There's obviously a slight performance increase since the second core will be online all the time and this does hit battery life, I don't know how much tho.

To OP:

Thanks for this tool. I am on a ROOTED but otherwise stock Verizon version SCH-I535 (the one with the locked bootloader, but we can root), so obviously on stock kernel, but I do have the required file in /system/etc that you mentioned for this to be able to work.

I flashed the main file from recovery, installed, typed su and cpu in terminal, got into program, went to set cpu0 min and cpu1 min freq, both said "current: 1134000, available min: 384000, available settings: .....", I chose 384000 for min, then went back out, exit terminal, came back in, looked at the min freq for both cpu's again, still said 1134000 (so didn't take the change). Looked in /system/xbin, the file start_stop_daemon was not there. Then I went back into recovery, flashed the start_stop_daemon.zip, went back into android, terminal, typed su and cpu, got back into program, did the same thing as above, it seems to remember everything (governor, ondemand profile, etc.) but not frequency settings. Cpu0 and Cpu1 both current min AND max freq are always set at 1134000, not matter what I choose, it says that as current min or max, which makes me wonder, is my phone always running at 1.134GHz at max even without this app? Do you know why these numbers won't stick even without a reboot in the Verizon model? Anyone else on Verizon get this to work?

Also, even though the Governor and OnDemand settings stick while being on, when I reboot, even though I do have the start_stop_daemon file in /system/xbin, it all resets again, for instance I set "userspace" governor on both cpu's, it'll stay while power is on, but upon reboot it shows "OnDemand" again when I look at the current settings.

Am I doing something wrong or missing anything? If the frequencies don't stick, how do I know anything is happening different from my stock settings?

Thank you

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
Thanks for your response. This Verizon-based rom is really pissing me off, it's like it resists everything. I can't get DroidWall (android firewall) to work either, yet when I had the original Sprint-based rom from invisiblek's root method thread, DroidWall worked great and I could block individual apps from accessing data (3G/4G or WiFi). Anyway, I bet this would work on the Sprint-based rooted rom too. I'm going to restore my Nandroid backup and try it on there. If it works, I'm going with that rooted rom, even though it has minor annoying things that are missing. Hope to figure out what is causing this. It's really bothering me that all the other versions can do anything, but ours just doesn't work with anything. So you are using kexec since you're on a custom kernel?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyfoxx:
Like it.

Trying it, right now, I'm liking it a little, Quadrant scores went up, Antutu scores went down by 400 points (from 7677 to 7279), the phone seems snappier and cooler as compared to the values in CPU Master(Pro), I will give it a few days and if the battery life thing is satisfactory with no funny business with performance …then I will like it a lot more; in that, anytime you gain extended use of you phone without taking performance or stability hits you can't loose.

This is a fantastic find ---Cheers to the Developer

To save on future headaches use busybox version 1.19.3 the newer versions do not support start-stop-daemon and a few others that don't apply to this but try to keep it in the back of your head not to update it as it will remove it.

Remember to fix permissions after either flashing the daemon file from the op or by installing 1.19.3 they have to be correct.

Downloaded CPU Spy, but I don't know what I'm looking for to see if the battery saver profile took effect.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
If you wanna know if battery saver is taking effect you need to use your phone for about a day. If you see battery savings then it works. As for cpu spy that's just to check if the cpu frequency you choose got stuck and did not revert back to default.(FYI in battery saver the default frequency is 1134)

I have been running this script for 2 days along with Imoseyon tw kernel and synergy 1.3 and my battery has not been great at all. As i write this my battery has been on for 6 hours and 20mins with 1.5 hours of screen on time and im at 45% when i was running stock kernel with beans r1 rom i was getting 4 hours screen on time and the battery last me 16 hours. I dont know why im not getting the battery life that others are posting on here. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stevew84:
Right now my phone is using 12% of 1134, mainly it's at the lowest of 384 since it's just been sitting. I'll be able to tell for sure. normally at night my phone loses around 10% of battery from stand by time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
It could be kernel or rom related in your case, your options are to mix and match. Try using a different kernel with you current rom if it solves the problem then it was the kernel, if not it could be the rom then.

Loosing 10% in standby over night is normal if you have things syncing and stuff like that.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

This script is just like voltage control, set cpu, nstools it allows you to set cpu frequencies, governors, schedulers etc. The added benefit are the profiles,especially the battery saver one, and that this is accessed using terminal emulator.

IMO its better than set cpu and voltage control.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sidneymac:
I'm not sure if this actually limits the CPU Max freq. I use power saving mode on the phone which already limits it to 1gh which is good enough for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
It limits it to 1.134ghz and does some other cpu related changes that truly conserves battery without hindering performance. Also you can change the cpu frequency and still save I had it to battery saver @ 1.3ghz and got 21+ hrs with 4+ hrs of screen on time.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
Try the daemon zip if settings don't stick. Monitor frequencies with cpu spy.

Forcing the 2nd core to be online all the time is battery consuming, IMO its recommended depending on the task you want to accomplish.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ipaq_101:
This works right after you set the settings in CPU Editor, but it doesn't stick after reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbwray:
trouble sticking solution for me.

Here's what I went through... skip to the bottom to see the solution:

I had read pretty thoroughly this thread, and I still couldn't seem to get things to stick.

I have a rooted LG1 stock system, with some bloatware removed on my own. (i747 hardware) I am using TWRP (latest I believe).

