Guide to get 10+ hrs SOT withot any significant performance loss (Magisk required) - LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion

Requirements :-
1. Rooted phone with Magisk installed.
2. Xposed framework (install 'busybox' module --reboot-- install 'riru core' module --reboot-- install 'riru edxposed sandhook' module --reboot--) & later install the 'edexposed manager' apk.
3. Magisk modules - 1. Debloter 2. Bromite Systemless Webview (optional but recommended)
4. Greenify app (full version i.e. donation package)
5. Swift Installer
Note - Please reboot after each magisk module is installed. If rebooting after multiple module installed at once phone may stuck on bootloop.
Steps -
Kernel Adiutor
1. Install FKM (Franko kernel manager) - go to the app ->
click on CPU tab ->
For 'Big Cores' set maximum frequency to 2169 Mhz ->
later set CPU governor to 'powersave' only for 'Big Cores -> toggle the option to 'on'.
Thats it, leave the 'little cores' as it is. -> REBOOT
2. Ater the FKM settings has been applied, install the 'Kernel Adiutor' app ->
click the 3 lines options from the top left screen ->
Click on 'CPU' tab -> For 'Big Cores' set maximum frequency to 2169 Mhz ->
set CPU governor to 'powersave' only for 'Big Cores ->
set CPU governor to 'schedutil' for 'little Cores'. turn on 'Apply on boot' option.
3. Now go to the 'GPU' tab from 3 lines menu -> set CPU governor to msm-adreno-tz' ->turn on 'Apply on boot' option.
4. Now go to the 'Low memory killer' tab from 3 lines menu -> click once on 'very light' -> turn on 'Apply on boot' option.
5. Uninstall the FKM app. REBOOT.
Debloat
Warning : For this please keep ready the LGUP tool and proper .kdz file for your device [i repeat do not ignore this]
Here are some of the apps that i debloted using 'debloat' magisk module->
1. Photos
2. Lens
3. Google Play Music
4. Calender (dont debloat if you want to sync it)
5. Chrome
6. Docs
7. Google text-to-speech engine
8. Gmail
9. Duo
10. Slides
11. Sheets
12. Gboard (Google keyboard)
13. Google Play movies
14. Google Maps
15. Google News
16. Facebook App Manager
17. Facebook App Installer
18. Youtube (If you debloat it, it wont run, it needs system access. Since i used Youtube Vanced i dont care)
Until this after rebooting all worked well.
But After debloating '19. Google' and rebooting my phone, it bootlooped. Thus, I have to LGUP and select the 'upgrade' option and flash the stock again and it worked fine and i successfully debloated the 'Google' app too. This is the main battery culprit. Or you you can just disable it. see if it works for you or not.
Note :- Debloat doesn't mean uninstalling, it means converting system apps to normal apps just opposite what the 'Sytemizer' magisk module does.
Greenify
1. install the greenify app (full version needed) -> then go to the Edxposed Manager -> click on 3 line menu -> click on module -> turn on 'greenify' -> REBOOT.
2. Open Greenify app -> Give it all the permissions needed -> now to go the setting from the 3 dots menu -> It should be showing working mode 'Root + Boost (Xposed)'.
3. Smart Hibernation = Enabled; Aggressive Doze = Enabled; Wake-up tracking and cut-off = Enabled; Automatic Hibernation = select it; Always ignore backgrounf free = select it.
4. Now click on Xposed-based features -> select each and every options.
5. Reboot the greenify app.
6. Now on the main screen of greenify, click on the 'zzz' icon and select the apps it recommends and most of the apps u dont care much about and click them for sleep just once and never again.
Swift Installer -
1. If you are using substratum please STOP. It drains a hell lot of battery.
2. Use swift installer instead for theming various apps you like.
3. And for system theming any good theme from PlayStore could work.
Major Note :- This isn-t the fool proof method of increasing battery life out of nowhere without losing some performance.
Sure it will, but you will even not notice it and will easily get you through it. Atleast it happens well with me
For Gamers : Just take away the root access from the Kernel Aduitor from Magisk Manager and reboot when you want to play system heavy games.
For All : if you notice any lag which annoys you, please start tweaking the 'Greenify' first rather than going directly after 'Kernel Aduitor'.
Please provide the precious feedback and other tweaks and tricks here to further improve the Battery and Performance of our beloved Phone LGv40.
I will be posting battery backup, SOT proofs stay tuned.

Using of Hotspot Still drains battery like water.

Hey all. To be honest this is the best battery saving guide among others after searching it for so long. I'm using LG V40 V409N with magisk root, of course. I would able to get close to 8 hours of SOT. Followed it to the letter. Two minor differences are my phone didn't boot loop after debloat Google and I'm using Franco Kernel app to substitute Kernel Adiutor. I'm satisfied with the result. I used to get only 3 to 4 hours of SOT. So increment of double the SOT is awesomely welcome.
I tried it with Oneplus Nord that my wife is currently using and can get 7 hours SOT with it. That is way better than 4 hours of SOT before. One thing is clear, this guide is working. Solute to smatybro7788 that make this guide. And thank you.

Battery has been my concern with this phone. Rom is not stable after root and crossflash i noticed that after a while you will start to see screen flickers here where battery consumption going crazy a factory reset will put things back to normal till screen flickers again.I am not an expert i know a little i discovered that if i go to maximum power saver phone go easy on battery magically (whyyyy) that's why this tutorial is aiming to address this issue thank you.

