(To any visitors to this thread,
Please Rate this thread based on your reading and tweaks that I provided. If the rate is too low, that means I'm doing a bad job in here! If the rate goes down below 4 stars, I'll stop providing these tweaks! So, please excuse me. Please don't rate this thread with the only reason that I do not provide the tweaks for your rom, which you are using! I'm using my own time for this just like lots of other users. Only the thing that makes me more happy and get focused on this would be your rates and 'thanks' on this thread)

[Quick uptates]
I just found that some of the cpu tweaks are not working on current kernel. So it needs to be changed. The coming new version of Kobridge tweak pack v3.0 will have the adjustment on it. Because kernel does not suppot some cpu function, you may see no difference between the different mode of tweaks. v3.0 is coming soon!

What's this?

The flashable zip files including the build.prop (known as Super build.prop, thanks to Team ERA for naming it) for rooted stock based ROMs and other very useful init.d scripts.

I've started working on these tweaks from several month ago and created several tweak related threads -
Learn How to Run Init.d Scripts from Boot on the Epic 4G Touch
[Guide][init.d]How to run init.d scripts on boot + Best Battery Life
Extend your Battery Life - init.d, build.prop and everything
How to change wifi sleep idle timer - Tweak

Which ROMs supported?
Basically, these tweaks only work on stock based ICS Roms like Calkulin's (tested), sfhub's (tested), Agat's (tested), VeNuM_ICE_Rom (tested), Frankenstein's Ego (Tweaks on TeamERA thread), MIJJz BLEND ICS (not tested), AnaKonda Rom ICS (being tested), HyDrA (being tested), etc.... Do not flash this tweak on any other ROMs.



How to install?

Just go to the Recovery mode by press vol up + power at the same time and flash the zip file. To flash the zip file, you will need repacked kernel kernel like Rogue Recovery or sfhub's kernel plus.
Note: Be sure that you have your nandroid before doing anything. It is not required but recommended just in case. This flashable zip file don't format or erase anything but replace build.prop file, install-recovery.sh, install-recovery-orig.sh and init.d tweak files if there's already same named files.
So, before flashing this zip file, be sure that you make the backup files properly just for in case you want to go back.

What's going to be installed or replaced?

build.prop - Be sure that you have the same version of stocked based ROM. If you rom is different with the rom version in the title, you need to find a different build.prop which is based on your rom version.
install-recovery.sh, install-recovery-orig.sh - Thanks to sfhub. sfhub created this file originally to support the init.d scripts from stock or any other type of roms. If you are using sfhub's auto root tool, the original install-recovery.sh would be saved into install-recovery-orig.sh. So, be sure that make backup these files if those are already there. My flashable zip file will replace the existing install-recovery.sh and install-recovery-orig.sh files.
init.d - will be created if it's not there and will replace the existing same named files. Otherwise, tweak files will be placed into init.d folder.
busybox, sqlite3, zipalign will be placed into /system/xbin folder.

If you don't know what you're doing, please don't use this flashable zip file and ask first. I'm not responsible for any bricked pnones by using this tweak. So, do it with your own risk if you want to try.

Credit:
Big thanks to sfhub for this leaked rom. He is really quiet but taught me lots of things directly and indirectly thru XDA.
Calkulin - initially I got the idea about CPU tweaks through his tweaked ROMs. I've changed some of his tweaks when I applied into my CPU tweaks but the main concept is still following him.
VeNuM - Team VeNuM allowed me to use my tweaks against his Roms for his rom users. Special thanks to team VeNuM and their efforts!
tdunham for his great help and working with me to create flashable zip files. He also tested out Kobridge tweaks on Calkulin's 2v1.5 rom. Now he created the version 2.5 tweaks for Calk's rom (check out the second post)
Team ERA - Adapting various Kobridge tweaks on thier rom and to be a good friend
JohnCorleone - for his knowledge and adapting Kobridge tweaks on VeNum
many ROM devs and users inspiring me to move on
bigpeng, steve97ta for testing out on VeNuM_ICE_Rom_RL5.0.
Tewlman252 for testing out on AnaKonda Rom
jamice4u for testing out on HyDrA

What's in attchment?

Kobridge_xxxx_Tweaks_v2.4A.zip - aggressive tweak (all the tweaks are same, except cpu tweaks). Focused on more aggressive battery savings. So, sometimes you may see the lag time specially when you do the batch jobs. If you feel, it's kind of slow, use M tweak.
Kobridge_xxxx_Tweaks_v2.4M.zip - moderate tweak. should be fine for most cases and battery saving is still huge.

Update: Dropped one of screenshot because personal info was there.
Whoops - FE14 2.4M dropped also. Adding back...
Last screenshot added - more than 3 days. Huge drop at the last moment (phone call - check the signal bar )

 

[kobridge]

Note:
For any previous stocked based ICS ROM users, you can use the most recent one but you will lose your current build related information. If you don't mind, flash the zip file that you want to use.

