Hello to all and thank you for taking the time to read this. I have a galaxy s5 tmobile obviously haha with android 4.4.2 and BNH5 baseband version. I recently about a month ago rooted my device using chain fire auto root. And the main purpose was for making the battery last longer and i have found alot on set cpu as far as what frequencies to under clock to but i have looked everywhere for how to use rom toolbox pro and no frills cpu. My questions are 1. What are safe frequencies to under clock to? 2. How do i create a profile on one of these programs (please provide a step by step guide as i do not know what the priority means or how to set priority meaning do i set priority at 100% for all profiles) i am very new to rooting and i have found alot of knowledge on xda but i still have many questions and haven't been able to find answers to them anywhere even on xda so i dont know if im looking in the wrong place or the answers dont exist. Also i use battery saver alot and by alot i mean 100% of the time. I would like to start steering away from this if at all possible. Using grey scale is getting kind of boring lol Thank you all very much in advance for your help and any information that you can provide

Hi guys,
I have just successfully installed Cyanogen 7.1 on my Legend. I've been searching a little here and there regarding configurations, clocking & such. Found this very clear guide on how to overclock a Legend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794829
However, when I navigated to Settings-> CyanogenMod settings-> Performance-> CPU settings
I found a built in option to set both max & min CPU frequency......so I'm wondering, is it still needed to follow the guide I linked or can I overclock the phone by just changing the CPU frequencies in the menu I found?
Yeah, you could do it your way, but with overclocking, you'll be finding yourself switching back and forth often.
Use SetCPU. It's not free on the market, but free for XDA forum users.
So I fixed SetCPU on the phone, but I have absolutely no clue how to use it (I'm quite the newb when it comes to this). Is there any guide on how to use the application? Perhaps even for Legend specifically?
Also, is there a point in chaning my kernel version?
Right now, and I never changed it, I have:
2.6.32.17
What's not to understand in SetCPU? Tap autodetect and set your clocks. If you're unable to perform such a task, then don't even try to overclock.

There's a whole lot not to understand when seeing the application for the first time. And IF there would be a guide, catching up and understanding the application would go faster.
I'm sure you were new to overclocking at some point aswell cyRq. Or perhaps you're a born OC-genious?
Anyway, I managed to figure out how to use it.
Actually I've had a couple of awards/points on hwbot.org if you're really asking me about OC...
A genius? Not really. But I obtained a magical skill called reading (sometimes I can even write).
But seriously...good to hear that you've managed to figure things out. Good look and don't smoke your phone.

What's wrong with this guide???
Sometimes I wonder what would happen to this society in time. People fortunate enough to have everything at their disposal act as they were blind, def and cripled. Pitty.
I thought the purpose of a Q&A section is for dumb people to ask dumb questions? If you don't agree with/can't handle that without spamming question marks & express your fear of future society, then why bother to look in these threads at all?
I never saw the guide you reffered to, and obviously I already knew from the start that there is guides out there. I was asking if any kind soul had the power to link a good one. I could've searched for & found a guide myself, hell I learnt the goddam application without one.
I was asking for a friendly advice is all.
zzzzzzzzzZ(z)
--> oh, & calm down :X cool senior members acting all arrogant, now that's a pitty
Spam is yours... repeating the same question over and over again. I answered you clear and simple with a link to a guide that has been there since I don't remember how long.
Q&A is definitely not storage for duplicate questions. And I certainly don't see any arogance in my answer which I'm sure will help someone.
Alright alright. In the end it comes down to me not wanting to sabotage my phone by lack of experience.
Your post was helpful, however slightly spiced with condescension. But that's alright, my bad for expecting anything else on the internet.
I lay down my sword
I put "setcpu" into Google's search box and 1st hit was that guide...

Okok, once again I stand corrected.
Don't worry mate, I knew it was a lazy question. And as I wrote earlier; I am aware that there is a whole bunch of guides for setcpu out there. My only thought was that there might be some specific configurations for HTC Legend alone that could be made, and perhaps there would be a guide for that. Which is the reason for why I opened this thread under HTC Legend section in the first place.
Hello everyone, I'd just like to start by saying that I apologize if this thread has already been answered, but I just searched for it and I need some definitive answers that I haven't been able to find. Also this is my first forum post, so please bear with me if something has been answered in another thread for this phone.
I just got an HTC One X+ through AT&T and I really like it. THE ISSUE IS: The phone has a supremely fast processor, mine scoring 7697 in the standard Quadrant benchmark, but, in GPU intensive games from the Play Store, I am experiencing severe lag, especially in need for speed most wanted. I have read that the original One X had issues with not all of the processor cores being utilized and fluctuating CPU clock speeds, and that it can be fixed using one of the methods from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664391
I was wondering:
1) Is it possible for me to carry out any of the methods in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664391) on an HTC One X+? By that I mean can I root a One X+ on AT&T?
2) If so, how would I go about rooting the device? (please be detailed this is my first android product)
3) Would I need an overclockable kernel? How would I get this?
4) Will I lose all of my contacts?
5) Would there be an easier way to fix my problem? I know it isn't my device in particular, I have read of other cases of this lag.
Thanks for the consideration, hopefully if I can get this resolved this post will be able to help other noobs (yes I know, the video said not to be one) who are trying to learn about their One X+ devices.
Any advice is welcomed! :laugh:

So the first thing to do would be to unlock boot loader and gain root, there should be many guides in the development section that will cover this in more detail. Install ARHD or similar to improve speed and gain access to governors. The og one x mods and such should work with our phone because of the identical hardware. The last thing we need is overclock and such kernels don`t exist yet anyway, the tweak that helped the most with the og one x was probably gpu overclock which our phone has stock. I would recomend backing up contacts and such in HTC sync first though. Try the renovate gaming boost app, works like a charm.
The root method you linked is not for the one x+.
The One x+ is not an overclocked version of the One x, it is a whole new phone.
Use this thread to unlock the bootloader and root when the time is right,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961
you will lose everything on your phone. Between HTC sync, and Google sync you should be able to recover everything important. You will still have to redownload your apps, and make all the little tweaks.
Currently there are no custom ROM's for the ATT versions.
Dunno if the any of the CPU controller apps will work or help you though. I would not use any kernel until the there is one in the One x+ development thread that is conformed to work with ATT phones.
Currently the devs are not being good about stating clearly whether something is international or ATT, so read the threads carefully.
It wasn't too hard to root my AT&T One X+, it only took me around 30 minutes.
The all-in-one toolkit made it really easy.
I was having issues with ADB, so I had to copy the SuperSU.zip over to the phone via Dropbox, but it wasn't too hard.
However, I tried to overclock the CPU a bit to get rid of some UI lag, but it didn't allow me, most likely because the phone is on the original kernel.

I do not own an AT&T One X+ but thinking about upgrading to it from my HTC One XL. Apparently the One X+ comes with a battery saver mode and I know I've read somewhere (sorry, I forgot where exactly ) that unless disabled, it will cause lag in some instances since the CPU won't utilize its maximum values. The One X+ just hit the scene here in the US and a few developers have popped up for the ocassion to aid the AT&T variant of the device and thanks to this amazing community that is XDA, people have collected enough money to buy 2 AT&T phones to 2 developers: Lloir and Hasoon2000. As Joshua previously posted, there are no current ROMs that are solely for AT&T but that will change in the future. Bootloader unlocking and rooting your One X+ seems relatively simple. If I were to get the phone, the first thing I'd do is unlocking its bootloader since AT&T may make it unlockable via HTCDev upon future updates (OTA or newer phone revisions). Go with what sarcasticphoneix was posting about using the One-Click tool If anything happens, we're here to help. Just remember to read carefully about some tweaks/mods compatibility with your phone. It's a standard procedure not just for the One X+ but for every phone out. Research is a must. Hope everything works out and good luck.
Hello all.
I'd like to start with my issue: I bought an HTC One X+ a few months ago and it has been good. Like many others though, I am having terrible gaming performance when playing anything that isn't Hillclimb Racing or Vector. When gaming, I always want high framerates, as a pc gamer I've grown accustomed to it, that's why I originally bought the phone, considering Nvidia provides the processor. I know this is a common issue due to CPU and GPU scaling. I want to root my phone to get rid of this problem (using a program called setcpu, I believe). Now, I know this has been posted before, but everywhere I look it seems as though people are forgretting that not everybody is as familiar with android as they are. I can build a computer and jailbreak/modify an iPhone, but android is still foreign to me. I ask that you consider this when, if you so choose, you answer these questions below:
1) Is there a way to root a standard AT&T HTC One X+ as of right now?
2) If so, how would I go about doing this? I understand for the most part how to unlock the bootloader, but a comprehensive step by step tutorial is what I need, from another user who knows what they are doing and can explain it.
3) If I root the device. How would I get a Kernel like setcpu on my device? What would the process be? Is there a better option?
4) Is there anything else I would need to or should do to improve gaming performance on my phone?
I want to conclude with the hope that I get a reply to this post. I desperately want to unlock to potential of my phone, I just need proper guidance. I appreciate all who have taken the time to read and reply to this post and I wish you all the best in your technological endeavours.

1. Please use the search feature.
2. Please use the search feature.
3. As of right now, it is not easy to overclock a Tegra 3. It seems as if the changes only apply to one of the CPUs.
4. You can enable the "force GPU rendering" option under developer options for a boost on 2D games.

Like sarcasticphoenix said...search, search, search. I'm pretty new to Android but for all the talk I've seen about the "lack" of development for the HOX+ is seems like there is plenty going on to me. I guess maybe compared to the GSIII and other devices that may be true but I think I've found everything and anything I'd want in these forums.
I'll save you a little time and give you a few links that helped me when I recently unlocked and rooted.
This is a great thread breaking down all the ROMS, kernels, tools and mods for the X+

Good luck and happy rooting!
Im not sure if this is the place for this, sorry if not.
I have read similar threads but non of the offered solutions worked for me. As you can see in the screenshots phone never goes to deep sleep. Minimum cpu usage is 200Mhz. There is no google maps or such gps using apps and location services is turned off. The phkne doesnt have any warrant and its been like this for a long time. I thought maybe xda community could help me figure out what causes it. Thanks to everyone in advance.
I couldn't load the images because it doesnt allow me to post links because im a new user. I attached them to the thread.
Honestly, you're probably better off posting in the BetterBatteryStats thread, much more likely to get useful help there given the people who hang around that thread are used to providing specific help to people with this stuff. You could spend ages (days/more) mucking around in Q&A & not get anywhere.
Thanks, i will

Alright, let's go then to the actual question. i have the MediaTek version of the redmi note 4 with the latest version of epic rom. i wanted to reduce the clocking speed of my cpu since the phone keeps on getting realy hot but for some reason every change that i make get immediately changed back. Is there a way to make that stop so i can have control of my cpu?
