[ROM][08-06-2012] ~×~ EliteMod & Kernel CM7 ~×~ [sd-ext/swap] (ics has own thread)
EliteMod 120316 + EliteKernel 120319
Turbo just got a new meaning.
This mod is a custom ROM based on CyanogenMod7 nightly and modified CM7 Kernel.
The primary aim is to dramatically increase device speed without requiring frequencies above 1GHz in daily use.
The secondary aim is to improve battery consumption where possible by fine-tuning system settings.
The bonus is getting rid of some annoying post-flash steps and settings.
To achieve this required highly experimental steps outside of the scope of Android's security system and direct intervention in userspace.
Be aware that I made this mod primarily for myself, I went to extremes to squeeze the last bit of performance out of my device. Expect no flashy stuff, just raw power and great base for your customization. I guarantee no support whatsoever and any modifications you make to your device are solely your responsibility. It's a good idea to nandroid backup first!
Warnings - must read:
1) Do a nandroid backup, this ROM is not for everyone.
2) Full /data /cache wipe is mandatory before moving to EliteMod, even from CM7! Not kidding!
3) This ROM relies heavily on the bundled EliteKernel. Flashing any other kernel unless I explicitly put a link in download area is probably a bad idea.
4) Flashing gApps or any performance-boosting packages is not recommended. Latest gApps are already included and tweak scripts may in some extreme cases break sd-ext support.
The ROM requires a manual reboot after account setup, you will see REBOOT REQUIRED on screen. Tap it and reboot the device as usual to apply additional tweaks. Any settings done before this reboot may be lost.
6) If you want to do a "Factory Reset" of this ROM, wiping /data /cache /sd-ext wipe is not enough. You must re-flash the zip to really start clean.
The usual: Do not use TitaniumBackup to restore System components unless you know what you're doing. Restoring LauncherPro user data will forfeit fine-tuned launcher settings. Wipe deletes battery stats and recalibration is necessary to see real battery usage. You can backup your battery stats first before wiping - just use my tool - EliteMod will automatically restore the backup and save you the need to recalibrate. If you really want LWP or ADW, mv them yourself from /data/local/ as well as live walpapers and other useless garbage.

Frequently Answered Questions:
- if the phone is not smooth, make sure you only have ONE app that controls CPU active at a time. Daemon OR SetCPU OR System Tuner etc. You can disable other apps by not giving them superuser access.
- changing your locale to english-us fixes the new market issue if you have problems but don't want to flash the old market.
- to save even more battery, undervolt your CPU by following the guide below and my easy to use UV TOOLS package. Alternatively use this program to modify your voltages https://market.android.com/details?id=com.incredicontrol .
- please include your ROM and kernel name if you ask an undervolting question in this thread and you are not running EliteMod

These settings implement my own "Final Fortress"(tm) philosphy of battery management. The speed will decrease progressively with battery discharge - basically this will make your battery last longer the longer you are not charging. The goal is to save that precious last drop of power you might need in a tight situation at the end of a long day. All that without sacrificing speed when you have plenty of charge left. You should not notice significant speed decrease until you hit the reserve @ 15%.
UV hint: If you've built your own stable undervolting table, you can maximize speed with no impact on battery by aligning the max frequencies to your specific voltage peaks. (example: if there are 3 different frequencies stable on the same voltage, always use only the fastest of the group)

NIKER's UnderVolting Tools Manual
Friendly warning: If you use this guide with any ROM or Kernel other than EliteMod and need to ask a question here - mention your ROM and Kernel in your post or I can't help you.
Be aware: This guide and the default voltage file assume you are using EliteKernel, other kernels will require different starting point voltage table.
Introduction:
By undervolting I mean decreasing voltages at which your CPU operates on specific frequencies.
If done properly, this can lead to dramatic increase of battery life with no performance loss, it also decreases CPU temperatures.
If done wrong, this can lead to freezes, graphic stuttering under heavy load or unability to boot without reflashing. Do a nandroid backup NOW!
I take no responsibility for your modifications, burned CPUs due to too high voltage and/or frequency, data loss, nuclear explosions, your girlfriend breaking up with you etc. You know the drill.
You should know this takes time - a lot of time. I spent 3 long evenings optimizing my table but I didn't have these tools to help.
You should also know this has to be done just once and you can reap the benefits of insane battery life with any ROM or kernel that supports undervolting - forever.
Essentials:
I am assuming you have a Windows PC at hand. SetCPU installed (disable profiles and on boot for safety), YouTube installed and Angry Birds or similar graphically intensive game of your liking for stability testing.
Next download the UV_TOOLS package I provided above, extract it somewhere and let me explain what each file does:
tools folder just contains ADB essentials and a simple free unix-capable text editor
voltages.txt - this is THE file you are going to edit and consequently THE file you never want to lose after you are done.
voltages.default.txt - this is a copy of the starting point for your convenience
start_edit.bat - this will open the voltages.txt file in an improved text editor capable of unix line endings, we are going to use this editor to make modifications to the voltage table within voltages.txt. Windows notepad is not sufficient for this task!
undervolt_temp.bat, undervolt_temp_periodic.bat - these two files are your best friends, they will push the voltages.txt to your device and apply it temporarily. It's effects will be lost after reboot. Periodic variation will push the file every 10 seconds, allowing you to always have the latest saved version of your voltage table on your device. Some may prefer the normal variant that will only re-push on a keystroke.
undervolt_persistent.bat - be careful with this baby, it does the same job as undervolt_temp.bat, but permanently so, simple reboot will no longer save your ass after you use this. You don't need to wait until you have all 4548648 frequencies optimized but do not use this unless you are pretty sure you have a stable voltage table.
remove_screwup.bat - did you just use undervolt_persistent.bat and your vision threw it back in your face and wouldn't boot? This will save you - 100% guaranteed.
Step by step guide:
First send your girlfriend to sleep, get a huge cup of tea, kick back, run a movie and connect your device, this is gonna be a long night and a lot of reboots.
