They stay on. I've managed to get core 2 to actually turn on. Wait for phone to phone let it be a sluggish mess for about 10 minutes re-enable core 2. It'll turn on and then instantly off and kick back on slightly after. (I've done this after re-flashing my rooted image, flash fireing xposed.)

What app are you using to access those settings?

thats very weird you are seeming to get that issue! Try another cpu control app perhaps. I havent had that issue of core 2. Maybe change the gov. or freqs of cpu and what not to see if it finally enables.

[Q] CM6.1 wake issue

So i just swiched from virtouos ROM (sense) to CM6.1 and i am having a problem.
when i first flashed virtouos, sometimes my phone screen wouldnt turn on with
first attempt but after setting profiles on setCPU it was fixed and didnt happen anymore now with CM6.1 i am having a slightly different problem the screen doesnt turn on when i am receiving a call (it rings though) and i have to press the power button couple of times to get the screen on. i have already set some profiles on setCPU ,i am just wondering if there is any fix for it ?
Thanks
Only thing anyone can probably suggest is turning up your min clock speed. What are your profiles set to?
My screen off is 245/368 just to give it that bit extra to guarantee no wakeup issues, not that I had any to begin with, better safe than wanting to throw her up the wall (I get annoyed easy).

Doesn't sound normal... did you make ANY customizations at all? Or did you install CM straight up and just use it like that? Any adjustment to "performance settings" or CPU clocking? What SPL and radio do you have installed?

no i didnt make any customization its just CM6.1 although my max clock speed is at 1497 mhz
setCPU
Screen off max 368
min 245
and profiles for temp and battery as well
the wierd thing is it doesnt happen at all when im just waking the phone up it only happens when its ringing i am thinking its my CPU issue ,i dont think it handles overclocking well ,i couldnt go over 1.1ghz (it would freeze instantly) with virouos that was the main reason i switched im gonna play with with cpu profiles for a while and see if i can get it fixed.
btw i have never flashed any radio so im guessing its the stock one
wow this is very intreasting its actually fine without any setCPU profiles
i had something totally different in my mind.

With my experience I've noticed the phone runs better, and lasts longer on a single charge WITHOUT setCPU profiles. Just my opinion

[Q] Trinity Kernel settings

I reflashed stock JB kernel the other day and found my phone to be running very smoothly. But I can't stand the colours on my purply screen, so back to Trinity (latest stable release).
The problem is, I'm getting a lot of lag and jerkiness on Trinity. Google Now takes forever to load, responsiveness takes a hit, and it generally feels like that whole "Project Butter" has turned into cold chunks of margarine.
I did buy the Trinity app to change settings. Is there anything I should be doing with Trinity that would give me stock-like smoothness and performance? I have a feeling there is some default setting in Trinity that is supposed to be helpful for some users but for me it's just killing the experience.
Or alternately, would I get better results with Franco?
I had similar issues. Not flowing very well , reboots and crashes. Also even though I bought the trinity app changing the clock speeds made the phone very very unresponsive. Tried many times to install it but no luck. Swapped back to Franco / glados (tried air kernel which was nice for battery but a bit laggy)
Franco also has trinity settings you can play with

Me personally had a better experience than Franco. But all the phone are different and some might like trinity and some might like Franco. Seems like yours like Franco more
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Personally I've had ridiculously good results with Trinity - with 384 GPU, not 512 (1536-384-Stable35). Absolute butter even when I have very resource heavy, multiple, tasks running - and havn't had a forced reboot, freeze or anything of the sort even once. Interactive/SIO, min 307, max 1190. Everything else on default (except screen colours/gamma which I changed to my liking).
That said, if the 384 GPU is also not working for you I suppose you can give Franco or the other kernels a try, every phone set probably responds a little differently to each kernel.

try using supersu instead of superuser. also, update your busybox. a lot of people have issues with root apps obtaining su slowly with superuser on jelly bean, which leads to lag.
I have good flow with trinity kernels. No lag or unresponsivness

Already doing both, thanks for the input.
I'm using 1344/307 and I also previously tried 1536/384. My phone seems to have some overheating issues so I don't want to crank it too hard... Just want to get close to stock performance.
I'll try interactive / sio. Are those essentially what the stock kernel uses?

i like ondemand/deadline. overheating.. whats your cpu temperature? most think that their devices are overheating when it falls in the normal range. tkt comes with widgets(in the app drawer widget menu), put the no background cpu temp widget on your homescreen and youll also get a cpu temperature reading in your status bar. at 100C the thermal throttle will kick in to lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. the safety shutdown temperature is 110C, your cpu will automatically shut down at that point. 110C is only reachable if you turn off the thermal throttle in the tkt app and you are benching your phone at a high oc. otherwise, i wouldnt worry about overheating.
The other thing is I get lockups every day or three. Today I rebooted the phone and plugged in the charger while it was rebooting. The moment the screen went off the phone was locked up. Power button would not respond. Unplugging/plugging the charger did not light up the screen. Had to do a battery pull.
In fact this happened again a second time in a row. Is there a reason the phone is locking up immediately after boot if I have the charger in? I'm trying it again a third time with the charger out, letting the screen auto-sleep before I touch the phone. Okay apparently it has nothing to do with the charger.
EVERY time I start the phone up now, if I don't unlock the screen myself before it auto-sleeps, the phone locks up and auto-reboots again. WTF??

are you undervolting at all? which yrinity kernel are you using? did you happen to use franco kernel before using trinity? try using a different charger too, ive had similar issues with a certain charger before too, until i started using a different charger.
Despite the fact that I disabled "Set On Boot" in Trinity Kernel Toolbox, it does seem I'm still set to interactive/sio on boot. And check out the logcat I captured over USB when I was doing a reboot and it locked up:
http://pastebin.com/sSe9eFXT
In particular to trim out just the TKT lines and the last few lines before lockup:
Code:
D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Boot Completed
D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Set file permissions.
V/LockPatternKeyguardView( 299): Set visibility on com.android.internal.policy.

