[MOD][UPDATED 09/05] Smooth Scrolling Mod for COS12/12.1 Roms

[thunderteaser]

DISCLAIMER​

• I'm opening this thread because the author of the original Scrolling Cache Mod thread seems to be inactive.
• Though I always provide a flashable zip to revert the changes, always do a NANDROID backup FIRST! Consider every zip file I provide as untested. By using this mod, you're doing it at your own risk!
• This mod is intended for COS12/12.1 *only*. Please, don't ask me to provide this mod for non-COS12/12.1 roms.
• Also, please don't ask for ETAs.

• WHAT IS THIS?

If you feel like your device is lagging when scrolling an app or else, it is because Android uses a cache to store info related to the "Smooth Scrolling" function. This mod aims to remove those lags by disabling the Smooth Scrolling Cache system-wise(read more about it HERE). Don't expect miracles, but you will slightly notice the difference.

• HOW CAN I INSTALL/REMOVE IT?

Download the 2 files related to your firmware to your internal sdcard. Reboot to recovery and flash the corresponding zip file. Example:

• COS12.1_XXX_SSM to install the mod
• COS12.1_XXX_SSM_Revert to revert the changes (e.g. if something goes wrong or to clean up the system for an OTA update).

Where XXX is your firmware name (or the latest 3 digits, for older releases). Then wipe cache/dalvik-cache and reboot.

!!!ALWAYS INSTALL THE MOD CORRESPONDING TO YOUR FIRWMARE!!!

• WHERE CAN I FIND THIS MOD FOR OLDER FIRMWARES?

Look for it through the original Scrolling Cache Mod thread.

• THANKS

zephiK for providing the mod thus far.
fix-this! for providing a comprehensive guide on how to make this mod on your own. You can do that too. Yes, YOU!

UPDATE 09/05​

• Uploaded mod for YOG4PAS1N0 (COS12.1).

I've decided to change zip name to include full firmware name to make it more clear (older release still has the latest 3 digits). I'm also willing to inform you that, as I'm typing, this mod is totally untested. I'm still providing this mod for those of you who might want to try it, but I felt COS12.1 to be sort of "snappier", so I'm still not using this mod. Let me know if you notice improvements in scrolling or if you still sense lags (especially in your browser).

Cheers! :highfive:

Has anyone wondered if this drains more battery or something similar?

You shouldn't notice any difference at all, it's just a disabled function.

Here! With the linked guide, I put together the scrollercache mod for the official Oneplus CM12.1s ROM (YOG4PAS1N0) using the zips provided in the first post as the installer of choice. Works for me, but I *may* always have messed something up. Follow the rules in the first post!

@Jadelor Thanks mate! I haven't read your post in time, so I've just updated mine.

Feel free to use Jadelor's or mine in the first post.

@thunderteaser I got a problem! I succesfully flashed COS12.1_YOG4PAS1N0_SSM and suddenly WhatsApp doesn't work anymore along with other apps, so I flashed the revert zip to fix that, nothing goes wrong during the operation but the result doesn't change! Any ideas? I'm on CM12.1 YOG4PAS1N0 modded by @Sultanxda

I assume what you mean by the Sultanxda mod is his unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM? It is a completely different ROM from the perspective of this mod, and its files likely differ, so you probably messed your ROM up and the revert zip can't help you, since it only works for the official ROM too. Sorry.

Wow, I was really sceptic about this mod and I thought that the 1+1 didn't need it. But now that I have installed it, I regret that I haven't installed it before!
