[REQ][MOD]GingerDX Xperia X8 With Bravia Hacks & 810MHz CPU Overclock Support - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

>>For doixanh<<
I have been using both of this ROM:
-GingerDX V017 From (doixanh)
-GingerXperia V9 FINAL From (xperiafan13)
Im currently use GingerXperia(Managing to move to GingerDX)
Both are awsome ROM i ever try
From my experiment,
-GingerDX:
*Fast,Smooth and stable @ 600MHz CPU Clock Speed.Max Clock @768MHz only
*All function working including Wifi with ad hoc support.
-GingerXperia:
*Fast,smooth but not smooth as GingerDX do(Currently believe faster than GingerDX)@ 800MHz Max Clock @ 810MHz
*Wifi got bug?Wifi able to scan for network but when i try to connect it cant,just stay "remembered".Scaning>connecting>Disconnected,looping over and over again.
*Bravia Engine Hacks.WOW!!
*Portable WiFi hotspot.Still have some bug
I Wish (doixanh) next ROM(GingerDX) Update will have Bravia Hack as previous ROM are Supported if i not mistake.
Bravia Engine For X8.YES ITS TRUE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267929
Support Overclocking @ 810Mhz.Im sure,Many people will happy with all of this improvment and its PERFECT.I know 768MHz is enough but its not enough for gaming,especially on 3D games.As long as i use SMARTASS governor it wouldn't be a problem for my battery and underclock it back to 600Mhz after gaming right?Maybe should have gaming mode..lol.btw i putting big hope for all of this to happen.Owh, i almost forgot this,if u mind,add portable wifi hotspot too.
Im too new to this site and i cant post reply and suggestion on your post.So PLEASE can u make this happen?
All the best,
PhillboyTMP and Thank You
Fresh Noob here

Are you not afraid overheat CPU?

Its depends on you,for me it ocing to 800Mhz only when gaming,undervolt it back if u not.Btw,what phones you have?
I have X8

where i can find gingerDX rom???

This is a real bad phone... I've been having probs with mods...
Maybe a kernel upgrade will fix when using GingerDX?

[KERNEL]vorkKernel for CM (It's back)[20111026]

Hi. The following kernel is presented to you by
vorkKernel Team:
- kiljacken
- Benee​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This kernel is for Cyanogenmod (and in theory any other CM based rom). *Could* be incompatible with latest kangs or nightlies (after a kernel update from CM team). No support for sense...
New vorkKernel Twitter Bot: Here
First I wanted to thank Thalamus for his awesome base kernel - Thanks man . Than I wanted to thank the CM Team for the awesome developement work. Without you guys the Desire weren't such a great device.
Features:
Oc to 1113 Mhz
toggable AVS via app or flags (Credits to dzo and thalamus for avs)
Default IO-Sched is Deadline with a special flash storage tweak
Slub allocator
Tiny-Rcu
BFS Cpu Sched
compiled with a tweaked toolchain (base linaro gcc)
overall compiler optimizations
flags! (more below in the flag section)
A App for easy downloading and configuring. Credits to kiljacken!

Download (Market)
Credits to kiljacken for this awesome app! You need OI File Manager for the app (Comes with CM)!
(and if you refuse to use the app - or the app is refusing to work with you: here)
Only change something, if you want to enable OC - No need to touch anything else (like govenors, schedulers)​
What are flags and how can I use them?
I recommend to use the App kiljacken made, because it's super easy for you guys. If you not want to use the app *sadpanda* then you can click this link. This is the file the app is fetching to generate the UI.
The layout is following:
Available for following device/Element style (more below)/the flag you need to add/Flag name in App/Description for general Flag/Choice name in app/actual value you need to add after flag name
If the last two points are added you first enter the flag name and than the value. For example: density230
You connect the flags with a: -
Example: -camera-ring ...
The script is configured to detect flags after vorkKernel-VERSIONNUMBER. So you can add some flags after this.
Element style
c = Checkbox
l = List you can choose things from
e = you can enter your own value​

Error Reporting Guide
Start with rebooting, if that doesn't help, reflash CM and then the kernel, and check again. If you're using the updater app (make sure you have the latest version), use the error report function (and describe what you're problem is). If you're not using the app, then post what flags you are using, along with what your problem is.​

