[Q] How many cores are working under Android? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are both cores working? Is there an app where I can monitor that? I use SetCPU and have it @ 1.5Ghz on-demand.
Thanks...

You can try CPU Guage from the market
Simple speedometer type guage, shows each core and if active
Both cores are operational in android roms, when needed. That is a fact.
With this app and ondemand setting, core two only kicks in if you exercise the screen quickly by switching between the cpu speed an temperature screens
There are probably other apps that will show the cores better
Good luck

In setCPU select info then CPU and it will show processor 0 and processor 1 but only when the core is been used so make sure something is running

SetCPU settings for double battery life

Hey guys can someone share what's the best profile and configuration to double the battery life in our devices using setCPU..
Thanks in Advance!

Hi there,
I think, it depends on how is your settings now. You can try 500 mhz and disable mobile data first.
hmm.. okay.. will 500Mhz double the life and also give a decent performance??
i'm more concern on the voltage control.
can everyone share their fine profile for voltage?
btw, my setcpu setting were recommended by CacingKalung.
25mhz and 1125mhz with smartassv2.

The following works for me all the time
Main Profile - MAX - Dont set it all the way to OC if you are using any of the modded kernels, keep it just above 1Ghz, i set at 1200.
MIN - around 600. Use SmartassV2, if unavailable use Performance.
Turn on Profiles and set 2 important profile
Screen Off - MAX & MIN - 122Mhz. Priority 90%, Set governer Conservative
In Call - MAX - Around <=500, MIN = Around 300, Priority - 100, Set governer Performance. This is to avoid any lags when call comes in
With this I am able to stretch the battery easily to 1.5 days. I have observed the performance to be uniform whether on CM7 or MIUI.
Additionally I also configure Adv Task Killer Pro - Always on, Kill Task when screen off, and dont forget to set Ignore for - SetCPU.
This combo of SetCPU and Task Killer works for me ! Try and see if it meets your expectations
How are you able to set exact values of 122 MHz or 300/500 MHz?
On stock ROM, SetCPU only allows for a slider to control the frequency which doesn't allow for precision setting since after about 368 MHz the slider only goes to around 700+ MHz skipping all the frequencies possible in between.

Im using SET CPU and the ondemand governer gives very good battery life. I keep the min speed to 122 MHZ and Max to 1024 MHZ.
Made three profiles for screen off, temp >40deg and In call. Screen off profile kept to 122MHZ, certainly improved my battery by leaps and bounds.

deep idle ot screen off profiles?

which one is more effective?? enabling deep idle or setting set cpu screen off profiles to min100-max 400 mhz??? or shall i keep both???
currently on slim ics v3.5 semaphore kernel 1.1.1sbm

