[Q] I Can't Undervolt my phone! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't really know why but somehow i can't undervolt my phone and i'm running voodoo advanced 666.2 which supports OC/UV and Darky's rom v 9.2. Been googling around finding no answer

Have you got the apps 'setCPU' and 'Voltage control' ???

Yes but they don't work have also tried cpu tuner doesn't work either

when you open up voltage control does it say you have an incompatible kernel, head over to XDA to get one ??

kernel and rom pairing question

im on di11igafs 5.2 newest rom with Firebirds newest kernel flashed. I want to switch to SetrioNs kernel here for some good overclocking. I am unsure which to use and what the difference between his normal and XT versions are. i tried flashing the newest 1.6ghz XT SetrioNs but it freaked out my phone even in recovery menu after 20 seconds it would freeze up after about 20 seconds. Do i need to disable the lagfix in the recovery menu and or something else first? any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

Your phone is not going to do 1600 no matter how hard you try.

Thats not what I asked about nor did I try to set it at 1.6 ghz. The phone wouldnt even boot long enough for me to change the voltage control settings. So I suppose i should rephrase my question so I dont get another answer like this one. I would like to use SetrioNs kernel, im using Firebirds kernel right now. Are there any steps i need to take in order to properly flash setrions kernel so that i dont have the problems I had previously?

Party pooper.
I know right? Woot woot.
Ok, sorry man. Honestly I would suggest downloading the Paragon rom and yanking the kernel out of that. It is much more up to date and allows oc.as high as 1.6. I have used that one without issue. Haven't tried setirons in quite a while so I don't know what may be going on.
Easiest way is to just put the rom zip in your sd card then use sgs kernel flashed app and select the rom zip. It will extract the kernel and flash it for you. Might want to disable lagfix first as sometimes problems occur when jumping back and forth between firebird and others.
Use voltage control 3.0 to control that kernel as well.

Ah! Thank You Thats exactly what i was looking for. I only have one question left. If i pull the kernel out of the rom will it be in .tar form? Thanks again
The kernel will be zimage. You can just copy that file straight to your sd card and the kernel flasher app will work with that as well.
Also it would seem that paragon is now using speedmods kernel. would you happen to be able upload the kernel you are using for me?

CPU control app and undervolting

Hello, I an using an Samsung galaxy mini plus device and I wonder wich is the best app for cpu control? I am using now setcpu 2.4 but I didn't how can I undevolt my phone. Wich app can do this and what are the best voltage that I can set?

UV = Kernel Support needed
Aaa, now I understand. Is here a "request section" in wich I can request to make such kernel? I don't find anyone untill now.

Make the kernel Yourself, cause rare people in here that using a Mini Plus.
Hmm, how? I don't have linux on my machine. Can I edit a kernel already make?
it can be done on your galaxy mini

Well, if you want get mess with Android, install Linux, recommended Ubuntu / Debian.
Edit, still need Linux trough you can do it in Windows, but you will get kernel problem while installing your kernel.

Cant figure out hard swap.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814311
Ive made the two partitions and tried flashing but i get a error on flashing
'file_getprop: failed to stat " /tmp/install/hardswap.prop': No such file or directory
E:Error in /External_sd/Hard-Swap-Yank555.lu_flasher-v1.0a.zip
could it be that im using speedy gonzalez kernal and it doesnt have swap support built in?
what am i doing wrong?
Well swapper 2 suffice?
there is no way to use it on this device as we dont have a kernel that has swap built into the kernel

Thank you is there any alternative such as swapper that could work?
my phone completely bricked............. I dont know how it wont turn on or anything first day using speedy gonazalez kernel perhaps this can be a warning for anyone who used 4.1 with speedy gonzalez I just bought the phone on craigslist too ... like a week ago worked fine without the speedy kernel I did change the maximum cpu frequency to 1300 if that matters but only on demand.

Battery?

Kernel without Logo2Wake and Logo2Menu

Hi,
so I'm currently running the Lunar-Kernel because I want to have more clockspeed-cteps, lower minimum clockspeed and voltage-controls so that I can undervolt the CPU slightly which saves a lot of battery.
I just realized that it has this stupid Logo2Wake and Logo2Menu-Feature that I don't need and now I want to know how I can disable those or if there is any kernel that supports those voltage and clockspeed-settings but doesn't have these Logo-Features.
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Stupid?!

Ok so because you don't need them, doesn't mean these are stupid features. Devs are working hard to bring those features users asked for. What is stupid imo is someone not searching the forum for something evident. maybe you should read those threads
Not a single kernel there that does what I describe above, except this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301543
But the download isn't available anymore.

You ca n undervolt and overclock/underclock with elementalx
you can chose what features you want when installing in aroma so you won't be stuck with logo2wake or logo2menu if you don't want them
Yes but it doesn't work with CM11

maybe you should have mentioned this in your op? :laugh:
TeaMSeven kernel for CM11. Why would you not want logo to menu? It is so handy but even if it was there you wouldn't have to ever touch it. Anyway, aroma lets you choose whether to install or not. Btw, my first post after I got my One was asking for a kernel for CM that DID have that feature and I got my a** busted!!
Sent from my GT-p511x
This kernel doesn't have AROMA-Options for all the features :/
I don't need the features and at first I didn't know that they were there, was really confused when the phone randomly woke up or a random menu popped up.
Anyone? :/

If you are looking for a kernel that suites your needs maybe you should look into building one yourself.

It means kernel didn't installed! Why? i did all things via aroma. Should i retry? Can u fouofure) figure out?
check about device in settings.. will show wat kernel installed.
incase of auto install failure, install two apks present in /res/app by root explorer.

Yes r4p0 was what i had.
but was it in the downloads that it's for unnamed rom?
a last question - 1.6 Ghz clock would be good om daily basis. Any harm to device? what to use?
Thanks.

If you don't undervolt then your phone will get too hot / use too much battery when overclocking (going to 1.6). It's best to test how high you can undervolt your phone before it starts to lag / freeze to find the optimal level of undervolting (e.g. my phone freezes at 40mv because of touchboost). If your phone refuses to boot after overclocking / undervolting then you can flash AGNi_reset_oc-uv_on_boot_failure.zip (found in /sdcard) to fix it.

so i did undervolt to - 30 and i dont use touch boost. but i fear about that boot problem.
