stop "Set CPU" from booting at 1.7ghz interactive

Motorola Xoom Wifi Only, 1.4.4 3.1
I just popped Set CPU back on my xoom after putting on 1.4.4 and set it to "interactive"
I cranked the max up to 1.7ghz and checked set on boot.
It restarted and now, it boots and then crashes every time I get to the pattern unlock screen and then reboots.
I cant seem to stop this reboot cycle. Is there any way to stop it from crashing repeatedly?
My Sunday morning is a mess indeed!

OK...first rule. NEVER select Set On Boot for JUST THIS REASON. It just isn't worth it, unless you have a set up that you are absolutely certain is totally stable and the extra 15 seconds at boot up to overclock it again is just too much of a bother for you to bear.
I know there are some scripts that can be run from Recovery to clear overclocking, but I don't have the technical bones to direct you to them, or even the knowledge if they would work on the Xoom.
Personally I would try installing a lower frequency Tiamat kernel or the stock kernel and then rebooting. When SetCPU cannot achieve the frequency you have it set for now, it will either FC, just overclock the device to the kernel maximum, or bootloop you. Therefore, I doubt it would hurt and may solve your problem pretty easily.

yep, just flash a different kernel.

just flash tiamat 1.4.3
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

thanks guys! really glad you lot are here to support

Yeah, for anyone else reading this... I had the exact same problem with the never ending boot loop.
I just flashed tiamat 1.4.3 through cwm. It then booted correctly, so I reflashed 1.4.4 but this time I got rid of SetCPU in favour of 'No Frills'. It doesn't have the profiles I was used to with SetCPU, but it does seem to do a much better job with the xoom.
It's still a bit unstable at 1.7, but runs beautifully at 1.6.
Good times!

Wish I had seen this 15 minutes ago
I had the same issues and did a factory reset. Oh well I guess that is what backups are for

I did the following on my MyTouch 4G, but it should work for the Xoom if you have ClockworkMod Recovery and Android SDK on your PC.
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. adb pull /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking/shared_prefs/setcpu.xml D:\setcpu.xml
3. I opened D:\setcpu.xml and set the following:
- startBoot setting from "1" to "0".
- max setting to equal min.
4. adb push D:\setcpu.xml /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking/shared_prefs/setcpu.xml
5. Unmount data and reboot.

System Tuner

Hi all,
I've got a problem with System Tuner. On every ICS ROM I try the CPU clock and voltage settings won't stick. After I reboot the phone they go back to their defaults. Hence, I've got 3 questions:
1. Does everyone have these problems? Did I not check a setting or something?
2. What alternatives to System Tuner don't turn the second CPU core permanetly on?
And 3. Is there an init.d script which lets you set the clock speeds/voltage settings? Because I would rather not use an app at all to do that.

Set your CPU clock and voltages, then press Boot settings on the cpu tab( small button ), press Re-apply CPU Settings -> On boot completed.

Yes I did that, but the minimum frequency doesn't stick.

Nobody?
I'm using No-frills atm, but does that turn CPU1 permanently on?

My setup is similar to yours except I'm on ARHD 6.5.3.
I can confirm it is changing back to 192Mhz min. Could be kernel related as I'm on bricked 3.0 v5 too. Maybe we should ask showp-1984 or it cold be related to System Tuner.
Did you have tried another software like setCPU?

Could you be more detailed Do you mean " Re-Apply CPU settings" if so yes I had it enabled. I will reflash stock o any other kernel and check if it's going to solve this.

I also have this problem with system tuner pro, now i'm using setcpu and the settings stick.
using vipers 1.1.0, tried anthrax/bricked/faux123 all didn't stick.

You know you.could ask the dev of super tuner. He's always very responsive anytime I've had issues. Also having different versions backed up in Ti helps as well cause a new update fixes one thing from a slew of phones but might just break yours. Having a backup versions means you can go back restore and test.

In relation to your second question, what kernel are you using? Faux's kernel has the second core on by default. System tuner doesn't have the ability to turn it off. If you want it offline until it's needed, try seb's or bricked kernels instead.

System Tuner 3.0
Just to let you know System Tuner 3.0 was released some time ago and provides improved CPU handling, new GPU, Gamma, MP, thermal controls on many custom kernels and a lot of other new or improved features (entropy, fstrim to name a few).
This is now a spawn of Android Tuner, and benefits from a larger user-base, improved stability and performance.
It now has the ability to turn on/off CPU cores, with a dedicated screen-off option. Only if custom kernel allows it though.

