A2017G CPU Governor "EE"? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I just received my A2017G yesterday and will test it for the next two weeks or so. Before deciding it to keep or not.
While running devcheck by flar2 I came across the CPU Governor that the Axon 7 is using.
Having experience in porting and building CM for my old phone. I never came across a governor named "EE"? Anyone else saw this?

I've got a 2017U and I don't have that governor according to Kernel Adiutor

I can't run root yet and kernel auditor needs it. I'm still in the 14-days return option. I might order the US model. It has all the LTE bands I need for Germany and I don't care about neighboring countries reception.
Could you start devcheck and see what it says for you under governer? It's made by flar2 (XDA dev).

Says EE governor for me, too, but under kernel adiutor it's clearly interactive. Weird!

Thanks its probably devcheck then. Maybe EE stands for "Error missing permissions" or something.

The governors should be interactive, performance, conservative, userspace, ondemand, and powersave for both big and little clusters.

[Q] What overclock speed you using?

How fast do you overclock?
Currently running at 1.5ghz/800mhz (Max/Min)
I have never had any issues.
Who goes faster, and any issues in doing so?
What governor are you using?

I was going to mention that. I am using Smartass V2. I do not really understand governors. Care to explain?
Governor is how the system uses processor throttling/stepping. You should google linux + governor or android + governor for a little more detailed information on each governors..

Can the governors be edited on the stock ROM? I seem to remember trading this was possible.

Of course, but you need a rooted phone, search in the market for no frills cpu or setcpu, there u can change the governos and i/o scheduler

Im using 480/1200 with SmartassV2 and BFQ as i/o scheduler on my u8800-51
I'm using 1.8 ghz max value. It's stable there. I ran a quadrant and scored 3500. Min 245 ondemand governor. Tried also 1.9 but failed in the middle of quadrant.

my phone is rooted and I already have set CPU but when setting up SetCPU I use the recommended detection and I seem to be stuck on 806MHz as maximum freq.
I played with deleting setcpu data and trying one of the options but no selection there to suite my phone as far as I can tell.
would love to overclock just a little more as a way learn more than anything else...
Edit: OK just read setcpu help pages and that bit of it is a little clearer. I'm going to go looking for what this phone freq governors can handle. If anyone wants to help with what series of governors you are using that would be great
Just rooting your phone won't help. You need to have a kernel that supports the overclocks. If you use SetCPU with a rooted device only (without a different kernel) it will only see what the phone can handle, hence, 806Mhz.
If you went to something like Oxygen/CM7/MIUI, they come with kernels that already have the other CPU frequencies written in and then SetCPU will see them and you will be able to select them.

But with stock kernel and rooted phone u can change governors and i/o scheuler the only thing that u cant change is cpu freq

Default settings are fine for a decent battery life. UV doesn't really increase the battery life; its used to reduce the heating when using processor intensive apps (games). But if you don't know what you are doing, its recommended that you don't change any settings.

That's really my intention. Right now I am running

I have UV about 100mV with the franco kernel app. so pretty much like what you have done and I haven't noticed any loss of performance.

Is it pretty much the consensus that undervolting w franco kernel on the N4 doesn't noticeably increase battery life?

I haven't notice any significant increase in battery life, if any. However, the device runs so much cooler than before.
I am now experimenting with 150mV UV. Haven't had any problems with stability or camera.

Undervolting can somewhat increase battery life. Undervolting is meant for lowering CPU power to reduce thermal heat and it will definitely increase the life of the CPU. It doesn't really increase battery life, it might save a little bit but not much.

Got a question for Franco kernel + Franco Kernel updater app user
Do you have the hotplug control in Frequencies/Voltages menu? It seems to be not there for me. If I flash it with stock kernel then the hotplug control is there but can't change anything. If I flash it with Franco's kernel, then the hotplug control is missing.

Franco didn't add hotplugging feature back yet. He might add it back in the next app update.

Something similar happened to me while I was using faux. You have to flash the rom first and kernel later. If you flash kernel first and then the rom some of the features on kernel settings might disappear.
Hotplug is available since quite long time.
Nothing to do with flashing Roms.

thought I'd bump instead of starting a new thread.
what's the best settings for the cpu hotplug control? I've set suspend frequency to 384000, suspend frequency is the CPU frequency when the screen if off?
cores on touch is how many CPU cores get used when screen is touched? I kept this to 2.
now I'm not too sure what first_level is used for though. so I left it at 60.
the new app is good but lacks description for some of the settings.

