Hi XDAers
I’ve created this thread based on a recommended setup from geko95gek which seems to be working great for a bunch of us.
There is a major improvement in battery life, UI lag and general performance. I thought I would never get the battery improvements that a lot of us DHD owners have “desired” (very punny)
Of course, the combination is important, and obviously others have different ROMs that they favour.
What’s yours?
And what is so good about your combo?
(Please mention your reasoning based on performance, battery life etc).
This is mine:
rom: CM7.0.2
kernel: LorDmod V4.5.2 CFS BFQhs + lowervoltages -50mV (SMARTASS, MIN: 230, MAX: 1382MHz)

Really interesting about that new radio, I've heard people are saying it either the bees knees or the worst thing since sliced nuts.
But I guess that's why we're here to test! Good luck with the new kernel.

Nope haven´t tried it.. But it says only for nightly 57 kang, same with his 1.4..
Thanks....Battery life is very important to us.
Look at my signature
And I think setcpu is important as well..Especially in Advanced tab..
Enable Set on Boot
Sampling Rate 20000
Up threshold 95
Ignore Nice Load 1
Powersave Bias 200
And if there is smartass governer in your kernel,I prefer you to use smartass..
MDJs UD 1.8 with LordMods 4.5.2 runs just fine and smooth. Details down at my sig

Well, you can use setcpu..And I think this is for people whose kernel doesn't have smartass governer.CM7 kernel all has smartass governer nowadays,so i prefer you to use smartass..
And here is explanation,may be not all correctly sorry for poor English
Sampling Rate 20000 shorter~speed, longer~bettery prefer 20000~30000
Up threshold 95 shorter~speed, longer~bettery 95 prefered
Ignore Nice Load 1 If you choose 0,For example you open an app,the cpu will go up to 998,but if you choose 1,your cpu will only be set at 614,and it doesn't effect your speed
Powersave Bias 200 shorter~speed, longer~bettery prefer 100~200
MDJ Ultimate Droid V1.7 w LordMod 3.1.3 kernel (288MHz - 1.3GHz)
I absolutely love the battery life. Never gotten such a good battery life.
Moderate usage, including about 2 hour of radio playback, about 18 hours a day and it has frigging 25% battery left!
I'm on this configuration and it seems great!
ROM: CM 7.0.2
Radio/RIL: 12.54.60.25fP_26.09.04.11_M2 (Latest)
Kernel: Stock CM (Looking into alternatives, curious )
[ROM] Android Revolution 5.1.1
[RADIO+RIL] 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
[KERNEL] mdjs_V8_2.6.35.10_OC1900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_VR
So that would be latest radio as of this post and that kernel allows overclock up to 1.9Ghz. But recommend at most 1.6-1.7Ghz as maximum using SetCPU app.
Issues with this combination:
1. WiFi disconnects automatically if signal is low. But there is a patch for that, or set high performance in wifi settings advanced or wait for ROM 5.1.2 later
2. Flash is broken. But can use Titanium Backup app to wipe flash cache and uninstall then re-install from marketplace.
No other issues after days of using.
Also what I do is examine everyone's signatures in development section for good combinations.
ROM : CM7 kanged 7.1 with the latest changes
Kernel : 2.6.32.39 cyanogenmod -ga56dc1b
I used the recommended radio 26.04.02.17 but after built 57 i faced a lot of bad receptions+worse battery life so i flashed the latest radio
26.09.04.11_M2 with matched ril 2.2.0131HM .
Now everything works fine, low battery consumption (3% overnight), no disconnection at all and keep testing

What RIL are you using. BTW 4.6 only works with post #57 nightly.
Hello, to start yes I'm really stupid! I did watch the video in the start to try and find the answer to the following questions but it just confuses me and I would really like to get this done, thanks and on to the question!
So minutes ago I got my CM7 working for the first time! And right away I wanted to increase the clock of my CPU but it won't go higher then 768 on setcpu. From what I managed to understand its because of the kernel... So is it possible to increase the max clock with another kernel, if so whitch one and how much is safe to clock?
Thanks!
HTC Buzz (Wildfire)
Android version 2.3.7
Kernel version 2.6.35.14
Mod: Cyanogen 7.1.0.1 build GWK74
Yes its the kernel that controls CPU speed, test it for a while at 768mhz as not many wildfires can even cope with that, if you have problems random reboots, freezing etc then turn it down a little.
Kieranftw made a kernel called infinity ice or play I think? which made it possible to oc at 788 or 800mhz, mine was fine at 788 but very unstable at 800 so now I just settle for 768 as I didn't really notice a difference between the two, any higher than that is asking for trouble imo.
ok thanks for the answer, ive had no errors with the current settings, maybe ill keep it like this for the moment
Hello,
I'm running Jbsourcery 4.1 and tried played games with Trinity & Franco Kernel (both overclocked).
When i e.g. play GTA Vice City the Game gets lags about every 10 seconds. (Changing the resolution or the draw distance doesn't remove this lags).
Could it be possible that another app runnin in the background causes this lags?
Any app i could use to check this?
Thanks in advance
..
Well, please consider the following three points in order to help you bettER:
1) Mention the CPU and GPU clock speeds of the kernel you are using
2) Keep the game running in the background, then check the "running" apps in settings so you can either spot something or share here the running apps to help you
3) What about any other "heavy" game? Same issue or running fine?
Waiting to hear from you

