[Galaxy Tab S General] knosso:
Dear Nauvho thanks for the post. I've always modded the cooling system of my laptops to reduce throttling but it never occurred to me that my Tab S 8.4 LTE could be so poorly engineered as well. The tablet simply felt slow to the point I simply was not using it anymore. So I started lowering the frequency on my totally degoogled and desamsunged Stock MM. This seemed to help a bit. I did not have anything thermally conductive at hand since I was not at home so I took one of those aluminium food containers (OK ok it's not aluminium but we all call it that way anyway), cut a sheet, made it straight and started folding it over and over until I got a 0.5-0.7mm thick and 1.5cm wide bar, the idea was to spread the heat as much as possible since we don't have anywhere to synk the heat. This slightly improved performance... But very slyghtly. Basically I ended up installing deadly just to be able to tweak the voltages. And now here we are with the following settings:

Max freq: 1800

Min: 250

Voltages:

1800 -44mV

1700 -44mV

1600 -44mV

1500 -38mV

1400 -32mV

1300 -25mV

1200 -25mV

Throttling points:

75C 1700

80C 1600

85C 1500

95C 600 (Well we need a safe guard somewhere).

Max performance 49.5GIPS

Average 48.2GIPS

Minimum 46.4GIPS

3D Mark Slingshot extreme scores 528 (454 for GPU and 1225 for CPU).

The temperatures in a stress test of 60 minutes jump between 82 and 85 and takes a good minute to start throttling.

Now questions:

Has anyone managed to bump the clocks of the GPU above 600mHz?

I wanted to replace my improvised metal thing with a hefty chunk of metal and the thermal tape I use for my raspberry py, however before opening it again I wanted to have a plan for the battery as well. I would like to put a couple of cells or whatever with a total capacity of 10A/h. Did any of you guys managed to put custom batteries? How do I inform the kernel of the new capacity? An alternative to this would be to build a sort of half cover containing a power bank so I slide the tablet in while in use. I would like to bump my scree on time from the current 4h to a more laptop style 15-20h.

Thanks again for this community. Please I wish you all a good day.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Marian94:
For me the best is lineage os with deathly and

CPU at 1300mhz

GPU at 100mhz-350mhz

This is best for battery life

I get over 5 hours of SOT watching youtube and obnline movies
[Galaxy Tab S General] Marian94:
I try this a while ago seem to work but there is a bump on back cover

Under is pc cpu thermal paste

And the pieces there are held from small super gluenon the side to not fall off

I buy the cooper from aliexpress
[Galaxy Tab S General] vratnik:
Thanks for the tip, the profile works good, 690 on Slingshot - not as many points as you got but I already have some apps installed, like fb, messenger, reddit etc.

I had to add thermal pad as well because the tablet was laggy before.

Now I have high battery drain with screen off - about 4% per hour. I am thinking about a battery-friendly adiutor profile to auto-switch when screen is off. Looking for some tasker solution, I've been long time away from root scene..
[Galaxy Tab S General] nauvho:
Yes its best to make two profiles, one for battery with minimum cpu at the very low frequency and one for on charger operation.
[Galaxy Tab S General] vratnik:
Got it, I created additional "slow" profile with all frequencies at minimum (100), governors noop, powersave etc. and saved it. With this profile the tablet is laggy as hell but I set it in Tasker to activate only when screen state is off. In screen state on, the "fast" profile is reactivated. Let's see what's the difference in battery usage with screen off.
[Galaxy Tab S General] vratnik:
Update - after automating the profile switching with screen off/on now my idle battery usage is almost none. (y)
[Galaxy Tab S General] glennza:
Hi, can you please tell me how you switch profiles with Tasker?

Figured it out. DA has its own plugin!
[Galaxy Tab S General] cicisbeus:
Today I opened my SM T800 and applied the thermal pad (graphite and silicone).

Restarted, carried out various prolonged stress tests, the temperatures never exceeded 80 °.

Rebooted into recovery, so without any external settings, I made a full backup. Twrp never exceeded 72 °, while before the change, after just 15/20 seconds, it exceeded 85 °.

Thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab S General] turikan:
Can you Tell me please which pads your ordered and the dimensions of the pad? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab S General] cicisbeus:
I used regular rubber and graphite pads, taken from an old video card.

