CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

is there a small application to put the CPU in overclock or whathever performance setting like they made in liqbase ? but without all of Liqbase ?


thank you

If you have a n810, install SlideLock by Jgallen23 ( http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19386 ) and hack it as suggested in my post.
Otherwise, do as Qole writes in http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22353

thank you,

I have a n800; I will try Qole's tricks but it would be nice to have a simple desktop applet to do it with the flick of a switch.

and what might i ask is wrong with all of liqbase? :P

Re: CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

liqbase is real good at what it's meant to do; it's just not what I'm looking for.

but yes, you made a very good piece of software. and thank you for your high above average contribution to the community. :D

in the same way of thinking, I don't want to install Maemo Mapper or Canola; doesn't mean it's not good.

Hi!

Im working on a home switcher written in python. It will allow you to turn things on and off from the home screen.

Re: CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

heh, chill - was only pullin your leg.
Its quite simple to get the cpu throttling adjustments.

liqbase does it by calling a small script when you change.


"sudo /usr/bin/liqbase-cpu-powersave"
"sudo /usr/bin/liqbase-cpu-ondemand"
"sudo /usr/bin/liqbase-cpu-performance"

(scripts were added into sudoers list as part of installation)

Theres nothing stopping you calling those scripts yourself or writing variations thereof.

Re: CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

thank you,
I will try it even if I'm a scripting newbie :D

this was a very valuable find to help the small cpu

Re: CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

Hmmm...I think I need to reinstall liqbase to look at those scripts.

My proposed variation, when I have free time (Ha!) is to write a daemon that will change the CPU settings depending on 3 things:

1. On charger

   run at highest CPU speed

2. Sufficient battery remaining

   run at normal (on-demand) CPU speed

   the value of "sufficient" would be set by the user...probably 75% as a default

3. Low battery

   run at a lower (power-saving) CPU speed

This really shouldn't be too hard...and should all be possible as a small python script.

z2n,
we were having this discussion and theres already a program around which starts to do this, but it also accounts for your backlight as well.

acmonitor will set the backlight level based on your charging status, I hacked it to also deal with cpu settings.
The only reason why I never released it was because there wasnt a clean UI.

The extra thing I would want to add to this would be control for when I locked my device.
Because I know when I slide the lock I am done for a while I would want the cpu in powersave and the net disconnected as well.

I started to put together a profile settings screen for all of this, I'll try to find the notes I did.

Thanks, lcuk. Works as advertised!!!

For now,

Simplest way to run the commands: inz's osso-statusbar-cpu
Simplest way to check results: RSS Home applet automatic scrolling

Enjoy!

Re: CPU turbocharging/throttling application
 

Simplest way to check the results: install the homecpu app, it shows your CPU speed on the home screen.