Do a nandroid backup. Copy it to your PC, **** happens and we don't want that.
Run start_edit.bat - voltages.txt will open, this is not the stock voltage table, it is my own table with +25 overvolt added to every entry. Let's take a look:
Code:
echo '245760 900' > ./vdd_levels
...this says that for frequency of 245MHz the voltage will be 900mV. Valid voltages for vision are ranging from 750 to 1525.
Our objective is to find the LOWEST stable voltage for each frequency (yes - I know there's a lot of them). If you set it too low, your device will freeze and you will need to pull the battery and reboot (suggest removing your battery cover now). Too high frequency should not freeze your device but they will increase operational temperatures slightly and of course battery drain.
As I said the provided voltages.txt is specific for my device with slight overvolt, so let's see if your device can handle it or not - run undervolt_temp.bat to push and activate the default table. SetCPU to 122-1036 ondemand. Now if by now the device haven't froze, it's a good sign.
Next step we will test stability - connect to wifi and disconnect charger. Run youtube app, run a demanding test video with high quality - in high quality mode. The video should not stutter weirdly and the device should not freeze. Actually everyting should be pretty much normal. After 30s try to run your game instead for a half minute. After that hit the power button, let the device sleep for 30s and then try to wake it from standby. Should any of these steps fail, edit the voltages.txt, increase all the voltages by 25, push the changes and try the stabily test again.
Everything went smoothly? Well congratulation, you have taken the first step towards awesomeness. These settings should already improve your battery life compared to stock.
But we want moar battery! There's never enough when it comes to battery life. Well here it comes.
Take frequency 122880, it is the lowest ever used by your device out of standby. We currently have it set to 825, so let's try 800. Save the file and push the voltages to the device if you're not using periodic updater. Now SetCPU to 122-192 ondemand- it will be slow and tedious, frequencies below 768 can't run videos well so just play with your device a bit and watch for a total freeze. Short freezes that fix themselves are to be expected at those speeds. The good thing is, if your device starts suffering from sleep of death - the culprit is most likely one of these two frequencies - remember that.
Everything went well? Set all frequencies below 122880 to 800 as well. If not, leave them all at 825. Going any lower than 775 is asking for a sleep of death - just don't
Don't forget to always save voltages (floppy button) and then push them using the bat or use the periodic update - otherwise your changes have no effect, obviously.
Now move to the next frequency 192000 and set it -25 to 850. Leave SetCPU at 122-192 ondemand- we always want two adjacent frequencies switching while testing - it is during this frequency change when the device is most likely to freeze. It also triangulates the problem to these two frequencies, making it easy to fix a problem. Test stability by whatever means - no videos yet. If everything works you can try for 825.
Do this for every frequency up to 768.
Undervolt 122-192 then 245-368 then 768-806.
By now you have the sleep frequencies covered and your device should last incredibly long on standby.
Now optimize each and every frequency up to the maximum you want to use on daily basis. For 768MHz and more use additional video stress test.
Hints:
Never lower voltage more than 25 at a time between tests.
Always test with ondemand between previous and current frequency to ensure stability.
Consequently never lower more than two adjacent frequencies in one step - and even that is unsafe (but twice as fast, obviously), missing one unstable frequency means long and tedious testing process to find the culprit - you have been warned so don't try to cheat
Best tests for stability are streaming movies, they stress every component to the limits much more than any synthetic test. Even when SetCPU stability tests succeed, video streams tend to have much lower tolerance for low voltages - the video will stutter before it's even low enough to freeze whole device, do not underestimate this. Also do not mistake buffer stuttering for a CPU problem, the device would eventually freeze if it's CPU, stay close to your wifi AP.
Secondary test could be a game that doesn't stress the device as much - that will test frequency switching. Angry birds worked well for me and its fun
SetCPU profiles:
when you've finally built your own stable undervolting table up to your maximum desired frequency, you can maximize the impact of your hard work on battery by aligning the max frequencies to your specific voltage peaks. (example: if there are 3 different frequencies stable on the same voltage, always use only the fastest of the group)
Does your table look like this?
Code:
echo '368640 875' > ./vdd_levels
echo '768000 875' > ./vdd_levels
In this case always use 768 instead of 368 in setCPU where possible!
Higher frequency will do same work much faster
and in turn the CPU can sleep longer - saving battery.
kewl thanks bud
Isn't umaro an older kernel? Why not use a newer kernel. Just curious
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
A month old kernel is not enough to justify one that is not tried and tested unless it offers something extraordinary. Besides it offers all features one could ever dream of. Smartass, greaselightning, undervolting, very granular OC steps and mainly great stability. If you have a better candidate I will gladly take a look
I've used tiamat kernel it's pretty good and should have vipermod now so you can control voltage

If we can't flash the Gapps over the ROM, then how are we supposed to use it properly? Are they included in the ROM itself?

**** the haters. Bleeding edge is not always the best edge to have.
I'll check into this in the next day or two.
This is really fast, so far no problems except market. I had to replace the new market with old one because it was force closing within 15 seconds whenever I opened it. Anyone else having similar issue with new market? I seem to have it on ILWT cm7 too.
Other than that, I think I'll keep this rom for awhile. Will see about battery life..

same market issue here, anyway the new market has never worked for me on cm7.
the rest is quite flawless, ill see how my battery does later and report back.
That is an old issue and it had an easy fix. If I remember correctly all you had to do was change the language of the system to "English US" in Settings->Language&Keyboard. It happened to some people on CM based roms, not sure about other roms.

go it working right away. thanks for the tip!
Does any body have a quadrant score for this rom yet? just curious.
Quadrant is not the best way to determine anything else than gaming performance but just fyi I reached 3000 points at 1440MHz @ performance, didn't bother to try more.
EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me - 3591 points at 1.9GHz.
The market issue is weird, I am not EN-us myself and it never acted up. I can provide old Vending.apk in flashable form if you want.
As for the screenshots argument - its your regular CM7, nothing special visually except LP.
