Right i am not going to bore you with long ass intros or long essays on how to do this and how to do that. All i did was share my results on a thread and people started messaging me about my settings and what configurations i use. So i will make it all simple for you. I am opening a thread so you can see what settings i am using and use it as a guide and adjust them or use my own settings if you want to get the best out of your battery and enjoy more your baby. Plus this thread is for you guys to stop private messaging me as i am getting loads of messages and hardly have time to reply to you all.
First off and call it a disclaimer if you want, what WORKS on my phone might not work for yours. So as i said above, use my settings if you want, but if you have problems then tweak them to an effect your phone runs smoothly. Infact with my settings you get the balance of both worlds, Performance and battery life. But let me say this i am just providing you guys with my settings and what works for me. Now if you get any problems or errors which you should not do not come here crying as i have not forced these settings on anyone. The below settings are for people like myself who do not know how to use a script to tweak a governor, and by having this app makes life a lot easier and by me helping with my settings i hope it can provide the balance of good battery life and performance to people.
I know Geko95gek has his MagicConfig thread and my thread is different to his, as my thread is just to help people with the Lulzactive app settings and give them a guide on how to start and use it and how to get the best out off it. His is more to do with voltages of cpu and GPU. You can use his MagicConfig and use my Lulzactive apps settings if you want. Big shout out to him for his magic.
Please also follow the bottom link for a bit more in depth info on a How to guide for undervolting.(many thanks to Eric-filth)

