GUIDE: FIX S7 LAG FROM ROOT! Works on ALL S7 Variants (& Almost ALL Android Phones)
Hey All,
I've found a GREAT PROGRAM that'll fix ALL your lag issues after rooting the S7, called Gov-Tuner.
I've tested by ODIN-ing back to stock (PE1 firmware) and my results were INCREDIBLE, though you do not have to (YMMV)!!
I'm also including Install instructions for Viper4Android Sony Beats 4.8 Universal Edition, SELinux Mode Changer, and what apps to freeze with BootManager - An XPOSED Module - below as these will also help speed up the phone AND provide even more compatibility to install most apps! (for example, SELinux MUST be set to permissive for V4A if you want to install any version OTHER THAN V4A Sony Beats 4.8 Universal Edition).
UPDATE: I just tested a "Ram Expander" type program and I had VERY different results each time I tried. However, my overall result was that it DID help - though there are costs. Read More Below!
I TAKE NO CREDIT for GovTuner, SELINUXChanger, V4A (And all variants) are NOT my programs! Please support the developer(s) of these incredible mods if it works for you! They have spent a LOT of time and effort to make something amazing & should be supported if you use them!
Now on to the instructions...
DISCLAIMER:
You take FULL responsibility for installing this mod. IF it brick's your phone, causes nuclear disaster, or blows up the planet, do not blame me... Well, if you do blow up the planet and I'm not one of the survivors, then you can blame me - otherwise, it's YOUR fault!!
(Now that I've covered myself, on to the instructions)
Install on a new, clean, and/or reset phone -
1)Reset phone completely to stock (no root) to PE1 or PF2 firmware (PE1 worked best for me for some reason)
2) Root Phone (g930v) - Follow guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
3) Flash v15 FIX universal from OP located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
I had trouble with the v15 Universal Fix on PF2 firmware, but Others have reported it works. So it's up to you...
4) Flash XPosed firmware IF you want to run XPOSED (You can use Wanam's framework v86.0 or Topjo's v86.2 - It's been mentioned that topojo's framework is smoother, but I've NEVER used it. Please report back and let use know. (let phone reboot) -
Install XPOSED APK at any time
5) Flash Gov-Tuner (v2.6 Latest Version as of writing this) (reboot phone)
Download From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16012#downloads
GovTuner's Project Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828
6) Install Universal INIT.D and set the toggle to "ON" (From playstore) - Or flash a mod to give INIT.D support without needing an app
7) Install L-SPEED (Playstore) and either use my settings to make your phone INSANELY BLAZING FAST (available below) OR the settings suggested from this site after the LSPEED button -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...uide-fine-tuning-performance-battery-t3417804
8) Install Terminal app (From Playstore)
9) Install an app to change your governor (ir. Kernel Auditor, Rom Toolbox, etc... from Play store)
10) Use app to select the Governor you want to use - (ie. interactive, ondemand, etc) - I prefer INTERACTIVE & suggest you select it - (if it's not already selected & running)
11) Open your preferred terminal app (from phone) to run GOVTUNER
(instructions with commands below - also available on Gov-Tuners Project Thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828
11a) in terminal, type "su" (without quotes and hit enter)
11b) in terminal, type "govtuner" (without quotes and hit enter) - Program will make sure you meet all requirements
11c) You should see a menu with 3 profiles available - Battery, Balanced, and Performance. (1, 2, & 3 respectively)
11d) Select the number the corresponds to the profile you want and then hit enter. After it configures you should see up at the top left the profile you selected running in some kind of color - (For instance, Performance is written in blue)
Gov-Tuner Project Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828
12) PROFIT!!! Change & Test different governors AND profiles to get your phone to whatever you prefer.
Whenever you want to change profile, use the govtuner command.
Whenever you change your governor (through romtoolbox, kernel auditor) and you still want to use the same profile you last selected, then you only need to run the "tune" command.

