First Post

I searched through the Galaxy S3 Forum and can't seem to find any current information and guide that would walk me through overclocking my phone. I want to be able to tweak voltage and overclock my phone to the 1.7-1.89 ghz area. I'm aware my mileage may vary on this but my real challenge is finding a current guide that will actually work.

Model: SCH-1535

Okay so a little background and information

I bought my phone on Black Friday and it came with ICS. Shortly after I updated to Jelly bean 4.1.1, then and now I have 4.1.2.

I have rooted my phone and installed pacman rom, via the following guide/s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-tQ05Zo_9U (How I rooted)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028443 (How I installed PacMan Rom)

My next goal was to overclock my phone.

I tried following this guide, but ended up soft bricking my phone

So I freaked like a noob would freak, However I'm proud that I kept a cool head because I eventually found a guide that got me back to stock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 (How I un-softbricked)

So I re-rooted my phone via the first link I provided and decided to stay back on my stock OS since I missed many of the features and samsung stuff I liked.

Just FYI, I never backed up my original OS as when I un-softbricked I had to find a stock OS online and it looks like I found a very early build of ICS but anyway I'm updated back to 4.1.2 JB and I am successfully rooted, Titanium backup says I'm completely rooted and I have superuser in a few apps I use.

My ultimate goal is to overclock my phone maximum and set a lower voltage minimum to help battery life as well. Everything I find on this seems to be dated back to June 2012 or July 2012 when the phone released and seems outdated and to not work on the newer JB updates out there. I think this needs to be revisited and a current process that is known-working be made forum knowledge.

So again, my first post, Thanks for reading, Hopefully someone can help. Hopefully the replies on this thread help many people out there seeking the same knowledge on their uber hard Verizon GS3 with it's locked bootloader.

Ahead of time Disclaimer, I do not hold anyone responsible with what happens to my phone if they give me advice to overclock my phone in good faith and something goes wrong. I take full responsibility for taking the risk with my device.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Just throwing this out there, I honestly didn't bother watching the youtube videos that you linked.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? You are rooted but you can not flash a kernel unless you have unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise you will be softbricked and need to use Odin to recover. Use the guide by open1your1eyes titled "[GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 3/5***" if you still need to do so.

Once you've have unlocked your bootloader, there are a number of kernels to use depending on if you're going to stick with your stock rooted TW rom or AOSP. Find a kernel you like, flash it, then you can adjust your voltages and/or CPU speeds with apps like System Tuner, SetCPU, Trickster Mod, etc.

Voltages, are tricky depending on the type of cpu you have. You can check the type of CPU you have by following these steps here. Make sure to read the link included which directs you to post #1341 by Imoseyon on the cpu differences.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Overclocking is a lot easier as the previously mentioned apps can do that as long as the custom kernel supports it. As for undervolting some custom kernels are already undervolted by default. There is also this for the KT kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2144004

There is also this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-kerneltouchwiz-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-mb1-v21-31513/page__st__1410#entry1042976
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Exodia:
Thanks for your reply, those are the steps that I've actually followed to get rooted, the youtube video I linked linked to that specific thread and that's the steps I took to root my device

So, I apologize but I'm completely new to rooting and flashing custom roms and things to your smartphone, my last two phones were blackberries so I'm now on my first of many droids to come (dont like iphone). This question will sound stupid of me but is flashing clockwork mod and then flashing the BRBMB1 bootchain unlocking my bootloader? If so I've done this already. The current steps out there don't seem to work for me.

I dont understand the terminology of some of these thing but I can follow a guide well. So far I've tried flashing the INvisblek v2 Kernel through EZ-Recovery and it really messed me up. I can double check my methodology. I'm wondering if maybe I just had a bad flash and maybe it will work if I do it again, but I'm hoping someone who has recently gone through this can share what they did to get it working on Verizon GS3 SCH-1535 because verizon sure does go out of it's way to prevent tampering :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Exodia:
Are both of those Kernels for overclocking? It looks like your second link seems to allow voltage tweaks, funny thing is before I started this thread I saw that thread but it didn't say anything about overclocking so to a noob like me what does kernel tweaking mean :)

I'll take a good look at those treads when I get home, I'm about to head home from work, thanks for your reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Well, first off, EZ-recovery isn't for flashing anything but a custom recovery. You flash kernels with the recovery just like you would with a ROM. It sounds like you're unlocked, and should be good to go.

