[Script]Loopy Smoothness Tweak[TUT]

---

requires Root (Superuser/Busybox), and a kernel that supports "init.d" scripts (script files that are stored in /system/etc/init.d/).

The script also has a partner called V6 supercharger they go pretty well together heres a link to the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox



this script is so easy to use but users might have problems using it so here is a easy install for you all to use i have converted it to run on non samsung phones by renaming the file and removing processes connected to the stock samsung apps

1. Have Clockwork recovery installed
2. Download the update.zip from the bottom of the post
3. Reboot into recovery and install the update.zip

Now for the really easy part

Using Root Explorer navigate to ect/init.d and select mount RW now scroll down to the "97loopy_smoothness_tweak" file and open it in the text editor within root explorer and you will see the 3 main sections to the script they are called

At the start of the script you will see this

USER_LAUNCHER=""

you need to add the launcher you currently use so that it gets locked in

• Resident system apps
• Other system apps
• Other apps

in the 3 sections you will see lines one code that look the same which are

if [ $PROCESS_1 -eq "0" ]; then PNAME="com.android.phone"; NICELEVEL=-20; if [ `pidof $PNAME` ]; then renice $NICELEVEL `pidof $PNAME`; PROCESS_1=1; P_CHECK=`expr $P_CHECK + 1`; fi; fi;

All you do to add a app you want to keep in memory for as long as possible is to edit the script and change these values for e.g the stock dialer to go contacts

PNAME="com.android.phone";

to

PNAME="com.japps.contactpro";

that will keep Go Contacts EX locked in the background so everytime you wish to use the GC EX dialer you wont have to wait for it redrawing before using it.

To find the process names goto the data/data folder and all the folders you see in there are the process names used by the apps e.g. the com.android.vending folder is the process name for the vending.apk aka market app.

Just to let users no this script will not auto start the apps on reboot and once you first select the app you have added to the script after reboot you will have to wait for the app to redraw the app again into the memory slot once it has done that the app will remain in a cache type(hidden) form until you run the app again then it will return to ram in the foreground.

- Having smoother notifications on the status bar, and smoother pulldown menu response
- Minimising Launcher lag while Media Scanner is running (can scroll through screens without heavy pauses)
- Minimising lag when scrolling through the market while icons are still loading
- Installing/Uninstalling apps while continuing other tasks
- Minimising/eliminating intermittent lag spikes in gaming
- No delay in being able to answer phone calls
... you get the idea

Thanks goes to the creator lpy @XDA

Install via CWM as update.zip ???

Have you tested this? I'm doing backup right now, and I might, but I'm looking at the script, and it says it's for Galaxy S. There's also a part on one of the first lines where you have to specify your launcher. Also, I don't think the scripts it our init.d even begin with "S_..", but rather with a two digit number, e.g. "06swapon".

EDIT: I edited the file to point to my launcher "com.fede.launcher", and touched nothing else. Named it "18smooth" or something of the sort, and put it in /system/etc/inid.d. The system failed to boot(never got past the second "LG" screen. Maybe it's the rom I'm using, but this is not working so far. I hope your promised tutorial is of use.

yes i have tested it and it works i will be uploading a modded one for the update.zip but if you install it just rename it to 97smoothnees, it asks for the launcher you currently are using e.g. adw launcher but if you have any worries wait until tomorrow for the tut

I think this is helping with battery management because my battery seems to be going down slower

Let's hope I'm wrong. Looking forward to that tutorial.

Downloaded it, and flash'd it in cwm on my girlfriends gt540. In her opinion, it makes a noticeable difference.

Oki, so I install this script and I must say that it's working. ;)

Tut added hopefully you can all understand it

Hmm, I don't know why but I don't have "97loopy_smoothness_tweak" in folder.
