perfect cpu clock

i set cpu clock (with overclock widget) as follow:
when screen is off : 128mhz constant
when screen is on : 128mhz to 528 mhz on demand
with this setting 24h of idle consume 10% of battery...
the question is: why modder dont use this clock as standard clock for coocked rom? there is a problem using this clock?

i seen a guy who was able to clock his cpu to 768Mhz in Windows Mobile though. I need an o/cing clockgen not downclocking

I this possible on android? I would love to see a hero rom running at 768 Mhz!

This has been tried on android, however it didn't work right. There is a post somewhere in the Dream forums about it & I know that it was done thru some kernel tweaks but it was majorly unstable & it usually just made the phone reboot or lockup.

Running with the same clock setting and it works like a charm with myHero but would be interesting to know the answer to these 2 questions!

If I remember correctly, a lot of users reported that their blurry screen issue got fixed when they stopped downclocking, so I think it does cause some issues. Moreover I've encountered a few lockups with 128MHz when trying to wake my phone.

If the phone is at 128MHz when the screen is off, and you're using your phone as an MP3 player, there are not enough CPU cycles to both decode the MP3 and post to last.fm via Scrobble Droid. This results in the song skipping every time you progress to a new track.
I suspect the same would happen if you got an SMS or a phonecall too, waking to full CPU cycles is definitely not an instant process on Android.
ROM cookers release what they think is a good speed. For everyone else there is SetCPU and OverclockWidget. Feel free to release your own ROM if you think you can do it better.

First of all: no one talked about doing better but asked a question how come!?!
And most hero roms used to have the clock set to 528 all the time and didn't include any overclockwidget.
I think we all appreciate the answer you give.
But i don't think anyone appreciate your smart ass comment "Feel free to release your own ROM if you think you can do it better."!
The first part of your message actually made you look clever enough but the last part pulled that down. People who try to look more clever by trying to make others look stupid is worth nada in my eyes specially when you didn't understand that xan.scale was actually questioning these settings himself since the developers didn't use these settings!

Yeah but i'm pretty sure stability wouldn't be an issue if you overclocked your CPU to say, 650-700Mhz instead of running it at the absolute max ie 768Mhz. Someone should start making a decent o/cing app/clockgen for Android, IMO.

where can i change these settings?

i know, but this is not running on this rom:
[ROM](32A / 32B / G1) Magic3G UnI Official Magic Sense UI 10/31/09
when i add this widget to the desktop and then start it, it crashes.
so i need to set these cpu clock manually.
but how ....?

Using the same rom and it's working great !

Feel free to release your own ROM if you think you can do it better.

not, because i'm nooooob, so i cant make better than cyanogen (for example)
so if this setting are not used on any rom, i have supposed that there are problems
sorry for the question....
tomorrow i try to play mp3 tracks when sceen is off , and make a call, for test my cpu setting

This utitlity is useless anyway so don't bother trying to fix it. It crashes sometimes on my phone and i'm running the official taiwanese rom. It can only downclcok your cpu and who in the hell would wanna downclock??! Bring on a util that can actually overclock our cpu past 528Mhz.

A lot of users like to downclock the Hero roms there is set to run 528 all the time. Downclocking is a battery saver that's why its a good tool so you can set it low when screen is off

When using bfs 128 causes black screen issues. mine were cooked with it until i noticed this nasty side affect

i also downclock. maybe rethink your attitude....
i dont need 500+Mhz. I am fine with the 384.

so
when screen is off : 128mhz to 245 mhz
when screen is on : 128mhz to 528 mhz
are the best configuration?

hmmmm crazy ...
this widget needs root, but the:
[ROM](32A / 32B / G1) Magic3G UnI Official Magic Sense UI 10/31/09
gives root, correct?
or did you change the root settings?
I am always getting:

IF YOU HAVE REBOOTS WHEN YOU ARE USING THE PHONE, IT'S BECAUSE YOU SET A UV TOO AGGRESSIVE, SO, YOUR CPU CAN'T BE STABLE. CHOSE A LOWER UNDERVOLTAGE
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW VOLTAGE CAN REACH YOUR CPU, START STABILITY TEST (DOWNLODABLE FROM MARKET) AND USE IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IF PHONE REBOOTS IN THAT TIME, THAT VOLTAGE IS TOO LESS FOR A STABLE CHIP
NOT ALL CHIP ARE THE SAME, IF YOU HAVE A LUCKY CHIP, YOU CAN REACH A LOWER VOLTAGE (AS MINE)

