Every once and a while when im running SetCPU my phone freezes and it says "Sorry Application HTC Sense (in process com.htc.launcher) is not responding" Force close or wait. Then if i hit wait it just freezes my phone, and if i hit force close my phone restarts...
Does anyone else have this problem? Im running the RUU with hydra #2 kernel. I don't think its the kernel, ive had the same problem with the kings kernels too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Ditto for me. I am running Redemption Rom v 2.0.2. Tried King's #4, got eyeball-flattening speed, but same lockup/lag w/ sense. For me anyway, Hydra's #4 kernel worked well with this ROM - no lag or f/c.
All that said, I got stability & speed with my setup after reading the 'What's your Setup' thread in this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8221617
What I learned was how folk used setCPU, and what I was not doing correctly. At this point in time, I am getting speed and stability from King #3, with Redemption ROM. I found dimebagdan's input particularly helpful.
Will you please tweak your settings after reading that, and post your findings?

Why are you running Setcpu when also running Hydra Kernel at the same time, if I'm not mistaken that's never a good idea.
Also which version of Setcpu you're using?
if you're using the one on the market, that's no good.
Another thing if you're trying to overcloked Setcpu at the Max that'll freeze your phone.
Go to the SetCPU and and press menu and select Perflock Disabler. This is intended for HTC phones running on certain kernels. You will get a little popup that explains more.

SetCPU and Hydra Kernel CAN be run together. Setting SetCPU to the "max" will only lockup sometimes on some phones.

SPECS: Samsung Galaxy Nexus Unlocked gsm on MTS. running AOKP root franco kernel milestone 4 and nova launcher. Basically i go into the app set cpu and everytime it will grant it permissions but once i leave the app it doesnt say its running in the backround under settings, running apps. and i can tell jus by the overall speed of the phone. ive tried all i can think of including: Fixing Permissions, checking the remeber box on the app under superuser, reinstalling the kernel, downgrading the kernel to milestone 3, running it on the stock launcher?, reboot, i even factory reset my phone! setCPU (and any other overclocking app) refuse to run in the backround ive looked everywhere and can NOT find an answer any ideas?
Here, i use voltage control app and need to run just one time and the app don´t need to stay running on background.
it only works if i keep the app open in multitasking as soon as i close it my phone slows down, but thanks for showing it to me its much faster than setcpu or at least seems faster. guess ill jus wont swipe it away
So I have the i9020T (from Wind in Canada). I enjoyed running CM9 nightlies on it, but then Jellybean came along and I went nutso over it (like so many others). I flashed back to stock ICS, and then ran the OTA update on it to JB.
My experience has been disappointing. It was unfathomably slow. It was running-Windows-7-on-a-Pentium-III slow. The new UI and features are glorious, but I need a lot of patience if I expected to use them. I'm talking about delays of around 5 seconds to start an app, switch apps, or even open the app drawer, 2-3 seconds lag when bringing up the keyboard, and 5-10 seconds to bring up Google Now.
I automatically decided to nuke everything and start from a clean slate. I grabbed the 4.1.1 stock image from Google, then formatted /system and threw it on. After the initial setup, and before I even got to rooting the thing (never mind restoring from Titanium), it was still muscle-atrophyingly slow.
I ended up just restoring all of my apps and data, and using it as-is, figuring this is what I should expect from an older device. Yet everyone online raves about how much faster JB is than ICS on the Nexus S. Either you're all trolling me really hard, or I'm doing something very wrong.
Here's some more gory details:
Like I said, I wiped /system before loading the new image. I did it on the phone using Clockworkmod recovery, then used fastboot from my computer to load the image. I did not wipe data or cache, because I figured the whole image-writing thing would be obliterating all my stuff anyway, but perhaps I was wrong?
I've been playing with the CPU usage overlay, available in the Developer Options. First off, I have no clue what the different colours mean or what scale those bars represent, but I can tell you my load is typically 2.0 (even just sitting there idle with the screen on), all the way up to 15 or so if I'm trying to do something like use Chrome while listening to Google Play Music. system_server is always the top process, and its bar is always 3-4 times bigger than the next, with the sole exception of loading up Google Play Music, in which case the mediaserver process holds the top spot with a fairly long bar. ksmd, com.android.systemui, surfaceflinger, and com.android.phone are always running, but only ksmd even has a bar long enough to be visible. Other processes pop in and out, and of course they start going willy-nilly when I actually start using apps and switching between them.
There have been a handful of times where an app will die while I'm in the middle of using it, and 2-3 times the phone has outright rebooted itself.
So there's my story. Can someone tell me if I'm just plain doing it wrong? Perhaps there's a guide on how to completely sterilize the phone before loading the stock image? Or perhaps my hardware is broken? :-/
I was with you there, trying to figure out why everyone thought it was so fast and I was being left in the dust. Google Now in particular was painful to interact with. I downloaded and installed Air Kernel, which seemed to help a little bit but then I switched the CPU governor from "ON DEMAND" to "SMARTASSV2" and it was like night and day. It's flying and I'm satisfied.
Cool... I'm looking into it, and can't find any directions whatsoever on what I should download or how to install it. I'll keep digging, though. Thanks!
While I am not sure what is causing your issue I can confirm that stock jb should not be performing like you are describing. Except for loading up Google now. That does take some time but even that once its loaded runs OK.
Did you clear your SD card? If not back that up to a computer and wipe it. That's all that I can think of and it may actually fix it.
At first I noticed painfully slow speeds as well. Changing my min setting to 200 helped so much! I've heard the the Interactive governor is amazing with JB in terms of speed. You could try that out.
Nexus S. (GSM i9020a)
Paranoid (1.97 - 4.1.1)
Matrix (CFS - 22.5)
Ondemmand (1000/200)
Deep Idle (On - Deadline)
I've just flashed Air Kernel (I just picked one of four options, I don't know what the heck "blue color" means), then set the governor to smartassv2, and so far it feels snappier. I'll have to keep using it to see if it's the solution I need. Thanks to all who've made suggestions so far!

