[Q] Just installed CM Alpha2 got some questions. - TouchPad General

First, off thanks to everyone who convinced me to install this. Looking great so far. Now 2 question...
1) Performance Section of Settings: I know this is a dual core 1.5. How can I make set it to 1.5 dual core safely?
2) USB Mass Storage: For some real this isn't working. I need to reboot into Web OS. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!

1) Its set to 1782mhz already.
2) Go into Settings. Storage. Hit the menu button on the top right. Select "USB Computer Connection" and then select "Media device (MTP)". Will work after doing this.

yeah for usb

1. Its not set to 1.7ghz as someone posted before... its at 1.2ghz by default
Go to the market and download an app called "No Frills CPU Control"
Then open the app, and change the slider so that the Maximum is where you want it to be (either at 1512ghz at the factory state or 1.78 at the overclocked).
Make sure you accept the Superuser prompt
Then make sure the "Set at boot" setting is checked
Close out of the app, and reboot. it should set your processor to the desired speed every time you boot now.
2. Go to Settings > Storage > Advanced (in the top right, the 3 squares) and then click on Computer Connection. Then check the first option (Media Device).

Thanks guys. Oh and what is the proper procedure to swap between the two oses? I just keep restarting in different modes until I get to the boot menu that let's me choose.

Up to 1786 MHz its fine and stable. It will use more battery though.

I say stick with 1.5, Im running it at 1.1*something and it runs smooth even at that clock speed. As said before, just make sure you check the box for MTP mode in the Storage category in the settings. And for me, I had to disable ADB mode in Settings >> Developer Options >> Android Debugging for it to connect properly at my work pc. You may not need to do that though.

V6 Supercharger script and the MoPho

Simple script to run to maximize the MoPho's RAM usage. **ROOT USERS ONLY**
I take NO credit for this tweak whatsoever, and am simply providing a quick "how-to" of how to run the script for those who have not used it on previous Android devices.
Here's the link to the original thread (in the general section in the MoPho forum), created by member Custodian on 8/11/11. Big thanks to him for that! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212820
First, follow the ongoing development threads to familiarize yourself of what this tweak truly accomplishes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15948434#post15948434
Secondly, follow this how-to, in this order:
1) Download the script of your choice from the second hyperlink above, or from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=5021
2) Download Script Manager from the Market (free app).
3) Wipe your caches.
4) Open Script Manager, locate the script you dl'd on your SD Card, select "run as root", and DO NOT select "run as boot".
5) Load the script (select 1 or 0 for scrolling speed). It will most likely tell you that you are running too new of a Busybox version, and may experience bootloops. You're fine. Busybox v1.19.2-Stericson runs just fine, no issues.
6) Once script loads, enter selection #9 (Super 1000hp Aggressive mem setting).
7) Enter selection #13 to "bulletproof" your Launcher (helps eliminate risk of having it close during while your mem settings are working)
8) Enter selection #19 for Nitro Lag Nullifer, and install.
9) Enter selection #25 for options. Enter y for build.prop edit.
10) Enter selection #27 to close the script.
Now, reopen Script manager and navigate to the folder /sdcard/V6_SuperCharger. Run the 99SuperCharger.sh script, and select to "run as root", and "run as boot".
Reboot your phone, and you are good to go.
You can create widgets to quickly shift between memory tweaks.
Lastly, you can run the V6 script and select #19 to "flush" your caches and reclaim any lost RAM throughout the day to keep your phone running optimally without having to reboot your phone or "kill" any apps through various task managers. I do this about 1x-2x a day just as habit, but not necessary by any means. (A widget can be created for this too - open Script Manager, and find /data/fast_engine_flush.sh. One click RAM re-claimer!)
That's it. No need for any 3rd party task managers (ATK, Auto Killer, etc.). Just let the script do its thing, and enjoy a lag free MoPho!
this is great - I ran across this the other day - very easy to install and activate - my phone seems to be very reponsive - quite a interesting MOD - thanks for posting!

