This mod lost it's support since Jelly bean days. So it will work partly.

Hi all,
Too bad the support is stopped. Services.jar can still be tweaked when manually doing the stuff (smali files) that zeppelinrox put in scripts though.
Reason the V6 supercharger script doesn't work anymore is because the syntax of the parameters which zeppelinrox changed have changed a bit on lollipop and above. The script chokes on that.
The way supercharging works (more cached hidden processes, better memory utilization) is described at the following link (also valid for lollipop but you will notice little different naming when you check). Any developer available who has some time to kill ?
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ations-from-ram-despite-plenty-of-memory-free
I once changed the max cached files on CM 12.1 (lollipop 5.1) on Samsung S3 mini, and it actually worked. I saw more processes in memory (used os monitor to check) which proved more cached processes, better memory utilization.

Disagreed, my Evo 3D was 796MB, and no more stock launcher redraws, sqlite vacuum and zipaligner were kinda convenient, among other aspects of V6 Supercharger
Damn
Obviously support has ended, shame! I remember this from my galaxy gio days... I own an lg g3 now, and was hoping to use the bulletproofing feature for my home launcher so as to stop redraws... Anyone know which tweaks are safe to use on marshmallow and if bulletproofing works? Also if anyone knows of an alternative for adjusting oom values or just in general stop launcher redraws on marshmallow, i´m all ears!

Latest one is For Your Lag . So run it in script manager
No it will not conflict with kernel auditor unless you added minfree values in app to apply on boot

Rant: So I "cleaned up the OP" by adding little headings and hiding stuff. So if you want to post that it's still confusing, DON'T bother.
If you don't like it, don't use it. (And calling yourself a n00b is a BS excuse - READ and LEARN something like everybody else did.)
So... if you don't read and search first, and ask redundant questions anyway... be ready for...

Summary of Steps (Yeah, it's THIS friggin easy...)
Before you start reading, just know that this is not difficult to implement... it's easy. There's more specifics below but basically:
1. Download a script
2. Install BusyBox (Attached! - see install instructions above the attachments)
3. Install Script Manager (Enable Browse as Root in Config)
4. Load script into Script Manager (Run As Root - the skull and crossbones icon which turns green when selected)
5. Follow instructions/user prompts & select what you want
6. Patch services.jar as needed (see Post 2)
See? EASY!
Note: If you get errors, or fail the driving test, use the SuperCharger Starter Kit from the download page.
Essentially, the Starter Kit makes sure that your ROM has no silly stability issues.
It includes:
A proven busybox
Fixed su binary (for segmentation fault issues with superuser.apk on ICS only)
zipalign binary and sqlite3 binary (used in Update 9 RC*)
=============================================================================
Know that the script explains what it does before it does anything!
It holds your hand along the way and it will answer nearly all your questions as it moves along!
It works on ALL Android devices - Custom Roms or Stock Roms, Phones or Tablets, it doesn't matter!
Also Note: Nothing else does what The V6 SuperCharger does!
................Not AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Not Auto Memory Manager, Not Minfree Manager...
................And NOTHING BEATS IT. PERIOD.
So... if somebody says to you that V6 SuperCharger does the same thing as [pick any app], tell them to first read about what they're talking about so that they can actually have an informed opinion.

Memorable User Comments:
- "Feels like I have a new phone!"
- "V6 is one the best things to come to android."
- "Supercharger rocks bro, I'm actually mad I waited so long to do it..."
- "I wish I hadn't upgraded yet"
- "Now I can wait to upgrade",
- "I was about to throw this phone through the wall",
- "I was about to return it but now I don't have to",
- "This cured my phone of cancer!"
- "Oh man... just applied the V6 Supercharger Script by ZeppelinRox on my Android.. I think it fixed everything..",
- "My phone is better than new!",
- "my phones has turned god mode on or somthing",
- "I never notice this at all, until I flash a new rom and realize its not there anymore lol."
What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

Hacking services.jar
What's this for? - Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, ICS, Jelly Bean AND Sense 4.0+!
