[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
Great news. With dvfs disabled and now on high settings (it was on low by default on the first test) the fps is always between 40 and 50! Sometimes maintaining above 50. Here are some pics of gamebench with dvfs enabled and disabled.

The higher fps is with dvfs disabled, of course.

EDIT: Bad news, phone is getting burning hot right now even if I enable power saving mode. For people on SD is easy, disable dvfs and mess with thermal settings and gpu clock (guess it would work). For us on exynos, we need to ask devs to implement this on their kernels. I've been asking them but with no success so far.

EDIT 2: These are the current kernels for exynos and they don't support those features. If you are a gamer and you're rocking an exynos note 4, please, ask them to implement it!

So basically your whole test was on 1080p and there wasn't any stutter no fps skipping I get fps skipping but always on Tha half of the screen only if I raise the gpu voltage more than the normal numbers it reduces the effect...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
I did get some stutters, but they were really micro (DVFS On) and sometimes 25 fps but I couldn't even tell, to be honest. With DVFS off nothing to complain about performance, just the insane amount of heat.

And yes, always on 1080.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
Will try it on 1080p and with dvfs off but on normal conditions I get huge stutter it's like the half of the screen delays....if I still get stutter then I might have a weak gpu....sh#t.... oh and what app was that? That recorded the games performance?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
Gamebench for recording performance. You end up losing something like 5% fps, but it's great to track your performance. (free)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamebench.metricscollector

You can use GLTools for emulating other GPUs/CPUs and other tweaks like rendering half resolution. Also see real time FPS. Be careful when installing this app as it might bootloop your phone or something. It worked great for me (C version), just make some backups before installing. (paid but cheap)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.gltools

For just checking real time FPS you can also use 60 FPS meter that for some reason isn't on playstore anymore but you can look for its apk. For that app to work you need to tick HW overlay option on developer options.

You're welcome :highfive:

PS: I don't see this half screen thing you said. But don't assume your gpu is bad, it's probably ok, the software is just bad and we need to spend hours trying to improve it cuz samsung doesn't care about gamers, they just want to sell how incredible their screen looks and how long their battery lasts (too aggressive thermal), and maybe they're right, most people don't care. We're like 2% of all note buyers, maybe less.

I have N910F, games like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8 are smooth and fantastic after hour of playing, no frame dropping for me, in warm rooms and the device gets warm, not hot, normal temperature, but with a game like Stranger (highest graphic demanding game on android) i cant run it in the best settings, the framerate gets low, the resolution its just too big, so i lower the settings (the game has its own Resolution bar) and its playable, really good, and like after 1 hour of playing i can feel the device running little slower, so a 5 min to cool down to get normal, i start playing again. So im very satisfied with my device. Also I have 14 hours play time on Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, favourite game.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
OK so I tested it everything seems OK on low graphics and on 1080p was outside with 16C temp didn't get warm much and had no delays but the stuttering was still there as far as gltools goes I know about the app have bought it since it started will try to increase the voltage of the GPU and see again the half screen stuttering is happening when there is movement attacks etc when I'm still it won't happen and before the minotaur when you fell down at a column and fight some monsters there also I didn't get much at the start was the most visible when fighting the first monsters and when I try to move for the first chest... Anyhow thank you mate for the help!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrielgon:
Great results! I see that stutter you said, it happens with me too but it's ok, it's better then low fps. Increase the voltage and see what happens.

If you can play asphalt 8 for hours, with no frame dropping, on the native resolution and max settings..

man, you must have a golden gpu/cpu :)

my cpu is binned 13 which is excellent and yet I can not dream of playing asphalt 8 for an hour..

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
[MENTION=4912572]gabrielgon[/MENTION] Yeah it was the voltages I increased all the voltages even the CPUs just to be sure and the half screen stutter disappeared at last :D I increased the CPUs steps by 50 and the GPUs 60-70 I'm on Perseus v14 although the drain will be much more and I have not intedified where exactly is the problem CPU or GPU and which steps exactly it needs more experimenting hey on what ROM are you on? On x note I get the camera app unusable on 1080p on wanams ROM it was OK...

What do you mean your cpu is binned 13?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomashaker4e:
Full stock, no root :/ i have jumped from an Galaxy S3 and even that could play the Asphalt 8 without problems, i cant figure how you guys cant play it on the Note 4.

if you mean the exinos version, I am not sure, if/how you can read it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
Yeah for the exynos one :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitko76:
sorry mate, I am not sure if it is possible at all. It is quite important, I know it from experience.

generally, if your phone gets hot even from things, which are not very cpu intensive (like browsing, playing light games etc)

it is a sign of a bad cpu.

My first note 4 (which I returned) was kind of hot just from installing some apps and browsing the web. I checked the cpu and it was binned as 7 (also it has bad (dim) display).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephkateno:
Well my first bad sign so far is that I had to raise the voltages of CPU and GPU because on some select games I had some stuttering on stock voltages not sure yet if it was CPU fault or GPU my thoughts goes for the GPU but I'm not sure....that is a bad sign right? That I had to raise the voltages from stock in order to apply stability when playing?

