First of all I am sorry if this has been asked before.
I want to ask.
How do i know what frequency my phone can endure? I heard most of the phone are fine with 600+ but my friend has 700+ and it is still not having any problem. I once tried 714(or smth around there) and my phone froze.
So.
How do i know what frequency my phone can endure.
Just test them, thats the only way really, set the app you use to not set the freq on boot, if it freezes that's probably your limit.
Most phones can take up to 691, so Id say start at around 650.
Which app would you recommand me?
You can use SETCPU or OVERCLOCKING WIDGET (free) from market...
SetCPU is also free on xda (search for it) it has a lot more options than OC Widget.
Something that won't make my phone lag, but will still save battery? I'd also like to know some good advanced settings. Also, other ways to save battery would be appreciated. Aside from obvious (Turn off wifi when you're not using it, turn off 3g when you're not using it, etc)
I could say that the latest DSC 0.72 did a great job with the conservative mode, almost no lag, and you will surely get a better battery life than with ondemand mode.
Before this update, i used my phone with DSC with ondemand mode and my phone had a battery life of around 24 hours (depending on the amount of time spent on gaming).
Also you should Freeze Google Maps if you are not using it. You can easily do that using Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) or Gemini App Manager (free).
Also, if you are looking for a good software for setcpu, you could easily try AnTuTu CPU Master Free.
Hope this helps...
Everyone says to freeze google maps, but I don't have a problem with that... Mine's not constantly running, according to Battery Dr's task killer. As for Antutu, I don't understand why you brought it up, and I do not like Antutu. When I used it, when I had Streakdroid 1.9, it constantly changed values. And the free version (haven't tried paid) doesn't have profiles, like Setcpu.

Well, i don't use any task killer, so i chose to freeze Maps until i really need them, as on my device, they were always running.
As for Antutu, i like the interface, i don't use any profiles (if we exclude the profiles like ondemand, conservative, performance etc.), so i could say it's just a matter of taste. Use what you like and what you want, i just made a recommandation... As for the changing values, maybe you talk about the processor speed that constantly changes because of the profile (ex. conservative mode).
Didn't mean to offend anyone, i just wanted to help... hope this helps.
Actually what I meant was... When I'd set the max to 384, it would reset them 5 minutes later, to 768, or something else. It wouldn't stay at the value I set it at. And no offense taken.

the newest version of google map 6.0.3 doesn't seem to affect battery life (as long as you didn't turn on latitude for it)

Well, I have noticed that google maps 'runs' even if you don't have it open... In my opinion (with my use) it isn't enough to horribly drain the battery. My stock battery still lasts me all day. But yeah. Also, if anyone's using Alarmdroid, that drains the battery almost as much as wifi does.
I recently got android 4.0.4 for my phone. I used this link: http://www.arulraj.net/2012/07/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-5-to-ice-cream-sandwich.html The problem is that my phone is extremely slow and many apps just force close on start. How can i speed up my phone? I was researching this problem and many ppl said something about kernels. Should I get that for my phone and how will it help? Also, what apps help make it faster and what else can i do to make my phone faster?Btw the phone is rooted.

Don't touch the kernel if you are inexperienced in such things you will just screw the rom up... go into developement settings and overclock your cpu to 768mhz for a start. governer... smartass v2 should be fine. use a task manager to kill background apps etc. there are many things you can do but remember that 4.0 has higher requirements than our phone has so performance will always be an issue... if u want have a look into swap partitions, cpu overclocking, cpu governers, I/O Schedulers, Caching etc... there is so much to tweaking performance to get the most out of your device
When I stop apps that r running, they just come back within 5 seconds. Also, i am already at 768mhz. 768 mhz has made it a little faster, but some apps wont launch and just stop when i launch them. Is there a way to get them to work?

I really would suggest you change roms mate, either CyanogenMod 7.2 or 10.1
10.1 is Android 4.2 and 7.2 is 2.3.7
naturally 7.2 is fastest and most stable.
But why is it that some apps work and others dont?
How about increasing the ram? Can I do that?
Will this work? http://www.droidiser.com/2012/05/how-to-increase-internal-memory-and-ram.html

You cannot increase the RAM like in a computer as it is attached to the motherboard directly. That link describes using a swap partition on the sd that acts kind of like ram but it is not ram itself, it is slower than ram and less efficent however swap can be useful. I have tried swap and noticed no real difference in performance at all but you could sure try it... just remember to enable swap in the cyanogenmod settings otherwise the partition will do nothing and u lose valuable sd card space

i'm using CM7,should i use CM10 or MIUI or still using CM7?
sorry about my english
Use seeder app set to aggresive, no need to oc just set gov to performance. If you not use any ramscript use romtool box go to memory manager try optimum preset. And also go to sd booster to boost your sd speed cache.
That's all Regards

