OC Governor - Xoom General

Hi!
I am using TEAM EOS MZ-604 nightly.
Which Kernel does it have?
is it using Tiamat AOSP Kernel 3.0.5?
And i would like to have power save Governor.
How can i contact about it?

someone?
I dont know how can i send message to solarnz or somtin'

They are available in the IRC channel:
asimov.freenode.net
#xoom

You should be able to flash 3.0.5 with that nightly if that's what you're looking for.

The very latest nightly has Tiamat 3.0.8.
We don't have the powersave governor, however the default is interactive. If you're looking for a governor that doesn't clock the tablet up too much, try the ondemand or conservative governor.

Glad to see Solarnz here. I had a question about governors too. I know on my Galaxy Nexus, most of the kernels come with Hotplug and the like that disable one of the cores when not in use. Are there any governors for the Xoom that perform the same function? IMO's learnkernel has HotplugX and (i believe his own) InteractiveX (which performs the hotplug function in addition to being an interactive gov). Why don't we see this sort of development on the Xoom? Not that I'm demanding it or anything. Just surprised to not see more mention of it. Do we not need it? Is our Tegra hardware vastly different in operation?

No. It was written for an older kernel. And overclocking is not built into the rom yet anyway.
No, but...
You could use some other stuff like zram and io scheduler. Also change your CPU governer to either conservative or performance. Performance uses more battery. These can all be found in Settings>Performance. Makes it a lot faster.
Bump? Thank you for the zram and io scheduler paths.

[Q] Kernel/Tool with CPU+GPU clock profiles?

Hi!
I'm looking for a kernel that supports both CPU+GPU over/under-clocking.
And more importantly, I need a tool which also lets me create easily appliable profiles for both clocks.
ATM, I'm using franco.kernel R142, with his tool. It supports profiles, but only for CPU clocks.
Thanks!

Yes, I know it is. But...
Caveat emptor :
1. You can only underclock. No overclock.
2. You can't set GPU clocks as part of the Power Profiles.
Any suggestions?

I don't think it's a good idea to overclock the GPU. The adreno 320 GPU is quite efficient and delivers great performance in it's default settings.
May I ask why do you want to over clock it?

Hahaha... Only for novelty purposes, and the heck of it... I haven't noticed lag in anything actually.
In fact, I tried running MC4 and NFS MW at the CPU at 1.1 GHz, with 400 MHz GPU - no lag. 1.5 GHz is overkill, IMO.
Mainly I need underclock. Which franco supports. BUT, I simply need profiles.
I want to set up lower GPU clocks for lower CPU clocks, for just internet browsing and stuff.
And, vice versa for gaming. If not over-clock, just default GPU clock speeds for gaming.
Any ideas/apps?

FAQ:
Hopefully this answers some common questions.
I will add to this as kernel changes are made.
On UnSenseROM Jelato, there is a script in /system/etc/init.d called 00_vdd_levels if I recall the name exactly.
It's essentially a text file that should be either deleted, or remove the ## from the name of it so it doesn't run at boot.
Then whatever app is used to control governors and clock speeds will not get reset upon rebooting, whether you use the built in CPU Controls or No Frills, etc,..
On my other roms, the same rule applies, if there is a script in /system/etc/init.d with vdd levels in the name, remove it or rename it.
On NuSenseX ROM you should be careful touching anything in init.d, or you could break your wifi connection.
Soon, I intend to have kernels that will be baked into each rom, and there will be no need to concern oneself with any of this, and it's really nothing of much concern anyhow.
But I think that about covers most cases...
____
GOVERNORS
1) Ondemand:
Default governor in almost all stock kernels.
One main goal of the ondemand governor is to switch to max frequency as soon as there is a CPU activity detected to ensure the responsiveness of the system.
Effectively, it uses the CPU busy time as the answer to "how critical is performance right now" question.
So Ondemand jumps to maximum frequency when CPU is busy and decreases the frequency gradually when CPU is less loaded/apporaching idle.
Even though many of us consider this a reliable governor, it falls short on battery saving and performance on default settings.
One potential reason for ondemand governor being not very power efficient is that the governor decide the next target frequency by instant requirement during sampling interval.
The instant requirement can respond quickly to workload change, but it does not usually reflect workloads real CPU usage requirement in a short enough time and it may cause it to frequently change between highest and lowest frequency.
2) Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery.
The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor.
It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization.
However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually.
Simply put, this governor increases the frequency step by step on CPU load and jumps to lowest frequency on CPU idle.
Conservative governor aims to dynamically adjust the CPU frequency to current utilization, without jumping to max frequency.
The sampling_down_factor value acts as a negative multiplier of sampling_rate to reduce the frequency that the scheduler samples the CPU utilization.
For example, if sampling_rate equal to 20,000 and sampling_down_factor is 2, the governor samples the CPU utilization every 40,000 microseconds.
3) Interactive:
(currently my recommended governor for best overall battery and performance)
Can be considered a faster ondemand. So - more snappier, less battery!
Interactive is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads.
Instead of sampling at every interval like ondemand, it determines how to scale up when CPU comes out of idle.
The governor has the following advantages:
1) More consistent ramping, because existing governors do their CPU load sampling in a workqueue context, but interactive governor does this in a timer context, which gives more consistent CPU load sampling.
2) Higher priority for CPU frequency increase, thus giving the remaining tasks the CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which schedule ramp-up work to occur after your performance starved tasks have completed.
Interactive - It's an intelligent Ondemand because of stability optimizations. Why??
Sampling the CPU load every X ms (like Ondemand) can lead to under-powering the CPU for X ms, leading to dropped frames, stuttering UI, etc.
Instead of sampling the CPU at a specified rate, the interactive governor will check whether to scale the CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle.
When the CPU comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks.
If the CPU is very busy between exiting idle and when the timer fires, then we assume the CPU is underpowered and ramp to max frequency.
4) Userspace:
Instead of automatically determining frequencies, lets user set frequencies.
5) Powersave:
Locks max frequency to min frequency.
Can not be used as a screen-on or even screen-off (if scaling min frequency is too low).
6) Performance:
Sets min frequency to max frequency.
Use this while benchmarking!
7) SmartassV2:
Version 2 of the original smartass governor from Erasmux. Another favorite for many a people.
The governor aim for an "ideal frequency", and ramp up more aggressively towards this freq and less aggressive after.
It uses different ideal frequencies for screen on and screen off, namely awake_ideal_freq and sleep_ideal_freq.
This governor scales down CPU very fast (to hit sleep_ideal_freq soon) while screen is off and scales up rapidly to awake_ideal_freq (500 mhz for GS2 by default) when screen is on.
There's no upper limit for frequency while screen is off (unlike Smartass).
So the entire frequency range is available for the governor to use during screen-on and screen-off state.
The motto of this governor is another option for balance between performance and battery.
8) Lulzactive:
Basically interactive governor with added smartass bits and variable (as opposed to fixed amout) frequency scaling, based on currently occuring cpu loads.
Like smartass, it has a sleep profile built-in.
9) Lagfree:
Lagfree is similar to ondemand. Main difference is it's optimization to become more battery friendly. Frequency is gracefully decreased and increased, unlike ondemand which jumps to 100% too often. Lagfree does not skip any frequency step while scaling up or down. Remember that if there's a requirement for sudden burst of power, lagfree can not satisfy that since it has to raise cpu through each higher frequency step from current. Some users report that video playback using lagfree stutters a little.

