Hello all. I have recently flashed AOKP and I am loving it. My only problem is that the phone gets really hot. And not just on this ROM but on anything other than full stock. Why is this? Is there a fix? My friend told me that installing a custom kernel can help. Is there any truth to that? Thank you.

It depends on what you're doing. Of course using alot of apps or playing games will cause the cpu to run at full speed. Its going to get warm.
No just from texting or using the web simple things

Its a known issue on the GS3.
Don't worry about it too much.
The processor is made to handle heat, and it doesn't come close to failing from heat.
If it really bugs you, you can always try a custom kernel and undervolt and under clock to see how it runs.
My GS3 runs extremely hot playing games, (Real Racing 3 to be exact, and it ran so hot I honestly thought the motherboard would start melting lol) I flashed a custom kernel, undervolted and it runs much much cooler now.
But yeah don't worry about it too much
It was made for that

I would try flashing the KT kernel or any other custom kernel u may prefer and see how it runs with that kernel stock settings and then tweak yo or like from there. Keep in mind all phones are different so some ones else's set up or settings may not work the same for u

Btw alcohol was used to create this. Might be flammable.
Awesome, is there a slight rundown of what this has to offer over stock?
well, it may or may not be faster/more battery life. its a test kernel to find build method and make sure things are going to work before putting 1000s of lines of code changes in
Sounds good. Flashing now, will test as much as I can.
Will test also thanks

How's the tests going? How risky is this?

So far it seems to be running well. Run Quadrant and it is using Eco mode as my scores varied by 2000. Don't care about scores just the feel.
The governor is ondemand and uses 1134 alot more. Which is nice not seeing 1512 mostly so battery should be better.
Do have a question though. Do you want us to test different governors? If so, what's the preferred program?
Thanks joker!! It's great to finally have a kernel to play with!!
edit. Decided to use Set CPU. Seems to be working fine. I take that back about using 1134. Guess it just happened to be the speed of choice by what I was running. Still mostly 384 and 1512. And of course Deep sleep
This has worked fine in my testing Bluetooth steaming and calls work without issue. Camera works so does WiFi. I still see the msm host wake lock but it's not that high. Got 20 thousand in antutu so it seems to work without issue.

I didnt do anything to the govenors on this release. This is mainly a basic kernel close to stock with a couple tweaks.

It won't get rid of wake locks. They do have a purpose, but it should reduce them. Hopefully

Flashed no problems. Chuckled at "raping malware" and "licking ICS." We'll see what happens after it settles in over a few days.

So far everything seems to be going well. No stability issues, camera and WiFi work fine, everything runs smoothly. Though its hard to see if this runs better or not since it ran pretty well from stock.
Woohoo! Good to see you back Joker! I was a religious follower in the MoPho forums. I don't post very often but I just wanted to say it's good to see you and I can't wait to see what you do with this ridiculously powerful phone.

I never released the kernel, but yeah I reverted those oc's and decided to handwrite it. Plus I wanted to update stockish.
So Dont use octest1. It was a test.

What's the point of the UC kernel if one can just lower clock speeds on OC kernel and stockish kernel?

The gpu/avp/mem/cpu/etc etc will be underclocked and undervolted. sort of a "hey we have way way to much phone and everything is designed for slower crap anyways so lets also go slow" kinda kernel
Re: jokers kernels 1/17/13
Because these kernels also have libs in the zip, are we OK to just move kernel to kernel?

Title says it all. If I root my S3, it heats up to uncomfortable temperatures. If it's on stock, it runs nice and cool. Battery doesn't seem to be affected by this new heat. And I've tried a lot of kernels and ROMs. Why does my S3 get hot when it's rooted? And I'm not talking like gaming, I'm talking about basic use.

Hm maybe try underclocking a little bit?
Clock speed is same as stock. Shouldn't be the problem.

My friends S3 used to get really hot and he wasn't rooted. I turned off his location service and no more heat. I presume the heat is coming from something that's running in the background. What rooting method are you using? Also you said you've tried ROMs and kernels. Is the heat coming from rooted stock or only when you switch to another ROM and/or kernel?

Location services off. Battery stats say screen takes up most of battery(normal for s3.) I used teamwin root from recovery. Anything other than full stock. Includes rooted stock and custom ROMs/kernels.

