Battery and CPU control apps.. - LG Optimus 4X HD

pointed especially at dexter,
best bat life is without any cpu mods and using the tegra managment patch.. the apk thats in the /bin folder
for some reason, the cpu frequency always gets stuck randomly.. not according to what we set on setcpu
i went from 12hours to 20ish hours of bat life on my phone
and fixed the screen taking time to wake.. went from 3-4 seconds to 1-2 seconds..
also, since dexter pointed out that he had the issue on the sense rom too, this is kernel related..
and bye bye 4xhd.. hello nexus 4 *as soon as i get it in my crappy camel filled country*

V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (doesnt work, Tested)

i say again, MAYBE this idea will work
I've done this on my own 4X and it's still working now, no bootloop; as long as you follows my simple guide below.
Antutu: 12930 (doesn't neccesary mean anything) - Me
Real Racing 3 personal experience: Alot better. (All 4 cores fired up) - Me
Code:
I remember in the thread back in [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837924"]August 2012[/URL] that there's this fix to move NvCPLsv.apk from system/bin to system/app
to improve battery life.
then people are saying that is some profile and power management stuff for Tegra 3.
and some people are experiencing or expecting lag or improvement.
But the thing was shifting the apk infact doesn't do anything because there wasn't any .odex
Now that in V20B HK there's this apk in its 'rightful' location and that THERE's ODEX now,
i thought perhaps its exactly why we are having lag now.
because some poorly tweaked settings in nvcplsv.apk?
Remove gaming lag in V20B, Unleash Tegra 3 on LG Optimus 4X.
1. To do so, go to system/app
2. Look for NvCPLSV.apk and its NvCPLSV.odex
3. Rename them to NvCPLSV.apk.BAK
NvCPLSV.odex.BAK
4. You are done for this folder,
now go to data/dalvik-cache
5. Clear dalvik cache
6. Turn off phone
7. Boot into stock recovery (Hold Vol - and power button until you see the recovery screen)
8. Clear cache partition and nv partition, reboot phone
9. You are done, play some game.
NOTES
Don't be surprised if you don't see all 4 cores fired up all the time. Probably its because the load didn't require anything more.
But if the game was laggy and still receives 1 core treatment, try other game (developer error maybe). If still the same, then this trick isn't working.
Side effect may include increased battery consumption
To undo return step 3 to normal state, and proceed down the steps.
Im not a dev. This trick was pure logical assumptions. For assistance in CWM or other more-than-stock issue SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE HELP :laugh:

I have no idea dealing with CWM LOL
Maybe NFS at certain point of time doesn't require anything more than 1 core. idk.
me too on Real Racing 3 most of the time dont get more than 1 core. but when the time comes i got all 4 at 100%
How to measure CPUs and battery hot exactly? I think we have to be very carefully and we need to test everything on V10H or V20A.
EDIT: I still believe LG can step up somehow. If Nexus 7 can run Real Racing 3 smooth, why O4X can not? CPU is even faster (don't know about GPU MHz) than in Nexus 7.
cpu's you can track with overlay programs like perfmon, as for battery, i'm not sure which, but there are programs that measure battery temperature for sure.

Re: [FIX] V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (MAYBE, Tested)
Dead trigger seems a little smoother, played 2 rounds in arena and the cores seem to fire up when a new wave starts. Some micro stutters but more playable than before. Seems hit & miss really, I think tegra is still being conservative with multi core use. If theres a governer for firing up the cores we need to modify that somehow

Re: [FIX] V20B Gaming Lag, Unleash Tegra 3 (MAYBE, Tested)
Shadowgun was just the server, it just lagged on me. Still not paying for premium from what I've found this does very little after playing games for longer I found games going back to one core, sadly I think I was placeboed. Theres a lot of tegra stuff in the /d folder, I wpuld bet that if therea a cure thats where to find it.

Just tried this and ran Antutu and Quadrant.
Quadrant was 1400 points lower (4010 vs 5442) and Antutu was about 3000 points lower (10000 vs 13000), so this app IMO helps with performance.
after reinstating it, my scores went back to normal.

You're welcome, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39867039 seems the problem is the cpu up threshold is too high, meaning by the time it ramps up its already overloaded and caused some lags. By lowering this I get better multi core, this time I actually feel a significant reduction of frame dipping

Mm, wondered about that. As far as I know the access time between the cores on the bus is supposed to be extremely quick. But maybe that changes when the cores are about to idle, or it conflicts with some garbage collection taking place when they go down..? So that if all cores are active, the direct addressing to the "video ram" these apps tend to use works. But when one or two cores go up and down, the response on the calls drop? And maybe drop irregularly depending on how many processes need to unwind...? Could explain why some people seem to get crazy lag, and others don't really see it.

Stop your n4 from overheating and stop under clocking to 1.2 GHz!!

so I have done the thermal paste in my phone and everything else to get my phone cold . and it still got hot so I found out the droid dna has almost the same chip set and HTC had fine tuned there thermald.conf more than just Google did with the source code . also like lg pumping out a base cheap phone without a thermal pad under the CPU.so if you navigate to system/etc/ you will see the thermald.conf file replace it with the droid DNA file and rename your stock one to thermald.conf.bak and change the permissions of the new one to rw-r-r and reboot and your phone runs much cooler .
I just hate it cause I do no social networking or gaming on my phone and it just web browsing .phone calls or texting and it got super hot even with a under volt and and mp decision off .
I guess the quest continues . I have kept the file off to save misguidance

This .conf file ignores the battery temp sensor completely.
so is good to use or not ?

