Error with Nandroid Backup and performance my S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have some questions...
1) Some days ago i tried to make a Nandroid Backup by CWM touch ver. 6.0.x.x but i got the message that the systen can't mount the image on Sd.
Then i couldn't boot my phone because the system was blocked on Samsung logo screen!
I was forced to make a full wipe and i installed the apps again...
2) I have my S3 in signature and i applied a pegasusq governor with row scheduler. I tested by Quadrant app and i left this configuration.
But using Antutu benchmark app i have discovered these results:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why have i these bad results compared to standard S3 that Antutu has into its archive?
3) How can i increase the touchscreen sensibility?
Thank you for your attention..

2) my firmware is an original international stock ver. 4.1.2 and the configuration you can find in my signature.
I setted max freq cpu at 1800Mhz and governor and scheduler are as said in my precedent post.
What can i modify to obtain better performance results?
Update: my bad result was caused by energy save enabled!
I didn't know that the energy save takes this bad result!!!
Now, after to have excluded cpu limit (max cpu freq is 1800Mhz) on energy save configuration i have over 17000 value on Quadrant Benchmark.
Further since few days ago i undervolted each step freq of 37,5mV and making a stability test by Antutu my smartphone has been restarted without finishing the test.
Only at 12,5mV reduction by default for each freq i can finish the test but i have this result:
Di you know how can i set much better to save power and stability?
Thank you!!

Phone only uses 5 CPU steps, although ExTweaks is set to 16 steps?

I'm on CM9 and Siyah 4.1.5. In Extweaks I've tried to set the CPU steps to 16 (all available), but whatever I do, CPUSpy apparently shows that only the default 5 steps (200-500-800-1000-1200) are used. Tried reinstalling CPUSpy and Extweaks, reflashing the kernel in CWM, reverting to an older version of Siyah, still no luck.
On my other (dual-booted ROM), things are fine. Pretty strange. Any ideas why, guys?
Make sure that which modem are u using?...
Is it compatible to ur phone..

1) xDa_nightfury - WTF does the modem he's using have to do with him being unable to use all 16 CPU steps ?
2) OP - Go into Recovery & try clearing init.d scripts/reset ExTweaks profiles. Reboot, go into ExTweaks app & set to 16 CPU steps or whatever. Reboot again & try it out/see what happens. I've been using Siyah for ages (& with CM9 for a couple of months) and never had that problem.

I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work.
Here are some pics in case my description goes misunderstood:
CPUSpy showing only 5 steps. Over a long time it does show other steps, but only for seconds.

}
ExTweaks settings.
As you can see the ExTweaks settings don't seem to have any effects. In ExTweaks whether I set it to 5 steps, 9 steps or 16 steps, CPUSpy will always show that 16 steps are available, but only 5 are used. Checked again with BBS, so I'm pretty sure.
And, to edit my first post, on closer inspection, my dual-booted ROM does indeed have this same problem. That would make this problem the kernel's fault, right? I have also used Siyah for a long time, but only noticed this problem this morning.
More edit: I think I fixed the problem. I flashed a different kernel (chose Dorimanx 5.58), and the problem seems to have gone away. ExTweaks settings are at 15 steps, and CPUSpy now recognizes CPU activity in all the steps.
This is weird, though.
Noob question...wats the use of using more cpu steps??

What's your CPU governor and I/O ? How about smooth working?

800mhz, smartassv2, deadline, smooth
I'm also be proud of my battery. Check this out:
ROM: STOCK 4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel: STOCK 2.6.32.9-perf
Baseband: -64
I used it when I need, so some sms, calls
I got better result with advanced stock kernel than VDS kernel (modified for optimax). But 5 days.. wow
It's not so impressive, i think anyone can do that kind of results if you don't use your device frequently. I tried that several weeks ago with my Ray.
kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
Version: 4.0.4
Firmware: 4.1.B.0.587

Thanx Web_E
Maybe a combination of options from the aroma installer decisive.. dont know for sure, but impressive result.. very satisfied.
I forgot to mention brightness, 40%
Thanks for mentioning my rom. And OptiKernel Battery is VDS kernel but with linario and init.d support.Linario makes stuff smoother and via init.d you get gpu rendering better. So if you use original vds then check OptiKernel battery
Are these results possible on JB kernels? Such as PACman? Now I got 1 day... max 2 days on battery... My maximum was 3,5 day on stock GB.

