SetCPU best speed

Hey everyone, just wanted to post this to see what cpu speed works best for you guys.. Im using these preset things with the program like performance or power saver etc but i dont seem to notice a difference all of them seem to be the exact same.. Wondering how to make it good for like 50% power and 50% performance, basicly balancing the 2 out as long as its better than stalk and not burning out my cpu.. so thanks, let me know what works for you guys as ive heard its slightly different for everyone else
(HTC EVO 4G)

I use the standard "ondemand" governor with a 998max-245min, but the thing I found makes the most difference are the settings under "Advanced".
I use the below "Advanced" settings along with a 245-245 screen off profile.
Seems to get me the best battery and cpu scaling.
It also helps to use an undervolting kernel like Freedom-More.
Try that for a couple days.
NOTE: click the apply button a couple of times (might be bug but they sometimes don't take on 1 button click). Try them as is without "Set on Boot", until you are sure that your phone likes them. Plus, check after a reboot that you verify/reapply them.
Sampling rate: 20000
Up Threshold: 85
Ignore nice load: 0
Powersave Bias: 14

I'm at 691200 on smartass governor with 245000 as min on Rcmix rom

The "presets" are how the cpu scales i'd use "interactive" or "smartassv2" 245 min and max at 998+ then search around for here for various profile set-ups

I'm running the Gingerbread-Evo-Deck 1.3 with a Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS HAVS Kernel. I'm also undervolted 50mV, and using the interactive x governor set at 128MHz-768mhz. Running a few other simple tweaks learned from Carhauler, and I've got excellent battery life and great performance.

I currently run mine on an ICS rom & it comes standard with a tiatmat 4.1.0+ kernel & the cpu is running at about 245mhz-1036mhz with smartass governor(I usually set it to smartass v2 but it switches back to smartass haha). My battery life for me is enough to get me thru the day.

Which ICS rom are you running?

I currently running RCMix3d Runny® Sense 3.5. Should I just got with ICS to overclock or just find a kernel that allows it?

Get a new kernal. Try Tiamat 4.1
I have my SetCPU at 128min 1152max smartassV2(i CAN overclock up to 1267) with 1 profile:
Screen Off 128min 245max
My battery life is extremely good.

Best setting for kernel

Can any one tell me best governer and io sheduler settings for
extreme power saving ?
very good powersaving(next to extreme) with little lags?
extreme performance?
I am using savie`s kernel aroma 73 with 18 governers and 5 iio shedulers.
THanks

Just install cpu spy and see how much % ure each mhz is being used on using a particular governer and i/o schedular......

my setting is
max=832
min=468 or 624
governor=lionheart
i/o=deadline
no lag and battery friendly
try it..

If search in xda "Best settings for kernel" you will found thousend of thread with this question.. So,next time search before posting..
Best setting for kernel is,
Gov-smartass v2
I/O-sio/cfq

[Solved]smartassv2 or interactive. which one battery save?

recently im flashing percy gnu#9 kernel on my gy..
im stuck choosing right gov for me.. dont tell another gov as i already make some researh through google but cant find any source about smartassv2 vs interactive..
furthermore gnu#9 didnt have ondemand which i use before..
i choose this two because it balance between perfomance and battery life..
please help me between this 2 gov, which one is most battery friendly and what io sched best for it..

already try out with ur kernel.. but my cpu always stay at 468 freq when i'm browsing and i realise battery comsumption a little more then interactive..
so i revert back to use interactive that always stay at 168 freq in same environment which i see just a little battery consumption..
thats y i ask u to put ondemand gov in ur kernel..

Ondemand
Edit: I didnt read the full OP. New answer-Interactive . Smartass is for performance.

[Q]Need help with kernel and game

Hi everybody
I have use Nexus 4 for long time....and i get problem with Asphalt 8....when i play this game with stock rom it's no lag and very smooth....but when i try it with another rom like carbon, mahdi, cm11,...i always get some lag....i try some kernel hells core, hells doctor, experimental and set ondemand + noop + max 1.5Ghz + min 384Mhz and nothing change....can anybody tell me why and how to fix it ??? I love this game

depending on the kernel u are using, u have different options.
to configure the kernel settings use any app like Trickster mod.
for battery life try to lower the max cpu frequency, u may undervolt a bit too but the most important is to choose a good governor that dont raise the cpu clock without any real need (keeping ur cpu a lower frequency == less heat and less voltage used == better battery life and somewhat better preformance ratio).
For IO: ROW, FIOPS or tweaked BFQ.
i recommend u to take a look at moob kernel (from @bedalus), and u will understand what i stated about UV not being the best way to save battery and produce less heat

I have a kernel for you to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51373661&postcount=1199

[Guide] Get rid of lag in games / Interactive gov is bugged!

