Hello to all
Too many people don't have enough posts to post on my rom's thread.
So i decided to created a new thread in general!
Here you can post your problems or ask something you dont understand for the flashing process etc.
Will be posted flashing info and known flashing problems here soon.
So feel free to post your question, or report a bug!
1. How to flash Kyrillos' rom?
- Instructions: Here
2. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom and after flashing the phone bootloops (it plays the same boot sound again and again).
- You havent done a Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery mode. Remove the battery & re-insert it, go into recovery mode (Vol up + Vol down + home + power), and select the Wipe data/factory reset option. Click yes, and reboot.
3. The phone booted but my sd partition isnt working. What should i do?
- Firstly you have to ensure that you put the Hybrid Data2SD files in your sdcard. They are contained in v8.0 rom you downloaded. You can also download them from here. You must put the four files (data2sd.dirs, fs.data2sd, multiosdata, multiosdata.cache) in /sdcard/Android/data/G3mod/*. Then reboot your phone and your partition should work.
4. I partitioned my sdcard but i dont see the free sdcard (a2sd) space in Titanium Backup.
- Hybrid Data2SD doesnt show up in Titanium Backup. Its normal Fixed
5. After restoring my backup with Titanium Backup, i dont see all my apps in Android Market.
- Go in Titanium Backup, find Android Market and wipe Android Market's data. Reboot your phone, and it should be ok.
6. I have too much lag!
- Make sure that you dont have more than 50 User Apps installed in your phone.
- Go in titanium and do a batch operation: Move all apps to internal memory
- If you have a linux-swap partition in your sdcard, delete it.
- Go in Settings/Sound and disable all Feedback sounds (leave the haptic feedback checked if you want )
7. I have battery drain issue.
- Let the battery calibrate itself and after 3-4 days recheck if the problem remains.
- If your problem isn't fixed and you have installed the Overclocked version, install Setcpu and change the governor to OnDemand or Conservative. You can try to Undervolt/Underclock the cpu too. You should make a screen off profile (83min - 400max) too.
- If SetCPU is not used, in OC version, CPU frequency is at stable 800MHz, on performance, so there MUST be a battery draining^^
So, SetCPU is absolute nesassary to be installed and set up. Best working governour is ondemand, if it laggs, drop up threshold in advanced to lower level.
8. What are the best settings for setcpu? [Updated 25/10/11]
- Main tab: Min 83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand (or Conservative), Set on boot: Tick
- Profiles tab: Set on boot: tick
- Profile (1): In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
- Profile (2): Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
- Profile (3): Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
- Voltages: Try -100mV in all frequencies from 500-1200. If it hangs, try -75mV/-50mV, apply, set on boot: tick
9. How to enable v6 supercharger?
- Go in Terminal Emulator, type "su" hit [enter] (you may see a superuser popup, press "Allow", then type "v6_supercharger" hit [enter]
- Choose scrolling speed "2".
- It will ask you if you want intergration with init.rc, choose yes (press Y).
- It will ask you if the home is locked in memory, choose no (Press whatever you want except Y)
- When you see this: Please enter option 1-30, enter 2
- Let the rest of the text scroll through. When script finishes, press the home button, then press the power button and reboot the phone.
- For best results, go in recovery and wipe dalvik-cache and cache.
Note: You must re-enabled v6_supercharger after kyrillos' rom updates!
10. I have a partition in my sdcard and each time i try to install an app from market, the phone just reboots!
- This could be a corrupted filesystem problem. Make a backup d repartition your sd.
- Wipe data/factory reset.
11. I really miss some removed apps. Where can i find them & how to install them?
- You can find any app you want in this thread [By Dharam]
- To install an app, you must put it in /system/app/. There are many ways to do that.
- a) Copy the app you want to install in your sdcard. Use an app, which called root explorer. Open it, find the app you want, copy it, navigate to /system/app/, press the Mount R/W button on the top-right of your screen once, the click paste. Reboot your phone.
- b) You must know how to use adb. adb push appname.apk /system/app/
12. Kies isn't working.
- I highly recommend you to stop using Kies and start using Titanium Backup!
