Where did my fourth vSel go? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently, I've noticed that the Overclock settings in the bootmenu on my Defy+ only offer three clock speeds and three Vsel settings. It always used to have four. CPUSpy shows four clock settings: 300Mhz, 600Mhz, 800Mhz and 1000Mhz whereas the bootmenu only shows 300MHz, 600MHz and 1000MHz. Is anyone able to suggest how I might get the missing one back in the bootmenu?
I'm running bootmenu 1.1.8, as installed by Defy2ndint 2.3 (thus also recovery version 5.0.3.1).
SetVsel is no help because it causes the phone to reboot. I've had a look at this thread but the "fix" seems to involve changing quite a lot of stuff, not all of which seems to be particularly relevant to the CPU speed & voltage settings. In particular, it installs multiboot which I've always preferred to steer clear of, having no need for it (I'm a boring person who is quite happy with a largely stock ROM). Mind you, the touch bootmenu does look nice, though...
I also had a look at this single posting from the extensive CM7.1.0 thread. I've tried copying the overclock.conf and overclock.sh files from that posting on to my phone, but I still only get 3 CPU clock speeds showing in the bootmenu.
Anyone got any better ideas?

This title is so funny :laugh:

Which kernel are you using?
Froyo has got 3 settings gingerbread 4

I'm on Gingerbread.
I've got to the bottom of it: version 1.1.8 of bootmenu only supports three CPU speeds. I think that's because it's part of a Cyanogenmod release which is based on the Froyo kernel and therefore only supports three CPU speeds. I previously had version 1.1.0 which comes from somewhere else - I'm not sure where. I installed it, along with CWM recovery 5.0.3.4, from a zip file via recovery, but I can't now remember where the zip file came from. Fortunately I still had a copy of the zip file to hand, and re-installing it gave me back my 4 CPU speeds.
I'm still quite tempted to try that fix for SetVsel on Defy+, though...

Now this is odd...
I installed the SetVsel fix, which included a lot of other stuff that I wasn't sure I wanted like touch bootmenu and multiboot. Anyway, it installed OK and SetVsel did work, but I decided I didn't like the rest of the baggage, and having got to the bottom of the missing fourth CPU speed in the bootmenu mystery, I didn't really need SetVsel. So I did a full CWM restore - of everything: system, data, recovery, bootmenu, the lot. And there I was, back where I expected to be...except that SetVsel still works! How did that happen?

[Q] Overclocking Issue :( any ideas?

so im fairly new to android (converting from iphone) and bought myself a wildfire to check it out. So far ive used unrevoked to root and flashed the wildpuzzle ROM, now im attempting to overclock the processor. ive saved the 0163_768mhz_cpu_speed_v1.zip to my PC, copy to SD, installed from reboot menu and downloaded setCPU. But the max is still 528 mhz on setCPU :/ any ideas on where im going wrong?
If that is not working, first, flash the 0130 file (kernel), then try 0163. Also, if you flash 0130, you dont need 0163, and, can set the speed as you wish from within SetCPU.
Try it out.
BTW, I hope by "Installed from Reboot Menu" you mean entering into Recovery Mode, Selecting Install Zip from SDC, and selecting the particular Zip file.
One last thing, remember to take a Nandroid backup before flashing any overclockable kernels.
yes thats what i meant
I tried the 0130 file, had to unistall and re-install setCPU but is now running at 768mhz! thanks for the help 3xeno
That's great, but, just as an info, I would not recommend keeping it at 768. Most phones are unstable at that, and, performance actually drops. Try 710 or 729.
With the overclocking done, PSX4droid works well?

[ROM][BL1.1][BL1.2] GTabCombOver 3.4.2

Please post issues in the GTabCombOver Q&A Thread.
GTabCombOver is an improved version of GTabComb, a Honeycomb 3.0.1 ROM by zyhong. It is a G Tablet ROM, but people have reported that it works with the Hannspad and the ZPad T2 as well. Here are zyhong's original instructions:
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.
Install instruction:
1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom
2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.
3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.
4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.​
Change Log:
3.4.2:
rajeevvp's memory tweak.
Flashback 8.1's fix for external sd cards and usb disks.
1.1:
Fix for wifi not loading on bootloader 1.1.
3.4.1:
Updated to latest version of Maps application.
1.2:
Resolution fixed (only the 1.2 edition went out with the wrong resolution set)
CPU frequency restored correctly after sleep
3.4:
Fixes from AdamComb 0.3:
Improves bluetooth
Improves gps
Updated the Market (fixes download issues)
Updated all the other apps that have newer versions
1.2:
Clemsyn's honeycombtrial5 kernel, which greatly reduces the Sleep of Death problem