Anyway here are the settings that i use and please use as a guide:
Lulzactive app Settings:
inc_cpu_load: 75%
pump_up_step: 3
pump_down_step:2
screen_off_min_step: 4,@200MHz
up_sample_time: 50000
down_sample_time: 30000
debug_mode: 0
Setting up your Lulzactive app with your configurations:
To be able to use the above settings as already stated you need the Lulzactive application were it can be found here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.lulzactive&hl=en.
Once you have installed it then you need to have Voltage Control which i recommend or any other cpu tuner program installed on your phone like(SetCpu, NoFrills, Tegrak OC) to be able to set lulzactive governor as default.
Once you have done that then go ahead and input my settings or your own. The exact way i have it laid out, is the same on the app.
Once you have done inputting the settings always make sure you have SET ON BOOT ticked.
Come out of the app and reboot. Wait for the phone to load up properly then go back into the application to make sure the settings have been set up properly and stayed. And that is it. :
Voltage Control Configuration:
*Governor: Lulzactive (of course)
*Scheduler: VR - Noop
Voltages
1200Mhz - 1150mV
1000Mhz - 1050mV
800Mhz - 1000mV
500Mhz - 950mV
200Mhz - 900mV
100Mhz - 850mV
GPU ControlLow power state - High power estate114Mhz - 950mV / 267Mhz - 1050mV
Now i will present to you settings that you can use with a different governor and scheduler. Call this Rock Solid Config v1.1 if you like.
Voltages
1200Mhz - 1175mV
1000Mhz - 1100mV
800Mhz - 975mV
500Mhz - 950mV
200Mhz - 850mV
100Mhz - 850mV
GPU Control:Low Power state: 133Mhz - 900mV
High Power State: 267Mhz - 1000mv
Scheduler: Noop
Governor: Conservative
Misc Tweaks: Ext4 Boost- Sched_Mc
So there you have it. Those are my settings that i use currently with NEAK kernel and work like a charm for me. Feel free to use my configuration if you like but please consider that everyones phone is different. So feel free to use mine as a guide and either feel free to undervolt more if you like or if you find that you are getting freezes then up the steps by either 25mV or 50mv
Feel free to post your results here as i would like to know if my settings work or not and also your battery results to show if my settings actually do something towards your battery.
Just a few thanks in order as well i think:
Simone201: for his awesome kernel and configurator.
Tegrak: For his awesome lulzactive app(makes my life alot easier to tweak it this way instead of scripts)
Gokhanmoral: just for his siyah kernel and i have all the time in the world for that guy as he is a legend in my eyes
Geko95gek: for being just a crazy ass Yoda and providing everyone with his MagicConfig
GC and LeoMar75: For the awesome rom
So_ony: cause i have to say it was her idea behind this brainchild of a thread.
Droidphile: For his awesome thread regarding all the information you need regarding kernels
And to you all who keep pestering me for my settings this thread is for you guys.
Information on misc tweaks, plus my favorite governors and schedulers i recommend
Abit more info regarding what are the misc options in the NEAK configurator application. (Many thanks to Droidphile for all the information)
Q. "What are these modes: IDLE, LPA and AFTR?"
A. Between screen off and deep sleep states, there are some idle modes supported by cpuidle driver. They are IDLE aka Normal Idle, LPA aka Deep Idle and AFTR aka ARM Off Top Running. Race to idle by CPU is implemented for power management.
In IDLE state, CPU is not clocked anymore, but no hardware is powered down.
In deep idle (LPA),a state after IDLE, again, the cpu is not clocked anymore like we guessed but some parts of hardware are powered down. Deep idle brings in real power savings and there is no need of putting a hard limit to frequency during screen-off; using a screen-off profile. (Good practice is to use a governor with built in screen off profile, than using an user-configured screen-off profile by putting a hard limit on frequency). Deep idle is not used when device is entering deep sleep and also when device is woken from suspend/deep sleep. While entering/exiting DEEP IDLE, CPU is set statically to SLEEP_FREQ and is not clocked below or above until it exits this state.
AFTR is a patch to support Top=Off mode for deep idle. Level 2 cache keeps it data during this mode.
We can have IDLE or AFTR modes with LPA enabled or disabled. (Obviously it is not possible to have IDLE and AFTR together)
Values:
0: IDLE
1: AFTR
2: IDLE+LPA
3: AFTR+LPA
Q. "What idle modes are recommended for power saving? How do i change it"?
A. Recommended for power saving is to enable AFTR and LPA, ie value 3
Example:
echo "3" > /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/enable_mask
Q. "What is sched_mc?"
A. Linaro team invented sched_mc or Schedule Multi Core to make process scheduling multi-core aware. ie, utilize both cores wisely to save power and balance performance. Even though sched_mc is sort of an alternative to cpu hot plugging, we can use sched_mc with the default hot plug mode.
Possible Values:
0 : No power saving load balance, default in our exynos4210 Soc.
1 : Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads. In our single-CPU dual-core device, multithreading does not come into picture, so load balancing is almost redundant to hotplugging.
2 : Also bias task wake-ups to semi-idle CPU package for power savings. (Bias new tasks to cpu1 if cpu0 is mostly filled with running tasks). This is 'overloading' CPU0 first.
Q. "What value is recommended for sched_mc?"
A. 1) If you find advantages to sched_mc, use sched_mc=1 for a possible battery saving. Anyhow since load-balancing is reduntant on hotplugging, it may not have any advantage on exynos chip.
2) For performance use 2. But do remember that loading CPU0 and leaving CPU1 can not do justice to hitting deep idle states sooner since second core can not enter deep idle. So extra performance or no performance, value 2 will drain some more battery, in the context of delayed didle.
3) To do justice to hotplugging, use value 0.
Example:
echo "0" /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings.
Schedulers that i recommend to use. Again massive thanks to Droidphile for the information.
Noop
Inserts all the incoming I/O requests to a First In First Out queue and implements request merging. Best used with storage devices that does not depend on mechanical movement to access data (yes, like our flash drives). Advantage here is that flash drives does not require reordering of multiple I/O requests unlike in normal hard drives.
Advantages:
Serves I/O requests with least number of cpu cycles. (Battery friendly?)
Best for flash drives since there is no seeking penalty.
Good throughput on db systems.
Disadvantages:
Reduction in number of cpu cycles used is proportional to drop in performance.
V(R)
Unlike other schedulers, synchronous and asynchronous requests are not treated separately, instead a deadline is imposed for fairness. The next request to be served is based on it's distance from last request.
Advantages:
May be best for benchmarking because at the peak of it's 'form' VR performs best.
Disadvantages:
Performance fluctuation results in below-average performance at times.
Least reliable/most unstable.
Governors that i recommend to use. Information again by Droidphile.
Lulzactive:
This new find from Tegrak is based on Interactive & Smartass governors and is one of the favorites.
Old Version: When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step. When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency.
New Version: Three more user configurable parameters: inc_cpu_load, pump_up_step, pump_down_step. Unlike older version, this one gives more control for the user. We can set the threshold at which governor decides to scale up/down. We can also set number of frequency steps to be skipped while polling up and down.
When workload greater than or equal to inc_cpu_load, governor scales CPU pump_up_step steps up. When workload is less than inc_cpu_load, governor scales CPU down pump_down_step steps down.
Example:
Consider
inc_cpu_load=70
pump_up_step=2
pump_down_step=1
If current frequency=200, Every up_sampling_time Us if cpu load >= 70%, cpu is scaled up 2 steps - to 800.
If current frequency =1200, Every down_sampling_time Us if cpu load < 70%, cpu is scaled down 1 step - to 1000.
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.
Lionheart:
Lionheart is a conservative-based governor which is based on samsung's update3 source. Tweaks comes from 1) Knzo 2) Morfic. The original idea comes from Netarchy. See here. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
Do not forget to enable the Lionheart tweaks you must have Conservative governor enabled through the configurator application and then select Lionheart tweaks

start with the MagicConfig mate. That should be good enough.
Great thread to start tweaking with Lulzactive governor. Should make life easier for a lot of people, gives them the opportunity to gain extra battery juice without too many headaches.

