can you test video frame with ur script ? any change public the script ?

Re: Finally got a real improvement on battery life
 

Yes sure. It is open source after all :)
I somehow get a good transition of UI after a few hack.
If you want my transition and the script then you'd get the same experience :)
I'll have to test my script before hand it over to you. Just PM me and I'll send it to you :)

nice. will this be easy to install?

Re: Finally got a real improvement on battery life
 

I changed the swappiness to 30 and page-cluster to 1. From what I can tell, I no longer get the slowdowns in freezes in micob that I used to have. The conversations app seems to start up faster too.

Re: Finally got a real improvement on battery life
 

you can find swappines and page cluster in the rcS file in;
/etc/init.d/rcS

and search for swappines and Page-cluster.. they are next together..

but be carefull dont brick ur phone ;)

Re: Finally got a real improvement on battery life
 

ok, im trying it too..
things ive did..
a small work-around;

1.
Install SSH server

2.
copy rcS file by typing in terminal; cp /etc/init.d/rcS /home/user/MyDocs/

3.
open the file using SSH with 4 example notepad++ (or whatever you want:D , dont use notepad)

4.
search by using ctrl+F the keyword; swappiness and change value 100 in 30.. and same thing for 'page-cluster' and change the value from 4 to 1

5.
save the rcS file and copy it back to MyDocs using SSH

6.
copy the rcS file back by typing "cp /home/user/MyDocs/rcS /etc/init.d/rcS" in terminal

7.
Check if the file have the exec permissions by typing;
ls -al /etc/init.d/rcS
will show rwxr-xr-x
(look at the 3 x)

8.
If so, ur done reboot ur phone..

p.s. allways be root at terminal..and do it at own risk ;)

You can check the values by typing;
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
or
cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster

Re: Finally got a real improvement on battery life
 

Good info guys, I'm gonna try this out when I get home... Anything to increase battery life even though I carry an extra battery with me everyday. I get jealous when one of my co-workers who has a Nexus One shows off the battery life of his modded ROM when after almost 8hrs he's @80%+. All I can do is shake my head in disbelief :rolleyes: :eek:

Leafpad works well also....