Additionally I just want to point out that I'm not doing this as a fulltime job, so don't expect daily updates or something like that. I will try to fix a problem as fast as possible but in some cases it can take a while.
If you want to support me you can sign up on dropbox via my referral link or just push this nice thanks button .. If you want to donate you can donate to thalamus or the cm team something. I'm learning C and linux and vorkKernel is my learning project and it is a hobby for me. Anyway if you still want to support a poor student, I have a link above my avatar
Thanks to:
the whole CM Team
thalamus (for base kernel and being totally awesome)
Erasmux
All guys that made pull request and contributed in any possible way
Donators to our project (app or kiljacken's donate link)
the android community
and a very big thanks to b3ndech0 for his buildbox.
Thanks! Will test it soon.!
Did you tested it with Defrost 4.1? Get random reboots with his kernels hope your will solve this!
I run it with cm. And df and cm are nearly the same so maybe it will work for you. (My desire don't like high oc so this slight oc could fix your problems)
I'm using opendesire 4.0.15 and the wifi doesn't work with this kernel. When i try to activate wifi, it says "Error" in the menu. If I try a full wipe will it help?
Oh, and what's the difference between havs and svs kernels (i installed havs, it was first on the list)? Now if it's a "when you ask this you really shouldn't be here" type of question, I apologize for spamming...
Thanks a lot Desire ftw

Ah thanks .... oc was not the problem i dont use OC ;-) because i need SetCPU for it. Is this the same with your Kernel? Do i need SetCPU?
Will look into the wifi issue when I'm at a PC again. And SVS (static voltage scaling) is the standard to set the Mhz and HAVS is a method from intersectraven which mixes SVS and AVS (AVS uses the temperature of the cpu to set the clock). HAVS uses slight less battery.
Hope I managed it to explain this good enough.

I don't use it and don't see a reason for using it, because the max voltage from standard max clock (1275mv) to the oc (1113 Mhz) (1275mv) is the same.
it is work for opendesire?
I'm sure this was asked above this post, however, I'm confused if I should use SetCPU with this Kernel, or it automatically sets it at 1.1GHz? Would I still need SetCPU to increase the frequency?
First I pulled the release because I forget to add the wifi module. Will upload it tomorrow again. Then fully working.
Then no need for setcpu. The Kernel will set the clock itself (max 1113 Mhz).
Both Kernals work with OpenDesire 4.0.17 (experimental) but I had problems with ADW Launcher f/c Launcher Pro/Zeam/GDE and Stock Launcher seem fine. Notice Wi-Fi so no further testing. Will be interesting to see what if any affect HAVS has on battery with OD as this does give good life already. Used to use PAYS Rom with HAVS and that made big difference to batt so we will see. Look forward to tomorrow.
Thanks for your contribution to Desire and good luck.
please
pls add exact values for uv and axi.

How is batterie drain with this Kernel? Now use Defrost with svs 1113mhz and Batterie drain is big, bigger than the OD Kernel with the same MHz.
I'm using the HAVS one mainly and I'm quite satisfied with the Battery. But hard to tell because it variates thru different usage and settings (like Display brightness)

the values for axi bus speed. how much mhz at which processor frequency. and the millivolt values for every processor frequency. just 2 tables for comparism with other kernels.

[Kernel] MetalliKernel 10.1 CM9-HWA a6 [150-1380mhz] [384mhz GPU] [7/5 -Feature List]

