GPU under clocking

UI still runs super smooth at 128MHz, so will setting it to this have any major positive effect on battery life? If not playing games I'm guessing u won't really need all that GPU power.

Well, in technical terms it *should* give you better battery life because it's reducing stress on a main hardware component so it doesn't have to work as hard (the harder it works, the more battery it takes). Same thing with the screen; the lower the brightness, the better the battery.

Wouldn't it have to work harder for longer because it can't do anything as fast? It isn't like if you set the GPU clock to 487mhz it runs at 487mhz all the time, so ramping up to 487mhz would allow it to finish whatever it is doing faster wouldn't it?

Then wouldn't it be the same with the CPU? When I answered I was thinking like how a CPU would work. I understand your thinking though.

Well I would like to add that the 540 sgx can power the 720P in the Galaxy Nexus... That dino is significantly weaker than the Adreno 320 even over clocked. I run 128 only and it works fine for games and even HD videos(YouTube). To confirm I tried Most wanted, dead trigger, temple run, riptide,etc and there weren't any issues(also toggled vSync). And if you use benchmarks like Epic cidel or antutu you'll see the frames are still pretty high.
So I'll say that 128 or even 200mhz is sufficient for this GPU and most purposes. However a good I/o scheduler and governor are still recommended.

I think another advantage if it runs what you want at a good frame rate is less heat.

ART question

So ART improves the third party app load times and overall phone performance. But does it improve game performance, does it slow it down or it doesn't affect games at all?

You can download this FPS meter app and see if the frames rate increase. My guess is no, its not made for that purpose, it's not a graphic driver, but loading time might improve.
Without ART - 4408 quadrant.
With ART - 6500 quadrant

In benchmarks the biggest difference is in the processor performance, then should improve a little gaming performance.

Android.KK4.4.2 RAM Usage & Power

Hi
one of the bad things so far about Galaxy devices is RAM usage and ability to free memory.
But stock Android 4.4.2 comes with RAM management feature;
Project Svelte
and also with power management for sensors that is so necessary for galaxy device;
Low Power Sensors
Now its important that how Samsung Galaxy Developers used these 2 project to boost up their product & of course Galaxy Note3
please write about your galaxy kitkat experiences...
:good:

Does Android 4.4.2 of* Galaxy Boost-up your phone performance?
Any experience?
Do you like performance of galaxy KitKat?
Did you test AnTuTu on 4.4.2 ??

I got a 36 + 38K score from Antutu when I freshly flashed. Yesterday I got 29K.
Phone feels smoother, it's the little things, noticeable differences? slight.
What's Galaxy kat?

Antutu from kit kat got 36k ish. Previously using x note 7.0 with civz kernel get near 38k.
well no choice now since I'm on new bootloader

I got Antutu 36512 fully stock 4.3, so it seems kitkat not much better and I'm sure I could push it much higher with tweaks not available yet for new 4.42.
So far initial tests and reports;
Boost Performance
better RAM management
more Stability
for SM-N900 and before it for N9005

Massive battery drain on 4.4.2, I've removed all bloat were disabled features etc even put CPU frequency to Min 300mhz but I still have massive battery drain. Yeah its smooth, responsive and efficient but the battery on it sucks

Possible to install wakelock detector then charge full. After that let phone idle for 1 to 3 hrs. Then check what's waking it up.

i got battery draining issue on my N900 and i did this;
let to discharge, less than 20% and then turn it off and connect to charging cable and wait for full charging and then turn it on.
it s like re-gauging of battery.

Best cpu settings for performance and battery span?

I attached picture of synapse below with my current cpu settings and my question is is it good enough for performance and battery saving and can I do it even better?
I have android l with unleashed kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
only you know as we all use our devices differently. there is no such thing as best setting. since we all use our devices differently, best settings would depend on your usage. thats for performance and for battery.
I would recommend bumping up the screen off frequency one notch because with 500mhz, some music playing applications like tune in radio skip occasionally.

Nexus 6p performance: overclocking

I was wondering if anyone has overclocked their phone yet? How did it fair heat-wise? Did performance improve substantially?
