[DorimanX][Index][STweaks]Custom STweaks profiles for Dorimanx Kernel!

Hey guys, eskriminal here
There's been interest shown by some users of dorimanx kernel to use the profiles in stweaks of some specific people with success (e.g. myself, @rkoby13 and @infatality)
So this thread is here to provide download links for profiles with various goals/strengths, and they'll be indexed in the second post here.
The main profiles will be those of me and @rkoby13, though if anyone has a profile to share and it's found to be good, it may be included in op as well
Instructions for installing profiles!
1. Ensure the kernel version of the backup (will be listed here) is compatible with your installed kernel version.
2. Select the profile you want (generally you should try them out to work out what's best for you)
3. Download the profile, and copy it to /data/.siyah/ on your phone (from root directory)
4. Go into STweaks and ensure you're on default profile, then select to Restore your profile backup.
5. Reboot and check if it was applied in STweaks! Enjoy!
To all posting profiles: please do not include any undervolting in the profiles posted here, only those given by pm. If your profile has undervolting, copy that section of the default profile and paste it over your changes prior to uploading. GPU undervolting is permissible if not too extreme.
ANY OVERCLOCK MUST BE STATED CLEARLY IN THE POST CONTAINING YOUR PROFILE.

Profiles:
1. 9.40 - eskriminal - zzmoove heavy battery tuning - CPU Underclock 1gz - GPU Underclock/Undervolt
Soon to be expanded!
eskriminal's profile flasher! is here
credits to @dorimanx, I used his updater script as base because the s2 has stupid mount points and I couldn't remember what they were
to use it open up the zip and put your profile in the data/.siyah folder
I haven't tested but it *should* work fine

Great work guys. This looks to be a very helpful idea.

Updated on 09/09/2013
My default profiles Dropbox folder
My DB folder....with default.profile and default.profile_backup ....
1st is for manual restore via data/.siyah/* replacement and/or via Stweaks by putting it to root of internal sdcard and restore via Stweals backup/restore tab....reboot in both cases! @eskriminal you can add them to your OP
>>>UPDATE: 26/10/2013
My DB folder above is updated with new profiles for backup/restore via Stweaks and for manual restore via replacing default.profile in data/.siyah/*
Details :Check it out before use:good:....note that profile is meant to be used with 9.43 official release by @dorimanx and I'm not responsible if your device blows up or you lose data or something if you will use it on another version of kernel
released. It's stable for me and it feels like :tank: :good:
Edit:...I have it perfectly stable and smooth with these settings...no SoDs freezes or such....:good:
and check spoiler for FUN:

Also subscribed, great work eskriminal (I'm mostly a silent lurker, but follow all 4 dori kernel threads).
Just wondering if the profiles posted here will be for only the official builds & releases? Or if you will have a separate section (maybe in 2nd or 3rd post) for beta version profiles? No pressure, just wondering.

Haha.. I just realized this thread on my email! I will post my battery and default profile this evening especially for those on group 2!:sly:

yep mate, the version will be listed with the profile in the op, and I at least will update for each beta, and probably the others will too

I won't be doing this unless there's a lot of demand due to the fact that a major part of battery life is irrelevant to kernel parameters

Default profile, v9.40.
This profile is for anyone who wants a profile which is based on the stock profile but with extra performance. It intentionally doesn't use all the 'cutting edge' governors and io schedulers. Its meant to be fast & stable. Using tuned hyper wake & a tuned conservative sleep. Sio /noop io schedulers.
OVERCLOCK CPU to 1.4 GHz (voltages untouched)
GPU OVERCLOCK - 330Mhz (voltage raised for step 5 as it's a higher clock speed). Also minimum GPU speed is 160Mhz.
This profile is one I have been tweaking for about a month over various kernel releases. It is intended for the quickest UI (scrolling, opening apps especially) but without sacrificing battery (I get 5.5 hour screen time). It will not work well for gaming due to io scheduler used.
Not that it matters, but for anyone interested this profile gets over 5000 in quadrant & 12500 in antutu.
http://db.tt/2eGnfGiR
@eskriminal please let me know if this is not how you intended users to upload their profiles. I'm happy to edit my post & (even take down) my profile if you desire, just trying to help
Edit : NOTE: I use the 'force auto data & force auto wifi' options under the 'tweaks' tab. If anyone uses my profile then that will disable data while screen is off. You may want to uncheck those boxes in Stweaks.

Possibility of GPU OC @ more than 487mhz?