Would be nice to have a slimmed down AOSP ROM and a Sense one for when you wanted it.
I'm not trying to be rude to anyone but let's keep the feature requests to a minimum until he gets the more important aspects worked out. There is a lot of testing going on with just what this kernel can do as we speak. I'm sure once things calm down the other features can be implemented.

Good to see you here @Virus.
I haven't seen you since my EVO days!
i flashed both the stock and oc'd versions of this kernel over joe black's cm9 (which was also clean flashed... even wiped my sd) and wifi isn't working. it flat out won't turn on.
i don't have my tbolt in service anymore, so without wifi, i can't use it at all. wifi worked with the included kernel on joe's cm9 rom.
i'm a little pressed for time at the moment, but if a logcat would be helpful, lemme know and i'll post one when i'm back from vacation at the end of the upcoming week.

Yeah that's a known issue with flashing it seperate.
There's a couple things not included in the kernel zip, that have to be changed Rom side.
These changes are easily made and Joe should have an update posted soon with this kernel in it and the needed Rom files to have WiFi working.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
It's just become known it would work as well as it does.
Fixes and improvements to his Rom and this kernel are coming.
If he doesn't have it up soon, I'll post a patch for using this on his Rom.

what are the best kernel adiutor settings

Hello
Can you guys suggest me some good settings in kernel adiutor app for improving performance i'm using cm 12.1 ROM with telo kernel and if you know a better ROM and/or kernel please tell me
Better use phantom kernel. And look at the forums for good settings.
I'm using Phantom Kernel and I just like to adjusting the CPU and GPU clock based on my usage. On my regular setting I would like to set it up on 1,2Ghz CPU and 450Mhz GPU while using interactive governor. I don't know about other things you should checked the Phantom Kernel thread for more information and see the best that suit on you.

Battery Life on CAF based kernel/ROM. Android 7.1.2

Please correct me on anything that I'm about to post below. I will correct it ASAP. Here Goes:
Here's what I've noticed since switching from a stock based ROM (Viper 9) with using EX Kernel to LOS 14.1 or AICP 7.1.2.
From what I've researched, these AOSP builds are using a MSM8960 kernel on our apq8064 board. It is also CAF based kernel as well. MSM8960 is very very similar to APQ8064. Which is why it works on our M7. APQ8064 support ended on CAF around ICS/JB days (from what I've skimmed in the CAF changelog). I've been researching different tunables on the interactive gov and the Ondemand gov. I'm trying to find the best settings to extend the battery while on 7.1.2. To me, it just dies too quickly with default gov tunings either on LOS or AICP. I'd like for other users to post their settings and which gov they are using while on 7.1.2. I'll post my settings as soon as I find the right combination on either the interactive gov or the OnDemand gov.
Edit: I've noticed that by disabling MPDecision and disabling at least 2 cores, battery life has improved. What I have been doing when I play a game is re-enabling the other 2 cores and switching to interactive gov for better in-game experience. I also set the min GPU freq. to 400mhz. Another tunable I adjust is the sync freq in the interactive gov. When gaming I set to either 918mhz or 1026mhz depending on how much load the app places on the cpu.
I've also been tinkering with L Speed app (root required as well). Enabling a profile caused my phone to exhibit a faulty touchscreen. Cherry-picking the optimizations I want doesn't have the same effect.
Which ROM supports customizable turntables or what kernel? I don't use ondemand anymore, it's always interactive for the CPU and simple for the GPU on my end.
i use a kernel manager like Kernel auditor or EX Kernel manager to adjust kernel settings. With those to apps you must have root.