Thanks mate. And with your magic config people can have the best of both worlds. Shame we can't merge the two...Anyway thanks mate much appreciated for your kind words
Why pump up 4 steps? For performance or? The rest of the settings i can see the meaning in, but why pump up four steps?
Else, awesome thread! God starting point for many!

Thanks mate...For performance yes but also if you see the other settings you will see they are leaning more towards the battery side. Hence why i wanted to go for a balance between the two if that makes sense. I will be trying different settings and i will provide screenshots of my results and will provide the settings for each result i do.

Hey mate. Actually I have never seen you around on any posts sharing these settings or even opened thunderbolt scripts to see how you tweak lulz governor. I have nothing but for respect for you Pika as I see how great you thread is and how popular your scripts are. These settings that I am using are a start up from me from playing around with the app and sharing my findings with friends. If it brings offence to you I will bring it down. But I swear to you I have never used your scripts as one I do not how to use them and two I prefer apps to do the work for me as I hate to many scripts in my phone. I would love your help here if possible on what to help people though

well just take a look at his thread my friend. his voltage control settings are shared nearly by 700 users on xda and have reported nothing but good stuff from it. i do not want to share my settings as i Undervolt quite heavy so my settings would not work with most on here. so i used his thread for people who would ask for settings apart from my lulz app ones.

Im looking for someone to tell me what they think is there best settings to be used in there prefered app for example setcpu,faux123, do you overclock and to what settings, what has worked for you guys
i generally dont use my phone to much in a day so battery last the day so i dont mind it being overclocked when im using it if it means it runs faster but drains battery, some suggestion please, im a novice
no flames about i used the word 'best' im looking for opionons thankyou if you help

IMO, no overclock is required. The phone is fast and snappy enough.
That said, I underclock the minimum frequency and undervolt throughout the frequency table.
This ensures that I get better battery life, without any decrease in performance.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1.0 Stable Release.
I'm using franco.kernel r161, and his companion app - franco.kernel updater.
The following settings are giving me great performance and battery life.
CPU Frequency Range : Screen On - 384 MHz - 1512 MHz, Screen Off - 384 MHz
CPU Governor : Interactive
GPU Frequency: 400 MHz
Frequency Table Undervolt : -125 mV throughout
Disclaimer - This is for a {fast} binned CPU. Check your device's CPU binning via this link, and do some trial-error to find the perfect undervolt for your device.
Good Luck!
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 ???

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
I always appreciate help testing
Guys, i need your opinions -
How do u think - what is the best CPU governor for maximum battery life ?
The possibilities are in the poll.
Keep in mind, that different cpu governors have different modes, so it will be advisable not only to vote for your favourite, but also to mention in the topic your prefered profile for the respective governor...
The mods for the poll are taken from arter97kernel...
that's how I use when I need that the battery lasts longer and gives me results.
sometimes even put the processor speed to 1000MHz .
It gets a little slow but it can handle
I forgot screen cpu but I have at 1400MHz and undervolt light
Hey ^^
well i prefer zzmoove with the zzmoove battery yank profile on Boeffla kernel 2.8 for Slimkat (check my Profile for more Infos: Link). It runs smooth, gives me more then enough Performance and also good Battery Saving. It also features a frequency lock when turning off the Screen and limits the max Freq to 600 mhz which is perfect if you want to run downloads or something similar without problems in the background and your screen is off, but also gives you good powersaving. Unfortunately if you hear Music it can stutter in zzmoove because of the Hotplugging functionality even when the screen is off. To solve this problem you have to turn off the Hotplugging Functionality at Screen off (i read that somewhere, but forgot where).

If you want help, you'll have to give MUCH more details about Boeffla settings, phone settings, apps you're using and general phone usage behaviour. Such as: WiFi or mobile data? Do you play power hungry games? Do you have lots of apps running in the background that use data or keep the CPU active? Do you use Xposed with Amplify/Greenify/etc.? Which governor do you use? What are your hotplug settings (i.e. CPU cores activated)? On what frequencies do your CPUs run?

