(MOD)Improve performance eliminate lag with CTTMod (updated 11/08) - Nexus 6P Android Development

Introducing the CTTMod
(cpu thermal throttling mod)
Most popular mod for the G3 & G4 now here for the Nexus
Remember always make a full nandroid backup before doing anything
I Am Not Responsible For Anything You Do To Your Device.
Please read entire op before asking questions
Rom & kernel developers please feel free to include in your work. Just please give proper credit thanks
Best used in conjunction with an over clocked kernel i.e. elemental x
Working to improve performance eliminate lag along with lowering the core temps allowing your phone to continue to run smoothly after long or heavy periods of use.
Thermal control works by throttling the CPU down to preset frequencies at preset temperatures and is also done in a preset # of steps. Thermals also monitor and play parts in controlling other components like the GPU, battery and a couple of other things.
First let me be clear about one thing
The CTTMod does not turn off thermal throttling. Now the trick of going into the hidden menu and turning thermal mitigation and thermal control on. That does turn off all thermal monitoring and control and I highly advise against ever doing it. You take a huge risk of frying your phone.
What I've done is changed the first frequency bump down of two in the little cluster and left the 2nd stock
And in the big cluster I changed the first and second frequency bump downs of three and left the third stock
I've also increased the temperature at which it resets by 5° in versions 4x
For more info on how thermal works along with how the governor affects performance you can check out my op for the CTTMod for the G3 here
Instructions
1: Do a full nandroid back up
2: Back up your thermal file which is in system/etc ( thermal-engine.conf )
3: Flash mod and wipe cache
4: Reboot
5: In your kernel control app like kernel auditor set your thermal driver to msm thermal or temperature limit SoC temperture limit depending on what you kernel offers
The idea in the above is to make the kernel use the system's stock thermal driver which is the one I modded
I personally also check all cores on
Finally enjoy
One final note this mod and xceed kernel do not work together as xceed has built in it's own thermal control. If you would like to use this mod with xceed kernel you would have to ask the developer of xceed to make a compatible version. Sorry out of my hands.
Please hit the thanks Button and give it a 5 star rating :good:

I haven't changed the temps on this version only the CPU frequency it throttles to, I'm in the process of testing the next version with different temps
The Nexus handles things a bit differently then the g3 so I'm still working things out

Good deal...even an extra 5 degrees would help...this phone throttles at a rather low temp...starts at 50c I think

Great to see Robshr here. Loved your mod on my further g3 and g4. Throttling seems really to be a problem on this phone. So i gonna flash this and report.

Just flashed on n with stock kernel it booted up lol don't know if it worked tho

flashed this on Android N dp3, with elementalX Kernel.
How to confirm this working?

The thermal file was original there but when you flash the zip replace the original one with the mod one he only change some frequency in the thermal file he didn't touch the temp

Just what the 6P needs, the throttling kills performance on this phone so much.

This works with any kernel?

In the original OP for G# it says you have to have the thermal-engine-8974.conf file, which the 6P only has thermal-engine.conf, so is that same? Does still work? Not clear on that part. Thanks! Also, I have always kept msm_thermal and core control disabled, I can still do that right? Be disabled still?

[Kernel][Apr 26] Perseus

This is a direct port of my kernel on the international I9300 Galaxy S3 and sidekick to the international N7100/5 Note 2 kernels.
Recap of features:
CPU overclocking up to 1.8GHz and undervolting from 600mV to 1400mV.
GPU overclocking and undervolting.
GPU scaling reworked.
Screen sharpness and colour modifications.
Extended Pegasusq and improved Performance governors.
Removed Touch Booster and replaced with custom Flexrate mechanic.
Improved scheduler power management for improved idle residencies on auxiliary CPUs.
USB charging rate limit increased to 900mA.
Application for control of various settings.
This is supposed to be merely a proxy thread. Please refer to the N7100/5 thread for full changelogs, explanations, bug-reports and other issues. Kernel for specific device versions will be posted here.
This kernel is for the North American Verizon variant SCH-I605. Versions for other variants are found in their respective forums.
You obviously need to be unlocked with the "Suck it Verizon" bootloader/IROM unlock method before flashing this. I will not be responsible if you break your device by screwing up anything related to that.
flashing now!
Freaking awesome. Thank you for posting this.
Any known bugs/issues we should be aware of?

