Default 3g turbocharger on the OV

This should work for other phones besides ours where WiFi breaks if you're using the zeppelinrox scripts.

Scenario:
Using zep's v6 supercharger and kick ass kernelizer and they play fine. Add the 3g turbocharger and you can't connect to any WiFi networks.

The quick way to fix:
Copy these scripts to your sd card and set them to run at boot from script manager and use the 3g turbocharger script like you have been.

The options I used when running the v6 Supercharger in the supercharger file I attached was option 5 since it's for 512MB memory phones (like ours) and the Nitro Lag Nullifier.

Here's the steps if you don't want to use my choices:
  • Run the V6 Supercharger and Kick Ass Kernelizer and make your tweak changes as you normally would.
  • Use a file manager and copy your generated 98KickAssKernel.sh and 99SuperCharger.sh from /system/etc/init.d/ to your SD card.
  • Now rerun both scripts and undernelize/uninstall your tweaks.
  • Confirm the 2 scripts above aren't in the init.d folder after you ran the script uninstallers. If they stayed after the uninstall delete them with a file manager.
  • Delete the supercharger lines from /data/local/userinit.sh with a text editor.
  • Run these two at boot and with root credentials from Script Manager or another scripting app (I use another script app but that's just me).
  • Now run the 3G Turbocharger and it'll do it's own thing and not screw up Wifi this time.
With the 3G tweaks I ran the speedtest.net app and benchmarked my 3G speeds a few times and did notice maybe 50% gains on my 3G speeds- so in that regard I think the 3G and kernelizer scripts are more apparent then the v6 supercharger script for me.

My problem with the 3G turbocharger isn't actually the wifi breaking, it's my notification power widgets breaking. I found if I supercharge options 7 and 13 then use KAK, it works fine. But when I use the turbocharger, my notification power widgets get all tweaky. Wifi seems fine for me though. ...any chance this fix happens to fix that issue as well? o.O

Edit: oh yeah I should clarify on how the notification power widgets break. The orientation button doesn't work, the status bar brightness control doesn't stick if you turn the screen off, brightness button doesn't work, etc.
OH and I've tried the experimental #1 and also the known max values option. Both break it =[

Yeah. I don't know about that. I use other power notification buttons than those. One of them being for brightness because I never liked the status bar one.

Do these scripts even help? I tried the supercharger script, but it didn't do anything besides kill all apps that I lowered. It pretty much killed multitasking. It didn't speed up any apps or let them load faster.

How does this 3G script work? What values does it change? I'm very skeptical of these things. My 3g speeds vary second by second. You really need repeated extended test to get an accurate average.

I'll see if I can scrounge up some links on the values that get changed with the 3G script. They're kinda spread all over the interwebs in various forums. Zeppelinrox did do a good job of pulling them together in his script.
As for the v6 script I'm one of those guys he doesn't like. I've tried testing his script following his steps to monitor the effects of OOM grouping modifications and don't see any difference before and after using his script. That being said I still use the v6 script because it became part of my routine on ROM upgrades.

Can someone send me their build.prop file from a phone that hasn't done the 3g tweaks? I want to see if any of these values even exist on our phones out of the box. A lot of the ro.ril values it adds/adjusts are mainly documented for GSM network phones which Virgin Mobile is not- we're on a CDMA network.
