So far for me no hotter than before, just played 20 mins of S4EP1 whilst on charge and didn't get the usual overheat protection signal. More testing later, now is time for work :s
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the only source of extra heat would be the extra GPU speed on faux004b6

Don't forget customs kernels are based on 1.28 source and lack what ever reduced heat on 2.05

the script doesn't OC or anything just prevents the governor from dropping clocks during gaming unless its under 50% load (as well as few other tweaks), in fact we are UC we are locking out the 1500mhz single core step to prevent games from using it and lag :D
[HTC One X] GuyAdams:
Right this is serious guys, you have done an awesome job with this, the difference between enable / disabled is outstanding.

Even with 004b6 running at the unlocked GPU clock speed, N.O.V.A 3 lags and stutters, with gaming boost enabled its silky smooth, like seriously smooth and my One X hasn't been any hotter than playing with the stock kernel whilst boost enabled.

Well done hamdir and wilkyyyy :thumbup:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
took lots of sweat and blood my friend :cool:

unbelievable HTC crippled the HOX with their CPU defaults, they should provide performance profiles out of box, a gaming device to begin with!

the transformer prime has it, the galaxy s3 has it and heck the sensation XL too....

It was supposedly the job of the famous removed "useless" NvCPLSvc.apk

you simply can not run such a thermal heavy quad beast with 500+ mhz GPU with one and single CPU profile!

Samsung has their own heavily tweaked CPU governor with tons of variables and conditions, plus a power save trigger

they are basically handing victory to SGS3 on a golden plate...and believe me the s3 is no where near as good as the HOX (overall)

HTC will always fall victim of over simplification when it comes to performance

judging by their blogs and facebook posts, HTC "teams" are never performance savvy, lifestyle experts maybe, but performance they can't tell the difference!

patched Gaming Boost for stock 2.05 kernel coming up :)
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
so it is set that 004b6 offer better gaming AND battery life than 003b11? im still oj 003b11 as i find the battery life realy is superb
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you can use the app with 003b11

try and decide for yourself which is better

004b6 has faster GPU

Patched app for stock kernel 2.05.401.2
[HTC One X] GuyAdams:
Will these various versions be eventually rolled into one app?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
we need to wait for wilkyyy to come back from his holidays mate but the most likely answer is yes

the situation is unique to kernel 2.05, stock kernel 1.29 did allows us to lock the clocks so i'm hoping by the next OTA we won't actually need separate values

and don't get too excited this is the best we can do out of stock kernel, but silly games like temple run can still lag badly despite our effort

Gaming Boost + Faxu004b6 = Monstrosity so stick to it :D
[HTC One X] GuyAdams:
I'm running 004b6 (despite what my sig says ;)). After I saw you post about Gaming Boost this morning had to give it a whirl, as I've said, so far I'm mightly impressed.

I don't even game that often, just wanted to see the difference :)

Really nice work! A widget for activating the boost mode would be nice for the next release :D

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] timlambo:
It will be, but I have an idea that an active widget is actually using ram. I had a uccw widget and it used about 10-15mb of ram. Not much but we need everything we can get.
[HTC One X] emmaair:
Hm.. Okay than its not good ;D but if user could choose between a widget and a non-widget app ? :D
[HTC One X] timlambo:
I think in the end it will have everything. Becuase if the app is there, it can just as well have a widget. Then people can use it like they want. Like any other app, and just put a widget on the homescreen.

In the end, this app needs to be functional and small. Its already both and will improve.

[HTC One X] kryptoner:
same here, I don't know if its working or not as it never requests super user permissions
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yup checked supersu as well but it's not mentioned there..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
should request Su when u press boost

try the apks I posted in the third post
[HTC One X] hamdir:
testing the stock Kernel version with 2.05 kernel

I have to say its working fine but in frame rate depraved areas you will notice it more but otherwise I find it really good we lose some frames n gain much cooler operation and massively better UI smoothness
[HTC One X] hamdir:
just a tip for fans of the stock 2.05 kernel, you can use the custom kernel gaming boost app which gives better speed, just make sure not to turn off the screen after enabling the boost mode (turning off the screen will restore the 1500mhz single core step and cause lag)

so before you game, always turn on boost, the 1400 multicore step will stick until you turn off the screen

otherwise if you can't be bothered stick to the stock kernel version

stopped using supersu

The app has stopped using supersu for me..

Therefore I think it's not working anymore.

It worked without problems yesterday, today it is not asking for supersu or giving me the prompt it is using supersu.

After removing from supersu it is not asking permission again.

Reinstalled the apk Hamdir posted for faux b6 (although I am running b7 atm)

Any clue how to get it working again?

Thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
it asks for SU only once

you know its working when the boost trigger pauses for a 1 second to make the changes
[HTC One X] flummi3000:
Hey, im using v6 supercharger script. All working fine but when i activate gaming boost, play a game and then after playing i deactivate it. Running supercharger script again it says that its only 50% supercharged. Im using hamdirs advice, nr.7 in script. How come?

Thx! :)

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X
[HTC One X] p50kombi:
It doesn't do that anymore.

Also, sauperuser will always give you a prompt stating the app has superuser clearance, this is not happening anymore.

It looks like it just stopped working.

Edit: After reboot still no go.

I also can't uninstall as it is a system app, only disable.

I'll try to uninstall with system tuner to see if that helps, but the app defenitely has stopped working for me.

Nothing changed since yesterday so it's really strange...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
uninstall reboot and reinstall

sorry guys not much we can do without wilkyyy around
[HTC One X] p50kombi:
Uninstalled and rebooted..

