Should I download the new gingerbread update? And will it mess my phone up?

download p3droid's pre rooted gingerbread and flash that a lot better

Ok buddy... try this...

Add this to the bottom of /system/build.prop

ENFORCE_PROCESS_LIMIT=false
MAX_SERVICE_INACTIVITY=
MIN_HIDDEN_APPS=
MAX_HIDDEN_APPS=
CONTENT_APP_IDLE_OFFSET=
EMPTY_APP_IDLE_OFFSET=
MAX_ACTIVITIES=
ACTIVITY_INACTIVE_RESET_TIME=

Initally I was trying to get 512mb devices to multitask better by not killing hidden apps after 30 minutes and removing the 15 hidden app limit.

See, if you try and run a 16th hidden app, one gets killed even if you have 200 mb free.

And, after 30 minutes of inactivity, a hidden app get killed even if there is 200mb free...

Stupid, eh?

So I thought that I'd try putting that stuff in build.prop and it didn't work as expected but it apparently makes the phone even more snappier and responsive, scrolls better, etc...

Not just one person... everybody who tries it seems to love it...

So... give it a go... maybe do a benchmark or 2 such as linpack and smartbench 2011

Type in all of that manually? No edits just straight typing?

Is there anyway to give priority to some apps and the rest die after like 30 min of inactivity?

Copy and paste is easier... no typos either

I think apps die at 30 minutes anway... That's the challenge... prioritizing certain apps...

If the app is opera you can try:

echo "-17" > /proc/`pgrep opera`/oom_adj
renice -20 `pgrep opera`

 

[xgrinder911]

Alright what? I might be good at fixing my phone but this is just gibberish to me lol
So I could replace the word opera with another app and it would prioritize it?

[zeppelinrox]

yep that's right!

 

[xgrinder911]

And I jus add this to build prop?
How does it prioritize it exactly? Like what is it greater and less than? Will it be second to the launcher? That would be useful
Im going to try it on the browser today

[xgrinder911]

Works flawlessly though! My browser has stayed open all day long until I opened maps but thats heavy so expected but im liking this! Set it for texting app and music as well no problems

[zeppelinrox]

Awesome!

Did you try the build.prop entries in post 33?

 

[xgrinder911]

Yes I did and from what I can tell the phone is a lot smoother, tried linpack and noticed a 10 point increase
*thumbs up*

wow... do you find it more responsive too?

 

[xgrinder911]

Yes it was noticeably smoother at first, but it might have long term issues

Ok.. you have 3g turbocharger installed (build.prop edits) right?

Do some speedtests with the speedtest.net app... say 5 or 7...

change the build.prop tweak to be like this....

reboot, then do 5 or 7 tests
