I know polls existed like this before but I was curious which governors are most commonly used in my gingertiny and incredikernel kernels as there are quite a few options though looking at the list not too many. I didn't put performance on the list even though it's an option in my kernels or at least one of them as it's not great on battery. Feel free to post comments about why you choose it. My choice is actually smartassV2 but there are other good ones as well.
I voted for lag free, but smartassV2 is a close second. I have always used smartass and smartassV2, untill lagfree was introduced. Lagfree just seems to have a little better balance between speed and battery consumption, at least in my opinion.
Been using sa2 but switched back to lag free and all is back to being smooth on ics linaro.

Good read on Gov's.nice explanation of how each Gov scales the CPU under load/idle
Which i personally found helpful since i wasn't sure what the difference between each gov was. Of coarse excluding the obvious ones powersave/conservative etc
Thanks for the read - It's tough to wade through all the differences all over the web, so seeing a single spot for all the info like that is great.
i use smartassV2, it seems to work better than the rest do for me
Using lazy on ics and jb roms, seems just as good as sav2 but with better battery.

How Important is it to change the I/O
After you choose the governor how important is it to choose the right I/O.
It may be worth giving interactive another chance in the latest incredikernel releases.

It will but it isn't really necessary as the kernel will scale up and down on its own. Running that widget is just one more service occupying memory.
The defaults on MixUp are set to default 1000 Mhz which is same as stock -- You will need SetCPU or overclock in order to boost your speeds to 1200 Mhz. I recommend SetCPU. When I was on hero had bad experience w/ overclock. Never once have I with SetCPU.
Argh! I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up; I've got setcpu installed now.

There aren't any roms that include this kernel. You flash separately.

I'm personally using drowningchilds 6-7 kernel, which has the smartass governor. The thread can be found in the aria development section
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
Drowningchild has a kernel for CM7 and one for Liberated. I use CM7 with the 6-7 kernel on smartass governor overclocked at 320-787.
On a side note, I did take the advice from drowningchild's kernel thread and it has proven to work: if you flash the kernel, do not flash the GPS old libs, as it will make your CPU usage skyrocket and you'll get horrible battery life.

welcome to the kernel world!! Thanks much...
Not knowing the goodies inside...
Can you add more IO schedulers as in speedy 6 from Eugene373? And as seen on this poll, the most used governors are: lulzactivev2, smartassv2, ondemand, performance. Would you be able to include the *scary* governor. I tested this governor with the SIO scheduler and battery saving were great! I had about 20 hours of use with 27% battery left with moderate-to-heavy usage of social apps (twitter-whatsapp) texting phone calls...with my screen being on for 3h 30m.
Thanks!

Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:
Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.
Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.

Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.
(first screen capture)
old rom: AOKP 40
old kernel: devil .79
old CPU governor: smartassv2
min-max frequency: 200-1400
(second screen capture)
Current rom: AOKP 40
Current kernel: devil .79
Current CPU governor: conservative
min-max frequency: 100-1400
I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?

Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again

Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.
Get if not already had toolbox
And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)
Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.
After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.

I tried out your Set CPU setup and it was kind of bad, because of the lagfree governor,i did some research and i found a thread explaing all governors and lagfree doesn't actually make your phone "Lag free" it saves battery by throttling it down to the minimum clock speed for a simple task but when it needs more juice it will throttle higher providing more performance, but it doesn't work well as i have had regular force closes with apps like FlipBoard, Falcon Pro and messaging (which force closed alot)
Thanks anyways for contributing

I decided to install Lupus Kernel (720p) and I failed so many times because ADB wasn't detecting my phone in fastboot and reason is because i use a mini usb hub (it connects into 1 hub and makes 5 hubs) so adb and fastboot dident have direct conntact with my phone and today i had a strange feeling and pluged it in to main usb port on my pc and it worked like a charm,i flashed lupus and i am enjoying it.
I think it is considerably faster that Doomkernel and smoother AND reliable,i used to get random force closes every now and then but now its super smooth and Touch screen response seems to be 100x better,
I also tried out your setup and shadowgun,Dead trigger(ULTRA GFX setting) and MC4 runs smooth at around 50 FPS
