Hello All,

Can anyone shed a light on where the path to set GPU governor -yes it's a GraphicPU and not CentralPU- I can set with via terminal?

I hope I can tune the GPU ondemand governor just like the one on the CPU ondemand one. :)

Kind regards,

/chrone

Now that s3 compatibility has been pushed, is it ask too much an option to make presets on voltage mpu? I miss an option to save and load my uv settings everytime i flash a kernel.

I would pay again gladly for such option.

good day all,

have a question, since the 4/1 play update has anyone else had a issue with the settings sticking after reboot?

I restored a backup of the previous version to rectify... I'm on maddoggin's rom & matr1x kernel
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
I tried matr1x two days ago with latest stable tricskter on stock rom with busybox. All worked as intended. Have you tap the check button and set the set on boot?

Hey trickster is awesome, use it for a while now and I also bought it.

I don't know whether someone had asked it.

Can you add a switch, which can activate/deactivate intelli_plug from faux Kernel.

Would be awesome.

Thanks and keep up the good work! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
I will take a look at everything faux's related after the next version is released.

In any case, there's another new beta at https://plus.google.com/u/0/116709542966452959662/posts/Wgu44mjqWw5 that has some new features for franco's kernel.

Why I'm getting this warning ?

҉ Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 4 ҉
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Where did you get my app? It's a mechanism I built into because I have seen our app modified to put more code into (likely virus) on pirate site. Also if you were on the latest stable version on Play Store, the check has an error and might trigger wrongly, use the new beta instead.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] thuanle:
Let's talk a little bit about why we implemented modified app checking mechanism:

By coincidence, we found our app on some pirate sites. Did we sad? No. Actually, it is opposite. Having someone cracked our app is the same as TM being useful & popular enough for them to give us a glance.

Then we got the pirated apk, do a small reverse engineering research for fun. We found the point they used for cheating us. But it is not only that! “Some classes” are also added, some of them are methods for encoding/decoding strings and some that we don’t know because of the obfuscated strings. These can be used to do anything, as you are using a ROOT app, an app that run without any restrictions by Android permission models. Thus it might affect users in a negative ways.

In order to protect our users, we simply show a warning when we detect users running modified apk.

So one should only get our app from these official channels

1/ Our OFFICIAL PlayStore market link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod

2/ Our OFFICIAL AndroidPIT market link:

Hey all. I just bought a Nexus 4 coming from a Galaxy Nexus and I have two questions :

1- Why does trickster request superuser permissions every time I unlock the screen?

2- What does MPdecision do and should I have it on our off?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
1. Didn't have this issue.

2. Mpdecision is qualcomm driver which handles multicore hotplug and cpu freq on input event. It will calculate how many cores should be acticated or deactivated and ramps up cpu freq to 1026mhz on any inout event. A battery drainer due to the ramp up but would drain more if it's turned off using stock kernel since all cores are activated with it disabled. Depends on what kernel are you on, some custom kernel implement their own hotplug driver to mimic mpdecision, thus it would be wise to turn it off as written in each kernel preferred settings.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] FoleyRose:
Thank you. I'm on Matr1x kernel and it is disabled by default, so I guess I should leave it at that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
Yeah, he uses his own tweaked autohotplug. Would conflict with mpdecision. :)

As far as i've known, franco, faux, matr1x, and motley use custom autohotplug.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DirgeExtinction:
So, using faux kernel and I can't set a color preset under "Tools". I feel like I was able to before with a previous Faux kernel, but maybe it was a placebo.

*EDIT* Well, the values are changed under "Screen", but I don't see a difference.

Sent from my Nexus 4 on T-Mobile
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] GFXi0N:
So this can replace the developer's apps for tweaking their kernels?

About time, because I consider them a bit overpriced, specially when you are just fooling around trying to decide which kernel goes best for you.... On the future, after sticking to one of them, I will donate, but by the time, this is my app...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] knitler:
I use it to replace them.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Both matr1x and motley's use thelamus' hotplug implementation, the difference is the latter exposes hotplug settings to user space. franco's uses his own driver and likely faux's, I haven't touched faux's in a while.

As for the root permission every time you turn on your screen is because of the service to keep color settings. To clarify it does not always run and only on screen on, so no harm to your battery. A work around is use SuperSU or koush's superuser and disable notification for Trickster MOD.

faux's kernel needs you to do a power cycle to the screen to take effect last time I try it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mcgyver83:
unlook root stock rom/kernel

Hi all,

I unlocked and root my N4 and installed trickster MOD free.

