I found this topic interesting : (You need to be ROOT and use a root file manager like Root Explorer )

Find build.prop file in \system directory. Edit it and find for

dalvik.vm.heapsize = **

Add or edit this so final edit to look like this:

• dalvik.vm.heapstartsize = 5m
  
• dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit = 24m
  
• dalvik.vm.heapsize = 32m

I just use supercharger and it takes care of the business:   http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=991276

Exactly. As Hpez says this is somekind of supercharger manual method. For what I seem to understand from chinese forum this modification takes care of background processes somehow. Sorry, for not explain it clearly...maybe an expert developer of Modaco can explain it much better.

[Davidoff59]

its currently set to 5, 36, 64.

[timfimjim]

Yeah I noticed vm heapsize is 64m by default, I thought 48m was optimum for the amount of ram we have? Or is that debatable?

Well I really don't have no idea but if that chinese guy have posted a topic remarking those valors then I guess somekind of improvement in performance should be noticed.

Should I be worried that I have two dalvik.vm.heapsize entries and no dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit when I use Rom Toolbox to edit build.prop? I've also opened it in ES File Esplorer and dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit is commented out. There's also another line zhangqijia delete dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=36 temporarily. This is also commented out.

That supercharger thread is too busy for it's own good, information overload :-)  I got it installed though and it's certainly feels like it's made an improvement to MIUI in terms of responsiveness.

5,36,24,32 is what mine is now set to Adyx in Rom toolbox

Yeah I have the others set, I'm just wondering why dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit is commented out (and thus not appearing in ROm Toolbox). I'll try un-commenting it and see what happens.

Edit: Two reboots later and everything seems to be working fine. heapgrowthlimit is set to 24 and showing in Rom Toolbox. Although ES wouldn't save my build.prop for some reason so I had to use the browser in Rom Toolbox with it's tiny, tiny font.

?

where's that it Rom Toolbox... or is this n/a for GB?

[timfimjim]

Search Google play. I'm pretty certain it's available for gingerbread

[Colossae3.23]

yeah, sorry, I wasn't very clear there. I have RomToolbox pro, but didn't know where to find those settings. Found the buildprop tweak feature, in that app,  but couldn't find adyx, nor all of the davilk settings mention in the op.

So, wondered if its because I'm on GB? Although I'm using AtomicMod, and I know that tillaz has it tweaked (so why worry) .

I guess really I'm just trying to go to school here.

If you have two entries for something in the build.prop I believe the last one is used.

[Davidoff59]

That's what I did Dazzozo as I think the first entry is deleted after boot or something similar.

Its on every rom Bill.

Build prop tweaks is where you will find it. This is the quickest way but this thread is for ics so as there are a few entries to edit, it requires going into build prop. There is a shortcut for that in rom toolbox or you can navigate to it manually.

Just to be clear too, my username is Adyx00, there's no adyx in Rom Toolbox.