Ok Guyz, since show creates the badass governor, i'd want to use it for a better one multicore configurtion
What's the advantages of multicore sistem?
Symply, more parallelization means more performance per second, as i can say, 2 core can compile at last the double quantity of threads than 1, so, 1 core at double frequency can't compile the same number of thread, but it do it faster..
ex..
if you have 2 thread (impossibile), 1 audo and 1 video, a single core @ 2ghz compile firstly the audio, than the video.. the dualcore architecture can compile on core0 the audio and on core1 the video!! this is the powerfully of multicore system.
Ok, since i say it, i create a MOD witch TRY to use this logically.. this MOD uses the limitate frequency of the badass governor, that's why, with ondemand, all of 2 core goes at maxFreq too fast, now, with this badass, the system will not grow up the first limitate frequency until the single core uses more than that frequency.. so.. we can limitate the "ondemand" issue in 3 freq phases..
thus, the actual MOD configuration is it:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SCREEN ON:
- dualcore with all cores TURNED ON (hope you understand now )
- governor badass for all of 2 cores
- min freq at 384mhz for all of 2 cores
- max freq at 1.566ghz for all of 2 cores
- first phase freq at 810mhz for bla bla bla
- second phase freq at 1.188ghz for bla bla bla
- third phase freq at 1.566ghz (is the maxfreq)
SCREEN OFF:
- only core0 is TURNED ON
- governor conservative
- minfreq 192mhz
- maxfreq 540mhz​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Badass governor has the same configuration as last show's ondemand governor
So, now, with this MOD we have a pure functional dualcore with the advantages of multicore system, with limitate frequency. The stock situation is 384-810mhz, if the single core (is the same, qualcomm uses asyncronic frequency) needs more than 810mhz, it increases the max freq to 1.188ghz (the sensation original frequency), if 1.188 isn't sufficently, it increeses at 1.566
remember, qualcomm has asyncronic frequency, so, one core can be run at 1.56ghz, the other at minimum mhz..

INSTALLATION:
-) flash a kernel witch has badass governor (i advise bricked 1.1) with NO GPU OC and what governor you want, the same for the frequency, mod autochanges those, chose what scheduler you prefer.
1) Flash MOD zip file by recovery
2) Select what MOD YOU want
3) Reboot.
#) You have to reinstall at every Rom Upgrade
# If you want only the UV, select Remove in mod choseing (it's the same as no installing it); you can use the UV mod with all kernels, and all governors
# If you come from V2.0 to 3.0, go to recovery, wipe, format system partition, after that, reinstall rom, reinstall bricked kernel (if it hasn't), reinstall other mods (like battery %), install my mod, reboot.. You will not loose your data
# ONDEMAND VERSION IS NOT FOR GOOD BATTERY CONSUPTION, IF YOU HAVE HUGE BATTERYDRAIN (IT'S WHAT YOU'LL HAVE) INSTALL THE BADASS - BOOST+BOOST VERSION.
DISINSTALLATION:
1) Boot in recovery, flash the Mod
2) Select Remove
3) Reboot​

FAQ

Click to collapse
Witch version could you chose?
The versions of the mod are two:
The 3.7 is the older, it's for the bricked 1.1 version AND for other kernels (don't know if all rom will boot up with my mod, some has issues)
The version 10 and above are for bricked 1.36 and 1.40
​
What setting could you use?
You can intall what you want, i create those (expecially the 10 versions) witch has the possibilities to be changed as users experience.
I advice to use default settings if you don't know how change, but, you should try to, it will not brick your phone, in fact, you could find a new setting could it be better for your use.
So, try try try
One EX:
If you want a faster phone, grow up the minfreq to 300-400mhz, grow up the first phase at 1.2ghz, put the second to 1.2 or more, and change the maxfreq as you would, OC too.
If you want a better battery experience, decrese minfreq, the first and second phase, decrese the maxfreq too, maybe, with this settings: 192 - 648 - 1020 - 1180 mhz
If you want the lowest battery experience, try with this setting: 192 - 648 - 1020 - 1020 mhz
Be careful, you could have some lags if you chose the lower setting, but, for ex, if you don't play, you can chose a setting as like, 192 - 810 - 1020 - 1180 mhz
So, you have to install, select one setting with you think it's ok, try, if you have lags in some situation, grow up some setting, an re-try til you find your best settages. I don't have your use, so, i don't know if you could have a good esperience with my setting.​
How to see if mod is working?
If you have the version 10 or above, you will find a new file in SD card, it calls IBA21ModWorking. if you don't find that, turn on the screen, wait 5 seconds, turn on, refresh the explorer app, and try to see if there is.
If you have the 3.7v you have to download and install system tuner, and see if all cores are turned on.
​
Why my phone doesen't boot after apply the mod?
Not al roms has the same quality, some doesen't have some little features; my mod uses a whyle cicle witch chages settings from screen-on use to screen-off (standby). If phone doesen't boot up, rom doesen't have the possibility to use the cycles in the script, so, script is unusefull.​
Do you need to delete or wipe the rom at every upgrade?
ABSOLUTELY NO, mod auto removes the old script and changes that with the newer one, so, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY FLASH THE UPGRADE OR THE NEW SETTINGS WITCH YOU ARE CHANING!​

