Recently is OK. I will add a note about not applying on boot for settings we don't use at a later time.

Just got my hands on a Dragonboard 410c, and I am comparing values from it's kernel with ours, since it's based on the same hardware as our phones. Will post back after a few days, or earlier if when I finish testing.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Looking forward to some exciting stuff, mate! Later! :) and what about the cqf/512? .... leave its 'apply on boot' to off?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Leave it default, hence off.

i've noticed that the phone seems faster with the animations turned on in developer options. anyone thinks the same?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5823053]thomekk91[/MENTION]

I've got animations enabled too, and phone is still smooth, maybe even smoother than without animations. For now this KA configuration works fine, waiting for other tweaks like Wi-Fi, because it's just very sloooooow.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
And why do you think phone seems smoother with animations on? Please, do tell.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

That's what animations exactly do - make impression of smooth, at least it's my own opinion.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Yeah, they make the phone SEEM smoother, but why do you think that is? It's not "just because". I did not recommend to turn them off just to make the phone feel slow on purpose, now did I?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

I just missed word "seems", okay?

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Expressions like "make impression" and "seem" are closer than you think. Purpose of my questions was not to provoke you, but just make you learn something.

Those animations were disabled because they waste cpu cycles & up the frequency for no reason, other than to look "cool & smooth". If that's what you like, then enable them. You won't be wasting my battery.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Tomo already covered my views on animations, but WiFi ??? What do his tweaks have to do with Wi-Fi man? I don't remember him ever mentioning anything even closely related to wifi ... try and find a good network or fix your wifi settings ... test with www.speedof.me and with the app from http://www.speedtest.net/ and see how good your wifi is then. Also, realize that this phone only runs on 2,4 not on 5ghz and as you hopefully know 2.4 is nowadays becoming more and more congested, meaning that there are lots of interferences from all networks around you. See for yourself with various PC and smartphone apps. A smartphone app for that purpose is this one.

Still, i don't see why and how tomo's tweaks have anything to do with WiFi.

[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] - I share your views on having them silly animations off. So far I have not noticed whether or not phone runs better with them or without them but from common sense ... it just makes sense that animations only decrease battery life and (somewhat) performance at the expense of some silly effects. Strange thing was that even before I touched anything in developer options, I had only 1 of the 3 scaling options set to ON, others were already OFF. Now all 3 of them are OFF. I could hit restore defaults and see how defaults REALLY is supposed to look like. Im asking cos it seems to me from [MENTION=5823053]thomekk91[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6093642]kamil79123[/MENTION] that for them it wasn't just 1 out of the 3 options, but all 3 of them, which were set to ON.

And Tomo, shall we put a checkmark in 'Force GPU rendering'? By default there is no checkmark, so it's off. What's better?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
No need to enable "force gpu rendering". Apps that need the gpu already use it.

For wifi, jonathan said it best. I can share a tweak or two to enhance throughput, but it's not my intention to turn this into a wifi optimizing sing-a-long. If your wifi sucks, blame your connection speed, quality or router/modem setup. Nothing is plug&play. Not even sex :D

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] - I just checked out your latest #1 post as of 27 dec. Just 1 question about:

2. Freeze LG Home and use another launcher, if you don't mind losing Double Tap to Wake, or work around that problem with other apps that provide a shortcut to turn the screen off.

Is it a problem if I don't freeze the LG Home? If I leave it unfrozen but not being used does it still cause sticking to 1209? I mean ... I can just be running my alternative launcher and the LG Home one is there doing nothing, being unused, right? Or is it still causing sticking to 1209? If it is then I'll block it as you say, but I'm just a bit reluctant to blocking it, cos doing so leaves me only with (in my case now) Apex launcher. And the problem here is that if or when I mess things up with Apex launcher and want to reinstall it or if it dies on me then I'm left with nothing so there's no launcher for the phone to use. What then? Just a thought... do I make sense?

On that note, people should know that I use this and in launchers such as Nova and Apex in gestures or behaviour the settings allow for a double screen tap to run the said app and basically it does the same thing as the stock LG launcher settings. I think the app runs light. Tomo might have a say on that. The reason why I like double tap to wake is that my power/screen-lock button is starting to glitch. It's starting to require a tougher press and it's at the point where it becomes annoying. Hope that's useful 4 u guys :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Will add a note about not freezing Home or Home Selector, since Android kills it off automatically in case a different launcher is used. Thanks, jonathan.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] BrosseLi:
Okey thanks, it's Flashfire, not Flashify ?

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
No problem, mate. You're welcome. So my guess is that as long as the LG Home launcher is not in use it is not causing the 1209 stick issue, right? And how about 'Home Theme', though? It's yet another entry that pops up after a search for the word 'home' in Titanium Backup. Freeze that too?

