Thermal-Engine-8992.conf

[GoldGanja]

Hello,
i've made some changes to the default thermal engine conf, basically i've made some more steps for the thermal throttle. For example, in the default file when the cluster0 (the little four cores) reach 48° Celsius it is downclocked to 600 MhZ... now @ 36° it will be downclocked to max 1.248 GhZ -> @ 41° 960 MhZ and so on.

I've made this changes to the cluster 1 too (altough the curve is different), and now the 4th core (first of the Big ones) will be unplugged as usual @ 42° but will comes up again just @ 39° and not @ 37°.
I already pushed this changes to my device and i'm actually testing it. Will report my results.
I would like to go deeper in the conf but i lack the knowledge needed, i need a manual or something like that for all the variables that can be used in the file, for once i really don't know what the action_info in the battery monitor means at all.
What i meant to achieve is a more homogeneous downclock of the processor and a better battery life in everyday usage.

You have to replace the one in /System/Etc and give the right permission (0644)
Then from terminal stop and restart the thermal engine or just reboot the device.
Make a copy of the default file just in case.

Anyway, this is the file.

Cheers

Antutu Score v6.0 with my thermal-engine.conf and with the process thermal-engine completly shutted down.

You are doing something wrong, im getting about 60k without touching this thermal thing..

With just one run should be like that, my idea is to get constant value on more run... if you run antutu on yours more then one time in sequence you "should" get constant worse value, while i should get constat 50k-ish.
Still have to try and test the battery performance with this conf.
Will update soon

Nice GoldGanja, looking forward for more posts about it.

Nice tweak, thanks!

I'm using the one from this post, which is taken straight from Nexus 5X. In my case, this boost my score from 44K to 54K. The device is a little warmer, just a little and it comes back cold quick enough.

EDIT:
Retried just now from a cold state, it reaches 63K!

if I update the ROM , do I have to replace the file again ? i get 68k in antutu with the thermal-config from nexus 5x

Yes, each ROM update contains the same file so it will be overwritten.

Well, our phone reaches that score without any tweak.. So not a big result..

it is when you have 10+ background apps that sync all the time
I should be able to reach a lot more without them

Yhea the ones from the nexus 5x it's an intresting configuration, the PID algorythm for the throttle is really intresting for the cpu and gpu. While the monitor for the battery lacks some step, and there is a monitor to regulate the lcd brightness too that i don't like.

I'll try to merge best of both worlds and see what happens...

edit1:
Ok i modded it a little bit, now i will run some antutu with the snapdragon profiler activated via adb and see what happens
edit2:
Something went wrong with my mods, but with the conf unmodified i manage to get 64k.

Hi,
my phone (Mi4c 3G/32GB) is getting hot very easy with you thermal config file may solve it, or is there other file that can make a bether work?

best regards,
John

Im using now the Resurrection Rom wich is really amazing.
You should give a try. Now i have stable 55K Antutu withouth throttle downs. Before the best result was with cm13 i reached 55K first run second run 47K and third run ~44K. Smiui after some runs i was at 33K.

I actually don´t know what they have done for getting this amazing result.

Resurrection: first test ~56 then ~55 then ~56K. Just amazing. AND it doesn´t heat as much, little bit more as the cm13 i think, i had to test that again.
Maybe they played around with the thermal engine, @GoldGanja .

I got 73k in Antutu when I left my phone on top of a cold ice bag during the test run (on TSL's Cyanogenmod). There's so much potential...

Yeah it is ! Then you should do it again with an oc-Kernel oO.

 

[coroneta]

battery charge its more slower with this thermal config??

Great work !

My score with my device ( 32g-3g ) xiaomi.eu ROM 6.9.1.
