[Q] i9505 OVERCLOCKING - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there,
i wrote a mail to tegrak, yet didn't get a reply whether he's planning to implenet support for the kernel on i9505 devices.
>>has anybody of you overclocked his s4? if yes, how?

No why would u need to overclock ?? antutu bragging ??

Even if he implements it in his app the stock kernel doesn't support it anyways.
Wait for some custom kernels which allow for over clocking I'd say.

nope, because of the annoying lags for example when returning to homescreen or when scrolling in different apps or system settings or stock browser. on my note2 i used to lock gpu clock to highest 533mhz and there were no more lags, everything "buttery".
currently on xxuamdn using nova launcher.
hope the scrolling will be more fluently with further updates. where are the benefits of "project butter"?
anybody else experiencing lags and craving at least for a gpu lock? =)

yeah, thats what i tried, also turning off. but it doesn't help. still lagging. think thats the software..
even my s2 and note2 had way less lags. impossible that the s4 has - with double powerful processor..
so waiting for new samsung update. or wanamlite or sth like that..

oh, not mentionable: on my note2 i was undervolting the cpu (except the both highest ghz-rates) and overclocking gpu. still had 6-7 hours screen on time and with normal use 50% batterydrainage per day.

Any news so far? Overclocking of GPU is interesting always, and some boost to CPU may let you view some Hi10P videos.

There is new firmware released all the time (particularly whilst the device is new). Custom ROM Devs normally use the newest as a base (if stable), so you'll have a choice of upgrading official stock manually via Odin, custom via CWM -or- wait for official release for your region.
If you wait for regional release, it could be a while, but flashing an international or other newer release will usually have a higher Samsung changelist with many bug fixes, performance and stabilty fixes.
Just break free of official, and enjoy the freedom

I believe XXUAME2 is newer, I have read how it includes a fix for the "micro-lag" some (all?) devices suffer from.

SGS GPU acceleration for UI?

Hi,
I´ve read that ICS has GPU acceleration for the UI implemented as a standard. Is there really a difference in smoothness compared to custom gb roms? I´m talking about the i9001. But it should be the same as with the i9000
Regards
Lekor
Can't tell the difference.
I'm on RemICS v1.2 with Devil Kernel 3.0.72. I set GPU from stock 200MHz to OC at 250MHz and I can't tell the difference. But the Kernel developer did say it may not work. Still experimental.
Afaik no big difference, although our GPU is powerful. Maybe stock ROM has other imorovements, so the boost isn't good to feel on ICS.

There are apks that use the gpu. In custom roms i saw that this is true on i9001
The stock browser in 2.3.6 uses GPU acceleration. There are other apps also, but not the OS UI.
In 4.0 custom rom it should work in the apps when you enable the option from the developer options.
No difference. Everything using 8 mb more ram with 200mhz GPU acceleration.

Bro, just upgraded my i9000 to ice and forced gpu acceleration.
Man even on the xda app itself I can see a marginal difference in smoothness.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
it has an option force gpu rendering that uses 2d hardware acceleration in applications...and you have to set it manual...but dont know if it rly helps in smoothness i think it depends more on the rom then to have this gpu option

