i9300 more powerfull than other i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have CM 13 installed on my i9300, and on another i9300 too, that is of my wife (exactly the same rom), but mine is slower. I don't know why, but, since CM11 that I install the rom on both i9300, and her galaxy is more efficient, less buggy and faster responsive. Even on a benchmark test, her device is more powerfull.
I don't know much what is the cause.
Can someone help me to overclock my i9300? I don't know what to do...
Thanks.

Some particular phones may have bad processors or they don`t work at full potential. It`s a mass produced product, a bunch of them may have some flaws.
In order to overclock your cpu/gpu, you have to flash a custom kernel. If you have the official Cm 13 Nightlies, you can download Boeffla kernel along with the boeffla config and over/underclock your cpu/gpu.
For more information and download links, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rnel-boeffla-kernel-2-2-stable-27-03-t2449408.

Many thanks!

No Sdcard on both phones ? Just asking cause it can have an impact on performance.

Are you sure that you're running the same build? Myself I know that some tend to be much slower than other ones which are as responsive as brand new phones.
Do NOT overclock phones, that doesn't even make them noticeable faster, it's all bull****. Instead underclock your CPU (I have no clue how) so you have a longer battery life and the device might not heat up as much.

Best solution is to do hard reset, that's what I did after flashing many different ROMs, my phone simply slowed down and that put it back on track.

[Q] Ace's Processor

Hello Guys ,
I am planning on buying Samsung Galaxy Ace. I want to make sure whether it is true that Galaxy Ace has the same processor that LG Optimus One P500 has , but it's just overclocked in case of Ace ?
Not overclocked buts its the turbo version, thats by default 800mhz

Are you sure ? and if Yes, is it possible to overclock Ace's processor in the future ?
check pdadb.net's database, the processor of ace is speciafically turbo version with 800mhz as default.
i think we could overclock it if custom os kernel is out, which russell is working on
dont knw about about processor... but my cousin has lg 500 and my bro galaxy ace... and they both agree wid me galaxy ace is far more smoother and better than lg 500... and a medium sized screen is just a charm...
Has your cousin flashed his LGO1 with any custom ROM ? I have heard that "Megatron ROM" for LGO1 makes it perform much better than how it performs when it's stuck with its stock ROM and enables it to handle/run much resource consuming games and apps !!
Well, I, personally haven't used it nor have seen somebody using it

hi bot9011,
custom roms for Samsung galaxy ace are undr development (ie. Darky rom, villain rom and Cyanogen). As of now we have a light weight Villain ROM, and believe me it is very responsive. So if you think about the future when Overclock kernels are built, it can be overclocked to 1GHz! With all these top class ROM and a better hardware, this phone has got the punch.
LG P500 has been around for a year now and the development has evolved pretty well, and in the current scenario new phones are rolling out at an alarmingly fast rate, so it would be disastrous if you buy old phones. You will repent later, believe me...
With all these said the decision is yours to make.
And congrats in advance on your new ANDROID!

If your concern is to have current hardware this is not a good device for that being it uses an arm11 processor. I have not seen anything to indicate this chipset is any different than the standard msm7227 but with an increase in clock speed and most likely voltage too.
As far as the optimus is concerned the additional ram is far more valuable than the extra clock speed in my opinion. Not to mention that the optimus is far more prevalent which is the reason the developer backing is much better.
I'm interested to see if there is any hardware differences and what kind of oc clock speeds you guys achieve.
Thanks a lot for the reply!
Well if you are saying that LG O1 has obsolete hardware and Galaxy Ace is any day better than it, I would like to say that you're pretty wrong !
Both the phones sport the same processor , that is , ARM11 V6 and most of the upcoming updates will be for the phones equipped with V7 and v7+ processors (That's what a senior member on this website, named silvertooth ,told me )
And Yeah, it is true that Ace's processor is said to be in turbo mode so that it can tick at 800Mhz without any issues! But I don't think it is possible to further overclock Ace's processor and even if somebody managed to do it, the phone's battery wouldn't even last for a day
On the other hand it's quite easy to overclock LG O1's processor to an extent of 750Mhz without adversely affecting it's battery backup! It has even got 512MB of RAM !!
The main disadvantage of LGO1 is , it's screen is a dust magnet! Dust easily gets accumulated under it's screen and as far as I know, LG hasn't rectified the problem yet Otherwise I believe it's a pretty good phone that you can get for 10K INR!
Waddya guys say ?

