[Q] Trickster Mod Settings Not Sticking - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Running Slimkat 4.4.1 beta 4, with Bank gapps running ART.
Everything is working pretty well, except for Trickster MOD keeping settings.
It will keep the scheduler and governor selection, but min and max freq and sound control doesn't stick.
Perhaps MPDecision is causing the issue or? Even tried switching to a custom kernel, same thing.
Any advice would be great, thanks everyone.
(I have already gone over most of the Trickster MOD website faq and general questions. And other threads on xda.)

Sick avatar bro!

CM10 Performance settings + SetCPU

Although I love Instigator's Kernel, I believe that it is time to move on from the aging kernel code.
I have started to use the stock kernel with the Paranoid Android by gs2usr, but I wanted more options to my cpu usage so I got set cpu.
Now my question is, will set cpu interfere with the performance settings originally in CM10? I have set the setcpu governor to the same gorvernor in the performance settings. The addition I have is the profile at certain battery points. Did anyone experience anything that caused the app and the CM10 settings to interfere each other causing even more waste in battery?? (like putting teo anivirus software on one computer? )

Best option is to stick to the performance setting built into Cm10 because it's had all the correct paths on how to adjust the kernel properly .
I don't use set CPU anymore I now use system.tuner pro as an alternate that's it

From what I've been reading the performance module in cm10/aokp is still a bit iffy, but I do agree with the system tuner pro recommendations

[Discussion] Your Favourite Sensation Setup

So I tried looking for a general discussion thread about phone configs, but couldn't find anything... so I went ahead and made one myself.
Kernel and ROM:
I'm currently using @android1234567's CM10.2 build with the hacky 624MB kernel....
who cares if he's taken a few shortcuts.... I can multitask a lot better on this kernel than on his 598MB one or on any other 4.3 build.
Software and Mods:
1. Xposed. The newest Xposed is awesome.... older versions of the framework gave me significant lag.... don't seem to have any with this version.
2. Greenify with the donation features.
3. BootManager and RecieverStop xposed modules. They seem to make a huge difference in how well the phone performs by changing the apps that get triggered at startup and by certain intents.
4. Seeder. I actually feel that it might not be that useful, but activating it made me feel that things were a tiny bit faster, so I run it anyway regardless of the CPU load.
5. TricksterMod. Set CPU frequency to 192-1512 MHz and GPU at 266 MHz with Intellidemand CPU governor and Ondemand GPU governor.
This is perhaps the best setup I've had with my Sensation, with things at their snappiest.
Please feel free to discuss about your phone's setup, be it Sense or NonSense.
I was hoping to see a thread like this so we could get the most out of our phones!
ROM & Kernel in signature.
MOD; The Sense 5 MOD.. Don't really like it tbh. Too lazy to re-flash ROM currently to remove it.
Some apps that I use;
Link2SD. Just good overall app for managing other applications and such!
Greenify.
SD Maid. Easy SD-card cleaning tool.
That's it for now.. I could use some more apps
Anyways, I am really interested in this ''Seeder''..
Does it really work?
I guess I gotta give it a try.
1. Note: Not all of us can see your signature (XDA or Tapatalk app users)
2. Does anyone still use the Boot Manager app to run multiple ROMs? I purchased the Pro version years ago when I had my Evo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=en
3. Currently using ViperS 3.1.2 but switch between MIUI and CM10.2 when I get the itch...

It does work, but the general consensus is that it's CPU use and battery drain outweigh the minor performance gains.
Try it out, but I'd rather recommend the Xposed modules I listed...
Edit: Greenify and SD Maid are awesome.... :thumbup:
I just joined and I have been looking for a thread like this to optimize my sensation.
So far like greenify and sd maid.
Thanks for sharing.

Are you using a flashable version of TricksterMod or the Play Store apk?

Just installed the BootManager and I'm loving it so far; Xposed is awesome.
My current setup:
- Revelation 1.0.2 with KSM disabled
- SuperSU, just because it handles SU requests a lot better than anything else
- ViperFX, best audio effects mod in my opinion
- Greenify
- AdAway 2.7 just because
- Clean Master. Ridiculously well done for a free app; automated app2sd functionality, backup and restore apps, clean junk files, etc.
- Xposed with Icon Themer, Boot Manager, XVolume30 and Xprivacy

My current setup is :
Mikhei777 ROM with Xloud as add-on
Sultan Kernel @1.08 GHz (SIO, Ondemand, no backlights, no UV )
No seeder or any Swap mod as it's very fast !!
Don't use also greenify or app of the same kind.
I'm very satisfied of my setup

