[Q] cpu locked at 300mhz with quarx build 20 Feb - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was running cyanogenmod 10, quarx's build from 24 Sep 2012 just fine.
Then I upgraded to 2ndboot build (the 20 Feb 2013 one), and now my cpu is locked at 300 mhz.
In the performance options, the min is set to 300 and the max to 0.
I have searched the forums already, and found the approaching post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764477&highlight=300+mhz
Sadly, I can not change the cpu frequency even in the bootmenu. When I try to do so and reboot, the change is not made.
When I go back in the cpu frequency menu, the settings are reverted back to "boosted", I can not enable or disable the cpu governor.
It seems that the cpu is locked at boot.
I did the upgrade fine I think, wiping cache, dalvik, flashing the rom then gapps, then wiping cache and dalvik again.
The funny thing is, when I try to restore a nandroid backup that I did from my 24/09 rom, it brings me with an empty desktop (not restoring my
data and system at all) which is buggy and eventually crashes.
So I can still flash the 20 Feb 2013 2ndboot build from quarx, but it would be locked at 300 mhz...
Could you please help me ?
(Motorola Defy, green lens)

I would go all way back to stock then do it all again but remember you should factory reset data and wipe caches jus to be 100% sure that its a clean flash but back all ya apps 1st tho

found a fix !
Ok I managed to change the cpu settings in the bootmenu !
Let me explain: the cpu settings menu is too long for the screen, and it doesn't scroll when I reach the bottom.
So I changed options (from boosted to smartass for example), and then selected "blindly" the last line of the menu, to "Go back".
I tried again, this time not selecting the last line but the previous line (by guessing because the menu doesn't scroll...)
This time it helped and keeped the "smartass" setting !
I'm not so sure that this thing did the trick, it might also have to do with disabling the debug mode in the developpers options of the phone.
So after rebooting, the phone was smooth and fast as before... But one last weird thing is that in the performance menu,
min freq is set to 300, max to 1000 this time, but still on "boosted" instead of the "smartass" that I have selected in the bootmenu
Anyways, now it runs at 1000mhz, which is good enough for me !
I am sorry if I disturbed the forums with my question, then finding a fix myself so shortly, but the phone was almost unusable at 300 mhz.
cheers,
micmac

Cpu scaling that's work good and stable for now is "Interactive".
And yes, after changing things in Bootmenu's Cpu settings you need to choose "Save" before going back, or it won't keep your change.

Regarding flashing Glitch.v14-pre5 bootloop fix

Hi all
since i cannot post in Developer's apropriate forum i share with you here..
I have tried all ICS rom there is (not that many yet..) with Glitch v14 pr5 kernel, and they ALL give me bootloops... if not right away then after some period of time, and there is NO way to enter CWM
So i reflashed many many times in odin with different stock and other roms, but always with same result bootloops or a glitch screen logo that dont go any further.
Only if i go in recovery and format ALL options avalible and do a wipe data/factory reset afterwards + run the reset nstools zip avalible (off course only if you have been installing the glitch kernel )
Only then i get a error free install + i can boot in CWM and reboot whitout getting these errors......
Then im able to install > [ROM]SGS ICS 4.0.3 Doctor's ROM [01-12-2012]
and running on day 2 whit out any errors now..
Using nstools to oc and undervolt, is working fine selecting one of the 2 new goveneurs interactiveX or smartassv2 and DIDDLE deep sleep working perfect, BUT nstools wont tel you i always shows 0 in idle time (its nstolls fault) but voltage control EXTREME shows the right numbers
EDIT: Forgot to say that i pulled the externel sd card before going into CWM ! and do NOT deactivate nctools in app maneger !
Hope its ok posting this here ? plz delete or move else admins
Greets to all

[Q] Defy+ vsel and other questions

Hello!
Just switched to Defy+ from another android phone and I need few advices.
I couldn't get root access with original firmware (BL7).
Tried superoneclick (recommended and newest) and doom lord method.
Both have stopped at "sending 185 (or 9) zerglings" after finishing 145.
So I flashed rooted firmware (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed), installed 2ndinit 2.3 and installed Quarx CM 7.2
build sep 23rd.
The kernel is ge281be6 51 #1.
Second problem is with setvsel. It does nothing. I can set 1 or even 0 for 300 MHz and phone works fine.
Then I tried setXperia and app works fine.
However, since vsel option are available at boot menu, I figured why to use app and went to boot to set values.
Both apps see 4 clock domains and all 4 are used when settings are applied.
But, cpu boot settings show 3 options with fourth available with "gb kernel".
Setting 300/600/800/1000 allows only 3 different domains to be visible to system.
CM setting see 300/300/600/800 with 1GHz missing.
Is there any other kernel to be flashed or what am I missing?
The other thing that worries me is that setvsel and setXperia don't show vsel values set at boot menu.
Do those application read data from system or do they have their own set of default values that they list after install?
In other words, are vsel values set at boot sticking?
And additional question about CM 7.2: at random times OS looses connection to google account.
I reconnects back after a minute or two so it's not a big deal but I would like it to stick.
It's not a signal or baseband problem.
Internet connection during these drops functions normally. Starting gtalk restores connection immediately.
Lastly, what CM7 ROM do you recommend for Defy+?
There is a forrest of ROM's with, um, features not clearly written or explained so it's better to ask more experienced users.
I tried installing Jordan's ROM (from 25th I believe) but there is no boot and recovery displays errors (busybox related if i remember correctly).
Thanx!
Root access on stock firmware... Use the better and with HD recording ms2ginger if you need a stock based firmware
As for roms based on cm7.2, I like wiui by wajk for pure performance use builds by quarx or maniac
Remember to use roms based on gb kernel i.e defy+ builds
If you run into any problems while installing the ROM please refer to the excellent all in one beginners guide or post back here

Well, tried euroskank's cm7 from 26th october and vsel values (clocks too) set at boot stick as expected and setvsel reads them.
Google link drop is still present but I can live with that.

