Guest omegavesko Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Not my app. Original source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032 Install the APK, then open the app and enable it. Don't forget to grant the app superuser permissions. It may be just a placebo effect, but my phone does seem a little bit faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest utternoob Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nice find. I'll try it. How does it do what it does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omar korom Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Great app , , have I to set the " Enable RNGD entropy seeder " to yes ? and what we do with rngd.zip ? and rng-tools_android.patch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest utternoob Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Leave those. Set that option to yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wizard.no.84 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I must say, I feel the difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It definitely makes a difference. I'm pretty sure its not just placebo. I tested it on CFX3 and there seems to be a tangible speed improvement. The reason for it and the patch makes genuine sense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest utternoob Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Is it possible to integrate it into further builds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJPRMF Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I open the app and just appears two options. I enable, but after exit and enter again in the app, the option is disable again... Is that fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Is it possible to integrate it into further builds? The developer says you're allowed to so why not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think I'm going to have to. The speed difference I can feel is enough to convince me to include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest utternoob Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I've noticed it on C3C0 CM10 ROM. Seems so much faster than stock, even in app draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Very noticeable difference in PAC. Recent populate instantly, launcher is smoother and apps launch quicker. Well done to the dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H3ROS Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Theres a few methods to acheive what should be the same result (entropy over 1300). For example heres an init.d script: #!/system/bin/sh # Entropy tweak PSIZE=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize) PSIZE=$((PSIZE/3)) echo $PSIZE > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold; It should save battery compared to the application as it doesn't wake the phone at all and has no service running. -EDIT- You can also symlink: #!/system/bin/sh # Entropy tweak rm /dev/random; ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random; Or just recreate it as urandom: #!/system/bin/sh # Entropy tweak rm /dev/random; mknod /dev/random c 1 9; The "issue" was closed here: http://code.google.c...detail?id=42265 Edited January 4, 2013 by H3ROS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anantk Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think I'm going to have to. The speed difference I can feel is enough to convince me to include it. Will it not reduce battery life due to hight CPU usage?.

Guest Simon O Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 The app 'works' because it uses a daemon process that "keeps the device's I/O in constant use (which in turn, depending on device, will make the CPU stick to higher clock frequencies to keep up and/or ramp up the IO scheduler)." - quote from a CyanogenMod developer Remove the app and use the fix manually as above. Then see if you have an improvement or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest omegavesko Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Makes sense I suppose, but saying it's like using the performance governor is just as wrong. It doesn't lock it on the maximum frequency like the governor does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