Install Gov-Tuner without Resetting Phone
(MUST HAVE ROOT)
1) Download GovTuner from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16012#downloads
2) Install Universal INIT.D (Playstore) - Open app and set toggle to "ON"
3) Install Terminal (Playstore)
4) Install L-SPEED (Playstore) - Use my L-SPEED BLAZING FAST settings offered below (at reduced run time) OR the suggested settings from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...uide-fine-tuning-performance-battery-t3417804 where you'll get a slight performance increase with more run time. (Reboot phone)
4) install an app that'll change your governor (ie. Kernel Auditor, Rom Toolbox, etc.) (Playstore) - Only if you want to change governor
5) Flash Govtuner (v2.6 is latest version at time of writing) with Flashfire's - use OTA flashing option
6) Change governor ONLY IF YOU WANT - (interactive, ondemand, etc) -
I suggest selecting "INTERACTIVE" governor if it's not already running.
7) Open terminal app from phone and run GOVTUNER with the following commands (link to GovTuner Thread above)
7a) in terminal, type "su" (without quotes and hit enter)
7b) in terminal, type "govtuner" (without quotes and hit enter)
7c) You should see a menu with 3 profiles available - Battery, Balanced, and Performance. (1, 2, & 3 respectively)
7d) Select the number the coorosponds to the profile you want (1-Battery, 2-Balanced, 3-Performance) and then hit enter. After it configures you should see up at the top of terminal windows the profile you selected - in some kind of color - (For instance, Performance is written in blue)
8) PROFIT! You may want to test each profile with the different governor(s) until you get EXACTLY what you want. (Long battery life, More performance, etc)
*** Scroll Down for a list of apps to freeze ***
My L-SPEED Settings for an
INSANE PERFORMANCE BOOST!
My Governor is set to "INTERACTIVE" (used Kernel auditor) & the GOVTUNER profile is set to "PERFORMANCE"! (used govtuner within terminal app).These settings will give you an INSANE performance boost, and my runtime is usually 18 hours.
L-SPEED Settings:

You can "KILL MEDIA SERVER" manually from within lspeed - It will automatically run on startup.
Kernel Modifications:
Kernel Tweak - Disabled
Kernel Sleepers Optimization - Enabled
Under System Tweaks
Battery Improvement - Enabled
Faster Boot - Enabled
WiFi Sleeper - disabled (you preference)
Flag Tuner - Enabled (I recall a much better flag tuner mod that could be flashed. If its still available, you should use/flash it & disable this setting. The developer of LSPEED was the one who said this & suggested it to us when LSPEED was a flashed mod.
Assertive Display - Enabled
UI Optimizations:

