Temporal aliasing or not it is still choppy!
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Is it an older GPU? Yeah. But it still holds up with the best of them. Of course it isn't going to beat them, but it hangs on. If you feel its so bad, why'd you buy the phone? Besides its a newer revision since the S2's Mali-400. Which is why the higher stock clock is able to be achieved.

Overclocking is fine, if you accordingly manage the voltage for said components
[Galaxy S III General] DCXW:
Is there anyway i can downclock my GPU?
[Galaxy S III General] nkirk:
Flickering and crashing etc happens when there's not sufficient voltage to accommodate the GPU overclock. But if you try to increase the voltage, heat becomes a major problem. Best thing is to stick to minor overclocks requiring small to no increase in voltage. Eg. Device may be stable at 533mhz at 1025mv, may flicker at 1000mv.

//nkirk
[Galaxy S III General] DCXW:
Any idea how can i downclock my GPU?:(
[Galaxy S III General] nkirk:
You need to use a custom kernel for that, find the right version of boeflea kernel for you and use the app to down clock
[Galaxy S III General] Zambiemambie:
It's not that dangerous and it happens when an overclock is too high on any GPU on any device, even computers. Turning your overclock down a little bit might work, I got lucky because my S3 GPU is running at 700mhz with a minor overvolt.

I had Viper 1.0.1 working. It wasn't broke but I tried to put Viper 1.1.0 on the phone. I keep getting the message "Unfortunately system UI has stopped " I have no status bar and no pull down for notifications.

I have dirty flashed, clean flashed, tried different kernels, fixed permissions, different download.

Any ideas?????

I have restored the previous version for the time being.

TIA

[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
I had the same problem, and couldn't fix it until I updated to the latest version of CWM recovery. Even if you think that you have the latest version, find the thread for it and re-flash it anyway. Then, do a FULL wipe, install Viper, then install the suggested kernel and see if it works, only after that, then try other kernels if you want to.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
you need to be sure to do a full wipe, because that is what happens when you dont
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
I will switch recovery to CWM, even though I don't like it, even from T'bolt days. I DO realize that the recovery will affect the Rom installs

Overnight I decided a complete wipe was in order. I also noticed something with the quick settings and notifications that is different. The quick settings scroll across the top of the notification menu and the page is skittish.

Time to back up all storage items.

Thanks for the responses.
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
If this solves the problem, please post back. I've seen two instances of it so far (one from twrp, one an early version of cwm) and I'm interested to see if these were isolated events or actual problems with the recoveries.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
I installed the latest version of CWM and reflashed Viper. So far all looks good. Also one other issue has cleared up, unmounting the USB drive no longer causes apps to stop. The only other change I made was from ES File explorer to Root Explorer.

The recovery causing issues also surfaced with the Thunderbolts. CWM was the villan in those instances.:fingers-crossed:

I have a boot-looping GP 4 on my hands. I forget where I got this from (though I believe I have the IcyFusion 4.0 ROM, and the TerraSilent Kernel). I CAN access Download Mode, but I am having trouble getting my laptop to recognize my GP... I installed Kies and followed all the steps (but it hangs at "Connecting..." when I plug it in), and I used several different methods to install the drivers, and rebooted my machine several times. However, it is not showing up on Heimdall nor Odin. I know what to do to get it working beyond that point, but I simply cannot get the stupid device found :(

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
I had the same problem, chances are you or an app had changed the build description in the build.prop file.

If you installed something like the Google wallet installer it may have done that. If that is the case, install it again and click restore build.prop.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Well I had google wallet installed through the Google wallet installer app, so I restored the build.prop...phone booted up and just stayed at a black screen. So that apparently didn't work lol.

The good: I can boot into recovery

The bad: didn't follow the #1 rule of backing up the current ROM... Looks like I'm reflashing and setting up the ROM again. (I'm bored right now any ways)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hellstyrant:
That's odd, I've never had that issue with the wallet installer, used it yesterday in fact. Did you make sure you checked the correct options (JB TW / ICS TW / CM and carrier)?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Yeah, I made sure checked the right settings. I'll just flash the recovery with Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
In order for google wallet to setup properly it checks for supported devices. The only official one is the nexus. So the installer changes the build.prop to the nexus. There is either sn option in the installer to change it back or it makes a backup in the system folder and u can do it manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LCPD:
hi everyone,

i used to have cyanogen mod 10 (4.2.1)

then i decided i want to get back to the stock rom 2.3.6 , so i tried to install a stock ROM GB for I9000 that i found somewhere online via Odin

the problem is that the device is now in boot loop.

my question is what should i DO?! to get it out from it

P.S

i found that there R many stock roms in the same versions to the same device but the difference between them is the name of the file, like:

I9000XWJVH

I9000JIJVG

I9000XFJVA

What is the difference ?!?!?

Thankyou...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realtbhuion:

flash that in odin, then http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570488 flash that and you'll be on stock 2.3.6

when flashing the first one, make sure to check the 'bootloader update' checkbox in odin.

the problem you're having is that ics/jb, gingerbread, froyo etc have different bootloaders, which use different partition layouts, so when you tried to go back to stock, you still had the ics/jb bootloader, which couldn't find the partitions to mount them, hence the bootloop.

