Are you using Sweep2Wake?

How much battery does sweep2wake use? Is it worth it to enable it or does it just totally kill the battery? Is it possible to also screw up the screen with it too?

I tried the TouchControl app. Even if this kind of features is cool the battery drain was too important imo. I don't remember the exact percent but it was important enough to uninstall this app.
I didn't try yet the built-in feature from custom kernels though.
Finally there's no risk for your screen.

Stock ROM faster than cm11?

Anyone feel like cm is slower on their phone than stock ROM? And I hate that you lose nearby in dialer......what are your experiences?

happier off not using cm. and havent tried the stock rom on my n5 either(booted first boot with a custom rom/root). who said cm is fast anyways? its not a rom built for speed, its a rom built for features.

Its just usually always felt the same speed at very least this is the first time I feel its a bit slower is all was wondering if it was just me or not.

you have enough posts now, and can ask in their thread. there will be a lot more cm users there to answer you. have you tried messing with the governor/scheduler? try ondemand/deadline, then set the ondemand governor with upthreshold of 98 and the sampling rate to 15000. that should give you a bit of a boost

Thanks I'll try that

[Q] Safe to overclock?

Would it be safe to overclock to 2.8GHz with the CPU Governor as "intelliactive" and leave it there for normal use?
ROM: HD Revolution 5.5
Kernel: Faux

Probably.

With some tweaking it should be stable. My one question though... Why? Who needs that much power lol

The real question is why not? LOL. Honestly though I just like finding new things to do with my phone and coming from a locked Galaxy S4 I have to say I'm enjoying the amount of things I can do with this device that I couldn't on the S4. The extra 600MHz was because I was hoping it would drop any chances of lag with my favorite apps & Xposed which always seems to cause a delay or two for me. On the other hand I like squeezing what I can out of it. Same with my Desktop too, get maximum stable over clock and stick with it. ;D. If there's some downsides such as life shortage feel free to mention it though because I'd rather know early on than when it's too late. Sorta the point of this thread

I've got my i5 2500k overclocked to 4.3 GHz now stock voltage . As for life shortage its hard to say. I would monitor temps on stock vs over clocked and compare. As long as it doesn't get considerably warmer which for mobile would be 10° more or less you should be fine

Well with normal use it gets like 40-55 C (CPU) and during an Antutu benchmark just at the beginning it hit 75C sooo not very happy with that.... especially considering that's in the highs for a lot of desktop processors, can't even imagine how bad that must be for a phone processor LOL. It was @2.803 MHz with voltage of "1130" & ondemand governor. Not so sure as to what "1130" is based on though as I'm new to mobile over clocking, guess I'll figure it out tomorrow!
Edit: Forgot to include that just a few minutes ago I flashed a new kernel due to some random lag, old one never hit above 50 even on tests (with intelliactive). Also using ondemand/interactive now. Gonna re check the differences on those two governors tomorrow and decide which one I wanna go with! : D

Very cool. Now you got me wanting to overclock. Bad things happen when I cross paths with those numbers

[Q] [RECOVERY] Is there a recovery like this for the N5?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2898705
I'm curious if there is a custom version of TWRP for the Nexus 5. I think I've seen screenshots that have temp of the CPU on the N5, but I haven't been able to find a custom version. If there is, could someone link me to it please? Thanks in advance!

What features are you after? Themes can add CPU tmperature such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...e-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915611/

Specifically something that doesn't run all CPU cores at max speed. If in recovery too long, that could lead to hardware damage.

I've never heard if any troubles with phones using full speed during recovery. In that case you shouldn't play heavy games (or even simple games), watch movies, stream video and so on. Don't worry about this, the weak parts of a phone are battery, screen, buttons, orts, not the use of a recovery. This is cosmetic without any proven effect, like UV for preserving battery and so on. Even using it ten minutes every day won't cause any damage.

Nope. Never seen one.

Not really. CPUs are built to be able to withstand this. Damage comes from excess heat and higher clock. I.e over volt.

Alright, thanks everyone.

Just in case anyone doesn't know this, CPU load / utilisation and CPU clock speed are not synonymous. A CPU can be clocking at 2 GHz or whatever but only be under 5% load. Sure, governors will usually ramp the CPU clock up under high loads. But if you think about the performance governor in Android for example, it sets the CPU at max frequency all the time, but the load will not always be 100% in fact it will hardly ever be 100%
Also if you look at a laptop, it will be clocking high, most of the time maybe not always max, but often not far off
Most android governors will get you to max clock long before 100% some even at 50%

Best App to disable CPU Cores

hello all
I am trying to find an app that will let me disable the cores that I don't want to use. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Tutorial would be great

Sorry can you please elaborate?

Just use kernel adiutor to disable any of the 4 big cores, or little ones.

thanks, what do you think would be the best combo?
just want my phone cooler and lil longer battery life

You would disable 2 big on battery and leave 4 big only while charging. The little cores can all be left on, or maybe leave 3. I haven't noticed a difference between 4 and 2 little cores for battery or temp.