I see an awful lot of people saying it offers no improvements. Personally, I think it does.
I keep my phone up to date as much as possible. When ICS was stable, I jumped right in. I haven't ran Gingerbread in a long, long time—but from what I remember, it had some lag. Android, in fact, was known for this lag. You couldn't read an iOS vs Android debate without this lag being mentioned (at least when Gingerbread was the newest). And I had tried everything: every lag fix, every tweak, every ROM, every kernel, governer, scheduler, OCing, UVing—I tried it all. But I still remember there being lag.
Now I'm in the present. I've been running ICS since it was stable and, quite frankly, I don't notice that lag. I mean, yes, my phone does still lag—if I'm doing something processor intensive in the background—but not like my memories of Gingerbread. Back then, it would lag scrolling through my list of apps; it would lag doing menial UI rendering without anything running in the background. That simply does not happen anymore. Not in my experiences. Not with ICS.
Granted, as I did in Gingbread, I do in ICS—I've applied every fix, every tweak, and every possible software combination that I could get my hands on. I've tried every ROM, every kernel, every setting imaginable. And I do this because I've been thoroughly impressed by the community here at XDA. This device of ours is over 2 years old now. But the software progression does not stop. We move forward as if the hardware was built just yesterday. And I have to tell you, our phone is keeping up—it really is. My phone is faster than a lot of my peers, even with some of them having much newer hardware. And I honestly don't feel I could have said any of this if I had stayed far behind with Gingerbread.
Everyone wants a new phone. It's newer, better, faster. But what they don't realize is that software can fulfill a majority of their wants. It is a continuous improvement, however gradual it may be. To not want to upgrade your software is like not wanting to upgrade your phone. And let's be honest, who doesn't want a new phone—one that's newer, better, and faster—without ever having to buy one.
I do. And that's why I update my phone. But maybe that's just me.

Trinity Kernel...1400mhz max?

I recently flashed the newest Trinity Kernel on my Nexus 7. I still have the stock ROM. I tried to tweak the CPU settings with ROM Toolbox and the most I can overclock is 1400mhz. Why can't I overclock to 1600? Is it because of the stock ROM? I'm looking into Glazed Jelly Bean as a custom ROM but I'm not sure I want or need to use a custom ROM at this point.
Any suggestions?
Because he dropped the Max. You probably flashed A111 correct? That's a TSVZ meaning it is slightly over clocked and undervolted kernel meant for battery not for performance.

Nice, ill have to look into rooting sometime soon.
Ok, I got the a96 and I've flashed it...
Is there a detailed changelog for each version? The a111 said it was a 1600mhz kernel so I don't understand why it was dropped down to 1400. That's where my confusion was.
I did notice some increase in speed at 1400. I was having some stuttering issues with Dead Trigger and Minecraft PE, and they were less with the 1400. I've got it running at 1600 now but I don't know what it will do to the battery or how well it will perform. I'll find out later. I've run through the battery pretty quickly today, but I was tinkering with it A LOT so it's not accurate.
What kind of tweaks could I do using Rom Toolbox that would help me maximize my battery while overclocking to 1.6?
Dont over clock.. i dont even see a need to. I use the ondemand gov which stutters a little but using interactive clears that up. Also using the CFQ IO as it is the stock IO used. Its stock so its gotta be good . Also you should turn F-Sync off that helps quite a bit. Also you could toggle auto hotplug and make it only run two cores while gaming and then turn it back on when finished so that way it will hotplug cores as it sees necessary. You could also up the voltages a little bit, some CPU's dont like the lower voltage and that will cause stuttering and glitching just up them by 25mV and see if it clears if not try another 25mV.
I will try those things, but I really want to play with overclocking and learn what happens. This is my first Android device so I'm experimenting and playing around.
But I have one more question...I've overclocked to 1.5...I found 1.6 to be the same as 1.5. But it seems that after an hour or so, it resets to 1.3. in ROMToolbox. Why is this?
Don't use rom toolbox. Use the Trinity app. It sticks just fine for me. Besides you support the dev to make better kernels.

youre not the first
Overclocking past 1.4 Ghz doesn't result in any major usability improvements. I've gone up to 1.7 Ghz and the only thing it does is make my tablet really warm and unstable. All you really need for improving system performance is I/O tweaks to speed up app and page loading, and a little bit of GPU overclocking to help with the transitional effects.
and, to be honest, depending which trinity kernel im using, im using either 1100 or 1150mhz mostly. on a111 im using 1100mhz and on a96 i used 1150mhz. with those speeds everything is still fast but a bit better on battery
Overclocking
If you want a little more information about the the overclocking if you havent already you might want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788759 its the official thread of the trinity kernel for grouper.

