[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
Just for do some tests... And phone will not fry... The N4 and S4 have been OC'd to 600 MHz witouth any problems!

EDIT: I've tried to change the file but it resets to kernel value (450 MHz)... so the only solution is waiting for Matt's zip...

P.S.: Matt, can you make 4 zips? One for 500 MHz, one for 550 MHz, one for 600 MHz and one for 620 MHz? Or can you let me choose one of those 4 frequencies directly from a single zip? Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Every phone reacts differently to overclocking but you seem pretty sure anyways keep us posted..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
Matt can you also make a zip wich unlock a CPU frequency of 2.3 GHz? Now I'm on faux123 kernel and max frequency is 2106 MHz (on ElementalX was a bit higher, 2160 MHz)... So I want to try a CPU clock of 2.3 GHz and a GPU clock of 620 MHz... don't worry I keep temps monitored and I will downclock if phone gets unstable.

[MENTION=3544053]shahkam[/MENTION]: Sure, I'll keep you posted!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

It won't work with just a zip file, the GPU freq (like the CPU freq) is hardcoded in the kernel, if you want test an higher overclock you need to compile your own kernel... It won't work just by editing a file... Try by yourself modifying the value in the path you find LOL, and there is not only this path (/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/*** and a few others)...

The values you'll find in certain paths are just some values matching what was hardcoded in the kernel (for to do simple).

If it was too easy to just edit some files for overclock, why devs need to compile a kernel with overclock possibility???

If some GPU/CPU freq are not available in the kernel (by the kernel dev) you cannot set them without recompiling by yourself the kernel to add some extra GPU/CPU steps.

Plus the kernel devs here have tried GPU overclock above 450 Mhz and the result was worse performance, lag, etc... Something due to memory bandwitch or memory bottleneck... I don't remember exactly...

In fact the SIV can have higher GPU overclock with the same GPU as our but the "stuff" arround is not the same. Unless a dev find the solution.

But you'll never see GPU overclock in our One above 450 Mhz just by editing some files, trust me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
I want to try myself, if it works bad I already said that I will set the stock frequencies back. Anyway I think that Matt is going to prepare a flashable zip wich goes to replace the kernel files.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
LOL, good luck! :p

In the path you find, for max_gpuclk (and find all the others paths related to the GPU clock, good luck here too :D) change the value by yourself with a file explorer like Root Explorer (edit the file) it will do nothing!!! Same thing for the other values!!!

I think you don't understand what I wrote or how all the kernel stuff works...

You need to compile your own kernel or recompile the kernel... and add the available GPU freq you want, but it's not too easy as just add a 600 Mhz step when you developed your kernel, what about voltage, memory allocated, other config files needs to be modified to match all your modifications, etc...???

It's infinite more complicated than you think...

:D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
I know that the values cannot be changed by a file manager... but it was Matt who said that it's possible with the zip... If it isn't possible can you help me recompiling a kernel?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
by flashable zip, I meant I was going to compile the kernel for you ^^ But yeah the S4 has DDR3 memory so that could be the 'bottleneck' mentioned. This would be a lot of effort for little result.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
Well as I said is only a test, so if you can make a zip that will enable 2.3 GHz CPU and 620 MHz GPU, I would be very grateful :)... as I said if I have problems I will restore the normal frequencies. I have only a question: your zip will be compatible with faux123 kernel? I mean... Can you make it from faux123 sources?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makbil:
You'd be better off asking this to one of the kernel developers and see what their answer is.

Forget about that zip, it has to be a full kernel compilation and I don't think it's going to happen. Requires too much work for a result that is already known.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliquo93:
Why I had to forget about it if he told me that he can make it?

[Defy Android Development] Bernd.Defy:
Hi there,

based on the work of [MENTION=3918311]viulian[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1000596]AnDyX[/MENTION] here at xda, i've ported erasmux' smartassV2-goveror to a kernel-module for Defy Mini.

It's easy to use:

1. download the attached zip

2. place the defymini_smartass2.ko anywhere on your defy mini (i prefer /system/lib/modules)

3. install the module

insmod /system/lib/modules/defymini_smartass2.ko

4. start a tool like no-frills cpu-control

5. choose smartassV2-governor, 245min / 600 max.

ToDo:

* create init.d - script:

- which detects current (overclocked?) max-speed

- loads smartass-module then

- changes governor to smartass with detected max-speed

Please try it and give feedback, i hope, there is a little more batterylife now.

