im running cm7/rc4 n i just finish installing kernel Savaged-Zen v1.0.1 and im looking for the best performance overall, keep in mind im not really worrying about the battery life cuz i carry 5 batteries with me at all times...ive read a few posts but all worry about battery so what would u guys recommend for best performance i have min245 max1190 and my governor on PERFORMANCE i want speed/performance etc i also see some ppl talk about setting a profile so i appreciate the help, thanx

If you're not at all worried about battery life then setting it at 1190 min and max, running with the performance governor would do it.
So I can set the min also at 1190, cool I thought the min is supposed to stay low but like I said if is because of the battery, I carry 5 with me but if there's no problem with running both at Max...thanx

I can't promise that your cores life won't decrease...but that would be fastest I suppose.
Dude I just reboot it running both at max1190 n holy s h I t... SUPERFAST!!!! thanx, I always carry 5 batt n I never use them cuz since I installed cm7 my battery was awesome so I was only using 2 or 3 a day but ph feels good now, thanx I'm not an expert when it comes to all this hacking...I got this far by following instructions cuz other than that I don't understand half of the words they use in this hacking world of phones lol, thanx a lot man
i search for help before posting this, whats the difference between savaged zen CFS OR BFS cuz i flashed the latest Savaged-Zen CFS on my evo running cm7 but when i set the max cpu to 1190 it automatically restarted my phone but my phone was stuck on boot never came on so before that one i also the savaged zen fr 3/30/11 n it was real fast it would load the internet fast or get to where ever real fast but once there on the page it was real laggy n sluggish which let me note that thats what i want, speed, i dont really care too much about battery cuz i carry 5 with me but i havent try BFS cuz i dont want to keep messing up my phone, which one u guys would b best for performance but that would also b response like cm7 running 1113 i would like to run 1190 cpu but keep my responsiveness thank u
CFS = completely faie scheduler. Better background app performance.
BFS = brainfuck scheduler. Better foreground app performance.
Some people swear by either. BFS /seems/ faster to me. Try both.
hey router54g thanks a bunch ama try BFS now thanx

cfs: guaranteed to work well. stock scheduler. smooth. works better for some than others.
bfs: not guaranteed to work well. for some, terrible. for others FANTASTIC. this is a luck of the draw sort of thing. this scheduler is usually not as smooth as cfs, and can sometimes have really bad performance, but for some people this is much much better. it isn't the stock scheduler, so it has to be built in manually. try it.

Would also have to add in to change ur governors around as well. On smartass mine is very laggy but on demand and its perfect.
Dam I just finish trying both of them and everytime I set my Max to 1190 my phone keeps on booting n freezing and it stops working n stays on reboot n my buddy is running the exact same thing, cm7 with the dark horse theme v1.2b n his works nicely I have my min at 1113 n Max at 1190 n performance n it just doesn't work, I don't knw what's going on

All your gonna do is kill your battery and instability with those settings keep the min at somewhere halfway at the most. 1152 has been the average stable maximum. Anything higher than that will just cause problems.
Just because the speedometer goes to 150, does not mean you should take the car that fast.
Lol ur right I ride a sportsbike so I'm used to living on the edge but I like the speed, I don't really worry about batt cuz I carry five with me but reading ur post helps me cuz if 1152 is really the stable than I should just keep the kernel fr cm7/rc4 cuz is one step down n smooth I just thought I would b able to run it at 1190 but guess not, thanx though

Set your min to the lowest possiblle. Your governer will scale it up as needed. Min freq is only really hit when your CPU is idling to save battery. When this happens the CPU isn't really being used. Imagine it as your car's RPMs. You wouldn't want to idle at 6000 RPMs, it'll only kill your tranny/engine (CPU/power circuitry) quicker and guzzle gas (battery) like mad.
Also experiment with governers. Savaged-Zen worked best for me at first but lately it's slowing down (it's supposed to learn your behavior over time; same results on my brother's phone so obviously it doesn't work well). I'm using straight-up OnDemand right now and it seems to be pretty responsive.
Lastly those crashes are from overaggressive clocks (speeds). Not every CPU on the wafer is createe equal. Some phones can't sustain 1190, some can sustain more. It's luck of the draw when you buy your phone.

