[APP] NovaFreq v1.2.1 (For Novatek Panels Only) [ Updated 07/18/10 ]

Evo Switch v1.1.1 NovaFreq v1.2.1
(APP NAME CHANGED TO SOMETHING MORE APPROPRIATE)
This is an Android application developed to change the panel frequency for Novatek Panels for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G, in conjunction with ffolkes' Novatek Kernel and netarchy's Kernel,
and any kernel that has maejrep's T2 Interface built in. Every device is different, and with that, those specified kernel's default settings may or may not be optimized with your device.
With this application, you can change those settings on the fly and find the best setting for your device.
[ Please use this application with extreme caution! I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device. ]
Requirements:
-HTC EVO 4G
-Android 2.1 +
-Any custom kernel that is built off of toastcfh's htc source
-Novatek Panel
-Root Access
Uses:
-Use as an fps frequency turbo switch for when you need extra fps.
-Use as a debugging tool to test frequencies.
-Use to keep frequency settings even beyond reboots. (new)
Settings:
-340 [Stock] is how HTC intended the EVO to be. This frequency works out to 61hz, but we are capped at 30hz.
-370 [Kernel Default] sets the panel frequency lower than stock, yet provides most around 55fps.
-250 [Stable High Freq] sets the panel frequency higher than stock, which usually gives around 40fps.
-400 [Stable Low Freq] - V2's setting.
-Favorite Setting - Find the most stable setting, and if it's not one of the listed, then "Set Favorite".
-Sticky Settings - Now you can reboot and not have to re-apply your settings!
Custom Setting:
You can put arbitrary settings here, but be warned this may mess up your screen, but usually you can reboot your phone
to change it back to default. Minimum Recommended: 250 Maximum Recommended: 999.
Please do not go lower then the minimum recommended of 250, nor higher than the maximum recommended 999.
To Do:
-Favorite Setting - So you can save the best setting for your device. 07/04/10 - Done!
Change Log:
-Changed app name from Evo Switch to NovaFreq (Novatek Frequency / Freek)
-Totally redid code, should be more optimized.
-Frequencies stick beyond a reboot
-Changed a few of the defaults
-Changed back sleep time to 500ms so the current displayed setting can update (v1.2.1)
Don't be alarmed if you see NovaFreq running in the background. To be able to sticky settings beyond a reboot, NovaFreq has to be run at boot up.
After that you can kill NovaFreq if you want, android will kill it when needed so don't worry.
Thanks To:
ffolkes, netarchy, maejrep, toastcfh, halfline, Cicitrize, geyes30, kpkimmel, joeykrim, and many others involved in trying to uncap the EVO.

Reserved...

Reserved again.

woah, this is badass. I will check it out soon

works great! Whats the number I set it at to equal the V2 setting of ffolkes kernel? I think its 400, is that correct?

Awesome!! This is the first time I've been able to break 30 fps! (thanks to your app!)
I'm on Froyo and the v4 had never worked, but now v4 + high frequency with your app = 40 fps.
I love you.

this may a silly question... but would this fix camera when i have it disabled as to if i switch it on the camera is now broke? or just the kernel itself breaks the camera??

Great little app, I would recommend users experiment with the values just ever so slightly for optimum performance. Using the default value of 361 netted me about 50-51 fps, whereas using 365 nets me about 54-55. Not a huge bump, but even a little bit is nice

Great application. May I suggest adding maybe a quick cycle to move between frequencies so users can go through a number of settings at once? Kinda like the Scan feature in most radios to pick the best frequencies.

Every custom kernel does not have a working camera, because we do not have the source code for it. When HTC finally releases the source code, then we will be able to fix the camera.

This sounds like something to think about. Only problem is, while scanning, no one will know what the fps is unless they have their favorite fps app running, but then we wouldn't know what the frequency setting is since the fps app is running in focus. Might be a bit difficult to pull off without building an fps test into the app.