Seeder (Main Menu)
Seeder Options
Seeder - Aggressive (This will drain battery a little faster but has given me AMAZING performance increases!) I'd suggest you try aggressive and work your way through each option to see where it takes you and how much battery / speed you gain / lose!
Cleaner (From Main Menu)
Cache Cleaner
(You can run whatever you'd like - I'd suggest running "Clean Junk Files and wipe cache partition & dalvik cache)
Cleaner Options:
Run Cleaner On Boot - Enable (You do NOT have to set it to enabled, but I prefer to clean things up at boot)
FSTRIM (From Main Menu)
FSTrin On Boot - Enabled (Again, it's not necessary to run this, but I do to keep things clean at all times and trimmed, too!) heh
Create a backup of these settings from within LSPEED just in case - you never know when you'll need to restore the settings.
Make SURE you create a backup of the setting you've just set, AND be certain that LSPEED can launch upon startup / bootup! (VERY IMPORTANT!)
SELinux Mode Changer v3.2
(Change From Enforcing To permissive)
1) Download SELinuxModeChanger from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
2) Install App
3) Run App and select permissive
4) Enjoy
As a side note, Viper4Android requires SELinux to be set to permissive (EXCEPT Viper4Android Sony Beats v4.8 Universal Edition located here with install instructions)! Can anyone confirm that V4A's latest version worked on the S7 with SELinux set to permissive? I will be testing later on, but please let us all know if possible! Thanks!
ROEHSOFT RAM Expander
(Additional SWAP File) To Speed Up S7
Here are the install instructions -
1) Download ROEHSOFT Ram Expander from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&hl=en (There is a FREE & PAID version - get paid version IF it works for you!)
2) You will now need to create, on your MICROSD card (External Storage) a 4GB partition - Please be warned, when you create a partition you can lose ALL your data. I would suggest MiniTool Partition. I'd make the first partition your storage partition (where you store pictures taken, music, etc), and the second partition as the the SWAP partition. Again, ONLY MAKE THE SWAP PARTITION 4GB! You can format the swap partition as a SWAP file system OR in ext4. Either way, it's your call. I found the SWAP file system to be a little better, but you'll need to try them out and see what works best for you.
3) Put microSD back in phone and launch ROEHSOFT's Ram Expander. Give SU permission. Click the menu at the top right and select swap location.
4) Run the app - At the bottom select the "Optimal Values".
5) It will ask you want profile you want (similar to GOVTUNER, but they have NOTHING to do with each other!). You can select Balanced, Gamers, Multitaking, etc...
6) It will ask you to select the directory to use as the swap location - MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE CORRECT LOCATION BECAUSE it will DELETE ALL INFO ON THAT PARTITION SELECTED! BE EXTRA SURE as I'm not responsible if you select the wrong partition and lose EVERYTHING!
7) Let it do it's thing and enjoy! You'll only need to change the swappiness and possibly the cache.
7b) DO NOT SELECT PERFECT KERNEL unless you KNOW it will work!
7c) DO NOT SET TO AUTORUN until you know it works and does not cause boot loops, probs, etc..
8) ENJOY!
This really did speed up my phone (G930V - S7), and I was amazed because I didn't believe it would, HOWEVER, there is a cost. This CAN heat up your phone since it's writing to the microSD card. If you're playing games and using it a lot, your phone will heat up and the battery will be drained at an insane rate! But, the speed increase was impressive. Like everything else, it's a trade off...
Please post and let me / us know how this works for you!
Suggested Apps To Freeze with
BOOT MANAGER (Xposed App) and/or TitaniumBackup
Here are the apps that CAN be FROZEN with your favorite app (Titanium Backup, App Disabler, etc)
1)Game Launcher (ONLY If you want)
2)EMERGENCY Launcher (ONLY THE EMERGENCY LAUNCHER - do NOT confuse with ANY of the other launchers. Double check to make sure you are freezing the correct one, otherwise you will be in a WORLD of trouble!! - Located in system/app/emergencylauncher/emergencylauncher.apk)
3)SamsungDLPService (system/spp/SamsungDLPService/SamsungDLPService.APK)
4)Security Policy updates (system/priv-app/SPDClient/SPDClient.apk) - Freezing this SHOULD help those who haven't had success running XPOSED due to constant reboots.
5)SecurityLogAgent (system/app/SecurityLogAgent/SecutiryLogAgent.apk)
6)System Updates (system/app/SDM/SDM.APK)
7)Verizon Store Demo Mode (system/priv-app/com.customermobile.preload.vzw/com.customermobile.preload.vzw.apk)
----------------------------------------
Apps To Disable Through BOOTMANAGER
(FREE XPOSED App through the download section of XPOSED APP)
You can disable ALMOST EVERY APP that is running, however... DO NOT disable ANY SYSTEM apps unless you know what you're doing.
The ONLY APPS I can suggest you DO NOT "STOP" are the following:
1) Universal INIT.D
2) L-SPEED
3) Kernel Modification Programs (if Any) - Kernel Auditor, Rom ToolBox, etc...
4) IF by some chance you have an issue after disabling an app, just launch BOOTMANAGER and re-enable the app!
5) You can also "FASTBOOT" through bootmanager where it will disable EVERY SINGLE USER APP you have. Use this if your having a problem with bootup, an app, etc... It's great for diagnostic purposes OR to really speed up your phone if/when needed!
ViperATMOS Sony Beats v4.8 Universal Edition OR
ViperAtmos Sony Beats 5.5 Edition Installation Instructions for phones with
SELinux PERMISSIVE or ENFORCING!
BOTH versions DOES work with the Galaxy S7 Verizon Variant (G930V)!
This version of V4A (Viper4ATMOS Sony Beats v4.8 Universal Edition) runs with SELINUX set to enforcing or permissive unlike other versions! (Thanks to @srish2 for the info)!
1) Download the flashable zip (Direct Download Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3701983&d=1459364213)
2) Open flashfire and select OTA flash option
3) Select the downloaded zip file to flash from within flashfire
4) FLASH (let phone reboot)
5) Look in your app drawer and you SHOULD see a DOLBY APP & the Viper4Atmos or Viper4Android app.
Set your audio to whatever you prefer from within those apps. (You may want to go to the project's thread to see what is suggested) Here is the Link To Viper4Android, DOLBY, Viper4ATMOS, & Viper4DD's Project Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/viperaudio-viperatmos-3-8-sq-driver-t3289075
5a)PLEASE NOTE - RUNNING THIS AUDIO TWEAK can (and most likely will) INCREASE your audio quality, BUT it will drain your battery slightly!
6) ENJOY Viper4Android, Viper4ATMOS, Viper4DD+, etc
You should be able to install other V4A variations versions as long as you have SELinux changed to whatever is required per the app's directions in the OP. V4A's Download Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
A Few More things...
You SHOULD get an app like bootmanager (xposed module) so you can select certain app's from loading at startup.
Hope this helps,
Swick

This resolves lag -- what about the obscene battery drain?

it fixed the INSANE battery drain AND insane LAG. Bottom line, it fixes both, FOR ME! (And the other 16 phones I have installed it on for my employees!) - Full disclosure, I did install it on a 17th phone, but that phone turned out to have a physical defect, so I dont really count that one, heh!
With govtuner, I can go for at least 18 hours in performance mode profile and over a DAY in battery mode profile. (You'd select the profile that you want through GovTuner in a Terminal app on phone).
But it saved my arse, big time. BEFORE govtuner, I would only get 6-8 hours battery time if LUCKY.
Now, I get a HECK of a lot more!

I've got an S7E and S7 -- I rooted and 'tuned' the E but couldn't live with the battery drain, overheating and lag (in order of severity) so I've opted to leave my S7 unmodified but welcome a viable root solution.
Going to give your steps a try on the Edge.

Also...
L-SPEED will help in MANY WAYS to either increase or decrease your battery usage, depending on the settings you use. That will CERTAINLY help a lot to decrease battery drain, too!

