Is there an app for turning on and off the second core besides the terminal?

I use system tuner and force my 2nd core on at startup.

Why would u want to turn it on and off manually? Something called mpdecision had been pre-baked into every rom (stock or not) since the phone was released. It controls whether or not the second cpu is active depending on load. As long as u are using a performance oriented governor setting, when u start a game it'll automatically switch it on.
Hi in was thinking about create some profiles for Cpu control on Tasker for example :
Whatsapp Cpu max 800 min 200
Facebook Cpu max 850 Min 200
I have to think more about whichj app change the Cpu..
Is a good idea? For save some battery

Go ahead..:thumbup::thumbup:
A 50mhz difference isn't gonna save a 1% of battery lol just let the phone scale to your needs

I have playing all this day with the Cpu speed and ja ja I have to experiment more with which speed is correct for each app for now my phone is slow as hell when unlock the screen for at least 6 seconds I think is Joice defender Cpu on idle is 300 I will rise to 500 and test

I'd say listen to bbrad. Your phone can handle it.

So since yesterday every time I use my phone or even charge it my phone gets extremely hot! The screen especially and the back where the camera lies. I charged my phone for 6 hours there with no use and it has only went up a 4-5%. Ive not installed or downloaded anything recently that could cause this issue. I was wondering if anyone could help or have had such a problem and know what there is to do? I'm running the latest viper with elemental X 8.1 stock elemental settings been on both for at least a month or 2.

Check kernel settings. Maybe only 1 core is in use

Ruu and do a clean flash. As a beta tester for Viper I've been running it since release and never had any issues. Other than we've reported which have been fixed.
I assume you're soff.

Try changing kernel, letting phone sit off for some time, or if all else fails do a clean install. Something i do when any of my phones overheat but wouldnt recommend for everyone, is i zip it up in a zip-lock bag and put it in the frig for about 2-5 minutes. But like i said works just fine for me everytime but dont recommend it
I don't recommend putting hot electronics in the fridge or freezer due to condensation.

You can place it on a cloth wrapped ice pack for a few minutes, should cool it down very quickly.

how to check if both cores are working!?
mostly when i open TRICKSTER MOD it shows core 1 as offline and usually its core 0 that's fluctuating with min or max frequency!?

Actually Venom Tweaks includes an option for status bar or notification drawer that displays current CPU usage. Theoretically you could run some apps, pull down status bar and check if both cores are in use. Having one core activated running full throttle would easily turn your phone into a hand warmer

I knew that but when you provide someone with information that you do not recommend a user doing, you should explain why so they understand the risk associated. Especially in a case where their phone could be damaged beyond any chance of repair. Don't you agree?

Correct. But putting the phone under some form of stress such as running games or watching YouTube videos ramps up CPU frequencies as well as initiating the additional core.
According to comments in development thread, OP has solved over heating issue with an RUU.
Nice!

Good to know the issue is solved
cause even i had some issues with heating.. even for a small games my cpu tem is 50-60 and battery around 40!
It isn't unusual for this device to reach those temperatures during battery/CPU intensive apps or games. I've had it happen many times, games like Scramble With Friends (and other With Friends games) do it quite badly, as well as Maps, YouTube, and several others.

Off course, because the cpu load varies constantly because of the user and/or system demand.
Does the multicore power saving of trickster mod really works? It makes any difference in battery life? It affects to performance?

So many questions, so few answers. Yet I wonder...
If you turn 3/4 of the lights off in your house, your electricity bill is cheaper but its much darker so it takes you longer to do things.

Use per app mode. Limit CPU and GPU for every app. Helped save battery for me

So you're saying set multi core power saving to 2 but buy night vision goggles before hand? ?

Don't forget to buy some extra lights as well. Good luck!
I've set it at 2 with ElementalX to minimise the battery drain with Waze. I'm not noticing any drawbacks performance wise.
