# PerfMTK
**A Magisk module for MediaTek devices with Mali GPUs**
[](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK/releases)
## Overview
PerfMTK is a Magisk module specifically designed to optimize performance and power efficiency on MediaTek devices. With multiple profiles and advanced configurations, PerfMTK gives you complete control over your device's performance.
## Features
- **Specific optimizations** for MediaTek SOCs
- **Support for multiple CPU configurations** (dual-cluster, tri-cluster)
- **Power modes**:
- **`performance`** - Maximum performance
- **`balanced`** - Balance between performance and battery
- **`powersave`** - Battery saving
- **`powersave+`** - Extreme battery saving
- **Dynamic adjustment** of CPU and GPU frequencies
- **Advanced configuration** of CPU and GPU governors
- **Thermal control** with option to enable/disable thermal limitations
- **Memory optimization** with zram and swap adjustments
- **I/O improvements** with parameter optimization for UFS storage
- **Gaming enhancements** for a superior gaming experience
## Compatibility
- Device with MediaTek processor and Mali GPU
- Android 9.0 or higher
- Kernel version 4.14.x or higher
- Magisk 27 or higher installed
## Installation
1. Ensure you have Magisk installed on your MediaTek device
2. Download the latest PerfMTK zip file from the [releases page](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK/releases/latest)
3. Flash the zip file through Magisk Manager
4. During installation, you can choose which components to install:
- system.prop
- post-fs-data.sh
- service.sh
- PerfMTK Daemon (may slightly affect battery life)
5. Reboot your device
6. Enjoy optimized performance!
## Module Components
PerfMTK installs only what you choose during the installation process:
| Component | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **system.prop** | Includes system property settings to increase smoothness |
| **post-fs-data.sh** | Contains settings for important components such as cpuset, vm, mm and sched |
| **service.sh** | Includes ppm and filesystem tweaks to improve overall performance |
| **perfmtk_daemon** | Background process that identifies foreground applications and applies energy profiles according to configuration |
> [!WARNING]
> The perfmtk_daemon runs in the background to provide app-specific profiles, which may slightly increase battery consumption. If battery life is your primary concern, consider using the module without this component.
### App-specific profiles with daemon
The PerfMTK Daemon uses a configuration file called **app_profiles.conf** (located by default at `/data/local/app_profiles.conf`) to assign specific profiles to different applications. You can modify it manually or use the [PerfMTK Manager app](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK-Manager).
The default content of the app_profiles.conf file is:
```
# Configuration file for PerfMTK Daemon
# Format: package_name=energy_profile
# Default global profile when no application from the list is in the foreground
DEFAULT_PROFILE=balanced
```
You can customize it to assign different profiles to your favorite applications, for example:
```
# Configuration file for PerfMTK Daemon
# Format: package_name=energy_profile
# Default global profile when no application from the list is in the foreground
DEFAULT_PROFILE=balanced
com.tencent.ig=performance
com.miHoYo.GenshinImpact=performance
com.whatsapp=balanced
com.android.chrome=balanced
com.netflix.mediaclient=powersave
```
## Usage
### Via Terminal (e.g., Termux)
To see the complete menu:
```
su -c perfmtk
```
To change performance profiles manually:
```bash
# Maximum performance
su -c perfmtk performance
# Balanced (default)
su -c perfmtk balanced
# Battery saving
su -c perfmtk powersave
# Extreme battery saving
su -c perfmtk powersave+
```
For thermal limitation control:
```bash
# Enable thermal limitations
su -c thermal_limit enable
# Disable thermal limitations (be careful with overheating)
su -c thermal_limit disable
```
### Via PerfMTK Manager App
1. Open the [PerfMTK Manager app](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK-Manager)
2. Select the desired performance profile
3. Enable or disable thermal limitations according to your needs
4. Configure specific profiles for your favorite applications
📥 **Download**: [Latest version of PerfMTK Manager](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK-Manager/releases/latest)
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues:
1. Make sure you're using the latest version of PerfMTK
2. Verify that your device is compatible
3. Try rebooting your device after making changes
4. If problems persist, please report the issue in the [GitHub issues section](https://github.com/JUANIMAN/PerfMTK/issues) with detailed information about your device and the problem you're experiencing.