AWESOME!
This is by far the SMOOTHEST, FASTEST, SEXIEST rom i have ever flashed and i have been lurking for a really long time. Thank you so much for this ROM.
Will try your rom.
would quake3 (kwaak3) timedemo benchmark be a decent way to test gains? I know it's mostly video but still, how to tell between roms?
Sometimes I want to be able to see an actual speed difference from the roms than just placebo effect but it seems hard to find the right benchmark..
Thanks
eagerly waiting for the next CM7 nightly to play some more with it but looks like the automatic compiler has some problems.
kaijura:
Graphic benchmarks will not tell you much about day to day performance.
You need to take storage and sdcard r/w speeds, governor's ability to scale the CPU properly and garbage collecting efficiency into account to tell the difference - they have all been tweaked for better experience in this ROM. Synthetic benchmarks just can't test all of that.
~~~~~ Latest release
A100 - V1.0.0 (first stable release)[Size=+1]
ezT20-v1.0.1-a100_S.zip
MD5: d4febaf119f618afda9c749da4615445
[/SIZE]
**Please remove all undervolting and overclocking before installing, as different kernels will use the CPU differently, This may require you thus to change the OC/UV levels to be stable with this kernel.
While plenty of work has gone into ensuring this kernel was fit for use: I take no responsibility for any problem the use of this kernel may cause, and/or loss of data if you fail to backup your data before installing it. Proceed at your own risk
A100 Installation:: simply flash the zip from recovery, this will extract and replace the zImage (linux kernel) from your current rom; and leave your existing ramdisk unchanged.
A101 Installation: : Experimental support only (this may or may not work): Your ICS rom requires to load the new simdetect_switch.ko module on boot, if your rom dose not have support for this, but has support for init.d scripts please first install the patchkit ezT20_a501_patchkit_S.zip MD5: 617f558555c13d215103cd3669d3c009, (This kit only includes the init.d script to load the simdetect_switch module if it exists, and doesn’t include the actual kernel or modules; Note its labeled for the A501, however ought to work as is on the A101)
After the patch kit is installed (or if it has been previously installed/is part of your rom) you can flash the a100 zip above to install the kernel + related modules.
Let me know if this works out
CM (9 and 10) installation Install per your device above, then install the audio patch init.d scripif you have audio problems: ezT20cmaudio_patch_S.zip MD5: 26251900115b0ca433f26f4d95e7f269
Are you an A500 user? you are in the wrong place see here
~~~~~ Kernel Features
- BFQ IO scheduler (details here)
(BFQ is now the default scheduler, previously was noop)
- Lulzactive CPU governor (by tegrak with a500 modifications by myself)
(Interactive will be the default governor for most roms, as defined on the ramdisk)
- Max OC speed: 1504MHz (default 1000MHz)
- Min OC speed: 216MHz (default 216MHz)
- Fixed voltage tables to allow OC on devices previously unable to on A500-OCTestV3 and A100-OCTestV1
- initial 3g support thanks to patches from Vash (v1.0.0 - a501) .. switched to acer's code in v1.0.1 (a501/a101)
- ability to disable acer audio settings (v1.0.1)
~~~~~ Kernel Notes/Warnings
** A specialized lulzactive configuration program can be found at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZWdyYWsubHVsemFjdGl2ZSJd
(note setCPU will also let you change the values, I only mention tegrak's app as it may make it easier to understand what is being changed)
** The kernel ought to work in place of the stock ICS kernel, roms requiring special kernels may not function with this kernel
** de-odexed roms may have graphical artifacts that are made more serious by this kernel, civato and I have been working on a build.prop tweak to re-generate odex like dex files on de-odexed roms to solve this
** Voltage display may not be accurate (a rework of the UV logic is planned) note UV offsets are accurate.
(for a quadrant sample on the a500 see the related post

~~~~~ Change Log
v1.0.1
*) Import of acer's 3g code [A101 and A501]
*) audio updates to better work with CM roms when cm audio patch is applied ezT20cmaudio_patch_S.zip MD5: 26251900115b0ca433f26f4d95e7f269
*) Allow lower min-voltage
v1.0.0
*) cleanup graphics logic with more patches from the nvidia tegra test kernel (and other patches to prevent the graphic under-runs causing screen flashes on some roms) [applies to all devices]
*) modify lulzactive (yet again) to attempt to stem a rare deadlock .. frequently resulting in a SoD overnight on my tab (probably not most peoples constant SoD problem) [applies to all devices]
*) Add Acer A501 patches for 3g modem [applies to A501]
*) fix some touch events on the A50X caused by the a100 patch set rolling back the a500 touch driver, the touch drivers are separate so this ought not impact the a100 [a50x only]
v0.9.9
Initial release, providing some bugfixes and new features to the previous OCTestV3
~~~~~ Developers Corner
The building instructions for this kernel are identical to the ones for the A500, except that instead of using picasso_defconfig you use vangogh_defconfig (from the same codebase and same commits)
Therefor rather than copying the instructions here, and attempting to keep them in sync I recommend you review the original "Developer Corner" post in the A500 thread.

I saw some patches (noted you mention it before) looks interesting but requires some work for our device.
May be trivial but requires a hook added to our touchscreens not just the ones from whatever device I grab the source from .. hopefully I will figure it out in the future.. there are still one or two things such as the UV logic I wish to cleanup first.
Wow! Are you sure is BFQ governor is stable? maybe SIO?

Given many have been using it on android now for a long time (kernels started using it as the default on the htc dream in cupcake days) not to mention its following of other linux usrers and the patch sets are well maintained..
Yes its stable.. more than deadline on our kernel anyway (also in the codebase but not in the build, got tired fast of the random reboots).
But if you rather noop its still included. Its horrible however when multiple apps access flash.
SIO is described as being bad timings on flash and a combo of noop and deadline.

When I was testing bfq seemed stable and benchmarks just as fast as noop. Keep in mind it was a test kernel so it was an earlier version so I would imagine it would do fine. I ran into no IO related issues during testing. Tested on my A100.