Thanks, that means a lot to me. I appreciate it! Let me know how it works.
FYI, I have mine set to performance mode and changed some of the settings in LSPEED to be even more performance enhancing than was suggested in the post / guide (link provided in that step to the settings suggested. Just scroll down to the LSPEED title). So my phone CAN run VERY hot. however, I've changed my phone to battery profile (within govtuner) and changed LSPEED settings to more battery conservation - taking a slight hit to performance - it ran cool and smooth and I did NOT notice ANY lag. Plus, my phones have close to 600 apps.
Oh, also... I would seriously suggest getting a program that'll allow you to stop certain apps from loading at start up. Forgot to add that to the directions. That's certainly helped as well!

Early read: performance seems on par with stock -- battery life isn't as solid as unmodified, but does appear to be much improved

Thanks for the early read - Glad the mod worked. Those developers for govtuner are amazing!
Appreciate it!
Don't forget, try other governors and then pick a profile that u wanna use. I've found interactive in battery profile to give good batt life & that same governor in performance profile to be very fast - alongside L-SPEED, of course!

Have stayed farr away from root, for lag and battery issues. Will give this a try though, thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for the guide sir. Heat is gone using interactive and balanced and lag is noticeably reduced. Great find. Out of curiosity, do govtuner tweaks set on reboot, or do I have to rerun and reset profile after I reboot the phone? Also would love to see what settings you use for most balanced performance under kernel auditor and govtuner.
Update: upon further review, this really really does work. For those of you who have held off rooting because of engboot lag/heat issues, rest assured this does a good enough job that it mitigates any problems I was having. I had followed all steps before trying this (flashing fixes v15, l speed, greenify, doze, amplify) but this is what did the trick. Thank you OP again

Govtuner did help out I used to use it when I was rooted but I still had stability issues battery did improve but still drained to fast for me. I'm back on stock

I'm sorry to hear that! Plus, that's extremely odd - did you test other governor's on all the govtuners profiles? Did you flash the v15 fix on the PF2 firmware (if you did that, it WILL cause stability issues - I can attest to that, sadly)!
I've setup on 16 S7's and they all work like a charm - no joke! I've NEVER had a phone this fast in my life, frankly!
Further, I do suggest starting from a clean install as that usually works best. PLUS, PE1 firmware seems, so far, to be the best and most stable firmware when flashing v15 fix.
I have setup on the PF2 firmware on 2 S7's, but they were not my phones, and though th owners have told me on several occasions that their phones are much faster, etc... I cannot swear to that because I do not know and have not seen them for some time. But, it did work and has helped significantly!
Anyway, I'd be happy to help you if you want... I hate to hear it didn't work for you!
Really sorry about that!

This solution is quite solid -- I do notice quite a bit of lag when the phone wakes up from sleep but it subsides quickly. Well played swick.

That's odd... You should try changing setting from within LSPEED app to change that behavior. It may not be possible depending on the profile you're using and the governor your using with govtuner, but... I know my phone has NO LAG, literally. (I'm swearing on my grandfather's gave & my 2 uncles' gaves, too) Seriously!
You may want to TRY my settings from OP - I know they will use more battery, BUT. See if that solves and and work back from there. Maybe you can find what is causing the lag when waking up, and fix it? just a suggestion...
In any case, I am glad it worked (mostly) for you. At least I know that ALL my phones are rooted and have ZERO LAG. That's all I care about. Plus, if you get a MOPHIE case for your S7 you can have WELL OVER 24 hours of battery life/run time!
BTW, the S6 mophie cases work JUST as well as the s7 mophie case - the only down side to the S6 mophie case - they do NOT have wireless charging, the S7 mophie case does! HOWEVER, the S6 case is far superior because it fully locks the phone into place. Whereas the S7 mophie case has a frame that you snap in place around the phone - the S7 mophie case provides FAR LESS "protection" because a small drop will cause the frame to pop off instantly! - Just thought I'd let you know in case you were wondering... heh
Swick
PS. LMK if you'd like me to help - tbh, I'm not sure what I can do to help, but am more than happy to try! But working back from my faster settings from within LSPEED should do the trick! LMK what happens!

Awesome! What screen on time are you getting? With BT, wifi always on, location services, bunch of data apps, whether on unrooted U firmware, rooted or V firmware, I always seem to hover around 4 hours screen on time. My phone does sleep well though in all cases (90%+ deep sleep if untouched for an hour). With these settings OP, would you say your phone is now faster than stock?