You let me know if there's something wrong. Now before things go down the same way as the other US variants, I implore everybody please read in the international N2 thread linked above for information about the kernel and the newest additions or if there's something wrong, it will always be more up to date than the proxy threads.
This kernel is absolutely insane! Wow!!
STWEAKS PROFILES! and proper bootloop fix.
Alright! now that Perseus Kernel .28 is out we have a new added feature that lets us implement override profiles!
What does this mean?
Well now this UNCHECK SET ON BOOT zip will actually just update your current default.profile and uncheck the set on boot options.
Which makes it the best fix for a bootloop, because you can then go back in to your old settings that failed and modify them.
I also am going to be generating 5 profiles. (will edit this post)
Each more aggressive overclocking and undervolting.
For people who are unsure of how to do do this properly with Stweaks,
You can just flash any of my profiles.
I recommend you download them all start at 5 and flash, if you bootloop or crash move up a profile until your stable!
Profile 5G is the one I run everyday (and is the lowest values for voltages)
It also is 200-1800 mhz overclocked and gpu 160-640 mhz
My custom governor tweaks (I believe the cpu is too aggressive and also the cores dont respond as much as id like to see them responding, 1 core on idle, 4 cores when needed.)
Profile 5 is the one I run everyday (and is the lowest values for voltages)
It also is 200-1800 mhz overclocked and gpu 160-640 mhz
STOCK governor settings
Profile 4 is slightly less aggressive on the voltages
200-1800 mhz 160-640
Profile 3 is slightly less aggressive on the voltage curve
200-1800mhz 160-533
Profile 2 is slightly less aggressive on the voltage curve
200-1600mhz 160-533
Profile 1 is slightly less aggressive on the voltage curve
200-1600mhz 160-533
Profile 0 is the DEFAULT profile the kernel came with. (it just deletes your profile and rebuilds it so its safe for all versions inlcuding S3-i9000)
EDIT: I have also included a zip with just the governor tweaks, these will not alter your voltages on cpu/gpu and will not change your max cpu
custom governor tweaks detailed below:
here is my logic
defaults parameter mine
30000 sampling rate 20000
82 up threshold 90
5 down diff 10
40% thres for response 81
1200 freq for fast down 1600
95 up thres fast down 98
37 up step 18
6 splice amount 4
13 down diff 8
With the default settings when the load is measured if the cpu load is over 82% off current freq step it will scale up.
New logic added in perseus .27 now gives us 3 up steps instead of just a fixed one.
so your cpu will step up more aggressively based on how much above the threshold it is, not just if its over, this is
great.
Right now, if we are coming in with a
load of 83%-88% we increase freq by 300mHz
if we are 89-94% we increase freq by 400 mHz and
if we are 94-100% then we increase freq by 700 mHz.
This is too fast for me.
For a few reasons the main one being that the amount we jump has gone up because our max cpu is 1800 instead of 1600 (at 1600 the jump ups are 200,300,600mhz)
The logic I use on my N2 is as follows:
Load of 90-94 = 100 mhz jump
load of 95-98 = 200 mhz jump
load of 99-100 = 400 mhz jump
The responsiveness of the phone is not compromised at all, the cpu just steps up less and only when it has really high loads(keep in mind the load is calculated every 20000 microseconds or 50 times in one second.)
It still gets to 1800 and does many operations there, but it comes out of 1800 fast and when it jumps down it jumps down further.
The fastdown has been upped from 1200 to 1600 , meaning it now requires 98% or higher load to jump up when above 1600 mhz not 1200 mhz, I found that the CPU was always in 1800 or like way lower,
never in the 1700 - 1200 range as it used to need 95% load to be in that range.
The cores hotplug has been slightly changed to turn off cores quicker when not in use and takes more samples to turn them on so they only turn on if load exists for longer duration of time.
PLEASE NOTE
Flashing any of these zips OTHER THEN THE UNCHECK SET ON BOOT will REMOVE your STWEAKS settings and replace them with the profile. PLEASE back up your profile if you want to save it.
Where is it?
/data/.perseus/default.profile << back this guy up. rename to default.profile2 works. or copy to sdcard.
Due to the way that these changes are applied (at initial boot) it will take longer then usual before beginning to display the boot animation for the first boot after changing profile.
This also means that you cannot flash 2 of these files in one boot, for example profile 3 and the governor tweaks.
You would need to flash the governor tweaks or the profile first and then reboot, and then flash the other.
Yay

Or would you flash the governor and the uncheck boot file then go back and flash a profile? What is the original setrtjng without a profile ?.....okay I think i got it. I just need to flash the kernel (the zip file) and start with profile 5. (Can I flash at the same time)
Then if there's problems I can flash the uncheck at boot file so it'll revert and I can make the changes? That about right.
Dear OP,
Thank you very much for bringing this to us. Is this kernel also compatible with CM10?

