[Q] Procesor frequencies on stock KK and L - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running stock KK on XT1068 at the moment and I am very pleased with my battery life.
But my frequency statistic show that most of the time my procesor is on the 787 MHZ (78,19%) and
on the 998 MHZ (10,21 %).
Now I see that some devs said that bad battery life and even overheating problems in Lollipop may be caused
because to high processor frequencies and search solution in lower values.
Is this right way for extending battery and overheating problems life because on KK it is quite good with higher values and
there is no overheating at all.

I was facing that little problem in my XT1068 stock KK too, and the battery life is OK, I don't see a big difference when I used Trickster Mod and set the min freq to 300mhz, but in lollipop even this minor difference is important, since the battery backup on lollipop is worst than KK even with min freq at 300mhz (at least on my device, with Stock 22.21.25 5.0.1 for XT1063, and with Titan Prime ROM), if someone can create a init.d script to set the CPU min freq to 300mhz on Motorola Stock Lollipop Firmware, it will be great since the root isn't stable.

Buddy ,op don't update to lollipop yet if we want we have total control of our devices with furnace kernel and I can't lose that ( with xposed) buddy take my advice and wait for 5.1 also bro plz root and use fastscroll xposed module...

PimpYourKernel!! :D LG p880

Hi guys!! I was thinking about opening a thread where everyone can specify what's the better kernel setup, according to her/his own necessities, and share that configuration with all p880 community. Also, it can be submitted the relationship between the kernel and the ROM an user is running on the device, to compare performances and make each other more conscious about kernel tweaking. I think it's better to open it in general section, so everyone can write, without being scared by submitting something not related to developing.
This thread won't to be in any way a substitute of the "Battery life!" thread, so if anyone wants to post specifical results or screenshots about battery duration, please post them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478514
Said that, the idea is to post a message like this:
KERNEL: name of the kernel you are using
ROM: the name of the ROM you are running
SETTINGS: the kind of settings you applied to your kernel (example: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, Multicore Power Saving=2,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-15 mV, MPU uC=+20, and so on)
GOOD: the benefits you experienced with your configuration (the more specific possible)
BAD: the badness you experienced with your configuration
Of course, if the thread begins to grow up, is recommended to read everything before posting a configuration too much similar to another which have been posted yet.
If you think this is a good idea, press thanks, if you want, and let's begin posting, otherwise report it to moderators, like @laufersteppenwolf, and they will close this thread as soon as possible
If someone like @JoinTheRealms is interested to, I'd appreciate very much to create a section dedicated to the scripts, as a second post of the thread, maintained and refreshed by the author.. Let me know, and take your own space here, if you think it's good for you!
So, I'm starting posting my own last configurations:
1)
KERNEL: iodak v9.95
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.2
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=370 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-30 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-75 mV all frequencies
GOOD: this configuration improve battery life, without decreasing overall smoothness - suggested to the users who don't mainly use the phone for hard gaming and want to find a compromise between battery durability and overall performance
BAD: some little lags, here and there, randomly happen - I suggest to apply underclock, before changing cpu freq voltage, because this configuration is good for 1300 Mhz undercloked device, but it may cause system freezes on some cpu variants, if you set cpu clock up to 1600-1700 Mhz (tested)
2)
KERNEL: iodak v10
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.4
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=620 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-100 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-100 mV all frequencies
This configuration is very battery friendly, more than the last one I was using on iodak v9.95. Nothing is slowing down, btw
@JoinTheRealms reserve a post to yourself, if you liked my idea to dedicate some space to scripts explaining

Lol, I'm using almost the same config.
Kernel: Iodak 9.9.5
Rom: Beanstalk 4.4.2
Settings: I haven't changed anything
Good: Very fluid and stable
Bad: battery life, Antutu 3D test score
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Kernel: 9.95
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max Frequency 1150 Mhz Cpu governor:interactive
mpu undervolt -100 on every freq (cpu variant 2, some hangs while waking the smartphone and I need to tap on the screen sometimes, if I press the power button the device won't wake up anymore until I restart it).
Congestion: westwood
Cpu quiet: runnable
Cpu max screen off freq: 475 Mhz
Good: less heat, more battery life, smooth experience
Bad: If I put 1300 Mhz as max freq the battery life will decrease.. And without 1300 Mhz as max freq I feel like cutting this smartphone's cpu potential.
Still bad battery life even with these tweaks, still disappointed, but so far this is my best configuration with Cm11 official.