Hey, real quick - take a look on the OP in this thread - there are 2 settings that are missing under the kernel tweaks in my LSPEED settings! (Those settings are a big deal, too! SORRY!!!!)
I really can't answer your question because I ONLY run my BT for a few hours and my WiFi is on all the time. My screen brightness is set to auto (but I try to keep it as low as possible).
All I can say is test EACH governor (android has a LOT of governors that it supports) with govtuner's profiles and see what combination is best for YOU. It's possible that you'll get results similar to mine, where I actually got a near doubling of the battery. (Again, it was in conjunction with LSPEED & GOVTUNER and doing LOT of testing / tweaks).
As to your other question - HECK YES, my phone is FAR FASTER than stock. In fact, when I loaded a large spreadsheet (in excel) it would take about 30-40 seconds to load at best. Now, my phone loads these spreadsheets up in about 10 seconds (or less, though that's unusual)!
So, yes - it is FAR FASTER than stock, and I'm not understating things at all (nor am i exaggerating).
Sorry I couldn't be of more help... But I am EXTREMELY confident that you'll get an improvement - I just do not know how much!

Hi @swick, thanks for the comprehensive guide. I'm excited to try it.
The only problem I had with the steps was with Universal Init.D: it was crashing when I tried to run it. No SuperSu popup, nada. I recorded a logcat to troubleshoot.
It turns out I was using JRummy's BusyBox for Android, but after I installed BusyBox from stericson, it started working, popping up a SuperSu permissions request. Must have been some missing file or something.
Thanks again for putting this together.

When you enter su govtuner in terminal what exactly are you supposed to see? Nothing comes up when I enter it

No prob, happy to help! I was bound and determined to find a fix, or make one, because of thedarn lag. Thankfully govtuner works!
On another note, I am using jrummy's busybox without trouble. you probably just needed to reinstall busybox from within the jrummy 's app again to update links? (Just a guess though)!
I'm glad its finally working for you! Make sure you test each governor & profile to see what works best for you! There are a LOT of combinations, so enjoy! heh

[ROM] ICS 4.0.3 With working camera [UPDATE 01.05.2012]

A new version is now out, and it contains some major improvements in terms of performances and speed. It has Las_Venturas 1.0RC3+ kernel packed (thanks @jordfaz), the new camera fix (thanks @stritfajt), the scripts are now up and running (thanks @riemer for the tip), fixed app2sd and cache2cache script, Habarug's modded Phone.apk (disabled the red hang up button), a new Evervolv Toolbox + a superb boot animation (probably the best boot animation I've saw from 2009 till now). It also includes a nice script called 13cpuspeed from where you can set your own values and governor. You can see the values changed in evervolv toolbox under performance tab.
Right now when you flash the zip, the cpu speed is OC'd at: 264-652 smartass V2. I suggest you increase the min value to 352mhz. I've done this to avoid flashing a 'safe' kernel on top of the rom for those heroes that cannot support higher cpu speeds and also it's a safe way to change your values from within the script, no need for 3rd party app.
Why it is improved? Because in v2 and lower, the scripts were lying in init.d but they did not activate on boot thus making them basically useless.
But there is one more script left in init.d that it's not working. This is the *****! '02ramconfig'. This basically sets the internal task killer to higher values giving our hero a little boost in speed. I have tried many ways to force it to start. IT seems that when the boot animation is on, the values are set according to the script, after that, the values turn to normal.
We will investigate this further as we move our focus towards 4.0.5 when the sources are out. But at the time being I will show you other ways to activate the script, so don't delete it:
Keep in mind that you need to do it on every boot. Just choose a way that suits you best and do it every time you reboot your phone.
1. install AMM - auto memory management - from the market, and set it at mild or agressive.
2. If you have android sdk installed on your computer, just make this:
enter cmd and navigate to your android-sdk\platform-tools
Connect your device (make sure you have usb debugging enabled from settings).
Type adb shell and now you should type this command:
Code:
echo 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
after this, to see if the values are set, you can try this:
Code:
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and if it looks like this; 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 you are ready to go.
3. If you have 'Root Explorer.apk' you can press on any of the script from init.d (minfree, cpuspeed) and select run as Linux Script Handler -> Execute.
And the values should fire up. Note: for cpu speeds, do this after you've changed your cpu settings using a text viewer (explorer works also).
I suggest you all guys flash this latest version because includes almost all major fixes and the call drop should be fixed in this. Also, you can install apex launcher for a better performance, you will never regret it. You can enable some cool features that LV Kernel comes packed with (zRam or Kernel samepage merging briefly known as ksm). I suggest play with ksm and see how it goes.
Another nice tweak you can make to increase performance is to limit the processes to only "4" from settings-developer options-background process limit. You can play with this value as well but I suggest leaving it at 4 if you want to be enabled.

Known Bugs:
- SetupWizard reloads and turns a black screen for a couple of seconds at start up.
- screen turns black for a couple of seconds when using the gyroscope.
Keep in mind that this is in the early stage of development so not everything will be completely stable or working perfectly.
You flash this ROM at your own risk! Be sure to make a nand backup and do a full wipe before flashing.

