(Rooted) Improve performance

(Sorry i'm not good at english)
My phone Mi Mix 2s has been reduced performance on new update. I tested by Antutu has 220k points on first time, 200k on second time and <180k on the next times. I used dev rom miui 10 global 8.7.12 dev
Then, i useed Root explorer and go vendor\bin and vendor\etc and changed the name of all files thermal-engine....
Then i tested Antutu and it reached 260k points.
(I don't know how to post photos, sorry!)
Good luck, everyone!

You think that it is a smart thing to do?

So i say you should tried, not you must tried. Ok?
It is quite hotter, but i'm fine with my phone's performance

So what do u think?

My phone has max performance, it is not lag on playing game for a long time
It is hotter( about 5 degrees)
For me, it is worth to pay

Wow, you don't realize the boost in daily usage, your phone gets hotter-> not good for the battery and all that for some points in an useless benchmarking app... Sounds smart 10/10 would recommend

You have no more thermal engine working..

I used the same mod on my ZUK Z2 Pro before, but it's not useful anymore now with a Snapdragon 845.
We should wait a new Kernel (probably a custom one) with a good thermal management for power.

Do you need more performance in Sd845? Do you run ps2 emulator? Windows 10? Do you work on NASA?

Every power boost are welcome. I still have little frame rate drops in some games.

Rooting this phone is too risky to justify any marginal boost in performance you think you might gain. There is no independent development for the 2S yet, no official TWRP and no official support from Magisk. Multiple people have reported that the unofficial TWRP boot looped or bricked their phones. How does anyone justify potentially destroying their phone when rooting will provide such limited benefits?

Well there is a reason probably why others bootloop probably because of reset I successfully rooted my phone without resetting.

All of u should play Rules of survivle on max setting and u know why i need max performance of SD845

There is some kind of GPU Boost module in magisk repo, anyone tried that?

I disagree. Once you have the bootloader unlocked officially, if anything goes wrong just reflash an official fastboot rom from Xiaomi using MiFlash and your phone is as good as new. No worries.

There is no vendor\bin and vendor\etc locations ...Can you explain a little bit ?

It's in the root directory it's like this /vendor/bin and /vendor/etc and find the thermal engines there.

Ah yes. Do we know the temperature cap right now? What temps does the cpu throts at?

Restored my thermal engines but i reached 40C.

No Pie update yet in Sweden for honor 8 pro

has anyone got it ?

The pie update was recalled because of various bugs and a stable update is scheduled to release mid June according to honor forum mods

Maybe we in Europe will get it little bit sooner.I got first update like 2 weeks earlier than India and other regions.At first it was looking all good but i had bugs with touchscreen etc.When i did rolback at 8 then i saw how battery was bad on 9.Hope they will fix all that bugs before they push update again.

Guess rollout started again.I hope they fixed bugs from last one.

please share your experience!

Gaming is definitely smoother,Camera is ok.
As i can see device doesnt overheat anymore.
For battery is little bit early to comment as it is still on first charge.I dont see anything new so i guess its only bugfixes from first version.

Kernel with Underclocking (300 Mhz)

Hi guys,
I have been testing many different ROMs and kernels so far and still haven't found a kernel which really permits underclocking below 1113 Mhz (for big cores) and 633 Mhz (for little cores).
Do you know any kernel which allows setting cores for a minimum of 300 Mhz for instance?
Many thanks.

Maybe Agni kernel do this.

IceCold Kernel up until (including) R3.5 has this feature. The feature was then removed without reason by the developer, but you can still download R3.5.
I'm using (and underclocking) it with Havoc OS 2.5 and it works great.

But I am also interested in testing the Havoc ROM. I actually did it before but got poor battery results. Do you have an idea of your screen-on-time with the combo Havoc + IceCold 3.5?

He removed it, because he thought them useless. What is useful and what isn't, is of course subjective, and I for one disagree with his view. He decided it wasn't worth keeping in; however, the feature was working and not "useless" in the sense that it was incomplete.
Regardless, this is not a discussion for this thread; you may ask him directly in his.

The underclocking frequencies were removed due to the Pie firmware disabling the ability to underclock below 1113MHz.
IceCold R3.5 + Oreo FW should still work.

bcoz its not useful at all. its all inefficient frequency and he is right. we all tested that alot and found it to be as good as previous undercocked 300mhz freq. just test and see instead of saying this.
people dont even try and complain

There you go. It took a bit longer because I normally have 2 SIM-Cards active (but that uses up more battery). So the pictures are from only 1 SIM card active and mobile data always on.

