Best cpu app for I9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys I have a I9500 (s4) and just wanted to know a good cpu app which would make my experience on my rom even more fast.
I don't have any experience with these apps so need help.I don't wanna overclock but wanna use the cpu speed to the full when Iam on my phone using it.
Thanks alot

you will need a custom kernal for that
but 2 good ones here

Running the cpu of the i9500 constantly on max freq will result in a very very hot phone with extreme battery drain ...
And there is no reason you should do that ... also if you want to mess with cpu frequencies, governors and stuff you need to install a custom kernel ... but since you won't know what you'll be doing i'd advise against this ...

Overclock your GENE (HOW?)

How can I overclock my gene ?
over clocking gene
there are different ways brother , you need to basically install softwares like Omap or there is a different one which is slightly advanced ,also give you battery status info.....
but make sure you not boost it up more that 40 % of your default clock speed as it is not reccomended...................

You can safely overclock your CPU upto 20% of your CPU speed that is upto 240MHz. But its better to use CPU scalar as that saves battery life.

Would you mind telling me where to get these utilities?
i tried two times for overclocking and my sim card got corrupted both time.
so in my case it kills sim card.

Whoa..
Heard that first time..
Had once overclocked mine upto 240Mhz for some 15 min or so..
The phone is quite responsive then but drains battery fast and gets hot fast..
Over clocking is good but not recommended becoz it degrades the Battery life and heating of phone and circuit board...!!
overclocking is vry dangerous......it can harm ur gene,so be carefull while overclocking ur gene......
If someone does overclock, then do share your experience as its dangerous so share if you did it successfully.

Undervolting the GT-N7000 for better Battery life

Hey there ,
so i wanted to share share my awsome Undervolting results with you
At first im running on Chasmodo's latest CM 10.1 i really appreciate his work ! I use the latest CM 10.1 Kernel.
With his rom and this voltages u find under this introduciton text i could get nearly a month with Standby time
(without doing anything , Wlan turned on , Data off) i attached a screenshot (29 Days and 5 Hours sorry for the German language)
Every day i plug my N7000 out from the Loading station its 5am on 3pm i lost 1%.
to change the Voltages i use SetCPU (full version)
1400 MHz
1200 mV (Stock: 1350mV)
1200 MHz
1100 mV (Stock: 1275mV)
1000 MHz
1000 mV (Stock: 1175mV)
800 MHz
925 mV (Stock: 1100mV)
500 MHz
900 mV (Stock 1000mV)
200 MHz
800 mV (Stock: 975mV)
So i dont know my Voltage group sorry guys , if this values are not working just go in 25mV steps lower from your stock voltage
until the CPU gets unstable or crashes than u know that u cant go lower just do this with every clocking !
I also used this voltages on XXLSC Ultimate Rom with the HydraCoreNirvana Kernel i had fantastic results too but not that good like i get with the Asylum CM 10.1.
PS: Just this Voltages wont give you very good Battery life if your Rom / Settings is/are eating your battery. If you get better results with
lower results (stable) just go ahead and post it but im sure this values are nearly the lowest stable u can get
Code:
Its [U]impossible [/U]to hard brick your device with Undervolting , you only could get a soft brick if you use (Set on Boot) and your voltages will crash your System after boot. thats easy to fix just after the phon booted up fast go into SuperSU and delete the root rights for your Undervolting tool.
Thanks for Reading and if i you liked this push the Thanks button =) !:victory:
Thanks man
I think you should say which Voltgroup (A, B or C) your note is. Because those freq are really low (I think too much low for my note, that's voltgroup B).
Do you remember which voltgroup has your note, when you installed hydracore kernel?
Better i would buy a spare battery rather than spoiling my devices performance. We arr not in 1000BC with no electricity. Sure every one can charge a spare and can switch it.

Hey there i dont remember never looked at the Voltgroup sorry so there is no other way to view my Voltgroup ?
Btw just try the voltages without autostart and u will see if your system reboots or if it works if not just go in 25mV steps higher :highfive:

It's a feature of the hydracore kernel only I think, because its read a particular value (something about mainboard and/or cpu) and the kernel automatically apply dedicated undevolt values. You could see it in system information, where hydracore kernel is detected. Without it, I think you can't do anything :/
Anyway, sincerely I remember some time ago I tried to lower my already undervolted cpu voltages, and I got freezes. I will try to go lower a bit, hoping it will works. A very important thing, is not only the lower battery drain, but also the lower cpu temps.

I bought rom toolbox full sometime ago, when there was sales. If I remember correctly, there is a section relative to the cpu control, but I don't remember if it was undervolting capable also. You should start to search it from there (I'm sorry, I don't have the app installed anymore, so I can't help you properly... In case, use voltage control app)

What do you mean by Rom Toolbox doesn't have voltage control?
Tap kernel tweaks, then any frequency and you'll find a voltage slider in there.

Maybe it depend from the kernel I'm using now (philz 3.99 on BurtRom tw rom) but I can't able to do what you said. I checked on rom toolbox pro again, and I didn't see any uv feature. Just goverors/kernel tweaks (like vm or fs features) or profiles management... Nothing else.
Anyway I'm using tegrak ultimate app to Undervolt my cpu and gpu, and it works perfectly, so I don't miss so much that feature.

