Hi all,
I seem to have a problem with certain roms on my S3 that will heat my phone up excessively after just a few minutes use, while other roms don't.
I used to use Omega Rom V43.3 and JKay and that never once heated up to the extent that I would almost burn myself. I decided to try Revolution HD, Glamour S5 and Blisspop and my phone would heat up with all of them.
I am looking for a new rom as Omega Rom is really outdated and I am missing out on newer updates.
What would cause this? Is this Kernel related? If so what Rom or Kernel would reduce this?
I use the screen on the lowest brightness setting and don't use too many apps at once, Spotify, Facebook, Whatsapp etc.
Does anyone have an idea? I would have asked in a dev thread for one of the roms but I don't have the required 10 posts.
Thanks!

Use boeffla kernel. Underclock cpu & gpu.

Underclocking is hardly the solution. I'd check for CPU-intensive apps. One of them must be running in the background. Check the battery stats for clues too.
Its ROM code issues
The rom is probably taxing the hardware more
Is 60 degrees celsius a normal temperature for a phone cpu to reach? This seems really high to me as I am almost burning my hands. It's really uncomfortable. Battery reaches about 43 degrees celsius.
Using Boefla Kernel and Android Revolution HD rom. Tried Blisspop with Archi Kernel and it would get just as hot. Omega rom the same thing.
Screen is on it's lowest setting and I tried undervolting as well, no luck. These are all fresh wipe installs
Is it just one of those things that some S3's will heat up more than others or is this temperature a bit too high?
Thanks
So long as the device doesn't shut down it wont do any damage. The main problem is comfort. Have you activated power save mode?

So I have come to believe that our galaxy phones would run hot during CPU intensive tasks such as web browsing with lots of flash GPS, data usage and webbrowsing. What I don't get is that, why is our phone hotter than for example an iPhone when during CPU intensive tasks?
Surfing the web on data doesn't get as hot on the iPhone as my galaxy s2
One possible reason is due to the fact iphone 4s CPU is clocked at 1Ghz compared to ours at 1.2 Ghz. You can try clocking down, it doesnt completely make the phone cold, but I found it helps. Im my case at least, all my apps work just fine even at 1 GHz.
Can you describe where the heat source is? Mine is just around the camera. I've found out in fact many custom roms cause this. Resurrection, sensation, none worked without heating. Though with stock rom, I've rarely had heating problems (only while charging). So I assume custom roms do not help much in this sense.

Just to confirm, you have the i9100 correct? Not the AT&T or Tmobile SGS2?

Yea around the camera. That's where all the heat comes from. I don't remember stock at all as I quickly changed from stock to AOSP. But every AOSP rom so far has the heating problem. I just underclocked my phone to 100mhz to 900mhz. And also step down the GPU.
you could have tried changing modem and kernel.

Its actually the problem within Exynos chip-set ,its get super hot ( 50+ degrees Celsius!) during intensive task ,other phones use different SoC,i think samsung already solved this issue in S III ,hopefully ^^

Yeah Roms can influence rapid heating as some roms may force most apps to use maximum resources (like all processors) and thereby causing rapid heating but in cm we are given several settings for managing.
Also heavy hd games will heat up the phone regardless of the Rom.

Well most high end phone's are designed to handle heating but working the phone too long like that will reduce it's life, because of the stress on the hardware.

So my s3 all of a suden started to have micro stutters,i have a custom rom Foxhound 2.3, and when i try a custom kernel it lags as hell. for exemple perseus stutters my phone in app drawer and almost everytime i open an application. Syah 1.8.9. although its better, still have some stutters... the only one that can have the phone more stable is the stock one. I dont really mind having the stock kernel is just that it makes the phone more stable but it still stutters some times when opening apps and in the app drawer. Its weird because in applications i have no problems, and when im playing games is all good to.. even the more heavy intensive. Also my boot and shutdown animation stutter or jitters a little bit.. a thing that dint happened.
Also the benchmarks are good as always +/- 16000 on antutu, no changes... so i dont really understand whats happening...
Is the phone dead? any ideas?

