I want to know how to disable CPU cores to save power. It was possible on my nexus 5. but on my nexus 6p and now on my htc 10, I'm not sure if it's possible. I read that it's would need a kernel rewrite or something along those lines.
So does anyone know how to do this? I'm running latest LeeDroid ROM if that helps. thanks :good:
That's what I also wanted to know about the 10.
I had the mind before and there I could run with only one core, if not needed the other three cores. But if I needed power, the 4 cores are running.
It would be great, if there is an option in kernel settings to run all the cores only if they are really needed.
So the 10 is only a battery eater... Especially with sense roms I don't come through the day without charging.
On CM 14 or AOSP the battery is much more better, but with better core management it would be famous.
anyone got any info on this?
less cores doesn't mean better battery life, look at u11, "octa-core" and getting better battery life than 10 and anything else. it's een like if you have less cores, the cores which are online have to do all the work and might end up with locked max freq which will result in heat and more drain. so just keep the core control like it is and maybe just underclock

It is possible to disable cores with the custom kernel, and I believe force them to remain off at boot, but the HTC 10 uses a big/little cluster CPU setup and disabling cores isn't how you want to conserve power in my humble opinion.
The HTC 10 and some other modern devices uses BIG.little core ARM processor technology.
So the hardware and software is optimized to use all the cores to chase the best battery life and performance. I'm guessing that unless it's very specific usage scenarios, if you manage to force disable the cores with a custom kernel, you'll see both performance and battery life drop.
I would highly recommend installing a custom kernel, and tweaking the kernel settings while letting the hardware make full use of the BIG.little cluster system for efficiency. For high performance, I'd recommend one of the sense based kernel's that uses the HTC PnP Manager system. Something like Flar's ElementalX or TBalden's cleanslate kernel.
For battery efficiency, since you're really wanting to customize things for the best efficiency and battery life, try out the Helix kernel, by zeroinfinity. It's using a technology to optimize control of the processor based on "EAS" technology. EAS stands for "Energy Aware Scheduling" and zeroinfinity has written his "Helix Engine" to control the power profiles and thus power consumption of different apps, and you can customize the profiles to put any other apps you have in the profiles you want them.
This was a very basic and non technical summary, you can find tons of info on the kernels in the OP of each kernel thread. I would recommend making a backup with TWRP and trying both ElementalX and Helix kernels and seeing what works best in your usage scenario, before you start trying to force disable cores.
Here's a quick article I found on google, I'm at work and only briefly skimmed it, so no promises it's any good, but you can google BIG.little procs on Android mobile devices to find more imformation. https://community.arm.com/processors/b/blog/posts/ten-things-to-know-about-big-little

was a good read, thanks! based on the quote from below from that website sounds like the little cores can drive the most battery savings the most .... which is my goal.
The LITTLE cores can be implemented to target lower leakage and a more moderate performance point, independently from the physical implementation of the big cores that are often tuned for higher frequency.

and seeing that you were a tester for helix htc 10 kernel, is it designed to with stock based ROM or just any magisk based ROMs? I did see that ASOP is not supported.

Stock based sense roms. I just use it with regular rooted builds of leedroid or viper. It works with magisk and has been built to be fully compatible, however I use it for my normal modded system rooted sense based rom with supersu. I don't use or set up magisk, I'm still kind of old school.
But if you were to use magisk, @ZeroInfinity is running magisk as his daily since the last several builds, and I don't believe it's got any bugs or anything that doesn't work in the magisk build. One of the other team members @p50kombi knows a lot about magisk if you need to know anything further, I just have very limited magisk knowledge I'm general.

Great I also use supersu not magisk, probably same old school thing...also too tough getting things to play nice with magisk IMO. So for supersu do i just install v012 r1 systemless kernel and it should just work w/ leedoird? did you notice any functions on lee droid not working?
also do you underclock? recommend any kernel managers?

