Thanks i will try them!!
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
your settings somehow "unlocked" my phones cpu. lol in geekbench I found an increase of performance of 200 points in multicore from 4020 I had before maximum , now nearly 4300 .It is impressive. also if I run 6-7 geekbench in a row there is a decrease everytime ex 4200 4050 3900 3600..... but temperature stays 45 degree.

I will test them more later.

Other than the two of us?
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
Thanks for sharing your results. That's the highest multi core score I've seen on our phones. I never gotten that high of a multi core score. Glad to help. My configuration also tweaked the battery thermal settings so now you should see faster charge times as well. The default charge rates had really conservative thermal settings and the high speed charge would drop after a while but now it will 2.2 to 2.4 amp charge through the whole charge.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Yes indeed i saw a difference in chargin thanks for your effort in the configuration. I am not very fond of benchmarks but i run some in my devices after magor changes (firmware....). This device should have been speedier because of the full hd snapdragon 810 combination. I wonder if we delete the thermal config is the device gonna be speedier? I am waiting for 5.1.1 hoping for smoother rom. Lets hope soneone unlocks the bootloader!!!! I took my precautions disabling MLT lol
[LG G Flex 2] smouker:
My phone gets really hot with those settings

I overwrote the original one ^^ has someone made a backup and can share it with me.? :)
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I guess it depends on what you're doing but I probably wouldn't play any 3d games with those settings. Here's a copy of the original one https://www.dropbox.com/s/yb76q6qwanb9ujr/thermal-engine-8994.conf?dl=0
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
When you apply the settings you need to give time to the phone to 'absorve' them.

Run a couple of benchmarks, test a 4k video, reboot the phone 3-4 times, close it also.

I havent noticed higher tdmperature of 45 celsius.
[LG G Flex 2] smouker:
I noticed that haha now its fine :)
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I'm not sure what would happen if you just deleted the file. Maybe it'll revert to some default, or perhaps it won't thermal throttle at all which would result in auto shut off when it overheats. Probably not worth risking it without a custom recovery in case it doesn't boot.

I have notice that my phone is way quicker now. It was fast before but now it's a beast when I push it hard. Also things like PPSSPP emulator was useless with the default thermal throttling now it can beat my Tegra note 7 with 4 A15 cores at 2.1ghz at it.
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
Was there a problem with your settings? I noticed your settings you had shared on dropbox are no longer available.
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
The folder was deleted for some odd reason. I was able to restore it so the link should work now. Let me know how it works out for you.
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
A few questions about these settings.

-At the top where you have SS-Little_Cluster_management and SS-Big_Cluster_management is the set point the shutdown temp for the entire cluster?

-I think this one is self explanatory by the action listed but towards the middle where CPUx_MONITOR for each core is, is the threshold the temperature at which the entire phone shuts down?

-I'm not sure I am noticing the difference between SS-CPUx and CPU_HOTPLUG_MONITOR. Could you explain these?
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I don't want to assume I know everything about this. Everything I know about the thermal configuration file I learned from seeing others modify the LG G3 thermal config file. I also learned some by experimenting with my G Flex 2.

In my understanding SS-Little_Cluster_management and SS-Big_Cluster_management is the temperature at which the Cluster will thermal throttle when all cores in the cluster are being used at once. From what I've seen anything with "action_type 10000" means thermal throttle. The closest thing I can think off that works like that is how Intel I5 and I7 will limit turbo speed when more than one core is being used. Except in our case this is to prevent higher speeds when it reaches a certain temperature. So lets say your phone is running some heavy multithreaded app now it's going to follow the rules set in Cluster_management. The default Big Cluster temperature is set to start slowing things down when temperature reaches 48C and to not go back to full speed until the temperature drops down to 38C. One thing I find interesting is that at about 48C cluster temperatures was about where the Big cores would drop to a max of 1.5 ghz. So I'm just guessing that this setting may play a big part on the big cores max speed.

[CPUx_MONITOR] seems to shutdown the phone when the core reaches a certain temperature threshold of 120 C and I assume will not allow it to turn back on until it drops below 115C.

