Thanks again and agreed, no need to apologize. Isht Happens!
Oh and thanks for including the Hash, makes it easier to verify the files.
Here's are the zips for the lazy people :p
Myself included of course :)

Oh yeah, these zips are easily updated just by adding the most recent tweak into the root of the zip. I use winrar and can just drag and drop the file into the zip and it will update it. It will not work if the file name is anything other than init.qcom.post_boot.sh, the only thing is the nice little words that come up during the installation won't match the versions, no biggie and u can even edit that if you like.
Do i need both zip files per version?

The downloads are .txt files.
I'm not understanding how to implement them as a file, and unable to locate the flashable zip warBeard_Tweaks050916.zip)
What browser are u using?

Check one of my most recent posts anytime Warbeard releases an update, usually within 24 hours there will be links to the new files.


No, you only flash one of them. "remZ" removes your ZRAM file if you haven't done it already and the "keepZ" doesn't remove the ZRAM file. It's up to you on which you choose. I'm using the "dangerous remZ" and I have yet to experience any issues. Hope this helps..
Btw, just for more clarity, early on there was a question wether to keep zram or remove zram, I only made it easier for those who wanted to test keeping zram or removing zram and to see if either or is a benefit to the tester personally.

It is still recommended by Warbeard to remove zram.

There was a slight wondering on whether to keep it when using his dangerously tweak, to avoid the memory ceiling I believe.

The question was more of a thought, really. Not anything truly recommended. This was before we figured out the freezing issues.

The bottom line is you will hit a wall eventually, but Linux does a good job of cleaning up your RAM cache and killing processes that are expendable once you start to approach the limit.

I still have found it very difficult to truly force OOM situations with this device to the point where you are locking up OS and halting IO operations, creating lag, etc.

You can absolutely use zRAM if you need to, it is what it is there for, but expect a hit in performance and battery life. Totally up to the user, at the end of the day.

@warBeard_actual on the latest non dangerously build on g4 it seems to use little cores more with 1440mhz than with a lower frequency (while in use of course). Is this normal?

Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes, I noticed the same thing... But I don't really mind, since I use and test this tweak it seems that my battery life has been improved.
Don't know about you? Does it have a negative impact on your battery life of your G4?

Yeah, it has a negative impact. On casual tasks it behaves well but the phone starts heating while browsing and normal stuff. While using camera it almost burns. So it's a no go for me

So I just need to rename the original file in system/ect, then drop the new one in, set permissions, right?
Btw, how is it work for everyone so far?
Correct...then obviously reboot your phone. And definitely do it. My phones been a waaayyyy better since I've used this mod. And you can always switch it back...but your probably won't if it works like mine. Good luck! Oh and remove your ZRAM file, too if you wish. I did bc warbeard recommends it and like I said..I love the change in performance. Refer to OP for the info on the ZRAM file. Good day.

You can always flash my aroma installer
It has the options to back up and restore your current setup (in regards to this mod)
And can flash warberad_actual's latest tweak - it also uninstalls zram
(If you choose to backup before you make changes via aroma installer when you restore zram will come back too)

the lastest is the dangerous verson?
Yes but I have e no issues using the past few days now. I will go ahead and add his previous version shortly, just been a bit busy
And if you read through his explanation it's more of an overall warning and is still unlikely to cause issues for anyone, of course this will depend on how you use your phone - but haven't seen much of complaints
Also note you can quick restore via aroma if you run into trouble
I suggest you try it, may be the best thing I've done to this phone since root

flashed using your aroma but im not sure if it was flashed or not cuz it stop at installing wallpapers (I didnt choose that and it didnt install anything) and showed the next button so I clicked, and rebooted. I guess now Im just gonna sit here, playing bloons td5 till round 12x to see if the lag is still there.

Hey, sorry I forgot about that
There was a scripting issue I have to fix
You need to choose everything on the first choices menu in aroma, but don't worry, each menu has an option to not flash
If you don't at choose something (or at least choose skip) the installer will fail
Just flash it again, pick each option, and you will easily see the difference this mod makes
Happy flashing

The lag in bloons Td5 is still there (maybe it wasnt coded very well and there hundreds of thing running around the screen). So I decided to use Antutu to test (I know that antutu doesnt much about real performance but It the only way to test since I dont have heavy games right now) and turn about pretty good :D

So I put the most recent file from war beard into one of these zips and then flash the zip?

Exactly - then sign it and flash it
Or you can flash through aroma installer with options to backup and restore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3388850
I will try to keep it updated as well - either option will work great

Recovery flashes fine without the need to sign the zips. I don't remember ever signing any zips that I have made over the past years. Either that or I somehow have been using a signed zip as a base for my work, and no matter what I did to it, it maintained it's signed status. Not sure, but they work fine.
