For those of you used to SetCPU, NSTOOLS and other apps to manage your custom kernels *plenty on our NS forums* I have found this little tool called CPU Tuner
I ditched NSTOOLS since last version has some stability issues when selecting SMARTASSV2 in my experience and others have also reported some issues with last update (I'm sure it will be corrected in next version).
This made me look for an alternative and found this little gem (only thing this app is not capable off is doing liveOC) but it's ok for me and I'm sure for others that like to run their kernels with default clocks put into kernels by the developers.
CPU tuner has profiles pre-made from easy to advanced features and they can be customized to your needs. I selected the most advanced profile and had made changes accordingly to my own needs.
I'm attaching pictures so you have an idea of what the app is capable of doing, I tested this app using Air_Kernel 3.1 voodoo version by r_data and I was able to get 18 hours of use with about 4 hours and 45 minutes of screen ON... that's a lot my friends. Without this app I was able to get more time about 24 hours but with only 3H30m of screen ON. I still am playing with this app as I need to experience what the best governors and frequencies to use depending on my day of regular use.
Please, feel free to try this app (totally free) and you may like it or you may hate it.
I'm just throwing some own experience here and hopefully you can make good use of this wonderful application.
Some info about profiles in this thread here
SCREENSHOTS:
See below in next post
Note: this app has replaced my app *tasker* which I used to manage CPU and Frequencies
Screenies below:
Hmmmm.... Will have to try this out.
If you do, please throw some feedback about your experience with this app.
Looks pretty decent. Might as well give it a shot.

Well, I am pleased with this app... tons of features to manage your custom kernels... you can set governors and different frequencies... I also see there's a function where you can set days to it....
thank you for introduce and recommand this app.
so cool to control cpu because I don't use any mod of ezekeel's.
Thank you.

What this app is gonna do?
This will give you some boost that is really required to play games that are demanding on GPU front.
What this app require?
You need to be ROOTed and for that there is a really great app with one touch facility available! The link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387507
After you get ROOTed just install the Tegra Overclock OUYA EDITION app from attachment and click on OK for one click optimization.
You can also change the actual resolution to somewhat lower to again get a massive boost in GPU intensive games or shall I say those games that scale with GPU clocks very well. (I can confirm nearly 2X boost in RipTideGP2 with all settings maxed out when comparing with 1080p to 720p option provided in the app :laugh
Any kind of hazardous warning before use?
If anything goes wrong then you know where the power switch is! Close the console and cut the power and start again. We have not implemented the on Boot settings for safety reasons...
What about future updates?
I just wish that 4.2.2 gets for the OUYA and that will be a game changer for the console as that support full screen scaling on resolution changing vs screen compensation provided by current android 4.1 version....
NOTE: The app is fully free to use one click solution for OUYA owners and don't require you to get involve in any of cracking stuff Still the app does costs us in development and support front so any kind of donation will be greatly appreciated. If you are planning to buy any Tegra device in future then you can support us by purchasing the original Tegra Overclock app from the market that will in turn benefit you as well..
BTW don't forget to hit the thanks button
EDIT: Version 1.1 Change log
*Nothing new just made the interactive governor as a default rather than performance governor due to heating concern.
*Checked the code so that 2D GPU is set to 520 MHz too, in case it still reports half let me know..
EDIT: Version 1.2 Change Log
***Added requested LBCMT (LastBootCpuMaximumTemperature!) This shows the maximum temperature your device went during last boot.
***Added apply on boot (Works only when the USB device with at least a single file is detected to ensure you don't intentionally mess up anywhere )
The LBCMT will works as soon as you boot once after you open the app for the first time. Also note that YOU SHOULD NOT KILL THE APP manually by task killers or the reporting will be fake. BEWARE....
EDIT: Version 1.3 Change LOG
***Full screen stretched resolution support for CM11 Rom users. Use the special newly added resolution (will only work for CM users currently as no other 4.3 or 4.4 Roms available)
Fixes for temp not showing on custom kernel like EPRJ Kernel.
Thank you for being patient.

now a simple question....can you tell me which options i need to use for get a best performance in ouya games and emu?
This app has a one click solution (found in the op). All you need to do is click the button and your ouya is optimized. The op already has this information.
On another note, this app rocks. Thank you.
Awesome, finally the OUYA version, im about to jump on this right now and give it a spin!!!:good:

Just Press the OK button and wait a few seconds as the settings getting applied. After that Run your Emulator Games and you should notice a difference . Note that Resolution options also cuts the screen area so use them only if a game is unplayable!
is there no way to allow users to set advanced profiles so that they can configure a medium and max overclock setting?
i saw the temps on my core rise up pretty quickly just from fiddling with the UI, not sure if I want to subject this little guy to that much abuse with no really efficient cooling solution under the hood.

it's understandable for the lil guy to get hot quickly when you are overclocking the GPU+CPU, can't expected to run cool unless you put a better cooling fan into you console, i don't mid my ouya running a lil hot, well mines don't get hot enough cause my ouya got a acrylic custom shell with enough vents and airflow that keeps my console way cooler then the ouya stock/factory shell...
its obvious that it would run hotter if the clock speed is higher. no one is disputing that. i just don't see how not allowing the user to specify speed as much of the other CPU overclocking programs like SetCPU allow the user to do.
It's a needed feature IF it can be supported and implemented.
Excellent!
I'll give this a bash tonight and see what improvements there are!

Actually Temperatures are no problem for this chip as it can bear temperatures of 70 C with great ease as the manufacturer mentioned. Don't worry about that also let me know if they are above this temperature so that we can do something about that. If you ask me I am comfortable with 85C as that is what the throttle temperatures (Default mind you!). Just Relax and crush the games already

The custom CPU clock feature conflict the one click feature and not to mention lower clocks are not required as there is no trouble with the highest speed since the cooling is active and with sink. Just don't worry about the temps too much as everything is normal here and the purpose of console is to bear high temperatures with high load even with little heat management..
I have both the old app and the Ouya specific one and it looks to me that 2D GPU clock is set to 260MHz (1/2 of 3D clock). @Kingshoo, can you tell us what the "one click" settings are (governor, CPU clock, GPU, etc).
Much appreciate the work you've done.

Oh really If its working on Half then I will bump that to full to in next iteration
Settings are nothing but final settings in one click. Meaning Performance governor (Because this one has no polling overhead as opposed to interactive). GPU to 520Mhz, CPU clock to 1.7Ghz (1.6 on all 4 cores as set by OUYA). Ram at 800Mhz and also no throttling on Ram and GPU so that performance is reduced only due to H/W limitation or by bad coding practices and not due to some power saving logics

Cool...thanks! Looking forward to v2
BTW...for reference, I had my governor set to performance for a while and it drove the fan to run almost at all times. To the point I ended up shelling 20 bux to buy the Noctua quiet fan. Maybe others have better luck with the stock fan - but if noise is a concern, I found that the "Interactive" governor scales pretty fast with no visible impact on performance vs "Performance".
My 2 cents.
After reading several reviews about Noctua 40x10mm A-Series Blades with AAO Frame, SSO2 Bearing Premium Retail Cooling Fan NF-A4x10, I decided to buy it. I replaced the noisy fan of my OUYA, and the difference in sound is amazing. I had to check if the fan was actually running because barely hear it. Also, the temperature of my equipment dropped ~ 10°C, so overheating issues could be easily fixed, if you decided to overclock. I recommend this product without a doubt. Check on eBay or Amazon.
If you want to replace the fan, here's a guide how to do it. youtube . com /watch?v=rra0FwlHvBA
Well honestly I wasn't able to play games on OUYA but since you people are playing games what the temps of CPU are anyways after say an hour? I am asking this because I don't see a need for custom coolers as 50C or 70C it really don't make any difference to your hardware. Yes the fan noise may be concerning to many but I have cotton plugs in my ears to keep it silent (these really costs cents and not $$!). OK so newer version will have interactive on one click..
My stock fan is totally silent anyway

**Pebble smart watch review**
Decided to snatch up a pebble smart watch, and give my take on the device. Now i've had the galaxy gear(first generation) smart watch before, and was overall not happy as an early adopter of that particular device, which gave me a fresh perspective when experiencing the pebble. My most beloved things about the pebble is the battery life, waterproofing, and always on display. Unlike the galaxy gear which has to be constantly awaken to see the time, or else the battery would be even worse than what it is, the e-paper display on the pebble drains very lil energy, which will last you through the week. Comes standard with music control tools, alarms setting, and some stock watch faces. Which you can add more through the pebble companion app. Other remote and utilities apps can be found the companion app, to add functionality to your pebble. And with a price tag of $150, compatible with android and iOS, i'd recommend this smart watch to most, who's looking for an affordable smart watch.