I don't know - I am not sure if Undervolting could hard-brick or damage the hardware but back then running GB roms I had undervolted FM Kernel and there was trrrr trrr trrr like sound from my Note.
Be careful.
I have to do a custom rom just to see if its all true....otherwise am not interested at all in undervolting my phone. Hope its true...

never had any problems and just logical cpus could brick if you give them too mutch voltage , if you give them less voltage the system only can crash your sound could have been beacuse it crashed so really u cant hard brick your device with undervolting ... maybe a softbrick if your unstable voltage settings are on autostart.

no need for a custom rom mate , you just need a custom kernel wich is able to uv for example HydraCoreNirvana

Hey there , you cant uv with Philz kernel just read his thread check his FAQ there hes writing that hes not supporting
oc/uv its just a repacked stock kernel
use HydraCoreNirvana but when you download the kernel check that its the OC version if not than you cant change your voltage like with Philz kernel.

Just use tegrak ultimate Overclock app. I bought it because I think it's the only who give you the possibility to Undervolt the gpu also. Initially, philz kernel wasn't supported, but now it is. I undervolted my cpu setting the values that I had using the hydracore kernel oc. And today I lowered them of another - 25mV also. Everything works nicely until now

Nice attitude you are showing there. Oh, there is plenty of power, let's waste.it! Really, that kind off attitude is definitely going to make the world a better place
What's more why do you think undervolting does influence the performance? It only influences the power consumtion and if you go too far it does render the phone unstable. But it certainly does not in-, or decrease the cpu's performance.

Yep tegrak definitely does the trick with PhilZ kernels. I have been using it for at least 8 months now and my phone is undervolted too. Only the highest cpu state is overvolted because I overclocked it to 1552 MHz instead of 1400.

I would love this kernel under ubls4 if it has a proper exfat support. Until this is not fixed like philz kernel, I can not test or try

Please explain why you overvolted AND overclocked the highest cpu state. Doesn't this shorten your batteries performance?
Did you changed cpu governor or something else (like screen off profile to reduce CPU) to achieve 1% battery loss at 3pm?
And was that with mobile data on?

I overcloked the highest cpu state from 1400 Mhz to 1552 Mhz because I want more performance. And because my phone became unstable with the 1552 Mhz and the standard voltage. So now my phone saves energy when the lower cpu states are active and it has a bit of extra power at the expense of battery life when it needs the most processing power. All in all that gives me better battery life than with stock settings and a snappier device when needed. For me this is the ideal solution.

[Q] Sprint galaxy s4: overheating with no over clock

I just can't seem to keep the temperatures below 41-45° while using the device. While I'm not using the phone the temps stay pretty low, roughly between 37 - 39°. The reason I'm posting this question is because the phone gets noticeably hot to the touch and I didn't want to be creating worse problems down the road due to persistent overheating. Is there something I should do to protect from overheating?
Currently I'm running triforce 3.1 rom with comadose package, hot spot mod, speed tweaks and a few altered build. props. Also running the KT kernel with no over clock just the stock kernel MHZ'S. My speeds are really good I get 45mbps download and 15mbps upload just wanna make sure the heating issue isn't bad.
Thanks in advance for the help.
When. You over clock try yo lower the voltages to keep the tempature low.

The thing is im not even overclocking my phone yet out of fear for it getting worse. The issue began when I installed KT's kernel. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled the stock mf9 kernel. I then found the triforce rom with KT's kernel and decided to give it another shot. Right now I'm running my CPU at 1890/380 mhz. So lowering the voltages should help the heat issue even though I'm not overclocking yet? Thanks for the quick response bro.
Could be a bad battery, take it to Sprint and see if they will exchange one for you.
I've noticed on the phone that if you use it heavily, then it tends to heat like crazy. Or if you're doing something on there that is using a lot of RAM or juice from the device.
You can try and remove some tweaks, that might be an issue. And check to see which part of th system is using the most battery on your phone.

Thanks for the reply, I have noticed that when I use antutu benchmark or on it a while is when it overheats the most, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a big big deal. I did just remove the tweaks I had set with Android tweaker pro mabye that'll help a bit. The comadose package I just flashed gave my phone a huge boost of speed so I feel like I don't need all those tweaks. Does anyone know if Android tweaker is a good tweaker app or is is there a better one? Thanks again for all the help everyone.

[Q] Undervoltage I9505

Hello,
I have Galaxy 4 I9505 with foxhound 2.0 and Adam kernel.
I want to do undervoltage.
Which kernel is best for it? And how to check the stability of the device after UV and whether it endangers the cell phone?
Does it improve my battery life?
Thank you all!

And you can't go to the two development sections & read the first page of a few threads devoted to particular kernels why exactly ? (That's the reason why you haven't had a response).

Sorry I'm new here.
I will search what you said thanks..
But it's not written there if its can harm the device and how to check stability..
OK.
1) Undervolting won't harm your device. If anything, it's kinder on your phone's components because it should run a little bit cooler under most circumstances.
2) Re: stability, decrease in 25mV steps, test thoroughly to make sure it's stable (this varies from phone to phone), then decrease another 25mV & so on. This applies whether you're applying the undervolt 'globally' (I.E the same across all CPU frequencies), or whether you're applying different levels of undervolting to different frequencies. It seems most I9500/I9505's can handle -50mV (though yours may not) globally.
So you're only going to find out what's truly stable for your phone by testing.

Undervolt doesn't damage the phone, if the phone doesn't reboot itself or app force closes then it's stable or you can use this app to test stability

Yes, it does improve battery life as undervolting the CPU and GPU means it's using less battery

1.7 for me, undervolted to 850 mv for 1728 mhZ. No problems with stuttering, lags or random reboots. 3% battery drop for around 7 hours in deep sleep, all the time on LTE. GPU locked at max 384 mhZ too. Tweaked inteliactive governor, autosmp hotplug. Unfortunately, our 805 SOC is power hungry kekeke. But everything run so smooth.