Alright so here's the first release of this kernel for codeworkx's CM9 with hardware acceleration.
Again this is for codeworkx's cm9.
Also, this is for codeworkx's cyanogenmod 9.
One more time, this is for cm9 only.
Finally, this is for cm9 and cm9 only!
Don't let the "alpha" title fool you into thinking it's not stable... it is... It's only alpha because it's still in the "testing" phase.
FEATURES/CHANGES
Overclockable to 1.38GHz
Underclockable to 150MHz
GPU overclocked to 384MHz (highest possible without bottlenecking and battery waste)
Tuned OnDemand Governor (recommended)
Interactive Governor with time view concept (learns from your use and adjust parameters accordingly)
Wheatley Governor (optimized use of C4 state)
Hotplug Governor (turns of one of the cpus to save power when load is very low)
Pegasusq Governor (A better version of Hotplug, but experimental and not designed for our devices)
SIO scheduler for speed/performance with flash storage
Linaro Toolchain
Linaro optimizations and patches
Linaro makefile compiler flags
Makefile Optimizations to boost performance
Optimized CRC32
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Tiler Memory increased to 32MB (linaro)
Other Tiler patches/tweaks to improve 2D gpu performance
SLQB allocator
lib/string use glibc version for speed
lib/memcopy use glibc version for speed
lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1 and removed ARM sha1 routines
I/O backport from 3.2 linux kernel for less dirty throttling
Tweak CPUIDLE to enter deep sleep faster thus saving battery
LowMemoryKiller backported from 3.4 kernel
Disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS for improved performance
Allow Deep Sleep to occur when media decoder is active allowing the cpu to shut off when playing music or video.
Allow MPU logic to power down when in deep sleep to save power.
Increased default readahead value to 1024KB for faster sdcard reads
A lot of stuff I probably forgot I did.
Also includes a ridiculous amount of bugfixes, patches, and tweaks that can found on my github commit log.
***Read Me***
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, USE SETCPU PROFILES OF ANY KIND OR ANYTHING SIMILAR WITH THIS DEVICE. Things like screen off max frequency, temperature throttling, and others are already built in to the OMAP architecture. Using ANY profiles will ONLY lead to problems, instabilities, and battery drain.
***************
Let me know how it "feels" especially by default without overclocking or underclocking. Also I'd be interested in how the battery treats you. Thanks!

Which boot screen. I think I know the issue if its not the cyanogenmod one.

I have this issue too and it's the Tab2 10.1 screen. (the first one that shows during boot)
It's the Tab 2 Splash screen. I can adb, go into DL, and get into CWM so it's fine... it just won't boot.
Yeah its probably because I forgot to use the 10.1 ramdisk. I'll upload a fixed version shortly.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
No worries man.
Thanks for getting started anyway, a lot of devs can use your fork now.
New version up. In addition to some bugfixes and reverts, this time the espresso10 ramdisk is actually used instead of the 7 inch version
Now it installs fine. What app should I use to control it? NSTools, Voltage Control, CPU Master, etc...

Glad to hear it. Let me know how it runs.
Really doesn't matter what you use as they all modify the same sysfs entries. I like no frills CPU control because its simple and only does what I need it to do.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
Changing OC settings with NSTools or CPU control causes reboot. Settings don't change.
I can change min freq and governor (tried it with interactive and wheatly), just not max freq.
Works like a charm now. I'll keep you up to date on performance once I've done some testing.
Works fine in voltage control, and stable at 1380 so far with little heat. I haven't really stressed it though but it does run smoother and more responsive than before. The GPU seems snappier too. Great job.

Can you post a complete "feature list" with next version ? Oh, and can Voodoo sound be integrated for better (sound) quality ? I'll keep pressing the thanks button.
Thanks for the kernel, will test it later this day.
Maybe you can add an how to flash guide for the n00bs who want to flash but don't know how to do it?
works works works!!!!!!!!!! like an awsomeness thing! hehe i know that i can trust on you m8, but i did ask for it..yet and you made it! thx really THX!!!!!!
Hi,
Thank you for work but is what I am to have a problem of hangs and of connection with WIFI
Been testing the kernel with default settings for some hours now ... started using it since 11.oo this morning and started with a full battery. After playing some games (tablet/battery temperature stayed normal) and browsing the net, checking emails and some more stuff i must say the kernel works smooth and my tablet runs faster. Am using the kernel for 3.5 hours and the battery is at 71%. No weird things happened so far. WiFi and bluetooth both work fine in other words...
the kernel feels goOOOood

[Modules] Galaxy3 Eclair Governor and sio modules

I compiled a module for testing eclair and i thought nobody use eclair but i found some people using eclair! So i hope this would be a help
THIS is module pack for Eclair users there are Interactive and Minmax governor which controls cpu policy and sio governor is simple i/o scheduler many people say sio is best for disk scheduling
Usage
1.Download File
2.Move ~.ko[All files end with .ko] to /system/lib/modules[if folder does not exist make them]
3.Use script load_symsearch.sh
4.Use script Governor+Sio.sh
5.Now you can control them with using app like cpu master or no frills
DOWNLOAD. http://db.tt/rgY26xKe
Thanks to Mike Chan [interactive source]
Thanks to Skrilax_CZ [symsearch source]
Thanks to Erasmux [minmax port from conservative]
Thanks to Miguel Boton [Sio source]
Thanks to the one who made load_symsearch.sh
What do the modules do? What are the advantages? How do you install them? Please answer all these questions in the first post.

