: Cool:
Hello everyone,
I'm not "dev" trying to create a ROM for cookée EKEN M001, my experience in practice on G1 (Dream) is at its peak: cool: Here is my first EKEN Relax , it is a Donut 1.6 which has increased from 127MB 65Mo after I changed, it gains speed and fluidity from the system much lighter and a significant improvement of tactile.
Installation:
You did not need to be root to flash roms on your M001, always have the EKEN connected to power during flash.
1. Download new firmware
2. Unzip and place the script folder in the root of the SD card
3. Place SD card in M001 and boot up (making sure mains power is connected)
4. Let the M0001 go through its motions to upgrade the firmware which takes about 5 minutes
5. When done take out the SD card and reboot the M0001. You will get the launcher options screen where a default can be chosen or like me you can leave the default tick box unticked and try out all the different options for a few times till you find one that you prefer.
6. Delete the script folder on the SD card either on your laptop or using the file browser on the M0001.
(Thank to mhorst)

Not to seem stupid but you say overclocking via kernel is possible ??? How do I do that ?
Have you been successful at watching a video on your Eken ? Mine seems like it doesn't have enough processing power to do so.

Can you post the links to the files that your using??? ROM, KERNEL, THEME AND OVERCLOCK FILE??? i ll like to test it...
Hmmm if you talk about overall speed and stability, go for CM 6.3.0 then update to 6.3.1 via the CM update engine inside the rom. This plus the dsifix newest version = nothing beats it, even stock roms.
I've been running similar to this for quite some time, and NOTHING BEATS STOCK BATTERY LIFE. That is my biggest problem with all the custom roms.
b4 i bought my xperia play this is the setup i wished someone would make, but i had no idea how to go abouts it myself, if you could make a quick guide on how to achieve this setup im sure many would be very appreciative.
Give me a gew days please
At the moment i'm without real internet access

so what are all those mods about then?
I've used Stock-ROM for a long time as well, but i was not able to get any modules working (DSIfix). how did you do that?
thx for your help!
Can you post nandroid backup of this ROM? I'm really want to try it.
Thanks

Kernel from here:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221
I used the africa kernel (full sfb not service!) because it the newest one with less DSI errors but should also work with others
I use Androidiani OR

for dsifix on stock 2.2 you need

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...sammen-mit-dsifix-ko-laden-4.html#post1854391
thanks tuxor! <=
some additional modules (I think important is the new symsearch.ko!
https://raw.github.com/nadlabak/and...gingerbread/prebuilt/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
https://raw.github.com/nadlabak/and...erbread/prebuilt/lib/modules/cpufreq_stats.ko
https://raw.github.com/nadlabak/and...gingerbread/prebuilt/lib/modules/overclock.ko
copy all modules to /system/lib/modules
should have permission 644 and owner root:shell (0:2000)
0)
backup your phone - I prefer nandroid!!!!!
If something went wrong your phone will not boot!
Then go back to androidiani or and fix the problem with console or recover your backup!
1)
if not already done:
copy mot_boot_mode to mot_boot_mode.bin
create a new one (with the same permissions and ownership)
/system/bin/mot_boot_mode:
--
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/system/bin:$PATH
#run original script
mot_boot_mode.bin
for BOOT in "/system/etc/init.d/"*; do
.$BOOT
done
--
2)
create
/system/etc/init.d/00modules:
--
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_stats.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
--
# then dsifix together with overclock should works fine
3)
/system/etc/init.d/10overclock:
--
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "5 900000000 62" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "4 700000000 54" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "3 500000000 47" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 250000000 34" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "1 125000000 32" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
--
additional benefit:
all apps where now shown in battery statistiks
dsifix - i tried version 2.4 - without any problems, no batt drain
at the moment I try 2.61 seems also works fine
please follow the thread of kabladan
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210819
thanks to kabaldan for this great work!
I use link2sd (market) to expand the memory of the phone
(hint: format your sdcard with a second FAT partition for that - NOT ext2/3/4)
christian7301 from android-hilfe forum uses memhack from which also should work fine.
Hope that will help

if you are using a current OR you can choose which partitions should be backuped to nandroid. I guess you have to select all except 'Data'.
isn't gingerbread web browser better than stock?