Lags depends on badass governor.. it's "normally".. but.. 1 lag per day is not bad, remember, with my configuration you have a better badass configuration with lower power consuption than faux kernel..

Looks awesome
Noticed bug appears after every reboot?
How to change second phase to 810-1134 and delete third phase? Or I don't need it
And soo.. It's fully better than original badass?

You don't need to delete it since system uses third phase (1.2 to 1.5) only in heavy games and web browsing+flash player.. in web usage cores goes to 1.2 max
Btw.. third phase is the maxfreq governor.. i can change it by script if you want to try

Take.. flash it as you would.. you can come back with stock script
For who doesen't understand.. the phase limis is a real limit.. since system needs more performance, system use the lower limit.. as i can see in my use:
For home scrolling 1 core goes to 1.2ghz, the other is at 192mhz (low power consuption)
For notice bar scrolling 1 or 2 cores goes to 810mhz, it depends on other app.. 1 core at 810mhz can calculate the notify bar
For chrome beta browsing.. in web rendering ( page loading) all of 2 cores goes to 1.2ghz, after that, core goes to 192-810 since heavy scrolls, heavy zoom, or animations in the web page (in google page cores goes to 192mhz )
For browser + flash player, 2 cores are uset at 100% at 1.56ghz since it comes down.. after that.. system uses 192-810.. sometimes only one core goes to 192-1.2
In games core i dont know why i dont play games
So.. the third pase is only a turbo boost, it's used only when system needs more and more power.. the phase is a real limit..
For example.. you have a stock 192-810.. when system needs more than 100% (810mhz) badass grow up the frequency to second phase.. it's the same for third phase.. so.. if system doesen't need more power, badass doesen't grow up the cpu frequency..
In my test i see.. ondemand tweaked + core1 off at my usage has a cpu temperature at about 55degrees C.. with badass, 47
So.. lower tenperature.. lower power consuption!
Sure.. ondemand has a faster one response.. since it grow up frequency every time, for low needs too..
you couldn't have performance plus heavy power..
The "busg" is too.. until system needs more than phase freq, it doesent grow up, so, when there's the necessity of more freq, upgrading is slower than ondemand, and it creates a little lag..
On boot, don't know why but.. only one core is turned on.. it's a system fault of reading script.. if you turn off screen, and turn on, it returns at normally (so.. needs an off-on cicle)

Yep that has only 2 phase.. 192-810 and 810-1.2
I edited last message with informations about your questions

Shouldn't this be in the Development section?

nope.. it's not a developement app.. those are some settages..
if you load the script, and delete it, the settages has been changed..
when you turn on display
screen ON:
- dualcore able
- governor badass for all of 2 cores
- min freq at 192mhz for all of 2 cores
- max freq at 1.566ghz for all of 2 cores
- first phase freq at 810mhz for bla bla bla
- second phase freq at 1.188ghz for bla bla bla
- third phase freq at 1.566ghz (is the maxfreq)
when you turn off
screen OFF:
- only core0 able
- governor conservative
- minfreq 192mhz
- maxfreq 540mhz
it changes that values at every turn on-off of the display.. only 1 time.. so.. if you load the script, and delete it, at display turning off, the script doesen't change the values, and, you will not have the "screen off" setting, so, you'll have the stock badass, so, more power consuption
i repeat, my script is only a numerical setting, it's not a kernel, it changes only the superficially values of the kernel, after that, is the kernel governor the real fault of frequency changing
sure.. with my script you have that 2 configuration.. and.. if you see.. conservative in standby means low power consuption (from 20 to 70ma in standby, depends on the system performance needed)

