[fix] - [tw firmware bug] - all cores stuck online - Galaxy Note 3 General

Hey guys!
These days I've started monitoring my cores on N9005 kitkat firmware (everything stock) and I've found that sometimes cores get stuck online and only a reboot fixes the issue.
EDIT !!! : PROBLEM SOLVED
*THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY TOUCHWIZZ DVFS(DYNAMIC VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY SCALING) SO THANK YOU SAMMY FOR THAT !
*THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE IT IF YOU ARE NOT ROOTED IS TO REBOOT WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOUR CORES DON'T WANNA GO OFFLINE(CHECK THEM WITH PERMOM OR SYSTEM MONITOR...ETC.)
*ANOTHER WAY IS TO ROOT AND WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS YOU CAN FIX IT BY RESETING MP-DECISION OR THE PERMANENT WAY IS TO INSTALL XPOSED FRAMEWORK AND THEN DOWNLOAD(DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE THE MODULE IN XPOSED AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD) FROM PLAYSTORE "SAMSUNG DVFS DISABLER" BY WANAM(JUST SEARCH IN PLAYSTORE THE WORD "DVFS" AND YOU WILL SEE IT - !
*OFC THAT AOSP OR CM BASED ROMS DON'T HAVE THE ISSUE !!!
BIG THANKS TO ALL THE GREAT GUYS ON LEAN KERNEL THREAD FOR CONTRIBUTING TO SOLVING THIS ISSUE

I've rooted and when the issue happens, disabling mp decision and enabling it again fixes the issue so this means that hotplug doesn't play well. Maybe a custom kernel will fix this issue.

I experience the exact same issue, but on completely stock 4.4.2 rom. I posted a thread about it a while back but no one answered it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646389
I'm positive this is the reason for people's battery drain on stock roms.. Does the stock rom implement some form of hotplug functionality? It must be bugged somehow.
It still happens, and it has not fixed itself. The only way to fix it for me that I know if is a reboot..

Thanks, I figured it would be something along those lines.
However I'm fully stock with no plans to root because of the Knox-debacle.. So I guess I will have to stick to rebooting until Samsung fixes the issue

I don't think they will fix it because some users said that they have this issue since 4.3 and kitkat didn't fix it

Unfortunately this is also something I'm afraid will never get fixed. I noticed similar battery drain on 4.3 but never narrowed it down to cores bugging out until kitkat. Maybe I'll root anyway..

On stock nc2 deodexed with dvfs disabled via wanam, my powersaving mode no longer brings the frequency down. Only if i disable the module and reboot.

You are right ! Thanks for the suggestion :highfive:

Dont work for me. I disabled DVFS yesterday in newest version of wanam xposed, rebooted and checked settings in wanam again. DVFS was unchecked, so I think it is/was disabled. But today´s morning, i had 2 core stuck online again, almost the same as the few issues before unchecking DVFS. So I think, it doesnt work for me. Note 3 SM-N9005...

I been trying to off dvfs. What I can see. It will always run high frequency. Phone get warm and using phone while charging took longer than usual.
Because I run games and always on screen plus charging. So turning off dvfs not a good idea.
Sent from my SM-N9005

I've been testing different firmwares with DVFS off since I started this thread and not once I have seen again 4 or 2 cores stuck online and battery is better than ever so for me this was definitely the cause of random 4 cores stuck online. Good luck !

I'll be trying this for a while. But yeah I did notice that power-saving CPU limiting option does not work if DVFS is off. Mine reaches maximum frequency

Strangely, the Wanam Xposed module never did its job for DVFS, though the standalone module does work, and both are from Wanam.
Do not settle for Wanam Xposed, it is a useful utility but not all features seem to work in Note 3. I.E, Volume UP while on Deep Sleep wont trigger the flashlight, even though you activated the feature, yet the standalone module just for that (again, from Wanam) works perfectly.