So I tried to make a nandroid backup excluding personal data. The restore doesnt run.
The problem I realized - I deleted some core apps cause I dont use them. E.g. I use launcher pro so I deleted tbe default launcher.
The nandroid restore was succsessful but first boot of the device fails because of the lack of a launcher.
So at the moment I could not create a bootable nandroid - sorry

I'll give this a go and make a nandroid backup for guys interested today.
Update : I'll make a nandroid of the full stock rom with fixes and a flashable zip with the fixes alone.
Flashable zip
Here is the flashable zip of the fixes mentioned in OP. The only requirement is that you have the ability to run AOR, meaning you need vulnerable recovery flashed. I tried this on a fresh flash of the ARAB sbf.
Please backup before flashing this. This is for stock milestone roms only.
This zip will accomplish the following.
1. Root your phone
2. Install busybox
3. Install modules and script to overclock your phone to the settings shown below. You can edit the 10Overclock file to your liking. I have used CM6 settings.
Code:
echo "5 1000000000 64" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "4 800000000 59" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "3 600000000 52" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 400000000 40" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "1 250000000 32" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
4. Activate init.d support. You can add additional scripts to this folder to run it, like apps2ext, Zeppe's Supercharger, Kernel Tweaks etc.
5. Install the latest DSI Fix 2.61 ( thanks to the master )
6. Install autoboot to recovery script. I have included an app, quickboot for it. Those who have APM can use that.
I have also added an awesome app called CPUStats which is very handy to see information about your CPU stats . Thanks to amossam the developer.
If you have any doubts, please ask. A few screenshots.

can anyone compare overall speed, multitasking abilities, gaming performance and battery life (maybe stock browser) of this solution to CM7?

Compared to CM7 this rom is perfect. Excellent battery life, decent gaming performance, very speedy with no slow down, and excellent multitasking. Only downside is less customization abilities, but one could easily get past that

Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I suggest you to backup your IMEI too. The easiest and safest way to do this is simply writing both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information).
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard
Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:
ATTENTION: REPARTITIONING WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD
Click on "Repartition" and choose desired /data partition size (rom stock value is 1.5GB for any iocean model)
Installation process WILL NOT INSTALL ROM (only resize /data)
Reboot into your ORIGINAL ROM, you should get an error message as the one below (if you don't get this message, just skip this point):
Click on "Reset phone" (this will reboot into recovery) and wait until it automatically reboot into your original rom again
You now need to reboot into recovery to install GammaRom v1.2 (you only repartitioned your original rom so far). You can do this in 3 different ways (choose only one):
Quick way ---> Switch your phone off, connect it to your pc, push power button + volume up button at the same time until you enter recovery
Geek way ---> You can skip Google account login (if asked to login) tapping on upper left corner of the screen then upper right corner, botton right corner and finally botton left corner. Once skipped google signing in, reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Dummy way ---> Login with your Google account (if asked to login) and reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Congratulation, you successfully repartitioned your phone. :highfive: You can now follow this guide from point 3 onwards (wipe data, cache, dalvik and install rom zip) this time choosing "Do nothing" instead of "Repartition".
Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide
In order to get the best experience from this rom, read guide below:
AVOID CRAP IMPORTANT!!
Absolutely DO NOT install crappy apps on this rom: NO RAM Booster apps, NO task killers, NO Clean Master, no apps that just consume ram, increase wakelocks and produce lags.
Any kind of task killer will heavily increase lags on this rom whose background apps are already handled by its optimizations scripts. This kinda app will only create conflicts.
Remember to not install AdAway (or similar) neither because this rom has an AdBlock already included. If possible avoid Antivirus too, IMO they're not really necessary on Android.
Resolution Changer
What is it?
This is a series of scripts written by me which will let you change iocean x7 resolution from 1080x1920 to any other value lower than stock. At the same time it gives you the possibility to change dpi according to your preferences.
Why should you use this?
Reducing resolution will boost your performances from different point of views: first of all smoother scrolling, faster interface, lower ram usage and probably even a better battery life (I still need to check this one).
Anyways these scripts are not meant to permanently reduce your resolution, but only in case of need: you can switch to lower resolution when you need to increase performances (for example for gaming) and switch back to stock 1080p resolution as performances boost is no longer needed.
Everything is made completely automatic through these scripts, you just need to launch them and follow instructions.
I know that this could be done through an app, but first of all that app is for pay in my country (that's why I created this), secondly an app consumes ram, this script does not! :laugh:
Is there any drawback?
Yes, lowering resolution will temporarily make your menu, home and back button unavailable. They will stop working until you switch back to 1080p resolution: it's not possible to make them work at lower resolutions, that's why this script automatically enables software keys.
Moreover some apps may not be shown correctly depending on resolution used; here a few examples:
-Xperia Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 720p resoution (720x1280)
-Apex Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 600p resoution (600x1066)
-Swiftkey keyboard doesn't show properly at lower resolution (use GammaRom stock keyboard)
- [...]
You simply need to change launcher/keyboard if the one you're using is not completely compatible with requested resolution.
How can you change resolution?
I made it simple for you, just read hidden instructions below!
First of all launch Android Terminal Emulator app and enter one of these commands (first time you launch this script, it'll ask for root privilages):
Code:
resolution width height dpi
Sets resolution to (width)x(height) and dpi to (dpi). For example you can type in terminal emulator the following:
Code:
resolution 720 1280 320
entering this will set resolution to 720x1280 and dpi to 320dpi that are typical values for 720p screens (Samsung Galaxy S3, ...)
Code:
resolution 1080 1920 480
entering this will set resolution to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi that are typical values for 1080p screens (Iocean x7 stock values, ...)
With this command (resolution width height dpi) You can set resolution to any value you want. Of course be reasonable: you have a 16:9 screen so (height)/(width) should always be around 16:9. You can start from 1080p stock values (1080 1920 480) and divide these three number by the same quantity. For example, dividing by 1.2, another good working command would be:
Code:
resolution 900 1600 400
which will set resolution to 900x1600 and dpi to 400dpi. Everything clear? Hope it is! You can experiment as many resolution as you wish and find out which one is the best for your usage.
In addition to "resolution width height dpi" command, I prepared other 5 easy to use scripts that you can launch simply typing:
Code:
1080p
it's the same as "resolution 1080 1920 480" (reverts back to stock Iocean values)
Code:
900p
it's the same as "resolution 900 1600 400"
Code:
720p
it's the same as "resolution 720 1280 320"
Code:
600p
it's the same as "resolution 600 1066 260"
Code:
500p
it's the same as "resolution 500 890 220"
These 5 scripts (1080p, 900p, 720p, 600p, 500p) can be used with "f" option (where "f" stands for "fast"). Let's make an example:
Code:
1080p f
typing "1080p f" in terminal emulator resolution will be quickly set to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi without any waste of time. Resolution script has a lot of checks that ensures that you know what you're doing and that explains in details what the script is doing. Typing in android terminal "resolution 1080 1920 480" or "1080p" or "1080p f" will revert back to stock resolution in all three cases, but the last one (1080p f) will do it more quickly.
The same for "900p f", "720p f", "600p f", "500p f": they switch to 900p, 720p, 600p and 500p resolution more quickly than without typing "f".
Here's a screen just to give you an idea on how it looks like:
How can you revert back to stock Iocean resolution?
Simply launch Android Terminal emulator and type:
Code:
1080p
or
Code:
1080p f
