[Q] Android overclock governors

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could inform me as to what the different overclock governors mean? Like, what is the difference between having it set from minmax, scary, smartass, interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance, what does each of them do differently ? and which is best in which situation? If you can even refer me to somewhere that I could read about it that would be awesome too
Thanks in advanced!

I/O scheduler suggestions

So I have been delving into Rom toolbox, awesome app by the way,and I found an option under kernel tweaks to change the I/O scheduler, I have heard of these before in kernel descriptions,but I don't know what each one is,can anyone tell me which one is best or fastest, I know this is probably opinion but I just want people's two cents, thanks.

I use simple, just because the way android works that one is the best for battery.

If you can use sio that would be the one I would use.

Thanks guys, I did go with sio though it was hard to decide between it and noop
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

Sio is much better than book in most cases. You won't score better on a quadrant with that scheduler though. That is irrelevant though because it does process better. A good way to find out which is best for your device and rom is to run zeppelinrocks kick ass kernelizer. It will suggest which scheduler is best for your device.

Best IO Scheduler??

Hi everybody...
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the following information about IO Schedulers?
a) best for peformance? (I.e. gaming)
b) best for multitasking?
c) best for saving battery?
Thanks in advance

Recently I searched some info about this topic and these are my thoughs:
a) Noop
b) Sio
c) Not relevant. CPU Governor is key to save battery but not IO scheduler.

True but noop is a bit battery friendly.

OH MY FUC*IN GOD, man, try using performance governor, it set frequency to the max values all time, if game lag, use a new phone

I dont want to change my phone just i want a little bit more from my gio

So, set governor to performance when gaming. It's a stupid governor, like minnax, minmax set the min and the max at your min values, performanche the opposite: example --> performance governor ,Min 245 ,max 800, the frequency will be 800 at all time
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

you can also set the min value higher
min : 787
max: your highest overclock value
governor: performance

Sorry for maybe off topic but what frequency can fry up my cpu.so i can avoid

once more.
every hardware is different. some can OC to 960 Mhz without reboot problems, some can only get to 860 Mhz. you just need to find out how high you can scale.

Governors:
for good gaming : peformance
for super smooth gaming and 3d games : buy a better phone .

Thanks for your opinions

minmax gov
max overclock 921 mhz
miin overclcok 787 mhz

Minmax set frequency always to min value setted, so always 787, isn't better performance with 800-883?

CPU governors and I/O schedulers?

I've started this thread just to know the best governor and I/O scheduler combination. Post the combination which you think is THE BEST!

I use Deadline and Smartmax. Sometimes Smartassv2 or Ondemand as well.

This doesn't belong here.

and on to on topic, i use smartmax with Noop schedular
Noop is said to use less cpu cycles so its KIND Of a battery savin schedular

Smartmax + Deadline...

I use smartmax and bfq while charging @1.7 GHz
And smartmax and noop on battery @1.5 GHz .
