SetCPU frequencies and govenor not sticking

Running MikG3.11 along with underworld0.8 kernel nohavs noUv:
SetCPU v3.0.7
Frequency and govenor will not stick after setting. Defaults back to smartassV2 or conservative DEADLINE after screen on/off or after a reboot. Any ideas?

Do you have another app, like system tuner, or rom toolbox, that has the settings for frequency and sheduler set for "set at boot"?
i.e...perhaps another app is changing it back

Unless MIK placed something in the system/etc or in the init.d file. It only began doing this when I upgraded to the latest version of SetCPU. Not running system tuner; only running Gemini App which is a task manager and I have SetCPU marked as a Favorite so that it never gets killed. Only other thing I can think of is something in MikTweaks but I havent found any settings related to the frequency/schedulers, only memory settings and i'm using defaults.

Yeah, setCPU doesn't like to keep the CPU settings upon reboot. Just use NoFrills from the Play Store, it's free!

I agree with MBQ,No-Frills CPU is the best one out,its never givin me any problems mate.

Yep. It is the best IMO.

[Q] ARHD with XM Kernel 1.3ghz default?

Hi i have ARHD on my phone with the XM Kernel. I was slightly suprised in the Trickster MOD app, the max clock speed is 1.3ghz. Yes i know i can OC to 1.5 but im not sure what is setting this. When i had ARHD installed with stock kernel it was showing 1.3 as default. I assume that was set by the ROM. But i installed this kernel and still has 1.3 as the default.
Also the default govenor settings for the gaming one has the boost_freq set at 1300000, which is 1.3ghz, that can be changed to 1.5 also. But surely the boost freq would be the max freq no matter if you move the slider to 1.5 in the basic controls? But i would be suprised that the gaming govenor would underclock the cpu, surely for gaming you would want the phone maxed out?
Is this expected with the XM Kernel and the ARHD? And if so, is there any things i can change in the govenor settings to make sure it performs at absolute max?

It's kernel related; Xmisters' kernels since 188 have a hard cap(1.3Ghz) by default, but using trickster mod, or another o/c apk, you can raise it to the stock 1.5Ghz(tick 'set on boot' to ensure it stays at 1.5) The best settings are trial and error, tbh, I use touchdemand/sio though smartmax seems to be the best balance.

Thanks for the answer. i can change it to 1.5 easy enough, but if you look in the govenor control, the boost_freq is is set to 1300000. If i left it at that, would it prevent the cpu from going up to 1.5?

you have sleep (lowest CPU can go), ideal freq(the speed the CPU aims for while awake), touch poke (when you touch the screen), boost (what it boosts too to prevent lag) and max (CPU flat out)
Setting the boost to 1.3 will still allow the could to run at full speed.

That makes sense, cheers. So its probably a good idea to leave it as it is then.

Overclock and CPU settings revert

I have no clue why or how to fix it, but every time I set the CPU clockspeed it reverts back to an old setting. I am on Nameless ROM with BMS kernel, which I know supports overclock as I used it just fine on carbon ROM. I am using the Device Control app built into Nameless. How can I get my CPU settings to stick? Sometimes the list in Device Control gets messed up and I can't view the clockspeed drop down.

I think it is an issue with device control, because with Kernel Tweaker I can set it properly and notice a difference when I change the clockspeed.

Cpu problem

My cpu is scaling to 900mhz, any one can help me to fix this at 300 mhz. I tried a lot of apps but nothing change, is there a tool to modify the cpu freq in the kernel ?

U hv to root ur phone and then install SetCPU...then set the min frequency as 300 mhz

I tried a lot of cpu apps, look no frills cpu, set spu etc.. But nothing change, see the attachment

in general section there is a thread with Thermal Config to prevent lagging and overheating by ravinder003
Use that thermal config

I deleted the red lines in the thermal config too but now i just want to set my cpu min to 300, i juste want to modify the cpu freq in the kernel

What cpu frequency to set for gaming and also for battery saving

In No-frills Cpu set Governor to powersave and also go to nofrills cpu settings and check prevent changes from other apps.
However it may cause unexpected behaviour like hangs and slow down so better stay bit above of 300Mhz.

I tried but the cpu freq is not changing in the scaling_min freq, cpu is min is always scaling on 900, thanks for reply

Delete the thermal engine file. Then go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
There you'll see two files at the bottom ~ scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
Change the values in them. See if it works.
EDIT: Seems like you already tried it.

Thabks for reply, but i can change the value of the cpu min scaling, it's impossible to change, i changed but after a reboot a have always 900mhz min

Check apply on boot in no frills cpu. However it wont always stay on 300 bcoz its based on performance. if you want it to stay near to 300 always then reduce max freq. If it still doesnt work and you are on miui then change your rom...Try using mokee rom.

Tried kernel tuner 2014 and now the cpu is scaling on 300, thanks for reply everybody, thanks a lot for yours answers kernel tuner work perfectly but no frills cpu or setcpu doesnt work perfectly look like kernel tuner

Disabling touchboost feature from kernel

Hi there!
So I flashed a custom ROM for my device and everything is fast and stable. However, the battery life isn't that good. An xda member me that it was because the ROM's kernel has a feature called touchboost, wherein the CPU would run at the highest frequency every time I touched the screen of the phone. Interestingly enough, there is no option within Kernel Adiutor to disable the said feature.
Can you guys help me disable touchboost?

you need a kernel or governor tuner/manager/editor to edit the Touch boost frequency for the currently selected CPU scheduler.

I already have Kernel Adiutor and L Speed installed but there is no option to disable touch boost frequency.

Bronze shovel- I am looking for some touchboost disabling instructions too