4.2 Update- MAJOR Gaming Performance Increase

After updating to 4.2 via using the toolkit to download and flash google 4.1.1 factory image, then updating to 4.1.2 via OTA, then flashing the 4.2 update via recovery, I have noticed something very special...
Gaming. Oh my god. Gaming. What happened? What the hell happened? I mean- one minute I was happily running 4.1.2, the latest Smooth Rom, coupled with Motley a11, with the GPU clocked at 520Mhz, and the CPU at 1.6Ghz. And playing games.such as NFS Most Wanted and NOVA 3 was... Acceptable. Just about smooth enough to enjoy (20-25 FPS). And the next minute, I'm running 4.2 stock, with 100% stock frequencies for every aspect of the tablet, and gaming is soooooo darn smooth!!! (30-40 FPS). I mean- what the actual hell have Google pulled here??
Before its mentioned- I've checked. Both of the games mentioned still have the full Tegra Effects enabled, just as they were when they were running under 4.1.2.
My verdict is that when the games were running under 4.1.2, they weren't running on all cores available. Maybe just two, or perhaps even just one! Is it possible that Google have now enabled all the cores available to applications? If so- why wasn't it like this before?
What are your thoughts people?

Overclocking GPUS and CPUs doesn't always mean you're getting the best performance out of your device.. In a lot of cases it can actually cause no performance increase or worse performance.
Especially at a OC of 1.6 and a GPU at 520.. I can almost guarantee your device was getting throttled down for thermal protection while gaming..
I hope you are right. But i don't see why it would not have used all cores before, it depends more on the application using threads properly.
Will definitely try some games when i get home, wish we had a Nexus 7 at work but they preferred an iPad mini for 7-8 inches app testing
lol edit srry
Yeah you're probably right. But even on stock kernel, I wasn't getting the smoothness I am now

Oh dear, if you call 30-40 FPS a major increase then i worry about android gaming. Its 2012. 60 FPS should be the standard frame rate by now. games should be as smooth as project butter. This is why i jumped ship from windows phone to the galaxy s3. i wanted more power to run these games properly. sadly, a lot of them dont. I bought need for speed most wanted and hope it would run at 60 fps. it dosnt unless there is something wrong with my S3. Why do android owners think that 30 fps is acceptable in this day and age of dual and quad core processors?

I can't tell you how many fps Need For Speed has on the S3 but I'd say it runs damn fast. A lot faster than on my N7 (still 4.1.2).
60 fps or 30 fps boils down to less detailed graphics or more detailed graphics on the same hardware. If you ask me, I take more details @30 fps then cheesy graphics @60 fps.

each to their own, perhaps your attitude is why developers cant be bothered to make or optimise android games to their full potential. should my quad core S3 be running games as smoothly as the same game on the dual core iphone 5? yep. do they? nope. im pretty sure that the S3 is capable. poor optimization i suspect. as an example, i bet need for speed most wanted is smoother on iphone5 than the S3 version? likely running at 60 fps but with the same graphics, same with Nova 3? FIFA 12? list goes on.

i wish i had 4.2...
and here i thought people could only notice about 24fps... everything is smooth for me (except for spiderman) and im still on 4.1.2...

thats what people keep saying but .if you have two copies of the same game one running at 24fps and the other running at 60fps and have them side by side. then you can easily tell the difference. Also JB, project Butter allows the UI to Run at 60fps, as they say, buttery smooth. if a person could not have be able to tell the difference between 24fps and 60 fps then why did they bother with project butter? there is a huge difference between the smothness of jelly bean compared to Gingerbread, or even ICS on some of the phones which cant quite handle ICS. thats why I want the games to run at 60fps...we have the technology and power with android now......

[Q] Disappointed by 4.3 Performance

Hey,
Just wondering if its only me, I've tried PA 4.3 JSS and JWR, really choppy and slow.
So i restored the JWR still continues super choppy, even simply going through the pages of the app drawer lags, Antutu gets me 14k results where previously on 4.2.2 i got 22k, on games like Real Racing 3 i notice much lower FPS than on 4.2.2,
I've tried with stock kernel and Franco, with small improvements with Franco but still barely unusable.
Is this situation shared with any of you using 4.3? Will it get any better?
Thanks.