EDIT: Scratch the GPU reference the CPU needed more voltage juice

EDIT2: Just found it it's called asv from 1 to 15 just like yours I have asv 7 a mediocre one but haven't heard anyone having higher than asv 8 so guys here listen if you need to check how good your CPU is built you can check it here at sys/kernel/debug/asv_group open it like a text file and see what your rating is from 1 to 15 the higher the rating the better your CPU is built so basically the better the CPU the less voltage it needs to run the steps and it can handle better oc someone with asv 1 probably couldn't run 1600mhz on the A53 but someone with asv 15 theoretically won't even sweat on this frequency...

excellent find for those with exynos cpu. I hope 7 on exynos is not the same as 7 on the sd, because it was really bad on my first device. Other than that it seems you are already rooted and tripped knox, so you have noting to lose and you can experiment with different kernels/settings.

The camera is stock, as you can see. Oh, wait, maybe I know why I don't see anything out of place on the camera. I've done that upgrade on the camera's software I saw somewhere. It's like the same same app but modified and then you just install an apk (I think, can't remember). Google it and you'll find it.

The app to downscale resolution is NOmone resolution changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer. You need to reboot twice sometimes to get everything in the right place.

Hi guys

I would like to ask just one question as I'm a bit confused :

"kroki" steps in Polish - sorry about that :)

The first column is pretty straight forward - all steps made during the day but what about second and third column?

I can just add that today I didn't use any exercise part of the S Health app
[Samsung Gear S] Fuyu Akusai:
I believe the second column indicates how many steps you were walking fast and the third how many steps you were running.
[Samsung Gear S] eclipse05x:
That would make sense but I'm not 100% convinced about it yet.

I guess, I'll have to try running only with pedometer and see.

I'll definitely let everyone know if I'll figured it out.

The other thing is that on Gear S after full day I had more than 16000 steps but S Health on my phone showed only bit more than 14000 even after sync... I believe I've seen posts about the same problem so I need to dig into it.

Pedometer in my Note 3 is deactivated.

Dont try to install CM11 with Safestrap!! It wont work, and you will brick your device! You have to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 and only then you can install CM11 safely.

If your device get FW 4.X.X, you lost root and ability to install custom roms through custom recovery (Safestrap, TWRP 2.8.4.0) - and only way to get the root again is rollback from 4.x.x to 3.2.7-8 (by amazon tech support), and then you can use only Safestrap, so no CM11 or Nexus 2.0.4 ROMs for FW 3.2.7-8!

Everything has seemed pretty clear up to now, but I am trying to understand what I should do next? I have Safestrap 3.72 beta installed and I'm running off of a backup of stock running in ROM-Slot 1.

Do I need to wipe rom slot one, remove recovery and uninstall Safestrap? Then install TWRP? Can I take a backup of my current ROM Slot one and use it in TWRP. I am looking for a good install post or video for installing TWRP 2.8.4.0 on KFHDX. It appears that TWRP does not use the concept of ROM slots but actually wipes the main system (that has been backed up to the builtin recovery area?) Then installs an image on the main system? I understand basically what Safestrap is doing, but not TWRP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jeryll:
You are on compatible firmware so dont complicate things so much :) If you want to understand how Safestrap or TWRP itself work - google is your friend, you will certainly find plenty of information about how things works: here is little introduction about differencies between them, not all of course...

And here is little something from ggow about how to install twrp and remove safestrap, you can later find safestrap slot image files in data/media/safestrap - and after you have functional TWRP 2.8.4.0, you can delete safestrap folder safely and free some space taken by these image files

Normal way is how TWRP 2.8.4.0 works (IMHO) - only one big playground managed by mighty TWRP recovery always accessible by shortcut when you made mistake and need to repair something...

Safestrap uses multiple slots for (un)modified stock roms simply because is too dangerous to play with stock rom on systems with locked bootloader, so you can play with slot rom instead of stock where small mistake leads to different types of bricks - some repairable, some not

And yes you can make a backup of your current ROM and use it later with TWRP, but here comes catch, Safestrap only backups system and data partition, not boot (contains kernel), so I recommend after you install your preferred CM11 or Nexus 2.0.4, restore only DATA part of your backup

Hi evereveryone...

So isn't there any dev who can make rom for all of us and even have some time for humanity...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
Like most people, usually when I go to install a new rom, I just boot into recovery and format system/data/cache...etc before the installation. Unfortunately, this method is not as thorough as I would like and a lot of stuff is left behind. Therefore, I'm looking for a method that essentially erases everything but the bootloader. From what I understand, the only way to accomplish this is through adb.

So I have a few questions:

What are the adb commands to delete everything in preparation of a completely fresh install? - rom,kernel,recovery,radio etc...

Will this affect essential parameters such as booting into the bootloader, battery stats,charging,hardware interface, etc?( I would like to avoid messing with anything like that)

These are the following files that I have:

cwm_recovery.img

stock_rom.zip

custom_kernel.zip

stock_radio.zip

After deleting everything, I assuming the first thing to install would be the recovery image - from which the remaining zip files can be installed(in the order listed?).

How do you install the aforementioned recovery.img using adb?

What are the adb commands to push the remaining zip files onto the internal sd card?(no external sd available)

But if I deleted everything, would an sdcard still be mounted? If not, what are the adb commands to remount everything needed for the remaining items?

Lastly, is there a better way of doing this?

I know it's a lot to cover but after searching through many forums and blog posts, I can't seem to find any info on doing exactly this. Just bits and pieces about adb commands and troubleshooting botched installs of various devices. So any info would be appreciated.