Do u want to apply the 'best settings' to increase battery life or performance? And I'm using the ones you have stated, pretty balanced stuff. Keep it that way

[Q&A] Samsung Kernel

While we don't have any custom kernel as of yet, there are few apps that can change how the cpu behaves.
My findings are that the app kernel adiutor works the best for changing parameters.
Hopefully we can share experience with tweaks in this thread. I have been using cpu input boost at 1305 mhz and cpu sync freq at 1344. This to prevent fast jumps to 1401 mhz and 1190 mhz.
Have you ever noticed that if you boot the device with just wifi ticked in, the cpu0 rests at 300 mhz? (While the other cores are turned off.)
Enable mobile data and the idle state becomes 1190mhz.
There is a parameter that can be changed. However this parameter is soon changed by some unspecific process.
check it with
Code:
cat /sys/power/cpufreq_min_limit
Disabling qualcomm hotplug solution makes all the cores run at 300 mhz, is it bad for battery life?
Can you solve otg problem with making custom kernel?

Yup I've been trying your stock kernel; you have implemented new governors, which are great.
I've been testing alucard and darkness since yesterday. They seem to both provide less high frequency spikes. But I will test more.

I've just tested your kernel and the freq_min_limit "problem" (or feature whatever it is) is solved.
Using mobile data, the cpu idles at 300MHZ, finally :good:
Why don't you two join forces and compile kernel with both your features? sev3n1985 's kernel with the disabled freq_min_limit. That would benefit a lot.
The next feature to include would be the quick charge. Thanks guys

Rooted phone... keeps overheating?

I just got my s7e yesterday. Found the guide on here how to root it. I did and it started having overheating issues so I downloaded kernel adiutor and put it on "on demand" as I saw posted somewhere else. This seems to work BETTER but my phone still keeps overheating frequently.

My AT&T one was, too. I went back to stock. Faster and cooler (temp). Just gonna wait for a fix.
Yeah it doesn't matter what you set it too, it will overheat more then the stock.
my phone doesn't overheat at all. stock kernel uses interactive governor not ondemand. and you need to use an app that supports big.little CPU cores like kernel toolkit or ex kernel manager. set your big CPU cores to 2.1GHz and your little cores to 1.6k GHz. if you don't know about all this you guys probably shouldn't be rooting in the first place.
I was overheating also on pb6 firmware. Flashed pb8 and re-rooted, used kernel toolkit to set interactive and cpu cores to there min 300 something and 1500 for small and 2100 for large. Then flashed tekx. All is good now. Battery life is nowhere close to stock still.

This is with using EX Kernel and big.little set to interactive. There is a problem with WiFi and some gaming that will heat this phone up hotter than hell itself.

And what firmware are you on? Did you also try flashing tekx? My phone doesn't heat up at all and WiFi is fine. Using pd8 and tekx. I had overheating but it's gone after a full wipe and flashing pd8 prior too rooting. It sounds like you just need to try again. I had problems also, it took a few tries.
If you use your phone for gaming you will see how much the phone heats up. If your using it from normal non heavy things it will be fine.
Well after switching to ex kernel, using TekX ROM, greenify, and L Speed, my phone is running almost perfect with great battery life.

That's a ****ty response........remember when you were a noob? There was a lot you didn't know....don't bash people on the forum for trying or questioning what to do. You're a senior member. You probably should act like it and give the proper advice rather than saying one "shouldn't be rooting in the first place" I need to wear a condom just reading your post because of you being a **** on the thread.
...and there is slight heating, and major overheating when playing heavy games like dead effect 2 when you root. Even after the scripts and kernel tweaks. It's the engboot. Likes to be warm I guess
It's the trade off for now if we want root..

Use MSM hotplug.If ur device warmed bit high for thermal configuration(core controll) u can't set max or min frequency to high.So let the device be cool for some time and try.For late autumn kernel don't set max. frequency to maximum.

In DU v10.6 I was using Octopus kernel v2.5.2 with Alucard Hotplug and Alucard governor and it never ever hanged or posed any problem during boot up or during Wifi power on, which is seen in DU v11.0 kernel.