No need to flash Gapps, they are included in this build!
Video preview of the ROM: (Thanks to gkillerx)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8zvkA8SQzs
* Recommended Flashing Instructions * *YOU CAN USE CWM OR AMON_RA***
1 - full wipe: data + cache + dalvik cache
2 - flash lights format all
3 - flash the ROM zip
4 - flash the kernel from above if youre phone does not support cpu settings of 652Mhz
5 - reboot: the first boot will take awhile
6 - ensure everything is loaded and settled by letting the screen timeout and waiting a minute or so before waking it up and proceeding
7 - go through the google setup wizard and then wait another couple mintes to allow the rest of the ROM to load up and any google data to sync
8 - reboot and allow things to load up again
9 - everything should now be ready to go
* Tips *
Enable "Force GPU Rendering" in "Settings - Developer Options" (it helps flinger to be more smooth).
Disable "Report usage and errors" in "Apex Settings - Advanced settings".
Use setcpu.apk or similar overclock app
Use autokiller.apk or similar taskkiller app
In settings->developer options: make sure window & transition animations are off
In settings->language & input->android keyboard: turn off popup/vibrate on keypress
Can open a running apps list by long-pressing the home button & swipe(or long-press) to clear (useful if an app won't open or system slows down to clear out some memory)
Disabling an app is very easy in ICS: either through the manage app screen or by dragging a particular app from the drawer to the "app info" section displayed at the top of the screen, you'll find a button to disable that app
Performance-wise it could be worthwhile to play around with the "background process limit" and "don't keep activities" options in settings->developer options
The ICS launcher makes it simple to create & use folders: just drag one icon on top of another, let go, and they will now be in a folder together which you can name whatever you like.
Apex settings - drawer settings - Disable Show Widgets tab (it helps on app drawer faster open/close).

looking forward to flashing this. cant flash as of now because need a stable phone but hopefully i'll be able to test sometime next week
i really hope its possible to get a stable ics rom on the hero *fingers crossed*
Nandroiding now Will test for a few hours before I go out
Edit: Slow download or is it just my comp?
@samm000: thank you for your work, can't wait to flash this rom, gotta see the camera working
@Habarug : yeah sloow download speed, it will take 1 hour to download the rom but I am patient
Edit: I flashed it after a full wipe, but not even after waiting 30 minutes it never passed beyond the splash screen (HERO screen), so it was in a bootloop.. gonna try to download the rom again when i get home from work.
Okay, I finally got it working here. Keyboard and pulldown and such is really smooth! but lots of apps, like search, browser, email, voice search etc is FCing all the time :/ Even Launcher is, so I can't use it ....
Edit: trying to reflash
Edit2: ....this is so awesome
Edit3: I'll try this today There are some resize issues, like the statusbar widgets being really high, I can try to fix it when I have time

I use my ROM for A several days now and I can say that the rom is very fast
there is no need to install other launchers.
if you like you can allways install other launchers.
Thank you so much for this ROM!
After having it installed and used it only briefly I must say it works pretty smooth. It's not slow at all! Feels great that our old HTC is still in the game!
I can confirm that its fast and stable

Is this rom ported from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170 this?
In aplha 1.0 yes, I had a lot of problems making it work right because the port didnt work well.
The other builds are made by me.

flashing "OpenGL_2.0_by_harut56.zip" will turn the rom's "ro.opengles.version=131072" into "ro.opengles.version=65537" ... isn't that going to revert OpenGL from 2.0 to 1.1 or am I wrong and confused?

Yes, nearly identical. The remaining mod is dalvik-cache in cache partition which free up space for your virtual sdcard. And the other is Zeppelinrox's supercharged services.jar for better multitasking.

Binary as in 0 and 1 to disable and enable respectively. I thought that is obvious.
So if you want to enable feature named X just set X=1
New version in first post. Remove requirements for init.d and busybox and it has some tweaks to tricks script.
Does anyone know if this will work on paranoid android?
I heard someone flash it successfully. To be sure just do a nandroid before hand.
Question, does it work with rooted stock?
Thanks!
It's only requirements are root and CWM, the next version might not even need root (in private testing), so you can use it on your ROM, sure.
Thanks!
Ok I'm retarded or something... i can't figure this out. Anyways, this is my question... I flashed the zip with cwm, does that mean its working now? Or do I have to use the terminal stuff it said in the Usage section and if I do, how exactly do I do that?
Thanks!

I actually have the same question.
If you see directory /sdcard/trickster with file trickster.conf inside after installing through CWM, then it should work. To change settings modify trickster.conf, but you don't really need to if you don't want/need to change settings. The default is good enough in general.
New version released with some nice goodies. Read changelog.