The scripts i posted earlier, really shouldn't be take too seriously, mainly because they are written for ubuntu and require input. But when i get some time ill modify my post and give some examples of init.d scripts, or more specifically, the commands inside them. That should be somewhat more helpful i guess

Kernel: Optimus Play v2.53
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max frequency 1200 Mhz (sometimes I tried to put it at 1100 Mhz or even lower, 1000 Mhz, resulting in better battery life)
Congestion: cubic (since there's no westwood implementation in this kernel)
Cpu quiet: not implemented (I think it's put on runnable or balanced as standard)
Cpu governor: interactive
Multi-core battery saving: 1
Gpu frequency scaling: on
Good: awesome perfomances, the games and all the apps are very smooth and compared to the earlier configuration with iodak v9.95, this is very much better, but be aware that I'm trying to have perfomances and battery life balanced, and on iodak v9.95 I undervolted the cpu of -100mv resulting in some cases of hangs and crashes. Battery life is still good, but a bit worse than the iodak configuration.
Bad: Battery life's not very good, it goes harder on deep sleep when the display's off, iodak v9.95 is the best with deep sleep; in fact it takes a while before entering that state, it usually stays on low frequencies but it still consumes the battery.
An other aspect I noticed is that even when the smartphone is on charge, when I'm using it, it doesn't charge much, if ever it looses energy, which is explained by the very good performances of this kernel.
A small bug present in this kernel, and not in iodak, you usually need to double press the power button to wake the smartphone, but it's much better than risking to have your smartphone crashed while waking it up.
Overall: A very good kernel for performances, I don't know if it's the best but it's very good, battery life's "good" if not using the smartphone, otherwise it drains quite fast, I think faster than the undervolted configuration with iodak.
If you're looking for smoothness with games and apps I'd suggest this kernel, if you prefer battery life I'd suggest iodak more, but I remind you the hang problems on it if you decide to undervolt up to -100mv.
I tested both kernels with the same Rom and apps and use more or less, so I'm quite positive it's a good test.
I hope it helps and you can give us tips or suggestions to improve this smartphone's battery life, without losing perfomance. I think this is the thread's goal.
and yeah, every LG Optimus 4x hd possessor's dream is to have a good battery life so well, let's help each other and get the best out from this device, it's not **** yet in my opinion, it just really has a bad battery usage.
@KrisJoe Very good review! I hope many people will follow your example..comparing user's kernel usage and customizations is the better way to help everyone to find the needed configuration, and to let them make whatever they want, with their phone, on the best possible way

I just noticed something going back at iodak v9.95 to try peppe's configuration; on iodak v9.95 the temperature of the cpu is higher, there's a difference of at least 20° C more or less. Problem was that I went back to iodak because charging with optimus play v2.53 was a pain since instead of charging it wasn't. (Of course I mean while in use)
With iodak charging is flawless (I activated the fast charge option, which isn't present in Optimus Play).
Is it because of the fast charging option that's making the difference?
I'n trying the cpu undervolted by -75mv MPU and -30mv LPU, and it seems a bit laggier than the optimus play one, I can feel the difference just typing with the keyboard on the browser, but it's charging despite me using the smartphone.
What do you think it's the cause of the slow charge in optimus? And maybe more important thing, how is it possible that the cpu has a 20° C of difference between optimus and iodak but I keep the same frequency? I even undervolted with iodak, and in theory it should be the opposite situation, with iodak having lower temperature.

