This guide on how to use the OC/UV beater app that is used to control my overclock daemon that is included in some roms, and is flashable here for advanced users : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21253167&postcount=38 . If you cant find the app, unfortunately its not available in market but installable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207546
First of all you need to make sure that any apps like setCpu or other overclocking apps are uninstalled not just disabled. Once this is done you need to reboot for it to take effect.
In the app you will normally have 3 tabs, these can be used to create different profiles. You can set a profile name if you like or just leave them.
You then have 6 dropdown menus for the overclock settings, 3 for each phone state. Your phone has 2 states, awake and asleep, asleep is when the phone is screen off and nothing too cpu consuming is running in the background and awake is for any other time. When you open the app for the first time the will say !set this is normal.
For each state you have a governor, min and max setting. When choosing a governor dont choose smartass as this does not work properly with the daemon (see below for why). Personally i use the normal on demand for awake and conservative for a asleep. Other governors can be used though depending on your preference.
Next you set your frequencies. Normally for minimum its safe to choose the lowest value unless you are having issues. As for the awake maximum choose what ever is the highest your phone runs stable at, or if you dont know, try out the one above your current speed. For asleep maximum either choose the minimum again or the one above (message to all kernel devs- try and enable a speed around 120mhz for maximum battery life).
Now we want to test these speeds out to see if they work, hit save, then temp activate. Now use your phone for a while, preferably trying a few intensive apps. When you are sure its stable use perm activate to set it on boot.
This should be enough for most people, but the app has a couple more features like profile switching based on battery state and ill leave you to work them out if you want as they are fairly self explanatory.
About the smartass governor: this governor was designed to switch maximum speeds based on phone state like screen on and off however the daemon does this for you if you set it correctly and will conflict with each other.
For some reason, I can't set anything except the govs (and they both show the same possibilities - there is no "conservative" for sleep) the rest just says !set and it's the only possibility there is.
Is it the app or is my problem ROM-specific?

Looks like its rom specific the app is rock solid normally. I think that the daemon config has gotten messed up in the mix of roms so ill try and see what is breaking it.
I cant seem to get the 460800mhz freq stable no matter what voltage i set. Is there a way to delete that crequency from ever being used, and how?
Works like a charm altho it seems the cm7 kernel does not support UV only OC or might be just me not understanding the UI. Antway i ll play around with it alot cuz so far it seems to ne runing alot better an utilising all freq properly.

Hello,
I am really sorry, my English is very poor, so my girlfriend and google translator help me translate... I am a beginner on this site.
So I have ROM RC02, but I can`t change max procesor and CPU governor either... Whenever I press changing CPU and max, it brings me back in original position. Could you please help me?
Try setcpu app
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
Ok, I'm in SetCPU or Voltage Control in the changes there and I will remain so, but the phone settings in Perfomance I still have the same values. So now I do not know that are set ... :/
maybe u can try kernel tuner app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rs.pedjaapps.KernelTuner&feature=search_result
it can control both of the cpu0 and cpu1.
cpu0 work ok and value doesn't change after i set.
but for cpu1 sometime it back to 1134mhz when i set to max value. but i just ignore it as it most of the time set at max value. seem like it can automatically adjust itself.
and i suggest PerfMon app to monitor your cpu. useful app for me.:good:

Help the other users: What are your settings?
CM11 & Aero Kernel by Quarx and Blechd0se is getting the new standard system for our old Defy.
With it came so many new settings that it is hard to keep track which settings are best for...
#performance (smooth system)
#battery (long battery life)
#heavyuse (intensive tasks like games)
Please share your settings here, maybe use the hashtags for your personal use case so people can find easily what they are looking for.
If you have other use scenarios than the three mentioned above: Tell me, I'll add them.

