Ok so I asked this question in another thread, but it really wasn't the correct place to ask. Plus i will update it to include more of what i actually know. (Which isn't much btw) =]
I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to either disable dual cores from being in effect while all the time when the screen is on or reduce the processor speed (ie remove over clocking or over clock it a bit less) to try and save some battery.
I have never attempted to change CPU max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i don't know where to start. I thought I read somewhere you can edit the settings in a file, but A. I don't know which file. and B. I don't know how.
I don't mind just having one core always running and I can edit the file and reboot to enable the 2nd core if necessary, however doing it on the fly like below would be pretty cool
On a side note:
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Best place to ask this is in the MeanROM ICS thread. MeanROM doesn't have overclocking ability right now due to the stock kernel so that isn't your issue. Ask over in that thread and I bet you'll get help
I can't I don't have enough posts to ask in that thread. =\
Update: Apparently I can now post in there. Just asked in there. =]

What is the simplest way to gain the ability to change the cpu setting on the Streak?
It looks like a small increase makes for a noticeable change in performance.
If I understand it correctly, you can't do it without a custom build, is this correct?
Never mind. The local search engine leaves much to be desired but Google found it for me.
Mod suggestions:
The ability to delete a post if it is not quoted by someone else would be nice.
How about the ability to close a thread you opened if you consider it resolved.
To overclock the kernel has to be altered from stock. You can use on of the StreakDroid Roms or the SimpleStreak Rom. If you want to use/stay on build 318 there is a performance fix available that installs the overclock kernel.
Im rooted and running eclipse 1.3 the only fix/mod I've run is the hdmi mirroring service fix. I'm trying to judge the efficiency of underclocking for a science fair project. The idea is that underclocking will conserve the battery but that it will slow the phone down to the point where it will take so much more time to do stuff that the increased battery life is pointless because you can't accomplish as much.
But I digress. The real reason i'm here is because I can't get any cpu 'app' to work. I've tried rom toolbox, setcpu, and antutu cpu master. While they let me use the cpu sliders, my phone just ignores them.
I don't just want, I NEED a fix for this. Please respond quickly, science fair is in ten days and its 20% off my grade.
I will be sooooo grateful for any fix.
I'm not positive but I thought because we do not have an unlocked bootloader we can not adjust our kernal there for no over or underclock unless it can be controlled in a script but I'm not positive and I'm just making a snap response
I think that it is actually possible to underclock your phone. I just forgot where the file was lol. I will try to find it.

Have you tried the CPU script? Overmind or navenrob or someone made one. Try Liberty or Molten as well, they might be built in.
Just FYI in the future, try to start projects like this as soon as you get them. A few days will not yield enough data to really judge efficiently :/.
Just use navendrob's cpu script. Its part of his init.d hack. Then adjust the max clock freq with script editor overwrite the file and reboot.
I used setcpu to check the freqs because the max and min sliders will reflect what you enter for values.

U dont need to flash that hack tho.
The cpu hack is already in the eclipse's stock init.d script.
Just edit the part of 98(or 99?)tweaks that refers to cpu frequency. It is near the top
Use root explorer to find and edit...
Dont forget to delete the .bak that is made as it will run as well unless deleted.

Its 99tweaks. Its under /system/etc/init.d.
I couldn't remember if Eclipse had the clock speed script in it. I knew the Speedy scripts dont. Must have gotten myself mixed up. Haha
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
Thanks all, I just edited the script and so far, limiting it to only 1ghz has worked no problem.
One final question though, do any of you happen to now the default clock speed (what it would run at on eclipse if I left it completely untouched) when using the stock browser (no videos or multitasking)? My tests seem ti show it to be very close to 1ghz.
Ps. How do I edit the thread title? Id like to add "solved" to the title
Ummm 1ghz is what it was at for max frequency.... Before anything was changed
from my X2 roaming the north
Personally what I would do in your situation is adjust the max clock and use a few benchmarking programs. Run each max speed a couple of times with each program. Find an average benchmark value and record that for each max value you define. Its unbiased. Your 'feeling' of how the system runs isn't quantitative.

