Hi, under product/etc/hwpg there are files for powersaving modes.

If you edit it, you can test your mate9 world first 1ghz gpu for mobile pgones with your favorite games(emulators) ;)

Modify normal cpu policy, or super cpu policy.xml (for powersaving settings) and reboot

Under is example of usage: app added to modified normal_cpu_policy.xml strings is -package name com.dolphinemu.dolphinemu

I found that the max gpu frequency is normally not recheable by phone due to this .xml strings. Which blocking it to 960000000hz

<scenemode name=".*?(hw.performance|dolphinemu*?).*" id="10000">

<cpu_minprofile>1805000</cpu_minprofile>

<cpu_a15_minprofile>2304000</cpu_a15_minprofile>

<gpu_minprofile>1037000000</gpu_minprofile>

<ddr_minprofile>960000000</ddr_minprofile>

<threshold_up>300</threshold_up>

<threshold_down>150</threshold_down>

</scenemode>

Warning, setting max gpu and loading heavy tasks might harm your device.

how long it takes to overheat ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
If my readings of gpu temp sensor ar true, it is about 60°c in 10 min of course cpu usage will also affect this value
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] arminbih:
Would love to try this but you know warranty and root don't go well together. Anyway how did you managed to run dolphin and what games, i can't seem to get playable fps.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
Zelda wind waker native resolution constant 30fps, even on large arenas

2x resolution sometime little lag on large areas

Fifa 06 2x res. playable after set override cpu to 34

Native res and cpu override to 34 near constant 35fps sometimes sound lagg

My settings: place my ini file to dolphin-emu/config
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] arminbih:
I just got it to work thx alot. Yaaaaaaay
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
id suspect over-voltage / temperature protection are in play so i dont see any negative side affects in doing this
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
Thats true, if temp gets too high phone just shut down itself. My mate9 never go off after high cpu/gpu usage like mate7 with this mod and its bit colder than mt7
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertobom:
I suppose that this have effect on Android games also, right? ☺️
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swan Princess:
If the GPU throttles due to heat after a gaming session as is, I dread thinking how horrible it will be, when you overclock it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lemonade747:
So please tell me, could I use this to underclock the GPU of this phone? Cuz I play game and it's too hot for me but it's not a heavy game, just a casual game. If yes, please tell me how. Thanks and have a nice day!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
Try paste this txt to product/etc/hwpgnormal_cpu_policy or super_cpu_policy this add new profile to your applications

Sample com.yourappname.secondname for another game com.game.game2

<scenemode name=".*?(yourappname|game2*?).*" id="10020">

<cpu_maxprofile>1402000</cpu_maxprofile>

<cpu_a15_maxprofile>1805000</cpu_a15_maxprofile>

<gpu_maxprofile>533000000</gpu_maxprofile>

<threshold_up>300</threshold_up>

<threshold_down>150</threshold_down>

</scenemode>

This will underclock your gpu by half and cpu little bit
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lemonade747:
Thanks! I will try this weeken and report soon! :fingers-crossed:

P/S: excuse me but what does "id" number mean? I have to write exactly like that or I could find somewhere? And regarding the app name, I have only one game, the format like this com.myappname.secondname so I write this

<scenemode name=".*?(myappname*?).*" id="10020">

Is it correct? And btw could you please give me the name of the app you're using to show cpu, gpu on the screen? I downloaded a lot of app like that but nothing shows my gpu info, only cpu :( or I have to run sth heavy then gpu should work?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
New id is required for new group off apps, but you can also edit existing id like 10015

Method with new id can be aplied to just one app

The app for monitoring is cool tool
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lemonade747:
I tried many times but it's not working, gpu doesnt show in any app for me, and cpu doesnt change anything, use app Cool tool as you said but only show like this: CPU:xx%, xxxx mhz and M: xxx mb where x are numbers. It didnt show multi core cpu, didnt show gpu and after I added the new profile, I rebooted then cpu still goes up to 1800mhz. So I think it's not working right?

P/S: my game name is: en.co.atm.unison, just that, it doesnt have any "com" or second name like others.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
Check out wind waker wideo with 2x res and gpu set to 800mhz-1ghz, playing it about hour, no slowdowns, this phone is a beast!

https://youtu.be/k2CFkDjGbco
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] arminbih:
Very very cool
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertobom:
I can't found this on my Mate.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
The path to profile files is incorrect in my previous post. /product/etc/hwpg/normal_cpu_policy.xml or super_cpu_policy.xml
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertobom:
Bro can you share what app you use to monitor gpu frequency?

Edit: found it but don't know how to use it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NekoMichi:
Thanks for this, I'll definitely be testing this on an Honor 9 later. Since it has the same CPU/GPU, hopefully it can reach similar outputs. Right now I'm only getting about 10FPS on Wind Waker.

By the way, when editing the xml file did you find any entries with other apps' names in them? Funnily enough this is exactly how certain OEMs cheated at benchmarks a few years ago, by creating CPU profiles that only activated when certain benchmark apps were running in order to boost their numbers and reach scores that would be impossible to get under normal everyday use.

