I plan to add one more option to the new version.

When the temperature goes over a certain limit, slow charging is activated even with AC power.

This is controlled by the following file:

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/temp_control

If the value in the file is 0, slow charging is activated with temperature increase.

If the value is 164, slow charging is always disactivated.

This can also be set from the hidden menu. (Module Test/Charging Test)

i am here to report (a sad information :()

when several days ago i thought that when i set to boost mode it will stay on 1400MHz forever, now it is not...

i don't know exactly what triggers this case, but sometimes it stays on 1000MHz when boost mode is ON (and of course governor = Performance) :(

it happened when the temperature is not even near 40 C

and some things i would like to see:

1. higher GPU clock ;)

2. other cpu governor options (?)

3. the ability to select our own CPU clock speed (like the one on no-frills cpu)

so, instead of booster, this application will also work as a battery saver.. because i already tried no-frills cpu, and i really like what it did to my battery (when not playing games) ! :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
When boost is off, the frequency will fluctuate between 475 and 1300 MHz to cool down the device. The sudden drop to 475 MHz will make your game or home screen lag.

When boost is on, the frequency will be stabilized somewhere above 1 GHz and this has no noticeable effect on the performance.

Suggestions noted, thanks...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Emmanuel2000:
there is something you guys should know if you want to change your gpu frequency.

it is bound to the cpu and it scales either to save battery or to increase performance.

I'm not sure how high it scales but it goes up to 380mhz from 200mhz or lower.

developer is there a setting in the directory where all the hidden settings are stored? like your overlay setting. I want to change some settings there and apply them on boot. is that possible?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
You can detach the shared bus by using the command I wrote in v1.2.1 release notes so you can set gpu frequency seperately.

For hidden menu settings, you have to decompile lghiddenmenu.apk and have a look at the source code. There is no single directory or location where those settings are stored.

New version (v1.3.0) was released.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Coffei:
Strange, but the thermal threshold is not applied on my phone. I have rooted V20a and when I turn the boost on it starts the scaling the same moment as when the boost is off (before 43°C is reached), I set the threshold to 50°C but seems to have no effect- games just lag after a while. Tested on GTA VC and Booster 1.2.3.

Is it possible the new version fixes this?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
Can you see under "ACTIVE SETTINGS" that "Threshold Temperature" = 50°C after you set Boost on? If not, please grant SU privileges to the application.

I'm developing and testing on v20c Turkey.

When boost is off, frequency fluctuates between 475 MHz and 1300 MHz when temperature is near 43°C until it cools down to a certain level.

When boost is on, frequency is stabilized somewhere between 1 GHz and 1.3 GHz but never drops down to 475 MHz which is the main cause of game lags.

That's the behaviour on my device and firmware.

New version (1.3.0) does nothing extra about throttle temperature.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Coffei:
Hmm.. With boost off the frequency I get is between 1GHz and 1.4GHz never below, or this is what the CPU overlay says. But games lag quite a bit. Can something else cause these lags? 1GHz sounds kinda enough for gaming.

So far I tried GTA VC and GTA III, what do you play and get nice smooth gameplay so that I can test it?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
There is an application called Stability Test on Google Play.

Install it, turn boost off and run the first test with CPU overlay on.

When the temp reaches 43 C, you can see how the frequency drops down to 475 MHz.

Then try it again with boost on with 50 C threshold.

Add 60 degree temperature and 520 mhz gpu clock speed, please. Add other governor and please add other scheduler option.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
Requests noted.

Have you ever tried to overclock the GPU with 520 MHz? Does it work?

60 C is a bit high for threshold temperature. Have your battery temperature ever exceeded 50 C?

What do you mean by "other scheduler option"?

Sent from my LG-P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Subhajitdas298:
60 needed.

Used custom kernel and tegra overclock, upto 600 mhz works.

We have 'noop' only. I heard io scheduler is better.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
520MHz is AFAIK not possible on stock.

govs are inside the kernel, not in an app. (except the app ships a kernel module with it and insmod's it at boot)

same for I/O schedulers, inside the kernel ;)

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

which custom kernel has noop only?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Subhajitdas298:
I am talking about stock here. I tried tegra overclock. It can overclock more than 416 mhz. Some apps also let users instal io scheduler and change governor in stock kernel.

By the way, this app works like a charm.

Waiting for v2.0 with my requested features.

Some test with some games

Hi.

I used this tool and made a small comparison: How the game runs with and without boost. Results are here...

