%?

As for RAM, I think you can download the app "Galaxy Tuner" from the market and adjust the RAM settings there. Some of the other functions don't work under GB, but I believe the memory tweaking does. Just visit the "Memory Manager" section, and you might want to lower the sliders for SS, HA, CP...

I know this is a dumbest question but what does under and overvolting do? Also will it drain more my battery if I oc?

Check if there is a script in /system/etc/init.d that tweaks the memory left there from flashing a rom or othet kernel?

.:SiLvErHuNk:.


Basically you are changing the voltage supplied to the CPU. The over- and under- refer to some reference voltage value, which will say is the stock value. More voltage than stock uses more power and generates more heat, but will also make signals in the chip stronger. This generally means the chip is more stable, consistent, etc. Less voltage uses less power, generates less heat, but can result in weaker signals and maybe an unstable chip.

With desktop PC's, people who want to overclock their CPU's will often have to over-volt them as well to get them to be stable. This may also require more aggressive cooling on the chip to account for the increased heat.

For these handhelds, often we want to undervolt to save battery power. Due to manufacturing tolerances, some CPU's can be undervolted and overclocked more than others while still remaining stable.

Overclocking (running the CPU at a higher frequency than spec) and overvolting are two completely different things, although as I mentioned it may be the case that you need to overvolt the CPU in order to stably overclock it.

I am in kind of an argument at Darkys site.

ONe guy says that I need to use CF-Root ext 4 although I was already lagfix enabled from DarkCore 2.9.2 when I flashed 1.3.3.

I am having NO problems whatsoever

is he right ?

What do you mean? If you have already converted your file system to ext4 no need to do this again.
On a terminal emulator run this

mount | grep ext4

and check that there are patitions on "type ext4"

opera

Hi, before the latest update (1.3.2) my opera browser got closed every time I opened another application, it was quite annoying.
Now, after updating to 1.3.3, it closes only if I open several memory heavy apps.

The 3rd line in the change log has no meaning for me, so Im curious if I only imagine that it got better, or it really have.

Oh thank you..
You explained it and I'm now clear :D

:( if I read this before using the adb shell; things would have been easier..


A question: when I use "adb shell ls", i've got this "end of characters" in the list, for example:

←[1;34macct←[0m


In order to make it disappear, I change the alias of "ls" after i go to the shell.

Code:
#alias ls='ls --color=never'

that works only for that particular shell of course, when i exit and come back again, that won't work.

Is there something I can do to make this permanent?

    This is a kernel rebuilt from the latest updated gingerbread sources and based on the CF-Root kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108).

    Features

    - Voodoo Sound v10
    - Voodoo Color
    - OC/UV (1200MHz, 1300MHz)
    - BLN
    - CWM v5.0.2.7
    - Speedmod color fix
    - Patched with the latest Samsung kernel sources.
    - JVU initramfs
    - compiled with Linaro GCC 4.6.2 toolchain
    - O3 and other compiler optimizations
    - 337 MB available RAM (353 bigmem versions - it breaks 720 video recording)
    - Auto brightness driver
    - Reworked cpufreq driver. cpu states 100-200-400-800-1000/1200/1300.
    - Bundled with Semaphore Script Manager to v0.62
    - su binary v3.0.3.2
    - Governor ondemand (default)
    - ondemand: sampling_down_factor tunable by momentum
    - Governor conservative (module)
    - Governor smartassV2 (module)
    - Noop I/O scheduler (default)
    - Deadline I/O Scheduler (module)
    - Simple I/O Scheduler (module)
    - Netfilter (iptables) as modules
    - CIFS as module
    - TUN as module
    - Logcat disabled (as module only)
    - cpufreq statistics as module (is loaded by default)
    - Standard network packet scheduler
    - Kernel log buffer size 4KB (from 128KB)
    - deleting boot sounds procedure creates backup on /data/local
    - Battery polling to 60 seconds
    - jhash3
    - No debug info
    - TinyRCU
    - HZ=256
    - CPU frequency on stock music player when screen off to 400 MHz
    - /system/etc/init.d directory creation if not exist
    - Custom boot animation
    - HM.Cardide's Addon scripts.
    - VM dirty chainfire's tweak as script
    - Kernel scheduler tweak as script
    - noatime chainfire's tweak by default
    - OC test scripts to 1200MHz, 1300MHz (Script Manager)
    - enabled /proc/config.gz
    - bootloop detection (clears init.d directory, if the phone does not complete 2 minutes of normal operation)
    - Script to change /cache to virtual 50MB (in case you want to download apps > 30MB from Market)
    Make sure to disable this option before convert to ext4. You may enable this after the conversion

    In order to control voodoo sound and color and BLN you have to download Voodoo Control and BLN control applications respectively from android market.
    The max CPU frequency is by default 1Ghz.
    You may use applications like Voltage Control to control UV.

    In order to load various modules of the kernel and enable or disable features use HM.Carbide's Semaphore Script Manager application. It automatically copies and runs the respective scripts from /res/scripts to /system/etc/init.d directory. The scripts:

    - S05enable_oc_1000_default (disable overclocking)
    - S05enable_oc_1200 (enable overclocking to 1200MHz)
    - S05enable_oc_1300 (enable overclocking to 1300MHz)
    - S10enable_gov_conservative (load and enable conservative governor module)
    - S10enable_gov_ondemand_default (enable ondemand governor)
    - S10enable_gov_smartassV2 (load and enable conservative smartassV2 module)
    - S15enable_sched_deadline (load and enable the deadline I/O scheduler module)
    - S15enable_sched_noop_default (enable noop scheduler)
    - S15enable_sched_sio (enable and load SIO scheduler module)
    - S20enable_netfilter (load netfilter modules for firewall or WiFi, USB tethering)
    - S25enable_sm_cold (enable SpeedMod cold preset)
    - S25enable_sm_neutral (enable SpeedMod neutral preset)
    - S25enable_sm_warm (SpeedMod warm preset)
    - S30enable_logger (enable logging)
    - S35enable_tun (load tun module)
    - S40enable_cifs (load cifs module)
    - S42enable_bl_dis (disable bootloop detection)

    For more information check the semaphore kernel website: www.semaphore.gr

    Please check first the F.A.Q. article if you have any questions and before post in this thread.

    For questions or issues about Semaphore Script Manager please visit HM.Carbide thread

    You may find custom Semaphore specific boot animations here.
