Disable the second core?

Possible to disable second core to save more battery life? I noticed whenever I pulldown the notification bar my second core goes straight to 100% use so I wonder if I disable it I could save battery.

You have to adjust the ratio of the fluxcapicator . To do that

lol don't listen to this guy. I believe faux hss by default set 2nd core to offline, and it only turns on under load. which app are using to monitor cpu usage

Here read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329585
Would actually cause qorse battery life.

Yes i know thata a diff device but same principal

Yeah, I notice when not touching the screen the second core is put offline, and I would use fauxclock to see that, but I gave up with that and use system tuner now, also shows second core offline but as soon as I bring the notification bar down just a bit, it comes out of it's offline state and that isn't even a 'serious load' occasion so I'd like to just keep it offline

I've seen that post before, but I have a lot of experience I. The technical field and I know as a fact the processor draws more power to use both cores instead of just one

Suposidly the second core only gets used when needed. If your phone was put under the same load with no second core to pick up some of the duty then you are drawing more electricity anyway. 1 core running at twice the load vs 2 cpres runing at half the load. No one knows unless u have a digital multimeter and can test yourself

I haz multimeter also I help manage the military network for my state and have plenty of knowledge on the hardware end leave the second core be it will only use what it needs bro your gonna work the processor in ways it wasn't meant to be worked. But if you don't trust faux who's made some 16 kernels then have you used the disable second core option or was that something you tried

Well i'm looking to totally disable it, as the tasks my phone handles on a daily basis does not require a second core. The hardest tasks it'll complete all day is opening up the messaging apparently which is instant even at 328mhz.

I have to be honest. Why buy an android phone with an S3 dual core processor then? That's defeatist. If your simply using the phone for basic messaging, maybe some email and youtube, a windows phone would have been better suited. Mango 7.5 is very stable, and it runs on all single cores

If so...any issues I may ned to be aware of before attempting?

I don't see any issue here. Go for it
EDIT; as long as you don't mix FP1 rom and custom kernel (will have wifi issue).

Is that what you are using? I mean, that same combo?

Radio only works fine. I ran it a couple of days before I went full FP1. Like buhohitr said, the only issue is mixing FP1 rom with EP4 kernel. If you are running an FP1 rom with an EP4 kernel, you aren't going to have wifi.

I read that part about the wifi just concerned about the combination I would have after flashing the new modem.
I'm hoping to get better battery life with this set up...the eternal search for that unicornial dream

Fp1 ROM with custom kernel = broken Wifi
Fp1 ROM with Fp1 kernel = working Wifi
Modem wont affect any setup, just the kernel.

Update:
I ODIN the new CWR (blue one) and flashed the radio..interestingly it took longer that I anticipated, don't know why
Phone is rebooting and off to test it for a couple of days.
I will post my finding here tomorrow or as soon as I notice something interesting happening.

"interestingly it took longer that I anticipated". It's normal, this zip has to update your current radio. Took awhile on mine too. If you wipe cache or davik cache, it even took longer, but you're fine.

So wifi does not work to access the network (as network client). Does it still work as an access point running wifi tethering (ad-hoc with ver 2.0.8 or structure with ver 3.1.11)?

Pop in a good battery saver app, you can easily get 30% or more!

Sorry missed your post. I have been testing the best three: Battery defender, battery saver and Go power master...and the best is....Battery defender. Make sure you have full charge(100%), then install Battery defender, use it until drop below 10%, plug in and charge straight up to 100% (do not unplug before 100%), do this 3 times and you will see the results. After the third time, you can charge/unplug anytime you want. The second best is battery saver.

[Q] Better Framerate

I had a G3 previously and there was an app I used that would overclock the gpu or something for better framerate overall on the phone but I can find it any ware now. It was a small app that would let you select from a rate of something like 440000 to 660000. If I went to high the screen would go blue and I'd have to reboot. Any one remember what it was called?

Awesome! Seems the app has been developed a bit more since I last found it. I do apologize for my apparent lack of googling skills. "Didn't take me skill at all, you're just stupid." There, I said it for you.

I play small games, nothing that would effect battery. And with performance you get to go to 10. I'm going to try power saving mode on it.
Edit: Seems to run fine with it on battery profile. I also used kernel aduitor and set the big cpu to interactive and left the little ones on conservative. I enabled apply on boot as well I'm getting a full charge to see how it is on battery!

Making a ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...other-development/rom-crazy-rom-v1-0-t3637871

Best Rom\Kernel Combo for SOT and Performance?! POST PICS!

Hey guys … we've had quite a bit of development in a very short amount of time since release. There are some very talented developers out there and a dedicated number of people making our already great phone even better.
So, I was curious to see at this point what Rom\Kernel Combo everybody is running to get the most out of the battery while maintaining performance!
Sound off on which rom\kernel combo you're using and post battery life screenshots if you have them!
Thank you to the developers that make this happen, we couldn't have gotten here without you!

I guess there is only one stable rom xXx

SOT varies and depends on your usage.

Xxx+cleanslate

If you want a balanced kernel with a really good battery life, you should go with franco kernel. I achieved very good stand by and screen on time, even on the currently battrry-buggy OxygenOS 5.1.8. And if you want a light customizable ROM with quiet a few goodies, go with Renovate 3.2.

Is that stock options with Franco?

If I pick up my phone and use it all day in bed when I'm under the weather or when I'm home for the day with nothing to do I can get 7 hours of screen on time with constant usage at half brightness. When I am at work and have the phone with me and do a little gps etc I can get about 6 hours. It all depends on your usage and also your cell signal. The worse your signal is the faster it drains the battery. The more GPS you use the faster your battery dies. It doesn't matter which kernel I am running, (I'm currently on stock 5.1.8 with Magisk, Xposed & ElementalX) battery life is pretty much the same.

if you won't stop to believe that rom and kernel are responsible for SOT and standby drain you will never be able to 99.9 control and manage your battery usage.
it's all in user space as long as there is no know battery hog (know bug) in either rom or kernel.