I prefer deep idle, that way cpu will consume less power as well when an app needs higher cpu it will allow up to 800 mhz.(if app don't need high cpu it will be at 100 mhz) If you are extracting huge zip or rar file or converting media file/video/audio rendering then you can turn off screen and there will be enough cpu to those apps. If you don't use any high cup intensive apps in background while your screen is off then go for both.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Governors:
OnDemand:
Ondemand stands for that it scales up on load in frequency and then detects the load and scales back to a frequency which is fullfills the "demand" of the current load dynamically. (AndreiLux)
Interactive:
Interactive scales by default in steps towards max frequency, Ondemand in its default implementation scales immediately to max frequency. (AndreiLux)
InteractiveX(v2):
The same as Interactive, but when you turn your screen off it forces the second CPU core offline until the screen turns on again.
Performance:
Will constantly run at the highest set CPU speed.
Powersave:
Will constantly use your lowest set CPU speed.
Conservative:
Conservative means that it scales conservatively, not that it is conservative. It pretty much very similiar to Interactive in that it scales up and down in frequency steps. It actually can be one of the most aggressive governors out there. (AndreiLux)
Userspace:
Rare in the word of kernels. Typically not used for mobile phones. But what it basically does is, it runs on whatever CPU speeds the user sets through an app.
Lagfree:
More aggressive kernel. It scales the CPU faster, reducing lag and performance, while maintaining decent battery life. Its main goal is to increase performance without reducing battery life.
Min Max:
Only uses your max screen on frequency, and your min screen on frequency.
Hotplug:
Based off of Ondemand. It allows a CPU to go offline with minimal usage. When you're sending messages, browsing settings, or other simple tasks, most likely one of your CPUs will be offline.
PegasusQ:
Samsungs Governor for multi-core phones. Based off of Ondemand. This kernel controls hotplugging as well.
Lazy:
This Governor doesn't scale as fast. It's really a lazy governor, it tends to stick in the same CPU frequency without changing as much. Which can be beneficial to your battery (if your CPU settings are conservative) or can reduce battery life (if your chosen frequencies are aggressive).
Nightmare:
A modified PegasusQ, less aggressive (Which means not as good performance-wise), and doesn't usually hotplug. It is good for a balance between performance and battery life. May prevent the 'Screen of death' as well, since it doesn't hotplug.
HotplugX:
Its basically a smarter Hotplug, to my knowledge, it shuts off the second core much faster, and is a little bit smarter with CPU scaling and power efficiency.
LulzActive:
Based off of the Smartass and Interactive governor(s), the newer version of this Governor gives more control to the user, and he CPU frequency parameters (Ask for a description if you need one) are smarter. Smart at scaling both up and down.
Smartass:
Based off of the Interactive Governor, this is an older version, but this Governor is (or was) one of the smartest Governors, and is smart with performance and battery. More below.
SmartAssV2:
A re-thought version of the original Governor. This one aims for ideal frequencies, meaning it makes up its own frequences in order to meet the requests the CPU needs. Scales down the CPU extremely fast once the screen is turned off, meaning you will get amazing standby times. No upper limit for the CPU frequencies in both the screen on and screen off state(s). (If you want a better detailed explanation of that, please ask.)
Lionheart:
Conservative-based governor off of Samsung update3 source (Line copied directly from a guide, thank you 'Amal Das'), scales aggressively. This Governor is strictly for performance.
BrazilianWax:
Similar to smartassV2, the only real difference is, it scales more aggressively than SAv2 does, which reduces battery life, while improving performance.
SavagedZen:
Based off of SmartassV2, similar to BrazilianWax, but this Governor tends to favor battery over performance. From personal experience, I can say it does a great job of doing so.
Scary:
Conservative-based Governor with some smartass features. Ramps speed up one at a time, and ramps speed down one at a time (ask for description if you don't understand). Caps your screen off speed at 245MHz. Scales just like conservative would. This Governor is more for battery life than performance.
Sakuractive
A governor based off of hotplug and ondemand. The phone hotplugs (when it can) when the screen is on, and can be described as a 'hybrid' of hotplug and ondemand
OnDemandPlus
A governor based off of OnDemand and Interactive. It provides a balance between performance, and saving battery.
DynInteractive
A dynamic interactive Governor. This Governor dynamically adapts it's own CPU frequencies within your parameters based off the system(s) load.[/SIZE]
Advanced CPU Governor settings:
I got most of my information from this thread.
Sampling rate:
Microsecond intervals the governor polls for updates. Assists in the Governor determining whether or not to scale up or down in frequency.
Up threshold:
Defines the percentage from 1 to 100 (percent). Happens less often when clocked at a lower speed, overclocks when you get up into higher CPU frequencies. Using a Governor such as OnDemand prevents it from overclocking nearly 100% of the time.
Ignore nice load:
If you set the value to '1' the Android system will ignore 'nice' loads when the CPU Governor scales up or down.
'Nice' load:
When you turn a process into a 'nice' load, it prevents low activity processes randomly becoming high priority processes, which prevents lag. What a 'nice' load is, is how it handles processes. You can 'Re-Nice' processes, and re-set how processes are determined, based on your current processes that you have. Which helps eliminate lag due to processes being re-prioritized.
Frequency Step(s):
Determines how much the Governor will increase, or decrease, based on your CPU speeds. *This doesn't apply to some Governors