U know, governors, like in setcpu and CM settings, they help you choose between what kind of performance you want from the cpu and more options to save battery etc.
And a scheduler is a code that I guess decides like how much time of cpu should be given to what task. That also has different effects on performance and regular usage.
Every governor & scheduler has its own advantages and disadvantages.
SIO scheduler is relatively new and considered better for overall performance.
BFQ is good for streaming videos and audio.
And I forgot what Noop & CFQ scheduler do, theres is lot of information on these schedulers, just google it.
So basically governors control power & schedulers control time.
Oh I misunderstood the thread. Anyway, the best scheduler from my experience is noop, not sio. Noop gives much better performance.
Press the thanks button if I helped.
gr8 !
As Froyo is total garbage of garbages, CM7.2a has many HW malfunction (camera, GPS, bluetooth) and CM9 has specially performance issue, I am thinking about revert to Eclair JK1.
So I guess this is very good idea make some kernel with overclock + more filesystem support
because of testing 4.0.4 to disable IPN code I had to flash JK1 !
What a surprise ! , what a speed
And specially ALL HW is working
But without CWM , Extended power menu, link2sd support ,

[DEV][KERNEL][Overclock] CM10.1 (4.2.2) - 3.1 kernel

To All,
I have Compiled a kernel, compatible with Derartem's CM10.1 (4.2.2). It is actually a clone of DerArtems kernel tree, with overclock additions (some borrowed from Xoom and AC100).
Overclock up to 1400Mhz (1600Mhz is also available in the overclocking list, but crashes hard on my Folio, altough it uses similar speed&voltages as the Xoom) -> Update: works at 1.6Ghz (Folio can't handle the overvolting of the Xoom, but is stable at lower voltage). However.. It does not really benefit from 1.6Ghz in benchmarks (probably due to worse multipliers)
I have also changed parameters of the 3D clocks to become similar to the Xoom overclock, so it might also have overclocked the GPU (but I'm not able to test this)
In V2 I have tried to reclaim some memory. GPU uses 128Mb, but 64Mb won't work in Jelly Bean. The HDMI Framebuffer uses 16Mb, so I have reclaimed this space (result: probably broken HDMI)
->361Mb usable
In V3: LP1 state
In V4: LP2 state seems to work better than LP1 (immediate wake-up, no double click of power button). No SOD on my unit up to 1.4Ghz. Not sure what it will do for battery life in sleep (processor still goes to deep sleep state, so impact might be limited). Also first step made to disable battery alarm.
V1: only OC (1.4Ghz works)
V1 OC boot image
V2: OC up to 1.6Ghz, + some memory remapped
V2 OC+mempatch boot image
V3: OC up to 1.6Ghz, + LP1 sleep
V3 OC+mempatch+LP1 boot image
V4: OC up to 1.6Ghz + LP2 sleep
V4 V4 second download source
V4b: OC up to 1.6Ghz, buth with (standard) LP0 sleep
V4b
V5: OC up to 1.6Ghz, LP0 sleep and some clock cleanups (e.g. removed 216Mhz)
V5
V6: V5 + Workaround for 1.6Ghz SOD
V6 link
V7: V6 + Deadline I/O scheduler (can be enabled in developer mode or your favourite overclock app). Default stays the NOOP scheduler
V7
V8: Try SOD workaround on the MMC

Be careful. I'm not responsible to damages to your Folio. Overclocking might destroy your tablet
(Tough, a burned Folio it is a perfect excuse to buy a new tablet... I can really recommend the Nexus 10 or the Galaxy Note 10.1 )
How to install:
Be sure to have DerArtem's CM10.1 release (only tested with alpha2)
run these commands with fastboot (check forum on how to install this on your PC. Enter fastboot mode on the folio by 3xpower+Volume Up):
Code:
fastboot erase linux
fastboot flash linux boot-ovc.img
Overclock can be enabled in "Instellingen -> Prestaties -> Processor -> Maximale kloksnelheid"
(translated to English this should be something like "Setup -> Performance -> Processor -> Maximum clockspeed")
Don't be too quick to set the overclocking speed at boot until you tested it well.
What to expect?
1000Mhz (no overclock)
Antutu: 8211
Linpack Multithread: 80
3DMark: 1461 (on Par with a stock Xoom)
1400Mhz (max overclock)
Antutu: 11654
Linpack Multithread: 121
3DMark: 1915