[UPDATED] How to have the best battery life possible in S3 Neo

In this thread I'll share with you what I use and what I did to have the best battery life I could with our phone.​
I don't know if this will work with all the models, but with mine (GT-I9301I) it works like a charm
WARNING
This "tutorial" is just for the stock KitKat ROM!!
What we need:
Root Access
Xposed
Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
Busybox
So, before I start to tell you guys how to do what I did, I'll tell you all the apps/xposed modules you'll need:
Apps:
Kernel Adiutor
Amplify
PowerNap (you need to become a alpha tester to have access to this app)
Greenify (if you have donation packake it's even better)
Root Uninstaller
Xposed Modules:
Gravity Box [KK]
ApsOpsXposed
All the apps listed above, except Kernel Adiutor and Greenify, will need Xposed to be launched! But all, except Greenify, need root
Let's start with this kind of tutorial
First thing I recommend to do is flashing the Sev3n Kernel! You can download it from here.
If you have your phone rooted and with custom recovery you must know how to do this
After flashing the kernel, go to Kernel Adiutor and in the CPU tab change the minimum frequency to 300 and the maximum frequency to 1401, change the CPU Governor to "smartmax".
Now go to CPU Hotplug tab and disable MPDecision and enable MSM Hotplug.
Now go to the Scheduler tab and change the Scheduler to "cfq".
Now, to finish, go to the Profiles tab, click on the "+", click select all and name that what you want. Why should we create a profile? Well, that's because everytime you reboot your phone your settings are going to be lost. That way you just need to go to Kernel Adiutor and select the profile instead of modifying all the things again.
Now we'll start configuring the apps and the modules!
Amplify:
This app is needed to change Wakelocks and Alarms values.
If you don't know what a Wakelock is, search on google
You'll need to have the donation package to do the following steps.
Be very carefull when writing/copy-pasting the wakelocks/alarms, because if there is a extra letter, it can even be a blank space, you'll not going to be able to find them. So, be meticulous (hope this is how you write it )
Wakelocks to change:
"NetworkStats" - 800
"Wakeful StateMachine: GeofencerStateMachine" - 10800
"GCoreFlp" - 10800
"*net_scheduler*" - 10800
"Icing" - 10800
"NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock" - 10800
"SyncLoopWakeLock" - 10800
"NlpWakeLock" - 41400
"AsyncService" - 10800
Alarms to change:
"com.google.android.intent.action.SEND_IDLE" - 43200
"com.google.android.finsky.services.ContentSyncService" - 7200
"com.google.android.intent.action.GCM_RECONNECT" - 43200
"com.google.android.gms/ .checkin.EventLogService$Receiver" - 86400
"com.android.server.action.NETWORKS_STATS_POLL" - 10800
"android.net.ConnectivityService.action.PKT_CNT_SAMPLE_INTERVAL_ELAPSED" - 10800
"com.google.android.gms.gcm.ACTION_CHECK_QUEUE" - 43200
"com.google.android.gms.common.receiver.LOG_CORE_ANALYTICS" - 9999999
"com.google.android.apps.hangouts.CLEANUP_DB" - 10800
"android.content.syncmanager.SYNC_ALARM" - 43200
Now, to finish the Amplify configuration, go to the "Alarms" section and click on the middle icon in the top right corner.After that, click on plus and, in the first spot, write "ALARM_WAKEUP[0-9]{4,}" and on the second spot write "86400".
PowerNap:
In this app we just need to change one thing.
Open the app and click on "Endurance Mode". Once you're there, click on "Activation" and drag the circle all the way to the right and select the "Enable while charging" option. Now just press "OK".
Greenify:
This app is a piece of cake to configure!
If you have Donation Package, go to "Experimental feature..." in the 3dot menu. Once you're there, change the working mode to "Boost" and select the "Greenifying System Apps" option.
Now return the the app's home screen and tap the "+" button.
Now you'll see a list of apps and things they do. Select the most 3rd party apps you can and choose, but very carefully, some system apps, like "S Memo" and stuff like that. But never choose "SuperSU"!!
Gravity Box [KK]:
The only good thing to the battery we can do on this app is lowering the minimum brightness level to 1.
To do this, tap on the "Display Tweaks" tab and then tap "Brightness Settings". There, switch the top button to "ON" and drag the "Minimum brightness level" circle all the way to the left.
ApsOpsXposed:
This app doesn't have too much to learn, but takes a bit off time to reach the configs we need.
What I did was just removing all the Location permissions and removing all the Startup permissions.
Root Uninstaller:
Well, our stock ROM comes with a service called "Exchange Service", and it drains battery A LOT!!
So, the only solution to solve that drain is either freeze it or uninstall it! I recommend you to freeze the app, but if you decide to uninstall it, make a backup of it
Believe me, this will save you A LOT of battery
And this is it, we reached the finish line. Well, hope I could help you guys!!
This worked for me, I can't promisse it'll work for you. If you need something, just reply to this and I'll help as soon as I can
Kisses :*

bootloop in recovery
Hi, I believe I made a mistake wiping data before installing and now say it is installed but cannot mount data and system, here photos, someone has idea how to repair without Odin and restart from gingerbread, which mistake I did?
Coming from Full advance, became very laggy after a couple of days.
Thanks
my device get auto reboot many time with in a day ... now i tried to flash other rom and only get updater error 7 ??? what is wrong ???
@satism
For the auto reboot I believe is a lack of memory/resources, just slim down applications and/or reduce processor speed. For error 7 you may try to keep wiping and installing the same file or simply installing for 3 or 4 times, usually I am lucky.
Or installing a different recovery.

