Deck's settings 1.3

I am running Decks 1.3 with the SZ 2.2.1 CFS HAVS kernel and am wondering about the performance settings, not understanding what effects changing certain aspects will have. If I go into the performance settings, which is the best governor for combination of battery life/performance? Also, I don't understand how this correlates at all to the max cpu frequencies right below. Is the governor separate from the max cpu frequency? So if I change one, what impact will it have on the other. Right now I have it set to Conservative and the min cpu is 245, max is 499. Any input on this would be terrific!

The governor determines how the cpu scales between min and max frequency. While setting the min and max cpu frequency does exactly what it sounds like. So, the governor manages what speed the cpu is running at within the confines you put on it.
The different governors (smartass, conservative, savagedzen, performance, etc) will manage the scaling from min to max and max to min differently. If I remember correctly, performance scales up to max frequency very quickly when you use the phone, smartass takes into account what you are doing with the phone and scales the frequency more intelligently, savagedzen is specific to sz kernels and is based off smartass (just smarter), and conservative takes a while to scale up.
As for going from max to min frequency, I would assume the governors work the same way except for performance taking much longer to scale down (relatively).
I could be wrong, it has been a while since I changed my governor.

[Q]CPU Settings

Hey guys, what CPU settings do you use? And which one would be best for smooth performance?

Min 120 MHz
Max 806 MHz
Smartass noop
(no-frills CPU control)

Smartass2 covernor.
Minimum: 122 Mhz, but I use 200 Mhz
Maximum: 806 MHz, but on some devices, when browsing for example, your phone can hang.
(Nothing works = kernel panic). You then need to lower it. I use 768 Mhz.
For benchmarking, use performance governor. Your CPU will then keep on highest frequency
Hope it helped

Smartass2:
Min 245mhz when sleep mode
Max 806mhz

Mine WS freeze on any frequency above 600 mhz.

Yes these are my preferred settings too.

120mhz minimum
806mhz maximum
hope this helps!

[Q] Max/Min Settings for SetCpu?

I have DoomKernal installed. I have the max set to 1.5Ghz, but what should I set the minimum to?
also, any suggestions on governor?

Usually you can just set the minimum frequency to the minimum allowed. Personally, I like the SmartA**v2 governor

Looks like my phone doesn't like 2Ghz, it crashed.

My settings are Max 1.5 Ghz Min 122 Mhz, Governor: On Demand.
Works pretty fine and saves a lot battery.

For ondemand, did you set anything in the advanced settings? Sampling rate and stuff.

[Q] Xperia S Overclocking

I just installed Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL custom rom. Under Settings>TRINITY MOD>CPU control there is Max and min clock freq., governor and I/O scheduler.
What are highest and most safe overclock settings here?

1.7 ghz I think

[Q] GT-i9195 SET CPU your settings?

Ok so I am experimenting with Set CPU app
Can you guys tell me what Profiles you run or prefer
Thanks

I don't use SetCPU (way over complicated for no good reason) but Kernel Tweaker. With my experience on the F4k kernel:
JB - Interactive
KK - Smartass V2
IO Scheduler: normal phone use ROW. If you have some regular write operation, CFQ. I've tried SIO, ZEN and NOOP, overrated. While NOOP and ZEN feels really responsive (like mininium lag) but it unstable. As for SIO I don't see what people see in it. It not particularly faster, and nor battery friendly. At least that what I saw on my S3 with Pegasus governor. And I don't use benchmark, this is a pure observe from normal day-to-day use on open app, multi-tasking, browsing, etc. I've tried all mention governor for at least a week.
As for UV, I've done -1.5V (yes, not a typo) on my phone. Again, I don't bench or play games, just regular day-to-day email, browsing, photo, etc.

I'm on JB 4.2.2 Stock and using SmartAssV2 + ROW. Max freq. on 2.05Ghz. Working fine so far.

Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686845 for undervolting results part (I'm guessing it's in your SET CPU too).

I'm using f4ction kernel 1.3.0 with 90hardlimit_2.05Ghz.zip flashed after the kernel with TWRP.
Also, i like CPU Control, which is very easy to use.

I don't need set cpu anymore. I turn on air plane mode at night so battery life can be longer.
And checked on cpu's cores, system automaticly control frequences.

Using SetCPU the Charging with USB takes ages
Do I need to set a profile as I have tried other apps to change stuff but this seems to be the only option for me with a modified Stock Rom
Have used these settings so far with no lags or issues .. can someone pease clarify if this is ok...
SET SCREEN OFF
CPU - 810 - 384 Gov: Interactive / Priority 100
SCREEN ON
CPU - 1566 -384 Gov : OnDemand / Deadline / Priority 52
BATTERY <45
CPU - 1026 - 394 Gov: OnDemand / CFQ / Priority 50
SLEEP 00:45 - 08.25
CPU - 584 - 384 Gov: Powersave / CFQ / Priority 49
What about Battery or CPU Temp?

Powersave governor is a governor that locks on the lowest possible speed provide by the kernel. No point on setting a speed range since it doesn't dynamically switch between them.
Well as I mention above, I don't recommend using schedule beside ROW or CFQ. If anyone still thinks SIO, NOOP, Deadline is significantly faster/better than CFQ this is a very interesting test: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_iosched_2012
