Want to unleash my s4 capabilities - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I followed you without being registered for a long time. My name is Joseph and I currently own a Galaxy S4 I-9505. This phone served me very well in these 2 years, but now, with the decayed warranty, I want to unleash the full potential of my phone. Profiling my phone I found that frequency drops to 0.92 Ghz on the CPU and 200 mhz or sometimes slower on the GPU. Obviously with that thermal throttling, games and apps starts to lag, and this is upsetting... I want to flash a new recovery and kernel, but since my last flash experience was 3 years ago on my Galaxy S2, I most likely lost my touch
I need a recovery (wanna make a nandroid) and a kernel for my version of Android. I read around on the forum that TWRP or Philz should be the best option, is it right? And which kernel compatible with TW should I go with? I need it to support overclocking, voltage control, and thermal limits control.
But my biggest concern is: I am currently running a previous version of stock TW Android 5.0.1, rooted without flagging Knox (counter 0x0 but I don't care anymore), but in the .tar file I flashed was lacking bootloader file, so I am stuck on older bootloader. Should I upgrade the bootloader to my rom version before I flash recovery and kernel? Anyway here are some screenshots of my system:

if you want to overclock you'll need to leave touchwiz and go AOSP 5.0 with ktkernel. performance is better without tw anyway and it's better to be without knox !!!
TWRP is more user friendly and compatible for flashing. you should be OK with your bootloader and baseband for now.

Updating bootloader isn't a necessity.
TWRP is the recommended recovery.
There are 2 kernels that support overclocking: Hulk kernel and KT kernel. Both haven't been updated for a long time. KT kernel is actually discontinued because the dev switched to the S5.
My personal recommendation for android 5.0 roms is KT kernel. Download the KT gaming profile from within the app and you're good to go.

I wanted to try out Android 6.0... Is there a suggested rom out there which is almost stable for daily use with a good battery life? And which is a good rom for Android 5.0-5.1?

As @3mel said, you better leave Touchwhiz if you want more performance. I haven't had any Touchwhiz roms on my phone since the stock rom it came with.
If you want Android 6, go for JDCTeam AOSP 6.0 rom. It comes with alucard kernel. It doesn't have overclocking but it's the best 5.1 and 6.0 kernel so far.

I currently don't have enough time to follow a rom installation... So I just wanted to try a different kernel on my current rom, to upgrade later to a custom rom. So I just wanted to modify at least thermal limit now, to game more smoothly. And still looking for a kernel which allows me to do it, with currently TW obviously.

Alucard kernel also has a touchwhiz version if I'm not mistaken.

Then it's just Hulk kernel and Imperiun kernel. There's also an Echo kernel, you can't find it on xda because they left the forums. They have their site now.

Is it OK to install any of those kernel with my version of Android and my bootloader? Or have I to check if there is "old bootloader support" in kernel description?

Bootloaders have nothing to do with kernels.

The developer of kt kernel moved to the S5. The last version he released for the S4 only works on android 5.0. There is a 5.1 version but it doesn't work on all 5.1 roms..

OK ty.... I finally decided to install imperium kernel... Do you know how to use the kernel cleaning script? Or there is no need to use it, and just wipe cache and dalvik after the kernel installation? Do I need to install STweaks before installing the kernel or after is OK too? Ty for all ur support

I never used the kernel cleaning script. Wipe dalvik and cache before flashing the kernel.
Most kernels come with their own app. If not, install one manually.

the kernels I've looked at have all suggested wiping cache and dalvik after flashing. other users here have suggested using hawkerscore script bundle for it's kernel wipe when switching between kernels so that's been my habit of recent...

i think that the kernel cleaning script in the imperium kernel post work in the same way, when do you launch the script? before or after the kernel flash?

Run the script BEFORE flashing the kernel.
Gesendet von meinem SM-T705 mit Tapatalk

Kernel cleaning scripts only delete files that other kernels left behind.
Meaning it is only useful if you changed a lot of kernels.
I don't think there is any point in using the script if you come from a stock kernel.
But I didn't develop the kernel. So if the dev says it is mandatory, who am I to second guess him.