I want to lower the power consumption of my mobile and I tried:

Governor: powersafe

MPDecision: off

Load at boot: yes

But when I reboot the device I see the notification of "Trickster loaded" but in the cpu info page of the utility I see that my N4 run:

1 sec -> 384Mhz

10min -> 1026Mhz

20 sec -> 1512 Mhz.

I'm expecting that it runs always at the lowest value.Why not?

And what about undervolting with stock rom and kernel with Trickster?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
you should leave mpdecision turned on on stock kernel since with it off all cores break loose, and as for the cpu freq step, you should tick the freq. lock option on trickster mod action flow button (the one with three vertical dots on top right of the app).

unfortunately on stock kernel, what you see is what you get, google really limits us that way.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] trillo69:
Change your kernel, there's not much to do to save battery with stock kernel. Which one it's up to you, all of them are good one way or another.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mcgyver83:
I'm going to flash the Franco kernel, but I can use trickster to undervolt? I don't see any settings for volt.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
stock kernel locks the voltage control by default for safety reason and so on. once you flash and use franco or other custom kernel, it will be opened for you. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kyokeun1234:
Once you flash franco, you'll see under volt control under specifics like this image

Pardon for language not being English
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lowrider262:
I'm having an issue, im not sure if its the kernel or the app. Im using Faux's enhanced stock kernel on mmuzzy rom, and for some reason after a while my frequencies (both cpu & gpu) will randomly change. I usually notice because ill start noticing lag, it seems that the frequencies always go lower. i use ondemamd with my max cpu at 1350 & gpu at 400, and when it changes itself it usually sets the max cpu at 1242 & gpu at 200:confused: i also have set on boot enabled and ive tried with frequency lock both on & off, still happens. any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
It's the mpdecision dictates the cpu and gpu freq. and the cores hotplugging on stock kernel even if it's enhanced. You could try the mainline kernel from faux which uses its intelliplug to replace mpdecision. Might read his first three page of his post there.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lowrider262:
Ok thanks, I knew about mpdecision & hotplugging I just didn't know it would lower the set min/max values by itself, I never noticed it on stock before.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] GNEXc:
I have just installed Faux123 kernel version 12 mainline, coming from Franco and after that Trinity, on my Nexus 4, i am now wondering would Trickster Mod cover most if not all the switches and setup for Faux or do i need to purchase his app, Faux123 Kernel Enhancement app, as well ? sorry for the noob question
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] k3vink3vin:
I haven't tried faux's app, but two noticeable missing switches are intelli_plug (what faux recommends over mpdecision. in faux's app, it is enabled automatically when mpdecision is disabled) and snake charmer.

I enable intelli_plug by adding a one line script in init.d, and disable mpdecision in TM, problem solved.

echo 1 > /sys/module/intelli_plug/parameters/intelli_plug_active
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Spec-Chum:
Hiya, I've just switched to Franco Kernel from Motely ( just trying them all really lol :D ) and I've noticed that Franco uses a different gamma mod for his kernel so I've lost the Colour Profiles from Trickster that came with Motely ( I use PA Brighter :) ) but I do note that there's a zip on the Franco Kernel with the presets available with his app http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40006300&postcount=22920

Is there any way to get this into Trickster? ( I know I could just buy his app, but I'm just kernel hopping at the mo )

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] trillo69:
Bigeyes, is there any chance to get phone's live current usage (mAh)? The same way we can check temp, be able to check mAh input from ac charger would be great to detect faulty ac chargers or battery issues.

On the other hand, can you tell us any sneak peak of what you are working on for futures updates?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
Sorry for asking, will there be stock google gamma preset on franco kernel?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
It already covers a lot and I'm working to cover more of his stuffs. Anyway buying his app is a good way to support him anyway. I've bought a lot of kernel apps to support them.

snake charmer is not missing, if a kernel has that sysfs, the app simply uses it. It's transparent to users.

Sorry only by hand as I don't plan to add support for that file format, which uses hard coded format.

Short term is to add what is missing for faux's kernel.

Unfortunately no, franco's interface is still missing sysfses for some registers that is used in Google stock gamma preset.

Use it for a while, it shows you the current mA (at charging/discharging)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Note to self... update the FAQ with this information :D.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] trillo69:
I did, it's just that I don't see the point of having a widget on screen just for that, there's no need to monitorize current mAh at every moment. And the app is just widget isn't it?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dima901:
Not just a widget, it gives you a lot of information about your battery status.

