What scaling and governor do you use? How's you battery life with it?
I use smartassv2 1305-230mhz. Have you ever had any problems overclocking? reboots, heat ups?
Also, if I lower the min scaling freq to 122mhz will there be any downsides, or will battery life just increase?
I use smartass2 and cpufreq set 122-1075 mhz , the bettery life is acceptable .
On demand
200-1200
RcMix 12.2
ondemand 230-11500mhz
works perfect <3
Can someone tell me what the default values for the kernel that comes with build 5 are? I normally use Franco, but have been having some issues with it lately and want to try going back to regular kernel. After I flashed AOKP kernel back it shows the cpu settings as Minimum cpu 1026, On demand, and CFQ. I don't think those are right. I thought it was interactive with 384 min and deadline?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
All is fine. The 1026 Mhz min CPU freq is normal and it's like stock. It's for a "smoother experience" that when you touch the screen the min CPU freq goes to this freq for a time and after goes down to 384 Mhz, it's the Mpdecision stuff, some kernel devs have disable it for battery life and you can set the 384 Mhz freq as a minimum CPU freq "all the time" (related to the Cpu load). As for the governor it's Ondemand by defaut, i/o scheduler too.
Do a little search for more detailed information...
Nothing is wrong here...
Thanks for the confirmation!
S2 custom kernel tuning thread
Updated: 22/10/15
Welcome to my universal tuning guide for the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. This guide will cover different profiles I've created to meet every single situation, whether you want to save more battery life or to have more gaming performance.
Here is a following list of kernels that this thread will apply to:
- DorimanX kernel
- Apolo kernel
- Gustavo kernel
- DU kernel by Arnab
- Other kernels with variable changing support with underclocking and overclocking support
Guides:
- General Profiles
- Special Profiles
- Kernel Specific Profiles
List of things to do:
- Down threshold tuning
Changelog:
Code:
[B]24/10/15:
v1.1 [/B]
- updated most profile settings
- Added sampling rate tuning
[B]22/10/15:
v1 [/B]
- initial thread bring up[/SIZE]
General Profiles
These profiles will suit most devices and are generally used by most people with custom kernels. Of course, settings here are found on all custom kernels listed in the OP.
Please also be mindful that some governors behave better on certain kernels than others. Here is a list of governors that are known to work well on the following kernels:
- DorimanX kernel -> HYPER
- Apolo kernel -> PegasusQ
- Gustavo kernel -> PegasusQ (I think most governors work fine anyway)
Normal use/Default
Max CPU frequency: 1200mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor: Ondemand/PegasusQ
Sampling rate: 50000
Up threshold: 85 or 75
IO scheduler: SIO/CFQ/ROW
Performance
Max CPU frequency: 1200
Min CPU frequency: 200
CPU governor: HYPER/NeoX/PegasusQ
Sampling rate: 50000
Up threshold: 60
IO scheduler: SIO/ROW/ZEN
Even more performance!!!
Max CPU frequency: 1300mhz (Personally, I don't recommend 1600mhz because it can be unstable, 1300mhz or 1400mhz should be fine on most devices)
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz or higher (Don't set this too high, personally, I think anything below 500mhz is still capable of good performance)
CPU governor: HYPER/NeoX
Sampling rate: 30000
Up threshold: 50 or 60
IO scheduler: SIO/ROW/ZEN
Gaming
Max CPU frequency: 1200mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor: HYPER/NeoX/PegasusQ
Sampling rate: 40000

IO scheduler: SIO/ROW/ZEN
Battery life
Max CPU frequency: 1000mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor: Ondemand/zzmoove
Sampling rate: 120000
Up threshold: 90
IO scheduler: SIO/noop
Even more battery life!!
Max CPU frequency: 800mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor: Ondemand/zzmoove
Sampling rate: 120000
Up threshold: 90
IO scheduler: SIO/noop

Kernel specific Profiles
These profiles are for people who have custom kernels that have unique settings
gsstudios's dorimanx default profile
Max CPU frequency: 1200mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor (AWAKE): HYPER
CPU governor (SLEEP): Ondemand
Awake Up threshold: 70
Sleep Up threshold: 75
IO scheduler (Awake and Sleep): SIO
TCP algorithm: Westwood
gsstudios's optimized apolo kernel profile
Max CPU frequency: 1200mhz
Min CPU frequency: 200mhz
CPU governor: PegasusQ
Up threshold: 75
IO scheduler: SIO
Any suggestions will be great so that our fellow S2 users can have the best custom kernel experience!
I also encourage sharing of your own profiles in this thread. Just stay on topic and all will be fine :good: :victory:

This thread should be in OP. I learned a bit from there , because i could take a profile , test it , adjust some valumes test (...) again again... and finally create STweaks profile , thay suits be best.

I will have to ask eskriminal to update the stweaks OP, but since we don't see him on XDA anymore, this may not happen.
Is there a chance someone will add back the 100MHz CPU step? Siyah had it and I think it helped save power in some situations, like when playing music.
Also, can someone recommend a widget to quickly change profiles? Voltage control was good but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

What kernel are you using? Dorimanx kernel allows underclock to 100mhz, apolo kernel uses stock frequencies, Gustavo kernel also allows 100mhz (i think)
Edit: Gustavo kernel doesn't support 100mhz

Using Gustavo_s kk kernel 04-02-TWRP-TRIM... 200mhz is minimum, according to Synapse. To be honest, I've had bad experience with Dorimanx kernels before (tried 5-6 versions, always buggy or horrible performance). I might give it another try, I see that you maintain it now. Thank you.
Hey!
Does the performance mode on S7 keep the cpu and gpu at max freq. Or does it just boost the clock more?
(This can be seen by installing trepn profiler and then selecting "performance graph")

Use the CPU section to set the CPU governor to performance or userspace and the CPU frequency to max 1209 mhz if you are not too worried about battery. A hardcoded hardware throttle kicks in if the CPU and battery temperature are too high so set a frequency that is sane to you.