- Anyway, to get it working you must download this and this app and put it in /system/app/
13. How much left data space is normal to have after i install Kyrillos' rom?
- If you dont have partition in your sdcard: ~112MB
- If you have partition in your sdcard: ~150+MB
14. Gps isn't working.
- The gps in our phone isnt the best. I did try to make it better and for many users i did succeed.
15. I have partition in my sdcard but internal storage is still 200MB instead of eg. 1200MB (if partition => 1GB)
- Its normal. Your partition works as it should, but its not full data2sd, and thats the reason that it doesnt show 1200MB.
16. One of my apps cant start because it detects that i have adblock on my phone.
- Download Adfree Android from Android Market, open it and click "Revert"
17. When i sent messages in Arabic it displays ??? ? ? ???? ??? ???
- Go in messaging settings => Input Mode: and change it to Automatic or Unicode
18. I want to set an mp3 file as ringtone or notification sound. What should i do?
- Make a "media" folder in your sdcard. Inside it make an "audio" folder and then make a "ringtones" or "notifications" folder and place the mp3. Reboot and select it from settings
19. The order of the messages is fu**ed up. How to fix it?
- Go to Settings => Date and Time. Untick "Automatic" and et the correct Time Zone!
20. Sometimes i see squares instead of letters.
- It happens because the Ubuntu font. Download android fonts from v9.0_extras if you cant live with it
21. What about themes? How can i know if a theme is compatible with kyrillos rom?
- Firstly, you have to check it it supports nine lockscreen. (If it doesnt, contact the developer of the theme and ask him to enable his theme 9 lockscreen support)
- You can replace any if the theme files EXCEPT: Settings.apk, android.policy.jar, framework.jar, services.jar. If you do replace any if those, your phone will bootloop.
- Enjoy the theme
22. What is Chainfire3D? How to configure it? (Use version v2.8)
- Info: Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality. (More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
- With Kyrillos' rom v9 + Chainfire3D you can play some 3d games, or play some games better than before & without white textures.
- Chainfire3D installation: Ensure that you have Kyrillos' rom v9 OC. Download Chainfire3D Free or Chainfire3D Pro, run it, accept the su permissions. Press "CF3D driver", and then press "Install". The phone will reboot in a few seconds/minutes.
- Plugin installation: When it boots up, download the plugins (search for Chainfire3D plugins on google. Plugins: libGLEMU_NVIDIA.so, libGLEMU_POWERVR.so, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so), put the in your sdcard and open the app. Press "Install Plugins and Shaders". The app will search your phone to see if there is any plugin available in your sd. Install all the three plugins. Go back to the main app menu.
- Configure Chainfire3D: In the main app menu, press "Default OpelGL settings". Select the option "Reduce texture quality", and then choose plugin by pressing "Use plugin". There are 3 choices: Powervr, Qualcomm & Nvidia.
- Test the plugins: Select the "Powervr" plugin and run the game you want. Run it for a minute. Then close the game and change the plugin to "Qualcomm" and run the game for a minute. Compare which plugin worked best (if it worked) and enjoy the game. Note: Nvidia games require Nvidia plugin.
23. Most of the apps are being installed in sdcard instead of internal/partition. How can i change the default app install location to internal?
- Open terminal amulator
- Type:
su (enter)
pm setInstallLocation 1 (enter)
- Done [Info: 0 (Auto), 1 (Internal), 2 (External). You can see the current state by typing "pm getInstallLocation".]
24. How to convert my sdext partition from ext3 to ext4?
- Download KMapp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697
- Install it and run it. Accept the superuser permissions and press the menu button. Select "Filesystem Conversion". Scroll down and select Sdext => ext4 and click "Convert".
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

I flashed your version of ROM directly from DDJP2 with the hope that camera bug would go,and the facebook touchsite would open. But even your rom has the same thing. So i changed to the european version new release XWJPF. And its pretty stable an i can bet its boots alot faster than any of the custom rom or even offcial ROM.
Anyway is there any solution.
1)The camera bug. YOu cant click a photo unless you get a fix on location or disable the location settings.
2)Facebook touchsite wont open like it use to open in eclair. DDJP6. And when you open facebook it shows GT-I5510.