Yes. I too am using the standalone DVSF mofule from playstore but I remember testing wannam xposed on NB2 firmware and worked fine. I am glad that we found a way to fix this Sammy bug but I am disappointed that they didn't and I don't think they will ever do so this is probably my last Sammy device.

[MOD] NFC Screen Locked/Screen Off Versions Updated on 8th Oct

Hi Folks
This is a mod NFC service that runs at boot. It allows you to scan NFC tags either with the screen totally off, or with the screen on but still at the lockscreen. By default nfc will not work unless the screen is on and unlocked. download one of the zips below, and flash it via recovery (tested with Omega Rom). To restore to stock, just pick the stock version.
Also build JUBMG3 and onwards has a further feature which allows NFC payments to work on deodex roms. credits to romracer, for the original mod to disable the signature checking
any feedback appreciated.
Remember to backup before flashing. for that just it case situation.
Enjoy Optimal
p.s. remember people that leaving the NFC on all the time can leave you phone open to security breaches. so please be careful when using this mod.

Hi Folks
Just got my S4 i9505 today I'm so happy, anyway I thought I would create a NFC Lockscreen mod for the S4. What this does is allows you to use nfc when the screen is on and in a locked status. As by default the phone has to be unlocked.

Thanks for this, I was looking for something like this.
If I understand correct this the Lockscreen mod still needs to have the "locked" screen on in order for NFC to work.
If so is there a change you can also make the "screen off" (NFC working with locked screen off) mod for the XXUAME2 version :fingers-crossed:
It would be great to have it for i9500 too.
I was using this mod on i9300 and found it very usefull :good:
+1 Can you make NFC works with screen off? I had this feature in my s3 and it was very good reason to use NFC stickers
Ok will take a look this week. I always found the screen of version did not work after a while. Thats why I never used it. But if there is a need I will try to port it accross.

I have been running the "screen off" mod now for about 2 hours and it's working great, I can now read the NFC tag with my my locked screen off :good:
Haven't noticed anything with regards to my phone getting any warmer than before, also battery usage doesn't seem to have increased.
Thanks for adding this mod, I can now start using NFC lite I want to be.
EDIT: using this mod in combination with "NFC ReTAG" and Tasker.

Thanks for the great feedback. I have also been running the screenoff mod aswell. I can confirm the phone does not run hot. Must have been my hot hands. And so far 22 hours and still working great. Much more reliable than the sgs3 mod. Could have been my phone.
This is now going to be my default. As I always wanted this mod to work when the screen was off.
Happy days

Hi,
Do we need a custom recovery to flash this? I have a stock ME2 rom, rooted with CF-auto-root, I have flashed the lockscreen mod from the stock recovery but I've received a message "signature verification failed" and NFC doesn't work with lock screen... Still works when unlocked though.

You need a custom recovery to flash zips, you can try to extract the NfcNci.apk from the zip and copy it to \system\app set the correct permissions and reboot.
If you're routed it should work.

Glad its all working well. When samsung release a new updated rom, I will create an updated nfc mod and I will post on this thread.
As I said before the screenoff version has been solid for 4 days and very little battery drain. Which has shocked me.

best rom i've ever tested ... the battery life ... the speed no lag at all ... the theme
but one thing is missing "i can only use 3G no choice for 4G LTE"
How can i turn LTE on?
- Dial "*#*#4636#*#*"
- Phone Information
- change [LTE/GSM] to [LTE/GSM/WCDMA]

I can't select another lockscreen types, I always get FC in settings.
A little slow, especially lockscreen. The UI is lagging and unresponsive at times. I tried interactive governor and it is a bit better.
Phone (dialer) hanged on me a few times when opening.
The phone never sleeps - Google Services is the cause, in my experience it's a bug with wifi scanning but I never investigated further (disabling location reporting and background wifi scan usually helps).
I only tried with alucard kernel from the start? Do we need to flash alucard or is it working with some stock one?

