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

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.

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

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.
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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
don't forget to hit thanks!
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.

Custom kernels for the OP3T purposely underclocks the CPU to the same frequencies as the SD820 due to stability reasons. The stock kernel allows for the CPU to achieve higher frequencies and then throttles it down to prevent crashes. There is likely slightly reduced performance in custom kernels compared to the stock kernel, though I don't think it should result in noticeable lag. Are you sure your ElementalX kernel isn't set to power saving mode? Maybe try to set it to performance to test it out, or change the CPU governors.
You can change cpu speeds in the aroma installer when installing through twrp. There are several options I usually just use the default and still get great performance for scrubbing including games. You can also change cpu speeds with the elemental x kernel manager app from the play store costs about 2 or 3 dollars definitely worth it cause it will also update the kernel for you.

ElementalX doesn't underclock the cpu.
So here many custom ROM's
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/development/available-stock-custom-roms-mi-max-2-t3737523
Which of this the best for gaming? I don't care about my battery life or something else, only good optimization for games :laugh:
Also mb someone know how to tune Kernel Adiutor for gaming, is any guides or something else? i don't found any of this for Mi Max 2
It would be great, if u help
Without a custom Kernel, nothing much can be tuned in Kernel Adiutor to achieve higher performance in games. OC-ing the GPU and CPU would be probably the only solution to gain more FPS. All this ROMs are gonna perform similar with the same kernel.

optimization for games in kernel adiutor is actually pretty straight forward. just choose performance governor for both cpu and gpu and lock both to the highest possible clocks (cpu minimum and maximum 2016 mhz, gpu min and max 650 mhz). that way they wont be downclocking to save power and ull have max performance always
furthermore, u could change IO scheduler to deadline for faster loading times and disable core control (as well as temperature and vdd control, depending on whether theyre active by default) in thermal tab. just keep an eye on device temperatures, cuz ull be basically removing throttling measures for hardware safety. although i doubt this should be a problem with an soc like SD625 in such a large device, but still...better be safe than sorry

ok i just checked on my phone with LOS 14.1 installed. when u set min and max gpu frequency to 650 mhz and set perfomance profile the gpu will only downclock to 320 mhz if there is no load put onto it. if there is ANY load whatsoever (in my case a simple continuous finger swipe over the display) the gpu clock sticks to 650 mhz and stays there.
so no worries, uve unlocked ur SoC performance completely and ull get the most out of it during gaming
edit: btw, dont let the poll results fool you. most people just go with LOS because thats what they are accustomed to the most and because its been out the longest for mi max 2 as far as custom roms are concerned. so more people voting there doesnt mean its actually faster than other roms (likely that most people havent tried ALL roms, especially for gaming-specific purposes )

Sorry I won't be much help on this as I haven't needed to change frequencies in a while. Afaik you just need to change the CPU and GPU governors to power save and set it to apply on reboot, small cores like to jump up a lot more max freq than the big cores so maybe around 1500mhz for small, keep large cores from going into 2000mhz and prime core too, GPU from what I remember really struggles if limited to lowest frequency, 300ish is a good starting point.
Depends on what rom you are running too, miui you don't really have a choice but to use stock kernel. On custom rom you have a lot more choices of kernel like immensity, f1xy, kraven and notkernel.

So, if this is true, changing freqs can't be done even in custom ROMs (non MIUI) and it's bad.
I tried lowering screen resolution and DPI to save power but the rounded corners become even rounder (?!) and power usage didn't drop that much.