Please fix this.

Linux-Swap
What is SWAP?
Swap space is an auxiliary storage, such as a portion of a hard-disk, which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is insufficient. This is especially useful on systems with very little system RAM, such as most DD-WRT compatible routers, as it helps prevent the system from running out of memory when multiple background processes are installed.
Swap is rarely used, and if you have a high class sd you may see more responsive phone.

So in a class 2 SD swap should not be used.
But a class 4 is OK, isn't it?
thx for this thread. Reading for a long time, but i never made a post, because its not possible on the other thread.
Using the non OC 4.1, b/c i had freezes with the OC version. But the normal version is ok for me.

The "gt 5510" issue is Facebook's problem, not Kyrillos's or Samsungs problem. This does not affect anything, other phones are detected falsely, too. Facebook divided phones to groups and the most ubiquotous phone is shown. This only serves for offering you the correct version of Facebook app. This is a non issue.
I never saw "the camera bug", is this present only in India?

i mean when ever i open facebook touch site the mobile site opens. And is there any solution for the camera bug???
Every time i click a photo i have to wait for a lock or have to disable the location.
My camera was working perfect on Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
And when i flashed kyrillos 4.1 i ddnt do any partition or anything i directly flashed it over DDJP2 by wiping cache. And i ddnt understand the procedure of the partitioning properly. I liked the ROM though.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.
DDJG6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF
tnx for thread.
I have v4.1 and i had some probs. 1st when using CoPilot and GPS. Phone was just turn off, and that happend 4 times :S. 2nd: Day before yesterday, phone just turned it self off, and i couldnt turn it on.
Everything else is OK, I have OC version and its great!
Also, can you put battery change by 1% in new version?

GPS problem flashing from Lestat 1.8 >> Kyrillos 4.1 fixed
Kryrillos,
Thanks for all these roms
Curruntly using 4.1 ultimate non OC.
4.1 OC just sometimes freezes even at 667 mhz.
Tried Lestat 1.8 alpha 14 is was very slow with reading sd card and also the phone reacts slow.
So decide to flash back to Kyrillos 4.1 non oc.
Everything works only GPS fix was not working.
After wipe cache / factory reset.
It is oke, gps fix in 30 sec or less.
can you do something about flash and 3d driver for next version ?

Facebook mobile site is supposed to open if you access Facebook trough browser. Facebook redirects you to the most appropriate version of the site for your device/browser. If you want the Facebook Touch experience, download the Facebook app - called Facebook Touch.

I have tried using facebook touch app but it redirects me to the mobile site i dont know why. Even on the official India Update DDJP2. And what about the camera bug?
Sometimes when the phone comes out of flight mode when i try to open wlan ,it does not work and a error comes in the settings.

Q&A coming soon from cooleagle
Basic noobie questions:
Q1: What is Android? I heard that my phone has this as said by the guy who sold me this phone......
A1: Hello new user, Android is an Operating System (a.k.a OS) for phones, like how Windows is for computers. It is meant to be simple, efficient and customisable.
More can be seen here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
Q2: What is root? What does it do?
A2: Rooting is the process of attaining superuser (su) access to your phone. It is similiar to the jailbreaking process on Apple phones
Q3: What are the different Android versions available for our phone?
A3: Currently only 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Don't worry, Cyanogenmod 7 will have 2.3.7
Q4: I've heard all this commotion about "stock" firmwares. What are they?
A4: Okay, stock firmwares are update files from Samsung which are available for download. This stock firmware may also stand for factory firmware (if you didn't update)
Q5: What's build.prop? What are some of the build.prop tweaks and meanings?
A5: Build.prop is a file that defines the build properties of the build and phone. It is a necessary part of the phone and if it's missing, the phone may not be able to boot.
Here are some build.prop tweaks:
pm.sleep_mode=(0 or 1)
Enables the phone's sleep mode.
0 to disable, 1 to enable.
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=(0 or 1)
Disables the network power collapse, allowing the phone to sleep better.
