Hi,
I'm using Co-Core 8.2 and I want to test One Power Guard to improve my battery life.
But I don't have any idea about which CPU governor and I/O scheduler to choose.
Could someone tell me which combination provides the best balance between power-save and performance?
I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2
NB. Cocafe recommends PegasusQ as CPU governor and either SIO/ROW for I/O scheduler but I would like to get some feedback from people already using One Power Guard.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answer. I will give a try with Pegasus
However I noticed that sioplus is not available on One Power Guard settings. Only row and sio.
Is sioplus available in Co-core 8.2?
These apps like this just drains your battery. If you want play with CPU, download a CPU controller app. (like SetCPU) and install CoCore 9.0 which is newest version.
When you don't use phone ; 600 MHz Max & HotPlug
When you don't use phone V2 ; 600 MHz Max & Ondemand & deeper sleep status
When you lock phone, don't decrease speed (too much) because it will use whole CPU if it needs ; 800 MHz Max & Ondemand Q/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q
When using ; 1000 MHz Max & Ondemand/Interactive/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q
When you get mad and crazy about performance, lock the min to max; 1000 MHz min and max & Ondemand & SmartAss (still exists or not I don't know)
If you increase minimum speed it will keep it. So I suggest always keep min to 200MHz. (if exists 0 MHz I don't remember it too)
Edit: and don't go deeper sleep if you use hot plugger governors like Hotplug, Pegasus, Lulzactive Q

Thanks guys,
I will compare the battery draining with One Power Guard just to give it a try.
If I don't notice any improvement then I will tweak with SetCPU

Hi again,
What exactly do you mean wit "deeper sleep"?
Is that an option or when the display is off after several minutes?
Sorry for my ignorance

Go to the CoCore's thread you'll see. It's deep sleep level which can increase your battery life when you don't use the device. It's not about using, it's about when it's stand-by.
Ok
After one day even if One Power Guard is a nice app I prefer to switch governor depending on the display status. So I was thinking about using tasker (instead setCPU) which is already running on my phone and this way not adding more background processes.
I set a couple of task using the CPU control from tasker. It is working fine switching governors but I noticed that the frequencies (min and max) don't change. I tried even with shell script and still I don't get to set the max frequency. Then I prefer to make you a couple of questiosn:
-In tasker when using the CPU control. If I change governor. Should it be set in both CPUs (0 and 1) or only in a single one? In my case i set the governor in both.
-I use the terminal to check the current governor and max frequency (for instance for the cpu0)
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governorcat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
As said above the governor is succesfully changed but that's not the case for the frequency. Then I tried to run a shell script to change the max frequency as follows:
echo #frequency > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
But it seems not working neither. So I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
NB. By the way I'm happy using the governor hotplug while not using my phone (thanks for the advice). In normal use I set pegasusq with sio and seems working great.
Hi all, this kernel is only for sammy 4.3 roms!
This is my first public release of a kernel that I have been compiling and mod for some time
So, my goal is to have all boeffla kernel features with some settings that I want to be modded like CPU OC up to 2GHz (mine fully stable at 1.8GHz).
Changes done to official Boeffla 5.0b5:
Higher ANTUTU score: 23541 (my system with 1.8GHz @ 1425mV CPU and 700MHz GPU)
Compiled with Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.05 (4.9.1) / Linaro GDB 7.7-2014.05
Hard-float and neon compiler flags
Compatibility to boeffla config app (some internal mod into version.c file)
CPU OC up to 2GHz
100 MHz CPU frequency step (more power savings: stable to me @ 775mV <-- undervolted!!!)
Mach-midas: raise cpu freq throttle from 800 to 1500MHz and 200 to 800MHz
Permanent file-system trim
Allow manual brightness to 300 candela
GPU bottom lock fix
Manage only online cpus (cpufreq fix)
Allow cpu-based alignment fixup instead fixup in software (best performance)
VERY IMPORTANT (read here): Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode (2009 bug)
Ethernet USB dm9601.ko module support: loading ASIX usb ethernet module under boeffla config also load this module (usefull for ebay cheap adapters like mine)
To do list:
Configure 40 Hz LCD refresh frequency below 1000 MHz CPU freq, like Sammy 4.1.2 AndreiLux Perseus kernel (more power savings) <-- I have ported it from Perseus kernel and tested it, however I don't like my screen like that (very low lcd freq update rate)
Add Wireless drivers for supporting Ralink rt2870usb and Realtek RTL8187 devices by OTG USB adapter
Add support for f2fs file-system
Implement ZRAM with the latest LZ4 compression/decompression algorithm
Flash procedure:
It is recommended to set a lower CPU freq limit like 1000MHz before flash
If the phone freeze, please reset boeffla profile settings: under boeffla kernel folder (in internal phone storage) there are a cwm zip to reset profile settings or download it below under tools section
Voltage table under config app must be reseted to avoid problems (set to none and press reset!)
Latest Changelog (Version 4):
Mach-midas: raise cpu freq throttle from 800 to 1500MHz and 200 to 800MHz
Some temperatures throttle setpoints increased by ~10 celcius degree (at 90 celcius degree CPU is limited to 1500)
I have done some tests, it's colder than other phones even with 1500MHz full cores loaded (throttle on), for gaming reduce max cpu freq...
Allow manual brightness to 300 candela: our displays can handle 300 candela in automatic mode, manual slide was limited to 250 by default
GPU bottom lock fix
Manage only online cpus (cpufreq fix)
Allow cpu-based alignment fixup instead fixup in software (best performance)
Overvolt by +25mV default 1.8-2.0GHz cpu steps voltage (more stability for 1.8GHz step @ 1425mV, before it was @ 1400mV)
Changelog Version 3:
Mach-midas: raise cpu freq from 800 to 1000MHz when reaching thermal limit
Permanent file-system trim
Changelog Version 2:
Implemented 100 MHz CPU step, now it could be configured from 100 - 2000 MHz