ICS and Jelly Bean - Jelly ISCream Mod (SuperCharge Your Launcher)
Note 1: Earlier Android ROMS need ONLY The V6 SuperCharger Script to SuperCharge the launcher!
Note 2: The webapp is NOT working on some newer roms! The strings to be edited are slightly different and the webapp needs updating!
It also lacks the newest edits and is NOT recommended for the time being!
Froyo and Up - Maximum MultiTasking Mods - Includes -=Maximum Overdrive=- and The Time Killer Killer
Sense 4.0 and Up - Non-Sense App Limit
See the -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- thread for more details about the Multitasking and Sense mods!
Use the Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script to automate Step 5 (the smali edits) in the tutorial below!
Or use my latest -=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- to do ALL the Steps in the tutorial! It works for DEODEX and ODEX ROMS and can be run on Windows/Linux/Mac OSX OSes!
===================================================================
Jelly ISCream Mod Information!
===================================================================
The NEW Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools and Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script include all the -=NEW=- Jelly ISCream edits described in Step 5 - PLUS many more! (over 50 edits!)
These additional edits truly makes your launcher SuperCharged!
They also apply the latest Maximum MultiTasking Mods
The webapp hasn't been updated so it's NOT recommended.
===================================================================
Installation - Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Run the NEWEST V6 SuperCharger script as always.
Note: You may get Segmentation Fault errors running the V6 SuperCharger script on ICS due to a flakey su (superuser) binary.
To resolve the issue, you can:
A) Go HERE for a fixed su binary. No more fugly segfaults! - Thanks to wraithdu (only for superuser.apk on ICS)
OR...
B) Go HERE and get the SuperCharger Starter Kit!
2. Patch and install services.jar - by whichever method you like best. Your options are, in order of EFFECTIVENESS:
Note: Options A, B and C require Java to be installed on your computer - Click to Verify Java Installation
Option A) Use one of the -=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- (exe or zip) which DO EVERYTHING for you "Fully Ultimatically" on DEODEX & ODEX ROMS!
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option B below is the next preferred method - but there's manual work involved.
Option B) Follow the complete tutorial below and use -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script to automate Step 5 - the actual smali editing!Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option C) Follow the complete tutorial below without using any Patcher tool.Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option D) Use the latest Update 9 RC* and select ICS Service Centre's Automatic Transmission! (OUT OF DATE)Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option E) ICS OOM Priority Charger webapp. Same effectiveness as D) but done manually (OUT OF DATE)* All roms (odex & deodex) - to install a patched services.jar/odex, you can use the ICS Service Centre's manual mode in V6U9RC9+ (for Steps 8 and 9 below).
* If you ever have trouble applying permissions to services.jar/odex, just run the ICS Service Centre and permissions gets applied everytime just before returning to the main menu!
3. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
Notes: For decent launcher detection use at least V6U9 RC6.9 or newer and check the bOOM Stick to see if the launcher the desired ADJ value!
.......... - Boot will take a LONG time as it "optimizes all your apps"
.......... - If it doesn't boot (unlikely if you did the edits yourself), try wiping caches (not data)
.......... - If it still doesn't boot, you can always just re-flash your current untouched rom but do have a backup nevertheless.
.......... - If you get FCs, fixing permissions will solve that. (Use the "Fix Emissions" Option in the latest V6 SuperCharger Script!)
That's It!
========================================================
OK I got ICS SuperCharged!!
The problem with SuperCharging ICS is that ICS doesn't read ADJ values from build.prop or local.prop - they are hardcoded into services.jar!
So the script alone can only give you a 50% SuperCharge Level with only the V6 SuperCharger script.
Patching services.jar gives you the other 50% along with a SuperCharged Launcher!
ICS users still have to run the V6 SuperCharger script just like before! Use V6U9 RC6.9 or newer for decent launcher status detection!
Note: Of course, the V6 SuperCharger script is ALL YOU NEED on all previous Android ROMS!