Well done!! Thanks

Yeah I agree it would be difficult to implement without a built in fps counter. I was thinking more along the lines of something that would flag or eliminate the frequencies that are really bad (ie the ones which make your screen go haywire). So maybe the user could, for example, pick frequencies 300-310 and then the app would cycle through them 1 second at a time. From there the user would be able to run FPS2D or whatever to test out those frequencies that didn't make their screen all blotchy.
Anyways, just something to think about. Great work nonetheless!

This won't work, because the interface that is used to write these settings to the panel cannot handle both full-speed graphics, and setting panel registers. I tried this when I first created the sysfs attr file, and if fps2d is running, it seems impossible to set or query the current T2 value. the display pretty much has to be idle for this to work.
Using a mutex lock might help, but I didn't look into it any further.

Yep, that's why I had to put in a "sleep" command in my app so that the system could process the change and update the app on if the register changed or not. Thanks for the interface maejrep!

Where is the link to the switch app?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah? Where is version 1.1.1? 1.1.0 is the only available for download? Or am I a special needs kid?

Force close only.

Do you meet the minimal requirements on the original post? Because you have to be running a custom kernel with the T2 interface in it.

[APP][2.2+] GTA3 Graphical Settings + Launcher [v1.4]

Just a small quick and dirty app that let you change some of the GTA3 default settings.
Original settings are backed up to (GTA3 Folder)/files/GTA3/gta3.gtsettingslauncher.set. If the app completely fails or you want to use the original settings after uninstalling the app, just copy this file back to (...)/gta3.set.
When your gta3.set is missing, please start the game and go to the display options. Change some settings and then hit "restore defaults". Then try again and start the settings app.
If there is still no settings file, get one from this forum (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20950484&postcount=29) or google. After launching the game with the downloaded settings file go to the in-game display settings an click "restore defaults". That should fix some problems with screen width and height.
Available Settings:
Shadows: On/Off
Lighting: On/Off
Resolution: High/Low
Rendering Distance: 18 Steps
Blur: On/Off *
* Blur is not working for me. The setting is always disabled when starting the game. Maybe it is working on other devices (Tegra?).
Currently only tested on I9100 with GTA3 German. Please let me know if it is working or not.
Changes:
2012/01/03 - v1.4:
catch more exceptions
changed launcher, it now hopefully will find the target more often
2012/01/02 - v1.3:
added another external_sd path (now searching in "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Android/data/", "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/", "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/data/" for package)
2011/12/31 - v1.2:
added launcher icon
added blur setting (which might have no effect)
changed namespace - please uninstall the old version manually. I used an example package found on the internet as skeleton and forgot to change it, sry
2011/12/29 - v1.1:
added external_sd to search path
Make sure to download the LATEST version.

Thankyou excellent work dev,works great.
My device is zte skate
And at 900Mhz on Atomic 2.5 rom,
Chainfire reduce texture size and quality,
With this app you have created,
It is running good now.

I just get instant force close when trying to run this. I was looking to try the lower resolution for performance increase.
I'm using a rooted vibrant (t959), with a custom 2.2 rom

Works great now, thanks for the fix. Almost lag free now. Thanks!

thanks for sharing, i hope this is worked on my device

Works perfect on the HTC Desire HD! Thank you! :>

Works perfect on my Sensation! Thank you!
I've attached two screenshots. One with defaultsettings and one with tweaked settings.

I get forced close also on zte blade (orange san fran)
But the game runs any ideas?

When does it crash? Right after starting the settings app or when you try to "Save and Start"?
Can you please also post the path to your gta3.set? Maybe it is a path problem again.

Awesome!
Work perfectly on Xperia play!

It crashes just after starting app.
I fixed it I had to download and copy the file called gta3.set into the correct folder as no file of that name was in the data folder. After I did that the patcher worked fine. :O)
Seems some phones don't create the gta3.set file. Maybe you could include one with the patch or make it auto generate one for people like me. Thanks for the patch. ;0)

Awesome app. I was wondering though, is it possible to integrate more features/mods in the app?
Theres a post on the main page of xda showing mods, also another thread in this same section for gta mods like lamborghini/audi/VW cars, coca cola machines, better texture packs, etc. That would be crazy if you can add those features so we have a all in one mod app for the gta game and can apply them without much messing around. Hopefully that would even help more people add more content to make the game experience even better.

