what are you talking about? you don't have to sign up to download.. sheesh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
Just click on the + Download button towards the top of the screen. Nowhere does it ask you to register.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Sounds like you just want to take but no give!

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Just a shot in the dark, is your bootloader unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Good idea but yes it is unlocked. In fact, I relocked it and unlocked it again to be sure that wasn't the problem. It's odd that Imo's cpu settings will stick but not these. I don't get it at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This is insane.

You would have to think it is because its showing the correct kernel version when he checked (I think).

If you knew how to use the Internet you would have not have to sign up to any website to download my work.

Your welcome but not welcome!

SMH.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Have any of you guys with the OC issue tried a different app such as Voltage Control? And have you tried to Odin back to factory stock and built back up to CleanRom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Did you try another cpu control app instead of SetCPU? also verify that you still have root and "CPU control app" does have admin privileged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
The thread kinda got flooded by silliness so I just wanted to make sure that you saw that some fixing in /system/bin/thermald is needed in order to prevent the thermal sensor from tripping and maxing out the cpu.

Anyway, thanks for everything including the kick ass rom and kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
THe problem they are talking about is the issue of the not being to max it out. They are haing the exact opposite problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I realize that. This is a separate issue that effects all custom kernels that support over clocking. The fix to this distinct issue has to be baked into the rom.

I was just trying to give you a heads up. Sorry for explaining so poorly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Oh..... ok got ya!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Yes, I tried 3 different cpu control apps and all 3 had root access. SetCPU works fine to overclock Imo's kernel so I am fairly certain the problem is not the cpu control apps. There is just something weird going on with my installation of the Clean rom and Clean kernel combo. It's really not a big deal but I just wanted to play with the overclocking for a bit. I just benchmarked my best ever on Clean Kernel at stock speeds with Antutu. I got 6832. The first time I tried benchmarking Clean Kernel I was getting lower scores. There must have been something interrupting the benchmark. Today the scores are great.

Nice work Scott.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Sorry man, I am out of ideas at this point. It seems like you are doing everything correct I just dsont knwo why your apps are not seeing the speed.

I know its being installed correctly because it says, CleanKERNEL-v1.0 correct? So that means the kernel is there, just for some reason its not being seen.

I know this sounds crazy... But could the device be shipped with two differnt chips? I know its unlikely but I wonder if there is a slight variation in CPU's and the kernel I built only see sthe CPU I built it for?

I know that manufactures will ship differnt LCD screens from time to time but I wonder if they ever vary, ever so slightly, the CPU?

Does that even make sense? Can that even happen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
No problem. I appreciate all the help. I had a similar issue trying to get a custom boot animation to take on my Fascinate. It just suddenly started working days after I had given up on it. Maybe the kernel will do the same. I would be perfectly content running this setup until Jellybean lands officially for the S3. Hopefully you are planning some CleanJelly.

BTW, I am now using the crt off animation and it works great. No flicker. My GPS is fine also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You may be fine with it but its driving me to the point of insanity! Its working for all except two people? THis makes zero sense.

Good to hear abou tthe GPS / Flicker. I dont have the issues either. Its, oncea gain, only relative to just a few people out of hundreds and hundreds. Strange, heh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so does this sound right? i used my navigation for the drive from my parents house back to my apartment. it took about 2hrs and 15 min, and i had the phone plugged into usb slot in my car the whole time. i also had it playing music through bluetooth sync with my car. so basically for 2.25hrs, the screen was on, gps was on, and it was streaming music (and well also the wifi was on for like an hour before i remembered to turn it off). by the end of the trip, my phone had lost almost 20% battery. im guessing maybe usb charging would not have provided as much power as an actual car charger, so maybe thats why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
how much less voltage are we talking about? =)

also, i'm on your CleanRom 2.0 w/ the service pack patch, yet my phone info says my base is still VRLF2..shouldn't it have been updated to VRALG1 when i clean installed your rom? is it safe for me to flash this kernel if i am indeed still on VRLF2?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I would think you are correct. USB Charging is inherently slower.

My ROM wont touch your baseband. Your looking at Radio.