I have had this also. I guess it could be some minor ROM/kernel incompatibility or something like that. Performance was usually good but the tiny little stuttering drove me crazy. Yank555 kernel was a good solution for me, 0 stutter.
I would say that the bundled kernel in any given ROM is probably the most stable with that ROM, but if you want to try a different kernel it's best to flash it right after a clean ROM flash and configure the kernel to be a little bit more on the performance side. I mean if it's configured to save battery it's more likely to make the UI stutter.
At the moment I'm on ReVolt nightly with Yank CM kernel. No lags or stutters. I've tested a few Samsung leak 4.2.1 ROMs also with (obviously) stock kernels, no stutters with them either.
Play around and test different ROMs and kernels, find the best solution for you.

Strange. If it does it with all kernels and ROMs it could be some kind of a hardware problem. I would flash stock ROM through Odin just to be sure... if that won't help I think nothing will.
Hi,
I keep on trying various ROMs available. I have noticed that on the same usage pattern 20 hours after a charge stock ROM or stock based ROMS give me around 2 hours to 2.15 hours of screen on time on 3G/2G but if I use AOSP based ROM Omega or earlier the CM it gives me hardly 1.15 hours of screen on time and it dies! Does anybody experience it? Any ways to improve battery life on OMEGA ROM to match it with Sammy ROMS?
I use minimal apps including whatsapp, location on, gmail on push sync,twitter, a little of music max 1 ~1.5 hrs. Also have installed same Kernel Agni with same profiles extreme battery saving or normal-optimized! But still I find so much of difference!
Another thing I have noticed I use 700 mAh charger to charge my phone, it takes around 3 hours on Sammy ROMs but it charges like in 2 or 2.15 hrs on Omega/AOSP based ROMs.
Can anyone help me to understand if you face similar issues? any solutions? any way we can improve battery life on Omega? Please don't tell to turn off location that has hardly helped me!
P.S. Omega ROM version 4.4.2 everywhere! and Sammy ROM 4.3 everywhere!

Hey thanks for reply! I don't want to actually stay on lower frequencies! 1.4GHz max is ok! I wanted to know have you experienced such things with Sammy vs AOKP/AOSP/CM ROMS ? Already s3 is laggiest devices I have >.>

Hi guys, I'm searching for a rom which works great with games, any ideas?
No one is going to answer you because of the rules. I'm trying to find it to for the last six months. In my opinion is best if you have some knowledge if you don't you will have to read for a while, to use you latest stock rom. But you will have to deodex it, zipallighn it, apply the modes you like from other rom if there are some and remove the bloatwear not all just the one that is safe to remove and you don't need. And perhaps replace touchwiz with nova launcher. It's just that here are very sensitive on questions about best rom. For the past six months I've downloaded a lot of roms and after a while having problems with all of them- here I mean problems with playing games. And till now the best experience I had was with stock rom but then I was missing some futures, mods from others. So only solution as I don't wanna search for another 6 monts is make my own. By the way the qiestion is not which is the best rom but which is the best for games or in other words on which rom I'll have no or less problems but stil for here is like you ask which is the best.
So make your own rom deodex and zipallighn for speed, remove the app you don't need because most of the bloatwear has running processes all the time so you can have more free ram and then if you want some extra mods.
I hope this is helpful although it mean you have a lot to read if you are new at that.
As previously stated, stock roms are the best all rounders and in my opinion much better than custom roms hands down.
As soon as you root a samsung you can expect performance issues. Had the same problem on all 3 samsung devices I've owned. This led me to not touch my htc m9 at all as far as mods go..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Thanks for an answer.
I've used a lot of roms too, I've been changing them every week and I'm really enjoying ArchiDroid with android 5.1.1. I'm definitely going to try installing latest stock and doing what you told me to, I never liked stocks though.