If your phone is going crazy slow it could be a number of things like apps could be slowing down the phone in the background or the phone might be trying to sync. You could backup all of your apps and then wipe your phone fully it should speed it up quite a bit and then you can restore each app 1 by 1 to determine if its a rogue app causing it. But if you can't be arsed to do that and wipe then just try and flash Thalamus kernel and see what its like if you set the governor to interactive on that it should go crazy fast.

I can see there are many 'fixes' for slow running devices on Jelly Bean. However, I have no idea:
1. how install Air Kernel or where to get it from
2. How to change the CPU governor from "on-Demand" to "SMARTASSV2" or where to download this from
Please can someone give me the complete idiots guide to getting my Nexus S running properly again??
THANK YOU
There are a million guides on this forum for all of this. If you don't know how to flash a kernel or adjust CPU speeds, you need to familiarize yourself with these things and understand the risks. First off, try cleaning your phone up. Take all your important stuff off your external storage, and do a factory reset. My Nexus S never ever ran slow, even on stock.
Have you tried a more simple but fast kernel like marmite 4.2 from bedalus? Give it a try.
I've been running stock 4.1.2 (rooted) for a while now, and after really slow performance, steadily worsening battery life, and general annoyances like random reboots, Blue Screens, and other annoyances like duplicated incoming SMSs, I figure it's time to take the plunge and install a custom ROM and maybe even a fresh kernel.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to devote to experimenting with all the different ROMs out there for this phone, and was wondering if I were to list out what I usually use the phone for and what apps I run most of the time if it would be possible for people to recommend which one would be a good fit to try as my first.
(I know this'll mean missing out on all the fun of having so many choices, and when I have more time later, I'll see what I can do about exploring the other options.)
I make heavy use of SMS, although often times my messages are laggy to send and receive (I don't know if this is a problem with my phone or T-Mobile). Incoming messages sometimes get repeated multiple times for no apparent reason. My current SMS default is EvolveSMS, but I had similar issues with GOSMS.
I also play Ingress, so any bugginess in the GPS would be a deal breaker.
Voice calling is sometimes problematic as well. When I make outgoing calls, it sometimes take 30 seconds for the phone app to load., With incoming calls, I may get the ringtone, but no screen to accept or reject the call.
I run the xposed framework for a handful of modules (All Notifications Expanded, and Buttered Toast)
I'm using Nova Launcher for my homescreen, because of the ability to set a grid size, use custom icons, overlap icons on top of widgets, and lock the homescreen configuration from accidental changes. A ROM that would do the same things natively without having to run a homescreen replacer would be welcome.
I'm also interested in running on my external SD, Is that something I should set up prior to flashing the new ROM, or can that only be done after the ROM is installed?
Team Apex have done some great work. By now they know the hardware very well, having done the initial dev work back on CM9, all the way up to the current CM11 and now Omnirom systems. Their current efforts are focused on the Omnirom-based Omnitoad project. It's at a point where it works very well. I suggest starting there.
The stock roms and the earlier CM roms all have a bug where the compass reads totally wrong after a reboot until you recalibrate it. This was finally fixed in the CM11-based ROMs. That should help Ingress.