[GUIDE][Script][Tweaks] V6 SuperCharger for HTC Desire C

Desire C people!
This stuff is good. Probably you heard about it already, now I tried it and seems to work very well, especially the memory management. Quite a sophisticated tool as far as me noob understand ugh,ugh! :cyclops:
So basically a collection of kernel and memory management tweaks, but has a lot of other like SD card tweaks and maintenance scripts which you can also schedule with SManager. And the download page has some other useful stuff like 3G turbocharger and battery calibrator.
In all it seems like a must have for DC users.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Once you used it a bit it's pretty straight forward and explains everything in details when running the script, and you have the option to "unsupercharge", but have a nandroid backup at hand.
I used two guides, but the first is for Galaxy and the second is less detailed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603953
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908505
And for Desire C, check the post below
Many thanks for nikhil16242 for recommending me this, many scripts are in his Customiser already, he would have integrated the whole V6 Supercharger, but Aroma doesn't like it. That would be awesome though!
All credits to zeppelinrox for these truly awesome scripts:good:
One wonders why android doesn't have some of them by default.
V6 Supercharger Install Guide for Desire C
~ v6 supercharger install guide for desire c ~
aka how I have done it, so it's not an absolute one.
zeppelinrox's original thread is here.

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!

NOTE: Delete all conflicting scripts from init.d folder, otherwise it will be laggy and annoying!
Conflicting scripts I have found so far:
- all the thunderbolt except miuiCMremount (V6 does most of these like sd card tweaks and zipalign anyway)
- mpengine and laserdroid (also from /system and /xbit)
If you don't know which scripts are from where, unzip nikhil16242's Customiser and check the folders.
Also do not install everything on one breath. Do it gradually (v6 - nullifier - engine flush and so on), test with a demanding game like Temple Run, so you can opt out any possible problems.
What you need:
All V6 scripts are here.
ScriptManager [download]
- If you have stock ROM:
Download Supercharger Starter Kit from the V6 scripts, on the page it's explained how to use it, couldn't be more simple:
Using SuperCharger Starter Kit (Prepares your ROM with the fixed su binary, zipalign binary, sqlite3 binary and busybox v1.19.4... and does NOT include the V6 SuperCharger scipt):
- Extract the zip to the root of the sdcard and it will all be in /sdcard/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit
- With Script Manager, just run StartMeUp.sh to install everything at once.
- Or, in terminal do: su, enter, sh /sdcard/Super*/Start*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All the rest is the same as the following:
- If you are on custom ROM:
then busybox is already installed, so you don't need the starter kit.
I. SUPERCHARGER INITIAL SETUP
The script guides you through the process, so watch it closely. In the setup it automatically determines some optimal settings, but you can change them any time.
Step 1. Put the latest V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-UpdateX_XXX (X is the actual version number) on your SD card
Step 2. In SManager:
--- 1. make sure you have granted SuperUser access, and set browse in root (long press recent apps button > Menu > Advanced > Configuration > Browse as root), but if you used before it's already set
--- 2. open the script on your SD card, set the properties to: Favorites (star icon), Root (green android skull icon) and tap Run to execute the script installer.
Step 3. A bunch of text start to come up, watch it closely, it guides you through the installer. Home Locked in Memory? n (No) and press enter and another enter to continue to drivers console.
First it goes to Pit Stop to set Driver Options, where you will be asked for Scroll Speed but also various tweaks which can improve the performance. Go through each and decide if you want them or not (I enabled most of them in he script)
When asks Use Build.Prop? : n (No) to use local.prop - I chose this, it sounds safer.
Step 4. You need to patch services.jar. It can be done automatically or manually (however the script recommends manual, and when I did it automatically for the first time, it did not backup services.jar and could not unsupercharge, only by restoring it from the rom .zip) Don't worry, doing it manually couldn't be easier:
In the Driver's Console choose:
25. Jelly ISCream Parlor {Install services.jar}​Choose manual mode, which will take you to the [RC9] ULTIMATIC RC6! [EXE]-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=-With Maximum MultiTasking Mods! thread in your default browser, from which the essential instructions are the following:
--- 1. Connect your Android to your PC with Android Debugging ENABLED and Mass Storage DISABLED so your device has access to your sdcard. I just put it in Charge Only mode...
--- 2. Download the latest Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher_Tools_XXX_Windows.exe.zip to your PC - Windows exe is NOT zipped. Just remove the .zip extension!
--- 3. Start the exe and follow the instructions in the script. It will ask you which mode you want to use your Launcher in: Hard To Kill Launcher, Die-Hard Launcher or BulletProof Launcher. Choose Hard to Kill (HK), it is the best for our device.
You can add Maximum Multitasking mod as well, according to tests it works fine, but I did not install it in the beginning, then didn't bother
If follow the instructions in the script till the end, your services.jar should be patched, and the script will confirm this.
--- 4. On your phone in V6 script, you are still in the menu 25., right? Press x (exit), which takes you again to the Driver's Console. Choose: 32. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)​
Step 5. Press enter to return to Drivers Console. Pressing enter will automatically run Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer and will calculate optimum SuperMinFree values
Apply SuperMinFree Calculator Settings? : y (Yes) to apply calculated MinFree (low memory killer - lmk) values so you don’t need to choose, but you can change it after completing the initial setup and then running the script again in menu point:
10. Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer.​Or if you type n (No), you can choose manually right away, doesn't make a difference. If it was set automatically, go to step 5. and come back later if you want to change it:
For a low memory device like ours, 512 HP recommended, these are the options in menu points:
5. UnLedded (Multitasking) {8,14,40,50,60, 75}
6. Ledded (Balanced) {8,14,55,70,85,100}
7. Super UL (Aggressive) {8,14,75,90,95,125} - it does 130-140MB​
However the best setting recommended me by educated colleague nikhil16242 and I tried is:
10 15 25 45 80 100 (slot1 - slot2 and so on)
with this I always have 120-130MB free RAM and no lag, Temple Run is butter smooth Basically it kills processes below that level (but still prioritises them - really smart script), which means less multitasking, but two-three apps that I needed in multitask were working perfectly, I didn't notice any difference, but snappier phone.
