Yes. Well half half
You have companion controlled by tegra itself so no access via Android.
But you can manage all other 4 cores

Nicely done. I'm giving it a full charge now to see how it fares over an average day on 2 cores. Can't notice too much performance difference running on 2 cores now!
In the same vein as brentett, and similar to the setCPU profiles, could you add dropping to 2 cores on battery %, temperature, charging on AC and time of day?
Charging on AC would be the most important for me. That's when this phone really cooks if I'm charging and using it at the same time. Seems to run slightly cooler playing Youtube on AC charge anyway. Every time I finish a journey after using car charger and sat nav, the phone is hot enough to cook eggs!

I'll get round to coding this in at some point
At the moment, I've managed to get it to set the active cores when the phone boots. Just got a few tweaks to do and then i'll have an update out!
Yes, it should do, provided the file is present.
If not, the fix in the OP apparently works, I've not had time to test it myself though.
Ok,just installed the app,after that it immediatly showed me that i am using 4 cores,i selected the option for 2 cores,app told me that now i am using 2 cores.I will fully charge my HOX tonight and i will se tomorow how it behaves.I also played a little Hambo and i didn't noticed any lag or anything like this...I will keep you posted.
EDIT:Just installed TegraStats and the app confirms that now i am using only 2 cores.
I only have one question,will this somehow affect my device?I mean,is there a posibility that this app may broke my device if i use only 2 cores?

Nah, you said it yourself, it doesn't lag at all with 2 of the cores turned off, it doesn't really make any difference (apart from maybe improving battery life and stopping the overheating)!
UPDATE:
v1.2
Removed pointless code
Quite a few UI changes
Active Cores can now be set on boot (last one selected will be used).

Enjoy

amazing upgrade.. i love the last new feature =P
keep up the good work!
FINALLY! Dude, that is so awesome! That may be easily cecome one of the most handy applications to administrate our CPU / Cores.
If you now even start to include core clock settings, this one will become PRO. I would even gladly pay for that
Flashing now, let's see how it works on InsertCoin 6.0.0

Any reports on battery life?
Well you will save not that much since all cores are usually only powered up when opening an application.
So yes you will save some battery but not that much if you don't play thd games
Anyway I use that app since 3 days and even on 2 cores no lag.

Really great app! Thanks a lt for it!
The phone is as smooth as with quadcore..even the Tegra games (incl. Dark Medow) running without any difference in performence.
Whats noticeable in gaming is the huge battery saving and I mean HUGE. Also it gets not that warm/hot as before.. Absolutely great..
If you don't play games on your phone you'll, notice a small battery saving anyway..

102CoreControl
Only for users with ROOT ACCESS
(Screenshots show the battery profiles changing the core count)
This application will allow you to control how many cores are active on your phone!
Is your One X getting a little hot or is the battery running out a little too quick? This application attempts to solve these problems by allowing you to disable some of the processor's cores!
Battery Profiles Info (Please Read!)
[Battery Profiles will override whatever number is selected by the buttons at the top!]
First of all, this is nothing more than a proof of concept update. I realise that having a set number of profiles isn't the best idea and people will want to be able to change the cores on heat as well as battery level. There is also screen-off and charging profiles that need to be done. The layout is definitely not final either and will be changed in the next updates. I will try my best to incorporate these functions as well as others that have been requested.
Second, the 3 battery level values you can edit (in the Battery Profiles section) MUST go in descending order (e.g. 100, 80, 50, etc). The app will check for this.
The Battery profiles should take effect instantly.
Please expect bugs. This update is very much a proof of concept and whilst the battery profiles function correctly in my testing, bugs may very well arise.
Known Bugs
Very occasionally it will revert to the default of 4 cores when using the battery profiles. I've only ever seen this happen once and I have no idea what caused it.
Voltage is not currently colour-coded (I don't know the min/max levels)
Temperature is not fully colour-coded. Anything below 40C will be Green and anything above will be Red. More colours will be added when I know the Max battery temperature and I can work out good colour ranges.
Original thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630200
I highly recommend you install TegraStats - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1615666 (or search 'Tegrastats Free' on the market) - to monitor how many are active.
If the file doesn't exist for you, try this fix!
Changelog
Code:v1.4.2 Hopefully fixed the pointless and repeated request for SU access v1.4.1 [BETA] Only ever asks for Root Access when changing cores Added CPU temperature and frequency (Many thanks to Treebill!) - WARNING: The frequency jumps around a lot. I don't know if the file is buggy or this is actually happening - CPU temp and frequency only ever update when CoreControl is open. This will obviously be changed when CPU temperature profiles are introduced - CPU temp is fully colour-coded Battery Temperature is now fully colour-coded (Many thanks to Treebill!) General code clean up and optimisation v1.4 [BETA] Added Battery Profiles - See "Battery Profiles Info" above Should get and display Battery Information quicker [B]v1.3[/B] UI Changes Added a 'Battery Information' Sliding Drawer with the following information: - Battery Health - Power Type [USB/AC/Battery] - Battery Charge [With Battery state, Charging, Full, etc.] - Battery Temperature - Battery Voltage It's all colour-coded too! Battery Profiles are pretty much fully coded, they're not included in this release though. Should be done by next update. [B]v1.2[/B] Removed pointless code Quite a few UI changes Active Cores can now be set on boot (last one selected will be used). [B]v1.1[/B] Removed pointless "1 Core" option Disabling/Enabling cores should be quicker (slightly) [B]V1.0[/B] Initial Release
Enjoy!
5UPDATE
No Battery Profiles yet, sorry guys, but the profiles are pretty much completely coded in, I'm just far too tired to finish it tonight! Here's something you guys might like though
v1.3
UI Changes
Added a 'Battery Information' Sliding Drawer with the following information:
- Battery Health
- Power Type [USB/AC/Battery]
- Battery Charge [With Battery state; Charging, Full, etc.]
- Battery Temperature
- Battery Voltage
It's all colour-coded too!
Battery Profiles are pretty much fully coded, they're not included in this release though. Should be done by next update.
Download in the OP.

Yeah it will do, it should work on any rooted device running a Tegra 3.
Unfortunately, using only one core is not an option as the phone simply doesn't allow it. If you set the file to 1 (you can try it out yourself if you want) it still uses the second core whenever it needs to. There's no difference than just running it in dual-core mode
Sorry I haven't updated this in a while everyone, I have far too many projects on the go and far too much laziness to get them done quickly
I'll try and get it updated fairly soon!3
I doubt my app will be helping in standby mode, the phone switches to the Companion Core when the screen is off and doesn't use any of the other 4.
I have found a mod which allows you to 'throttle' the companion core, possibly resulting in even better battery off time. For more information and future results please see this thread
If my tests are successful and it does indeed save us some battery life I'll code the feature into CoreControl so it throttles the cpu when the screen is off and then un-throttles when the device wakes up
