Launch daemons...
« on: September 05, 2011, 02:13:03 am »
Most of you probably know this by now and have done it but for the benefit of those who haven't here is how to remove launch daemons and speed up your device. Lets begin shall we?

color code
red = launch daemons
blue = effects
green = steps/things needed
What you need
1.ifile (you can find it in cydia)
2.as usual a brain (optional but recommended)

Steps
1.Open ifile
2.navigate to /system/library/launchdaemons
3.nows your chance to back up your file incase you screw this up.
   1.when in /system/library click edit-   >click on launchdaemons->copy->paste->rename as something else ex.launchdaemons1->done

4.now just delete them (i'll tell you which ones you can and can't delete o k?)


safe to delete
com.apple.DumpPanic.plist
com.apple.ReportCrash.(Different Things).plist
com.apple.CrashHouseKeeping.plist
com.apple.aslmanager.plist
com.apple.syslogd.plist
com.apple.powerlog.plist
com.apple.stackshot.server.plist
com.apple.tcpdump.server.plist
com.apple.iqagent.plist
com.apple.mobile.profile_janitor.plist
com.apple.chud.chum.plist
com.apple.chud.pilotfish.plist


conditionals - only delete if you don't need them
com.apple.AddressBook.plist - If removed, Contacts in the Phone application will load slightly slower. Disable this if you don't care about that
com.apple.accessoryd.plist - If removed, disables accessories like FM radio transmitters, iPhone docks, and AV cables. Accessories will be able to charge your device, but that is all they will be able to do. Remove this if you don't use any of these accessories
com.apple.apsd.plist - If removed, Push Notifications will no longer work. Disable this if you don't use Push Notifications
com.apple.dataaccess.dataaccessd.plist - If removed, contacts will no longer sync via Exchange or Google Sync. Disable this if you don't use those services
com.apple.datamigrator.plist - Used to transfer contacts from SIM card to phone. iPod touch users can delete this
com.apple.racoon.plist - Used for Virtual Private Networks. Disable this daemon if you do not use any VPNs
com.apple.MobileInternetSharing.plist - Used for Internet Tethering. Disable this if you have an iPod touch or if you aren't interested in tethering
com.apple.aggregated.plist - It is believed that this performs some function related to Audio-In. If you have an iPod touch and do not intend to use Audio-In, disable this. iPhone users should leave this alone
com.apple.AOSNotification.plist - This daemon deals with MobileMe syncing. If you do not use the MobileMe service, you can disable this
com.apple.AdminLite.plist - This daemon tries to return control of your device to you if it thinks that you are waiting for a lengthly process to respond. It does this by force-quitting the process, so if you're tired of your apps crashing and you would rather wait a few seconds for them to finish what they're doing, disable this daemon

leave alone:
these are crucial to device but if you follow tut you should be fine.

com.apple.mobile.Lockdown.plist - Deals with SIM authorization and other important things
com.apple.fairplayd.plist - This checks the DRM on your legitimately-acquired music and apps
com.apple.installd.plist - Deals with app installation
com.apple.BTServer.plist - If this daemon is disabled, your device will become extremely slow and unresponsive
com.apple.configd+pm.plist - Deals with system configuration
com.apple.configd-pm.plist - Also deals with system configuration.
com.apple.gmmd.plist - A debugging service for your device
com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist - DNS. Disable this, and your Internet is completely gone
com.apple.CommCenter.plist - Deals with making/receiving calls, etc. iPod touch users should still leave this alone
com.apple.locationd.plist - Deals with GPS and location.
com.apple.mediaserverd.plist - Plays your music and videos
com.apple.graphicsservices.sample.plist - Displays album artwork
com.apple.usbptpd.plist - Allows your device to connect to your computer and charge
com.bigboss.sbsettingsd.plist - Related to SBSettings. I would suggest leaving it alone.
com.imalc.insomnia.plist - Used to keep Insomnia running through resprings and reboots. If you don't want it to do that, disable this.
com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist - It's believed that this daemon deals with the AutoInstall trick for installing .deb files. If you don't know what that is and you don't use it, you can disable this daemon
org.nodomain.scrobbled.plist - The Scrobbler daemon. Disable this if you don't want your music scrobbled anymore.

Now reboot and enjoy the extra speed

i hope this helps, and if you have any questions just ask :D :D

Thanks! I tried to make it that way because I know it wouldn't be good if people didn't fully understand and deleted the wrong ones.