I've finally flashed the kernel, but I have some problems with intelli thermal control. In fact even if I set the thermal throttling start temperature to 80 degrees, the thermal throttling starts at 60 degrees... Here is a screenshot of Stweaks

[TRICK] DualBoot GB ROM and ICS/JB ROM

Hello...
well i dont know if this may be useful for anyone or not but if u want to run both GB and ICS/JB in ur phone, this is for you..
not actually a dualboot but its slight modification
all you need is
1.a kernel supporting dualboot ( siyah/dorimanx for ICS/JB)
2.a kernel which runs GINGERBREAD rom
3.obviously ur GB and ICS/JB rom
NOW
flash dual boot kernel in recovery mod
install ur ICS/JB rom as second rom and
GINGERBREAD rom as first rom(skip if already installed).
now for running ICS/JB , reboot and select second rom
for running GINGERBREAD reboot in recovery flash kernel supporting GB rom.. boot.. it will boot to GB..
again for running ICS/JB reboot in recovery flash dualboot kernel and boot second rom.. it will boot to ICS/JB
i know its quite complicated but may be useful till someone discovers something better and more useful..
if this seems crap mods/devs can delete this thread
THANX

What's the point flashing a kernel 3-4 times a day, and why.. WHY would you want to stick with GB? Move on. CM9 and CM10 are stable as f***. If you got problems with them, then you're doing it wrong.

Sorry bro.. this thread is not for u.. i do have installed ics/jb.. they r good but still some apps and games run well on gb as compared to ics or jb plus gb has better ram management plus better battery i know siyah gives more than 1 day battery usage with ICS but its more than 2 days for Gb.. miui gb is more stable than miui ics or jb which get updated weekly .. i cant flash weekly with updates then again create restore backup apps messages contacts call logs etc etc..
And flashing kernel 2-3 times is lot easier and takes less time than flashing gb and ics roms over each other..
Btw i dont think many of us dual boot rom more than one time a day..
Thanks a lot for this information.. I've been searching for this information..
But I've a question..
Your Steps :-
1. flash dual boot kernel in recovery mod
2. install ur ICS/JB rom as second rom and
3. GINGERBREAD rom as first rom(skip if already installed).
4. now for running ICS/JB , reboot and select second rom
5. for running GINGERBREAD reboot in recovery flash kernel supporting GB rom.. boot.. it will boot to GB..
6. again for running ICS/JB reboot in recovery flash dualboot kernel and boot second rom.. it will boot to ICS/JB {Now, Do I have to flash both ICS and GB ROMs again.?? Will the information of kernel about 2 ROMs not be lost..???}

So this should work with any jb rom that works with siyha or dorimax such as pacman or jellybam? I've got remoras last 4.7 gb rom and love it but I want to try jb but it looks like it reformat the file structure and you can't easily flash back a gingerbread rom once you flash jellybean. So if this works it would be an easy way for me to try jb. Thanks in advance.
you should flash uboot to the kernel partition (search on xda for uboot for the true multiboot) on the i9100 forums and configure it to ask you what kernel to boot
(i would do that)

[Q] Custom Kernel

Hello,
I use SM-N9005 4.4.2, Baseband ver. N9005XXUENC2, Kernel ver. 3.4.0-1168347, Build number KOT49H.N9005XXUEND5.
It's a rooted, stock ROM somewhat modded with Xposed, Android Tuner app etc.
I'd like to flash a custom Kernel which will allow overclocking, eXtended battery life and some other neat features I hope more experienced XDA community will recomend.
So, what Kernel would you recomend as a mix of stability and performance for my stock TW rom? I am fairly inexperienced in these waters. Are Baseband version, Build number etc important when deciding on a Kernel?
Any advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

Try n3 by wootever, sneakykat and leankernel (last doesn't have so many features but is great for battery & performance) and my personal favorite ael kernel of course.
The kernels are pretty easy to flash just put on SD flash and wipe Cache & dalvik. So don't worry if you don't like the kernel just flash another one.
One more thing don't put two different apps for kernel settings (like Synapse & Trickster) on the device cause that may cause conflicts. Have fun testing

To quote Hacre, an excellent dev on other Samsung devices - wiping cache and dalvik for kernel flashing is like filling your car tires when the gearbox is ruined...

That is pretty hard to answer cause I do not know what settings you prefer. (Performance, battery or a mix of both). Download Trickster from app store or set cpu (for last you have to pay though). At first I would try to set just governor and I/O scheduler. In the link you will find some information. Got helped not too long ago

No for Benchmark maybe but most of the time the phone will crash then.
Personally I take 22565600 as max and 300 min with intellidemand governor and deadline scheduler but every phone works different that's also why you won't find any "perfect" kernel or governor.

Lenovo a6000 - Lollipop or KitKat ?

Hello, im with Lenovo a6000 (not plus) and now im with Kraft S040. Before few days my Lenovo search new upgrade - Kraft S058 KK2L. I want to know who OTA is better S040 or S058_KK2L. I want to know what problems has the latest version (S058) And what is better than S040 ?
Lollipop is better than Kitkat. I have tested using antutu, kitkat's score about 20K, lollipop's score about 23 K.
BUT, we have problem with battery in lollipop. I think it's because of the kernel. in lollipop, when we are using our phone, all cores always reach middle until high frequencies. that's why I'm still using kitkat. Now, I'm using MIUI 7 ROM using custom kernel (MoStock by chhapil).
Stay with kitkat. It's fast and stable. My Lenovo a6000 is very slow and lags a lot since the update to the damn lollipop.

