Best ICS combo for gaming and performance finally found !! - Nexus S General

Hello there,
many threads here in General and in QA,are asking about the best ROM,the best Kernel,or the best combo to get the highest performance and a lag free experience,i was also trying of finding the best combination,but i decided to do it the hard way,i started flashing and flashing,tweaking kernel settings trying to achieve the greatest performance.
at the end i achieved a combo that's making my nexus s run super smoothly with full trebuchet animations and good game experience (running N.O.V.A 3 without any lag ) anyway here is what i tried,it's pretty stable with me and offer a great performance (though battery isn't that good well that's the price of performance)
ROM

KERNEL
Matr1x BFS
KERNEL SETTINGS
(edit those with NStools)

and a big thank for the great devs offering us all those roms and kernels really thank you for your hard work

Live Overclock Voltages -Community Support

Ezekeel has created the ability for user control of cpu overclock and bus/gpu overclock. He has also made it possible to change the cpu and internal voltages, so that this can be done without sacrificing stability. Several awesome kernel developers have implemented his work. Thanks to all of you.
I have seen kernel development threads degenerate into "help me with my voltages" threads. No more!
Please post:
- Your kernel and version/date.
- Your live_oc value.
- Your dvsarm (cpu voltage) values.
- Your dvsint (internal voltage) values.
You can vote for settings you have found to be stable by thanking that post.

The above settings seems to be stable on my phone but
may someone please teach me what to do when OC failure?
(I know how to clear CMOS on computers but don't know much on phones)
I use both NSTools and SetCPU to get LiveOC value of 120 and hang, after restart, the NSTools autoload 120 and hang again, it hang before I get access into the NSTools to change the value, what should I do?

I got it solved by a brainless method
1.Flash TEUV kernel which doesn't support liveOC
2.Clear the data of NSTools
3.Back to franco kernel
4.Done
It's useful for those don't know much about command and init.d such as me

It's not strange, you may understand this if you have overclocked your PC.
Different CPUs need different voltages to maintain stability.
You may try this
1275 1200 or even higher
There is no best voltage for every CPUs, you need to find it out yourself.
In my case
1100MHz need 1275mV
1000MHz need 1200mV
880MHz still need 1200mV...
800MHz need 1125mV

I think I am confused with stock voltage for internal voltage...
this one??
Nexus S stock voltages
1000mhz: 1250 mV
800mhz: 1200 mV
400mhz: 1050 mV
200mhz: 950 mV
100mhz: 950 mV
Or this one??
1000mhz : 1100mV
800mhz :1100mV
400mhz :1100mV
200mhz :1100mV
because when change my intenal voltage with stock voltage....immediately hang and after that reboot
100mhz :1000mV

Isn't it 1250 1200 1050 950 950 the arm voltage
Stock int voltages are 1100 1100 1100 1100 1000

With stock int voltages my phone works well

Oh...sorry..because everyone says internal voltage using stock..I thought these value 1250 1200 1050 950 950...sorry..
yes..with 1100 1100 1100 1100 1000...My phone have no problems at all..thanx...
when i change the voltages in terminal emulator:
echo "1250 1200 1000 950 950" > /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/arm_volt
does the voltage change take place instantly or do i need to reboot?
Changes are instant. Rebooting will only reset you to stock values, if you don't have an init.d script for them.
You can check your changes after an echo by typing the following in Terminal:
Code:
cat /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/arm_volt

My undervolt settings for ICS

I recently installed teamhacksung's ICS Build 15 with Glitch v14b1 kernel and noticed that you can't undervolt like you did in cm7/gb anymore but also can undervolt the internal voltage. I took me some time but now I think I got some good undervolt settings, which I want to share with you:
arm voltage (in mhz)
100: 775 mV
200: 800 mV
400: 950 mV
800: 1125 mV
1000: 1225 mV
1152: 1300 mV
int voltage (also in mhz)
100: 975 mV
200: 1050 mV
400: 1050 mV
800: 1050 mV
1000: 1075 mV
1152: 1100 mV
this ones are working good for me. hope I could help you.

i guess so. if the kernel's for cm9 and onecosmics build also work with it you should give it a try.

yap... i tried it on drzMIUIv4 rom...
its work & stable...
like to ask, if we undervolt the voltage, can we increase our battery life ?
i tried ur setting, but my battery life still same with stock voltage...
3G mode : less than 8 hours on moderate use
Thanks for the information and I will give it a try.
Phone restarts........ may be this is not for me....... by the way...... how is its effect in battery backup ?
Thank you for your information ^^
Will try it tonight

Post your voltage settings and your experience ...

Hi @all,
everyone is invited to post
1. ROM
2. Kernel
3. Kernel settings
4. UV settings
independently of ROM or Kernel used.
It might be a good starting point to compare other user´s experience.
Before using the settings postet in this thread please keep in mind that each device is different. Good settings for device A might produce freezes on device B.
So share your and enjoy other´s experience´s ...
here are my stable settings:
ROM: CheckROM RevoHD v6
Kernel: N.E.A.K. 1.4x
CPU Gorvernor: conservative (with all tweaks over CWM recovery enabled)
I/O Sched: sio
200 Mhz - 1200 Mhz
Voltages:
100 Mhz - 850 mV (... can´t go lower for testing with voltage control )
200 Mhz - 850 mV (... can´t go lower for testing with voltage control )

800 Mhz - 975 mV
1000 Mhz - 1075 mV
1200 Mhz - 1175 mv
GPU settings:
Low: 133 Mhz - 800 mV
High: 133 Mhz - 800 mV
I am not a gamer and this settings are solid stable for my device. I use the phone mainly for (heavy) phone call´s (I know its old fashion ) and @home for surfing via WIFI. I enable my mobile data connection only when I need it.
This setting´s give me 3 - 4 days battery life.
I use lulzactive governor and vr I/O sched before and I feel NO difference in performance compared with the above settings (regarding scrolling through menus, starting apps ...), but the above settings gives me better battery.
Regards
Antonio
Update: I have to mention that I have the 2000 mAh Samsung battery.
OROM: Stock 2.3.5
Kernel: N.E.A.K 1.3.3.x
Voltage controls: All default.
100-800mhz
Lulzactive, VR
I usually get 1 & a half days battery, with an average of 7 hours screen time. The phone still runs beautifully while playing games and such so I have no problems in that category.
Edit:
Wifi on 80% of the time, a few hours of XDA. Skype on 100% while wifi is on. A few hours of games (dolphin, mc3, cut the rope, etc.), hours of Internet browsing, etc.

A last note:
Posting your settings and your battery charge cycle, please also mention the way you using your phone during the day to make your post more comparable ...
have fun

Battery last longer if you do not let fully discharge it (plug it at night if you can, no matter the charge left).

Tip: overclocking with Tegrak Overclock (Ultimate)

Hi,
I have used Tegrak Overclock Ultimate to overclock my Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) at stock kernel. It works with Cyanogenmod11 (Kitkat 4.4.4.). This are my settings:
1748 mhz: 1500 mV - 1300 mV (+200 mV) (stock is 1400 mhz)
1200 mhz: 1100 mV - 1275 mV(-175 mV)
1000 mhz: 1000 mV - 1175 mV (-175 mV)
800 mhz: 950 mV - 1100 mV (-150 mV)
500 mhz: 900 mV - 1000 mV (-100 mV)
200 mhz: 850 mV - 975 mV (-125 mV)
I have also underclocked my GPU, but I don't remember the stock voltages:
267 mhz: 900 mV -
160 mhz: 850 mV -
134 mhz: 850 mV -
I hope this could help you!
