hi 1chris

i am following up on your recommendation for STAR S7589

when i google for STAR S7589 i get lots of hits & i am concerned that this model name may be overused as its quite generic & i may be getting bogus items.

would you be kind to point me to a specific ad that sells the genuine item.

tia
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I have been doing some research and haven't bought the S7589 yet because of it's lacking 1gb ram. So I found the ideal phone for sure it's 5.8" 1280x720, big battery, MTK6589, and 2GB of ram. Ram is very important for gaming and overall performance.

It's the STAR Ativ S i8750 and its great, only down side is I can't find one in the USA yet and don't want to order from China. I may look around for a USA website other than ebay to see if they have it. Still stuck with my N9588 which I really don't like since its way too slow and the power port is messed up. I have to push or set the phone on the cable to charge it since the contact or solder is broken inside. I like STAR in general just not this phone since I can't game on the MTK6577 at all, its only good for web browsing, videos, music, and text/ calls.

So basically the STAR Ativ S i8750 is just a newer sexier better version of the S7589.

I'll let you know when I find more on it and where to buy in the USA.

Thanks :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iluvatrix:
hi 1chris89

thanks for the reply.

STAR Ativ S i8750 is a samsung WP8 phone right?

or do you mean an android cloned version of STAR Ativ S i8750 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Yeah the cloned android star Ativ s i8750 with 2gb of ram. :good:

I really appreciate this app! I used to use SetCPU on my HTC DHD and when I retired it and had my Lenovo P770, that app is making my P770 go haywire and consume a full charge in less than a day.

because of MTK6577 CPU Governor Switcher, my phone can stay alive for 2-3 days of medium to heavy use. It will last 5days for light use.

Thank you very much!

Installed v 18.1 on Lava Iris 501 running Lewa OS 4.1.2 and as soon as service is started this APP makes my phone freezed.

Have to pull out battery to reboot.

Uninstalling...............

will try when this bug is fixed.

Urgent EDIT: How to come out of Un-responsive phone state after boot, I cannot install older version or remove this APP as "low Memory" warning comes and then

phone reboots, again homescreen comes up, and while this app starts, phone becomes unresponsive.

There should atleast a CWM based rescue file for this App. so people who stuck on bootloops etc will be saved from Re-Flashing the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
I`ve made an update for recovery - it`s in start of topic
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iluvatrix:
may i know what is the best settings for using this cpu governor switcher app?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ghpk:
Thanks for this, but haven't tested it as I was able to learn Chinese/Russian :D last night and was able to remove the app instead of re-flashing the ROM.

I found your post on some forum, but didn't worked out.

ADB was dieing when low memory came and wasn't able to remove it from there

Also couldn't locate the file name in /system/app (what name it was actually )

Anyway what worked for me was, removed SD card, which may have decreased the available APP to load on start up, giving me few extra seconds

and then used "moborobo " to uninstall the APP,

Seems last night I had 200+ reboots on this device and was lucky enough to revert it.

Just an suggestion you should also post the previous version which works best with MTK 6577 devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
Such a terrible story :)

1. This is not a system app. So it's folder is data/app/

2. To remove it easily you just can boot into recovery mode and via ADB and any program like qtADB just erase apk from data. Easy, isn't it? :)

Need help for OUR Mediatek SoC

Hi [MENTION=2117836]michfood[/MENTION],

Sorry to hijack buddy but I am trying to get better support for the Mediatek SoC on xda so could you all please help me to help you and show your support Here :o

I am asking that the Mediatek SoC be granted its own section under "Device" instead of us being posted all over the forum. :mad:

Maybe they will listen if we get enough response :fingers-crossed:

My Star N9588 died... no charging anymore even after resolder... know where i can find a new charging board for it?

Otherwise I bought an HTC First... kills the mtk6577 lol way too tiny though 4.3" looks like 3.5" compared to 5.7"...

