Right, I understand now. Tasker works on 'events' and 'states'. The CPU profiles are 'events' which means that the settings are requested to apply and then the profile is no longer active - it has no reason to be, as the frequency and governor have already been changed.

Your WiFi work profile is a 'state' and will be active as long as you are connected to your work SSID. This type of profile can have an exit task when it is no longer in 'that state'.

So, CPUDisplayOn will not be listed as an active profile, but I made the notifications permanent, so you will always know what CPU settings are running. If another setting is applied, the previous CPU notification is cancelled.

I hope that made sense? Sounds like all is working well to me!

Let me know if you have any more questions - I don't mind. You don't start a Tasker thread if you aren't prepared to help....
[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
Hi brandall -

I'm a huge fan of this Tasker setup! Unfortunately, I screw around with installing various kernels (various degrees of OC, sometimes no OC, etc) and as such I would need to keep tweaking every single CPU setting you have in your profiles.

What do you think of using SetCPU in tandem with Tasker - SetCPU to do the heavy lifting, but Tasker to perform application-specific OC? I'm using a Samsung Vibrant w/ OverStock 2.4.1, which allows for a 1.2GHz overclock; I'd like to run at the base 1.0GHz except when running a few applications. Do you think there would be a problem with collisions between the two apps?
[Android Apps and Games] leftAlone:
Had to deactivate these profiles. :( I experienced comparatively same battery life but slower performance. I'm going to start re-monitoring the default governors used by the ROM.

@brandall: I'm going to use CPU Spy together with the speak profile to re-monitor. You might want to add CPU Spy on the 1st couple of posts. Just a suggestion. :p

CPU Spy has a thread here in XDA in case you're interested. :D

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'll check out CPU spy cheers, looking at building in voltage scaling next, so hope that has monitoring features in.

Puzzled on your slower performance? As you can set the CPU to what you wish, the problem should be over-performance that drains the battery at the worst!?
[Android Apps and Games] leftAlone:
Slower because of the governors. I don't have interactive so I first used conservative. Performance was really terrible. Each time I turned on the screen I had to wait like 2 seconds before I could use my phone. :( So I changed from conservative to ondemand but with lower speed. Wait time was significantly reduced, but I didn't notice any battery improvements. So I'm back to monitoring so I can tweak the profiles. :D
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hope you can find a setup that works for you!

Just checked out CPU Spy, it's very good thanks, I'll update the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
please answer my question, pretty please?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Really sorry strictlyrude27! Missed your post somehow!?

Glad to hear you're a fan!

In answer to your question..... I'm not sure! :o

Tasker works on 'instances', so it registers that an event has happened, such as 'display off' and changes the CPU accordingly. Once it has changed the settings, it no longer monitors them to make sure they stick.

I do not know if SetCPU works in the same way - so for example, if you have a battery profile on SetCPU of less than 25% and Tasker makes the above changes, SetCPU may step in and change it straight back (if the battery level is (or even isn't) less than 25%) depending on how it monitors your settings...

It would be a case of having widgets and speech active to see if this was happening - you of course want to avoid a loop though... Some would pipe up that having two applications active to make such CPU changes would outweigh the benefits of messing with it anyway - but hey, you never know...

I've messed with so many kernels recently too, but have now found the best one for me - perhaps that will happen to you and you can decide to settle down with only Tasker...? ;)

Having said that, I'm working on voltage scaling to include in these profiles, so I may have more messing ahead!

I waffled, but not really sure I helped?! :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] ophdeheezy:
i noticed a difference with my battery life. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 18rmiller:
I have a problem with profiles staying on when they should be turned off. the main one i notice is with CPUdisplayoff. it only happens every once in a while, it just stays on and eventually turns off. sometimes a restart turns it off but not always. Also happens with CPUbatterylow
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Can you check that the task CPU-DuringCall activates the task CPUDuringCall ? For some reason mine was kicking off CPUDispOn - I may have changed this during testing though....?

I get the CPU-DisplayOff bug sometimes too, but turning off the screen for 5 seconds should re-activate CPU-DisplayOn (when you turn the screen back on)? This is the lesser of two evils, as previously the display on/off would switch too much in calls and when only momentarily the screen went off. That caused greater problems.

Also check that the profiles aren't unticked in Tasker, as the during-call profile deactivates them and should reactivate them after, but sometimes doesn't. I haven't been able to establish why, other than sometimes Tasker does not correctly register the 'phone-idle' variable...

I haven't had this problem with battery-low though... :confused: If you are suffer lag too, it may be to do with your kernel/device, not being happy with the chosen governor/frequency.

If this persists for you, please do let me know and I'll investigate further.
[Android Apps and Games] 18rmiller:
can you tell me how to go about disabling the cpudisplay on profile. basically i want all of the others to still work but when i turn my screen on it can just run the stock CPU and frequency. The reason i ask is because i have great battery life except when my screen is on, I go through 2-3% battery loss per minute
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
WHOA! 2-3% is a lot...! And that only happens when displayOn is running..? I suggest you untick all of the profiles and find out what your kernel's default frequency and governor is using a widget. Set displayOn to match that and then start tweaking from there.

The displayOn profile is an essential part of the profiles, so can't be excluded as it 'resets' all of the other settings.

It may be that the governor you are choosing isn't optimised in your kernel of choice, so mimic default behavior first.

Let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] Nacrul:
Hi brandall,

i used your profiles for a while but i thought about some major changes, because of a few reasons (important ones for me):

- i only needed 3 different cpu profiles (CPU Sleepmode, CPU standard, CPU overclocking)

- i want as few variables active as possible (for this reason i am using variable set to 1 and variable clear in all of my profiles, then my flashvariables task is much simpler to look at)

- i only name tasks if i want to reuse them (for this reason i deleted nearly all of your tasks and made unnamed ones)

- i try to do the handling (in this case the cpu handling) in one task. In this case i only have to think about one great algorithm and the rest of the time i only have to change variables ;)

Maybe this is interesting for you too?

i try to describe my new profiles and hope everyone can use them, if they want to:

I use 2 variables for the cpu handling:

CPUOverclocking

CPUSleepmode

The whole magic is happening in the "CPUHandleFrequency" task.

At first i cancel the notifications, after that i handle the variables.

The CPUSleepmode variable is the "master"variable, if this variable is set, the sleepmode is activated(in step 3 you have to set the frequency for sleep mode, mine is 576MHz).

If the Sleepmode isnt requested, the overclockingvalue is checked. (you have to set the frequency in step 10, mine is 1,113GHz).

If no variable is set, the standard frequency will be used (for this set the frequency in step 16, mine is 998MHz). No Notify action is set in this case (in the other two cases there are notifications).

In the profiles i only set the two variables and call the "CPUHandleFrequency" task.

I made a few assumptions:

If the BattHot-event appears, the overclocking will be ended

If the ScreenOff event appears the Sleepmode will be activated.

If the ScreenOn event appears the Overclocking will be activated, if it was active before the screen went off and the Battery is over 50%, otherwise the standard frequency will be set. If the battery is below 20% the sleepmode is active.

I hope this was understandable. If not, please ask.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi Nacrul, it looks good and I'm sure there are many users who would prefer a more straight forward version.

I'll check this out over the coming days and give you my feedback. Thanks for sharing :)
[Android Apps and Games] maoten:
regarding the Instructions

should i write the replace line as it is?

"Interactive | 128,000 | 998,400"

or each freq on new line?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
You need to delete the action with the instructions in and replace it with a

(CPU action entries are contained under 'Misc'

Select Edit

Press +

Select Misc

CPU)

There are 3 magnifying glass icons in there. Press each one and populate the frequency and governor that are corresponding (or as near as) to the suggested settings.

Any problems, let me know
[Android Apps and Games] Earon:
I have a little issue with the screen off profile.

When i am reading something and the screen turns off, although i turn it on inmediatly, it activates the CPU sleep settings. Dunno if it's my device, maybe.

I have only configurated the profiles like you state in the manual, nothing more changed. Tested increase the wait time to 30 seconds, but didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Are you saying it completely ignores the wait time? Have you got Tasker listed as an administrator in the android settings? Is it ticked under the accessibility options?
[Android Apps and Games] Earon:
Not exactly. It waits, but then configures the CPU as if the screen was still off althought it wasn't.

Yes, both of them. And root enabled, as you can imagine :)
[Android Apps and Games] bingobadgo:
Hi Nacrul,

Firstly, thankyou for rationalising this a bit, it will certainly help some people out. I have had a look at your profiles and tasks and I cant find where the CPU frequecy is actually set. I am probably having an idiot moment but could you help me out please?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] T41NT204:
ive created a walkthru for rooting the htc thunderbolt, based off the easy root script.

the adb folder is already setup, sdk is there, and the downgrade and upgrade. where should i host the file that this forum will allow me to post?

