Scaryghoul, I have installed your 1.8 suv successfully on Mikshift. This is great news. I knew it would work, but for some reason I just cant get it running on aosp. I will keep you updated on IRC or through this thread, I haven't seen you on today yet.

Intro: I'm scaryghoul.
What this includes
Swap
BFQ I/o scheduler
Extreme undervolt
Overclocked & underclocked values
HW3D enabled
Sleepers disabled
Smartass governor
New Scary governor!
Tweaked conservative governor
and much more(All of bcnice20's kernel)
Why it's labeled unstable: So I don't get people poking me in the eyes with spoons if/when it freezes up. It actually works quite well, but since I heavily undervolted an undervolted kernel, it is bound to not be 100% stable(It is about 90% stable =P)
Disclaimer: What everyone else puts in kernel threads, about me not being responsible, ect.
Latest kernels
The voltages of the superUV will not work for everyone, if they don't work for you, then try the builds labeled stable
Recommended speeds 245-800mhz or 245-1ghz on scary governor && no setcpu profiles

Instructions for using swap
For a swapfile do something like this.
dd if=/dev/zero of=$Swapfile bs=1048576 count=$Size
Where $Swapfile is the location of the file you want, and $Size is the amount of mb for swap you want to use.
Then type
mkswap $Path
swapon $Path
Replacing $Path/$Size with your own values of course, so if I wanted 20mb of swap I'd execute the commands
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile bs=1048576 count=20
mkswap /sdcard/swapfile
swapon /sdcard/swapfile
Governor exlainations
Toasty makes one transition to the max speed and stays there(benchmarks only usually)
Batterysave! sits at the bottom and when the cpu load increases past the threshhold it scales up to the next speed and takes another load sample and keeps doing that(best on battery life/performance ratio)
Ondemand sits at the bottom and when the cpu load increases past the threshhold, it scales ot the max speed then takes another load sample and scales down accordingly
Powersave makes one transition to the bottom speed and stays there
Smartass(Quoted from another author http://www.ziggy471.com/2010/11/07/smartass-governor-info ) - "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!"
Scary - A new governor I wrote based on conservative with some smartass features, it scales accordingly to conservatives laws. So it will start from the bottom, take a load sample, if it's above the upthreshold, ramp up only one speed at a time, and ramp down one at a time. It will automatically cap the off screen speeds to 245Mhz, and if your min freq is higher than 245mhz, it will reset the min to 120mhz while screen is off and restore it upon screen awakening, and still scale accordingly to conservatives laws. So it spends most of its time at lower frequencies. The goal of this is to get the best battery life with decent performance. It will give the same performance as conservative right now, it will get tweaked over time.
Governor strategies
Conservative - Upthreshold 85, downthreshold 60
Smartass - Sleep max 245760Hz, Ramp up at 384000Hz at a time, up threshold 90, downthreshold 60
Scary - Upthreshold 80, down threshold 45, sleep max 245760Hz, sleep min, 122880Hz
Recommended apps =)
Zdbox - Great toolbox app, just don't let it run in your notifications bar, it's a cpu eater
Setcpu/Nofrills - Apps that help manage your cpu/profiles/ect.(I don't use them but they're pretty okay)
Perfect system or Elixer widgets - Widgets that monitor battery, current, cpu%, cpu speed, and more(Great for battery guru's)
Adw ex - Smoothest/fasted/lightest ratio in a launcher I've seen so far, and least cpu intensive(for me that's a big thing so the cpu scales less)
Colorize widgets - Great widgets to replace the lpp ones for those converting to other launchers.
AppMonster(pro or free) - Great backup utility, automatically backs up all apps.(I like it better than TB)
GPS Status - Great application for finding satalites near you and helping get a quick lock.
Any go dev team app - Great dev team, all their apps are worth looking at.
Frequently asked questions
Question: My phone is boot looping/not booting on the released suv, what do I do?
Answer: Your phone cannot handle the super undervolted values, you will need to flash the stable undervolted kernel
Question: My phone is running slow on the batterysave or scary governors, what do I do?
Answer: Set your minimum speed higher, those governors spend a lot of time at the lowest values
Question: How do I flash this?
Answer: You probably shouldn't be flashing one of my kernels if you don't know how(Mine are unstable =P)
Question: I'm not getting the amazing battery life/benchmark scores that others are getting
Answer: Well, every device is different, so you may not be able to score as high as some others, but you should get close at least, and the battery completely depends on usage patterns
Question: My phone can't clock to 1.8ghz, or some of the other higher values but does fine on the lower ones
Answer: Every device is different and not all can handle the same speeds/voltages, you are probably better off staying away from the higher speeds, I enabled the speeds but hope that you all are mature enough to handle them
Locating cpu% eating applications.
When in ADB shell type the following
top |grep app
Then look for items with high amounts of cpu% while the phone is idle.