Do you want fries with that? But seriously, isn't 2ghz too much? [email protected] is hot and i guess [email protected] would be a lot hotter and [email protected] would need a fan or a bigger heatsink atleast if ran on full load for 1 hour.

Not really, for example my chip is stable at 1.7ghz with deafult voltage, depend of the luck of your chip :good:
Will you do this on CM/Omnirom kernel?

It depends in your cpu scaling options, like governor... And when phone gets hot, cpu freq is limited to 800 MHz, if you stress test it, you could see that sometimes it goes down to 800 MHz during some time (could be changed before compilation).
And I run cpu @ 1800 MHz with 1.425 V stable, I tried 1850 and it can't be handled, so my phone stable limit is 1.8 GHz )

I am a little busy right now with exams at university. Maybe in the next month
Allow me to revive this topic by saying that my i9300 is stable using this kernel at 1.92GHz with +0mV and -25mV (didn't try -50mV or less)
At 2GHz it reboots after 2 minutes of Antutu.
Its obvious that no one should ever use this for daily use. I used it for Antutu Benchmark and I got a score of 24070.

Hello all.
After about a month of researching and testing with the Galaxy S5, I'm finally happy with my SmartKernel profile, with the interactive governor carefully tuned, using known resources and countless trials and errors, as well as other various tweaks, like VM and I/O scheduler, and decided to publish on it's own thread.
The main resources I've used for the Interactive governor tuning includes the well known:
Android Modders Guide;
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for Nexus 5X; and it's twin
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for HTC Evo 4G.
First of all, this tweaks should be a little sensible to the ROM, kernel, apps, and other tweaks your using. Like, I just found out that Havoc pie style quicktile settings use way more juice then if I turn it off and go back to Oreo default. Bellow you will see the apps I mainly crafted this profile in mind.
For reference: I have a klte with latest Oreo Havoc installed, nano OpenGapps, Magisk and the SmartPack kernel. For apps I use Facebook lite, cause the normal app is just a big hog, whatsapp and instagram social apps. Chrome. I don't use the Google App or Greenify(uninstall/delete velvet). And play lots of games like Clash Royale, Star Wars Force Arena and Arena of Valor. BetterBatteryStats.
And a lot of random apps that normally don't stay on the background.
DESCRIPTION
On the SmartPack manager profile:
. HIghly Efficient Interactive Governor Tunables (most important part);
. No Touchboost or any other boost, only the governor dictates to CPU in which clock it should to be;
. Overclock disabled, but can be enabled at you will;
. No underclock, I do undervolt my CPU but this you need to find your specific device numbers, mine won't cut;
. LazyPlug Hotplug with all 4 cores on all the time (better performance while using and battery savings while at idle);
. I/O Schedulers: ZEN (the L-Speed profile complement this part, with it's scheduler tunables);
. READ-AHEAD internal 1024kb (for 16GB or more) and external 512 kb (for my 8GB SDCard, adjust accordingly to yours SD Card size conform described here
. Adreno Idler disabled: it doesn't make any effect;
. Speaker Driver Leakage disabled and Boeffla Sound enabled with 0 gain as it does make a difference, at least with ViperFX magisk module installed;
. Screen minimum RGB set to 1 (0 won't stick), for a darker dark on our AMOLED, plus some tweaks;
. Led blinking fade enable;
. VM tweaks: dirty_ratio 30 and dirty_background_ratio 15; for minor battery improvement, with a perceptible lower termperature/cpu usage and almost imperceptible performance hit;
. VM tweaks: page-cluster 1; for better multitasking/memory management
. VM tweaks: oom_dump_tasks 0; disable depuration of dumping tasks, less cpu needed.
. LMK values: 32 48 64 128 176 208 (MBs)
L-Speed Profile
. Logging and I/O stats disabled;
. Animations speed set to 0.25x;
. System battery save trigger at 20%;
If you need to provide or read logs, enable logging and i/o stats back on l speed; i/o stats and oom_dump_tasks 1 on smartpack manager
INSTALLATION
Unzip the attached file and import with SmartPack Manager:
The attached profile should be imported, applied and marked as to run "On Boot" to make effect. It will only work with SmartPack Manager and Kernels for both Nougat and Oreo, maybe even Pie. Just try it, and report back. If you wanna fine tune it. You need to use an app or enable the "show cpu clocks" option if your rom supports it (like Havoc, RR and many more), and monitor at which frequencies the lags happens, while doing the jobs you want the CPU to be efficient at. And mainly tweak the target_load according, maybe above_high_speed delays of 1,7GHz clock and above. You need to read the guides more in-dept too see exactly how to do it, but I'll paste here the most important parts on how to tweak this settings more to your Galaxy S5, with your particularly apps and ROM:
soniCron said:
Optimize Idle Frequency
