Can't change CPU max frequency

[giacky98]

Hi, I'm using the ROM MIUI 3.5.17 and I'm trying to change the maximum CPU frequency to save battery (the power consuption in this ROM is huge) but, after I successful change it, after some minutes (usually about 10-15) the maximum CPU frequency is restored at 1.7GHz... (I'm on a 32GB Mi2S). What can I do to keep the frequency I want? Or, instead, is it possible to change the settings that the MIUI power switch is going to change? The best thing would be to set the Normal mode to use a 1.4 - 1.5 GHz maximum frequency, but still with the ability to switch to Performance mode at 1.7GHz

There's no way to change some core cpu parameters without kernel source, which we don't have. You can try to use different governor with Set CPU or limit cpu frequency. Or search forum for custom kernel for MI2 that have unblocked init.d functionality.

I wouldn't say there is no way with root and the ability to load kernel modules, but source makes it much easier
