Wich is better for battery saving ?
Powersave should be better in terms of battery usage, but worse in terms of lags.
IMHO the default governor does a very good work. In my eyes, half an hour more screen time isn't worth the effort at all.
I use conservative, haven't lag, I like this. Default setting is interactive mode.
Thanks ?

Im running CM7 with ADW EX launcher and a 3500 MAH battery. I want to know how I should adjust the CPU for maxium performance? Any suggestions help. Thanks!
Whatever setting you want.
Performance will run the cpu at max. Best performance, worst battery
conservative slowly ramps up the cpu, usually good performance and battery
ondemand ramps up cpu quickly and slowly moves it down. better perfromance, worse battery (than conservative)
Interactive - tries to modify cpu a little more efficiently- performance and battery unknown (there is no known concesus as far as I know)
Therefore if you want amazing performance and dont care about battery go performance, if you want to use your phone more than 6 hours, go with ondemand or interactive.
Thank you

If ADW Ex feels laggy, download VM Heap Tool and increase the dalvik heap size. That always worked better for me than increasing the cpu - at least as far as the launcher goes.

Seen a lot of conflicting comments stating using smartass governor means there is no need for profiles to be setup and can actually be detriment to the battery life and speed of phone.
Is this true or could I benefit from setting up profiles to get my usage optimised.
Below is a quote which will explain you everything about smartass governor
From it's developer:
"smartass governor - is based on the concept of the interactive governor. I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies. Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!"

In rom control > cpu frequency?
What value have i set on min and max?
What type i have to set on governor?
What type i have to set on IO scheduler?
All setting cpu freq depend on what?
[ROM][AOKP][JB][RC]ARC S[Build 5]
[KERNEL][FUSION v3.7]
Have min and max set as the highest or 1.4 . set governor as performance, and have 'noop' as IO. Of course, the frequency entirely depends on what you want from your phone - best performance with high battery drain, laggy as hell performance with best battery life, or somwhere in the middle

[ROM][AOKP][JB][RC]ARC S[Build 5]
[KERNEL][FUSION v3.7]
the higher the frequency/value, the faster and better performance your phone will have. So depending on how slow/fast you want your phone, set the frequency/value to the appropriate/corresponding level of performance
Basicly you have to experiment with the cpu freq in order to determine the best freq for your desire (gaming,smoothines,battery drain)
As for guvernors - Performance will always keep it at max freq so it drains ur batttery like hell
- Smartass will use lower freq and less the max freq so its the best for battery life and smoothines in my experience.
If you used search you would have found -> gouvernors info
Gouvernor Infos
AS for I/o sched -Noop has the best ratio for perfo/batt life.
Performance sheeet comparison of sched and guvernors

Better set Interactive because performence eats battery
cpu
what the best cpu ferequency for arc s?
for bettey battery life?
what is governor?
what is i/o schedual?
ihave a problen in set cpu
i set the cpu for an app , and when i go to app and after close the app , don't back ferequency to values that i set in the main screen
and the ferequency set to maximum
What are the best options one gaming performance and second for battery performance. I am currently on zen/ondemand.
note 2
IO does not contribute much to every day performance. Most of the governers should scale to max during games so don't worry about that but if you really want max performance just set it to performance. Best battery life is obviously the power saver governer but honestly for every day performance OnDemand or Pegasusq is the best of both worlds
Currently under clocked at 1.2ghz, in combination with aggressive govr and row sched
What about interactive?
I am seriously tired of battery drain so I am now searching for a governor that would balance between Battery Life and Performance. I read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817 but actually I was lost in that large number of governors, so Can anyone simply tell me what governor is the best ? I mainly leave WiFi On but Screen On is not usually for a large time ...

afaik and base on their details. personally, i use interactive+row on stock then smartassv2/ lulzactive+sio on custom.
SmartassV2:
The motto of this governor is a balance between performance and battery
SavagedZen:
Another smartassV2 based governor. Achieves good balance between performance & battery as compared to brazilianwax.
edit:
Q. "Ok. Enough of explanations. Tell me which governor is for performance and which one is for battery life."
A. Tough question! lulzactive and smartassV2 for a balance between performance and battery. For light weight tasks, lulzactive should be better for battery. And for heavy weight tasks, lulzactive should be better for performance also.
NOTE: It's not so easy to tame luzactive. If you don't know how exactly to do it, stay away from it or you will end up complaining about battery drain!

I use SmartAss V2 and SIO as governor and scheduler.
Like you, my wifi is permanently on, but screen is not on for long periods, and using this combo since Alpha releases of CM10 onward I have had good results, getting up to 2 days plus on CM10 EOL, and currently on LiquidSmooth 2.9 am getting well over a day from a charge.
Performance is good and LiquidSmooth ROM runs beautifully at stock CPU speeds (I currently use educk's Phenom Kernel ported by Madridii with 370Mb RAM, but have had great results with any Madridii kernel)