#performance / #battery
My settings (very very unimpressive so far):
Greenified apps like Google Maps, My Tracks, Dropbox, Pocket
I still got problems with Google Maps and Navigations, I got freezes and slow responsiveness.
Battery life is about 24 h with about 10 h in flight mode.
Battery Monitor Widget says I got 0.4 - 1.5 % battery loss in flight mode.
I still don't get all the settings that are out there!
My CPU frequency
Vsel 300/17,600/32,900/47,1445/68
You really want to use your Defy as a frying pan, right?
My setup is for #battery
I get 22-24 hrs with 2&1/2-3 hr screen on. This is actually the worst ever. I've managed 1 and a half day with 4 hours screen but I wanted a taste of KitKat.
All I did is keep governor on On demand and greenify a lot of apps which just suck battery.
The main being hangouts. I don't tweak anything else n m happy with my setup.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk
SetVsel 18/300, 28/600, 38/800, 58/1000. Governer: Smartass or Interactive. I/O scheduler: SIO or Deadline. Currently on Quarx 4.4 KitKat. On previous build I had 0,75% p/h battery usage. No Data, Wifi off when screen off, BT off. Minimum brightness setting.
PimpMyRom
Regarding CPU settings, I just increase to 1200MHz, down its vsel to 58, 900/54 and let the rest alone. I also usually enable a lot on PimpMyRom, specially hardware acceleration and network tweaks. Will post more details when have more time.
Anyone using PimpMyRom to share what tweaks?

How to change VSEL?
Could you please point me as to how to change de VSEL?
I'm trying to test the workaraound posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50482478&postcount=2754 for callui delay.
I've looked in Aero control and Performance/Settings/Processor but I can't find where to change the VSEL values!
Thank you!

CPU performance>Live OC/UC
I'm using something between performance and battery setting which is still under testing and tweaking.
Governor: interactive
1200/61
900/53
600/43
300/30
+ suspend off and hifreq 1200 to decrease well known delay on KitKat.
The battery can stand for around 15hrs of intensive use (my ex Milestone would work 2x longer with similar usage)
BTW. Does "set at boot" in aero control must be on or can I turn it off?

Which rom are you using?
The same thing happened to me while I was using an older Quarx's rom which had overclocking disabled. I switched to the 23Feb nightly and now I do have the Live OC/UC option (plus my Defy is faster and snappier than ever!).

#performance
- There's also the property [persist.sys.force_highendgfx] if your build has [ro.config.low_ram] set to [true]. This will toggle features intended for more powerful phones, especially since HWA introduces a memory overhead per app. i'm running [ro.config.low_ram] with disabled highendgfx, but customized statusbar (just for the transparency there) and recently used viewer (stopped the thumbnailing)
- Also HWA disabled for a lot of stuff (Keep HWA on for camera and games/3d apps!)
- Pretty standard clocking with 1000MHz max on my defy
- I'm not using Greenify (anymore). Didn't make that big a difference.
- Using service disabler and CM11's privacy guard to hinder starting of unwanted apps
- Also remember, that each app that monitors phone calls has an activity of it triggered on beginning/end of calls. Thus the delay gets even longer. For example, VLC's native lib is loaded on each incoming call
#heavy-usage
- userinit-mounting /data/dalvik-cache on /cache/dalvik-cache to save space on /data and don't waste it on /cache
- sshd is also a must-have
- stripping /system/{priv-}app
Anyhow... as always you mileage may vary...
Reporting in with a different approach. I'm using a combination of Aero Control and the V6 Supercharger. Wanted to share my configuration, in case it's useful to someone else.
Aero Control
CPU Settings
Governor: Performance - Max freq: 1200MHz - Min freq: 400MHz.
OC Settings:
1200MHz/61
900MHz/53
600MHz/43
400MHz/30 (These lower two speeds I haven't played around with to see how low the vsel can go, will experiment in future, somewhat irrelevant on the Performance governor anyway)
Memory Settings
Dynamic FSync is ON
Writeback Control is ON
Low Memory Option is ON
Swappiness is 30
IO Scheduler is Deadline
(I actually want to set the IO Scheduler to "noop", however, it tells me there are no settings available and reverts to Deadline automatically.)
Greenify (Get it here)
Basically all non-essential apps are greenified. Location apps (such as Foursquare and Maps), and anything that doesn't require push notifications has been set to hibernate. Not sure whether this is having any effect, but it certainly cuts down on multitasking time between apps as they hibernate.
V6 Supercharger (Get it here)
Only at 50% Supercharged, so it can be optimised further if required. I'm getting pretty good performance out of the phone as it is, though, but will see how it goes.
Configured with option 10, "Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer". Minfree values are 8, 12, 52, 62, 71, 81 MB.
Configured the following options, all else are set to "OFF":
Kernel and Virtual Memory tricks were ignored (status: Disco Dance), didn't want to interfere with Aero Control in any way.
Misc & SD Card tweaks are ON.
3G TurboCharger is ON.
Engine Flush-O-Matic is configured to run every 6 hours.
Auto zipalign ("Fix Alignment on Boot") is ON.
Services.jar has not been patched, the app can only auto-patch on ICS/JB.
Others
HWA is OFF for all apps except SystemUI, Launcher, Camera, com.android.incallui (but not phone or dialer) and a handful of personal apps that lose performance without HWA.
Will report in with battery life at the end of the day, so far it has been off charge since 7:30 AM (It is now 11:15AM) and I've lost 40% battery -- however this is with 1hr+ of screen-on time while training (I use a workout logging app) along with playing music over bluetooth headphones.
(O.T. On a side note, I'm finding that using Apollo + BT headphones is somewhat sketchy (stuttering music), can anybody recommend a light-weight music app?)
EDIT: Battery Results
Note: I'll be posting new battery stats at the end of the day. I realised this morning that I had the screen brightness set to maximum yesterday, set it to auto today and only lost 15% during my training session (instead of 40% like yesterday).
After being on battery from about 7:30am (and an accidental 20 minutes or so charging in the car when I forgot I was supposed to *not* be charging it) I was down to 6% at 5:30pm.