Another thing to know/understand is that most custom kernels will support over/underclocking and many will support voltage settings. Most won't say they support clock changes because its almost understood for people who've been playing with this stuff for a while.

I will also say one last thing, and that is that you honestly shouldn't have much need to overclock this phone much at all. Its a very snappy devices, and especially if you can find a custom ROM that plays well with you. Overclocking will really more than anything lessen your battery life with the upside of slightly boosted performance (read: borderline negligible). At least in my experience.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
This is my first Android device as well and like you my last device was a blackberry. The thing is when overclocking you must undervolt to compensate for the increase in performance as it is a detriment to the battery. The first link I posted also supports overclocking and undervolted as when you're are flashing it you're also flashing it's KT Tweaker app it also allows you to save your oc/uv setup or use the team's own setups that you have downloaded. Also I recommend an app called DS battery saver as it fully utilizes the phone's deep sleep mode. For the aforementioned app I suggest put it in slumberer mode as in 8 hours of off screen time you're only losing 1-5% of battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Exodia:
Thanks for the reply too. I have one more question looking over those links it looks like there's two different types of things mentioned that I'm not clear on, what does AOSP and TW mean. Tw seems to refer to touchwiz. What exactly are those. Also from what you see do these seem compatible with my stock rom rooted SCH 1535? Thanks for all the help thus far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
TW is Touchwiz which is Samsung's UI while AOSP is android before any OEMs messes with it so it is basically stock Android. Since you are on Touchwiz the kernels made for it are your best bet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Exodia:
So I wanted to update this thread I ended up flashing synergy ROM everything is solved. I'm not sure if this rom comes with a kernel that allows overclocking but after flashing I can overclock up to 1.9 gigahertz Thanks for everyone who gave feedback on this. Now that I have synergy installed I have the best of both worlds all of the Samsung things I like and even custom things that are awesome.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jakmal:
After updating to jb my phone is always heat. On ics never hapend.

Who else?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
There's basically nowhere for the heat to go with this phone, and with a quad core on jellybean, some heat is going to be produced no matter what. I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if you're stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
If you're rooted try messing with the governor settings. I'm running ME's kernel at 1.67GHz and my phone never gets hot even with games. Try these settings except where the powersave bias is. That is changed by the built in eco mode. With these, the phone only goes above 1.13GHz when scrolling to improve performance and for performance demanding apps like games.

Sent from my LG-E970
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shinydesert:
Mines gets as hot as it used to on ICS. Try to do a hard reset and see how it goes afterwards.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] erwaso:
Mine gets just as hot as when on ICS. Still hits 91* if I play real racing 3 too long haha. Really annoying when I have to answer the phone at that temperature :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] clunkierbrush:
I had the same problem. After updating to JB, my phone started getting really hot and the battery drained after only a few hours of use. It used to last all day. I tried going back to E97011c, but now I'm having trouble with my wifi. It scans and finds the wifi, but it won't connect. Any ideas?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
You'd probably need to change modems.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Landofnod:
Hiya,

I've searched high and low to buy a simfree xda 2, but found that the prices range from very expensive to ok. Does anyone know where I can get the best price for a XDA 2? Would really like to hear your suggestions where to buy this amazing piece of kit in the UK.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Landofnod:
Good news,

I just bought one on Ebay :D Got it for £430, including a 256 SD card.

