[Q] NOOB question - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Exynos Extreme v7

I'm really satisfied with Exynos Extreme v7.
It's with NetChip kernel.
(But have to flash SU for root access)
As soon as I flashed & reached to homescreen, I installed SetCPU & AnTuTu benchmark.
Never-before-seen, I scored ~6600 in AnTuTu.
Before this rom, I'd been with Lite'ning v6.1.
With Ninphetamine 2.1.3, I scored ~6200 in AnTuTu.
But there are some flaws in the Extreme rom.
Whenever I reboot the phone, Wifi automatically turns on itself.
Another one is with Wireless Tethering.
I set my disired SSID & password.
It's ok for the run.
But next time, I turned on Wireless Tethering again, then I have to setup SSID & password again...
Please developers fix these issues...
I want to comment in the original thread.
But I just a newbie... and an amateur.

stupid thought have you tried reflashing with full wipe just to see if its working properly then? back up all your apps and data though TB and then flash the rom again but before you do wipe data cache and dalvik..
or if you dont want to back up your stuff through TB just back your rom through CWM..
either way a clean wipe normally fixes few bugs just incase the setup of the rom has not been done properly..hope this helps..
but before you do anything backup as always
Not impressed slower benchmark than Cognition 2.3.4 rom.

[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.

what's stock idle gpu mhz?

hi guys, i'm just wondering what the stock idle gpu MHz is for the galaxy s4 with the stock kernal? I need to know because I think my phone's custom kernel is overclocking my gpu while idle (320mhz idle gpu) and when I touch the screen it does a reverse boost downclocking to 128mhz until I let go than back up to 320mhz it goes, using KT SGS4 kernel on 4.3 i337M Canadian. I tried setting defaults, clearing data/cache in ktweaker and tried clearing cache/dalvik in recovery too but nothing helps.
everything is 100% stock from fresh flash with superuser, recovery, and custom kernel installed, nothing else.
any ideas would really be appreciated thanks.

[Q] Changing to "Interactive" governor causes restart

When I got my LG G2 and had used it for a little while, I noticed some lag and so I researched it. Found out that the interactive governor might help. Rooted the phone, proceeded to install trickster mod and changed the governor to interactive. Actually did help!
But for some reason changed governor back to ondemand and now every time I change it to interactive, the phone just restarts and returns to ondemand. I don't reboot it manually. It freezes and restarts.
Anyone else facing the same issue? Anyone know what's going on? Tried installing busybox on rails to make sure everything was okay. Did have Xposed installed before so maybe there was a conflict with that? I wiped everything using the stock recovery and tried it again but didn't take even then.
Need help. Hate the lag
Install dorimanx kernel and forget about lag

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