---

EDIT:

HOLY MOLY it actually worked!

Combined with adding per-game configs, I'm now getting stable 30FPS in Wind Waker, Smash Bros., and a bunch of other titles. Taiko no Tatsujin Wii also works perfectly too.

Thank you so much!

EDIT 2:

Most sections of Twilight Princess (NGC version) run at 30FPS, large forested areas can drop to 20 or lower. Resident Evil runs at full speed, no lag whatsoever (then again, it's not really graphically intensive), Resident Evil 4 (NGC version) runs mostly at 30FPS, but can drop to 20 when there are more than 10 characters rendered on screen. I've yet to test the Wii counterparts of those games.

Some other Wii games are also now playable. Super Smash Bros. Brawl runs at full speed, Super Mario Galaxy's title screen runs almost full speed, unfortunately I can't start a new game because it requires pointer controls and Dolphin's emulated pointer doesn't reach far enough down the screen to highlight the "start" button.

As for thermals, my device is reaching a plateau of about 47 degrees Celsius and not really getting any warmer. Battery's dropping rather quickly but that's to be expected.

(Note that I'm using a Huawei Honor 9, not a Mate 9. While they have the same CPU/GPU configuration and should have similar performance, thermals might vary drastically.)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
For latest dolphin builds use gl tools with spoffing device as tegra 3 it gives emulator about 10fps more

It slow down due Ext buffer storage error on mali driver but if emu think that you are on tegra it play smoother

I don't like Nougat and woud like to stick with MM. How do I disable the software update prompt? I keep selecting "Later" on the prompt screen but I want it gone permanently.

Any services I need to stop? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
If you take some time to search through the thread you'd find the answer to this. We don't like having to keep typing out the same thing over and over again because people don't use the search function.. Not trying to be mean or anything it's just annoying to answer the same question over and over..

Like this post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ynag:
Thank you MrMike2182. I found the answer in another thread and was about to close this when I saw your response.

My apologies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bearone2:
annoying huh....i searched & can't find the answer, "how to disable the software update prompt note5". for someone with as many posts as you have you probably know right where to look.

the op didn't offer up a link that provided the answer either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Search long enough and you'll find your answer! But don't be so "specific" with the search engine. By looking for the answer to just the "note 5" only you're drastically reducing your chances of finding an answer because usually what works on one, works on another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bearone2:
you've wasted more of both yours & my time by deflecting to a lengthy search process to me & the op, when you could've posted a link to the answer.

i don't have the time or patience to spend a lot of time, searching to find an answer. to my question.

i frequent this site & others & there's always someone like you who won't provide an answer & recommends more searching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Apparently you're not very bright at all are you?! I already posted the link above and if you would open your eyes and READ it you would see you're the one wasting time because I posted the damn answer right underneath the OPs question! Take your finger and TAP on the orange letters that I posted a MONTH AGO called "Like this post".. Tap it and see what happens! Now you made yourself look like a moron!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bearone2:
i'm extremely bright sport & had no idea "like this thread" was a link that answered the question .

& apparently you weren't bright enough enough to mention TAPPING on "like this post", when i 1st posted in this thread but it's nice that you clarify now..........................how many posts later.

so, who's the moron??

you could've helped early on but you chose not to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Like I said it was posted over a month ago and that equals helping! Most of all my post are to help others!!

Hi i just bought the Mediapad M2 10.0 Premium edition. (with 64gb and 3g ram)

i did install all updates and apps as usual. But whatever i do i cannot get the youtube app to show me the option for 1080p60 .

I can play it in the browser in 1080p60 and it doesnt even break a sweat. So the device is capable of doing it.

I also followed this https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/SnUZLroxZOM

instructions to no avail.

Any ideas? do you have issues with this?

anyone? guys? can someone check and report please i really have to know so i can return the device if necessary
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] -=MoRpH=-:
I got my Hands on some internal Documents of the Honor 8 Pro and found some interesting things. I read many reviews after the launch in Berlin.

A lot reviewers wrote that the 8 Pro got UFS memory because of the high benchmark scores. But it looks like that only the pre-release/demo devices got that memory type.

Mine 8 Pro has "only" the eMMC 5.1 and the internal confidential document said that's the official​ memory type.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] SoulInferno:
I can confirm that my DUK-L09 has also no UFS memory. Bought mine from O2 Telefonica Store in Germany with a MyHandy contract.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krystal666:
I can confirm as well, i have a honor 8 pro and it has a "eMMC" memory type, many specialized tech website announced it as a "UFS" memory type...that's kind of suck :(
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
All the new phones were advertised originally as UFS then the news came out and websites were changed to remove references.

Now it seems the Galaxy S8 is the same.. I wonder how many others did so, given there's a reported shortage of UFS memory?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AlienwareAR:
Hi Guys.

