[Q] couple straightforward questions - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So, these should be somewhat straightforward....please don't flame me if they are stupid I just want to know and can't find the straight goods
1. In system tuner pro, when I select force all cpu online, is that a good idea? I notice when I don't have it selected, then only two cores seem to even ever be used. There aren't even time slots for the other two no matter how much or hard I use my nexus. If I select force all cpu online then I find that, with the faux123 kernel anyways (haven't tried other ones yet) then all cores seem to stay at 1.51ghz even when I push the clock rate up. With them not forced on, I can push them as high as the kernel goes and there are no issues they both max at that speed. Any ideas here?
2. Is it a good idea to force all cores online?
3. Is there any other way to ensure that all four cores get used when they are need? Or is system tuner just not showing me them being used?
4. Are there any kernels out right now that are made for cm10.2 based roms? I asked faux123 about using his kernel and he told me that cm is based on some kind of Qualcomm base whereas many other roms are aosp based, which is what he wrote his kernel for. After asking if they were compatible he said there may be problems as there are don't differences, so I'm scared to try it now....hate gong to the hassle of having to reflash every time something goes awry
I know there was one more but since I forget this is good for now....thanks in advance for any and all help!
Kp

1) Questions in the Q&A(rules in stickies)
2) I think you're in the wrong forum, the gnex only 2 cores.
That aside, the n4(I assume you're talking about the n4) using 2 cores most of the time is normal, seen it somewhere in the n4 board.

[Q] overclocking desire causes reboot and crash

Current phone rom and radio in sig.
Im using SetCPU and anything over 1036Mhz will eventually crash. Anything over 1113Mhz will cause instant crash and reboot-to-crash loop.
I've tried other CPU programs and the same thing happens.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not simple set the CPU and have it run at that speed, or is there another mod I should have completed before attempting to overclock?
I've tried search, nothing came back relevant. If there is a thread I've missed feel free to link.
Many thanks.
overclock a device that is much faster then anyother device to make it even faster?! bit greedy wouldnt you say? anyways.. it is very likely that you might have damaged your CPU.. use search button seen this problem before
I wouldn't say I'm greedy but overclocking is available and when there are a lot of CPU heavy apps, things can slow down. I wouldn't necessarily say I am running a lot, but I like the smoothness o/c brings. For the few seconds before it crashes.
If it was damaged then it wouldn't work at all. I don't think that is the answer I'm looking for. Thanks all the same.

yeah I know.. that why we have cutom ROM, make the most of the phone we pay for
tried helping, with my limited knowledge about o/c'ing .. sorry !
if it's like PC overclocking, then it won't damage it unless you overvolt it - although some mods will allow this (custom kernels).

{Script} CPU1 disabler while in sleep!!! The Battery Saver Mod!

Script Version!
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
CPU Sleeper
Honestly the Script can be made to work with any Dual Core / Quad Core! The Only Problem is you need to be Rooted!
~ Currently the issue with CM9, is that the boot becomes incomplete while in init.d folder without Modification to the sysinit..
~ however, with any rooted device you can download the script & continue to use it via a script manager app on every boot.
~ With the Script Manager App, this script virtually can run on any Multi-Processor CPU
Hope that clears things Up,
~~Eugene

What is it?
Its a fairly simple script that will put CPU 1 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1 back ONLINE.
How does it work?
Since we have dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1, core 1 and core 2, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active, this script will make sure CPU 1 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
WARNING! READ THIS!
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
Instructions
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
Version 1: Flashable
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
Version 2: Script only
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
Init.d supported kernel:
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
Script Manager
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
What do I do if I can't boot after using this?
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.
Downloads
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
Dual Core:
Download: Script Only - Recommend Install via Script Manager App
CPU Sleeper script only
Quad Core:

Thanks! It's been confirmed working perfect for all Dual / Quad Cores device with no ill effect..
I think that this script is placebo effect if someone thinks to see a difference in battery life. On the Galaxy Nexus this maybe is a battery saver, but on the Galaxy s3 Samsung has delivered us the pegasusq governor and controls every core for itself. So your script doesn't change anything in the functionality if I understand it correct what it does. Because without this script the phone shuts down the uneeded cores, so where's the difference?
L
@ the op, what are you getting in terms of time without charge?
I've seen these ideas come and go and I give you merit for trying.
What is your up time from max charge to depletion?
If it works it works and I'm sure people will use it , we just need to make sure it's not a placebo and that it is actually saving battery.
Is there any lag on wake? Does the script ever cause too deep a sleep, forcing a restart or battery pull? What's been your experience?
I am curious about this because I've found the battery life on this phone to be no better than my evo 3D.
Many thanks.

I'll give it a go and let you guys know how I find the mod under different situations.
Thanks for sharing OP!
edit: Isn't this what a Tegra 3 does? It has 4 cores and a sleep core. This might be good for non Tegra 3 devices but I can't see this helping.