It's version 17, you'll download it from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73068312&postcount=1216 , sorry that link you had shouldn't be there, but systemless is the magisk version but now there's only one version, and the Aroma installer will let you choose the normal non-magisk version.
In the installer, there's a question that asks about installing custom scripts, I use the @ZeroInfinity script, the one from @roger81 and @TotallyAnxious are good too so you can't really go wrong, but I recommend starting with zero's, and you can reflash to experiment once you get going good with it. Rogers is great for battery life but his is a little more custom and extreme, which is why I'd start.
I use EXKM kernel manager, but I really recommend not changing many settings at first. Definitely leave the governor default with this kernel. I would run it like it comes out of the box, and see how your apps and battery life goes, and if you have apps causing a lot of drainage, maybe add them to the helix engine profiles before you start changing clock speeds.
You'll notice with EXKM the core frequencies reported in real time will look different from how it looks with a stock based kernel, but don't let that scare you.
My only other recommendation is if you use any other power saving apps like greenify or doze (I don't use any of them personally but some do) I would first get used to the kernel without them, so you kind of have a better idea of baseline.

Bonus points for being the least confusing AROMA installer I have used! and I used zero's as well. thanks for all your help! and one last thing.. isn't doze built into android nougat? or am I highly misinformed.

It is you're correct, but there's a lot of "super doze" and dozingest doze around" sort of mods and tweaks people use, it's the extra modified stuff I would avoid for now, until baseline is established. However once you get things ironed out, @RogerF81 (if I spelled that Right) has tons of good info on further tweaking. He once tweaked his battery life to something like 7 or 8 hours screen on time with the Helix EAS kernel. That's just showing off.
Glad you like the Aroma installer, it nearly killed the poor dev trying to get it set up when he first started implementing it, he still probably throws keyboards if I ask for a black theme lol.

Here is updated Thermanager, which could be flashed in recovery. I have made some changes after I played Asphalt game for about one hour. With this update, on performance governor the temperature never went higher than 58. And we are talking 1 hour straight. I doubt you can have that on stock. What was interesting that performance governor produced less heat than interactive, which supports my claim that when cpu jumps frequencies, it creates additional overhead.
Now, regarding myths and fiction about stock rom not overheating. There are some dudes on this forum who complain that their Z1 overheats to 70+ on custom roms when they play their beloved games; on stock, they say, there is no overheating.
Here is a short answer. You, guys, don't know what you are talking about.
Custom roms (and custom kernels) give you tools that are not available in stock. You just have to learn how to read/use them. Here is one example: some roms allow you to have internal cpu temperature on screen. Now that you have it, you watch. When it hits 70, you panic, but if you touch the back door, it will be barely warm. So, when you are on stock and without temperature reading, you think your phone is not overheating, while it can still have 65-70.
I used a modified version of M5 kernel compiled with GCC 5.2.1 Ubertc; CPU at 2457; performance governor, inteliplug balance with touch boost disabled; GPU overclocked to 600 with msm-adreno-tz idle wait 30 and workload 3; swapiness 10; enthropy 1024 read/write. That was on DU rom, but I bet the result would be the same on Jaguar and some other custom roms.
lol, that dude is Me, and I will try this, in the stock rom I can see an process running as overheat manager or something, I think it might have to do something with it. I'm sure that my device got heated very much, I didn't meant to offense but you seems to got it wrong. btw I will try this. I use Jaguar atm.
Thanks
I don't think that my phone won't reach 60 C on stock, but I like watching YouTube, so I can see how fast it warms. (I have xposed module that shows me cpu temp even on stock). And as much as I can say my phone warms faster on custom roms than on stock. No matter what governor I use.
Also all animations (like status bar showing) are kind of laggy on custom roms. I don't know it it got better in past 2 months, but last time I used custom rom my phone reached 50C even only with chrome.
Interesting thing is that this all (including animations) is not present on 3.10 kernel, but there are no usable roms at the moment with 3.10 kernel, so I have to use stock.

Overheat manager: whatever it is, all it does is throttling and thermanager does the same on custom roms. So, the trick is to throttle enough without you noticing any lags...

It's a YouTube app. Really? It's weird, maybe I'll try, but I can see the difference on battery time when I come home from school - on stock I have ~70% and on custom roms I have ~50. Anyway I'll try and report after few days.
Okay, I can say that custom roms are now ok for me when it come to battery life. I compared usual usage of mine on stock and custom roms and now it really gives me same battery life. The only change I made this time is that I used DU instead of Jaguar and this thermalmanager settings.
Though there are still two things that bother me on custom roms: laggy UI - I don't know what causes that, I tried changing lot of cpu/gpu thing to sort it out, but nothing helped. And the other one is headset connecting - I have to press and hold (for a little while) all the buttons on headset to get it recognized.
I'm returning back to stock, but I can say that now is overheating on custom roms gone.
Thank you, @optimumpro

OK. Nice to hear that about battery life and overheating. With regard to lagging: it is not cpu, but rather animations. Either disable them completely in developer options or in DU you can go to tweaks and pick and choose whatever animation you want. I just disable all animations and have absolutely no lag.

