This app is NOT compatible with Jolla C (yet). This is a old package, created when no one is knew about Jolla C. Maybe I will update it to be compatible with Jolla C.
To remove it from your Jolla C, run this command:
rpm -e --noscripts betterperformance

awesome - the above line has fixed my warehouse issue (see below), many thanks.
Is there a list of dependencies installed so i can avoid any bloatware?
More thanks in advance:)

I don't have Jolla C yet. When I will get it, I will update this package.

Really hope I'm not spamming here but this answer works a treat for me:

answer 1
just changed ondemand to performance and left out the minfreq line. jolla c definitely snappier but bit more drain.

Sadly no joy on jolla c. app just says 'PERFORMANCE STATUS: INACTIVE'and quits.
Auto remove via warehouse doesn't work either.

Please could you also list, or point to one, the various dependencies the app installs?
I've got some weird behaviour I'd like to track down.

It doesn't seem to work on MotoG port, and also I can't remove it. I get this:

----

Any idea how I can remove it?

I never tried on ported devices...
For manual remove, run this commands as ROOT:

systemctl stop betterperformance.service systemctl disable betterperformance.service /bin/rm -rf /lib/systemd/system/betterperformance.service /bin/rm -rf /usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance /bin/rm -rf /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop /bin/rm -rf /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/betterperformance-off.png /bin/rm -rf /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/betterperformance-on.png echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor

If last one not work for you (from your log), probably your device not have this file...

Works perfect on 1.1.9.28. This app is a must-to if you want a super smooth experience of the Sailfish on your Jolla. After install and activate Better Performance, the Sailfish GUI acts like a butter :) Thank you for this great idea!