I've had mine for a while now. It's one of the better options out there. The apps are what makes it great.

I agree on battery life, waterproofing, and e-ink display on the Pebble. Those were the main reasons I got this instead of another system AND will probably stay with it. I currently go from Monday to Sunday before I charge, though I will hook it up on Friday night sometimes. And it charges fast too!! I do think it's over-priced, as the Steel is WAY over-priced, but I am enjoying it so I guess it wasn't too bad. I tried a couple app's but none really did much for me so I use two watch faces, one analog and one digital, both customized with Canvas. My only complaint is with any of the weather functions. There are only 2 options and neither is what my watch uses so they are never in sync. The Glance app I found difficult to use, though everyone else swears by it. I'm trying to see if I'm using it wrong but I don't think so.

What do you find difficult about Glance? Maybe I can walk you through it. Set up is kind of meh and less than intuitive but once it is set up it's easy to use.
I love the Pebble for the most part. I can agree that the hardware is great. The battery life, the waterproofing and the screen are amazing. But the software is just a pain in the butt. I'm getting constant disconnections, the app FC's sometimes and the store is just unusable because it is slow. Also the lack of RTL support out of the box is a downer too.

I'm put off that I have to use my watch to see the changes and that it's, as you say, kind of "meh". Canvas I can see the changes on my watch before I commit, which is kinda nice. Plus I am constantly getting weather issues on it. Canvas isn't much better but it's noticeable. Weather is my biggest complaint with the Pebble. Why it just doesn't emulate whatever I have on my phone I don't know!

I tried Canvas and Glance, and preferred Canvas. As you mentioned, the ability to see the changes before sending them to the Pebble is great. I also like the ability to install it as a watch face as opposed to an app.

I agree. What I'm looking for now is an accurate weather app that is closer to what my phone is showing. Temp is ALWAYS off by 5 or 10 degrees. With only two wx apps to choose from its not that good. Accuweather is better.
Kind of off topic but I"m thinking of using Tasker. There is Tasker and Pebble Tasker. Are those two different apps? Do the work together? Separately?
I am also happy with up to 7 day battery life. And screening calls, emails, and text without pulling out the phone. Since I travel a lot, there are useful travel related watch apps. Finally, I can write my own Pebble app if I need it to do something I want. Which I've done, and published some useful ones on the Pebble App store under the name mikebikemusic. None of them require an android app.
I just don't get 7 days battery maybe 2 to 3days max
Sent from my SM-T530 using XDA Free mobile app
I've gotten to ~6 days at a stretch where I had the activity tracker disabled, Shake to light disabled, and didn't use it much other than just as a watch. With activity tracker on & using it moderately for music controls, fitness tracking & alarms I can get upto 3 days which is good enough
The 7 day usage that is advertised should pretty much be for optimized low-activity usage.
Maybe it's the activity tracker eating your battery. I don't have that but my battery lasts sometimes up to 10 days...with vibration for notifications. If I use music frequently in rife to work, it will last 7 days.
One of the best things of using an android phone is the customization it offers. But, as with other things in life , sharing the way you experiment and customize your device makes it even better!. You can learn things from other users, share tips or information or just brag about performance or style.
So if you feel like it, share your setup here, it can be as simple as the customization you've made in the moto maker or a skin you bought for the device, to a rom or kernel you've tweaked. Who knows, maybe you'll find something cool here to implement on your own setup.
I'm making mine on a separate post so i don't make the first post too big.
So, currently i have an xt1542. I wonder why xda doesn't have spoiler or image resizing in post creation, it's a pity.
Here's and album in imgur so you can see the photos. http://imgur.com/a/somYH
I also bought a Case for it, because i'm super goofy, althought i don't like the bulk added to the device.
Currently i'm using the custom stock rom developed by amansingh63, pretty stable and reliable.
I tweaked the kernel a little bit, with kernel aduitor, changed my cpu and gpu governors to ondemand, and bumped the zram to 1000mb.
I did this because i also use the viperatmos mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137, with the audiophile profile he recommends in that post, and when i use it with interactive i can hear some annoying noises, and in ondemand the noises are still there but they are a little bit less audible, and the audio quality you get is very well worth it.
I have xposed installed with this modules, greenify and amplify are a must if you have xposed installed, battery life does strech out a little bit with them.
Using nova launcher and month calendar with aurora ui icon pack, i like a lot the way it looks.
Currently i'm keeping stock apps, i tried the new moto g4 apps that recently appeared and even though i liked them, you can't really beat stock stability. One particular feature i love about the device is the gestures for the camera and the flashlight.
Battery life gets me trough the day, kinda wish i could get more out of it but overall it covers my needs.
Performance is good for my usage, i'm not a heavy gamer and i mostly use it for browsing, social networking and as my primary music device. So far really happy with the phone and my setup, but there's always room for improvement!

