Just rooted my phone and downloaded SetCPU.
Anyone had any problems with this? The app is only able to view the "read" part of the CPU and not the "write" so I don't think its actually doing anything. Its got the warning that some features wont work. Anyway to make it work?
Cheers.

Are you using an overclockable kernel?
Not that I know of,
I've rooted with unrevoked and i've downloaded the app.
Only thing i'm looking to do is overclock my phone and that was how I thought I would be able to go about doing it.
Any tips?
Sounds like you didnt give it access when it asked for it when it has that count down timer i think you press allow and it should then be fine but when i didnt press allow it gave the same error your complaining about
When I installed the app I allowed it access to my phone.
reinstalled and allowed and still having the same problem :S
its only the write: min frequency and max frequency
that the app doesn't have access to, I can't use the sliders to change the performance.
You can't overclock if you didn't flash the overclock kernel...
how do you do flash the overclock kernal?
Go to the rom development sub forum and flash jacobs kernel.

Yeah, I've looked at that, but theres no guide anywhere to let me know how to flash it. Is it a simple thing like rooting? Or is it a little more in depth?
Anyone know of a guide?

Download it, reboot into recovery and flash it... If you can't understand how to flash, i don't know why you should be doing this. There are guides all over this subforum and the rom development forum.
Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce a new project with a very simple but ambitious goal: create a place where all kernel developers can submit kernels easily and reach a much wider audience with ease.
Using Kernel Manager to flash kernels takes less than 30 seconds, generally, and it is extremely simple for end-users to find a kernel, filter by kernel features (BFS, CFS, HAVS, SBC, etc) download/install kernels, and submit ratings for their favorites.
We need from kernel developers like YOU! Submitting a kernel to Kernel Manager is totally free and we even provide hosting for you! Submitting kernels is easy!
If you use IRC, join us in freenode in #kernel-manager!
THIS LINK IS FOR KERNEL DEVELOPERS SPECIFICALLY! Go to http://kernels.teamw.in and register for an account! Once it's approved, you can easily enter new kernels, which immediately show up in the app. The app is currently available in the market.
Please feel free to provide me with any feedback you have, or feature requests in order to make this a great tool for all of android to utilize!
Speed up your approval process, and you might have more.

Looking into it now.
Applied. Let's see this thing now.
I like this idea. I wanted to create this exact app a while ago but simply don't have the time.
I hope this becomes a standard thing for kernel devs. I would love to have an app notify me of updates than various forums.
In addition to tangible things, I hope some dev intentions can be flagged and filtered as well, such as "safe", undervolted (slightly or significantly), heavily battery-optimized, etc.

What options does it have? I seen a window come up that said download and install kernel or something to that effect. Does it clear cache or dalvik or prompt to if you choose to flash kernel from kernel manager?
Thanks for the cool app, just apprehensive about flashing kernels thru it till I get the green light from more experienced people

Press "menu" while in the app. There are filter options and a settings menu to set it up to wipe cache and dalvik.
How does this work from a technical standpoint? Usually kernels are flashed from recovery. Does this work with ClockworkMod, or does it somehow flash the kernel while the OS is running (that would seem unsafe to me...)?

Submitted. Maybe give kernel developers access to paid version as well? (probably wishful thinking)

Well you know, gotta make sure you guys know that I eat my own dog food
BUT, that said, I do use it because it's so much easier to use than rebooting to recovery. And like 50 times faster.

Definitely faster and it's been hard to trust ROM Manager when it comes to wiping and installing properly. It's also a bit annoying to have to do so much scrolling to go pick that "YES I want to flash that file" option.
I'm currently on CM7 Nightly #7 and was wondering if the following features would be implemented:
- Google Talk Video/Voice chat (stock MotoBlur GB update had this)
- 1% Battery Mod
- Overclocking
If none of those are set to be implemented, is it safe to install the above 3 using CWM like I normally would? Also, will Webtop work if I manually install it using CWM?
I'm assuming I can find the above 3 and Webtop lying around in forums?
Thanks.

Umm...Ok. Google Talk, whether it be video/voice/otherwise is not installed or included with CM7 and as far as I KNOW, never will be. They keep the CM project clean of anything that doesn't come stock with Android, and Google Apps (a package that can be downloaded seperately and installed) are OPTIONAL, I don't think they would ever push it down our throats. Second, 1% battery mod IS included, just dependent on the theme you have whether or not it's showing you the % or not. There is actually a setting to change the battery icon now under Settings---Cyanogenmod Settings--Interface---Status Bar or something to that affect. Third, overclocking/underclocking/undervolting is all kernel dependent. The kernel that is currently being rolled out with the nightlies and the stable release is not capable of this. It runs at stock voltages and stock frequencies. Faux123 has several kernels that will work with these versions of CM7 however.
^the reason why google apps arent included is because google sent cyanogen a cease and desist letter because the apps arent open source. it almost completely killed CM development.

Sorry I should've rephrased the Google Talk question; I guess I should've phrased it as will it ever come with the optional Google package that I installed via ROM Manager.
Anyway, thanks so much for your help! I found the battery option and I will get to installing the voice/video Google Chat and a new kernel soon.

