Hello.
I want to buy the Evo 3D. But I met some opinions that second cpu core is almost always offline, even while playing with games or benchmarks.
It is right? Is there any fix for this? What is the situation in stock HTC roms?
Greetings.

It's just for battery life.
If you want both cores to be online, download the free version of system tuner and force both cores online through the cpu tab.

So, without System Tuner, in stock ROMs 2nd core will be always offline?
will not be always offline, it will be offline when you dont' need it, and start when you need it, just as your pc.
when you write on forum it probly use 1 cpu, when you use photoshop it uses 4.
it's just an example!

No. It'll turn on when the phone needs it; if cpu0 gets "over loaded", then cpu1 turns on to relieve stress on the other.

I decided to make this thread to answer anyone's questions on MOSTLY but not limited to the EVO 3D's hardware.
Oh and for those who want to take screen shots hold the power button and quickly tap home for a surprise (only works with stock 2.3.4 Rom)

I got two.
Any chance someone could make a kernel that runs the cores synchronized?
Recommend a accurate CPU widget that shows the current CPU speed?

2 great questions, alright for the synchronization I think they'd have to be ultimate hackers because the snapdragon processor wasn't designed for that so try and make a request
And as for a CPU widget Temp+CPU widget It's great
Hope I helped.

Could you overclock both cores since we now have ways to run them at same time? Would it blow up cpu? Just a thought. Input....

You sure can. Once you overclock at all, the second core automatically gets its max frequency pushed up to whatever the overclock is, even if it doesn't get activated until its needed.
You can check this with root explorer by going to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq (I think that's the path, typing it off memory)
I always only have like 200mb ram available. That seems a little low to me. Are ur phones the same??

I usually get over 300 mb. I use Mean ROM though, that plays a factor in how much free RAM I am getting.
I normally have over 250mb free..which is perfectly fine with me except....the phone was advertised to hold 1gb of ram..I did not expect sense to take up almost have of it.

Android phones are not the same as your PC.
How much memory you have available isnt significant.
Yea im running mean rom too. And ram is significant sometimes my app shuts down and i hate to restart it.

I always use the phone..but if I kill all apps using task manager , I get up to 400 mb free. Then random services begin on their own and memory begins to bog down a bit.
Again, memory or lag isn't a prob for me. Just would love to use the full ram

Linux based systems don't work the same way as windows based systems. Available RAM is not very important. I would advise not using a task manager or service killing application. Instead... Use the home button to exit an application that you intend to use again soon and the back button to exit an application that you are finished with. Allow android to handle RAM by itself.

Actually they work highly similarly, since Vista. Both OSes use large amounts of RAM for cache, since there is literally zero reason not to. There's no performance impact. In fact, it's usually worse if you try to maintain a high level of free RAM, since it means no caching (slower app loading).

Yes, they will, if you have not enabled the "Apply setting on boot" option I'm the app settings. Enable it and your settings will remain untouched.

Nice, probably easier than trying to edit the post_boot
Edit: although it should be noted that certain settings, such as the cpu max, will be limited by the post_boot settings

3d frequency for the gpu, if kernel doesn't support gpu overclocking it won't work.

Love the app, especially with the update to disable S2W!!! I hate that feature, very glad to be able to easily disable it.
I have a few issues, that I'm not sure if the problem lies with the kernel, or Kernel Tuner app.
I'm using MAC Kernel 2.0.0 on Evo3D CDMA
The kernel supports 1.94Ghz, however no CPU speed over 1.728Ghz works. It either locks the phone up, or defaults back to 1.512Ghz
CPU speed and governor are reset as soon as the phone is "put to sleep" (off, but not shutdown). When you wake the phone up it defaults right back to 1.512Ghz with interactive governor.
The only thing that sticks is the "Misc" options (de-activating S2W, Fastcharge ON) and activating dual core all the time.
I'm using "Cool Tools" to verify CPU speed.
Again, I'm not sure if this is Kernel Tuner's fault, or something with the kernel. I haven't used another CPU frequency changer app, as I've only found Kernel Tuner able to "permanently" activate both cores when the phone is awake. I notice a significant speed difference with both cores are on, vs the second core only active under heavy load. The "stock" settings" seems to wait a while before activating the second CPU.
Thanks for any assistance. Any info I can provide let me know

There is an app on the play store that emulates Motorola's new active notifications now I know that the reason that works is because of the amoled screen. Does anyone know if the same level of battery efficiency will work with our screens as on the motoX? It works well and is really cool but I keeps the screen on.

Yea I am using it on my Verizon Note 2 running Paranoid Android 3.96 and the battery consumption is very low if not any more than a usual app and is updated everyday or two...I am running it on a 4.3 rom so I don't know how it is on 4.1 and 4.2 roms as the developer just released it for 4.1 and 4.2 roms

we have a very similar screen 720p non pentile amoled. we should get similar results.

Well they're listed as being used for 'contextual awareness' and'natural language' so maybe the contextual processor has something to do with it. this all depends though on how those processors operate on a firmware level. big difference if they are simply nonconputing but aware cores used to activate the main application processors like most sensor processors or they actually run specific software actions like Motorola seems to be alluding to with the nomenclature.
I would suggest running a hotplug governor to produce a similar effect.

almost every kernel that allows customization has some type of hotplug governor, although they don't always call it that. Hotplug simply means it only (should) turn on cores when they are needed. theoretically, that means your phone should only be running one core to display the active notifications. do your research on whatever kernel peaks your interest and try it out.