Dude,
If u have an issue with budget get the LG phone, if not, get the ace i am not biasing you. All I feel is, (note:I have seen the LG P500) ace has better looks than LG P500, and I personally like good looking phones and also the 5 MP camera with the LED flash is way better than the LG camera(I like taking good photos and good videos 640x480). the 3.5" screen is pretty good for video playback and I prefer touch buttons than the HW button for the back and menu functionalities.
All these are my personal views.
Goodluck on your buy!
Flash Player
hi, guys! is it true that our ace will have soon flash player?!
Qualcomm’s 800MHz MSM7x27™ mobile processor will be the first to enable Flash Player for the mass market segment of smartphones, allowing handset manufacturers to offer richer Web-based multimedia and graphics experiences for casual games, applications, videos and other Flash-based content.

NOPE.. I am comparing the default out of the box lg optimus 1 and ace...
though ace is the far nore newer launch.. it wud take sometime to it's development phase to flourish.. on the other lgo1 is getting older and thus u can expect soon people getting over it and moving to new launches... well thats just my observation and experince.. i may be wrong..

galaxy note 1.4ghz so galaxy s2 safe oc?

Hi, i know this is a stupid question and i have tried to do some research before hand. I have never overclocked any of my android devices, as the worrying that it will decrease you phones life span has always worried me, and the fact that overclocking my old htc desire actually made it unstable. But because the galaxy note had the exact same exynos processor as the s2 but clocked to 1.4ghz. does that mean it's perfectly safe to overclock the cpu to 1.4ghz?
The reason why I am asking is because the galaxy note vs s2 videos on youtube show the note to be noticeably faster in everything. Thanks very much

I run my device at 1.6 with absolute stability. Believe it or not, a lot of the processors released in todays devices are meant to handle much higher speeds, but for battery purposes, they dont push the limits. But to answer your question, yes, its perfectly safe to push it to 1.4, and you probably wont notice any more battery drain then your already used to since they make some battery saver tweaks in the aftermarket kernels. I use Siyahs kernel and its awesome.

[Q] im new to s3 and its very smooth should i roote?

hey people and good day!
im new to s3 just bought it today and im still having the galaxy note in my hand
but itv very big for me
and i feel the changing with smoothness the s3 is incredible smooth
so my question is,should i root it and put custom rom?
because in my notre i change almost every 3 days the rom because the note little bit lag
but here with s3 its looks goddes with everything
so should i do it it will be better with the custom roms or it will make it more lag then the stock??????

It really depends on the rom and kernel you are using. At the moment I am on Omega 4.2 (going to update to 5.0 now) and SiyahKernel 1.0 over clocked at 1.6GHz. I find the S3 very smooth, more compared to stock. The stock rom is pretty smooth but if you feel that there is a lag you could always install a custom rom and kernel. With the SiyahKernel you can overclock upto 1.8GHz.

What is even the point of overclocking this phone with the software available now? There is really no need. I've actually used SetCPU to downclock my CPU when battery gets below 40% to save battery, and even more at 20%.. and it still runs fine.You're just wasting battery and shortening the life of your phone.
Stock is smooth as poop, ask yourself if you're happy with smoothness and speed.. Why risk to get weird bugs like camera fc all of the sudden etc?

Agree you need to read what the custom rom is offering in real terms not hype and decide . bear in mind that every custom rom built claims to be faster smoother saves your battery and will fly you to your destination in first class .Few say hey this rom is slower than stock as i have messed with stuff and cut and pasted a few themes .
jje
PS saying that i am in the process of flashing a stock rom purely to test out my recovery procedures for getting back to a clean stock rom .
I have a question about installing a custom ROM, will it wipe your device after installing the custrom ROM? (I want to install the latest firmware AF2) TIA

By doing underclock is battery save notic able? Will it harm cpu as it always underclock and then again back to normal?

