Hello XDA. Several days ago I flashed Lineage OS of Firelord. In all honesty, I am not happy with scaling frequency. After the ROM flashing>setup process, I learned that the default governor was set to Performance: Cores 0 and 1 are set to a static frequency of 960mhz. While Cores 2 and 3 are disabled.

Little Cluster 4,5,6,7 are set to a static frequency of 1.1ghZ.

Am not sure if this was a design to begin with or may have been overlooked. Either way, it's giving me intemittent freezes due to higher temp than stock. I tried so many Kernel Managers to manipulate the min/max scaling frequency. Was able to use the 1.46ghz frequency for a day and just reverta to 960mhz. This wasn't the case when I was stock Vibe Ui. 5.1.1 and 6.0.1

Tried this approach too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/development/frequency-decrease-to-save-power-t3392943/page2 the frequency holds after flashing s272 but iT sometimes overwritten by a conflicting parameter.

I understand CM doesn't normally use mpdecision but I'd be very grateful to anyone who can extend his assistance in resolving this governor/scaling issue. I just need a min_freq of 345000 and use 1340000 frequency while playing MC5. Or stock S272 and S288 scaling frequency which can be ported/applied on this rom on boot and normal use.

I have already tried Exkernel manager, 3c toolbox, kernel adiutor. These 3 don't haveprevent changes from other apps (or system)" option unlike setcpu and nofrills. But unfortunately setcpu and nofrills aren't working on CM14. Not sure if it's due to a systemless root setup.
