Only showing one CPU running on fauxclock - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello, I'll admit i'm a noob, but the only way to learn is to ask sometimes dumb questions. Anyways, i'm currently running malice ROM on my sgs2 and it care with fauxclock for overclocking. It shows that one CPU is running and the other is offline and occasionally will flicker on for a second and show offline and won't flicker on and off for quite a while. Is this normal? Or should both be on at the same time?

The second one only works when needed.

This ^^^, its been awhile since I was on gb, but there's a line of code in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file that initiates a governor of sorts, that only enables second CPU on high load.
To confirm, run a benchmark test in antutu benchmark and reopen faux clock, it'll show both cpu's as active

Unless your on ICS, you have a single core phone, second one barely gets used...unless you have a TON of stuff open

So with GB roms, it utilizes one constantly under normal conditions unless under heady load and the second one picks up the slack as needed......and ICS utilizes both constantly? Is that pretty much right?

You can force the second core to run all of the time - I was able to do it with a script that locked out the kernel from turning it off. Doesn't really do much except eat up your battery though.

You can also use system tuner app to force second cpu online but like onyx00 posted just eats bettery.

I need help with system tuner pro please

Hey all. I bought this also last night and I really like it. Phone seems much smoother then with set cpu. My concern is when I set the clock speed, I apply them to run on init.d. But when I open the app to check the settings it shows my minimum speed as high as my maximum speed. But if I go to the voltage settings then back to the cpu settings its fine. My minimum and maximum speeds are fine. It shows both maxed out when I first open the app. I just don't want my cpu full bore all the time. Thanks.

I think what you are seeing is actually the Max of each core, not the min/max.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Also to whenever your changing speeds in system tuner after you set the desired speeds click on the kernel tab at the bottom and click on file that's says "mpdecision " and kill it, this ensures that both cpu will come back on line as the adjusted speeds you set
I stand corrected. The top slider is Max, bottom is min

You could also try and use Fauxclock for setting OC speeds and a screen off profile and just use System Tuner for UV and SD tweaks. This has been my combo and it works wonders.

[Q]Modifying the maximum overclock with a kernel

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

You can try to download no frills CPU control.should be able to overclock when you need it then, just make sure you have root (su)

@above Still, the max is set to 1.2
Side question: say I don't want to install a separate app: what files should I have to mod to select the governor and maximum frequency?
Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Isnt it just easier to kill the running apps before playing the video, than setting another oc just to play it. your reasons for doing these are too strange...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

you can kill the facebook app by logging off then it should be able to close.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

Awake time.....

I am running stock ICS, with the cpu sleeper app running and my "awake" time is crazy high. I use to have awesome battery life pre ICS, oh and I forgot to mention that I have the nexus extended battery what is running and how can I kill it....I use to get around 19 to 25+ hours before zero now I don't. I have tried to celebrate the battery by letting it run to zero, wiping battery stats and having it charge up to 100% powered off and it still suck. What am I doing wrong? Also I enclosed a pic of my current battery stats for all to see

I suggest getting GSam battery monitor and seeing what is killing your battery. If you really want improvement root that bad boy and gets your self a custom ROM!

Have you looked through the battery stats list of what been running to try and track it down that way? I've also hers people say if your using google voice and restored it from a backup that it will cause wake lock. Uninstall and reinstall from the market if that's the case.

Also try out CPU Sleeper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745516
This is also hosted in google play.
Description of the badass governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)
Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

Please help with battery drain.

I'm new to the galaxy Nexus. I rooted it recently and put maddoggin's ROM onto it(Sprint). Also I have fh05 radios if this helps. I have tried a few different kernels. I noticed only when the screen is on is when it start its decline. I just took it off the charger at 100% at 1:30 now at 1:50 its at 85%. I really just want the jop40d stock kernel to give that a try but I can't find it. Someone please try to shine some light on this.

40 minutes screen time and on LTE. Isn't that normal for that model?

Holy crap! You have a lot of things running! Usually I only have three or four processes running! I can tell you for sure that the maps app burns a lot of battery in the background, and you need to shut that down and turn off location services! Also, you have the same media bug that I do that I haven't figured out how to stop...sorry I forgot which rom you're on, but on 4.1.2, I had a really go fix by running a certain gapps package, but on 4.2, I'm stuck and that's why I'm online lol...

Just flash Pure AOSP ROM.. I too faced this issue when earlier I flashed stock ROM over bigxie's ROM.ASOP ROMs are very fast and stock type.
I did most of everything I was told and its still draining. I'm even using WiFi now. I guess I will try a aosp ROM and I still would like the stock kernel
do anyone else have any other idea of what the problem is? i know this isnt normal. no one would have this phone is the batter only lasted 4-5 hrs like mine

Kernels put the second core to sleep when not needed. I find it sleeping on mine most of the time. If are talking of disabling it totally, I'm not sure.

I flashed custom kernel, and use badass governer. Now I find my second core sleeping most of the time, and used only when higher processing power is needed.
Just now checked CPU times in System Tuner, and I realize either of the CPUs is sleeping for 87% of the time, effectively meaning that for 87% of time only one core is being used.

Actually I figured it out! im using the ktoonez kernel and if you use the ktoonsevative (dunno if I speled that right) you chanf the governor settings, look for "max cpu lock" and change it to 1...it is only 1 core.