Nope, underclocking won't harm it, having a massive overclock for most of the phone's life will probably shorten it's lifespan though.

[Q] "original" roms?

Hi all,
I'm sort of new here, so I hope I'm abiding by all the rules... I believe I am :angel:
I've only recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 (international) and have been using Omega for a while now and I'm running 33.3 atm. So not the one based on CM10, but the one based on the stock rom.
I've now reached a point where I'm feeling that I've been there and done that. So I'd like to try a new fresh solution. I've been looking at CM10 and ParanoidAndroid, as these seem to have the largest user base, based on the number of posts here in XDA Developers forums in their threads. However I'm unsure if either of these are right for me.
I believe I read about CM10 having added a feature where you inside the OS could search for and download new versions directly on the phone, like you can with new software on iOS. Is this possible on both CM10 and ParanoidAndroid?
I'm looking for something that is both rock stable and yet constantly adds new gizmos and features, so I have something to play with. I'd like for it to be very easy for me to upgrade to newer versions. On Omega you downloaded via torrents, transferred to the SD card and then just rebooted into CWM and installed from zip. It automatically wiped cache, dalvik and such. So you didn't really have to do much yourself. But if CM10 could do it evern better and also download directly to the Phone, then that's a big plus for me.
I'm also a bit curious about why people change so much stuff on their phones. I often hear people talk about different kernels. From what I understand the kernel is sort of the drivers that bridges the gap between the OS and the hardware. Why is this so important? On Omega the default seemed to work perfectly... so what do you actually get by swapping? if the answer is 0.5% extra batterylife, then that's just not enough for me.

CM10 builds are nightlies, and PA is based off of CM10. So if you want rock stable - go stock

Well first of all, kernel is not only your "drivers". It manages your governors, your I/O schedulers, CPU freq etc. That means when you are flashing a new kernel you are either looking for some improvements in responsiveness of the device, deep-sleep state improvements, WiFi patches (muticast f.e.), modules (like mali gpu), ko's (lets say for xbox controller or openvpn support), better RAM management OR you simply wanna sound smart to your friends :cyclops:
There are couple of articles you should take a look by droidphile, first one is Kernel Stuff and the second one is Governors, Modules, etc
Regarding the ROM, it pretty much depends on what you would like to do with it. If you wanna have working radio, call recording, "smart stay" and other things which are specific to TW based ROM's than you should stick with Samsung TW based ones.
CM is awesome! Very clean and nice experience. Couple of glitches here and there but no deal breaker.
PA is my daily driver. I'm very happy with it and I can't recommend enough. Highly customizable, tons of options, custom led lights, different DPI settings for each app, different layouts, on screen nav bar so on and so forth.
Although PA is based off of CM they are now migrating to AOSP. The main difference between them is code bloat. CM has own settings and codes to support them, which makes it a little bit slower than AOSP but that doesn't mean its worst.
You should start experimenting and see for yourself. XDA is full of information and although the search function is not working for the moment it will work and you can find all your answers.

[Q] GT-I8910N Kernal and Rom help

Hi there guys and gals. Having a bit of a problem with an S3 Mini exact model is GT-I8910N. Not my first Samsung root as I've done an S2 with dual boot kernel before. My question doesn't relate to which is the best. I am asking for viable ROMs which will reduce battery drain and overclock my cpu. I've used cyanogen on a g2 back in froyo. I've looked into virginity too and the crossover script part confuses me as I've normally just gone through odin and dealt with prepackaged kernels and roms. Which have it all combined. So I am looking for advice on roms but all viable roms not which is best. I can make that choice myself essentially. I'm wanting one with a reduced battery drain. CPU overclock. Bloatware removed and reduced down to as minimal as possible. An explanation of crossover would be greatly appreciated as well as known alternatives. Also am I limited to what types due to the N? I've read there's also an L and an International versions. Assuming that mine is an N as it's in the model number as seen in screenshot. Also is a rollback needed?
