Hey guys.
What is your favorite governor?
Please post which one and the average performance and average battery life you get!
Hope this helps those of us who are trying to find the perfect balance for the M.

With the info in my sig:
1.89/1.512 SmartassV2 sio and MP-Decision off with Trickstermod
On average with as much as I use my device (which is ALOT) around 13-15 hours and it has serious performance!
Right now I'm using Interactive as governor and Deadline as scheduler: the one that came stock with the CM10.2 ROM. Battery life is decent (not as good as with the stock Motoblur ROM). I still have to make some experiments: I want to test the stability of the ROM before I start changing parameters!

Hey guys, in your opinion what gives the best battery life on a sense ROM like Mikshift? BC's 1.5GHz, 1.8GHZ or X99, Scary Kernel, ect. Just curious what some of your experiences are..

I have been running mikshift since the beta along with bcnice20 oc uv 1.5 kernel with amazing battery life, if I forget my charger I don't even worry the standby time of that set up is just amazing ran for 24 hours on wifi with about 5 hours of using the net,tapatalk and about 75 texts and was at 50% at 24 hours of being unplugged its the only setup ill run, sometimes ill throw the 1.8 on there just to show everyone I can go that high but its never needed. I run at 1516 max 368 min conservative with a screen off profile for 806 max and 368 min no complaints here at all!! Its actually the only setup I'm willing to run!

Go with the x99 kernel without changing any settings. Just flash and leave it alone. Easy 2 days like that

Hello, first of all this is my first post and thread. I have read the rules and searched for a similar thread. I am not stupid and I know how forums work. Now my question is: Which is the most performant kernel for the MT4G?
Know to be more specific, I am looking for a kernel which a very high OC and UV rate. I want something that can easily manage clock speed when it needs it the most. I am interested in genereal boosts of speed, higher I/O managing speeds, better gaming experiences and a longer battery life. I know that the kernel doesnt do all of that but it has a major impact those aspects. I am running CM7 nightly 144. Im hesitating between Faux123 Cm7/AOSP 2.6.35.13 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113697) and thederekjay 2.6.35.13::demonSPEED INSANITY kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113554). I appreciate anykind of constructive feed back
I personally use demonspeed-insanity. It'll clock up to 1.8 atm. Couple that with the SMARTASS governor and you get a pretty decent balance of battery life to performance.
can't go wrong with either kernel, i've used both and their both outstanding in performance and battery life.

Thanks for the feedback guys . I'll probably try both of them. I'll post some quadrant benchmarks and battery life results.
Faux 123 1.0.7 is the best IMO, great uv and quadrant scores, got 2600+ on stock and battery life is great.
I have used both kernels and got great battery life from each one. I prefer Faux's kernel for AOSP roms, and thederekjay's kernel for MIUI roms. Faux updated his kernel to OC @ 2.03ghz and its blazing fast
Faux's all day!!!!
He has put in the most work and has the best performance by a wide margin.
Please share
1. your favorite governor (do you use any different governor on different profiles?)
2. your voltage parameters
3. Your benchmark using quadrant
Thanks
No one wants to play?
Maybe like me, they have no idea what you are talking about
What is a governor?
What voltage do you mean?
My quadrant score is 3900 ish
Thanks for the reply, I don't think I'm good enough to explain but, in a nutshell,
A governor is a a piece of code in the kernel that decides on the cpu speed. each kernel has multiple governors
voltage is where you can decide what voltage is delivered to your cpu at certain frequency. undervoltage will usually help you save battery. we have to pay attention not to go too low or it phone will freeze
download setcpu it will all become clearer
I will give this another bump before letting it die
Even I would be intrested in sharing this
currently I am using CF root with ondemand and its working all good
FM kernel with interactive. I find my phone snappier with this governor. I liked it the most with smartassv2 on Abysssomething (don't remember now) kernel, but too many teething problems with this one, had to revert to FM. I'll give it another shot soon though.

Do you use any additional profiles with Interactive?
Nope, I like the way it is.