Yup, My device is Lenovo A6000 Plus.
The performance is great. Not too smooth, I think it's because of the ROM.
Battery life is great too, I get about 1 Day 3 hours on normal use.
The charging speed also good, I just need about 3-4 hours.
You must change kernel settings using Kernel Adiutor.
This setting from chhapil:

Hey i know this is rom problem i already faced wifi issue in that rom so i suggest you to use the latest cm 11 ENE by flourmo from techolaty.com
I did not face wifi issue in latest cm 11
Also wait for chhapil's next build then you would share modified kernel

Yes you're right. I have flashed cm 11 ENE from techolaty.com. It didn't have WiFi issue. But after I flashed MoStock kernel I couldn't use it. Maybe because of driver problem for WiFi or something else.

Please share boot.img from cm 11 first because I need the ramdisk (not all cusrom has same ramdisk). So, for safety you must send me your boot.img.
Or you can do it by yourselft, just googling about "porting kernel". It's not complicated at all.
same boot.img as above u shared

MoStock Kernel for MIUI 7
This folder will be updated as soon as chhapil release new build.

Which kernel is everyone using?

I successfully completed the conversion to dev mode and root my device. I have the multi-system kernel at this time but was wondering which kernel gives the best battery life and which are most people using?
The only 2 kernels I am aware of that are available are the emotion and multi-system ones. Is there something else?
My N4 performs well with this multi-system kernel Courtesy of @hsbadr
I've been using the Eceed Kernel by @kairi_zeroblade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-xceed-t3344742
there is a verizon version. I had no problems flashing this onto my jasmine rom 4.3 running android 5.1.1.
One user reported loosing data(4g) with this kernel but didnt give any info on what rom or firmware he was running.
the kernel works great so far, much better battery life. Scores 82,000+ consistently on antutu.
The kernel comes pre configured. The only things you can change if you wish is the cpu voltages, cpu currents, and a couple of read ahead tweaks in Synapse
the only thing I noticed was some camera lag (a bit slower to open and to switch from front to rear) that @kairi_zeroblade said could be due to the strict cpu settings. I believe hes working on a 6.0 MM kernel right now that should work for verizon.
Definitely worth a shot to check it out!!!! If you have any feedback just post in the original thread.

Got same results in antutu which is pretty awesome as fast as s6 but have no data on kyubi'so rom
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224
I use the screen mirroring option all the time. I would say test that out to determine which kernel is best for you. I know one of the kernels floating around doesn't support screen mirroring which is a big no no for me.

Not really big on Viper and over clocking so maybe someone else could shed some light on those features.

Xceed comes pre tweaked. The only thing that may give a little more speed is changing the internal and SD card read ahead from 512 to 2048mb and cfq as the scheduler. Most other adjustments are untouchable

So looks like the kubyi rom will not work with this kernel. :/ I'm guessing the data fix will have to be patched into the Xceed kernel.
I haven't had the time to read through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/running-international-roms-n910t-t3220738
Is it only for the n910t varient?
Does anyone have any info on the data fix for the verizon kernel so maybe @kairi_zeroblade can add it to the next build.?

What info do you want to know about the datafix for Kyubi? It has multisystem kernel included. So far that is the only kernel that is compatible with Kyubi. No changes to the kernel were made to make it work with Kyubi. It just happened to work when I tried flashing Kyubi on our phone. So it became part of the datafix since it worked so well. I think if anything, @kairi_zeroblade should talk with @hsbadr the developer of multisystem kernel. We got lucky that hsbadr's kernel worked !

I was thinking there was some type of patch or fix @hsbadr may have implemented into the multisystem kernel to get it to work. looks like @kairi_zeroblade is focusing on marshmallow though which should be awesome! Can't wait for us to get the update
I just re downloaded emotion kernel and am going to try it for a little bit.. Strange thing is, my battery percent jumped from 20 to 42 after reboot.. I will have to see how it goes..
Sent from my SM-N920F using Tapatalk
I second the Eceed kernel. Im on the jasmine rom and was using the emotion kernel but I noticed a fast drain on the battery. Switched over to Eceed a few days ago and have experienced a huge improvement on battery life, without the sacrifice in speed. Thanks Joemill for the suggestion.
Read about Exceed kernel so I gave it a try and thats the one Im sticking with. Runs great,using Jasmine Rom with it as well,battery life is great and my phone is very quick,highly recommend it.

