jeremywh7 has explained how to fix the issue with the ICSROM governor so that it runs with min 216Mhz and causes less heating - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58093061&postcount=1051

I have rebooted*, and its still working fine.
[*edit: forgot to update this post...a power off and cold boot does reset it. I've made an init.d script to fix it for now; will provide details later, as its now the wife's main phone.]

Better late than never, right? :-/ Here is the script I made as '/etc/init.d/01cpufreq' and set to chmod 755 (manually, using ES File Explorer, actually):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#ramdisk cpu scaling min fix

chown root.root /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo "216000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
I installed Universal Init.d (by Androguide.fr) to apply it at boot. I had to run the Test part w/ the tool set to Off, to enable SuperUser privileges. [Update: if you click a file to edit, it will also prompt for su, so that would be easier than running the test; K's July kernels don't support init.d obviously; I'm using kernel-2014_07_04_19_18_atrics.] After setting the tool On, and rebooting...voila, file permission fixed and min frequency 216 MHz.

Since I converted my old CM9-based Atrix to ICSROM (the reason I'm working on all this again), I recalled another mod, rain drop detect issue, for future reference:

Make sure to leave the extra character at the end the config line [ref: post 119].

Hope this helps...

Needless to say, I don't understand the instructions and I really want to be able to do this fix, so if anyone can help me, please let me know. How can I run this script?

This is more like a how to use ES Explorer or Root Browser to put a script in a location and set permissions question and not what you asked

Thanks for the quick reply!

So basically I have to save this in a file and set permissions for it on a root explorer? I'm a bit of a noon in this, so I'd really appreciate if you could please explain this procedure in a noob-friendly way. What exactly should I do and what should the permissions be.

Thanks!

Actually you hit the nail on the head after i pointed out what i did in my last post. For permissions, i find it easier to manually change them instead of the chmod thing that it was talking about. For permissions, 755 the same as*rwxr-xr-x

Okay. I got so far as that. But what should I name the file and what extension should I use? Am I supposed to replace a system file? Or is this a separate file I have to create? I'm not clear what he means by universal init.d, is it a file? What should I do with it?

Dude, you're seriously overcomplicating this. You're making it way more difficult than it needs to be, both for yourself and for XDA.