D/TKTBootHelper( 1853): TKT: Versions match, let's restore settings.

Function: AndroidIPCSocket::Connect Return Code: -26476533 (0xFE6C000B) Descrip
tion: ANDROIDIPCSOCKET_ERROR_CONNECT_FAILED
So it would seem that right after TKT says "let's restore settings" it locks up, if the screen is off, when set to interactive/sio. Huh?

See my post immediately after yours.
No undervolting at least that I know of. I tried cranking max screen off frequency up in case that was the cause, and tried going back to default CPU settings. Still does the same upon reboot.
But I can confirm that if I uninstall TKT completely and boot with Trinity Kernel, there is no screen-off lockup. Whatever settings were being restored by TKT were causing the phone to freeze if the screen was off. I'll leave it at that for now and give it another go when it's not so lovely and sunny outside.

delete the data for the tkt app(main phone settings, apps). dont use set on boot, its usually not a good idea. my screen off is set to 307. if you are overclocking, you have to disable smart reflex mpu or you will freeze and reboot if not other issues. turning off smart reflex is very important if raising the cpu speed. otherwise the device will try to automatically set the voltage too low for the cpu speed and itll cause freezes/reboots.

I didn't overclock and I didn't undervolt. What is smart reflex?
Set on boot was DISABLED, let me emphasize. Yet the logcat shows TKT restoring settings, followed up very soon with a lockup.

smart reflex is a built into stock, it controls your voltages. the thing about it is that it doesnt know overclock or undervolting, so if you overclock or undervolt, it restores voltages for stock cpu speeds. which causes freezes if youre trying to overclock by setting the voltages too low.

did you try clearing the tkt data, or uninstalling it and reinstalling it? honestly, this is the first time ive seen this behavior. do you have any other cpu control apps installed?

Yes, set on boot is for critical settings only, like frequency policy and voltages.
All trivial settings are always restored as they were set.
What ROM are you on? I jumped into the middle of this page and missed it.
Side note, if it's settings being restored, clear the app data using the option in the menu.

Again, pure stock flashed straight from Google, except for Trinity.

Reporting some weird sh*t that went down

So I was running stock rooted with jamesbond kernel and voltage control. Everything was fine, then I swapped batteries and rebooted. Once rebooted I noticed a lot of lag, so i went into voltage control and somehow everything was all messed up. My normal setting was i/o-deadline with interactive, running at 1200. But for some reason it was i/o cfp with hotplug and a max freq of 350 (same as the low). obviously this was the problem so I went to change the max frequency back up to 1200 and the phone froze. I tried rebooting and couldnt get past the google screen.After some wipes and restores, I ended up having to restore back to codename (only one that didnt hang on google screen). Everything there seems to work other than stock email which wouldnt open (error) so I had to reinstall the app from one of the other roms I have on my sdcard. But things seem to be up and running at the moment, just wanted to post this in case others have come across the problem. I'm thinking its voltage control and maybe it doesnt play well with this phone, needless to say I wont be using it again. Guess I'll just stick to custom roms that have kernel controls built in.
Possibly battery. Change your voltage settings.

[Q] Black Screen

I am running Pac Rom 10/8 and every few hours I'll get a black screen when trying to turn the screen on and I am forced to hard reboot the phone. Anyone else having this problem? I want to know if it is a common problem with 4.3 roms since I never had this happen when I was running ZVC. I even clean installed 10/8 and didn't dirty flash to update it.

Optimus G E971, KitKat ROM, and Heat Issues

So I ran into a peculiar problem.. I flashed my E971 (Unlocked, Canada) and I successfully installed the KitKat AOSP rom. No problems there. However, the optimus G has problems utilizing it's cores and it heats up, therefore, as we all know, it is recommended to keep the phone in EcoMode..........PROBLEM: There is no ecomode in KitKat rom! So now the phone heats up and I lost something like 40% battery power in one hour of use last night and I had data off, location off, sync off, brightness low, the only thing I had on was wifi.
Anyways, I can surely flash back to stock ROM but I really don't want to. Can someone recommend an app to manage the cores or some way to put the phone into "EcoMode" like was possible with Android 4.1.2?
I tried a few CPU manager apps but they mostly say "You phone doesn't support multiple cores"

If yu have installed Houstonns AOSP rom then yu can use Trickster mod app to turn off cores....hot plug is available....ECO mode is nothing but dual core mode....this one solve the heating issue..:good:

Luckily it has Houstonns. Are there other apps out there that I can try out beside the hot plug? How does one replicate eco mode? Simply switch off two cores, or lower the frequency from 1500 to 1200 and lower?

As far as i know trickster mod is best if yu search in free apps list.... And faux clock app in the paid list.... Also i think 1026mhz is fyn.. Im running stock with eco mode on nd running at 1026mhz freq in all cores...!!..
