Themes / Apps / Mods Magisk Module for "Underclock conversions" to various chipsets. Less heat, greater battery life, more than sufficient performance. - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Update4: Added a couple of new options for you guys to test out. Personally, I'm currently testing out the 778G Gaming version. Feel free to try them out to determine which options work best for your usage habits. (FYI, the 778G Daily version is going to cause perceptible delays in photos and 4k videos recording)
UPDATE3: Finally managed to test it. Phone temps are much better. Weather over at my location is around 32-25C, with AC turned at 26C, I'm getting phone battery temps of maximum 36C during use, generally stays around 34-35C.
UPDATE2: Just received my replacement 11U, now waiting for the 7 days unlock waiting period
UPDATE1: Added a translated version of the module. Untested.
Note: Please do not post or discuss about performance benchmarks. Regular use and gaming are not affected.
My 11 Ultra got it's wifi chip fried a couple of days ago. The service centre is now processing a new replacement for me. (I work in China so there's that).
In the midst of this extremely annoying debacle. I've looked at various threads and went down the rabbit hole in Chinese forums. Apparently there's a Magisk module that underclocks the CPU and GPU which results in greatly improved thermals. It was a pain in the butt to source this magisk module since Chinese users love asking for people to PM them to share the module. Long story short, took me an hour of searching to find the module.
I've looked through the contents of the magisk module and it does indeed just underclocks the CPU and GPU. Feel free to look at the files inside the zip.
Basically this module does the following
Underclocks X1 core from 2.84ghz to 2.49ghz
Reduces performance by 13%, reduces power consumption by 32%
Underclocks A78 cores from 2.42ghz to 2.23ghz
Reduces performance by 5%, reduces power consumption by 14%
Underclocks GPU from 840mhz to 608mhz
Reduces performance by 27%, reduces power consumption by 54%
This module will result in the SD888 performing around the same level (if not better than) of the SD870 whilst being more efficient than the SD870. User reports the battery temp during regular use as reported by Miui will sit in the range of 30-34C. During gaming it will be around 42C after 1-2 hours of MOBA gaming
Once I receive my replacement device, I'll give this a try and update OP

can't believe this works, feels much smoother now.

You can feel the results immediately? Probably due to the processor not throttling as much. Do feedback on the heat generation reduction

From my personal testing so far I can tell that battery life is improved, can't say the same for temps thought, probably a couple of degrees cooler average. 'llI reserve more time for testing the battery life as I need more battery cicles to really tell the difference if there is any. Is there any way to check the actual CPU frequency via terminal emulator?

From what I've read in the discussion posts by the original chinese developer. They use something called perfmon. I believe you'll require both the app and the magisk module.

Pretty much yes. However kernel auditor set them post boot. This magisk module sets them on boot. Or you could always implement a init.d solution.

Red Magic Vs OnePlus 5T speed test

Hello guys, I've got the OnePlus 5T and I was looking to upgrade to the Red Magic eventually but after watching that speed test video https://youtu.be/okGb8lqg8fA I don't see the RM being any faster and the active cooling seems to be a gimmick of some sort as it runs hotter than the OnePlus 5T as shown in that video. I know the firmware is not final but I seriously doubt they'll do any miracles especially in the stock version...but in the same time I'm scared of getting the Chinese version because it probably won't support Play Store and so on. What do you guys think, should I keep the OP5T?
Well hopefully we'll see more optimization before long on the RM. I haven't had any heat issues, and it has seemed cooler than most. Even when I was running an app to intentionally drain the battery by activating everything it didn't get that hot.
Overall for general performance, you won't see much performance difference between the two. They use a lot of the same components. Theoretically you should see some performance gains with game boost on because it locks the last four cores to their max frequency. No operations used trying to dynamically adjust. Really depends on if the app would even benefit from the frequency boost though.

I guess if the game button triggers the full potential of the CPUs that's why it heats up more than the OP5T which never runs on 100% but somehow manages pretty much the same frame rates. You must be right about whether an app can actually utilise the full potential or not.