And to avoid ppl sending you further questions (and make ur life easier) I'd suggest you to add a small note about Recently ... you've described it well, just mention that they also need to put a check-mark on 'Freeload' as well so as to get access to the 'Launch on boot' option. Also, they need to hit the toggle on the top right corner to actually be able to turn Recently ON :) otherwise it's off, as far as I get the whole concept. :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Nah, I would not bother freezing anything Home related. Who knows how LG linked it into the system... Better to leave it be, or else you face a crapload of logcat errors/warnings. System will kill it off sooner or later.

As for Screen Off app, use this ( latest version ):

xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-screenoff-soft-screen-offrespects-t2993259

It's the best and cleanest one available.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
10x for the info! Oh and yeah, 'EasyHome' is in the list of frozen apps in your #1 post, but I think that's ok. Have had it frozen for a long time and no problems so far this way.

Tomo .. this screen off apps seems light and great. Unlike the one I was using this one has no entries in MyAndroidApps which shows it has no background **** running and slowing down the device. Great indeed... no wakelocks, not background receivers, no extra and unneeded services. GREAT! I feel it will be an add to the #1 post :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
You can freeze Easy Home. It does not cause issues. But keep other Home items unfrozen.

Glad you like that Screen Off app :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
In latest Nova Launcher Prime (not regular, don't have Gestures enabled if I remeber good) you can enable double-tap to turn screen off w/o any other app. Just have rooted device, in Nova Settings - Gestures - Double tap select Screen off, go to home, double tap on screen, select Root not normal, accept Root permission and voila, it works fine (I tested it back in beta bcz I'm beta tester for a long time and Nova Prime user)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Yep, works for me. 10x for the tip. I think my screenshot pretty much summarizes what you explained, no?

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Good tip, midzan. Forgot to mention it, but hey... Nova already has a lot of permissions to it. Giving it root/device admin ( also ) is something I personally avoid, so a decision was made on my side to, instead, use a very clean app for the purpose of turning the screen off.

Either way is ok and fine in my book.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
I suppose that if we block Nova with the firewall [AFWall+] it should be ok to grant it admin/root permissions. In case developers over at Nova wanted to somehow misuse our granting them root/admin permissions then having Nova blocked in the firewall would prevent them from misusing anything over at our side. I've used Nova and have had it blocked with my firewall for quite a few months now and have had no issues with it. It's only now in Nova Prime 4.2.0 and with midzan's tip that I was ever asked to grant root/admin permissions. In any case... the firewall is a wise move. Thanks for it, Tomo!

PS - on that note, do wakelock detecting apps need access to the net in any way, shape or form?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
First thing I did was to block Nova with a firewall :D And no, wakelock detecting apps don't need net access.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
I love this firewall. cheers! :)))

Hm, but BetterBatteryStats has a tab/drop-down item called 'Network'. That's what made me think that at least I should not block it with the firewall. Should I still block it?

As to 'Wakelock Detector Free' .. i readily blocked it with the firewall already. :)

Sorry .. BetterBatteryStats is not even available in AFWall+ to be blocked ... my bad :(
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Network just shows app network usage stats... and that's handy as well.

Yeah i did, i just thought that there were missing some target points since by default there are 4, and in tours theres 2. Now i made some tweaks and phone stays in deep sleep.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
There's no need to have more than 2, since you're making the kernel recalculate loads often. Having two makes the whole process much more efficient.

Main rule is setting above hispeed delay LOWER than initial value in target loads. Otherwise the frequency will jump up and down all the time and never settle. LG set the initial value to 1 in target loads since they wanted to keep the phone at 800 on idle. Why, for the love of all that is holy, did they do that???

But, all in all, glad to hear you sorted it out. Feel free to ask if you run into any more trouble.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Tomo123 and everyone else who contributed ... thank you so much guys!

1. What did you use to root your LG Spirit 2015. I just tried KingoRoot http://www.kingoapp.com/ with it's desktop PC version, but it failed ... Was also advised to try this http://xdaforums.com/android/development/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435 and eventually the sub-links within it:

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

but kinda ... Chinese mystery, not sure if I should try it. If you did use that, did you then follow also this http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html to switch to SuperSU?

Pls share how you rooted your devices, because to tweak all the settings you're discussing in this whole thread one need root access and i wanna gain that.

2. I though one cannot use SetCPU to overclock speeds of the CPU if a custom ROM and custom overclocked kernel are not flashed to the phone first. And there are no custom ROMs or kernels for the 2015 lg spirit. So what's the app(s) you're giving all these screenshots from? Is it Kernel Adiutor? Anything else needed to perform the tweaks discussed in this thread?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] thomekk91:
You should use kingroot, looks shady but totally safe. To replace supersu use the link in tge general thread. Its kernel adiutor yes, you need only that and root access
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Thanks for the reply man. By 'the link in tge general thread' I suppose you mean this: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html or?