Oh here, lulzactive, BFQ 1.5ghz -145 UV all the way. Not my best, not my worst.

Yeah I can report no SoD dispite trying. I left wifi on and keep awake off and left it charging for 16 hours. Fired up like normal. For those wondering....for me I find leaving wifi on always and leaving it charging can cause it on other devices.
My wife ran it her way as well, no issues. You kinda have 2 testers at this house lol.
No freeze, reboot, crashes or force close in normal usage and heavy usage. A100 at least shows its probably ready for release into the wild.

How many of you play stressful games while being over clocked? I just picked up this tab yesterday updated to ics rooted n noticed n64oid was a little laggy. After installing this kernel bumping up to 1400 eliminated all lag. I just wanna know if I should worry being I play lots of games on here.

v1.0.0
Version 1.0.0 is out See OP for the download and source links
This version improves stability on the A100/500 systems, plus adds experimental support for the A501 devices. (the a501 information is in the a500 version of the kernel/thread, a100 users ought not be impacted by these changes)
Already had a few times where when my screen times out by itself it takes me almost 3-4 mins to get it to come back on. Is this the governor issue? I was using lulz. At 1.5. I didn't noticed if this happened on v.99. I switched to interactive to see if it persists.

I've never seen that on v1.0, nor heard reports of it till now: on previous versions 0.9.9 and the testing versions I have seen such things when the system became busy, and became stuck at min frequency.
Avoid screen off profiles, lulzactive automatically reduces speed to the 816MHz when the screen is off (assuming that is less than max) lower than that background tasks may take additional unexpected time and delay the device from full sleep where the cpu turns off.
Otherwise what rom are you using, any large apps running, logcat? dmesg? (logcat will tell us if its something installed, dmesg will show what the kernel did.
Well I'm on stock ota ics 4.0.3. Just your kernel when this happened I was just downloading SD data for n.o.v.a 3. Happened every time the screen timed out. It also happened on a multiple file transfer from internal to SD when I did the dirty swap for more space. Would maybe switching the governor for screen off fix this? To like on demand or interactive. To get a logcat I would need to replicate the problem using adb correct? Never actually did one before. I don't have anything special installed only large files are games. That's pretty much what I use it for along with internet.

Known BugsSplash Screens will only work on TouchWiz
Working on finding out the cause of these issues. Please report bugs in either of the Team Kernelizers threads.
This is still in Beta, more is yet to come!!!!!!
Kernel InformationGeneral Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF FOLLOWERS @Maybelle
I've been following along and will be so bold as to put in my two cents worth. I am a general/vascular surgeon. I got into Android because I was pissed off about a tablet I had that Toshiba wouldn't update. That lead me to y'all in time. I cannot say enough about how much respect I have for the Android and XDA development community. You truely "stick it to the man" while making the platform better.
I have been following the events related to Exit_Only and can say that while I have a hard time understanding the details of what is evolving I do understand that he, as well as all of you on the TK team, have helped me and my ability to communicate with my patients and my colleagues using a phone that does a lot more than its manufacturers or carrier would have it do.
We have "kanging" in medicine too. As a matter of fact it is written into the Hippocratic Oath IMO. What we do not tolerate in medicine is claiming credit for another doctor's work, although we are free to use it to benefit our patients as long as we do not claim glory for ourselves.
Kudos to EO for defending his hard work and kudos to all the rest of y'all for rising to his defense. I would be proud to support a TK website if that is the direction you wish to go in. I only wish I was more knowledgeable and could contribute in a more technical way. With your help I will get there.
I'm sorry if I am off topic but I had to speak.
*Users with Ktweaker settings reseting: Freezing system tuner and or rom toolbox is a possible fix for either min/max mhz, scheduler or governor resetting in Ktweaker. Another way could be making a backup of your settings, clear data on ktweaker, reboot and restore settings twice as not all apply right first time and reboot again with restore settings immediately at boot.
*Ktweaker Issues if on Kt747 Kernel: could have issues on roms like Freegs3 and it is noted that if you prefer to use Ktweaker to set your settings vs script than make sure no conflicting script is running for example check /system/etc/initd/ for 70tweaks and remove or place somewhere for safe keeping to prevent conflicts with Ktweaker for example min max changing or voltage tables, governor or scheduler. This script in the example is Freezas script to set phone based on screen on and off and current battery level for example of some of its functions, there is nothing wrong with using scripts nor is there a problem with this script in particular. Just be aware there will be conflicts if used in conjunction with Ktweaker and or setcpu and the like.

General Tips for faster UI
-enable Hwoverlay and force gpu rendering (leave out Hwoverlay on touchwiz to prevent a noted video playback issue)
-Disable animations and transitions on launcher (or set to as fast as possible)
-Use Launcher options to force launcher into memory like in Nova Launcher (Thanks Pberge)
Create localprop and force app in memory thanks nonato
- Go to terminal type su hit enter
-Type all of the following and hit enter to add an app to local.prop and force it in memory. Nova Launcher would be as follows. If local.prop doesn't exist the command will create it.
echo sys.keep_app_1=com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1 >> /data/local.prop
-(Thanks nonato for posting this trick in Seeder thread.)
Fix Gtalk fully disable if it was removed and causing a wakelock (needs credit need to find poster of this)
Cyanogenmod Based tweaks
-enable memory management options
-disable dithering (dithering on smooths color transitions off can show a banding effect) (if not on a CM based rom the use dithering 0 build prop has same effect)
-16bit transparency (close to half the bandwidth needed for 24/32bit color)

Stop MPDECISION on a 4.2.1 Rom
- Navigate like in this pic to system/etc
- Open initpostboot.sh
- Go to line 223 (i use droidedit free at play store to edit the file it makes it easy to find line numbers)
- Place cursor in front of mpdecision and insert a #. Save the file and exit and reboot. Thats all thats necessary to prevent stopping mpdecision from starting or showing errors over and over in logcat on Android AOSP 4.2.1.