How much battery and CPu temp you have while idle?

can anyone post "cpu throttling test" results for k20 pro?

app is available on playstore named "cpu throttling test", you need to keep the device idle atleast for 5-10mins before starting the test, run the test in foreground for 10 mins, dont use the phone while the test is going on. Also how are the thermals like whe playing pubgm on extreme fps on this device?
Chinese Miui 10.3.11 8/128
Big core clocked down after 2mins, then after 4:30 all cores started downclocking
This is the results I've got

Hahaha...? With Malakas Kernel I have score around 160,000 GIPS after 15 minutes and with unthermal module I have score around 190,000 GIPS with my Pocophone F1 after the same time. So we certainly need custom Kernels for these new phones...

remember to take the results with a grain of salt. judging from the reviews it's not always accurate. don't remember the exact weather conditions but i wasn't in a sauna or anything. probably was around 25°C
You haven't seen my Mi 5s which has stock Rom. It throttles by nearly 50% of max speed after ~4 minutes of use and even disables one of the two high performance cores. In other words, games start to lag after 4-5 minutes.
So I'm happy to see that this doesn't happen here
Hey guys, can someone please direct me to a resource on "unthermal module" for Pocophone? Is it a kernel that allows modification of the termal throttling values?
Thanks a lot!
I did 2 tests, one with Game Turbo On and the other Off.
It throttled when Game Turbo was Off.

Those brown shiny strips on my phone cover are copper tapes. Got them off Lazada / Shoppee for around RM10. i.e. USD 3.
I think they could help distribute heat on the back of the phone over a larger area.

It still throttles, but not that badly as before. You can compare my Min score with the other users.
Meanwhile could you also run the same test and post your Min Max Average scores? Would be nice if there's more data for everyone to benchmark against

[EXPERIMENTAL] Throttling and it's caveats

While being owner of my Redmi Note 7, which definitely has some issues, I started experimenting with it.
Throttling is a common term amongst electronics and such. It's a way to safe our precious silicon from eventually cooking under high temperatures. There're a lot of issues involved here. Let me explain:
Xiaomi's belief is maximizing battery life while forgetting about optimal device's performance. Here's the issue, though - neither of which are properly calibrated. For a battery of this size, you would expect something better, but it's not. Looking through system files, there are several thermal config files, which simply tells to the thermal-engine binary at what state device should throttle. Sounds like a good idea, right? Yeah, not quite.
Upon opening these exact config files you see several lines, which describe temperature thresholds and which frequency device should start to use under it's determined state. There's more to this - GPU gets less voltage when it's getting warmer, thus reducing the ability for GPU to reach higher power levels. Everything would be great, if the device wouldn't start to throttle it's clocks at 45° degrees, which is basically nothing.
After seeing device's guts it's safe to state, that our phone has proper cooling done to it. Sure, it's basic, but with that much space and the price this phone is built for, you couldn't ask for better cooling.
So, what can you do to it?
There're several solutions.
-Deleting thermal-engine entirely and forgetting about the problem. Here's the thing, though - it's really dangerous, because not only you lose the ability to monitor your battery's temperature, you could cook your phone while charging. Charging throttling is a thing too, when phone slows down pulling current from a wall as soon as you are doing something intensive. It's a dirty fix with a lot of risks involved.
-Modifying thermal config tables. This way you could ensure device's safety while having optimal device's performance.
-Mounting hugeass cooler at the back of your phone or better yet - mounting cooler straight to the cpu silicon. Jokes aside, this is not recommended at all, unless you're insane and don't care about sacrificing device's size.
I'm actually thinking about making completely custom thermal tables and make them compatible with Magisk. Even if Magisk method wouldn't ensure enough confidence, I will make flashable zip for recovery flashers. Everyone's happy.
FAQ
-But the device has kernel level throttling monitor. That one works too, right?
-Yes, but it does not do anything related to cpu clock management and such. All it does is turning off your device entirely when undesirable temperatures are reached. Thermal-engine is what's monitoring temperatures and adjusting clocks when necessary. Kernel level throttling is there for additional safety, in case thermal-engine is not working properly.
-My device runs great. Why bother modifying what Xiaomi did?
-It's up to you to do anything with your purchase. If you are happy, it's fine, leave it as it is.
-I noticed hugely increased benchmark scores and games working smoother after deleting thermal-engine. Is that normal?
-Exactly. Here's your answer to what thermal-engine actually does. It hampers our device too much.
-When are you going to research this modification?
-As soon as I'm free from doing routinal things: school, job, home and such.