Can anyone else please let me know which method they used to gain root access? Kingroot or something else?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamango:
Use kingroot, it was said multiple times. And yes use that tutorial to switch from kingroot to supersu.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
OK, it does not hurt to ask. It was said many times to use it, but I also read that I messed up some ppl's phones. That's why I wanna hear from more users to be sure it is safe ...
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
KingRoot ( NOT KingoRoot ) is the only viable way of rooting LG Spirit 4G LTE phones. After that, use Kernel Adiutor to tweak.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Yep, Kingoroot did not work. About to give kingroot a try soon, but I read in this thread on page 2 that ppl who have done the recent update to v10h-EUR-xx can no longer root with kingroot. One guy there says:

Well, I kinda messed up. Thought "who knows what this OTA update will bring?" and unrooted, then updated. Now, with V10h-EUR-XX I can't root it. At all. Tried Kingroot, OneClickRoot, LG all-in-one, spirited away... Nothing works. Whoever reading this, do not, i repeat, DO NOT update to V10h if you're not developer or know how to make root.

So now that I do have the v10h ... dunno if there's any risk in trying to root with kingroot? Advice?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] thomekk91:
There's always risk in rooting if you don't know how to recover from a false event.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
No idea how to recover from a false event. At most I can think of a back-up but what good is a back up if, for example, I am bricked an unable to access Android. Dunno if I should proceed.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] thomekk91:
It's done by flashing the official .kdz rom. My suggestion is to look around the xda forums, get a bit more educated in the matter and don't root until then. If you happen to have a device which you don't care about then you can try the different methods on that.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Prolly a good idea. Thanks mate! :)

Hi, can you tell me for what we install recently i trimmer? Also it would be nice if you share your settings on those apps.

Wysłane z telefonu.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
TRIM allows the OS to "inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally". Without using TRIM, internal storage speed decreases after a while, so if you have a solid-state drive ( like all modern Android phones do ) that supports TRIM, you should enable it so your phone remains fast over time. I usually trim weekly.

As for Recently, it's best explained what it does on it's Play Store page. It keeps your recent cards list at bay, so there's not a huge list of recent apps cluttering your recents section.

I've got it set up like this:

Age limit: 3 days

Entry limit: 8

Apply on boot: Yes

EVERYTHING ELSE DISABLED.

With all those kernel settings+greenify my battery still strugles..

On 4g i get around 2-2.5 hours SOT, on 3g+ i get 3-3.5, and on wifi around 4 hours screen on time.. How did you manage to get 7 hours? Without connections or?:)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Data connection is mostly off, since I am on a prepaid plan - and data is expensive. I use wifi often ( browsing, mail, viber ), but turn it off when not in use. Samba server is 99% on. Other than that, my phone usage is mostly based on browsing, tinkering with the phone and some light gaming. Screen brightness is set at 20, unless low screen visibility requires more. And a lot of bloatware was frozen with Titanium Backup.

Phone is highly optimized for low processor usage on idle. A lot of services and broadcast flags ( BOOT_COMPLETED, CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED, etc. ... ) are turned off with My Android Tools app. I don't use Greenify, since all the tweaks I do are manual. Don't trust a piece of software to do that automatically for me :D

Only third party services running are:

Viber

AFWall+

BatteryBot

Call Recorder

Smart Keyboard

Slightly off topic, but why is it that when i go to the bottom of the Settings of Total Commander I cannot enable Root functions everywhere ... it tells me i have not got root access and I DO have it 100% cos in order to use Total Commander, the app itself asked me to grant it root access ... which I did. Besides, I checked with 'Root checker pro' and it too tells me I do have root access. i managed to root with kingroot and then switched to SuperSU instead of KingUser. Is it a bug in Total Commander?

Guys, I just stumbled on a piece of info that might change the way we have our thermal daemon mitigation and high temperature property set up.

Earlier, I wanted to ( again ) test how high a temperature does our CPU achieve. So, I installed a stress test app from the Play Store and ran it, during which I watched how the chipset reacts to high temperatures. Yeah, it throttled the hell out of the CPU. Why? We disabled that. I guess we did not, although it says we did.

http://imgur.com/a/S7TdZ

Yarrr! This biaaatch be throttlin' no more! LG screwed up the markings on what's off and what is not. Set it up like this:

[IMG="yarrrr"]http://i.imgur.com/Upts194.jpg[/IMG]​

High Temp Prop OFF

Disabled

Thermal Mitigation

Disabled

... turn phone off, wait 15 seconds and turn back on.

And no more msm_thermal or ThermalEngine messages in the logs. Solved! Got it almost up to 80 degrees Celsius on the next test batch. I guess it maxed out there. Even without thermal "throttlery", there's no way the CPU will overheat. And you'd have to be doing something reeeeeeeeeally taxing to even come close to those temps.