As far as I know, no one has tried it on anything other than a g tablet, but if GTabComb 3.3 worked on the ZPad 3G, GTabCombOver probably will as well. If you would like to give it a try, let me know how it goes for you.
thanks, i tried gtabcombs and flashback before but they would get sluggish on me until i needed to reboot. so far everything is fine for me on this rom. i did lower the dalvic vm heapsize though.
I'd been using Bottle of Smoke and then Flashback for a while. But Flashback kept crashing on me (shutting down randomly).
So far, this is running smoothly. But, then, I've only had it on the device for about 14 hours. Looking forward to seeing how stable it stays.
(I just wish there was a way to get the camera working on Honeycomb ROMs.)
subscribing for sure.
very excited! thanks for doing this!

Flashback crashes on me whenever it tries to access location services (Maps, etc.).
EDIT: As a matter of fact, so does GTabCombOver. I just installed it and it crashes as soon as Google Maps tries to acquire my location.
Yeah, so did the other ROM. Seems something broke when google updated the new maps app.

Is there any plans to bring 3.1 to the gtablet.. or is there some kind of driver issue... because no one as done it.
I've been waiting for someone to continue work on GTabComb. So thank you for your effort.
Here are my experience with GTabCombover 3.4.2 [BL 1.2]. Let me know what I can do to help make it better.
1. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik cache then install and reboot.
2. Login and setup. It auto restore app previously installed on the account.
3. All the apps ran fine. Random freeze and lag.
4. Tried it with and without ADW Launcher EX. Still lag randomly, even while configuring the launcher.
5. gTablet has a 1GB ext3 partition created with the help of CWM (or NVFlash, can't remember).
6. Gallery works. Camera does not.
Has this rom been overclocked as it was done by default on GTabComb?

I had that happen to me once, but a power off and on fixed it. Could you try that and see if it works for you? If not, could you run GetLogs right after the crash to see if that can provide me with any useful information?

It uses the same default overclock as GTabComb. On the other hand, it uses a different CPU governor for the 1.2 version, since the kernel on that version doesn't support the governor that GTabComb used.

Which website would that be though? I think whoever wrote that it has 3.1 probably got confused with 3.0.1 which is what all g tablet honeycomb versions are.
I've been using gtabcombover for about a week and it has been pretty solid. However, it does seem to use quite a bit of memory. Last night it got *very* slow. I started Memory Booster just to see what the memory situation was and it reported that I only had 2% left (98% used). I killed all tasks and got it down to about 88% used which made it responsive again. But, it shouldn't be using that much memory, should it? After a fresh boot it shows 55% used. Again, is that normal for all ROMs? I never had Memory Booster installed before so I have no idea what I had on my previous TnT 4.40 ROM but I never had the slow down that I had last night either.

Overclock settings lost, some help please.

So, I'm having this issue with my nexus 7, can't seem to find a post about this problem anywhere on the internet, much less XDA forums. Using SetCPU (Or Rom Toolbox Pro, or both at once with the same settings) I can't get overclocking or underclocking to work for long. The settings keep resetting themselves every time I turn the screen on and off, and every time I reboot the device. Yes, I always set the values on boot, and when powering back on I wait for the SU notification, but even both apps show the settings changed back to stock 1.3ghz.
I have tried doing this with stock 4.1.1, Glazed Jellybean 1.2; resetting the bootloader, recovery, and os back to stock and wiping out the sdcard; I have tried the stock kernel for underclocking; trinity kernel Clemsyn's elite kernel both the 1.8ghz and 1.5ghz for overclocking; and yet I keep on running into this problem.
If I keep the screen on the overclock settings stay, however if I underclock to 1.0ghz the cpu speed keeps jumping to 1.2ghz anyway.
So, anyone with any idea of what to do, or any overclocking experience, help would be appreciated.
Device: Nexus 7
Android versions tested: Stock Android 4.1.1 & Glazed Jellybean 1.2
Kernels tested: Stock, Trinity Kernel, Clemsyn's Elite Kernel 1.8ghz overclock & Clemsyn's Elite Kernel 1.5ghz overclock
Edit: Both supersu and superuser with updated binaries result in no change; updating busybox didn't help either.

are you using superuser or supersu? and is your busybox updated? heres a flashable supersu, flash it, boot, open the supersu app, update your su binaries if it asks. then get stericsons busybox updater free from the play store, open it, then update your busybox. reboot, then try ti set your cou speed.

No, but I can go grab it with my play store credit if you think it will really help, I figured that most cpu controllers use the same system of controllers and such for setting cpu speed.

I'd hate to make you buy something, but if you do try it you'd have to uninstall setcpu. you can at least try it and return it if it doesn't work. you've got 15 minutes.