How did you check your memory type? Did you use benchmark? I'd like to test mine and check if it has the UFS 2.1

Thanks!
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] -=MoRpH=-:
Just run AndroBench from the playstore. And if you got ~250mb/s and ~95mb/s you heave emmc
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AlienwareAR:
Mine has the EMMC type too... :(
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] OldDroid:
try with app "P10 check", it gives you the Details what storage type you have
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:

just curious... yours is german unit? one member said his unit is from germany and it's got emmc. so wondering if it's really random or perhaps there's a pattern (based on geo or sth).
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
It's pretty much random just like the P10.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] OldDroid:
i think mine is a demo/preview model, it came as l09c900, without any storage info on the box itself, strange but okay ^^
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
but still, i'd think that somehow in the assembly line, they'd have like one batch of emmc chips for one batch of phones. so, wondering if we can tell maybe the batches are more for black colour, or blue...

i dun think they'd have a batch where the chips are mixed (emmc and ufs). it would make recall/ tracing batch a nightmare if they really mixed things up during assembly.

would be nice if current owners can share more stats like:

* location/ country where unit is bought/ originated from (in case you bought it from overseas reseller)

* colour (blue, black, white)

* storage size (64GB vs 128GB)

* storage type (ufs vs emmc)

hopefully we can have some idea where the UFS is likely to be in... :)
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
That can work. Once I have my Honor 8 Pro, I will give you these details :)
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
hi guys...

do you think you can help out with this:

just trying to gather some data and hopefully we can see some pattern... i'm thinking it might be related to colour perhaps?

LOL that would be sort of crazy but I've given up trying to out think cell phone manufacturers. ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:

* 64GB

* EMMC
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhi Dahiya:
This is what i totally hate. After OP5 jelly screen debacle, i turned my sights to Honor 8 pro. But now i see it has lottery system in internal storage and ram.

If it was ufs 2.0 or 2.1 it would have still been sorta ok but emmc 5.1 is outright pathetic! They are out of their minds.

A so called flagship from huawei that doesn't even have a consistent memory type and emmc storage is totally not flagship. It's totally midrange.

What if i get the device and find out i have emmc 5.1 ? I would be super pissed. And yes, difference between emmc 5.1 and ufs 2.0 is totally visible in performance though not much in 2.0 and 2.1.

Op5 was perfect, ddr 4x,ufs 2.1, no lottery but morons mounted the screen upside down... Feels like with these so called bang for buck devices companies always end up screwing the customers :crying:

Edit - Honor 8 Pro is priced cheapest in India, with highest variant (6gb, 128gb), i bet they are cutting corners with internal memory and ram in India. Maybe emmc 5.1 and ddr3
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
Where do you see the difference when you use the device? Curious.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Imagine two desktop computers. One equipped with HDD and one equipped with SDD. That's the simplest comparison.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
That does not answer my question, and aren't we talking about RAM, not storage. I think I have emmc and I haven't seen any long loading or anything that could be because the RAM didn't work fast enough or there wouldn't be enough of it.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Bruh. UFS and eMMC is storage, NOT RAM.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhi Dahiya:
Keep both versions with emmc 5.1, ddr3 ram and ufs , ddr4 storage side by side, you will see the difference.

It's just not in theory, you will see considerable difference in app installation, app loading, game loading, game performance, copying/writing/reading data in memory, and battery life too (DDR4 ram and ufs storages consume lesser power).

Basically you are not getting what you were promised of. And ddr3 ram and emmc storage is usually seen in low-midrange phones of Xiaomi, lenovo, Samsung, moto and other brands.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
I thought it was the read/write speed of the RAM memory, my bad.

I'd love to see a video with a comparison of two 8 Pros with different memory speed. Right now it still is theory as to if it is visible or not. People who don't own the device might be right on paper, but when it comes to actual use the thing might not stand out.

Don't get me wrong I get what you are saying, but optimization and software plays a huge part, just look at Apple, less powerful software overall but smooth performance (albeit more restricted).
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Have a look at the image. The difference is too great for it to go unnoticed.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
I've seen the numbers. Must say that I have to take your word for it.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
If only Indian users could tell if it's emmc or ufs because one user mentioned that Malaysian model got emmc.

Edit - just checked the Indian honor website and the ram was mentioned as DDR4. No info about storage type.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhi Dahiya:
Indian model has emmc storage. Check it out. Verified user on Amazon India. Poor tactics by huawei/honor. Screwing customers in a way that they won't know directly.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Did they mentioned anywhere about honor 8 pro having ufs?

Edit - This is the only bad thing with Huawei. I hate this lottery system. It's preventing me from buying this phone now. Damn.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
OpenKirin team have the UFS variants.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
And everyone else has emmc ones. So, performance gap comes there in play.

Most of the reviewers don't mention about it having emmc or ufs.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhi Dahiya:
Even i was looking to buy honor 8 pro after op5 jelly screen issue. But now I won't buy this one either. Will rather wait for OP5T. Will come with all the required fixes and polishing around just like OP3T
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
I will get one next month and will let you know.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
I am asking all around about it having emmc or ufs on every review channel.
