[Q] How to root a Snapdragon APQ8064 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Purchased a cheap China clone while at Shenzhen. The shop owner claimed that this is a Note 3 clone from one company called HDC. All my programs run well without any problem. Speed is fast.
Problem is, I need root in order to run some of my software. I can go into stock recovery mode and that's all. Which type of root should I use?
Below are some images taken while using AnTuTu benchmark.

Supposedly, MotoChopper is capable of rooting a lot of devices. Search for it, should be easy to find.

Qualcomm will never provide cpu for Huqqiangbei factory before, especially for this APQ8064
so i think the real cpu in your device is mtk6589

Why AnTuTu shows a APQ8064 ..

download antutu in antutu's official website .then install it and test again.
this shoudn't be apq8064... Qualcomm never provide cpu or chips for little factory :laugh:

CPU control under Android lollipop 5.0.2

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for information. I have the current use case:
My smartphone is a Sharp Aquos Zeta SH-03G with lollipop 5.0.2 (I didn't get a choice on the device I could get )
By digging a bit in the system I found out that this smartphone is configured somehow to not use the full CPU capacity. It justs use 5 cores out of 8 of the snapdragon 810 whatever the activity on the phone.
However all the core are seen as possible to use by the kernel with correct frequencies.
Only the core up to 1.5Ghz are use normally. for the core up to 2Ghz, only one is used and not at the top frequency (max 1.4Ghz)
Which make this phone to act as a 5 core up to 1.5Ghz. I'm just curious to understand where I should look like to see where that configuration is done.
Is it in the custom kernel source code? Is it some arguments given at boot time? Is it in some configuration file somewhere on one of the booting partition?
They release the source code of the kernel so I just give at least a quick check in the processor core frequency definition for a snapdragon 810 and it was looking like all is defined approprietly to use all of them. Also the system report that it really see 8 cores and that 8 cores may be use if needed...
Any help appreciated, thanks!

All G5 CPUs locked down to 1.5ghz

Hey, I saw that all CPUs are currently locked down to 1593mhz. Our chip should have 2x1.5ghz for general use and 2x2.1ghz for high performance tasks.
But in stock as in custom Roms, I see all CPUs locked down, max freq 1593mhz and no control over queue processing, either from hotplug or CPU front. Is there something I missed? Or LG just lied to us?
I know from thermal point of view that our device would not be able to sustain 2.1ghz for a long time, but if the frequency is not even available, it is a serious matter... +500mhz is not something to overlook!
If thats true, thatd be a heartbreaking, the first thing I look to before choosing a device, is clock speed
Unlock the game optimization
I checked on cpu-z and frequencies. With optimization on, it won't go over 1,5 ghz but with that option off it is easily jumping to maximum clock speed (faster battery drain). Stock rom, don't know about custom roms.

You mean game optimization in settings/battery? I think we do not have that option in custom ROMs (I am currently trying Aicp 12.1) and never changed it in stock. I will try going back to stock to disable that option and see if the frequency table changes... If it does, it will be a pre-requisite before flashing custom ROMs in our device. Still, it is something the kernel should handle.
I would underclock the device on my own, as I did with my good old G2, but not having the option for the CPUs to scale as intended is not cool...
Well, frequency table shows no change with stock, but somehow, CPUs 3 and 4 scale up to 2150mhz now.
I guess LG did not cheat in the strict sense of the word, but just does not want us to have control over our devices...

So... I was freaked out after reading this thread, so i rushed to check using cpu Z and it turned out that mine is clocked at 2.15, so i don't know what is wrong u
The Snapdragon 820 inside the LG G5 has a quad-core processor which has 2 cores clocked at 2.15 GHz and two other cores clocked at 1.6 GHz (1593 MHz), it's the way the manufacturer (Qualcomm) decided the processor to be, the LG G5 is not underclocked. Some users may get different results in applications like CPU-Z or AnTuTu depending on which core the application is based on.