I get crap 3G speed @ work regardless of which 3G script I run (.2-.4 down on avg), but .8-1.0 avg w/ 4G. I didn't realize that it doesn't exactly hurt the battery life tremendously to leave 4G enabled on the MoPho, as it puts itself into a sleep mode when not in use. I'm not sure of the specifics as far as scan/refresh intervals right off hand, but I'm tracking approx 1% of batt. life lost every 10 minutes while the phone is idle and 4G enabled (data disabled, as I'm sure I'd be losing 3-4% batt. life in the same range w/ it enabled w/ 4G).
Dumb question: Anything special I should know to run 3G turbocharger?

Nope. Just run the script and select the option that's best for you and reboot. Test all 4 and the experimentals.
YMMV - not all phones behave the same, and I'm sure 3G gains/losses are still contingent upon your location anyway, so you may experience a boost, a loss or no change at all. Either way, it won't hurt anything to try it.
Now RC2 is out... The best setting for MoPho is option 9+12.... Use build prop option to stick otherwise will not stick after reboot.... V6 default windowsmgr event setting is only 75. If you want better smooth scolling change this line "windowsmgr.max_event_per_sec=75 to 150(got two lines not include original line). Well 3g tweak is depend on your service provider.... test with speed test.net and find which setting is the best for you.

i have both running on my phone and it is pretty fast, i used the experimental #1 for the 3g and i was hitting 1+ meg downloads which is faster than the .48-.75 that i normally get. usually when i open my browser on 3g it takes a while to load even the google homepage but now it pops up as soon as i open the browser no load time same for xda took a while before now it loads really quick almost ike i have 4g on i had to double check and make 4g was the first time i tried it because it was so much faster.
RC3.1 is out already. Looks like there are a bunch of fixes and enhancements.
where do you see the RC3.2?

[A] overclock too high set on boot

Overclock too high and phone crashes? Accidentally hit set on boot and you can't get in to change the frequencies?
Throw it in the freezer for half an hour and try again, worked for me. I was set above 1.9ghz and I thought I was sol and needed to restore (haven't made any backups in a while). Figured I'd give it a shot to keep the CPU/gpu cool, and it booted. I switched the frequency down than and all is well.
I kinda wonder what quadrant scores I would have gotten cooled.

A less dangerous method would be to go into the recovery menu and do a data wipe.

In addition, if you don't want to wipe ALL data settings and apps on the device, wipe the specific data settings for that application.
All apk data settings are stored in /data/data/<package name>. The package name formats follows as something similar to com.joeykrim.flashimagegui , or something of that sort depending on the author of the application.
Hope that helps!
Also if you use SetCPU:
There is
a "safe mode" function that prevents SetCPU from running any tasks during boot if a file called "setcpu_safemode" exists in /sdcard or /data/local. This is useful if unstable settings were saved with "set on boot" checked.

or if you dont want to wipe data you can flash a kernel that doesn't offer oc abilities and then boot your phone back up lower your clock then reflash your old kernel, happened to me before just boot into bootloader goto fastboot hook to pc use command to enter recovery and flash the none over clockable kernel if your using hboot 1.5