I think BFS vs CFS comes down to how many background processes you have running. But you gotta be careful with task killers. Only kill the apps you won't be opening again for a while, and only autokill the tasks you rarely use. It ends up costing more battery and performance-wise to kill and the later reload many tasks than to just let them idle. Remember most tasks won't eat up any CPU whennot in use, and Android handles their RAM usage well enough for most cases.
I have recently rooted my dhd and currently running CM7. Using the cpu setting within the performance menu I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on a noticeable but safe increase of cpu speed. its set as 1017MHz which i believe is default. I am told I can run anything up to 1500 safely. can anyone confirm this and also tell me what kind of result (performance and battery life) i should expect.
thanks
Well, I use Android Revolution HD (a sense rom, meaning heavy UI!) and i overclock to about 1.3GHz. In terms of battery life when it's awake, it seems a drain a teeny bit more readily, but I've never had a freeze on sense (quite rare)
On stock it underclocks to let the processor max at around 400MHz when the screens off, so that helps to really save a lot of battery on standby. On CM, I'd expect it'd feel more or less the same in terms of performance after you hit 1.2/1.3GHz

thanks for the reply mate. going to try out revolution HD soon i think. have you overclocked using a third party app or is there one built into that rom?
also im a little confused by the governors. 'on demand' is the default governor. Does that mean it will only use the max selected cpu speed when necessary? would you recommend using a difference setting?
cheers

The CPU is managed by the ROM itself. You can tweak it yourself by using setCPU (or similar), but I can advise you not to. Can't help you with the governors buddy, since I dunno what it is

Lucky you picked a linuxhead!
The system itself has a daemon (background process built into the system) that handles overclocking. It's all explained on the page and also on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14638641&postcount=34279
You can use another app (like SetCPU) but the daemon usually handles screen off's quicker. The governors basically determine how the processor frequency is changed. I'll explain the common ones:
Performance - Runs at highest speed, so if you have a range of 200 to 1.3G, it'll stay at 1.3G all the time, not usually the best
Ondemand - The universal default for phone overclocking, it only changes the speed up after a certain percentage of the CPU is used, and it switches on the fly, so if the CPU is used too much at 400MHz, it'll ramp it up to maybe 600 or 800, and if it's still overused, it'll put it up to maybe 1 or 1.2G
Conservative - This is like ondemand, except it makes the changes more gradual. It can give noticable lags in the foreground at times, so this is mainly used when the phone is asleep (screen off)
Smartass - This governor is like ondemand, except it'll less readily switch frequencies to higher values when it detects the screen off. This isn't really used because the overclocking daemons take into account the phone being awake or not
Basically, there isn't really a need to change governors, only really frequencies if anything. The thread, however, does tell you how to change governors.
Im using latest LeeDroid GB 3.2.1 and to be honest with the work he's done with the Kernal (3.1.8BFS) I have found that the ROM is a lot MORE responsive without me overclocking the CPU.
Im not really sure how it all works, but I guess doing this on different ROMS has its own different out comes.
overclocking has me confused too, is there really that much of a benefit in it? how much will i gain from it?

There is a benefit when you use certain apps, or even sense itself. For example, I've never had sense ui freeze, or go slow. The under clocking helps to improve the rubbish battery life when your phone is asleep.
In terms of measuring the gain, I have no idea. Really, I'd think you could use a process heavy app, or benchmarking app and see.
There's also loads of guides on overclocking to help out! (that's how I got the hang of it! )

For the need on OC, it depends on the kind of apps u're using. If u're happy w a non OC DHD, its totally up to u.
But for the UC, it works as a terrific battery saver, mich better/effective than other battery saver soln on market
The safe range depends on the DHD as the manufacturing changed even though same part, i'm OC 1.5GHz "On Demand" profile and under clock 245MHz on screen off "Power Save" profile.

