[Q] CM 7 performance question?!?

Im running CM7 with ADW EX launcher and a 3500 MAH battery. I want to know how I should adjust the CPU for maxium performance? Any suggestions help. Thanks!

Whatever setting you want.
Performance will run the cpu at max. Best performance, worst battery
conservative slowly ramps up the cpu, usually good performance and battery
ondemand ramps up cpu quickly and slowly moves it down. better perfromance, worse battery (than conservative)
Interactive - tries to modify cpu a little more efficiently- performance and battery unknown (there is no known concesus as far as I know)
Therefore if you want amazing performance and dont care about battery go performance, if you want to use your phone more than 6 hours, go with ondemand or interactive.

Thank you

If ADW Ex feels laggy, download VM Heap Tool and increase the dalvik heap size. That always worked better for me than increasing the cpu - at least as far as the launcher goes.

[Q] Lionheart govenor?

I did a google search and found no good simple explanation of the Lionheart governor. What exactly does it do in more simpler terms.
Is the battery life better than stock but with better performance?

Lionheart is a conservative-based governor which is based on samsung's update3 source. Tweaks comes from 1) Knzo 2) Morfic. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.To 'experience' Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
Hope that helps

Thanks but that is what I was talking about. I saw this definition on google but I can't understand that definition.
I just want to know where does Lionheart rank among the others in terms of performance and in terms of battery life (especially stock).

Right now I'm using Eugene's kernel with lionheart battery is great for me I get 13 to 15hours with good performance the other governor that would be good on batter is Brazilian wax and savages Zen those two are good to but I prefer lionheart ccause there's performance with good battery life better than stock in my opinion.

Brazilianwax and savagedzen are both derivatives of smartass, which doesn't work with our chipset. If you use any of those 3 your CPU frequencies will tend to stick at max value and not go down

no they work fine...
Smartass & the other 2 have no issue with it sticking... however SmartassV2 does stick at Max speed.

I stand corrected then

Lionheart vs. Interactive, Smartass, Brazillen Wax, Savage Zen?
Can anyone answer this?
How does its battery life and performance of Lionheart under typical usage compares to interactive's, smartass', brazillian wax's, and savage zen's?
You can just say something like, "Under normal and average use, Lionheart generally has a better battery life than abc and better performance than xyz."

[Q] Best Governor + i/o Scheduler for battery life?

what's the best combo for pure battery life? everyone's been saying smartassv2 with sio but its not really giving me great battery life. what do you guys use?

oh and can you guys please state the amount of battery life you get with the combo you're using. thanks

I've been using smartassV2 in combination with SIO scheduler for general use on my T989 and my old Captivate, it has helped my phone last a day or usually longer.
I don't really look at my 'battery usage' as it varies with what I'm doing in the day, for the most part it did make a big difference compared to the defaults.
Also, if you're looking for better battery results underclocking/undervolting and have certain governors turn on during different phone usage will definitely make a huge impact with your battery results.
You can do this with many apps, but the one that has been working for me is usually between Pimp My CPU and SetCPU. Cheers!

[Q] What Governor to Choose ?

I am seriously tired of battery drain so I am now searching for a governor that would balance between Battery Life and Performance. I read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817 but actually I was lost in that large number of governors, so Can anyone simply tell me what governor is the best ? I mainly leave WiFi On but Screen On is not usually for a large time ...

afaik and base on their details. personally, i use interactive+row on stock then smartassv2/ lulzactive+sio on custom.
SmartassV2:
The motto of this governor is a balance between performance and battery
SavagedZen:
Another smartassV2 based governor. Achieves good balance between performance & battery as compared to brazilianwax.
edit:
Q. "Ok. Enough of explanations. Tell me which governor is for performance and which one is for battery life."
A. Tough question! lulzactive and smartassV2 for a balance between performance and battery. For light weight tasks, lulzactive should be better for battery. And for heavy weight tasks, lulzactive should be better for performance also.
NOTE: It's not so easy to tame luzactive. If you don't know how exactly to do it, stay away from it or you will end up complaining about battery drain!

I use SmartAss V2 and SIO as governor and scheduler.
Like you, my wifi is permanently on, but screen is not on for long periods, and using this combo since Alpha releases of CM10 onward I have had good results, getting up to 2 days plus on CM10 EOL, and currently on LiquidSmooth 2.9 am getting well over a day from a charge.
Performance is good and LiquidSmooth ROM runs beautifully at stock CPU speeds (I currently use educk's Phenom Kernel ported by Madridii with 370Mb RAM, but have had great results with any Madridii kernel)

Powersave VS Conservative governor.

Wich is better for battery saving ?

Powersave should be better in terms of battery usage, but worse in terms of lags.
IMHO the default governor does a very good work. In my eyes, half an hour more screen time isn't worth the effort at all.

I use conservative, haven't lag, I like this. Default setting is interactive mode.

Thanks ?
