Please share your voltage and governor

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.

SetCPU best speed

Hey everyone, just wanted to post this to see what cpu speed works best for you guys.. Im using these preset things with the program like performance or power saver etc but i dont seem to notice a difference all of them seem to be the exact same.. Wondering how to make it good for like 50% power and 50% performance, basicly balancing the 2 out as long as its better than stalk and not burning out my cpu.. so thanks, let me know what works for you guys as ive heard its slightly different for everyone else
(HTC EVO 4G)

I use the standard "ondemand" governor with a 998max-245min, but the thing I found makes the most difference are the settings under "Advanced".
I use the below "Advanced" settings along with a 245-245 screen off profile.
Seems to get me the best battery and cpu scaling.
It also helps to use an undervolting kernel like Freedom-More.
Try that for a couple days.
NOTE: click the apply button a couple of times (might be bug but they sometimes don't take on 1 button click). Try them as is without "Set on Boot", until you are sure that your phone likes them. Plus, check after a reboot that you verify/reapply them.
Sampling rate: 20000
Up Threshold: 85
Ignore nice load: 0
Powersave Bias: 14

I'm at 691200 on smartass governor with 245000 as min on Rcmix rom

The "presets" are how the cpu scales i'd use "interactive" or "smartassv2" 245 min and max at 998+ then search around for here for various profile set-ups

I'm running the Gingerbread-Evo-Deck 1.3 with a Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS HAVS Kernel. I'm also undervolted 50mV, and using the interactive x governor set at 128MHz-768mhz. Running a few other simple tweaks learned from Carhauler, and I've got excellent battery life and great performance.

I currently run mine on an ICS rom & it comes standard with a tiatmat 4.1.0+ kernel & the cpu is running at about 245mhz-1036mhz with smartass governor(I usually set it to smartass v2 but it switches back to smartass haha). My battery life for me is enough to get me thru the day.

Which ICS rom are you running?

I currently running RCMix3d Runny® Sense 3.5. Should I just got with ICS to overclock or just find a kernel that allows it?

My battery life is extremely good.

Ram of repencis? please Do help me?

Okay i start with my 1st RAMUSAGE
its about 190-240mb then i use v6supercharger and find bloatware and freeze of all them so that they will not run on background
and then i GOT 171-186-220mb or RAM so im thinking if there anymore bloatware?all of them maybe???
coz somewhere here he helps me i forgot his name but he go 130-160mb RAM usage using repencis with v6 and freeze bloatware
thanks in advance More power XDA

Hmm..nope imo both have heavy ram consumption Creeds better with an init.d working kernel since it got very good init.d scripts included in it.

i think it depends on application that start on boot.. like dps im the man that dont want music though kinda want it a bit.. D at 1st install i got 190-240 just like mention because of built in apps try to use it D

DSP takes max of 4mb ram bro. Not a big deal. Creeds 3.5 has very minimal running apps compared to rep 3.5 and it has stock kernel. Beginners dont know how to use repencis kernel effectively, if they dont underclock the cpu and change governers/i/o or stuff , creeds 3.5 is better since stock kernel is better optimized for normal usage

Your kernel support underclocking by using setcpu or no-frills cpu or antutu cpu master or cpu tuner.
Once you use them youll get to know.
Use Lagfree or lionheart or smoothass governer with sio i/o for gaming or heavy performance.
Use smartassv2 governer and sio i/o for balanced performance.
Use ondemand or conservative governor with deadline i/o for battery saving.

Hmm..Its the frequencies mate. It ranges 312-624-832. Use 312-624 for battery saving/balanced and 312-832 for performance/more balanced and use the governor combo I gave before. Just mess around with the setcpu app. Youll know it eventually. And use the latest setcpu . It has more features and easy to understand,

now i get between the setting about frequencis so i will use 312-832
i got the set cpu 3.0.0 and i will apply it
and what about the governor thingy? where will i get them?
and the benefits all of these is for ram and for fast and stable SGY?

hey master.. i got shock its 1st time in history of my battery
when ever i got to sleep example my battery percent it 86%
when i wake up my battery is either 86%-85%-84% its just like that i will not go 79% like that
but when i wake up i touch my phone and its kinda bit Hot this time my battery when i sleep is 92% then when i woke up
the battery percentage is 56%
what should i do? i set the right
i set ondemand and deadline
and 312min and 832 max

Wierd. Are you sure after this change only this happens? Change governor to bcm21533 and io to noop and 312-832 for the stock or original your before frequency. Try using smartass v2 or interactive or conservative and check the battery drain.

Best setting for kernel

Can any one tell me best governer and io sheduler settings for
extreme power saving ?
very good powersaving(next to extreme) with little lags?
extreme performance?
I am using savie`s kernel aroma 73 with 18 governers and 5 iio shedulers.

Just install cpu spy and see how much % ure each mhz is being used on using a particular governer and i/o schedular......

my setting is
max=832
min=468 or 624
governor=lionheart
i/o=deadline
no lag and battery friendly
try it..

If search in xda "Best settings for kernel" you will found thousend of thread with this question.. So,next time search before posting..
Best setting for kernel is,
Gov-smartass v2
I/O-sio/cfq

[Solved]smartassv2 or interactive. which one battery save?

recently im flashing percy gnu#9 kernel on my gy..
im stuck choosing right gov for me.. dont tell another gov as i already make some researh through google but cant find any source about smartassv2 vs interactive..
furthermore gnu#9 didnt have ondemand which i use before..
i choose this two because it balance between perfomance and battery life..
please help me between this 2 gov, which one is most battery friendly and what io sched best for it..

so i revert back to use interactive that always stay at 168 freq in same environment which i see just a little battery consumption..
thats y i ask u to put ondemand gov in ur kernel..