I/O schedulers:
Deadline:
Set to minimize starving of requests. In other words, it is designed to handle system requests as quickly as possible.
Noop:
It handles requests in a basic 'first in, first out' order. So any requests that come in, will also be the first to be executed.
SIO:
A mix between Noop and Deadline. Basic process/request merging. One of the most reliable schedulers out there.
BFQ:
Gives each request a time budget. If the request is not met by the time it is given, the request is skipped. Smarter than the CFQ governor.
CFQ:
'Completely Fair Queuing' scheduler. Scales its requests in an effort to insure smooth task handling. Attempts to give each request equal I/O bandwidth. Typically, lag happens with this scheduler due to the effort of competing tasks on the disk because it tries to give equal bandwidth amongst all requests.
FIOPS:
Relatively new. No I/O seek time, ( potentially better for performance), balanced read/write times, one of the smarter I/O schedulers
ROW:
Read Over Write. It will cause better read times for pictures/media, but when transferring data/installing apps, significant reduction of performance will be present.
V(R):
Best for benchmarks due to performance of requests, but is considered unstable due to random drops in performance. Semi-based off of the CFQ scheduler.
FIFO:
Takes each process in one by one, fair process queuing, balanced queue handling as well, processes go in and out in a numerical fashion.
TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithms:
Tahoe:
Limits unknown packets being received. Limits the congestion window, and reset itself to a slow-start state.
Reno:
Basically the same as Taho, but.. if 3 of the same packets are received, it will halve the window, instead of reducing it to one MSS. It changes the slow start threshold equal to that of the congestion window.
Vegas:
One of the smoothest (next to cubic), it increases the timeout delay for packets, which allows more to be received, but at a higher rate. It also has set timeouts, which helps with speed because it's constantly being refreshed.
Hybla:
Penalizes connections that use satellite radio. Not usually used with phones.
Cubic:
One of the best, most recommended TCP options available. Less aggressive, Inflects the windows prior to the event. Used in Linux.
Westwood:
A newer version of Reno, and another commonly used one. It controls parameters better, helping out streaming and overall quality of browsing the internet. One of the most 'fair' algorithms out there, and is one of the most efficient algorithms to date.
CPU Governor recommendations:
Performance: Use Wheatley, or Performance.
Battery life: Use lagfree, Hotplug, PegasusQ, InteractiveX, or Sakuractive.
A fine balance: Use SmartassV2, Hotplug, or Sakuractive at less aggressive CPU frequencies.
Android tips:
Developer options:
Go to settings>build number... And tap 'build number' 7 times, go back, and you have now enabled developer options.
Force GPU rendering:
What it does is, it force enabled 2D drawing (such as scrolling, and anything non-game/app related) to the Graphical Processing Unit, instead of the Central Processing unit. What does/can this do? It has the potential to save battery life, and takes some of the load off of your CPU, which increases overall smoothness and reduces lag.
Keeping WiFi on during sleep:
What it does is, as this ^ suggests, keeps WiFi on while your phone is awake. To enable this, (and there are many ways.. I'll give you the way I'd do it.) Go to settings>WiFi>WiFi settings (3 vertical dots)>Advanced settings>keep WiFi on during sleep.. And set it to 'always' or.. You can use tricksterMOD and enable that via the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
WiFi Supplicant Scan Interval:
Before you freak out, I will give you what it means. What it means is this: how often your phone scans for a WiFi signal. Typically, it is 15 seconds. The recommended number is 300. To change it, you can typically find it in the build.prop manually edit it on your computer, or use an app such as ES file explorer and run it as root. Go to build.prop and look for: wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=x. And change x (usually 15) to 300, save, exit, and reboot. Please note it is not available with some ROMs that are driven towards a stock-ish feeling. Such as CM ROMs, or any derivative of that ROM.
Tips to get better battery life:
Turn off sync, location, Bluetooth when you're not using it, along with WiFi and data, don't use app-killer apps, lower CPU frequencies, and change your Governor to something less aggressive if you don't use it for heavy gaming.
Status bar with 1 finger, panel with 2:
If you want to access the tile settings quicker. Drag your status bar down with two fingers. If you want to bring down the status bar, touch the top of your screen and slide your finger down.[/I]
Autobrightness sucks!!:
Download an app called 'lux' and use that app. It'll take of any problems you're having, plus it'll save battery.
Changing your phones screen density:
In your build.prop, there is a line of code that looks like this: ro.sf.lcd_density=320, change it to 240 for a tablet-ish feel. Don't go under 160 though, you'll have endless bootloops
Change your bootanimation:
Go to system/media, you'll see bootanimation.zip, replace it with your desired bootanimation, change permissions to r-w-rr (read-write-read-read), and reboot. (Assuming you're doing this on your phone)
Block ads:
Download an app called 'adblock' on the play store, run it normally, accept the SU request, hit 'skip' and run the program, exit out, and reboot!
4x MSAA:
4 times MultiSample Anti-Aliasing. What this does is smooths out edges in apps that support AA. It makes your game look better, enhances graphics, but has the potential to degrade performance due to the screen enhancement. To enable this, go to settings>developer options>and check the box that says 'Force 4x MSAA'
zRAM:
Avoids disk paging, compresses your RAM. Disk paging means the way your phone saves temporary data. It helps with fragmentation of your disk and the physical space, which, over time, keeps speed stable and prevents any system slowdowns.