It should be safe to flash as others have flashed it on F2 ROMS but i have not so I can go by what others say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stephangardner:
I was wanting to know if the voltages were able to be modified by the end user. Ive used setcpu for a while on other phones. But I don't get a voltages tab with this phone. Even instructions on how to do it through the system files would work. I've had the kernel for a couple days and haven't noticed any battery savings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoyoche:
I did with no problems, then later I odined the VRALG1 radio. Again with no ill effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You would need to recompile the kernel if you wanted to mod the settings. Its not hard to do, its actually very easy. Let me know if you are interested in trying. I have the source in my OP.

EDIT: And if you are willing to test I can recompile at some slightly lower voltages? Let me know...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssojyeti2:
I flashed this kernel on my friend's SGS3 (that is rooted and bootloader unlocked) and now it won't turn on. It just says, "software unauthorized by Verizon has been installed on this device, please power off and take your device to the nearest Verizon store to get fixed". Is there a way to get to recovery mode to get past this? The computer doesn't recognize the device...

Edit: It seems flashing a rom and kernel without first unlocking the bootloader does this. I guess I didn't unlock correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, must have unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so i've been posting alot in this topic recently, but want to see if i can get the most out of my phone :)

I attached my battery stats below. used about 90% of the battery in 10 hours. was on 3g most of the day, screen time was 1hr 50 min, was also on a call for over an hour. i had set the max in setcpu at 1728 (min 192). that still seems pretty good, especially considering i think it doubled the battery time i had before rooting. if i set my max even lower, and create a profile in setcpu for when the screen is off, making the max really low, that should help the battery last even longer right? i know scott earlier you suggested not to make any profiles, but any reason not to have one for screen off time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
My limited understanding of kernels and ROMs are this...

When the screen is off it goes into a lower power state. Ifyou use an app like SetCPU and you view the CPU usage you will see that there is an additional state below the lowest that says "standby" or something similiar. I dont think you can lower the standby time by changing any configs in Set CPU.

I can be wrong about this. Stand by time is not something I am an expert one sof i you were to try it let us know the results but I think the impact woudl be minimal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bnmohler:
Not bad. These are my results of having things settled for the past few days running the 1.89 to 192 settings for CPU.

This was a typical day of use for me. I don’t play games or watch a ton of youtube. I did a couple hours of music (spotify,pandora,google music), a few web searches and brief reading. No phone calls during this period but a dozen texts or so and some emails. I wasn’t trying to save or burn up the battery I just used it as I normally would and this is the life I got for this day. WiFi was never used during this time

with 20% left who knows how much longer i would make it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
Damn man that's crazy. If I could have my phone last half that time I'd be content
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thats pretty good for normal load.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Heat

Has anyone noticed heat buildup when doing stress test? Of course, but is it any worse than @stock clock. I think someone mentioned earlier, but I am concerned overclocking could take out the heat sink prematurely and ruin phone. Hopefully the undervoltage will mitigate the increased clock.. Awesome kernel though. The synergy rom/kernel made my phone heat WAY up. With CleanRom and Cleankernel the temps have stayed "normal" (not hot to the touch)

Current settings:

low end = 192

High end = 1674

Will report back tomorrow after I charge to 100% and use all day. Battery is already much better than stock build. I get home with at least 20% more battery after 10 hour day. Is this because rooted phone has less bloatware apps?? Dunno, but it's better. Just installed kernel today so hopefully will have even better battery life.

Props on kernel / rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Anytime you stress test anything it means you are pushing the device to its limits. You are going to generate heat doing this. What apps are you using to test?

When I tested the kernel and did the screenshots in the OP it didint get any warmer than normal.

As far as the battery I think both factors come into play.

Having a lot less bloat always helps :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisiwyg:
Been following the kernel/heat/accelerated battery usage. Today, 6hr 25 minutes off battery from full charge down to 14%. Android system @ 55%. Running CleanROM 2 with SP1, CleanKernel 1.0.