If I remember correctly, I used 6 with the size of

10mm x 10mm x 1.5mm
[Galaxy Tab S General] Samlach 22:
Hi, I installed LineageOs 17.1 and I would like to know if there was a way to make Deathly Adiutor work on this unofficial version, indeed the kernel is not the good one on this version.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab S General] Hazou:
The only way to make it work is to port some patches over to the 17.1 kernel source. So, unless something does it for you, undervolting will not work
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
What and where to buy pads or copper. Working with lineage os 17.1? I have the t805 pad
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Lineage 14.1 deathly installed. Working great. Just missing to install better thermal pads.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
How did you solve this? I want one profile with screen off and one with screen on.
[Galaxy Tab S General] glennza:
Create new profile - State/Display State (on or off)

Add task - Plugin/Deathly Adiutor (select profile created in app)

Can set exit task to change to different profile
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Thank you.

So what are the best settings for maximum power and maximum battery life:)
[Galaxy Tab S General] glennza:
I'm using the LineageOS 17.1 rom, it doesn't have a lot of adjustments (no Deathly kernel). I just ramp up the cpu clock to 1700MHz when screen is on and down to minimum when off.

I think there are more customisations in this thread somewhere
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Interesting.

Ny cpu has maximum 1.8ghz.

When setting limit to 1.5 and undervoltage to 1012mV (-25) the temp reaches 85C after a while. But if I press just below the camera the temperature falls.

Guess I have to open it up and apply some thermal pad or glue some cooper.

Should I use the same thickness 0.5mm everywhere and just build layers if its not enough?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Why use thicker on cpu and thinner on other areas? Wont that just create gaps?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Added 0.3mm copper to connect all heatsinks and 1mm thermal pads (ec360 gold 14.5 W/mk). And 1mm pad in the deep area on the rear cover that connects to the cpu.

4478 score on work 2.0 pcmark (2.0.3716), had to download it manually from their website.

771 on slingshot (3dmark 2.2.4801)
[Galaxy Tab S General] ID000001:
Just wanted to remark that after overclocking, this tablet is somehow still relevant and fully usable after 7+ years. I am getting around 4200 on work 3.0, not sure how to compare to 2.0 but it appears very snappy

I basically just added thermal tape at the back with what I have lying around, then set graphic to always and set CPU to 1500 min with deadly adiutor.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pucci2:
I own the 805, with lineage 17, I would like to understand if I put the thermal pad as explained without touching the various values already set, voltages etc., do I still get benefits in terms of fluidity?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Yes you would get better cooling capabilities.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bustr85:
I've got L17.1 on my SM-t705 and i don't seem to have the voltage tab? Any idea why that is?
[Galaxy Tab S General] bluess57:
AFAIK Only deathly kernel will have the options for voltage control
[Galaxy Tab S General] Mietas2:
Hey guys. I keep revisiting this thread every time I use my trusty Tab S.

Today I finally decided to mod it but the process of doing it seems to be a bit confusing to me... I tried to find step-by-step simple instructions on the forum but after going through multiple tabs and downloading different bits of software I admitted to my defeat...

It can't be that difficult to put new ROM on an old tablet, can it now?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
No problemo on installing on old tablet.

Be aware, netflix dont work after doing it. Install magisk and install the sd version netflix from netflix support site.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Mietas2:
Oh well... I spent considerable amount of time to try and do it and eventually gave up. But Netflix is my main use on the tablet so I can't afford to loose HD support, so that puts an end to my modification of this tablet. I was afraid that would be the case so thank you for clarifying.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Seems like when you install custom mod you loosr drm keys or whatever. If can affect other apps as well. I learned the hard way.
[Galaxy Tab S General] wellersl:
Absolutely this old tab is still relevant! And it will be for as long as it keeps plugging along and I can still get batteries. I just did bite the bullet on a renewed Surface Go 2 and it's a gem. It's become my new daily driver, but only by a slim margin. Somehow, it just doesn't give me the same warm fuzzy as my old Sammy does.

Sorry for butting in. I return you now to your original thread.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Serpico27:
Thanks OP
[Galaxy Tab S General] SERGE4NT:
Do you have a custom kernel for undervolting, like here? This thermal mod is very good, but unfortunately it doesn't work on LineageOS 17.1/18.1 without a moded custom kernel.

Is there a custom kernel for LineageOS 17.1/18.1? Undervolting doesn't work on LineageOS 17.1/18.1
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
The physical mod will work fine.

The kernel stuff is a bonus.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SERGE4NT:
LineageOS 17.1 does not run smoothly as 14.1 deathly, undervolting could help.
[Galaxy Tab S General] drager2011:
Hi. I have a problem with a samsung tab s t805 tablet, If anyone can help me please.

1.if I enter force restore mode and after taking my finger off the power button it shuts down.

if I have my finger on the power button and use the arrow button in this menu, it moves up - down.

2.if I turn on the tablet, the logo appears and after 3 seconds it restarts and keeps restarting.

