I can answer 4 and 5:

4)The su command is only needed when you change/set settings in govtuner. If everything is working ok it should start after every reboot without doing anything.

5)The uninstaller.zip is found inside the govtuner.zip.And after flashing it you still find it in system/etc/govtuner and can flash it from there.

About your device; Govtuner should work on any device and any kernel with the recommended governors.

I just can't tell you what android version is needed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
1) Yes, it will work.

2) 4.4.4 is fine, no problem.

3) It's not kernel dependent but governor dependent. Both kernels are fine.

4) Yes, if you want to change something in GovTuner you have to type su in the terminal first.

5) The uninstaller is inside the .zip. You can extract it easily and flash it via PhilZ.

Hope that helps till the new F. A.Q. is there.

Regards

Edit: most questions already answered by [MENTION=5237901]Wolfcity[/MENTION]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
4) Oh, okay, so GovTuner is an actual app and not just changes made by the flash? So it would replace the "Kernel Adiutor" tuning app then? And this works on KitKat 4.4.4 right?

5) Gotcha :)

Thanks!!!

4)

a) So GovTuner is *not* an System app being installed by flashing the zip also then?

b) What about Kernel Adiutor? Which section(s)/settings related to the CPU should I disable, so that it won't interfere with anything that GovTuner is doing?

Thank You very much for your time!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wolfcity:
Right, govtuner isn't an app, it's a script. It shouldn't interfere with Kernel Adiutor, the only thing that govtuner does is tuning governors, which is found in KA as "tunables" in the governor section. I think you shouldn't change anything there because govtuner already does it. You can change the governor in govtuner or in KA, doesn't matter.

Not every governor is tunable.

Simply flash govtuner, open a terminal, type su and then govtuner, make your settings (battery, balance, performance) and some self declaring things and you're done until you want to change something.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] R0llin:
what is the "increase performance" setting actually doing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
It's a fine tuning for the profiles. Let's say you have chosen battery profile and encounter a little lag here and there, that annoy you.

So that's where increase performance can help you. Test which value to increase is nessecary to avoid the lag.

Note that a fully increased battery profile is still more battery oriented than the balanced profile.

Same goes for balanced compared to performance.

For performance junkies even performance can be increased.

Could somebody help me how can I use this mod, xceed kernel and synapse together? Synapse does not start, it only says "no UCI support detected" when i try to start it. What does that mean?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cascabel:
Your kernel doesn't support Synapse. If you're using Magisk, there's a module that can force Synapse, although when i tried it not all features worked. Might want to look at that.

If you want to use this mod, simply flash it and type su then govtuner in terminal.

4.1.1 should be fine, but try 4.0.2, it may work.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Wait at least three minutes before you check the values, cause there is a start delay for GovTuner after reboot. That's a wanted thing to not screw things up during boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] R0llin:
i have waited. still not applied.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
So you have to apply manually after reboot or you can try lspeed app.

It contains GovTuner. Just don't forget to disable standalone GovTuner.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ahmet ferid:
thanks a lot dr.zook and R0llin.

I've tried V4.0.2 ok it is worked.

How these changes relate to L-Speed's governor version?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] devilsshadow:
Been running govtuner 4.1.1 since July. Just installed L speed. Should I remove govtuner? Or update to the beta? I'm a bit confused as to whether it's redundant to have govtuner flashed if it's already included in L speed. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ytgbg:
Any other way to test the beta if one doesn't use Telegram?

Edit:

I prefer the flashable way, but I installed newest beta of L-Speed and applied GovTuner for Battery and then switched to Kernel Adiutor and saved the new cpu parameters as a profile.

That should work for testing the new tuneables...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DB126:
L Speed and GovTuner (flashable) can coexist provided L Speed's GovTuner implementation is disabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] valk791:
Hi is this mod compatibile with emui 5 too?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
It is rom independent.

If you are rooted and your kernel contains one or more governors with tunables, then you're good to go.

i've been using v4.1.1 and notice performance improvement under previous version (Nice job Dev!) but the problem is the govtuner status always inactive on my xiaomi Redmi 3 Prime when i disable loop interval and after every reboot. So i always re-apply govtuner after every reboot. Is there the any way to make govtuner autostart after reboot? i don't have this problem in previous version. i use KA to simulate init.d. thanks

Please read this post to understand why it states inactive when you disable the loop and why that's not a problem.

Go in system/etc/init.d open Governor_Tuner and check the version in the top. Sometimes I forgot to change it and in 2.0.1 I did forget.

Go in the file which is having permissions denied and change permission to 755.