Try whichever suits you best.
Step 6. Press Enter - this action will backup Re-SuperCharger files to SD Card, in case you want to restore your Supercharger settings.
Step 7. SuperClean & ReStart : y (Yes), this will wipe your dalvik-cache so bootup time will take longer this time.
Step 8. After restart, open SManager and:
--- 1. Go to /system/etc/init.d (you can bookmark it for later access)
--- 2. Tap on S99SuperCharger and set the following properties:
------ a. Favorites (star icon)
------ b. Root (green android skull icon)
------ c. Start on Boot (gear icon)
--- 3. Tap on Save, close Script Manager and Restart your phone
NOTE:
If you don’t follow step 8., you will get an error the next time you run the script and it will show you owner’s handbook on your default web browser.
II. OOMIFIER & LAUNCHER
If you patched services.jar and choose SuperMinFree values manually then you have this already. If not, then:
OOM Grouping Fixes will determine which are the more priority apps and keeps them alive better. The Launcher mode determines how easy it will be for the mem killer to kill the launcher in case of low memory. Works flippin good, I'm tellin ya
Step 9. After restart, open SManager and Run V6_SuperCharger_for_AndroidX_XXX script again (make sure you run it in root [skull icon] but not boot [gear icon])
--- 1. SuperCharger will run Test Drive, just wait for it to finish and then continue to the Drivers Console.
During the install it should set the optimal mode automatically, which was BulletProof for me, probably because I chose the aggressive memory kill (sounds convincing lol) mode. Anyway, this means the Launcher will never get killed, about which some say it's not recommended.
--- 2. So on the Drivers Console you can choose between these launcher modes in the menu points, in reverse order of toughness:[/INDENT]
11. OOM Grouping Fixes + Hard To Kill Launcher
12. OOM Grouping Fixes + Die-Hard Launcher
13. OOM Grouping Fixes + BulletProof Launcher​Eventually I changed it to Hard To Kill, but it's up to you.
--- 3. Hard To Kill? : y (Yes) to apply
Press Enter to go back to Drivers Console
III. NITROLAG NULLIFIER
It's an experimental feature, don't know what it does exactly, but I switched it on Everything is flawless for me since, so I say go for it.
Step 10. In the Drivers Console, select:
21. Nitro Lag Nullifier {Experimental}​Enter (N)ullify, (U)n-Nullify, E(X)it: N (Nullify) to apply Nitro Lag Nullifier
After applying Nitro Lag Nullifier, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
IV. 2 in 1 ENGINE FLUSH
It flushes the RAM cache so the phone doesn't get sluggish after days of usage.
The 2 Modes are: -=Fast Engine Flush=- for instant flush and -=Engine Flush-O-Matic=- for automation.
Step 11. In the Drivers Console, select:
17. Engine Flush-O-Matic {ReCoupe RAM Booster}​Continue and drop all file system caches? : y (Yes) to clear system cache on RAM
It will ask you (gives you 20 s to decide lol) if you want to automate it, so you don't need to schedule it in SManager. If yes, you set an interval between 1-24, which counts as hours, so it determines how frequently flushes the RAM cache. Some people set it for every hour, so why not, I did that too. Hmmm that was good
After Engine Flush, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
V. SUPERCLEAN AND RESTART
Wipes dalvik and reboots the phone, you need that before you start to using it.
Step 12. In the Drivers Console, select:
30. SuperClean & ReStart {Wipe Dalvik & Reboot}​Do you want to SuperClean & ReStart now? : y (Yes)
VI. VERIFY SUPERCHARGER STATUS
Step 13. After restart, open SManager and run V6 SuperCharger again. You should see Supercharger Level: 100%, then you are good to go.
As the script rolls it indicates your settings so you know what is set and what's not. You can check out the other menu points, and number:
27. Owner's Guide {Open !SuperCharger.html}​This opens the... Owners Guide! ...in the default browser, you can wise yourself up about the different options.
VII. KICKASS KERNELISER
Downolad the script and launch it the same way as V6. Look at the text, wisen up and choose KickAss (k).
It will place S98KickAssKerneliser script in init.d, skull it and gear it, and reboot the phone.
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are only 75% supercharged, that probably means MinFree (the mem killer) settings doesn't stick (so you see you have the usual low amount of free RAM). Check the S99Supercharger script in SManager if it has the root and boot privileges (In /system/etc/init.d or Long pressing recent apps button > Menu > Scripts), set them again if they were not and reboot the phone. If it's not set again, open Owner's Guide to figure out what's next, but if you followed the steps properly, you should be fine.
Check the note in the beginning of the post for deleting conflicting scripts!
All the scripts and backups are in two places:
1. on SD card /V6_SuperCharger folder
2. /data/V6_SuperCharger
and the logs and manuals under them.
When you run a script in SuperCharger, it places a separate one in the folders, so you can make widgets with SManager for fast access:
- Long press home screen, select SManager from widgets, locate the SuperCharger folder and select the script you want to have at hand.
- For example for quick change between MinFree modes, the scripts will be in V6SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts (you need to run them in SuperCharger first in order to be created separately, or if you installed the additional V6 scripts (or something like that) in nikhil16242's Customiser before, they will be in init.d already).
You'll know you have chosen a suitable MinFree mode if if you play Temple Run with no lags at all shaboooooom!!!!
See, wasn't too hard and you are SuperCharged now.
Enjoy it like a Boss!
Kudos to CarlDeanCatabay and Androidmarketuser for the guides that helped me and are in the OP.
And most of all to zeppelinrox for V6 SuperCharger :good:
Started reading looks great but by ekk I'm finding it hard to get my old head round some of it. Usually when I'm like this I have to read read read till it starts making sense .So will prolly take me a bit of time.
Re: [Script][TWEAKS] V6 Supercharger
This script is really awesome once you get everything done properly,just takes a while to read the entire OP though .
Ram management is another very essential thing to be done on a low ram device like ours.Stock ram management seems to be poor imo so I use this and the results are truely amazing .

guide updated
Hey guys, well actually i have an issue while i'm trying to run the v6 supercharger. It succesfully passes the drive test but it gets stuck at the next step. it throws me a lot of lines like 'find system/lost+found/ Too many open files' and i can't get rid of it, please help
this guide is quite old now, supercharger has been updated since numerous times. if you have a nandroid backup restore it, if not then ask zeppelinrox in his original thread. also supercharger does automatic backup before you apply the settings, which can be restored from the menu if something goes wrong, try it.