Current facts:

Stock LG JB ROM 4.1.2

262-00 (ADEUWH)

Locked (unlock in plans)

All apps closed, only FPS meter and Boost app running in the background.

The best available graphics

BOOST = 416 (very heavy gaming) + 50 oC

First screen - without the boost, second - with boost.

NFS Most Wanted (1.0.46 Maximum Graphics):

GTA Vice City (1.0.3):

Conclusion: As you can see, no all the cores ON, but actually in NFS:MW it looks like the 4 cores are up, when actually racing (screen taken few seconds after finish line). BUT in GTA VC only 2 cores max in both modes...

More games to follow...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
520 MHz makes the phone freeze on stock kernel.

Sorry.:crying:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] iceddeath:
is there any way we can lock the CPU freq to 1400-1500MHz... because the game i played (LINE Wind Runner), get a lot of lags when played at 1000MHz or less...

and this application when set to boost mode and performance governor, after some time, will lock itself to 1000MHz... and it will be very laggy for Wind Runner..

and the battery temperature was not even near 40C!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Subhajitdas298:
Sure? Try the options on tegra overclock.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I tried with Tegra Overclock v1.5.1 on stock firmware and kernel.

When I try to set the freq. to 520 MHz, it's set to 200 MHz.

I had a look at the source code and found why it behaves like that.

If you try to set a frequency higher than 416 MHz, it checks the following value and if the value you demand is higher than this, it does not perform the action.

/sys/kernel/debug/clock/3d/max

For stock kernel, max is 416 MHz.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
If somebody can tell how it can be done with No-Frills CPU or Tegra Overclock, I can mimmick the same in LGP880 Booster.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I added a line to the ACTIVE SETTINGS part to display the CPU temperature and performed some tests.

When the CPU temperature approaches 60 °C, the CPU frequency is dropped to 1.3 GHz.

When it approaches 70 °C, it is dropped to 1.2 GHz.

So temp_throttle_skin is not the only parameter which causes frequency drop.

Does anyone know where these settings are stored?

v1.4.0

"ondemand" CPU governor option was added to preferences.

Current CPU temperature is displayed under "Temperatures" section.

Minor user interface changes.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
New version (v1.5.0) was released.

Release Notes

v1.5.0

"Keep Brightness" switch was added. Now you can keep brightness at the level you want regardless of phone temperature.

Note: This function requires that "Brightness Service" keeps running. If you kill the service with a task killer application, brightness will not be kept.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
"Keep Brightness" function does not work properly for high temperature conditions.

Although brightness seems to stay at the level you specify in the notification tray, it is actually decreased when temperature rises.

This side effect occurs only when you play games for a long time with high temperature levels.

Please follow the new versions of "Tegra Overclock" application for a proper way of avoiding LCD brightness cutter.

Although its not meant to be used like that, but can this be used to save battery?

I'm not sure between interactive and ondemand which is more battery friendly but I chose.

And I clocked my GPU at 200 only. So even on a lot of things (not sure if related but I tick force GPU render in development).

Not sure this way will save battery though. But can it be used this way?

you hit tegra skin throttle (battery temperature) so you get throttled down. for me, changing skin throttle file value didn't help; so now i'm running werewolf kernel which completely removed skin throttle, and it only throttles down when your cpu hits 75 celsius (or whatever you put it to)

There is no throttle at high battery temperatures on WW007 Kernel. There is nothing you have to change...

Well I can mention some things that in my opinion would fit like a glove in your app, making it like a "easy and userfriendly mod" alternative to trickster.

So here it comes:

-Enable Fast-charge if kernel supports it

-Cpu Frequency Tab Min/max values

-I/O governor Tab

And that's a start :P

Thanks for the App. Worked great for a while, however I seem to have encountered a strange bug with it just recently. When I activate Boost mode in the app now, it seems to make my whole systems UI slow right down to a crawl. Bringing up apps etc you can actually see the windowbeing expanded and brought to the foreground, whereas normally the animation is completely smooth and fluid. It seems to now slow my phone down as well, when I try and run a 3d mark it actually causes the App to timeout when trying to start a benchmark.

The strange thing is that for a while I didn't have any of these issues, and the app made my phone a lot faster in games, it was getting almost a double score in 3d mark with Boost active.

I haven't tried clearing cache or reinstalling yet, I'm hoping that will solve it. Has anyone else encountered this issue with it though?

EDIT:

OK strange new development. I cleared the app data, and uninstalled the app, then re-installed. After re-installing it, I now get the error "could not read temp throttle skin" when I load up the application, and after I click "OK" the app closes.