Hi guys,
I have the 855 version of this phone, and I have noticed that, even if Antutu scores are spot on (44k), in games such as GT racing 2 or similar I get a lot of lag.
Now, everyone will think "there are 1000 threads about lag, stick to those". Unfortunately, tricks such as getting rid of the thermal protection are really not good options, as the phone temperature will start to skyrocket.
There's a much easier and safer solution: root the phone and change the governor from interactive to conservative.
With interactive gov and CPU temp open in the background, I have noticed the CPU frequency bounces continuously up and down between 300mhz and 2400, even if the CPU temp is only 55c or so. This is causing the lag! Interactive governor is severely bugged, and this happens with any rom (I have tried both the stock 20h and the ChupaChups 4.2) and kernel (non AOSP at least).
Then, I switched to conservative, launched the game again, and guess what....now the frequency is nicely stable at 2457mhz throughout the entire gameplay and lag is gone completely. Temperatures? Totally fine: max 60c while playing and usually between 35 and 40 while whatsapping.
I literally tried everything to get rid of this damn lag, and the only thing that worked before this solution was to use a different kernel (chupa chups 2.1) and changing the governor...but I was getting crazy high temperatures, that sometimes touched 80c, and this was with a very heavy undervolt too! So I recommend to use the stock kernel, because it's the only one - for me at least - that grants good performances (and by that I mean no lag in games whatsoever and constant 2450mhz while playing) with good temperatures.
Any other option, including undervolting and trying different kernels didn't work for me, because either the CPU frequency kept shifting up and down every second causing lag, or - when I managed to keep it stable using different kernels and undervolting - the CPU temperature while playing got way too high (70c+, touching 80c sometimes).
To sum it up
1) Stick to stock rom and stock kernel (because of temperature issues)
2) Root
3) Change governor from interactive to conservative with Trickstermod (busybox required)
4) Enjoy smooth gaming experience and very good temperatures, with no significant throttle whatsoever!
Hope this helps!

as far as i know, conservative puts the cpu speed into the lowest possible, thus i thought won't be good for gaming performance.
nevertheless, i'd try for a few days and see if there's any noticeable difference.
thanks for sharing the knowledge, OP!

Theoretically you are right. But...interactive is bugged. Ondemand doesn't work (it will make your phone freeze) and performance will drain too much battery. So we are pretty much left with conservative.
Give it a try, and when you do, make sure you have CPU temp open to monitor both temperature and cpu frequency!
Let me know

Thank you! It really did the trick, gaming became MUCH better.
I tried RR3 - it became a lot better. On interactive it lags even in menu, on conservative it's rendering at 23-30 fps with slight not-game-breaking lags.

Battery
And about the battery? Will drain more in conservative than interactive? And will speed up the phone in all app or only in heavy games, when cpu is more active?

I wouldn't worry about battery life..

It seems that this working generally, phone is much snappier and smooth for me than on interactive.

Yeah...the reason is that LG did an awful job with the interactive governor, and what's even worse is that it's actually using it as the default one.
Pretty incredible how bugged this is.

Yes but I think it's possible to make script in init.d folder to run conservative on boot as default. Maybe someone make one.

I Will try this ☺only for curiosity! I need busybox installed too or trickstermod only?

I've been doing the same thing for a long time now. I use SetCPU to automatically switch to the performance governor whenever the screen is on, and interactive whenever the screen is off.
You may also want to consider disabling mpdecision and thermald also. One of the two (probably mpdecision) will regularly change the governor back to interactive if you don't.

about 80°

I'm running Rin kernel with Lionheart governor on stock kit kat on a D850. It's ages better than interactive. I have plenty of governors to choose from, I'll slowly try them all.

That works to get rid of the lag...but my phone was reaching easily 80c.
Now, with everything stock, the frequency stays nicely at 2457mhz with no throttle at all and the in-game temperature only maxes out at 63/64c.

Thanks for sharing this brother...just switched to conservative in trickster and I'll see how it goes.
I'm on crash Rom stock kernel with thermal mod activated...
Don't have any temperature issues till now expert while playing heavy games for some time.
Thanks again

Are the settings in trickstermod applied as you change the setting ? Or do you need to apply them manually ?
Also, do they apply on boot ?

I will try that, thx for the info.
Now how i can put it to change on boot?

On the latest trickster version you hit the upper right settings icon and the first four option that appear are under the set on boot part.check the kernel setting to be set on boot and you are done.
Of course after changing the governor that is...

I tested the "on boot' options and didnt work here.
Someone can run a benchmark with this mod? Mine was 38880 in interactive and 23000 with conservative lol
