[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Mahmood02:
I just recently rooted my L9 (finally been wanting to do it since I got it) and the main reason I did this was so that I could move system apps to the SD card to I could download large games. Is there a way to directly download from Play Store to SD card or do I have to go through the SD card? Also what apps would be good for this? I'm currently using this file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm. Can I do it with this app or is there another I have to get?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] tor974:
Try using Link2SD, I remember that there is an option to install apps on sd automatically, and you can delete, move or freeze apps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
I installed I9300XXUGMJ9 and tried to root using CF-root-6.4 & CF-AUTO-ROOT using Odin 1.85 like works on every other version I've tried.

But Odin shows everything was successful and in the settings under device info it shows "Modified" But every app I try that needs root says it isn't rooted including the root checker app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
1) Flash recovery (Philz or TWRP)

2a) Flash root zip from Philz recovery thread

or

2b) flash pre-rooted Mj9 from general

Please search before posting. asked million times already.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
I don't want a custom rom because I just want to update official release through Odin to keep all my apps and settings, so can you please link me to the easiest way to root over OFW?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sorry, no. I don't do "links". I already told you what to do in my last post. So try using search to find the Philz thread. It'll be good practice for you. Otherwise, that would be twice you haven't used search when you could have / should have.

Anyway, I never said anything about custom. I said pre-rooted. If you can flash the unrooted one via odin without reset, you can flash pre-rooted via recovery and not reset. Odin doesn't do anything special to prevent the need for a wipe you know?!

Probably should read General > Sticky roll-up thread > Understanding basics before rooting thread too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Lad:
I already searched "Philz thread" But the results are nowhere near clear what I'm looking for and that's why I'm asking, And I don't do pre-rooted roms because you have to clear everything in recovery and reinstall using TB which is just a fück on when the official rom is fine so flashing the root is the best if I can just find out if it's possible yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paltik:
Use CF-AutoRoot and then reinstall SuperSU. That's what worked for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its a recovery which you can flash root from. Its in the development section and searching for "philz" will find it.

It is also linked in the "basics" thread I suggested you read

This Simply isn't true and I've tried to tell you that. This again, is explained in the basics thread. You really should read it. All your questions are answered and it will fill in the gaps in knowledge that are evident in this thread

[Nexus 5 General] stremax:
level cleared!!

just to level you up

all CPU are nt the same, even if a very strenght process control there always be difference between two unit, the CPU are not matched pair

so there are some of them able to work on lower UV other no, some can handle overclocking better than other and so on

if you have a faster cpu PSV=4 you could have better perfomance in terms of overclocking or battery usage lowering voltage

for sure even in case of lower binning your N5 will fly...:D
[Nexus 5 General] BravoMotorola:
Yeah I'm pretty sure the difference isn't huge yet I think on the N4 the difference from 0-4 was big enough to cause concern. I had an N4 with a 0 (or 1 before 4.3) and its battery life wasn't as good as the one with a 3. I probably got on average 15-30 minutes more, and of course you can under volt a lot more on a better chip which can make a pretty big difference.

Man, this sucks, I'm the slow kid. I got the PVS 2, returned .9xx. I checked it earlier, it's being a little strange though - sometimes the command works and logs all the information, sometimes it won't log anything at all. Hopefully when I check again later it'll give me a higher binning like the other guy. Probably not though. I did get fastest on my N4, so I guess you can't win them all.

I feel like these values are completely useless. I am running a -100mv undervolt with no issues on a PSV2 chip, I see many people crashing at a weaker undervolt with PSV 3 and 4.
[Nexus 5 General] Davies_90:
PVS 1.... Now bear in mind I'm relatively mindless with this sort of information what does this mean ?
[Nexus 5 General] SetiroN:
That way of measuring undervolt is wrong, you're applying that -100mV to different voltages to begin with: -100 with PVS2 (which starts from 1050mV at 2.3) still equates to a higher overall voltage than -50 with PVS5 (975 at 2.3).

That said, automated binning isn't perfect, it can't assess CPUs with exact precision and every piece of silicon will always have some unwarranted variance; it's entirely possible that a lower rated one actually manages to run at lower voltages, although less likely.
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
The STOCK voltages differ out of the factory based on binning? I have never seen anyone mention this before.

Using faux stable 002m kernel with settings intellidemand, eco off, mpdecision off, intelliplug on, multicore power saving off, Intelli-Thermal on 80/85.