You got it bro.
First kernel. Then 5. Have th others in hand. If 5 won't work for you you will be boot looped. The uncheck set on boot will save your ads then reboot. Then flash 4 etc until you are stable. Only one profile per boot flashing more just overrides your last change. The profile is applied at kernel boot

Cool but can I do kernel and profile "x" at the same time?
And I hate to be "captain questions" here but what is the tweaks zip? Is that like an app it installs or a script or what?
I just flashed the kernel only, rebooted, opened up STweaks from app drawer, set min to 300mhz, set max OC to 1800mhz, set gpu to 640mhz, and left the other settings stock for the time being. I gained 2500 points running antutu benchmark. 17200 stock, 19600 with flux kernel. Seems rock solid so far...need a couple days to see how battery life is with that much OC, but its SMOOTH!

Yup jut do kernel first. Then 5g which will do gov tweaks and cpu gpu oc uv to the most aggressive voltage curve. If it Boot loops just flash 4 and continue
Also the set on boot uncheck is only needed if you want to retain your profile that caused a boot loop so you can adjust it

[YP-G70][Kernel][3.0.8][LiveOC] KKernel R2.1 by KOala888

Ok, please respect my time spend on that kernel and read at least those few opening posts and last pages of topic.
Many users reported that overclocking doesn't work for them, they got SODs etc. most probably because of gpu overclocking. So I present you a kernel with LiveOC feature that should be good for every user.
1. Main features
2. Tunables
3. Source
4. FAQ
5. Credits
6. Download
1. Main features (more in changelogs and on mine git)
* LiveOC
* Fastcharge
* CustomVoltage
* 441mb of RAM
* 400,800,1000,1100,1200,1300,1400 frequency steps with stock gpu&bus speed
* BFS
* Lowmemorykiller from 3.4
* Frandom
* 3.0.8
* Fsync disabled
* Lowered screen minimum brightness (I hope so that this is our hardware limit)
* default SIO and conservative
* opitmal readahead
* mine touchscreen values
* wifi works at normal speed when device is locked
* battery is charged to its 100%
* Touchscreen undervolted 20%
* Maaany other fixes and small features
2. Tunables
For managing those features you are supposed to use apk like NSTools or any other, but that one is highly recomennded
LiveOC
I implemented it so everybody can overclock as he wants to, total personalization and freedom of choice. And possibility to squeeze maximum performance.
LiveOC simply overclocks CHOOSED cpu frequencies by a % choosed by YOU, user.
As the gpu&bus frequency is simply cpu frequency divided by a number, it also is overclocked by choosed %.
Unfotunatelly cpu frequency and gpu&bus frequency are linked so choosed % affect both of them.
As I said, you can also choose which frequencies to overclock which is great facility.]
You won't probably be able to overclock more than 127% because of our BUS which can't achieve such a frequency (most devices)
For example, you choosed minimum frequency affected by LiveOC as 1300mHz and maximum as 1400mHz.
You set LiveOC % to 110., then:
1,1*1300 ==> 1430mHz
1,1*1400 ==> 1540mHz
1,1*200 ==> 220mHz - gpu&bus frequency for both of the frequencies
Now you probably think: Ok, I can overclock even to 1,7gHz but my device will reboot for sure because of too low voltages! That is why I also implemented CustomVoltage. Although when you overclock it slightly then you possibly won't have to adjust voltages.
*WARNING*
Some frequencies seem to not like liveoc, for me it is 1300mhz. Also some liveoc values can be laggy, use different then.
CustomVoltage
CustomVoltage allows to set you custom voltage for both cpu and gpu&bus.
Perfect solution for undervolting and overvolting when using liveOC
ARM voltage - voltage given to CPU
INT voltage - voltage given to GPU&BUS
Fastcharge
Fastcharge make charging via USB as fast as via normal A/C charger
You can simply turn it on and off whenever you like.
Minimum Brightness
Now your device can be even dimmer when using it at night.
*WARNING* You have to use RootDim apk for this thing. Lowering brightness via setting or on statusbar would require rom modification
I highly recommend seting up a custom tile, you choose Rootdim night1 and for example system icon "cloud".
Then you open RootDim, set your brightness to 1 and longpress Night1 button.
Voilla! You have a custom tile that sets your brightness to 1
I hope that it set brightness to our hardware minimum.
I also recommend switching off keys backlight by a script or manual permissions change

