[HOW-TO] Edit your user.conf

[kingklick]

With all these new "hero" builds coming out/updates for them, it is important to have optimal settings. Many people are not sure how to do this so I thought I would take my time to write a quick how to.

I have also attached a user.conf that is setup with comp cache and backing swap, swappiness of 80. I set the cpu scaling from 384 to 528 Mhz. You may edit this with notepad++ if you would like swap instead. Just open the user.conf with notepad++ and make the changes you want (the file is pretty self explanatory) Just be sure to set compcache to 0 along with backing swap

Place the "user.conf" on your sd root, and use the commands mentioned below

P.S. I apologize in advance to the moderators if you feel this is not in the appropriate place or not necessary, just trying to make things a little bit easier

In Terminal type:

$su
#sh /system/bin/rwsystem
#cp -f sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

*If your ROM does not support "rwsystem"* use:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 /system

Once again, I have attached a user.conf along with the JAC kernel that includes the script which allows you to use "rwsystem" (If your ROM supports the kernel)

Here is the link to the JACSki kernel with ttc_smokee's gps fix and Soul Life's script which will allow you to use "rwsystem"

Post here if you would like any kind of walkthrough for "dummies" reguarding user.conf's or user.init's or

You missed the space between -o and remount...

works as-is

some progs accept arguments like that
some don't

mount happens to be one that does

Good to know. Thanks

yah it does work without the space, thanks, but i edited the space in anyway to prevent more posts like that

Are these edits needed/beneficial for those not interested/using hero ROMs?

I recall MikeTaylor had a file, but i know so little on what these can do. Thanks for doing this man.

Not needed, however I'd say most would argue they are beneficial changes for most ROMS... ie) cyanogen uses comp cache on his builds.

and no problem man my pleasure. My way of giving back to this great site

If you do not know how to edit these files post here and ill make you a user.conf to your liking

Rwsystem is not kernel dependent, its a script I wrote that made its way into a few other builds. Just a script which resides in bin or xbin directory, nothing more or less.