Hi guys, i've been looking into many threads and reading a lot of posts and asking a lot of questions. however i know that their is not for sure answer to this but i would like to see what you guys believe to be your best kernel for battery and performance. i have seen people say it is Godmode (v9), Tiamat v4.1.0, Tiamat v3.3.7, and Savaged-zen v2.2.1. (ALL of these ARE with SBC-OFF). i just want to know what is you best kernel at the moment for your evo with decks or cm7.
Side Question: what is the difference between the governors: (Interactive, InteractiveX, Smartass, SmartassV2, Savaged-zen, and Lag Free)?
- Thank You
I like Tiamat 4.1.0, but I can't help you for your side question. I'm still new to development and rooting

i know you said your new but im just wondering have you tried any other kernels?
and what is your battery life with Tiamat 4.1.0
I've used damn near every kernel available for CM7. And by far the BEST kernel for battery life is Savaged Zen. I'm on a stock battery and it just seems to last forever. Add to that the fact that the battery lasts all day without sacrificing performance at all. Every phone is different and you may or may not see the same results. This is just what has worked for my phone. Honestly, your best bet is to get flash happy with various kernels until you find one that gives you the performance and battery life that you're looking for. By the way, I use SVZ Manager with my kernel so that I can toggle SBC on and off as I please. It's a nice apk that gives you some flexibility.

I've tried Tiamat 4.0.8 and a Savaged Zen kernel (can't remember which version). They both gave me about 12 hours of battery life on an average day(for me). But an average day for me is going to school, so I'm not on my phone as much. I haven't gotten to really test the battery life because I haven't looked at it on the weekend when I'm not at school. But like Concordium said, every phone is different! Try them all!

at the moment i am using the latest svz kernel with the svz manager as well. i have been flashing many kernels and for a while i was happy when i used the godmode kernel my phone lasted me 1 day and 6 hours, however he is no longer updating his kernels =( i'm hoping to find another kernel such as that one that will give me around the same results ^_^

well im testing this one out at the moment and it has given me so far 17 hours and 20 mins, still at 31% battery, im just not sure if it'll do better than godmode did, at the moment im running it on the smartass kernel and i ran godmode on interactive so maybe that is the prob... however another issue is i've heard that svz is no longer updating as well... do u know if this is true? and one random thing that only a few people have told me is that they run on performance and overclock their phone and get the best battery from it, is that possible or a lie?
Edit: it lasted 20 hours and 53 mins, so since it didn't do as good as GodMode did then im gonna try the tiamat 4.1.0 now cause it has first place in the poll atm.

Its true that its not being updated anymore. It sucks but I plan to ride it out as long as the kernel functions properly with CM. Once it starts screwing up then I'll switch.
Those who say they get the best battery life by overclocking and putting their phone on performance are full of crap. Performance governor is basically the polar opposite of Powersave. Performance keeps your cpu constantly running at a high frequency. Logic states that overclocking to 1.13 ghz and perpetually running at that frequency requires more power than running at 245 mhz. The more power required the less time your battery will stay alive. Powersave gives you best battery life but gives you crap performance. Interactive, Smartass, and Ondemand give you a balance of performance and battery life. Performance gives you the best performance but crap battery life.
By the way, do you really need a phone that can stay off the charger for more than 21 hours? :-x

no i do not but! 3 days of the week im at school doing nothing for 8-10 hours so... i think if my phone can run longer than a day w/o charging then it mean i can play games on my phone while waiting and by the end of the day i'll still have battery. and does it make sense for someone to get better battery life on interactive than on smartass?

Well Smartass, as I've heard it described, is sort of like Interactive 2.0. It's basically the interactive governor but better. Unfortunately, I do not know enough of the exact specifics of the governors to tell you which SHOULD be getting better battery. I would just run each of those governors and see which one works better for you.
And I thought your phone already lasted 21 hours with a decent amount of usage. You need to test the governors/kernels in the exact situation you are going to be using the phone. Interactive, Ondemand, and Smartass would all manage the phone pretty much the same if you just leave it alone and let it sit till the battery drains. but they each manage the power allocation supplied to the cpu very differently during actual use. One ramps up the voltage quickly while one scales it up more gradually. So take your charger with you to school, in case you run into trouble, and use the phone as you believe you will be using it in the future. Then you'll have a more accurate idea of which setup works best for you.