[emoji106]

Exactly. Do what I said above just to be sure which version are you using and it's okay.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cd716:
In the first error (no such file or directory) the file name it's not correct. It has to be "sampling_early_factor" instead "sampling_easy_factor". You can edit the governor tuner folder and aplay the changes.

In the second (permission denied) it's because the "sampling_rate_min" vallue cannot be tweaked. It will keep in 10000 vallue. Since [MENTION=5321318]Debuffer[/MENTION] was change it to 20000 it displays that error

Tried with stable.

With 2.01, it works.

But apart "interactive", i have no access to other govs. I tried "tune Ondemand" no working.

Kernel Adiator shows only interactive.

How can i change please ?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Debuffer:
If kernel adiutor only shows interactive you only have interactive.

The only command you need for the mod is TUNE. It automatically detects the governor and tune it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WILMANS2M:
okkkkk. Thought i can directly create a gov. So we need to have governors preinstalled with kernel in fact.

[MENTION=5321318]Debuffer[/MENTION] I use Interactive governor. Before flashing Gov Tuner it uses all of the available frequency, but after I flash it doesn't use the 500MHz anymore. I am not really bothered by it I would just like to report. Thank you so much for your hard work. I find it hard to notice the difference this mod makes cause I flashed this right after I upgraded to MM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Debuffer:
Well, it's better to use lower than ramp down to 500 and then to the minimum. What's the point of needing a 500MHz frequency since it's a laggy frequency for usage and a high frequency for idle.

Sorry for bad english
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
Did emulate init.d on KA not work for you?

Have you tried the beta from telegram chat?

Increase performance means pretty much what it says.

Let's say you want best possible battery but without noticeable lag.

On battery profile you sometimes encounter lag on your device? That's where increase performance can help.

Set it to lowest possible value and see, if lag is gone. If not try next higher value and so on.

Note that a fully increased battery profile is still more battery friendly than the standard balanced profile.

Same for balanced vs performance.

Latest Beta Testing

Testing parameters from latest Gov Tuner Beta included in L-Speed Beta 1.4.17 Beta 3/4 - I would say that at first I was a little concerned as the frequency states seemed a little higher, but I am receiving the best results till now in terms of very good battery along with smooth performance. Great balance in the battery profile.

I would like to test latest Gov Tuner Beta with flashable zip file and play around with the options for less and more performance to find the sweet spot...

Just make sure that you only use either GovTuner standalone or the lspeed inbuild one.

Actually, Droidwin 5 has alpha gluon kernel and along with Performance Control 2.2.6, battery is quite good. I have not changed battery since mid-2013. I was hoping to make it better with govtuner.

On Samsung Core, I use Cosmic ROM along with Performance Control. Battery drains rapidly. I tried Fly on Mod, L Speed and govtuner also. But, no improvement at all. Dont know what to do.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.zook:
I don't know about performance control 2.2.6, but it seems to be outdated, or am I wrong?

Lspeed is under active development by [MENTION=5514152]Paget96[/MENTION] and contains pretty much everything you may need to save battery. But it can't repair your old battery.

As the Core is an old device (2014,am I right?), the battery may be simply eol.

On my Note 4, this was the case last year, I bought a new battery cause the old one simply lost more than half of its capacity.

Whether lspeed or govtuner, nor any other app, tool, script or whatnot can save you when your battery dies.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] megaequs:
No mate, I don't mean that we don't need gov tuner completely anymore, I mean, if I use Lspeed, do I need to flash gov-tuner in the same time, together? Or can I use only the App (Lspeed) and don't flash gov-tuner while using Lspeed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wolfcity:
Als govtuner is implemented in Lspeed you don't have to flash it. I stay with the govtuner standalone version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] megaequs:
Is there a special reason, why you want to enter after every reboot terminal emulator and set up the values again (and again)? Are there any benefits through using giv-tuner standalone instead of the app?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DB126:
You should NOT use both together (exception for those who understand how the two intetact). Pick one or the other. There is no need or functional benefit for concurrent use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wolfcity:
I don't have to enter the values after every reboot, a script in init.d handles that for me which should be the normal behaviour of govtuner. If your device doesn't support native init.d support you can use some emulator like kernel auditor.

I only open a terminal when I want to change any settings.

And the reason why I prefer the standalone version of govtuner is that I don't need some features of Lspeed and others are managed with self-made scripts or apps like kernel auditor. So there is no reason for me to double features and maybe make things worse with too much tweaks. I like it slim. Nothing against Lspeed, it's a really good tweaking app if you want a all in one solution but I personally don't need it.