No lag, battery is increased & there is no placebo!
This has been confirmed from Quad-core users before even posting it...... You only see Battery increase during sleep, if you are a heavy user then likely no you will not see any increase......
however, this works great due to android even when asleep still uses all the CPU..... I Don't f'k care if it's being report offline.....
when asleep, this scripts force all CPU offline until awake, as 1 cpu asleep can handle everything the phone is doing.

hmmm, I've watched how the cores behave for quite some time via adb. Actually everytime I send the phone to sleep mode aka push power button, core 1-3 is going offline. So I guess pegasusq does its work already
I downloaded the script in order to place in init.d but it was downloaded as a .txt file, what should the file extension be/how do I download it without altering the extension?

When you say script manager, do you mean SManager from Google Play?
This is a nonsense implementation. I don't advise anybody to use it.
It's a while loop just trying to send the CPUs into offline mode every 2 seconds per CPU, or every 6 seconds per CPU if you're turning off 3 cores. It does absolutely nothing to prevent the cores from powering up in terms of hot-plug logic and it can even decrease the battery life if there is some kind of load that would trigger a CPU to get online; so CPUs might just go online and then get shut down.
Edit: Oh, you also absolutely fail to mention that this script will turn on all 4 CPUs while screen on, completely disregarding hotplugging.

Stop whining and address the issues at hand. Turn on DVFS debugging in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/pegasusq/dvfs_debug and open a terminal to monitor /proc/kmsg either on your own device or through ADB to test the screen off nonsense; the core statistics with load of each core, if they're online or not, the runqueue lengths and the frequency for each sampling period of the governor.

I don't know what you mean by this unintelligible piece of gibberish, but I assume you are asking why having multiple CPUs if they are not online. The CPUs are turned on based on load and turned off when idling when there is nothing to do to preserve power. Hotplugging has worked since ever and it works perfectly. I don't know what planet you lived on or what credentials you have to earn that recognized developer title but you have clearly no idea of what you are talking about and have some issues with dealing with criticism.
This script certainly decreases screen-on battery life and in a best case-scenario does nothing to idle time, and in a worst-case scenario decreases it and conflicts with other scaling logics of the processor.

I tested it already and posted how to see the facts and statistics in my last post. You don't own the device, I do.
I see now that you're just very severely confused. This is the INTERNATIONAL (i9300) Galaxy S3 forum. The quadcore or any Exynos for that matter has proper and working hot-plugging. This is not running on Qualcomm processors. Re-read the last 2 phrases 10 times.
Now go back to my last post and read what I wrote before you starting releasing things for a) The wrong device b) Having no clue about the device you are releasing something for. I consider you are clueless since there is currently no quad-core CPU on the planet right now in mobile phones which does not support hot-plugging, so you couldn't have mixed that up.
Your confirmation is coming from some random people which know even less about the facts and installed that script just yesterday, making it worthless and meaningless.
Feel free to argue this with other users as I'm done here.
Edit: By the way, I see that you created a copy of this thread for every single ****ing variant of the S3 [1],[2],[3],[4] (Way to go with all US versions being in the same sub-forum category!). While I don't have access to any of those, I'm fairly sure they also have working hot-plugging.

[Q] Kernel Apps

Is there other apps that function like Trinity/Franco/Glados app? Because currently, I don't want to shell out a few bucks. I know i'm cheap, but just for now... Is there another app that is similar to those but free?
Also, I searched up SmartFlex, but I can't find an answer... Can anyone explain what it does?
I searched it, but I got answer like the system does not control CPU voltage or something.
Regarding the kernel apps... I don't think you'll find that in a free version. You could flash AOKP, which has some of those functionalities built-in the Rom Control menu in the Settings. There you can at least overclock & undervolt. For all the options you'll have to get the paid app however. Maybe reconsider buying them? At least the money goes to a good cause (that is the devs making those great kernels )
For the SmartFlex, I suppose you mean Smartreflex? I'm no expert on the matter, but as far as I know it's used to calibrate the voltages of the different hardware components like CPU & GPU. Turning off Smartreflex (if you've undervolted) will result in those components using 'stock' voltages, thus draining your battery faster. Difference should be minimal though, but I suppose it all depends on how far you undervolt.
Be wary with that by the way, too much undervolting could make your system unstable and in worst case damage the hardware...
Hm, one last question. For trinity kernel the Color Preset, it means the color setting is already in place right? So you don't have to adjust..
No you don't need to change the settings, but in the end it boils down to your own preference. Usually the defaults are fine of course.

How to undervolt

I am new to the whole idea of undervolting. I have previously overclocked my phone's but never undervolted. Is there a how to guide anywhere in the forums that i failed to find, if not can someone explain the steps and settings that they found stable on their phones with out a significant performance decrease. I am already rooted and have an overclock/undervolt kernal installed. I apologize if i missed this topic in a search.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
First step would be to go to the kernel thread and see how/what app should be used for the under volt/governor/i/o scheduler settings and install that. Different kernel makers may want you to use different methods.
Second, under volt settings will be different for every phone as the hardware is different. The best way is to take down every frequency 25mV at a time and do not use set at boot or any option like that. The reason for this is that you need to make sure your phone will be stable. If you set at boot and go too far and your phone reboots, you may be stuck in a boot loop and have to reinstall your ROM. After trying your phone for awhile and it seems stable reduce the voltage again and try it out continuing these steps until your phone becomes unstable/reboots/lags then raise your voltages the next step up. Try again for a bit and if all is well then you can utilize the set at boot option.
Remember every phone is different, only lower your voltages till what is good for you, doesn't matter if someone else with same ROM kernel can under volt further, they just have different hardware.