So, talking about charging, on iodak's kernel you have to consider two situations: if you are charging through USB port, you may experiment slow charging and battery consumption even while charging, if you use the phone in the meanwhile (so, using fast charge solves the problem, but it is recommended to do not use it too many often, if you want your battery to have a longer life)..the problem doesn't exist if you charge the phone through AC adapter, so the phone should charge at a normal speed, even if you use it, whit no fast charge necessity.
Talking about my configuration, yes, you may have some little lags, here and there, 'cause this is a battery saving configuration, more than a gaming performance one..
Finally, temperature: maybe the difference between the kernels is due to a different overall cpu voltage, or the temperature is not really precisely shown, honestly I don' t know for sure
Sent from my LG-P880 - Beanstalk 4.4.2 - Iodak 9.95 kernel - using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm using the ac adapter and with optimus play charging was a bit hard and slower than with iodak. With -75mv it seems I don't have problems with waking up the smartphone and it seems a bit smoother, maybe a placebo effect, but I think that it could be the limit of undervolting with variant 2 cpus.
Now that I didn't use the smartphone for while the temperature is lower (49-51° C), the high temperature was due to the 1500 Mhz used at the beginning because I deleted cache and dalvik before installing iodak again (to avoid problems). Let's see how it behaves in these days, but I'm a bit confident iodak's config is better for battery saving, even though with antutu benchmark I did 13000 with iodak and, and 12800 with optimus play (with battery saving and performance balanced). It may be a wrong test but I still wanted to give it a try.
Yep, I tried to uV MPU frequencies at -100 mV, and it freezed my phone, after some seconds or minutes..so, I also think CPU variant 0x2 has this uV limit..maybe it's possible to uV a bit more single frequencies, without causing freezes, but I had not the time to try to individually uV any single frequency

I was thinking that we should specify what runtime we're using, if Dalvik or ART because I actually felt some differencies. What about you? Do you feel any difference with using one or an other? Sorry for the off topic, but I thought we could talk about the runtime also since we'll looking for the best performance/battery life.
O.T.: Don't activate ART Runtime on the latest cm nightly (3rd of April 2014), it will force close some apps like uicall, dialer, ecc. I had to return to dalvik by installing an older version in which ART was working... quite unconvenient.
This is the best thread ever guys.
I am using iodak 9.95 in Zaiben RC8.
Max 1000 mzh, interactive, no undervolting, Multi core savings 2
The only bad thing is that if i want to wake a the device it doesn't wakes for the first time and I have to press twice the power button.

Yes, everyone is free to talk about ART or Dalvik, of course, it's related to Rom customization, using or not using it! Personally, I'm not using ART, considering it's on an early, experimental stage, and I have no time to switch between the two runtimes, if something should go wrong with ART (I need this phone as my really daily driver, and I haven't too much time to experiment, ATM).. But every single accurate review, also explaining how runtimes work, with a specifical kernel and a specifical Rom, is appreciated here!

Try multicore powersaving=1, and a little undervolt, you should have benefits in terms of smoothness, without losing battery
Sent from my LG-P880 - Beanstalk 4.4.2 - Iodak 9.95 kernel - using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
KERNEL: Iodak 9.5 (I know 9.95 is newest but I prefer 9.5 as I think it's performance/battery ratio is better.)
ROM: CM 03/30 nightly
SETTINGS(variant1): CPU max: 1500 lowest freq.: 620 screen off max: 475. GPU freq max: 564 mhz
MPU undervolted by -122 mV and LP core undervolted by -10mV but lowest freq. voltage is on default and max freq is on 1230 mV due to 564 mhz GPU freq. ART enabled and Multicore powersaving is set to 2.
GOOD: A lot smoother than 9.95 and with these undervolting I've done, it can survive heavy gaming without throttling.I can say this setup is the best for gaming if you've got variant 1.
BAD: Battery life is a bit worse compared to stock kernel.But with ART enabled it's difficult to notice the difference.Plus if you underclock to 1300 mhz your phone will still be smooth while giving you better battery life.

I use volume rocker to wake the phone up as a workaround.Easy to reach it with your midfinger once you have the phone in your hand.Plus you get to press the power button less, extending it's life.
Edit : Incase you didn't know official CM and most of the custom ROMs have volume rocker wake option in settings > button or under some other category.