The frequency table shown by kernel adiutor (or any kernel tweaking software) shows ranges 307-1593 for all processors.
I know the hardware behind, my first though was that LG underclocked it. Now I see the phone just hides its behavior and does not show the real table (or the available software is not able to see it).
We will need additional kernel development in order to effectively control the core speeds in our devices.
Case closed, thank you for the responses.

old versions of kernel auditor are buggy with the g5, they see it as a single quad core instead of big/little dual 2 cores. You need the newest kernel auditor.

Snap650, why installing apps use 100% of 1 A53 core instead of 1 a72 ? so slow

Hello, i am wondering if it's possible to modify it ? when installing/upgrading an app it use 100% of one of the a53 cores rather than one powerful a72 so it take forever to install.
it act like that on all phones with this soc or it depend of the kernel settings by the manufacturer ?
thanks you

[Help Needed] Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 based device not showing as 1.2GHz

Hello Developers,
Greetings to everyone!
I am looking at the specifications of a device using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor which is advertised at 1.2 GHz speed. When I tried to boot up the device, the internal specifications only show 1.19 GHz. My thought is that the device was designed at a lower clock speed considering performance vs. device heat & battery life. Is this generally true? and is it advisable to design a device at full rating?
In a project/business scenario, how do we explain this discrepancy in lay man's term? (e.g. the business requirement is for a manufacturer to create a device performing at 1.2 GHz using Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 but the device is running at 1.19 Ghz only). What information can we request from the manufacturer to address the concern?
Thank you in advance!

Hi, what processor recommended?

I wanted to make a custom PC build but I wanted to ask you what processor recommended. My search on wallapop is Intel Core i5, but which version recommended? Link to my search
@CzechosDrama,
When looking for anything you want to purchase, build, repair, install, or uninstall. Always do research yourself as that will get you the best results. Luckily, Google has all the information you need for free to do this research, not to mention pricing and availability. Google is your friend.
Thank you!

If I was to do a PC build though. In regards to a processor I would go with the Intel i7. It's really fast and reliable.
Thank you!
thisguy12win
But you are building a pc for office or a gaming pc? this is very relevant

If it's not too late, here's some important things to know:
1. The biggest mistake people make is that they always classify processors by i3, 5, 7 and 9. Don't do this. Each processor is different based on its generation. For example, the 12th gen October 2021) i5-12600K is much faster than the 11th gen i9-11900K (March 2021), even though the number is lower.
2. There are always two types of i5 CPUs in each generation:
- i5-#400
- i5-#600
Where # is the generation number.
i5 600 CPUs are better than i5 400 CPUs but are more expensive.
3. Intel has different letters at the end of some CPUs, the main ones to know are:
K - This means that the chip is unlocked, meaning you can overclock it without voiding warranty. For any processor that is 12th gen or newer, it also means they get extra cores.
F - No integrated graphics. If you get a CPU ending with F (e.g: 12400F, 11600KF), your PC will not work unless you brought a separate graphics card (which you probably will). As a return, F CPUs are cheaper than the non-F versions.
On top of all that, i7 and i9 are still options depending on the generation.
It all depends on your budget and what you need from your PC.
I know that seemed way too complicated, so let me help you pick a CPU. Just tell me your budget and what you want your PC for.

My budget is 30€-80€ and I want my pc for gaming, surfing the internet and testing VMs (maybe).
What exactly is your full budget (like for everything)? I would personally recommend spending a bigger part of your budget towards your CPU. Ideally you would want a 6-core CPU, but the best thing I can find under 80 is an Intel i3-10100F from 2019 on sale.

I would go with a AMD Ryzen CPU, they come with built in Vega graphics that perform really well in gaming, meaning, you won't have to buy a graphics card, if you go with an Intel CPU, you will have to buy a graphics card. AMD is a real cost saver because they are cheaper than Intel and come with excellent built in graphics.
That's actually true. The integrated graphics are really good, and you can easily get a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen 3 or 5 for a good price now. If you ever need to upgrade your GPU down the line the older RX series is also dropping in price
13th Gen i5 or i7 if you've got a broader budget. i9 isn't worth it the money.
Ryzen are decent, I've got one, but the Intel 13th Gen outperforms them this round.