Next phone will be the Hauwei 6.1" beast i cant freaking wait... I was kind of sick of the mtk6577 it performed pretty terribly even compared to my Atrix which had the same Cortex A9... I feel the engineers that built the mtk's are lacking in a huge way. The mtk6599 is way slower than a stock Note II. The Hauwei should perform great... new cpu NONE MTK 1.5Ghz quad stock 6.1" IPS Li-Poly 4050mah epicness...

Hello, Is it possible to have a tool like that for MTK 6589T Quad Core ?

i really greatfull for for your hard work on mtk 6577 device :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] copyl3ft:
Hi,

Im using MKT6577 v18.0 with hybrid as governor (on default settings/not tweaked), running on a Lewa OS April2013 stable release for Lenovo P770 on a jellybean 4.1.2. I noticed thats its just mostly using the 250 mhz, 1001 mhz and deep sleep. It Rarely (emphasis on rare) the maximum 1209 mhz power and never uses the powers between 250 and 1001.

I thought all along, its maybe with the ROM as its been a while since I had the urge to update my rom. Lewa OS just released the Aug15 stable version so I updated my rom but when I checked, its still running the same way.

Am I missing something? As far as how i understand the description for hybrid governor is that it will use up the 1st core before using the 2nd. That how I want it to run. The only time my cellphone uses the powers between 250 and 1001mhz is when I set it to Userspace Fixed and manually define the voltage/power to use.

Edit: typo errors
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Use the older version. the last one have some bugs.

This is a great tool. from an great DEV.

It now cames pre-instaled on both my roms (with permission and credits), and people just love it.

I was waiting to get my first donation, and give it straight to Mich.... but... no donations so far.

He deserves it :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] copyl3ft:
Indeed, great job with this one! :)

May i know which specific older version? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
I guess 18.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Yeah ^^

Works Greats :highfive::good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] copyl3ft:
v18.0 is what Im using and its a generally working great. The unused power/voltage are just minor... im more of suprised than complaining.

Setcpu has nothing to your app when it comes to Lenovo P770 in my opinion. How can I contribute?

Any news on MT6589(T) Governor? :)

It has almost the same issues like 6577. This switcher helped a lot on my Newman N1, but I sold it a couple of weeks ago, and bought ThL W200 with 6589T SoC.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
have no time yet... and still have only 6589 w/o T :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IcedFlame:
:good:

No hurry :D

I don't think there's anything different except higher clock on T version, so I would be happy to test it on my phone if you start working on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
:laugh: - it has 4 cores unlike 6577 :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] IcedFlame:
I was talking about difference between 6589 and 6589T :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
but I`m about coding new soft )))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
for some reasons I`ve made a new version of software: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2489895

its a little paid, but it should work on 6577 and mtk6589 too, so try it...

where`ll be no many options to work with cores etc. becouse 6589 on hotplug is very kind - so no need to change it.

but where are such options like CPU LOAD monitor and current consumption.

and important: - it is a module for Xposed Framework, but some functions will work without it as usual apk.

and at last - it seems I found a way to avoid phone breeking with 6577 governor switcher on some models - soon I`l make an update
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iluvatrix:
hi there guys

can someone please advise me in the Ondemand Advanced Governor settings what do the numbers in the brackets represent?

eg Up Threshold (95%) what is this 95%?

when its defaulted its 0% so should leave it at 0% or adjust to 95%?

powersave bias?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
please google for this information
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iluvatrix:
hi michfood

i have googled the info & i know what the settings are for

what i dont know is why

sampling rate is 10000uS in brackets

up threshold is 95% in brackets

powersave bias is 0 in brackets

sampling down factor is 1 in brackets

are the above what you feel is the ideal settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
every settings are good if they aren`t bad ))

You have to decide your own which ones are ideal

[MENTION=2117836]michfood[/MENTION] love the app BTW. Any chance of a MT6572 version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nvyaniv:
i just started using it and i can alreadt see the difference..

i can feel it is faster.. but i wanted to know one thing though..

between hybrid and onDemand, which is a better battery saver???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
try both and compare ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
where`ll be no new versions.

since I`ve 6589 - nither cpu nor governors need to be managed - consumption and perfomance are very impressive
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Hybrid

Yeah, Mt6589 already comes with some good governors.