SHOstock2 FAQ

This may end up in the SHOstock2 thread but for now, since it is in very early development, I will keep it here.
Newbies: You may want to read the following posts for more information before you begin this process:
ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips
Install Guide:
Note: If you already rooted your phone and installed (a kernel with) CWM then please do a nandroid backup before moving on. Read more about this here if you are unfamiliar.
Method 1:
If you are on an AT&T stock rom (UCKH7/KK6) first you will have to root your phone. Read through this thread to do so. Once your stock rom is rooted you will need ClockworkMod Recovery. One way to do this (without getting the dreaded yellow triangle when the phone turns on) is via Mobile ODIN. See this thread for more ideas. You can get the free lite version here or the Pro version here. You can also use Super Manager to do this. Using either of these tools you can install the latest CherryPicker kernel. After that you can reboot into recovery mode and flash this rom. Note: You should check the MD5 sum of the .zip file on your computer and your phone before flashing it. You can find the expected MD5 sum just below the download link.
Once you flash SHOstock2 you can uninstall Mobile ODIN as you probably will not use it again.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What kernel comes with this rom? And why?
As of 2.0 it comes with CherryPicker (by drowningchild). See post #3 for more details.
"Quality of entropy and the personal touch. But and tested for my ROM by himself. We don't like ex tweaks implementation of that and would rather use voltage control or set CPU." -shoman94
I used Titanium Backup to backup all my apps. Should I restore System apps and data?
No. In order to avoid causing any number of issues you should not restore system apps or data. User apps and data should be fine though.
I just flashed the latest SHOstock2 or my kernel of choice. Battery life seems bad. What should I do?
You should really wait a couple of days before you can gauge battery usage.
Okay, a couple of days have passed and I suspect something is using too much battery. Now what should I do?
A good idea is to use BetterBatteryStats to find out what is going on.
I cannot get the default messaging app to launch from the icon on the home screen or in the app drawer. What is wrong?
This happens sometimes after the initial install. Just delete and re-add the shortcuts and they should work just fine.
I use SMS Popup and I am having some weird issues with it. Is it compatible with this rom?
SMS Popup will work just fine if you keep 'Quick Reply' unchecked.
How can I get the weather on my lock screen?
First, you have to enable the Circle (and not AOSP) lockscreen. Go to Settings -> Display and uncheck 'Enable AOSP lockscreen. In the same place you should check 'Weather'.
How do I take a screenshot?
Hold Power + Volume Down for a second or so.
How do I disable the lower power alert sound?
Using a third-party file explorer (such as ES File Explorer), or via adb, delete or rename /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Low_Battery.ogg.
How do I disable the camera shutter sound (when taking a picture)?
Using a third-party file explorer (such as ES File Explorer), or via adb, delete or rename /system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg.
I saw this rom has call recording. Is there an app to listen to those?
Yes, though you do not *need* one. Check this app out.
Apex Launcher is notifying me of an update. How do I stop this?
First of all, you can install the update. If you do not want to then go to the Apex settings and find About Apex Launcher. Click 'Automatically Check for Updates' and select 'Never'.
Can I use the TouchWiz launcher with this rom?
Thanks to LiLChris06 you can give this one a try.
Where did this app switcher come from?
It was ported from HTC Sense 4.
Does Swype work with this rom?
Yes, just install the Swype Installer.
I would like to use the Samsung keyboard. Where can I get a compatible one?
Thanks to LiLChris06 you can grab it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20447007/Update/apps/SamsungKB.zip
Do you have any tips for increasing battery life?
Yes. Remove apps (such as Twitter, Facebook, etc) and use their mobile web sites instead.
Is there a way to turn off the wifi when the screen is off?
Sure. Go to Settings -> Wifi -> menu button -> Advanced. Set Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to whatever you prefer.
I do not like the default messaging app. Are there any good third-party apps?
Definitely. Check out GO SMS Pro, Handcent SMS, chompSMS for example. Make sure you grab the latest version (with ICS support).
I do not like the order of the toggles. Can I rearrange them?
Yes. Go to Applications -> QuickPanel Settings
Does this rom support BLN?
Yes, though it is disabled by default. Grab BLN control - Free or BLN Control - Pro from the Google Play Store to enable BLN. Once you enable BLN you will have to enable this option in whatever apps you want.
I do not like the CRT animation when the screen turns off. Can I get rid of it?
If you want the screen to turn off right away go to Settings -> Developer options -> Window animation scale and choose 'Animation is off'.
I cannot get Samsung Kies to work with my phone. Is this a known issue?
Samsung Kies is not supported on our phone (only the international version is) and was therefore removed.
I get an error about my charger's voltage. Can you fix that?
It is a problem with your charger, not the rom. This is especially true of car chargers. You will have to try a different charger.
Can I change the CPU governor?
Sure, grab Voltage Control to do this. You can also use SetCPU.
Make sure you read one or both of the following threads for more information:
[REF] Quasar kernel governors and I/O schedulers manual
[REF][TWEAKS] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers, CPU Tweaks, AIO App Configs
Can I use ExTweaks with this rom?
It does not work with the default CherryPicker kernel. If you really want to use it then you can install the Siyah kernel instead and then you can use ExTweaks.
Can I use Google Wallet with this rom?
As of now, no.
Can I use init.d with this rom?
Yes, CherryPicker's supports it. Read over this thread for more information.
When my phone first turns on there is a yellow triangle. How can I get rid of that?
You can use Triangle Away. I have used it a couple of times without any issues but make sure you understand what you are doing before using it. Note: If you used Mobile ODIN as described in the install guide above you should not have the yellow triangle.
My cellular signal does not seem that great. Is there anything I can do?
Head over to the modem thread and grab a couple of older modems to try. Reboot in recovery mode to flash one.
Can I use ROM Manager with this rom for backups?
No, boot into Recovery Mode and do it from there.
What is fast dormancy, how can I toggle that setting, and should I bother?
It is recommended that you not change this setting but it seems there is a lack of clarity on whether AT&T uses it for our phones. If you really want to, first you should read more about it. This thread is a good starting place. To change the setting dial *#9900#
What kernels are compatible with this rom?
Here are three: Entropy’s - N.E.A.K. - Siyah (get WITH mic swap version)
If I want to try a different kernel do I need to clean anything first?
jivy26’s Kernel Cleaning Script can take care of this for you. Flash it before flashing the new kernel.
I would like to do some benchmarking. What do you recommend?
If you really want to do that try AnTuTu Benchmark.
Can I download a previous version of this rom?
You can look here: http://streamingfreebies.com/android_themes/SGS2/ROM/SHOstock2/
I need to return the phone to its stock state. How should I do that?
Sorry to see you go. Read this thread.

Nobody needs to download and use Mobile Odin. Flashing kernels through CWM recovery works fine and is perfectly safe. Using Mobile Odin as a special case recovery tool for flashing over a buggy/ dangerous kernel is another story, but strictly speaking, people shouldn't be led down a road that isn't totally necessary.
Wifi won't disconnect when the screen is off, even with the correct settings, I believe this has been verified by more than a few users. (I could be wrong).
CRT OFF behavior looks like slow crap when disabled, so, for a crisp shut-off, one should/ can, go into Dev Options, under Windows Animations, and select .5 for a value. (CRT Animation needs to be checked)
Last little bit, I would steer clear of saying too much about battery life, or giving advice about how long to let a ROM/Kernel settle in (more of an art than a science). Suffice to direct folks to XDA threads on the subject.
Keep up the good work, initiative is very good!
Nice write up.

You're awesome. Regarding M.O., I wanted to ensure that noobs didn't think they HAD to do it that way. In fact, now that I think about it, I'd just assume that people are rooted and good to go, you can even say so, like, "...it's assumed you're rooted, running a kernel with CWM, and capable of either downloading vis wifi to your SD Card, or transfering the rom from your computer...". I mean, they gotta have a pulse.

how to root sg2
1. Use Odin to flash stock UCKH7 with Root, available here. Be aware that doing this will require a full wipe, so do what you can to back up your sms/mms/contacts and other data. READ EVERY STEP CAREFULLY. Do not flash a kernel with Odin.
TO USE ODEN, How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" package from MultiUpload or MegaUpload. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive. This is a One-Click version of Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package plus stock modem from the development forum. (Contains stock zImage, factoryfs.img with root, and modem.bin.)
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.exe".Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8].
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success. You're Rooted.
2. Now that you have root access, download Mobile Odin from the Play Store. Use it to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah. This will install CWM Recovery. THE APP AND KERNEL,"DD-012.." ARE IN THE FOLDER ON THE DESKTOP.
3. Boot into CWM Recovery and make a nandroid backup.
4. Use CWM to flash SHOStock or CM9. SHOSTOCK IS LOCATED IN FOLDER ON DESKTOP

Correct. You generally only want to use Mobile Odin right after initial root to flash a kernel with CWM.
The only other time I can see it being useful is if you want to flash a stock firmware, but want to retain root. The everroot option works well for this.

