[Q] setcpu or voltage control - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I previously used setcpu but after recommendation for voltage control app in Siyah thread I started using it but it doesn't seem to remember my settings after reboot even after upgrading to latest version of voltage control extreme. I want to ask is there any reason that voltage control is better than setcpu?

Are you sure you saved the profile and boot settings?

Fix the settings that you want. It will ask you to apply changes or discard. click on apply. then press menu button and you will have three options...you should choose save on boot. press that and then come out. reboot your phone. wait for the phone to reboot and then load up for a few minutes. go back into voltage control and all your settings will be saved. let me know how you get on

in the folder system/etc/init.d There are other scripts that block the script Voltage Control. I cleared the folder and began to work.

Then you deleted scripts of kernel and your rom. Do you leave vc to load up upon boot before you go into it

Voltage Control is better.. you can customize almost everything with nice interface and easy to use.. regarding the setting, yes, you should hit menu -> select save as boot settings..

Siyah

Im on wicked rom and siyah 2.6.6 do i need to flash anything else on to it. I heard people talk about battery scripts and all that. And changing the voltage and im not sure if im suppose to flash on a script or something. If there is something i need to flash then someone let me know. I just want a good battery thats why i choose siyah so maybe this script stuff is good. Plus theres not one theres mutiple scripts so then which one. Its all very confusing to me :? Soneone enlighten me please

Ask in the Siyah thread in the development section.
No you don't need cuz in version 2.6.3 we see
removed siyah-battery, siyah-defaults and siyah-performance scripts from the blog. please remove all existing scripts before installing this version (or flash your existing rom again to remove all scripts). use init.d scripts if you know what you do, otherwise use VoltageControl app or ThunderBolt! scripts. use this CWM recovery flashable zip to remove previous 01siyah script. just flash it once and /system/etc/init.d/01siyah script will be removed.

and for 2.6.6 you don't need zip for battery.
The scripts people are talking about are pikcahu's thunderbolt! scripts, you dont need to flash them if you dont want to, they can help, but performance/batt are good at stock values.
(Part of thunderbolt! is built into the kernel anyway)
Thanks guys so i should leave it at wat its at when i flashed 2.6.6

What do you want to change?
I would use voltage control myself, though with 2.6.6 it wont set max frequency correctly, that's supposed to be fixed next kernel version.
Well i use it to clock cpu lower at low battery and screen off

Yeh you can use setcpu to-do that, if you want! It wont hurt anything. Dont Undervolt to much or you may get instability.
By undervolt u mean underclocking right ?

No.. undervolting is lowering the voltage at each frequency step
Underclocking is lowering the max frequency.
eg setting the max to 1000mhz would be underclocking
setting 1000mhz to 1100mV would be undervolting (just an example)
I havent even touched voltage settings i have no exp in tht

Home buttons brightness levels

Is there a way to change the light levels for the touch capacitive buttons (Home, Menu, Back, Search)? My search button has ways been dimmer than the others ever since the first boot.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
open root explorer....
navigate to this directory...
/sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/
in that directory there is a system file named "currents"... long press that file, edit, change value to 20, save and exit.
your brightness should be adjusted to max on your LED buttons. you can adjust that value from 0-20... 0 being off.
Use leedroid tweaks and set them on-the-fly.
If I use LeeDroid's tweaks will it change whenever I flash to a new ROM?

actually, flashing a new ROM will completely get rid of lee droid tweeks... unless the new ROM includes it.
and no, it won't stick. touch keys are controlled at the kernel level unless modified after boot. kernel = power output/management in android
Then why is only the Back button dim compared to the others? This should've been corrected whenever I flashed the first ROM a couple days ago. It's been like this since I got the phone back in August.

Use keyboard backlight controller, free from the market. Problem solved.

I was just about to say the same thing, if you get the Kernel Tuner app you can change that, plus a whole bunch of other stuff
I'm gettng the same results with kernel tuner as when editing in Root ex. Lights do turn on but stay on even after locking screen.

Make your own. It's painfully easy if you follow the directions. Also, telling us what your setup was would be quite helpful.

Phone goes to Negative Colors automatically?