to be fully honest though...i do highly recommend flashing my B14CKB1RD kernel on whatever 4.4 kit kat rom you use if you want best stability and battery life...its been proven that at the end of the day your rom will have alot of batterly life remaining compared to stock....whats good about my kernel is that you control how you want the phone to work...where as with TeamApexQ stock kernels you are locked to that one state and also has an mpdec touchboost enabled that boosts your cpu core to 1134mhz minimum speed when you touch the screen thus rapidly draining your battery... I'm in no way saying the work they have done isnt great....theyve done a hell of a job bringing the device to the stability its at today... it just brings that much more stability outta any rom you use

mpdec and touchboost are two separate concepts. Touchboost boosts the second core to 1134 Mhz when you are using the display in order to make the phone more responsive. Mpdec turns off the second core when not in use and conserves a huge amount of battery. On OmniToad, with the standard kernel on it, I usually get 60 hours + per charge of medium use. I've been using OmniToad continuously, and since the beginning of it, I have not personally had any reboot that was not initiated by myself.
Um dude you do know your touchboost is mpdecision based right?....look at the defconfig...and to be honest my kernel works just as smooth if not smoother than the stock kernel of omni without it...using omni on stock kernel I wald have 40% battery come 11pm my time when unplugged at 7am...on my kernel I'll have anywhere between 65% and 70% with same usage and hours

One other thing about touchboost, which will hopefully bring us all out of ignorance of it as I am tired of the constant FUD about it. It is the 'touch responsiveness' portion of Google's "Project Butter" initiative. It is a standard Android/AOSP feature enjoyed by Nexus owners since Android 4.1.x.
One more thing. It is a UI deficiency that the performance settings apps show 1134Mhz as min cpu when using touchboost. In kernel mpdec will run the cpus at 384mhz unless something needs more, or the cores will sleep. Now you know the facts. Let's stop spreading misinformation. Thanks.
Not spreading misinformation...my builds and the community have even spoken of the better battery my kernel and ROMs have with it disabled and removed....even flashing my kernel over omni the phone instantly stopped overheating and lost maybe a percent in 2 hours with moderate use.... I just love how as soon as I came to the relay you guys judged me as a noob and all the name calling and what not....it's your teams loss...all my gain...good luck

In my opinion, I try all the roms available for relay right now, the better performance I have was with liquid ROM and blackbird kernel. Omni is smooth but the battery its not the best for my phone with my personal use, and with GPS and plugged to the car charger i got overheating. Carbon got better battery than omni and better customization options but not smoother. Liquid have all you need in a ROM, personalization, full control and with the kernel blackbird and Wheatley and sio configuration have the better performance and battery at all ROM I try

So, I tried OmniToad for a bit. Wasn't really impressed with the compass fix mentioned above, because even after flashing it was still quite ill-behaved in Ingress.
I also couldn't get the External 2 Internal SD Card swap to work -- the storage tab kept reporting my internal as 5 gig and the external as 64gig. This was after trying two different microSDs.
So, because of those two issues, and being not too far along in re installing everything, I decided to flash again, with the Blackbird Kernel and Liquid Smooth.
Now, when I try to boot. it hangs on the screen with the ApexQ green penguin. If I try for recovery mode I'll get the blue text that says booting into recovery, and then it goes to the penguin again. Trying to boot to download mode also just gives me the penguin.
Troubleshooting suggestions? Because right now, I'm without any clue as to what to do next, and without a phone for that matter.
[Edit: Just got into recovery, so going to try flashing back to OmniToad]
[Edit 2, Electric Boogaloo: Back on the Toad for now, Seems to be working. Thoughts on how to get things running on my external SD? Is it maybe an issue with KitKat based roms?]
I'll guide you through it...my roms shouldn't show anything teamapexq related ...what recovery were you using...and have you tried heimdall or ODIN

Recovery is TeamWin, and I was finally able to get back into it. Put OmniToad back on it for the time being. If you wanted to put up a step by step for going from Omni to Liquid, I can give it a try, because at this point, I'm pretty sure it was a "ID Ten T "error.