Now that you've got the base configuration, we need to tweak it so that the CPU stays at your efficient idle frequency (384Mhz in this case) without spontaneously jumping when your phone is actually idle. To do this, open a CPU monitor that displays the current core frequencies (I like CoolTool, but you can use what you like as long as it doesn't significantly impact the CPU use--you're best off using a passive monitor and checking the results after 30-60 seconds of no activity), watch the frequencies and see how often they go above your efficient idle frequency when you're not doing anything at all, and adjust the following:
timer_rate - If your idle frequency is not being exceeded much, adjust this downward in increments of 5000 until it is, then increase it by 5000. If your idle frequency is being exceeded often, adjust this upward in increments of 5000 until your CPU primarily stays at or below your desired idle frequency.
above_highspeed_delay - Only if your timer_rate has matched or exceeded 50000 and still won't stay at or below your desired idle frequency most of the time, set timer_rate to 50000 and adjust the "20000" portion of the value upwards in increments of 5000 until the idle frequency has stabilized.
The lower these two values are, the more snappy/lag free your system will be. So try to get them as low as possible without the idle frequency being exceeded too much, as this inversely affects the snappiness and efficiency of your phone when you're not doing anything. Lower = snappier but uses more CPU when you're not doing anything (such as reading a webpage); higher = less snappy but stays in a power saving state more often reducing CPU use when you're not interacting with the device. These are the most critical in determining your idle power savings, so keep that in mind if you want the most battery life!
Enhance Task Responsiveness
Now use the efficiency and nominal clock rate correlations you made for your master clock rate list in the section above and adjust your frequencies to suit your usage patterns. For example, I had web page scrolling as my 710Mhz/864Mhz rates, so I will open a web page and scroll and see how everything feels. If it feels sluggish, I will increase all the references to "710000" in both above_highspeed_delay and target_loads upwards to the next available clock rate until that task is smooth. What you are looking for is constant poor/sluggish performance when the task you're testing for is using its highest CPU use. If the task becomes sluggish/stuttery as it winds down (such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop), we will address that next, so do not take that behavior into consideration as you adjust these values! If the task is smooth until (or after) it slows down, then you have reached your optimal clock rate and can move on.
If you need to exceed your nominal clock rate for a particular task, first measure it again just to be sure you had it correct. If you did indeed have it correct, leave it at your nominal clock rate and adjust the value after the colon next to the task frequency you're tuning downward in increments of 5. For example, if my setting of "864000:80" is still not sufficient, I will adjust it first to "864000:75", then "864000:70", and so on until the task is smooth. However, it almost certainly won't come to this, but if you reach ":50" and the task still isn't performing how you want, set it back to ":80" and increase the clock step once more, then decrease the ":80" until it is smooth.
Do the same for each other frequency in your master clock rate list until you are satisfied. If you have chosen to use more than 2 primary clock rates, add them and use ":##" values between the two surrounding frequency values.
Fix Stuttering
Now that you have adjusted your frequencies for optimal high CPU use in each given task, you may notice some stuttering as the task winds down. (Such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop.) If this bothers you, you can tweak this at the expense of some (minor) battery life by adjusting min_sample_time up in increments of 5000 until you are satisfied.
If you have exceeded a value of 100000 for the min_sample_time setting and still are not satisfied, change it back to 40000 and increase (and re-optimize) your idle frequency by one step. This will impact battery life more, but less than if you were to keep increasing the value of min_sample_time.
Adjust High Load Clock Rates
You're almost done! Now you can leave everything as is and be satisfied with your amazing, buttery smooth, snappy experience, or you can optionally tweak things further to either increase the responsiveness of high load tasks (such as loading image previews in Gallery) or increase battery life somewhat.
Adjust the final delay value in above_highspeed_delay to suit your needs. The default ("150000") means that the CPU load at the highest set frequency (default "1026000") will have to be sustained for 150ms before it allows the load to go above that frequency. Increasing this value will prevent the CPU from reaching higher frequencies (which may be unnecessary) as often, saving battery life. This will come at the expense of burst-type high CPU load tasks. Reducing it will allow the CPU to reach higher frequencies more often, at the expense of battery life. However, adjusting this is probably unnecessary, as it will most likely not yield any perceptible difference in performance. It is recommended to leave this value at its default.

