It will be great if we can convert to ext4 through this app.

I was thinking about that.
Problem is, that i need additional libraries >2mb for that.
So it would not be possible to bundle it with semaphore.

Can you add Chainfire's touchscreen sensitivity tweak?

Yes, this should be easy.
It will be part of AddOns_v2 script package.

Hi there,

in first place I wanted to thank you for your great app making quite easy the use of the normally user-unfriendly scripts, it's simple and it work flawlessly!

In the other hand and just like a suggestion maybe you could have a look at the CWM scripts and tweaks package that pikachu01 has released over the development board:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296927

I suppose some scripts won't work or won't benefit Semaphore kernel but some others may benefit our phones, in a particular way the modified system_tweak, optimizations for sqlite and maybe the modified zipalign script that's supposed to work for every apk.

Thanks in advance HM.Carbide.

As I need more time to investigate optimizing LMK and some other tweaks, I made a Touchscreen Package.

AddOn_Touchscreen.zip

In 1st Post is the download and the installation guide.

Have fun.

I'am already looking into this

.

Most of the tweaks are already available through Semaphore Script Manager and Semaphore kernel.
You can even configure them more precise.

The S98system_tweak of pikachu configures for eg fix 1024kb read ahead. This is a bit too much for me.
In Semaphore Script Manager you can choose the read ahead. My recommendation is 256kb/64kb. But you can test it, and choose your preference.

There is a lot of helpful info here about the different settings for Semaphore, BUT I still have many unanswered questions... I've searched but couldn't find much more info.

Surely there is a post/thread that explains ALL the tweaks in simple English and tells u the pros and cons..? Deadline scheduler, for example...? Please point me in the right direction if u can... Thx

I am testing different configurations, how they behave in all day use.
For a good test enviroment i always take semaphore default, and change only one feature for a couple of days.
Until now, i have not tested the difference between noop and deadline scheduler.
I want not only to describe the technical difference, i also want to give a recommendation, what works good on our phone.

But it is a lot to read, and I will try to explain the AddOn features with simple words.

Here's a simple word: kang.

You forgot about my thread.
And to mention my name in your OP - and in your HTK script.. which is really the reassigning of grouping parameters - does nothing for the launcher on it's own.

For the real hard to kill launcher, supercharge... sheesh.. this is so lame

Sorry for the name confict "Hard to kill launcher", and that I did not mention your thread explicitely, as I thought pikachu's thread discribes ALL the optimizer scripts, and has also linked your thread.
So in my opinion, it was the best starting point for people who want to read in detail.

This thread is an app thread.
Semaphore Script Manager is an app to give users very easy support for installing, deinstalling and running scripts for Semaphore Kernel.
Everything transparent, so everyone can understand, and nothing will be left on system, if features are disabled.

Every one can copy/ create his own scripts, and also share scripts to others, if he want.

There are sample scripts provided, to show, how to write and use scripts for the app.
I always wrote inside the script, who made the settings.
(for eg. More sensitive touchscreen (Chainfire) ).

I'll think supercharger is doing more and/or complete different things, than the single echo line in the semaphore script in 1st post.
So it would be not a good idea, if I will write:

Hard to kill launcher (zeppelinrox)

because everyone would think, it is the same done as in supercharger, and it isn't.

I will simple remove the script from first post.

Anyway, you are welcome to provide
supercharger scripts for the semaphore script manager.
Easy enable/disable or choice scripts.
It would be a real benefit for users of galaxy s and semaphore kernel.

OOM Grouping arrangement (zeppelinrox) is more accurate but it wouldn't really be the same either because doing that single echo line will only move secondary server apps from slot 4 to slot 3 and that's all - has no effect on the launcher.
But even so, those values are meant for supercharged ADJ settings and not stock ADJ settings.
This is better OOM Rearrangement for stock ADJs - 0,2,4,7,14,15.
It moves secondary server to slot 3 but HEAVY_WEIGHT_APPs won't fall into slot 2 like they would with 0,3,5,7,14,15.

So you can use that (with my name in there) but calling it anything launcher related is inaccurate.

Thanks,
Best thing would be, if people with knowledge like you, would provide the scripts for the script manager

heh.. I havent tried it since I don't have a Galaxy S or should the app run on any android device?

I made the app especially for semaphore kernel of stratosk, because he provides a lot of scripts in /res/scripts folder to copy/remove them manually to/from init.d.
The app also allows to overrule/extend these script in a SemaphoreScripts folder on sdcard, so that everyone can easily edit the scripts.
At now the app checks, if it is running on semaphore kernel. If i remove the check, it would run on every kernel/ device.

enabling the virtual cache to 50mb does not work for me. /cache does show 50mb but android market gives error to every download.why is that?

edit: solved by removing the busybox file using root explorer.

New version of Semaphore Script Manager v0.62

Changelog v0.62:
- Fixed: Autorotation now uses system preferences
- Completely thread safe
- Collapsible Categories, to get a better overview (state will be remembered on open/close of the app and on reboot)
- better texts
- optimized app size
- added/enhanced scripts, so nearby every feature can be enabled/ disabled without reboot.
(so settings can be compared better. A reboot needs a long time and states are reseted, this makes it very hard to compare the settings.)
- New kernel feature:
* Underclocking
* Conservative Governor tweaked for long battery life
* all features are immediately disabled without reboot
- AddOn Tweaks:
* Immediate disable/enable of 50MB Cache, without reboot
* Touchscreen: Stock, Chainfire, very sensitive settings
- New script functions in Miscellaneous:
* Clean Busybox (deletes busybox in system/bin, system/xbin)
* Voodoo-Color set Stock Color ("disables" voodoo color, by setting stock colors)
* Profiles:
- Kernel default (disables all features and cleans init.d, only semaphore scripts, nothing else)
- Recommended(HM) (enables my preferred settings)
- SaveBattery (sets aggressive battery save setting, phone will lag a bit, good if long battery life is needed)

Install app:
Copy Semaphore apk to sd card and click on the file in any explorer on the phone.

Install Scripts:
unpack zip file:
Move the Folder inside to the sdcard. (On the sdcard should be a SemaphoreScripts folder and the scripts in it)

SemaphoreScripts_base1.82_reworked_v5_sdcard.zip:
The files are now prefixed, before copying them to scdard, delete SemaphoreScripts folder on sdcard, to avoid collitions.

Thanks. I just note this post and the information is very useful to me. I am currently still using 0.51.

+1 .thank u sir for that explanation.
and wat about the advantage of using deadline I/o or noop..noop is for flash based memory devices rite and deadline not optimized for the same..so y many kernels and apps saying and providing deadline I/o as better??

same here. dude can you kindly post some explanations at the 1st post so that we can also learn more about different options of the script manager? i am a newbie and not so familiar with those deadline/ no-op/ simple io, ondemand/ smartass...

really appreciate your help.