Hello
I have upgraded my Tab S7 to Tab S8. And I have expected new device be much faster and smoother, but what I found that games are really lagging! It was perfectly smooth on S7 but not on S8. Game mode does not help much. I do not play a log of games on this tablet as I used it mostly for developement, but I do play Harry Potter Puzzle and Spells and this game lags pretty bad on S8.
What can be done to fix it or should I wait for Samsung to release update? I do know about Samsung's throttling on S8 devices but I never expect it to be that bad.
And in addition (don't want to open another thread) it seems that S8 has more aggressive memory settings because it unloads apps from memory over time. Which never happened on S7. S8 has more memory and I think it should keep more opened apps, not reloading them. And yes, settings in developer section (do not keep activities) is not enabled

This has to do to android 12, s7 was only on android 11, but also is on 12 now. So then it automatically puts apps into deep sleep. You can remove that under battery settings area and remove apps from deep sleep mode.
About lagging it might be new game mode from samsung since apparently samsung did on purpose limit hardware but added a settings into app that let's you gain more performance in games. Should be in game engine or w.e name is and then settings and then Labs and enable experimental feature there that should boost performance and stop limit the hardware for game.
When I replaces S7 it was already on Android 12 but I never observed such behavior. Anyway, I have put game into never sleep list. As about lags, unfortunately I found no options for that

I was noticing this particular with emulation since I don't play many native android games. When playing Sonic Colors at native res on my Tab S7+, it would almost never go below 30fps in level, and almost never below 60fps in the hub and menus. However, when I tried doing the same on the S8+, I had a bunch of stuttering and performance issues no matter what version of dolphin I used. There was a workaround to this (at least for me). These issues only happened when I restored my data to my new S8+ with Smart Switch, but when I just put all my data and stuff on there manually, the issues seemingly stopped happening. The only game I throttle in is Fortnite, which didn't have the 90fps option even though the S7+ did. The game still didn't feel much different before and after the throttle, still pretty consistent framerates overall.
Edit: Just fixing typos.

Did you used cloud backup or restored through cable or it's the same thing? I have similar problem, but with benchmark results. My device can't get even average model score in 3DMark (about 2 to 8%). Geekbench scores are worse than snapdragon 865 devices. I don't know what's going on. I already tried to reflash stock rom with odin, but that didn't help. Hopefully not using cloud backup will help.

I initially restored with a cable, but once I started getting shawty performance, I made a backup on my sd card and restored it from there with Smart Switch. I never used cloud backup since that takes a lot of time for me. After getting suboptimal results with both, I just bit the bullet and slowly started adding everything and getting it to how it was on my old devices. Only then did I get getting substatiall better results. Now I can run a lot of Wii/GC/3DS/PS2 games at 1.5x, 2x, and sometimes even 3x without getting throttled. Not sure why using smart switch tanked my performance, but all I know is that it's not tanking now.
Thats interesting. Because I also moved data using cable. I do not know how good is cloud since I never did it before (only on Apple devices).
I might try to fully format tablet and test it again.
Will provide more information later

