Hi guys, here is my kernel for the Huawei Watch.
Features:
- SELinux permissive;
- Autoroot script;
- init.d support;
- busybox;
- unlocked all cores for better performance;
- added the mpdecision binary for the CPU hotplug (disabled by default)( thanks to @invisiblek that used it in his G Watch boot image);
- raised max cpu freq to 984Mhz for a good compromise between performance and battery life;
- added Smartmax governor and set it as default;
- various ramdisk changes;
- added intelli_plug from faux123 and set it in eco mode (enabled by default);
- added kppd from @savoca to control screen parameter ( RGB channel and other things ),
see HERE for more details
- added 3 script to simplify the use of kppd:
1- kppd-configure: to configure and try your settings;
2- kppd-on: make an init.d script to load you kppd settings at boot;
3- kppd-off: turn of auto boot of the script above.
Version 2.5 changelog:
- added powersuspend and somw hooks in the panel driver, this fix the intelli_plug screen off profile.
- added interactive governor and set as default;
- added an interface to control the voltage of the vibrator, you can play with it:
This will show the current value (stock):
Code:
cat /sys/module/drv2605/parameters/current_voltage
To change it you have to:
Code:
echo "your value" > /sys/module/drv2605/parameters/current_voltage
To use this kernel you have to unlock your bootloader. This mean that the device will be factory resetted.
To try the kernel ( will be resetted to stock after a reboot ):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot sturgeon-skin1980-2.0.img
To flash the kernel:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot sturgeon-skin1980-2.0.img
fastboot reboot
tnx to @invisiblek ( i took some ideas from his G Watch kernel ) @Chainfire and @savoca

EDIT: removed for now.
I seem to be getting a much better battery life now. Thanks!
So let's say I want to modify my screen using KPPD, say, add more saturation. Would I just need to extract postproc.cond through adb, modify it, then adb push it back and reboot? Since the device obviously doesnt have a keyboard or support for most apps.
Sorry for the inane basic question, but how do you physically access the watch to do this? Through the charging pad connected by USB to the computer?

Yup!
Any concern that we'll lose the ability for an OTA update?

Thank you the kernel, watch feels much snappier. Do you have or know where to get the stock kernel to reflash for updates?
Right here. It was right under your nose.

kppd-on
Anybody try or have any luck dealing with the red tint issue by tweaking the colors?

Assumed that'd be the case but figured it was worth asking.
It's driving me irrationally crazy so not sure whether I'm keeping it.
Regardless, thanks for the work.
Does the watch have a flag bit set when you unlock that can't be reset? You know like phones do for warranty reasons... (Maybe OTA updates too?)
Otherwise great to see development going! Love the watch but some improvements can't hurt Probably gonna grab the system image and poke around a bit.
I had to mount system rw to be able to run the kppd scripts:
This worked:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system

Tiny, you have the HWatch? I remember you from back in the Incredible days...
Hey skin...looked at your init shell script. I don't think the vibrator stuff works. There are no amp or driving_ms files in the vibrator directory. I saw that elsewhere, too...guessing its for the LG watches.
Also, found where brightness is set:
/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
Looks like it takes a number from 0 to 255
(and yes, it is still lcd-backlight even though we have an amoled screen)

Yes I do.
Was working on building recovery but I hit a snag with fb0 errors.
Also I had a test kernel that wouldn't boot. I didn't get too far on either but didn't work too much on the kernel. I need to give it another shot but I'm pretty happy with the battery life as is.
Is there any way to tell that the kernel has been flashed successfully? I flashed it earlier but dont seem to have better performance or battery life at this stage. Cant seem to check kernel info in "about device"