In case of issues of any kind that make this procedure unavailable, flash following zip in recovery (only in case of emergency, otherwise use procedure described above):
Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip
AdBlock
GammaRom has an embedded AdBlocking service which will prevent most part of adverts/malicious websites from showing. Sometimes its action may be unwanted (it may block safe websites that you intentionally want to visit). That's why I created this simple script that gives you the possibility to switch between 3 different adblocking according to your needs.
Launch Android Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
adblock
Folllow instructions and choose your preferred AdBlocking:
No adblocking (Iocean x7 stock rom default)
AdAway adblocking (Light and fast adblocking - Gamma v1.2 default)
Mother of All AD-BLOCKING by BSDgeek_Jake (slightly higher ram usage, but very aggressive and complete adblocking: blocks almost any Ads - Gamma v1.0 default)
Sometimes AdAway and Mother of All Adblocking may block even safe websites from showing; if this happen to you, launch terminal emulator and disable all adblocking (option 1) and enable them again when you want them back (option 2 or 3).
Battery Life
Here you can find 3 advices that will greatly improve your phone Battery Life:
Die Hard Battery Calibrator (by zeppelinrox)
I included in this rom Die Hard Battery Calibrator script developed by zeppelinrox. Follow instructions below to take the max out of your battery:
Charge your phone till 100%
Keep phone plugged in, launch terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
BatteryCalibrator
Follow instructions (wait until phone voltages overcomes 4200mV, then type "A" which will reboot your phone after 20minutes (leave it plugged in still) )
Once rebooted, you can type BatteryCalibrator in terminal emulator again and check voltage and battery percentage (just to check, this step is not really fundamental)
Unplug your phone (shown voltage will go down a bit) and use it the whole day until it turns off (battery percentage shown may not be real since you just deleted batterystats)
Recharge till 100%
Use your phone!
Google Location service
Disabling this will improve your battery life a lot; especially if you don't need it (if you need it, try to keep it disabled when not necessary).
Launch Settings > Location Access > Disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
Monitor Wakelocks
I included Wakelock Detector app developed by ahikmat in this rom. This app lets you check which app or service is draining your battery generating wakelocks (high number of wakelocks = high battery drain).
Launch Wakelock Detector app > go into settings > enable advanced mode > Check whether any suspicious/unwanted app is generating wakelocks.
You can find a detailed guide on how to use this app in original thread linked above.
GravityBox
GravityBox is an Xposed module which uses Xposed framework to apply real time modifications to your system. This gives you the possibility to customize your android device according to your needs.
Once you've installed this rom, launch GravityBox app (or go to Settings>GravityBox if you prefer) and mod your Iocean as you wish: most part of modifications will be applied immediately, part of them may require reboot to become effective.
Viper4Android
This mod gives you the possibility to enhance audio quality and volume in a quite surprisingly way if configured properly.
Once installed this rom, launch Viper4Android, give it root access and click on "Yes" at V4A Driver Update request. Choose desired installation type (keep in mind that this will affect battery life) and reboot. Once rebooted you're now ready to customize your phone's audio response according to your tastes: launch Viper4Android and enable Viper4Android features as you wish in the three fields Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth Device.
In order to further edit the audio, it's possible to download (free or paid) some Impulse Response Samples (IRS); see the thread below for a detailed guide and further details about it:
[V4A][IRS] Impulse Response Sample Index Thread
If you're lazy and don't wanna read that guide, just download the following IRS starter pack, unzip it and put all *.irs files in the path /sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel (this path will be automatically created by V4A app once you install drivers). All these *.irs files will become selectable in Convolver field inside V4A app.
IRS Starter Pack.zip
Xposed Framework
Xposed Framework app has a "Download" section where you can upgrade existing xposed modules (eg: GravityBox) everytime their developer releases a new version or even download new modules from the list to add new features. Be careful though: some of them are incompatible with each other and other are only device specific (Samsung, HTC, ...) and won't work on your phone. Moreover too many xposed modules may slow down system according to my personal experience.
GravityBox already covers most part of other modules features, but another good module is "App Settings" which, for example, will give you the possibility to set different DPI for each app.
GPS
GPS connection had a perceivable improvement with latest kernel and modules and I added some optimizations that will help too. To make it work properly you'll need to modify the first lines of gps.conf in /system/etc path with specific servers for your country.
Inside gps.conf you'll find these servers that work good for Italy:
Code:
# Italy ===============================
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
If you live in Europe, just edit the first with the one for your country, otherwise you'll need to edit both. Leave all the rest of gps.conf file exactly as it is, just edit these lines. You can find a list of servers for any country here.
For example if you live in Slovakia (Europe) first lines of build.prop would become something like this:
Code:
# Slovakia ============================
NTP_SERVER=sk.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
In order to speed up gps fix, open Settings>Location Access and enable EPO (download epo data too), A-GPS, GPS and launch Location Engineering menu. Once in Location Engineering Mode, go to GPS tab and enable GPS to scan satellites (need to be outside to find any). After a few minutes it should start fixing satellites (first ever fix will take longer) and you should be finally able to use Iocean x7 GPS.
Another advice I can give you is to use Copilot as navigation app!
If it still doesn't work the only way is to modify your antenna (as I did).
Hardware Keys Backlight
This will work only on Iocean x7 Youth clocked @1.2GHz (no effects on any other Iocean x7).
You can turn on/off hardware keys backlight typing:
Code:
lights on
turns lights on
Code:
lights off
turns lights off
Ringtone
You probably still don't understand why I'm pointing this out...well...you'll get it once you receive your first incoming call...I love this ringtone, but probably many of you won't! If you're among them, go into Settings>Audio profiles>General and change ringtone. I recommend you to keep it
That's it guys, flash responsibly! :good:

Yes, you should have both stock camera and lenovo camera, the same for Gallery. If Settings>Viper4Android crashes it means there's no Viper4Android installed. Try to check in app drawer whether you see it or not. I just tried to flash again with TWRP the whole rom on my Iocean Youth and got no issues.
It seems like your installation process had some issues, which recovery have you used? Anyways try to flash back formatting cache, dalvik, data and system, possibly with a different recevoery (I tested it on my TWRP linked in post #1) and let me know :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I tried to flash with CWM recovery linked in post#1 and had no issues even in that case
EDIT2: I flashed starting from different situations (stock youth 0703, stock elite 0722, custom, ...) with different recoveries, but couldn't reproduce your issues on my youth. As I said, try to flash back and don't forget full wipe.

Anyways 10000 is not normal, do you have any CPU governor installed? It seems like you're not running at maximum clock.
My antutu on GammaRom is 12899 as you can see in the pic:
Antutu is definitely not important, but check that's everything's fine (CPU clock, background apps,...).

Yeah I've that rom on my SD card, I quickly tried it a few weeks ago. Benchmarks aren't very significant, but as you can see above I got an higher score. That doesn't mean much, if I repeat that test in different situations results will change.
I'll focus on GammaRom for the next period because I prefer to concentrate my efforts on only one work rather than releasing many roms almost equal to each other. For the future I'd rather start from a clean stock rom, and I like Iocean's firmware which is really clean and close to Vanilla android. I tried many xperia roms, but don't really liked them so far. Anyways I still couldn't download Xperia C stock rom to give it a try. We'll see!

You can see a few screenshots in post #1. I took xperia launcher and I slightly modded it, but you can change it if you don't like it (I can give you stock launcher if you prefer). For what concerns icons they are Iocean's stock ones except from some of them which I replaced with higher definition ones taken from thl firmware (email, sms,...).

Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?