- Gtojim and I are running these without issues. Tested on freegs3, cm10.1, Paranoid android and PAKman (#*has not been tested with Morphology need feedback*#)
-credit for the build props goes to Rom Toolbox and an XDA member Custodian. Thank you Custodian.
http://db.tt/q7S1s8yp
- Directions same as other build props we have listed. Until we have an easy install script this is for advanced users only who already have experience editing build.prop. I will always suggest using rom toolbox to do so vs manually editing your build prop file. Do not add all of them in without checking if the value exists already. You don't want double lines that one says the line and true and the other false, its hard to say but one may override the other. THIS IS NOT A BUILD PROP IT IS A SIMPLE TEXT FILE WITH ALL THE ONES I USE. THE BUILD PROP ENTRY IS TO THE LEFT OF THE EQUAL SIGN AND THE VALUE USED IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE EQUAL SIGN. YOU MUST SEARCH AND REPLACE OR ADD THEM MANUALLY.

Systctrl settings via Init.d (requires kernel with init.d support or enable initd with RyuInfernos apk link at bottom) (tested on same roms as Build Prop)
- * Thanks Zeppelinrox for talking some settings over with me.
- Help entropy pool
- read_wakeup_threshold to 1366
- write_wakeup_threshold to 128
http://db.tt/NilQsqG6
- Init.d for systctrl with the above set already and other optimized values
- Here guys this one is without anything special for entropy the values related to it are set to default on this one
- read_wakeup_threshold 64
- write_wakeup_threshold 128
- randomize_va_space 2
http://db.tt/rHcNuTfR
- Instructions:
Download. Using a file explorer, i like es file explorer go up from internal storage with a root explorer till you are at / you should see system, sys and much more. Go to /system/etc/initd/ and paste this file in there. Select it and go to properties of the file and select permissions. Change them to rwxrwxrwx. In other words enable read, write and execute for the three options user, system and other or whichever they are called. Now exit and reboot. Now at boot systctrl are applied. These are the presets system tuner sets plus a few tweaks by Freecharlesmanson (if you see him please be sure to give him thanks) and a fix for entropy where noted above.
- What is changed in the two systctrl (initd commands are as follows in the above files except the settings mentioned) (you can pick and choose and make your own initd script):

Great job galaxys3man30, well written, easy to understand.
WIFI TETHER APP
I'M understanding that people are having problems getting it to work i will explain what you have to do there a few steps that you have to do to get it to work
STEP 1: Always make sure you use the wifi tether that is baked into your settings the one in your toggles want work
STEP 2: Open it up and for the those of ya'll that's using it for the first time it will take about 45 seconds before you can use it because its has to get all the permissions from SU so once that is done tap on the wifi sign and start broadcasting the tether
STEP 3: Now you need to hit your menu button on your phone and you will see access control tap on it and enable this will let whatever you wanting to connect to the wifi tether see that it is there
STEP 4: Now go to your laptop,gaming system and etc etc and click on android wifi tether that is your phone
STEP 5: Now go to back to your phone and open up the access control and you should see mac address and ssid there with box's to be check them these are the device trying to connect to your tether now that you have check the box's hit apply at the bottom of the screen and that gives your device access to the internet
Hope this helps everyone that is having a problem with it
I'M always open for suggestions please let me know what ya'll want to have a how to on and i will get one up on it
Thank you to everyone involved to figure out and provide this for us.
Thanks for the great write up. Very easy to follow.
3 questions.
1: What is TPR?
2: What exactly are the process you had us stop used for? Just curious.
3: Do I want to run a particular I/O scheduler? I am using your suggested current Ktoonz governor tweaks.
Thank you again,
Whiteice
Thanks for this! Went ahead and stopped the mpdecision with the mw86 tweaks, Koonservative gov and bfq scheduler. Time to full charge and give it a run

TPR is another rom called The Peoples Rom
The 2 files that are renamed r stop because they cause bad battery drain with ktoonsnative gov and the mpdecision is stop because it keeps core 2 going even with the tweaks I have posted so you stop it to keep core 2 running on the tweaks saves battery more less
We have found that bfq is about the best one to use but you can use whatever one you want to you use bud

This is still in Beta, more is yet to come!!!!!!
Kernel InformationGeneral Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that

Here you will find all of our tweaks to the kernel. We are providing these pre-configured settings as a means to assist S4 users with further improving their overall experiences on this already beast of a phone or to simply use as a baseline to work upon tweaking further. Please Keep in mind that results will always vary per device regardless on the settings being used. Apply what works best for you and your phone. We're here to help eachother out and with more options comes better experiences for everyone running the KT-SGS4 kernel. Big thanks to ALL who have contributed!
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" file. The "Adjustments" file is just for easy view of all changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone. In case of .bin files, optionally rename the file(s) as .txt
2. Copy ONLY the profile(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" file) to /sdcard/KTweaker folder using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open Ktweaker app and click on "Restore Prefs from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Choose the one you want to apply.
5. After applying, make sure the "Set options on boot" setting on the main menu of KTweaker has a little green text bellow confirming that the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
Balanced Bull: Reloaded (updated: 11~15~13)
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and has gained an incredible amount of feedback. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
https://copy.com/6DYYijYNqifx
Nightmare To Remember
This will likely become your beautiful, never ending nightmare.. It offers a unique balance between battery and performance but unlike Balanced Bull, it is slightly more performance oriented due to the more aggressive scale up to max CPU. However, only 2 cores will be used for the majority of the time so you can still enjoy a nice buttery smooth interface with just enough juice to last you through the day.

Bless The Child v3 (updated: 10~25~13)
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
https://copy.com/CZdfHiaZEOAu
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
https://copy.com/xWpFNDtIsQHe
Day Of Reckoning
Very similar to Nightmare To Remember but is aimed slightly more towards battery without deteriorating much of the performance. It is based off the Pegasusq governor.
https://copy.com/vynBURHcsOUl
Dead By April v2.2 (updated: 11~15~13)
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further . It now focuses more on snappiness but still maintains it's well known battery conservation. It manages to maintain a smooth ui for your average daily use.