BTW if your running 64bit windows 7 i have included the ADB drivers, but not 32bit. i think they are installed with 32bit windows, but im not certain.

let me know if anyone is interested.

DOWNLOAD > Link 1

if anyone has any trouble please just post here, ill be on all day.

these steps will only work with the DL i have linked. if anyone wants to PM me a mirror it'd be greatly appreciated

steps:

THIS ONLY WORKS WITH A Thunderbolt running 605.6 or 605.9 Firmware

1. copy the root folder to the C: drive.

2. first, install the android SDK in the ZIP file. reboot if needed. plug in your phone, ADB most likely will not install. once or if it fails, search for the driver manually in the ADB+driverX64 folder though device manager.

3. now run the oneclickroot.bat file. dont worry about the prerequisites, they are all setup in the root folder i had you copy to the C drive.

4. after you reboot, plug your phone in. make sure adb drivers are istalled and working.

5. run the oneclickroot.bat file again, and follow all the directions. if you follow the steps slowly and correctly, all will work fine.

************************************************** *******************

REMEMBER! when it tells you to rename some lare file to PG05IMG, that is the PG05IMG_downgrade file. just copy to the root of your SD card, and rename it to PG05IMG after it finishes copying.

also if things freeze up make sure u have USB debugging enabled. DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE. just disable and re-enable if it hangs up when it says "this process may take w while".

************************************************** *******************

Ive also added the kernal to OC the phone to 1.5Ghz, you can do that with rom manager, or though clockwork recovery if your familiar with it. if u do it just copy the zip to the root of your SD card on the phone

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Neo3D:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] e.mote:
It's another ffmpeg-based (i.e. software) player. Chinese origin. Looks suspiciously like Rockplayer. Changelog, if to be believed, indicated that most development took little over a month. Google search on 'moboplayer' turns up no track record, just a list of low-quality links. OP behaves like a spambot. My opinion, let someone else be the guinea pig.

Sorry to be a bit of a skeptic here, but if you go to the Android Market and you look at the reviews for this app all but one of them is dated April 1. That's an odd coincidence.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] mobius999:
It's for real. I just put it on my Xoom and my Evo. Runs really well. It does seem to be a rockplayer clone, but runs slightly better for me, and has a nice interface for a media library. Perhaps the site was updating with the latest version in regards to links being nonfunctional. I just downloaded 2 diff versions about 30min ago.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MvP77:
The UI is a big plus for me. What version are you using?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MvP77:
I updated mine earlier today from the website. I just checked and i see the Neon version sends you to the Android market and the the others are not available. Could be they took them down because of it being published on the Market now.

I also like how you can change the color of the UI.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Digital Man:
OK it is for real. Was able to install it from the Market, and then upgrade from inside the app to the Non-Neon version. Good video player, with HD video that has been transcoded for the XOOM. But, otherwise performance doesn't appear any different than Rockplayer. High Proflile MKV's play with choppy video and no sound. Will experiment more with it in the morning.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MvP77:
I haven't tried any high profile mkvs with it.

I just notices the new version has a nice Cover Flow like design in portrait with thumbnails.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JungleJiujitsu:
VLC Player is in development and if its anything at all like its PC version, what MKV files?:D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dee32181:
After using both rockplayer and moboplayer, I can say that the software based decoding on moboplayer is better than rockplayers implementation. There is less stuttering when playing avi. and mkv files. Moboplayer is free and doesnt require you to pay 10 dollars to remove a pesky R logo.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
Thanks for the update. Altough less stutter is better, any stutter is unacceptable. Hopefully we will see this sometime on the Xoom with high profile videoes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] patass:
I'm liking it now, I didnt realize that there were different versions for different phones/tablets. Kind of upsetting that the xoom is being classified as a mid range device here....Works well thoguh, I can throw my TV shows on it and not have to convert them which is cool.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] SquareBare:
Mobo player has been extremely effective for me. It plays absolutely everything I throw at it without any trouble.

I don't like that it updates itself outside of the Android market though and it seems to have more permissions that I am comfortable with. But until Google and Motorola decide to provide some actual codecs for the Xoom, I will continue to use it.
