You had a texture bug, look at the screenshots in the OP to see how it should be. Don't know what causes this texture issue, but apparently other people experienced it.
Works with the HTC EVO 4G thanks!

Never hesitate to pass on your thoughts on what could improve PmR guys, this is exactly what community work is about.
Attempted to flash via CWM on Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (Exhibit II 4G) with CM9 and it aborted saying the zip was bad. I know someone else on Jocala's CM9 for Exhibit thread got it to work, so I'm not sure what went wrong for me. I'd post there, but I don't have the minimum 10 post yet and wouldn't want to clutter the thread anyway.
Any info would be helpful and I can provide more system info if necessary. It would be cool to have this running and see the great results afwolfpacked is reporting over there. I may just pm him about it, too.
EDIT: I forgot to say THANK YOU!!! I'm pretty stoked about the possibilities provided here

Wow... Now I can't even get it to download from any of the links provided... Tried with the stock browser, Opera Mini and Chrome and they all sit on an infinite "starting download > failed" loop. Rebooted, tried over WiFi and over mobile, not working at all :/
I'm just going to try on my laptop in the morning, this is getting frustrating and I'm tired

Alright, after speaking with afwolfpacked I was able to get the light version flashed! Running this along with JB Adreno Libs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896980) and my shizz is FLYING! So far I've played through a few games, done some (VERY fast) browsing, shared some articles to G+ and I'm still averaging 77-144mb free as compared to about 29 on average after doing the same things previous to flashing! Great job, devs!

I gotta ask amarullz about the signification of this error (status 0) issue, can't find what's triggering it on some devices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looked into that, but it appears there is no universal method, it has to be ported for each device's particular hardware.
So not much chance it'll be included in PmR, unless somebody finds a way to have it working on any device.
However, the latest Sony Walkman Music Player, Visualizer and Soundfx Clearbass (from Xperia S/T/V) will maybe soon be added to Pimp My Rom if I get the permission from Rizal Lovins, creator of the universal Walkman port to do so.
EDIT : Rizal Lovins just answered me and kindly granted the permission to include his mod in PmR, thanks a lot to him. So you can expect an update soon