0 to disable, 1 to enable tweak.
dalvik.vm.heapsize=(amount in mb, e.g 48m)
Defines the Dalvik Virtual Machine Heapsize for games to run better.
ro.sf.lcd_density=(0-999, Galaxy R default is 240)
Defines the LCD density (in dpi) for your device. It's recommended not to change your density for Samsung phones as they will cause problems with your phone's Dialer service.
wifi.suppliant_scan_interval=(time in seconds, e.g. 60)
Defines the time taken to scan for new WiFi networks if no open networks are found. Setting the option higher may save more battery as it scans lesser.
persist.sys.camera-mute=(0 or 1)
Turns off the camera shutter sound (Be careful with this, it may be illegal in yoir region!)
You can also try this suggestion by pudup:
pudup said:
To disable the camera sound, there's a few things you can do.
1. This one is kinda annoying but if the sound annoys you more, you could just put your phone on silent or hold the volume down button until the volume is off. The camera shutter sound shouldn't be heard.
2. Download an alternate camera application. Eg. LGCamera.
3. Wait for the CyanogenMod 7 rom. That has the option to disable the sound in it's settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
0 to turn sounds, 1 to turn off sounds.
video.accelerate.hw=(0 or 1)
Enables hardware decoding of videos. Only for video formats natively supported by phone.
0 to disable, 1 to enable.
ro.ril.hsxpa=(0, 1, 2 or 3, default is 1)
Determines the speed of your HSUPA.
0 = HSUPA disabled (very slow upload)
1 = Stock HSUPA enabled and capped (slow upload)
2 = HSUPA enabled but capped (good upload)
3 = HSUPA enabled and uncapped (best upload)
Q6: Does this phone support overclocking? I feel that I'm not getting the most out of this phone :/
A6: Yes this phone does support overclocking. The kernel by ardatdat should be in the Development section. It even supports undervolting to save battery!
Q7: Why is there a yellow triangle below "Samsung Galaxy R GT-i9103" on boot?
A7: That's because you probably flashed a non-stock kernel through Odin3. Try reflashing a stock ROM and use CWM to flash the phone next time.....
cooleagle and I will add more info to come
Guides:
Guide 1: How to make use of ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for debugging and testing
By now, you all should've known that Android makes mistakes. Actually, not just Android. EVERYONE makes mistakes. Well, for this case it's something going wrong with a game, or just something wrong with a ROM.
The developers @ Google were smart enough to make this logging binary called
Code:
logcat
and it logs everything going on inside Android, from bootup, to dexopt, basic processes and even to shutting down!
There are 2 ways of accessing Android's logcat:
WAY #1: Using Terminal Emulator
Requirements:
A working phone that boots
Rooted with Superuser
Advantages:
It allows debugging without a computer, unlike the 2nd way.
Terminal Emulator is easily downloadable from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..
Disadvantages:
It's harder to debug using the phone, especially if it is stuck at the bootanimation or splash screen.
Root is needed otherwise you will get
Code:
logcat: permission denied
in the terminal
Steps:
Download Terminal Emulator from Google Play or the link above
Once you've entered it, type in
Code:
su
using the virtual keyboard
Allow it in the Superuser prompt
Then go ahead and type
Code:
logcat
, you will see a bunch of crazy things.
If you want to save a log, do:
Code:
logcat > /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt
WAY #2: Using Windows/Ubuntu for logcat using the Android SDK (Software Development Kit)
Requirements:
A computer running Windows/Linux or other distros
The Android SDK must be installed: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Android USB cable (for connecting the phone to the computer)
An Internet connection
Advantages:
Allows debugging using the computer for more accurate findings
Allows logging much better than the method in Terminal Emulator
Ubuntu allows live copy/paste in its Terminal so there is no need to save a log.txt file
Disadvantages:
It uses the Internet to download the required packages
You need a USB cable to connect the phone
If the USB cable/port is malfunctioning logcat will not work
This is more complex than the phone method as it requires you to set a path in Windows's environment and in Ubuntu's .bashrc if you want to be able to use it in the Terminal/Command Prompt at any time.