[SS-CPUx] on a big core seems to slow the specific core down when it reaches a temperature threshold of 85C and to not allow it to go to full speed until it drops below 55C. However this rule can be overwritten by [CPUx_HOTPLUG_MONITOR] which can shut down a core even if it hasn't reached it's maximum temperature threshold.

[CPUx_HOTPLUG_MONITOR] just tells the specific core to turn off once it reaches the temperature threshold specified. On the default configuration core 4 and 7 are set to turn off when their temperature goes above 50C. After that core 5 turns off at 58C and even core 6 turns off at 61C. At which point only the small cores will remain on.

I hope that helps somewhat.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
If we increase a little bit the "set_point_clr of of ss-cpu0,ss-cpu1,ss-cpu2,ss-cpu4, ss-cpu5,ss-cpu7 instead of 55000 to 65000 and "thresholds_clr" in cpu4,5,7 _hotplug_monitor instead of 45000 to 55000 do you think we will have a problem with heat? I ask you first if you have tested these higher values. Also if we can do the same in ss-little and big-cluster management instead of 42000 50000 and instead of 55000 60000
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
Makes sense, I feel a little more comfortable tweaking these settings now. Thanks.
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
Using a slightly modified version of probaina's setting I'm getting much better CPU performance. Still not as good as some of you guys but at least I get above 1.5 a few times.

I'm not sure the set_point_clr of ss-cpux will matter. If the cores are going into hotplug before they ever get to the set_point of ss-cpux there should be nothing to be cleared.
[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
So hotplug to 65000 ?
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
Hotplug to 65000 should be fine, probaina's settings have CPU6 set at 65000 I believe. Also if the CPUx_MONITOR settings are any indication of how hot this chip can safely get there is still plenty of room to play with.
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
That should be perfectly safe. I currently have my small core and large core clusters all at 65C and it's not running any warmer from what I can tell. From my experience when pushing this device hard is that the GPU will run significantly hotter than the CPU ever will. Even with my aggressive thermal settings when playing a 3d intensive game like Goat Simulator for 10 to 15 minutes I only see like 2 to 3 degrees higher than I did with the default thermal settings. So like 52 to 53C maximum device temperature. If I just run benchmarks non stop I never see anything above 47C. When just using regular apps the most I see is like 39C but usually it's in the mid 30s.

I used to have thermal settings set to 90C on my galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus. They got hot as hell and I used them for years and I never seen any problems. It never affected the longevity of the battery either. I also have a Tegra Note 7 with a modified kernel with overclock and modified thermals. It easily gets to almost 90C cpu temperature all the time when playing games or benchmarking. I don't think it hurts the device much at all.
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
Posted this on the wrong thread.
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I did a side by side run of a G Flex 2 with the default thermal configuration file and one with the modified file. I just ran Geekbench on both devices at the same time with no rest in between. Below are the results and temperatures. I've also attached Trepn frequency graph of both devices. The one with the modified thermal configuration file is on the bottom. Both devices where at 31 C when the test was ran.

On the graph attached it's hard to distinguish which cores are active. Only the large cores are being displayed. On the default configuration Cores 4 and 7 turn off early on, after that cores 5 and 6 keep running until their frequency drops to 391 mhz.

On the modified configuration graph cores 4, 5 and 7 turn off at the same time but well after the original configuration did. After that core 6 seems to maintain almost full speed with no thermal throttling. This single big core with almost no drop in speed can make a big performance improvement once the phone gets warm and yet it doesn't make the device much warmer.

I dont know if you installed the newest update . after one day of testing i can say that indeed the phone is a little bit cooler but i also think the performance is not much better though. Without root we cannot change thermal sertings and cannot disable lg bloat.

The biggest difference to the worse i found it in 3d mark slingshot es 3.1.from 1500 with previous rom and the tweaked settings ,now with 5.1.1 1190 maximum.

Also in geekbench maximum multicore is 4100 until now.my experience with 5.1.1 with my previous phone oneplus one was a big improvement in all sectors included benchmarks.

The biggest difference to the best is in battery for flex2

But it needs further testing
[LG G Flex 2] probaina:
I haven't installed the latest update but AT&T hasn't released it either. I'm not surprised it runs cooler. 5.1.1 runs cooler on my S4 and Galaxy Nexus as well It's just more optimized. I honestly wouldn't want to upgrade to it unless there's a root exploit. So far I haven't experienced any lag issues with the 3GB model so I'm okay waiting.

