Tasker governor question. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it ok for me to have a task in Tasker that changes the governor everytime the phone sleeps and wakes? Is that harmful to my device?

not sure about if it's dangerous or not but I am curious a to why you would want to... sleep is sleep not much of anything happening to warrant a change

Well, I've found that my battery lasts a lot longer when the powersave governor is on, even while in sleep. When the screen is on I have it change to ondemand so i get a nice smooth UI. When in sleep with ondemand on, it drains faster than when I have powersave on and have it clocked to 288000 MHz.

You have it clocked at 28.8 GHz? Pretty sure you're going to melt your phone. (I kid)

I believe he meant 288 GHz. He's from the future and is trolling us.

Totally fine, but you might encounter stability problems.

Lol. My bad, was just copying what Trickster Mod said.. :/ I have the min at 288 MHz so when power save is on it underclocks to that.
I just don't want to screw up the hardware by jumping back and forth between ondemand and powersave.

Best I/O Scheduler and CPU Governor on Glitch

I am using CM7 ROM and Glitch kernel together on the Verizon Fascinate and was just wondering what everyone is using for the I/O Scheduler and the CPU Governor with Voltage control.
I have mine OC'd to 1.5GHz and using bfq and performance.
that setup you are using will suck down battery in no time. Im running v13 from paid glitch app, smartass v2 with deadline and underclocked to 800mhz and get 5 hours of ACTUAL PHONE USE/SCREEN ON TIME and about a full day before needing a re-charge on an 1800ma samaung battery and the phone still flys. zero lag! You really dont need to run any more than 1 ghz, but 1.2ghz will give you crazy speed and still allow for some good batterylife. 1.5 is overkill.

smartass is best in my opinion. It seems to run lower clocks more often when high clock is not needed.. I don't have smartass v2 for some reason

I use cfq and smartassv2. Here is a thread with explanations of all of the schedulers and governers, how they work and what ones are the best.

Using noop/smartass the last day or so...seems to be running smooth.
Smartass never seems to go below 400mhz on my phone. I've been using OnDemand.
I haven't really noticed any performance difference with any of the IO schedulers. Probably because it's flash and not a disk based drive in the phones.

I do have it a little overkill, but I enjoy the speed when using some apps like games. My battery does last a whole day however with the 1800ma battery life, but then again all I use my phone for during the day is texting or VNC. I'm gonna try the smartass V2 and Deadline. Thanks!
I do quite a bit of gaming on my device (9mm, Dungeon Defenders, etc...). Overclock is set at 1.4 no UV, with absolutely no lock ups. BFQ and smartass yield the highest fps for me on V13RC.

I thought we weren't supposed to use performance because it doesn't respect thermal safeguards. Am I correct?

Performance would be a bad idea over long periods of time. Essentially since it runs the phone at the highest possible frequency for 100% of the time, it stresses the CPU much more than any other option. This could cause overheating if used for too long, not to mention the toll on your battery. We all assume that it would decrease the life of your processor because it logically could, but that isn't a big deal sienc you'll likely be upgrading long before the processor would begin to fail regardless of what you do with it now.

Interesting, when I set BFQ and Smartass on mine I get force closes on the simple apps, for instance the internet browser or file viewer. But when I play games on it I dont get any force closes on the games.
Maybe try clearing data on voltage control & reflashing kernel. I have been running my current configuration on MIUI, CM7, and now Pool Party for the last 90 days or so with no issues.

Assuming you mean "safe" then yes over short periods of time it's fine. If you tried to run at a high clock on performance all the time you would probably get heat and battery life problems.
I'm running miui and glitch v12 and I find it very strange that my phone runs really good (almost as good as any combination that I tested) on conservative governor.

Thats not strange at all really. I've had it last multiple days with data and everything off, conservative, and underclocled to 800mhz when I needed to be away from a charger for a while.
and it performed really well.

Show off your OC and UV settings here.