HELP
I've got a problem with my Nook Color (BNRV200)​
Tired of searching for a thread that tells you what to do when you need to install, fix a problem, need a recovery, etc. I have compiled a number of links to various threads by developers and others that answer questions that get asked a lot. This post is intended to give a site that will make finding these answers easier than a regular search. It will have a list of threads and posts with various helps, have a topical list of problems and sites which address those topics, links to common sites and app needed to get what both Noob and seasoned members need to work with and on Nook Colors.
You choose to make changes, flash ROMs, etc. it is your choice. You assume all responsibility for what ever happens. I list these links because I know they have helped and work for me as well as many others. If you need help with a particular problem addressed in these links, ask on those threads.
If you use information in any of these links make sure to click on the thanks button both here and in those links. If you want to write a thank you note also, that to is fine, but does not add to the "Thanks" counter. These people have worked hard for free that we can have greater enjoyment and fun with our tablets. Most get nothing for their time and effort so "thanking them" is their greatest return and the least the rest of us can do in appreciation. Credit and kudos are given by Authors Names in Post #2

To get faster bootup you can disable the boot animation and save about 30 seconds from boot up time by adding "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" to the build property file in the /system folder. This is a pain though if you keep up with the nightlies regularly like I do. I got tired of editing the file for every update or reversion if there was a problem with the newer nightly. So I created a script that goes into the Userinit.d folder that checks build.prop on every boot and adds the line if needed without any further intervention. The first boot after installing a new nightly will have the boot animation but no more till the next install when the process will repeat all automatically. Download the AutoNoBootAnimationScript.zip in attached files below, unzip, follow the included instructions and enjoy.

Installing new CM11 and latest Gapps and no Google Play. Problem /system is too small.
The Prefered way to fresh install latest nightlies: If you do a conventional (no repartition) install using the smaller 01/05 Gapps and install the other Goople apps through Google play. They install into the /data directory instead of the /system. You can do this also with Gmail, Sound search (ears), Google TTS and Hangouts.
Alternate experimental adventurous way. There are two .zips available that will repartition your Nook and give you more /system space and /Data space.
Dweatons mod of Leapinlarswork, Repart.zip, is here and will yield 1.1Gb /System, 2Gb /Data, and 3.6Gb /Media.
Mine is here and will yield 1.1Gb /System, 4.5Gb /Data, and 1Gb /Media. You must get and use a reformat 5,6,7,8.zip after the running the repartition.zip for dweatons get Leapinlar's here. For mine get it here. the difference is for his you must install with CWM before 6.0.3.6, mine works with 6.0.4.8. Reverts to B&N Stock /system are available here.

Customize Rom or Apps without being a developer - Xposed Framework
Customize Rom or Apps without being a developer - Xposed Framework
From Rovo89's thread
In this thread, I'm presenting a framework which gives you the possibility to modify your ROM - without modifying any APK (developers) or flashing (users)!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get Xposed Framework and install instructions Click on "click to show content" box
For the framework:
Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!l
You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again. If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Then you can try to flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2308
For any modules you want to install:
Download <module>.apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
For information & help with Xposed Framework go to Rovo89's thread.
Once you have installed the Xposed Framework you can get many of the modules under the Download tab in the framework app.
There are also a large number of modules at this thread made for module developers to list their work. If the Modules indicate they are made for a specific phone or tablet they may not work on others. If you try and it does not do what it says it will do, contact the module maker, not rovo89, unless it is his module, ie: "Make Play store show all apps" or just un-install the module. No guarantees they will help. Some only have one tablet and only develop for what they have.
A Short list of some of the things you can do using Xposed Framework and modules.
These do all work with CM11 current nightlies and CM 10.2 last nightly, 1/19/14
For more info on Modules listed install Xposed Framework and click on Download tab​
Change color of status bar / notification bar. Xposed Framework - X Blast tools. Plus lot more. By femblack.
Network Speed Indicator - by fatminmin. With 123 below the up down speed can be shown in two readable rows. ** This will not work with CM10.2 Stable with the 3.0.8 Kernel or the updated hack fix kernel
Play Store link in app info - by qwerty12 - Does what the title says
App settings - by Tungstwenty & Rovo89 - What it is: This is an Xposed module that allows changing generic settings on a per-app basis. "Generic settings" means settings that are global to all applications, such as: perceived DPI, rotation behavior, fullscreen, etc..
Play Store Fixes - Rovo89 - Make play store show all apps
Enable SwiftKey predictions in more places - by qwerty12 - Email address website and filter list fields.
123 Dimension Editor. - by Hamzahrmalik - Change various UI dimensions: Status bar height, Navigation bar height and others. I doubled the height of my status bar and shrunk my navigation bar.
Cool Tool: - by Deviant Studio Software - Monitor various system info in floating window or in Status Bar. I have time, day, date, Free Memory and Battery Temp in two rows of my status bar.
Status bar volume. - by Niko001 - Move the volume bar over the status bar.
I do like things my way. That is what Android is noted for.​
This Module "Workaround for Netflix on CM10/CM10.1" works on most any CM10 thru 10.2 Rom.
From Kaepernick's post.
"Well, thanks to Entropy512's help, I was able to modify his Xposed hack to work on CM10 (based on Android 4.1) and CM10.1 (based on Android 4.2) for the Incredible. Using the newest Netflix app and it's working well without issue.

