I see it in developer options but I don't know what it does
Does it make the phone faster or something?

I don't exactly know, but I always keep it unchecked because it likes to make a lot of apps look wonky or not work. I suppose we'all know soon enough, though.

It forces 2D hardware acceleration in older apps that aren't hardware accelerated. Sometimes it'll make older apps behave weird because they are not built for HW acceleration. I always leave mine checked and haven't had any real issues thus far.

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

You can try to download no frills CPU control.should be able to overclock when you need it then, just make sure you have root (su)

@above Still, the max is set to 1.2
Side question: say I don't want to install a separate app: what files should I have to mod to select the governor and maximum frequency?
Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Audio lag I believe can be fixed in inception v2 with voodoo sound.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda premium
Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Isnt it just easier to kill the running apps before playing the video, than setting another oc just to play it. your reasons for doing these are too strange...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

you can kill the facebook app by logging off then it should be able to close.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

I just did a full unroot twice and being on stock seems somewhat smoother and less "chunky" than any of thr custom roms I have tried. All clean installs. I would appreciate any idea why I still have stutters and not fluid motions on anything.

Truthfully...it's not.

This rom when installed correctly blows stock out of the water. Add the Nova launcher..and tweak the settings...and you will see exactly what I mean.Use the latest TWRP..and wipe correctly...and you won't want to go back to stock...ever.
He has a new update coming soon...which will add even more to it.
No need to go full unroot if you have Triangle away & TWRP

Whatever im on, scrolling is just chunky and switching between apps even with jelly thunder....it is much less on stock but still there

Don't know what to tell ya...mine doesn't. Are you using Nova ? In it..you can change the settings to increase the speed for what your wanting..
Mine even without it isn't chunky or stutter..but is much much faster with the tweaks enabled in Nova.

Im on the same side. Been a flashaholic for years and noticed stock ROM always equal or better. Maybe not about performance But MOST Are Battery Life which I need the most. Enjoying stock 4.12 int S. Africa ROM now and no need to flash anything else.

No issues here with any of 3 different roms. What apps are you running or is it like this immediately after flashing? sounds like something is running in the background causing your problem. Is media scan running constantly? Need more info on what is going on in the background to diagnose.

He is meaning thishttp:// http://www.thefreedictionary.com/_/dict.aspx?word=clunky
The stock rom is chunky. ..it's full of bloat. ..
Most custom roms are de-bloated already.
Sounds like he had a bad install. ..and flashed a stock rooted rom...

Maybe try to reduce the Animated Scale setting under Settings - Developer Options from 1x to 0.5x or below? Toggle GPU rendering setting in there as well.
I also agree that a lot is dependent on your launcher. Nova is good to compare too *only* if you optimize it's settings to set all to "Faster than light"

haha...I am meaning the phone stutters and lags durring scrolling and moving between windows and applications even when using nova and faster than light settings with the transitions to 0.5. It does not seem smooth as it is supposed to be.
I agree. Rooted doesn't scroll as well.

I'm on the newest version of CleanRom. I much prefer it to stock. There are a lot of features I can't live without. Still, the price you pay is with scrolling. It's jerky compared to stock, especially when you are slow scrolling. Fast scrolling is not an issue.
Yeah, I don't know what you talking about. I'm running Jedi X6.1.2 and I don't feel a performance difference, but I do have a lot of nice goodies stock doesn't have.
OP should make a video to show people his problem
I experience none of that with jedi or cleanrom

I know what he means. I also started a thread about jerky scrolling. Some people seem to have decent eyes they just dont realize or never seen a fluid scrolling capable samsung rom. My stock browser is buttery smooth even with heavy picture loaded wep pages. However tapatalk and facebook and some apps are super jerky. Even setting menu of phone is very jerky. Unbelievable. They are jerky when u scroll only with medium speed. If you scroll very slow or very fast its smooth.
This is very annoying for me. So I flashed every available rom and kernel and tried every rom/kernel combo. I think I found the solution.
Seems like The problem is caused by cpu governer + rom type. So I tried some stock roms that are very smooth and that are jerky.
I got the best scrolling with note2core kernel and ONLY IF you select iNTERACTIVE governer. Perseus and other kernels only have pegasusq governer. Once I made it interactive they all became super smooth.
If you are running perseus kernel or such u can also test this by selecting "performance" governer. It basically keeps your cpu in highest level. And your scrolling becomes buttery smooth.
It has something to do with cpu levels I guess. With pegasusq there is not much load to trigger higher cpu levels so it uses low levels.
I suggest you to try note2core with interactive governer.

the lag should be enough, i did it on my galaxy s3 i had one that seemed to have alot of micro lag......if they can see it they should replace it. Most likely they will ask you to show them the problem, tell them you have a friend with the note 2 and you dont see any of this on his phone and think that it must be a bad unit. they should just replace it if its within the alotted time. just keep complaining you didnt pay that much money for a device to be as laggy as a last years gen phone and so on blah blah blah.....they should give you a new one.
I've read conflicting things about this. Does this option use more battery or does it conserve it?

This won't have much affect on almost anything we use due to almost all apps, if not all, already utilize the GPU for rendering so it really won't help us.

If you have the ability depending on your ROM, just disable HW overlays so you utilize the GPU better by only using it for screen compositing.

As this may pertain to samsungs internel hardware, i just wanna confirm if anyone on these launchers on this phone has experinces this little jitter lag when you scroll thru homescreens..seems as if when you swipe the screen stutters and doesnt move to the next one..also when u scroll fast thru homescreens it does this..if there is a fix please direct me to it..its so annoying when i cant find anyone talking about this.. Thanks
I used my friends phone on Apex and Nova and it didnt stutter at all.... and besides, its a dual core processor Snapdragon™ just powering a launcher, i dont think lags would occur. Even if they would, i find it minimal.
EDIT: my friend's phne is the intl version with the Exynos 4412 Quad so i dont know if it applies to ya. You could try flashing MPEngine™ 12SE because the script minimized lags on my phone clocked at 184-921MhZ
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
A stutter here and there isn't abnormal. If you are getting stuttering on almost every transition, that definitely isn't normal.
Assuming you are running stock, you might want to consider a custom ROM which tend to be smoother. You could also try just rooting and playing with your CPU clock settings.

Thanks guys..i been runnin custom roms and launchers since day one.dnt knw what could cause it..maybe ppl dont notice it..it isnt lag really it seems like sometimes it seems like it doesnt make a complete transition idk its weird..gs2 after ics update had the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Try changing the animation and transition speed. Lower the number, faster it is. Also, if that doesn't work you can try disabling hw overlays. All those are under Developer Options. Here are my settings on Paranoid Android, but i use the same settings for any ROM i run (i did not disable hw overlay, but there's the option)
I think it may be with the hardware..its more of lil stutters in transition pages than lag..havent seen samsung addresss it thou :/