Using Mobile Odin as a special case recovery tool for flashing over a buggy/ dangerous kernel is another story, but strictly speaking, people shouldn't be led down a road that isn't totally necessary.
Wifi won't disconnect when the screen is off, even with the correct settings, I believe this has been verified by more than a few users. (I could be wrong).
CRT OFF behavior looks like slow crap when disabled, so, for a crisp shut-off, one should/ can, go into Dev Options, under Windows Animations, and select .5 for a value. (CRT Animation needs to be checked)
Last little bit, I would steer clear of saying too much about battery life, or giving advice about how long to let a ROM/Kernel settle in (more of an art than a science). Suffice to direct folks to XDA threads on the subject.
Keep up the good work, initiative is very good!

Using mobile Odin to put cwm after touting the phone is the best way IMO and eliminates the need for triangle away. Especially when coming from stock kk6.
Crt unchecked is not a crt off animation. The screen does fade some before turning off but that's it. Doing what you state gives it an instant off. I can't believe people would be picky about a split second delay..... Crazy.
Battery after flash..... There is no doubt you need to wait a few charge cycles before studying about battery. There are way to many variables on what effects the battery but bbs can help you work finding the culprit.

Crazy like an aesthete.
Not to get into a pissing contest, but (here he goes) this Q and A is about the ROM, and Kernel, not flashing in general, or rooting.
Love ya Sho, you're a great man (or a half naked tranny in newark). I don't even care, I love this rom!

Which includes flashing my ROM from stock. So yes it pertains to installing/using the ROM.

the wifi does turn off but it doesnt show so in the battery stats
While a guide like this could be helpful, in my opinion trying to answer almost every question a person could think of just makes people not have to search. Which makes them ask dumb questions and start stupid threads. For someone brand new to flashing or coming from bone stock, definitely helpful.

This really isn't a guide. It's a faq for my ROM that has questions that are asked multiple times which become redundant. It's purpose is to lead you in the right direction for installing and using SHOstock.
Really I wanted/want this inserted into the ROM thread.

Yeah, I went back and forth on that and finally installed ExTweaks to test. Once I saw it didn't work I updated the FAQ.

And I have every intention of putting it there. I thought that filling up the (already bloated) thread with discussions about the FAQ was not useful. My hope is that I can get most of the silly Q & A's added within a week.

[root] 4 cores Activator

Hi there
I'm not an app developer, but I was frustrated with "obligatory €25 donation" and all the ads, just to activate other 3 cores on some G4's. So, here is the result of my frustration. Simple app, not too pretty, but gets the job done.
If you have G4 that after using Big Core Disable got only 1 core active, this app is for you. It has only one switch, and one function, to activate all 4 cores. Nothing else is there, nothing alse will be added (except changing theme and maybe some minor tweaks)...
Of course, ROOT is needed
ToDo:
* Create App Icon (this one is borrowed)
* Change App Theme
* Add some notification on boot, to show the user if 1 or 4 cores are active
* Slow activating 4 cores after rebooting, will look into it
* You tell me
Version 1.1
- Greatly optimized app size (now only ~500kb, was over 10mb)
- Optimized app opening speed
- Some minor modifications
- A lot of work still has to be done
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0...=sharing&resourcekey=0-Wqgbdl-MpPvXwbP9hEKc0g
EDIT: Updated app link, as old one wasn't working. As always, feel free to donate ;-)
Thanks for that.
Interessting thing. I dont deactivate some cores but the ap tell me that only 1 core is activated. I installed Droid Info and it say it too that only 1 core is activated. Take the button in your app and all cores working
Im on Genesis 4.8 Rom

Yup, it reads it own file, and default is that one core is activated. I didn't take in consideration that someone could install the app even if it already has 4 cores enabled, my bad . Anyway, if you click enable and than disable, it will disable cores, and after that it would work as it should.
Thanks for reporting, will fix that in the next version, for sure

