[Q] Root, SWAP, underclocking in Android 5 - LG G2 Mini

Hello everyone,
I'd like to get informations about our possibilities to make root, overclock (underclocking) and expand swap file.
1) Root - is it possible to root the phone without using kingroot?
2) Expand SWAP file - in Lollipop size of swap file is 200MB, I'd like to expand it, is it possible?
3) Underclocking - while I've tried to do underclocking my phone use only one core of 4 available, I'd like to underclock cores from 787 MHz to 300 MHz minimal frequency without losing multi cores support.
Regards.

1) check in the dev section, there's a guide for rooting with kingroot for then replacing it with su after, also check the flashable 5.0 LG ROM thread in there, saw someone talking about su
2) The 200mb is zram not actually a swap file. You can expand this, just search ram expander or swap in play store, and look through the apps.
3) Go into a build.prop editor search for min and find the one with minimum frequency now change the 787000 part into 300000. Also all four cores doesn't run constantly on the same time, they're activated and used as needed(i believe)

[Q] Problem with CPU frecuency after ICS update.

Hi, I've got a Xperia Neo V with locked bootloader, I had Gingerbread (compilation 0.42) but yesterday, I decided to install the oficial ICS update. I had installed Setcpu with these values: min245Mhz, max1024Mhz (governor: ondemand) , I updated to ICS and I noticed it was very slow, then I downloaded "Antutu cpu master", and the values were the same I used to use in GB, so I installed Gingerbread again, rooted it, installed setcpu and set these speeds, min1024Mhz, max1024Mhz (governor: performance) and that way I should have those values in ICS, but the problem is when I restart the phone, those values dissapear, and set 245,1024 and governor ondemand. When I select "Set on boot", it still being slow. I updated from GB to ICS (and vice versa) but there is no way to change those values (245,1024) and the governor(ondemand). Is there any way to modify cpu speed? For example modifying a specific configuration file without using setcpu or any other app?
I hope you understand me, and help if you can
Thanks!
Maybe a problem with the stock kernel.
You can try using terminal emulator if you can install the proper scripts.
But acc. to me it needs unlocked bootloader.

You could write a script to be run at boot (init.d) that changes CPU speed, however (this might be an obvious question) which kernel are you running??, because AFAIK Sony stock kernel doesn't allow OC/UV, meaning that no matter what you do you won't be able to change CPU speed or governor.

Sharing CPU Sleeper APP. (EUGENE_373)

Lemme note here, I deserve no credit, all code and all work was done by Eugene_373 and anyone mentioned below, this is simply a share from the T-MOBILE GALAXY s2 section of XDA, I have fully tested this app and found it to be working wonderfully on my SGH-I777
I love eugene's deving hence the share I hope you all enjoy if this has some way helped you in anyway go over to eugene's profile donate/thank him
App Version:
CPU Sleeper
~Free to all XDA Memebers
~ Must Be Rooted to use App
What is it?
Its a fairly simple App that will put CPU 1/2/3 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1/2/3 back ONLINE.
How does it work?
Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
Compatibility?
Works with any Dual Core & Quad Core Devices!
~ICS
~Gingerbread
Battery Saving?
Battery savings all depends on Usage & idle times.
App Download: CPUSleep.apk
Version 1.5 Release Notes:
~ Battery Drain issues 100% Fixed
~ Screen on Lag 100% Fixed
~ SU issues 100% fixed
~ Auto-Start on reboot 100% Fixed
~ Fixed Auto-Start killing Cell Service
~ Su Request on Screen Wake Fixed
~ Debugging enabled for those wanting to check if it's working.

Script Version!
Code:
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
[B]CPU Sleeper[/B]
[U]What is it?[/U]
Its a fairly simple script that will put CPU 1 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1 back ONLINE.
[U]How does it work?[/U]
Since we have dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1, core 1 and core 2, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active, this script will make sure CPU 1 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
[B][COLOR="red"]WARNING! READ THIS![/COLOR][/B]
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
[U][COLOR="Red"]Instructions[/COLOR][/U]
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
[I]Version 1: Flashable[/I]
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
[I]Version 2: Script only[/I]
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
[U]Init.d supported kernel:[/U]
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
[U]Script Manager[/U]
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
[U]What do I do if I can't boot after using this?[/U]
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.

