Hello everyone,
I am searching for an app, that allows me to switch off CPU cores of my Nexus and do decide how much min core and how much max cores will work. I can't find such settings in SetCPU.
Does anybody know such an app?
Use trickstermod.

You will need trickster mod, aswell as a custom kernel with a configuarable hotplug system or eco mode.
I would recommend Franco Kernel Updater app along with franco kernel itself.
You can tweak how many cores come online when you touch the screen , max and min frequencies , screen color adjustments (Recommended values from obsanity is amazing!) , everything you would ever think of to tweak in a kernel manually , is scripted in this app.
It's highly recommended , you wouldn't be disappointed with it.

Thank you guys! I will give franco kernel a try, with the corresponding app. Because I want to try undervolting as well.
The nightly r183 seems to be the latest for 4.3 (I am running the Stock ROM). Does it have any discovered bugs?
If you want to make your device for example 2 cores on only franco kernel won't work you will need a kernel like: neo, matr1x or faux and use trickster mod (or for faux you can use faux enhancement project) apps and go in hotplug settings

What are some apps that will allow me overclock and undervolt on my EVO??? Other than setCPU.... Is there anything newer and better???

I like using OS Monitor. I believe you can adjust the clock freq's with Process Monitor Widget as well, although i've never used that option before. You can't use either of those two apps I mentioned to set profiles. You can only adjust the governor and the clock speed.
And you need a kernel that allows overclocking, you probably knew that though
We're comin from a pure power source.
If you're running an aosp rom like cm7 or decks you can do over/under clocking from the advanced options. You can install viperboys script for undervolting. My favorite kernel is savagedzen but I'd recommend trying them all.
So I'm confused how the matr1x kernel works. I used Franco kernel for about one month and used his app to adjust settings. However with matr1x kernel are the best settings already set? If not, is there a way to adjust these settings?

I'll try to answer your questions. Yes, the best settings for the kernel are probably already set. To change them, you can use any CPU control app. Some ROMs even have a section in Settings for that.

Since it became free i decided to give it a spin.
I am limited to medium graphics.
I read that you could get high graphics on stock kernel + stock rom, but i dont want to have stock rom.
Im running PA 3.99 + hells-core kernel.
Is it one of these factors that is limiting me to select only medium?:
Also, i can ONLY select medium, not low or very low...
Thanks
Hells core under clocks your CPU. So the game thinks you have a lower end phone. So PA with the built in kernel should be fine.

So i must reflash PA to get the PA kernel back right?
But i like hells-core amazing battery.
Is there no other kernel that can help me?
Or can i OC or clock it back to stock speed? what app can i use for this?
waiting

i didnt use hells core but u can download trickster mod from playstore, change frequencies, and see if mp decision, inteli demand or something like dat is on, if it is turn off and try asphalt
Just came to the nexus 5 from my nexus s , before their used to be something called NSTOOLS for nexus s kernel stuff so i was wondering whats an equivalent tool i can use (preferablly for free =))
Currently running franco kernel r 19
trickster mod.
but if you like the kernel you use, you should support them and buy their app as it guarantees 100% success with the kernel tweak app whereas a universal app like trickster will not absolutely work with that kernel.
None, usually content with default settings...
I use the trickster app! It works great
Kcontrol is pretty nice. I also did like trickster mod when I used it on the s3 and s4

Gnex was all trickster all day.
Now I like kcontrol. Allows you set set governor / frequencies per core. So you could overclock core0+1 and underclock core2+3. And make 0+1 ondemand and 2+3 interactive.
I mean if you wanted to. I leave settings stock.I just like having the option. Plus show-p is a wonderful developer and I get better battery life than stock Google kernel on his without any performance loss.

I built my own. Everything seemed to be matched up to certain kernels so I made SKU Kernel to work in pretty much every situation. So far, it has.

I have Franco and trickster. This is mainly due to the fact that I would trickster more but use Franco's kernel and would like to support him

Hey can anyone recommend an app to mess with/fine tune kernel settings? I've tried and do not really like the Trickster Mod app because it often doesn't save what I chose and just reverts to something different... Thanks in advance!
BTW I'm on a Sprint S5 running MOAR v2.0 and running the stock NE5 kernel.
PS- I do not want to run KT Kernel.
Anyone?

Hi,
u tried Synapse kernel tweaker ?
It's a valid generic app for work with kernel setting
There are dozens of kernel and cpu control apps. You didn't give us much sense of what you are looking for so we can't make any targeted suggestions.
I used CPU adjuster. But there are lots of others e.g. CPU tuner, set CPU, Kernel tweaker, etc.

Always used Set CPU, it's an old one but it's light and does the job. Has the options so long as the kernel support it.

Trickstermod is one of my favorites, faux clock has lots of tweaking availabe too

Hey guys I have a question... which scheduler should I use when I want to play games/save battery (out of: noop, deadline, row, cfq) and which governor should I use when I want to play games/save battery (out of: interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance)?? TIA!!
For the governor, for gaming you should use performance, it maintains the device at a high CPU speed at almost all times, to save battery you can use powersave or conservative, I prefer conservative, and for normal device use ondemand or interactive. As of scheduler, I don't really know about them
BTW you can set your device to automatically change between them when needed with Franco's Per-App Modes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.perappmodes
Its a paid app but it is worth the money