LiveOC helps to squeeze 100% from EVERY device
woah another kernel from you already, woot time to flash
The only one supported. Old are totally aborted. I just had to start from a scratch again.
I hope that youtube and kerys will work for usa, not sure
ok so far i been testing international kernel on latest iurnait's cm10.1 , tried vice city on medium graphics and it works pretty smooth, the touchscreen tweaks makes it really easy to control, cpu freq 100mhz-1400mhz, performance as governor and SIO as scheduler are just working great for heavy usage, best performance on my galaxy player so far, good job :good:
@KOala888 you should add instructions on how to configure liveOC so far Ezekeel's liveOC is pretty interesting but it doesn't scale up voltage and it doesn't OC the GPU well
BTW you should add credit for Ezekeel in the OP because he made the liveOC
1 last thing: there's no UKSM in the kernel

There are some accualy
Also, I did everything in hurry, and as you can see I have written that I have to make better opening post in future, so don;t worry everything will be added, like credits But thank you.
Also it isn't exacly ezekeel's liveoc I think. Why it doesn't OC gpu well? Stratosk has voltages scallable, but it is very individual feature. Most often you overclock 1-2 frequencies, not all of them, so not too much to adjust
I will add suggested configurations and voltages in future. I like liveoc because you can get literally maximum performance from overclocking here.
About UKSM, not sure, git doesn't match my HDD repo to well ;c

It is Ezekeel's, he originally made it for the Nexus S and I believe his name is in the copyright for the liveOC file. By bad GPU overclocking I mean that the GPU is barely being overclocked at all (unless it doesn't have GPU overclocking). For example, in my kernel the GPU runs at 229MHz when the CPU is at 1600MHz. In Nenamark2 with my kernel and CPU at 1600MHz I get 33fps. In this kernel I set the liveOC to 115% and set the CPU to 1680MHz and I only scored 30fps.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
Well I wouldn't say it is anything related to liveoc overclocking gpu in a bad way. It can be voltage, other kernel changes, toolchain (which I will change too), anything
I prefer hardcoded overclocking, but liveoc gives same performance and you can push it to the limits
And I don't need it to be the best in benchs, I want it to be universal. For me it is the best anyway
In epic citadel I got 41 fps

I hope im not the only one who wants this or i most surely will look like a boob...but is there any chance you could make a kernel like this for gingerbread? Entropy512's is just seeming so outdated after seeing the amazing features in the jellybean kernels . I and i hope some others would greatly appreciate if you just considered creating a gingerbread kernel. Thank you

Okay so with live oc my over clock will increase when needed and remain low when not...
So it's like on demand?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Nope. If you overclock it to 120% then every affected frequency will stay at 120% unless you change it to 100%
Feel free to ask
And about gingerbread, I don't use it. It literally sucks comparing to 4.2.x
So sorry but I can't. Hardware acceleration and many useful features do the thing.
But maybe in future, as an experiment, to see whether it isn't faster while gaming. I already had gb kernel some time ago but discraded.

LiveOC is not automatic, you have to configure it and use it manually. Basically, it allows you to increase the frequencies by a percent between 100 and 150 that you put in. Let's say you put in 110%, then the speed of all the frequencies will go up by 10%, so 1400MHz will become 1540MHz, 1300MHz will become 1430MHz, and so on.

But I included tunable selective liveoc too. So you can choose frequencies to overclock
Than you for help android1234567, btw do you use it? how is it?
Goodnight guys

I tested the kernel and it works well
How do I use the selective overclock?

Man, these 5.0 kernels are just amazing. The ram, OC, and everything. I'm really hoping that we'll see kernels with these features on the 4.0 sometime soon!
I'm curious, how much of a battery improvement does the LCD UV make? On the 4.0, the display eats tons of battery, tons and tons more than anything else. Wondering if we brought that to the 4.0 that it might fix that issue.
With this kernel every time I turn my screen on it doesn't come back on

In NSTools in cpu card you have values like OC target low and OC taget high. If you choose for example 800 and 1200 then every frequency from 800 to 1200 will be overclocked

Hm, just take from batterystats the % of battery that your LCD takes and multiply it by 0,8 Also, you have other display

ROMs and Kernels - Which are you running and why?