Im kinda new at this android thing . I am looking for some to tell me what is the best over clocking app and what exact settings do i need to make my phone run the fastest. I would like the settings for it to run the fastest with a disregared for the power usage (battery life) and the best settings for it to run fast but not eat the battery up fast. I am uping SetCPU right now but im willing to use any app that will make my phone run the fastest and smoothist.
my kernel is -[Kernel] holoNote Kernel 0.1 (Ghost Touch detection removed)
my rom is- XLA2[2.3.6] 3/22 SAUROM Projekt 'One Rom to Rule Them All
will someone please walk me through this and explain to me why the settings your suggesting are the best. i know the basic concept i just need a lil help. i still a NOOB

This is still in Beta, more is yet to come!!!!!!
Kernel InformationGeneral Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that

Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" file. The "Adjustments" file is just for easy view of all changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone. In case of .bin files, optionally rename the file(s) as .txt
2. Copy ONLY the profile(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" file) to /sdcard/KTweaker folder using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open Ktweaker app and click on "Restore Prefs from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Choose the one you want to apply.
5. After applying, make sure the "Set options on boot" setting on the main menu of KTweaker has a little green text bellow confirming that the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
Balanced Bull: Reloaded (updated: 11~15~13)
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and has gained an incredible amount of feedback. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
https://copy.com/6DYYijYNqifx
Nightmare To Remember
This will likely become your beautiful, never ending nightmare.. It offers a unique balance between battery and performance but unlike Balanced Bull, it is slightly more performance oriented due to the more aggressive scale up to max CPU. However, only 2 cores will be used for the majority of the time so you can still enjoy a nice buttery smooth interface with just enough juice to last you through the day.

Bless The Child v3 (updated: 10~25~13)
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
https://copy.com/CZdfHiaZEOAu
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
https://copy.com/xWpFNDtIsQHe
Day Of Reckoning
Very similar to Nightmare To Remember but is aimed slightly more towards battery without deteriorating much of the performance. It is based off the Pegasusq governor.
https://copy.com/vynBURHcsOUl
Dead By April v2.2 (updated: 11~15~13)
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further . It now focuses more on snappiness but still maintains it's well known battery conservation. It manages to maintain a smooth ui for your average daily use.

Project Icarus by @mamba720027
So some may wonder why the name "Icarus",why not Hyper Performance or Deadly Good Battery.
Well the reason and to begin explination,short history.
Icarus is a greek mythology who is seen today as a mythical pioneer that tried to conquer the skies.
I like that mythology cause it kinda corresponds to my own saying "fly high or fall hard" which means to aim high or fail trying. So their you have it folks and thus the profile name "Icarus".
And onto explination of each profiles.
The first is "Performance" which is catered for straight out performance with also good battery performance.
This one is for when u dont give a rats flying balls about battery really and just want everything super fast and smooth. But you maybe surprise of battery performance. I recommend everyone try this profile first. My current favorite
The second is "Conservative" this is for those seeking performance but also better battery performance than the first.
This one is the middle man or lady as u may want to refer to it. It gives the best of both worlds,performance and battery. So if the first leave you stranded then fear not, this is the one to turn too
The third is "Kamikaze" which means "god wind". It either knocks the daylight out of your Galaxy S4 due to its high undervolteing and mean intent on Battery Performance but still snappy.
This one the undervolting is of my personal voltage table that runs stable for me with other tweaks. If it runs successfully for anyone else then battery performance may be great.
This one is for those that likes the thrill of trying something new and unsure if it will work

Undisputed 3 (updated: 12~11~13)
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
https://copy.com/H0FUiELjgegB
ECLIPSE v2 (updated: 10~25~13)
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
https://copy.com/fgFWgW30IE38
Asking Alexandria
Another battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.

Project Daylight v2 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Day Light is focused mainly on battery conservation. I felt that its useless if its not smooth and lags alot so I add performance into the mix createing a profile that offers both while its first and foremost goal "battery performance" is still preserved and not diminish. This profile is yet unique and on a different level from my early release of "Icarus"
The contents are 3 profiles unique in their own way, "Daylight", "Daybreak" and "Experimental" along with a "Extra" folder containing wallpapers I created on our S4 for fun while testing . Kind of gives me some inspiration and sense of feel of what my objective is.
Daybreak is a crossbread profile of my Icarus Performance profile and Daylight. Its simply utilizing the performance power behind Icarus Performance profile while useing Daylight profile governor settings as its core to boost battery performance
The experimental profile is heavily undervolted/Underclocked with tweaked scheduler and governor. I taught if some of you could run it stable then it may produce great or mix results

What Lies Beneath
This is an extreme battery performance setup in which essentially transforms your quad-core device into a dual core device.
Why "What Lies Beneath"?
You'll find that during light to moderate operations the cpu remains at lower frequencies for an extended period of time and will only jump to max when needed. Although it's clocked at a max of 1.3ghz it maintains a surprisingly smooth and snappy feel to your device at such low frequencies. This is where battery life is also expected to come in to play as well.

