Battery, thermal and general cpu optimization



Just confirming that this post from the Z5 forum: here does indeed work on the z3 single sim(probably dual sim as well, can't see why not).

These tweaks are based on the Heimdall governor used in this post

Tweaks reduces heat, optimizes the performance and increase the battery life.

Check them out!

[APP][Yureka Thermal Control][Gaming][Balanced][Conservative]



The Yureka Thermal Control is an android application written by me for rooted users of YU Yureka+/Yureka, this app gives you the ability to change the thermal configuration of your device. This will help the users to switch according to their requirements, I consider this a very useful application for all Yureka users since no one is satisfied with the performance to heat ratio.

The Yureka Thermal Control has four different settings explained below, if you use this app, make sure to test for minimum 12 hours before saying anything, you cannot judge anything just by 1 hour of usage. Below is the explanation of the available settings -


1. Gaming -
Using the gaming thermal config will help gamers and heavy users, this option is meant for those who don't like cores turning off quickly even with mild heat. With this config, cores will not be hotplugged easily, cores will start hotplugging only when cpu temperatures are above 56-58 range, hence gamers and heavy users won't face any lags with extended usage.

2. Balanced -
This is the thermal config which comes inbuilt with my builds of RR Rom, this is a precisely tweaked version of the stock Yureka thermal config. The stock config only turns off cores when device heats, in addition to that this config will also ramp down cpu and gpu frequency by one step. This helps in further reduction of heat with mild battery backup improvement.

3. Conservative -
The conservative thermal config is meant for those users who don't use many heavy applications on their device, this config is slightly more aggressive in terms of throttling and hotplugging compared to the balanced config. This config controls heating to a great extent at the cost of mild performance drop which is only noticeable in heavy games.

4. Ultimate -
The ultimate thermal config is meant for those who have light usage like internet messaging or browsing the web and basic phone operations. This config will control heat generation most aggressively at the cost of performance drop. Since throttling and hotplugging is fastest with this config, battery backup will also be increased with this config.

Compatibility -
Yureka thermal control is only for rooted users.
Tested on lollipop and marshmallow roms.
Don't try this on other devices.

Instructions -
Install the yureka thermal control application
Select the desired configuration
Press apply button
Reboot device

Important -
This app requires root permissions and will replace your /system/etc/thermal-engine.conf, If you want to verify which thermal config you are using, find a file named thermal in your internal sdcard and open it as text, your current thermal config status will be written there.

Disable thermal throttle?



First things first, I understand the dangers of this, and that I could fry my device. I'm just looking for answers, not lectures. :)

I'm wondering how to go about disabling (or at least fixing) the thermal throttle on my device. I'm not sure how other people's HAM2's act in regards to this, but mine seems hyper-sensitive. It's near-impossible to use in the summer, even in the shade. It's warm to the touch, yes, but hardly hot enough to make everything freeze and lag like crazy.
It's running PAC on build 11.27.15 (5.1). It was running beautifully in the winter, but it's becoming a bear to deal with now. Is there a way to either disable it or set the trigger temperature higher (preferred)? I can monitor it if it's disabled, but I would prefer to simply set it higher if that's an option (or at least, to not allow it to throttle as severely). I'd appreciate some help with this.
