HTC One X - Tegra 3

RENOVATE Gaming Boost JellyBean v1.0

This version is suitable for most HTC phones including the HTC One X+

Sets supercharger's max memory minfree values (8, 16, 200, 220, 240, 275), when turned off it returns to stock ICS/JB values (32, 40, 28, 56, 64, 80)

Optimizes HTC's ondemand governor to greatly reduce random CPU stalls, turning boost ON will always switch you to ondemand governor with the tweaked values, turning boost OFF will also switch you back to ondemand governor with it's original stock values (this will also help you apply the performance tip below)

Unlinks the GPU from the CPU in 3D mode, that is when gaming if the CPU chooses to drop down, the GPU will keep using the upper clock (3d scaling off)

It will Attempt to set GPU520 for kernels using Franco's GPU interface

Does not attempt to change the scheduler, every kernel has it's own choice of schedulers, you can still set your favorite scheduler outside this app (using scripts or SetCPU)

It will not touch the CPU clocks, on stock JB ROM you can choose between 1300mhz and 1500mhz using the stock powersaver mode, on custom kernels you can still OC (using scripts or SetCPU)

For those who can't get it to work try to use the stock values fix zip from here

This version was optimized for HTC's stock JB OTA and Kernel, checkout the Stock HTC JB Kernel 3.14.x.24 review

PowerSaver mode

With HTC powersaver's CPU mode turned off, the device will use up to 1500mhz single and 1400mhz quad core, sadly for some rare quad enabled games like shadowgun this might cause random performance drops when the game calls the single core 1500 step

Enabling HTC powersaver's CPU mode will lock the device to 1300mhz quad core, effectively its a quad lock but slightly slower with less heat and battery consumption

Experiment with your game to find which mode works best along with game boost

Locking the quad

Simply set the CPU clock to 1400 on boot and it will stick, the powersaver mode will switch between 1300 and 1400, both quad modes without the buggy single core 1500 step

Place the attached 99CPU1400.txt script in etc/init.d folder, remove .txt extension and set all permissions, reboot

If this doesn't work or you are using a kernel without init.d support, simply use SetCPU, change the clock to 1400 and set on boot

Aggressive Performance tip

You can go further if you want to force max possible performance, unlike ICS, JB kernel allows the performance governor to use full quad, so you can enable boost ON and then switch to performance governor using your favorite SetCPU app, with powersaver off the device will use up to 1400mhz quad cores and idle around two cores 1200mhz, with powersaver on it will use up to 1300mhz quad cores and idle around two cores 1200mhz, naturally this tip will cause extra heat and battery drain, once you are done disable game boost and you will switch back to stock ondemand governor

RENOVATE Gaming Boost ICS v2.1:

NCX gaming kernel v4 is the recommended custom kernel (based on pure stock kernel)

Unlinks the GPU from the CPU in 3D mode, that is when gaming if the CPU chooses to drop down, the GPU will keep using the upper clock (3d scaling off)

Set GPU520 for Franco's R20 GPU method

No longer tries to change the scheduler, since every kernel has it's own choice of schedulers, you can still set your fav scheduler outside this app (using scripts or set CPU)

The custom version will not touch the CPU clocks, this way you can OC or UC on supported kernels (using scripts or set CPU) and still use gaming boost, the custom version is best for Franco R20 and Faux 11

The stock version is for both ICS and JB stock kernels, for the ICS kernel like always you need to make sure not to switch off the screen after boost, on JB the values no longer reset on screen off

For those who can't get it to work try to use the stock values fix zip from here

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

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 in most custom kernels like Gaming Kernel, Faux and Franco, if you are not using such custom kernels always remember to renable boost mode after screen unlock

If you like to set the boost mode permanently:

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

For information the One X should last 2.5 hours of non stop gaming on full boost with screen brightness at 20%, it reaches a max of 52c in ambiance of 33c, do not try this while on the charger