This worked great on my Asus Transformer!
I was surprised to find out the default settings were set so low. Even on my Tegra 2 device. It looks SO much better now.

Thanks for this - works great on my Desire Hd and Haipad M7S - draw distance on low means I can have the effects on and it runs fine on the Desire!

where should i paste this file?anywhere in my sdcard?anyone?plss..
edit: got it work..thanks OP.. ^^

Added a launcher icon and the blur setting. Bluring is not working on my i9100 (it is just disabled by the game while launching), but maybe it will work on other chipsets.

[GUIDE] Increase android gaming performance (resolution change) (ROOT NEEDED)

Hello everybody, and before all, sory for my english
The main objetive of this thread is to provide a guide to increase performance on high density screen GPU bound devices, for example, the nexus 10.
The last year android devices start shiping with very high definition screens, but without the necesary GPU muscle to make them work good.
Since I was a PC gamer, I know the terrible impact of high definition on the gaming performance, and, on this screen size, this is a useless impact, since the extra resolution are practicaly unperceptible.
The past week I spend a lot of time trying to change my device's resolution (a nexus 7) and with kernel modding, it is posible, but don't are great since I only play 1/3 of the devices usage, and the 1280x800 resolution are great for chat, browsing (or posting on the forum ).
Finally I find a great program that allow me to temporary change the display resolution of my device, and with the free version I was allowed to change resolution to 720x450, and on gaming performance, that was a GREAT performance updrade, even, with the wuality sacrifice (and on a 7 inch display, this wasn't a great lose.
In order to do that, I need to disable soft keys, since they bug A LOT with the resolution change, and to use a custom launcher because the default launcher bug too (go launcher ex is my favourite and the only one I test).
So, I leave a guide on how to prepare your device to use this mod to increase gaming performance, and to provide help to everyone who want it.
First of all, you NEED to be rooted.
Now, start with the device preparing.
Wee need a soft keys replacement, I recomend this one, work great and are really simple to customize.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
Now, you need to remove the soft keys in order to gain extra screen space and to protect yourself from potential bugs on the user interface.
To do that, you need to edit your build.prop with an editor or manually with a text editor and add this line.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Now, on the next boot your device have the soft keys disabled.
To protect the status bar from being bugged, we need to change the lcd density of our display in order to allow a phone status bar (the phablet one bug on low resolution displays, and on tablets without sofkeys, we need a status bar.
To do that, we need to edit from the build.prop editor the "ro.sf.lcd_density" parameter and set it to something above 214 (nexus 7 have 213 and it enable the phablet interface, and on 214 it enable a full phone interface, but with small icons and more work space, you need to test and find the most usefull dpi for your device)
Now, we need to install the "magic app", and start testing resolutions and trying to find the most confortable for us, I have the paid version and use on the nexus 7 (16:10 or 8:5) 480x768 since it allow GREAT performance improvement and a good image quality for my screen size.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer
One example of a game that work GREAT with this trick is N.O.V.A. 3, on the tegra 3 plataform it is almost inplayable, and with the trick, on my nexus 7, it looks like this.
So, start testing this, and post your results, configs and devices.
Help us resolving the screen resolution fragmentation on devices!
And mods, please, help the post with a good language correction XD
Edit: Changed the APK link, to a new one, the new app have onscreen buttons to fix the navbar problems, so, pie controls are no longer needed, I leave the link here onlfy for people to know another alternative, thx for NoMone Devs!

i am planning to buy a 7 or 8" android with high resolution and was a bit worried about gaming performance because of the high resolution.. can you post a video of the performance gain plz?