Used this for a day now. Seems to work. Will test some more. Using the app by the way.

hotplug, sched_mc
I'm running aokp + fluxxi also..is this app any different from hotplug settings or SCHED_MC level settings in xxTweaker?

Hotplugging and sched_mc are kind of synonymous. The difference is that sched_mc allows you to force a particular pattern of behavior (1 = fill 1 core first, 2 = activate both). This app attempts to force 1 core offline when the screen is off. It's kind of like an extreme version of sched_mc = 1 in that it doesn't allow both cores to be activated. However, I'm not sure if it is capable of preventing the second core from coming online. It may check periodically and subsequently turn it off. I don't think it would have much benefit on our devices; our hotplugging is competent and sufficient. I suppose anything is worth trying though.
looks interesting!
Every now and then i get cpusleep has been granted superuser permissions when the screen is on and im surfing the net or playing a game.

Does it work fine with setcpu ?

How do I edit RAM disk to set CPU and memory settings?

How do I set CPU and memory settings and making it persists on boot without installing any app? Is this possible? I want to know how i can set cpu settings like governor and cpu frequency and memory settings like zram size, disabling zram, enabling swap, and setting minfree.
I learnt i can do this by editing the ramdisk but do not know where to edit nor do i see instruction on how to accomplish it. If there's anything I can do apart from editing ramdisk, I'll appreciate if you can post it or give a link to already existing resources. I know i can get ramdisk by unpacking the boot.img of my phone so i can easily know how to unpack by using Google.
I also learnt that i can disable zram by typing swapoff dev/block/zram0 in terminal emulator but i was surprised it never worked for my tecno y2 phone. Here i attached the output of terminal emulator after running the free command before and after running swapoff. However I was able to disable zram with ex kernel manager but i was also surprised to see that doesn't free up memory occupied by zram. My phone is using a whopping 392mb of zram. I also tried using ex kernel manager to change the zram size but without success.
I'm new to android and just learning some of its tweaks but atimes the more i read and compare information from several sources the more i get confused. All I need is direction on how to get things done, that way I'll be able to learn and even understand more about the directions given to me.
Ps: i couldn't get how to upload image from my phone

How to Improve performance in CPU and GPU

Telegram Group:
{Mod edit: Link removed!}
Low RAM, outdated processors and outdated storage technology are factors that slow Android devices down. Viruses and malware doesn’t do much to improve matters either. Keeping all these factors in mind, limited CPU clock speed is the main reason for Android devices not performing to its fullest. But keep in mind, that this can only be done after you get superuser access for your device. Overclocking your device means forcing your device to perform at its maximum power.
For overclock CPU and GPU need some Requirements
There are a few things that you need to do before overclocking your device:
1) Rooted Android Device
2) Fully Charged Device
3) Backup of your files
*******************************************************
The first thing that you need to do is root your device.
Step 2: After rooting your device, you need to download and install SetCPU for Android users. After you’ve installed it, launch the app and then give it Superuser access.
Step 3: After installing SetCPU, you have to allow the app to scan the available speeds of a processor. After your device has been detected, you have to balance the minimum and maximum speed for your Android CPU switching. Click on 'Set to Boot’ when you feel like the speed of your device is stable.
Step 4: After following the steps above, you will be creating profiles so that you can set terms and conditions when SetCPU should underclock or overclock your processor speed.
Step 5: Taking Battery Charging as an example for a profile, you can create a profile that overclcoks your device while it is being charged. You can have various priorities according to your preferences for each created profile.
There are other apps that you can use to overclock your device.
1. Kernel Adiutor (ROOT)
2. Smartpack kernel manager
3. Franco kernel manager
