Also some roms and kernels seem to cause the phone off charge animation to not show. For most its still charging. Yes dont drop to any lower than 1%. Though no indication its likely charging. What must of been the fix was removing the battery. Maybe you next time just need to remove it for 5 minutes and put it back in try charging again. Basically had this months ago while roms were starting to work bugs out.

I have more build props and some systctrl settings that we will all be using soon but im still setting up an easy way to implement them. I already made a basic initd with the systctrl just need to make an install script for build prop to make it easier. Still learning on that for now.

Hey guys can I give a pointer. Make sure to let users know once they disabke if they find pics dont show in gallery or suddenly a game wont even load the start screen just reenable media scanner and it should fix it. Doesn't happen with all media or apps but its neccessary knowledge to prevent users from being under the impression that the disable media scanner app solves a problem and to suddenly think their phone is not working as a result. Media of any type not reading... well reenable media scanner....

Does KMS also need to be started after every reboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
If it dont have a place to check off to make it start at boot then yes you have to start it after every boot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Not working for all but built into rescan media root the first time opening directions are grant super user and hit disable media scanner wait then hit back button once wait it gets super user access again and pauses a sec and exits now reboot and upon boot where normally it runs at boot (android.process.media) and on media access... so now at boot it doesn't run automatically but the service is active so if you add anything or access media it may start. At anytime if your busy and need to have uninterrupted use or need battery life and are not using media you can enter the app and his disable media scanner and it will stay off until you turn it back on or reboot. If you disable and leave off for days you may find random media did not transfer or save where you left it. I was moving files around and noticed issues like that starting. So the key is use it to take the reigns if you need but not banish it lol. Ill post two apps i found tommorow seem useful for media related stuff. One seems to be good for getting rid of corrupt media files not that I ran into any and another starts media scanner. Why would you want to well believe it or not if you run it when youve added a lot of stuff and it didn't start on its own and its well a good time for you maybe your charging the phone let it run it one will not take as long to complete next time it runs itself and two if there was going to be a bit it hadn't databased its taken care of and wont run a long time draining your battery unless you suddenly add new stuff. Games though read and write in different ways and can start and use media scanner naturally by what they use and need access too so running media scanner doesn't save you time that media scanner ran in during a game.

Rom toolbox doesnt have an enable OC option. Just has min and max mhz. You usually need to enable OC in ktweaker then its up to you to use ktweaker or rom toolbox for the mhz etc.

Hey here you go

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.promethylhosting.checkrandentropyavail

Run the app if you have seeder installed and used my initd script. If it all set correctly you should see a constant 4096 entropy value.

If using my script and not seeder entropy should be over the average with notjjng tweaked ie most see 100-300 entopy with no mods. With my script and no seeder you should see entropy in the 3000+ range at least most of the time.

How can we chk that the sysctl tweaks have truly been applied? I added to the initd folder. To we have to change the file name from a .txt?

Edit: sorry for quoting the whole thread! Couldn't erase it all from my phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
File type is file. I hit properties on mine and it just says file. What i would do is delete the .Txt from the end of it.

One of my settings is i set vm swappiness.

With this line

echo "5" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Now to check that all loaded at boot try this.

Using a root explorer like for install go to the folder /proc/sys/vm

There are a few txt files, lool for swappiness. Open it and my settings it sets to 5. If its another value it didn't work try again. The stock value infoget but i know its not 5.

Need additional help feel free to post another question.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] castle_bravo:
Went to do some research on Entropy (apparently it has a ton of other meanings) and what it actually does and means for android. I don't like to mess with things until I feel like I have a pretty good understanding about it, and this goes for things from my phone to my water heater (which I actually have to replace soon). Really the only lag I experienced was with the lockscreen. I have a habit of pressing the power button to wake the phone and not waiting even a half second to swipe the screen. I do it so quickly that the phone doesn't register it half the time, most of the time it knows I swiped but wont unlock and 90% of the time it wont unlock until I swipe a second time.

Anyway I stumbled across this:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/

I didn't have a problem with lagging on this phone before but I tried the generator because of the lock screen and the nature of what we do in this forum. I didn't notice any difference in the feel of my phone and have since stopped using it and I personally wouldn't use it again. I don't see the harm in using it though so if it ain't giving you guys problems and seems to be working for you go right on ahead.

My 2¢
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamdelozier:
Cam anyone give advantages or disadvantages of the different kernel settings? There's a lot of options! I am currently using the first one on the OP. Everything is running great, but I am always looking to improve!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] castle_bravo:
Well, put plainly, some of these settings are driven more towards battery saving and others are driven more towards performance. If you really want to learn about all these settings you should look up what they are and how they interact with each other (Just advice, not flaming), Mine are more geared towards battery saving because I use my phone mostly as a phone. So the up thresh i have set to 97 and down thresh up at 60, I'm trying to keep core 2 off as much as possible but without losing some of the phones performance (I still want it on, just not a lot, and when it does go on, I wont that core to shut down quickly and that is reflected in my hotplug settings).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamdelozier:
Thanks castle! I will be doing some of that research. It might be helpful for the different settings to be loosely labeled as to there basic premise. Just kind of a direcyion , you know what I mean? Anyway... Thanks for the quick synopsis.. I appreciate it"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] castle_bravo:
I used to have my down hotplug set at a much higher setting but during earlier discussions with a few of the guys here I decided to lower it so that the cpu would come to a rest state sooner.

hey mw86 was it you that was making a build.prop script? if so how is it coming along and is it for 4.1 or 4.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
So once 68tweaks it placed in init.d folder, drop off .txt, set permissions to read, write and execute. Reboot and sysctl is active? I read it a couple times and didn't know if that was separate. Where a sysctl file had to be placed somewhere and 68tweaks would enable it or if it's all just one motion. :)

I was able to get it to display 4096. So I assume it worked as well. Swappiness also at 5.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
Yes mw86 is working on build.props for both, TW and AOPK, He is in the process of learning about scripting so it won't be ready until an unknown future date. I'm sure he is working hard to have something ready as soon as possible.

