Best Elementals kernel settings? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I'm thinking of flashing elementalx kernel but I would like to know the best settings for it before I flash it

I don't know about best. That's definitely a question that will generate many different answers. These are my settings and they work well for me but they are also fairly conservative. By no means am I trying to get the highest benchmark scores. And of course the same settings will not produce the same results on every device. I should mention that I don't use sweep2wake or doubletap2wake, They will to some extent lower battery life.
Set CPU core separately = no
Cpu overclock to 1620 MHz
L2 cache and bus bandwidth = ElementalX
Auto Undervolting = 850 min
Thermal setting = run hot. Mine never gets very hot but then I don't do a ton of gaming.
GPU overclock = 450 MHz
GPU governor = ondemand
Cpu governor set to stock ondemand. With ElementalX governor I was seeing a slight stutter running quadrant.
Gboost = I am not using.
Enabled max screen off frequency.
Enabled USB fastcharge.
Disabled magnetic on/off. Tablet is naked, no cover.
Again, those are the settings that I'm using and they are admittedly conservative. Not using any apps like setcpu, kernel tuner or trickster. Don't forget to make a backup first.

Ok thanks, will give it a shot, thanks again

CPU apps

I'm having trouble finding a CPU app that works perfectly with this phone. I've tried setcpu, CPU master, system tuner, and nstools. What's everyone using to oc this thing?

Depends on which rom your running but in general...you should use none. Most roms already uv and oc and if u use an app it'll butt heads.

My issue is that it seems like my phone is skipping steps all over the place. I'm using cpuspy and the usage jumps between Max/min clocks. I'm kinda not digging that. Its the same with every rom i flash.

That's not an issue with your cpu app. It has to do with your governor (the thing that controls how your CPU scales). Most ROMs come with ondemand by default which pretty much does exactly that, which is jump from min to max as needed. If you want something that scales more, you should look at conservative (for better battery life) or lagfree/interactive (for better performance). Lagfree/interactive are only available on select kernels though (whereas conservative is almost universally available). Streamline definitely has them and I think synergy does too.
Also CPU apps don't butt heads with the ROM/kernel default settings, it just overrides the default settings.
Yea I figured that but this is the first phone I've had where on demand performs that way. I've had a nexus s, epic 4g, evo, and a g2 and they all scaled across the steps ondemand. Ondemand on this phone works like the min/max governor. But your right conservative scales across the steps well. Just a bit choppier. About to install nstools and mess with the threshholds and whatnot.

Franco Kernel Updater Questions

I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus and I'm coming from an OG Evo that I was using SetCPU with....
I wanted to see if anyone could recommend settings for the Kernel Updater...I'm looking to keep the battery going as long as possible in between charges.
also, if I use this app then I don't need to use SetCPU, correct?
no you dont need set cpu.. everything u need is within that app.

yea that's what I figured.
any setting recommendations?
I tried a few but just wondering what others are using...
I use default and it goes pretty good

I personally use 192 to ~1200 MHz. With SmartReflex on (disable it if you want to do custom UV).
Play around with Generic Hotplug. It may be good for you and it may not.
I have my governor set to ondemand (it was on interactive but Franco recently changed it back to ondemand as default)
TO EVERYONE WHO USES franco.kernel updater
Please be aware that the "Turn off Thermal Throttling" feature in the latest franco.kernel updater app actually Turns on Throttling down CPU frequency when it reaches more than 70 degree C.. So just remind it that it is Vice Versa
I use ondemand governor, 384 min 1420 Max. Battery life is quite gd for me

CPU core spikes

Hey my CPU cores keep going to 1.9ghz making my phone hot. I'm on deviant kernel 7 hypedrive rsl12. I have it on Pegasus and zen I/o scheduler and max set to 1.5 and min to 192mhz please help its killing my battery.

Flash another kernel, change your governors, under volt, underclock.
Have you tried any of those?
Also make sure no other apps are messing with your processor speed, or certain setting applied at boot.

Enable CPU power saving in settings. This would limit max speed to 1.26.

[Q] Change GPU speed?

I was wondering if someone has change the GPU speed from 320MHz to 400MHz using TricksterMod on play store?
how are the effects on performance/battery life?
You can change it, but it's controlled independently form my experience.. I go into TM and it will be 200mhz sometimes and other times it will be 400mhz.. Unless of course, you put it on performance governor.
We need a kernal to overclock the GPU and CPU lol ...that's what we need to get that CPU freq higher

Intel CPU Governor

Could anyone please give me more info about this governor.
I can't seem to find anything on Google. Only that it is a interactive based governor and is optimized for Intel chipsets. I've been using this governor for almost a week now and am pleased with the performance.
I see that it has been included in the latest XOSP and also RR builds.
What do you guys think which governor is better for our device interactive ? Intel ?
Personally, i use interactive and yankactive.
what is the best kernel or rom that has a good battery life? I understand that the mobile network consumes battery but my crossed the line, not enough to last even 3 hours, and is already at 15%...
If you use The Octo kernel, you could under clock to 1.2 and 1.3 and enable alucard Governor to have two or one core active and having Barry_Allen enabled

Hi,
Pls, tell me what does it mean "...under clock to 1.2 and 1.3..."? Min. and Max CPU frequency?
And, what is Barry_Allen and where to find it?

Maximum frequency: 1250 MHz
Minimum frequency: 333 MHz
CPU governor: Barry_Allen
Go to kernel auditor, swipe left, go to CPU and the configurations should be there. Click on CPU governor and scroll down to Barry_Allen and select it. Be careful, it can be really conservative. Enjoy!

Yep, Barry Allen is the faster human alive, but in the series, there is a faster enemy every chapter. Conservative. lol
About Intel governor, I remember I read something about Intel capatibilities to manage voltages more efficiently (undervolting at lower freqs) but I couldn't find any confirmation of this.

Exactly ?
I think the Intel governor takes advantage of the powerclamps for more efficiency. It can be a performance type or Governor, but can be good on battery.

Depends on your usage.
Ssjactive: I would use for multimedia and browsing. It will also act as a conservative governor but will ramp up the frequency with other activity.
Intel: I would use for games and almost for anything. You'll be able to not have to worry about the performance at the cost of battery.