What's YOUR Set-Up?
Hello everyone, like most people here on XDA, I enjoy switching between ROMs and Kernels
while keeping an eye out for a daily driver that I like best.
If you have any other ROM/Kernel combinations that you enjoy and think others might also enjoy,
please feel free to share them here and explain why it's awesome!
:laugh: :good: ​
Currently I'm running:
Device: Nexus 6P - 32 GB - Aluminum (If you're curious )
ROM: Chroma (11/27) latest with SElinux Enforcing
Kernel: ElementalX (0.09) latest [SElinux Enforcing option ticked.]
Small Cluster - 1708 MHz (max)
Large Cluster - 2054 MHz (Max)
Govenor - ElementalX
Min. CPU Frequency - 480 MHz
Max. CPU Frequency - 1824 MHz
GPU: Max = 600 MHz / Min = 180 MHz / Governor = msm-adreno-tz
I/O Scheduler - FiOPS
Color Settings (EX app) from top to bottom: 205, 215, 256, 31, 133, 134, 0.
What I'm looking for out of a ROM/Kernel combo is great battery life and great performance, with some fun features but definitely minimal. So if you feel your setup matches these wants, and you don't mind sharing it here with me as well as others who may be looking for a similar setup, please do so!
I, as well as most others on this forum, would also be happy to help troubleshoot any problems you may be experiencing with your ROM/Kernel combo to the best of our abilities but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fix your phone and the responsibility of the device lies with you, the user.
I'm stock with ElementalX (default settings) and gravity box, gives me all the tweaks I need and a good balance of battery life and performance. I can't cope with all the hassle involved in switching between roms: two stage security and android wear factory resets and the like.

I see, I'll read and watch some YouTube videos before proceeding with caution. Is it going to be posted here on XDA or elsewhere?
So I'm running pure nexus rom and elementalx kernel. The reason I'm running this is fairly simple. I'm on project fi and pure nexus has integrated fi support (force switching to sprint or t-mo) so I don't have to use the fi spy app... And I use the integrated screen color option on the elementalx kernel to adjust the screen color as I prefer a cooler screen...
Cm13 is out. Nightly builds started today. Just go to CMs website to down load the latest nightly.
Stock because it works great. I haven't rooted yet either. There really isn't much need for that now a days. The phone is great and runs well. I wish the battery lasted longer, but the fast charging makes up for the lack of a large battery.
Device: Nexus 6P - 128 GB - Graphite
ROM: Stock with SElinux Enforcing

Complete stock without root.
Have rooted and installed custom ROMs on all my previous phones, got fed up of it.
That's why I got a Nexus 6P... absolutely no need for Root or custom ROM.

Same story here. CM12 AND 12.1 left such a bad taste in my mouth on my last phone, that I promised myself I would stay stock on the 6p for as long as possible. Not having to nandroid once a day, modify my system folder, and flash 3 files every other day is so refreshing after 7 years of that. I do miss adblocking, but I'm adjusting.

Yep, that's my CM experience as well. To say CM12 was quirky would be an understatement.
Been on Chroma for a long time on my N6 and again on my 6P. It just works. :good:

[TIPS] This setup will make your beloved Mi3 run like a champ!

Hello folks!
This thread is intended for sharing, please be kind. Any suggestions would be appreciated
A few days ago I was tired of having my Mi3 running on stock global dev MIUI 8, it was inefficient system with really bad memory management. On my experience, the MIUI tend to run out of memory. In some case, after a few hours of usage the system cannot reclaim the occupied RAM, thus making the system lags a lot and generate excessive heat!
Yes, MIUI is a feature-rich ROM, and the Mi ecosystem is a pretty mature ecosystem. However, those all greatness needs a lot of power to run on our 3 year old device. After a few research I decided to switch to CM13 ROM.
With efficiency in mind, I do my research and tinkering with my device to get the best setup possible without losing performance. The results are AMAZING! I can use my phone for a whole day without recharge in the mid day. All of this with huge improvement on performance, Real Racing 3 highest graphic setting without any noticeable lag! CPU and battery temperature are now significantly lower (43-47C idle / light tasks, 55-57C heavy gaming). Now that I've found the best setup, I want to share it with you folks! Here we go:
Mi3W 64GB
CM13 ROM snapshot build
CM kernel (automatically flashed while flashing CM13 zip through TWRP)
Screen resolution changed to 720x1280 use this guide
Modded interactive CPU governor (see screenshot below)
Undervolt (see screenshot below, this one really helps reduce CPU working temperature)
Noop I/O scheduler
Reduce aggresiveness of LMK (see screenshot below)
Thats all folks, hope this guide will get our Mi3 having another year of flagship-grade experience! Cheers! :highfive:

It depends on the kernel used. Cm kernel that he used supports undervolt. Careful when undervolting though as too much of it can cause cpu instability and reboots.