Whoa! I might give this a go when I get home. Good Job.

i am interested for feedbacks in other heavy games like modern combat 4

this!
what android device and other mobile devices lacks.
there's no setting to set the resolution!
people out there always suggest me to change the dpi, but hell no!
"dpi" is not physical resolution, it just changing icon and other ui element to small or big.
this terms confuse many people.
they think DPI is the screen resolution.
and.... i just cannot understand the hype,
many vendors put high res 1080p on 5" device?
what the heck!? is it necessary?
what's next? ultra 4K res on 4" screen?
come on.. it's unnecesary and waste of battery.
gpu works hard to get the job done in that resolution. especially gaming.
thank you for sharing this trick for us.
google should consider to put resolution changer on the next android.
and android vendor should realize put hi-res on small screen is just plain dumb.

i will try this thank you. . .:good:

It's hard to take a video without a camera, but to give youman example, on 500x800 asphalt 7 give me 60fps on the shangai track, with my 800x1280 default resolution, I have 20fps aprox with a lot of fluctutations, it's a great app, and with GMD hide buttons, is almost perfect.

Yes, on the HTC Desire 480x800 display, you need to set it to something lower that it, for example, 360x600, it increase the gaming performance, this trick work great on high res display like the nexus 7 or nexus 10 displays for example, try to reduce the resoution to something that retain the original aspect ratio and be lower that 480x800, 360x600 or 240x400 make a grat change, but im not sure about image quality on this device...

ok thx i have tried to set it to 360x640 on the free version.. but nothing happens.. it just say "Display scaler free has been granted root superuser permissions" and nothing happens

Mh, maybe this is a device specific issue, have you posted a review or sended the autor an feedback email about it?

Hey I bought the app and it works fine i tried most of the resolutions and even a custom one but it seems that no resolution lower than my physical one will go full screen i always get black borders do you get this too?

thanks a8 soc

I tried tweaking my resolution to a higher one yet nothing happens on my Alcatel OneTouch T10. Any fix on this?

Sory for the lazy responce, I have so much time working and other personal things I read on the store that the apk only make the new resolution use the full screen on 4.2+ so if you are on 4.1-, you have it with black borders, sory, but I cant do anything for this :/

is there any way after change resolution for fix buttom touch key(it doesnt work physical touch key)? or any idea where is touch key config file or something like that related in root?

I don't know, I suppose, android mao this keys as a touchscreen surface or something like that, the most easybway is using gmd hide softkeys and with it, trigger a softkeys quick navbar and play with this, I am using Paranoidandroid right now and with the pie controls I fix all my problems, and on smanager I created 2 scripts to execute the commands to change resolution, one for the 500x800 for gaming and the other to 1280x800, the default resolution of the nexus 7.
Try it and leave me a comment with your experience.

My screen is 1080p. i think gpu cant handle this resolution sometimes occur wierd lag and some highend games cant playable.After change resolution to 720p and 320 dpi everything perfect games performance increase %80-100 even memory consumption decreasing.(100mb).i am using with pie control but i want to using continiusly 720p i think after change resulotion touch key coordinates change over screen size.if i found that responsible cfg file or something maybe i can handle this.i am still searching..

For me, the way to go is sticking with default res for everything except gaming, as I say, I have two scripts on 2 widgets on my main screen, one with the commands
su
wm size 500x800
And the other with the commands
su
wm size reset
on jely bean 4.3 this commands set the override resolution of the screen.
on android 4.2.x the wm have to be replaced with am.
The app launch this terminal commands and override our resolution, but since I cant buy the app because of credit card and legal issues on argentina, I made my own scripts with smanager and swidgets . Quick on the fly change, and "letz rack!"

i am using this fantastic program on my thl w8s to scale resolution from 1080p to 720p during games and the speedup is fantastic...i set tasker to autolaunch the app when i click on the game icon, and once finished the game just click on fixes/reset resolution to bring everything back to 1080p . this program is great and the only one i have found...let's hope the developer doesn't abandon it and keeps making it better....and with a better integration in tasker maybe

