Custom Kernel influence the mobile reception / Radio - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey !
Just wanted to know, if a Custom Kernel can influence the mobile reception / radio - modem of the HTC One ?

no

really?

I think it's possible. You can feel it ie. when you choose powersave governor and the lowest frequency available for max. frequency when screen is off. Turn the screen off and call yourself. There's a long(er) delay until the GUI shows for the incoming call. Governor is part of the kernel. Frequencies are also a kernel job.
With a kernel malfunction almost anything can go wrong. The radio receiving a call does not mean your phone will let you answer it.
Just my 2 cents...

[Q] Call volume is low

Hey, I'm using Phoenix unleashed js8 with speed mod and baseband version i9000ugjk4. When I dial it' ringing and after few seconds them volume drops and become even lower then the original in call volume that isn't so high any way. It started bothering me when I first talked in a crowded place and didn't hear good.
I heard something about modems but didn't really understand it.
I'm living in Israel and my carrier supports 850/2100 UMTS (No GSM for 2g bands) and that's why I bought the cappy.
I have two questions:
1. How can I increase the volume of the in call volume?
2. How can I know if my phone is using both 850 and 2100 bands?
And a little question on the way..
How much time will it take until the roms and kernels of GB will be as stable and fast as the froyo roms?
Thank in advance, Elad!
anyone? :S

1. I've noticed the same thing with call volume. I often have to switch to speakerphone to hear in crowded locations. I know that's not really a solution, but it's a temporary workaround for me. I'm not sure if there is any actual way to increase in-call volume.
As for stability and speed of GB ROMs: I recently made the upgrade (was running JS8-base OCed to 1.4GHz) to Mosaic II and can tell you that the speed and responsiveness of my Captivate has drastically increased (despite now only being at stock 1GHz). I think now is a good time to make the switch.
Try a kb1 kernel and modem, that has the support for the audience chip that all I9000 kernel/modems don't have, because it's a different chip in the I9000 than it is with the captivate...

What is a kb1 kernel? the kernel I'm using now isn't for i897?
It is but it was ported and reoriented from the I9000 to work for the captivate. That was done because att drags there asses with updates, froyo came out in europe and canada months before att.
Kb1 is at&t's version it has the drivers for the audience chip I mentioned. Look in the dev section for kernels, it'll say kb1 next to it there should be a couple ... You will also need to flash a modem to match or you will have major sound issues.
here are 2 kernels for kb1:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988805
and:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989298
now look in this thread it has a modem for the I897(kb1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989298
once you have a kernel and the modem flashed your sound quality should improve...
Oh and as far as gb goes it's the same thing I mentioned about froyo, not ever gonna be released by att, but it came out for the I9000 last month, and the reoriented kernels for it are pretty stable. the roms based on those kernels are fairly stable as well, my personal fave is mosaic but I'm biassed because I'm part of the team
haha, Phoenix is the best, I enjoy every second of using this rom!
I think I will stay with this modem and kernel because it really give me great perfomence. I will live with this volume
As for the GB, I think I will give it more time and wait for the kernels to have lag fix and to be more stable. My next phone won't be AT&T's, that's for sure.
Thank you both I appreciate your help!

Overclocking

Hello,
I'd like to overclock my Incredible S, but I've never done this before so maybe someone here can help me?
I'm using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424260
And they recommend this for overclocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207546
Just to know, what are good values to overclock to? And does it drain the battery a lot faster or not?
They implemented overclocking settings in there ROM. So you dont need that app. Just go into settings - performance and play
I wouldent recommend clocking over 1.5Ghz. And to be honest I cant see any reason to go over that.
I have my clock speed at 1.4 and can play, surf and watch youtube clips etc. and still have about 40% after about 15h. Normal use I could probably keep the battery for 20-24 h.

choosed ondemand profile,But it didnt changed the clock freq, but backlights button went off. guess it will be fixed on the future.

The profiles won't change the frequency it just changes the way your cpureacts to different situations such as screen off and high performance demand. The search Google "Android governor profiles explained"

[Q] Overclocking help :)

Hey guys i am currently using CM7 kittenlinux base (in fact autoradios cm7 light ics modded)
I just want to know which is a safe overclocking frequency for the mini. I plan to use 710hz but u guys tell me =)
Thank you.
Each phone have not same. ...not every phone stable in the same MHz like i am not stable in800MHz...but someone is stable..so try it by urself...and dont overclock too much...waste battery
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA
i always use 729-748 as max cpu frequency and the lowest frequency as min cpu frequency... as governor i use ondemand or lilgV2... for me works fine but you should find your own configuration because it depends from the use you mean to do with your device... for example if you use you phon for gaming so you need high freqency for lagless gaming experience but a governor and a shleuder that make long battery life... try by yourself xD
For maximum freq 710, for minimum freq 245 (less chance of hanging when waking device) and governor smartassv2. That's how I roll

[Q] How do I overclock my phone?