Discontinued for now.
-------------------------------------
Okey just did some reorganisation to get this post a little bit cleaner.
I just deleted the unneeded versions, but I have a backup of them, so if you really want to have one of the older versions send me a pm and which one you want, else just stick to my recommendations below.
Most important question first:
Which Version should you take?
Siyah Kernel 2.6.6i and newer: init.d Gen 2.6.6i SE
Siyah Kernel 2.6.2 to 2.6.6: init.d Gen 2.6.2
Siyah Kernel 2.6_S99 to 2.6.1: init.d Gen 2.6
Siyah Kernel 2.5.* (all Versions, also GT): init.d Gen 2.5 SE
Siyah Kernel 2.4.2 to 2.4.*: init.d Gen 2.4.2 SE
Siyah Kernel 2.4.1 and older: init.d Gen 2.2 Beta 16 SE
What does SE and RRW stand for?
SE is for "Second Edition" and should be preferred, but you are free to take the version you like.
RRW is for "Remount Read/Write" and will remount "/system" with rw permissions, use this version if ADB Push fails to push the bootscript to the phone.
If you want to use push, pull or activate function you have to enable USB Debugging Mode else ADB can't recognize the device.
(Can be found under Menu > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB Debugging)
Please tell me if there are any issues with any function.
Known issues:
The function for deep sleep levels is not implemented correctly in the following 4 versions:
-init.d Gen 2.6
-init.d Gen 2.6 RRW
-init.d Gen 2.6.2
-init.d Gen 2.6.2 RRW
Fixed since 2.6.6i!
Thanks to gokhanmoral for the best kernel ever and helping me via pm!
Thanks to droidphile for this epic manual!

Anything that you want me to implement first?
Any issues or errors while using it?

think you !
The script generated works fine. ADB push too.
There is just a little mistake, the argument for busfreq_static si "disbled" by default instead of "disabled". But if you enable it then you disable it, it's well written "disabled".
I just add some lines in the script in order to modify the hotplug thresholds and it's perfect !
Thank you
Thank you Reno_kun, will change that asap!
altough the default kernel value is disabled so echoing disbled shouldn't have any effect ^^
will implement hotplugging treshold and brightness settings in next update, i hope i'll have time tomorrow ^^
edit: fixed that and did some rearranging.
Better and better
Incredible work, THINK YOU

I've got an other problem
At boot, the script in init.d is not applied. I need to change permissions from rw-rw-rw- to rwxrw-rw- in order it is used.
What are usual permissions for a script in init.d ?
Thank you for your work KcDaRookie
@bvannier: thank you very much
@lokotus: you are free to use to sources to make an phone app from this, I don't have the knowledge that is needed for this, also i think using SetCPU, nofrills, voltage control or gokhanmorals tool for his kernel once it's released is much more efficient because the changes will take effect on the fly.
with this script you have to reboot at least once...
hmm.. I getting a great idea.. I think I will implement that the new values will directly be echoed via adb to the phone, so that they will immediately take place..
I tested a bit and this isn't impossible, thank you for this idea

I have mines set to 777 (rwxrwxrwx) but I think 766 (rwxrw-rw-) should be enough
I see if I can change permission via adb directly after push ^^
Thanks for that comment =)
Thank you guy !
I tried several time and I always had 666, it's may be due to the ROM ? Which one do you use ?
You should post some pict in the OP for showing that your soft is very easy to use

Am still on Stock ROM ^^
Will add pictures as soon as Beta 2.2 is uploaded.
There we go, new version with sources released.
It should set the permissions to 766 and also kill the adb-deamon after pushing the script to the phone.
Just tested and all work fine !
Thank you a lot !
If you have time, could you add an "import" feature in order to use a script already saved ?
@OP: awesome job dude

So with this tool we dont need voltage control anymore right?
Anyways, the intructions are: enable the debug mode, plug the device, generate a script and select the push command correct? We need to start the adb server?
Directly from my SGS II using xda premium
@TecQuality: No, you don't have to start the server manually, the adb push command starts the adb-deamon/adb server automatically but won't stop the deamon afterwards therefor I stop the server after pushing the bootscript and setting the permissions.
So you just start the tool, plug your phone to the pc in usb-debug mode, choose your configs and press ADB Push, after that restart your phone and the bootscript should apply at systemstart.

No, it won't. This is supposed to be a unification for all the stuffs that one can unite on the GNex. I will try to create an app to do this along side of improving this script in the future.
TBH with the recent CM episode I felt this is needed even more, screw them all. My script or app won't include things that won't work with CM like what they did, I assure you.

It's fine, the mod is already written in a way that it can handle update like this with ease. If there's actually a new sysfs that isn't exist anywhere else, I will add it if I deem it necessary. If that were not the case I would be in for maintenance hell for every kernel of every dev's update .

