Overview

KonaBess is a straightforward application designed to customize GPU frequency and voltage tables without the need for kernel recompilation.

How it Operates

The application achieves customization by unpacking the Boot/Vendor Boot image, decompiling and editing relevant dtb (device tree binary) files, and finally repacking and flashing the modified image.

Usage Instructions

Refer to the “help” section for detailed instructions on usage.

Why “KonaBess”?

The name “Kona” corresponds to the code name of the Snapdragon 865 series.
Given that the GPU of the Snapdragon 888 exhibits a decrease in energy efficiency, KonaBess allows users to overclock the Snapdragon 865 and surpass the performance of the Snapdragon 888. This is the motivation behind the app’s creation.
Despite the compatibility with Snapdragon 888, the app retains its original name.

Performance Enhancement

The extent of improvement varies, with some users reporting a 25% reduction in power consumption in the graphics benchmark (4.2w->3.2w) after undervolting the Snapdragon 865. Actual improvement is chip-specific and contingent on stability requirements.
