Hello, I am having quite the issue on PowerAMP.. I am running Juggernaut 5.0 and when a song is playing, it likes to studder real bad in the middle of the song... Studder is the only word I can use, but its more like a skip as well. I have went into options and set the audio buffer size to 750MS even and it still did it, so I set it back to Auto. I am still having the issues and I have no clue how to fix it. My phone isn't running low on memory because Juggernaut always keeps my memory at around 300 used, and 450 open or so, so I wouldn't think thats the issue.
Any help would be much appreciated and thanked!
I don't use juggs, but it could be how its handling memory(kernel). Like you said its killing processes and lowering memory usage. or maybe the sd card you use is the problem. could be a few things
I never thought about the SD card being the problem! That seems logical! I am going to have to transfer all my music to my internal memory and see if that fixes it! Thank you!
You could try removing everything off of it and placing it on the pc, then format the card. Put everything back and try it.
Well, I know the SD card that is in it is a 16GB low speed one, I couldn't tell ya the class because its transferring all my music to my computer right now, so I can't pull it... I would think because it has a low transfer speed that it would also effect the I/O speeds, meaning the audio could be skipping from that. I can't believe I let that go over my head!
Once again, thank you!
Could also be the i/o scheduler or governor you have set for the kernel.
governor is set to ondemand @ MAX 1728MHz and MIN 1728MHz and the I/O scheduler is deadline with a sampling rate of 50,000, and up threshold of 75%, a powersave bias of 0.
Although, I have never messed with the I/O scheduler because I know not enough about it to tweak it or its values. :/

I like noop
I just changed it to noop. If not too much trouble, could you explain to me the scheduler (how it works) and the values I mentioned?

oh man, I am going to have some reading to do. Thank you very much! and thanked again!
Just wanted to post an update; I found the issue. It was the SD I/O speed. I transfered it all to internal and it doesn't do it anymore! Thanks!

Holy crap! I was getting this on darkside. next time i flash Darkside im going to see if this fixes it as well!
Yeah, I just left my music going for 30 minutes straight while doing some cleaning, and no skips whatsoever with transfering the music to internal memory (emmc). It seems to just be the read speed of the SD.
Try also changing the io scheduler to bfq to prioritize the most active process.

I am trying to find a governor that will give me good performance (no lag) but also good battery life. I was told that SMARTASSv2 is the one to use for the best of both worlds. However, I notice that when I look in SETCPU, the frequency jumps all over the place and never settles down even when the phone isnt doing anything. Is there a fix for this? I am running LIONFISH 1.6 Kernel. If there isnt a fix, what is a recommended governor?
Thanks.....

I always use ondemand,no matter how many governors there are,its always did me right as far as battery and speed go,very smooth.

here is what I have always read about ONDEMAND and why I really dont use it:
"OnDemand scales its clock speed in a work queue context. In other words, once the task that triggered the clock speed ramp is finished, OnDemand will attempt to move the clock speed back to minimum. If the user executes another task that triggers OnDemand's ramp, the clock speed will bounce from minimum to maximum. This can happen especially frequently if the user is multi-tasking. This, too, has negative implications for battery life. "
Im now testing intellidemand but there appears to be a lag when opening programs (mail, contacts, etc).

Try smartass instead of 2,see if that balances it out.

Does same thing. Intellidemand is pretty snappy and I watch the setcpu screen and it raps down and up nicely.. the only issue is opening apps.. small lag but once you are in the program its quick

Maybe try a full reboot.Clear cache and delvik.

tried that.. same issue... Does anyone run intellidemand and if so, how does it work with the evo in terms in performance and battery life.. so far so good here except for the small lag wen opening programs
not sure what ROM you are on..but the Mason kernel w/ wheatley gov is treating me nicely, I spend most of my time at either 245 or 960..it does ramp all the frequencies in between thought as well. Maybe try underclocking your device..I like to keep my freq. high because I want my EVO to perform! With that being said, with normal usage (lots of texts, few calls, moderate web browsing, some GPS use), I am seeing at least 40% left after 16 hrs.
I personally use ondemandx which is in lionfish 1.8 or underworld v0.5. I find that smartass, V2 specifically. Changes frequency way to often and causes random reboots because our CPU doesn't handle that many frequency changes that quickly. Interactivex or ondemandx seem to be the best for me. They are both good on battery and very snappy.

