[Q] Help needed. Gaming and overclocking in Mimicry 1.5.0

Im sorry to bother with this, its probably been asked many times, but after navigating through hundreds of pages I find myself even more lost than when I started. I installed Mimicry 1.5.0 rom a while ago after reading that it overclocks to 1.2ghz on boot thinking I wouldnt need any other tweaking for playing games but recently I've installed a few that dont work any well, like Frozen Synapse, Real Racing 2 and emulator Mupen64.
Could anybody tell me if there is any way I can increase gaming experience with this rom and how? For now the only thing I've done is install SDBooster which Im not even sure its helping. Thanks in advance.

Im just looking for an app name, or a thread I can follow, please...

overclock cpu to 1.5 ghz with:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU&hl=en
I can play minion rush almost flawless.

Thanks! I've tried changing th clock to 1.5 in the performance settings of Mimicry's rom but when I try to play a game it freezes completely and I have to remove the battery to restart the phone. I'll try that app to see is it runs more stable and I'll post the result later.

Did you enable v6 supercharger? I found that to lagg the vision

I dont know how you enable or disable V6 supercharger, where is the option?
I've been testing tha No-Frills CPU Control and works a little better at 1.5 but still not good enough.
I also wanted to ask about the Memory management options, should I use zRam and enable "Allow purging of aasets" and "Kernel samepage merging"?

With mimicry its an option in the aroma install

Then Im pretty sure I chose it, probably because I read it worked great. Is there anyway to change it without having to reinstall the rom?

To disable androcharger (blk_jacks modded supercharger) just flash the aroma installer and choose to disable androcharger, this won't reflash the ROM unless you tell it to do so, just replaces the patched services.jar.
Or if you prefer you can manually replace it as well, just unzip the ROM and find the stock services.jar, boot to recovery and use adb to push it, then fix permissions and your good

I set that to optimum, and found that work for most any rom even sense on the desire z

[Q] Trying to overclock SGH-T889 (need help)

I have been able to root my Note 2 but I haven't had any luck with overclocking. I use ODIN to flash "root66_TMO_T889UVUCMK7_2.tar" to root the phone and then I use ROM toolbox to flash TWRP and then I reboot into recovery and have installed the following ROM's "Jedi MasterX2", "Jedi Master 18", "Jedi-X20", "Hyper-Speed", "Avatar ROM for Notes II", and when I use Trickster MOD it never shows any speeds above the stock 1600 Mhz. I used to be able to use the same process (different Roms of course) with my Samsung Galaxy S but I can't seem to overclock this note II. I'm sure I'm missing something, hopefully someone out there can help. Thanks in advance for the help.

You'll need a kernel that supports overclocking for a start. Agni or Devil are two.

So I had tried flashing "Saberkernel" and "PlasmaKernel" in recovery but then my phone starts to boot up and shows the Samsung Galaxy Note II boot screen and then it appears to shut off and I can only get it in download or recovery mode and I have to reflash it with ODIN again. I will give the two that you mentioned a try and see what kind of luck I have. Thanks for the help!:good:

So I have found Agni Kernel but it appears to be for i9305. I can't seem to find one for the SGH-T889. Using the wrong one will mess my phone up wont it?

So I was able to install Devil using CM recovery and now if I boot into recovery I see that it installed properly because I now have the option for a dual boot setup. However when I go to open Trickster Mod the highest setting I have for my CPU is still 1600 MHz. Is there some setting I have to change? I also have another question. I have purchased both Trickster Mod and ROM toolbox pro, which one would be better for control over my CPU profiles?

you picked the wrong devil kernel. get the one that says devil2. actually it sounds like you flashed devil recovery instead of the kernel

agni kernel is a really good choice for 4.3 and for asop
ill put up a link to both kernels so you cal flash. all credits go to them

Thank you everyone for the help!
@ mattlowry - Yep, you were right! I flashed the wrong one. I flashed Devil2 and got it to finally work. Only thing is I only raised it to 1704 MHz and I started to have some issues. I received a text and my phone locked up. I had to pull the battery and it worked fine for a few hours and then I went to check the time on my phone and it had shut off.
@ce321 - Thank you for the links. I will give Agni a try and hopefully it will be a little more stable.