Hi ...
In last couple of days my SGSIII went to negative colors automatically without even touching that option and I had to reverse the colors manually to get original colors back.. I am not sure what could be the problem nor have any idea about why it's happening.
I haven't installed any such app that will do that or so..
So can anyone suggest me what to look for as I already factory reset it too but to no available..
P.S. - It only changed for three times and not more.. Also while talking there was some sweat on the glass, could that be a reason though it didn't changed it's colors at that moment but later..
Thanks.
Funnily enough this happend to me today. V. strange

on Android 5.0.2 there is an option where you enable (and disable) negative colors by clicking 3 times the cetral button I was looking for a week what made my phone (samsung A3) turn on the negative colors. So, the easiest way is to go to settings and search for "negative colors", Its hard to explain where becouse my phone is on greek language but there are two options you have to uncheck in "Accessibilities". One option to turn on/of the negative colors and the other to turn off the option clicking 3 times the central button. Hope that is uderstude and helpfull
update: (ok found it in english)
go to "Settings", then "Accessibility" and tap on "Direct Access"
i got same issue on my samsung galavy V, but there is no 'negative color' button on my accesibility
can someone help me?

Need kernel help with Infection 2.9.1

I'm on Infection 2.9.1 and I also flashed the latest Hiro kernel. I downloaded Trickster MOD to change settings. I'm getting a lot of reboots but I'm also trying to save as much battery as possible. I have no idea what settings to mess with and what to change them too. My phone settings had a Performance settings where you can change CPU settings and I also have Trickster like I said, just don't know which to use. I think both are on which might be causing problems? I posted some screenshots, could some please help me get something going? - Thanks guys!

Oh, and "set on boot" means its turned on, correct?
If your using a kernel app like trickster mod than make sure everything that says set on boot under system\performance is unchecked

OK I got that part but what settings should I use? I'm not good with kernels and these apps, changing voltages, etc. My phone has been overheating and boot looping a lot. I also want to get best battery life possible. I just don't know what settings to use. Also if I'm using trickster to tweak my CPU shouldn't the performance in my phone settings be shut off? I'm open to using another tuner app.

Make the sleep frequency be 384 (whatever the 300 MHz is) been running that way since launch of 2.9.1, no issues, besides the native tether (only buggy issue I use) and whatever else others reported, I assume. Never used the features that this report so I don't know.

There is an option in kernel tuner for it. Some kernels do not support changing that setting though.
Now that he released it, this is what I used on infection the past week when 2.9.1 came out. It works amazingly. On install it gives you options for sleep 2 wake and screen off frequency (I set mine to on and 384 with no adverse issues)

So this kernel will replace Hiro which I'm using now?
And you keep saying to change sleep freq to 384? I'm guessing that will fix my wake issues. What about fixing my battery life and boot loops?
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else chime in? This is what I'm trying to accomplish.
1. Fix boot loops
2. Stop the over heating
3. Make battery last as long as possible
4. Fix the wake up issues. When I press power button to wake phone the capacitive buttons turn on but the screen doesn't.
These are the issues that I'm trying to fix. Like I said I'm currently on infection 2.9.1 using lastest hiro kernel. I need some helping finding the right kernel to use and what settings to use with kernel tuner or trickster mod app doesn't matter.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
That kernel will replace hiro. You can set screen off freq upon flashing in recovery. The below pictures is my current settings for the past week and only had one freeze (it was testing something out for the kernel before released). In the picture, screen off and idle freq are disabled as you change settings when flashing the kernel. (During install, aroma will ask if you want to do default or custom install, custom for more options.) Pictures are in thumb format so less space is used in the forum.

You can change second core to something else. Lionheart is a performance based governor. I use it on second core with mpdecision having a longer wait to turn on core 1 for my personal optimal battery saving/performance. Core 0 is set for power save bias so only when I need speed, core 1 will kick on with some higher MHz while CPU 0 catches up a little later.
Battery savings isn't too great, but unless you are doing some CPU intensive stuff, it does pretty well on battery.
This is CPU times today... Mind you, I used my phone for a total of 4hrs from 530-1640. The reason it stayed at 192 a lot was because I just did texting, web browsing and some other low CPU intensive tasks so far today (about 20-30mins of awake time in 192 was screen off streaming a local radio station.) Ran buttery smooth though.
