Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

With the Die Hard callibrator, do you have to drain your phone down after it wipes the battery stats?

nope, just plug your phone in, go to the script, let it charge and then just follow the instructions in the script

[The Race To Die]

yes and no, it doesnt technically improve battery life, it improves the accuracy with which the battery level is reported, for example your phone might say it has 5% battery left and turn off when really it has 10-20% left...this is easily shown when you dont calibrate the battery and get huge drops in battery % (like from 20% down to 5%) but afterwards it becomes much more stable

it all depends on how you calibrate the battery, i'd highly suggest zeppelinrox die hard battery script over on xda (check the supercharger thread)

I understand, just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share. Ya I used to use zeppelin's work on my og.

hey prime, do you think you could just whip up a version of your newest kernel with compcache fixed? i love using your kernel now that i have my vsels and slots down but im missing compcache, swap is ok by itself but i like pairing it with compcache or just using compcache by itself (swap+compcache allows for lots of swap if you need it but compcache is faster and helps with overall speed)

Do you use swap without Swapper2? And what is the value of your swappiness. Im thinking about repartitioning my sd card for swap but how much mb should it be. Thanks.

yeah its actually fairly easy to run a swap partition without swapper2, its a simple 1 line script. I usually use 30-40 for my swappiness and a good swap size is about 256 MB (it pretty much never gets full) I'd suggest throwing in an ext partition too just in case you want link2sd, ext 3 or ext 4 and probably 512 MB is good for that, either do it via rom manager or minitool partition wizard on a pc if you want more control over everything

heres the script to use a swap partition, just throw it at the end of a file in /etc/init.d after testing it in terminal emulator first

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

depending on what order you partition your sdcard (for example the first one would be used if you had it set up FAT32/swap/ext3, and the second one would be if you had it FAT32/ext3/swap)

Thanks. But what order is it if I partition it using Rom Manager?

run each one in terminal emulator and see which one doesnt give you an error. After all swap can only be mounted on a swap partition (or a swap file but using a partition is much better)

Okay, will try once SD10 is released :P
And since swap slows down phone a little overtime, how can you free up the swap partition and renew like you can with compcache?

And also, how can you actually manage the swappiness value?

you can free up swap with

swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

and swappiness is really really easy to set its just

sysctl -w vm.swappiness=30

obviously you can use any number and it can be run in terminal or put at the bottom of the last script run in /etc/init.d (if you use zeppelinrox v6 supercharger or kickasskernel tweaks just look for the swappiness line in those files in /etc/init.d

How do you know that swap is using the special partition?
Is there a setting that points to it?