Project Icarus by @mamba720027
So some may wonder why the name "Icarus",why not Hyper Performance or Deadly Good Battery.
Well the reason and to begin explination,short history.
Icarus is a greek mythology who is seen today as a mythical pioneer that tried to conquer the skies.
I like that mythology cause it kinda corresponds to my own saying "fly high or fall hard" which means to aim high or fail trying. So their you have it folks and thus the profile name "Icarus".
And onto explination of each profiles.
The first is "Performance" which is catered for straight out performance with also good battery performance.
This one is for when u dont give a rats flying balls about battery really and just want everything super fast and smooth. But you maybe surprise of battery performance. I recommend everyone try this profile first. My current favorite
The second is "Conservative" this is for those seeking performance but also better battery performance than the first.
This one is the middle man or lady as u may want to refer to it. It gives the best of both worlds,performance and battery. So if the first leave you stranded then fear not, this is the one to turn too
The third is "Kamikaze" which means "god wind". It either knocks the daylight out of your Galaxy S4 due to its high undervolteing and mean intent on Battery Performance but still snappy.
This one the undervolting is of my personal voltage table that runs stable for me with other tweaks. If it runs successfully for anyone else then battery performance may be great.
This one is for those that likes the thrill of trying something new and unsure if it will work

Undisputed 3 (updated: 12~11~13)
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
https://copy.com/H0FUiELjgegB
ECLIPSE v2 (updated: 10~25~13)
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
https://copy.com/fgFWgW30IE38
Asking Alexandria
Another battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.

Project Daylight v2 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Day Light is focused mainly on battery conservation. I felt that its useless if its not smooth and lags alot so I add performance into the mix createing a profile that offers both while its first and foremost goal "battery performance" is still preserved and not diminish. This profile is yet unique and on a different level from my early release of "Icarus"
The contents are 3 profiles unique in their own way, "Daylight", "Daybreak" and "Experimental" along with a "Extra" folder containing wallpapers I created on our S4 for fun while testing . Kind of gives me some inspiration and sense of feel of what my objective is.
Daybreak is a crossbread profile of my Icarus Performance profile and Daylight. Its simply utilizing the performance power behind Icarus Performance profile while useing Daylight profile governor settings as its core to boost battery performance
The experimental profile is heavily undervolted/Underclocked with tweaked scheduler and governor. I taught if some of you could run it stable then it may produce great or mix results

What Lies Beneath
This is an extreme battery performance setup in which essentially transforms your quad-core device into a dual core device.
Why "What Lies Beneath"?
You'll find that during light to moderate operations the cpu remains at lower frequencies for an extended period of time and will only jump to max when needed. Although it's clocked at a max of 1.3ghz it maintains a surprisingly smooth and snappy feel to your device at such low frequencies. This is where battery life is also expected to come in to play as well.

Ktoonsified v2 (updated: 12~23~13)
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez! This is a performance oriented option in which also offers a great deal of battery life. Haven't tried these settings yet? then what are you waiting for!! Load em up and be prepared for one of the smoothest and snappiest experiences ever!

Sleeping Dragon by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Sleeping Dragon V2 Single Core
This is a single core profile aimed at consumeing the least battery for a time when you will be away from home or at work and away from the charger. It was a profile i played with at first as i did not expect it to mount as much with apps and system UI needing a right amount of performance from a CPU to meet todays tasks in performance. In the end i was able to tame the dragon and make it work as best as possible to achieve its goal
Sleeping Dragon V1 Quad-Core
This is the counter part of Sleeping Dragon V2 but with many tweaked parameters to make it a fully functional 4 Core base profile in hopes to achieve close or same battery performace as its single core entity. Unfortunately i still am not sure if it measures up but what i know from previous test with settings @Stock it hold its own in battery department. I am pleased with the results although i would wish to see some light usage results from users.I must give credits to Luigi for useing parts from his Balanced Bull Script, and Undisputed 3 Script and part from my Crimson Dragon Script. I am pleased to present users with this 4 Core or Quadcore profile

Hydra
Eclipse and Kamikaze clash with one another in this hybrid profile (BIG thanks to @mamba720027 for the amazing work done on Kamikaze!). This is perfect for those who favor one or both of these profiles. With the merging of some of the essential performance and battery elements of each profile as well as a few minor adjustments, this one also stands as it's own profile and it flies!.

Ghost Rider by @galaxys3man30
this setup can benchmark on 1890,1944 and 1998 and its been really good on battery even thou its a performance setup think im going to call it ghost rider cuz its a sleeper yea it shows good battery life but behind that is the raw performance that is on demand when needed.

The link to at least the flashable recoveries goes to a Galaxy S3 thread.
That is pretty dangerous to link to that from here as someone is going to try and flash those on his GS4 without reading thoroughly first.
If your first post is a work in progress and you just copied from your gs3 thread to get the formatting you should put a big disclaimer at the top warning people not to use what they fins here until you are done.
Just dont want to see someone yelling at you because they werent careful about what they flashed.

You just know some goofball would have flashed an S3 kernel and bricked his phone and come here blaming you saying "Well yeah I saw it was for the S3, but you linked it in the S4 thread so I figured I was safe! It's your fault!"
Theres an aroma bug i am facing, if i try to scroll down soon it wont let me, i get taken to first choice.

I have this on my international S4 so you have confirmed both GS4 models have been effected. It's aroma itself. I'll let @RErick know and hopefully one day aroma has better touch drivers for us.
For now try this method I have been doing. Hold a finger low on the screen and drag up but do not let go with that finger. With your other hand, use a finger to tap the selections you could not get to. This helps where before you'd scroll and let go and you would be back where screen position started. Hopefully that helps eek the install through. For each section you must hit none for all installs you would like to skip or the installer will not continue as you go through the options.
