[APP][ROOT][4.0+] Performance Control - Open Source

h0rn3t · Sep 14, 2013

Performance Control is A CPU Control application bundled with AOKP (created by xoomdev).

I started modding and adding features to this application, with @educk, few months ago and now we decided to create a dedicated thread.

Functions:

Change CPU Governor, I/O Scheduler and Clock Speed
Battery information + Fast Charge setting + Battery Life eXtender setting
Change Voltages Assigned to each CPU frequency
Customize MinFree Task Killer (set the amount of RAM the minfree taskiller will keep), Not Killable Processes feature
Customize SD read-ahead
VM Settings such as: Dirty Ratio, Dirty Backgroud ratio, Dirty expire centisecs, Dirty writeback centrisecs, Minfree kbytes, Overcommit ratio, Swappiness and VFS Cache pressure, Dynamic Fsync, Backlight timeout, Backlight on touchscreen, Phantom Key Presses Filter
Integrated CPU Spy
Linux Kernel informations, CPU Informations, Memory Informations
Disk Informations
Tools: Custom shell command, Wipe cache+dalvik cache, Flash kernel or recovery (img files), Clean residual files, Optimize DBs
... and more

Depending on the kernel used, some application features will not be accessible, like: Voltage settings, Battery Life eXtender, etc

Requirements:

Root
Busybox
CM or other AOSP like ROM based on 4.0+

APP is Licensed under GPL v3.

TIPS:
- You can open system battery informations by clicking on voltage value in Battery tab
- You can increase or decrease voltages by 25mV steps in Voltage Settings tab using menu
- You can change fast between flashing kernel or recovery using menu
- Switch fast between tabs using menu > Tabs

Today I will release a new version. So, hide tabs option will be included in the next version.

Great news, tell me, is possible to make divided settings for i/o for internal and external storage?
I may sound weird, but are we sure ,that i/o seetings set by perfctrl are really set for everything at once?
And one more idea..more VM switches, like /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes , /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode, /proc/sys/vm/min_free_order_shift , /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster, and so on?
Would it be hard to add such switches?

You can test with other similar applications and see if are really set.
In the new version you have builprop editor, so you can set other vm parameters.

stock samsung tw rom with stock kernel (rooted, unsecured, init.d)... its i can set cpu freq sliders properly with set cpu,,, i was thinking its happening due to conflict with setcpu so i flashed new rom and reinstalled this appwithout any tweaks to test but the result was same,, as soon as i exit app after setting sliders it set itself to maximum level,,, on more thing in time in sate phone goes to deep sleep and freq is also at minimum level most of time,, dont know why only slider goes to maximum level....

Look on OP at Requirements.
Do you have a multicpu device? In this case mpdecision reset the frequencies.

Hi,

i'm actually testing [ROM][KK][4.4.2][KOT49H] ★★★ BEAN KAT v.5 + [Kernel] CM 11 - 4.4.2 - [ION+PMEM] Khan Kernel v1.1 on my Galaxy Wonder.

I tried to change some settings via performance control 2.18 but some values in build.prop, vm, i/o scheduler are not applied.

I dont know if this issues are rom, kernel or performance control related, but in the signature of some sgs+ developers i saw that they are actually using performance control 2.19b.

Maybe the issues are going to be fixed in the next version.

Cheers

Yes, there were some incompatibilities with KK. If you want to test and report, here is a new beta version: View attachment 2493900
You must uninstall previous version before install new one.

Thx a lot!

I tested it and want to report that i dont see anymore problems atm.

I successfully changed and applied following settings:

- cpu frequencies, governor, scheduler, set on boot
- Battery Life eXtender value, set on boot
- minfree memory settings, LowMemoryKiller management of not killable processes, ksm - enable/disable on boot, zram - start/stop - change size value - set on boot
- dynamic fscync - enable/disable on boot
- vm settings - changed swappines & vfs_cache_pressure - set on boot
- disk info - sdcard 1 + 2 is shown again
- build.prop - changed ro.config.low_ram from false to true and back

Great work!

Cheers