just wondering what do you keep your cpu settings at: the governor, cpu min & max?
When I am plugged into my wall charger I keep it at 1113/245. I use Performance for benchmarking and testing since I don't need to worry about battery life and Smartass when doing everything else. For normal every day use I have it at 1036/245/Smartass, Interactive, or Ondemand. I don't really have a preference between the three governors since they all make my battery last more than long enough. So it usually comes down to whichever my clumsy finger happens to accidentally select first. If I happen to not go home and need more life then I'll drop to 729/245/Conservative or Powersave. I use conservative if I still need to be able to use the phone a bit and powersave if I want my phone to just sit there and look pretty till I get back home.

You're not bugging me man. This place exists so people can ask questions and get help.
I keep my min at 245 because I've read, in multiple places, that allowing it to go any lower is not something your cpu really appreciates. Just like there is such thing as too high with your clock speed there is also a too low. And everywhere I have seen 245 is the preferred low end. I am not 100% sure as to why but I would assume that it is because your cpu needs at least a certain amount of power to run the basic processes required to keep your phone functional. Similar to a computer. Lower the cpu too much and it just can't do what it needs to.

I don't remember there being a thread dedicated to this. I just remember it from posts I saw within different OC/UV threads. Do a Google search for it and see if that returns any results. Like I said, I doubt you'll find a full dedicated thread. But you may be able to find the individual posts where it's mentioned.

With Tiamat 4.1 and juicedefender I get the best battery performance and v6 supercharger I have a smooth screen with no problems or lag at all.
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction of info to help me choose what's best for my phone....
I'm running kitslim evo5 and doomkernel...
I've got trickstermod installed and have my setup as follows:
Read ahead buffer - 512
Scheduler - fiops
CPU Governer - smartassv2
GPU Governer - msm-adreno-tz
Max freq - 450
My main questions are based around me moving from lagfree to smartassv2 my phone seems to run quite warm but battery is still good??
Also what's good to do with my read ahead buffer etc??
I don't game ever, infact I only use my phone for calls, texts, music and web browsing.
Would I benefit from using zRAM?
I've got trickstermod on "eco mode".
Also my CPU clock speeds and voltage are standard.
Can ANYONE give me some realistic figures to apply to minimise resource usage, power consumption and increase battery life?
When I had my Xperia Ray I had it underclocked quite a bit running gingerbread (I think I was running it at 650mhz!) but it was an absolute ROCKET and underclocking that low saved quite a bit on heat and definitely helped battery without me noticing any performance loss. **I couldn't run the CPU that low on jelly bean at all though it would lag like hell and stutter at the most basic of tasks like opening the app drawer**
I'm hoping to achieve something like this with this phone, or is it out of the question as I've got 4cores and am running kitkat?
Sorry for the essay but just trying to get across all my info and explain as when I try researching it most people give the response "everyone's phone needs different values... It depends how youre using it blah blah"
ANY help/input would be greatly appreciated and met with +1's :good:

That's essentially what it boils down to, it's your Phone so you need to play about with it until you find your perfect setup.

Yeah i was just hoping to get a ball park or rough idea of values that i could start from, assuming that there is at least a few other people trying to do this already

There's a great guide here, which although was written for the Evo, it does list a lot of the governours and schedulers that the Sony has built in.

thanks Didgesteve i have read a few webpages like that :good:
At the minute ive brought my GPU down 2 steps so running at 320 and ive got my CPU clocked at 1.4 and the governer on lagfree as it seems to keep the phone temperatures down, smartassv2 definitely makes the phone (well, THIS phone) run hot
im thinkin that lagfree probably isnt as power saving as i need though, also i turned off ECO mode as this is just for 2 cores apparently.
kept my i/o scheduler as fiops as it seems to be the newest and best? lol i dont really know i could be gettin this all wrong.
had my phone clocked at 900mhz yesterday and noticed a slight drop in performance but for the most part it ran fine:laugh: was a little laggy whilst listening to music and web browsing so turned it up to 1.4, and it runs fluidly :fingers-crossed:
