Any chance of some screen shots of this theme? If we had CWM I would just flash and check it out.Thanks.

This isn't a theme. Please read the first post for what this is. Rc1 will be a CWM zip.

I have a question about CWM.
when you build a CWM zip does it have to wipe the phone like the gingerblur rom does? or can it apply kinda like your scripts are doing now and just overlay over the top?

Gingerblur shouldn't be wiping the phone. I haven't looked at the current process, but there's no reason it needs to do that. A CWM update will run the same commands that this script does, just in a much cleaner and easier way.

after I installed the gingerblur 1.1.zip it removed all my apps and everything.

It's possible he's having it wipe the phone as it installs a lot of extra stuff. This room is basically stock with a few basic added features for functionality, as well as being deodexed for a big speed boost. The CWM version of this won't wipe anything on the phone.

edit:
after 1.57 before applying your adb scripts my phone was sluggish to boot and had motoblur lag.
this script really does speed up the atrix alot.
it is very noticeable.

I think I figured it out maybe.
I picked sdcard update.zip instead of using install zip from sd.
maybe that is the reason.

lol either way it worked. It didn't hard brick my phone and I was able to restore the 1.26 spf and recover

 

[Girgizzlemuf]

Just put this on my atrix after growing the balls to do it. Decided what the hell, I have nothing else to do at work

Flawless victory~

The only thing that made me go URK was the 3 reboots it did before it got back into the system. After that though... a noticeable performance difference. I was getting a tiny amount of lag with my widgets on my home screen using launcherpro, but now... nothing.

Thanks for this ~~

Where in the init.rc file should this one line go? Can it go at the very end of the file, or does it logically have to be inserted somewhere special?

Looked at the package, can't I just drop the 77speedfix into the init.d directory manually?

BTW, I don't have CWM yet.

Thanks.

Edit: removed my missinformation

added:
77sdcardspeedfix is a script to be ran in terminal with sh ./77sdcardspeedfix
but when I run it.. it tells me
/system/xbin/echo not found

 

[joe ferreira]

I took the /system/xbin/ off the front of the line so it just says echo without the path

it ran but now I don't know how to test if it is working or not.

 

[joe ferreira]

I ran the sd tools program and I have

writing speed
10.4 mb/s
reading speed
188.8mb/s

I have a class10 32 gig sd card

could someone else that has not done this yet want to run the program before and after to post results?

create a file called 77sdcardspeedfix on your sdcard with this inside


#!/system/bin/sh
if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb ]
then
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
fi;



launch terminal and execute

SU
sh ./77sdcardspeedfix



then reboot

This wouldn't be persistent would it? Wouldn't the reboot then reset the setting?

 

[Ririal]

If this is confirmed to work, I'll add it to the next version of the ROM.

 

[Girgizzlemuf]

I gotta go back and reflash 1.2.6 to get init.d support (lolderp), but the temp changes work. The sdcard benchmark app that is referenced only works on the internal storage, not the sd card. I unmounted internal storage to see if it would see my class 4 but no dice. Changing cache size however does have magical effects . Not a big change in read speeds, but when i changed the cache from 128kb to 1024kb it did triple the write speeds. Now for init.d support.... ~digs through sbf folder

 

[joe ferreira]

thanks guys.
I am new to android but loved WM rom hacking back in the day.
I think faria spoiled me on the wizard

I am looking for more tweaks from other areas of xda to see if they may apply and increase performance.

I really like some of the build.prop changes in this droidx thread also
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232

I do not know about the lcd density mod but everything else seems pretty cool.

I won't be throwing any of those build.prop changes into this, I'll leave that kind of customization up to the end users. My rom is designed to be a base for people to go off that's very close to stock, with a few basic modifications.