CPU settings wont stick

I appreciate the guys here helping me install beastmode on my machine with viper xl but whenever I try to change the cpu settings they don't stick, and my battery is draining faster than it should. I flashed beastmode at 1.8ghz but I wont to be able to underclock back to 1512ghz when I'm not benchmarking or playing a game. I've tried venom tweaks cpu editor and setcpu and neither one are able to set the cpu permantly. Reverts back after about 2sec's or so. Anyone know whats causing this and how to fix it?

try no-frills

Ok i installed no-frills cpu, set the cpu to 1512, modified the thermald.config in system etc, changed permissions accordingly, restarted the phone and now I'm in a bootloop. I know I can do a nandroid but is there any other way to end the bootloop? Oh and I set no-frills to set cpu at startup.
I managed to get no-frills unistalled before it restarted again. No more bootlooping. One lesson I learned is never set a cpu to run at startup.

More invalid configurations bro. Something the POST doesn't like and keeps you from booting to prevent damage to your phone
You probably did something in thermald.conf that your phone doesn't like

I can't seem to overclock my TF300T! it will later reset back to 1.3ghz!

Hi,
I have tried different rom + kernel:
cleanrom
ultra fast rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901784
untermensch kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892326
and still can't oc the cpu to something higher than 1.3ghz
I used the No-frills CPU as well as the antutu cpu master (free version)
for the No-frills cpu, whenever I set the CPU speed to something high (ie. 1.6ghz max and 102mhz min), checked apply on root then apply, it worked fine for a while, but later on when I open no-frills cpu, th e current max and min will reset back to 1.3ghz and 102mhz.
Governor and I/O scheduler is fine though.

Sounds to me like u need to check start on boot..i havent oveclocked mine yet but option should be there where u select governors and such...

Of course i have checked that it just didnt work

Give Voltage Control a try. It gives you the options to apply on boot or init.d. I use the init.d setting because the phone boots quicker. I had that problem with CPU Master in the past while running it on my phone.

Will do, however i dont think it's the reboot problem. The problem was, when i set the cpu speed to 1.5 or 1.6 its works fine for an hour or so ( i closed the cpu app, reopen it and the curent seed got set) but then an hour or so, it got resetted back to 1.3 without rebooting the device

Hi!
No, this happens to everyone
However, it seems a pretty good thing - why we need OC - if the device sleep ? :laugh:
- it is also good for battery - !

So i will have to reoverclock it everytime ??

Mine doesn't do this at all. I use CleanROM 3.1, unters kernel and setcpu. No issues.

I guess I know why it's because setcpu has the profile settings allows u to set the CPU speed when screen is on / when screen is unlocked
Othe CPU apps I have tried have no such feature which means oc works when u set it, but when u turn off the screen then turn it on , it will reset back to 1.3ghz

Using setcpu, what I did was set a "screen off" profile to max out at 1700ghz when the screen is off or in sleep mode and it worked for me!!! That way will not default back to stock 1300ghz everytime I hit screen off or sleep mode.