The Cyanogenmod Team
The other Tegra Dev Teams where we have borrowed code (Adam, GTab, Vega, AC100, Xoom)
EDIT (known issue): Some more SOD issues come up when putting the Folio on standby at high clocks, but it is quite stable during use.
SOD's
Apparently not everyone has SOD's, but for some it is still a problem.
- Many use advanced wifi lock: this works, but keeps the tablet completely on (hight battery usage)
- At 1.6Ghz I also have an SOD (reproducable), but can be worked around with the app "Overclock Widget". Here you can set a max speed of 1600 in use, and 1000 when screen is off. Maybe this is also usable for the SOD at 1000Mhz (set e.g. to 600 when screen is off, overclock kernel is not necessary).
Nice job spicyalan.
Just one question, why OC instructions are in german ? Does this mean that the menu will switch to german or the ui will remain as it is now ?
Onother question, whay did you try to reclaim memory ?
Thanks

They are in dutch, but you will get them in the language your system is setup.
After compiling and installing the kernel several times, I was just too lazy to set the language of my folio to "english" for explaining
(You also need to set the setup app in developer mode (tapping on the build number numerous times)
One of the problems the folio is slow in 4.2, especially task switching, is the lack of memory (even zram does not solve this).
Out of 512mb:
- 128Mb is reserved for the GPU
- 8Mb for the framebuffer
- 16Mb for the hdmi framebuffer
Setting the gpu memory to 64 works, but fails to accellerate some 3d content (even outside games). This would have worked in gingerbread, but not jelly bean. I couldn't try 96Mb (crash at boot), so it needs to stay at 128. Framebuffer is also a nono, but the framebuffer ram of the hdmi can be reused (if you don't use the hdmi)
For the SOD, more investigation is needed.
No folio ROM was ever free of SODs (not even stock), but some roms have more problems with it than others. For me, gingerbread (7.2?) And the most recent derartem was the most stable in that regard. It is not easy to know where the SODs come from, but with the overclocking, I noticed it is worse at higher overclock. I'm starting to guess it has something to do with the processor going from total sleep to max speed too fast (if you prevent cpu sleep, it also helps the sod, but using a lot of battery during sleep. Some roms did this).
Same with wifi.
I'm going to test a new version of the rom soon (derartem's version, with cm10.1 upstream, and oc kernel), so stay tuned (but be patient...)
Very nice work! Finally an overclocked kernel that can increase a bit performances.
Thank you man

I have put an experiment online with the LP state
According to tegra documentation, there are 3 states:
-LP0: shut down everything, only a few interrups can wake the device
-LP1: shut down a lot, but more things can wakeup the device
-LP2: shut down less.
If I look in the the sources, there are only 2 devboards that use LP0, and the betelgeuse (folio) is one of them. But, as all other boards can only use LP1 (andseeing the exceptionally bad SOD track record of the folio), I would be surprised if the folio as actually able to to this.
I have places a version online that uses LP1 state, that I will test (but as I don't have the problem as often, it could be nice if others could also test to confirm if it is better or not). I was not able to have an SOD today on a clock lower than 1.2Ghz.
I did experience sometimes that I have to push twice on the power button to wake it up (reminds me of CM7.2)
next to that, I also suspect the wifi driver of some SOD'in (especially in higher overclock mode). It shouldn't actually shut down in sleep mode....
Hello,
I was on the way to try V3: OC up to 1.6Ghz, + LP1 sleep but the lik seems dead...
Can you check ?
Thanks
PS: V1 works great

Sorry,
Typo in the filename.
I think the lp1 sleep might nog be the answer to the sod (which is worse on higher clocks). But worth a try.
Probably the wifi driver is te cause (wifi lock is the only thing that keeps sod away at high clocks). At 1000mhz, my folio has no sod.