[Q] Any way to speed up CM 10.1 or is there a liter ROM of it?

EDIT: *lighter, forgot to check spelling. Lol
So my Evo 3D has finally called it quits and I have one month left till I leave Sprint so my friend gave me this phone that he doesn't use any more. For such an old phone I really can't complain about it, compared to my Evo 3D which runs CM 10.1 too it never crashes, always has GPS, 3G, 4G working fine and the battery lasts me all day. So I'm in love. But my one and only issue is it is extremely slow. And no I will not leave CM 10.1 as I use Google Now very often but if their are huge differences/opportunities for huge differences I'll go down as low as CM 10 or a different 4.0+ ROM.
So I was wondering is there a lite version of CM 10.1, recommended kernels that support both overclocking and undervolting, can someone explain how to make a swap partition on the SD card, and so on, just any ways to free up RAM, speed up the CPU/GPU, and lighten the load of the OS.

"Light version": do it yourself with a root-enabled explorer. Google and you'll know what system apps can be deleted.
OC&UV kernel: Nitest maybe.
Swap: IDK
Free up RAM and speed up: I personally use Autostarts and Advanced Task Killer (Pro), but Greenify seems easier to use. You get ~80MB free RAM after a clean install, but can get 190~220MB after heavily using these. I don't use gapps so YMMV.

I've already deleted every system app I'm comfortable removing using Root Uninstaller. After having everything I have to have installed on the phone, with as many apps set to not run in the background that I can and Greenify helping too, I tend to have 10-70MB of RAM free, it tends to be 15-35MB free though. I don't use task killers since all they do is play cat and mouse and waste battery, and tried a few auto start managers but can't really get into using it with how complicated they are. Right now the main thing I want to figure out is getting a swap partition up and running since that sounds the most promising with how little RAM this phone has.
Did a backup and switched to the nitest-0721 kernel and so far it's doing good. Disappointed the OC only goes up to 1.2GHz but it's better than nothing (don't understand kernels that limit how much you can OC when it's up to you to find how much your phone can OC), hopefully I can find a way to get it to go higher, and the "voodoo color" is weird but I can install a different version of the kernel to remove that if my eyes don't adjust first. Anyways... my free RAM now stays between 100-200MB, usually about 160MB, with 18% zRAM, purging of assets, and samepage merging enabled which is amazing. Apps are opening faster and don't stutter anywhere near as much as before, so I'm happy but will see how things go tonight when I go to work and am playing with it on and off, along with need to find a way to really overclock it.

Try going with one of didhiy's nitest kernels and maybe a different AOSP ROM, like AOKP, PAC, etc. Or try out SuperNexus even. That's an extremely lightweight ROM with no customization options (Its straight up stock Android, just like a brand new Nexus phone), but its fast and quite stable from what I remember.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Or find one of didhiy's nutest kernels, those have live oc, more free ram, and i believe it goes to 1.4 GHz. I'm not sure though. But it is less stable than nitest

Well I've run this kernel for a week or so now with the smartassv2 governor and min/max at 100/1200MHz. Zero reboots unless I'm playing Minecraft the entire phone locks up other than the button lights, no matter what I do it crashes sooner or later but oh well I'm bored of that game just wanted to see if it'd play on this phone. ANYWAYS I've heard of it being done before but can't find any info on how to do it, how can I overclock past what the kernel allows (1.2GHz), I've seen reports of this phone handling 1.5GHz and want to see if I can reach 1.4.

1.5GHz is history (too unstable and hot so that devs stopped including it), and only Gingerbread/ICS custom ROMs can get that frequency via flashing corresponding Sanders/Shadow/Samurai kernels and overvolting as well, which is definitely not good.

I just seriously hate kernels that limit how high you can overclock instead of making OC options to unreachable levels letting you find your phones limits. People make kernels, roms, hacks, etc so we can get around limitations that the hardware vendors put up. So if we've managed to circumvent the manufacturers blocks why are the same people that got around them making their own blocks, they already put up silly warnings about anything you install/do could break your phone but if you're going to give that warning it needs to be true. Anyways ending my rant lol...
I know their has to be a way to edit a kernel or file to add more options since the kernel creators can't do the job themselves, it's just finding out what and where these files are. Can anyone inform me on this and give me details on how this whole system of controlling clock speed works so it can be modded?

Uh, AFAIK, isn't these frequency decided only when the kernel is COMPILED (from source code)? I don't exactly know...