Sleeping Dragon by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Sleeping Dragon V2 Single Core
This is a single core profile aimed at consumeing the least battery for a time when you will be away from home or at work and away from the charger. It was a profile i played with at first as i did not expect it to mount as much with apps and system UI needing a right amount of performance from a CPU to meet todays tasks in performance. In the end i was able to tame the dragon and make it work as best as possible to achieve its goal
Sleeping Dragon V1 Quad-Core
This is the counter part of Sleeping Dragon V2 but with many tweaked parameters to make it a fully functional 4 Core base profile in hopes to achieve close or same battery performace as its single core entity. Unfortunately i still am not sure if it measures up but what i know from previous test with settings @Stock it hold its own in battery department. I am pleased with the results although i would wish to see some light usage results from users.I must give credits to Luigi for useing parts from his Balanced Bull Script, and Undisputed 3 Script and part from my Crimson Dragon Script. I am pleased to present users with this 4 Core or Quadcore profile

Smooth Operator v3 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
This profile utalize all 4 cores on demand and serves as being a balance between battery and performance. Its as smooth as possible and utalize the full cpu power while operateing sensibly in governor scaleing.

Hydra
Eclipse and Kamikaze clash with one another in this hybrid profile (BIG thanks to @mamba720027 for the amazing work done on Kamikaze!). This is perfect for those who favor one or both of these profiles. With the merging of some of the essential performance and battery elements of each profile as well as a few minor adjustments, this one also stands as it's own profile and it flies!.

Ghost Rider by @galaxys3man30
this setup can benchmark on 1890,1944 and 1998 and its been really good on battery even thou its a performance setup think im going to call it ghost rider cuz its a sleeper yea it shows good battery life but behind that is the raw performance that is on demand when needed.

*Stardust v2* by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~7~13)
This Profile I put together is based on the "AbyssplugV2" governor.
Everything is tweaked and the profile can run by itself or either use the "smooth operator V2" Script or Luigi's "Hydra" Script.
Both are found in Post#8 of the OP. The choice is yours.

Crimson Dragon by @mamba720027
This is a profile that i put together from a lost in the thread Dual Core profile "Lazy Dragon". What was suppose to be a V2 Update of it turned into a 4 Core profile and something totally new, Crimson Dragon. This profile is a variable of Performace and keeping things balance. Its very smooth on TW and produce great results on AOSP as well threw testing and feedback. Please enjoy this new addition :good:

I have been having good luck with the 7/7 KT kernel set to his recommendations.....minus the GPU Max Mhz I keep mine at stock (450)
Loved Team Kernelizers work on the S3 cant wait for S4 goodies:victory:

Ooh very nice. I was waiting for this. I also used TKmod on my S3 and got some insane battery life. Thanks for coming over!
Is it still necessary to rename those files in TW for the s4? I was under the impression its no longer needed. Could be wrong. Let me know team KT if it should still be done.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.

No need to rename any. As far as I know on my S4 there is only smd and it doesn't cause any drain like it did for some on S3 so just skip the rename and restore section of those by selecting none on both.
Hey guys converting over to S4 from my old S3. Do I need to reflash TK mod after I update my Kernel? Anyone have any pimping settings so far? I notice people keep mentioning Ktoonz 7-7 version for TW has anyone tried his new 8/9 Kernel for TW someone said it's fixed?

No you dont have to flash the tkmod over again after a update only after a rom update yes cuz it will change the build props and change alot of other things as well but as far as settings go there still being worked on atm buddy just trying to get more supporters to help out and 8/9 has been running great so far me but im on sprint thou

