[DEV][DAEMON] - CoreControl RC3 - 12/07/31

---

Hi All,

I like to know what my CPU's/Cores are doing, and not only knowing, but controlling.

So i created this little deamon to control my cores and frequencies/governor. It waits for screen on/off events and then sets the Cores online/offline as to your config and then locks them in place so the system can't offline/online them as it wants. So you can have full duel core in screen on and force 1 core offline during sleep.

I would like to start by thanking and giving full props to the Virtuous team. They wrote the first daemon of this type and for making it open source. I got a lot of inspiration from their code. Here is my Github link.

Features:
Full duel core and single core support, probably more, but i only have those devices to test
4 Profiles (Wake(Screen on)/Sleep(Screen off)/Charge/LowBattery)
Core online/offline with lock-in so system can't change it.


Here is my settings and also the default when you install.
Wake
Gov = ondemand
Min = 192000 Mhz
Max = 1512000 Mhz (YIPPY, we have some new kernels)
Cores = 2

Sleep
Gov = conservative
Min = 192000 Mhz
Max = 648000 Mhz
Cores = 1 (only need 1 and other core gets off-lined)

Charge
Gov = ondemand
Min = 192000 Mhz
Max = 1188000 Mhz
Cores = 2

LowBattery
Gov = ondemand
Min = 192000 Mhz
Max = 1188000 Mhz
Cores = 1
Level = 15%

So what do you need to test/run.
* Custom recovery (Any should do, but i tested in 4Ext)
* Root access
* init.d support for autostart
* A little know-how.
* Android 4.0 (IceCreamSandwich) (Haven't tested on anything lower, but it was compile with ICS headers)

How to install.
Flash via recovery.

Change log.
RC1 (2012-06-21)
- Initial release.
RC2 (2012-06-27)
- Increased code efficiency.
- Debug stripped. (Profile change now happens in under 15ms)
- Ability to load config from sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/corecontrol/) with priority over system (/system/etc/corecontrol/)
- CLI arguments (-stop, -restart, -find, -version)
- Bug fix. (Profile change was to fast and cpu didn't have time to online. Only happened every 0.1%)
RC3 (2012-07-31)
- Added a wait for SDcard to be mounted to check for personal settings.

And how can you test if it is working? Well, find a cli app or log on with "adb shell" and execute the following commands.
"[I]/system/xbin/CoreControl -find" - Will return running daemon PID.
"logcat | grep CoreControl" - Will see profiles changing and when the app start it will give configuration.
"cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_[mg]*" - Will show you the current online cpus and what they set to.

To change any of the default config. Just edit the files in /system/etc/corecontrol/ or edit/create files in /mnt/sdcard/corecontrol/ and restart the phone or daemon.

Will probably write a App to make the config easier to change, but i'm also open to anybody helping with this.

This looks amazing. Keep up the good work of making our devices even better!
Thanks

With this Mod we don't need to other app such as System tuner pro or any patch such as XxXPachaXxX ?

@cjoliver
Still haven't found time to test it, I'm too busy with my app, sorry
Btw
Kernel on most of the ics roms for evo doesn't support oc (max is 1180000) yet so option for max wake frequency is wrong(1500000)

No problem.

I'm just future-proofing it for when we finally have OC , but if you go and have a look at how the kernel treats the value, it will use all frequencies upto and including this value, even if the closes freq step is only 1180000.(Come on htc, source, source, source, source. Come on everybody, source, source, source.)

hi mate, is it possible when the e3d screen on, with low process work, only activate 1core (as default)

There is quite a bit more functionality in System tuner, but i don't believe you will need XxXPachaXxX's core mod, they will work toghether, but CoreControl will force the core offline if setup that way.