[Q] Why aren't SetCPU profiles working on my XMP?

I 've a rooted (SuperSu) XMP stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 build .84, with the Project Fluid build.prop tweaks and Init.d scripts.
I 've configured SetCPU to make the processor run at 368MHz, and made two profiles: One to run at 122MHz when the screen is off and another one to run at 1024MHz while playing GTA III, GTA Vice City and Dead Trigger.
The problem is the processor runs at 368MHz all the time, profiles aren't working (I know they aren't because the games run slow). What can i do to solve the problem?
I dint got actually what you are talking about. ?
I ever had any issues overclocking & underclocking my phone.,
Try selecting the governor - ondemand
IO scheduler - sio
Apply on boot tick it. :good:
Hit thanks if i helped
This is the problem: Processor speed doesn't change to 1024MHz when I start GTA Vice City, and it should, because I've made a profile to change processor speed to that value when I start GTA.
Thank you for trying to help anyways.
Edit: Here are some images of my SetCPU configuration.

Delete all the profiles and set the speed as per my 1st post hope it will work now , you have unlocked your bootloader yes..??

I've switched to xNXT (ICS ROM). Now it works. Maybe it was some kind of Gingerbread bug. Thank you.

[Q] CPU Governers Cyanogenmod 11

Hello, yesterday I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 (intl) i9300 with Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot build (cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-i9300.zip).
All is good, except that the battery life isnt as good as the stock Touchwiz 4.3. So I went through the CPU governers post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736168 and read all them.
But in my device, I only have 5 governers:
ondemand
userspace
powersave
pegasusq
performance

}
Currently I am using ondemand. I want to use either ondemandx or conservative to save my battery. Why are those not available in the options?
Also after selecting userspace I cannot get to select min and max frequencies that always remains disabled? Is there any way to enable it?
I am new to modding and android so sorry if this sounds to lame. Thanks for helping in advance !!!!

The link you provided is from HTC sensation forum. Most of the governors mentioned there are not for our phone.
Also since you have installed cyanogen only, you have only stock cyanogen kernel. To play around with governors you need a custom kernel, which has more governor choices and many more settings to save battery. Also u can overclock or underclock the frequencies.
Try the kernels present in S3 I9300 forums only. Dont wander into other phone's forums and install their kernels, u will brick your phone.

Thanks lefttobleed. Will stick to ondemand have been getting good battery life after switching from pegasusq. Will explore custom kernel as I further explore android development.:good:

[mod] overheat fix and protection /single click cpu modes

Warning I am not responsible for any damage to you or your phone by following hereinafter given procedure you r giving ur consent to bear risk related thereto....do u r responsible for that.
Hey guys today m going to give you a tasker based fix for yu yureka's overheating problem while it is put in pressure if workload that too with fewer heating than usual in our phone + there is also a power saving mode + there is also a heat protection system which closes down 6 cores and reduces frequency when ur CPU crosses 72"
So here u get
1. Overheating fix
2.overheating protection system
3 CPU power save.
•What u need :-
1.root +busybox
2tasker(link below)(download apk from any where else)
3.power toggles(link below)
4.tbp(full version)
5.secure settings(download from play store)
•Requirments:-
1.any kernel that supports thunderplug (by varun.chitre) (thunderzap most preferred kernel)
•Procedure for installing mod
1.root the phone install busybox and install tbp
2. Download two tbp backup from the links
3.click on those downloaded files a popup will appear click "app+data" (for tasker press "data only" button) and open tasker and power toggles
4.install secure settings frm playstore
U r done
•What u get in this mod(detailed)
1.u get 3 mode of CPU on single click I.e default performance and powersave
Default = 4cores on + full freq range(200 MHz - 1.7ghz or 1.6) + GPU at "simple-ondemand"
Performance = 8 cores with full frq range +GPU similar as before case
Powersave = 2cores with 200mhz - 1.1 freq range + GPU at powersave at 220mhz max
2. Less heating in most of high loads;
3.Overheat protection (in case CPU gets hotter than 70°C only 2cores with 800mhz max will run) (this may cause some big lag but will protect ur device in case there is accidental heat)
3.a direct toggle for developer options so in case u need to limit BG process in powersave mode
•How to use this mod:-
U can activate the aforementioned modes by powertoggles which will b there in ur notification , just click and mode u clicked will b activated
Which icon stands for what mode given in screen shot herein attached in post