[HTC One X] p50kombi:
I'm using your custom kernel version.

Tried the apk first, then tried the CWM zip.

Both your versions, both no go for whatever reason...

All was working perfectly ok yesterday..and nothing has changed today...maybe a process got stuck somewhere.......

for now you can go back to my scripts from the gaming thread :)

Do i have to run supercharger script again after gaming boost app? It says its only 50% supercharged after using gaming boost.

Thx!

i think all we need is the DieHard or HardTokill patch, the scripts/gaming boost are already calling the mem frees
[HTC One X] p50kombi:
Got it working again...

It almost looked like one of the scripts was locked..

After running Hamdir's manual script in gscript I noticed the boasting app was showing a green mark in the activated section.

Tried unticking it and guess what, supersu popped up..

So if it's not working for you, try running Hamdir's script to unlock the app again..

All working fine now..

Very strange indeed...just seemed to hang somewhere..

Thanks everyone for the help..

Hope this helps others who don't get the app to work correctly

could u make a UI/Temp switch in the app so after u are done playing with the game boost on just klick on ui/temo to get lower temps and higher ui?? Thanks masters
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok new info about the boost app

those who are having trouble with this app where it doesn't work or stop working, it has to do with the defaults, if your default values changes outside the app (like using my scripts or setcpu) the app will stopping work

ok and regarding the two versions

i will pull the stock 2.05 version simply because i discovered both custom and stock kernels are behaving the same, so two the seperate apps are not needed

if you turn off the screen and turn it back some of the parameters will reset!

on both stock and faux kernel, you need to enable the boost mode before you play the game, don't turn off the screen inbetween or you will loose some of the speed
[HTC One X] hamdir:
pulled out the stock kernel version

now this app is universal (nothing changed its just the custom version for all)

BUT A WARNING FOR ALL KENRELS

warning! due to HTC code, on many kernels including both stock and 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, if you do turn the screen off re-toggle the boost mode

This is because HTC's code will always call back 1500 single core step and sampling down values upon turning screen on, i think its an issue with stock ROMs only

another version with more balanced values is coming up
[HTC One X] danyshotbang:
This would be nice hamdir if u call it All-in-one boost this is just a thing i have in my head and hope u could make it get real :P so first of u have the normal use (low temp high UI-the best values for normal use)

Then u have gaming boost (the one u have now :D)

Then u have a option to UV if the kernel lets u :D

In this way u dont have to download many applications u have all u want in your app if u wanna just have ur phone normaly just tick normal use if u wanna play game boost and if u wanna UV then that too will be there :D Love 4 u Hamdir :good:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no real updates to the app until wikyy is back

im just testing what we have now and i can only adjust the values by hacknig the apk

anything else will have to wait

keep your suggestions on hold until wilkyyy returns
[HTC One X] lonewolf083:
hey guys

the link to the signed apk is not an apk

[HTC One X] danyshotbang:

[HTC One X] hamdir:

when i download it its a .zip
[HTC One X] hamdir:
man the zip is flashable

the .apk is installed normal from sd

i dont get u
[HTC One X] hamdir:
bad news guys

the gaming boost app will stop working if the stock values are changed

so it will not work on faux004b8, both these to kernel have faux trying to optimize the values himself

the only solutions is to set the stock values back manually which makes it all pointless

fauxb004b6, stock kernels and franco are not affected

sorry, guess one of the main issues we have to look at when wilkyyy is back

the app should read the default values of the kernel or rom and restore them instead of the fixed stock values

[HTC One X] hamdir:

[HTC One X] hamdir:
If you have trouble getting this app to work where it never requests SU or do anything

you can also tell its working if takes a second after pressing boost

This is because some ROMs such ARHD 7.2.x has different stock CPU values set on boot which beaks the app

place the attached file in the system/etc/init.d folder, remove the .txt extension and give it full permissions

make sure not to have a conflicting similar script in the same folder

reboot

you can also use the +StockScript pack attached in the second post

For example ARHD 7.2.x has a similar script that should be removed from the init.d for the app to function properly

[HTC One X] hamdir:
How to set the gaming boost mode permanently using SetCPU 3.x for any Kernel

Some users asked me how to make the boost values stick for good

for this you will need SetCPU 3.x

Open Setcpu and go to the Profiles tab, click on the + on the top right

Press the + sign on the far right of Turn this profile on when...

Select Screen Unlocked

Press Next >

Tick Set the CPU speed and select 1400

Tick Set CPU governor and select ondemand

Tick Set the I/O scheduler and select SIO if you have it, if not choose Deadline, otherwise stick to Noop

Press Next > twice

Tick Enable profiles at the bottom left

Go the Governor Tab

Set sampling rate to 30000

Set up threshold to 50

Set sampling down factor to 10

Tick Set with Profiles

This is the only way that i'm aware of to keep the values for good and counter the screen unlock reset issue

As for minfrees, they usually stick so you have to set them once using a script, supercharger, system tuner or the boost app but they will break your multitasking

Finally keep in mind such method will break the Boost app since you have changed the stock values on your own

Stock values that restore the Boost app functionality:

Up threshold to 90

Set sampling down factor to 4

also please i would like request all questions to be asked on this thread and not through PM the idea is for everyone to benefit from these answers

good luck

For those asking about AOSP JB support

Sadly this needs the app to be rewritten without Sense SDK, unless wilkyyy or someone can find a solution

You can still set the boost values on your own using the Setcpu profile method above or the scripts in my gaming guide