Just try it out ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Like xxxda, the website is still under construction, so no registration yet.

I believe I have seen other apps that also do this. This feature won't be added into the app, or at least any time soon, because this is a kernel tweaking app at its core. Adding more features that is not related might bloat the app if I do it without consideration.

When I want to have a trickster shortcut on my home, it says application not installed with the last update.

It's a known problem?

N4 - Slim Rom - Trinity Kernel
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] trillo69:
You can take them from public spreadsheet and save them as profiles. That's the point of this update imho.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Well, it's likely an error in your system, not the app. Reason is creating shortcut on home screen is done by the launcher accessing your system for a list of installed apps. If it does not work the blame is somewhere there, not the app itself.

@others regarding profiles: I won't add more, keeping up with them is a PITA and I rather code other stuffs in, e.g. at the moment faux speaker and sound controls are complete, unless there's any bug :D.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] chrone:
+1.

I would like to see the option to faux snakecharmer and soc cpu c state control in trickster mod. :)

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
How many times do I have to repeat myself that SnakeCharmer is already included? Read this changelog http://timos.me/tm/changelog?&#version_115551_20130301 which I just made some amendment to make it clearer. It works silently, I don't think there's a need to disable it.

About c-state stuffs, I'm torn on whether to include it, cause from my knowledge, I'm against adding it. And if you guys annoy me enough to add it, then it will be a donated feature as I don't want it to be use by many anyway. Read more on why below:

If someone already read my comments on Paul's G+ announcement when he first released the app with ability to enable/disable c-states, then one should understand that Paul's had it wrong regarding Android Deep Sleep and SOC c states (also called power states). Even after I pointed it out to him, the fix he did to the original post didn't fix anything as he still keep repeating about "sleep" in his post ( https://plus.google.com/u/0/109078966818501160423/posts/9R8fjQdHDXD ).

c-states is really cpu/soc specific and is tied with the chip enough that dare I say only the engineers who created the chip itself actually know how well they work. The reason some states are disabled is likely because it makes the chip acts funky and might lead to some undesirable side effects like: more power consumption, less performance due to unnecessary state switching, or worst, crash.

If in cases, problems with some c-states are patched and it's alright to use them to actually provide better experience, then kernel dev should enable them by default.

Shortcut for the app is not a problem, it's the 2 app options shortcuts (rescan media ect...) who don't want to work.

N4 - Slim Rom - Semaphore Kernel
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Hum, then it's likely the ROM or because of garbage piled up after many flashs. I've just tested it on the N4 and N7 that I have here, both running stock ROM, former with nova and the latter with stock launcher and everything works fine. As I haven't changed the code for these features for a long time, if it's a problem that only shows up with the latest version, I think it's safe to say that something went gory in your environment. Try to uninstall our app completely then reinstall, if not you might need to do a wipe or try a different ROM.

N4 - Slim Rom - Semaphore Kernel
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Thanks for your info. Some more questions hope you don't mind answering:

- When you with Slim rom, does adding shortcut for other apps work? I don't think any will work as actually every app just follows the same example in Google API Demo, as we did the same.

- Does Set On Boot work ok on Carbon ROM for you? Another user has a weird problem on his phone with Carbon ROM and set on boot, I hope you don't run into the same problem.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Sad56:
Tapatalk shortcuts works, but was here long time ago. So really no idea.

Set on boot works partially for me. Only max and min cpu frequencys don't work (but also with performance settings in the rom, so I think it's a rom problem).

But gpu, governor, i/o, gpu and gamma settings are here and apply after reboot :)

N4 - Slim Rom - Semaphore Kernel
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
I think your min/max frequencies don't stick problem is likely because of mpdecision being on, or if you use faux's kernel it might have changed them by itself. Some user with more experience with faux's might give you a better answer. I think I will try to Slim ROM sometimes, but have you tried report the problem to the ROM devs?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jiujitiancai:
Hi thanks for great app

but I have a problem, I use faux kernel. when I enable eco mode in TM, mpdecision off, I can see all 4 core is online, it's strange. :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigeyes0x0:
Turn off then on your screen, to see if problem goes away. If not ask your kernel dev, why it does that with that configuration.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] giangi88:
Set on boot didn't work for me too... But the problem was the boot delay....after unchecking that option all went fine ;)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jiujitiancai:
Well, thanks for reply ,but turn off then on screen don't help,

I should manually echo 1 > /sys/module/intelli_plug/parameters/intelli_plug_active

but I hope your app will do this automatically