[GUIDE] How to run games smooth that lag on your Device

Ever wonder why your phone can't run a game smoothly as another device which has lower performance specifications? I sometimes ask myself this with 1.2ghz quad core cpu and powervr sgx544 gpu along with 1GB ram runs Asphalt 8 laggy at high or even medium settings? While a 480x800 HVGA phone runs it with better performance? See thats the problem right there a resolution of 720x1280 GPU will run slower than a 480x800 Same GPU. Why am I doing this well I got tired of hearing games not optimized for my gpu and seeing that lower end phones running games I cant run.
So i decided to do some research of my GPU and have understand that it's a capable GPU and then i thought to myself what if i can change game resolution for more performance similar to a PC or i tried HVGA games on my WVGA and it was faster. That was the moment i can run asphalt 8 on high settings now thanks to changing resolution. I have seen a lot of apps and saw where someone tried it and stuck at bootloop well this App is safe to use, although i can't guarantee that!

You can revert back to that default settings if you messed up or you can try a custom settings and if you can't see navigation bars or or even the virtual keys JUST PANIC OMG I'm just kding do nothing and it automatically reverts back in 10 seconds.
You can also choose a preset, there are from QVGA to WVGA resolutions.
Simply set a custom or preset settings and see it instantly activated no reboot required you don't have to go into build.prop file either.
1.) If app says superuser denied..go find superuser or SU# if u have it installed as an app and allow it manually.
2.) Changing resolution problems can happen if you lower your height resolutions your soft touch keys might not work, ENABLE virtual keys in app settings and tick the bars your going to need eg back, menu, task etc.
3.) If you happened to set a resolution and you select SKIP revert and your phone locks and half of the lock screen is cut off which means you cannot slide to unlock try sliding screen to right side my camera opens up and my phone is unlock again. I don't know about other devices so i ''HIGHLY RECOMMEND'' do not leave phone unattended for lock screen to activate. IF YOU DO SO restarting phone won't help you will be stuck.
You can try Different resolutions take a look here copy paste into address bar...pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 600x1280
Asphalt 8 Significance performance increased.
Nova 3 Runs smoother than before.
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 320x480(dont look that bad its like 800x600 on 16:9 wide screen)
I can noticed fps is around 50-60 in Asphalt 8
This should work for all phones in the requirement field. It's like changing PC game resolution which increases fps according to the bottleneck.
Note : This is just a guide I'm not the owner of this app
and i don't take any responsibility if something happens to your phone.

hahaha
Well it worked for me lmfao :laugh::laugh:

I wonder if this is safe, can anyone post more feedback?
if it works 100%, thank you very much for sharing

yea it's safe because if anything goes wrong it automatically switches back your're resolution after 10 seconds. Just ensure that you're Root on Android 4.3 and higher(i have 4.2 and it worked) GL

@Mad VIbes too bad ther isnt any lower i can go for my phone other than 240x320 for ace plus i need 4.3 also meh

Yea man but i think there are 4.3 and also 4.4 on xda for ace plus don't know if it's stable because I'm not sure though

Much Better If...
I think it's much better if you use the Xposed Module AppSettings. It also has Per-App Resolution Changer, and it's much easiee to use, and probably more efficient

I Have Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus GT-S7500 , And I have successfully updated it to 4.4.2 (KitKat) , If you have the same android phone as I do and wanted to update it to Kitkat , Just email me ([email protected]) for download link , its safe , and if u flashed it wrong and got bricked , email me again for the original firmware of GT-S7500 , Or if u want Instructions of Installation , Again , Just email me