Run CM10 & 11 smoother and get more free memory
Tips to help CM10 and CM11 run smoother, less laggy, etc.,
and have more free memory on your Nook Color
and maybe even a little longer battery life.
These are a collection of tips that have been collected from various post in XDA, personal sharing with others, and as a result of my own desire to try to improve things where I can. I have tried everything listed here and each adds a little to smoothness(s), free memory(f) or battery(b) life. My CM11 flashed Nook runs quite smoothly, with free memory at desktop running from 110 to 160 Mb and six to eight hours of battery life depending on type of constant use. This is on a nearly three year old tablet. I have partitions set to 5Gb data and 1Gb media. All apps are in the tablet. I also have a 32Gb Sdcard. I also have over 220 apps including system apps. I use my tablet from 6-8 hours or more a day.​
Unless noted all apps mentioned are available through Google Play. I recommend the apps, etc., because they work for me. I get nothing out of it except the joy of helping others. Like everything try at your own risk. This includes app I have on my Nooks. If you have other programs you can try adjusting them as I have and see how it helps, or not. Trying and finding out what does and doesn't work is half the fun.
Free and simple​
On all CM10 and CM11: (s) Try lowering your maximum clock speed to 1000, or even 800mhz in System, Performance Processor, Maximum CPU frequency. Many have reported improved smoothness at slower speeds. Faster can run ahead of itself and actually make things jittery. Make sure to check Set on boot to retain settings.
CM11: Use 5/17+ nightly.
On all: System Settings ( some may only apply to CM10 or 11 List:
Wifi, advanced,Uncheck Network Notification (b)
Keep Wifi on during Sleep, only when plugged in (b)
Scanning always available, uncheck (b)
Wifi Optimization, checked (b)​Sound,Set quiet hours (your sleep time)(b)
Touch sounds, screen lock sound, volume adjustment sound and Charging Sounds, Enable, all unchecked (b)​DisplaySleep (set time for max time you want screen to stay on before going to sleep, shorter time saves more battery)(b)​Developer Options,Kill app back button, checked, (Allows you to kill kill app by long pressing back button)(b)​Performance,CPU governor, (Lower on list will give faster response but use more battery, Default is "ondemand". Try the others and stick with what suits you the best.) Make sure to check Set on boot to retain settings.​If you haven't activated the "Developer Options list":In "About Tablet, Build Number, tap ten times till it states "Developer Options turn on."​
AdFree: (b) Available on Slideme.com Stops adds in browsers and most all App with add banners. Saves time by not downloading the adds.
On All: ((f,b) Freeze / Disable unused (unusable) apps in System.(b,s,f)
Don't delete them since any ROM update you install will replace them, freezing / disabling them will last through an update. The stock App manager allows you to disable most of these. Titanium Backup and Rom Toolbox Pro can freeze more but do cost, though I think they are well worth the price for what they deliver. There are some free "App freezer" programs available. I've only tried Chef's App Freezer, check the ratings and comments.Android Keyboard (ASOP) - I use Swiftkey (lite is available)
Camera - (No camera in Nook, no need of file)
Com.android.smspush. No phone text.
Gmail and / or Email and Email Services (if you use another E-mail client, ie:K9)
File Manager ( if you uses another ie Root Exporer (Speedsoft) or Root Browser (Jrummy))
Google search - Definately slo-o-ows things down
Key Chain - if you don't use lock screen
Mobile Data and Mobile Network Configuration - No phone, no need
One time Init - only used on first install once
Picasa uploader - If you don't use Picasa
Print Spooler - If you don't use it.
Sound Recorder - No Microphone, no need
Sound Search for Google Play - If you don't use it
Talk back - If you don't use or need it.
Trebuchet - If you use another Launcher.
Voice+ - No Microphone or phone, no need.
If you use a different clock than stock, calendar etc you can freeze / disable the stock version. Example: I use Dejaoffice to link with Outlook on my PC so I freeze Calendar storage, calendar, and calendar sync.​
Change app permissions: (f,b) (for apps that run at startup and then stay in memory even when you not running them.)
I use App settings, it requires Xposed Framework to run but once set up does it's thing in startup, changes permissions, and closes. To get the Xposed Framework go here.
The most common causes of this problem are the following permissions: receive boot completed, vibrate, and wake lock. Not all apps can have these turned of. App settings has the ability to launch the program from is menu. Try turning off a permission, save, menu (launch). If it works great, if not go back and turn that permission back on.
The following is a list of Apps I changed permissions on and which permissions I disabled to keep them from persisting / sticking in memory:Advanced Task Manager: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
Alarm Clock Extreme: read phone state, receive boot completed, vibrate, and wake lock.
BusyBox Installer: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
CPU Master Pro: receive boot completed.
Crackle: receive boot completed, vibrate.
DejaOffice: vibrate.
Elixer: vibrate, and wake lock.
Evernote: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
Google Play Services: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
Kyo-Tux Aeon HD: vibrate.
News and Weather: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
Nook: receive boot completed, vibrate, and wake lock.
Pandora: receive boot completed.
RoboForm: receive boot completed
ROM Manager: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
The Weather Channel: receive boot completed, vibrate.
Titanium Backup: receive boot completed, vibrate.