Rooting would not cause any extra heating to occur lol
Give these a try. Better Battery Stats will determine if there's a wakelock not letting your phone truly sleep. And CPU Spy will let you know if your phone is getting stuck at any mhz or if it's sleeping.

If it's during use then CPU states. It might be running at higher mhz during use causing the heat problem.

Ya I think my phone always runs at high frequencies. I used performance control to get this. Whenever I touch the screen or do anything, the clock speed jumps up to 1.5Ghz. My governer is interactive.

that's what it's supposed to do. part of the "project butter" tweaks for jelly bean included this type of CPU jump when performing a task. that instant jolt to the maximum device GHz helps make doing everything on the phone more fluid/fast.
to get better battery on your device and troubleshoot whether this feature is hurting you specifically more than helping, feel free to adjust your max speed. start low, at say 1GHz, then bump it up a hundred at a time to find out where your phone is the most comfortable.

Can we maybe explain it as having a device that just run's hot ? It was my first inclination.
OP, maybe I glanced over it at first but you stated you have used many rom's and kernels and got the exact same response on all the ones you used ?
Did you you try going back to stock rooted and seeing how it was from there ? A completely clean slate might be your best idea. The only way a device will get hot is is more power is being used to keep the processor at higher temperatures. There really isn't any other way or than faulty hardware issue.

Guess project butter has a high pricetag. Are there any governers that don't do this? Or is this unpreventable?

its not a price tag. its a script set to take advantage and make the most of the hardware on your phone. as soon as the task has begun, the CPU speed drops immediately.
see above post by hednik. i lean towards his thinking on this

I almost always use ondemand governor. In my humble opinion nearly all the other ones are inefficient or just placebo's. My phone runs streaming radio 4-5 hours a days on LTE and it never gets hot. Stays at around 918mhz at the highest. There a few bugs in 4.1.1 like the media server scanning where it will constantly scan your media because of a bad file.
Odin stock rooted 4.1.1 and then see how it goes. Factory reset it and erase /data or move to to pc or ex sd card. Won't take long and if it still does it I can't see what it would be.
So I am not sure why my phone heats up so much and so quickly. I don't really use it that much either. Before, I had sky note and sometimes beanstalk roms on but it never got hot even when playing games. Now with devil kernel and dual boot of carbon rom and sky note, it gets quite hot on the top area where the ear piece is. Any ideas what causing the abnormal heat up? (already checked the cpu usage and it is barely in the 1600 mhz zone. Mainly deep sleep.)

Could be rom or kernel. I would try different kernal first. If not try different rom. I had that issue with one rom. Switched and everything is all good now.

Sadly I tried different roms and no use. I'm guessing it's rom but then this rom is the only dual boot one

Flash a stock rom. ...And test it...
If the heat goes away. ..you'll know. ..
If the heat remains. ..then it could be hardware damage. ..

Heat destroys hardware. ...g
Hi my note 2 is supper laggy i already rooted it over clocked it , i tried to odin back to stock and still laggy as hell might this just be a defective unit ? Even playing a youtube video there is lag. Anyone help ? thanks

That seems kinda low for an overclock gn2. What ROM are you running? If you are custom right now try stock without any mods to it and see what you get. You also may want to try and undervolt it. Also check what CPU settings you are running using setcpu or nofrills. Change the setting to performance and see if that helps.

If it were me, I'd focus on getting my imei back and starting with a fully functional phone. Playing with unsupported (for our device) roms (such as the TW 4.3) or modems is a typical way to lose the imei. I am referring to the other request for support thread you posted.
Lag sucks. Not being able to use your phone as a phone is worse. Focus on one problem at a time.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
4.1.2, no OC whatsoever, and my phone is a Beast!
Given the status of my phone. Being on custom clean rom didnt really need to OC or anything. OC tends to make my note 2 unstable and bring the battery life down a little. Think the cons out weighs the pros really.

Hello, I've been having some serious problems with lag and choppiness in games. My phone is rooted and I am running Wicked ROM V8 with KT kernel. The game I am the most upset about is The Amazing Spiderman. The game is so laggy and slow it's downright unplayable. My S2 ran it so much better. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what I can do to solve these issues.