Most of the custom roms reuse already available binaries and stuff from MIUI, unless dev is clever enough to transition fully to CAF, so it should work, I think.
From what I've seen, MIUI is not any different when it comes to thermal configurations. Both of them use the same binary and same configs (they might be changed, not sure)

General TIP (Test in Progress): Better thermals and battery life via Konabess

Just wanted to share with you guys about the this Konabess - GPU overclocking app. Needs root obviously.
So what does it do? Its an overclocking utility. Which means you can over/underclock and over/undervolt the GPU.
Many of us on the 11 series are experiencing overheating issues and battery life issues. (I myself am, what a ****ty 5000mah battery and horrible heating problems)
So what you can do with this, and my recommendation is to add a lower GPU frequency and at the same time undervolting all of the frequencies.
Just tested it today GMT+8 2021-7-10. What I did is just simply added a 200mhz clock speed and undervolted each frequency by 2 levels. Will see if this helps with the heating and the battery life.
NOTE: This is not a support page or a tutorial. Just a share post.
You guys can refer to this page [TuT] [Guide] Undervolt / Overclock SD865 -Updated 03/14 which is a rather good reference and starting point.
Did you check my battery thread?
Honestly if I would ever make changes to the clocks it would be for increasing the speed and never to decrease
Miui.eu with some debloats. Yeah I did. Some people want more speeds but others want better thermals and battery life.

Just tested it today GMT+8 2021-7-10. What I did is just simply added a 200mhz clock speed and undervolted each frequency by 2 levels. Will see if this helps with the heating and the battery life.
NOTE: This is not a support page or a tutorial. Just a share post.
You guys can refer to this page [TuT] [Guide] Undervolt / Overclock SD865 -Updated 03/14 which is a rather good reference and starting point.

Question Any idea if 12.0 rom has better thermals than the 12.5 roms?

Has anyone compared if the 12.0 releases have better thermal performance as compared to the 12.5 release?
My K20Pro running on 12.0 is much cooler than my 11Ultra running 12.5. Sure, people have been saying that the snapdragon 888 runs hot but at the same time I've been seeing reports that other devices include the Redmi Note series are also experiencing heat issues after updating to 12.5.
Honestly for me heating has never been an issue, what do you think a good thermal would be like for you?
Probably like not reaching 39C for anything non-gaming or video calling activity?
Mine is not reaching it
Good for you. Many others are unfortunate like me
What is your room temp?

I felt the same way. I used it for 2 days with 12.0.9 when i got the mi11ultra and i didnt feel the heat. When i updated to 12.5 e felt it.
wondering if its possible to downgrade without bootloader unlocked?

Room temp doesn't matter, not when it comes to the 11Ultra. With AC on at a comfy 24C as opposed to just a fan with a room temp of 29C its still the same heating issues just a matter of the ramp up time for heat.

Damn, so its much better on 12.0.9? I'm going to flash 12.0.9 this weekend. AFAIK, downgrading either way will require a wipe and I think you'll need to unlock BL either way.
May be not what you are looking for, I rooted the phone for CustoMIUIzer tweak. I also installed Franco kernal and there I underclocked the kernal CPU by 25% (75% working) and optimized its GPU. This has dramatically improved the thermals and battery performance. Idle temp of the phone drops to 25C regularly. For the past one day, it has not reached 37C when doing routine browsing, calling and texting etc. The temp jumped to 40C during HD video playback, and once to 41C while playing angry birds. During quick charging at high ambient temp, it touched 44C once. Normally with the Mi quick wireless charger (80W), the temp variates between 40-43C.
Im yet to notice the anticipated drop in performance of the phone. For routine games and HD video playback, 75% performance of this beast is enough so far. It is as smooth as it is supposed to be.

Buy the fastest most expensive cpu on the market and then cripple it!?
You could have just bought a mid ranger and saved a pile of money.....

According to my daily use of the phone, I do not need the full processor power. Seventy-five percent power is enough for that. For some long tasks, such as reading a lengthy pdf or google maps on a road trip, even 50% CPU power may be enough, granting enhanced battery performance and heat management. For the most intensive tasks, I can restore it to its original might (or even overclock it for that matter) just by toggling a switch, if that shall be desired. Options are good to have. A software fix and aggressive management of heat officially by Xiaomi, the point here by OP, will be welcomed of course.

actually a snap865 is really really fast and more then capable of running everything except gamming in comparison, and if you don't game high 3d games then you don't need the full power of the snap888 which is 25% faster.
I actually paid 850€ for mostly the camera and the media comfort, so i have to agree with hellodrsoul, if your main goal is have a phone for this purposed(no hardcore gaming) then capping it is a good thing,
also yeah Xiaomi is lacking in the optimization department.
on March everyone was stating in news about the mi 11 ultra
World’s First Full Phase Change Heat Dissipation Technology​either it sucks or xiaomi software team is at blame.

The CPU is smart enough to not run at 100% when it's not necessary......

Yes, it generally is smart enough but it is overheating for some people. There, one has to intervene...

Hold on, Franco Kernel Manager you mean? I don't believe there's a custom kernel yet

Yes, Franco Kernal manager. The link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel
You are right. There are no custom kernals available yet. But the FKM has the option to underclock the CPU and GPU and for me it works flawlessly.