Winamp: vibrate.
YouTube: receive boot completed, vibrate.​​
Advanced Task Manager: (b,f,s) Put the widget in dock, set your ignore list in app. One press and all unwanted apps go bye-bye.
My Ignore List:
Adfree, Elixer Widget, Alarm Clock Extreme, K-9 mail, Nova Launcher, Swiftkey, Speaker Boost, Pie Pro, Earthquakes, AFWall+, Clipper+, DejaOffice, Tasker, 360 Security.
Not so Simple but worth the time, still free​
Replace DSPManager with Speaker Boost: (f,b) Get more volume and save EMMC memory.(DSPManager 18Mg - Speaker Boost 1.7 Mg=16.3Mg saved) Get more info here.
Replace Trebuchet with Nova Launcher: (s) does more, has more adjustments. (Does take more memory but pays back in smoothness)
LagFix (fstrim) Free. (s) Use two to three times a week. (s,b)
Use Elixer widget to replace other widgets: (f,b) and save Memory 45 meg (for Battery widget, Wifi state and stats widget, free memory and CPU stats) - 12 Meg for Elixer = 33 Emmc memory saved.
Rom toolbox lite: Settings: (f,b,s) (some of these may need Pro)
Under performance.Settings, Main Preferences, Boot Delay, 40 seconds.
Task Manager, Tap on Task Manager on top left of screen.You can change the Minfree memory settings, with CM10 I found strict to work the best. So far with CM 11 custom settings of 30 FA, 40 VA, 65 SS, 75 HA, 90 CP, and 100 EA setting works well.) I set them then save them into custom settings). Make sure to update to 5/17 nightly.
Start up killer, add Elixer, Google play services, The Weather Channel, and YouTube. (keep them out of active (service) memory or minimize there active size.)
Ignore List. 360 security (or your antivirus app), AdFree, AFWall+, Android system, Clipper+, Earthquakes, Elixer Widget, K-9 Mail, Mobile Data, Nova Launcher, Pie Pro, Rom Toolbox Pro, Speaker Boost, System UI, Tasker.​SD Boost. You can change the size of the cache to both internal and external SDcard. I find with my class 4 Sandisk SDcard a setting of 4096KB works best. A benchmark is available to test your settings. If you have a faster card ie: Class 10 you can try larger cache sizes and save as custom. ​
Not Free but worth it (IMHO)​
Upgrade to Nova launcher Prime:
In Nova Settings: (s)
Look and Feel, Scroll and Animation speeds (faster than light) (s)
New Apps - check Auto Add Short cuts, (make sure to turn off auto add in Google Play.)
Labs - Check the following, Big Grid size options, Widget Image Async List, Widget Image Cache, Restore Widgets Faster. (s) ​
Upgrade to Rom Toolbox Pro, LagFix (fstrim) Premium (scheduling trims): Get more bells and whistles and help support the developers.
Upgrade to 32 or 64Gb Class 10 SD card - Buy a 32Gb Class 10 SD card, about $20.00 + ship, prepare as usual and you'll cut your access time to the SD card buy about half. I can do a 2Gb recovery backup in about 5 and 1/2 min. With my Class 4 it takes just shy of 11 minutes.
More Memory Buy a Sandisk 64 Gb Class 10 Micro SD card, about 40.00 + ship, and partition the whole card as one Primary partition, format as FAT32, Sectors/ cluster 32 (16384 bytes) using "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" available for free here. I have donated to MiniTool since I use it for all kinds of partitioning,(resizing, moving, copy, etc.), on PC's and all kinds of flash memory. I started with the partition set to 30,451.33, copied my data from my 32G sdcard. It worked great and with SD boost set to 4096 all SD access was noticeably faster. So I used Partition Wizard to resize the card to the full capacity, the program changed the size and copied all the files in about 20 minutes. Plugged it into the Nook Color and went from 17 GB free to 47 Gb Free. It is a bit slower than the 32Gb & and the bootloader doesn't list CWM or TWRP recovery kernel or ram on the SD, but oh the storage. I can put over 40, 2 hr AVI or MPEG movies on the card and still have better than 20Gb free.
If you have other Apps, tricks, tweaks that you have tried and found to help. Please reply and I will try them out and list them if they do add to the smoother, longer, freer Nook.​
Netflix on CM11 on SD
Good source of info. Thanks! Confirming that latest Netflix is working on SD. See that thread
If you use Speaker Boost try this to save memory.
Ever since CM7 and Nook Color Tweaks, in has been necessary to find a way to boost the sound output of our little wonder tablet. I tried several an ended up using Speaker Boost. I have found that I no longer need to use DSPmanager. The problem is that freezing or disabling the app doesn't keep it from installing in memory and using 18meg of precious RAM. Renaming the file with.bak extension or deleting it works after a reboot but, if you like to keep up with the nightlies like I do it is re-installed with every update. It gets to be a pain using a file manager to do this every day. So let your Nook do the repetitive work.
So I have worked up three quick and easy ways to rename the file.The best and easiest is the last.
1. Is a Tasker task. This was the first one I used and I setup a widget so I. Can rename with one tap. The.xml file can be imported as a task into Tasker.
2. Is an apk made from the Tasker task. It works the same way just doesn't need Tasker to work.
3. A script file that can run at every boot, check if DSPManager.apk exists, and rename it. This eliminates having to rename it and reboot after every ROM update as it is renamed before the app is loaded. It is only 279 bytes and is the only file that has to remain to work. In the 90RnamDSP scripts.zip below are three files. One that goes into userinit.d folder, an instruction.txt file and an installation script that sets everything in place just by running it.
I want to thank LeapinLar for the help he gave debugging the rename script. This was my first script and had to get everything in proper order and get the syntax correct. What I learned help me build and debug the installation script in a few hours.
Download, unzip, import, install, etc, and enjoy.
Thanks, nice job