I think you are the only one with this problem. I am on latest PA 3.96 and its super smooth.. Won't comment on games as I dont play much but performance,battery wise PA + franco's kernel rocks..
try clean wipe..(factory reset wipe all except internal )
Also it matters if you flash JWR kernel on a JSS rom you will face such issues,this might be a problem in your case. :good:
Its not the kernels mismatch, that I'm sure as I am aware many problems could be originated by that.
I notice the difference mostly in games since its one of the things I most use the phone for, although in the menus and general usage it still feels choppy and not smooth at all.
I have tried that, I have even restored the factory image and tried factory reset after that, all with no apparent result.

I think something is wrong with your device, because I´m on AOSP build with Matrix kernel and I can reach easily 22k on Antutu with no tweaks, just installing ROM and kernel. About games, I have played some and I do´t have any lag or anything related.
As someone stated before, you should try to make a factory reset and try to install an AOSP version, because it has many commits and patches that JW doesn´t have.

By measure for some time I mean to use an app like CPU spy reborn ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mirko.csr ) so it'll record CPU shifts and clock times during a reboot session. It's good to see if the governor is behaving normally, but since you won't have a reference from before I don't know if it'll be very useful.
Well, good luck with your problem, I hope you get it solved quickly. I'm a new N4 owner myself (barely 2 months) and don't much yet about the device.

I've noticed some games which do not run smoothly with 4.3, where they did with 4.2.2. I use unrooted stock, I don't benchmark because I prefer real-world usage.
I think the solution is to wait for app devs to update their software.

If you have a dedexed rom try jszaq patch from the benchmark thread. It will give roms without bionic/krait optimisations those tweaks and also it will give a huge dalvik/java improvement.
I score 21000 antutu and 8000 quadrant with it on deodexed stock jwr rom at stock speeds.

[REVIEW]5.1 Soak Test

Well, this review is based on my opinion so... let's start.
Motorola finally release his 5.1 soak test for us and, me, i was very anxious to test it, when i've installed it, i was a bit disappointed...
First thing i noticed is the smoothness, analysing it closely i noticed that it's not so smooth like CM12.1... changing launcher to NOVA doesn't even help, the system is a bit laggy, even if you overclock your CPU for max speed you can feel some lag... applock doesn't work here i don't know why and on games, the performance is good as CM12.1, but the fluidity on the system is not good, but hey, it's just a test version, let's hope that the final OTA doesn't come with these problems... and i almost forgot, the battery is really good on soak test.
And if you are reading this, let your review here :good:
I dont know what soak test you tried, but mine, is 100% smooth, battery life is the same like other roms, the system, is amazing how smooth is it. You should wipe data and start again like i did... The only problem i have is the memory for apps..
@jonaaa Honestly no system slowdowns yet seriously same as CM 12.1 it's fluid for me, i like Cm more coz of features like that and battery is better in CM for me, Dialer part is not good in CM for Multi Sim users especially Sim selection/switching and calling Animations is fluid in Stock..... Sim selection problems in CM Sometimes the SIM Selection box disappears fast before selecting the sim that we want to call, so i have to tap again the contact to make a call( This only Happens when calls ask everytime ) yeah applocks doesn't work on Cleanmaster Applock work i don't know why..... We are using ur backup and we don't have slowdowns
I am not getting H of E symbol on connecting to net.Is it normal on 5.1? Please reply

Root your phone, then download Kernel Adiutor, there you can control your CPU.

You can't go over 1,19ghz, it would crash the system, the max you can do is to force the phone to run on max speed.

Ohkay, I thought you overclocked it using some custom kernel.

Try restarting in safe mode. It worked for me.
@ OP : Battery is draining like crazy. And the UI is not at all fluid.

I agree with battery, but not with the UI, the battery is "normal"... I think it will be fixed in final ota