Thanks anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldenshibby:
Hey guys, so I charged my phone to full and then its been 3 hours since then.. I'm at 39% battery. When I go to battery stats, 96% usage is the "screen" category. What's going on? This is way too short. I'm on hyperdrive ROM with the stock kernel option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
whats your screen on time?

do you have your screen timeout time set to a really high number?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wioneo:
You could try better Battery stats to get an idea of what's been draining your battery. I think that there is a link to a free download somewhere on Xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldenshibby:
Yeah my screen timeout is like 10 minutes but should that matter if I'm not actually leaving the screen on for 10 minutes at a time? Screen on time is about 2 hrs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Well there's your answer. Average screen on time for stock battery is probably around 3-4 hrs depending on use (Wi-Fi vs 4g, amount of visual processing, etc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldenshibby:
Damn, seriously? That's really lame. Still though, 39% after 2 hours of screen on time seems really short to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] murphy_31047:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AKZWGAC is your answer :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
You can always try a different kernel to see if it offers better power management. Quite a few of them floating around in development/original development.

Lean kernel, kt747, ziggy's, anthrax (not on xda), etc are all options
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ckavvouras:
This is a new arrival on the play store and I thought I would chime in with my thoughts on it. First of performance world's pretty smooth, more smooth them I thought it would for a vector type app. It does lah a bit when zoning in our out, not so much on the zoom it self but the redraw. Second the interface, it's very close to Sketchbook pro but needs some work there is no save option witch could be confusing but it does save your work when you either go to the galley or create a new piece of work. When it comes to saving your world there is no other option other then png, and is not transparent, you cannot merge layers. It can save images up to 100+ mega pixels. There is no pen pressure sensitivity, which really blows but I have heard rumors autodesk has plans to release one for the Samsung app store. Over all I think it a pretty decent app, it need some polishing. If there is any questions you would like to ask please feel to ask

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adsk.sketchbookink_gen
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] awe215:
The autodesk website mentions a version being released via the samsung app store which supports pressure...but it isn't listed in the US store yet :-/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Temetka:
Well I purchased it and will give it a go. Looks good, hope pressure sensitivity comes soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Wow, sorry - but this really isn't a very good app yet.

First off - no pressure sensitivity. Given that they have it in their Sketchbook Pro app, it seems weird not to include it here.

Second, while the UI is similar to the one in Sketchbook Pro, it's definitely not as polished or refined. For example, no easy way to erase lines. Of course, since pen support isn't there - you can't use the eraser end of a pen (Wacom pen-enabled pens work with the Note 10.1 and give you eraser end - which actually works on most Note pen apps).

I would STRONGLY recommend Sketchbook Pro over this. It's not much more money - but it's a lot more feature and capability.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
Just to let you know It is pressure sensitive see picture.

Also in don't mind that it doesn't have an eraser, have you ever been able to rub out ink on paper?

The only thing missing for me is a water will or opacity settings.

Oh and it is available in the Samsung app store atleast the aussie one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
Wait, so is it or is it not pressure sensitive?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
As I said above it is pressure sensitive, oh just so I'm clear I got my foot from Samsung app store just incase it makes a difference I don't see why it should though
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
There is only one pen for sensitivity and it's the top one, all the others haven't got it

I'm going to try to use it with sketchbook pro, as if I first do something with pro but want to add more detail to it I'll then upload my work to ink and carry on with it as ink you can zoom in more

It's really just basic at the moment
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
My apologies your right It is only the top brushing
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Reiman76:
Downloaded this as soon as it came out on Samsung's app store (is there really a difference with the one released on Google Play?). But i haven't tried it out yet since i have a few projects lined-up on Sketchbook Pro.

Quick question though. Is this app raster or vector-based? It doesn't really say.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Temetka:
About to try it out, I got My Copy From google.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
Before Sketchbook removed the commentary on their website , it said that the version available in the Samsung Store was vector based, hence the detailed zooming (I supposed).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
The one on Google Play is definitely NOT pressure sensitive.. I have a copy of it on my Note and I've actually *tried* it - so pictures or not, you're wrong.

It simulates pressure sensitive inking, but isn't actually pressure sensitive.