Every TF is different. Someone has reported being able to unvervolt by -250 or more. I don't know how the hell he did it. Anyway, I thought I'd start this thread to let people show off their OC and UV settings. I thought I could get a feel on what the stable limits are.
Remember, guys, it's only considered stable if the camera doesn't freeze. I don't care how much stress test you do. If your camera doesn't work, then it's not stable.
The 2 lowest clock settings there are, it's like 250 and 320 mhz or something I can run a 250 undervolt. This is extremely useful because I run on interactive and my tablet runs on almost no battery at all while on standby.
As for my underclocks up from that to about 1590s(My tablet can't handle 1600s) I have a steady 65 undervolt for all frequencies. I found battery life to be amazing...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Hi there! What are you using to undervolt and/or overclock? I'm using CPU Master Free to overclock, but it doesn't have any undervolting options.
EDIT: also, which kernel are you using that supports Undervolting and Overclock?
Prime kernel doesnt seem to support uV at the moment
Blades does
Clemsyn does
Dont think netformer does
Settings im still playing and waiting for uV on prime kernel as ive found it the most stable at the moment will post back later

Does your camera work when you set everything to -65? My camera will not work if I unvervolt 608 or 456 mhz.

How do I disable Touch Booster?

Hey guys, touch booster is really annoying on this phone. It pushes the phone to 1.06GHz everytime I touch it, and is starting to bug me.
Is there anyway to keep it scaling up properly?
I'm no expert at this stuff, but isn't this fast jump in CPU clock what pretty much makes Project Butter possible?
If I understand right (and I probably don't), I think this might have to do with with governor in-use. If your rooted; try using a different governor and then touching the screen.
Great, so now people are complaining about Project Butter's features... ok
How exactly does something like this bug you?
People are getting way too picky with this phone now. Relax, its a phone guys

The CPU goes up when you touch it so it can be responsive and quick to your inputs. How is this so annoying?
If you root it you can lower the max or change the governor buy chances are you will lose much of your responsiveness.
I understand that it is good for us to discuss issues and problems but some of the things I am seeing here are just really nit picking and complaining about things that are not bad at all. We are a spoiled society of humans, some more than others i guess.

Get some CPU control app and change the minimum frequency from 1GHz to 384MHz.

Under clocking will save battery in most cases but ot will also make your phone sluggish and slow depending on how much.

That will make your phone run so slow and crappy... Why have a decent cpu if the plan is to chop it? This defeats the entire purpose of having a 1.5ghz clock speed..

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Check the meaning of "MINIMUM CPU FREQUENCY".
P.S. O and btw I'm changed it to 384MHz on my Nexus 4. AND........wait for it........my nexus 4 is not slow and crappy........woo mind blown!
What I find interesting is on the nexus 4 the governor is on demand , and the scaling range is 0mhz- 1026mhz ( you can check using CPU spy +)
However on the nexus 10 , the governor is interactive and the scaling range is 0mhz -200mhz
I wonder why that is

Try No-frills CPU control, or even AnTuTu CPU Master.

Nexus 10 is a dual core tablet, not a phone. Check your PC some time or laptop. They scale totally differently than a phone does.

mpdecision

I'm running fauxs kernel, and in his op it says for battery life to turn mpdecision off. When I leave it on only the first 2 cores run and idle at 384mhz, but when I turn it off all 4 cores are running constantly, and the 3 & 4 core idle at 702 mhz. Maybe I'm missing something, but how can turning mpdecision off be better on battery when you have all 4 cores running constantly instead of 2?

mpdecision kicks in when you touch the screen it ramps the min cpu speed to 1026 so it uses more battery but increase responsivness

See, that I knew already, and it does make sense. But when I turned mpdecision off, it was doing the exact same thing, but instead of only having the first two cores online, it had all 4 cores online constantly with the last 2 at 702mhz. From what I read, people are saying turning mpdecision off is better for battery but I just don't understand how it could be with 4 cores running constantly instead of 2, unless I'm doing something wrong (which I probably am lol)

Minimum cpu frequency.

Just curious what everybody is setting their cpu minimum frequencies at. I am not too concerned with battery life so I was thinking of setting mine a little higher to keep everything as smooth as possible. Is there a risk to raising the minimum frequency?

I think you would benefit more from choosing another governor instead Try intellidemand or interactive := Both of these should be better than ondemand

i have mine set at 300000 so when my phone goes into deep sleep it's using little cpu power, but i also have interactive governor so that when i turn the screen on there's no delay and the kernel and cpu have what they need to be snappy.
this thread tells you all you need to know about governors and i/o schedulers.