Btw Anyone tried antutu with this kernel ?
So far, so good.
I did not yet install the custom powerhal or whatnot. What does it even do?
FYI: You have to reroot the tablet after installing this boot.img.
Anyway, of the performance profiles the high is the only useful if one watches youtube. All other profiles results in occasional jerk/lag in the video.
Deep sleep battery consumption so far has been minimal for me. Usage battery consumption might be a tad higher, at least with the high profile, which is the only useful one unfortunately.
This kernel like f1xy and Foxy all suffer from the same wifi problem that when you wake the tablet from deep sleep and wifi is turned off (wifi option Keep awake: never), it takes 30+ secs for the wifi to activate and reconnect. You can't even enable the wifi by yourself during this time, you basically have to just wait...
I haven't run any antutu etc test cos I don't care what the numbers say. All I care is how it works and feels and how the battery lasts.
I'll keep testing.
I am running LOS14 with the new blobs. Which reminds me, I think I get more of the graphical glitches now than I did before. But this all too subjective atm. to say conclusively if it is the kernel or not.

I am not sure what you mean by "system" in this context.
The particular wifi issue I mentioned above does not happen with a stock kernel, only with custom kernels. And it is the only wifi issue I have encountered. No breaking off, nothing else, just a slow reconnection after deep sleep. But if it is a necessary evil while changing the kernel, so be it cos with stock kernel I have much bigger problems and I rather use a custom kernel to get more fluidity of use.
Spassiba for the kernel komrad!
does this kernel support vulkan API?
I ran into a same kind of issue I have with stock kernel; After waking from deep sleep the mipad is usually slow as hell for a minute or 2. Like everything is lagging. A bit like a cold engine which is warming up.
Anyway, I moved back to F1xy cos of this which doesn't suffer from the same issue.

Hello there guys, I've started to use this phone a week or so, and I tried a bunch of different ROMs and finally I have settled with Dot Os since is the one that worked flawlessly for me, but here's my question
How long does your battery last?
I've seen older posts complaining about this phone battery. But I wanted to check with you guys that have been using this phone with custom ROMs.
My battery last very poorly, most days I need to recharge from 2 to 3 times in the same day, I don't play games, but my screen time is long I suppose, I use it a lot to look up things in the browser or to read posts on reddit mostly.
Since this is a second hand phone I thought it could be that the battery had run its course and that it was time for a replacement, but even with a new battery the performance still far from desirable.
It's very hard to compare, because it depends a lot on your ROM, kernel, adjustments and usage !
On my side I bought the phone (a6020a46) more than a year ago, and I use it for my work with Bluetooth for the headset, but I don't use much games or browser, so it lasts around 24 hours...
Really the developers have stopped thinking about the battery life, custom roms are more focused on performance and smoothness now a days. I am watching temperature of my cpu its always above 42 C even on using whatsapp it gets heated. I was searching for Kernal with hotplug like stock kernel but didnt found. All CPU cores are working Tirelessly consuming tons of battery. I wonder whether no developer can develop a battery saving kernel with better management of cores like stock kernel developed in 2016.
It could be the ROM, but since I'm not sure what to expect from this phone in trying to first figure it out if my battery is in fact OK, so you guys recommend any app or method for that, I'm using Accubaterry and according to it my battery health is fine, but even though it can't last a whole day on the other hand I can't complain about performance, it really is fast and just works (DotOS)
Edit : yeah I think that the main source of battery drain might be the ROM itself, I've been lookin at kernel adiutor and by default all cores are always on with the minimum frequency of 960 MHz

Only kernel with hotplug turning the cores off by default I've found is the one that comes with AEX 5.7 by Harry.
See this post:

Also he added a core control to manage hotplug values.
You don't like (for whatever reason) cores being offlined all the time? Ok, go to core control and set the properly value to switch all the cores on as you like.
If you want low battery consumption, I would suggest to stay on Nougat, it's not a troll it's a fact

Honestly I don't really care if it's nougat, oreo or whatever, I'm just looking for a stable release to use as a daily driver for a while since I can't keep flashing a new ROM every day
@shubhgoan, @ghst7 here's offlining hotplug working properly on Oreo AOKP, by using Dragon Elite v1.4 kernel.
As many others custom ROMs, no way to hotplug the cores without using a custom kernel wich support that feature.
I'll be testing how much the battery lasts now.
@walterfuster let me know how it's goes, BTW can you tell me where did you find DE kernel v1.4? On the Dev section I have found only version 1.2
In the meantime I'm using AOSPEX and although the hot plug behavior is not that aggressive, it works and I already have noticed an improvement in my battery life

STEPS:
flash DE kernel doing the cache/dalvick wipes previously.
install this app:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329056791
(similar to KA)
open it and goto CPU Hotplug->Hotplug Style and select "Per-Core-Hotplug".
That's it.
Now check with CPU info overlay cores automatically being turned on/off according to needing.
@shubhgoan I corrected the link. Sorry for that bro.

yes, it makes hotplug work, turning the cores off and on independently, depending on the cpu load.
I'm in stock rom, thinking about changing to aospex, i'm just done with 2 hours of battery from the stock rom, but I've never made any custom rom stuff... So, what's the best battery life/performance rom out there?

You will have to flash ROMs and find the one that works for you, from my experience AOSPEx, Dot Os and AOKP are all pretty good, if you wish to improve your battery life you can also flash DE kernel

Hey @walterfuster sorry to bother you again, but can you answer one last question for me, are you using an external SD card? And if so is your SD card formatted in what extension, fat32 or exfat?
I'm asking because I'm using a 64gb SD card formated as Exfat, and every time after I flash DE kernel I lose access to it, I mean the system still recognize my SD card but when I navigate to it, it shows no files, they are still there I just can't access them, I just want to be sure before I have to make a huge backup to format my SD card as fat32, I'm on AEX 5.7 btw

Hi guy, oh, I don't use an external SD card, so, I can't check anything for you.
BTW, I've also tried PB2 kernel with AOKP (completely compatible), and no chance to hotplug. It's a shame, man. because it's a great kernel: no random reboots like DE 1.4, and also has overclocking!
So, only way to get hotplug on any custom Oreo is by flashing DE v1.4, AFAIK.
I also attempted a crazy thing wich was replacing AOKP boot, with the one from AOSPEX, in order to run AOKP with AOSPEX kernel, to finally get hotlugging, but, guess what: DIDN'T work. Just got an endless unicorn boot logo
Thermals, Kernel Managers and their affect on short and long term battery life.
As requested, by fellow LePro 3 owners, I created this thread for a discussion on the benefits of thermal management, using manual thermal settings, and sharing flashable thermals and user settings. To be clear I am not yet an expert on this subject, so I am learning along with everyone else. But, why not share the experience?
Of course we want our phones to last, while also pushing them to their limits, but in a safe and efficient manner. Recently our developers have shared their ideas on thermal management, and they have been gracious enough to allow us access to their own settings, that can be used across multiple builds. See the link below to download the first set of flashable thermal management options.
Recently, some of us have encountered shutdown issues, with some roms having battery stats reporting issues, unexpected shutdowns, and unrelated unrelated lockscreen issues. We users have found that often these troubled builds can be fixed by flashing a fix. Such as the thermals from a previous or other builds that did not have the same issue. Fortunately, it appears that we can use alternate perf and thermal management files that have not only offered a quick fix for some of these current issues, but also offers a longterm solution for using old, new, and future roms builds...collectively. :good:
The plan is to make this discussion much more extensive and simple
So consider this initial post to be an ever changing rough draft.
The end goal is to make it much easier for people to access and share their thermal management files or settings in one easily found central location, and hopefully for everyone to share their suggestions along the way
Helpful to Gamers who want safe power and speed.
Helpful to Non-Gamer's who want simply want stable performance, long battery life
Help everyone by helping us learn to optimize our phones to last for the longterm.
For me, no more repeating the same stuff over and over on various Rom threads, or private messages. No more having trouble digging through threads to find a recommended thermal or setting. So please participate, we can keep the OP updated whenever anything new comes along. Should I get access to something new I will add it to the Megadrive and make a post
Inventory
So far we have the thermals from Lineage, AEX, Balkan, AICP, EUI and in my view one the best is the latest by Jabashque. The idea of this post is to share the thermal settings so that they can be used on whichever ROM you want to try out.
Finally, you do not necessarily need to use these thermals unless you have an issue with general usage, heat or battery life. However, you will immediately notice the benefits.
Edit ( Updated Info)
Regarding kernels: Personally, I use BlackScreen 6.3, it has a long list of governors and I like options.
Currently the best thermal option is the Jabashque edit ( Thermal Fix 7 ) Get it Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78717015&postcount=18
These thermals work!
Over the past 2 weeks, I have gone back and tried several old ROMs, and these thermal and profiles make those old Roms perform so much better! For example, the September 3rd JMXL version of DotOS.: Yes, Its outstanding with the Sergey thermal. BootLegger's is also much improved, and it was already pretty great as it was. The Miui ROMs, are significantly improved by far! etc.
Of course we have so many great Roms. Occasionally, we get a build that is experimental and it may have unexpected issues. We have seen over the past week that flashing an alternate thermal is a perfect way to save the installation without having to revert to an earlier build. I mentioned old Roms above, they also work on every single Pie Rom.
Here is My Mega Drive Link for all of Thermals that I have collected so far

Jabasque's thermals are in the Jabashque folder. Version 1 and 2 :
Probably shouldn't result in any difference if not gaming.
"Most likely, it would only be noticeable if you're not throttled down to 1440/1900MHz and you're running something that's using 100% cpu" ( Jabashque)
What to use
If you are wanting long battery life and low temperatures use Sergey's thermal or JaBashque version 1
If you want stock EUI faster throttling but slightly higher temps use the ShivateJappedi EUI thermal.
If you want to leave your cores unchanged from the default setting with higher temp throttling, more full power access and yet still safe while use JaBashque 6 Its a rework of the EUI 30s thermals designed to work better on modern Pie Roms : See more information here: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_leeco_zl1/+/238809
Soon, I will create a post in the reserved section below to deeply define the details and differences between these thermals. Because while they all have similarities, they are also very different from one another.
In addition, I plan to add various kernel manager settings for various uses : Gaming, Long Life etc.
Finally, even when moving to another Rom. kernel manager programs such as Ex Kernel Manager will allow you to import and use saved profiles. It seems that it is possible to save the best of each of these thermals by saving the profiles of each. We can share those settings! Then later you can manually choose within your kernel manager which settings you want to use by simply importing choosing a preferred profile.
I hope this clears up the confusion. As mentioned this is a work in progress that was requested by 3 people. This is just the beginning of this discussion that will help everyone understand how to use Kernel Managers and the add-on thermals patches. I need to do some further research to make it all worthwhile . For example, although I love the elementalX governor, I haven't researched it enough to explain why I think it's better. So I plan to find out specifically what it's actually doing vs what other governors do, and how does changing sample rates, and wake locks affect performance and battery life etc.
If there are any experts out there? Please chime in and contribute.
See Updated information from Jabashque, which explains the differences between patch 1 and patch 2

Installation
Dirty flash the patch that you want to use..thats it.
If you want to try a different patch, dirty flash the Rom, reflash Magisk and dirty flash the patch
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
Update from JaBashque Edit April 21 2019: ( I use ThermalFix7, its my personal favorite/ it is the best and the safest period.)
@tsongming
Hey, after seeing your thread about thermals, I felt I should write an explanation about how my v1 and v2 differ from stock EUI thermals that you could add to that forum post, since the one you have on there was me describing the difference between v1 and v2, not stock EUI: "JaBashque"
There are two different set of sensors that the original config monitors for the CPU:
the CPU temp sensors (tsens_tz_sensor{4,6,9,11}) and xo_therm_buf. The CPU temp sensors measure the temps of the cores themselves. xo_therm_buf measures what seems to be some sort of overall temperature, though I'm not sure what in particular. However, xo_therm_buf does correlate more directly with how hot your phone feels.
Original:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine slowly throttles all your cores to 902MHZ little and 825MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C.
Patchset 1:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 85C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 37C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1440MHZ little and 1900MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 34C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1132MHZ little and 1363MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 50C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 979MHZ little and 1132MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 43C.
Patchset 2:
thermal-engine throttles your CPU down to 1516MHz on the little cores and 2054MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C.
This change was made because I realized that the previous version still had a situation where the CPU performance can tank unpredictably. xo_therm_buf-related CPU throttling is same as Patchset 1.
Thanks to JaBashque for sharing his work! Patch-set 2 is my personal preference. Although the Sergey Perf + Combo is also very good.
@tsongming
Thank you very much for listen us and always give your help.
Rigth now I am on BaikalOS 28th December 2018, if I want to flash any Profile of those, what I should to do (Clean flash? This first, later that etc... and Wich of them I should ti flash for best battery, I do not play on movil)
I am very curious for test this...
I have x722, I do not play. I am now on aex 5.7 oreo. The most depends on the battery, so which zip to flash ? This is a great topic.