[Q] Which rom for battery life?

Just wondering what you guys are using on your phones. I got a s3 lte recently but im using a 2 year old battery so i think that might be the cause of my bad battery life but i have sentinel rom v6 and boeffla kernel with zzmove governor and -50 undervolt cpu and -25 gpu. I struggle to get over 3 and a half hours screen on time with just watching youtube and web browsing. What rom and kernel do you use and what screen on time do you achieve? Can you suggest what i can do to improve.
I`m using Carbon rom 4.4 on my S3 LTE, along with boeffla kernel 2.2. My battery is 1.5 years old and I get screen on time of about 4 hours. So i think for a 2 year old battery your screen time is not too bad. I had best battery life with Omni rom and boeffla kernel, about 4.5 hours screen on time in 48 hours use, but also limited cpu to 1.2 ghz.
yes but i only manage to achieve that with 800 mhz max, -75mv undervolt, ART, and lowest gpu frequency xD
I am using alliance rom v3 with boeffla kernel 5.2. Zzmove extreme battery yank CPU max 1000mhz gpu 266/350
Undervolting both medium touch boost 500
With this I am using my s3 lte while browsing with lte ca 4-5 hours. When I am using with wife for ca 8 hours.

Im using zaiben rom on my lg optimus 4x hd. The performance is poor. Overall laggy and horrible gaming. I dont like using non stock based rom as they always have some bugs. I tried custom kernel like iodak werewolf but it made my phone heat up like crazy and unusable while charging. Any solution?
Buy another device stock Roms won't give you a good performance increase.

I used stock with zaiben kernel for months, uninstalled all the useless system apps with Root Uninstaller, including hangouts, gmail, maps, youtube ... and then installed them again as normal applications and used the greenefy to hibernate most applications, never had a problem of lagg or excess heat. Now I'm testing some KK ROMs , and do the same thing using iodak kernel 9.95 and I'm liking the results.
Make a bakcup and test some KK ROMs.

Believe me, if you're using an LG phone, custom ROMs are ALWAYS better.
Stock ROM got too many bugs and I don't really like modified stock ROMs as people usually add more bloatware.
You should really give CM11 a try.Latest nightlies got very good performance with iodak 9.5 kernel.And no important bugs you should worry about.

If you use a custom kernel like iodak or ww, you can tweak many parameters. Among them there is cpu clock frequency and voltage.
Personally, I've set the stock 1500 mhz frequency and undervolted Mpu and cpu respectively by -30 and -75 mV. My phone runs smooth as silk and never gets horribly hot.
The guys who replied before me are right, though, stock roms or their derivates cannot be compared with CM11 in terms of performance they are way better. If I were you, I would flash one of the latest nightly and a custom kernel.
After some trials and errors you will be able to find the correct balance between over/underclocking and undervolting.
That is, if you are willing of doing some experiments. If you are looking for pre-cooked solutions I am afraid you will be deceived.

Trickstermod is a favorite for most of the people.Check your tegra variant, if it's 1 or above, you can use -122mV for CPU with no problems, max freq set to 1.5 ghz
I'm using this for months now and I sometimes forget my phone can get hot, unless I do heavy gaming for 30 mins or more.
Also try to overclock GPU.Helps a lot with FPS issues.
If you want good battery life and decent performance, underclock to 1300 mhz and undervolt by -122mV (if your variant is 1 or above)
Btw you can check your variant via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/tegravariant after installing iodak kernel.Higher the variant, the higher you can overclock/undervolt.
@UP
My tegra variant is 3 o.o But when I undervolt 30mV on CPU and 75mV on MPU - as @peppethustra recommend in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761923&page=2 - it causes freezes, even when I underclock to 1,3GHz :/

All phones are different you may have to tweak the values to fit your needs. Try upping the LP CPU voltage to -10 and work your way down. For MPU try -25 and work your way down on that as well.
Mine is a variant 2 and can use -20 and -110 with the 520 GPU overclock
Edit: also for more performance try changing your minfree values. Lower values mean better multitasking and high values mean more killing of background apps but more free ram for the foreground apps. I personally use 8, 12, 45, 65, 95, 165