Steps for Windows:
Launch the Android SDK Manager in
Code:
32-bit Windows:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe
64-bit Windows:
C:\Program Files(x86\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe
Wait for it to finishing loading all the repositories
Install the Android SDK platform-tools and let it finish its install
You have now installed the Android SDK's Platform Tools, which is in
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
and it contains the Android Debug Bridge (adb.exe), which fits this description:
The adb tool has moved to platform-tools.
If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
Please also update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can execute adb from any location.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To test whether adb will work, run Command Prompt and go to the folder described above , respective for 32 and 64-bit.
Run:
Code:
adb logcat
and if it works, the same crazy code will be there

Update Facebook & Twitter status.
Open any app.
Record your voice.
Checking your schedule.
Q. I can’t get a proper figure for my 3G/2G data usage on my network using any app from the market or elsewhere!
Yes it’s a known issue for devices on stock kernel. It can be solved by using ardatdat’s kernel as it has a fix for that or wait hoping that Samsung solves it in the next update.
Q. Does Galaxy R have any freebie Apps & Games from Samsung?
Yes it does ! There are so many available just go to Samsung Apps(Application) in your Galaxy R to get the full list. Specifically Modern Combat 3(by Gameloft) & Dead Space(by EA) are available for free.
Q. Can I retrieve my Galaxy R & protect my personal data if God forbid it’s lost?
Yes, you can but it depends on many variable factors to get a lock and use all the available features. It natively supports it by using Samsung Dive to:
Track your mobile.
Ring your mobile.
Send an SMS if the SIM is changed to a pre-defined number.
Erase all your Personal Data on the mobile.
Q. My Galaxy R has freezed/hanged ( It’s mostly due your antics or some app specific bug and not due to the device’s fault as it normally does not hang even on heavy usage ) What to do?
Hold the power button for more than 7 secs and it should automatically restart.
Q. Can I flash Custom ROMs?
Yes you can use Odin or ClockWorkMod(CWM) to flash them but beware you can lose your warranty.
Q. Does flashing increment my counter?
Yes & No. Wondering how both are possible? If you flash using Odin then it increments your counter but if you flash using CWM packages it doesn’t, so it depends on the method you use. But flashing a rooted / custom kernel will increase your counter even if you flash it using CWM.
Q. My device is DEAD & shows APX mode driver required on connecting to my PC! What to do?
You are lucky! Here’s a solution to it. Head to => LINK
Q. My device is not being detected on being connected to my PC but I can charge it via the wall / normal charger ! What to do?
First of all check if you have the latest Samsung Kies software installed as it also installs the latest Samsung USB drivers along with it which are required to connect your device to the PC. If they are installed & still your PC doesn't detect the device then you probably have corrupted drivers. To resolve this follow these steps: Uninstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers currently installed => Restart your PC => Reinstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers.
Q. I can't charge my device & my device is not being detected after connecting to my PC & Odin is not detecting my device ! What to do?
(The solution is valid only if you are experiencing all of the above conditions simultaneously)
Checkout this thread which could help you: => [Partial Fix] Galaxy R not getting detected on PC nor charging via a charger.
Q. I didn't backup my /efs folder and my IMEI is messed up ! Is there any way I could recover my IMEI number ?
There is a GUIDE to recover your IMEI for Samsung Galaxy S2, as being from the same manufacturer there is a chance that it may work but there is not guarantee that it'll work, you are going to use it completely at your own risk (it may hard brick your handset). I am not aware if any member was able to recover Galaxy R's IMEI using this method.
So if you willing to take the risk then Head To => Thread & do tell us if were successful in recovering your IMEI by following a particular procedure.

GALAXY R KNOWN BUGS & SOLUTIONS:
3G / 2G Mobile Data count applications don't function correctly.
Can be solved by using a custom kernel which has this bug fixed.
Date & Time of the handset changes randomly even when it's set to update automatically according to the network.
Go to Settings => Date & Time => Uncheck & then Recheck 'Automatic' to re-sync with your carrier's / service provider's time & date. No known solution which permanently resolves the issue.