3.if I enter the software installation mode, it successfully completes this process and if finished it restarts and returns to problem 2.

4. I also checked with the battery and the problem persists.

Please see video attached.

Does anyone have any idea where the problem might be?? Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Pingu_3D:
Hi, can I just check... to make adjustments to the kernel settings you need to be Rooted?

Does Kindle work on rooted devices?

I plan to use Kindle alot on my T700, which I am now using daily thanks to 17.1, and I don't want to go down this route if I lose the use of Kindle. The tab runs pretty well and only crashes occassionally so far (after 1 day that is)
[Galaxy Tab S General] steso90:
Anyone tried to remove metal shield so thermal pad can touch CPU directly? Thinking of doing that and maybe push it to higher clocks
[Galaxy Tab S General] jassus:
How about wideline L1 on this LineageOS-14.1-Deathly rom? Can you still watch netflix in FullHD?
[Galaxy Tab S General] MrBitterBlue:
Hello everybody!

So, I figured out for myself best combination for maximum performance of my tablet (SM-T805)! I've used thermal pads as described here. Then I've tried almost 20 different ROMs and found one with best performance - it is IronRom 3.2 (Android 6.0.1). In this ROM you cannot downvolt, though. Then I've turned off ALL features which I no need, using "Package Disabler Pro+" and used all twiks with "Androoster" app. And now I've got zero lagging tablet! My daughter is super happy! Any video in 1080p60 works with no problems and lags at all. Games works perfectly. Don't really know if thermal pads help, didn't try throttling test, but this is the cure for me. Hope it will help to somebody too.​
[Galaxy Tab S General] AptechTD:
Hi thank you very very much.

I don't know how much thank you I can say to you because it's very big.

If you don't appear with ur solution I must buy other device with better hardware.

But now my Samsung T805 work like a charm 😀

So my step (simple than author, and it's work for me :) )

1. Wipe everything (remember backup ur data)

2. Install ROM 7.1 Vanilla (I see it's more smooth than Deadly version, my point of view 🙂)

3. (Most IMPORTANT) use THERMAL PAD paste any place hot temperature (espeical CPU place)

Enjoy 😚

I cannot post comment with my device before so now this comment is written by my T805 😀

Hope this helps for other. Thanks for effort author again.
[Galaxy Tab S General] hedpe:
Does anyone have links for what I should buy in terms of copper and thermal pads for SM-T700? Or does it not need this kind of fix?
[Galaxy Tab S General] blingli:
Is there a link of ROM 7.1 VANILLA？
[Galaxy Tab S General] blingli:
How to adjust the cpu clock?
[Galaxy Tab S General] shaglord:
Have you guys noticed a temperature (on Deathly) that the tablets starts to throttle?

I'm not sure I'm throttling or not. I'm keeping my min clock but maybe it's still throttling without dropping the clock.

You can set Deathly to keep a clock up to 95C but I'm pretty sure it slows before 95C.
[Galaxy Tab S General] glennza:
If you have a look at the first post (and linked video), it will tell you all you need to know.
[Galaxy Tab S General] shaglord:
Thanks. That throttling app managed to help me.

Undervolting didn't seem to make a difference at first but after settling at -125mV@1800 I managed to (in the summer heat) get 1800MHz for ~1min of stress test without throttling or crashing. This is good enough for me because I don't game. If I need more than 1min I can point a usb fan at the back of the tablet. :LOL: I did put a thermal pad on the cpu too.

Has anyone tried to attach the pad directly onto the cpu die? Is it worth it?
[Galaxy Tab S General] bluess57:
There is metal shielding covering the chips. I think it'd be troublesome to try and remove, so likely not worth it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] shaglord:
I'm surprised noone here has tried it yet. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Blaze Viper:
I have done this, but my first try was not good. I used thermal putty and used aluminum tape on the back cover in hopes of dissipating the heat but the temperatures rise so meteorically that I was only able to get to 1800mhz -100mv with GPU at 420mhz -100mv.

Also the stock thermal pad used is just pitiful. No damn wonder these tablets were sluggish when reviewers got their hands on them.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
How did you remove the metal? Brute force?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Blaze Viper:
Look at the heat spreader, now pay attention to the top left corner. Do you see that little circular dent in it? There are a few of these micro rivets holding it down, you simply need to pry it up but pay attention to not pry the 'frame'.

It does take a bit of force and be careful not to flex the board too much as to destroy the solder joints on this granny 5420. It will be worth it though, I have a 100x100x0.5 copper plate on order and I will make sure I run this at 2.1 ghz.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Thanks. What pad is that? I habe 805 and it have a green motherboard
[Galaxy Tab S General] Blaze Viper:
T800, so I guess non lte is blue. Another thing I noticed is that while 5420 is by no means efficient, the GPU is even hotter than the CPU. At 1400/480 when using 3d applications over a long period of time I have a few instances of downlcocking to 420mhz. Mali MP6 is a very intensive GPU but also at full clock speed, is decently capable of playing most games made before 2020.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bigdrago:
Is the mali gpu on the exonys?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Derbi75:
Hello,

Been reading the ROM forums for the past two days and i can't decide myself on which ROM would fit best my cousin's Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710FN) daily driver.

She would love to have dark mode along with Android 9 stock emojis. Edge Lighting Notifications would be a nice bonus too.

Which custom ROM would you guys suggest ? Possibly one running Android 9 and that is kind of stable for the most parts, i understand there is no perfect Pie port.

Thanks a lot for your help. :good:

A lot of us don't like HTC's TF3D.

@Marra2

You can probably find thos skins inside the forums of the programs mentioned above.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jorlin:
If you could now make the theme with that "flipp clock" like in touchflo, that would be awesome :D

Have you tried this?

http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php?topic=1654.150

or this?

http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php?topic=1654.150

If I feel to restricted with touchflo 3D, I might go with one of these two...

Especially that WM7 skin looks sexy... if you choose the HTC today screen backrounds and customize the menus a bit, this might come very close to touchflo (maybe)... but much more customizable.

I would suggest: Share your themes or tell us what you are running on your today screen (and how)!!!

P.S.:

Actually,... this is probably the closest as it can get to TocuhFlo :D... Can someone with a touch diamond please try

P.P.S.: :( .... it is only for QVGA...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zmob123:
No way

I aint tryin nothing!!! The touch flo 3d is sweet, moves with a second lag but makes up for it the way it fades the screen images.

2. I've been themeing, skinning, hacking, moding, etc for a long time, and this is the first theme I can manage to enjoy from all aspects withought freezing, or screwing up. You'll see when you get yours. You wont skin it, I do how ever would like to customize the flow itself.

Get one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radix999:
I don't mind the TouchFLO myself - but it is a bit sluggish at times.

I've tried SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 but it wasn't as slick and needed a bit of configuration to get it as functional as the default touchflo. If I found a good theme for SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 that I liked (and works in VGA) I might be interested, but they all seem to be aimed at QVGA only or look average imho.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PPC-Warrior:
I like the TouchFLO 3D alright. It isnt that bad. It is slow sometimes.

All I am waiting for is a "Home Customizer" so I can change the interface and most importantly reorder the tabs!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sunnycheng:
Yeah, I think TouchFlo3D is nice, and I will improve.

No offense, but I just don't see the point of getting a diamond if you are not going to use touchflow, considering it's price and all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sub69:
Don't think I'll be getting rid of TF3D anytime soon, but the Calendar is still dreadful.

Microsoft still only allows what, about two appointments in it's default plugin? And HTC have done the same with TF3D. There should at the very least be a Calendar tab in TF3D with an appearance similar to Today Agenda (simplified for the masses if necessary).

Never mind, I'm sure there's a way of getting PocketBreeze crowbarred in there somewhere...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] webvan:
+1, I've always used SPB PocketPlus instead of HTC Home but I like Touch Flo 3D, a few problems though :

1. Can only map programs from program page, not files/folders as with P+ - hopefully someone can figure that out. Would be nice to have several tabs too for different catefories of apps...

2. No battery bar at the top

3. I installed SPB P+ v4 but it messes up the close button even if this feature is not activated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flight23:
Yes, sign.

But for me first of all it would be nice if I could open Agenda One from TF3D, so this is TF3Ds primary calendar application.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] webvan:
Nice, how did you do that ?

@rorydaredkign - WAD2 seems pretty advanced, you can have several today pages ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
yep, the current one has pages too, but you have to have a button on each page to go to the next, so tf3d wouldn't work on it because its fullscreen and therefore youd be stuck on that page. However, WAD2, which had its RC1 released yesterday lets you swipe to change page, so the TF3D problem is solved.

Its great really, and only $10

Is there a way to get an icon pack on the stock launcher without root?..

I love the stock launcher and the others just aren't the same for me, ive tried action launcher and lawn chair.. haven't used Nova in years but I was never a fan to begin with. I bought a pixel to have the true Google experience... The only problem is some 3rd party apps don't have round icons. They do that thing where they shrink a square icon and shove it in a circle and it drives me insane... There is a pretty good pixel icon pack called pixel pie or something along those lines and the dev will actually make the icons you want. I'd love to be able to find a way to apply these to the stock launcher, any help is appreciated.