1) With Trinity: 1689-512 With Franco: 1536 and the standard Franco GPU (don't know which it's)
2)In Settings/Apps:
Settings (1 process/62 MB), Music Timer widget (1 process 1 service/3 MB), Facebook (1process 3 services/ 23 MB), Apex Launcher (1 process 1service/ 73MB), DSPManager(1 process 1 service/ 2,5 MB), Google-Services (2 process 1 service/ 13MB), Android -keyboard (1 process 1 service/25MB) RAM: 521MB in use, 172MB free)
3) Tried Modern Combat 4 + Gta Vice City and both lag
Good information
1) Have you tried any other ROM?
2) Try removing Apex Launcher then see how the game performs. Just a guess because other processes are mostly regular ones except Apex. And maybe it worths to try closing Facebook as well.
Is anyone here actually able to run GTA VC smoothly? I've tried everything. I'm starting to think this phone just can't handle this game.
I haven't tried vice city, but GTA III was the one game my g'nex just couldn't do smoothly. Fortunately the 7 takes care of that problem.

The Problem occures again and again after a while.. But when i wipe cache + dalvik cache +battery stats and reflash Rom+kernel the Problem disappeares for a time -.-
I think i try another rom the next days ..
Vice City runs normally (without this 10 second lag) rather smooth .. lags some times a bit but mostly not
Im running android revolution hd and theres a mod to enable force gpu rendering, So i'm just wondering if its good for a half gamer and half hard core phone user to have to it on to get better performance? I'm using trinity 1.3 ghz 4.2.2 kernel btw

Hello guys,
after a lot of test and research with my friend @ktoonsez finally i want ask to all community help us to fix a problem of touchwiz rom.
This thread is also to try to understand who have this problem as me.
First of all the scenario:
- i9505
- KK touchwiz rom (not important the base, i have tried omega, wanamlite,goldeneye, pure stock)
- Stock or custom kernel, is not important since this problem happens also on completely stock rom and kernel
The problem
After heavy playing games for 5/10 minutes the performance became very very low! Game starts to lag a lot and in few minutes became not really playable! The phone is quite hot in the upper part but not really really hot! Exiting game can fix the problem but not always. Only a complete reboot can fix completely the problem!
So i have decide to investigate and i have installed app like KtMonitor (included in kt kernel) or perfmon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933284) and i have noticed a very strange think!!!
When game start for the first time the cpu speed is max at 1890mhz
After a while the cpu goes to 1458mhz and stays at this freq for a while
After some minutes it scales down to 1242, then to 1134, then to 1026 then to 918 mhz!!!
*When 1134 mhz is reached gpu goes down to 304 mhz and when cpu is at 1026 freq the gpu is at 128/200
In this way the game is not playable anymore!
The only way to see again values upper 1242/1458 is to reboot or wait a long time (and this suggest me a thermal problem)
How reproduce the problem to see if i'm the only one or not!
Install ktmonitor or perfmon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933284) and lauch it
Install an heavy game such as Asphalt 8 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA8HM) or Real racing 3 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.games.r3_row) or Front line commando 3 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.flc2) or Ridge Racer Slipstream (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namcobandaigames.ridgeracerss)
Play for some minutes one of these games and during play monitor cpu and gpu (if you are using ktmonitor)
You should notice the cpu scale!
When u report your situation please report also your:
Rom (version also)
Kernel (version also)
Kernel settings (if available)
Bootlaoder version
Particular apps installed
Particular mod flashed
Thanks to all people who want's help me and the community to make these tests and try to find and fix the problem! If we wait for sammy fix...we can die before
Thanks to all!!
