[HTC One X] hamdir:
wait till you compare it with the Nexus 7 its like another device

yes faux 005b1 is better but i didnt say its ice cold haha :D

i played for like half an hour in very hot ambient here 30c and once i started the shader heavy batman, it got hot and started noticing some lag, i exited and yup it was locked to 1200

so i think we can sacrifice some few fps (since they are so high anyway haha) for the sake of temps

i think we should settle on

30000

75

10

1400
[HTC One X] timlambo:
That looks good. But I must admit, that the values that's customizable on jb interactive(Trips ROM) is simply amazing. I have asked him to uncap the GPU, so hopefully he listened. It will be a real winner then.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I have to say after the N7 I won't be letting go of sense, as a phone its so much more useful

we have the same values on interactive with faux sadly we kno multi core is broken

can u give us a walk down through those values I found them hard to understand ?
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
Limited 8 thanks.

Hamdir what u think, I'm gonna have good time with One X, winter is coming? Cos' I live in Finland, you know that nordic country. Anyway we have -20c to -30c winters here, ambient temp is -17c to 22c. I just can't wait :highfive:

You mean by 1400 to set max clock on 1400Mhz, right? I noticed it doesn't stick when screen off and I remember you saying something about that too. Shame :l

Please create a rom which is fully optimized for gaming. It should contain all scripts installed and have optimized governors. otherwise it will take always long to reoptimize the rom after an update.

isnt cyanogenmod10 the best rom for gaming?
[HTC One X] ayhamx360:
I tottaly agree with what u said

A gaming rom would be awesome!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes 1400 resets on screen unlock

wish a kernel dev can remove 1500 altogether and be done with it, 1400 lock is why we r getting such amazing boost in games

for now always re-run after screen unlock for both app or scripts, but if ur using script manager always close it before u re-run otherwise 1400 won't work

lol at temps, I'm having a pretty good time here in mid summer middle east so yea I guess u will

the screen is anti smudge and this coating is the cause why it gets uncomfy during heat

compared to the nexus 7 however this coating is priceless the N7 is finger prints and dust magnet

HTC railed aimed at the iPhone quality with this one sadly people are not appreciating all this
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I am done testing! and i've updated the first post with the latest info

I've concluded these remains the best OnDemand values for the One X gaming

sampling rate 30000 (Can't go lower, we need to assess the CPU more frequently during low clocks, this will reset on screen unlock so keep this in mind)

up threshold 50 (Will boost to full speed on 50% load)

sampling factor 10 (multiplies sampling rate by sampling factor, to reduce the CPU checks during high speed)

CPU speed 1400mhz (locks out the troubling single core 1500mhz, step this will reset on screen unlock so keep it in mind)

Yup the same values we have with the current scripts and gaming boost app

i found no gains in changing them, 50 up threshold reduces the chance of a sudden drop while sampling 10 leaves rooms for more cpu checks and reduction if the boost isnt needed

We had a heat problem which is now improved in the faux005b1 kernel

so to conclude no need to update the gaming app or the scripts

now for even speedier cooler One X, go for faux5b1, enable boost and leave all other Tegra3 devices behind :cool:
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
Amazing, I really wanna try this but I don't want to give up CM10 smootheness, and I tried repacking 005b1 with CM10 preview 9 but I get random reboots when I turn screen off :(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I posted this in the gaming boost app thread
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Timlambo can help about JB he has been a CMX resident and been testing everything i'm sure :D i think he also repacked Faux

sorry Timlambo i'm getting you in trouble :D
[HTC One X] timlambo:
No problem. I have used stock kernel for now. But will do a repack and see what happens. Hopefully nothing explodes.
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
Nothing exploded here though :)
[HTC One X] nadejo:
I got an Idea !!

is it possible to creat a gaming rom that only includes the most importent features that the htc one x needs for less ram and cpu usage. So that it is fully optimized to the limit of raw gaminging experience.

for example have a rom without any apps on it (jelly bean mixed up with additional power of older android versions in involving perfection XD)

this rom should be just including the SYSTEM , Phone.apk ,contacts , sms , browser , su, and a launcher with nothing else on it what uses ram or cpu.(the apps must be removable without bloat(no system app))

Then there should be the aroma installer where you can chose the following:

1.Install Multimedia kit: Video player, Musik player, camera, gallery---------------------------------[ ] (i can get music player... from playstore)

2.Install Playstore--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[x]

3.Install other google apps including Playstore-----------------------------------------------------------------[ ] (i can get weather news...from market or web)

4.Install usual bloated rom with sense-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ ] (makes no sense :D)

5.Install usual bloated rom no sense----------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ ] (still bloated with some stuff i dont need)

6.Install a data manager to install your own apks---------------------------------------------------------------[x]

7.Optimize just for gaming (fully) including gpu overclock,minfrees,cpu values ...-------------[x]

8.undervolt by -100mv-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[x]

9.undervolt by -75 mv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ ]

So you see i got a rom on my device where i can enter playstore install evrything else i need. no need any cpu apps to change undervolting values nor governors....

its just optimized for gaming performance

The only problem is i dont know how to creat a rom or kernel
[HTC One X] hamdir:
No resources for this or need games r super smooth now with faux 005b1 and boost app

Besides AOSP roms r very RAM friendly as it is
[HTC One X] nadejo:
So what is the best gaming rom out there? Because faux5.1 kernel causes viva on jb roms and gaming boost app doesnt work on jb
[HTC One X] milan979:
So can I use these scripts even if I am at stock kernel? Cause these scripts names says faux kernel
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes use them on stock or the game app

just remember the screen unlock thing
[HTC One X] hamdir:
CPU Boosting Application Makes Gaming on One X Even Better

thanks to arincs for the heads up :cool:
[HTC One X] hosmsdos:
any tips for the new 2.15 base?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
let me have it first mate and ill surely give my feedback
[HTC One X] hosmsdos:
thanks its already uploaded by maximus

Edit: does the app work on it?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Yes the gaming app works on it and this guide still stands

nothing changed about gaming on the new 2.15 base
[HTC One X] hosmsdos:
Hey hamdir since. 1.29 source was released does the custom kernels have screen flickir fix now?
[HTC One X] hosmsdos:
I tried jelly bean roms and I have to say temple run brave is perfectly smooth and I can't get it to be smooth on sense rom. I'm using the gaming boost app and setcpu unlock screen profile
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I haven't tried Temple run but with Jelly bean roms you can't quite game as effectively as sense roms :3
[HTC One X] havran99:
thx
[HTC One X] hosmsdos:
i have tried alot of games in jelly bean they work perfectly without any boost app or scripts
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I doubt dead trigger runs @60fps
[HTC One X] Azwraith7788:
Hamdir, with faux latest kernel, do we still need gaming boost:confused:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes ofcourse his latest kernel just fixed the need to reboot after the screen unlock

you still need it to apply agressive ondemand settings and max minfrees
[HTC One X] milan979:
I don't know why but I still get some stutter in shadowgun thd and sonic II THD. And I have tried the apps and the scripts.

Is it because I am at stock kernel?

What can be the possible reasons?

I don't have to do anything else after using the scripts or the app right?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
stock kernel is not so good for gaming ...use faux 005 or 006 series ...best 006m its the best :D 006u has huge battery drain and makes the phone hotter then hot while playing hard games...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes stock kernel most likely, also on stock you have to make sure to rerun the script or re-apply the boost mode after screen unlock

they will never match heavily optimized kernel like faux006

Sonic is crazy fast and Shadowgun is 60fps, you get few stutter when u first start the game and everything load, after that its all smooth sailing
[HTC One X] hamdir:
As we all know by now most kernels including stock, resets the clocks (meaning the confusing single core step returns) and sampling rate on screen unlock for those you can only boost permanently using SetCPU 3.x

However Faux solved this problem in his kernel 006, the single core step is gone and therefore we no longer have to worry about the clocks in our methods

I have settled on this method for my One X, i've figured i always want the max gaming on the go from my phone, since its a phone I also need it's Sense features, i don't really care about multitasking

How to set the gaming boost mode permanently using init.d scripts for Faux Kernel

Requirements:

- Faux Kernel or Franco

- ROM with init.d support

Recommendations:

- DieHard or HardToKill patch

Steps:

- Download the attached script of choice, remove the .txt extension

- Using any root explorer go to /etc/init.d

- Look for any ondemand script in that folder if so remove it

- Copy the 99PermaBoost folder to /etc/init.d

- Set all permissions ON, But leave special permissions OFF

- Reboot

You can edit the script using Notepad++ and set or omit your own values, however make sure not to add any spaces, scripts are very sensitive to this and might break

Explanation of the script:
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Now that's a super post.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
OP updated :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
PermaBoost and Faux006 are working beautifully for me, its an iPhone killer now

I just turn on the screen n play away

I strongly recommend all those who care about gaming to move to this method

I'm not even noticing the reduced multitasking
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
I put permaboost file in init.d Script folder without extension removed ondemandstock script, set all permissions on and reboot. But io is still on noop. Might done something wrong?

No if ur using setcpu to check, its reseting it when u open the app so either check by using a terminal command and u will see its deadline, or set it to deadline in setcpu n it will stick, don't tick set at boot

Hi is game boost app will work with viperX 2.0.1 stock kernel? Wich one I must download than?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
supercharger is an extra and up to you

if its the new 2.17 base, you will have to wait till i upload the patches or use the supecharger online patcher

@nyorbee if the app doesnt work for you (you click and nothing happens, it should pause for a second if working) download the version with the stock ondemand script
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
I added supercharger script but for some reason it said services.jar was already patched. Even when uploaded online over V6 script. Went from viperX 1.0.1 to 2.0.1 with a Full wipe. Base is 2.17 . Strange but it says 100% supercharged.

Htc actually using a mod done by someone from xda. HTC decided to use the supercharger mod after they realised that sense was too laggy. A shame they didn't give zepprlinx any credit.:D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
are u sure maybe the ROM creators integrated it

waw: seems its die hard out of box on ARHD 9.0.0 too, ill ask mike for confirmation

it wasn't supercharged on the leaked 2.15 base...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok mike just replied he patched DieHard into ARHD 9.0.0 :)

you guys need to ask the viper guys if they patched it

[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
how good can this get. the best phone of the year with both my favourite roms having everything perfect...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea mate ARHD 9.1.0 is perfection

all you need is the gaming boost app (stock ondemand version) and you are good to go

or use the perma script
[HTC One X] nadejo:
great news :)now with faux7b5 kernel all you need is to do the method with set cpu but dont mark ,,change cpu speed,, and dont forget to supercharge or set agressive on systemtuner tweaks. This two methods do improve the graphics the most . dont use init.d script or gaming boost app they even slowdown the fps . Hamdir try it out your self pleas. its true.

(I use insertcoin, and have cpu variant 3 , 1,6 ghz dont change cpu speed )
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what r u smoking mate :)

its the same my friend, yes they will slow down because you have variant 3 and using the ultimate version of faux :) and the app/script tries to lock the speed to 1400mhz

although on faux setting the clocks doesn't even work so its not a problem

variant 3 is a rarity, but i still call placibo :)
[HTC One X] alldrak:
Very nice, will test and return with feedback!

ncx kernel with oc gpu

Is any guy tried ncx kernel with oc gpu ?

I will try and feedback once I have free time .
[HTC One X] hamdir:
he didn't say what kind of OC? is it higher than 520mhz?
[HTC One X] FOR_CHAN:
Very nice tip, I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot man.
[HTC One X] Ian.P:
ncx0.99 is oc at 520Mhz.
[HTC One X] kingkong0821:
Thanks for the guild,really useful:good:

One thing I wanna ask is that are the function of the scripts and the gaming boost the same:confused:

cause when i used the performance script,the boost is then enabled

is there any differences between them?

And i find that sometimes the boost app shows 'sweep2wake is only.....'(forgot) instead of enale/disable the boost

then i used the scripts,it return normal again,feels weird..

hope my english is not that bad:p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the gaming boost app and the scripts are the same, different methods

the gaming boost app will break if you use the script and will get the weird sweep2wake bug

use only one method

i no longer use the scripts and completely rely on the boost app, you will know the boost app is working when it freezes for a 1 second once you turn it on
[HTC One X] kingkong0821:
thx for the quick reply,ill now delete the scripts then.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Faux010 is now the best kernel for gaming on the HOX, it integrates the latest sources from HTC's 2.17 base kernel

result is massively improved temperatures, the heat no longer happens all over the screen surface and is localized to the center of the phone, it fixes the uncomfortable touch feel during heat on older kernels

Even the OCed ultimate version of Faux is now a valid option, check your Tegra 3 variant, if you have variant 2 or 3 i advice to go with the ultimate version

add a UV -50 script to further improve things but keep in mind anything higher than UV -50 can bring issues of its own or even overheat (due to the chip acting crazy)

OP updated
[HTC One X] adamsweeting:
hamdir.... Great thread. Been using the init.d script method for a while now.

Interested to hear that you use the app now rather than the permanent script method - I'd also like to do that. I tried to yesterday after I flashed the new IceCold Jelly 2.0 but I got an error in the Android installer saying "App not installed"

I'm pretty sure that I hadn't applied the script at that point. I was using the signed sd card method.

To use the boost app, should I just delete the init.d 99PermaBoost file - and then reboot. Then Install the app?

What's the latest version of the app? and does it play nice with JB ROMs?

(I'm using Faux 10u)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
If you Tegra 3 variant is 2 or 3, the ultimate version is better for the following reason

Tegra 3 will throttle down if it over heats, the drop will be from 1400mhz to 1200mhz, our testing showed these steps to cause the most loss of performance

now on the OC version of the kernel, the jump to 1600mhz doesn't give much noticeable gains (this must be due to the GPU scaling) however if the OC version throttles down, it goes from 1600 to 1400, or 1550 to 1350 :)

anyway im playing Nova3 with full effects and the performance on the first fountain section is amazing on Faux010ultimate, also despite using an OCed version the temps are better than the mainline version on the old 1.29 source kernels
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes the quick boost app is the best in order to save battery, you don't need the boost for anything other than games so if you use the perma method, you are loosing battery life during other uses for no good reason

this is why i settled on the boost app

sadly this app doesn't work on non Sense ROMs especially AOSP JB which we have no solution for it, it's explained pretty well on the app thread :)
[HTC One X] adamsweeting:
Ah... Must have missed that. I guess I'll stick with the PermaBoost script then!