[Useful Hint]
If the batch job is taking long time when you use 'A' tweak, you can temporarily increase the CPU speed to maximum 1.2GHz by using a tool like System Tuner (Pro). By using this tool, if the job (something like removing bulk applications thru Rom Toolbox or backing up apps thru Titanium Backup) is slow, go to CPU settings and click the '+' button to increase the CPU speed until the job finished. After the job, just reset the CPU speed to 1GHz. In some case, the lag time is unavoidable because CPU is slowly trying to increase the CPU speed based on the CPU overload. If we make the CPU frequencies to be changed very fast, then it uses more battery. There's always pros and cons. If you use System Tuner (Pro), do not use the tweaks provided by System tuner pro with my tweaks in here.

[ROM specific instructions]

New! [5/21/12] Calkulin's 2 v1.5 Kobridge Tweak All-In-One pack by TDunham
The same Kobridge Tweak pack v2.5 used in VeNuM is now available for Calkulin's 2 v1.5 Rom users!
The installation instruction is same as for VeNuM ICE RL5.5 in below.
All thanks should go to TDunham. Download link is available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658471&page=12 and post #112.

For FE10 Stock based Rom Users - added same flashable zip files based on FE10 build.prop
For FD26 Stock based Rom Users - added two flashable zip files based on FD26 build.prop

New! [5/21/12] VeNum_ICE_Rom_RL5.5
Customized VeNum_ICE_Rom RL5.5 Kobridge All-in-One pack is available now!
Kobridge tweak changes for VeNuM RL5.5:
* Added every Kobridge tweak files into one zip file.
* No need to download the Kobridge tweak files again at least tweak version stays same.
* Including VeNuM stock tweaks - you can go back to original VeNuM tweaks without manual backup
* Easy tweak mode changes through the other set of flashable zip files
* you don't even need to repacked kernel to run the init.d. This tweak is already including the init.d support
* and more...

How to install:
1. Choose one of the flashable zip files from attachment -
Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5AF.zip - Aggressive First install
Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5MF.zip - Moderate First install
Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5PF.zip - Performance First install

2. Flash the 2.5xF from recovery.
3. Reboot

How to change the tweak mode:
1. do not download zip file again. Just go to kernel recovery mode (not stock kernel)
2. choose zip file from /sdcard/VeNuM_Tweaks
3. Flash and reboot

How to go back to VeNuM default tweaks -
1. same as changing tweak mode but choose Kobridge_VeNuM_RL5.5_Tweaks_v2.5S.zip file.
2. flash and reboot.

My recommendation to select the tweak mode is, first try 2.5P tweak and if it's accpetable, then try 2.5M and 2.5P... If the lag time is not acceptable for you, just stay with VeNuM default tweaks.
Performance (from fast to slow) -
VeNum default > 2.5P > 2.5M > 2.5A
Battery savings
VeNuM dafault < 2.5P < 2.5M < 2.5A


VeNuM_ICE_Rom_RL5.0 - Download Kobridge Tweaks for VeNuM and flash it. VeNuM's default files will be backed up /sdcard/Venum_Tweaks folder including build.prop and install-recovery.sh. I decided to only place my tweaks into init.d folder because lots of overlaps. If anyone want to run default VeNuM tweaks, copy/move those tweak files from /sdcard/Venum_Tweaks to /system/etc/init.d. Be sure that I also moved VeNuM's build.prop and install-recovery.sh files to /sdcard/Venum_Tweaks backup folder. So, to go back, just place the all files from backup to the right places and reboot.

AnaKonda_Rom_v1 - Download Kobridge Tweaks for AnaKonda rom and flash it. AnaKonda's default files will be backed up /sdcard/AnaKonda_Tweaks folder including build.prop. If anyone want to run default AnaKonda tweaks, copy/move those tweak files from /sdcard/AnaKonda_Tweaks to /system/etc/init.d. Be sure that I also moved AnaKonda's build.prop to /sdcard/AnaKonda_Tweaks backup folder. So, to go back, just place the all files from backup to the right places and reboot.

[Updates] oldest (top) -> newest (bottom)
* Blu Kuban Rom - Sorry Blu Kuban users. I spent couple of hours to check this Rom. It appears that Blu Kuban requires its own build.prop and there are lots of settings here and there. No one wouldn't able to support this rom except the Dev.
* Just checked out VeNuM_ICE_Rom_RL5.0 - It seems like there's no problem flashing kobridge tweaks into this rom. No conflicts on build.prop. After flashing, goto /system/etc/init.d folder and change the file permission of 1VeNuM1 & 9darky_zipalign to 644. For 2VenuM2 file, keep the permission 755. If this file's permission is not 755, do not change and just keep the same permission.
I saw many useful tweaks on 2VenuM2. So, I do not want to prevent this tweak running on boot. After changing the permission, reboot the phone one more time to run the tweaks selectively again.
* Update for VeNuM_ICE_Rom_RL5.0 - it's working but need some modification. I'm working to release the flashable zip file for this rom. Thanks to bigpeng for testing this tweak out on his phone. 5/19/12 Added flashable zip file.
* AnaKonda_Rom_v1 - Not been tested yet. Need someone to test. Please report if you are using AnaKonda rom and willing to test it. If you want to apply this tweak, do it with your own risk.
* Update for VeNuM_ICE_Rom_RL5.0 - 2.4.1P version released for test purpose. If you experience the lags on VeNuM, try this one.
* Tweaks for VeNuM ICE RL5.5 released (5/21/12)
* Tweaks for Calk's 2 v1.5 (FD26) AIO tweak pack release by TDunham (5/21/12)

Just saw Calk's thread. Going to jump into!