Sounds like it's working as intended.

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

New version of seeder released if anyone is interesting in trying it. Some Galaxy S III owners see no difference using it, other Galaxy S III users claim improvement. It seems to make the biggest difference on older devices. Even on old devices there are claims of it doing nothing, to almost turning an old phone into a new one. LOL If you do, don't expect a night and day difference as our devices are pretty fast and don't have a lot of lag to begin with.

I did read a post by a quad core owner who wanted max battery life, even UC to 800mhz but to much lag. When first using seeder, didn't notice any difference, then tried UC to 800mhz and discovered lag had greatly improved. Plans on keeping the max frequency at 800mhz for maximum battery life. I share this story, in-case someone might be interested in going for absolute maximum battery life. But that said opinions very greatly with this app.

Version 1.2.4 This version implements a progress bar displaying your currently available entropy, as well as automatic rngd restart on upgrade.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

The above is true. If you run your phone with governor settings very performance oriented, the benefits will likely not even be seen. Im using tunings like that user. I am using 96-2106mhz but using my last posted governor tunables.

Up threshold 95

Down threshold 85

Up hotplug 99

Down hotplug 94

Sample rate 10,100

Frequency step 2

These are nearly the most aggressive power saving settings discussed here. I would get light lag when it was real busy and forces itself to try to be in single core and furthermore minimum mhz. Once i started using seeder everday actions i would get slight halts or stutters from under this low mhz mostly single core usage have improved and i barely feel what could be considered lag. Dont get anyone wrong if you force low mhz etc its not going to be the most responsive but should save juice. Using the build prop + systctrl + seeder and powersaving governor setups one could get stock or better feel yet save a lot of battery by not needing as much cpu to back it all. Thats why some of the build prop to use gpu more help so much, they save cpu cycles and power since rendering get done by the more efficient gpu, more efficient at rendering that is. So in conclusion you can still benefit from seeder etc even with a performance setup... you just wont notice what we are when the use of cpu gets restricted.

Thanks Jim ill try the new one they must of released a few revisions over night.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
It's a bit difficult to answer without a bit more information. I have not tried the latest the update that was just released. Are you overclocked, OC using stock voltages, or charging while using the device, or all three? OC will cause the CPU to run hotter as will charging while in use, charging, OC, combined with stock voltages, I would imagine it would get really hot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
How long ago did you flash the kernel. You have to give it some time to settle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcdominguez:
More voltage = more heat. His voltage screenshot seemed higher then default. Try going default and follow the setup method above that should be enough. I also saw that the core was at 1800 that's a little too high seems like your phone is requesting lots of resources but not sure for what I don't know what you are running but try the above settings

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
A updated KT kernel was released about 4 hours ago, so you must be using the December release. If so a lot of us have been using that kernel and do not have heat issues due to the kernel. Has something else possibly changed such as recently OCing? Was yesterday the first time using the KTkernel?

A bit more info could help us resolve your issue.

If you read the OP (first page of this thread) there are suggested undervolting settings, lower voltage can help lower CPU temp. Sometimes listening to music can kick off media scanner running, especially if you have a lot of media files, music, videos etc. Also in the OP there are suggested files that should be renamed for battery life improvement. If your running Freeza's rom or FreeGS3 and you want to use kernel/governor tweaks suggested in this thread a script needs to be deleted from the init.d.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
My screen shots of k tweaker 1/2 battery run
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
To set cpu down cycle is as follows.

Every 1 in cpu down cycle equals the time of your sample rate.

4 cpu down cycle would be 40,400 before core two can turn off. So 40ms before it can turn off. Good values are 0 if you want the least amount of core two on. If cm10.1 cpu load calcuation is still off and cpu sticks at 100% on minimum mhz then perhaps try using a high value on cpu down cycle so atleast when possible the second core doesn't quit early and your in one core but minimum mhz. I noticed that behavior on 1/2/2013 update. Hopefully its just getting better.

Jim and Jcdominguez had good advice. Check if media server was causing issues if its in the upper list of your battery stats it was the issue. Click its name and let us know if that was the case how long it ran. If its over 5 minutes you would see what you described. Another method is lower you max mhz by one mhz bin. Try undervolting with the table in original post or the one i posted a page or two back. We are gathering all the infos posted here into one post but will not be done for a few days. Ill slowly be adding it all in post number two of this thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
Yes it's very hard to stay away from KT for long and all the tweaking, very understandable, I also love KT747. For me, it's mainly due to mw86, freecharlesmanson, their great advice and tweaks, not that KT isn't a great kernel to begin with, they have helped to take it to another level IMHO.

agreed dood! once i stop flash aholicing ill get some good readings and post.

for the kid with the overheating problem its more than likely your battery temp you are reading.