I'll flash back to stock kernel to see if that changes anything. Would love to get to the bottom of all of this. Great ROM/Kernel combo if it could get worked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
Sounds kind of like the gsiff_daemon issue, if you Google that, I can find an existing xda topic about it. Suggestion for now is to rename the gsiff_daemon file, as it seems to cause android system to consume around 50% of the battery, and renaming it doesn't seem to cause any noticeable issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Wow, never heard of this. I will see what I can come up with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
After a couple solid days on CleanRom 2 and Clean Kernel I can make a comment on battery life. It has been awesome on my phone. I have had two days of fairly light use but I have a half dozen or so widgets running and check mail all day long. Right now I am at almost 13 hours off of the charger and I have 85% battery remaining. This is on 3g too, not WIFI. Yesterday was nearly identical. My 4g signal is weak so I have LTE turned off. This alone easily saves me 5% in a 10 hour day while I am at work and my phone is mostly in standby. For some reason, if 4g is weak, 3g seems much more reliable even if it is also weak. The CleanRom/CleanKernel is definitely equal or better than stock for battery life.

BTW... I am at stock CPU speeds too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisiwyg:
OK, renamed instead of reflashed...simpler. will see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Damn, that's pretty fantastic! Too bad I always use my phone. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baypah:
should this kernel be flashed in oden??? and how do you "make clean"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You flash it in recovery. You make clean if you are building the source. I forgot to clean up the source before I uploaded it. I don't think you need to worry about that unless you get into kernel development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Great battery life. Been on kernel for about 14 hours ( all day) light use. WiFi and data off most of the day until 11 hours in and WiFi has been on since. Definitive improvement over stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
3hr screen on time and a 5 minute charge thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Not too shabby!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so was on wifi at home all day today, but still used it a fair amount today, almost 3 hours of screen time, 40 minutes in calls. although im a little confused, theres two points where my battery goes up by a small amount....scott, does your kernel create energy?!?

but yeah i felt like my usage was comparable to when i use it at work, but my battery drains alot faster (still slower then stock of course). only major difference is that at work im using 3g. looking at the stats in the image though, it looks like my mobile network signal here isnt excellent, theres only one very minor instance of having green service...and plus verizon doesnt even have 4g coverage in this area yet, even though im like 15 minutes away from hartford where there is 4g...so what im wondering is, could i also have weak 3g in this area too, which causes it to drain more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
So your saying your battery drains faster at work or home? Im confused. Please clarify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
Oh sorry I could see the confusion. I it drains faster at work, where I'm using 3g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Is it normal for Android System to be using this much battery?

Screen time is 17 minutes. Drained to 89% in 1 hour and 10 minutes..

Running CleanROM 2.0 (full data, cache, and dalvik cache wipe) with CleanKERNEL 1.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisiwyg:
Kind of extreme... I had similar use and received recommendation to rename a file that has been indicated as a culprit. Android system was 55%. Did so, system working well over last several days.

Check back a page or two to see details on which file. Sitting on a plane in Chi atm. Not easy to look up ref.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Mine also drains more at work. Poor signal inside. Drain rate correlates to time without signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
That might explain it... When checking my network coverage, I never get 5 bars here, so my 3g is probably not very strong. Damn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Screen on time is what you should be looking at. So for 80%, he only used the phone for 2hrs, the rest is standby. I would try to see how many hours you can use your phone out of a full charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pedroflovera:
Keep the good work!...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
It's a percentage for an hour... so yeah that's right. Give it 8 hours or more and check again. For instance... think about taking an hour out of the day and seeing what household items took the most power. One light might get a high percentage which seems weird, but over the whole day the percentage would be much less
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Day 2 on kernel. Battery still showing good results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] McDastardly:
Doing really good with only an hour of screen on time and WiFi on all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
oh and no wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Yup, that was the culprit. It was the same gsiff_daemon file issue you were talking about. I did a google search on it, and came up with several threads on XDA of people with the same issue on the Galaxy S3. According to many users, it seems to happen after you "hot boot" your phone.

Realizing I had in fact hot booted my phone the last few times, I went ahead and did a full reboot. Problem solved. I am now sitting at 10 hours on battery with 82% battery left. Screen on time is 52 minutes. Android System has gone down to 5% of battery usage where it should be.