Rooting hp slate 7 or 6 voicetab is very easy
Warning n.1 :- do not install any otas. Fotakill is uploaded for convenience
You will still receive updates after rooting
Many hp devices already have busybox, bash,swap support etc
you will need to install openvpn, sqlite, etc binary separately
rooting :- Root it through kingo root
While rooting your device may turn off and start charging, if it happens turn it on
The same will happen again
Turn it on again
Done! Rooted
If it didn’t work, try vroot
To replace vroot with supersu , go to http://goo.gl/r9uENy
Try cydias impactor as well
Important warning :- Don’t take any otas, especially if you have the hp slate 7 6102ra voicetab
The above method worked for me.
Tell me if there is any problem.
Vroot link :- http://goo.gl/sFnoCX
Kingo root link :- http://goo.gl/7vT35O
I will write a comprehensive guide to speed up these devices.
I have uploaded my modded build.prop you can check it once
Safe to install xposed
Safe to root
If you're an Indian user there is no update.zip to restore the device to factory state
Don't install update to KitKat on hp slate 7 6102ra it will brick your phone
Don't ask how to unlock bootloader. There is already a guide on xda-developers.com
Please support chainfire
You can support chainfire by installing supersu pro
No illegal activity
Please do not do illegal things with root.
If you intend to use lp, use it for legal things like DPI patches etc.
after root
after root, there's lot work to do for this phablet
I'm curious, how to overclock it to 1.283Ghz? the SKU setting tell it capable to run till 1,3Ghz (*#*#4636#*#* method), I've tried modify its governor and cpu frequencies under /sys/ directories, it still refuse to run 1.3Ghz, the file revert back to its original state after I modify it
my device detail:
6002ra, 1.01.06 A, stock ROM Android 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.39, rooted, ART runtime.
Are you running on Marvell chipset or Marvell processor? Please read carefully this guide is for hp slate 7 6101 and 6102ra voicetabs and for slate 6 phablets.
There's an easier way to clock it.
Sorry but it's impossible to do it in root.
Luckily, I found a method :-
1 Open secret menu *#*#4636#*#*.
2 Click on Marvell testing.
3 Click on powersettting.
4 Turn powersettting service and power meter on.
5 Go to frequency setting.
6 Turn off dynamic frequency.
7 Click on set frequency.
8 Click on benchmark.
9 Over clocked to highest anything else requires a custom kernel.
I am not responsible for things like over-heating etc.
Over clocking vpu is a bit tricky I'll post a guide on that too.
If you want to know how to root a phone ask me
However you should take responsibility for anything that happens to your phone
It is safe to install xposed on these devices
See my other guide to root Panasonic eluga a
It is impossible to unlock bootloader. Don't try it

go to http://goo.gl/VZn5EX
overclocking the VPU give me nothing but overheated battery, I revert back to its factory settings at 400Mhz
funny fact that slate 6 will work much more cool and responsive if you set the memory speed at 533Mhz,, 3D and 2D engine at 384Mhz, leave anything else stock
Note: ART runtime will ruins device stability, don't use it in its stock 4.4.2 ROM

hi,
to tell you how to clock it, i will take example of the VPU (GPU)
after a lot of experiments , i found you cannot use the echo >> <xxxx> /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq command but if you copy the /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq to /sdcard, modify it and place it back to /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq, it works!
to make a startup script
type cp /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq /sdcard
modify it (caution - value should be equal to /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/max_freq !) and use rom toolbox pro/free to create a startup script as follows
cp /sdcard/min_freq /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq
or use
cp /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/max_freq /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq

overclocking the VPU give me nothing but overheated battery, I revert back to its factory settings at 400Mhz
funny fact that slate 6 will work much more cool and responsive if you set the memory speed at 533Mhz,, 3D and 2D engine at 384Mhz, leave anything else stock
Note: ART runtime will ruins device stability, don't use it in its stock 4.4.2 ROM

hi,
please try going to developer options (these are hidden - google it) and select force gpu rendering, disable hw overlays, force 4x msaa and profile gpu rendering (caution - profile gpu rendering can cause negative performance if the graphics card quality is poor-it happens on my hp slate 7 voicetab
im sorry, i cant test on ART as hp released a buggy update.zip to kitkat file which bricks any device- rooted or unrooted. so i can't test on kitkat and xposed doesn't work on kitkat ART anyways
thanks, i have overclocked and found no heat. perhaps you are using a different device with a faster processor ? ill try to reproduce the problem at my end. if you are using greenify, uninstall it unless using xposed mode. i got a really hot phone (hot enough to cook my food) while using greenify in root mode but no problem in xposed mode
1979 views on youtube video ! thanks guys you rock !
do not flash audio mods. your phone's sound will totally go away !