[Essentials] Must-Have Apps for Rooted Phones

My Phone's battery has almost doubled ever since I started using Kernel Adiutor and I never run out of phone storage these days. Thanks to these wonderful apps.. If you have a rooted phone, these are a must-try.. I bet you'll fall in love with these apps once you try them.
Install Xposed Framework and Busybox first.
(For LG K10, Android Marshmallow, use Xposed Installer from /SDK23/ARM/ and install latest version)
The Most efficient Power Saving Apps combo:-
Amplify (Limit unnecessary wake-ups caused often by many apps)
Greenify (Hibernate all unnecessary apps. In Pro version, even hibernated apps can send push notifications. Its amazing.)
Kernel Adiutor (Use this to tweak Kernel settings. In CPU settings, enable "Schedule Worklqueues on awake CPUs to save power")(In Low Memory Killer, Select Very Agressive)(Enable "Apply on Boot" for CPU, I/O Scheduler, Low Memory Killer, Virtual Memory, Entropy and Misc)(Restart Device.)
Check the battery usage after setting up all three of these
Make the external Storage as the default write location:-
xInternalSD (Xposed Module)
- Enter the location of your MicroSD Card. This will set that location as the default phone storage.
- Move all your files (Whatsapp, Android, Shareit or whatever) to the SD Card. Works like a charm.
Download Youtube/Facebook/Web videos:-
Xposed One Touch Video Download (Xposed Module)
- Downloads videos from Youtube, Facebook, Instagram
- Also Downloads most videos from the Web
Internet Proxy Service:-
Orbot: Proxy with Tor
- When some content is banned in your country, use this free VPN service.
Reduce Eye strain from blue light
f.lux
- When you use your phone for long durations at night, this really helps.
Force 4G LTE Only Mode (MediaTek Processors only. For Qualcomm, there are other apps in Playstore)
LTE Discovery (You can use other MTK Engineering Apps too)
- Use the built-in shortcut to the MTK Engineering tool, Open Network Selection> Select LTE Only. Do not open Mobile Network settings page from the Normal settings page. Else it will reset to 2G/3G/LTE(Auto).
- Also you can Enable "Mobile Data Service Preferred" if you want increased data transmission at the cost of Voice and Text.
If you use any such awesome app which works really good on LG K10, and want to share it with everyone, pls do share it here..
Did you install busybox from the playstore (from that link you provided above) after root or you used any flashable zips? And xposed first or busybox first? Thx

[Discussion] Mario Kart Tour + Magisk Discussion Thread

Hello Mario Kart Tour gamers,
I like this game very much and play it nearly from the beginning.
But from update to update it gets harder to hide Mario Kart from root
Now, it does not work at all, therefore I must currently play it on my old Samsung Galaxy S5 running
stock Android 6.0.1 unrooted..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 running latest modified Stock Rom (Android 9.0) because I did not upgrade to Android 10 yet.
I use latest Magisk canary debug build (20406), TWRP 3.3.1 and EdXposed also latest canary build.
With Magisk Hide I hide Google Play Services, Services Framework, Google Play Games and Mario Kart Tour,
I also hide the Magisk Manager app and use Busybox for Android NDK module by @osm0sis instead of the built in busybox.
In EdXposed I also installed the HiddenCore Module but this only shows me that I pass safety net, in reality this module is a piece of crap
and has no effect at all..
in RootbeerFresh it says that everything is ok and I am not rooted but in MagiskManager ctsProfile and basicIntegrity is red and Safetynet Check fails, even after uninstalling EdXposed completely..
I guess because of this Mario Kart Tour is not working anymore.
Till today the App crashes while loading everytime I opened it, then I digged a bit deeper and found out that I also had to delete the TWRP folder on internal SD and after that Mario Kart tour DID NOT CRASH anymore while loading, the content (500MB) was downloaded without any issue but now I have another issue, the game does not load, I get "An error occured - Support-Code 806-6502" and the app crashes again.
When I search for this error I did not find a lot but here:
https://github.com/knobse/Mario-Kart-Tour/wiki/Error-Codes
it says something with Safetynet and that would fit because Safetynet is currently broken.
Any ideas if there is anything I can do or does Mario Kart maybe recognises unlocked bootloader?
It definetly checks if Safetynet is okay or not and when it it no good Mario Kart does not work at all..
regards
SafetyNet failing both checks might be because of one of your modules. A few are known to cause this, like Safetypatcher, FDE.AI and EdXposed (unless you run the current Canary release of EdXposed, v0.4.6.3 I think).
If it's not that you can try clearing the cache for Play Services. That's been known to fix SafetyNet failures recently.
OMG wiping cache of Google Play Services did the trick, many thanks
Now I try to install EdXposed again and see if securitynet still is ok.
If not I will live without it in the future..
Edit:
It is also working with the latest EdXposed Canary build, many thanks for your support.

.. with an existing "twrp"-folder on internal storage the game could crash too ..
I have Orange Fox and I've hide the game using magisk hide, but still crashes or FC
i can not get MKT to work after doing pixel 3 XL June update.
im using magisk manager 7.5.1,
safetyNet check success , crsprofile: true, basicintgrity: true
the latest magiskhide props config v5.2.6-v93
latest busybox NDK 1.31.1
Magisk Hide
MKT
google play services
is there something else im missing? to make MKT to work.
EDIT:: got fix. after installing YT Venced. i dont know how.
Any of you having issues with MKT after upgrading to android 11? Everything was working fine until I switches to Android 11 + Canary magisk, game launches, everything seems fine, then it just completely freezes like 20 seconds into gameplay while audio continues, have to kill it each time. Not sure if its android 11 that is breaking it, or Magisk canary, but havn't read any reports of the app being broken in android 11. This is on Pixel 4XL + Android 11 + Magisk Canary latest.
Weirdly, using Island seems to work, not sure what the difference is.
I have the same problem, but with Lineage 17.1 (Android 10) + Magisk 21 in a Samsung Galaxy A7 2016. Any information about it?
I was on a custom ROM that passed sn but mkt would keep freezing after 20 seconds. Turns out it was the kernel causing it