This is really something struggleing me. I have SOD:
- every boot is I do forget to unlock my profile before of sleep (I have two profiles)
- almost every time i put the tablet in std-by
what a strange behaviour and difference...

the same is here - any action with screensaver ends with reboot
branch android-tegra-nv-3.1 i my case is stabler - i'v no sods than rel-15r7

I have compared both tree's, and it seems rel-15r7 is +500 patches ahead, but also 136 behind. Most changes are now useless (e.g. many refer to the old partition system), but I have found a few wifi and SOD fixes in there not present in rel15r7. But they need to be hand-picked and checked.
For me this ROM update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-2012.03.04-betelgeuse-KANG-signed have NO SOD.
Sometimes have a problem with WiFi connection, but when you clear all saved and then connect again, then have no problem.
Cantdownload de kernels.. it shows only another page with te text.
Or may i have to copy the text?

No luck yet...
Most of the patches conflict, and the few others result in an unbootable kernel...
I'm not an experienced kernel developer, so I'm kind of flying blind (and using the trial and error method)
My folio doesn't show sod's that often in cm 10.1 (maybe once every 2 weeks), but is do have them at 1400mhz and up. The only thing keeping them away at this speed is advanced wifi lock.
I'm going to move the file hosting to goo.im soon (the files seem to download fine in firefox on windows, but in the default android browser, I also get a .txt.... weird)

U have to much free time ?
Cant follow U I'm like U not so expirenced in linux kernel drivers building, perhaps we can share our/ouus findings with nopy and artem ?
My folio works few days without sod - but it weakups time to time when battery goes too low - as i'm in home, i can see it - screen blinks for few seconds, derartem has ported drivers from 2.6 to 3.1. In my opinion it's worth to wait for him.

Not too much time... but sometimes I have
Waking up on low battery is still normal (many phones do it), but it shouldn't sod, nor should it wake up at random
Did anyone have contact with nopy or derartem these last months?

New tryout online
This time with LP2, and some clock fixes. no SOD on my unit up to 1400Mhz (still at 1600).
At 1600Mhz, I just benchmarked sunspiper in Chrome: 982ms. There is now 1 benchmark making this Folio faster than a stock Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) -> Actually, just proves that javascript is quite single threaded

Weird... Is the size correct ? (maybe something happened in the download)
EDIT: I have added a new download source... Hosting at goo.im is stll not working
EDIT2: found a trick to work around the 1.6Ghz SOD (see 1st post), might give a clue for other SOD's?
According to kernel code, the CPU is set to max speed when resuming (max speed during board initialization might be a bad idea). I think this should be throttled (e.g. 600Mhz) until the screen is on. This can be simulated with overclock widget and its "screen off clockspeed profile".
Again something to test for someone with SOD's
I'm right now testing v4 at 1600. It looks stable. Nice job.
Edit: when the tablet goes to sleep with the blinking led I cannot wake it up. I need to maintain wakelock at 5.

Best setup anyone ahould prefer!

So, firstly i will say best setup from my side on MIUI GLOBAL . My english is so bad i think you can manage. Lets get started, this will be a beat setup which will give you smother performance than default setting on miui u need to be rooted.
Requirements-
Custom Recovery
Magisk manager
And modules you need-
Ainur sauron
Audio modification library
Busybox
Dolby digital plus(not present in downloads section u have to install externally)
FDE. AI
Youtube Vanced.
And stoned mod v3 (flash through custom recovery u can find it on mod section poco f1 development)
Extreme kernal or any other which supports overclocking
Ex kernal manager
........................................................
Ex kernal manager setup-
Open app
On right side click on 3 dots u will find setting
After setting go to advance settin under power amd performance one!
Than set max cpu frequency to 784mhz under powersave mode
Turn big cluster option to disable
Max gpu frequency to 675mhz
...............................................................
Performance setup
Max cpu frequency
1766mhz
Max cpu freqency(big cluster)
2649mhz
Min cpu freqency
1766mhz
Gpu governer and even big cluster
Keep to performance
Max gpu to
710mhz
Save the options
.....................
Now go to status bar icons and press edit
Add 2 tiles from ex kernal manager i.e performance and power save
.........
Now thats all switch them according to situations
Powersave will save huge amount of battery
Performance gives u high mhz which will be awesome but device may be heatup if heavy games played..
I hope this will help you alot. This is my personal settings for miui 10 with butter smooth performance!:laugh:
