[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Guys, how much of a difference does game boost make on jelly bean. I'm considering rooting my one x, mainly for this to improve performance in games. Is it a noticeable difference and do you have to manually activate it. Also, anyone have any video comparisons on the difference the app makes? Thanks guys
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
It won`t make much difference on thd games and optimized apps that already ran pretty smooth but for gameloft games such as asphalt 7 it can double the framerate (when using hamdir`s graphic mod) and there is also a noticeable improvement in framerate for games such as nfs most wanted and dark knight rises, but those are only my personal experiences, yours may differ.
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Damn I was putting of rooting but it will improve performance dramatically in some areas. I will wait till HTC have finished with the jelly bean 4.1 updates and then I will root. Thanks for your input guys. Anyone got any videos of the performance changes. Namely nfs. What kind of framerates and achieved with boost?
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
Can`t make a video but it runs at almost full speed at all times except when crashing into other vehicles, using nitrous or approaching a road block where it slows down a little, also vice city is running very smoothly on my phone around 40fps+.
[HTC One X] deeznuts:
I'm running a custom WCX rom on my HOX+ device and he makes some tweaks to the stock kernal on JB 4.1. Do i then download and install version 2.1 (custom kernal) for this to work for me or just the JB download? I installed the 2.1 (custom kernal) on my device and not noticing much changes in benchmarks or gaming. Maybe wrong boost app download? Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

If i need to install the jellybean version instead, do i uninstall first the version 2.1 (custom kernal)? If so, how do i uninstall this tweak since i can't the regular way of uninstalling apps? Thanks
[HTC One X] BBs19:
Thanks for the app, it doesn't change a lot on your lastest jb rom though :)
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
Could someone please create a script to permanently decouple the gpu from the cpu? thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
but this wont be enough, also if you do this the gaming boost off mode will renable it

still ive attached them for u
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Just to check...

It's the Renovate Gaming Boost JellyBean Stock Kernel I want if I'm on ARHD 14.2?

Ver 2.1 is for ICS?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes use the JB app and lock your clock to 1400 using the standalone script or setCPU set on boot
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I'll use setCPU and lock the CPU to 1400 on boot. How is that running? Okay? Battery life etc still good and blah.

---EDIT---

Sorry, set to 1400 for the Max or Min?, does it make a difference which Gov is selected when I'm setting it?

Is it a good idea to just use Ondemand Gov and the gaming boost and then run MC4?

Is there still that issue with not letting the screen shut off or it'll reset the values?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no reset for max speed anymore (stick between 1200 and 1500), just leave the max to 1400, min you can't change it will reset

leave ondemand as is and just use the gaming boost to switch between agressiev and battery lover mode
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
Thanks
[HTC One X] xBenHx:
Great app, runs fine on stock firmware on my HOX+, but if I install a custom ROM it won't stay activated. I enable it, then I boot up a game, look to see if it is still enabled and it isn't? I've tried all 3 versions of the app and none of them work. Hasn't worked on Insert Coin or ARHD both stock kernels (I think).

Any help would be appreciated :)
[HTC One X] afhum:
I flashed the one hamdir posted; gaming boost for jelly bean with stock values fixed.

But the app didn't ask for superuser permission and therefore didn't work.

Where did I go wrong? I am using ARHD 17.1.
[HTC One X] elmonen:
Hmm something weird happened.. I have arhd 17.1 and gaming boost jellybean and it has worked great.. since today.. all of a sudden boost has stopped working.. I dont get the freeze anymore when i enable gaming boost.. and in the app it says "sweep to wake only works on supported kernels" or something like that.. what could cause this?

I think it started after i rebooted my phone.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Again the app will break if the stock on demand governor values are changed, which is the case in ARHD Rom the only solution is to correct it using the script or setcpu set on boot stock values

If it suddenly breaks try reboot otherwise might have messed it up like a script or whatever tweak You did
[HTC One X] elmonen:
Well it was time to flash a new rom. Now on renovate and boost is working :)
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
I`m still getting pretty severe lags on my one x+ still mainly on horn and avengers initiative which is odd given that they are tegra optimized, could this be due to the higher clock hence the os tries to scale it down to a lower speed due to heat, etc? are the optimal ondemand values the same for the tegra 3+ as they are for the tegra 3? someone should investigate.... also the values may be different in power save when the max clock is 1.3ghz. Thanks for the great app though really improved gameloft games like asphalt 7, strange how the tegrazone apps still lag.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
horn have some lag in extremely heavily detailed areas otherwise its extremely smooth
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
Ok thanks, however on youtube these games are buttery smooth on the nexus 7 even though cpu is 1.3ghz vs 1.7ghz and ram is lpddr2 vs ddr3 1500mhz not to mention the faster gpu and io speeds.
[HTC One X] daniele610:
Work on maximus 11?
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Yes it does.
[HTC One X] nex86:
does this work on other tegra 3 devices like Acer Iconia A700?
[HTC One X] rafi92:
For those who wants to change the governor values back to stock manually using SetCPU, these are the settings to change to:

Sampling rate: 30000

Up threshold: 90

Sampling down factor: 4

*Crucial step*

Tick the option "Set to boot".

Restart and enjoy the game boost :)
[HTC One X] samarain:
This is for ICS or for JB?

Sent from my awesome HTC One X ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
htc govrenor is the same for both ics and jb and in fact all their devices

proper stock values are:

Sampling rate: 50000

Up threshold: 90

Sampling down factor: 4
[HTC One X] drivenby:
Hello I can't get the app to work in ardh18, I'm hitting enable but it won't even ask for superuser rights -_-

What's the zip for? The one that says stock values
[HTC One X] rafi92:
Supposedly the zip is to flash back the stock governor settings so that you're able to use Gaming Boost but honestly, it doesn't work for me. In my opinion, the best method would be using SetCPU and changing it manually.
[HTC One X] drivenby:
Thanks I already figured it out a while ago. Gaming boost does not work without stock values , I get it
[HTC One X] schidddy:
i tried installing this on my transformer pad infinity which is a tegra 3 device too, but with no luck at all. I would be so happy if this app could me made available for other devices because this pad has also stuttering problems like the OneX had at the beginning. Do we see any chance for this? :)
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
Hi there! Quick question... in a hurry I flashed in recovery the hamdir version with the included fix for custom roms(to reset to stock values) instead of just the apk. Can this cause any problem? I am on pure stock just rooted rom(3.14.401.31).
[HTC One X] drivenby:
I don't see how, it's simply the same values that the stock governor uses. Without them, renovate won't work
[HTC One X] eltoffer:
it is not working on JB stock, i already used both versions but still no luck, we need kernel 3 for JB
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
What you mean by job stock? Right now we only have stock jb kernel that everyone use with this app and only you complain it not working with stock?
[HTC One X] eltoffer:
That's what I meant, stock kernel I think it's not working at least I don't notice any difference

This app is amazing, perfect guys!! Ant extra performance would be amazing but could you add a toggle to the notification bar to quickly activate it, thanks guys :D
[HTC One X] elmonen:
Id like to see this aswell.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Lol is this the first time u try it :D
[HTC One X] desectro:
Hi,

My HOX is Kernel 3.1.10 stock JB

It did not work, as the app crashes when I click enable boost.

Can anyone guide me thru this, would realli like to try this app.

Thanks.
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
How about using the powersave toggle where disabling powersave could enable gaming boost as well because no one needs 6ghz of power all the time.
[HTC One X] drivenby:
Hello i just tried Trips Kernel and while the game DO run slightly better , it turns my phone into the sun -_-. I Reached 50c (battery) in a minute (from 40c) , with ondemand stock values and gaming boost enabled. I also have a Trident Case , which does get the phone a little bit hotter than usual . Still im able to play 2 hours of Zen Pinball in stock kernal+powersave+gaming boost without reaching 50c .

edit : further testing . I rebooted and let it hang for a while , waiting for the phone to sync all etc . Tried playing Beach Buggy Blitz again , this time with stock values and without Renovate Boost..

O_O , it ran flawlessly. A little stuttering , occasionally , but other than that i have never ever seen the game running so well. I reached 50c in like 5 minutes .

I like the performance but im not happy with the temperature , im going back to stock kernel until Undervolting is added or some heat reducing tweaks.... Wish i had one of the cooler running HOXs ;_;
[HTC One X] faisaldante:
ive just tried batman it works more smoother now im so happy lol with the new kernel also i tried modern combat it was already smooth at mode 1 but it seem a lil more smooth now and nfs big improvement for me lol, still gotta try wild blood and a few others also im still using game booster the ondemand saves battery dnt it

hey man u know the interactive values could u make a init.d script for that i put the values in u know just to help others
[HTC One X] shtchalle:
Iv tried nexus 7 values but is was laggy. On-demand worked fine with gaming boost. Script should be awsum. Can't find all parameters in setcpu.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nevermind the missing values and yes stick to ondemand if you find it better
[HTC One X] drivenby:
I was just wondering, what would be the acceptable cpu temperature? (note cpu, not battery) , for gaming.

I have noticed that most true thd games raise the cpu temperature way faster than the battery temperature. I have an alarm to go off when my battery reaches 52c and another one at 50c (just in case).

I have been monitoring cpu temp and it can get pretty high, fast. Playing zenpinball for 20 minutes I reached 82c.

I'm on liquid smooth 2.0, using ncx v13 kernel. Interactive at 1.0ghz (seems to like reverting to 1.2ghz though! It doesn't stick for long..specially with games) and AFAIK got is ocd to 520mghz

So what should be my "I need to quit before my phone dies" cpu temperature?

[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
@Hamdir, Have you managed to try out ViperX JB yet? The modified stock kernel that is recommended on there, I know it works with the Gaming Boost app. However, after disabling it, in SetCPU I see that it goes back to max 1500 instead of 1400 that has been ser on boot (as you've recommended). Would this be an app issue or kernel? (:

[HTC One X] foresttree1:
quick question. What is the difference between the boost v2.1 stock and kernel version?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
As explained use the custom kernel version if ur using a custom kernel, and the normal one for the stock HTC kernel, all this for ICS of course

For JB its only one version

Hello there,

First I'd like to thank you all for making our HOX experience more and more exciting, it's really great !

I am using ARHD 18.1 and the JB version of Game Boost. I have set the governor parameters at HTC stock ones, and locked the max CPU frequency at 1400MHz with SetCPU, and checked "set on boot" for both tabs.

I have played Dead Trigger and GTA3, but without noticing any improvments. Is this because those games run easy on the HOX, or did I miss something ?

i am on arhd 6.1.0 rom with sense

and its not working for me via zip or via pushing into system/app

the app isnt showing
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
Change the permissions to be like the rest of the apps in the app folder.
[HTC One X] b2k811:
No major differences

K so I was able to install it, no hiccups. But I don't see any major improvements. I'm running ViperX rom with Faux's b6 kernel(full). The game I tried was NOVA 3. Without the app it was laggy and with the app it was a bit better but still lags exist at certain points. Plus I'm not able to get full effects of the game, don't know the reason :confused:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
full effects on nova3 needs enabling the 3d menu

as for nova 3 don't expect wonders the game is broken anyway and really depends on how bloated ur Rom is

finally trouble installing you need to manually set permissions

owner: read, write

group: read

others: read

wilkyyyy u clearly have a signature issue man

ill try to lock into it in the morning
[HTC One X] ayhamx360:
just tried what u told me and it worked thanks :)
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Hamdir I still have those issues. I did set it to that what you told me. Will still try and find out what's wrong.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guys ur not finding the app because he renamed it

look for it, its just "gaming boost" now :) so it looks better when placed on the homescreen

no need to set permissions

working for me, if you still don't see the app just head to the /system/app using root explorer, mount and click on the apk and let it install

but the zip file is working ur simply no finding the app in the app drawer

also wilkyyy fixed the bug, it now switches all cores to on-demand if you had it on interactive first

its perfect now, thank you willyyy you the man :D

hav fun

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I just uninstalled rebooted to recovery n flashed it again

its working, just head to the apps and you will find gaming boost

thanks again wilkyyy, I so love the HD icon too

remember guys these values r not good for stock kernels since it will get stuck on single core sometimes, stock kernel needs another value, ill patch in another version for stock kernels tomorrow

for now this for custom kernels, especially the tasty Faux004b6

the gaming guide will get an update tomorrow

good luck
[HTC One X] timlambo:
No bro, still no luck on my side. Tried everything and finding it nowhere. Anyway, going back to viper now. Will also allow me to test that stock base as I'm going to do a fresh install. Will look into it tomorrow. As for now, off to bed and having a good nights rest. The same goes for my hox.:D
[HTC One X] mach0boi:
Just curious, what does the app do? I mean what values does it change when it is enabled? :)
[HTC One X] timlambo:
It changes everything the script did. It will change the max frequency, sampling down factor, sampling rate and the up threshold.