Love the app, still using it on my old Zte v970 ;)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nvyaniv:
any chance you could do a 'CPUStats' app kinda notification bar indicator..??? its easy to read and tell the usage..

I dont wanna run two separate apps for it..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
to have some fun and keep my code with me - I`ve made module for Xposed - it can switches governors and shows cpu frequency and load - I think it can work on all MTK CPUs - MichBox on GooglePlay (about 1$) - sometimes I use ondemand, sometimes hotplug....

Red line - CPU freq

Blue lines - cores activity

Red text - current consumption
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Yeah I bought the app, for my Memo Pad HD7, works flawless ;)

HotPlug is definitely the best Gov for MT6589 based phones/tab

I recommend that app, and its cheap ;)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] locolyric:
Any alternative governor profile switcher apps for mt6577 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] locolyric:
i think i should share some experience on using the mtk 6577 governor switcher with michbox .

I tried setcpu and nofrill cpu to control governor and speed .

Both apps do provide me the option for adjust the speed up to 1.2ghz. But like everyone told before. There is a bug which cause 1 core won't activate after deepsleep.

And i freeze all the setcpu and other governor switcher apps and only use mtk 6577 governor switcher(which is the apps in this thread)

The disadvatage is this apps only allow a maximum of 1ghz governor settings.

I found out there is a tool call michbox and i download it and use the governor control but it fail.

Michfood told me to switch off other switcher and i switch off the mtk6577 switcher. The first time i switch on the control in michbox,by using the monitoring tools. I found out the Hybrid mode using the michbox were superb! it working well, and the cpu clock were only 5xx to 6xx mhz while the monitoring apps open , and i can see the second core is sleep and open when it needed. ( this process were never found in any kind of cpu apps before, )

I try to reboot the phone to see if the setting still persist.

And i lost. These perfect setting are not coming back . I try to switch off the michbox cpu control and use mtk6577 switcher, and i found the hybrid setting were all reset to 0.

The setting wasn't the same anymore. I cannot retrieve back the original setting in the mtk 6577 switcher . Now the hybrid profile were like performance, in the monitoring tools. The speed never drop down.

I try the CPU Master Pro and switch to Hybrid, The profiles works, idle screen on speed is 750mhz ~1.2ghz. But is not the same as previous perfect setting.(which idle speed is 5xx mhz ）

can some one provide the hybrid advance setting for me so i can wake my hybrid setting back again?

(i tried to use setcpu and i can read the hybrid setting were totally different compare with the mtk6577 settings)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] iZLeeP:
I made my on init.d scripts to set governor, i/o, and cpu speed on boot. Only cpu1 is on manual mode which i toggle online via Kernel Tuner since it always goes offline when screen off and not wake up any more automatically.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
a lot of text )))

1. All settings made by MTK6577 governor switcher or MichBox disappear after program uninstallation/deactivation after reboot due to kernel

2. MTK6577 governor switcher do not support 1,2Ghz (6577T) in extended governors settings and visualization

3. If You use MTK6577 governor switcher ONLY as governor switcher - all governor settings goes from kernel (default for your phone) - but my app tries to activate second core after screen unlock.

4. MichBox has no any settings for governors - it can only switch them. But it does not depend on cores number and governors number (or they name). And all governors setting follows from kernel.

With my own experience I decided what there is no any significant difference to use extended settings.

And in most cases - the best performance and powersaving is provided by default kernel governor.

In other cases - it is enough to turn another governor (like "powersave" to save power or "performance" to get speedy)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hafeezluqman:
I tested my phone with and without your app. MicroCpu shown that 2nd core is working with your app installed. Without your app, its sleeping after screen unlock. You have done a great job by making an app for mt6577 specially. I will keep it instead of setcpu. Your app is simple and straight.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
Thanks a lot!

Maybe it`ll be continued with added script to manage frequency depending on CPU load.

