DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED FOR THIS AS I NO LINGER HAVE THIS DEVICE
Not that it really needs it, the I337 on NC1 is a beast in terms of phones...
Confirmed Roms:
GoldenEye 34 - 37
PhoeniX 9+
CarHD 28+
CarHD 2.2
Deadly Venom(s)
Maple Leaf
Make sure the rom you are on has the latest busybox installed.
Flash in Safestrap, or whatever recovery you have, and it'll do the rest. This should work any Samaung device that are Android 2.3 and up, I only have devices that are HoneyComb and up, and it's been tested on them, and works great on them... TEST and USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
What does it do Kev?
- Vacuum's SQLite every 4 days
- Zip-Aligns all User Data APK's every 3 days (if you choose)
- Cleans Caches, Logs, Tombstones, etc... every week
- Tweaks Your systems I/O
- Makes your Mobile and Wifi Networks faster
- Bumps your Wifi scan to every 300 seconds (battery saver)
- Enables some Dalvik VM Flags to optimize the loading and executing of all your apps
- Enables Dalvik to execute in the Java JIT
- Bumps your Dalvik Heaps a tad (let's face it... we got 2G of RAM, so why not?)
- Moves your Dalvik to your /cache partition, leaving you a bit more room for more apps
- Removes ext4 Journalism on your internal system storage (big time performance boost)
- Forces your Launcher into Memory (yes this will take up a bit more RAM, however, your launcher will be much more responsive)
- Remounts your devices system, data, and cache partitions explicitly, no updating timestamps, and asyncronous I/O calls
- Tweaks your External SD Card read-ahead
- Calibrates your Battery if it needs it
- De-Odexs a rom (provided you still have the classes.dex files in your APKs... for now)
- Enables true init.d support to devices that are bootloader locked
- De-Bloats Galaxy S4 Devices of Samsung, GApps, and AT&T Bloatware (gives you the choice of what to remove, and will only work for the S4)
- Big Time Thanks to @SkywalkerZ for letting me use his Smart De-Bloater
- Logs most actions to /sdcard
But, why do I need it Kev?
In all honesty, you probably don't. Personally I wanted a little more oomph outta my device, so here we are... Not that there's anything wrong with the default, but me being on a locked bootload, I don't get the luxury of being able to flash custom kernels to suit most of these needs
This is awesome Kev, how can I thank you enough?
Hit the thanks button, or use my Copy referral link in my signature to get us both some extra cloud space.
Can I run it manually?
Sure. Grab a terminal emulator and type the following.
Code:
su
sh /system/etc/init.d/10KevsTweaks
sh /system/etc/init.d/11KevsDalvikMover
sh /system/etc/init.d/12KevsZipAlignerUPDATE 6/21/2014:
