No-frills CPU Control (v. 1.26-r1) Разработано SINÉO |
No-frills CPU Control is a tool you can use on your rooted [1] device to quickly set the CPU frequencies and governor to use.
It allows you to use the highest frequency your phone supports and gain some precious FPS in your preferred game, or go down to the lowest frequency and gain some more juice when your phone is sitting idle.
All of this without any memory footprint or services running in the background!
It has been reported working on a large number of rooted [1] devices: HTC Dream/G1, Magic, Desire, Desire HD, Nexus One, Incredible, Hero, Desire Z/G2, EVO 4G, Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S, ZTE Blade, Huavei Ideos U8150 and U8109, LG Optimus One, Optimus Dual/G2X, Optimus Black, Motorola Flipout, Droid 2 and Milestone, Acer Liquid A1, Sony Xperia X8, X10, W8, even Advent Vega, Archos 43 IT and Nook Color!
It does NOT work on Flytouch tablets, Zenithink zt180, HaiPad M7/Tabtech M7 or fake HTC clones. Sorry about that, but you knew what you were buying when you did... didn't you?
Is your device supported? You need ROOT permissions and you'll probably need to be running a CUSTOM ROM (an example is the famous CyanogenMod) with kernel frequency scaling enabled. If you are unsure... just install the app and see for yourself!
If you need a custom ROM for your phone, the best places to find one are XDA [http://forum.xda-developers.com], MoDaCo [http://android.modaco.com/] or similar forums.
Be wary of the frequencies you select! Your phone may lock or become unresponsive if it doesn't like extreme values, but -hey- better safe than sorry: even though No-frills CPU Control allows you to choose if you want to apply the settings on boot, it comes with an extra "safety valve" too! If the device doesn't shut down (or reboot) in a clean way, it will not apply the settings, avoiding those nasty boot-loops you may have had with other overclocking apps. Please keep in mind that apps like QuickBoot are as quick as they are unsafe…
FEATURES:
- Easy GUI to set frequencies, governor and i/o scheduler
- "safety valve" to avoid boot-loops in case of unsafe settings (more info in the homepage)
- Stats screen to see the effective usage of frequencies
No-frills CPU Control is open source under Apache 2.0 license. You can find the source code, more informations and you can ask for questions on its project post directly on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911917
SUPPORT: If you have any problems, before you write a negative comment, write an email or go to the homepage to get answers. I CANNOT ANSWER COMMENTS ON THE MARKET!
If I don't reply you or solve your problem, then go ahead and post a negative comment.
HINT: If you can't find the email of the developer, use the "Send CPU data" feature from the main screen, instead, and add your questions.
This app is FREE and will always be FREE.
Translations are ALWAYS welcome and are now as easy as getting a (free) account to http://www.getlocalization.com/noFrillsCPU/ and correcting what's wrong or filling what's missing. A HUGE "THANK YOU!" to all the people who helped translating this app!

Uzunboy)
Starting with version 1.21 the app has a new look & feel matching the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and has dropped support for older Android releases (1.6 and 2.0). Don't worry! There's a new app, No-frills CPU Control CLASSIC which will always have the same features as the classic app with the old look & feel!

[2013-02-14] A Google User: Excellent App... :D This app is Excellent... Working gr8 on my Sony Xperia Neo V Must have app for Unlocked Bootloader phones :) |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: Simply Awesome! All u need is a custom kernel loaded and ur ready to rock with this app! |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Not working Doesn't seem to work on Galaxy SIII Mini. |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Excellent!!! No other app beats this.. :)) |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Xperia u Easy and effective, although I installed it recently, lets see if it keeps on giving me this performance, but for the moment it seems to do what it says, good job by the devs. |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Samsung infuse 4g I like the layout the best |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Cannot apply even with root... |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: It has virus . Trojan 2012 virus . I reformatted my phone because of this . Dont use this |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: sooo excellent! |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Yh Di naman mashadong maganda |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: nice confirm! |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: t t |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Awesome Very Good |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Yay :D |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: Ok Not as good as CPU cruise control for sometime using no custom ROM. Smaller and works better than this. The settings in this app still act like ondemand leading to poor battery use |
|
[2013-01-23] A Google User: galaxy y great |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Best one yet. The option to not let other apps or system change settings is great it stops random governor changes from a flakey kernel |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Samsung galaxy s Excellent app!! |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Great app Great app |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Good Awesome tweaking Love it |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Great app Easy as 123 |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Works Great ....... |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Great app This particular app is lightweight and safer than others of the same kind. For those who doesnt know what it does if it cant overclock your device: It helps me gain performance in gaming time and battery juice during long travels. I achieved 2 days backup with normal usage.B-) |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: Worked ok. It worked pretty good after tweaking the max value my cpu would take, until it started crashing. Worked like a champ for about an hour them tablet crashed and rebooted. |
|
[2013-01-15] A Google User: App suck Ya |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Wish I could use it on unrooted phones, when I could use it on unrooted phones I'll put it back on my droid. For now I uninstalled |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Great app! Easy to use! |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Simply works Makes my ZTE Blade run games smoothly. Easy to use, but still cannot understand the governor settings (I used trial and error) |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Works Droid razr maxx Doesn't allow you to over clock, just letting you know ahead of time. Good if you want extra battery life. 800mhz is good enough for like everything except for games. I'll see how much battery it saves. Also, choose hotplug and noop. |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Excellent Replaced SetCPU Free with this, and was surprised at the immediate improvement (not sure why, perhaps SetCPU was consuming CPU itself, or too much memory, or it was doing something with my multi-core unit). In any case, this does what it's supposed to do with no special permissions required. Very clean interface, and it auto-recovers if you overclock and your phone reboots. Nice work! |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: A+ |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Excellent I have downloaded and tried a few other CPU managers and I think this is the best one. Very simple easy way to choose the values you wish and apply them. Also I'm on transform ultra so you can add that to the list. Awesome app, highly recommend it. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Pretty good app but had problems This seems to be an issue for most jelly bean users. Whenever you want to change frequencies most of the time it doesn't really stay on that frequency. Reverted back to ics. No problems ever since then. -Samsung Galaxy S3 t999 |
|
[2013-01-09] A Google User: Nice Nice |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Satisfied Easy to use, offers only few settings but works flawlessly |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Runs perfectly Before I use this app, my galaxy Y was slow and laggy. After I use custom rom (Jellyblast v3) and use this app, my phone was blazingly fast! My settings : Min 624 max 832 gov: bcm21553 I/O : cfq |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Superb app Let's the is flow freely. Reduces lag and enhences the user friendliness. Superb app. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Overclocks overclocks cpu without a custom rom on my galaxy nexus. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Great must have app Great app I tested on arc s nexus s and amaze 4g. It can't pull the history on amaze that is the only reason for 4 star |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Awesome Easy to use.... verrryyy easy to use. BTW, guys who are asking why the max is at where it is, its not the app. And its not the CPU either, well kinda.. its the ROM you use that determines the max CPU. Cm10 got me to 1ghz a different ROM got me 1.4ghz. So it all depends on your set up. |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: No-frills It really good |
|

|

|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Great! |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: doing the job no worries. it works! don't forget the root and update to a good kernel for better overclocking. |

|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Wonderfull This will help to speed up my mobile performence |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: The best! :D This app has really improved my Xperia Pro! From fast and responsive it took it to very fast and instantly responsive :D :D Just need root and config this app to keep the CPU minimum 800MHz / maximum 1024MHz, and your phone will fly :D!! This way I avoided having to flash an overclockable ROM! This app really works :D 1000 stars! I love you developer! :D Just could use a little explanation for the configs! :D |

[2012-11-20] A Google User: Incredible best app for GADMEI 3D without-glasses i test all CPU Control on the Market on my GADMEI T883-3D without-glasses tablet but this is the BEST i found for my 3d tablet. What is incredible about your CPU Control is my CPU now go down to only 100 MHZ (from 300 Mhz before) so it extend batery life of my 3d tablet by 300%. Now when i play 3D 1080p movies without glasses from MicroSD card on it, it use only 100 MHZ CPU power, i see that with COOL TOOLS, it display the power CPU usage in real time i love it |