[LG G Flex 2] kutulu32:
Even if you tweak the settings further you wont find better results. I experimented a lot using different values but at last i reverted them to original (probainas).

As i mentioned in other thread if you want the phone to "maximum limits" use performance profile xposed module.

You are correct. I have achieved a balance between performance and slow heating with the use of Kernel Adiutor

Hi,

Im trying to find any way to disable 2 big cores, anyone know how to do this? In kernel auditor if I disable 2 cores they are turning on again after some time.

If I edit thresholds_clr on cores 6 and 7 or 4 and 5 to for example 15000 or even lower, this will make them allmost allways off (becouse of temp), and make from snap 810 something like snap 808 (2big, 4 small cores)?

It will be something like this:

in cpu-z all cores ale still working so I thing it isnt working as I though.. any other idea how to disable two a57 cores?

You could disable a57 cores by kernel adiutor.

Disabling thermal management disabled cores will not up again.
[LG G Flex 2] gemtin92:
As I said disabling cores in kernel auditor works until u will lunch any other applocation, they will turn on again because of cpu hotpluging as far as I know. So kernel auditor wont help here.

[LG G Flex 2] lallolu:
I know this was not what you asked but have you tried underclocking your A57 cores to 1.5 instead? A57 are powerful cores so reducing the maximum speed may be better than disabling 2 cores.

Phone still lags in Real Racing 3 even with hotplug settings turned very aggressive, and phone's screen gets hot to the touch during gaming. Snapdragon 810 for gaming isn't good at all due to its horribly implemented CPU cores. In everyday usage this phone is faster than my HTC one M8 but in certain gaming scenarios it's slow CPU hurts any performance gains it should have with Adreno 430 GPU.

[LG G Flex 2] twiice:
I just deleted my thermal-engine-8994.conf completely, but left thermal-engine-default.conf there. Lowered CPU speeds a little (1.5&1.2ghz)with kernel audiutor, set gov to ondemand and find its a lot better. Same app has thermal safety settings you can implement as well.

70% brightness, fallout shelter, big base running 15 minutes, CPU at 48° max, no core shutdown.

Same screen brightnes, wifi and VPN running sitting on 37°.

I'm definitely not recommending anything, and havent tested much yet, but I'm happy with the outcome thus far.

The reviews I read of this phone before I bought it said there was some lag, perhaps software related ect, but seems to me to just be the CPU, as soon as cores go offline it crawls...Ramps up and shuts down too fast.

Also when I say lag about Real Racing 3 I mean lag after about 5 minutes after the phone heats up it drops down to 20 fps, it's playable but my HTC M8 plays it better. All this being said I do like this phone in day to day operation, it's usually faster than my M8 and faster wifi hotspot tether speeds, but anything intensive and this thing CHOKES.

[LG G Flex 2] Topogigi:
The best thing to do with this kind of beast is to make it throttle at lower temperatures and raise the hotplug temperature for each CPU in the BIG cluster (cluster1). We don't want the phone to reach high temperatures but we definitely want the cores not to unplug too early when the temperatures reach non-critical level..

I lowered very much the throttling temperature and raised the ones on the hotplug section.

My phone now acts as a REAL octa-core (all the cores are usually active and turn off only when the temperature becomes critical). The phone remains cool after long gaming sessions and the BIG cores remain usually online. The side effect is that you cannot reach high values in benchmarks (in my setup, I reach an average of 60.000 points even if I run the benchmark multiple times in sequence without waiting for the phone to cool down).

If anyone is interested, I can post my personal thermal config....
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
Could u post your here?

Mine is made so that it sets to lowest clock speeds at high temps nd if that gets any higher it will set the cores to offline.

Only the core 6 is set to not downclock even in high temp but at a critical level it shuts off.. Cuz only core 6 doesnt heat up very fast..

So far when heavily gamming there for sometime there is some lag but as gamming goes on it starts to become smoother ... I cud surpass nexus 9 in geekbench 4 but consecutive benchmarks looses 200 to 400 points but single core remains intact..

I also use gov tweak dragonfly which eats alot of battery when heavy use but is generally smoother..