How exactly is a config file that is supposed to underclock the CPU/GPU when the temperature gets too hot in order to cool the phone down supposed to make the phone run cooler without underclocking at all?

depends what the surrounding temps are and what you are doing. if its going over 80C and youre not doing anything(idling), thats beyond normal. if you are hitting 70C and are playing a cpu intensive game for a bit, thats still normal. if your phone does actually overheat, itll hit the cpu safety temp and turn itself off, to cool down. i believe its 95 or 100C. ive actually hit 100C(trying to get it that hot), and it shut itself down. then i just booted it back up(was around 40C when it booted). depending on the air temp around you, and what you were just doing with the device, idling temps in the mid 40C to 50C are still normal.

im not that experienced. but since 3 days that i was reading all threads around , i figured that werewolf kernel has the top cpu + gpu overclocking. though by default is set at some medium values or you could use the phone to keep u warm in the winter.
---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------
also because im an overclocking maniac and my pc is already 50% overclocked with liquid cpu cooler and more 6 air coolers, keep in mind that u cant overclock any machine more than 20% which is stable. so the max stable overclocking for our optimus cpu is to go to 1700. but thats the MAXIMUM stable. maximum means that it will get high temperature which is bad. but its ok. the optimus has functions that lower the cpu automatically so it cool again. If u connect the phone to charge it and play a game with 1700 cpu frequency it will get to max temperature in some minutes. so u wont be able to get any better perfomance from that. RESULTING: To overclock any machine u need to find a way to keep it cold. if the machine is cold then u can overclock as much u want. the phone doesnt have a way to keep cold, except if u hug an air-condition.
Thankyou verymuch for explaining but is there a possible way to make our phone cooler just like a pc fan cools the pc?

only 2. one is to be always next to an air-condition and the other is underclocking not overclocking. its impossible to overclock a phone to play smoother games and also keep it cool. its not like you can open it and put a fan inside all this overclocking thing is useful only if u wanna have some live wallpaper + many widgets running smoothly.

I use wolfs 008b kernel on latest stable cyanogenmod with very good results for gamming.

You can always tweak a lot of settings using trickster mod. I use a combo of weathley / row @1200 all the rest at default settings

How to get 6+ Hours screen on time!

ok so to do this you have to have a rooted phone and maybe custom rom for certain tips
1) not everyone will want to do this but, for me I mainly use my phone for things like facebook,chrome,texting,instagram social stuff and to be honest the proccesor at 2,2ghz in unnecessary for these apps, I would recommend people like me use the app 'setcpu' and underclock the phone to run at 1.2-1.5Ghz, i don't see any slow down! you can set things to change for example 'if gets below 10% it will allow you to underclock more to save battery' or if 'certain apps open it will fasten'
2) custom rom, use smart 3g, this will turn your phone to 2g when phones screen is off so you still get notification but is'nt draining as much battery
any more tips reply and ill add!
Could you give more details about your personal setup, like what ROM do you use and so on?!?

Agreed. I can get 5+ hours on a Mixture of HSPA+ and WiFi overclocked to 2.5GHz.... too many variables including signal strength and how the phone is used.
I guess the CPU speed shouldn't matter since the nexus 4 is still butter smooth running at that speed.

I suppose really the claim in the OP is that these settings will give you over 6 hours screen on time. You're right that it will help some people, but it also will not help others. Perhaps a better thread title would be to state that these are tips to increase screen on time.

I've been averaging 5hours with LTE on all day one gmail account syncing email only. 2hours of Pandora various browsing on xda, eocf, overclockers forum, Facebook via browser about 20minutes of voice calls, gtalk all day with the wife, etc, etc. This is with every ROM I've run so far all with stock CPU settings.

I'm considering setting up a Tasker profile to manage CPU speed. However, I'm trying to get an understanding of default behavior before I go changing it. I've been checking CPU range with ROM toolbox and the max seems to be changing. I'm assuming that this is due to throttling.
If that's correct, what is the absolute max set to by default?

sour grapes... it will help some ppl, not others... which goes for just about every thread at XDA.
I'd much rather see "partially helpful" threads than not. I can pick and choose which apply to me, rather than not seeing them at all.
Instead of using the steps in the OP, I just use DS Battery Saver and Greenify. It's that easy.
My battery life doubled when I knocked down the screen brightness from 2/3 to about 1/3. The screen is still plenty bright at that setting, and the battery is much, much better.
Yes brightness is a big help. I use "display brightness" which puts an invisible slider up the left edge of my phone screen so I can manually adjust to my liking

underclocking and/or and undervolting is really all you can do, the are plenty of protections in the kernel for individual components from overheating, the phone will begin to throttle (automatically underclock) around 75c generally and shut down in the mid 80c. So other than the battery drain, theres not really anything to be concerned with.
....I have a question.. Where is Iodak kernel 9.95? Sorry..

How hot is the phone allowed to be? I wouldnt say that my 4XHD catches fire, but when I do something like play a game it is so hot that I cant touch the back of the phone for ~10 seconds because its too hot. Is this bad for the phone? I did no overclocking oder such things. Stock kernel and Vanir 4.3.

Well theoretically the SoC will start to deteriorate rapidly around mid 90c+ but it has built in protections, independent of kernel/ android to prevent that, still you would have to go out of your way to disable/ remove all protections in the kernel source before that become a problem.
The kernel will shutdown around mid 80s (this number is usually tweaked in custom kernels) but before that the cpu will start throttling mid 70s (and usually temps wont go past this)

thanks for the answer, so I dont have to worry about the temps...

Well not as far as the hardware is concerned, but it gets pretty uncomfortable to hold at 70c lol

yes it does, but only the place where the cpu is placed gets really hot, and I can hold the phone without touching the exact cpu position :victory:

Modern circuits start to degrade at about 70 degrees but below that they will do just fine, 70 degrees will burn your skin to blisters.