To be fair though, the phone saw pretty heavy use (i.e. compass for work, much moreso than usual), and the battery performance is just about on par with my Droid 4. The performance gains are noticeable, and I have ample opportunity to plug the phone in through the day in most cases, so I find this acceptable. I'll configure a low power profile at a later date I think, for those times where I need it to just be a basic phone for an extended period of time.
InCallUI - incoming call delay
Hi there. I'm using SlimKat 4.0, with greenify, seeder and some aero control tweaks. The phone is smooth and responsive with average battery life, however I can't get rid of the 2-3 sec delay when receiving incoming call, and the wake-up delay. I tried to lock com.android.incallui in memory, without success. Also tried modify flip settings during incoming calls, but the delay stays on. Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks.

There are still no fixes for that issue.
My new settings:
OC/vsel - defaults, no Aero Kernel Control/bootmenu
low_memory = true
HWA enabled (+comments/tips):
- all games,
- com.android.systemui // Interface - is it really needed? Disabling now and testing
- mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser // Dolphin Browser - flickering GUI when HWA disabled
- com.android.mms // SMS/MMS - flickering GUI when HWA disabled
- com.android.camera2 // Camera
- com.android.gallery3d // Gallery - some users of SK 4.0 posted to disable HWA to solve some issues, for me it works great as it is
- com.teslacoilsw.launcher // Nova Launcher - any launcher should be enabled (theoretically)
- com.android.musicvis // Music Live wallpappers?
No Greenify.
XPosed + BootManager (yay!)
Smooth, stable and good settings for daily use. Battery ~ 53% ~ 1d 5h.

Thanks for the info! :good:
However I use some UC in Aero Control ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]), because I found the original Vsels a bit high. It's still stable and fast. I also modified "hispeed_freq" to 110000 and "suspend_enabled" to 0 in advanced CPU settings. I think it makes the phone wake up a little faster.
I use the HWA settings default on, no issues, not in gallery either.
I use Greenify and Seeder apps, but it can be true, that they are just placebo.
Never used BootManager, will try!
I'm curious if people really want a custom kernel and, if so, what functionality makes them want it.
The only thing I have seen in the forums is color calibration but I don't know if that is even possible (I am not familiar with our video driver).
The only thing I would do for myself is to add a hotplug governor and enable all cores to theoretically make it more responsive while using less battery.
I would like to hear other feature requests to gauge whether or not to bother working on the kernel.