So it will be possible to make your own profile, with different preferences for scaling
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Please don't give up on this app

Hi michfood,

Please don't stop the dev on this app :crying:

SetCPU sucks it's way too complicated :eek:

SetCPU Did not not work well on my phone probably because I could not get it configured correctly. :(

Your app is without any doubt the BEST it's so simple to use and it has made a huge difference to my phone's performance and has increased the battery life by days. :victory:

I just have one minor problem with v3 and that is the powersave governor setting will not save after screen goes off.:confused:

When the phone wakes the governor seems to have switched to performance showing 2 cores running at 1001MHz instead of 2 running at 250MHz :confused:

Not a major problem as the phone seems to work well with the ondemand governor set :cool:

I cant say enough good things about your app buddy it's just Awesome :cool:

Thanks. bigrammy :cowboy:

- v4

- Fixed bug with Powersave freq after unlock

- Added SuperPowersave mode - turning OFF 2nd core in powersave mode

- Instead of OndemandFix option - Start on Boot option (no need to start up manually 2nd core - it`ll always work in all governors besides SuperPowersave

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi michfood,

v4 feedback

Sorry to say powersave mode switches to 1001MHz for me even before screen is off most of the time and always after the screen off :confused:

Just thinking aloud michfood but could some of your scrip's have got a little mixed up buddy :o

My reason for thinking this is that the ondemand settings from v1 has a 250MHz setting with both cores working and it sticks even after screen off :confused:

One other thing I have noticed in v4 is that the powersave governor will not always request superuser. All the other governors request superuser every time you switch them :confused:

Linked to power save so I cannot comment :(

:cool: All other governors seem to work just fine buddy :good:

I hope this has been of some help :highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
interesting feedback ))

for me and my JiaYu G3 powersave works fine - keep always 250.

BUT - we have some issues with USB and AC - then the screen ON and cable connected - frequency is regulated as governor says. but after screen OFF - it becomes 1001 due to kernel bug.

so when I connected in powersave to USB, turning scrren off, turning on - I see for 1 second 1001 and after - 250 and while screen on - it stays 250.

and I never saw on unplugged phone in powersave 1001.

BUT !!! there is another reason which may prevent frequency regulation - it`s ****ing wakelocks - I didn`t know about this ugly thing earlier and my sleep was tough... but now... uffff... - in short terms, programs can send request to wake phone up, do they jobs, and HAVE to release this request - and sometimes it never happens, and phone keeps running and running... and may be on 1001 - don`t know...

For example You can find a lot of info by requst "leds wakelock", "charger wakelock", "kernel wakelock", "audioout_1 wakelock", "audioout_2 wakelock" and so on. It depence from your apps, kernel and firmware, android version.

For few days I catch "audioout_2" wakelock which block my phone for hours and prevent deepsleep - it`s gone after volume hardware buttons + or - pressed. I don`t know the reason why. But it`s fact.

You can detect such wakelocks by soft Wakelock Detector, but can`t regulate them. Another way is to write in cmd line:

"adb shell dumpsys power" - and last 2 lines will be active wakelock

ps - and about SU - it asked me once - don`t You forget to mark "Do not ask again" in su?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
A bit beyond michfood :laugh: but I think I understand what you are saying. :o

So we can not just copy over the ondemand governer settings / scrips from the v1 apk to the powersaver governor on the v4 apk in the hope it may resolve the problem on my Zopo zp300+ :confused:

Sorry if it sounds like a total noob question michfood and I am sure you will tell me a million reasons why we cant :laugh:

Mark "Do not ask again" Done that :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
sorry for my poor english - i didnt catch a half you were saying :)

settings can`t be copied. the best way is to unistall old version and install new

there is no scripts in usual sense if you mean that - only program codeв in eclipse - no more

and at last - did you marked up "dont ask again"? it helps with su or not?

well i`ll try to ask collegues from russian forum to test my app on zp300+ )))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hafeezluqman:
Your v3 is working fine. I am using it on Ondemand governor. Good for all purposes.