I noticed this too with SMARTASS (both versions). I was trying INTELLIDEMAND yesterday, but with 5 hours on battery (anker 1700), and almost no use (mostly stand by) I was down to 78% battery. I am now back to interaxtiveX
Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me whats the best CPU Scalling Governor setting for best battery life in AokPlay (Build 36) and also not to bad performance for daily use like web browse etc?
Cheers for answer!
Smartass is the best for any situation in my opinion.
Wats this "noop" scheduler option and where can you find it? I seen few users talking about it aswell.

Im not entirely sure, But I believe its a governor in setCPU.
Heres an explaination:
Noop:
Inserts all the incoming I/O requests to a First In First Out queue and implements request merging. Best used with storage devices that does not depend on mechanical movement to access data (yes, like our flash drives). Advantage here is that flash drives does not require reordering of multiple I/O requests unlike in normal hard drives.
Advantages:
Serves I/O requests with least number of cpu cycles. (Battery friendly?)
Best for flash drives since there is no seeking penalty.
Good throughput on db systems.
Disadvantages:
Reduction in number of cpu cycles used is proportional to drop in performance.

EDIT: This link has other pages containing explanations of other governors as well.
Smartass is still my favorite (Use v2 of course though)
Hi,
Im having some huge problems with performance on my phone.
Earlier I was on stock, now I am on x3reme sense
Usually when I go to Apps, and I see space available for apps it shows me around 400mb
When the Phone is really lagging and unresponsive, the space it shows me is around 90mb. I am really confused as to what is eating that space sometimes?
Another issue is that the phone takes over 5 minutes to open a SMS thread, i think it gets stuck in a loop while searching for contacts. Any ideas for improvement?

Try different governors & i/o scheduler.
I dont have this problem
i use smartassV2 with bfq
Try it.
OKay. What is the min & max clockspeed you suggest?

Which kernel do you use for bfq? With the kernel I'm using (jmz) I get only a cfq, sio , noop and deadline option

I m using Titanium kiss
use cfq.
use stock rom.
use stock, over clock or make a swap. I don't know if its psychosomatic but after making a swap all of my problems went away with pacman.
when I oc, I usually keep the min as low as possible, and for the max 1400. I use Lionheart and noop or deadline. it depends. if I'm playing games I usually clock it a little higher.

I touched some no frills cpu control settings and now my benchmark results are about 19000-22000 and it used to be like 24000 i tried changing the rom and all that stuff if someone can give me the stock governator and all frequencys and that stuff it would be helpful.. Thanks i need help i dont know what to do
Now i cant do any better than 23000

Firstly, I assume by the size score that you are using Antutututu. If so then you always get variance in the scores, and yes it can be 4k difference.
Next, I'm gonna bet that you are seeing thermal throttling, where the device is turning off 2 of the cores due to heat.
I've only noticed this behaviour recently myself. It's a real pain in the arse. I've downloaded trinity kernel app to get around the problem. In his app you can turn off thermal throttling and force the two other Cores to stay on.
This isn't a permanent fix though as the settings don't want to stick for some reason that is beyond me.
Next, is there no reset to default in no frills cpu app ?
Or you can uninstall no frills and make sure you delete any folders off your sd card, then either reflash your rom or you could even flash AICP kernel.
This should get you back to default.
Finally if you still think it's your settings, you could tell us all the settings you have changed and between the guys on the forum we could tell you what to change back to.
All the best rich
**just had a quick look at no frills on play Store. Looks like there's not loads to alter.
I like interactive governer and row scheduler (as we can't get row I use deadline.)
Min frequency wants to be at 384 and max at 1728.
That's the basics.

Ok, so, for some reason ROW works waaaay better and is more responsive for me than the now default "NOOP". Now, I know there is no best scheduler, but what are you guys using personally?
I mean, yes, NOOP works better on flash memory, but this device is just so freaking weird sometimes, like, ROW on M7 has hiccups for me, but here its great, while NOOP is a few miliseconds slower with transition and opening apps for the first time. And how would I go to fix Chrome not opening instantly? Theres always a hang, and I dont see it on OP3 or the 6p.
At least they fixed the scroll lag on the device.

Not smart enough for this but I believe someone who builds kernels and he's an expert, he uses fiops so am I.

I'm using ZEN, just for a few hours now, looking goooood (elementalx 5.04)
FIOPS: and old cfq made for flash storage (deprecated)
I prefer use CFQ or BFQ (I/O sched of Linux Mainline)