Viper4Android TW Lollipop Tutorial [UPDATED]

First off, you do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone etc etc. Also, thanks to it's ties with Sound Alive, it won't work with the stock music player unfortunately but I have tested it with both Spotify and GoneMad and it works perfectly with both.
I'm using this on AryaMod 3.1, so this should mean the instructions below work on any N9005ZSUGOA5 based Lollipop rom.
1) Download and install DarkQueen Kernel here. Thank @hiepgia.
2) Add the line "setenforce 0" (without the quotes) to the end of the file /sýstem/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh. This will ensure a permissive state on boot. Thanks to @hiepgia and @filchi756 for this.
3) Download and install the new Viper4Android 2.3.4.0 here. Run, install the driver.
4) Find and freeze/delete Sound Alive. This being present is bad in particular for Spotify, which will always use Sound Alive in preference to Viper4Android.
Reboot enjoy Viper goodness.
For people who want to use the stock player, see @filchi756 post here
For people running AyraMod V4.0, ignore the above instructions, select DarkQueen kernel via Aroma on install (this will automatically result in permissive SE) and please see @filchi756's modified zip here. Don't forget to thank him.
Awesome
Finally!
Oh I am seeking for that. :good::good::good:

We have the same situation. .I think we have to wait for google to release the lollipop sources for note3 and wait for someone to make a custom kernel intended for our phone.
OP updated.
You eventually did it. Well done!
Nice one! Could anybody make it work with the stock Samsung Music Player using this tutorial? It seems this app is deeply integrated with SoundAlive, so at least with KK it was impossible to make it work reliably with V4A. But things may have changed with LL...
Yeah, unfortunately it appears to be the same here. I froze Sound Alive to get Viper working with Spotify, but this results in no effects whatsoever with the stock music player. Personally, this doesn't bother me as there are far better players on the market.

What baseband are you on? You have the same phone model as myself and my wifi works fine. I suspect it might be related to your modem/NON-HLOS.
Overall everything works fine except few bugs from the Darkqueen kernel, like brightness changes sometimes when I lock/unlock the phone.

If you're correct and there is no kernel which is either permissive or can be made permissive then Viper is currently unusable on the Exynos variant of the S4. It's currently impossible to use Viper on an enforcing TW ROM.

Viper4Android working on Note 5

For those of you that don't know Viper4Android is the probably the best sound mod you can do on any android phone, I can confirm that it works on the Note 5 as my listening experience in the car has greatly improved
Prerequisites
-Must be rooted
-Skyhigh or arter97 kernel flashed
-If no custom kernel is flashed selinux must be set to permissive using the selinux app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
-Download Viper4Android from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Steps
1. Download and install this zip through recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...achment.php?attachmentid=3470840&d=1442036930 (Credits to Critical Detox for finding it)
2. Launch Viper4Android and install the driver and reboot
2a. I highly recommend using this IRS. http://d-h.st/VBM
That should be it to get it working, S6 users have commented that you have to freeze a couple of apps for it to work but I can confirm that's not the case. If you have any questions or need suggestions feel free to ask

-Must be rooted
-Skyhigh or arter97 kernel flashed
-If no custom kernel is flashed selinux must be set to permissive using the selinux app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
-Download Viper4Android from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Steps
1. Once downloaded don't flash in recovery(FC'ed on me), unzip the file and there should be two apks. Only install the one with the higher file size(Should be 5mb)
2. Launch Viper4Android and install the driver and reboot
2a. I highly recommend using this IRS. http://d-h.st/VBM
That should be it to get it working, S6 users have commented that you have to freeze a couple of apps for it to work but I can confirm that's not the case. If you have any questions or need suggestions feel free to ask

The viper I installed is the 2.3.4.0 that's the right one right?

Interesting. Are you running in compatible mode, then?
I envy all of you for getting to use Viper, I'm trying my best to hold out until I can try Samsung pay beta/release which ever comes first to me then I'll decide to root only after.
I've been wondering this for a while now. I noticed in the OP, there was a choice to use a custom kernel or stay with the stock one. Obviously, we need root to get Viper working BUT do we really need a custom kernel to root 5.1.1. On the Note 5? I'm asking because BOTH of my cars miss Viper from my Note 4 and I'm hearing the current Kernels are causing a few issues with the Note 5, thanks!