Regards,

Bernd.Defy!
[Defy Android Development] Pottkopp:
Is it also working for defy? or why is it on this forum? ;)
[Defy Android Development] Bernd.Defy:
Sorry, just for Defy Mini. There is no special subforum for the mini, so this one seems to fit.
[Defy Android Development] rootdefyxt320:
[MENTION=5101064]Bernd.Defy[/MENTION] You can load the module on boot by using an app called Set Xperia which works for me to load the smartassV2 governor on boot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SetXperia.Inteks.org&hl=en

The smartassV2 governor has a delay on waking up but otherwise this governor gives you better battery performance.
[Defy Android Development] Bernd.Defy:
Thank you for your information about SetXperia. I already use another tool by inteks (developer of setXperia) - SystemCleanup. I was in contact with him, and he added the possibility to move system-apps to /flex-partition in this tool. After removeing all the bloat from /flex partition, there wera ~60MB of space there. So, i took all my "important" apps, made them system-apps (inkl. odexing to prevent creating files in /data/dalvik-cache) and moved them to /flex. What system cleanup does is create a symlink in /system/app to /flex/app, similar to link2SD, but without the need of an 2nd partition on sdcard.

For the governor: i created a little init.d-script to load and set the governor at boot. Works great.
[Defy Android Development] Guitwo2:
Nice module. Seems to work fine.

I'll just add in the 66ocmodule script what's necessary to load it on boot.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

I'm iterrested in doing that as well.

Could you please develop this sentence ?
[Defy Android Development] Bernd.Defy:
That's what i put in my init.d-script:

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /system/lib/modules/defymini_smartass2.ko
echo "smartassV2" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

Slightly OT:

I played around a little with /system/app and /flex/app and what i found out is, that you can't install anything to /flex/app directly, but this folder behaves like a second /system/app, like an appendix. So i tried to move apps from /system/app to /flex/app and - it worked. I moved them directly (and did not create a symlink in /flex/app), and after reboot, all apps were still working.

So this is what i did for all important apps that i don't want to Link2SD (via Link2SD :)):

1. removed all bloat from /flex/app --> 60 MB free

2. moved all system-apps, that will probably never update, to /flex/app (for example phone.[apk|odex], Calendar*.*, ...)

3. used SystemCleanup to convert "normal" apps to odexed system apps. If you odex these apps, they store their odex (in general the same as a dalvik-cache-file) in /system/app, not in data-partition. Caution! Some apps do not work after converting. I converted the following apps to odexed system-apps with success: Holo Launcher, Playstore, K9 mail, SuperUser, Wetter.com (guess where i'm from! :) ), CpuSpy, Hacker's Keyboard, Link2SD)

When there are updates for these "system-apps", then i use SystemCleanup again and integrate the update in the system-app and odex it again.

HTH,

Bernd.Defy
[Defy Android Development] MauroSZ:
[MENTION=5101064]Bernd.Defy[/MENTION], first congratulation for your consistent job. You (or someone else) may tell me if there are any apps originally in flex/app that we should NOT regarding as bloatware ? Which ? Thanks in advance.

In was dumb enough not to enter su command in terminal...

Geez....

Still, after a reboot the phone looses this governor and revert back to performance governor.

Shouldn't remain in phone's memory?

Thank you again for your work here.

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] rootdefyxt320:
You will need an init.d script to keep the module loading on boot.

I tried to include smartassV2 governor into by custom kernel but it ended up in build errors. The only good uses you can get with my custom kernel is that you get root access within the kernel, performance improvements (my phone seems to boot slightly faster with my custom kernel), and better overclock with [MENTION=5101064]Bernd.Defy[/MENTION]'s overclock module.
[Defy Android Development] MadK9:
...no luck!

Hi there,

I have installed a software called universal init.d support.

It runs ok, installed the module again, restart applied, module is gone...

I don't understand...

Cannot keep the module loaded and don't know the reason even if all your conditions are met...:confused:

Thanks for your time.

Thank a lot for your precious info and explanations!:good:

Sadly, still no go... after restart same thing happend... lost smatass governor and came back to performance governor...

When I entered the commands, I got

cross device link

message or something like that...

What the ...?:mad:

Need to inform you that I manually moved 77smartassV2 file to the init.d folder, set permisions as you intended, removed, of course .txt extension and... after restart, same thing...:confused:

Leaving this matter aside... a few days ago, my phone got the ultimate water test!!!

AND IS STILL ALIVE!

I left it outside on the table after my lunch. I went to do some shopping and came back home later that day. The weather was worse like... torrential rain pouring from the sky... after a couple of hours

I realize that my phone was outside in the rain for about 4 hours!!!

I found it in a little puddle in the middle of the table

(a plastic one that is deformed by the sun...)! Took it carrefully, start it and... wow!!! IT WORKED!!! Had some lag in the beggining but after I removed the batterry and shake all the remaining water from it, this gadget is back in shape!!!

AMAZING!!!
[Defy Android Development] rootdefyxt320:
Please remove the command adb shell if you are typing into Terminal Emulator on your phone to get rid of the errors. Yeah, the device is made to resist against water, Great phone to have when going to rugged places. ;) Is defymini_smartass2.ko in /system/lib/modules and permissions set to 644?