[Root] [MM] [MOD] Locking cpu+gpu+ddr to max speed

Version 3.0 install instructions below
Aded profiles to put phone in more deep sleep (now my phone consume 1.3% battery per hour when screen off and wifi services like messenger enabled), minimize usage of cpu/gpu/ddr by launcher (it might lag with stock launcher, works great with Nova launcher, reduce usage of processor by half.)
Version 2.0 uploaded install instructions below
phone now should better deep sleep
some values revert to original
adjusted speed when launching app, when scrolling lists, on app rotation, when fingerprint or display is touched, on battery states, when you gaming, on launcher.
WHAT IS ALL ABOUT?
Hi, im highly interested to bring all Power from mate7
I discovered that one system app can manages whole mt7 speed values on certain states ex. On app start, on certain app, on screen off...
My long research give me result that some system xml files can generate (on phone boot) certain speed values for cpu gpu and ddr.
I dont know how to read values from this files because they are encrypted, propably with strong rsa/ecb/pkcs1/padding key.
I use magic to allow system read non encrypted xml configuration files on phone boot and i guess it works
What mod do?
It allow to use all phone speed to stard app, when app is started then reduce speed to save energy
It allow to lock cpu,gpu,ddr on full speed in chosen apps.
It adjust cpu frequency dynamically, when screen is touched, on cpu thermal state, on battery critical state, on fling start, on phone rotate...
You can edit xml configuration to add your apps
Install instructions
To lock cpu+gpu+ddr on max speed for any app you must:
Have root, be on MM (i dont know, but it may work on LP too)
1. Download com.huawei.powergenie.zip and etc.zip
2. Unzip com.huawei.powergenie.zip to root. data/data/com.huawei.powergenie (overwrite files, yes its safe :good
3.Unzip etc.zip to system/etc, it will overwrite protected xml that wont allow to change values, (you should backup your old files first)
4. Reboot phone
How do i know that its working?
Download cpu-z app from android market, i added it to my mod, now when you launch cpu-z app, cpu,ddr values should be locked to max
give me information if it works for you
Advanced instructions:
editing xml files:

Isn't this the regular way the phone starts apps, or does it boost cpu etc. to max speed when starting an app with your mod?
gahu777 said:

Is rebooting required when you add a new app to chosen apps? Also where do I add chosen apps?

This is the regular huawei method to start app, but i modify it slightly to maximize performance on some cases. On app start, on rotate screen, on app.
You can edit scene mode on each profile
With this pattern. com.nameofyourapp.something
<scenemode name=".*?(hw.performance|ppsspp|rockstargames|dsemu|dolphinemu|cpuid|nameofyourapp*?).*" id="10000">

Added tutorial for changing values for your own

Thanks for the reply, I replaced the files and compared the values in CPU-Z and can confirm that it works, good job!
But I still don't unterstand one thing.. the profiles (Performance, super, and normal) which I replaced in /etc are the ones that you choose in power manager right? So if I add an app on the performance profile it will only work if the performance profile is active? If I want an app to use 100% cpu on all profiles, i have to add it on all profile xml files right?

Yes, exactly

How do I know what to call the app? For example CPU-Z is called cpuid.

I have titanum backup app which shows me full package name for app
You can also search play store for "package name viewer"
com.cpuid.cpu_z is full package name for cpu-z

What exactly do I need from the package name, for example eine names start with com., others with org., then there's also names with like 5 words , for example
Code:
Mupen64Plus FZ Edition
org.mupen64plusae.v3.fzurita
What would the Name be in this case? I would google it myself but I have no idea what to search for..

Any of these or do I have to try them all out?

Could somebody share a modded file?

I would but mine is not worth sharing, I only played around a little bit to see the performance improvements (the performance boost is amzing for those who use emulators btw).
Now that Version 3.0 is out, how do I "update" it? Do I need to replace all files all by one or only specific ones? I don't really want to add all apps again to scenemode..

Please... Share it

Tested version 3 and I'm impressed by how fast switching between apps works, now I finally answer whatsapp messages while doing stuff because it's not that slow anymore.
I'm also able to play True Skate with max graphics now that I added it to scenemode! It used to lagg on some maps even with resolution and details at a lower level. Great work man!

Testing v3... looks promising... Cpu-z shows processors 0-3 @ 1305 and processors 4-7 @1804... Will check battery durabilty because I am not fully satisfied with B561 v3 kangvip ROM.
Thanks for you efforts and for sharing them to all mt7 users!!!

Do you copy all files from both zip archives? (To data/data/com.huawei.powergenie and to system/etc) you can also set files permission 755 or 777

yes i extracted both zip archives to the paths and overwrote the files (but did backup before)
then restart phone and downloaded cpu-z
but no differences between before and after