Thanks, right back atcha!! I think I'm the first S5 to break 42K, if I combined all of my best individual catagory scores, I would break 44K.. Got some work to do, got a bunch of tweaks lined up that I haven't tested yet, I think I'm gonna wait for some others to catch up.. or until I get bored again!!
---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
The settings that I use on my overclock (OC) are borderline stupid dangerous. And the settings I use to bench are straight up dangerous. For this reason, I will not be sharing them.
HOWEVER, You can find my non-overclocked faux settings here:
https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13tu3aq0krxchnnv234jdkbrnzrvlpcq
These settings scored 38256, no OC, AEL Kernel controlled by fauxclock.
Note: What we are doing here can result in you frying your snartphone- not worth it just to get a ranking.
For me, I just can't help but to experiment and push my device to it's limits. HOWEVER, my benchmark settings differ from my daily use settings, slightly (for stability) because I love my S5 and would possibly cry if we were to have to part!!
I'm going to share some of my best benching tips (no "tricks" just my observations)
1. Make sure that your Kernel control app has a boot delay of at least 20 seconds. (Mine is at 30 seconds, remember-patience is a vitrue!!)
2. Completely dim your screen, put your phone into airplane mode, disable any motion gestures.
3. Turn phone off for 5 min.
4. Boot your phone, but don't touch it, just let the lockscreen time out, wait 2 minutes, unlock the phone and let it sit for another minute.
5. Do not flip screens or pull the notification bar (we want to NOT trigger any background processes, so turn off any motion gestures- because they are using the CPU while monitoring your sensors and be sure to leave your default homescreen free of widgets).
6. Open Antutu, wait about 30 sec..
7. Click Test Again then uncheck Optimize Memory (your ROM should already have optimized memory and I assure you thay Antutu doesn't know your device better than the OEM or Custom ROM devs) Now, wait about a minute and a half..
8. Click TEST then don't touch/move your phone until it's done..
More Notes:
Make sure that you only ever change one parameter at a time and be sure to run a CPU Monitor when you do, to see the affects of each change..
Reboot inbetween every bench and turn your screen brightness to MIN before you reboot to bench..
Also, I recommend to try running a CPU Monitor once or twice while you run a bench in antutu so you can get an idea of how long it takes for antutu's CPU use to chill out, (same can be done after boot to find out what your device likes, since I've never had any samsung bloat- as I rooted and flashed custom ROMS and Kernels the first day I got my S5- I literally have no experience with Stock)..
Also, running a CPU Monitor when you are getting low benches will help you see if it's being thermal throttled during a bench (throttling has caused me to score as low as 32K) and it will give you the best idea of what may be going wrong and where.
I actually know very little about Kernels, I am just patient, never give up and trial and error sweetspots until I get what I want..
Extra Note: Sweetspots vary from each individual device, so ya just gotta keep at it!!
P.S. These tips should work/help with any benching app.

Make sure that you only ever change one parameter at a time and be sure to run a CPU Monitor when you do, to see the affects of each change..
Reboot inbetween every bench and turn your screen brightness to MIN before you reboot to bench..
Also, I recommend to try running a CPU Monitor once or twice while you run a bench in antutu so you can get an idea of how long it takes for antutu's CPU use to chill out, (same can be done after boot to find out what your device likes, since I've never had any samsung bloat- as I rooted and flashed custom ROMS and Kernels the first day I got my S5- I literally have no experience with Stock)..
Also, running a CPU Monitor when you are getting low benches will help you see if it's being thermal throttled during a bench (throttling has caused me to score as low as 32K) and it will give you the best idea of what may be going wrong and where.
I actually know very little about Kernels, I am just patient, never give up and trial and error sweetspots until I get what I want..
Extra Note: Sweetspots vary from each individual device, so ya just gotta keep at it!!
P.S. These tips should work/help with any benching app.

