Manually setting a scaling governor does _not_ forcibly increase the intended frequency range of the CPU clock! Setting the scaling governor has more to do with performance management. In my case, setting it to “performance”, it simply forces the cpu to always run at the maximum frequency _as designed by the manufacturer_. Further reading here and here. Thank you @nocteb@feddit.org for the reminder!\n\nEDIT2: the tablet is rooted with Magisk ( topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html ) and Termux is running with superuser privileges granted through Magisk. The below command was issued _after_ `su -` ing into a root shell. “performance” was `echo` ed into _all_ available `/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/…/scaling_governor`s, meaning, there are several subdirectories called `policy[0…]` in which the `scaling_governor ` files reside.\n\nEDIT: echo ing “performance” to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor seems to have maxed out the cpu clockspeed! Now the tablet is snappy as hell! It’ll be interesting to see how battery drain and heat are affected by this. Thank you @tal@lemmy.today !\n\nSay, by sending some value to something inside `/sys/…/cpu` or the likes. I have already aggressively debloated the tablet, but I like to experiment and I am not afraid to destroy the tablet since I bought it for 150 bucks at sale. Or pehaps there is some Magisk module that can do this?\n\nThe tablet is a Samsung Galaxy A9+.",
