So I was hanging out in IRC yesterday talking to @k0nane and he casually suggests that I try something called V6 Supercharger. I google it, download it and find that Basix runs a whoooooole lot faster with it.
I cant get busybox to install properly. I get a message saying: failed to copy over busybox to /system/xbin. I'm super curious to see how the supercharger works for me. Any sorta help would be awesome.

Make sure that you have system mounted r/w before you try to install....
(or at least so I'm told; not sure why I didn't need to do this step myself)
After installing it open it and click the menu button on your phone and select settings, scroll all the way down and select Root Explorer and Mount File System. Once you do that go back to the files and find the following path (In your phone, not on the SD card) \system\ once you are there long press on top of the xbin folder and select properties. Click change and make sure that you have on the user level read write and execute write selected.
Hope this helps.

That did the trick.
Here's what I got upon reboot:
Pretty sure this matches the tutorial.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll reply back after playing with this.
I would caution you that if you did change the permissions in order to install this other BusyBox that you should change them back afterwards. It's probably not a good idea to leave it wide open like that...
You don't run it again unless you want to change it. Don't put the widget on your home screen. After making changes reboot. Don't leave it running in background, instead select menu option to exit (16 to reboot, 17 to exit).
Does anyone ever read anything?

We don't have the RAM to make option 9 make much sense. At least that's my best guess. Prove me wrong...
I am experimenting with option 7, however...

Not sure how Im supposed to prove you wrong?? Its an option that I chose and I can clearly see that the speed has increased. Now I'm not really familiar with how everything works within the script but maybe you can give option 9 a try and see if it does anything. Maybe I'm just seeing things...
Edit:
Other then speed I've noticed tht I can have a lot of things running and my RAM doesn't really move much like it use to, its even lower then b4 when everything isnt running.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that the way you read it. If you say that it works better with option 9 I absolutely believe you. I wrongheadedly thought it couldn't because of how little RAM we have on these things, but I'll certainly and gladly accept your empirical subjective assessment!
Think I'll give option 9 a try myself...
FYI, I totally do not understand why this thing does what it does. Nice voodoo, though!
So option 9 seems to make it want to keep as much free RAM as possible, which doesn't really allow you to multi-task very well at all - the OS keeps killing just about everything but the app that you are presently running. It's really designed for a phone that has more RAM...
I guess it's ok for some people, but if you have background services running you might not like it - I certainly didn't.
I'm currently testing option 7 and that seems pretty reasonable, though it doesn't feel very different from option 6. I'm probably gonna switch back or follow-up with some reason for sticking with 7...

So far today I havent had any issues with option 9 automatically shutting dwn my running apps (yet) but I noticed that if I hit clear memory (level 2) on the stock task killer it closes damn near everything. But I need to learn tht by having this installed I dnt have to close or clear anything anymore or I'm defeating the purpose of why I installed it in the first place lol! Its a Hard habit to break but I'll get it I'm gnna try a few more options and I'll post what I find. Also, thanks for posting updates on what your finding and hopefully more get involved in testing this out.

can you tell me what busybox you installed it from?
i tried to install it from that link thats in that post but it says fail many times ,but i will try until i install it
Its failing because you need to mount r/w access. Download busybox installer then read post #8 in this very thread and do as it says then open the busybox installer app and try it.

Reason: ok found it thnxs
I can't install it neither.
I keep getting "Failed to downloadbusy box 1.18.2"
Is the site down or something?
It can't be permissions cause it doesn't even initiate a download at all. And not to mention I am using both SuperManager and EsExplorer to give EVERYTHING r/w access. (User, group and others! )
Someone else getting this?

Srry it didnt wrk for you guys, it was probably just a coincidence :'( I was having the same issue and I just gave my file manager r/w access and it went thru and it wrkd for others (or so we thought) but it sounds like it was something else that was the issue and it was just timing tht made it seem like it wrkd.
EDIT:
I just seen a post by Zeppelinrox today over on XDA that said its the Busybox Installer app by (JRUMMY16) that's the cause for all the fails. All he said was "jrummy16 is being a pita right now"

Reason: Updated Info
The Busybox in Basix is actually compatible with the script - it seems just a few symlinks are missing.

I can never get the settings to stick on reboot.
Goes back to the previous memfrees.
Yes, I also tried having the script it makes in system/etc/init.d run at boot as root.
Well... I been using this option ever since this been on the forum. Its cool and speedy... my phone feels brand new. BUT today at work while my phone was on the charger, it lit up and i see that my phone did a media scan. And I also saw that all my widgets were blank... Keep in my mind i havent turned my phone off in about 2 and a half days so Im not sure if that has anything to do with it. So all I did was a reboot, loaded up supercharger and option 9 again and another reboot... now im going to see if that happens again.

Anyone running any other options?
I went back and downloaded the newest version out which is Update9_beta6.2.2 and it actually suggests which option you should use for your phone, its pretty cool. If you plan on updating you should knw that the #order has changed for the options to reboot and exit the script its no longer #16/17 I think they are now #25/26. It suggested that I use his options for 512HP which has 3 different settings and they are; Aggressive, Gaming, Multitasking. He says that the script only gives a suggestion and you can use any settings you like and there's all types ; ). Fyi, you can find the updated file by clicking the 1st link of this thread, then ull see "most recent files are here" click that link then scroll all the way dwn until you see "Attached Files" it will be the one at the bottom, its zipped so after you download it just extract all then place the file on the root of your SD and run it like b4.

Umm. Try rebooting without the script as well. I've not heard the script being able to remove root...
It's not in the source code. You can read it. It does not modify su in anyway ...