You're welcome. I actually wanted to get into kernel dev before but it seems like destiny is a ***** and I am stuck with these, as I am not going able to find enough time to care for my ROM, this mod, the app that I wanted to create and a kernel to add to these. Ranting aside, I'm fine with how things are .
Where is trickster.conf?
Don't understand, I installed the zip, but no trickster.conf appeared in /sdcard...
Ok, probably a dumb question,
But can these literally be used on ANY rom?
Or at least any ICS rom?
For example, would this be useful on a moto atrix running ICS? (CM9 based)
There a few ICS roms for the atrix floating around and I just wanna know if I should share this thread with some of the devs over there?
I do have a G-nex that ive been able to play with over the last couple days, and its sweet! If I flash this mod, are there any noticeable changes right off the bat, or just after imputing a command through terminal?
Thanks, and nice job

Theoretically, it should work anywhere with an ARMv7 CPU and Android 2.3 or higher but this has been tested only on GNex varieties by me and my testers. Still as I wrote this for GNex kernels, this script of course can't change kernel features that this script does not have. Basically I think it should work but with limited functionality, to be sure just nandroid first before applying it. Still I do not support this in anyway so don't come crying to me later if anything happens and I won't answer question regarding this script and other devices further. I do believe it has some values for any device out there, but it needs ppl with some knowledge to tweak it.

Drop this file in your /system/etc folder, replacing the stock one. Cleaned up, and modified to work with a stock kernel or lean kernel.
Please open up the file, and read some of the notes I added, so you know what this does and how to change it if you so desire. It is very basic and straightforward.
Also, please remember one thing, if you want to go to the stock kernel, simply change any words in the scripts from "interactiveX" to "interactive".
Recommended lean kernel 3.16 with these scripts.
Designed to work with ALL Galaxy Note 3's running touch wiz 4.4.2 ROMs and running lean kernel or stock kernel. Other kernels are not guaranteed due to the voltages applied.
This will make a huge difference in performance and battery. Been using this (developed by me) for a long time now.
Summary:
*I/O optimization
*tuned interactive parameters
*fixed sysfs permissions for cpu's (root now has full control of sysfs tuneables)
*GPU sysfs identified for user to customize
*screen off frequency set to 1.2 GHz (can be changed by user)
*custom voltage set for bin 2 device. (Read instructions within file to adjust for others bins accordingly)
*custom mpdecision tuning and other relevant instruction regarding mpdecision binary
*general CPU tweaks for better performance, responsiveness and battery life (yes all 3 can be achieved, and are)
Again, open the file with a file explorer (or notepad+ in windows). Read it, understand it, adjust what you want, or leave it be. These settings are very much dialed in for the interactiveX governor of LK. It won't get much better. I'd say take a look at the voltage portion and mpdecision for now (found at the end).
Once more, drop file into the /system/etc directory... Replace the existing one, and reboot.

Updated today... many useful changes, and fixes (set up for stock kernel for now)

Needs to be done post boot, otherwise the stock "post_boot" file does what it does post boot. Make sense?
Init.d executes earlier in the boot sequence. Therefore, some of the parameters will be overridden.