[ZE550KL] Let's talk about this cpu

Hi guys, this is mostly a personal question but i wanted to know if you had something like this too.
Let's say, i have this phone since October 2015, i left it stock for over a year and worked like a charm. But things slow down eventually and i looked for which roms were in here. I was quite satisfied and all but i had the same problem with every rom.
The problem is about the cpu. After flashing any rom, the phone got hot really fast and battery drained a lot (i'm talking about cpu on 55-60°C and 2-3hrs battery life). Then i noticed there was a bug on the stock governor (interactive) and even if setting the minimum cpu freq to 200MHz, it wouldn't go below 800MHz anyway. The only thing i could do to go under 800 was to set 'conservative' governor (which is good for battery life btw) and poof, it went all the way from 200 to 1400. I could live with this, anyway.
Yust being curious i looked for stats and settings on stock rom, aaand it's the same here to. freqs from 200 to 800 are not used at all. And it doesn't even look like it's using cpu hotplugging.
By the way, do any other of you have this issue? If not, what could it be related to?
Thanks!
Are you on stock ZenUI? I do not experience the heating issues you encounter since I use CM13.0 12.21 Snapshot build.
I read somewhere that snapdragon 410 is locked at 800MHz as base frequency. Frequencies lower than 800MHz consumes the same amount of voltage as in 800MHz so there is no noticeable battery life improvement from underclocking, doing so only makes the user experience a bit laggy. Same goes for other phones with the same processor.
My advice is that if you are using stock ROM or custom ROM, don't touch the cpu governor settings. Currently there are no properly tuned kernels for our device.

overclocking not possible?

When i open cpu control apps like 3c cpu manager and rom toolbox pro, the maximum frequency is set to 1.59 Mhz by default and i can't increase it. When i increase it, it again comes to 1.59. Any solution?
Using oneplus 3t
Overclocking depends on the kernel. If you are using the stock ROM and stock kernel, don't even hope.
If you have a supported kernel (not likely), use Kernel Adiutor. Much more up to date.
Also there's core control which will interfere as to make sure your CPU doesn't melt into a beautiful pile of liquid metal ?
As far as I know you shouldn't overclock your CPU, there may be some design problems with it, and becomes unstable. Sultanxda investigated the problem back in December, and it looks like even the stock rom must use some tricks (aggressive thermal throttling?) to reach maximum spec. frequency. Overclocking on custom roms lead to crashes.
Radioactive kernel for los based roms by @acuicultor has overclock. I use it and love it. Great sot, 7-9 hours easy, less if I game. I actually have the large cores underclocked to 2. though so that may help a little with my sot but it shouldn't affect it much at all

When i open cpu control apps like 3c cpu manager and rom toolbox pro, the maximum frequency is set to 1.59 Mhz by default and i can't increase it. When i increase it, it again comes to 1.59. Any solution?
Using oneplus 3t

That is normal although the max frequency of the little cluster is 2.15Ghz as advertised by Qualcomm for Snapdragon 821.
According XDA review of oneplus 3T dated November 2016 https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t-xda-review-what-has-changed-and-by-how-much/ the Little cluster was clocking to 1.6Ghz (round off) as opposed to 2.15Ghz which is its maximum clockrate, it is safe to say that oneplus intentionally did that in order to save more battery.
Btw im using custom kernel ElementalX kernel based on Oxygen OS 4.1.1 and even I set the little cluster to its maximum 2.15Ghz it always reverts to 1.6Ghz.
As you can see OnePlus 3T is still blazing fast even the little cluster is a bit downclocked.

Oneplus 3T manage to beat LG G6 which is a 2017 device

Radioactive kernel stays at 2.188Ghz for the little cluster for me even after reboot if I set it that way. I prefer 1.6Ghz, I like my insane sot. The big cluster oc at 2.419Ghz does not stay though, it automatically reverts back to 2.3Ghz. But I actually prefer to set it uc at 2.15Ghz. Still blazing fast.
EDIT: Using exkm aswell
OC more than possible
