i really hope this means my "theory" was right

3d scaling off although it doesn't show benefits on initial tests, should decouple the GPU from the CPU and result in better gaming in low clocks whether due to heat, normal governor scaling or forced UC

if more users can report it will be good to confirm our findings

which gives me an idea, i'll try to downclock on franco and see the difference between scaling on and off

i will continue this discussion in the gaming thread

I just download it and install and it will work with HTC one maximys 4.2 (JB sense) with the stock kernel?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes just use the stock version for the stock kernel
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Yes.. just install the stock one.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nope it should work, just use the custom version
[HTC One X] mwilky:
Wont work on aosp roms as it uses sense framework :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
except if its an ICS aosp with sense framework flashed :)
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Will there ever be a Gaming Boost App produced for the Nexus 7? :)

If I was clever enough and knew how to do it (with your permission) I'd attempt it myself, but I'm not that great...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no need for the nexus 7

in terms of CPU, Google's interactive governor is clever enough on its own and unlike HTC's interactive governor it doesn't fail in quad apps

however the stock kernel is very slow for games, the GPU is capped and can't even run beach buggy at 30fps in the default reduced resolution mode

you will need Faux kernel ;) which has the multicore gaming fix and GPU520 just like his hox kernel, i imagine a lot of other good kernels too like Franco

This is how it is on my Nexus 7 simply using faux kernel mainline (1400ghz quad)

also changing kernels on the Nexus 7 is a simple as flashing a zip file from recovery

[HTC One X] hamdir:
Just a heads up everyone Gaming boost 2.1 is still compatible with Franco r21, it will set GPU520 correctly and will go back to GPU416 when switched OFF
[HTC One X] mwilky:
Thought we had to update again then :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no it still takes the first value out of the array :laugh:

you got lucky

Does this work on asus tf300t? Its android 4.1
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Nope.. it need sense framework to work.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
This is amazing! HORN is completely smooth!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no this for HTC's ondermand governor

Asus uses google's interactive governor and they already provide performance profiles which is what this app actually does

you can still set min frees using many other apps or scripts like supercharger and in terms of GPU OC check custom kernels in your forum
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Anyone noticed sometimes 'gaming boost enable/disable' will change to 'sweep to wake ......' and need to reboot to make it work. Sometimes need reboot twice.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes if you change the governor values yourself its breaks or if the default values are changed in a custom rom, if the custom rom is to blame simply install the script version and it will be fixed
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
No hamdir.. I don't change any governor setting.. I just listening to music with stock ROM.. and when I want to play game.. I noticed this problem.. it happen twice this day.. I don't what have I've done wrong.. not a big issue just I'm a type that too lazy to reboot my phone :p

best gaming kernel for use with stock 2.17 ROMs and gaming boost 2.1:

NCX gaming kernel v4 - boosted pure stock 2.17 kernel for gaming aka. battery may cry
[HTC One X] gorle:
Gaming Boost can't be used on stock 4.1 OTA, looks like HTC's new kernel does not let us to change the governor's settings, and in Gaming Boost app doens't ask for root permission, clicking on Use Gaming Boost App doesn't change anything.

But 4.1 OTA seems made for gaming, games like Zombiewood and Wild Blood run smooth with all effects
[HTC One X] hamdir:
are you sure maybe the problem is just not requesting SU, uninstall and re-install 2.1 as an apk

we tested it on earlier JB leaks and it was working

ive heard about the improved gaming on the latest 4.1 OTA sadly im on Asian CID so i can't test it, but looking forward to boost it even further ;)
[HTC One X] gorle:
Sorry but I can't figured it out. Installed from recovery, pushed apk in system/apps giving right permisions, installing as normal apk, both stock and custom kernel versions, but when I open it, it doesn't ask for root perms, clicking the button doesn't change anything as well.

