Okay,so i made this thread so that development thread become less spammed with your questions.
Please,share your opinions here and ask questions,someone will answer you,and share your screenshots of battery life.
I personally use PegasusQ+VR,it gives great performance and good battery life.
My second choice would be Abyssplug+SIO,especcialy for the hotplug feature.
(In case you dont know what Hotplug is,its the feature that turns off the second core when your phone is not in use.)
I cant decide wich is better,tommorow ill test Hotplug+sio,and ill post screenshots of both tommorow.
Please,ask any questions here,dont spam Benz's threads.
Thank you

OnDemand + CFQ (Like in stock ROM) the only way that don´t dry my battery.
With that combination my phone is slow like hell..have you tried those that i wrote.

Hi, can you tell me the best combination of governors to use. I'm using latest cm
10.1 maclaw build with hotplug and noop, but i think CPU its not sleeping cause i loose about 5% battery in 2hours withought using my fone at all. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app ?
Hotplug governor is indeed a joke, at least in Maclaw's CM (not surprised). There is no way to set it up for low battery drain /and/ reasonably smooth functionality. Right now I am using Ondemand + CFQ while playing with the powersave bias and up threshold parameters. The only thing I wish I had from Maclaw/Benz's kernel is the vr/sio schedulers.
You have VR and sio schelduer in Benz's kernel,and Abyssplug governor with real hotpulg feature,when you dont use the phone cpu shuts down one core and the remaining core runs on 200Mhz and 1% usage.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would gladly use that kernel if it didn't have the dirty flickering fix. And if it didn't require CM10.1 reboot edition.
Also, when I was on CM i ran a logcat with hotplug activated. The second core would often reactivate even if the phone wasn't doing anything, with the screen turned off, then soon turn off and after a few seconds repeat the process. Maybe this phone really needs the core.
What flicketing fix? I got no flickering on the latest Maclaws cm and benzs kernel..and it shuts down the core,you can see with system monitor when your screen is on..dunno for screen off,but i get like 1% drained for a hour with screen off
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The 63 fps refresh rate, which "fixes" the UI flickering.
And yes, I saw the second core turning off myself. However, I am not sure if it keeps being off enough time.
Well in maclaws rom i dont have flickering,but in olivers i had. I dont know,i got decent battery life. Not good as stock,but its ok

And what exactly is so wrong with 63 fps refresh rate? Will your screen fry because of it? No it won't because it can't. Will your phone explode while being used? No it won't because it can't. What's the issue here then? Tell me.

Have you considered the battery drain implications? The battery is weak enough as it is, a higher than normal refresh rate only wastes more GPU power thus more battery.

I run trinity kernel on my Gnex and N7 and on my N7 I keep it stock speeds because I've seen no reason to realistically OC it. Most of the improvements I see are from the kernel software changes over stock. You can OC to 1.6 safely but I'm not sure of the power usage difference but I'm pretty sure the loss in power isn't worth the gain from OCing.

I have mine at 1.6 just for the hell of it, I get a good 4 or 5 hours of continuous usage out of it.

My thoughts exactly. I play some light games and web browse on my Nexus 7.
For those purposes, my Nexus 7 is already extremely fast, so I don't think I would be able to notice if it was over clocked.
But I guess it depends, maybe there's a big difference when running GPU heavy games.
I have OC mine upto 1640 MHz for bench marking alone for half and hour or probably more and it went fine although the tablet was getting warmer more than usual.

I am currently OC to 1.5yghz, is that a safe level to keep it at full time? Or can that burn the cpu out?

there is no such thing as a safe overclock. overclocking, by nature, carries some risk. that said, i havent seen anyone brick their device from overclocking.

Just wondering
Why do you feel the need to OC?
I go to 1.6 but use the Trinity App to go back to stock when OC not needed
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have not over clocked the Nexus 7 yet but one way to test your devices max is to use setcpu. Make sure you do not have "set on boot" option selected. Then step up your cpu. If your cpu can not handle the over clock it will force restart. If you do not have the set at boot selected it will revert back to the last good state on restart.
Each device is different on what it can handle for over clock.

To be honest I doubt you'll notice much increase from oc the CPU since the CPU already is so powerful nothing pushes it to max really.
Only thing worth overclocking is GPU really. And at that, your not going to notice a difference unless your playing some intense games.
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?

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.

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

Want to share with you, experimented the XXLT5 on GTN7000. Superb ROM....so far no issues....you name it, it works fine. Note the downloaded file is above 1GB...seems this has all the fixes required. You can root it as well....if any issues found on this stock rom do let me know....will be interested to catch the bug.
Link for download...http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213299077/83496c8/N7000XXLT5_N7000OXXLT2_XEH.zip.html

Installation...as usual....Odin...so have a latest pack..open, select the PDA and good to go.

first, whats your upgrade procedure, try without restoring stuff and let os settle in. restoring app+data usually causes this with me.
Also what app do you use for measuring cpu usage. That may be off for some reason. Also note cpu utilization v. s. governor. Example on demand scales up frequency when e. g. uses 80%, so it will seem high, but in regard to frequency it is not. Due to battery savings lower frequencies are used, until 80% frequency is reached before going to a higher frequency, thus for same task higher utilization of that frequency it may not be a bad indication is what I am saying.
Now a rom usually needs some time to synch, perform breakin tasks, scan all media etc, try to see through settings, development options then cpu utilization what is utilizing cpu. Maybe app has gone bad, rogue, or maybe its expected.

Fine i repeat u can use greenify and delete apps u dont use set ur cpu frequency lower if u turn off screen.
Theres also an app which can also save alot of battery. When screen is off ur data will be always on unless u deakivated it. So it enables every 15min or whatever time u set ur data to get notifications etc. So that save battery. Performance is controlled by governor.
It is only up to you whether u need lag free scolling or more battery.