You can root using the Noble Kernel which is pretty much a stock kernel and then use the selinux app to change the kernel to permissive.

yes forgot to mention that Ill add that in the OP
Thanks for the reply, Adolfo. Are you having any issues with the Noble Kernel? People are reporting things like battery drain, rebooting and or loss of certain features, Netflix not work, etc. I miss Viper but I would like to know that my phone would be fully functional after root. Also, it seems as if only a few Kernels work with the new firmware that was released yesterday.
Keeps getting more complicated. haha.

Viper4android has nothing to do with Netflix not working, rebooting or battery drain.

While I appreciate the help, Brava, I was responding to Adolfo's recommendation of using the Noble kernel due to it being close to stock. My question was if he's having any issues with that Kernel.
I've used Viper since it's inception so I'm fully aware that it has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned symptoms.
Thanks though.

The perfect setup of Moto X Play

Hey guys!
Power users already have custom kernels and ROMs, and it is possible to tune some advanced settings with and without root, so what did you modified on yours?
A lot of users reported performance issues and others just want more features, more efficiency, etc. Of course, there are those who just likes the device the way it comes from Motorola or don't want to void the warranty.
With all this diversity, I created this thread for we discuss what is the best setup for our device and how can we extract the best of it.
Curently mine is with stock ROM, Xposed, GravityBox and squid's custom kernel.
This setup provides me all Moto features, plus lots of features with GravityBox. I think that the performance is better, because I changed some settings with Kernel Adiutor.

Since each person uses a phone in a way, my idea was to create a space where people could tell which ROM, kernel, apps, themes and other things they use and share the benefits they get. This would make possible to all Moto X Play owners discover new things that could improve the user experience and everybody would win.
Stock rom, greenify, amplify (xda thread for great battery), lspeed mod. Works fine for me

I find that installing xposed on my device causes choppy audio playback. Does this happen with you?
I'm using BlackPlayer and phonograph

Now I'm on Cyanogenmod with a custom kernel, both by squid.
But I remember that when I was on stock, I had no problems with audio neither before or after installing Xposed.
Ohh.. Alright, having never used an android device, how do you find the performance of the device on cyanogenmod compared to stock? Is it worth flashing?

Totally worth it! X Play doesn't have good performance with the stock ROM at this time. There are lags that we don't expect to find on a device at this price range. With Cyanogenmod the UI is very smooth. There are still some lags, but they're normal because we don't have a device with a Snapdragon 8xx. I can say you that with CM, the performance is just as good as you could expect of this hardware (and it's very good). If you are going to flash, I also recommend the squid kernel. It's great.

Thanks man, will let you know. I tried the squid kernel yesterday, phone wouldn't resume out of deep sleep
Any such problems with cyanogenmod that might have occured due to squid kernel?

The only problem I *think* some people have is that on certain wi-fi networks, the wi-fi driver prevents the phone from sleeping. I said *I think* because I don't have this issue and because of this I'm not sure whether it's already solved or if the problem persists. I suggest you to read at least the last pages from the threads of CM and the kernel for you to be sure.
What I can say is that for my usage, I have absolutely no problems. Everything works fine.
i'm using RR 5.5.8 + squid kernel latest update, greenify + amplify, working fine
Does Squid kernel (or Cyanogenmod ) solve the problem of RECENT APPS ?
I mean the impossibility for erasing them all with a single button.

Flash TWRP, root the device then check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/help/xposed-t3191338/post63940401 to be sure which version to use.
Basically, flash the zip provided and reboot :good:
For the first time waiting a little before rooting this phone, since 6.0 is rolling out soon.
As of today mine is running quite smooth on stock 5.1.1
Just disabled all unused/useless apps,
limited the connections and data usage with Netguard and Opera max.
Will keep you posted.