So the mod below is for getting the Launcher at a SuperCharged Priority on ICS!
This is akin to the ADJ entries in build.prop or local.prop on earlier Android ROMS which don't work on ICS.
What gets changed?
I rearranged Priorties on ICS like so:As you can see, there are ALOT more app categories now lolCode:System -16 (stock) Persistent Process -12 (stock) ForeGround app 0 (stock) Home Launcher 1 (Die-Hard Launcher) (stock=6) Perceptible app 2 (stock) Visible app 3 (stock=1) Heavyweight app 4 (stock=3) Previous app 5 (stock=7) Service 6 (stock=5) Backup app 7 (stock=4) Service_b 8 (stock) Hidden app min 9 (stock) Hidden app max 15 (stock)
I also decided to give a new app category a higher priority - Previous Apps.
Users with low ram devices will definitely be pleased with that
I was actually able to load Angry Birds, ran a different app, and went back to Angry Birds and it didn't have to restart.
It's practically unheard of for that game to stay in memory like that on my device
I really don't understand the logic of making Previous apps more killable than some app that you were using awhile ago (ie Service) so I fixed it
========================================================
How To:
This will make it easier [Guide][Tutor]Jar/Apk baksmali smali compiler and decompiler
Important! - Get the MOST RECENT smali/baksmali binaries located here (remove the version number so they are called smali.jar and baksmali.jar)
Click to Verify Java Installation - smali/baksmali requires Java to be installed on your computer.
ODEX ROMS: If you have an odex rom (ie. you have a services.odex file) you have extra work. See this
..................... - Watch for dark red text for odex specific instructions! Some of which were initially found in this services.odex hacking guide.
..................... - Going with the odex guide above, you will also need the dexopt-wrapper utility.
..................... - Download the utility "dexopt-wrapper". (Do a search - you'll find it.)
..................... - Mount system as read/write. Open up Terminal and type: su, enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
..................... - Copy it to /system/bin and apply correct permissions.
..................... - In terminal type: chmod 755 /system/bin/dexopt-wrapper, enter.
OR... You can convert your ODEX ROM into an easily modded deodexed one. Here are a few options to do that:
..................... xdaAutoTool (Windows - the first 3 posts have 3 different tools!)
..................... AutoAPKTool + AutoDeodexTool (Linux port of xdaAutoTool)
..................... Auto Deodex & Zipalign Tool (Windows - looks easy)
..................... Manually Deodex and Odex Back (Windows - geeky)
========================================================
Step 1. So grab the tutorial zip from above and unzip into a folder, say C:\super, along with the smali and baksmali jar files. This is all you need apart from a text editor and a zip program like 7zip or WinRAR.
............ Put services.jar (make sure you have a backup) in C:\super.
............ ODEX ROMS: Put services.jar AND services.odex in C:\super. (Note that services.jar will be very small with only a META-INF folder inside)
Step 2. Open up a dos/command prompt and navigate to the folder by typing cd c:\super
Step 3. Type: java -jar baksmali.jar -x services.jar -o classout (services jar gets decompiled into a classout folder.) Leave the dos/command prompt window open.
............ ODEX ROMS: Copy /system/framework folder(with all the jar+odex files) to c:\super
........................ Type: java -jar baksmali.jar -x -a <api_level> -d framework services.odex -o classout
........................ api_level is a number. See this page. So if you're on froyo, you put -a 8. On gingerbread it's -a 9 or -a 10.
........................ If you get an error: Add the $BOOTCLASSPATH to the above command.
........................ So do this command on your device using terminal emulator OR adb shell (easier): echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
........................ Example: You'll get something like this:
/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar
........................ Remove the paths (/system/framework/) so end up with core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar
........................ Now, your final command becomes:
java -jar baksmali.jar -a ## -x -c :junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar services.odex -o classout
........................ NOTE: This command may FAIL if you don't put the colon (:) after the "-c " and before that list of .jar files.
