I'm VERY glad you got your device back up and running:thumbup:. I know how it is when your phone isn't working
.
Just glad I could HELP...
This is exactly why even with all the tragedies we see in the world today, I have good hope for the human race: people like you, who CARE...
Side note: if your planning on keeping CWM recovery. Then ya might want to make a back up just in case anything!!
It's always a good thing too have a back up. Especially if it's working correctly, just too have something to fall back on. In the case of PROBLEMS
Yes indeed! and I wish the Android system was more forthright as to file and settings management... Case in point: I could have easily restored the phone if I could have simply copied that profile from my backup onto the device: easy and direct, the problem would have be solved in a matter of minutes.
As a long time computer user (I started working on PDP-11s using Fortran and Cobol back in the 70s, my fist PC was the TRS-80) and having seen the evolution from devices that were "difficult" to use to devices any grandma can use without second guessing, it never ceases to amaze me that in our process to make these devices "easy" to use, we've made in reality extraordinarily DIFFICULT to really use.
I mean, back in the days of early Windows, it was a simple matter to correct a parameter in autoexec.bat, config.sys, system ini or win.ini to restore your computer to working condition. Why can't it be that easy today? What went wrong?
So I ask this to the brilliant minds who are designing our future as I write this: Why make it so difficult to access computer file systems and why the global trend to bar user access to their machines and even their files? Install any software now on Android and try to get it to save files you produce with it in a usable format but more importantly, in a location of YOUR own choosing! You say backups? Why can't I have all my software settings stored in a single folder of my choice on my external SD card for easy retrieval, portability and reinstall onto any device? The Cloud paradigm is especially worrisome to me, as once they are sent to the cloud, the user loses control of them and surrenders his software environment to the software corporation's whim...
Don't you think it's high time for a user revolution from this corporate tyranny? Or am I missing something more fundamental and is it perhaps time for me to retire quietly in a cabin in the bush and let others take on the good fight?
But I digress... I AM truly happy to see that no matter what barriers are setup by corporate giants to control people, people always find ways around tyranny and as long as the spirit of freedom lives on, I have hope for my own children's future

I've been switching kernels tweaking it, changing everything with in the kernel..[with ST-tweaks] with no issue, besides different speed & battery consumption from the different setting I set!!!
That is exactly where I'm stumbling: I have used stweaks to tweak the perseus kernel and what brought me here was to find ways to charge the battery faster, using the "ignore unstable power" parameter and it has worked as it should, changed my charging rate from an average of about 33% per hour to about 40% but more importantly, significantly improved performance with my cigarette lighter adapter and non OEM cable.
However, my tests using Antutu have indicated that CPU and GPU voltage and overclock tweaks have had practically no effect performance wise unless I alos selected overclock in Antutu and use the performance governor (passing the test without any lockups), yet when I tried to set these same exact parameters to start at boot, the phone went into a boot loop!
I just don't understand it. Shouldn't setting the parameters in stweaks have an immediate, but temporary effect on the kernel so should a lockup happen, it will revert to the existing profile upon reboot? It seems to me that stweaks is very counter-intuitive in the ways it operates on the kernel. Or am i missing something here?