Best battery settings on any [ROM + kernel]

Hello People,
I tried a lot of ROMs , Custom kernels and always tried to get a good battery backup. Choosing ROM and custom kernel is completely depends upon our need and choice so I don't want to tell you which ROM or kernel provides you best back-up, but I will definitely help you in getting best battery through that particular ROM or kernel.
NOTE - I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING WRONG HAPPENS WITH YOUR PHONE
Pre-requisites -
1 - Magisk installed
2- xposed framework installed(can be flashed from magisk downloads {SDK 27 for oreo 8.1} )
3- Apps needed -
Greenify (Xposed needed for few tweaks) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Naptime https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze
Amplify (Xposed needed) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce
L speed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paget96.lspeed
EX kernel manager or Kernel auditor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
4- Patience
First of all goto settings> battery> right corner 3 dots > battery optimisation> try to optimise all specially google play services if your rom allows you to optimise [ NOTE - DO NOT OPTIMISE DOWNLOADS, IT WILL LEAD TO FC]
GREENIFY SETTINGS
After installing from playstore ,Activate greenify module in xposed installer app and reboot, then follow these settings-
1 - Goto greenify> settings > Aggressive doze > activate ( Activate notifications also, if you want to know for how much time the device has gone into doze mode)
2- Enable Wake-up Tracker > enable "advanced wake-up cut-off'
3- Enable automatic hibernation and quick action notification
4- Xposed based features > enable 'doze on the go' and 'wakeup time Coalescing' ( you can also enable "don't remove notifications")
5- now add apps to greenify by tapping on '+' add all the GCM( google cloud messaging ) apps and bulky apps and games such as facebook , PUBG etc
FEW APPS RUN BACKGROUND FREE AND DRAIN BATTERY SO THOSE APPS WHICH SAY THAT IT IS RUNNING IN BACKGROUND FREE, TAP ON THAT APP> BOTTOM RIGHT 3 DOT>ACTIVATE IGNORE BACKGROUND FREE.
FEW APPS STILL RUN IN BACKGROUND , ENABLE 'IGNORE WORKING STATE' FOR THEM.
NOTE- TAKE CARE OF APPS YOU WANT TO GET NOTIFICATIONS ALL THE TIME ,DO NOT ADD THEM!
NAPTIME
You just need to give permissions and enable 'Aggressive doze', 'Disable motion detection while charging' and 'disable aggresive doze while charging' (third one is optional)
If you want to add some apps in " Apps whitelist for sensor usage during doze" , you can add
AMPLIFY
Just activate the module from xposed , open and give all the permissions. IT AUTOMATICALLY SETS SOME DEFAULT SETTINGS .
L SPEED
give all the permissions > goto battery> enable "battery improvement" , "Doze optimization" , and "Aggressive doze
FEW MORE SETTINGS FOR SYSTEM STABILITY
goto main tweaks> enable 'kernel panic', 'improve scrolling' and ' liquid smooth UI'.
goto CPU tuner > enable CPU optimizer
goto LNET optimizer> enable "RIL tweaks", " NET TCP tweaks" , " net speed+" ,and Google DNS
goto I/O tweaks > enable I/O boost
Set FStrim on boot
EX kernel manager ( these options are not available in all the kernels, most of the kernels have it)
goto CPU > hotplugging - autosmp ,enable - wq_power_saving( AND SET IT ON BOOT BY TAPPING AT RIGHT SIDE)
NOTE - YOU CAN ALSO DO THESE SETTINGS IN KERNEL AUDITOR APP, WHICHEVER APP YOU PREFER!
I TESTED THESE SETTING ON - AOSIP + MOUN KERNEL
this is what I had done and got the best according to my usage , I will post the battery stats...
please let me know , if anything more we can do to increase back-up and post your experience and battery, you guys are getting
CREDITS : TO ALL THE APP DEVELOPERS WHICH I HAVE POSTED LINKS HERE , AND I HAVE NOT ATTACHED ANY APP HERE. DOWNLOAD ALL THE APPS FROM THE OFFICIAL LINKS AND HELP THE DEVELOPERS,THEY ARE REALLY DOING HARD-WORK FOR US.
Thanks
let me be the first to thank you for your time and patience and share with us this imformation

Which ROM + kernal
wq_power_saving
where is this setting in EX kernel manager
wq_power_saving( AND SET IT ON BOOT BY TAPPING AT RIGHT SIDE)
Lol the only thing this is missing is "turn your phone off". People are too damn fixated on getting 24 hours of SOT. How about just charging the phone? A battery pack is $10.
