Thought if anyone found their perfect settings on bonuzzz's oc kernel, they could be shared here. Really, the reason I started this thread, is I have no idea how to set these settings. I'm looking for a balance between performance, and battery life, (isn't everyone ) but I have no idea where to begin. Seems to run better with default settings, but I wonder what optimized settings would feel like!

Whats up guys? I have a question about using the Set CPU app.
Is it really worth it to use this app? Will it actually make an improvement in my battery life?
I don't want to use this app to speed up my phone, but to make it better on battery life.
I know you can set up profiles, but I'm not sure on what good setting would be to use. Can anyone give me some insight on this?
Also I'm running the latest version on MIUI and the Tiamat kernel.
P.S. Is there better kernels to be used then Tiamat?
Thanks in advance.
also I'm running the latest version on MIUI and the Tiamat kernel.

maybe it's just me, but am getting better bat life with the stock kernal. I ran the tiamat for a few days, switched back and it was obvious to me.
With Tiamat the default governor is smartass, which has a built in setting for when the screen is off, that only lets the phone see a max of 368640, which will save on battery life and does.
Now if you want to get into using your own profiles then an app such as Setcpu can be helpful.
I have been using this and this in place of Setcpu. It's a little faster reacting to the changes form screen off to on. Just another option.
I like the Tiamat Kernels as well as JD's Kernels. They both work well with Miui, at least on my phone anyway.
I've used Set CPU for awhile, but then got away from it. I'm back on it now since MIUI doesn't have a built in OC. I would try the two PacerguyDon suggested. I have used the andrev_oc it is fine. The second one appears to have more functions than Set CPU. Set CPU doesn't allow you to under volt if that is what you are looking for.
I saw that Set CPU is $0.99 on Amazon, if you want it. However, I would try the other two for free and donate to the one you like best.
I have been using JD's Kernel the last few days and it seems to provide better battery life than stock. I originally tried using the Smartass govenor, but had to go back to On Demand. The Smartass was causing screen wake delay when receiving a call.
I stole this from another PacerguyDon's post and it breaks down the different govenors found in most OC apps.

Set CPU is free for XDA members. It also does allow undervolting according to their post.

I took a look at some of the options but there were just too many and I have no clue whether the numbers were "good" or "bad". Can anyone shed some light on their governor settings if they tweaked it?
I'm currently using the perseus kernel alpha 27.4. with Jedi X6 rom.
I personally wouldnt mess with it...just leave it on stock...if anything you may want to consider flashing one of the 2 kernels. .both great...overclock to 1704 and set the gpu to 640 using the stweaks app will help adjust these gpu settings...and romtool box is my favirite though...then once you learn and research. .maybe undervolting in the future...but for niw just stick with these setting..wont kill tour battery..and is very stable and excellent battery performance. ..good luck
I have been using Omega Rom from version 8 up to version 18, then switched to ProBam, then Pacman, and now I'm back on Omega 19, giving the "official" 4.3 a shot.
I have tried many many settings and kernels to get this game run without a lag.
So far, I have seen no lag when using performance governor while playing for a few minutes (no overclocking the CPU or GPU) that was it...
Every other setup gives lag, more or less. The second best setup would be pegasusq governor, not much changes when overclocking CPU or GPU, or both.
Using a stock kernel is also not bad, but lags every now and then. (not dependant on Rom)
But I want to get the sound settings from trickster mod for example, so I feel like I need a custom kernel with my Rom of choice.
So, does anyone have a good setup that matches performance governor, but does not stick permanently to maximum CPU load?
I don't care about battery life, so I need a good performing setup.
(Just on a side note: when people say "there is no lag at all when scrolling through my homescreens" then I can only think that this should be normal with ANY setup. And I never had any lag while scrolling through my homescreens, except while I was using my HTC Hero...)
I would very much appreciate if someone with the same goal could help me out, or someone knows the default settings of the stock kernel...
Or is this whole idea just utopic, because the game is badly coded?
I use Elementalx custom kernel. All the things in its app confuse me. The only thing I understand is setting min and max CPU rates. I did a lot of searches on what everything else is and what to do with it, and nothing made sense. I need an explanation in layman's terms. Any help would be infinitely appreciated. My device stutters a lot and I don't get very good battery life.
You can take a look at this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957
There are a lot of basics and information.
I run EX too and leave the default settings as is. Flar knows more than me that's for sure!

