Thermal Config Changer for Pocophone[ROOT]

[dragneelfps]

This app gives you a convenient way to change the value of

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_message/sconfig

The default values is -1 for custom roms. We can change it to certain predefined values set by Xiaomi which gives use different performance profiles. For example, for PUBG there is a PUBG mode with a value of 13. In MIUI there is a mechanism which detects certain phone states such as opening Camera or PUBG or Antutu, and automatically changes the value. But no such mechanism is yet released for custom roms. So, this app aims to provide this conveniently.

Note: You can do the same by manually editing the above mentioned file using your favorite file explorer.

Installation:

• Uninstall the previous app if installed.
• Install the app
• Give Root Permission
• Change the mode from the dropdown

Uninstall/Restore to default:

• Set the mode to DEFAULT
• Uninstall the app

Changelog:

• 2.1
  Added "set on reboot" mode.
• 2.0
  Added profiler
• 3.0
  Lots of changes. Check changelog here

Downloads: check attachments

Edit 1: Added Antutu benchmark screenshots for each mode. Check the screenshot file name for the mode used.
Edit 2: Update: Added force set option for MIUI users(no such problem in custom roms yet) and when the system resets the mode after reboot.

I tested on MIUI eu 8.12.27 and works fine. My test was open kernel auditor and your app and see the freqs, the result was if I choose arvr, underclock the CPU the setting, meanwhile if I choose evaluation the CPU max clock was 2.8ghz.

Thanks for the app

The app must be locked on background. If not the system will change the thermal config

In custom ROMs you'll never have this problem. Only on MIUI

 

[guraki]

And how we test that works correctly??

What I think is that the MIUI has its own mechanism to change the value as I stated in the OP. So if you use it on MIUI, then the MIUI will change it. But there's no such mechanism on custom roms yet, so it will be set until you reboot.

I am gonna post antutu benchmarks for all of the modes in a few minutes. Other than that, you can check manually either by running benchmarks on different modes or checking the kernel auditor for any changes.

Edit: Added Antutu benchmark screenshots for each mode.

Which one is the most battery efficient?

How can I check which screenshot belongs to which config?

You need to check the screenshot name either by hovering over it with your mouse on PC or download the image. I will add a tag over the screenshots later. Sorry for the inconvenience.

According to the benchmark,I would say extreme mode because it had the lowest score.