All good, I went ahead and did it anyway, it's def making a difference, battery life was not great but now it's better! Thanks for all the hard work guys, keep it up! I'll reflash DomPop again soon, it was unstable for me but Phoenix has been great
This activated all cores and set to performance... when i selected interactive the min value was 422... Am I doing something wrong? Everything stock and rooted 442
Edit. .. Ok I changed from interactivex to interactive and that fixed gov problem but all cores activated and min set to 422... Is that right?
Yes, minimum is 422 MHz because the l2 cache is bumped into action at that speed (as opposed to not being so at 300) and the voltage is the same.
In short, 300 is no5 used because 422 is faster, and without the extra hit on battery
Will this work with 4.4.4 w/o any issues? Been thinking on trying it on but I don't want it to mess anything and re-install stuff.
d-wad,
I cannot give you a definite answer there, as I have not yet looked at anything in 4.4.4.
If you can provide me a copy of the post_boot file for 4.4.4, I can take a look at it and see. I can't imagine why anything would have changed in this file, but you never know. All it takes is one line of code to cause something to go a little wonky for you.
Thanks, and just shoot me a PM.
Just giving you all a heads up.... I think there may have been a few errors in the stock init.qcom.post_boot file (they are human too, remember).
I am testing a few small changes to certain lines in the "factory" script to make sure. A brief explanation of it is that there are certain lines I removed from the one you all are using right now, and I did so because the file paths being called out did not exist!
However, I was going over this again tonight, getting ready for the official LP release and decided to review this odd discrepancy one more time. After doing some digging, I found that the file that some of those values were intended to be written to, were actually somewhere else!
Doh! - Sammy/QC. It is very possible that this location changed from a previous design or fs structure and somebody simply forgot to modify the script. Very interesting indeed.
Anyways, after I run this for a couple of days and do a little bit more investigating, I'll post the updated script for all of you.
Updated file and link... I recommend using this file or implementing these items into your current set up. Many of the changes are critical errors existing in the stock post_boot file, or simple optimization enhancements for our devices.
How to revert?
Sorry... TOTAL NOOB here...Do I just copy the orig file somewhere else, and drop this in place as you instruct? ( may have answered my own Q)
Seems a wise precaution.
I am running effortless rom rev 8 (lovin it too)
Hey Guys,
I thought while waiting for the first custom kernels that maybe i should have a look at the interactive values and try to tweak them based on this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
So i took a script from @Alcolawl and modified it to work with our device. Many thanks for his scripts.
I adjusted the values to our snapdragon 820 as the original scripts are for the nexus 6p which runs with a snapdragon 810. (octa on the 810 vs quad-core on the 820)
I´d highly recommend to try these values as it gave me a significant boost in battery life. here is a screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbxiBXaZVu-N1lsRTMyZ2hsY1k/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbxiBXaZVu-N1MzamRvM2FVZlk/view?usp=sharing
BIG UPDATE: with base 1.80 i´m not able to trick the touch/Input boost from htc´s pnpmgr with a chmod command like i did before. so all versions since Butterfly v11 will disable pnpmgr completely.
that means if you Play high end games and your device overheats like crazy please Report back. i had no Problem until now.
also there are now 2 versions. the oc one is for overclocked cpus with elementalx. without oc is for the default clock speeds.
here are explanations on what the 2 different stragies do:
Butterfly - A culmination of all strategies, provides smoothest performance of all currently published settings, though battery savings are a little more modest. Excellent for light and moderate users; heavy/marathon users might want to check out a different setting profile as it gets battery intense with heavy usage.
GhostPepper - Uses a quantized, frequency-aligned parametric curve to influence low core clock rates while providing extremely smooth transitions from each clock rate and exceptional battery life. Good for light to medium usage and multitasking.
So basically there will be two ways of applying this mod.
First one is via scripts. this allows to set parameters outside of the interactive governor controls like cpu boost, editing of pnpmgr, min/max frequencies etc. so basically there´s more control.
Second one is via EX Kernel Manager. I will upload the profiles and you can apply them directly into the app. This will however only affect the tunables of the interactive governor. Touchboost has to be set manually for the profile to work exactly as intended.
when the phrase "elex" is in the zips name it is for use with ex kernel manager app (loading profile in governor options screen.
so to try the script method follow these steps. (and before do a nandroid as always)
1. download the attched file.
2. unzip the file, choose the correct script (oc if you have overclocked)
3. with a root explorer or terminal copy the file to system/su.d
4. set the correct permissions (rwxr-xr-x)
now you may either choose to change the settings temporary (step 5A) until the next reboot or permanently upon each reboot (step 5B)
5A. rename the file to 50ghostpeppertenv3.sh
use any script manager and run the script from this location (system/su.d)
alternatively use any terminal emulator app with the following commands
su
cd system/su.d
sh 50ghostpeppertenv3.sh
Be advised that the script takes in its current state 60 seconds to be applied. So the changes need a minute to be applied.
now check if the script has applied
- to do this go to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
- if it looks like this: "25 480000:35 652800:45 844800:60 960000:75 1113600:85 1228800:90 1401600:95 1593600:100" the script was applied successfully
- the values changed with each update. what´s important to check is just the generel layout
5B. (-if you did the temporary approach beforehand remove the .sh)
- it should look like 50ghostpeppertenv3 (make sure there are now spaces at the end)
reboot and check if the script has applied
- to do this go to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads
- if it looks like this : "25 480000:35 652800:45 844800:60 960000:75 1113600:85 1228800:90 1401600:95 1593600:100" the script was applied successfully.
-- the values changed with each update. what´s important to check is just the generel layout
Important!!!
if you run permissive and run into no signal issue due to this look here
if you should run into a no signal issue where your baseband shows as unknown under software status ( currently on custom roms eg leedroid) you have to put a script to system/su.d that sets selinux to permissive. attached is such a script.
unzip it. copy it to system/su.d
set the same permissions as the ghostpepper script and your good to go.
running in terminal the command "getenforce" should return permissive.
Second method via Elemental App:
1. Download the desired profile from the attachments
2.Extract the Profiles from the zip
3. Choose the Overclocked(oc) version if you overclocked
4.Copy the file to sdcard/ElementalX/gov_profiles
5. Open the app and apply the values
let me know if it brings a little battery boost for you. you may also let me know if you face performance issues.
Thank you and have fun testing it.
Changelog:
Ghostpepper:
v1: Initial Release
v2: Tweaking The Script so the values will get applied properly on all roms
adding a permissive script in case of getting enforced
v3: Removed touchboost so the profile may unleash its full potential <<--- results in overall slower device.
v4: Added back short input boost
v4withtb: Added back original touch boost from htc
v8: New try on getting the interface smooth and disabling touchboost (minimal stutter remains)
v8withtb: same as v8 touchboost is still active
v9: only one version with touchboost now. tweaked target loads (lower freqs are used more), short input boost
there are now two files inside the zip.
v10: try to further improve frequency usage, less aggressive scaling
v11: fix in case Little cores might get stuck at highest clock
Butterfly
v4: Initial Release
v4withtb: Initial Release with original touch boost from htc (extremely smooth)
v6withtb: tuned the values and kept touchboost from pnpmgr, kernel touch boost is disabled, extremely smooth for me
v7: less aggressive scaling, performance should be really good while reducing less power than v6
v9: basically scaling is tuned to respect the crossover effieciency point from big and little cluster
v11: updated to work on base 1.80
- disable pnpmgr completely because the chmod trick for disabling pnpmgr´s touchboost is no longer working
- enable msm_thermal and core_control
v12: tweak some values to work better with the new base
v13: hotfix as i made a mistake in the previous version

Thanks for this - about to try it out now.
Question, though - Instead of using init.d, which requires a modified ramdisk, why not just use su.d, which only requires SuperSU?
EDIT: It doesn't seem to be loading when using su.d either.
Thanks. I'm using it now. Will let you know if there are any performance problems.
Can you also make a script that makes the phone smoother?

Yeah it's strange. When flar will Releases his kernel, init.d will be hopefully working.
Seems like we have to apply it manually for now. When exkm gets updated we can switch profiles there so maybe we should just find good values now.

Did you face a performance loss with these values? For me it's already pretty smooth.
But sure I may trim it more performance oriented yes.

Compared to stock I feel no performance loss, as smooth as stock. What I actually meant was a new script for buttery smooth nexus like experience.
Btw I will also check how hot it will get. On stock the phone gets sometimes hot watching youtube etc. Hopefully it'll better with this script

Got it working with su.d. Just needed to add some sleep at the beginning of the script, otherwise it runs too early and the parameters can't be set .
P.S. You didn't answer my question about why you're not using su.d instead of init.d?

Sure, right now I'm just trying to find the minimum sleep value that works, and once I do, I'll post it.
RE: su.d, see the 2nd paragraph here: http://su.chainfire.eu/#selinux-policies-supolicy
An additional advantage besides the ones listed there is that in a systemless root setup, su.d doesn't require modifying system at all, which is important for being able to take OTA updates in the future. On this device, I try to touch system as little as possible (if at all), so it might be a better alternative, and doesn't require a custom ramdisk.

sleep 30 didn't work for me, as I have another script running before this one. It's probably safer to go with sleep 60 to make sure it loads for everyone (sleep 45 did work for me too, but 30 was too short - figured it's better to allow more time). Just a suggestion, or you could just tell people that if it doesn't load for them to increase the sleep value. Up to you, really.
EDIT: And I don't know anything about a pvs bin

Okay i'll edit it to 60.
This is what I'm talking about. Every Chip has a pvs bin. The higher the bin the lower the voltage for a certain cpu frequency.
And every bin has its own voltage table.