This is just a very very easy method of doing things. Even more people may become aware of this if and when this app reaches the play store.
[HTC One X] mach0boi:
May i know what that script is?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
it does more than what timlambo said

lockout 1500mhz single core step, switch to ondemand on all cores, optimize on-demand gov by applying heavily tested value that maintains stable multicore clocks between 1200 and 1400, switches to deadline scheduler and apply maximum memory minfrees

check the link in my sig or third post of this thread

its a full solution :D

I hope HTC steals it and adds something like this :D
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Yes it does more, just forgot about those. Also hope HTC is watching. They should learn from this. In fact they can learn a lot from xda in general.
[HTC One X] rayford85:
I hope Wilkyyy doesn't mind. But I signed the app with my test sign key. Tested & installed fine. Those of you having trouble please download this & install it from your internal storage.Working 100% for me

Here's the link http://d-h.st/hEM
[HTC One X] mwilky:
All people having issues with no app are you running aosp?

It's built witht he open sense sdk workspace so that could be the problem, will be around in 2 weeks.

Yes running jb. So it is an aosp rom. Or om a few hours it will be , Yes I was running jb:D.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes working now thanks

ok time for you people to give us positive feedback I just tried it on all games

this app is working 100% as planned and the results are massive for those coming from stock or never tried my scripts before

hek I think we should simply call it One X performance switch

the values took tons of testing and really are worth, ill keep testing the scheduler switch if its the best option and if I find better values expect updates :)

this app, faux004b6 and ultra Rosie r now my essentisal one x survival kit! :D

and don't forget die hard patch
[HTC One X] h00py:
Didn't work for me. Refused to install from internal storage and won't work if I copy to system/app and change permissions either.

If anyone needs it I could probably make a flashable zip with the required files when I'm back in front of a computer.

Great work Hamdir and wilkyyyy!

Quick question, if you disable gaming boost the phone returns to stock values?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
returns to stock kernel values and not the ARHD 7.2.x customized one

Again i have to remind this doesnt work well with the stock kernel yet, one value has to be adjusted (sampling down)

if you reboot you restore mike's values

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

i think wilkyyyy is off on his holiday

ill add the solutions posted by h00py and henk2484 to the third post

i think mike should include this in his next ROM and restore the more battery friendly stock values
[HTC One X] GuyAdams:
So using fauxs repacked 004b6 for ARHD when disabling gaming boost, the phone will return to fauxs values?

Thanks mate for your reply, I just want to be clear :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes faux's default values are the stock kernel values

[HTC One X] mr1029x:
Any quick reviews on the heat while playing games using this boost? :D Thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
This post is now deprecated and the app was updated to 2.1 check the details in here

-----------------------------------------------------

HTC One X - Tegra 3

RENOVATE Gaming Boost v1:

- RenovateGamingBoost_v1_signed.apk (install from SD)

- RenovateGamingBoost_v1.zip (install from CWR)

- RenovateGamingBoost_v1+StockScript.zip (install from CWR, use it if the app is not requesting SU or not working)

you will know that the app is working, if it requests SU the first time and takes a second switch to the boost mode

warning! due to HTC code, on many kernels including both stock and older Faux, turning off the screen will reset two vital parameters set by the app so you have to make sure not to turn off the screen between boost and playing a game

this issue was fixed by Faux 005b3 if you are not using this kernel always remember to renable boost mode after screen unlock

If you still have trouble getting this app to work since it doesn't request SU or do anything, check this post

If you like to set the boost mode permanently:

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

How to set the gaming boost mode permanently using SetCPU 3.x for any Kernel

For AOSP 4.0.x ROMs, you will also need this:

RenovateGamingBoost_SenseFramework.zip (for AOSP 4.0.x ROMs, it will add the needed Sense framework system files, flash first followed by the app)

For AOSP 4.1.x ROMs this app is currently not working

thanks to rayford85 and h00py for the installation solutions

Special thanks to timlambo for helping us test and refine the parameters