I tried formatting few days ago, and that didn't help. At least for me this problem is not related to Smart Switch. Do you also have bad benchmark scores? I understand that benchmarks are not very good indicator of performance (especially due to GOS), but I expect to have at least average SD8gen1 performance, not the level of SD855.
Did reset to factory settings. It is much better at least for now. Benchmark - tested only Geekbench 5. Result the same
Hi.. I'm experiencing the same problem here.. any updates regarding this problem? My geekbench score can't even surpass an exynos 2100.. it only achieve around 700ish on single core.. the first time I notice this is when I tried playing granturismo with aethersx2.. and it can't even handle the 1x reso.. hhhh.. really frustrated here.. please kindly share any clues regarding this topic thanks in advance.. sorry not a native English speaker
I had same problem, but, i solved using this:
ADB AppControl 1.7.5
(disable all game service (i'm not remember how many)). For me it's work great
--edit
i disabled bixdy and others apps too
First.. thank you for the answer! Might try it out later..
So it's like disabling the "GOS" right? Is it different from the "alternate game performance" option in game booster? They said it's the "official" way to disable the GOS.. but yeah I didn't find any difference after enabling that option though... Hmm..
Hmm...also.. What makes me wonder is.. I saw some reviewers review this device without any tweaking needed and they could achieve a 8gen1'ish results in benchmarks.. and also if you know ETA prime on YouTube.. he reviewed a tab s8 ultra and is able to run a granturismo 4 with aethersx2 (ps2 emulator) in 3x reso in default settings with no problems... I know it's a different device but it's supposed to have a same Chip right?
All of this things makes me frustrated because it was not what i expected from a 8gen1 device.. moreover I saw a sd870 device could run the granturismo 4 in the same settings with no problems.. it really broke my heart..
The issue mainly lies in the SOC.
Even though, SD8 Gen 1 has a much higher peak performance, especially in GPU, it can't sustain that performance due to excesive power consumption which results in thermal throttling.
GOS is another thing that affects the whole experience, it's limiting the performance of the device.

Yeah.. I think this is mainly what cause the problem.. The 8gen1 itself..
a quick update regarding this from me..
I've done some re-test in benchmark and real game perfomance but this time im doing it in a well conditioned (cooled) room..
previously I was doing the test and gaming and in a room without any Air Conditioner and I lived in a tropical country which is really hot and humid...
the benchmark results (3d wildlife) came out Nice in a well cooled room, It scores what most of Tab S8 would score and the real life perfomance (PS2 emulator) is also improved..
it manages to handle GranTurismo 4 in aethersx2 with 3x reso on safe setting quite well..
the CPU temperature is well managed in around 35'ish Celcius compared to 45'ish when not using any air conditioner...

CPU temperature 35 Celsius degrees? Are you talking about an ABSOLUTE idle? Because even if you would put a bag of ice on the TAB it wouldn't sit that low under usage. Even small loads will put the CPU around 50-60 Celsius degrees. Under heavy load up to 85-90 till the thermal throttle hits in.
Also, that ONE wildlife mark test doesn't do much. The idea is stability, better known as SUSTAINED performance, and that's where SD8 Gen 1 ****s itself. Try running a Wildlife standard stress test (20-minute loop) and post the screenshot, you'll see what I mean.

I only saw the perf-z indicator from samsung though.. so yeah.. i know i might just straight up wrong about this I just straight saying what I saw.. and honestly I'm not an expert in this.. just a mere consumer..
Yeah I got you.. it goes downhill even after the first one.. what I'm trying to say was that I never reach that score before in warm room so yeah it's mainly the CPU problem..
What mainly being my concern before was I'm scared that I got scammed with a fake/unoriginal/refurbished tab s8.....
Harry Potter plays fluently on Tab S8 Plus here.
I have sent my S8 to my mom and bought S8 plus. Did not restore, set it up from scratch. No lagging in games, including HP. So, it could be related to thermal soliton in S8 plus as it is bigger

First.. thank you for the answer! Might try it out later..
So it's like disabling the "GOS" right? Is it different from the "alternate game performance" option in game booster? They said it's the "official" way to disable the GOS.. but yeah I didn't find any difference after enabling that option though... Hmm..
Hmm...also.. What makes me wonder is.. I saw some reviewers review this device without any tweaking needed and they could achieve a 8gen1'ish results in benchmarks.. and also if you know ETA prime on YouTube.. he reviewed a tab s8 ultra and is able to run a granturismo 4 with aethersx2 (ps2 emulator) in 3x reso in default settings with no problems...

Yes you have to run 4 adb Commands that also disables game booster and game launcher then GOS will stay disabled even after restart. I've done this and turn ram plus off. I also disabled or put into deep sleep all of the bs apps. I also went to advance features and turned off all of everything causes I don't use the s-pen so no need for air actions and stuff to be on. If you want the ADB commands let me know.