Have you tried InteractiveX? Or, better yet, know the differences between the two? I am currently using smartassv2, FM kernel and have no complaints but would be interested if there was something a bit snappier when opening an app (I still get a bit of lag if I quickly select an app after unlocking the phone).
Yes, I've tried InteractiveX and OndemandX - they're both absolute rubbish (at least from my point of view). Both responsiveness and benchmark results were dismal (2800-3300 quadrant advanced). These are governors for anally retentive battery life lovers. Nothing wrong with that itself but beats the purpose when buying state of the art top shelf performance smartphone IMO.
Good to know. I appreciate the advice. Does that mean you also tried smartassv2 with the FM kernel? Any discernible difference between that and interactive, if you have? And sorry for all the questions but it saves me the trouble of trying them!
I just flashed the 1.3 FM a moment ago. Now running 100-1704 smartassv2, haven't played with voltages yet. Responsiveness in terms of screen scolling, lags & stutters seems better than 200-1400 interactive. Performance in Quadrant Advanced and Nenamark2 seems a tiny bit worse (but I don't really care about that, I use benchmarks only to roughly estimate, smoothness is what I'm after). I can't give you direct sources because I don't remember, but having spent several hours digging last weekend I concluded that for people who put performance slighly over battery life governors to be considered are interactive, smartass(v2), savagedzed and performance. Funny enough - I'm getting consistently worse benchmarks on performance governor on all kernels. I wonder why?
Thanks again. I will play around with some of the governors and settings to find the right fit. I think I will try savagedzen next but I am pretty happy with smartassv2 and may just stick with it.

Smartassv2 and vr. After reading a bit about it they seem to be the best for performance and balanced battery life.
i share with you my SetCPU config, voltage ...
it's very stable for me. It's not performance oriented but battery friendly.
what you think ?
EDIT : I use AbyssNote Kernel 1.2
I'm getting nice results here on FM Kernel 1.3. 1704mHz (1375mV) - 100mHz (775mV), lulzactive governor. 5000-5872 in Quadrant advanced, 32-35 in Nenamark2. Battery life good with low to med usage, poor when playing games, running satnav etc. - hardly a surprise We'll see about stability but so far so good.
This thread is finally picking off ! thank you all
I am currently on FM 1.3 and preferring lulzactive
I don't use any over clocking I guess I don't dare. is it safe?
I think i'm pretty aggressive with under voltage i'm running 1175mv at 1400mhz and 775mv at 200mhz. For some reason my phone freezes any time I use the 100mhz no matter the voltage .
Can you share the whole voltage for a comparison ?
with all this I can hardly get a full day of use with my battery but I guess I'm a pretty heavy on usage. no gaming or anything extensive but wifi-browsing-emails-3g-bluetooth all day

I read on some other kernel thread that Samsung's implementation of the 100mhz step is incomplete/buggy. That's probably why it doesn't work properly.
Any idea how to underclock I've heard it increases battery life?

If you are using a custom ROM then the ondemand governance will take care of the underclocking when not in use and increase the clock frequency when your usage demands it. That provides reasonable battery saving while not compromising on performance.
Fixing the frequency to a lower limit might increase the battery life but has serious performance issues. Might be handy in critical battery saving situations though.
SetCPU, CPU Master etc.. Such apps can let you modify the upper and lower clocking limits.
Cheers for the replies,where do I get the oc,as for set CPU..you mean one of killersloths kernel scripts?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Most of the kernels that you can find in the development section have OC scripts already in them.
SetCPU is an app and can be found in the market : https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5taHVhbmcub3ZlcmNsb2NraW5nIl0.
keep in mind that undervolt = giving less power to CPU = can cause damage overtime or reduce battery life.
I mean all these undervolt things don't increase battery time by a huge difference than stock and risking your CPU for just 15 minutes of battery life isn't worth it in my opinion...
Hey,
What are people using for their governor and scheduler?
I'm currently using Interactive and SIO. Performance is good but the battery isn't great in my opinion. It's a lot better when idling obviously.
I'm not using Lock to 100MHz because I find that sucks more battery than it saves to be honest.
What do you think?
wringing stechre
im using sio + smartass v2, and all Idle options from Devil Kernel (Devil Idle + Deep Idle) my battery last 1.5 day and performance is great, im on CM10
using smartassv2 with noop or sio...
Conservative and sio. Performance is good imo and battery life is great.
Ondemand + SIO = Best configuration for me - battery and performance -
I was using ondemand, but had some problems with screen waking up from sleep (ROM/flashing related problem). At the moment using smartassV2 with SIO, 368-1402MHz.
Getting 2 days of my battery with moderate usage, wifi & data only when needed.
Interesting most people are choosing SIO over NOOP, any particular reason?
