*** NOTE 3: May require "Enable Init.d scripts" to function

This is really good, I'm using some of these features myself so I can attest to it's well-functionality. While I was perusing these threads, I came across a post by reputable developer who said that V6 Super charger causes nothing but problems; If so should I risk it? What are your opinion?

task650 and others pointed out that the ram levels set by v6 are lower than our stock settings. That is v6 was designed for phones with less ram, so the free ram levels are lower than optimum on our tabs. I set them manually with system tuner pro.

Updated to include touch screen tuning tweaks, build.prop & init.d references, and notes

How much RAM does our Tab have guys?

I've heard it does other things than just altering the min free values, so maybe that's why task did an about face regarding v6 by integrating it into v1. 1 of 3.2

UPDATE

Added sypwe license check mod, and removedmwarning for v6 supercharger
