New App: Optimus Root Memory Optimizer

Market Description:

Optimus is a Memory Optimizer for ROOT users only.


Optimus improves system performance and battery life by adjusting Android's internal memory settings. 


How does it work?
Android automatically kills background processes when system memory falls below a certain threshold. Optimus changes those memory settings, causing Android to free up memory more aggresively, thereby increasing system performance and battery life.


Optimus has three different settings: Moderate, Balanced and Extreme.


Optimus is a SAFER alternative to traditional Task Killers, which are known to cause damage to the Android operating system.

BrainyBeats Help Documentation and Description of the Tones...

BrainyBeats uses binaural tones to help induce relaxation, creativity and other desirable mental states through brainwave synchronization.


It is HIGHLY recommended that you use Stereo Headphones and listen for approximately 30 minutes to achieve maximum effectiveness.

Wikipedia Definition of Binaural Tones:


Binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain for specific physical stimuli. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and earned greater public awareness in the late 20th century based on claims that binaural beats could help induce relaxation, creativity and other desirable mental states.


When the perceived beat frequency corresponds to the delta, theta, alpha, beta, or gamma range of brainwave frequencies, the brainwaves entrain to or move towards the beat frequency.


Description of the BrainyBeats' Binaural Tones:

(or, more specifically, the Brainwave Frequencies that they cause)

ALPHA (7–13 Hz) - Causes improved creative problem solving, stress reduction and introspection.
BETA (13–39 Hz) - Causes an increase in mental ability, focus, alertness, and IQ.

DELTA (< 4 Hz) - Causes a state of deep dreamless sleep.

GAMMA (> 40 Hz) - Causes an increase in advanced problem solving abilities, perception and higher reasoning.

THETA (4–7 Hz) - Causes a state between wakefulness and sleep, lucid dreaming and creative mental imagery.

Known Roms/Devices that Work/Don't with AndGuard

This List is a Work in Progress.... Please leave feedback so we can make this list more complete.

Known Working
-G1/HTC Dream (Running CyanogenMod6)
-MT3G (Running CyanogenMod6)
-Motorola Cliq (AdlxMod and j_r0dd Roms)
-Sony Xperia X10 (Rooted, w/ busybox)
-Should Run on almost any *Stable* CM6 Rom

***Should work on ALL phones with Busybox installed/working and a /system partition that can be mounted as Read/Write***

To test if AndGuard will work on your phone:

In Terminal Emulator:
Type "su" and hit enter.
Type "busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" and hit enter.
If no errors are displayed, AndGuard SHOULD work on your device...

Unless it is...

Known Not Working 
-MT3G Slide (Any ROM) AndGuard causes the device to reboot when it tries to remount /system as read-only.

Known Issues
-Sony Xperia X10 *Works* but may prevent Timescape UI from updating at Level 3 Protection

AndGuard Pro (w/ Iptables) is Now Available on the Market!

AndGuard Pro is essentially the same as regular AndGuard, but with additional support for IP address blocking via Iptables.

To Check if your Android device has Iptables, do the following:

At the Terminal Emulator, type "su" and then "iptables -L"

If Iptables is installed, this command will display the current rules.... If it is not, you will get an error and AndGuard Pro's Iptables functionality will not work.

AndGuard: Troubleshooting Tips

If AndGuard said that you did not have SU permissions and you believe this to be incorrect:

1) Enter Terminal Emulator and type "su" (This will check to see if you have SU Permissions, If it fails then your device is most likely NOT rooted) If that works...

2) Still in Terminal Emulator (with SU permissions, indicated by the # instead of the $) type "busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" (This will use busybox to remount your /system as Readable/Writeable... if this does not work, than you don't have access to write to the necessary filesystem or you don't have busybox and AndGuard will not work) If that works (indicated by an error message NOT being given) then...

3) Type "df" and look for /system in the output.... Does /system have 0K available? (This would indicate that /system is full, and therefore, the hosts blocklist cannot be written to it) If /system is NOT full...please let me know what model phone you have and what Rom you are running so that furthur investigation can be made.

Please email me back with any errors... and don't forget to include your Device Model and Rom!

If steps 1-3 work without error, then it is highly likely that the newest version of AndGuard (1.3.5 or later) has fixed your issue.

I will be compiling a list of Phones and Roms that AndGuard does and currently does not work on.... I will place this list on my blog in the upcoming days to avoid furthur unncessary dissatisfaction.

AndGuard Version 1.3.5 Released!

AndGuard should now work on ALL rooted phones that have busybox installed!

Changelog:

1.3.4
Major Bugfix!
- Fixed issues involving incorrect mount points and/or file system. (These issues were causing the app to incorrectly think that some phones were not rooted)


-Added AdMob blocking to all levels of protection. (This should help block more in-app ads)
