I cant tell the difference between most of the cpu scaling options in setcpu. Which make the biggest changes from the default conservative i was on? I am unsure what others will do to my evo. I assume some use more batt. than others with increased performance... or something like that... help would be appreciated
SEARCH!!!

Anyone have a good explanation of the governer scaling for newer selections (smartassV2,smartass,powersave,interactive) There was a prior post I had seen I think on the captivate forum that spelled it out to people who don't understand the linux commands
Also I apologize if this has already been asked and answered search revealed nothing for me
PS: Anyone have a radio firmware package that seems to pull better signal than others they've tried?

-the smartass governor is based on the interactive governor and tries to get the best performance while keeping power consumption in check.
-powersave governor always keeps the CPU at the minimum set frequency
i've tried to search the forum, google, youtube, but can't find one, is there a guide on how to use this app? SYSTEM TUNER

You don't need a guide for the most part.
There's no reason to mess with most of the stuff it offers. Just mess with CPU and some of the stuff or voltages.
can you explain it further please? where can i change the voltage? and what does it do?

You only have the voltage option if your kernel supports it. The new Franco r10, Faux, and eternity should all support voltage option.
What do you do? It allows you to decrease voltages so the phone uses less energy thus saving more battery. Look in the respective threads to know safe/stable voltages. With you lack of knowledge on it (no offense) i'd recommend not messing around with it.
There's really nothing to do with system tuner right now besides undervolting. I'd recommend leaving everything else besides voltage stock.
Either way, I've found stock kernel to be the best still surprisingly as of right now. Best on battery and speed doesn't feel any different.

i do appreciate your input... thanks so much... i need to read and learn more before doing something..
Is there other apps that function like Trinity/Franco/Glados app? Because currently, I don't want to shell out a few bucks. I know i'm cheap, but just for now... Is there another app that is similar to those but free?
Also, I searched up SmartFlex, but I can't find an answer... Can anyone explain what it does?
I searched it, but I got answer like the system does not control CPU voltage or something.
Regarding the kernel apps... I don't think you'll find that in a free version. You could flash AOKP, which has some of those functionalities built-in the Rom Control menu in the Settings. There you can at least overclock & undervolt. For all the options you'll have to get the paid app however. Maybe reconsider buying them? At least the money goes to a good cause (that is the devs making those great kernels )
For the SmartFlex, I suppose you mean Smartreflex? I'm no expert on the matter, but as far as I know it's used to calibrate the voltages of the different hardware components like CPU & GPU. Turning off Smartreflex (if you've undervolted) will result in those components using 'stock' voltages, thus draining your battery faster. Difference should be minimal though, but I suppose it all depends on how far you undervolt.
Be wary with that by the way, too much undervolting could make your system unstable and in worst case damage the hardware...
Hm, one last question. For trinity kernel the Color Preset, it means the color setting is already in place right? So you don't have to adjust..
No you don't need to change the settings, but in the end it boils down to your own preference. Usually the defaults are fine of course.
I could use some helpful advice. No matter what kernel I switch to I get quite a few reboots. I am no expert. It gets kind of annoying. I do not overclock and have checked out the different GPU? (384,512) options that are out there. For some of the governors i check for the MAX_speed to be the same as the slider in the apps. If you could, it would be cool if @ anyone to give some feedback or if there is more information needed. GSM nexus/CM10 / trinity franco faux glados
EDIT- I think a battery overheat or sometimes the cpus run over or at max or if there is such a thing as overload?
I guess there must be other threads like this or posts. What exactly should be put in the search box? I'm not as smart as the rest of you.
Check the stickied post in galaxy nexus general section. MBQ's post has a lot of info
I use Elementalx custom kernel. All the things in its app confuse me. The only thing I understand is setting min and max CPU rates. I did a lot of searches on what everything else is and what to do with it, and nothing made sense. I need an explanation in layman's terms. Any help would be infinitely appreciated. My device stutters a lot and I don't get very good battery life.
You can take a look at this thread

There are a lot of basics and information.
I run EX too and leave the default settings as is. Flar knows more than me that's for sure!

Just leave the default settings as they are. The kernel devs know what they do.
I would recommend testing all kernels and choose the one that fits for you and your usage.
For me mvk is the best but I know people were mvk is not fitting their usage and they swear on francos or elemental or....
Test them all and find the best for you.
I usually turn off zram as this phone has so much ram it didn't seem to need it. Had no noticable issues or anything.
I thought leaving everything at default is the best thing possible for this phone, at least Flar said to not use any other governor other than default sched anyway. Phone is smooth enough for me to not tweak anything anyway. That was the point for buying this phone at first place, leave Google to do their optimisation and sorts so we can simply start using it and save time.
Use the "L speed" app by paget96 in the playstore.
