Default V6 Supercharger

Who is using this ? How easy did it install ? Do you like it ? How much better is your phone ? What does it do ?

Im using it, it is easy to install, but you need script manager from market then you chose a option and it will go with it.
how much better is subjective but it seems snappier and just more yahoo.

Ok got it, one thing on a tut I found it says its working if "current minfrees = 6, 8, 26, 28, 30, 32 mb". My prior minfrees equals that, my current minfrees = 6,8,16,20,22,24 mb. Is it ok ? It seemed easy enough to install. any idea's ?

If your current minfrees do not equal prior then you are using script manager to run the 99supercharger.sh at each boot...

which option did you select when installing it...

so far i have found that 3 works better than 6 in my opinion...

I followed the same... It is missing a step tho... No matter what setting you use I have to navigate to the /data/supercharger.she and enable at boot.... If not when you reboot your phone will revert back to the default minfrees

It installed really easy. Had some trouble getting it to stick when rebooting. I tried going in /system/etc/init.d/99supercharger from script manager and clicking "run as root" and "run at boot" like zepplin says but it still didnt stick... I unsupercharged the script and then ran it again but before I hit 20 to reboot I hit 21 to exit and opened scriptmanager again, went to /system/etc/init.d/99supercharger and ran at boot and as root, then rebooted the phone. Then..... !!!POOF!!! Minfrees were the same ever since..

I did find that my prevail is much snappier on 3 aggressive as well.
Just thought id post in case any of my fellow prevailers had this problem too. Hope this helps.

init.d scripts will run at boot if you rename and put a capital S in front of them

S99supercharger

just a bit cleaner than making script manager do the job

honestly I havent noticed much diference on any settings

EDIT: Wasn't familiar of all the settings that were involved with this. now that i've been using it a while and know what settings are stronger, I do notice a difference in responce, less lag, and multi tasking.

best settings for me are:

V6
local.prop & init.rc used/enabled
512 HP, balenced + Bullet-Proof Launcher

KAK Tweaks
enabled I/O scheduler

3G
option 4 "fastest" settings