The person at the other end can't hear you at all / Headset Jack bug
Sometimes after unplugging your headset you experience problems while making a call, usually a reboot solves the problem but sometimes it doesn't. It can be identified by the following symptoms: When you're making a call, the person at the other end can't hear your voice but you can hear them clearly / you pick up the call then you can't hear any voice & the person can't hear you either.
It's most probably a software bug as the handset thinks the headset is still attached to the handset & routes the call as if it were being made when a headset would have been connected. But in some cases it could also be due to a hardware problem i.e a faulty 3.5mm headset jack.
To confirm if this is the problem you are facing:
- Plug in Samsung's headset & make a call to check if you can communicate / talk with the person at the other end normally & without any problem.
- If you can talk normally then it's confirmed that it's due to a software bug if not then it could be due faulty 3.5 mm jack.
To resolve it:
- Update your firmware to the latest version available even though it may not be for your region as it could have possible fixes. i.e (ZSLE5 / ZSLE6 / Latest firmware of any region)
- Plug in & out the headset a couple of times while playing music till it gets resolved i.e when the firmware understands that the headset has been removed & then it'll work normally.
- You can also take it to a service center where they could replace the headphone jack & may also reflash the stock firmware which should resolve the problem if it's due to a faulty 3.5mm headset jack.

Thanks I'll update it in the FAQ but it'll be only Titanium specific.
But if there's a universal method for all the ROMs and even on rooted stock it would be more helpful.
Capturing screen shot.
Hi,
We can capture the screen by pressing power and home button at a time, can you please add this.

Possible reasons
1) Your camera shutter sound is silent
2) There's a setting which allows silencing of camera shutter
3) Build.prop tweak

the shutter volume changes with the system volume in the sound setting.
OR
u can rename/delet "Shutter_01.ogg" to get rid of the shutter sound
but i cannot find the focus lock sound, that must b with Camera.apk or something...
Right, I wanted to start this thread for people whose phones are not the best (like my Sony Xperia Tipo). These tips will boost up your phone and you will notice the difference right away! I used to have lag spikes and performance dropping issues on my Tipo, and now they're gone!
WARNING: Some of these steps may include voiding your warranity or bricking your phone. So you are gonna try these by your own risk. I do not take any responsibility if anything happens to it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Requirements:
1) Your phone must be rooted. If not, google it. In most cases, you can use Unlock Root tool, which works for most devices. You can get it from here: http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
2) Some time and patience
The tips:
1) Download SetCPU app from the playstore. This app allows you to set maximum / minimum processor state and also overclock your phone (not recommended).
2) Download Advanced Task Killer from playstore. This app can kill all the apps that are running in the foreground / background.
3) Download a root file explorer / browser also from the playstore. You can use ES File Explorer, Root Browser and many more apps. Then navigate to /system/app folder and set permissions to rw, or check every box in the permissions properties (depending on the app). You can now delete any useless system apps that came by default with your phone, such as: Recommender, or Xperia Gallery etc. NOTE: If you are not sure about which apps to delete, skip this step or delete those which you know are useless.
4) Remove any widgets from your homescreen. Widgets are basically little apps running in the background using a big / small amount of RAM (depending on the widget). When you remove then, do a reboot, and then they won't be running anymore.
5) Turn off WiFi / GPS / 3G when you don't need it. Belive it or not, this also slows down your phone. So if you are not using any of them, disable them or enter Airplane Mode.
Do these right, and your phone should be now faster. Feel free to ask any questions below!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE BY IMPLEMENTING THIS MODIFICATION!!
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW TWEAK I HAVE IMPLEMENTED ON A DEVICE I DO NOT USE AS A DAILY DRIVER. I HAVE ONLY BEEN USING THIS ARISTO AS A TEST FOR 4 DAYS WITH THIS MOD IN PLACE (AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING). I DO NOT KNOW HOW STABLE THIS IS, OR IF ANYTHING WILL RANDOMLY KNOCK OUT MY TWEAKS, BUT SO FAR SO GOOD. BUT . . . . ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOUR MILAGE MAY VARY!! PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TWEAK SO WE CAN IMPROVE ON IT'S STABILITY!!
So here's the story . . . .