very useful thread..
can i ask you something?
my phone is very fast and responsive sometimes.. but if i keep screen off for some hours, after turning on when i click on an app (even if it's running on background) it'll
launch with some delay.. i don't like it at all..
i don't play heavy games.. but i need my phone response each touch and launch certain app as quick as possible.. which Governor, Scheduler do you suggest?

Tasker CPU frequency set does not work correctly

Hi
I am trying to control my CPU governor and Frequency through Tasker, and it also works to some degree, the governor works and frequency control on 4 cores works.
However I have a Sony Xperia Z5 with Linage OS custom ROM running. I can through the Action in Tasker get the frequencies for CPU 0 - 3, but not for 4 - 7. What I know ( I could be mistaken) is that the first 4 cores are low power cores and the other 4 are high performance/ power cores.
There is a file for all the cores where you can see the frequency stepping and I've check and this file is there for the first 4 cores and correctly indicates the stepping from 384MHz to 1550MHz.
However for core 4 to 7 only core 5 have a stepping file which also correctly shows the stepping for the high performance cores which is 384Mhz to 1960Mhz.
The Action in Tasker does as mentioned above only set the frequency control for the first 4 cores. not the last 4 cores. How do I fix this. ? I was thinking that i could copy the cpufreq folder from CPU 5 to the other 3 "CPU's" (4,6,7). However The Tasker Action still cannot find the correct stepping for Core 5 even though the stepping file is available.
I'm not sure the above makes sense, so please ask for clarification. Hope anyone have an input for this problem because i cannot be the only one.
Regards

Default QCOM configuration
So what do the limits mean. If the powerhal does not interfere or sets different values than those in this table, then this are the Min/Max CPU/GPU configurations the phone runs with in every mode.
For the default Dynamic mode this means the phone runs at maximal 1804/2112/2592MHZ for Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core when the powerhal decides there´s no reason to boost above these limits. (reasons to boost would be unlocking the device, opening apps, using camera, fling boosts, scroll boosts, drag boosts etc)
So after stumbling over a few reports that reported worse battery life when using the advanced mode a while ago, here is a simple explanation.
The three levels available to choose from in the advanced section resemble X-Mode from the ROG Phone series.
This mode raises the minfreqs to increase performance. The description of the advanced setting "flexible performance settings for all your needs" needs to be taken literally.
There´s only one thing advanced mode gives, even on its lowest level, and that is performance. At the beginning I thought setting the sliders to low would result in a battery saving mode, but it´s exactly the opposite.
I personally don´t see a need for this on a compact device that´s not made for gaming.
So I adjusted most of the modes a bit to my personal liking and created this magisk module.
There´s now only a single high performance mode and that is the high performance mode. It raises minfreqs and is no configuration you should run your phone on a daily basis. It´s primarily meant for benchmarks. There are more boosts in the configuration than those in the overview above, but the overview was large enough as it already is.
Dynamic Mode is now toned down a bit from stock. This is a very good configuration to run games, as the phone will get warm slower and in the end throttle slower if it will at all throttle.
Durable is now an excellent mode to save power if you only do light tasks and need the phone to survive as long as possible, but still want some performance.
Ultra durable is now well, the extreme power saving mode. You can see I raised the max freqs a bit compared to the stock configuration, however we use a small trick. No foreground or top-app tasks (those are usally the apps displayed at the top layer and other important performance hungry tasks) will be scheduled to the power-hungry prime core.
The advanced slider on low for CPU, will use the configuration from stock dynamic mode, which is excellent for day to day usage if you want performance.
It will also allow the Little Cluster to scale back to 300MHZ to save more power, although it´s not default qcom configuration.
The advanced slider on medium for CPU will use max CPU freqs, but still allow the little cluster to go to 300mhz.
The CPU slider on High in advanced mode will now run the phone in the default QCOM configuration for modern QCOM SoCs. That means 691/710/844 MHZ for Little Cluster/Big CLuster/Prime Core alongside the max freqs for each cluster/core.
In a soon to be released update for my kernel you can also combine these modes with the battery saver mode accessible via the CleanSlate config app, which also allows you to restrict the powerhal from boosting above the values predefined in Advanced Low CPU Slider (Level 1), Dynamic (Level 2) Durable (Level 3) and Ultra - Durable (Level 3). As of now the limits differ a little bit, but it can be still done this way.
Just enable the "Battery Saver"-Feature as well as "Battery Saver Touch Limiting" and set the desired level of saving like on the following screenshot:
You can use Durable for example for extended navigation session, or even ultra durable to not engage the prime core while Google Maps is in foreground.
There´s a quicksettings toggle which can be added so I think those settings are really valuable, also to change on the fly more or less.
Anyway, I hope this clears some confusion around the system modes and their usefulness. Also for people that do not decide to unlock their devices.

