[Q] Measuring CPU Temp

How do I check the CPU Temp on the tf? I tried d/l a few apps but none of them seem to work or compatible. Any suggestion?

Get a app fron Antutu called CPU MASTER. This is an app that allows for overclocking and such.....if you do not have an overclocking kernel....DO NOT USE IT!!!
However it comes with a nice little widget that will display your temp, battery life and other stuff. You can use that.
If you do decide to use an overclocking kernel just go to this thread.

Why shouldn't you use it with a stock kernel?
The kernel is what controls the possible speeds, not the app. The app is just an interface to allow the user to set what the kernel has already provisioned.

I know that but there is always a possibility that if a setting was activated higher than his stock kernel allows it COULD cause trouble.
It is a "Just in case" scenario.

You don't understand what I am saying.
The kernel controls things like clock speed, voltage, yadda yadda, etc. This app just interfaces with these kernel settings to allow the user to select them.
Try it for yourself. You will see that it only lets you select up to 1Ghz with the stock kernel. It's actually kind of nice for people with the stock kernel because it allows you to _underclock_ your device if you want.

Ok, sorry. I don't mean to be rude but you're wrong and telling someone wrong information.
Try it for yourself and you'll see that you can't change anything the kernel doesn't allow.
Plenty of people use the OC apps like this one (or SetCPU) to underclock their device or add speed profiles for certain situations.

This free widget includes the TF temperature. Scroll down to see an example image of the System info it displays.

it's the battery temp, not cpu. i couldn't find any app or widget to see my cpu temp.

cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/ext_temperature
I wrote a script to display many other things (batt temp and current CPU mv) ... but that is the CPU temp. There is also
cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/temperature
But the thermal throttling policies refer to ext - and both values are very close to each other. Ext also happens to have more precision (.25 degC as opposed to rounding up or down to the nearest degree). So I look at ext.

echo -e "\033[0m Your CPU/System temp is: " "\033[1m `cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/ext_temperature`"
Writing this in a 'script', making it executable, and calling it whatever will make it so you do not have to type the long path above.
Thus, in term emulator - it would look like this.
# whatever
Your CPU/System temp is: 40.0
Wow. Fancy.

You are the man ! I was looking for this.

cpu operating higher than set frequency

i was using the Photaf app and while the images were stitching i thought i'd check on the cpu usage, using system tuner.
I noticed that cpu0 was running at 1.18 (set value using CM7 option). cpu1 was running at 1.536.
I am running Hyper sensation (CM7) with the Bricked 2.6.35.14 Kernal
i set my cpu to max out at 1.18.
my phone is the regular Sensation. is this normal?

In what way? System tuner, other app?

I advise you to use some other apps, like latest SetCPU or System Tuner to set the speed.

ok i will try set cpu. what about Daemon Controller? It came with the Rom but i never use it.

What is PnPMgnr?

I saw that there is a PnPMgnr in the Venom Tweaks, how does it work? Is it implemented in every custom rom?

Im not too sure what it stands for but all i know that if you turn it off you can customise the Cpu clock speed and with it turned on you cant.

It's a built-in CPU manager, something like OC daemon.

You can change maximum CPU and GPU frequency using aroma installer options.New rules and improvements are added from HTC One profile, like maximum CPU screen-off frequency 1026 MHz, optimal CPU frequency settings for updated ondemand governor and boot-time performance lock which will decrease booting time. We recommend setting CPU/GPU speeds via aroma and not change them later via 3d party apps, u can still change speeds via Venom tweaks for benchmarks and similar but than you wont benefit from PnPMgr which has many rules and policies defined, for example when you launch navigation then maximum CPU frequency is limited to 900 MHz, when you are using camera in HDR or Panorama mode, both cores are enabled, in launcher when you changing screens both cores also are always enabled.​

So, it is basically something that will change its cpu frequencies according to the scenario? Correct me if I'm wrong

[Q] How to set cpu frequency in CM12 for Oneplus One

Hello , I have a question, I Recently Flashed CM12 Oficial Rom for OnePlus one And i Unlocked Developer Options but when i go to Performance i cannot set cpu frequency like in CM11 , All i have in Performance Tab is Enable per-app profiles. What can i do? Do this rom have Option to set cpu frequency or i have to use a app for that? if i have to use an app What app do you guys recommand to set cpu frequency? No-Frills Cpu seems a little bit outdated , It hasn't been updated since 2013 and it dont works pretty well on Opo , i used it on Oxygen OS. Thanks.

Came here to search for an answer to more or less the exact question.
How do I change performance modes in Lollipop? What if I want to keep my phone on battery saver all the time?
(Don't play much games that require a lot of CPU, only shoot pictures and surf the web)

I'm looking for the same thing. So far this update sucks.

It's under settings -battery

I have only 3 profiles there. No way to set up frequencies like before.

Just root and use a kernel tuning app like Trickster Mod.

I would prefer using the system profiles and that was the original question. However I am using SetCPU and my phone is properly rooted but something is overriding the frequencies set by in SetCPU... Clueless.

Is there an option in that app to disable external interference with your setup?

Unfortunately, it also lowers screen brightness. I use a custom kernel (Franco's kernel) and FKUpdater to avoid this issue.

[Q] Set cpu usage by app

When I use some apps my Nexus overheats a lot after a little time so I was wondering if it is possible to underclock the cpu only when I open those apps and set it back to normal when the app is closed.
Something like:
Code:
Event:App is launched{
SetMaxCpuFreq = something_not_too_high
}
Event:App is closed{
SetMaxCpuFreq = back_to_normal
}
Thanks!

If you are familiar with Tasker, you can do this by creating a profile for all of those apps to set CPU to a desired frequency when using those apps.

I didn't know tasker could do that too,thanks!
I'll give it a try.