KitKat tweaks Info exchange for top battery use

Hi to all die hard S4 users,
The S4 is a phone with great performance but after testing latest lollypop I9505ZHUHOK2 on the S4 i come to the conclusion that lollypop will never run as smooth as kitkat XXUGNK4 and have the same battery use, i still read that many users have the same experience as i have and are also saying goodbye to lollypop, the reason i open this thread is that lots of good kitkat mods and info is very cluterd around and i would like to exchange info to let the S4 running at his best with Kitkat, i am very close in doing that but maybe i missed some good tweaks or mods that gets the most out of the S4, hence i will post my config and mods and running rom hoping other users do the same so we can all use the S4 at his best.
Rom : Goldfinger Kitkat V9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/moving-please-post-t2864816
Kernel : AELKernel v6 5B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711416
Tweaks : Skynet http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796
Xposed and wanam Well known so no need for link
I have installed every kitkat rom available but always returned to Goldfinger rom because of its stabillity and S5 layout, i have undressed the rom to bare minimum, no google and no samsung apps or services other then samsung health app, for email i use exchange push and samsung browser for internet browsing and i have a total of 41 apps installed.
I am trying to keep all at minimum what i need so no apps to control the kernel settings or other tweaks as they use resources and memory, i have modified Skynet mod to control all CPU and GPU settings and S4 related kernel and system tweaks and mitigate just to one script and that works flawlessly.
Tweaking the system to it best (i think) with antutu benchmark score of 31250 and a great battery life of 6+ hours of movie watching and 5+ hours of normal use with wifi on or with LTE on, this is done by fine tweaking system without restricting the CPU (162 - 1890 MHZ) or GPU (128 - 450) other than under volt CPU, GPU and under clocking the CPU.
This log tweak list comes from the script when it is executed so you see quick overview of setting, i can’t put it up the package for download but i can put up the file you need to replace after installation of skynet.
Download and install skynet from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796 and replace after installation the init.d script file skynet2 from this post and remove all scripts except control, skynet2 and supersudeamon script.
Tweaks and settings are done on the mentioned kernel and rom above, use it at your own risk.

See attached file to download
I am not at all responsible for inventing or creating these tweaks i just collected them and spend lots of time changing, testing it and implementing it on the S4, all credits goes to k1ks for his skynet project wich makes your phone fly on less fuel and makes it fast and smooth as butter.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Cheers

twrp backup system, put this file on your sd card twrp backup folder and restore system, clear cache and dalvik cache and clear data, wait for first boot and let it settle for 30 seconds then reboot to execute the scripts and your good to go. when you clear cache someday you need to reboot after apps are optimized or else init.d scripts will not be executed they will after second boot. (This happens only when doing so, normal boots or reboots are fine.)

I'll give a try tonight. I read about that kk is better than lollipop but i didn't find all these settings. You got 6h SOT?
Then is worth trying your settings! Thanks a lot!

As you can see from the attached screen shot 50% battery use and almost 4 hours screen on in 11 hours of use, this means at least 6 hours depending on what your doing with your phone like browsing and or social or what ever, i guess when gaming you will get 5 hours gaming time but i dont game other then backgammon or chess and you will have 8 hours of movie watching. (my screen backlight i have set to -1 )
I have also migitate system software so i use bare rom without google and samsung and all other for me useless services.
If anybody like to have it, i can make a TWRP system backup file available which you can restore on your phone, i use new modem version XXUHOF2 which is also better in battery use then kitkat version of the rom build i use.
Cheers

It would be nice to have a backup. Also can you point me to gnk4 modem and bootloader? I have only gnk2.
Thanks!

Thank for sharing.
I have a 9505 since september, and battery's life is very horrible on this device...., but your right kitkat is a way better for battery (5 hours SOT for me:100% to 20%). I talk about CM11 between CM12, because i hate TW (personnal feeling). Did you ever try Cm13, there are a lot improvements specially for battery and speed....
But i check your "build.prop" and i never tried this settings: IPV4Tcp mem, rem, wem,...; net core max...; keepalive intvl, etc, .. in /proc/sys/net ( i always tweak manually, no offense). Did them improve your speed bandwitch, and battery when you stream (my principal use)
Thank in advance.

Hi,
Yes i tried all CM versions but i dont like cm as you dislike tw your right about tcp settings every connection is different but in general its good, one setting is good for internet download and so on and other setting is good for ntfs network browsing what i do a lot, the settings i use are good performance between those two i use.
If you have settings you are using and they are top performing your welcome to share.
Cheers

My tweaks are not so complete like yours and i have to test, first: "net.tcp.buffersize" and "/proc/sys/net/"
But my "best" tweak was to live without the Service Google Play. A MUST :good:

great let me know if it works for you, i agree on removing google play, it save you a lot of battery and privacy, that was the reason i stripped the rom down to bare metal with privacy and battery savings (and fun fiddeling on the rom to gain performance).

Strange, did you had a clean data install? What you can try is to install a fresh install of a kernel.