Did u just say 60+ hours of use??
How?? What do u mean by medium use?? Are you using the stock battery??
That's only possible with screen off with no use in that 60 hours and the phone going into deepsleep...either that or he's using an extended battery....with very minimal use....also proof or it didn't happen

I ended up partitioning my external SD card so I could use Mounts2SD. Seems to be working so far.
Now I just have to get all my stuff put back on this thing and figure out how the extra features of LiquidSmooth are going to fit into my workflows.
One thing that seems to be a minor annoyance, probably because I just haven't found the toggle for it yet: on stock, I used to be able to wake the phone from the home button and the screen would pop on instantly. Under both custom ROMs I've tried, it seems a lot harder to wake the phone. The power button seems to be the only thing that works, and I have to stab at it repeatedly. I almost suspect that I'm waking it up and puttting it back to sleep before the screen comes on, but I can't seem to find anything that consistently works. Like I said, it's probably something I just need to toggle under settings.
The home button's actual switch is in the center of the button, while the design allows the button to tip sideways. So if you press it on a corner instead of the middle, the phone sometimes won't recognize it.

I may have spoken too soon. Getting all sorts of apps stopping on me now. Launcher3, Hangouts, Ingress, Settings...
Also, Launcher3 seems to 'forget' homescreen layouts every so often... some times I'll be going back to blank homescreens, and then after poking around in other apps, the homescreen will be back to the original configuration.
Ingress also acts like it can't see Location Services most of the time.
Also, sometimes when I reboot, it takes up to 20 minutes before the phone's back up and running.
While I can't discount that it was any of the number of apps I've put back on the thing, I'm pretty sure that Mounts2SD is the smoking gun here. these problems didn't start until after I had started using it. The symptoms seem about right.
I'm wondering if there's a conflict between Mounts2SD and the governor/scheduler I'm running (Wheatley/SIO).
I'd rather not have to troubleshoot this, but one of my main goals with starting fresh on this was to be able to store and run apps on my External SD, preferably without having to fuss with it on a per-folder basis. So if anyone has had any success in that department, I'd love to hear some tips that point me in the right direction.
[Edit: Turns out Mounts2SD overrides the governor/scheduler choices anyway. I think, that when I get off work I'm going to start fresh again over my next few days off, and try using Link2SD instead.]

well i use nova launcher.....launcher 3 and google launcher in my opinion isnt the best of launchers...there is other options i mentioned in a pm before to storing apps on sd and is alot easier than fiddling looking for the right app ....what also gives you the assumption it messes with governer or scheduler....i know by default there is settings for sd read ahead write ahead scheduling but that app shouldnt have control in changing any of this

This post from another user in the Mounts2SD thread. They might be mistaken, but either way, my problems started cropping up after I installed that app, and if there's a chance that poster is right about it setting those things, that's just another reason for me to uninstall it.
right now Carbon wins
I've tried them all, Liquid smooth is awesome but the latest built gave me some blackscreen issues until the next built go with carbon if you want some nice features or slim for a nice overall rom.
Don't forget to install the Blackbird kernel for a even better result.
Peace!
hello,
I'm having a problem with my G925F
it randomly freezes (sometimes) on any screen, mostly while playing games, until i force reboot it (vol down+power for 7sec)
ROM: the global elite 4.1
Kernel: ROM stock.
any help would be appreciated, i tried different kernels but still problem, is it a ROM problem or hardware?
UPDATE: I tried different Roms too, same problem..
when im with headphones and it freezes, it starts a loud sharp noise that'll rape your ear (that's how it really feels)
and some glitchy lines appear on the screen..
it stays frozen for like 5 or 6secs then it reboots itself with a white solid LED light...
pleas guys what's this problem???

Those glitchy lines are signs of hardware problems. Try flashing stock rom, if the problem persists, you'll know it's the hardware.

It happened again, this time the device wasn't hot, no apps on background, no gaming, nothing. i was just on home screen swiping looking for an app, it suddenly froze. with those glitchy lines, rebooted itself with white solid LED light. i didn't use it for like 10min.. i came back again, unlocked it, swiped up for apps menu.. BOOM, froze again with those glitchy lines. this time it didn't reboot, it blacked out after 5sec.. i tried different button combinations to turn it on again, no luck. i plugged in the charger and waited for 2min, nothing. then i got into download mode [warning screen] (while plugged). i pressed the vol- button to restart, it booted up normally. now I can't really use it cause i don't want it to get worst. btw, sometimes when it freezes & reboot itslef, All settings are reset to default.
Any suggestions on what to do?

