[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
I just wanted to share a few tricks i learned to get graphics-intensive games to run much more smoothly. These commands should be run in android terminal emulator as root, in adb shell as root, or ran as a script with any script-running app with root privileges

All of the following is only temporary and will be reset to normal after a reboot

stop mpdecision

stops the hotplugging binary used to turn on/off extra cpus we want this gone because we want to specify which cpus are online ourselves

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online

turns on the other cpu cores (you probably don't need all 3 extra cores on, just turning cpu1 online makes a big difference)

echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

sets all online cpus to maximum frequency

echo performance > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor

sets the gpu to stay at maximum frequency

as a script:

#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo performance > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orangelight99:
would this help improve general smoothness across the ui and other apps? Does it reduce the choppiness in the maps app????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
It would, but i'm not sure how long the battery would last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Faux kernel with Faux Clock you can do all this! It is great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Jeepers. Seems the device gets hot enough without doing this, but what makes the user happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
havent noticed mine get that hot at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Perhaps subjective to the user. Playing 3d games gets the device hot and OC ing will get it hotter. If the user does not mind, that is what matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
may add this to the roms/ guides / etc list
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cilraaz:
You might also want a script for when you're done with gaming. Probably something like:

#!/system/bin/sh
start mpdecision
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor

This way once you're done with gaming/whatever, the phone can go back to scaling down CPU speeds and hotplugging cores to save battery. It's not very useful for an idle phone to have all 4 cores active and running at full speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IamPro:
What if I just reboot the phone, would that stop the script(s)? Anyone try the S4 with PSP emulator (PPSSPP)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cilraaz:
Rebooting would restart mpdecision, and therefore let your hotplugging go back to working order. I'm not certain it would reset your governor, though. So your phone may still be running at full speed 24/7, even after a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
I don't think start mpdecision will do what you're intending but according to cat "/proc/`pgrep mpdecision`/cmdline" it was started by "mpdecision --nosleep --avg_comp"
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackwoodman1005:
Having a really annoying problem right now.

My girlfriend's phone broke and she got given a Galaxy Ace S5830i which is on Orange. However she said she hated the firmware it was on (Android 2.6) So I updated it to 4.1.2. I think I used Jellyblast or something like that.

But now it won't let her send or receive calls and texts.

I've literally searched the whole web for days trying to find a fix.

Also we've tried connecting it to ODIN while in Download mode and it just won't recognize the phone.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
dial *#06# to check your imei number..

if number doesn't appear means u have lost your imei..

revert back to stock to get imei back or may be flashing stock kernel will help...

odin is not recognising your phone because u may not have installed drivers on pc..install kies for the drivers..or search on net..

if u have installed driver then reinstall them..reboot your pc..

sometimes drivers need to be reinstalled several times..
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackwoodman1005:
the number doesn't show.

Also, the phone is recognized when it isn't in download mode..
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envy-X:
Well you have lost your Imei number, there is a guide in general section on how to restore it, and I Will say this one time only, Jelly blast is not android 4.1. Its 2.3.6 but edited. Its easy to edit. (look at mine) Also there is no Ics or jb for this phone. We are stuck on gingerbread for a while.

Okay thanks, going to give it a try in the morning. Will post the results. Hopefully it'll fix it!

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xErwinPLx:
I have noticed that my S4 tends to get a bit hot around the top right side and by the camera. Is there and way to prevent this?

Please share your experience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zorprime01:
I've had no problems with my s4 so far.... I'm on voip's all day long and no heating problem.....

But it does take forever to charge this pig... Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidsoccer:
Mine charges extremely quick with stock charger
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zorprime01:
I use the stock charger as well...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Seen others report issues of heat around camera from others on the tmobile site but I have not had any problems yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xErwinPLx:
Then idk what can it be. I have all the air gestures turned off. And only use wifi.

To all that responded thank you.

