Hey guys
So I have just overclocked my g2 and am pretty impress by the speed. I was just wondering if anyone is having any battery issues or temp issues with the over clocking. I am overclocking it at 1.42 and it seems stable. I was also wondering if we were to get the OTA, what we would have to do? Like would we have to reverse the kernel module or something? Sorry, its my first time overclocking a phone, so I don't really know the procedures.
Well, battery drainage will happen since your pushing your phone a little more then normal but nothing to major. Not that ive noticed. Also about the kernel, I think once you reboot you should be fine. Dont quote me on it but once you reboot your completely stock so dont think you have to worry.
I'm looking for the closest to 4.3 stock kernel that supports fast charge. Any idea?

Did you try Franco Kernel with his paid app ?
It support usb fast charge and many stuff like headset gain and volume boost.
Its stable just like stock... no issues since 3months
Yes I have, it's what I had been using until now. However, the fact that I had to flash the whole phone to upgrade to 4.3 because his kernel touches all kind of weird stuff is holding me back. That's exactly why I want a close to stock one.
Dear all,
I am running a Purity 4.4.2 and it's just perfect.
I would like to use the fastcharge feature, therefore I am looking for a kernel that support it.
I am aware that Franco kernel and a modded version of semaphore has it.
The question is pretty clear: which kernel is the best choice to have the fastcharge if I don't care of any other feature. Moreover, I would like not to experience troubles or lags..
Thanks!
MJ
Fast charge is fast charge
There is no best "fast charge"
There is no best kernel. Its up to you to make that choice.

You are perfectly right. That's why I asked for "the simplest" kernel. Since I am looking for only for fastcharge, even a stock kernel with fast charge is good.
As far as I know, franco and sempahore are quite complex kernels, loaded with features.
I am just looking for the simplest kernel possible
have you tried hells-core ?
since i know, has no oc, not loaded with a lot of features and is very stable.

I second this. Fast charge works nicely too.

Seems like you got your Fast Charge question answered.
No best kernel under the guise of "simplest" are allowed. Takes 1 flash and about 1-2 battery cycles to seem the benefits or hindrances of each. What works for me,may not work for you as we have different usage patterns.

Hi Guys,
Been following XDA for a long time but never had to post anything as everything had already had an answer to my question.
I know there are a lot of threads about battery drain but for some reason, everything I have tried has seemed to help minimally.
Here's the rundown.
I have a Galaxy S5 G900I running G900F custom rom, Resurrection Remix 5.6.7 Marshmallow.
Previously I was running the lollipop version of Resurrection Remix and battery was fine.
The phone is over a year old, but I have tested the battery with another S5 my wife has and it is perfectly fine. It charges fairly quick when the power is off on the phone and still fast enough while it's in use. Even if I am to open up a game on my wife's phone with my battery or hers, the battery continues to charge slowly while in use.
On my phone however, switched with both batteries, the drain is astronomical. I tested playing a game and I would lose practically 1% of battery per minute while in game.
What I have done so far is, installed Xposed, I have Amplify running following various guides which has slowed down the drain of my battery, I have installed Greenify which has also helped. I've turned off the scanning of wifi and bluetooth in locations. I have tried going back to stock rom which does help but it doesn't help me figure out the issue I want to fix.
I have tried switching power points in the house, changing usb cables, changing chargers, all of which do not help my phone with either battery, but on my wives it is fine.
I have also set CPU profiles in Rom Toolbox to lower CPU usage in idle, lower than 15% battery, while on charge. As of today, even while using the phone, I have limited the max CPU usage.
Prior to this latest updated Rom with Marshmallow, I could use my phone and have it plugged into my USB 3 on my PC and it would charge while in use unless playing a game or using a high demanding application, in which case, it would slowly drain. If in a power point adapter it would charge regardless.
Now, even in idle, on my PC, it drains while charging, and charges extremely slow on a power point.
I have searched for over a week trying to find any sort of guide or help with this problem and I have certainly minimized some of the drain but this is ridiculous.
If anyone has any idea's on what it could be, please let me know. I have tried cleaning all the dirt and gunk out of the charging point, the only thing I haven't done is pull apart the phone to see if its a hardware problem (Which I am starting to think it might be.)
have u tried with another usb cable?

Yes, I have tried various USB cables on various USB chargers, even non USB chargers I had laying around. And as I said, I have also switched the batteries into my wife's phone and they charge fine there.
The problems only started once I upgraded to Marshmallow.
It also persists when the phone is switched off and charging. It's just slow.

Do they persist while on L? Could possibly be a conveniently timed hardware failure.

Your default CPU 1900.0 MHz (8-core) this now running at 2400 MHz, you are lucky that the phone did not permanent damaged up to date.
Find S5 G900I compatible ROM and not what ever ROM.
try to factory reset your device 1st. if its only started after MM update then must be software issue.

Done that. Had a previous ROM installed and the battery was better. But I want to know how to fix the issue, I don't want to revert back to older software.
I know its possible because even with the same rom installed, before I bricked it and forgot to back it up, I had better battery life.

First thing I did was cap the cpu usage at 1900mhz.
Go back to stock lollipop and check if u still have the problem

It seemed that you did that unsuccessfully, OR you battery gets old and needs replacement.
At about 400 charging times, the battery this is now at 80% capacity or less.
In my S5 I have permanently activated basic power saving mode, this clocks the CPU always lower than Max.
The phone seems happy, and I am too.
By using one Qualcomm App I discovered how low is low with basic power saving mode on.
Flash a custom Kernel and you can set it more or less as low as you like
S5 this is a very complicate device, I am trusting only Samsung about it.
If this was an old tablet with out ROM support from anywhere, in this case I would.

Having trouble finding a custom ROM that's a stable build that runs on S5 and on Marshmallow. Would you happen to know any in particular that I could use?
consider buying a new battery

I use a stock MM port G900FXXU1CPD7-BTU
But you could just flash a compatible custom Kernel and then have control over the CPU/GPU clocks

Sorry, I meant to say custom Kernel, not rom.

This one looks like it supports stock TW 6.0.1 MM for the G900F
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...kernel-phoenix-kernel-v7-marshmallow-t3340407
But like always, do your own research before flashing
EDIT - Actually it looks like the dev has left out OCing from this Kernel, not sure about downclocking/under volting - maybe request it in his thread
[Q] Is there any way to add fast charging support without modifying stock kernel, like tweaks or something i like CM 12.1's fast charging , but that ROM is quite battery draining and unstable, J5 ROM for XCU is still buggy, and Stock & Prime Chosen is stable, but really slow at charging, so i need someone to teach me how, plz :angel:
how about battery?