I checked if I had the start_stop script, and didn't so I downloaded both zip files from the OP.

I copied both zips to my sdcard and rebooted into recovery, installed both (at the same time with TWRP), CPU_Editor first.

Rebooted, and ran cpu from the terminal as root.

set the ondemand profile to battery saver, and then looked around a bit. My max cpu (0 and 1) was 1GHz -- which was different that what people were saying they have as default for the on demand (1134Mhz)

That got me curious, so I tried to verify that it was working -- I checked the profile again, it didn't indicate it had one. Some other things were funny, so I read some more. I read about a specific busybox version, and went to see what I had -- somehow didn't have it installed. I figured that was a problem, so I got busybox installer, installed the specific version (1.19.3?) and ran the fix permissions script.

I went back and used cpu_editor in the terminal and saw some differences (screen clearing between menu option picks for example) and figured I had solved it. However, I still couldn't get settings to stick.

So, I re-installed the zip files from recovery, and went through the process again -- to no avail. I re-ran fix permissions due to the re-install, and tried again -- to no avail.

Finally, I was writing this post originally as a question and had a thought -- what if Samsung's power saving mode is keeping things set? I had Samsung's power saving mode on the whole time during this process, so turned it off, and saw immediate results.

So, for some of you that are having problems sticking -- do you have Samsung's power saving mode on?

Lastly a question for the OP if you can -- what exactly are you doing that Samsung's power saving mode isn't. I am interested partly because that mode limited my CPU more than yours (haven't compared battery life yet)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ipaq_101:
No Samsung's power saver is not on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
No, I don't have power saving turned on.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ipaq_101:
I just want these setting to stick, its rather annoying to set the cpu editor on every reboot, not the end of the world, but it would be nice to have it working as intended.

Does it make a difference that I am on T-Mobile?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
It don't matter that you on Tmo.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DudeWatsThat:
Like I said 4.5hrs screen on time.

During idle wifi was always on syncing of multiple accounts and so forth.

If you sleep the recommended 8hrs and your bat is at 96% that's a loss of about 0.5% per hour with wifi on syncing multiple accounts at 1 to 2hr intervals. IMO to see my battery last this long while doing all that background stuff is phenomenal not including the 4.5hrs of heavy use.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
My sister's I9100M came with stock Bell/Virgin GB so this morning I flashed it with Resurrection Remix v2.6.1 and I seem to be missing roughly 1.5GB of internal storage space. Is there a way to get it? When I mount the phone in the computer, there's two partitions on the phone, but the 2nd partition cannot be accessed and says there's 0 bytes of space on it. The ROM itself has a 2GB partition, and the internal storage is given 11.5GB, so there's another 1.5GB or so missing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logan_izer10:
That is normal. I have the same model and same rom and I'm getting the same internal storage space. I would advise just picking up an external sd card if space in an issue. I picked up a 16gig for 15 bucks at bestbuy/future shop. I believe Ice Cream Sandwich just simply takes up more space than Gingerbread with its system files and such. Anyways, to sum up...

1. Yes it's normal.

2. Go buy an external sd. Very affordable.

What version of recover did you use to make the backup? This was an issue with the early interim version (5.8.x.x) which has been resolved with the official release.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
Hi All

13.24GB is normal (16GB formated will around 15.2GB usable, Android OS requires around 2GB) - You can get more space is you flash custom slim line ROM

Nexus 7 has 1GB of RAM - this is not storage, RAM is used to running Applications on Android

I having any similar issue with this too. when i copy a 5GB 720p mkv to Nexus 7 split over 2 x 2.5GB after watching and deleting the files Andriod does not reclaim the free space. A reboot of the Nexus 7 is required for Andriod to see the space again.

Just grab SDrescan app to refresh the media database rather then reboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranim:
I'm having a similar problem with the 8GB version. Had been happily using it and installing a few games, then the other day attempted to install a rather large game (which was a huge play download rather than a smaller one that then downloads game data). It was a 1.3GB download and my device reckoned it had about 1.4GB of space.

The install failed and despite not installing, my device was then reporting only 270MB of space instead of the 1.4GB I had before.

I am now getting a message in the system bar telling me: "Storage space running out", even though the Storage Settings page tells me I've got about 270MB. But this means that certain apps have stopped working (gmail and gtalk), I can't install or update any apps from the play store anymore (I have even tried uninstalling a couple of things but that hasn't helped).

If I adb shell into the device and run df I get:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 487M 32K 487M 4096
/mnt/asec 487M 0K 487M 4096
/mnt/obb 487M 0K 487M 4096
/system 639M 427M 212M 4096
/cache 436M 7M 428M 4096
/data 5G 5G 278M 4096
/storage/sdcard0 5G 5G 278M 4096

So the Android status message seems to be at odds with the actual storage space available. Plus I can't figure out where the extra 1GB+ I had before has gone.

Is there any way to fix this without resorting to a factory reset since I don't fancy having to start again. I wanted to ask google but the "Contact Us" link on their Nexus 7 support page is a bad link.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranim:
See the attachment, it makes no sense.

The bar graph at the top suggests that I have about 25% free space, which is actually what I would expect since there was about 1.4GB free before things went wrong.

The available space listed at the bottom suggests that I only have 4.5% free space.

The messages tell me that I am running out and if I try and install anything it refuses which suggests I have 0% free space.

Is the Nexus 7 incapable of consistent maths?