If you have anything to add you think would be beneficial pleaae let us know and we can try to integrate it.
Post #2 of OP updated with our pre-configured Ktweaker settings. Be sure to read the description to each corresponding profile to see which better suits your interests and kindly provide some feedback as there's always room for improvement if need be. Hope this makes a difference for all you guys and enjoy! :good:
REQUIREMENTS.
MUST BE ROOTED WITH RECOVERY.
HAVE INIT.D SUPPORT for method 1.
HAVE TERMINAL EMULATOR for method 2.
NOTE: This may work for all android devices but is only tested on a LG D851. The mod will install on all devices but may give unwanted results. If it works let us know.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
XDA and I are NOT responsible if anything wrong happens to your device by using this mod. Always make sure you have a backup ready if needed.
ABOUT THIS MOD.
Here is a very simple mod that I wanted to share. This is what has been labeled in the past as the build property to remove a FPS cap on all android devices. This doesn't actually do that but you will see an increase in frames per second by adjusting the EGL swap interval. Unfortunately, this property has always had big issues with visual artifacts that made it useless to use.
I found it frustrating that we could obtain such a high FPS but plagued with issues. So I spent some time and found a new value. One that could actually work on all android devices. Instead of 1 for stock or 0 for modified. Here is the new value...
debug.egl.swapinterval=-60
A general description...
https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/sdk/docs/man/html/eglSwapInterval.xhtml
While other negative values may work, -60 brought the most bang for the buck when it came to benchmarks. I am truly excited about finding a way to make it work and although it's just a new value, I would appreciate if you could give me credit if using this property as it is the first time it will actually work the way we want it. This value didn't just fall from the sky. Certainly no need to ask for any permissions.
WAYS TO USE THIS MOD.
I figured many people would at least like to try this out so I made it as easy as possible for newer and more advanced users. The mod is actually really easy to apply. Simply add it to your build.prop file and reboot or use one of methods below.
METHOD 1.
Use the proper flashable zip to install into init.d so the mod is ready directly after a reboot.
METHOD 2. (recommended)
Use the proper flashable zip to install into /system/xbin and call upon it when needed and disable it when not needed.
INSTALLATION.
Method 1
version 1.1
1. Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603390
2. Flash in recovery.
3. Reboot.
METHOD 2.(recommended)
version 1
1. Downloadhttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602432
2. Flash in recovery.
3. After you reboot open Terminal Emulator and type the following without the quotes.
4. Type "su" and press the enter key.
5. Type "unlockfps" and press enter. This will activate the property for higher fps.
To deactivate type "lockfps"
NOTE: You may need to toggle your screen off/on to fully activate the mod using method 2.
You will also need to activate the mod again after a reboot. The setting won't survive a reboot with method 2.
UNINSTALL
METHOD 1.
version 1.1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603391
Version 1 (depreciated)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602181
METHOD 2.
version 1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602429
CHANGELOG
Method 1 version 1.1- Fixed permissions.
I have had people tell me battery life is better and some say it's worse. You be the judge and let us know.
Happy Flashing!
These zips will flash on any device, so If you have something other than an LG G3 you can try it. If you choose to try I definitely suggest using method 2. This way if you run into trouble all you need to do is reboot and the mod is disabled.
PLEASE!
IF YOU TRY THIS MOD ON ANOTHER DEVICE LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS!!
So far I have positive reports for Samsung and Sony devices.
thanks bro. gonna try it on my vs985
Installed on my D855 and it improves animation speed an in overall system fluidness. I'm using it in combination with LSpeed tweak and working perfect, for battery impact, if there will be one, will see after daily use. Thanks for this my phone is flaying, so to speak.

Yea. I thought it was only going to work in games and such but it seems to make everything a little quicker and smoother. Scrolling etc... I wasn't expecting that.
after installing unlockfps antutu score not bad, using darkknight rom.
getting around 42+++ on antutu as well. & yes, everything seem much snappier, considering i got shedloads of listview, ime & toast animations (xuimod/xposed, ftw!).
good example is gosms. starting the app uncached is almost instantaneous. then when i go to a long thread (conversations w/ wifey, go figure) i could really say that load time is quicker than before the mod. close to 1 batt cycle & i don't notice any unusual drain.
tried it on my T700 as well. i'm getting the same results, though antutu scores don't agree. didn't explode so far. btw, does enabling hw/gpu acceleration negate this? or is it the other way around?

I have "force gpu rendering" enabled. To boost 2d rendering but that's it as far as dev options.
If your talking build properties then I really don't know for sure.
Hey,
I use Methode 1 on newest BlizzPop at D855.
For First Time i can say...... Wow amazing. The Rom is very very fast with this Mod. No lags. Smooth and Fluid.
Now i hope the Battery hold.
Test right Now @ work.
Thx for your great Mod, work on it and your Time.

For me it seems improve phone and graphics in general, for games I don't know because I don't play games on it. So far didn't notice any heating up or any other side affect from this only improvements and also didn't notice any battery drain.
Working so far
Working great so far ! i also combined this with the CTT mod and the combination is killer so smooth the fastest experience ever!
lg G3 D850 AT&T
Rom : Blisspop v3.2 5.1.1 5/12/15
Kernel: 777 Kernel
flashed on vs985
This mod is amazing! the before and after is huge. My phone already felt really fluid but after installing this is flies--apps open instantly and animations are like butter.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Everyone needs to flash this because the difference it makes is amazing.
NVM!
I combined method 1 with Velocity set to 4300 and a few other tweaks to build.prop, and made this phone run like butter. Only place where I see stutter is on Facebook, but is better than before the mod.
Sent from my Ice Cold D850
Thx alot razz
I have d855 and tried it, method 1 didnt give me any change in antutu benchmark so i tried method 2 and benchmark gave 3000 points more
Both tests after reboot
Why was it locked in the first place?
is this different from the one found in hidden menu? the dynamic lcd refresh on/off - enable 60fps
Sorry for the stupid question... but do i need to add (after i flashed and activated (method2) ) "debug.egl.swapinterval -60" to build.prop ?

It wasn't. This mod is to adjust a swap interval. Not actually unlock anything.
People have just called it that in the past.

You don't need to add anything permanent to the build.prop file. These methods will do it on the fly for you.
Used method one and no longer have slight stutter in notification panel!! Now to try antutu
