    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Hi, I got the Kestrel.txt file, which I believe is the right one to load with ExKernel Manager. Believe it or not I did not find any tip anywhere about the folder where I should put it. Ex Kernel Manager looks for it in proc/ or in sys/ - is there a folder you may suggest in our Mi4C...? Thanks...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    I think (but can't prove consistently yet) that the Kestrel script I've been testing here really improves general battery performance. However the Snapdragon processor doesn't help: it is definitely a processor that gets very hot doing some simple tasks. The governor I am using is the...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Well, usually I am a light phone user but now I am on a tour doing a heavy use of the phone: GPS plus GPS software (meaning the screen ON all the time between road stops), plus GSM data connection (for maps processing), plus one call once in a while, plus e-mail and Facebook once in a while...

    Developer Rom With Best Battery Life

    That's why I am trying a different way to deal with these battery and heating problems, managing the governor parameters - with the precious help of @Raventlov . Have a look here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/heating-problems-roms-apps-settings.33036/

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    A last thought for today: If you are one of those guys who update the rom every week, remember that you will have to root the phone every week (installing SuperSu?), and run the profile scrip every week (because you will have to reboot the phone during rom updates). So if you are a software...

    Developer Rom With Best Battery Life

    I had an Audiutor bad experience: I changed values and after a while default settings came back all the time. Never understood why. I am going in a different direction now... hope that it works...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Besides governor parameters, it might be important for a lot of guys aroud here (like me) - with battery and heating problems - to understand if we should or should not have the "developer options" ON, because there are a lot of settings that might mess with the device performance. If we should...

    Ok, I'm in, i'm done, testing time...! [- hope the red error is not serious - I used a different network to do this (GSM data connection and the phone as AP), before it was the home wi-fi...(???) - As always, regarding Linux and great guides like yours, I just follow the steps but I do not...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Well... not sure what you mean: there's a first window where I tried to set a session pressing a button in the top bar and I did put root as username and the remote host as shown in the phone.

    Ok... so for some one who reboot the phone often the app ExKernel Manager might be a better option, perhaps...? For now my MobaXterm does not accept 'admin' as a password or another issue is playing around ;-) I'll get into that later... Thanks again...!

    Developer Rom With Best Battery Life

    Guys feel free to have a look to this new thread. It just widen a little bit our perspective of battery and heating issues. Chassing for the "best" rom is not a way of living... for me... ---> https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/heating-problems-roms-apps-settings.33036/ All the best

    You mean, if we reboot the phone we have to install the scrip again...? Thanks for your answers...!

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Just a couple of points before anyone try the scrip option to control the governor (because we are going deeper into the phone managing - not just looking for the best or worse ROM): 1- can this process be undone, how...? 2- is this process compatible with any rom including Miui 8+...? 3- is it...

    Got it - we have all the links needed above...! Thanks...! PS: if you find some time please do the mini guide for the scrip option - it would be very nice to have that too here...! Thanks for all the help...! EDIT: ok crossing thoughts - you already made the guide while I was posting....! Great...

    That would be very nice, even though I think I still have to get more knowledge about this stuff. Paying for the app is not a problem - besides the Interactive governor, is the Kestrel profile there too...? can you manage it from the app...? Thanks!

    EX Kernel Manager is a paid app. No problem about that if it works better than Adiutor... Kestrel is a Governor that comes with EX Kernel Manager, right...?

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    I am very tempted to try that... but I need some time to understand all that. The difference between having the app or having the script, and then all that Linux guru thing: giving permissions, rename without extension, etc... Need time to read about it... Kernel Adiutor is not working as I...
