[APP][ROOT][BB][Bricked]KControl - Kernel control app for msm/tegra3

[show-p1984]

KControl for msm/tegra3 devices​

Requirements?

Root.
Busybox. (For doing stuff faster on the shell than in java, zcat for example and module ops)
​

Playstore Link, Screenshots, Features, etc...

​

Supported devices?

Tested, by myself, on:
Nexus 5 (hammerhead)
Nexus 4 (mako)
Nexus 7 (grouper/tilapia)
Nexus 7 (flo/deb)
HTC One X (endeavoru)
HTC One S (ville)

Theoretically this app should work fully on any msm/tegra3 device using my kernels features. Tegra3 will lack thermal configuration though.

Functionality on stock kernels or custom kernels without Bricked features will be quite limited. (Everything with *1 or *2 in the feature list won't work then)
​

How can I make my kernel compatible?

​

Where to complain about errors/bugs? (I have no doubt there will be some)

Please use the Issuetracker for bugs/errors/feature wishes!

Nope.
Currently the only way to get it is through Google Play.

Will this app support ART? On Nexus 7 2013 Wifi it doesn't work with ART, only works with Dalvik

4.4.2 I presume?
Hadn't tested with that yet, but probably only requires a rebuild with the 4.4.2 sdk. Will look into that, thank you for the report.

@show-p1984
Is it the normal behavior of the apk to be able to change frequencies of your mp decision?
I was able to mess your kernel, ak, faux... In fact all kernel running customs decision or touch boost..

My habit was from other soft like faux or trickster...
Hope I'm understandable...

Not entirely. If you meant: "Is it normal that one can change the boost frequencies of bricked's mpdecision with KControl?" - yes.
I am unsure though what you mean about ak and faux.
KControl will offer you modification options for everything it detects, regardless of the kernel used. This means that KControl still features some options on 3rd party kernels other than bricked, or even on stock kernel. (on stock roughly ~50%, on any other custom kernel than bricked it's highly dependent on the features merged into it, but it won't be less than stock )

Here is the man...
I will try being more understandable

I was able to change the normal mpdecision behavior
I mean the noob I am was looking in the frequencies tab...
There I saw was I thought were strange value... Now I know that it was the normal behavior for the frequencies not to be always in the range I select
So when I was thinking I correct them in fact I was modifying the normal behavior

For example on the screen shot
The dummy me was trying to fix touch boost... Causing bad working
Also sometimes the frequencies tab can be populated with not only touch boost but thermal decision which I was thinking them to be artifacts and needed to be set"properly" again...

I was (still but won't) able to edit intelliplug behavior... Faux mpdecision ..

Am I clear ?! Hope so

Ah now I got you. So you wanted to know if it's normal behavior that the app shows you the real frequencies currently in effect and not the one you set. Yes, that is normal. The app always shows you the frequency range your soc is currently running on with those 8 text labels. They are meant as a monitoring option. Touchboost and thermal decisions will ofc interfere with your min/max freq for their respective durations.

Yes... U say it more clearly
Perhaps an advice in your apk could be nice for user coming from faux clock or trickster mod...
Cause in those apk... This messing action isn't possible

Does this app have the ability to check for the latest version of the bricked kernel for the device its installed on and download it?

Like faux or Franco apk...?
Nope it's up to you to take a look at bricked.de ....

For the moment. I am working on a big version 2.0 update which will make that feature list explode.

Any recomendations for a battery saving configuration?

Would like to improve battery life, undervolted allready and im not seeing any improvments...

These are the more 'simple' settings:
Mpdecision->Simple Settings: Hotplug slow / unplug fast
Mpdecision->Simple Settings: Disable input event boost
Governor: Powersave or interactive

KControl provides you with way more "in depth" options, but those values will depend highly on your usage and are best left at defaults for the average user. If you are experiment happy, try fiddling with them (and set apply on boot off). If you don't like them you can just reset them through KControl or reboot and the kernel will be back to defaults