Just leave the default settings as they are. The kernel devs know what they do.
I would recommend testing all kernels and choose the one that fits for you and your usage.
For me mvk is the best but I know people were mvk is not fitting their usage and they swear on francos or elemental or....
Test them all and find the best for you.
I usually turn off zram as this phone has so much ram it didn't seem to need it. Had no noticable issues or anything.
I thought leaving everything at default is the best thing possible for this phone, at least Flar said to not use any other governor other than default sched anyway. Phone is smooth enough for me to not tweak anything anyway. That was the point for buying this phone at first place, leave Google to do their optimisation and sorts so we can simply start using it and save time.
Use the "L speed" app by paget96 in the playstore.
Hey guys, this will be my first major post on XDA. I've been scouring through the forums looking for ways to improve on our restricted stock kernel and ran across a few very useful threads. In the Nexus 5X and 6P forums they've created kernel profile scripts that tune the Interactive governor present in all Android kernels. I took the courtesy of going through the threads and compiling a list of all the noteworthy profiles I could find. Huge shoutout goes out to @soniCron, @phantom146, and @Alcolawl for creating the basis behind the governor tuning and scripts to implement them. I converted all the profiles to use the LITTLE cluster settings for our devices since they are a bit lower spec, and taking the EXKM designated profiles and converting them into bash scripts that we can use in a terminal emulator. I gathered as much info as I could on each profile and it's original author. All the profiles scripting layout was customized by myself to look more uniform and stylish.
The original thread can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
And the revamped updated thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3290605
You need to remove the ".txt" extension at the end of the file when you download it, and then you can run it from a terminal emulator directly using source "." or "bash". You can also easily execute the scripts from a file explorer that supports source execution (such as MiXplorer or FX File explorer), then you can simply select the ".sh" file and select "execute" in the explorer. Its recommended to use Kernel Adiutor to tune the variables of the governor if you find you need to.
Feel free to try them out and leave feedback! I can't give any technical help with the profiles as they are not mine. My best advice would be to try them all for at least a full charge cycle each, and then refer to the threads above to tune the one that best suits you until it's perfect. Good luck!

AmanuensisOne - @RogerF81: It's mainly based on the StableV2 settings and on EclipseR2, but with a bit smoother experience than with the EclipseR2 profile. It also goes further and tweaks more kernel settings in proc/sys/kernel and sys/module, as well as readahead cache, I/O schedulers, net TCP settings, swappiness, Low Memory Killer parameters, and more Virtual Memory tweaks. This is more of an all-in-one, flash and forget script for users who want a simple way to tweak most major areas of the kernel settings.
Blazer_V4 - @sireangelus: Based on Ghostpepper and Amanuensis, with better battery life for everyday tasks like scrolling and texting. Does not utilize Input Boost and also tweaks some proc/sys/kernel settings as well as Low Memory Killer parameters.
DarkSpiceR7.5 - @xSilas43: Based upon the Ghostpepper settings with some added tweaks to further optimize the battery life and performance of the governer. With revisions to mainly the timer rate and min sample time with the addition of input boost @672mhz for 40ms, this irons out some of the UX issues people may have while also encourages the CPU to use lower clock rates.
DeusEx Revolution - @xperator: Based on AmaneunsisOne and BlackPepper, a bit different than the original DeusEx. More performance oriented. Great for gaming. Almost no lags.
DragonFly @xperator : A profile based on DarkSpiceR7.5 and EclipseR3. It's similar to Butterfly profile meaning its aimed for performance and responsiveness but its snappier and faster than Butterfly. It jumps to mid frequencies all the time even for small tasks. You shouldn't expect great battery life! Even though It should be more battery friendly than Butterfly.
Excalibur - @xperator: Based on DragonFly and GhostPepper. It's almost fast as DragonFly and it has great battery life.
GhostPepper - @soniCron: A medley of Silverfish, MadDog and the Stable settings with a few additional but crucial tweaks aimed at giving extremely smooth performance in all situations, even while multitasking, without sacrificing the battery life as experienced with MadDog.
GlassCannon - @phantom146: Provides the smoothest interface, great performance while bestowing the lowest frequencies available. Ramping up quickly to maximize "inputs" from I/O overheads then immediately ramping down once tasks are done. The perfect balance between lowering down your frequency, and finishing up tasks quickly.
Hawktail_v1.2 - @Alcolawl: An Interactive Governor profile focused on fluidity and UX. Butter smooth in all situations. Minimal heat during web browsing and heavy texting sessions and gamers are praising this profile as well. Great SOT and battery life. The complete package and new candidate for the 'Stable v3.0' Settings.
MadDog - @Alcolawl: Using a new approach, this profile distributes workloads evenly. Drops CPU frequencies as quickly as possible in all circumstances. Performs quite well albeit inconsistently at times.
Saber V2 - @xperator: Designed to work without InputBoost. Mostly no lags/heat issues. Suitable for heavy texting users. Probably not good for gaming. Based on DeusEx family.
First "share my work" post and ya jabbed it in there 4 times, lol. Nice to take some initiative though bro. I know some folks will love it.

I figured somebody else would want to try these out like I did, so I did what XDA was made for and spread my knowledge and I had some issues with posting the OP but I deleted the other 3 so all should be good now. I appreciate your words of encouragement man

Hey, quick update. 3 of the profiles had a few minor typos that I ironed out real quick, and I'm not sure how to edit the attachments in the OP lol. So here's those profiles for anyone who wants them! They are the Blazer, Hawktail and MadDog profiles