And do all of you have a rooted S4? Or are you on stock? Maybe it only happens when your on stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farru503:
Every phone does that...and its more noticeable when you are playing games or streaming a lot! Of videos
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Greg1964:
Yes mine gets hot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidsoccer:
Who's s4 charges quickly?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Mine charges in like 2 hours or so that's pretty fast to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidsoccer:
Same but that's weird
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farru503:
ohh well dont worry about it if during the day your phone last at least 10 hours of overall use then dont worry ...but if the battery drains quickly then it might be the ROM, or your battery or multiples widgets are running all day
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Your phone should not get very hot (if at all) while charging.

Two main reasons this will occur

1. Wrong voltage on AC charger (if you're not using stock)

2. Rom/Kernel issues

I've definitely experienced my phone getting hot when streaming HD video or playing cpu/gpu intensive games for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zorprime01:
My phone takes forever to charge but man it last long time too....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidsoccer:
Mine charges quickly and drains quickly too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] efisal:
for every 5 min its up 5%

for every 5 min of charging its up 5%. :laugh:

did Samsung say that they improve the charging when they first show the GS4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
That is perfectly normal. Thats where the processor is situated. It is normal for the CPU to reach temps of around 70 degrees under heavy usage. As long as the phone isnt shutting itself off because of overheating you are fine!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ootegb01:
These phones tend to get hot at times, if it is hot all the time then you have an issie.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulGKing:
I've installed the PACman rom to try out, I've plenty of experience with other roms so installation no problem.

My problem comes from one of the features (no idea where it comes from) where I've got a float round semi-transparent blob on the left hand side of the screen which seems related to notifications somehow. It wasn't there initially, I think I pressed something in the notification bar to bring it up.

I find it annoying and gets in the way, but I can't find in the options how to get rid of the wretched thing.

Since I don't know what it's called, searching is pretty much useless. The thread in the development area posts to a place for "new to", however that's a dead link and I can't post anything there to ask or get that corrected since I don't have enough posts.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pargas:
My guess is that it is Halo. Have not tried PAC so can't help u to get rid of it but guess there is a way to turn it off. Good luck

PS. try longpressing it and see if you can delete it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
The above poster is correct, it's called Halo. To delete, double tap but don't let go of the second tap. You can then drag it up, to a red circle at the top of the screen and delete it. There will always be an option to turn it back on, from the notification shade though. That's unless PACman has an option to completely disable it, I know Rootbox does. Watch this video to see what it does/ is intended for, it's more than just a notification manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5WljHcOyXs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy16:

Thanks for the info, I managed to get it turned off again. I'll come back and take a look at it properly later, see if I can get used to it, or find a way of making it more to my liking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
Unsure what happened. Phone has been rebooting and overheating for days so I went to RUU it and after I relocked the bootloader my phone decided not to go past bootloader anymore. When I try RUU I get Error 140 Bootloader Version Error. My bootloader has a Security Warning at the top which was not there before. I would like to RUU and get S-OFF so I can take the phone in without issue but am having no luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Some more info would be useful. What Hboot & baseband are you currently on, and what RUU did you try to run?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
The 3.15 RUU and HBoot 2.09 I dunno basebands. If there is a working 3.16 RUU that would be helpful but there isn't...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Baseband is your radio version, and you can check it in the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
1.12
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The radio version is directly below the Hboot version. That looks like the Hboot version. Boot into the bootloader and list the info displayed in the top left corner of the screen, all the way down to the radio version.

You relocked so you'll need to unlock again. You may even need to install a recovery again. What ROM/kernel combo were you on? If you were on a custom kernel, I would try a different one or stick with stock. Some kernels don't play well with certain phones, especially if you're overclocking or changing the voltage any. For now, try unlocking and getting the phone up and running again.

Also, gaining S-off is highly recommended;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
Hboot is 2.09 Radio is 1.12 I cannot unlock because it won't write. I cannot seem to do anything. I tried using the Unbricking tool but it does not recognize my device. I think this issue started when I tried to lock after a failed s-off attempt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What do you mean when you say it won't write?

Also, for your radio, use the last four digits, not the ones at the beginning.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
Full Radio is 1.12.11.1210 and when I flash something via fastboot it sends it then has a write error. I have tried flashing RUU's, recovery, my unlock_code all to no avail. I tried using the unbricking tool but linux doesn't seem to see my device (I am new to linux). I appreciate the help btw.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You won't be able to use fastboot commands to push a recovery to your phone while it's relocked. Also, the RUU won't work because you're on a software version higher than the most recent RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
This is where HTC screwed us with no recent ruu... Smh.