[Q] hammerhead-faux123-007m with intellidemand

Hey guys!
I'm using faux123 kernel 007m with intellidemand and the recommended settings for Nexus 5 by faux123 (taken from here: G+: +PaulReioux/posts/gj2v8nVqqfP).
Now I noticed that with intellidemand even the lightest apps are lagging.. is this normal? I also noticed that that often only the first core is active (at 300mhz). With ondemand and the same settings, no lagging at all. Using latest version of FauxClock.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Using multiple Kernel tweaking Apps

This may be sort of a noobish question but I was curious if using multiple apps for controlling kernel settings, in my case I am using both FKU & Trickster mod. I have the latest version of Franco's kernel flash (r32). I use both cause trickster has some options that FKU doesn't but I really like FKU's intergtayiong with system monitor and some of the kernel settings it has that trickster doesn't. I make sure that the settings for CPU min/max freq, volt, governor, IO schedule etc etc are set the to the same specs on each one. So is this OK to do, or will it cause issues with the kernel itself and/or my settings

What options does trickster have that franco doesn't?

Hi,
Should not have issues as long as you are sure that you have the same settings on both apps, like you do. For example don't set a different i/o scheduler or a different CPU governor in the two apps or it may conflict...
If you use mainly FKU, set it like you want then use TRickster Mod for the setting you want, no need to re-set the same settings in both apps (I don't know if I'm clear here ).
For example setup your CPU setting in FKU, let the CPU settings in Trickster Mod no need to re-apply them, it will just read the CPU settings from FKU...
Stuff like headphone volume boost which is good for me cause I am a active guitarist in a progressive metal band and am going deaf from playing shows lol
There's a few others. And a couple of the settings that they share I like better on trickster then fku and visa versa. By that i mean the way they allow you to change them is different on the two apps and I like the method better on one of them more so then the other sometimes. I'm weird like that I guess haha

I get what u mean. That's generally how I do it. But some settings dont seem to translate. Like voltage. I dropped the stock voltage by 25 In fku and dropped the max cpu freq a bit and the CPU freq translated over but the voltage setting didn't. So I had to change that manually.

When you use 2 apps, sometimes you change the settings in one and the other writes the settings back and they don't translate. I use 2 apps myself. Voltage is fine as it is only available in one of my apps, but governors are available in both ans although sometimes it translates, otehr times it overwrites so I have to manually change the values in both apps to ensure it sticks.

That happens with me sometimes too. So far so good tho. I had to manually change voltages tho like I said. The CPU freq translated over tho as well as governor and IO Scheduler.

I use the free version and I have the Voltage settings, so I am not sure why they are not showing up for you, especially since you are using the Donate version. You can always try out FKU, I have the paid version of that app, and it's great. Now that I have found settings I didn't know were on FKU, I only use that one. Not to say Trickster isn't great, cause it is, just comes down to preference in the end.

Are you running a custom kernel? If you're still running the stock kernel, you won't have those settings no matter which app you use.
Yes I'm running a custom kernel but I thought there was a way to undervolt all frequencies at the same time. I tried Fku and it's possibile but I haven't got screen features yet, I will change kernel. Thank you!

You are right about that, there could be some different, added or lost settings on app to app and also kernel to kernel. But using two applications can interfere each other, if you don't want this, you should be carefull about apply settings on boot option. You should choose one application to enable set on boot option and not in other application. At the end your device will open even you set on boot option in 2 apps but valid settings while device is running depends on which app grants superSU right fisrt or second.

Additional Tweaks:
PVS Voltage tweaks:
-First thing you will need to do is figure out your PVS number. You can find this by using a root browser and go to /sys/module/clock_krait_8974/parameters/table_name
or /sys/module/clock_krait_8974/parameters/pvs_number.
-In the chart linked below, find your PVS number at the top and plug in the voltages for your PVS number. For best battery results, keep going up the list until your phone becomes unstable then go back down one and this will give you the best battery performance
*Additional Note: Because I have used the configuration from the s5 for the frequencies, follow the chart for the s5 voltages, NOT the m8

Not all features have made it back into the Sense Lollipop Kernel yet. But all the ones listed are in the GPE kernel.
First!
Good job Buck
Second! Looks awesome
Looks interesting! Thanks for sharing your work ?
Awesome! Working good on ARHD, so far no issues with stock video player(which happens w/other kernels).
Thank you!
I did another quick build yesterday. I wiped out some depreciated hot plug code that has a tendency to mess with the user set max and min some times. I just updated the link in the OP
yeaaaaaa buddy!
Great work as usual!!
ROM is now even smoother!
like budduhh
INteresting. Thank you for the effort.
Tried changing some things with Trickster and applying them locks up and reboots my phone.

Trickster seems to have issues with lollipop
No problems here using FauxClock
Thanks Buck! Flashed today and so far no issues. I had no problems using Trickster to adjust settings. The only time I had reboots using either Trickster or Faux is on the stock kernel.
Running smoothly on Sprint ?
Anyone try this on GSM?