Funny, I have been debating on buying trinity kernel toolbox for a few weeks not.
Well, I tried it out; rebooted thrice, left the screen of for over 3 minutes, the settings stick, my nexus7 is happily underclocked to 1.0ghz right now.
Now to restore my backup, and get a nice overclocking kernel going.

Afternoon All,
I'm looking for a little bit of guidance pls.
I've overclocked both my GS3 and my Nexus 7, but of reboot i loose my overclock as it sets back on default.
I've tried various apps to try and manage, incl STweaks and trinity, to no avail.
I have read its something to do with the Power HL (correct me if I'm wrong) but i can no longer find that post.
its doing my head in.
Any on got ant ideas pls?
thanks.

Random soft restart problem

So, I've searched the forums, and I haven't seen any posts about my specific problem.
Before I begin, I will confess that I am a flashaholic (there, I said it!!!) and I suspect that the booting problems that I encounter has something to do with the number of times that I have flashed new roms, kernels, and scripts. (I think that scripts are the main culprit)
Now, here is my issue. While using my phone regularly, the phone would begin to delay, and then perform a soft boot. This has happened while I have been playing games, installing apps, browsing the Internet (using Firefox/Dolphin Browser), and most recently, simply setting up my phone after a FRESH INSTALL of my main gb rom listed below. Sometimes, it DOES boot properly, but usually not. Rarely, it does seem full reboots instead of soft reboots.
Another twist to my problem is the fact that usually my phone would get stuck in a boot loop, replaying the booting animation until I do a battery pull, or if I do still hard restart. Usually, after I restart, the phone gets stuck on the white "HTC EVO 4G" splash screen. I have even left it overnight, and it was still on the splash screen when I awoke. I can still boot into recovery and flash a new rom, losing my data that was not backed up. (Just a side note, I am getting tired of starting Tip-Off from the beginning, since my progress doesn't backup in TB)
Thirdly, I have tried re flashing different roms, like SOS+, and I have had the exact same result. This definitely is NOT a problem with the rom! MikG is a great rom, and it was the first rom that I tested when I first rooted my phone. My phone has been rooted since February, and I only begun to experience this issue for the past 3 weeks.
Lastly, I have noticed another bug with my phone while using MikG. I would turn my screen on, and all of my 7 screens would be blank, my apps loaded to the SD would be missing, and I am unable to reinstall any of them, Superuser would stop working, Google Apps would stop working, my phone would be disconnected from my linked email accounts, and I wouldn't be able to reconnect to any of them due to my Gapps being broken. I tried flashing my GB apps, and when I rebooted, I was greeted with a "process.android.acore has failed" or something.
The only reason that I haven't posted this question in themikmik.com is because I know that my problem isn't exclusively a problem with the rom, but with my phone.
I know that big have said a lot, but please help, for this is MORE than annoying.
EDIT: I forgot some details. I am using Smelkus 4.3 recovery (and yes, I triple wipe everything) and I have tried using this rom with the stock kernel, and more commonly with the Anthrax kernel. I tried overclocked, and I tried running at regular speed (998MHz). I tried flashing using TWRP 1.1 (not the touch screen version).
P.S.: When I think about it, I didn't begin to see these random problems until I tried using TWRP for the first time. I got stuck of the splash screen upon my first use, and my reboot problems started from scratch that time.
P.S.S.: Hooray for my first post! Took me two weeks for find something "worthy" of a new post...

What size is your sd card.
Is it partitioned? And to what? ext-3? 4?
Perhaps a sd-ext repair in recovery is in order to fix part of your issue.
My sd is 32gb, and not partitioned. I have 12gb worth of data, and I have honestly procrastinated transferring the files to a computer to partition it. However, my 8gb card that came with the phone wasn't partitioned, and I never had that problem.
Then again, you might be right, since my card is relatively new. But would the card really affect how my phone handles apps, even when no apps are installed to it?

Hmmm...true, if no apps are on sd card....however, its easy to partition so perhaps try it.
Another thing that comes to mind is, battery. Maybe your soft reboots are due to battery contacts dirty/old/not contacting and for a split second, your battery disconnects, then reconnects, making the phone think the battery was pulled and reinserted? Just throwing some ideas out there since you said you wipe properly and it acts the same on different roms.
You said you were using smelkus---which is an excellent recovery ( I use that also), so I dont think your recovery isn't doing its thing.
I'll try partitioning it and I'll monitor what happens. Unfortunately, since I cannot exactly replicate any of the occurrences, it will truly be hard to tell if the problem is fixed.

That's a thought. I really don't want to buy yet another sd card, so I will try a fix before I do that. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Also, it is common for me to have the phone freeze and reboot while using ANY ICS rom, especially when using something that requires gps, like Google maps, Go Weather EX, or of course, GPS navigation. It is just me?

Dont think that's common...let me ask you, have you tried a different governor such as interactivex or smartass with deadline as a scheduler?
Are you undervolted at all? My phone hates to be undervolted by very much, but that's my phone, yours may react differently.
I usually run the ondemand governor, max 1.037GHz - min 128MHz with the Anthrax kernel. Is under clicking the same as undervolting? And if not, how would I do that?
Also, I have tried interactiveX governor, and not smartass.

Underclocking and undervolting are not the same.
Looking at your 1.037 overclock, perhaps your phone cannot handle that. You stated you have problems with the standard 998 max?
When I ran Anthrax with MikG, I had no issues with it and then again, knew nothing about undervolting until I went to ca1ne's underworld kernel which is undervolted in and of itself.
I wouldn't start messing with voltages until your other issues are resolved as I dont think with Anthrax, it's undervolted to begin with.
Yes, I did have problems even on the stock kernel from MikG. I reflashed, and I was loading my widgets, placing my apps, and it got stuck rebooting when I tried to replace the original talk.apk with the ICS version from the SOS+ rom, which I ALWAYS do (so I doubt that my actions are the true cause of the problem).
Undervolting does sound like a good suggestion. I will read up about it extensively before I attempt to do anything. (I did before I tried rooting and OC'ing because I don't have the money to replace my phone, which no longer has a warranty.

Just re-read your first post.
You started having issues about 3 weeks ago? Was that about the time you got your new sd card?
I had the card for about 2 months now. But I wouldn't doubt that it is causing the problem

I see.
I guess my suggestion would be....
Reflash smelkus.
Save anything you need to save on phone/sd card.
Partition sd card to ext -3, 1028 partition size, 0 swap (partitioning sd card will format your card, so save stuff)
Wipe all except sd card and reflash preferred rom of your choice.
In other words...start over. Gotcha. I'll try it in a few and get back to you.

ICS Rom - Deck's latest ICS build
So, I partitioned, and I am now staring at the progress bar as my 12GB of info transfers from my computer to my phone. This is why it took me so long to partition, because I did not do it while the card was empty. Anyway...back to waiting....
Also, I am trying ca1ne's v0.8 underworld kernel. I tried it before, and I found it to be a little choppy. I'll see what happens now. Who knows, I just might keep it. But, I have gotten used to the way my phone works with the anthrax rom, and I think that my phone got used to that too

Now you can take advantage of roms that utilize DarkTremors a2sd which will symbolicly link apps to the sd-ext you created thereby freeing up internal memory big time.! Not to be confused with the apps2sd that move part of the app to sd card....no need for that anymore.!
i.e...if you are using DarkTremors a2sd, do not move apps to sd card...follow? DT will do it automatically for you.

[Q] CPU speed issue (?)

Ive recently flashed the latest 4.3 ROM from Quarx. (previously I was using an old version of the 4.1 ROM from Quarx too).
First it was _really_ slow, after a while I figured out, that the CPU was reporting 0MHz maximum and 300 MHz minimum. The problem was, that the CPU speeds were in the bootmenu 300,600,1000,1000. To fix it, ive changed it to 300, 600, 800, 1000.
Now the phone is super fast, but I think there is some problem with the CPU speeds. If the screen is off, it runs at 300, but if I turn the screen on it will always run at 1000 - even if the CPU load is like 10%. Ive tried boosted and smartass governors, stock and lower Vsel values, no help.
Is this normal? If not how can I fix it?
thanks
Strange. It shouldn't be stuck to 1000 when screen is on, in fact it should increase to 1000 when there is some interaction. Try starting fresh.

Did you flash with 08.01 or with 09.17 rom?
I tried both and only 08.01 is working fine for me, I had problems with the 09.17 ( My hardware buttons didn't work right....)

If hardware buttons didn't work, it is usually indicative of a full system partition/wrong gapps/too big zip.

Will these steps result in a complete reinstallation? Ive backed up all data from the phone, so I can wipe everything.
Copy the zip file to your SD card.
Reboot and enter recovery.
Wipe cache + wipe data + wipe dalvik cache.
Install the zip file from the SD card.
Wipe cache + dalvik cache again
Or do I need to do something else for Quarx's latest ROM? like install a different SBF or kernel? Ive rooted (and flashed an .sbf) this phone like 2 years ago.. Before 4.3 I was using a 4.1 build for a long time.
You need to flash a new 4.1 build which has TWRP and then flash 4.3, because the old CWM binary does not support 4.3. I suggest you do a full wipe with defy full wiper or AROMA wiper.