[Guide] Post-Root Common Issues, Bugs, and Fixes

This guide is meant to help those who have rooted their phones and are now finding it slow, laggy, messy, etc.
I've been seeing a lot of posts repeating common problems that have been fixed by other members of the forums, so I'll compile a list of the most common bugs and fixes for them (the ones that can be fixed) in this guide so people can refer to it instead of swamping dev threads with the same questions over and over again. The quicker we can get through the common problems, the quicker we can get to fixing the ones we don't have solutions to so far.
Disclaimer: After installing the ENG bootloader, you are going to experience less battery life. There are things we can do to improve this, but nothing I have discovered so far will get you back to stock battery life... except re-installing stock ROM. Also standard disclaimer that all of the fixes here are done at your own risk. I am not responsible for any of these fixes breaking your phone.
Bug #1: Phone is laggy after rooting the phone/Battery is down the tank.
Fix: The phone is (partially) lagging because the ENG bootloader automatically sets the CPU governor to "Performance." While this is supposed to lock the CPU frequency at the maximum values, it does cause a lot of heat and possibly throttling. Additionally, the max core clocks are set to 1.593Ghz instead of their actual maximums. Not every CPU Tuner will allow you to set the big cores separately, so look around for one that does if you don't want to use Kernel Toolkit.
First, use Flashfire to flash one of two zips provided by psouza4 on our sister Verizon Galaxy S7 (Edge) threads.
1. Kernel fixes & tweaks V15
2. Kernel fixes, tweaks, & Debloater
You need only flash one of these two zips. One additionally debloats the system, one does not. Choose whichever suits your needs.
What the zips do:
Adds a rotate button to the native gallery app.
Adds a shortcut call button in the call log next to each logged call.
Adjusts several CPU tunables, which fixes phone lag and battery life issues.
Disables "No SIM" popup when no SIM card is present.
Disables roaming data by default.
Disables secure storage support, which fixes Wi-Fi passwords not saving issue.
Disables Verizon provisioning for Wi-Fi tethering/hotspot (will still use your data plan, of course).
Enables ADB to run as root by default.
Enables CPU idling/sleeping, which fixes phone heat issues.
Enables mock GPS locations.
Enables native call recording feature in the dialer.
Enables native Wi-Fi calling feature in the dialer.
Enables RIL power saving features.
Enables scheduled messages in the native messaging app.
Enables the camera during calls.
Enables unlimited contact merging.
Enables using the new 3GPP2 Profile ID (Verizon exclusive).
Fixes various 'searching for service' and other cellular network connectivity issues (SMS/MMS not working, calls not working, etc.)
Knox apps, drivers, and data are removed (fix+debloat version).
Prefers LTE network.
Raises the contact name length limit to 1,280 characters.
Raises the maximum SMS recipient limit from 10 to 90.
Remove nagging 'unauthorized actions' security notification (fix+debloat version).
Removes VoLTE icon.
Removes bloatware and/or apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store and don't need to live in /system (fix+debloat version):
Next, install a CPU Tuner utility like Kernel Toolkit, then change the governor from "Performance" to "Interactive." Also change the max CPU frequency of the little cores to 1.593Ghz and the big cores to 2.150Ghz while you're at it. Leave the cores at their default minimum frequency. This will go a long way to improving the speed of the phone. Also make sure you that have the new settings to apply on boot. Every kernel manager should have this option somewhere.
Note: Although the max frequency in the settings screen will drop to some number, as long as you can see the CPU ramp up to the new settings in the information screen, then everything is fine. You can test the max frequency by turning the screen off and then back on.
Then, install sEFix and set entropy to "Ultra."
Lastly, install L Speed and:
Code:
-Main Tweaks: Turn on
-Battery Improvement
-OOM Killer
-Kernel Tweaks - "Light"
-CPU Tuner: Turn on
-CPU Optimizer
-LNET Optimizer: Turn on
-Google DNS
-Faster Streaming
-Faster Dormancy
-IO Tweaks: Turn on
-IO Boost
-Partition Remount
-RAM Manager
-Balanced
-Seeder
-Moderate
Their individual effects can be read up on here.
Bug #2: Weird "hurricane" icon in the corner.
Fix: This is related to the imsservice.apk which controls the RCS icon and the VoLTE icon being displayed. Someone has a modified version of the Note 5 imsservice.apk with these removed. You can find the apk HERE in the OP's attachment. HOWEVER, you will push this to a different location than the location mentioned in the guide there. You have two choices, you can either push the apk via ADB from you computer or you can copy the file using a root file manager.
ADB Method (Assumes you know what you're doing. Don't copy the code verbatim if you don't know what the command is doing):
Code:
adb remount
adb push imsservice.apk /system/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk
adb reboot
Root File Manager Method:
Transfer the imsservice.apk to your phone. Anywhere where you'll remember the location is fine. Open the file manager with root compatibility and copy the file to /system/priv-app/imsservice/ and overwrite the imsservice.apk already in the folder.
Set permissions of the file to 0644 or rw-r--r-- depending on your file manager. You can set permissions using most file managers.
Restart the phone.
I've included the stock PD8 imsservice.apk as an attachment below if anyone has issues with the modified one from the guide.
Bug #3: Notification warning that system has been modified.
Fix #1: Disable com.samsung.android.securitylogagent & com.tmobile.pr.adapt using your favorite package disabler. This will hide all notifications associated with this app as well as the root check that you might have encountered.
Fix #2: This fix requires Xposed. You can follow the instructions to install Xposed HERE.
Then install the Xposed module NotifyClean, activate the module, and reboot the phone. You will then use this app to block the notification under the package com.samsung.android.securitylogagent by clicking on the package so that it is highlighted red. The notification should disappear!
Note: This app can also be used to hide the icon for WiFi Calling if it's annoying you. You can still use the WiFi calling function while hiding the notification.
Bug #4: I keep losing root.
Fix #1: Secure boot/startup has caused the loss of root. So make sure you DO NOT SETUP the secure boot option when you're first setting up the phone or any time afterwards. This is the same option that forces users to type in/swipe in their password on a screen with a black background. This is not the normal type/swipe your password on your lockscreen after a boot.
Fix #2: Disable Security policy updates. I've also heard that people who leave this option on lose their root after a couple of reboots. You can find this setting under:
Settings > Lock screen and security > Other security settings > Security policy updates > Automatic updates (Turn this setting off).
Fix #3: Disable auto-updates for apps in Google Play Store. It's possible that SuperSU auto-updated, breaking root.
Fix #4: Disable automatic updates for the phone. I don't think these run anyways on modified software, but it can't hurt. You can disable the applications responsible for automatic updates using Titanium Backup, EZ Disabler, or any other package disabler you know of. The packages to disable are:
com.sec.android.soagent
com.wssyncmldm
com.samsung.firmware.nfc
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
Bug #5napchat: Unable to log into Snapchat.
Fix #1: This happens if you attempt to login to Snapchat after installing Xposed. Just make sure you login to Snapchat prior to installing Xposed. Done.
Fix #2: If you've already installed Xposed, you can:
-Do a clean install through ODIN, and re-root your phone, install and log into Snapchat, then install Xposed.
-Uninstall Xposed by flashing THIS through Flashfire, uninstalling the Xposed framework app, and clearing the data on your Snapchat app. Then login to Snapchat and re-install Xposed.
Bug #6: WiFi passwords aren't being saved
Fix: Use a root file manager like Solid Explorer and go to /system and open/edit build.prop. Scroll down or use the "find" function to search for ro.securestorage=true and change it from true to false (ro.securestorage=false). Save the file. Done!
If you guys have any more bugs that you run into, please feel free to post them here. Anyone who knows of any additional fixes to these bugs or solutions to any bugs that others post, also feel free to add them in the comments and I will compile them into this guide when I get a chance.

