Hi everybody
What should I edit to set custom values in nik3r's EPS toggle for CPU max freq and max number of core allowed?
I'd like to set max freq at 1ghz, 2 cores allowed. I tried manually and it goes fine for light use.
Thanks

i think it's not possible to change this, because it is defined in kernel source code.
Ok so there is no way even adding something to userinit.sh?

nope. you can only get a cpu app with possibility to add profiles and make one for powersaving, but then there's no use for nik3rs EPS toggle

Install 2.1.1a or higher, and select "Nvidia Tegra 2..." as the frequency set. You will not be able to configure it as much as other phones, due to the way the Motorola kernel is built. Not until a super-dev is able to build a custom kernel for the Atrix...
You can't change the governor, but you can still set the minimum/maximum frequencies based on profiles, etc.
u can reduce speed, set screen off profile and reduce speed even more
or u can run it @ 1ghz all the time but the max u'll get is 1 ghz

Yeah because we don't have a modified kernel yet (See bootloader issues) we can do a minimum 216 and max 1000. Profiles work nicely though.
SetCPU increases performance 10%
That's the difference I experienced when I installed it.

Battery savings during under clocking is just great..
Hi.
My question is: Is there a way to overclock the cpu by specifying a set frequency, to run at, when opening a 3d application?
For example: The cpu is running by default at 480/600 (on any min/max like governor). When a 3d app is started the max value should scale up to 787 and then revert back to the default of 600 when the app is stopped/unfocused.
I checked out the profile creation feature of some cpu overclocking apps but didn't find any to provide this kind of functionality.

I don't think you can because setCPU doesn't have that option from what i saw.
Play with the governors, see which one fits your needs. Some of them won't go to 787 anyway if you don't force it to.
Check the governors out :
ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.
conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.
powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.
userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.
smartass – Included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

I'm using siyah kernel and would like to know how to change the CPU frequency should be locked to when highest GPU step is used.
to all using siyah kernel anyone know how/where to tweak this? TIA

I believe you use extweaks from the market....
I'm using extweak right now, mind telling me what part of it to tweak/set/adjust?
also in the CPU > SCHED_MC options are (0,1,2) which is the best? did really understand the description
edit: If you're on siyah kernel what sched_mc did you set?

Open extweaks and then go to the GPU section and simply change the value
Info: stock siyah is 500 and stock samsung is 1200

So, what you really want is changing your GPU clock?
Answer: not working yet on Siyah because of a small code from samsung but should work on next siyah 1.3

Oh i see, cause i read some post before you can use some code to tweak gpu lock but never mind cause its not working.
One last thing in the CPU > SCHED_MC which option did you set? 0,1, or 2? Didn't really much understand the description below, which saves more battery?
Can not answer this one: never touch this setting...
Ok thanks.
Hello, i have some questions about the cpu scaling of Android.. First, do the system use the lowest frequency when not in use? Aka screem off
After i unlock the phone do it always scale to max frequency or scale it based on the cpu needed? For example write a text makes the phone use thr same freq as playing a game?

It depends on the kernel u use on the custom rom
you have different governors while using setcpu or nofrills cpu control
search for a description there are quiet many of em
some are for saving battery, some sclae faster than others, some scale directly to max and sooo on
Hi All..
First lemme give my phone details:
Galaxy S3 International (i9300)
Kernel : Siyah 1.8.9
ROMs (Dual Boot)
: WanamLite v5.5 (based on ZSEMA1)
CM10.1 Nightly
MODS : JKAY framework
My problem is that there is noticeable UI lags when in the homescreen or the app drawer.
I have not overclocked/underclocked the CPU. Have no undervoltage setting as well. In STweaks, the max CPU freq is set to the stock 1400Mhz and the min CPU freq is set to the recommended 200Mhz. And I have kept the "touch boost level" to 1200Mhz.
When I see the UI lags, I used CPU spy to monitor the CPU speeds. What I could see was that the speeds were at the lower end (200 - 800 Mhz) !!! Since the touch boost level is set to 1200, shouldn't the CPU jump to 1200 Mhz when I unlock/touch the screen ? I agree that the CPU speed needn't stay at 1200Mhz after the speed boost, but shouldn't it stay at a freq to ensure that there is no UI lag ?
If the operating freq is at 1400Mhz, the UI is perfect !!! It goes to this state automatically usually (takes a while ), or manually I can make this happen by setting the min CPU freq to say 1300 MHz from STweaks. Once this state is hit, the UI wrks with no lag until say I lock the screen, or maybe the device goes to sleep for a while.
Any ideas as to why the CPU freq stays at lower values and doesn't come up enough to give a lag free UI ?

ANNNNNNNNNNNND what rom are you talking about!?! CM10.1 or Samsung? if you want a LAGG FREE phone do the following.
1: OverClock the CPU to 1.6ghz, then set min to 500mhz, use a -25mV or a -50mV
2: Set Governor to LULZACTIVEQ
3: Set MIN GPU freq to 266mhz
4: Set MAX GPU freq to 640mhz
5: Disable "gentle fair sleepers" on the CPU tab
6: Set the SCHEDULER to CFQ
7: Go to settings and enable GPU rendering
and FINALLY if non of the above work, FLASH Null_22.1 for a Samsung ROM. and Revolt, cm10.1, jellybam for a AOSP rom.
IF NON OF THAT WORK'S download super wipe and flash a new phone.
Can I just say, 1200mhz?!?! Default is 800 and I'm using 700 on my device. It's a bit extreme.
Perhaps your governor is affecting smoothness. Try using pegasusq. Or it may be the app your using to change CPU frequency doesn't even have ROOT access

No. Do not disable hardware overlays. That will, if anything, cause your device to lag more.

This is a quote from a guy over at rootzwiki
Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping.
Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled.

Maybe you're just lucky, I dunno. It's better to let a real dev share his/her input on this. I'm merely a noob who knows how to Google...

Uhm, you're welcome, I guess? :good:
It's probably smoother due to the fact that the CPU will be working at a higher frequency more often. Those that have disabled hardware overlays are causing their CPU to ramp up every time an application has to render an image

The lag is more obvious in the Touchwiz based Wanamlite ROM.
1) As i said, when running at 1.4Ghz (with stock voltage settings) itsef the UI is smooth. So I don't actually want to overclock. . The problem is that the CPU speed doesn't rise up and stays between 200-800 causing the lag.
2) Will try changing the governor (first let me read how it is different from pegasusq ).
3,4) Again, with stock settings itself the UI is smooth. The problem is what i have said under point 1.
5) Already done.
6) WIll try setting scheduler to CFQ (again, lemme read bout it first )
7) GPU rendering is already ticketd. Hardware overlays are not disabled (thought this would increase the lag).
Is NULL_22.1 a Touchwiz based ROM ? And Jelybam is an AOKP ROM I supose ?
Wouldn't want to do the last option.
Also, I saw that you have mentioned three ROMs in your signature. Siyah lets you dual boot right, how come 3 ? Or were you just talking about your preference ?
And, does siyah 1.8.9 for the S3 let us boot with NULL_22.1 and jellybam in dual boot? Are all these combos possible ?
Sammy + CM10.1 (this works, I knw )
Sammy + AOKP
AOKP + CM10.1

From what I understood, it just boosts upto 1200Mhz on touch and needn't stay there. Right ? The only downside there is battery life I suppose ?
Am already using pegasusq and yes, sTweaks does have root access.