Customization of backlight based on the light sensor. Would love a dimmer screen at low light, and when it's bright enough, disable the backlight all together. User-tweakable values for these thresholds and levels.
(Yes, wear mini launcher allows more fine-tuning of brightness, and lower brightness, than the stock 1-5 levels, but it's completely manual)
Undervolting + Powersave governor
Undervolting + Powersave governor would be ideal! to prolong the already good battery life further!
I would say colour calibration, power saving tweaks
I have a rooted moto g6 play and I read that using kernel adiutor to overclock this phone will make it a lot faster. The problem is, I have no idea what to set the settings to. If any of you have a moto g6 play, could you tell me which settings would be best or the settings you have? Thanks
Here's the settings I use. I was actually planning on making a guide that would cover this very subject -- however, I've been inundated with "life". As my friend told me, "Sometimes Life -- Lifes you." Right?
Anyways. This setup I'm about to describe works absolutely perfectly for me... With that said, it *may* not be the best for everyone. I'm not a multi-tasker, and I run an extremely lean operation for maximum power availability. So, if you're an avid multi-takser, you'll probably want to stay away from this. However, if you do one thing at a time and want maximum battery life mixed with moderate speed boost -- you'll love this.
I use Kernel Aduitor primarily because I like the interface better than Ex Kernel Manager. With that in mind, I'll just go down the list using Kernel Auditor's app... I do run Ex-KM as well, but only for 1 particular setting which I'll cover when I get there.
Lets begin!!
Prereq Software: L-Speed by Paget, Kernel Auditor, and ExKernel Manager.
Using Kernel Auditor:
1) --CPU--
a)Max 1401, Min 960.
b)Conservative Governor (w/ 50 down, 3 freq step, 1 ignore nice load, 1 sampling down factor, 66666 for both sampling rates, 95 up threshold)
c)Schedule workloads on awake cpus (ON!)
2) --GPU--
a)Max Freq 650 (If gaming, or graphically intense use -- otherwise I go to 484, and even 400)
b)Min Freq 270
c)Governor (I typically run Simple On Demand for daily use, powersave for battery, and bump up performance and a higher frequency of 650mhz if I need it)
3) --I/O--
a)NOOP Scheduler
b)Not tunable.
c)read ahead -- honestly, I've tried every single setting using different benchmarks, and it appears to make a little difference. I simply use 512kb as my default. Feel free to adjust accordingly if you use your phone in a way that benefits from it.
d)I keep all three settings turned off -- rotational, stats, and add random. IO Stats is on by default I think, by turning it off it will give a very minimal boost in performance. But I'll take every inch I can get out of it... ya know?
e)RQ Affinity is 1 by default, I use 2.
4)LMK
25, 50, 100, 175, 275, 400 (Again, this is purely because I run a lean operation with minimal multitasking. Feel free to adjust to your needs)
5)Virtual Memory (This is a nice performance boosting tuneable screen)
Dirty: 90
DirRat: 50
Expire: 10000
Writeback: 25000
Min Free: 15000kb
oom killing: 1
Overcommit: 100
Swappiness: ZERO!!
VFS Cache: 200
Laptop: ZERO
Extra Free: 10000
And the best thing I've done for my phone, I do believe: ZRAM ----> ZERO! Zram is a waste of resources and sucks life out of your phone with its constant encryption and decryption routine. With 3gb of ram, and a properly tuned LMK --- you'll get a noticeable boost in smooth performance here. I hate Zram!
6) Entropy
I use light settings here 64/192.
--------------------------------------
Now, EX-Kernel Manager... I only use it for one setting. By default, when the GPU is at idle -- it hums along at 400mhz. You can adjust this in ExKM down to a true idle of 270mhz. You'll not sacrifice any performance, but may get a small bump in battery life.
-------------------------------------
L-Speed is one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Tons of useful scripts that really make a difference.
Upon initial setup, just kinda breeze through the opening screens. Don't use one of the preprogram'd tunes. Here's what I use specifically (If its not listed on this list, that means its either disabled or default and thats where I want to keep it. :
Main Tweaks:
Disable Debugging - ON
Panic - OFF
Sleeper Optimize: ON
Flag Tuner: OFF (I used to run ON, but it developed lagginess, and turning it back off appeared to correct this. Feel free to try either for your personal use)
Improved Scrolling: ON
Liquid Smooth UI: ON
Animations: ZERO across the board.
Battery:
Battery Improvement - ON
Doze Optimize - ON
Aggresive Doze - ON
CPU:
Gov Tuner - DISABLED (or else it will cause you to lose your settings in Kernel Auditor)
CPU Optimizer - ON
LNET:
Net Buffers - BIG
RIL Tweaks - ON
TCP Tweaks - ON
Net Speed+ - ON
Wifi Scanning OFF
DNS Optimizer - ON (uses google DNS, or maybe cloudfare now.. but its super smooth)
IO Tweaks:
Tuner - OFF
Boost - ON
Extended Queue - ON
Part Remount - ON
Disable IO stats - ON
RAM:
MAnager - Default (for me, you may need another setup if you multitask)
Don't Keep Activities - ON
Dynamic VM: OFF
Skip the next 4 or 5 options, leave disabled or default.
Heap Optimize: ON
OOM Killer: ON
Dump Tasks: OFF
ZRAM OPTimizer: OFF
Ftrim
DO IT. Then set to run on boost, and schedule it for every 6 hours or so to keep it running effecient and smooth.
Last thing... I go to the developer menu under settings within the operating system, and turn on "Force GPU to run 2d operations".
-------------
I get incredible battery life at these settings. A super snappy phone with minimal lag. And if I need a quick jolt of power, I just crack up the CPU and GPU to max settings.. and I'm good to go!
Enjoy.
Thanks for reading. Sorry so long.