You can dirty flash these thermals.
Personally I like Sergey and Jabashque version 2 the best so far on Pie roms.
The Shivate patch works really well on Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo.
The Sergey patch works really well on Oreo and Pie, I haven't tried it on Nougat Roms yet.
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf and In this same folder ( vendor/etc) you can also make audio changes, and I am not talking about policies and Tasha.xml files, although you would make changes to those files too, if wanted. This will be something that we can discuss in more detail soon.

Either the Sergey or the JaBashque 2 with be perfect, depending on what you want.
Use Sergey if your goal is battery saving.
Use JaBashque 2 if you want better gaming performance.
@tsongming thank you for this useful thread. I just have one question. I noticed that sergey's thermal file you uploaded comes also with perf so do you know is it maybe EUI perf and if not is it possible to upload just sergey's thermal without perf? Thanks.
I'm using aex 6.2 and i play a lot of games, but i looking for something that gives the power to run the games and after that (of course after some time without using the cellphone to cooldown) use the phone without worry of him overheat with simple use like 39 or 37 ºC. Do you have something like that?

Sure, I can extract the perf, I will do that and add it to a separate folder so that there are two options.
Edit: Here is the Sergey thermal only
I removed the perf and added the additional key edit options from the Jabashque patch. So this a combo patch.
Use at your own risk
However, I have tested this and it works fine. I wanted to give the caveat that I am a Noob at this! But its okay. FYI: all I did was remove the perf, so now the perf will come from the rom and I added the Moshe key feature, which some Roms such as AICP includes anyway.

If you are not having any issues, then don't install any of these.
However, if you want to try it, keep a record of your existing performance, battery life, heat levels for battery and CPU (when idle) and compare that against using these thermals.
If you flash one of these thermals and don't like it. You can quickly return to your previous settings by dirty flashing your rom, or by restoring the system part of a nandroid backup.

Understand that you still have to setup your kernel manager. If you are wanting to use it for Gaming use the JaBashque version 2 to and leave the cores on the highest setting.
Yes, it works. It works for me a and a lot of other people on Telegram
If you want low temperatures and long battery life underclock the cores at idle my battery hovers around 85 F and the CPU are around 100-105F
Just so you know you can access your thermal.conf file and edit it manually to increase your thermal limit in /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
Next, save a copy of your existing current setup as a profile, so you can easy switch from one to another with ease and easily compare it to the changes of using an alternative file. You can tweak it to the settings that you are wanting...Just keep safety in mind or you could burn up your CPU.
UpDate!