Besides CPU Voltage and Battery, all tabs on the manager are modified and tuned to achieve best performance, while having best efficiency possible. Is not a battery or a performance, but a efficiency profile.
Refer to this thread if you wanna undervolt your device with a well know secure margin for the CPU Snapdragon 801 2.5ghz MSM8974AC, which our Galaxy S5 contains:
[GUIDE] Snapdragon 805/801/800/600 Clock & Voltage (PVS bin) guide by HD2Owner I've managed to achieve much lower voltages then PSV15+ devices (refer to the sheets).
I also attached the excel spreadsheet I've made with all this thread information, both governor guide equations on target loads, undervolting guide findings, and made my own base calculations and settings. Feel free to use, modify, and discuss it with me. You will see that I based the most efficient clocks in an original thought about which ones are the most efficient, instead of plotting the differentials between voltages of each clocks, I did plotted the difference of the clock divided by voltage, which on itself should be how much voltage 1 mhz uses, on each clock rate. So, the higher the number, more speed each clock rate give us by voltage used. It's kinda complicated and idk if I explained it the right way, and even if it really makes sense under scrutiny, but I couldn't think why not myself, so, any inputs are welcome.
I own my thanks to all the following XDA fellows, without them, I could not have achieved this:
@sunilpaulmathew for the SmartPack Kernel which is the only kernel for the S5 that can turn that damned MPDecision off and SmartPack Manager;
@soniCron for both of the governos Guides;
@Saber for the Android Modders Guide which is immensely helpful.