Step 4. Open explorer and navigate down to c:\super\classout\com\android\server\am folder and find ActivityManagerService.smali
Step 5. Use the -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script to perform the following edits (IT actually does TONS more for a smoother SuperCharge!)
Get it from THIS THREAD, and run it like my other scripts and be sure to have both ProcessList.smali AND ActivityManagerService.smali in the same folder as the patcher script! (Erm.... put them on your phone, run the Power Tools script, then copy the new smali files back to where you found them!)
Note that the Jelly ISCream Mod will read the previous ADJ values from ProcessList.smali, searches for those ADJs and replaces them with SuperCharged ones in BOTH smali files!
Then go to Step 6
If you don't wanna go the easy way... click the button!Save it.
Step 6. Go back to the dos/command prompt and type: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex (this creates classes.dex)
............ ODEX ROMS: Type the same command as above.
Step 7. Open up services.jar with 7zip or WinRAR (you will see a classes.dex file inside) and drag the newly created classes.dex into the window to refresh services.jar with the new classes.dex
............ Mount system as read/write. Open up terminal and type: su, enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
............ ODEX ROMS: Do the above steps (though there won't be an existing classes.dex - just add it anyway) and then do the following, edited segment from the services.odex hacking guide:
Copy the new services.jar file into the root of your phone's sd card.
Now copy /sdcard/services.odex to /system/framework and overwrite the original (backed up, yes?) services.odex
Go to Step 9
Step 8. Copy the new services.jar into your /system/framework folder.
............ ODEX ROMS: SKIP this step!
Step 9. a. In terminal type: cd /system/framework, enter, chown 0.0 services.jar, enter, chmod 644 services.jar, enter
................ ODEX ROMS: In terminal do: cd /system/framework, enter, chown 0.0 services.odex, enter, chmod 644 services.odex, enter
............ b. OR... you can just put it into a copy of your rom and flash that!
Step 10. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
========================================================
It was a pain in the ass to find because the settings that get applied actually ignore any setting that is given.
It's all over-ridden by a calculated routine
So I just turned the tables to have it over-ride settings to be SuperCharged
Remember that you will still need to run V6 SuperCharger to get your minfrees and grouping fix/adj limits in place.
Was this useful info? If so...
Please HIT THANKS and Give a 5 Star Rating!548[Script] V6 SuperCharger! HTK & BulletProof Launchers! The ONLY Android MEMORY FIXER!
So here's how it all started... don't worry if you don't understand it... the script does everything!
So... recently I came across/figured out some pretty neat stuff to make my Milestone run incredibly well.
Fast, Stable, and Smooth. FSS... heh... my Milestone used to make me say FFS too often... lol
In Part 2, you will find a way to make your launcher bulletproof!
What's that mean? No more screen redraws! AT ALL - I'm pretty sure
History Part 1. How To Control Android's Memory Manager via minfree
This revolves around Android's built-in memory manager/task killer.
I had been using Auto Memory Manager (AMM) with great results. AutoKiller Memory Optimizer (AKMO) had worked just as well.
These are NOT taskillers! (And neither is my SuperCharger)
They tweak Android's native memory management system by editing /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
This is a "dynamic" file that gets created on boot.
There is an in-depth thread that you can read right here on XDA: How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller
Android puts each running app into 1 of 6 Out Of Memory (OOM) groups based on their priority.
FOREGROUND_APP, VISIBLE_APP, SECONDARY_SERVER, HIDDEN_APP, CONTENT_PROVIDER, and EMPTY_APP.
Additional Info: You can find each app's priority and OOM.
....................... In AMM, Press Menu > Running Processes > Group by OOM grouping.
....................... Expand each group and see what apps are included and each app's priority level. (Higher numbers get killed first!)
....................... If you tap on an app, you can get additional info. Tip: Check and see what's included with android.process.acore
The default minfree values ("kill thresholds") for each OOM group are, as far as I can tell: 6, 8, 16, 20, 22 and 24 mb. (CyanogenMod 6.1.2)
This means that: when free memory lowers to 24 mb, EMPTY_APPS get killed; at 22 mb free ram, CONTENT_PROVIDER apps get killed; and so on...