Well, as we all know, the the Adreno 320 on the s4 pro is barely capable enough for our device's resolution.
A lot of new games like Dead trigger 2 and Dead effect are struggling to provide decent framerates. Over clocking the cpu does not improve
anything. (I disabled thermal throttling to ensure the processors are not being throttled down)
So, we do need more Graphics prowess.
If thermal problems will arise by doing so, why don't we just UC the cpu and OC the GPU? Then do a mild undervolt.
Well, do you guys think the same as I do?
Will you not find it awesome to see devs implementing GPU OC of more than
487mhz? Or is it just not possible hardware wise?
Let's all talk about it here.
EDIT:
It seems like Riptide GP 2 is struggling as well, and it's not even at max settings..

How high fps do you get in dead trigger 2?
EDIT:
Just tried one level in that game, and the average FPS was 48.
Thats on stock cpu/gpu clock and no uv or ov, and with thermald enabled.

Why don't you try download DT2 and repeat the steps above?
I assure you, the frame rates will be choppy enough for you to tone down the settings again.

Very high settings are clearly intended for a higher end phone then.

Oc a mobile phone should never be done. There is a reason why Qualcomm limits the CPU and GPU to those MHz and since that is almost the only thing that will break the warranty on find 5 I really hope oc as high as that won't happens. I really think that the oc that's made for now is as high as it should be and future improvements needs to be found else where

That's way to much I think , stock GPU freq is 320 MHz iirc always remember its a phone , not a pc also the limitations will be the SoC at the end but it should be able to improve a bit without a higher freq, will test that game again later on to see what freq I can do at that settings

[TIP] Increase gaming performance

The N7 is an amazing tablet, but lets face it, the S4 Pro and Adreno 320 GPU really aren't up to the task when it comes to gaming on such a high resolution screen. Graphically intensive games just don't run as well as they should. So I did some digging and testing, and found an app that lets you lower your screen resolution, thus decreasing the strain on the GPU and increasing gaming performance. When changing the resolution to 800x1280, I found a noticeble increase in framerate in 3D games such as Riptide GP 1+2, NOVA 3, and Modern Combat 5, and the games still look great. You're not going to want to leave the resolution set that low all the time because it does make everything else look pretty bad, but when you're going to play a game, it only takes a second to set the resolution and start playing. It's a paid app (there are free ones that do the same thing, but I've had the best luck with this one), but considering the gains, it's worth every penny of the $1.99 asking price. Here's the link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lugalabs.resolutionchanger
So, give it a shot and let me know how it works out for you.
Here's some before and after 3D benchmarks-

I wonder how this works? It appears you can change the resolution and the DPI seperately. I wonder if this has a development thread somewhere?
Resolution is a ridiculous game these days. 1080P on a 7" screen is crazy. I have 1080P on my 50" TV. The old Nexus 7 2012 had a great resolution for the size. Additional resolution is just wasted resources.
So you just changed the Resolution but kept the DPI the same? Does it do it automatically? Is this App specific or system wide? Does it affect normal desktop graphics?

All I did was change resolution, the app changed the DPI to 213 automatically when I changed the res. And it is system wide so it's not something you are going to want to set and leave at all times because you definitely can see it everywhere else. I change it before playing and change it back when I'm done.

My advice ist to use the phenomal Glitch Kernel, with that you can oc your GPU. This performance game perfomance is phantastic with 600mhz.

I don't think our tablet is old for today's games yet. If the SoC was really an S4 Pro, than it would have come with an Adreno 320 which has 24 work pipes (something like parallel processor design which directly effects parallel processing and high resolution picturing, experts will explain better). But this SoC is actually a Snapdragon S600 which comes with a 32 work piped Adreno 320.
The S4 Pro is designed for 720p screens but this one is prepared for 1080p.
Besides, it's possible to OC it to almost 650MHz from 400 (the day this is necessary will come soon I guess).
PS: somehow lollipop seems to have trouble in games even though it is way better at everything else..

This came from necessity, I play a ton of games and the N7 doesn't handle the big ones as well as I'd like it to. I never would have looked into this if it ran them perfectly. But I am also 100% stock, so I haven't tried OC'ing the GPU. Honestly, last night when I did this the thought to flash a custom kernel and OC the GPU didn't even cross my mind.

What app are you using to change the settings? TricksterMod or FauxClock? Flashing the kernel now.
And what L2/Cache OC setting do you recommend?
Edit: I'm still on 4.4.4 and there's two options for the latest kitkat kernel- 226 and 226 disabled AVS, do you know which one I should flash?