I managed to install the rom flashing alucard kernel. The rom however has lag when opening apps, also from 100% to 80% dropped using 44 min SOT. This rate I have on stock lollipop firmware, so i didnt see any major changes.

With standard install of the rom you have at least 4 hours sot (without tweaks) so there must be something what isn't correct, if your phone runs only on alucard maybe there are other files from previous kernel or something left on your phone that drains your battery and you cannot boot with other kernel, look for cleaning script of kernel leftovers. Many kernels dev's uses different files what they install on your system.

I've tried this ROM (+AEL kernel + Skynet tweaks without Qosmio's ones) . I've just got my GS4 si I can't compare)
1) I don't have "LED notifications" menu. I think it's due to Goldfinger ROM.
2) If the battery is good when screen is off, I'm quite disappointed by this device when screen is on. One of best way to judge battery drain is this app (for me): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain
And look when screen is on (ok I was using GPS, but it's always like that): As soon as I use screen, -30% by hour.
Can you install this app (clean, no battery drain, no strange permissions, no ads) and report your finding ?
I'm afraid it's just the side effect of Amoled + 1920x1080.

Leeco Le 2 (s3) (X522) Kernel settings for better performance and battery life

Hey guys so after some tinkering and tweaking with the kernel I've come up with some settings that can reduce "UI lag" and improve general performance and lower heat output without tanking battery life or "SOT" so what are these setting? you may ask, well before we get into that please note that your results may vary based on the ROM and kernel you are using, I'm using Bootleggers 9.0 with GrapheneKernel v1.5, the app I'm using to tweak the setting is Kernel Adiutor, don't worry it's really simple and we're not making major changes to the kernel settings. but before making any changes please make a back up of your current settings.
Also if you have any better settings for the kernel, share them below.
First off, Go the "CPU" tab and change the big cluster frequencies:
set the minimum frequencies to 400 MHz (0.4 GHz)
Max frequencies to 1800 MHz (1.8 GHz)
change the little cluster frequencies:
set the minimum frequencies to 400 MHz (0.4 GHz)
Max frequencies to 1400 MHz (1.4 GHz)
Next, Set both big and little clusters governors to "Interactive"
Next, Go to "CPU Hotplug"
Set minimum big cluster core to 2
Change the busy down threshold to 20
Change the busy up the threshold to 40
Offline Delay to 100 ms
Next, Go to "GPU"
Set the max frequency to 600 Mhz
set the minimum frequency 266 Mhz
Set GPU governor to "msm-adreno-tz"
Set Adreno Idler to on
Change Down differential to 20
Idle wait to 20
workload to 5
Next, go to I/O Scheduler
Change the Scheduler to cfq (why because noop sucks when it comes to CPU scaling and performance)
Read-ahead value to 2048
RQ affinity to 1
and that's it your done.
If you guys want me to make a .json fine which you can import just and apply all settings in one go let me know in the comments
for me, light use = checking Twitter, Instagram, web browsing and some Youtube
moderate use = Taking photos, light gaming, and editing photos
heavy use = Lot's of photo taking, photo editing, uploading and downloading of large files, heavy gaming such Hades star, (a GPU heavy game btw) Pubg and asphalt 9 and 8
My battery life with these settings
Light use 5 hours and 26 minutes on average
moderate use 4 hours and 38 minutes on average
Heavy use 3 hours and 10 minutes on average
Heat output when in light use is 33 to 36c on average
Heat output when moderate use is 34 to 39c on average
Heat output when in heavy use or gaming is 42 to 46c on average

Bro,how to disable thermal throttling on Le 2,I've found a magisk module of mi5s,I've flash it,but I think its not working,please help,I'm also a hardcore pubg player

Try disabling Core control if you re using the stock kernel but i recommend using GrapheneKernel or overload 4.10 for Pie based roms or overload 4.5 for oreo based roms and change the thermal limit by a factor of 5 degrees, but do this at your own risk as high temps can damage your device You can also try the new overdose kernel too

Disabling thermal throttling is not recommended but of you're willing to take the risk, it can be done by editing the thermal engine config file in system/etc/ folder. Remember that the chipset has in-built thermal control that kicks in when the phone gets too hot with your upped thresholds. However, don't assume that this is a good enough safety net and go crazy with the temps. You might ruin your CPU! This is more so on non-eui based roms.

If you're rooted, go to system/etc/ folder and look for a file called thermal-engine-s2.conf and send it to me. I'll edit it for you and send it back with your requested level of 60 degrees. Explaining what all the values mean will take too long.