Now, because the Milestone has only 256 mb of memory, I found these numbers too low, especially the 3rd one.
Basically, with those settings, you will usually be sitting with only 20 - 25 mb of ram.
Possibly less. Basically, it's the 3rd number (16) + 5. That's your free memory.
And my phone just chokes when it has that little ram available. Lag, home screen redrawing, the launcher getting killed.... ugh....
After extensive fiddling around, I've come to the conclusion that setting the third slot to about 25mb works great.
No home screen redraws while not being too aggressive on secondary/background apps while having about 30-35mb free all the time
BTW, free ram is not wasted. Android will use that memory to cache the file system and this speeds things up. See this informative post.
My other key settings were:
VM Heap Size = 48 mb.
Home Locked in Memory (not anymore due to my OOM Grouping Fix)
JIT enabled - You can try it on or off and decide what you like better (JIT uses some extra memory but makes the CPU more efficient)
Overclocked to 1100mhz@64 vsel.
About VM Heap size. 40 mb should be enough.
Actually, to prevent your launcher from splitting into 2 virtual machines, you should make it at around 40 mb.
I'm no expert about it, but that is the experience of others. (I've never tried it at 32 mb or below)
History Part 2. How To Control Your Launcher Redraws by Making It Bulletproof!
Most of you know about CM's "Lock Home In Memory" setting and how we would still get screen redraws after enabling it.
My suggested AMM settings above should be enough prevent that. You should hardly ever get screen redraws anymore.
But some people were still getting them.
I tried increasing the appropriate priority (for android.process.acore - which includes com.android.launcher) in AMM but the setting wouldn't "stick"
Android would revert it back to where it was - in the Visible App group with a priority of 1.
I had seen how foreground apps had a priority of 0 or -12 or -16 and I came up with a permanent solution - "The Bulletproof Launcher"
Here's how you can have a Bulletproof Launcher!
The line "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" in /data/local.prop also keeps home in memory - it has the same effect as CM's "Lock Home In Memory".
So in light of what I was seeing in AMM, I have changed it to 0 so it now reads:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0
(blank line)
Note: If there isn't a blank line at the end, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ entry gets deleted.
If you do this and reboot, AMM may still show that android.process.acore (or whereever your launcher is) with a priority of 1
If that's the case, disabled CM's setting to lock home in memory.
Now, if you go back to AMM, you should see that android.process.acore is now a foreground app with a priority of 0... BOOYA!
Notes: Obviously, CM's "Lock Home In Memory" overrides the setting in local.prop.
.......... CM will set the priority back to 1 after local.prop gives a priority of 0.
.......... That's why CM's setting has to be disabled - so that the local.prop setting will "stick"
.......... Gaming Tip - You can use CM's lock home in memory as a "Safety Lock" - to toggle your launcher from Bulletproof (0) to Killable (1)
............................. If having problems with a game, put the "Safety Lock" on so the launcher is "killable" so android can free up some extra ram.
Note that BulletProofing is NO LONGER RECOMMENDED! The Hard To Kill Launcher is the PERFECT SOLUTION!
History Part 3. Blah Blah Blah...
Interesting Notes: I had installed the Telus Froyo Update yesterday (03/25/11) and still have it installed.
.......................... Only now did I think to look at the minfree values
.......................... 8, 12, 24, 28, 32, 32 <--- Telus Froyo. I'm a little shocked by the 3rd slot, 24mb?!
.......................... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30 <----- See, I'm not crazy! Telus Froyo values are very similar to my Balanced Settings
.......................... In comparison, my Balanced script keeps your foreground apps alive longer, same free ram & more friendly to background apps!
.......................... For completeness:
.......................... 6, 8, 16, 20, 22, 24 <---- CM6 (Froyo)
.......................... 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 <---- CM7 (Gingerbread)
.......................... 8, 12, 16, 24, 28, 32 <--- Google's Gingbread values, according to this.