My girlfriend got a free LG Aristo from MetroPCS when she switched carriers, which was a damn good deal IMHO. After using it for a month or so, she's pretty happy with it, aside from the usual gripes that come with low-midrange devices. I repair phones and computers for a living so I wanted to tinker with it and see what, if anything, could be done to give it that little bit of extra 'oomph' in performance, battery life, etc. Since it's her only device I didn't wanna risk depriving her of her phone if anything went sideways, so I kept my eyes open for an Aristo to pop up, and the other day, one did! One of my clients texted me asking if I wanted to buy a broken Aristo for parts, and considering the only thing wrong with it is a cracked screen, I jumped on it.
So, now that I have the guinea pig Aristo to play with, I did a quick search to see what kind of dev community this device had here, and on XDA. I stumbled accross this post with a working TWRP v3 (BTW, mad props to messi2050 for the TWRP v3, no-verity-opt-encrypt script link, and tutorial! MANY THANKS!).
I was a little surprised that the Aristo has an easily unlockable bootloader, so I give credit to LG for giving folks the option to do what they want with THEIR device.
With the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, I went ahead and formatted the /data partition to disable encryption (AFTER MAKING A NANDROID OF CORSE!!). After rebooting back into TWRP, I transfered the no-verity-opt-encrypt script and Magisk v13.2 and flashed them (IN THAT ORDER).
Magisk was a must since my girl plays Super Mario Run, and a few other games/apps that check Safety Net, and I'm happy to report that with Magisk v13.2 installed, Safety Net passes without issue.
Now comes the issue of LG underclocking the Snapdragon 425. Looking at it from LG's perspective, I understand the logic behind this implementation; a lower max_freq is definitely gonna give you a bit of extra battery life, and since low-midrange devices like the Aristo are unlikely to be used for anything more than calling/SMS/MMS, web browsing, YouTube, and light gaming, they probably figured that that bit of extra performance wouldn't be missed by most people buying this device.
The Snapdragon 425 has a max CPU clock speed rated at 1.4GHz, however, the LG Aristo tops out at 1.25GHz (1.248GHz). Using flar2's EX Kernel Manager (I use ElementalX on ALL of my other devices, but his kernel manager app works with ANY kernel), I couldn't get the max-freq to stick at 1401MHz. Strangely, it would max out at either 1248MHz, or 1094MHz, and even setting it to apply on boot proved futile. Then, I noticed that the frequency range in CPU-Z was '960MHz - 1.25MHz', so then I headed for the source:
/sys/devices/system/cpu
In this folder you will see the following folders:
cpu0
cpu1
cpu2
cpu3
Interestingly enough, the max rated frequency of '1401000' is listed in the 'scaling_available_frequencies' file of each core, meaning that specific frequency can be controlled by the kernel (CPU governor) if directed via each core's 'cpuinfo_max_freq' file.
(NOTE: This guide will walk you through changing the max_freq only for cpu0, however, the method for cpu0 is identical for cpu1, cpu2, and cpu3, so just repeat the steps for each cpu core)
Step 1.) Open the folder 'cpu0' [/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0]
Step 2.) Inside the 'cpu0' folder, find the folder 'cpufreq' [/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq]
Step 3.) Inside the 'cpufreq' folder, find the file 'cpuinfo_max_freq' [/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq]
Step 4.) Open it with a text editor (I am using Solid File Explorer w/ Root add-on which has a built in text editor, but ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, etc. all have built in text editors)
Step 5.) Change the value from '1248000' to '1401000' (WITHOUT ' ' MARKS OF COURSE!!)
Step 6.) Save the file after making the changes.
Step 7.) Repeat the above steps for the remaining 3 A53 cores. If you need to follow the guide for each core, just change the 'cpu0' in STEP 1 to 'cpu1', then 'cpu2', etc.
Step 8.) After making the changes to each core and saving your edits, exit out of your file manager and reboot (Now, if you go back to look at your edit after saving the cpuinfo_max_freq, it will appear as if your edit did not stick, but trust me, it will stick when you reboot).
Step 9.) After rebooting, open your root file explorer and check the edits you made to each core's 'cpuinfo_max_freq' file. They should now all read '1401000'.
