How can I turn off the two little cores?

How can I turn off the two little cores?

you want to disable them permanently? Then you have to change the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/core_ctl/min_cpus to 2 instead of 4. But i would't do that, in my experience for both battery and performance is not good.

While it's very useful to enable init.d if your ROM doesn't have it, the profiles of gov tuner are too generic. Not saying that are bad or good because i didn't try them but they only changes the target_loads of the CPU and nothing more with frequencies that, for obvious reasons, are not suited around our device.

I tried your script for days and it was quite good. I don't get though why we had 600mhz for little cores minimum frequency

In term of battery drain there should not be a great difference between 364 and 600 MhZ , anyway i've made a new version with the minimum freq. to 364. Try it! and report back please ...

Hi ! I am using mokee rom and all cores never deep sleep.... Also big cores are never offline... Any idea ? (Also mokee rom doesnt use QCOMM hot plugs)

Newbie question,

What are those numbers permission? I only know how to change read/write permissions

It would be a long things to explain, but fortunately you can read it all over the web
https://www.linux.com/learn/understanding-linux-file-permissions

Long story short, when you replace the file... open the proprieties of the newly copied file with the help of a file explorer, like root explorer, and set his permission to 644.

Now i get it! Thanks!

Does anybody knows how to set permission to 644 on solid explorer;

I've tried setting permission by number with different apps but i think only Root Explorer lets you do that.

But basically your permissions have to be like this:

RW--R--R--

Nice work but how can i disable it?

Test results: To be honest, there hasn't been much improvement from stock since when the big cluster comes online it jumps to top frequency. I have near 80%time at top frequency on big cluster

Talkin about v0.8? because that's what i get in terms of times spent at each freq. after a while.

Well I think something went wrong because it seems the governor for big cluster was set to performance for some unknown reason... This phone is driving me crazy

@GoldGanja
i would test your script now but i have seen root is necassary and i removed root for SafetyNet .

But i would test your thermal-engine with some small modifications. Just have a few questions (im not android programmer =)).
Why do you use "quiet_therm" sensor instead of "xo_therm_buf" for the clusters (i think this sensor is near the battery) ?
Can i take some lower sampling as 5000 and 10000 like 1000 ? Or does lower sampling stress the performance ?

As i said i really like the way you manage to throttle step by step .

 

[solis_f]

@GoldGanja what are your stats of usage so I can compare mine

As you can see not much of difference between the two...
As for the sampling rate, that value is in milliseconds. So sure you can lower it if you want, in the default configuration it was set to 1000.

What kind of stats? Screen on time, etc. ?
