Themes / Apps / Mods Cool dowm your Tensor

[fenibook]

The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency, which will cause the phone to heat up easily.
Therefore, I decided to limit the CPU clock frequency of the Tensor G2. By adjusting the overheating threshold, the CPU clock frequency limit can be achieved. Keep your Pixel 7 Pro super cool, not hot at all, and with longer battery life.
I made a Magisk module for your input, if you are also troubled by the heat of Pixel 7 Pro, then you can try this module.

My Pixel 7 Pro is already cool. Never ever even mildly warm. But i dont play games

With the case on, when charging it reaches 40 degrees. But otherwise it's... Ok I guess?

Summer is coming and he's going to be hot, using a Pixel in China.

Thank you!!!

Great, I had to test this. I have the Battery Guru, and I have set the temperature to 30 but it always prompts, even when I am using it for minimal work. Can you share some performance benchmarks, either with Battery Guru or Better Battery Stats? and the source on github?

Great i want to test

Not trying to be negative as I like this idea!

'The Tensor G2 processor on the pixel 7 series has poor energy efficiency'
Do you have data to proof that or are you guessing?

'which will cause the phone to heat up easily'
I have not really noticed that. in fact my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra gets much warmer than the p7p.

Curious what the actual performance gain and heat reduction will be (in numbers).

Data to prove that the efficiency of G2 is poor? Sure, sir.

This shows Tensor G1, and Tensor G2 introduced an additional X1 core (2x X1 cores) and didn't improve the efficiency much apart from being slightly more efficient since it's based on 4nm.

So, long story short, G2 is somewhere between Exynos 2100 and 888 when it comes to efficiency and neither of these two mentioned is really efficient.

Pixel 4's SD855 is more efficient than both Pixel 6 and 7. lol


There is plenty of power measurement data and how the SOC behaves under load, feel free to research.

mind posting the correction of values? at what temp it starts to throttle? is something else tweaked as well? im too lazy to look at the code myself lol

Whose using this? What are you seeing in terms of battery life gain and is the phone stuttering and stalling during usage?

Installed it several days ago. Noticed that charging fell to a crawl, to the point I thought my charger or cable was bad. Uninstalled immediately.

No lag, stuttering or freezing. No issues with charging. Temperature stays lower than normally, for example while using chrome or other browser temperature used to spike up to 60-65° within few minutes but now it's down to 50-55°. I didn't notice any change in battery life.

 

[TheMystic]

temperature used to spike up to 60-65

How did you measure?

Curious what the actual performance gain and heat reduction will be (in numbers).

I'm also curious to know what performance gains or battery efficiencies Pixel phones have with their 'clean' software.

5 second delay in the camera app when changing from photo to video or changing from back camera to front...

@fenibook , can you add any conditions to the module so it's inactive when the phone is charging either reorh cable or wirelessly?

 

[krakout]

For me camera works fine. Also, installed again on QPR3 and charging seems ok.

Yes my bad.. It was the one plus hide navigation bar module I used.. It was the only one that worked fine with android 13.. Does anyone know a proper one to hide that pill bar?!

AOSPmods, works fine for that. Some of the stuff is incompatible with 13 QPR3, but hiding the pill works fine.

The brightness bar from quick panel works OK or gets stuck when you slide it?!
