you got a point there lol. but idk how long the kernel wouldve lasted, if i ended up with a bootloop. in my opinion, there shouldnt be an option (or not let the slider) to be able to overclock to 1.9GHz, but rather let the 1.9GHz be hidden. max should stay at 1.5GHz

Yeah I actually have the kernel from G+ but am very hesitant to flash it. When I first got this device a couple weeks ago I read and read and read until my eyes hurt, then I rested and have been reading every since. I'm only up to like post count 200 and all the early posts were I'm bricked or I have red light of death so OC does scare me.

I've never had a device brick or die due to OC though but I won't be buying a new device for a few years and need this one to last, I bought it off craigslist so no receipt or anything so RMA might be out of the question? I'm not sure how that stuff works I just need to not kill my phone experimenting

How exactly does Turbo Boost work? Does it override normal CPU settings? For example if I set max freq at 1.35, with Snake Charmer enabled, will Turbo Boost ramp the freq up to 1.8GHz when needed?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

No, snake charmer will reign supreme over everything. Google "turbo boost" from Intel it will give you some ideas on how it works.

It's not a full overclocking, you may not even see a performance boost with synthetic benchmarks. It's designed to mainly boost apps with few or no multitasking capabilities.

Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

If I'm understanding correctly Snake Charmer must be disabled for Turbo Boost to work. With Turbo Boost cores will ramp up to 1.8GHz briefly when needed regardless of what freq is set as maximum, as long as Snake Charmer is disabled.

At least this is the behaviour I'm observing with System Tuner, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

What should intellidemand governor settings be with turbo boost?? What should the four frequency settings be set at?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
Since faux references Intel's Turbo Boost as an implementation inspiration, I would say it works the following way:

If you are running only two of the four available cores (eco mode for instance), it scales the max frequency to something over the standard frequency for a short period of time until the load goes away. If more cores are active it doesn't go over the standard max frequency.

The idea behind this is the following: a CPU is designed to have a certain maximum heat generation, which still can be effectively managed. If you use less cores, that leaves the other cores with some additional reserve in that aspect and thus they can generate more heat (which using higher frequencies basically is). Faux already provided the explanation as to why this might provide a better system performance than using more cores.

From my tests, snake chamer on/off is not the limiting factor. Fore me it only scales above the 1.5 GHz if a higher frequency is set as a max clock. I did my tests with eco mode on though.

Backup settings not working

Faux,

It appears that I'm not the only person experiencing this problem after all. While I'm sure there are more important issues for you to attend to, would it be possible for you to look into this when you get a free moment. This started with the most recent updates to FauxClock and FauxDisplay.

Others,

If you could test the backup settings option(s) in FauxClock and/or FauxDisplay, I would greatly appreciate it. Just relocate the existing backup(s) into a folder and attempt to back up your settings using the in app option. Please try and let me know if a new file is actually created.

Thank you.

So are you saying to disable snakecharmer if we want turbo boost to function at OC'd frequencies?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

The FauxClock app rarely remembers set clock frequencies on both CPU and GPU - I'm always having to set then back to wherei want them. Also creating backups doesn't seem to help either.

Additionally, I would say that 6-7 times out of 10 initial openings of FauxClock will cause a force close. Faux display not much better.

I've tried clearing data/cache plus uninstalling and reinstalling etc with no real solution.

Hoping the bugs get worked out soon.

I'm on stock 4.2.2 with latest beta7 04 but these problems have been as far back as i can recall, probably since I purchased the apps.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Michealtbh:
Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

After further observation you're correct. Max freq must be set at 1.8 if you want to use Turbo Boost. System Tuner showed cores spiking to 1.8 but also 0 time in state so it must be a visual bug
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] droidmeup:
Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

Turbo mode works automatically when you open apps which ramp you cpu to max. You dont need to OC to maximum in fauxclock. Leave your OC at safe level i guess.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .A.J.:
Thank you for replying. I know what your talking about, however, I don't experience any force closes and rarely will see the clock speed adjust down to 1.1 ghz. Overall, both apps are very stable and consistent on my device.

What I'm referring to is the in app settings backup option (under MISC tab in FauxClock) declaring the backup is completed but failing to actually create the backup file.

I've had this issue on both apps since the last updates and have unsuccessfully been trying to get anyone to confirm or deny this issue for days. I happen to read the post I quoted above and figured I'd take another crack at seeing if someone would spend a few moments relocating their existing backup, trying to make a new one, and verifying that a new one is actually produced.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] droidmeup:
Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

I believe fauxclock is a real time OC which set your cores to your desire max. If you OC beyond 1.5 then you will burn your battery pretty quickly. Take a look at my setup,

Min-384

Max-1.5

Snake-on

Eco- off

Perfmon, cpu spy and trickster are showing 1.8 spike. So those spike are the turbo mode being used when needed.

So the recommended setting are still the same.

1.3 for battery

1.5 for performance

Above 1.5 are for extreme performance( just be careful when OC above 1.8 i guess as it might damage your device.

No need to change your kernel settings as the turbo mode works automatically. The reason you see why fauxclock has a max 1.8-1.9 is because he needed to enable the max OC for the turbo to work.

This is contradicting my own findings. The only way I can get the system to use the higher frequencies is by setting them with the max slider. All the other switches (mpdecision, snake charmer or eco mode) don't seem to have an effect on the frequency scaling above the 1.5 GHz point for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] droidmeup:
Re: [Kernel] (version 006) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Feb-16]

Yeh, max frequency spends a bit of time before it scales back down. Turbo boost in other hand doesnt spend much time on max freq as it only ramps up like a flash and it scales down straight away. So basicly turbo mode max freq only uses a fraction of a second. Unlike your max cpu which uses a few seconds on that freq.

Turbo boost works independently and automatically and no aditional settings are required. OC has been enabled so that turbo boost could access that max freq. Recommended setting for faux app remain the same. Turbo boost doesnt spend too much time on max freq unlike your actual max cpu that you set. You wouldn't even notice turbo boost max freq is working as spends very little time. Thats idea behind, to open apps quickly and save more battery in doing so. So if you are planning to OC on fauxclock then do it at your own risk.

Hmm I've noticed that I have to drag the slider to 1.944ghz in Fauxclock for it to actually use the turbo boost.

Now that I have, I have 9 seconds of 1.944ghz use in CPUSpy in the last half an hour. Prior to moving the slider up, CPUSpy wasn't reporting anything at 1.944ghz.

I think you need to do this, and it's not really overclocking moving the slider, none of the other frequencies after 1.5ghz are used, and as I said within 30 minutes only 9 seconds at 1.944ghz.

Thank you. I would appreciate others testing this and making sure that they aren't counting pre existing backups.

So there is some likelihood that the backup & restore features are messed up.

On my phone-Stock 4.2.2 ROM, stock kernel- the backup feature simply doesn't create a file despite declaring that it does. No file appears in either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