I can't live without root, I'm using a lot of tweaks and rooted apps. Stock roms were always laggy and slow for me, maybe I just can't use them properly.
Stock ROMs are laggy on legacy devices.
New devices works perfectly good on Stock ROMs. This is why they have lesser Custom ROMs and older devices still has some ongoing developments.
I've never had any performance issue after rooting my Sonys and Samsungs. I always had better performance and recommend custom ROMs because they work better for me. Please bear in mind that my latest device is the S3 which has 1GB RAM while other new phones are going 4GB so my opinion only stops here : On old devices. On new devices , I've played with my friends Note 3 alot and we reached a conclusion that it works flawless even on Stock ROM.
For a gaming ROM , I would suggest ArchiDroid if you are going CM. Latest Archidroid Lollipop works flawlessly for me (Even while using Chrome with 11 Tabs. No lags and reloads while switching tabs). Runs NFS:Most Wanted , Cyrus and alot other major games that I've tested run on full FPS without a single lag. However , Hearthstone will never work good on S3 even on this magnificent ROM. Go for Archidroid for both KitKat and Lollipop if you want Performance. Go for Temasek (Darkened's build) if you want balanced Performance , customization and slightly better Battery life. Other ROMs work too , they may have more customization (Blisspop) etc but I did not list them because they are too heavy for a Gaming ROM In my opinion. AOKP KitKat is also a fair choice to go for.
For Touchwiz Based ROMs, I would say LukeROM. Install without Bloat and enjoy a smooth ROM even on stock kernel and no Greenify. NFS:Most Wanted , Cytus and other major games that I've tested also runs on full FPS without lag. It also has stock Camera and Note 4 Multiwindow that allow floating app like Messenger Chat Head. However , Chrome makes this ROM die on stock kernel. 4 or 5 tabs and it starts reloading when switching tabs. NeatROM Lite is also a good choice if you're fine with Android 4.3 and a Bluetooth Bug where NFC gets turn on too when you connect to a Bluetooth device. (Might be device specific bug since I don't see a lot of comments about that bug). Blekota's S5 Lite ROM with Boeffla kernel and Speed Mod also works flawless. Check my post on that thread for tutorial.(Posted few months back)
These are my personal experience with various ROMs for I9300. I've flashed almost every ROM that came to XDA and a few other Chinese forums since January 2014 and these are my conclusions. Please bear in mind that the same ROM might perform differently for different users with different usage and settings. Have a nice day
@conanDO98 Thanks for an answer, you just put everything in a whole new light to me. I'm on Luke's rom for like an hour now, it works great. But i do have a question, you said "no greenify", may I ask why? I always thought it's good for performance.
I have 550 free ram running cm 12(gaaps pico installed)now looking for a custom kernel to overclock...can u sugest me one?
@nolitooo When I was on cm12 I was using an ArchiKernel, it worked great. There's always boeffla kernel, with boeffla config app, try them both and pick your best

I'm sorry. By no greenify I mean I did not install Greenify on that ROM.
I suggest flashing Boeffla 7.9 on Luke ROM because after flashing I find the ROM smoother and Chrome works better

I've tried archdroid it's not that it wasn't good just searching for better. I play a lot call of duty heroes which is laggy with all the roms i've tried so far but with most of them after a few days the game starts to crash, to close by itself but I don't need a rom that I need to restart every few hours or every day.
I'll try Luke Rom in a few days and will see if it's better. I guess that part of the problem is that most of the time I have installed around 80 apps by me. Some games, for alarm, calculator, apps like facebook, line, soundhound, xposed with some mods and others.
About the kernel I like boeffla with his options but for some reason I have less apps closing by itself with stock.

I think stock roms are better for gaming, I play a lot of games, I was using cm12.1 and archidroid for few months and gaming was nice, but not what I was looking for. Now I'm on Luke ROM with boeffla 7.9 and gaming is so much better then on lollipop. I haven't played CoD Heroes though.
I did try the Luke rom but after a few days had some problems with some games, back on stock and all perfect. Now just have to download some tools and have free time and will deodex and zipaligh it. And some other mods if I find some good.