Step 10.) Open your preferred kernel editor/auditor app and change the max frequency to 1401MHz, and this time it will stick. If it does not stick, simply change your CPU governor to 'Performance', then set the max to 1401MHz and that should make it stick. After that, close your kernel tweaking app and open CPU-Z or some other app that shows the current CPU frequency and check that it's locked at 1401MHz. Once you see that it's locked at 1401MHz, go back into your kernel tweaking app and change the governor back to your desired setting (I'm using Interactive), then check to see that the CPU max frequency is still locked at 1401MHz.
Step 11.) DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR KERNEL EDITOR/AUDITOR TO APPLY THE CHANGES ON BOOT!! For some reason, if you don't set on boot it will randomly change the max speed between 1094MHz and 1248MHz.
Step 12.) PROFIT!!
NOTES:
- Solid File Explorer automatically mounts /system -rw when you open it. I'm not sure about other root file explorers, so make sure you mount /system -rw or your edits will not save/stick
- This is a relatively new tweak, so if anyone can expand on what I've covered here, please do!!
It won't let me save the edited text
Nice work!!! Also looking at the LG. K20 as well as the LG Tp450(Stylo 3+). I am curious to see if LG intentionally underclocks all...or at least the only ones this poor bastard can afford...LoL
Doesn't seem to work for me. Max CPU frequency frozen at 960 MHz ?
Introduction:
This will remove the performance throttling of our S8 when using it heavily (gaming, movie streaming, or any demanding stuff we do on our phone). Oh and benchmarks also. There has been numerous threads of disabling DVFS from previous Exynos phones such as Note and Galaxy S4 and so on...
Note: This tweak will not INCREASE your phone's performance as is, but to remove limiting factor such as heat when it comes to heavy usage of phone. Removing throttling could cause too much heat to your phone or worse.... could cause device and physical harm to you. Be cautious and be warned when using this. I'm not responsible for any damages that this tweak would do to you.
Verdict: Heat generated was acceptable, but this depends on every users with different setups/installed apps on their phone/usages.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Galaxy S8 Exynos (this could work probably in S8+/Note 8 Exynos variant????)
2. Kernel Adiuotor (preferred) or any tool that has Init.d support.
Steps:
1. Download Kernel Adiutor from Playstore.
2. Open the app and go to Menu > Tools > Init.d.
3. Toggle the Init.d to enable script at boot.
4. Click "+" button and name it anything you want then click ok.
5. The editor will open, now copy and paste this script in the editor.
#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 0000 /sys/devices/14ac0000.mali/dvfs
chmod 0000 /sys/devices/14ac0000.mali/dvfs_max_lock
chmod 0000 /sys/devices/14ac0000.mali/dvfs_min_lock
6. Then click save button.
Now you can click the script and execute it or reboot to check if the script has been executed.
To check if the script is executed you may use Root Explorer Paid version and go to this directory,
/sys/devices/14ac0000.mali/
and look for dvfs file, if you see that the permission is --- or blank, that means the script has been applied.
Let me know if this works for you all.
Benchmarks are nothing but tbh, it will show if throttling affects the result. I haven't captured the 1st result but I got 130kish when he devices was 50~60°C.
I run the script and quickly rerun Antutu again. See attached image below.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway
Your choice.
Will this also work on my s9+. On my s8 it works like a charm.
How to remove if this one is applied?
Just reboot ur phone
This is like to remove rev. limiter. Engine gone to blowww.
It work s7
Tank you . Now it give a life on my divice . No down clock aft few min on gaming . Happy .
can I do this with adb as well? I just purchased the S10+ ( exynos ofc) and I dont want to root it, not because I cant but if want to sell it some buyers will not be interested without no google pay, netflix , samsung pay etc. If I can do this with a adb command I would really like to know.
I think this disables GPU Throttling only not CPU right?.. Does anyone knows a way to disable the CPU Throttling? Im running a custom kernel on S7 FLAT EXYNOS Overclocked to 2600MHZ but after 2 minutes frequency drops to 2394MHZ Due to cpu throttle.
Edit: I dont care about the battery i just want a gaming phone and i know the risks.