For anybody else having this issue, do a FULL RESTART of your phone. The Hot Boot method on the Galaxy S3 has a major battery draining bug. I would stay away from Hot Boot until that issue can be worked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good info! Thanks for the follow up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
Also I think imoseyon has fixed this in his kernel. Maybe you might want to see how he did that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Yes, he does have that listed as a feature in his kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Sweet! I may have to look later on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stephangardner:
I haven't been on in a while. But I would be willing to test lower voltages. Or give me instructions on how to edit. And I'll find the lowest point this phone can run. With my evo 3d I could drop over 100 mv before it got glitchy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Any idea why mine is clocked at 1.8 GHz stock after flashing? I have no CPU controller installed an it says its suppose to boot at 1.5. Not a big deal but just wasn't trying to worry about running a CPU controller. I like to just leave that stuff alone an at 1.5ghz like how the stock kernel is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
What are you using to measure the clock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
CPU spy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Remove it and use SetCPU or System Tuner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
It doesn't control the CPU, just tells you what states are being used. Its all good, I got it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I know what it does. It doesnt work well with MSM8960 kernels. Trust me on this one :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
CleanKERNEL 1.2 out!​

Changes in this version

9/5/12 - Version 1.2

Added: O/C to 1.99

Possibly Fixed: O/C not OC'ing on some devices (needs to be tested)

Possibly Fixed: gsiff_daemon fix? (needs to be tested)

Added: Optimaztions to file system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
Working great so far.

scrosler, Thanks for your great kernel.

I need your quick help on the kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31143145&postcount=25

from link above, i am trying to implement the screen mode function for I535, which is available in the international S3 version. and after checked the detail coding, the system requires one file "/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/mode" created with default value 1, which is used to store the screen mode selected, but as this is some kernel file, is it possible to create the special kernel with this file and owner 1000:1023, authorization 664 for me? thanks a lot and looking forward to hear you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griffis:
Flashed 1.2 and no GPS,then wiped cache and dalvik and immediate lock! Best ROM and kernel and I've tried most of them....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
wont work with beans 10 will it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Can the GPU clocked be increased further? I think we are good with CPU speed, but GPU speed can use a little help. Playing Wind Up Knight and the game stutters a big some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
i flashed the 1.2 kernel on beans 8 and it did the kexec double boot. when it did boot up, under system info it shows a imoseyon kernel version from 8/1. i then rechecked the download and file and it shows clean kernel 1.2, but thats not what shows up in sys info. flashed back to imo's v.7 with no issues...strange!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
That's what I'm on maybe I shouldn't leave
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
I've tried his kernels on Beans and they won't work. Not sure why. Ramdisk maybe? I dunno. No dev here....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
Just wanted to make sure I'm thinking correct here. I'm running CleanRom 2.0 with the SP1 and CleanKernel 1.0. If I wipe cache and dalvik I should be able to flash the CleanKernel 1.2 correct? No need to do anything else correct?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
That's how I did it. Works great for me.

Scrosler, can you please help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, I cant. Sorry. Look for a guy named sbryan12144. he helped me with this kernel and may have a better idea how to help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
I'm currently running the stock Verizon ROM. Will this version work with this kernel? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Hi is it possible to implement voltage control. Leankernal was allowing people to do it with system tuner. Can the gpu clocks be increased further?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
As long as it is the VRALG1 build it should work just fine.

Nah, I dont think either are really that important.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
Mine is VRLG1 not VRALG1...guessing it won't work then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Same thing its just a typo, honestly I think the naming structure of the software version is too easy to mess up. There's only two software versions for the GSIII: VRLF2 and VRLG1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
Ooh nice...Yeah not familiar I had the S III for like 2 days now...coming from T-Mo Galaxy S II... So I'll give this kernel a flash and check it out, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No problem. Also, I stand corrected that was not a typo. There are only two software versions, but if you look at your baseband version and also build number then you will see: VRLG1 and VRALG1 respectively. That was my mistake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
As long as it has G1 at the end your good.

Would prolly work on F2 as well! Just not supported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fatalfuryy:
i installed the latest kernal and for some reason i am unable to overclock my device past 1350. i was able to set the min to 192 but once i select anything higher then 1350 it wont stick.

any ideas on what could be causing this? i am using VRLF2 and using setcpu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Strange!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
If I had to guess I would say that you have power saving turned on in Settings.

On overclocked roms I have seen the CPU set to 1350 with power savings turned on. On the stock kernel I think power savings pegs the cpu at 1050.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Ditch SetCPU (uninstall) and try SystemTuner. The interface and learning curve isn't as good as SetCPU, but it works.

Give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fatalfuryy:
thanks for the quick responses. Austin you were right for some reason my power save was turned on. i must've clicked it by mistake. thank you very much for the help. i always over think certain things meanwhile its right there in front of me lol