L-Speed is one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Tons of useful scripts that really make a difference.
Upon initial setup, just kinda breeze through the opening screens. Don't use one of the preprogram'd tunes. Here's what I use specifically (If its not listed on this list, that means its either disabled or default and thats where I want to keep it. :
Main Tweaks:
Disable Debugging - ON
Panic - OFF
Sleeper Optimize: ON
Flag Tuner: OFF (I used to run ON, but it developed lagginess, and turning it back off appeared to correct this. Feel free to try either for your personal use)
Improved Scrolling: ON
Liquid Smooth UI: ON
Animations: ZERO across the board.
Battery:
Battery Improvement - ON
Doze Optimize - ON
Aggresive Doze - ON
CPU:
Gov Tuner - DISABLED (or else it will cause you to lose your settings in Kernel Auditor)
CPU Optimizer - ON
LNET:
Net Buffers - BIG
RIL Tweaks - ON
TCP Tweaks - ON
Net Speed+ - ON
Wifi Scanning OFF
DNS Optimizer - ON (uses google DNS, or maybe cloudfare now.. but its super smooth)
IO Tweaks:
Tuner - OFF
Boost - ON
Extended Queue - ON
Part Remount - ON
Disable IO stats - ON
RAM:
MAnager - Default (for me, you may need another setup if you multitask)
Don't Keep Activities - ON
Dynamic VM: OFF
Skip the next 4 or 5 options, leave disabled or default.
Heap Optimize: ON
OOM Killer: ON
Dump Tasks: OFF
ZRAM OPTimizer: OFF
Ftrim
DO IT. Then set to run on boost, and schedule it for every 6 hours or so to keep it running effecient and smooth.
Last thing... I go to the developer menu under settings within the operating system, and turn on "Force GPU to run 2d operations".
-------------
I get incredible battery life at these settings. A super snappy phone with minimal lag. And if I need a quick jolt of power, I just crack up the CPU and GPU to max settings.. and I'm good to go!
Enjoy.
Thanks for reading. Sorry so long.
