I have flashed the cm11 12/20 (latest nightly) and crpalmers version 5.3.7 kernel. His init.d scripts are supposed to lock in the cpu frequencies which i set to 162000 and 1026000. The crpalmer.log file says the frequencies are locked in but my min and max cpu frequencies are both 1134000 for some reason. this is on a fresh install and ive tried rebooting and wiping the cache and dalvik cache multiple times. does anyone know how i could successfully lock in the cpu frequencies? no app will do it either. thanks in advance.
Why don't you ask this in his kernal thread. He would be a good guy to ask.

What are you looking at to see what your min max frequencies are?
If the logs say they are set, they usually are.
I don't have the administrative privileges or something like that. So I decided this was the second best place. I'm looking in settings>performance>processor.

I imagine the logs would be accurate, but so shouldn't the processor settings in the settings app.

You should have administrator privileges (superuser) if you were able to flash a cm-based ROM and kernel.
Do a clean flash. Wipe dalvik, cache, system, and data. Then flash the ROM and gapps and then boot and set up the phone. Then go back into recovery and flash the kernel.
I mean I don't have administrative privileges to post in the original development forums. Sorry about the confusion. And already did a clean wipe and installed the kernel after the first boot. Should I try again?

The scripts should work as advertised unless there is another app or a script/mod you installed that's trying to override the kernel's settings.
Just try from the beginning, wipe davlik, cache, data, and system. Install the rom and let it run and set up some things. Then flash the kernel.
Do not restore anything (data and/or apps). If things are working fine, then make a nandroid. Then you can start restoring things. If anything you restore mucks things up at least you have a pristine backup that you could restore.
Okay I'll try that. Thank you for the help, it is very much appreciated!

Okay, after spending the whole day screwing with my phone me and my wife's phones are rooted, unlocked, and s-off running custom roms. Everything is cool except for one thing, somehow my wife's phone lost root and she is getting frustrated not being able to open certain apps and she's getting super pissed at me. Can someone please help. I tried running the perm root in the "noob proof tool thing" and reinstalled superuser in AmanRa and it did nothing. Out of ideas. How do you just root it?

Have you tried checking the app that handles superuser permissions within the ROM itself?
Most Rezound ROMs have "Superuser" or "Super SU" in the app drawer.
Check how the program is handling permissions in settings and try updating the busybox binaries there for starters.
More than one superuser app running at the same time can be problematic too.
Reinstall the rom

In recovery clear cache and dalvik cache. And if you flash the same ROM you shouldn't have to wipe data.

Yep, and back up text messages of course, she'll probably not appreciate those disappearing.
Got an option built into message app for SMS, and MMS can be saved a few ways such as this here (if Titanium Backup is installed and working properly with root, since you said "some" apps):

okay, so can I just update su binaries and, in recovery, wipe cache and davlic cache then just restore her backup? Really trying to avoid having her set all her $hit up again.

Backup was suggested for if you re-flash the ROM and have her set back up lol, I mean that doesn't hurt.
Update SU binaries and wipe caches and check things out again.
To try and sit down and reason it out a bit: What apps are having issues, why just "some." Are all these issues actually connected and directly related to root access? Could just be permissions issue, or problem with restoring from Titanium Backups.
You can use Root Checker off Play Store to check that quickly. If that says you're ok, check the SU app on your ROM and settings, reinstall of that may help.
Again, all root is in a nutshell is access to the whole filesystem, accomplished on our phone by running the system as a particular user with administrative permissions. You interact with the Superuser apps, which in turn use busybox binaries to interface with the system.
Kinda odd it could just dissappear after being installed successfully, unless it got deleted or settings changed, or very unlikely file corruption. Worse case, if it is not another issue, you do not have root access, and cannot pin down the solution, a ROM reflash is suggested. Remember to reinstall SU then if the ROM doesn't have it of course, most all custom ones have root built in, Stock ROMs don't.
Flash a superuser.zip
That's what I had to do.

OK guys i.'m tying to track down the file or files responsible for saving the programs I choose for my default apps. I am having my settings only stick for around ten minutes. After that time I have to choose my default app if multiple choices exist again.
I have a working theory that my permissions on said file or files are borked and I need to get them setup right again. I think they are not being written to the "save" fle and when the program chosen is killed my choice is killed with it.
I have tried using fix permissions in my recovery to no avail.
I am on MeanRom 2.6 ICS I am s-off with full root access.
Could someone tell me the file or files I should check and what the permissions should be when I look at them?
Thanks for any help,

I would try a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, boot) and then flash the ROM again. Some files might have gotten messed up during the flash so it's always best to start with a clean slate

So almost all of the ROM listed require a factory reset, data wipe, cache clear, but the thing that's confusing me is when I do that it deletes the ROM I'm trying to flash from recovery. So I have to boot back into the newly wiped ROM, download the new one, boot back into recovery and THEN flash. So, is this still considered a dirty flash? How do I avoid this without there being an additional SD slot?
Factory reset won't wipe your data. Where are you storing the file?

The ROMs are always in the /sd/downloads folder. But like I said, after I wipe, it's gone. I should mention that I also do a format, as per the instructions.

I agree. As long as I skip the format part it stays there. So I'll continue doing so until I begin having issues.

Try reinstalling the crashing apps from store if the apps are inherited from the previous rom.

If the gapps package crashed you should fix your permissions. Could you give more details about the apps? System or user apps?
It sounds like you haven't fully wiped your phone before flashing a ROM. If all your applications were still there when you flashed the ROM, then you didn't fully wipe. You have to wipe in the following order in recovery before flashing a ROM -
1) Wipe system
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache

So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...
This exact thing happened to me.. The ONlY way to fix it is to flash new roms sorry
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is not the only way to fix it. You can put the apk in the data/app folder and reboot and it should install. You do have unknown sources checked right?

Yeah, I have that option checked. I'll try moving them there and see if that works.

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?

As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g