@justjr
Nice work friend. Great to see that your finally open a place to share your findings. In my opinion, your profile should work on any klte device with minimum kernel support. I haven't seen much SmartPack specific stuff in your profile except some hotplug related things. So, if you make it as a shell script instead of KA/SP-Kernel Manager profile, it shall be beneficial for everyone. Anyway, as usual, I'll kang your changes to my kernel default profile

I think this profile should work on original Kernel Adiutor, or any fork of it, shouldn't it?
It should work on any other kernel if the changes really stick, and uses the same paths, but MPDecision will mess with frequencies all the time. It would still follow the governor tunables anyway, but it will interfere with it and in the end will not gain too much efficiency out of it.
Actually I only state it is for SmartPack specifically because of the fact that is the only one I can disable MPDecision on our device, and because I included all the tweaks other then just governor tweaks.
Actually I'm kinda lazy right now, but I could do a shell script if any demand for it shows up.

Well, official KA (free version) doesn't allow to import profiles (paid feature), but all other mods does.
and yes, it is supposed to work on every klte device as long as the sysfs paths exist. Means it should work on any custom Kernel with lazyplug support (most of the other stuff are actually included in the stock kernel itself). Of course, the default settings provided by the kernel devs might conflict. e.g., as you said, MPDecision, although the line "stop mpdecison" in your profile will disable it. By the way, I'm not the only one who disabled mpdecision and relay on other hotplugs in this klte community

By the way, I'm not the only one who disabled mpdecision and relay on other hotplugs in this klte community

Oh, really? Which one? I must had missed it. I've tested all kernels I could find. At least all the remotely up-to-date, like venom, tuned and boeffla kernels. I didn't see any option to change hotplugs on any. There were hotplug profiles, to keep cores online and stuff, but everyone of them keep changing min and max frequency at MPDecision will.

Boeffla and Venom largely depends on MPDecision. However, as I remember correctly (on the basis of the code review, not from my experience, I never used it by myself), the Tuned kernel by @fbs disabled MPDecision upon booting to work well with its own Tuned hotplug.

I tested it too. And although he claims he uses hes own hotplug, it behave the same as boeffla and venom, it has the same profiles, and it does changes min and max freq out of my control.

no it doesn't change any freqs
it works by disabling or enabling cores, just that.
if any cpu reaches the maximum frequency, it enables one more core (as the other ones are already giving their best)
if any cpu reaches the minimum frequency too many times, it disables it (as it doesn't seem to be needed)
so in any moment you can have all 4 cores enabled or only 1. even with display on or off, it doesn't matter
mpdecision will NEVER let you use just 1 core, and it doesn't react as fast: battery hog

Alright, sorry then, it seems my memories got clouded or something, as I've tested it about a month ago. I might go back any day just to test that. Thanks for giving us one more kernel option! :good:
UPDATE OP WITH
Description
Changelogs
New profile 011118, changelog:
. Few governor tweaks
. Removed Virtual Memory and LMK tweaks, let it on default or use L-Speed to optimize, it does a much better job then me
Also uploading the L-Speed profile I use so those who want to use it like I do, but you can choose any VM and LMK profile that fits your needs on the app. Just don't use the governor tuner because it will mess with my tunings, and l-speed governor tuning is a generic one for all devices, VM and LMK is OK to use generic tweaks, but not on governor.
@sunilpaulmathew I took a look at l-speed virtual memory and lmk profiles and they make incredible sense, take a look yourself, they may be what you need to put o that spectrum profiles, because above all they are device independent and do make a noticeable difference.
Is it valide for stock rom (6.0)?