Honestly, make an effort to purchase a new phone. I've had a i5000 foir almost a year and sometimes I almost went crazy due to its slowness.
You can try using a (fast) sdcard as supplementary memory, but it will be still slow. And no way to use a CyanogenMod later than 7.2. Stick with this at minimum.
But you can find really good bargains at ebay. Please consider it.
Hello for all! :good:
Sorry my english...:cyclops:
Well, i have a low cost tablet, less of 100 bucks, AOC MID 7y2241. It have Amlogic (mason 6) Dual Processor set in 1.2Ghz and 1 GB RAM, GPU Dual Mali 400, running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 :highfive:
It can run all games in excellet performance if... dont sleep. Take easy, i can explain:
Yeah, i dont know why, but, when tablet turns on, he play everything very well. But, if the screen lock and sleep for 5 min or more, the tablet shows me so much lag and low performance after wake up. Just way to back to good playing is restarting device.
I think the problem is the power saving or a seriuos bug, but i not sure. This tablet is set up in conservative mode, and i cant change it. Really, i cant change nothing relative of CPU. I already rooted device with kongo, it works really good! But any apps of overclock dont works in this device. Give root permission, you set, but nothing happen.
I try change manually sys directory (cpufreq), with adb shell, but is same. I give permissions to rw, but the device return me ALWAYS operation denied.
Well, i like to know if is possible write in sys directory. I try for adb and rooted file explorer, but always is operation failled or denied. If this low performance after sleep is a bug, how to fix or if change the governor can help me in this case?
I cant wait for updates... maybe this tablet never see other android version. I cant change image files and rom, cause i cant do backup in this device. Need a solution for compiled kernel.
Seens it is not a particularity of my device. All AOC MID 7y2241 shows this same problem (but only me realized.). Everyone thinks this tablet is slow, but it can run heavy apps and games easily (before first sleep).
Pls, a really need some help (more than 5 days searching and nothing...)
*********************************************************
News: When device restart, 2 cores are working. After 5 min sleeping (lock screen), just one core work. Nothing do the second core wake up. Just shows stopped in CPU-Z. I think this is the problem. How i can fix?
For god, nobody????
Cmon guys, just 5 min of a genius can libert me of my insanity!!!

Man, i really really apreciatte your iniciative. Thank you so much! I dont give up yet...
I already do a factory reset, cleanning cache, using Power + Up Button. And not work... Maybe you want said other thing, maybe?
I pass last days broken head in this S.O, and seens a bugged kernel. The tablet boot, and 2 cores working. When 5 min pass by (standby), the cpu 1 is setted off line, and dont wake up again until restart. In I9100, the core wake up frequently, according to demand. But in this case, it dont wake anymore...
When the tablet boot, In "cpu1" folder (in sys/devices/system/cpu/), there is a shortcut of folder "cpufreq" contained in "cpu0" folder. When pass 5 min in standby, the cpu1 is setted like offline, and this shortcut (cpufreq folder in cpu0) is deleted, together with folder "topology". When force wakeup cpu1, just folder "topology" backs. In short, the shortcut of "cpufreq" folder in "cpu1" folder no back anymore.
I think that cpu1 stays without freq control, cause system tuner apps shows the cpu1 like online (just when force wake up), but without freq, just shows n/a.
I really really apreciate a solution for this problem. No one apps can do anything usefull.
For hour, this table have a 4000mah battery, so, i dont matter if i can disable hotplug cpu function. I prefer let 2 cores working that let it cpu1 in offline.
All apps that give tweak "all core enable" in boot dont work (rooted). I need a way that prevent the cpu1 to be setted offline permanently when in standby (lock screen), to avoid first offline set in cpu1.
Something to do with your cpu governor not scaling properly on wake up. Download No-frills CPU Control from playstore. You can read about this app in here.
Try setting the cpu governor to interactive (if none, ondemand) and i/o scheduler to sio (if none, noop or deadline). You can also adjust the min/max frequencies of the stock values.
Yet trying!
Hello!!!
Thanks god, somebody reply me! :victory:
So, how i said, noone apps in google play works (rooted) in this tablet. The No Frills was the first that i try. I click apply, but the config dont change (rooted!).
Is a total root. No this problem. I think that cpu Amlogic have some limitations. Maybe the energy controller is very limited, cause i cant change freqs, governors and I/O (any apps). Just have "conservative" (default, i cant change) and "performance2" (i cant set) governors. Exists "performance", but not have config options (is like no exists).
Or, maybe, the kernel of this android version no able this changes (in this case, i have hope).
I think I/O dont go work here (disk scheduler). What i want is prevent cpu1 set offline, maybe disabling hotplug control?
I discover that this cpu set auto offline cpu1 after 40 ~ 50 min playing heavy games (for sure, high temps...). Certainly, the power manager of cpu Amlogic meson6 is very useless.
If somebody know how disable it in kernel options (maybe uninstalling drivers?), it would be amazing :highfive:

Claim warranty!
It is s SW Problem ... Iam developing a custom kernel for a Ventos 7 HD ( has the same CPU) it has the the same problems. I fixed it by comparing many meson6 kernel sources. You will need a custom kernel.The Original Amlogic Kernel is very buggy .The CPU can reach 1.5ghz without problems but it is not active in most kernels for Amlogic.Also the CPU1 down is a known Problem , this happens often after a suspend.
Try to find the kernelsource for the device.Maybe i can help you then.

I'll start off by saying I basically bought the surnia Moto E 2015 (xt1526) specifically for an affordable way to play Pokemon Go. When it's working it works quite well but when in very high particle effect situations such as Battling or Evolving Pokemon it will start to get very hot and then eventually the frame rate will drop and sometimes the app will crash. I've tried a few different ROMs (Cyanogenmod 13, ResurrectionRemix, Cypher) and all seem to have the same issue. The only Kernel I've tried so far are stock and Squid Kernel.
That being said though I've had some experience tweaking and trying to optimize phones for normal app and multitasking usage but I've no experience at all trying to optimize for gaming. If anyone has gotten this particular phone to run optimally without crashes etc while gaming would you kindly suggest the Kernel, Roms and/or settings I should use for doing so? I've seen that were some good gaming ROM's for otus but those seem to have not been brought over to the surnia.
TLDR: surnia xt1526 overheats plummets in FPS and crashes while battling in Pokemon Go, any help appreciated
Update: After trying many different suggestions though I'm sure they did help out others they did not work for me. My phone's GPU was overheating up to 62 degrees sometimes in particular while many people seemed to be tweaking their CPU's mine was still overheating and crashing with those tweaks.
So this is probably a YMMV thing but what finally worked for me was installing a kernel that had some good GPU tweaks and the one I found best so far has been Inazuma R5 it actually has the GPU's lowest setting underclocked to 100mhz, with 400mhz still being the max and also makes use of adreno idler to keep the GPU cooler.
So if you've been having these issues I'd suggest opening up Kernel Adiutor after your phone starts crashing and overheating and taking note of the temperatures. If it's your GPU look for a kernel with adreno idler. If it's CPU then you can go with some of the other suggestions below.
Edit: I want to be clear that this is mainly only a problem with BATTLE after 30-60 consecutive minutes in Pokemon Go (sometimes also with mass evolution because of the heavy animation effects during evolution) So please specify, if you could, whether or not you've had a stable battling experience for extended periods of time.
Ive been using CM13 and squid kernel r16g and had been experiencing lags in pokemon go until i tried out some settings in kernel auditor. In kernel auditor under the tab low memory killer scroll down and select 'very light' and disable adaptive low memory killer(the first option in the 'low memory killer' tab) and now switch the tab to 'virtual memory' and scroll down to the last option and set the memory limit to around 460-480mb. Now under the tab 'cpu-plug' disable the intelliplug switch and there will be an option called as touch to boost, you just gotta enable that(this option is a major player in making the game to perform well).So just try this and see if this works, it worked very well for, i hope it does the same for you.
P.S. This may cause your battery to drain more as you set ur phone to perform more, So after you finish playing the game set it to default.

Can this phone run the game fine on stock firmware? Or have you only tried it on custom roms?

A friend of mine tried playing this on stock ROM, frame drops lags and crashes all the way.
Havent quite used the stock rom lately....just been flashing roms quite frequently, so can't really say abt the performance of this game in stock And yes, a must try ROM recommendation for all you guys, playing pokemon go, wud be slim rom. Flashed Slim rom yesterday and found it to be light weighted ROM compared to many other roms n that too without a custom kernel. I tried playing pokemon go while in Slim and it worked just fine without lags or crashes. The only thing is that Slim is based on AOSP/CAF so features r limited unlike other roms.
it works fine on mine phone with stock 6.0 and squid kernel, I think that your lags are caused by ram hungry apps in background
ive bought three boost phones in the last couple of weeks just for spoofing devices, all running perfect. I pushed twrp 3.0.2, official cm13, and that's it.
edit: here is the full setup i used when flashing and unlocking/rooting from my google drive:

I don't know I'm not really running much in the background just Gmail and Telegram, as I'm playing more and more it seems like it starts to overheat then starts lagging after doing battles for about 20mins straight. I have to put it in front of a fan and let it cool off before I can do battles again. So I think it's just a hardware issue. Unless anyone else has been able to do battles for more than 30mins without running in to lag and crashing