Sorry I haven't been on XDA much recently, and never received the notification.
If you use Bootleggers, the stock kernel is fine. But blackScreen 6.3 will work fine and it gives you more options. You flash the thermal at anytime. I recommend the Thermal-fix7 which is Jabashque 6 that I edited to fix a typo. No there is no conflict
Hello guys,
I am writing this to convey to you my wish for an updated Kernel Standalone. I recently started playing with the ramdisk, edit and creating my own kernel profiles. But I need more.
Of the current kernels out there, the one that caught my attention the most was the xd-kernel, I don't know if it will be because its forum topic is very striking and such ... But it was the first. I have been investigating, and I have realized that the version that I use (1.7) does not bring the CAF files. I didn't know what the CAF files were, until I came across a folder containing 3 sd845.dbt files in zip 2.0.2 of the xd-kernel.
That's when I realized that those files are direct kernel updates for our SOC.
I quickly realized that although I believed that the 1.7 kernel was better because it could raise the gpu frequencies above 710mhz, it was an outdated kernel and without direct SOC support as such.
The TNO kernel has not been tested yet by me, its forum post is very simple and it did not catch my attention ... but today I checked that it has CAF files and that it was published in December.
I have doubts about this kernel ... can gpu be overclocked?
Does it bring recent optimizations such as improvements to the CPU_governor?
Improvements to the Schedutil?
Drivers improvements?
In short ... What this kernel brings, that the xd-kernel does not have (not counting the CAF files).
And finally I wanted to ask for help ...
As I see that no one has the intention at the moment to update those kernels, or to create a new one ...
I would like someone to tell me where to start, for me to create my own kernel for this soc, tips to improve the soc (like the issue of Wakelocks, Oc, implement CAF files ...).
I do not intend to create a kernel that everyone should install. I have never programmed and they seemed to me like gods doing things to a kernel, like putting spectrum and things like that. But there is always a first time for everything, and this time it was my turn to begin to understand how a kernel worked, how spectrum is implemented and what settings are related to governors and I / O schedulers. But I need more, I need to compile a kernel that I say: Damn, if this kernel looks like a kernel from the "pixel3" forum, very complete and well-founded.
Hopefully someone will listen to me and teach me where to start, considering that I have not done this in my life. But reading and reading I have ended up here trying to be better. I think that if I have the necessary means (documentation and links on how to create a proper kernel) I could create something good that will work for all of us much better, but I am satisfied that it works well for me (as I said I cannot pretend that everyone uses my job).
Well guys, sorry for my english, thanks for reading and a hug to everyone (with mask hahaha).
Some questions what you should ask yourself are:
You want to create kernel for stock system? Or for some certain rom? To Android 9 or 10? What improvements do you want to bring?
I know you want to made it for yourself, but you can share your work to other people if you want.

Thanks for the reply
I would like to create it for the Stock Rom as the Evolution X team is doing a great job on AOSP.
I would mainly focus on Pie, I think it has more support currently, twrp ..., and then it can be ported to 10.
Improvements:
-Unlock CPU / DDR / GPU frequencies
-Import current CAF files for sd845
-SlimBus OC
-Wireguard
-Spectrum / Franco Kernel implementation
-Latest Schedutil governor uptades
-add good governors and I/O schedulers
-add support for misc features like zram compress formats, latest linux security patches...
And can be imported other features from kernels with same SOC devices like pixel or oneplus6.
I would have no problem sharing work with someone, I would rather have someone correct me for what I do wrong, than have a noob direct the project alone. I know there are many here that I am proposing, they do it in 5 seconds, but I don't have much idea and I need time and reading.
Hugs bro.
When I flashed the TNO kernel it gave me issues. My status bar would flicker non stop. Performance increase wasn't noticable and there is no overclocking the GPU. Most importantly, it didn't give me the options of different governors like the XD Kernel, and I/o schedulers.....having Zen and Maple with the XD is great. The one thing the TNO Kernel did have that the XD kernel lacks is Wireguard support, but I never got into that anyway. I would like to see another Kernel that gives us some of the options available to the V30 users, with RCTD disabled already. Beast Kernel, Konverged Kernel....others have so many options!

Wow thank you for the reply!!
Ill see these kernels, but my doubt is the compatibility with our device, is the same SOC, ok, but we have different screen for example. What do u think about this?
If it really works, it would be a great idea to port a v30 kernel. Looking at xda, I realize that the xd kernel looks a lot like one called SmurfKernel or something like that, from the OP6 device,
I would even say it is a port.
I found that kernel is not the same, is SD835... f*ck
Ill search on v35 forum
Update: Have 5 or 6 threads in v35 development :'( and saw 7 pages on v30 forum, what a forum lol.
Hey buddy! Long time no talk! I hardbricked the G7 so I took 2 broken moto G6's and made one working one into a 64bit beast running Android 11. Ive been really busy but finally found the time to revive the G7 with QFIL. Starting from scratch, I flashed the TNO kernel, which wiped out Magisk, but after a reflash it actually runs really smoothly. The XD kernel has too many errors to count. It's built completely wrong. If you monitor your gpu, you'll see the worst of its flaws. The TNO kernel runs really well, and although it doesn't have all the bells and whistles other kernels have, it works correctly. I must have had too many modifications already yheyr'=[