Out of interest, what is in the app that requires sense to function?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the app is made using Sense SDK and so it requires the Sense framework
[HTC One X] razer1224:
I got the beach bug blitz working with full graphics so the tegra 3 textures looks so real :D

Yeah :)

[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Hey hamdir.

I have a variant 0 HTC One X using CM10 and Faux Ultimate (1.6ghz single, 1.55 quad) and it runs really cool in all games except mine craft with a really good fps.

Do you think I could pull off maximising the graphics options for games like asphalt 7? If so, how would I go about doing that?

I tried manually changing the settings in one of the files but they were reset each time I opened the game.

Thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you have to make sure not to change the file size

also you have to adjust android_meduim values, these r for t3

check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845993&page=5
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I looked at the thread. Unfortunately I get my games from game loft directly so I don't think those files cover it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the general idea is the file to remain the exact same in KB size, open it with notepad++ and make sure the characters stay the same, just delete or add spaces to compensate

so wish we can do the same for nova
[HTC One X] timlambo:
This is all above board, if that is your worry. It is just the "graphical setting" file.
[HTC One X] robchongke:
do i still need to install DieHard or HardToKill patch in order to use the gaming boost app?:confused:
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Yes if you want to have more free memory available, but it is better to use the app.
[HTC One X] robchongke:
thanks man. i'll just use the app then.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Thanks hamdir. I managed to just change the galaxy S3 entry to android_medium and it works perfectly. It's really smooth and not at all hot. Why do game loft choose to lower our quality when it is not at all necessary?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
gameloft is anti tegra for some reason

I guess they saw the gl benchmark n panicked like everyone else lol
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I guess now so many people have a nexus 7, they are forced to change
[HTC One X] timlambo:
They should change, but not for that reason. They should remember that this is a business, and not a Darn hobby. If they loose customers, well they loose money. Also the chances of the same persone buying from them again is very rare.

This industry(gaming) is taking a knock and should not be f***ing around with stupid games and bad frame rates like they have been doing. They are only shooting themselves in the foot.

I wanted to swear more, but I'll keep calm... For now. :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
haha yea they deserve more actually
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
So have they promised to fix texture clipping in future games or in Old ones too?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
did they promise? when? lol
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Errr not sure. Saw there was a link in one of the threads on xda that leads to a game loft thread where they promise to fix texture clipping for Tegra 3, like in batman.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes batman was fixed
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
And what a difference it makes when they do it right
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you tried it?
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Yeah the graphics are really good; all the textures are really high detail and realistic (except bushes and trees) and there are so many effects, like when it is raining everything is reflected in the road but all blurred and slightly moving. The combat is really smooth and lifelike too, gliding around is my favourite bit. Best thing to come out of game loft for me, but I haven't tried nova 3 so I don't know yet.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
it looks the exact same on both the i4s and SGS3 except there is depth field effect in cut scenes
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Oh well. I'll be happy to see more game loft games like this.
[HTC One X] sandman362:
hi all

first, sry for bad english, im from germany :D

i saw your gaming videos from the htc one hamdir and i tryed to do the same boost on my nexus 7 but it dont worked very well.

first game i boosted was asphalt 7 with your configs but it stutters very bad.

i used the setcpu method but my fps hangs between 2-5 :crying:

so im looking for another kernel with oc for cpu and gpu but i dont find the right "gaming-kernel"

do you know any good kernel or is this a waste of time because the nexus 7 will not have the power like the htc one x?

at least, big thx for your guides hamdir. it opens my eyes how much power is in tegra 3 :victory:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mate you have it on the Nexus 7

all you have to do is flash faux kernel, he ported all the tweaks to the N7 just make sure to flash version 10 mainline, because he still experimenting with the CPU on version 11 beta

10 mainline, OCs your Nexus 7 to 1.5ghz, disables the 1.5gh single core step so you get 1.4ghz quad (gaming fix) and unlocks the GPU from 416mhz to 520mhz :)

as for the governor you don't need do anything! just leave it interactive on the Nexus 7 default values, you can reduce the go maxspeed load little for more aggressiveness

hope this helped ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
this belongs here
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Hey hamdir, I'm using ARHD 10.3, what kernel would you recommend?
[HTC One X] timlambo:
I say probably faux 10u/m or Franco r20. And this is what hamdir also said earlier today on the mega thread.
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Here is a script I modified from hamdir to hopefully work on Franco r20 kernel. It is for gaming so don't worry about that. This was also done blindly as I'm on jb.