[Q] NOOB question

Please, forgive me if this isn't the right place to post this question, I just find the whole forum a little complicated for me to understand (obviously, I'm not a very intelligent person, not even intelligent).
So the thing is a video on YouTube about overclocking the Samsung Galaxy S4 up to 2.3 GHz and I flashed this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083
And I had Rom Toolbox and the app KTweaker (the app that came with the kernel) to set the CPU and when I used KTweaker to do so it worked perfectly but when I used ROM toolbox to edit the values my device rebooted, even the smallest change with Rom Toolbox made my phone reboot. I used to edit the CPU with Rom Toolbox before flashing this kernel so I don't think it's the problem.
After that, I wiped cache, data and dalvik and installed No-frills CPU Control but when I overclock my phone with it and I go to KTweaker app to check if both have the same values and the apps tell me different things
Also I noticed that, before wiping, I could go from 1890 GHz to 2300 with no trouble both max and min. After wiping, if I do that, my phone reboots.
Do you think you can help me? At this moment I don't know if my phone is overclocked or not.
Also I editted the GPU. Mainly because of hard gaming.
So what model do you have?
The kernel you flashed is for the Verizon version of the s4. You can't flash a kernel for another phone onto yours.

CM 12.1 - Freeze and Reboot

Hello, I flashed CM 12.1 and sometimes the system hangs and reboots, the phone is rather in good condition and it was stable on stock. Any ideas?
Model: SM G900F
CM: Latest Version - Not Nightly
Try changing the kernel gouvernor to interactive. If its on interactive try ondemand or else. If these tips don't help, try underclocking your phone or try to change the kernel.
Never done that is it noob-proof?
Okay, I have changed it to ondemand from interactive.
Mine reboots even if nothing is being touched I wiped and re-flashed and same issue, gonna check and wait for the results of governor change.
Update : rebooted after few minutes of changing.

Get a logcat of the reboot.

Changing kernel governor to performance seemed to do the trick I will make a catlog in case of a reboot.
Update: The phone rebooted on it's own again.
Here's the logcat I ran.

So If I have logcat running and the mobile will reboot will the information be saved ?

If you're doing it over adb from another computer/device yes it will. Through catlog on the phone I'm not too sure

I do not know if I performed it properly I ran adb catlog -v long than saved to file and uploaded, I do not know if you want me to keep it running until it reboots but gonna post that log anyway. If it doesn't have any good information I will run catlog overnight until it reboots. I've tried ondemand CPU governor and performance on ondemand I've got 5-6 screen freeze then reboot and the phone was taking a long time to boot so I took out the battery and it booted normally.
I'm thinking about dropping CM 12.1 and swappin' to Ressurection ROM to check if it will work possibly ?
Update: Same issue as CM 12.1 rebooting as well so it's not the issue of a ROM. Any suggestions ?

Installed this kernel but boot loop.
Update : Installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ar-googy-max4-kernel-1-0-tw5-linux-3-t3048773 and it runs fine but the phone also restarted I noticed it must be an over-heating issue because when I install a rom the phone is warm and reboots.
I fixed the issue by downloading Googy's kernel and changing the maximum freq to 2.3Ghz, I am not sure what was happening but it seems that the kernel was forcing a setting that my phone did not like on the CPU and after changing the CPU freq to it's maximum as the specification of the CPU shows stopped the phone from rebooting.
Update: Also the phone rebooted once again when I set the CPU Governor from Interactive to SmartMax then back to Interactive and no reboots.

Samsung SM-T560 WIFI Underclock?

Hi all
I've got a Samsung Tab E T560 wifi version (Quad-Core, 1,3GHz, 1,5GB RAM, WiFi, Android 4.4) and from the first day i got it it suffered from random reboots and freezing.Then i decided to root it and installed TWRP recovery on it,i didn't unlock the bootloader,well not that I'm aware of...Then i installed No-frills CPU Control/SetCPU app to undeclock it to try that and thats when i saw that the tablet was overclocked to 1300mhz max. and 1300mhz mini.,then i tried installing custom ROM that was just ported for this device but couldn't underclock it,i opened the cpu app and set the settings for mini. i set minimum and for max.1000mhz and tried also 1200mhz,granted root and it says successful but it stays the same 1300mhz mini.,1300mhz max,sometimes it gets the mini value on 700mhz,but the max. value stays on 1300mhz...
So long story,short...My question do i have to flash a kernel that supports overclocking and underclocking or is it just necessary to have root?Or do i need to unlock the bootloader.
I tried to find a custom kernel for this device but couldn't find anything.So what are my options as this device is not really so much supported.
Bottom line,i just need this Ta let to function withoit reboot i don't use it for games so it doesn't have to run on 1300mhz for me, just to be stable...
Thank you in advance