No problem. But i has edited my post with some more infos. Please read

Now I am confused. Not with my app, as I said, when I wrote it I did it like that so the app on first run guesses that only 1 core is active (that's why you need the app). So, if you have 4 cores active, and open my app for the first time, it will say that one core is active. When you click the button, it will say 4 cores are active, and nothing will change, as you already had 4 cores activated. But, if you click the button again, it will then disable 3 cores and and say 1 core is active.
What confuses me is why droid info said only 1 core? Are you sure you had 4 cores activated? Or maybe you had disabled cores with my app, by clicking enable 4 cores, and than clicking the button again to disable them?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
i was confused too
i installed your app and see that Only ONE core is activated. I close the app and look in Droidinfo and see that only one Core is activated.I Open your App and push the Button to activated and go back to droid Info and all 4 cores are running.
I never before deactivated some Cores on my h815
@homerist
Looks to me as you did have only one core activated... Have you used other app for activating 4 cores?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
Thanks man Its working perfect )
No,
I have the first time heard that we can cores deactivate and activate.
My LG was laggy and i think i look with your app and then i see it
Version 1.1 of the app has been released. If you can't update old app, uninstall it and then install this one. Thanks

Thanks. My G4 is laggy (?) so I may have a core problem. I'll give it a try.
What is the 'apply on boot' timings on newer version? I think it should be set to instant (least delay).
Using latest version of it and it's running great. Apply on boot settings seems to be working better than previous version.
I'm working on instant applying, but as I said, I'm not a developer, so I'm still learning... I know there's a way for it to be instant, I just have to find it ?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
Thanks for the app. I'm going to try this. Before I was manually doing it by opening root explorer and going into the folder and manually changing the online file, now with this app, it should be a lot easier.
Hi...
You just need to edit the file in: /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
Edit the LAST LINE of the file, thats starts with g4ilapofix=true:
g4ilapofix=true; if $g4ilapofix......
Change it to:
g4ilapofix=true;
if $g4ilapofix;
then
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online;
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online;
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online;
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online;
fi;
And you are done. Never again you will need to do something after reboot.
I'm now trying to edit the TOT files, so this is removed from the MOD and all 4 cores be active since the first boot. Which is how it should be.
I think it is absurd to FORCE everyone to pay 25 USD. A donation should never be forced.
XDA exists because people wanted to help others, for free, not to gain money over other people. Donations are always apreciated, but should not be mandatory.
@santroph
Guess you're talking about other app, not mine. Mine is free, not $25.
And you can't modify tot file, because it will not be signed after that, and that lines aren't inserted in the tot file. The lines you are referring to are inserted after you install g4ilapofix app, not after flashing tot file. TOT file is LG's signed file, so no "g4ilapofix" there, for sure... Again, not my app, my app is free for use...

I was taking about the other app from the other dev. It inserts those lines and it simply blocks any new app from beeing able to have all 4 cores enabled at boot.
So, if someone installed the app trying to have all 4 core enabled like the dev says (but never state that you will have to pay 25 USD for it), the user is now blocked to have all 4 cores enabled at boot.
Sorry for the missunderstanding.

Thanks! And do I need to run this app everytime I reboot the phone or it does it automatically disable the 2 big core after every reboot?
Thanks again.

How To Guide Max Performance & CPU frequency

1: Download Root Booster. (Premium)
2: Download Xplore.
3: Run Root Booster on "Speed boost" (Speed might work also)
4: Open Xplore to root then [/sys/devices/system/cpu] and add the CPU folder to favorites.
5: Edit the permissions for "cpufreq" and only select the 3 execute. (Uncheck read and write)
6: Tap recursive and ok
There you have it, now your phone will run at max Performance/frequencies at all times, well until you restart.

This has nothing to do with battery optimization. It is for over clocking or under clocking.
The OP post this mod for peeps that would like to clock their phone. No need to leave a nasty negative reply.
A kernel Manger will do the same thing and it is what I use.

I will make a guide for battery saving by tomorrow. You will need root for this too
One week later
Update messed up my settings and im still trying to fix it. Performance and battery are having issues. Life is busy as well..
If you want to figure it out for yourself, I use HEBF Optimizer (Android Saver in VIP), Naptime, Battery Tool and Kirisakura Kernel together.