You know what people also do? Assuming without evidence what other people did/thought, instead of asking them.
I did test and compare, and I do have a measurably better battery life than with later versions of the Kernel. I also didn't complain, I stated how it is.
Grow a thicker skin; people like you are not helpful. Not worshipping every move of a developer doesn't mean not being grateful.
I maintain that underclocking is an important feature to have, others may disagree. Some people want NFC and Wireless Charging, I could not care less.
It boggles my mind, that on XDA of all places you regularly find people that tell you what you do or don't need.

General OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro

Looks like they're rolling out 11.2.8.8 for the device : OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro - OnePlus Community
Not seeing anywhere that it will get a full build, which is unfortunate since it's a PitA to update with an OTA when rooted and having a ton of mods.
Edit:
Changelog from forum in case you don't want to bother clicking the link:
System
Updated Android security patch to 2021.07
Fixed known issues and improved stability
Ambient Display
Newly added Bitmoji AOD, co-designed by Snapchat & Bitmoji, which will liven up the ambient display with your personal Bitmoji avatar. Your avatar will update throughout the day based on your activity and things happening around you ( Path: Settings - Customization - Clock on ambient display - Bitmoji )
OnePlus Store
An intuitive and convenient way to manage your OnePlus account, get easy-to-access support, discover exciting members-only benefits, and shop for OnePlus products. (Please note that it can be uninstalled)

I got the global model, but you should easily be able to convert to EU or global from TMO I think. I honestly switched to the EU firmware because it appeared they were getting updates faster.

11.2.6.6 = 7.7 = 8.8
And it will be again = 9.9

Haven't we gotten full builds for every version so far, so why do you think this one won't get it?

Can you please explain to mw what is a throttling?

Oneplus, in their infinite wisdom, decided to throttle (scale back the performance) of the processor when certain apps were used, not allowing the app to take full advantage of the processing power. This can cause delays, lag, or general slowness of said apps. If I remember correctly (I may not) there's something like 300 apps that Oneplus throttles.
Not only did they do this, but they tried to hide it, too.
If the Pixel 6 is a good phone, I'll be jumping ship. I've loved OP but this kind of crap (and no OIS on the OP9) infuriates me.

I may be wrong...but wouldn't a custom kernel take care of the throttling issue?

Apparently there's an app you either have to backup and remove or disable on your 9 or 9 Pro to disable the throttling, but in turn your phone will last less and overheat more.'

I'm limited myself Aswell but to my understanding when a CPU gets too hot it pulls voltage so it doesn't melt itself. Here's how to remove throttling on the 9 and 9 Pro. It has since been removed but this is a backup.

"1. Then run this command to open shell in your phone to uninstall the Oneplus application .\adb.exe shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oneplus.config
2. f you see Success after running the command you can Reboot your phone
Now you should be good, try running Speedometer test and see if your score increased"
This is taken from the page you linked in case anyone wants to try it. From what I gather, I removed a system file that has custom frequencies set for various applications, this adb command removes those profiles from the phone so the listed apps are no longer restricted on their CPU usage.

Yes, when a CPU gets outside of it's thermal limits, it will throttle voltage and scale back speed as to meet that limit.
The issue is, the limit of the 888 is far beyond what we "humans" think is ok to touch as the heat gets transferred to the phone.
The silicon can likely get about 100c before it will throttle, but because it is in a phone the chip will probably start to throttle at around 60-70c. Now that will likely not be the case if using the phone for most apps(including Chrome) but using the Adreno GPU will hit that limit pretty fast.
What OnePlus has done is not really necessary, but for the sake of battery life. The microcode og the SoC will take care of things.

Instead of pm uninstall you could do pm disable so you can enable it whenever you want.

General 6 Pro Benchmarks Thread

Be interested to see what type of benchmark results people are getting on their 6 Pro.
I know benchmarks aren't the be all and end all of how "good" a phone is, but they at least provide some indication and comparison on performance.
I've been using Antutu (latest 9.2.9) and on both stock and custom kernels, can't seem to crack anywhere near the average result for our device. Result attached is on Android 12L Beta 3 and Kirisakura 12L kernel.
Would love to see some comparisons and discussion...