Not every CPU Tuner utility will let you set the individual big.LITTLE cores separately. Try using the one recommended or look for another one that does allow it. Kernel Toolkit is the only one that I remember off the top of my head. I'll also make an edit in the post to avoid further confusion.

hey all, does anyone have or has experienced your incoming calls not being recieved? i have called myself and others also and it either rings until voicemail or it just goes straight to voicemail,
any ideas whats causing this?
thanks,

Great post! Unfortunately I'm having problems with smart view after rooting. Every time I try to screen mirror it works but it is extremely laggy making it unusable. This has only been an issue since root and I've tried mirroring to three different devices and it's the same with all of them. I followed the instructions in this thread to see if these tweaks would help but they didn't change my screen mirroring issue at all. Is anyone else out there experiencing this?

little help please.
Followed the guide for bugs 1 & 2 exactly as mentioned. Used the root manager method for bug #2. Now i keep getting this pop-up that the phone is not responding...Any solutions to get rid of this?

Looks like I forgot to mention changing permissions on the file after you copy it over. From there, the easiest way to restore it would probably be to adb push the file over since you don't need to reset permissions if you push through adb. This should correct the crashing and allow you to use your phone.

Leave the min frequency of the cores at the minimum otherwise your cores will always be at max frequency which is something you definitely don't want.

If you look at the information menu, do you see the cores ramp up to the 2.150 Ghz we set? If it does, then the settings have been saved despite it not reflecting on the settings screen. You can force it to ramp up to max but turning the screen off and then turning it back on.

This is the expected behavior. This just means that they will clock up to the max when there is a high load, but then drop back down to the lowest frequency to save battery when there is nothing to be done. Everything is working as it should.

Mines was hot just with normal usage. I used every tip and fix that people suggested but it was still pretty slow and lagged if I had a game running and a couple of more apps running. Battery was OK though.