That's weird... Can you give me the values Gaming Boost App changes in the Ondemand governor, so I can set the manually in SetCPU (if it's possible of course)

Thanks, love your work, dont know what I would have done to make my games running better :laugh:
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
try with wping cache or delete cache in settings/apps and then the app

and be sure that all from the apk is removed also the data in android and re-install it it might help :P
[HTC One X] timlambo:
I am also on jb, and what worked for me was to only flash the .zip file for stock kernel(v2.1). I didn't try and install it through the normal method. I can suggest to delete app data, and uninstall the app. Then flash the above mentioned zip, and all should be good to go...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Values

sampling rate 30000

Sampling down factor 10

Up threshold 50

But it also sets minfrees to supercharger`s 1000hp values

can others confirm if the boot working on the job ota ?
[HTC One X] mwilky:
It works fine mate, he must be using a rom with tweaked values or something.

Sent from my RENOVATED One X..
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
Actually I have the same problem..I just updated to the latest Renovate ROM (ICS), and then when I try to switch it on,

the app doesn't request for superuser access...nothing happened..I tried almost eveything..wipe cache, reinstall app..

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

+100

This is what I want to tell..:p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guysssssssssss we explained this a million time and its all their in the second post by the way

if a ROM or kernel has different stock values for the ondemand governor the app will break you will either have to repack or use the script in the 2nd post to restore your stock ondemand

stock values should be

sampling rate 50000

up threshold 90

sampling down factor 4

if any of the above are changed by the Ram disk defaults the app will simply break

you can use the zip files from here to flash the app with the fixing script

or you can manually place the script yourself from this post

we use the app to boost them to

sampling rate 30000

up threshold 50

sampling down factor 10

as well as minfrees
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
Yo ma man hamdir..I have tried your way..I flashed that Gaming Boost App + Stock Values..

I also wiped my cache and Dalvik cache..when I finished reboot, and tick the app, still nothing happened..
[HTC One X] mwilky:
Is your superuser working with other apps?

If it is using a root explorer, go to system/etc/post-boot.sh, open it witha text editor and delete all the commands related to ondemand. Save it, reboot and run the app again.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
this should sound obvious but did you go to superuser app and check if the gaming boost app got SU approved?

also like mwilky said triple check the stock values, reboot and without using gaming boost, immediatly go to SetCPU ondermand governor settings and report the values

let see if you have the stock values broken
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
I'll try your suggestion now..

EDIT : Nothing worked until I used SetCPU and I set the values myself..lol..

@wilky I go to that directory, but no such command was found..

@hamdir & wilky, where can I set the values from System Tuner? (Because I prefer it over SetCPU)

By the way in SetCPU, I can't adjust max and min MHz values..I don't know why..
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
it can be the fact that your superSu app isn't working right...try to install it new or so and try then...sometimes it can be broken ...
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
Nope..my SuperSU working perfect..the 'problem' that I have solved as I mentioned before was the values..

I set it to stock using SetCPU, and then wal-lah, Gaming Boost app working again..

Hi, i just bought a HTC One X+ and was wondering how to install this tweak on such device. Which one do i install in order to maintain the increased clockspeed of the X+? thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
use the custom version instead of stock,

the only difference between custom and stock:

stock locks to 1400, while custom does not

Gaming recommendation for the JB Renovate gaming boost:

Use it along the power saver CPU mode, yup you heard this correctly!

The powersaver mode will lock the quad core to 1300mhz effectively bypassing our famous 1500mhz single core problem, it will also reduce heat during games and the chance of CPU throttling down to 1200mhz

In other words you only loose 100 mhz from the quad, which has almost zero effects on gaming with gaming boost ON, GL benchmark results remain unaffected, you will gain insure quad core usage, more speed and less heat

For more info check the Stock HTC JB Kernel 3.14.707.24 - CPU review
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I installed Apex and the Power Saver option seems to have disappeared from my notification bar. Returning to Sense doesn't bring it back up again >.< I can't find a way to re-enable it ):