Lowest stable voltage is tested by setting it using Trickster Mod and use frequency lock on min at 300 and max at test frequency, run Antutu stability test, power off (no reboot button on stock rom :( , it seems to be required to lock max freq properly.) Power on, it seems passing Antutu stability test is easier than booting Android on most frequency steps, where I have to increase 12.5mv on many frequencies just so it can boot. Run Antutu benchmark. During the test, I need to factory reset many times due to crashing at Antutu or booting Android when the Google logo stuck spinning that requires clearing data in TWRP.

Finally, I add another 12.5mv on freq below 1574400 except those that are only -50mv to reach a stable state when I reopen back the max freq headroom.

Mine is PVS 2 aswell. Bought it from CPW on the day after release day because they refused to sell it to me because they lacked a registered price lol. Rooted it myself the day after before CF-Root came out via ADB insecure because I couldn't run the phone without restoring apps with titanium.

I was originally gonna post a thread with the same old manual method but CF-Root thread was made so I thought a manual method was pointless.

Seems you have N5 as well.

Seems like no more banter in S3 general thread lol.

Edit: -50mV seems stable all the way, at least relying on AnTuTu but the short time of stability test doesn't help much in getting close/proper values. I run -25 just to be safe.

[Nexus 5 General] Turbotab:
There seems to be a bit of confusion, about the significance of the PVS value. They relate to Process Corners, and in part to threshold voltage, there is a lot more to it than that, but I'll keep it simple.

So far we've seen PVS values of between 0 to 6.

0 seems to indicate a SLOW corner, this means that its leakage current is lower than a 6, but its timings are slower. In theory, this chip should be good for power consumption, but offer less overclocking potential.

So, 6 means a FAST corner, this means that its leakage current is higher than a 0, but its timings are faster. Again, theoretically this chip offers good overclocking potential, at the expense of possibly higher power consumption.

Firstly, don't worry about it, all these chips have to pass Qualcomm's quality assurance, and lastly a higher PVS number is not necessarily the best, it depends on your priorities.
[Nexus 5 General] Huskehn:
PVS of 2 here. Going to try -50 mV and see how stable it is.
[Nexus 5 General] sbarbi:
Another 0 PVS :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] ottoman2:
But the kernel sets the voltage according to the PVS value:

Doesn't this directly translate to lower temperature and less battery drain with higher binnings?
[Nexus 5 General] Turbotab:
No, we must remember. Power P in watts is equal to the voltage V in volts, times the current I in amps:

P(W) = V(V) × I(A)

The 'FAST' (HIGH PVS #) chips have a lower Threshold Voltage, meaning they can run lower VDD (power supply voltage). But suffer higher leakage, meaning the current increases. It would interesting for a site like Anandtech, to take a PVS 0 & a PVS 6 and measure the actual power consumption coming from the voltage rails, and see how much difference this actually makes.

Do these PVS binning classifications mean anything in terms of SoC build quality or overall power efficiency? (i.e. can we tell any user noticeable caveats based on these bins?)

I've read Paul's assessment of CPU Binning and the fact a lower bin requires more voltage @ boot sounds like lower bins are less efficient even if they "level out" during normal operation? Is this correct?

Admittedly I get pretty paranoid with replacements.

[Nexus 5 General] afunyun:
Theory is that one of the purposes of the binning is to set BOOT voltages. Lower binned CPUs tend to need a higher voltage to do the intensive boot operations, but can then be undervolted after that. The kernel you're using sets the voltages after that boot stage.

[Nexus 5 General] venturizhou:
Well because due to binning process the voltage that we start with is different. So I'm assuming that you are running 2265 with 975mV?
[Nexus 5 General] Martin-Doc:
Correct. -100mV puts me into an instant reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] venturizhou:
Right so I think the reason why lower PVS can perhaps UV is that they start at a higher voltage anyway.

I'm PVS 4 and I can only UV by -50 but that puts me with 2265 @ 950mV

-75 mV is unstable

and -100mV is immediate crash
[Nexus 5 General] Martin-Doc:
In that case, I don't see much reasons to be upset about a low PVS, nor giving this parameter any significant importance. Our devices are 2 PVS steps away, and have only a 25mV voltage difference at the lowest stable voltage configurations.

Can't find pvs.
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
From what I understand, the higher the PVS is, the lower the stock voltage is set. But then, the lower the PVS is, the higher you can undervolt it. I could do -75mV, and even -100mV didn't crash either but thought it wasn't safe going so far (I'll test again with no fear after what I've readed here), when I tested on PVS 1.

So, I don't get the benefits of higher PVS unless you go only on stock values. They're pretty much the same, can't see a big difference after all.