Hi, having the same issue. Have you fixed it? which custom kernel are you using that works?.
I read on another thread that deleting the twrp folder on internal storage did the trick.
For me that worked

Just found a way that is more simple and works for every "root-prof" app to run almost every app that detects root.
Requirements:
- Android 8.0+
- TWRP installed
- Magisk 20.4 beta zip
- Latest Magisk Manager apk
- safetynet-fix-1.1.0 zip (link bellow or download the attachement from thread)
- Patience (just kiddin)
Safetynet fix zip link: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v1.1.1/safetynet-fix-v1.1.1.zip
You need to do the exact things at this order:
1: Install Magisk 20.4 beta zip in TWRP;
2: Reboot into system;
3: Go to Magisk and update the manager only (not magisk);
4: Reboot;
5: Open Magisk Manager and in the first page on the top right click on settings, scroll down and enable MagiskHide, give another name to the magisk like "Honolulu" or something (i give that name, i know is not related but, pointless);
6: Reboot;
7: Go to main screen of Magisk and check if you have the random name like md5 checksum type in "installed" line bellow magisk title in blue, and within "( )" in front saying (21405) - thats the version you need to have, and if you dont see the 4 icons from the app menu's in the middle bottom of the app like "home, root, registry, modules" - if you dont see that 4 icons tab go ahead above the page and click on "install" (in front of Magisk title in blue) chose the recomended and let it flash inside the app;
8: Reboot;
9: Go to Magisk again and go to second icon from left to right at bottom, chose the "MagiskHide" and a list of apps just pop, enable the "mario kart" and "google services" there;
10: Again go to the main screen of magisk, click on "Check SafetyNet" - it should now say Sucess, and have 2 checks and evalType BASIC all inside a blue square.
11: Go to settings of your phone and clear cache + clear data from Mario Kart and Google Services app.
12: Open magisk again and go to 4th ícon bellow at right and then select "install from storage" and find the safetynet fix 1.1.0 zip and flash it;
13: Reboot;
14: Go to your file manager and at root of your internal memory and sd card and check the TWRP folder - if the folder is empty just delete it, if you have backups from TWRP inside, just rename it.
DONE! Now you can play Mario Kart, use McDonalds app and other app's that detect root (just enable them inside magisk to hide it, otherwise it wont work).

And if you have a Samsung device and problems with not working fingerprint there is a Samsung mod inside this thread, working without any issues here.

Thank you.
As of yesterday (Sunday 17t Oct 2021) I now get an error 806-6502 when launching the game.
Checking the error online I find it either means Safetynet failed or app downloaded from 3rd party store (ie aptoid).
I'm using a rooted Oneplus 8 pro, Android 11 (oos 11.0.8.8) and Magsk canary 23001)
The Magik app shows Safetynet pass and I have uninstalled the MK app and reinstalled from Google play but still get the 6502 error. (Obvs the MK app is in the MagiskHide list)
Does anyone have any ideas? Obviously something has changed yesterday as I play this every day

Question Ive rooted my Pixel 7. I updated some apps on my P7. Now some apps are saying they wont work on Rooted devices. How to fix without unrooting?

I used these videos on Youtube to root my Pixel 7 several months ago.
Main reason was so I take advantage of the root version of APH Phone (Call recorder). Now I have a app called Roadie installed and updated and now its saying It will not work on Rooted or Jailbroken devices.
Is there any way to be able to use this with unrooting? Maybe some sort of root checking blocker?
Unrooting is a last resort.
See Post #2 - Unlocking Bootloader / Rooting / Updating | SafetyNet | ADB/Fastboot & Windows USB Drivers:
TL;DR - for the seasoned repeat users
SafetyNet
Magisk_Module_+_Uninstaller << Here are the needed Files!!!!
-Install Magisk.apk App from /sdcard/ and start Magisk App
-go to Settings and Enable "Zygisk" Option
-Setup the Denie-List with Apps you would hide Root (Especially Banking-Apps and other the dont start in Rooted-Device)
-Setup "Hide-Magisk-App" and choose a name 4 the new Shortcut
-Now The App starts again
-goto Modules and choose "Setup from Internal_storage" and Install "MagiskHidePropsConf-v6.1.2.zip" &
"safetynet-fix-v2.4.0.zip" without Restart the Device!!!
-After that reboot the Device
-Now Setup a Terminal_Emulator/Termux/etc.. from PlayStore!!!
-open your Terminal on Android and Type the following command
su
props
choose 1
choose f
choose your Device in next 2 Steps!!
(Samsung - 26 / Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 - 84)
choose y
choose y to reboot Device!!
-After Reboot open Settings and go to Apps
show all and choose
1# Google-PlayStore and Clear Stored-Datas/ Clear Cache
than goto
2# Google-PlayServices and Clear Stored-Datas/ Clear Cache
-Now you can Download "YASNAC SafetyNet Checker" from Playstore and can Check the Status!!!
-Finish!!!!!!
While changing your phone model through MagiskHidePropsConfig (MHPC) is a viable method, it really is a drastic one and should be one of the last resorts -- your phone gets identified by apps as non-rooted, but also Google services, other services, and other apps will wrongly identify your phone as what you "spoof" and they can try and apply incorrect data because it doesn't see the device as a Pixel 7, but what you spoof.
Especially since there are so many other hide root methods out there that one should try first that doesn't require such drastic methods (with more minimal side-effects) and work like 95% percent of the time; regular ol' Zygisk DenyList, Universal SafetyNet Fix (best for our device is Displax Mod 2.1), Shamiko (there are blacklists and whitelists (in this option) that one can employ in addition), Magisk Delta, HideMyApp (which had been suggested previously), and a few others.
I hope you keep this in mind...