Hi,

Grateful for assistance in:

a. Rooting my phone using Odin. Official ROM on phone is I9000XXJW4 (Gingerbread 2.3.6). Which kernel should I use to root the phone and is there a guide available?

b. On completing a. above is there a OCLF solution for fixing the lag problem and a guide for doing this? I understand the pay OCLF app on Google Play does not work and now does not contain the option to root the phone.

c. I have read with interest the option to flash a custom Jelly Bean ROM. Which custom Jelly Bean ROM is the best and most stable to flash? A guide would also be useful please. Is there a lag problem with custom Jelly Bean ROMs on the I9000? If so, I would be happy to stick with my official ROM if the lag problem can be resolved.

Apologies for all the questions but advice and assistance would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Realtbhuion:
you're already on JW4 so,

download the attached zip.

install the usb drivers ( can google for them easily, or install kies, then uninstall kies but not the drivers it installs. )

download odin if you haven't already ( guessing you have though )

extract the zip you downloaded

launch odin, click PDA, then navigate to where you extracted the zip, and select the tar file it contained.

boot phone in download mode ( turn off, hold volume down, home, and power keys until it boots to download mode, yellow triangle on screen )

connect phone via usb

once odin recognises the phone ( rectangular box below first square box will turn yellow when recognised ), click start to flash the file

phone will automatically reboot once the flash is successful.

phone is now rooted and has cwm installed.

after that, just pick the rom you want to install, download it and the relevant gapps file ( make sure its the right one. 4.2 gapps don't work right with 4.1.2, keyboard tends to crash ), and copy them to your internal sd on the phone.

reboot to recovery ( turn off, hold volume up, home, and power until it boots into recovery )

use volume keys to navigate in recover, home key to select, perform factory reset in recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then return to main recovery menu, flash the zip containing your selected rom, followed by the relevant gapps zip.

reboot.

done, setup phone.

as for the oclf thing, can't help you, only had my own galaxy S for a day, so idk about that.

as for jb and lag, i haven't noticed it with the rom i'm running ( details in my sig ), and it seems pretty stable to me, although i can't give comparisons to other jb roms as i haven't experimented with them, due to intending from prior to purchase to run paranoidandroid anyway.

This is the situation and what ive tried to fix it. I was on cm9 and wanted to try jellybam so I flashed using cwm . It was successful but wouldn't boot so I tried to reinstall the rom still no luck so I tried going back to cm9 and it got stuck on the s2 logo screen ! I tried odin to flash a stock rom and it was successful but still stuck on the logo screen. Ive tried gb and ics ive tried to flash with and without bootloaders ive tried reparation but that only fails unless I use the pit file but still didn't fix it. If I flash the stock rooted ics rom and then flash cwm zip i can wipe system then flash cm9/10 but that only gets me to the cm animation . It will sit there till the end of time but wont boot! In cwm If I check the log I get this error I:can't partition unsafe device:/dev/block/mmcb1k1p1. It wont factory reset on stock or cwm it only freezes then bootloops. I hope this is enough info please help me! I love my s2 and even tho I have my s3 I miss my s2 :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] troutslayermv:
Lol no that's not rude. I would ask the same question. ..I did and from what I've gathered its a corrupt sd card or part of the emmc brick bug. There are patched kernels to fix the same issue on the note but nothing for i777. All it says is factory reset and flash a new rom . Ive done that but still no boot:(. Roms flash fine and I can get into download mode and recovery but It wont factory reset or boot. Stock recovery says your ui is not prepared please factory reset and a bunch of can't mount data errors but it won't factory reset it just freezes then trys to reboot but gets stuck on the s2 logo then back to recovery. Here is the kicker tho. If I install a duel booting kernel I can install a second rom that boots but primary won't. ...I tried swapping primary and secondary roms but it froze....im just lost on this one and out of tricks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'm not sure what partition that is. You've go a typo in it, but if the last three letters are correct "1p1", I don't remember seeing that as one of the system partitions. The kernel is in "mmcblk0p5" for instance. It should be "mmcblk1p1" I guess.

If you suspect memory damage to that partition, you can confirm that by trying to pull the data from that memory block with adb or terminal using the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/sdcard/testBLK

If the memory is damaged, you will get an error message. If the memory block is good, you will get no error message. I guess you could also look into "testBLK" to see what is in there, but of course it will be binary data most likely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] troutslayermv:
That's the error I got 1p1. Abd is something I haven't done yet. I've used terminal emulator back in the days of my cliq dext but im sure I can handle it...im pretty sure it is corrupt but if I do the test and confirm this how do I fix it? Is it just a matter of deleting or do I have to rewrite the path? Im confused on this:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Actually, this was bad advice. Since your phone is bootlooping, you can't use terminal, doh! If you can get into recovery, you might be able to use adb. Or you could use Red_81's adb portable. You could also try his adb batch file from download mode to see if you can boot it into recovery mode. I guess it will take a little study if you have no experience with it.

Oh, and if the memory is bad, its bad. This is just a way to find out, maybe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Not saying that unless you verify for sure that the memory is bad. The only time I've actually heard of eMMC damage, and seen it verified, was in conjunction with the bad stock kernel on 4.0.4. There was also another case where a member sent his phone to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos for Jtag repair, and it was sent back unrepairable due to memory damage. I can't remember for sure, but I think that was due to the 4.0.4 stock kernel too.

You might talk to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos by phone to see what he thinks, before you send it to Samsung.