Update: @ce321 - That link for Agni is just what I needed. I flashed Agni and it has been working perfectly without a glitch! I love the easy customization. Thank you so much! :victory:

No problem and same here. If only jedi master x2 would be the same. I like the rom but evrrytime I use jedi master x2 it would almost always randomly reboot. Im actually gonna go back to jedi master 18 i felt it was smoother

[Q] overclock kernel for rooted tab 3?

hi all, first let me apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere, i did my best to search the forum but i'm not sure about the results, so allow me to post a specific question. i have a tab 3 8.0 t311 wifi+3g, rooted, and with phil touch 6.08.9 recovery mod..... now i just miss a kernel that allows overclocking beyond the stock 1500 mhz frequency, but i can't find it.... i'm talking kernel and not rom because i don't want to wipe out the tablet and make a factory reset, and i understand that flashing a kernel doesn't require to factory reset the tablet.... i just want to try some overclocking, that's all.... is there something that i can use ? thanks,

press thanks buddy if it helped but it will surely

first of all thanks for your reply, the file you linked has "t310" in the name, you sure it's ok for the t311 also ? do you know where i can find more info about it before installing ? what are the new cpu frequency limits of this kernel, if it has a dedicated app to manage the settings, etc. ?

Thanks for the link. I been looking for a custom kernel.

Hello There!
I currently have a T-mobile Note 3 Phone working with Metro PCS (Yes I switched the carrier) and everything seems to be working fine so far.
My phone is currently rooted and I also sucessfully flashed W03 SlimKat 27.1 so far I love this ROM.
My current kernel version is: 3.4.0 W03 Slim Kernel Tuesday Oct 7 2014.
Do you think I need this kernel update?: CAF-W03-Slim hlte v1.0i (10/10/2014)
If so, can you please tell me how to succesfully flash this kernel update? Do I need to wipe/clean the current kernel before installing this update?

You just flash it like a ROM, no need to wipe anything, just flash. You'll get to a menu asking for options, if in doubt, stay with the default and just hit next.
If you want to get back your current (stock ROM) kernel, just reflash the ROM without wiping anything and you're back.
It's always a good idea to make a nandroid backup, you never know

Hello There!
Just in case I wiped the cache and delvik cache before flashing your custom kernel.
I followed the menu options and I only flashed the kernel (your custom kernel) since I thought if I flash something else I will have to re do the settings and install my phone apps again.
If I want to go back to the default ROM's Kernel, just flash the W03 ROM and that's all? without wiping or deleting anything? How about my phone settings and apps? Will they still be there?

Yep.
But if you just flash my kernel (first menu choice) you're mostly on stock and don't profit from any of the benefits.
Reflash and go through the menus, just hit "Next" till you're through.
To get back, just reflash the ROM without wiping.
Your settings won't get lost.
But as I said, you should make a backup, it's always the safest thing to do.

First of all, thank you for your quick tech support.
I did reflash your custom kernel and this time many windows options appeared and I just hit next until the end.
Everything seems to be working fine but can you please in a user friendly language tell me 3 o 5 simple facts of the benefits of flashing your kernel?
Also what is Wipe Cache and Delvik cache? I read somewhere else that it is a good idea to do this in order to install a new kernel .

Well you do use :
- different governor (handles CPU frequency)
- different hotplug driver (faux's intelliplug, that's handling CPU on-/offlining)
- touchwake (allows to wake the device by touching the screen when it times out)
- fastcharge (allows charging faster on USB chargers)
- etc. etc.
Might be worth having a read here and then here (Changelogs).
Dalvik cache wiping for kernels is useless, it won't hurt, but you'll lost time as you'll have to wait for it to be rebuilt on boot ("Android is updating your apps..."), cache partition can be usefull in my kernel's case, as it will help Aroma with an issue that sometimes settings don't get generated, so that you can do, won't cost much time. But in general for all kernels not using Aroma (menu system you saw while flashing), there's no need.