What kernel? It should work if the kernel have lazyplug or alucard hotplug, if is the late you just have to enable it.
Updates
SmartPack Manager Profile 031118:
. Governor tunning: better high load management;
. Included back only 3 sane VM configurations, no more freezing, better cooling (less cpu needed, while performance barely took a hit)
. Sane LMK configurations, kills apps not being used faster, retain some multitasking while not let it slow down the device
LSpeed Profile 031118:
. Removed most tweaks, only left minor stuff, refer to the OP.
L Speed profile is not really needed, SmartPack will do 99% of the job.
OP: descriptions for both profiles updated.
New profile.
I returned to Nougat, RR 5.8.5, same configs works awesomely and the device is cooler/faster then with Oreo. But still will works the same with both N/O and even Pie, not tested.
I also reinstalled Hearthstone as a high load app so I could tune the governor better for it, and up to 1490 MHz nothing is changed, and changed a bit target_loads and above_hispeed of the clocks above it so Hearthstone (and any other high load apps, or, using split screen with youtube) runs smoother/without lags and tasks like opening an app will finish faster, and also go back to a lower clock faster because of that. So, in the end it stays most of the time at lower clocks anyway, only difference is that it will jump faster when needed for less waiting time/lag.
Just to clarify, this is not suppose to waste battery, or drain it faster. As an efficiency profile the goal is to do the job you the want faster the possible, ramping up to the clocks that the jobs demands, without lags (or minimal lags) and go back to idle/lower clocks as soon as high clocks aren't needed anymore, so it don't overstay at a higher clocks then it's needed, very simple.
So, going to a high clock doesn't mean less battery life, finishing a job fast and going back to idle is the key to achieve more battery life, specially during deep sleep, when you really want your device go back to deep sleep fast, but also at any other time. Watching youtube, browsing and using low demand apps still uses the same clocks.
Also, on top of that you will spend more time USING the device instead of WAITING for it to finish a job. Battery life is very subjective, and SoT doesn't mean nothing IRL, I mean, are you spend that SoT waiting for a job to finish or to actually use the device?

In that case nothing is needed, the configurations related to the absent sd card will not be applied.
Ok guys. I was wondering why my device was heating a lot more these last 2 days. Turns out both Alucard and Lazyplug were accidentally activated on 081119 profile. Turn one of them off and everything will be a lot better. Sorry for that. I will upload a new profile very soon.
edit:
101118 smartpack profile:
- Turned Alucard off, accidentally activated it with Lazyplug also enabled, not good!
- Managed to go 1 point higher on freq 1497 MHz, the 2 hotplugs enabled were messing with me trying to test this change before, also 1 point lower on the idle freq 268 MHz for smoother scrolling while still staying at freq 268 while idle. And some more high load optimizations now that I only got 1 hotplug enabled as it should always be.

I will give this a try. Hope it works well...
Yeah.
You know, try it and report back. I don't see any reports, so I assume is working well for people.
Any reports are welcome.

Power and Performance (PnP) Tuner for Zenfone 8
Hello everyone,
Here´s a simple Magisk-Module that changes the behaviour of the so called "System modes" found in the battery section of settings.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

I think some of you might have wondered already what the different sections do.
Just below you will find an overview of the different modes and some of their consequences/settings on stock compared to after you flashed the magisk-module.
I´m pretty sure after seeing the overview you understand the reasoning behind some of those changes.

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.

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.

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.