Hello people! I just succeded with rooting my LG Optimus 4X HD :victory: And the reason I did that was to increase the performance on my phone, but I couldn't find any good apps for that. I want suggestions about apps that can overclock EVERY CORE and not just a single one, please respond as soon as possible

have u done any overclocking in your whole life ? ...
you cant overclock from settings only one core. to overclock only one core u have to do a surgery to the cpu chip........
u cant overlock if the kernel does not support it. stock rom limit is 1500

Dude I just rooted my phone like 2 days ago so don't excpect me to be a pro at these stuff xD (I am a noob) But you didn't really answer my question tho :s
First,You need to install a kernel that supports overclocking, and after that you can use app like trickstermod or tegra overclock. But i would strongly suggest you to read more about rom,kernel,recovery etc. before asking such questions.

the phone doesnt have to do anything with the procedure u can overclock anything. from just a coffee machine to a kitchen , from a pc to a phone !! if a cpu has more than one core, u cant just overclock only one of them. I answered i told u the limit of the stock rom and kernel is 1500. u cant overclock. u must have a custom kernel that can support overclocking.
that means u need to unlock bootloader and flash at least a custom kernel if not a whole rom.
<<EDIT>> and just for the knowledge ! take for example samsung s3. it has a lower cpu frequency but the phone is little faster than our optimus. overclocking isnt only about rising the frequency. u can also overclock by slightly giving more voltage and faster correspondence. u have to read a lot to understand how it works. for example a mistake can make u have a slow 1700 cpu but a fast 1200 cpu. read read read read

I get it now, but I think I asked the question in a wrong way so let me tell you again how I was ACTUALLY thinking. What I want is to enable EVERY single core and make them have 1.5 GHz speed. How can I do that?

set governor to performance, set cpuquiet to userspace. you need trickstermod app & custom kernel in order to tune this.

And watch your battery drain in under an hour.
What have you been doing to actually have a point that you have thought a quad core 1.5ghz phone needs overclocking?

your cores are already at 1500. to set a perfomance governor to make them run permanently at 1500 will cause u a huge battery drain and cpu overheat. when u will go play a game the heat will enable automatically the cpu to rest so u will have actually around 1000 mhz speed. the cpu HAS to rest. the phones dont have many big fans inside to cool the board and the cpu. thats why people prefer ondemand governor usually. the cpu rests until the 1st core go to 90% usage or more and then the other cores are enabled too. when the cpu usage go below 90% one core is working again and when there isnt any need for cpu usage , the core goes down to 102 mhz.
overclocking
before you get your phone overclocked you should but in consideration that you may break your phone..over heating .... battery consumption.. don't look for performance alone >> you cant get performance with out battery drain or over heating >> just thing before you do that
You should look at how often cores 3&4 are even active. It's very rarely on my Nexus

ah c'mon he cant destroy the phone even if he wanted to. its not like he has the knowledge to decompile the kernel , change the proccessor limit to over 1700 and recompile it. so his limit is 1700 of iodak and werewolf and mokee. the thing is to understand how overclock works. he will figure it out eventually.

for the developers that know what to do , max for our phone is 1700. originally the safe overclocking at any cpu since many many years , is around 20%. after that it needs cooler. the better the cooler the more u can overclock.
Hi, trickster show me that my phone don't use the 1700 MHz. Y?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Probably it is not overclocked.
The stock higher operating frequency of p880 is 1500 MHz, and that is what your trickster diagram is showing.
So. Either your phone is notoverclocked, or in whatever kernel you are using maximum frequency is set to 1500 MHz.

Ehm, i have iodak v08 cm10.1.3 and cwm6.0.4.4
I'll check how to overclock the CPU.
May some one also look for a how-to if i don't find anything for overclocking my CPU
Thanks and kind regards

(Q) CPU controller

I just got an m7 and I'm trying to figure out how to control the other CPU frequencies. I know on my old s3 I could just run echo them through a script but on here the only CPU with the cpufreq folder is cpu0, I can't seem to find anything on it so does anyone know how to do this?

If you're rooted, you can install a custom kernel like elemetal IX, this will allow you to set max frequency for each core. Just make sure you're using a compatible ROM, like ARHD. If you're looking for something that will allow on the fly adjustment, I'll have to find something else.

yeah with newer HTC devices you can't change freqs on the fly on stock kernel, because HTC have daemons and stuff to boost CPU and it will always reset it to stock 384-1728MHz
Either you need a kernel with pnpmgr (poewr and performance manager) ndisabled, freqs limited in the kernel source or one with aroma max freq choice

I hate to ask because I could find it myself but do you happen to know of a few other kernels that supports all core control or one you recommend? Elemental x is over a month dated and doesn't have a lot of useful extra governors imo. I'm running android revolution. So far the threads I've checked either don't mention they support it or just don't.

Extra governors are not needed since on demand does the job well, its like a hybrid interactive/ondemand though how it has post freqs etc
I'd recommend elemental, bulletproof, kangaroo (coughcough)
Imo limiting freq doesn't do much for battery.. But you can use power saver mode to limit to 1134mhz and its still super smooth
Extra bells and whistles are not needed and are buzzwords

Haha didn't see you were the Dev, I'll give it a run for awhile. And I just mostly don't like how the phone heats up when running at the higher frequencies/voltages but I know on my last phone limiting the CPU speeds seemed to have helped a lot. Overall I'd just rather have longer battery life over performance any day.