Hello, I would love to test Google's new Inbox on this GEM of a Rom. Anyone have an invite ?
Inviato dal mio SM-N900W8

I'm currently running v27. Is it safe to dirty flash to 28? Do I need to flash to 27.1 first?
Also I've noticed that video playback freezes occasionally when I seek repeatedly. Is this a common issue? Does it get fixed in the new release?

My smart cover only activates while closed and power button is pressed and not through calls. Is there an option to enable smart phone covers or has it not been implemented?

Safest way to update from V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel to V28?
I have a similar question:
I am currently running V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel but I would like to try out this V28 ROM update but I don't want to download and install my apps and settings all over again since they are a lot.
I am also using Nova Launcher and it looks like Nova Launcher was remove from V28.
Does any body know what will be the safest way to update from V27.1 (with Yank555 Kernel) to V28 (with the Stock kernel)?

Has development stopped on this rom? Not getting any news updates. Thanks in advance.

Note 3 sm-n9006
Hi, I have a legit SM-N9006 3g Chinese variant on a touchwiz 4.4.2 rom, I am kind of new to roms and I'm wondering if the Slimkat rom would work for my phone. Thank you very much

Does this rom work on international note 3?

protected apps v28
I'm really liking this ROM. Great job.
I wanted to know if the protected apps feature is still in this ROM somewhere. If so, I can't seem to find it. Or, was it stripped out?

Hi everyone
I've been reading alot about this ROM and I really want to give it a shot
problem is ,, I have CWM recovery installed ,, can I use it to flash or TWRP is a must?
go easy on me, I'm a noob in all sense of the word
edit: boy.. looks like the last question to be answered was 6 months ago!!

Hi guys. I'm pretty new at this whole flashing thing and I've been working on a Note 3 (N900T) my uncle wasn't using anymore. I have been working on this for a few days now and this is the first thread I've come across that has a lot of success. I'd appreciate the help. I've tried to install the ROM from this thread but I got "e: failed to verify whole-file signature" when trying to install. Here's what I've done so far.
Wiped cache/user data.
run the ROM from the SD card (fat32) then that's when i get the error message.
Thanks in advance for the help.

[Q] Which ROM should I be using?

Hi,
I'm new here (hallo @all) as I'd like to install CM on my Tab3 8.0" mainly because of the privacy-settings (have to use some apps who requiere more Rights than they need, 3rd-party-tools are not working, but my Xperia running CM can block unnecessary Access-Requests without distrubing the functionality of the App)
So actually I'm not sure if I should give the CM12 a chance (or try CM11) as Images can be found in the Development-Thread...
I'd need following things working:
Wireless
Bluetooth
Frontcamera (for Skype)
SD-Card (as I've read threads mentioning problems with ext. SDCards)
(Video-Playback from DLNA-Sources (and/or from SD-Card) would be great)
and as a must:
Privacy-Settings (readjust app-Entitlements) must be running...
...everything else working is great, of course (especially no big(ger) drain on Batterylife than with stockROM)...
...reading this - which ROM would you recommend me?
Shall I give gr8nole's CM12 a chance or are other Images more suitable for my requirements?
Thanks for your answers and sorry if I should have posted in the wrong Section...
Cheers,
the unlucky

If you want everything to work AND to have the ability to adjust app permissions, you should give my NoleKat rom a try. I have enabled the App Ops feature in settings.

This is my first time to root a tablet. I have successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 7 (SM-T210R). But know I dont know were to go from here. I see posted about removing bloats from the system, and overclocking but not sure what I should do. Any suggestions, I was leaning toward installing CM11 but have not took that leap yet.
Thanks gr8nole for the hours you have spent programing for us novice guys.