Hello xda.
I installed Cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 today with no problems at all, however I've found something that seems a bit weird. (I know there is supposed to be bugs in nightlies, of course, but I thought i'd ask anyway.)
In the performance settings of the tab, it keeps the minimum CPU frequency to 1190mhz. If I put it to 300mhz, it will work, but as soon as I exit out of the performance tab, it goes back to 1190mhz. I figured that my phone was quite hot when I didn't use it, and that's how I found out.
Have anyone seen this on the latest CM11 nightly for the Note 3? I hope somebody out there know how I can fix it.
Many thanks.

I've heard a little about kernels. The thing is, that this is the first time I've ever put a custom rom on an android device, so I'm not really 100% familiar with all this yet, however if the custom kernel won't be able to brick my phone, I sure would give that a try.
Should I go with the "stable" version or the beta version of the kernel?

I installed the kernel and everything looks fine, however the performance tab is still acting weird. I think I will install a CPU app.

Hi guys,
So .. I hate lag, that's why I wanna do something about my LG Spirit, cos it lags annoyingly much. Here's what I got - Lollipop 5.0.1, software version V10h-EUR-XX, Build LRX21Y, Kernel 3.10.49
So I heard of this SetCPU app and wanna give it a try. But to give it a try I need the phone to be rooted. Tried many ways to root it but couldn't. So far so BAD! Then heard something about flashing a custom ROM to the phone. Do I have to have the phone rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to it? Or the other way around? Do I have to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root the device? And which custom ROM to go for for my Spirit?
Ultimately, I wanna get rid of this lag and to do that I'm giving these 2 things a try - (1) root the phone somehow and install SetCPU to overclock the CPU to make the darn thing run faster and (2) flash a custom ROM cos I heard custom ROM can run much faster and lighter than the stock OOTB OS.
One thing I already did was to install the latest Nova Launcher Prime. That alone has made the phone more responsive. With the stock HOME it seemed to work slower. Or is it just me?
Anyway, help me out by answering some of my uncertainties and pls do give me a tip on how to proceed.
Cheers!
Currently there are no custom roms for lg spirit on xda. You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that. My suggestion is to follow the guidelines in Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread. You can root the device via Kingroot, search for it on xda.
Thank you very much for the input! Muchly appreciated!
I don't wanna use this Chinese mysterious stuff ... kingroot. I'd rather root with something else.
Could I tell me if I need to be rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to my phone or is it the other way - having to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root it? Which way around is it?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that.' What is an OC kernel? Are you saying that I cannot overclock my CPU because I need a custom ROM???
Any links to Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread?
You cannot root with anything else. There's no problem with it by the way so feel free to use it.
You have to root your phone first in order to install custom roms, but currently there are no custom roms for this device, nor unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (which is needed to install a custom rom).
An oc kernel is an OverClocked kernel which again we don't have yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...pu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
Here's the link ( you need root for this)
Thank you again. I just re-read your prev post and it now makes more sense to me. So apparently there's nothing in it for me to root, since we dont yet have and OverClocked kernel and any custom ROMs, meaning I can't squeeze out any benefit. Even if I managed to root the phone and installed SetCPU it won't help anything cos it won't let me overclock the CPU, due to the lack of an OC kernel as you said yourself.
So yeah ,.. thanks! Will give that link a look! Any idea when/how we'll ever get any custom ROMs and kernels for the LG spirit 2015? After all it's a cheap spin-off of the LG G4.
Is it just me or the Home Launcher also makes a difference? With the stock one things were kinda slow. With Nova Prime they seem kinda faster? Could it be or is it just me?
PS
I only wanted to root my phone so as to be able to overclock the CPU and make it run faster. I've read many reviews saying reasons why it is great to root your phone. However, since I can't overclock the CPU is there any other reason (in terms of making the phone faster and less laggy) why I would want to root it?
The home launcher does make a difference. The thread I shared with you contains a set of kernel settings which make the phone more responsive, have better multitasking, and conserve more battery. The developers at LG made weird settings to the kernel that's why we need to change them. But in order to do so, you need to root.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask you. Now I get the picture. I may have misunderstood you earlier, cos i though u said in order to overclock i need and overclock-able kernel, which does not exist. And it seems that at the thread you linked to the guys are doing exactly that - overclocking and tweaking settings to the cpu and kernel. I guess they're doing all that on the stock kernel and ROM. So the bottom line. is you don't necessarily need a custom ROM and kernel in order to tweak stuff in the SetCPU app such as the clockspeed of the CPU and other kernel settings.
I guess this is the KingRoot thread I should use to root my Spirit?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Well, in any event .. I gotta say a big thank you for even pointing me to that thread cos that was exactly what I was looking for. But pls shed some more light on my last post.

trying to root now and so they have kingroot 4.6 now and it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...x-5-0-t3107461 that:
We have two versions, one is mobile version( app) for one-click root, another is desktop version for root some special device which can not be rooted by mobile one. Attention please that the desktop version may be flash third party Recovery into your device.
and then
KingRoot is an amazing tool for "lazy people" who just want to get root access but don't want to flash any third party Recovery into their lovely device.
So first they say one thing and then kinda something else. What is the risk/problem with flashing 3rd party Recovery into my phone? Why would I want/not want that? and lastly ... which method to use - mobile or desktop?