EDIT 1 : I found it in the Power settings :)
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
will this work on the one x+ or does the one x+ not need it?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
the JB version works for One X+ perfectly :good:

we removed the CPU limit so now this app is compatible most HTC devices and their stock ondemand governor values ;)

More details about 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)

I've attached the stock script version for those who might face issues with custom ROMs like ARHD, if the app doesn't pause when enabling boost or never asks for root you will need to flash this file

If you like to install the app without recovery just unpack the apk and install it

This version was optimized for HTC's stock JB OTA and Kernel, check 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
[HTC One X] -viper-:
Just To inform u how amazed i am. When i was ICS, i used custom faux and Gaming Boost... I couldnt play while in charge due To extremelly overheat. With Boost enabled and from full baterry i played about 2 hours With a break at 1hour due To overheat.

Now....

Renovated JellyBean With the latest Boost app enabled + PowerSave i started playing With baterry 87%..*IN CHARGE* for first time... And the results? 1hour non stop Shadowgun Deadzone, Who all know what a heavy multicore game is, and core temp was To 55 (ics got 97 in a 20min play) and my Phone charge To 93%....One word

A M A Z I N G.

Now we can play non stop hardcore games for hours.

[HTC One X] hamdir:
im glad you guys are liking the idea of boost + powersave :)

still it might cause bad performance in certain games, for example the famous damned nova 3 lags with boost + powersave more than boost + performance + powersave

still its a ****ty game to begin with and not a good one to judge

the best way is to always experiment the two modes with your current game and decide which is best, if there is no obvious loss in speed definitely stick to powersave + boost

also one more request please rate this thread 5 stars always and use the thanks button a little more ;)

more speed is definitely on the way once we have the kernel source and can compile a gaming JB kernel ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well well the the CPU clock can stick on the stock JB kernel and hence we solved quad lock outside the powersaver mode :)
[HTC One X] VertigoOneX:
Is it normal that I'm not getting a SU-permission popup? I used to get it with the ICS versions but now with ARHD15 and this app not and I'm not sure if settings are being applied.
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Need to change all the value back to stock in arhd.. mike have mod it..

SO I guess it doesn't work with ARHD15 or 16. Strange thing is the ICS gaming app did work with the ICS ARHD versions.
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Go to hamdir gaming thread and use stock revert script for arhd there.. it will work..
[HTC One X] VertigoOneX:
Thank you. I'm installing right now ARHD 16 and going to test the version with the stock values fix. What's the best free app to see if CPU speeds are set as they should be?

Don't need any.. just try open gaming boost.. if gaming boost are functional well.. then you should know what it mean by that.. :)
[HTC One X] VertigoOneX:
I installed GB yesterday and tested it a few times. After 5 reboots I got the superuser popup, granted permission and everytime I enabled or disabled boost the granted permission popup appeared at the bottom. Then I restarted my HOX, just to be sure everything is working and all the popups disappeared, also the small lagg when enabling or disabling was gone. I have to reboot my HOX a few times until the SU-permission popups reappear which is telling me it's working again.

It says that it installed everything fine in recovery. I saw no errors what so ever.

I just looked and saw it is showing up when I look under /system/app. But when I want to install it there it says couldn't install app. It is also not showing in my app drawer.

You dont need to install it form there its installed, its under "Gaming Boost" in the app drawer.

ver on or off btw.
[HTC One X] timlambo:
To see if it works, you should check with an app like setcpu, what your values are for ondemand. They are supposed to be something like sampling rate(30 000) up_threshold(50) and sampling down factor(10). Some games might still stutter, but this is to reduce most of the occasional stutters. Some games remain bad
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
ok thanks, its just that some games even with boost seem to lag more than on the nexus 7 which is odd given the substantial spec difference, faster gpu, cpu, ram, io, etc.

Both devices have the same amount of ram and both devices have gpu overclock. All is in the governor, and that HTC is not worried about performance. It is slightly improving, but still needs a lot of work. As can be seen with kholk kernel, which is one of the best kernels for gaming.