well sorry for the misalignment of the "default" column. It seems once in the "edit" post view after initially creating the thread it gets squeezed and there´s no way to stretch it again.
At the end of spreadsheet in "PnP-Tuner" column i see "Default QCOM configuration".
It is explained in few places of original post, but not what it exactly is.
Could you please explain/expand it it a little more? Or it's just common name for 691/710/844 Hz? Because it sounds like something special))

The default qcom configuration for CPU min/maxfreqs of sd888 is:
CPU Min 691/710/844 MHZ
CPU Max 1804/2419/2841 MHZ
Very interesting to hear this about the Advanced configurations, that they are all geared towards performance by default.
Do you really feel that your configuration for ultra durable mode, even though it has higher clocks, will save more battery just by disabling the prime core?
I would love to see some comparisons of battery life (Screen on times) with this module enabled and without it.
I still didn't root my phone (very root sensitive banking apps), that's why I can't try it out myself, but I would root my phone and go through the hassle of getting my banking apps to work if I saw that I would get better battery life etc.

same can you please post battery life (total, screen on, idle) on durable & ultra durable modes?
This is Durable 100% down to 5%, then Ultra Durable 5% down to 1%.
Version 115
Rooted stock with this PnP tuner
Refresh rate locked at 90Hz
Force lower touch sampling rate: On
WiFi for perhaps 7hrs total, rest is 4G, 4G+, 5G
Adaptive brightness: On
Always On Panel: Off
A second run with identical settings as above.
But very different usage. A lot more heavy with video calls, YouTube, hotspot, etc.
WiFi around 9hrs, rest is 4G, 4G+, 5G.

Awesome stats both runs. Other configurations that you apply to achieve that SOT? I use the same config (Kirisakura kernel, durable and PnP Tuner) and my average is 5 hours at best :/
5hrs? Yikes!
I'm still on stock kernel. I want to make 2 runs on slightly modified PnP Ultra Durable now and see what that yields. Then I plan on trying out the kernel together with PnP. I am secretly hoping on breaking 10hrs SoT with Kernel + Ultra Durable.
Not very viable for everyday use, for sure. But more like, when needed outside of civilization.
As for other configs:
(not sure anymore what is default or not, so I just list random things I think I might have changed, or could have an impact)
WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, Location: Always off unless using/needed.
VoLTE on.
5G network on.
Auto 5G on.
Preffered network type: 2/3/4/5G
WiFi calling on
Calling preference: Mobile network
Roaming preference: WiFi

Very interesting to hear this about the Advanced configurations, that they are all geared towards performance by default.

Well the Prime core is purely made for performance since its the Cortex X1 and not just a A78 with more cache. So basically "disabling" it could yield quite some saving.
I am surprised they don't do this by default... (at least for modes when you want to conserve maximum energy)
Yeah, turning off the prime core entirely in ultra durable mode would make a whole lotta sense.
Freak07,
Hi! Is it still actual on latest FW's and your kernel?

In a soon to be released update for my kernel you can also combine these modes with the battery saver mode accessible via the CleanSlate config app, which also allows you to restrict the powerhal from boosting above the values predefined in Advanced Low CPU Slider (Level 1), Dynamic (Level 2) Durable (Level 3) and Ultra - Durable (Level 3). As of now the limits differ a little bit, but it can be still done this way.
Just enable the "Battery Saver"-Feature as well as "Battery Saver Touch Limiting" and set the desired level of saving like on the following screenshot:

Is there any other ways to control that instead of installing separate app?