The the op... Have you gone through the steps to HTC Dev unlock again? What does it say when you send the unlock token?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
The unlock token won't write. Nothing will write. If there was a modified RUU that would help. If I could modify my version so the RUU would work that would work... and yeah HTC really screwed us...

Edit: Actually the unlock_code.bin writes but then nothing happens on the phone...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vysse:
Update: took it to a sprint store and they fixed it. They apparently have 3.16 RUU. Or magic....

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Curst:
Hi everybody!

I feel like giving [ROM][4.2.2 JDQ39 AOSP] Eos4.0 - - Nozomi a go, but there are some things that confuse me with the instructions. I don't want to spam the roms thread with my questions, so i hope that this thread is ok. Here we go:

Currently i am on stock JB, but if i need to there is no problem with downgrading and rooting. My BL is unlockable, but i will not do it until i am actually ready to install the rom.

1) "MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST 4.2.2 COMPATIBLE RECOVERY." - How do i know which one is?

2) "Going to EOS4.2.x from a rom < 4.2.x:

Backup everything !

Go to recovery

Make a full wipe / factory reset

format /system

Flash the rom

Flash optional kernel

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot" - This is where my real confusion sets in. When i installed CM10 on my Arc S the first thing i had to do was flash the kernel which contained the recovery. Here the instructions say i have to flash it after flashing the rom. Am i to shutdown my phone after flashing the rom in order to install the kernel?

Thanks for reading. :)

My curiosity got the better of me. :silly: I tried the CM-method of flashing the kernel first and it worked. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScoobSTi:
Hi,

I tried installing the Chimera kernel on my sister's Exhibit and after it installed and rebooted, the phone was stuck in the CM10 boot animation. The phone has CM10 installed and it does get past the Samsung logo.

The thread for Chimera tells us to make a Nandroid but I didn't bother as when I installed Chimera on my Exhibit, all was well. So, there is no Nandroid to restore to on this phone.

Is flashing a new ROM the only option?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
I'm having this same problem after I flashed everything. my rom, cache, data, delvik+cache, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Just dirty flash CM10 to delete the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
But I can't even get into CWM...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
I was talking to Scoob.

You need to press volume up and power to get in to recovery. Volume down and power is download(Odin) mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScoobSTi:
Dirty flashing is flashing without wiping, right?

And if I do this, I'm guessing she will lose all her files etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Wipe dalvik cache, cache and then flash CM10 and gapps. Hopefully, everything will still be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScoobSTi:
Ok, I'll try that. I just have one more question, does the CM10 have to be the same as the one currently installed? It's an older version and I don't have the same ZIP, so I'll have to download a newer version.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
A newer version should be okay. As long as it is CM10.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScoobSTi:
It works! :) I just thanked all your posts in here. :p

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
just check SPL version on your device (go to bootloader, turn on phone with hold volume minus and power button)

when you known SPL, downgrade it to 1.69

if version of SPL 5.x, you must first flash this

Hey guys sorry if this is a noobish question but I am currently on GOODNESS JB ROM. Today I noticed that for some reason i don't have a custom recovery installed. So I need to flash a CWM but am not sure which one. The last time I made a nandroid I had flashed EL26+CWM using mobile Odin. Does that mean I need to find that same version of CWM but WITHOUT the EL26 kernel??? I don't want to mess up my phone as I do NOT have access to a computer. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
Only JB kernels with recovery are GB27 that I've found. Goodness is FK23 I think? Garwyns 0.4.0 has cwm but all the others have Agats Recovery....I THINK...so be careful
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hackaveli:
Instead of flashing custom recovery, can I just go straight to flashing another ROM to get a working custom recovery? I can just mobile Odin EL26 and flash a different ROM like project X 4.2.2 and end up with a permanent custom recovery right?

Yeah...been suggested to me to flash Roms with EL26 or EL29 and mods and tweaks with agats.