This kernel comes with an Aroma installer, so you can set directly the settings you want during the installer. No need for a kernel manager app.
I recommend the settings that i get from Tk-Glitch, CPU 1,7 GHz with glitchy OC Bus, GPU 600mhz and undervolt-150mV.

They run fine, but some graphically intensive games don't have smooth framerates. Yours may be wonderful, but I know I'm not the only person on the planet that thinks there's room for improvement.

Consolidated tweaks for the redmi 3

Consolidation of tweaks for redmi 3 (my usage). If you have a tweak you think is useful and want added, just comment in this thread below and I'll add it to OP when possible. Take note, if you use this thread, you are expected to have at least some working knowledge of android and the system. This is not for novices because there is the potential of messing up big time. I will not answer questions like "where can i find buildprop"or "how do I enter this code". This thread is only for discussing tweaks, research, effect/affect and performance.
Rooted users only
CPU hotplugging(only works for miui) - with this, for the most part, BIG will have only 1 CPU online when idle, and so will LITTLE
Big - add this to buildprop
Code:
ro.core_ctl_min_cpu=0
little - use terminal or add to init post boot script
Code:
echo 60 85 95 95 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/busy_up_thres

Not to ask to many questions.
But which software do you use to make it smooth like a baby's butt.
Currently I'm using KA and/or EX Kernel Editor, disabled thermal engine but BIG sometimes have no (tunable) governor

KA is fine. I'm using it as well. These questions are welcome, just not questions that can be answered via a general search on google or the forums.
As for your tunable governor, sometimes you might need to reload the governor in KA, meaning you change it to another governor. It does it sometimes.

Thanks for this, very helpful. My main issue with my redmi 3 is the heat (although it's not really hot, I'd rather no heat at all over higher performance).
So I've set
ro.core_ctl_min_cpu=0
ro.core_ctl_max_cpu=0
Meaning no big cores.
I've also set
echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/min_cpus
So little only has 2 cores running ordinarily. I didn't use your threshold settings above, left those at default and just reduced the number of minimum cores on little.
The biggest boost to performance I've found is just setting:
echo deadline > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
echo deadline > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/scheduler
So overall, happy with these settings. 2 min little cpus, 4 max (default) and no big cores (so doesn't get hot at all) and deadline improves performance so you don't notice the big cores being off for most uses.
FYI
Geekbench 3, single core = 724, 2400ish with (2 big enabled, 4 little, default i/o scheduler)
Geekbench 3, single core = 603, 1800ish with (0 big enabled, 4 little, deadline i/o scheduler)
Not tested the battery life yet, but I'd imagine it would be better.

But disabling all the big cores will essentially meant that you're really, REALLY crippling the phone. In all fairness, the phone handles heat better than the snapdragon 615 by quite a bit. I find that hotplugging generally helps with the heat alot. In Kernel adiutor, why not go to thermal and enable core control instead so that the native thermal engine can do its work? otherwise I would rather disable the small cores, that way you still have that little extra boost of power where you need it with the big ones. the 616 is using all a53 cores i believe, just clocked slightly differently.

True, but I'm not a heavy user in anyway, so this works perfect for me. I'd imagine others would leave the bigger cores on for the slightly better performance. The deadline scheduler gives it great performance for the non heavy multi tasking user like me.

I can't change my governor after modified the governor it self because no option to change it.
And btw, did you disabled your thermal engine?

no clue.. you could try the typical fixes first and see if they help, update supersu to beta 2.72, update busybox etc. other than that I don't have this problem so I dont know how to help with this

Up to you.. I generally leave mine lone

what version of MIUI are you guys running? I am having trouble getting the governor changes to stick. I am using MIUI EU ROM 6.5.19. I have found Lollipop to be a real headache for making system level changes.
It is not possible to get it to stick at all.
I have tried using KA and Ex kernel but it is not working properly. I tried writing the little core mod into a a script but it didn't work. I have root and TWRP. My busy box version is new. I moved KA to the system partition and I think it is working better now but still it often tells me the governor is not tune-able or gives me a blank list in the governor selection list.

echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/min_cpus
Or
echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/min_cpu
Or
echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/min_cpu2

I got all that to work finally after plowing around for a while and updating and moving apps to the system partition and adjusting power nap. The only thing I'm still not sure about is how to set the little cpu to two on. But I have been getting about 10% per hour screen on time with 1-2 percent drain through the night. Thank you guys.

the min for little CPU doesnt seem to respect the terminal command for it, only the up threshold and down threhold.
you can try insmod the core_ctrl.ko and see if that helps

Okay, thanks, I will have to learn about that first

after applying the cpu tweak should i have to turn on "apply on boot"??