its not at all funny. the more you speed it up, the faster a task will complete. the phone can then go into sleep mode much more frequently-even when the screen is on. this means your processor will be sleeping 50-70% more if you increase clock speed which translates into a cooler device with much more responsiveness and better battery life. who says oc is bad for battery life? (unless you overdo it-be careful,my friend)
Hello guys
I've seen lots of people here and on other places complaining about the S5 mini
bad preformance,multitasking,apps being redrawed...etc including me especially after updating to lollipop (G800H)
so I've searched alot really alot for mods to improve the device and aftar alot of testing i was able to do that
so im just sharin with you other people works nothing more
STEP 1
if you're not a lollipop user (G800H) skip Step 1 and 2
download and install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/general/sim-wifi-fix-aftar-lollipop-update-t3224352
it will fix any possible Sim&Wifi issues after updating to lollipop and improve the preformance a little
if you're already a lollipop user its fine install it and then reinstall the lollipop rom
factory reset is recommended aftar updating
STEP 2
Root your device using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/general/guide-rooting-g800h-lollipop-5-1-1-t3226508
i know most of you dont trust the russian site but its 100% safe I've been using it since it was released without any single problem
STEP 3
Download busybox and install it (free on the playstore)
download any kernel manager from the playstore (kernel adiutor is recommended)
go to build.prop and do the following:
In your build.prop under #DHA Properties change these two lines:
Code:
ro.config.dha_cached_max=12
ro.config.dha_empty_max=36
Add these 4 lines:
Code:
ro.config.dha_th_rate=2.3
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=0.545
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_max=70
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_min=8
Scroll down beyond the DHA properties where the other properties are stored and remove duplicate entires of*
Code:
ro.config.dha_cached_max=
ro.config.dha_empty_max=
ro.config.dha_th_rate=
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=
Finally this one will change your LMK values:
Code:
ro.config.oomminfree_high=7628,9768,11909,14515,16655,20469
now go to virtual memory in kernel adiutor and change the swappiness to 175
reboot your device and you're done
TESTED ON MY G800H RUNNING STOCK 5.1.1
IT SHOULD WORK ON ANY 4.4+ TW ROM BUT HAVEN'T TESTED IT ON KITKAT
PLEASE TEST AND TELL ME
i might also make a review video on YouTube when i have some free time so you can see the speed in your eyes
Thank you and thank everyone who created those mods in first place i cant write names because i dont remember where did i got them from due to lots of testing lots of mods
Good luck

if you want to speed your phone even more then do the following:
EXTRA STEP 1
download and install Ram manager (available on the playstore as free and paid version)
make a new swap file with it (500MB is recommended)
it will increase the amount of ram for more multitasking
EXTRA STEP 2
use this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/general/smooth-5-1-1-tw-experience-t3228109
it will remove samsung system apps that you chose and other stuff freeing more system memory to make the device even faster and incase you want to install the swap on the system so there will be enough memory there
EXTRA STEP 3
Go to developer options under the settings and change all animations to 0.5 i know this is kind of old : v but its effective
Waiting for your feedback
It really seems to be faster now, thank you!
Why does Samsung provide us with such a slowed down stock ROM???

its not the phone itself problem but the TW rom
other phones including the S6 have the same problems
i think sammy needs some more developers and testers :/
What about G800F users? Will it work too?

I cant conform that though i would really appreciated if you test and report

Do I have to use any recoveries, like CWM or TWRP? And what's better?