Edit: just added FE10/FD26 Tweaks at second post.

Question: if im on calk's 1.5 with fe10 kernel/modem, i need to install the zip for calk's ROM right?

 

[bigpeng]

Good stuff, thanks!

FE16 is out, thanks for this, it is appreciated it

That's right. It's based on Rom version and not Kernel.

 

[peterocc]

Just to 100% sure, if Im running Agat's tFE10_v0.1.0 Rooted, which of the 2 .zip files below should I run?

Also what is the difference between these 2 as they seem to be based on the same ROM version?

1) Kobridge_FE10_Tweaks_v2.4A.zip
2) Kobridge_FE10_Tweaks_v2.4M.zip

2) Kobridge_FE10_Tweaks_v2.4M.zip

A - Aggressive power savings mode - slower than 2.4M but batter saving is huge
M - Moderate power savings mode - faster than 2.4A while still extending the battery life

 

[tdunham]

I'm running Calks FD26 1.5 ROM, the aggressive tweak and had the 3 or so second lag before screen wake on an incoming phone call.
I only bring it up to get further input from other users running the aggressive tweak as I've only seen it reported once before. I'm going to stick with it to see how that issue goes since it only happened once so far with the new set of tweaks (and everything is going VERY well).
Please report any other issues as they occur for Kobridge please so he can address any ongoing problems. Cheers! TD

tdunham, thanks!
Since the script has been changed a little to fix that issue, please use the latest one in this thread. It would make your phone more responsive than previous tweak.

hey kobridge,
here's a suggestion but I could be way off..
why not take the build.prop out of the flashable zip since it is version specific and instead just have it as a txt document with only the tweaks. and have the user paste it at the bottom of their current build.prop.
that way you wouldn't need to create flashable zips for each new leak..
maybe I'm just thinking about this all sideways..
I always just chop out tweaks from the build.prop of roms and have a big list that I paste at the bottom of the build.prop on any rom I use..

anyway, once again big thanks for your contributions kobridge.

I've already considered that option but incorrect editing of build.prop could be a reason of boot loop.
What I'm thinking about is, we may need to separate the build.prop and any other tweaks. So, user can flash the other tweak files separately. For the build.prop, because it's rom dependant, I may need to create a new one each time while keeping the other tweaks same.

Definitely I'll think about this. Thanks for your suggestion, gershee!

 

[countryteazer]

Thanks Kobridge -- your battery tweaks are phenomenal! Looking forward to FE16!!

 

[kobridge]

Posted last screenshot from FE14 at OP - couldn't spend more time on FE14 because have to move on to FE16.

Too busy... FE10 -> FE14 -> FE16 in just couple of days. Maybe some of my tweaks are useless because none uses the previous ROM. Hope FE16 stay a little longer.

wish I could use all your init.d tweaks but I'm aosp for life..
I've included my build.prop tweaks.. basically I compiled a list of tweaks I was able to find about a month ago.. I think I may have incorporated your initial release not sure, but probably many redundancies. just thought I'd share.. I usually just jam this whole file at the end of the my new fresh build.prop..
can't give proper credit cause I went thread to thread reading about tweaks and then rom to rom checking out the build.prop..
so I guess thank you xda..
https://www.box.com/shared/969572e708315f41598b

EDIT:
oops.. I guess the purpose of this was to see.. well I dunna.. maybe see if there are more tweaks?
I know I haven't had any boot loops cause I keep my original build.prop from my rom and simple add/override certain settings..
just trying to help/contribute.

EDIT2:
they aren't all battery related tweaks.. just giving an idea..

Couple of things for AOKP users.
1. build.prop needs to be updated since because AOKP check the build information during the boot. Based on build info, if it's not AOKP, phone wouldn't boot.
2. 31CPU tweak need to be modified or should not be used because it's causing a boot loop.

I've posted all this information in my original thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625299

1. yea i use my original build.prop and add tweaks to it.
2. yea I did independent testing on aokp and posted results 2 weeks ago in your thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25677347

pretty sure 41tweaks broke boot for me too but I guess I'll have to try once again!
thanks..

One time, I tested it on AOKP build35. Because there's no way to check my tweaks on AOKP, I flashed AOKP to my phone and tested it out.
Build.prop and 31 tweak had the problem.

But again, currently I'm stick with stock based rom and I do not formally support AOKP or any other non-stock based ROMs.