Hey @Freak07,
Wondering if you can help.. Can't seem to get this working?? Please see attachment. I've set permissions and used terminal to get it working but no dice?
Edit: Nevermind.... I can't follow simple instructions to unzip a file (I was renaming the zip rather than unzipping and renaming that to .sh).... #Special
Edit 2: Went straight for option 5b (so it should have worked on reboot). When I rebooted I lost the radio and have had to clean flash my ROM? I was on Leedroid's Rom when it happened.

OPTIMIZE YOUR CM13
PREREQUISITES:
CyanogenMod 13 ROM
Nokia X
You
First of all, this thread's purpose is to make our Marshmallow Experience better. I have been using a CM13 ROM and it's good, but it can never surpass Stock ROM in stability, smoothness and other things alike.
Now, assuming that you've already done all the things that has to be done on successfully booting the ROM (repartitioning, flashing Gapps, etc), we're gonna start .
TIPS
NO. 1
Code:
Do not use too many apps! I mean, we have a very low end phone right here and were aiming to make it better. Use only the apps that you need. Much less apps, much less lag :good:
NO. 2
Code:
If you're gonna have to flash Gapps, flash the [I]pico[/I] one. Since it's the most logical thing to use in this device.
NO. 3
Code:
Refrain from using themes. They consume RAM and lags the UI.
NO. 4
Code:
Replace Trebuchet(CM's default launcher) with any other third party launchers. *cough*Nova*cough*
NO. 5
Code:
Use other root solutions (SuperSU, Magisk etc). I had problem with CM su.
More to come
TRICKS
NO. 1
You're gonna have to enable developer options in setting (tap build no. until it's enabled). The go to Hardware accelerated rendering. Enable Force GPU rendering and Disable HW overlays. You can optionally tweak the animation speed if you like.
NO. 2
The DPI of the ROM is 240, which I think is okay for our phones. But on my opinion, the best one that suites or device is 220. You can change it in Setting > Display & lights > LCD density
NO. 3
Having only the back button working is a pain. We can enable the Navigation Bar by adding this line to /system/build.prop
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]qemu.hw.mainkeys=0[/FONT]
NO. 3
Enable root in Settings > Developer options > Root access. Choose Apps and ADB
REMOVING CM BLOATWARES
Assuming you already have Root access, Install Terminal Emulator.
After that type:
Code:
su
Which will then prompt you with Root authentication, grant it.
Now, we can disable (not delete/uninstall) bloats using this command,
Code:
pm disable <name of the app>
Here's the list of what we don't need:
org.cyanogemod.screencast (Screen Recorder)
org.cyanogenmod.theme.chooser2 (Theme Chooser, we don't need it )
com.android.email (Do you use email?? If you do, do not include this)
com.android.exchange (Exchange Services)
All of the live wallpapers and Live wallpaper picker (i think you can find them on your own)
com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver (Cell Broadcast)
com.cyanogenmod.updater (CM Updater)
com.android.printspooler (Print Spooler)
com.svox.pico (Pico TTS)
org.cyanogenmod.screencast (Screen Recorder)
org.cyanogenmod.weather.provider (Weather Provider)
org.cyanogenmod.weather.service (Weather service)
BUILD.PROP TWEAKS
Next thing we do is to add these on build.prop
Code:
debug.performance.tuning=1
persist.sys.ui.hw=1
persist.sys.composition.type=gpu
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=interpret-only
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=interpret-only
debug.composition.type=gpu
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.kernel.checkjni=0
profiler.force_disable_ulog=0
profiler.debugmonitor=false
debugtool.anrhistory=0
# more to come
KERNEL ADIUTOR
Install this one Kernel Adiutor and you can edit many things.
Go to CPU section, then choose ondemand as default governor since it's basically more performance driven that other governors (except performance governor ).

let me add some..open kernel adiutor...
1) change io scheduler...its most important.. better choose cfq bcoz default is deadline which means single task only...that is you can't pull even status bar while an app is opening!!!
2) my CPU settings ( to prevent overheating and greater performance)
choose conservative governor
then choose its settings and set
low/min threshold=65
high/max threshold=90
its just the best setting for everything

Actually, the difference you feel comes from the cpu/governor something script, which pushes the cpu to it's limits. Every other script won't do anything, that's why they have another guy managing the beta thread because the orig guy doesn't know how to