My bet is on the performance governor, as it always keeps the CPUs at max. frequency. This is a total waste of power and probably also the reason why your phone gets hot. Try Interactive (standard or battery unless you absolutely need the performance setting) or Impulse instead. Also, consider throttling the CPU frequency two to four steps for each cluster, and consider using only two cores on each cluster as you don't need all that power for general use.
You do know that you can set up different profiles in the Boeffla Config app, for different usage scenarios? For example, I have three profiles: for general use, for gaming, and for power saving when the battery gets low. This way, I can gradually control how much power I get and therefore also how much battery is used.
So you mean to say change the hotPlug to 2 to 4 ..?
And about the interactive mode, I was using it initially but I had keyboard lag so changed to performance...
Will try impluse and get back with the results..
Pretty much newbie in this .. so i am sorry to bother u

You don't get keyboard lag from using the Interactive governor, no way.
Impulse is more on the battery saving side as compared to Interactive, and in Boeffla Interactive comes with multiple different settings that allow you to further fine-tune it to your liking. So imho, you can't go wrong with Interactive.
Don't be sorry, we're all here to learn and to share knowledge

So you were on battery extreme when the lag happened? Well, try battery, standard and performance as well and see what's best for you.
I'm currently experimenting with different settings. Right now, for general use I have
A53:
Governor: Interactive - Battery
Frequency: 384-960 MHz
Hotplug: 2 cores
A57:
Governor: Interactive - Battery
Frequency: 384-1344 MHz
Hotplug: 2/2
GPU:
Governor: msm-adreno-tz
Frequency: 27-450 MHz
It's a bit laggy especially on transitions, so I'm not sure if I'll stick to it. Also, stand-by time on mobile data doesn't really improve this way. Depending on whether I can get a bit more screen-on-time using this configuration, I'll decide whether to stick with it or not.
But in general, with Interactive - Standard and the default CPU and GPU configurations, you technically can't go wrong.
Cool I will check on this for the a couple of days and get back with results
Cheers
Stop messing with Kernel Settings. Kernel dont cause Battery drain. Use Better Battery Stats and find out which app is causing your drain. And stop using Greenify. It doesnt help much. In most cases it makes things worse.
update : 1 hr 41 mins SOT with 41% battery left...
I will uninstall the Greenify and check . Will also install BBS.
I noticed a battery drop when my location was on . I dont have any location intensive apps .
Even with battery extreme, i dont have lag with keyboard. Turn on your touch boost and set it to at least 768Mhz
No wonder you get 2Hrs SOT. Performance governor was only meant for benchmark, LoL
On impulse (A53) and Interactive extreme (A57)
My average SOT is 7Hrs, maxed at 9Hrs when my LTE reception at it best.

Google Play Services itself is a location intensive app. =b
Keep your greenify, but optimize it use.
Also install amplify and powernap,
And AppOpXposed to disable the keep awake permission from Google Play Services
Check my post on Battery Life thread for details.

Update : No difference yet ,willing to experiment
Will check your post on battery
I have turned off the keep awake thingy on AppOpXposed for google Play Services ..
I did check BBS for any abnormal apps causing troubles but did not find any ... is there any thing that I need to look at in particular
Post some Screenshots of BBS statistics and maybe a BBS log file.
For testing here is my Config with Boeffla Kernel:
Governor Impulse Standard for both.
A53 max frequenzy is 1200 everything else untouched.
I/O is Zen with 2048 Read-Ahead
Hotplug is standard. A53: 4-4 A57: 2-4
GPU is 27-510
Touchboost is 1200 too.
Gives me 6-8 SOT.

Update the Kernel!!!!!!!!!! Beta 18 is out and you are on Beta 4. No wonder your system runs like crap. If you updated let it run for a few days and post again. And pls turn of this Battery extreme stuff ... And use standard hotplug Settings: 4-4 on A53 and 2-4 on A57.

Download the beta18 file and flash right??
For all of those who are on the latest Kernel Version i packed my config into Boeffla Kernel profiles so you can use them easily.
The Boeffla-Impulse-Performance has the BCL driver and the possibility for the ROM to turn down Cores of the Big Cluster switched off. Gives me better Performance and i didn't recognized any big loss in Battery.
The Boeffla-Impulse-Battery has all set to stock logic. Gives maybe a bit more Battery.
Have fun with it.
ps.: Don't be afraid if your Screen Color changes. I made little changes in the Color settings. If you don't like them, you can always switch these values back to standard.