Inform me when you can do it :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] am2354:
Ok, so I have my brightness all the way up, and I am still having trouble seeing my screen, and yes, it's bright out, but I don't have it in the direct sun light. I know that my iPhone had no problem with screen being brighter outside. I have the auto brightness disabled. Now, when I bought the phone they put a glass protector on it which is clear, and I also have it in the Otter Box case as well. Could this reduce the brightness? Lastly, if the phone is what it is, then is there an app that will make the display brighter? Thank you so much.

AM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fade2green514:
use brighter backgrounds, they will eat up battery a little bit quicker but the brighter colors will actually make the screen brighter. using a black background will cause the screen to produce less overall brightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] am2354:
Wow, never gave that a thought. Thank you so much, I appreciate the information. I am off to find a brighter background.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twolasrnames:
If I remember correctly, the screen can get brighter with the auto brightness turned on. Can't remember where I read that, but the thinking was that super bright mode may damage the screen if it's on that way all the time.

Don't forget, Iphone has LCD, we have Amoled, which one of the drawbacks is, it sucks in the sun.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueagle91:
I am relativly new here, i now how ti put custom roms, recovery mod etc etc, and that all is fine. Two years ago i bought my ace, and root it, put recovery mod int it i beleive version 5, and all ok, i flashed about 50 custom roms, changed them until found one i liked :)

Now i got another phone, and my dad has the Ace, but he wants stock rom, dont ask me why :D

So i said sure why not, get the cable, charged it up, make backup of phonebook, connected it, installed all the drivers on my Windows XP, btw i use Pentium 3 toshiba laptop, cause i cant get drivers to work on Win 8

downloaded a stock rom, 2.3.6 version it is and it is XWKTM

ODIN 4.38 i put the Cooper_v1.0.ops file in, the md5 file, select all 3 options, and connect my phone, put it in download mode, yellow download shows, connect to usb, its original cable, windows detects, i get yellow in odin, and push start, checks md5 all ok, but gets to the setup connection and it can hang there for million years, damn..... :(((((((

i changed cables, changed USB ports, reinstalled installed drivers, NOTHING helps.

Any ideas?

Oh by the way, i maybe was a smart wisea*s so, i used this

to put original recovery mode in ti, hope i was not VERY PRETTY stupid because of this :D

Now i cant get into the recovery it puts me in some kind of memory ram dump arm9 crap

And btw the customrom inside the phone, works, phone works all functions work, so it is not bricked, atl least not fully.

Im thinking maybe because toshiba laptop has old 1.5 i think USB, not 2.0 so maybe that is the problem, tommorrow i will try on Windows 7 machine a my workplace, if that fails i have no ideas, so any ideas? help?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe T:
I rooted so I could use Wallet, a few other apps and to remove bloat. I can't stand the crap Verizon puts on their phones. 3+ years ago, I'd flash a rom almost daily but I too have grown out of the crack flashing phase.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Well, at first I used admin/sudo/root to learn what made my computer work, and consequently what made it stop working, and how to repair things when the system didn't like what I did to it. Then how to make the computer more responsive through config edits.

When I got my first andriod it was pretty much the above all over again but way littler. I don't think I can count how many times I've soft bricked my phones by poking around in file systems I shouldn't have been poking around in.

Then I focused on how to make my devices faster without using prebuilt "OMGITSFASTHUMINAHUMINAHUMINA" script pack zips found across the internet and here. So learned how scripts worked in general to automate a lot of mundane functions.

Then, My buddy Kyle was working on a performance kang of liquid for the DX. I offered to help get more performance out of it. And then I eventually took over the ROM building in that project and a bunch of others for that series of devices.

Root isn't so much to me about "check it out bro I'm rooted, I've got stock cyanogenmod10 on, yeah high five" as it is about what I'm able to do with that ability and more importantly what I'm able to learn by actually using that ability. That's why I try to make my updater scripts print on screen what the script is doing... To potentially help someone who didn't know what was going on potentially learn a little bit.

Besides all that, I enjoy theming my UI. And with how much I end up flashing ROMs RomToolbox Pro has been my go to for app backups. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myn:
Theoretically speaking you could run another ROM assuming it's compatible with the stock kernel.

It almost begs the question, maybe it's time for an In-Android (runtime) ROM flashing tool non-dependent on recovery. You wouldn't gain the other benefits of a normal recovery but you'd at least be able to flash ROM's, sans certain elements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Aside from the performance and mod benefits, I find it therapeutic. Everytime I freeze/uninstall Vznavigator, Back up assistant plus, Verizon tones or anything Verizon related app I feel good knowing im doing mankind a favor by eliminating an atrocious and insulting excuse of an app.

Plus...theres nothing better than the feeling you get when you toggle that wifi hotspot switch on, especially after you've just successfully upgraded and kept your unlimited data by enduring the long, grueling and degrading task of dealing with the incompetence that is Vzw customer service.