I doubt it's the battery, but you'll never know unless you try. Glitchy lines or artifacts are usually the sign of a failing gpu.

okay.. but why it sometimes happens while doing nothing... and sometimes it doesn't freeze at all even while gaming for hours...
one more thing, when i shake thr phone near my ear, i hear something like (tick tick tick...). i taught that maybe that's it. but i asked my friend who has an s6e too (G925T) he said that he has that sound too when he shakes it, but doesn't encounter any problems with his phine... soo??
What I most associate with that sound, and the phone freezing... is CPU hotplugging. Are there any apps that affect these? /sys/class/devices/system/cpu/cpu./online
sys/class/devices/system/cpu/ whichever one isn't cpu 0-7 or cpuidle.

Which apps... maybe something related to "editing kernel settings", viewing CPU info (root), etc.
CPU hotplugging is the stopping (and returning when needed) of CPU cores (big cluster, etc), to save power, etc. When it fails, it does... that (maybe not the artifacts?).
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-7]/online.
others related to CPU hotplugging...
/sys/devices/system/cpu/... ?
/sys/power/... ?
GPU hotplugging is /sys/devices/14ac0000.mali/power_policy (/sys/class/misc/mali0/device/power_policy). Writing "always_on" disables it, "coarse_demand" enables it, "demand" enables it. I haven't had any problems with this, only temperature reading.

i don't have any apps of this kind, i used to have Kernel Auditor & Synapse in the past Roms cuz i was using custom kernels.. but now, im on stock kernel.
how can clear all kernel settings and start fresh?
however, it didn't reboot today. i was expecting it every time i use it. but no freezes or reboots.

Kernel 'settings' are reset to the default (defaults may change after flashing a kernel) on reboot, unless there's a script (init.d, etc) that changes the settings on boot, or later. If it happens again, maybe the error messages are in /proc/last_kmsg.

okay.. i flashed Aldeon this afternoon.
after booting, i installed Synapse. after opening it and granting superuser access.. it showed me the screen saying that kernel settings are reset ti default cuz system wasn't stable for 2mins after booting... this usually appear after it really happens...
its weird that it appeared after flashing the kernel directly...
no reboots or freezes so far, since yesterday.

Hello @zinou111 how has your phone behaved after what you did? I am currently having the same issues you had and I'm looking for a solution.
Yours is the only hope after a couple hours of searching.
really? same symptoms as mine?
well... i didn't do anything at all... I turned it off and threw it for like 4 days... and last few days, i was bored, so i got it back and turned it on.. i faced this problem only 4 times within this week... i didn't do anything..
it used to be +10 times a day... now its just gone i think & i hope... it didn't freeze last 3 days & it works flawlessly!
i hope this can help you
Solution! And Cause!
I am not pretty sure uf it is a software or a hardware damage! But It can be :
1. After years of using your phone the battery power decreases and the voltage needed for cpus to work is not given anymore..
2. A permission file!
FIX for 1.:
- Install custom kernel(pos45) where you can change voltage
- Install Synapse or MTweaks
- Upvolt all values under 1000mHz to 800mAh in both big and small cores
- And youre done!
FIX for 2.:
- Install rom Ultimate Nougat S8+ Port v3.1
- This rom contains a fix for this issue!(I tested it it works!)
I recommend: Try FIX for 2. FIRST its more secure and dont blame me if you destroy your device!

thanks bro! but i don't think its a software problem, cuz i had it completely fresh & new last week, i mean the guy flashed it using those things called BOXs.. like.. i'm even getting OTA updates lol... still same problem..
but i left it like i said turned off for about 3 days & i can tell that it got better.... probably the CPU is failing i guess
i'll try the 1st solution when i face the problem again
Yes I can safely say...

Ok but I can tell you that for me both ways 1 and 2 worked! (S6 Flat by the way)
I installed the rom(Way2) and no crashes anymore without changing the voltages... On stock rom(odin clean installed) I still had random reboots and freezes!:victory:
But when you flash a custom kernel and changes voltages (Way1) also on stock no more random reboots!
So both ways worked try it out!

Hello
I dont understand this : Upvolt all values under 1000mHz to 800mAh in both big and small cores
Maybe have you a screenshot ????
thx