Please continue reporting issues, this is greatly appreciated.

Great thank you ^.^
Working good so far btw I think lol, I have not gotten the chance of looking at ktz original setting, i flashed you guy's tweak after the first boot. Will post up a screenshot up in a min here of everything i got so far. I choose the AOSP balance setting in the aroma I believe it was suppose to be with ktoonservativeq and noop? but when I booted it was row..(so im not sure if settings were actually flashed or not?) I know for sure buildprop was edited.
Also, can I get some information about the section with crossbreeder? Is crossbreeder install alone? Because in that section of the aroma it gave you option to uninstall, I did not choose that, I believe I choose the first option. So that means crossbreeder is install along yes?
Battery seems good I believe. 1 hour screen time with 14% battery of normal use is not bad at all
Benchmark not as good as I had hope for a balance setting. But they rarely matters for me so its not that big of a deal

The ktweaker back ups should be labeled but are not yet. They are from GS3 I should get some GS4 ones with RErick in about two weeks. I would try Raw Intellects file he posted some posts back for more performance via kernel settings.
I would try setting noop again if that is your preferred scheduler. It is always great on battery.
If you have 99TKmod and 98Cron in your intid our systctrl loaded as well.
Yes based on your selection you have the stock crossbreeder mod installed. I will get you link for info on crossbreeder. The uninstall is included for users with the stock crossbreeder installed and want to install our tweaks, both included crossbreeder versions were modded to work with our whole setup, the one labeled modified though only has entropy generation enabled and extra crossbreeder features disabled such as dns boost/tether boost/adblock and governor tweaks of which for some users have caused lots of issues so we included a version which after second boot on modified crossbreeder version is finished being setup automatically but must wait about 4-5min to be sure the scriot for it ran before reboot. So for you with the stock crossbreeder installed which has been made fully compatible with our setup, you are all set and should be running as normal for you.
Ill get link here for crossbreeder thread for info for you.

Looks good. Temps can greatly effect bench scores and also a balanced setup will always score when good for battery about those ranges. For more performance you can try @rawintellect setup for ktweaker gs4 version few posts back.

Addon was originally only available on Venom HUB but i decided to release it for everyone to use.Here is copy paste of description and changelogs from the HUB.I will update thread as i update it on HUB.
Also big thanks to @hamdir for testing my performance profile on various games, he will also post later hes review, pictures and comparisons to stock.
This addon is designed to save some extra battery, and reduce heat.Magic is done in 2 files:
1:Thermal-engine is tweaked in order to provide much better sustained performance and cooler phone, without big impact on performance.
2np file is another key component, its HTCs CPU/GPU/EMMC/MODEM and many more control engine.Here many tweaks where done, but gonna quickly list some of the important ones:
-Per app control, automatically suspends 2 BIG cores, and runs on 2 low power ones, it also limits the GPU speed to lowest.This will do only for some most commonly used apps, like Sense Prism, Nova launcher, Apex, other HTC apps, various chat programs(hangouts, facebook, messanger, whatsap etc), YouTube and some more.. as those apps dont require a lot power.
-Screen off is set to 2 low power cores for nice standby times
-Power saver is tweaked to actually save some power and not just lower screen brightness
-Extreme powersaver is also tweaked down to save even more power
-Input boost frequencies are also lowered (CPU ramps up moment you touch screen)
-And alot of other minor tweakups..
Also its recommended not to change anything CPU/GPU related in any other apps, like EX and just let this files do the job for you.
If for some reason you dont like this mod or have any problems with it, installer includes revert to stock option

Performance Profile
I've worked with @ivicask on optimizing gaming performance for the 1.80 base via the performance profile for this mod, in this post i will explain the gaming problem on stock HTC 10 and how this mod/performance profile solves it
by default HTC aggressively cripples the Snapdragon 820, not for the sake of thermals but for the sake of extending battery life, what happens is the following:
Stock CPU behavior on HTC ten (up to 1.80 base):
Starting with 33c battery temp CPU tasks will gradually migrate out of the big cluster, around 38c one of the two big Kryo cores (which enjoy higher clocks and bigger hardware cache) will be completely disabled, HTC smartly hides it in task migration rather than physically shutting down a big core
This means in CPU intensives games like Dead Effect 2 you will notice a sharp drop in performance/smoothness once the fourth core is killed, the game will drop from the 60fps range to 30fps, this behavior is noticeable in many games, if you are on complete stock you can only game at the full s820 speed if you are starting from a cool idle battery temp like 30c but then in about 5 minutes things will go downhill, considering that the HTC 10 idle state in average use is around 35c anyway you can see how most people probably start gaming on the 10 within the crippled state
Previously the only way to fix was to flash EX kernel with CPU migration hacked and already set by default to 60% limit, meaning EX kernel will refuse to let HTC 10 migrate tasks out of the fourth core under 40%, this is a good solution but you are forced to use EX kernel and not the stock kernel plus wait for the kernel source so that EX is updated whenever an OTA is rolled out, this mod will allow you to fix gaming on HTC 10 without touching the kernel plus it's thermally safe as its not a hack and will still gradually slow down the 10 to cool down, but it does so in a sane way
The performance profile in this mod was thoughtfully optimized by profiling the CPU usage in Dead Effect 2 (currently one of the heaviest games on the playstore) from 30c up to 45c, giving you enough time to actually enjoy this game at its full speed up to 30 minutes
The following tests will show you how the HTC 10 behaves in gaming when warm vs the performance profile, profiled using @ivicask tools and game benched in short sessions, the exact same level played from the same starting point to the same end at the same length of time, this level called "return to space gardens" is one of the heaviest sections in Dead Effect 2, at the end of this test you can see how performance drops to the ground because it meets a very dense and tough section in the game.