Yes, it depends on the kernel used. Some kernel support undervolting while others don't. You need to flash kernel that support undervolt.

While testing CPU voltage value, don't tick "apply on boot" option until you find the most stable voltage without causing system reboot or crashes. Every CPU has different limit on how far you can undervolt, but you can use the values on my screenshot as guidance (Snapdragon 801 / MSM8974-AB only)
Wow!! Thanks a lot bro. I'll fiddle now with my phone.

Undervolting (and clock adjustment, in general) pretty much is a case-per-case basis, so different handsets (even if it's the same type of device) may have different setup. Try lowering it first incrementally and test it, until you have it stable enough.

[Kernel] [LOS17.1] lyb's Alternative Kernel

DISCLAIMER
Code:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, NO WARRANTY IS PROVIDED. ONLY TESTED IN H990DS.
Why?
Certain games doesn't work well in the original LOS17.1 kernel for me.
What's new?
alucard hotplug
What's fixed compared to the original kernel?
none, if you don't need the features here just use the original kernel which is better.
Which build should I use?
General build if you don't play heavy games. Likely more stable.
Gaming build if you play heavy games. Likely less stable. Based on gamma but still uses LOS 17.1 sources.
Gaming-OC build if you play heavy games and have good thermals. Likely less stable. 2.34ghz big, 1.88ghz little, 710mhz gpu. Note that default voltages might be too high, use Gaming build first, take notes of the voltages, flash Gaming-OC then fix it up when some frequencies are too high.
Is it plug and play?
Certain new features will be disabled by default.
Pre-configured settings on the new features are not optimized, you should configure it yourself.
You can use smartpack to change adrenoboost, undervolt/overvolt, etc.
If you are throttled by thermal-engine, you will likely to never reach the OC cpu frequencies.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DO NOT TOUCH ESPECIALLY ANYTHING RELATED TO VOLTAGES.
LineageOS 16.0?
Some users say it works, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

US996 works with the VS995 kernel but shows white screen while booting up. Otherwise works great.
what does that gaming folder means .i am unable know ..about these files ..plzz help
any update for this kernel? it's very amazing for battery life and performance
H918
I flashed general build and what I have noticed.
Battery life improved.
Games runs smooth.
Phone runs cooler now.
Overall very stable kernel.
Ir blaster is not working kindly fix it in another build.
Thanks for your great work. ?
Is it possible to add ttl support in the next build?
So happy to see someone still willing to spend time developer kernel for v20, so I just want to see if it's possible

I'd recomend removing the crap thermal pad and replacing it with thermal paste like arctic mx-4. I did it and my thermals are very good, the cpu barely goes over 55 degrees celsius under heavy load. Before the mod i was hitting 70-80 degrees

My device using LOS 17 and this kernel always loch CPU clockspeed @ 1,19 Ghz and it can't be modified
I don't know, this bug from kernel or the ROM??
could be battery
here's few things you can try :
using the thermal engine I put on the drive link.
This can be dangerous since it is tuned for my phone or you can use gamma's thermal engine flashable.
Disable BCL, this is dangeorus and may shorten your battery lifespan. ONLY USE THIS FOR TESTING.
Code:
echo -n disable > /sys/class/power_supply/bcl/device/mode
if BCL fixed it then you need a new battery and be sure to restart so bcl enables again.

This is a nice update to Gamma, but unfortunately anything beyond the camera-fixed-but-otherwise Gamma kernel in the `MAGISK-TWEAKS` directory doesn't have a functioning IR sensor - even in the supposed 'General' build. If this project is still in development, would it be possible to add the feature back in? It's a lot to ask for, but for those who use a V20 as a secondary device specifically for some of these (now) niche hardware features, it's almost the final decision between using this kernel, or not.
...I'd say 'other kernels' but, there really isn't anything else for new AOSP-based ROMs beyond, uh, Gamma.
What is the difference in between this kernel and last gamma kernel 20.0? Thanks