If you use KA, then you should turn it on.

Terrible performance in games

Hello,
I have an h918 on Tmobile. Recently i've noticed that any high end games I try to play turn into slideshows after a few minutes.
Yesterday I replaced the CPU thermal paste with Arctic Silver and changed my thermal conf file.
I get a better score in benchmarks, but still get the slideshow after a few minutes. One main example is Order and Chaos 2.
I've got all settings on low also. The rest of the phone is very fast though...Anybody have a fix?

Thermal file - https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/mod-fix-cpu-throttling-charging-gaming-t3650705
Ex Kernel in performance mode and nothing else running.
Went from 120k to 158k in Antutu after thermal paste change.
Edit: Now running with little cores on Performance and big on blu_active. Max gpu clock at 624mhz.
I also tried setting max background processes to 1 in dev options.

Are you rooted? If yes then install kernel adiutor and check your max gpu cloock speed. Mine drop to 316mhz whenever the phone gets hot, but setting it to max clock speed (624mhz) prior to opening games works for me.

You should use the mk2000 BTTF kernel if you aren't already, set your big cores to blu_active governor and your LITTTLE cores to performance. Make sure Max GPU clock is 624mhz and then run games and report back. This is the exact setting I use on my H918 running alpha rom and PUBG runs very smooth at 50-60FPS, phone barely gets hot and I've not even done any thermal paste mods.

I am rooted and on that mk2000 kernel too.
I tried doing these settings and it started off working great... I thought it was fixed.
After about 10 minutes it dropped back down to 3-5 fps and back to a slideshow afterwards.
My phone doesn't even feel hot either... so weird.

Try running this app:

See what your results are.

10 minute run with the default 20 threads.
I closed everything except Pandora, like when I play a game.

Huh. I was hoping that would show real degradation. Guess not.
Maybe it's a game issue, and less about the phone itself? Sorry man, I got nothin.

I know dude this sucks.... one guy on my ROMs thread suggested that maybe I didn't put enough paste on.
What I used was a little old too. So i ordered a new tube from Amazon and will reapply tonight. Maybe that will help.
Do you think something could be messed up with my kernel or rom?

I was just looking in the thermal-engine-8996.conf file.
The set_points for CPUs are 85/65 under most sections.
Under [Kryo_SS] the set_point is 40/38.5.
I couldn't find a definition for Kryo_SS and those values are half of the others. Could this be my issue?
Also tested on different games such as Nitro Nation 6. I got an app that shows temps in the status bar and its between 50c-71c.

May i have the name of that app to have the temps in the status bar?

Sounds to me like a faulty phone. I would consider myself a hard core mobile gamer and my v20 runs a like a champ. I run games like pubg and everything is fine. I do use l speed and set it to gaming and performance for that extra kick.

CPU Monitor, green icon.

Okay so last night I applied a different thermal compound. The one I used is for low contact pressure CPUs.
This stuff was like mercury, so runny.
I wiped my device and did a clean install of my ROM. Now everything seems to be great...
So... It was either not enough paste, bad paste or something with an app.
Thanks for the help everyone.

His phone clearly is locked at 1.47GHz and not at 2+ which is why you see the steady difference. the MIPS should be 65+ in throttling test.
Mine on lineage 15.1 stays at 55-60 too at 1.1GHz even after thermal paste change. Probably something bad with the kernel. I even set governors to userspace or ondemand but it doesn't do anything. Even set big cores minimum clock to 1.5GHz still it locks at 1.1GHz.

Trying this out after changing my thermal paste again since I put too much the 1st time. Is anyone else getting conflicting results from CPU temp apps? I've tried like 4 apps so far including the one the OP had in his status bar and every single app has shown a different temp for the CPU. Anyone have any input? I'm not well versed in sensors and stuff so maybe 1 app is pulling info from a different sensor than what the other app is showing???

Same here friend. I have an LS997 and it is terible at gaming. For PUBG Mobile, at first I can play it with balance graphic, medium frame rate. After few minutes, the phone becomes hot and game is turn to slow-motion mode.
Since I don't have root so the only thing I expect is Oreo would solved the issue. However, issue still persists

Well of course your getting better temps your using Liquid Metal for cooling, which is normally used on de-lidding high-end Intel CPU's for PC's to make them run considerably cooler...normally a difference of 10-15c on that alone...I'm gonna use Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut cause I'm cheap lol