Stock kernel / PNP / thermals, Dead Effect 2 at 39c
The fourth big core is completely killed, GPU goes to 510mhz, small cluster drops to 1.3ghz, big cluster drops to 1.5ghz
As you can see on pure stock 1.80 base by 39c the games loses one of the big s820 cores and performance drops from 45fps range in this level to 30fps (which happens way too fast) also as seen in the yellow graph how performance stability is terrible, after 40c it will get even worse
here are the results from the same level using the performance profile of this mod
Performance Profile, Dead Effect 2 at 34c to 38c
full tasks are still running on all cores, GPU at 624mhz, small cluster still at 1.5ghz, big cluster drops to 1.5ghz
Performance Profile, Dead Effect 2 at 39c to 41c
both big cores drops to 80% task migration, GPU drops to 560mhz, small cluster still at 1.5ghz, big cluster still at 1.5ghz
Performance Profile, Dead Effect 2 at 42c to 43c
one big core sticks to 80% task migration the other big core drops further to 60%, GPU drops to 510mhz, small cluster still at 1.5ghz, big cluster still at 1.5ghz
Once the device gets warmer after 43c CPU migration will drop to 60% on both big cores with further reduction in GPU speed etc, but at this stage the HTC 10 will no longer heat up as fast and as you can see up to this point it was maintaining almost the same performance in this game; while keeping fairly high GPU clocks too; this is a much more subtle well thought performance degradation than HTC's stock blind brute crippling of the s820 which happens way too fast on low temps
This profile is so good actually HTC should probably copy it and imitate how it deals with default CPU migration, otherwise why are we buying an s820?

Addon was originally only available on Venom HUB but i decided to release it for everyone to use.Here is copy paste of description and changelogs from the HUB.I will update thread as i update it on HUB.
Also big thanks to @hamdir for testing my performance profile on various games, he will also post later hes review, pictures and comparisons to stock.

@ivicask
does it work differently from butterfly v11?
or say does it conflict with butterflyv11 if you have already loaded that profile and flash this zip?
thanks for another tweak made possible for Perfume devices

Completely different, it uses HTCs native engines to control everything, u can basically flash this on stock un-rooted phone
And doesn't require custom kernel, it should work immediately as new bases come out etc..

aah okay cool...does it conflict if i have already enabled butterflyv11 which disables pnq or its safe to flash while using that script

Half of this mod runs in PnP, if you disable it, your making this mod almost pointless.
Also, as i stated, this mod runs best standalone, its best not to use any other mods, or apps which change anything CPU /GPU related.
You can still flash EX kernel for example, i just dont recommend messing with any CPU/GPU related settings in it.

cool so this would conflict as butterflyv11 disables the pnp
would try this and see :highfive:
hey
great to see you released this for all on xda!
I have a question. since you wrote on the ex kernel thread that pnp config file is encrypted how come you can edit it?
or can you englighten me how i can just disable all Input and touch boosts from pnpmgr while keeping pnpmgr?
i think that would be the best for my script but i wasn´t able to do so.
i found no other way to stop the touchboost other than disabling pnpmgr completely.
maybe we can integrate my interactive values with your mod? if you are okay with this of course!
thanks

I cant give you much details on how i edit them, theres reason HTC encrypted them, if we spill it out, HTC would change encryption and everything very soon i suspect, so hope you understand why i wont share that part.
I can disable input boost for you, but im still not sure how your mod works along with PnP, as PnP constantly changes values dynamically, if you chmod values, than PnP constantly tries to change freqs and fails(may cause some problems).
What i can also do, is incorporate your changes directly into my mod, and make "ghostpeper" profile which would work directly in PnP, and people can choose and test which one works better for them and their daily usage.
EDIT:You could simple disable input boost by echoing 0(maybe chmod remove write permission after that so it cant change it) to
/sys/power/pnpmgr/touch_boost
/sys/power/pnpmgr/long_duration_touch_boost

yep i totally understand this. it would be however great if you could disable Input boost for me directly in the pnp binary.
i already tried to edit the files you mentioned in sys/power/pnpmgr. when i did this I got heavy lags. really heavy. i think something is conflicting there.
yeah the chmod trick worked before base 1.80. i would simply chmod the min freqs for big and Little Cluster and touchboost from pnpmgr disappeared magically. this trick is no longer working with the new base. that´s why i was forced to disable pnpmgr.
if you want to you can incorporate the Butterfly values for the interactive governor in your mod. I think Butterfly works far better on our 10, that´s why i just updated Butterfly for base 1.80.
does pnpmgr also edit the values for the interactive gov dynamically?
if you could make a pnpmgr config where touch/Input boost, Setting min/max freqs is disabled i´d be quite happy.

you may also just edit my script and comment out with a # or delete the line "stop pnpmgr" then the pnpmgr conflicting part will at least be removed.

PnP controls everything u mentioned, all your butterfly/ghost scripts has, and about 10x times even more
I checked your script, you just echo to disable input boost, try chmod it after you disable it with denial permission so it cant be changed..
Should work, if not i can mode PnP for you, but above would be better solution for you..
Maybe others might ask too, sometimes I'm using it too for a systemless mod: do you plan to add it in as a systemless mod, if it is possible?

There is no need for that, it wont affect android pay or similar, why exactly you ask?

well, just related to OTAs, but that might be unimportant as you can flash back to original files, or restore no-RW mounted system image backups.
Or am i lagging behind, it's working to have a RW mounted system and do OTA updates? I don't follow that part much, my bad

Its so much easier just to restore original image, i think wont do it systemless, as they are key system parts, dont want some weird things to happen..

OK.
I'm testing balanced option at the moment.
Also, i know I'm off topic, but in the end what's the recipe: what does and what doesn't affect androidPay. (I'm lagging behind again in this topic, just avoid modifying system partition in my kernel as it seemed to affect it at that time... as i don't use androidPay I didn't follow what exactly makes it unworking).

It checks alot of things, and its constantly updated, its simple must be done for security reasons..
Okay so I tried it with 444 permissions and it still lags. Should I try 000?
Would be great if you could make me a file with touchboost disabled and frequency changing disabled.