[ROM] Stock vs. S.ROM/ViperOne

For stability, performance and battery life, which one is best to use?
Stock MM / S.ROM / ViperONE?
Well, I would say Wolla or ICE 8.2.2 Why ? Sun dream did very good work with porting but I don't think anything from htc 10 is good for m8..I got overheating with this rom and lack of personalizing...Not seeing a point to can't personalize it like I want and to use custom rom.Viper, it's not battery friendly to me, also they dropped the support so... I like Wolla cuz is very battery friendly to me.Ice also can be personalized + sense 8 feel.You can get the same experience on viper with any mm rom with xposed framweork I think...I just visited their new rom for htc 10...They so hurry up to come with the first nougat rom and did such a big mess...Funny and pathetic at the same time.
Well I'm currently on SRom SL 2.0.1, and it is super smooth, battery life is great for me, and I have no overheating issues of any sort. The SRom has a bunch of great personalization settings as of the newest updates. Love the rom!
I guess is some of the latest version that i didn't try.

Well, i am not big fan of built-in Custom ROM customizations, for that i like to use Xposed ?
Yesterday i tried ViperONE but it was,meh, i dont know, even that ugly app header in notification center make me feel like this is not for me, so i flashed SRom SL, and while stock Google settings it seemed laggy, and when settings SRom specific thing in phone ive got a random reset
So, for Rom i would like have it to stock as possible - which i though SRom is - and Sense 8, u know, i really like Sense ?

Yes, it is Sense 8.
I prefer Stock Sense 7 for performance and battery.
S.ROM is ok after debloating.

Well, I am performance guy and I have tried all recent ROMs for M8... so I don't use xposed.
Battery life on S.ROM is, I will say it's ok and same as stock sense 7. S.ROM default kernel is super smooth, it has great scrolling, if not best for M8... But multitasking is not good on that ROM. LMK values are high + all booster apps kills apps in background. Memory usage is also bigger compared to stock Sense and GPE, so thats not ok for 2GB device. Boomsound from stock is better for me, on S.ROM sound is different.
Stock rom + debloat + Android 6.0.1 dex2oat compiler(faster app installation) + root + (ElementalX kernel if you like some options) = best combo, at least for me.
JW 5.4.0 + it's stock kernel is smooth, with Elex 6.03 battery is even better.
ICE is also nice and fast stock sense 7 based rom.

Well, do I need S-Off to flash kernel?
Also, I already tried Srom SL lates and restored latest nandroid of stock, so I have stock kernel or do I have to flash stock?
About debloating, what stuff I can safely delete from M8?
What is dex2oat?
And does Root+xposed drain more battery,etc.?
And about JW 5.40...well, what would you do? stay on the 1st way - stock+mods, 2nd way - JW+Elex or wait for HTC 10 Nougat port?

1. Ahh i don't know what can be problem with FB.
2. You don't need S-OFF for ROMs and custom kernels.
3. You have stock + stock kernel only if you restored system + boot from recovery
4. You can delete some HTC apps like, Browser, Tasks, HTC Mode, FB, Twitter, FB/Instagram sense plug-ins, HTC Mail etc.
Or you can freez some of them, like I did. 90 apps froze, no problems:

5. Dex2oat compiler is from Android 6.0.1 and it's for faster app installation. On stock rom app installation is slow, this dex2oat will fix it. You can find dex2oat flashable zip in GPE thread (inside "GPE flashable ROM" SPOILER).
6. Root doesn't drain more battery. Xposed? I don't know, maybe bad modules, but it can cause some bugs.
7. JW 5.4.0 is fastest Android 6.0.1 A9 port. It's faster than HTC 10 roms. You can do what you like, but I would recommend you to try them all

Well, xposed modules only for keyboard tinting,greenify and youtube background .... And is there any real advantages in custom kernel? Like performancr or battery life...and is that dex2oat worth? Does it affect phone in performance and battery life?
And last, should i use those flashable tweak zips that "deliver better performace and battery" or i should avoid it?
Sent from my HTC One (M8) using XDA Labs
I don't know about that flashable tweaks, I don't use them. Same goes for the greenify and xposed. Battery is even great without them. I just need root, good performance/battery and I do not worry about wakelock etc.
You can tweak custom kernels, there are some advantages over the stock, they deliver good performance also and battery. Latest ElementalX has LZ4 zRAM compression which is faster and better than stock LZO.
dex2oat doesn't affect performance and battery, and it's worth.
I will say, ICE (good battery life, if not best from any custom ROM), JW 5.4.0(smoothest, awesome performance), Stock rom(stability/great perfomance good battery) all are great. Try them all and just find what suits you best.

Oh thanks, I will stay on stock with your tips I think And you saying that stock kernel is good but with ElementalX I have better performance also battery?
For me S. Rom is more stable and closer to stock rom, this + Xposed everything what i need.