As for not needing an eraser - this isn't *really* paper - paper is that hard dry stuff made from pulped wood. Your tablet isn't actually made of paper. Why do you assume it should work just like 'real' paper?

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Are you sure it's pressure sensitive? I'm trying the top pen right now and it's just giving me a static width line no matter how hard or lightly I press. Same as pen two. The other ones simulate pressure, but don't actually respond to pen pressure at all.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
Yeah I notice it's not actually paper Thanks for pointing that out. :good:it is however an ink on paper simulation so for me personally I don't mind the app not having an eraser that is all.

As for pressure sensitivity I'm sorry but if you pay attention to the picture I posted earlier in this thread it shows that the top brush atleast is pressure sensitive not all brushes just the top one. I also did mention I bought it from Samsung apps not Google play so I can't answer for the Google play version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
This is a screenshot from the samsung apps version and has the pressure sensitive top brush which is seperate from the rest of the brushes.

I'm thinking if this one is different than the one from google play store then does that mean the sketchbook pro for note featured in samsung apps is also different from the google play one?

If so then it is wrong to charge again for something I already have bought

I've also noticed that on my 10.1 it's this is called galaxy note ink
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cmunho:
There are 2 versions of Sketchbook Ink. The one in the Play Store is not pressure sensitive. It seems Autodesk released a Note specific version to the Samsung app store. The problem for US buyers is only free apps are available from the Samsung app store currently and Sketchbook Ink for Galaxy Note is a paid app. Autodesk is aware of the issue and working on some resolution.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
I emailed them saying that people who bought the android versions should get free upgrades to the note versions, it really isn't right otherwise.

There are also two versions of sketchbook pro for note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
Just wondering did you hear back from autodesk?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cmunho:
Autodesk hasn't updated the support thread. I'm from the US and was able to download the app by setting the Samsung Apps country to Australia. It worked and I paid without issue.

In all honesty, sketchbook ink for note only has 1 pressure sensitive tool. The rest of the tools don't use pressure. So you really don't gain much with this version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ckavvouras:
Some pressure is better then no pressure :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
I kinda got tired of waiting on the Note version, so I bought Infinite Painter for Note from the play store. It cost the same and is vector based and it had some cool features.

Ron
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
No and doubt they will or they'll do anything, they're probably just happy from the money they'll make and hope people will buy two versions of their app and doubt they even care
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ckavvouras:
I don't know why the don't just have one version I find it quite retarded
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JTG81:
Agree, it's just money grabbing, there customer support stinks as well if they have one? Has anyone ever gotten a response from autodesk?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
Not me! And I use to give them a lot of stink about their lack of support on the Sketchbook Pro app and never heard from them. Not even to acknowledge receipt of my mail...

I am rooted only and on version 11c. I can download JB fine and the install starts. When it gets to 2% I get a message saying I have a 0X13E error. The phone reboots into ICS and works fine.

There are several comments in other threads about this error but I don't see if anyone has found what causes it or how to fix it. One thread has someone deciding the phone is defective and getting a refurb from AT&T. They mention doing a factory reset and still having the update fail. I don't want to got that route (having dealt with refurbs before) and I haven't tried the factory reset yet.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
I got the 0x13E error as well.

I'm rooted an unlocked, and I tried to do the update by rolling back to an ICS nandroid. I downloaded the update several times, same thing each time.

At some point in my attempts, SnowLeapord posted his flashable 20j .ZIP, so I quit trying to figure out why I got the error.

If you want to get the update OTA, I think you'll have to LGNPST back to stock 11c.

I'd recommend just using the flashable zip personally.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] miller150:
Same issue here, and factory reset does nothing. I've tried three different backups, both rooted and unrooted, and I've tried flashing 11c and 10o. Oddly enough, even my fully stock backup on 10o has no available updates(ie, the update to 11c isn't there anymore, and you can't update direct to 20j).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hollywood528:
I got the same issue when I was rooted and unlocked. I used the Freegee app to re lock and then did the update. That seemed to do the trick
