There isn't much in here that would do what Gummy already does, only unthrottle.

Unthrottle works on any device and any rom :)

Lol its the beta. Involves manually moving all the files to the correct location as I have a script to do it. But won't post it till I have time to work on it again.

Will there eventually be a zip to just flash or is the only way to do it? I think I have someone helping me later..I haven't gotten into scripts yet but would love to! I just need unthrottle and faster 3g if possible

Thanks

Thanks clothed...I did all that and it seemed to go well...but after I finished I did a speed test and I got 100kbps instead of 1mbps data speed. wasnt sure if PB had anything to do with it. Once I went back to stock my data was at 1.2 mbps 30 sec. later...Hmmmmm

And where should I extract zip to?? I saw to SD extracted file..but I don't have one. I have SDcard-ext and sd-ext??? I know some say use root explorer but I don't want to buy right now if I don't have to.

Also did you see the stuff I was getting while running PB script?? Unthrottle file not found etc...???
That's what Bob was getting at,lol. I don't run pb anymore, phone seems better without it, it worked great before, but now the Rom does all the work without a mod. :)

Seconded. Back on 1.12.9 PB and supercharger really seemed to make a difference. When I installed the most recent version (3.23) it ran far more quickly than before without even adding any mods on.

The only additional change I made was to switch to the boostedASSshenaniganBIGMAC governor... and I only did that b/c all the cool kids were doing it.

Basically, IMO, it's unlikely you'll be able to improve on Wizard's builds at this point. After all, the goal of that ROM is to stabilize and optimize it.

At least after hdmi and 720p are finished ;-)

You should have sdcard/extracted. You can make a folder. Can you gtalk me? This would be easier and faster

DH...I do appreciate the help. Remember never used anything script before. So as awesome as your op instructions were...for someone who has never seen dos its a little intimidating. I have decided not to PB for now. Thanks
I'm currently running Dragonzkiller's version of Cyanogen Mod 7 on my Droid X2.

It has been a few months since I've used it, but I applied the Powerboost 2.2 'Unthrottle' mod today.

When I ran the script, the value for the "throttle_reset_day" was the only one set to 0.

I haven't used the device enough to notice any differences, but I'm just curious to know why the other throttle values were no longer changed. Did Verizon make any changes? I haven't updated my phone at all. I went into the following folder and checked the settings.db file on my SQLite Manager and could not even find any of the following items that PB used to change:

Folder - '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db'.

throttle_polling_sec
throttle_threshold_bytes
throttle_value_kbitsps
throttle_notification_type
throttle_reset_day

If anyone know of anything, thanks in advance. I still hope you have time to do PB 2.5. All the hype has died down and I heard you were focusing on another ROM, but I really appreciated the unthrottle mod in the past. Let's hope it still works.