157Further Help
Here are some further explanations of some PmR options :
Multitasking Section
¤ OOM groupings :Android, like any other Linux system, has a built-in task killer, called the LowMemoryKiller (a.k.a LMK).
The LMK analyses the RAM usage of all applications in real-time, and when the system has too many apps open, or too much RAM consumption, the LMK will start killing apps to free-up some memory.
To determine which app to kill first, the LowMemoryKiller distinguishes 10 categories of apps, which are called the Out-Of-Memory (OOM) Priorities.
As the name implies, the LMK will create a kind of ordered list based on the determined priority of the apps.
Those categories are as follow :
- Foreground App
- Visible App
- Secondary Server
- Backup App
- Home App
- Hidden app
- Empty App
- Perceptible App
- Heavy-Weight App
- Content Provider App
For each of these categories, Pimp my Rom will modify the memory threshold for LMK to start killing processes and adjust the priority of the categories to match three preset levels of multitasking :
- Low : Your device will be able to handle less opened apps at once, but consume less RAM and less battery
- Mid : An average good level of both Multitasking and not too much RAM drain/Battery drain
- High : Your device will be able to handle a big bunch of opened apps at once without being killed
The OOM settings in PmR also takes care of the ADJ, but I might add a separate 3 levels radiogroup for ADJ too
¤ Minfree Values :
The LowMemoryKiller isn't only about OOM groupings, the Minfree values are very important as well :
The Minfree module of the Low Memory Killer is here to set the minimum amount of free RAM that should always be available.
If the free RAM level goes below the Minfree value, the the LMK starts killing apps (based on the OOM priorities, remember ?)
In other terms, if the LMK is the gun for killing apps, then the Minfree module is the trigger ^^
Again, PmR will allow you to choose between 3 preset levels (for the purpose of clarity for the user, the levels are inverted from the actual values. i.e : High Level in the app wil set a low minfree value, allowing for more multitasking) :
- Low : The minimum amount of free Ram (minfree) will be set high, allowing apps to get killed by the LMK quickly. = Not much multitasking, but good battery/less lags as you always have a good amount of free ram
- Mid : Balanced Level, good multitasking, not much lags and average battery
- High : Big multitasking hog
¤ zRam (Zero Capacitor Ram) :
Taken from Wikipedia :
zRam is an experimental (staging) module of the Linux kernel. It was previously called "compcache". zRam increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive. Since using RAM is faster than using disks, zRam allows Linux to make more use of RAM when swapping/paging is required, especially on older computers with less RAM installed.
To make it simple, zRam allows to virtually increase the amount of RAM your device has by using the Swap spaces in your device memory.
This is mostly profitable for low-end devices that come with few ram (512mb generally).
PmR offers 2 levels :
- 64 mb : virtually adds 64mb of RAM
- 128mb : virtually adds 128mb of RAM
zRam settings requires a kernel that includes this module.
I hope these little explanations will help you understand how to use those settings, and help you find the right combination for your device and use109Guide for rom developers who want to implement pmr in their builds
Older Changelogs
Developer's Guide on Implementing PmR in your Roms
1) Implementing PmR with a custom preset & playstore OTA updates working
- Flash your Rom & apply the tweaks and options you want to be included in your preset
- Create a /data folder at the root of your Rom's zip package, and in this folder create a /app folder (so you now have a /data/app path
- Download this version of the PmR apk and place it in the freshly created /data/app folder in your Rom's zip
(this is the playstore-signed version, which will allow your users to receive OTA updates as if they installed it from the playstore) - Grab the following files from your device and place them at the corresponding locations in your Rom's zip package :
(If some of those files are missing on your device, don't worry, this simply means they are not needed in your preset)
Note : this does not include the Apps & Mods section, except for the Adblock & OpenVPN SupportCode:- /system/etc/init.d/99Pimp_my_Rom - /system/etc/init.d/98Entropy - /system/etc/init.d/S90zipalign - /system/etc/init.d/04dual_bootanim - /system/etc/install-recovery.sh - /system/etc/hosts - /system/bin/entropy-gen - /system/xbin/rngd - /system/xbin/openvpn - Create the following path of folders in your Rom's zip : /data/data/com.androguide.pimp.my.rom/shared_prefs/
- On your device, navigate to /data/data/com.androguide.pimp.my.rom/shared_prefs and copy all the content of this folder to your Rom's zip freshly created /data/data/com.androguide.pimp.my.rom/shared_prefs/ folder
- Open your Rom zip's /system/build.prop in a text editor
- Now open your device's /system/build.prop in a text editor, and copy everything from the first occurence of "### Pimp my Rom : xxx" to the end of the file, then paste it at the end of your Rom's build.prop (Do not forget to save the modifications)
Ok, now we have added all the required assets for Pimp my Rom and your custom preset, let's pass-on to the updater-script modifications in order to install those assets properly and set the right permissions to them.
- In your Rom's zip package, navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script in a text editor
- Copy the following lines near the end of the file, but before "unmount("/system");" :
Code:ui_print("Installing Pimp my Rom with a custom preset..."); package_extract_dir("data", "/data"); set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d"); set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0771, 0660, "/data/data/com.androguide.pimp.my.rom/shared_prefs"); set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/data/app/com.androguide.pimp.my.rom-1.apk"); set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/hosts"); set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"); [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]<<< Do NOT include this line if you didn't activate init.d through PmR in your preset[/B][/COLOR] set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/entropy-gen"); [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]<<< Do NOT include this line if you didn't use the Entropy Generator in your preset[/B][/COLOR] set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/rngd"); [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]<<< Do NOT include this line if you didn't use the Entropy Generator in your preset[/B][/COLOR] set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/openvpn"); [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]<<< Do NOT include this line if you didn't activate OpenVPN support in your preset[/B][/COLOR] ui_print("Done installing Pimp my Rom - by Androguide.fr@xda");
2) Adding a Pimp my Rom entry to your Rom's Settings.apk - Coming Soon37
Thanks for your kind words,
This has been designed mainly for ics & jb roms, but you can still try on gb, just make sure you do NOT select gapps/inverted gapps and themes.
The tweaks, extra apps and extra features should work properly.
In fact, the easiest way for you would be to Select "Stock-based Rom" option in the first screen, so the script won't display gapps and themes options. I will rename "Stock-based rom" option to "Stock and Gingerbread roms" in next update, thanks for the idea.
Please make sure you post your results, so I can add your device to the confirmed devices list if it worked properly.
Regards.