Scarykernel 1.8 stable - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15373824/Sense/ScarySense1.8Stable.zip
Notes:
No I can't take the overclock any higher, I think everyone who's had a chance to take a crack at this source has tried, and going any higher seizes up after a few seconds.
Here is the source code for this build. I'll try to maintain it, I have a lot of kernel sources, but this will always be the latest release code, unless I state otherwise.
https://github.com/Scaryghoul
Credits: bcnice20 - For 99.8% of his kernel source.
Dogejcr/Preludedrew - For helping me get my laptop setup for kernel compiling.
Testers - For flashing this even though it says unstable :-X
JoesephMother - For helping me unlock the new lower clock values && other kernel related matters =)
x99percent - I used his middle clock speeds between the 3xx->7xx values as a base(edited voltages) as well as used his smartass source.

I see nobody else has chimed in on this kernel yet.. I will install Mikshift tomorrow and report my findings.

Bummer, my phone is a wuss! I can't boot either one of these. Just sits on white screen. They look cool as hell though.

Yeah both versions don't work on mine.

If you haven't been able to get past the HTC screen at boot and keep bootlooping, YOU MUST INSTALL BC'S 1.5 GHZ KERNEL FIRST AND THEN FLASH THESE KERNELS OVER THAT I also just flashed it straight off of a new Mikshift install and I got the bootloop until I did this. So if you guys didn't do this, then install bc's kernel and flash Scary kernel again.
Scaryghoul, I have installed your 1.8 suv successfully on Mikshift. This is great news. I knew it would work, but for some reason I just cant get it running on aosp. I will keep you updated on IRC or through this thread, I haven't seen you on today yet.

Tried going strait from BC's still no go.

Ya, I flashed right over the top of bc's. Ill try these new ones.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Scaryghoul are the reposted links any different than the old kernels you had up the first time? If not, the suv build would boot and run, but after using the phone after awhile for cpu intensive tasks it would lock up and require a battery pull. Im wondering if just a tiny bit more voltage would solve this problem.
On the stable build, it would run a minute or so and always lock up and require a battery pull..

I don't know so much for the freezes, but I believe that the booting has to do with me using my old voltages, and sense handling things differently than aosp >.<
I'll redo the voltage table later.

Just Wondering?
When Source Code is released will you make a suv kernel for the Gingerbread Update i loved it on froyo and mikshift and gave great battery life.

The source code isn't actually the issue right now. Lack of motivation mainly, I would consider it more if I hadn't deleted my toolchain from my dev station, can't be bothered to get another one setup right now.
When I get motivated again I will, I honestly don't use my phone much anymore(maybe pick it up once or twice a day).

[Q] HTC Desire S Daemon Controller Settings Help please!

I am new to all this, first Android phone I have had and first time I have installed custom roms etc... Anyways I installed a new ROM and it has Daemon Controller installed but I don't have a clue how is all works so I want to know what are the best settings to have. Obviously I want better battery life and good performance. Current settings are:
Wake Min: 122000
Wake Max: 1152000
Wake Gov: ondemand
Sleep Min: 122000
Sleep Max: 384000
Sleep Gov: conservative.
My phone has Android 2.3.5 HTC Sense 3.0.
Thank you.

Desire S Q&A
For all of your questions relating to the HTC Desire S
Seeing as you seem to have trouble reading and understanding basic english, this is where this should have been posted.
In seriousness though, use smartass or smartassv2 as it scales the cpu up and down when needed and when the phone demands the extra processing power. Maybe decrease the max wake speed to something around the 1Ghz point.
Google is also your best friend when asking these sort of questions as there is almost about 100+ posts on this throughout the forum.

So would you suggest removing Daemon Controller and using smartass(v2) instead?
I have looked on Google and I found posts regarding other phones not Desire S, but I'm not too sure what I'm looking for.
P.S. Don't think there was any need for 'Seeing as you seem to have trouble reading and understanding basic english, this is where this should have been posted.' But thanks for your advice.

Is there an option to change the on-demand governor in oc controller? Because it should atleast give you a few options.
Also which ROM/Kernel are you using?
Also there was plenty of need for what I said, probably not as sarcastic and blunt as it was put, but it gets the point accross as this is a question thread. Also due to the more aggressive nature of said sentence the point has been reacted to, hence you have spent more than a split second thinking about it, hence next time you post a thread similar your memory may retain and regress on what I've said ;-).
But if you wanted it to be a general thread you could have sneakily read worded what you said, I'm not offering any "tasters" though.

Yes there's a few options: SavagedZen, Scary, virtuous, smartass, interactive, conservative, userspace, ondemand, performance.
Should I presume that the smartass setting is what you meant?
Rom: Saga3D V3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029
Kernal: HYPERION-V1.2.
(If you think there is better ROMS or Kernals I'm open to suggestions, I'm sure I'll be able to find the appropriate thread with instructions how to install etc.)

ROMs:
As for ROMs I would highly recommend Lowveld's Endymion Sense 3.5 Runnymede Port for the HTC Desire S. The ROM is excellent in all aspects, and gives the user exactly what they need for their daily demands. Battery life is excellent, 18 hours 30% remaining. Lowveld, the developer frequently answers questions and is very active in the development of his ROM.
Installation?
If you have 4EXTRecovery (If not I highly recommend either downloading the free recovery control application, which will install it for free, or if you wish to assist the developer, 4EXT Recovery Control it has a lot of additional features and benefits.)
Perform a full wipe; system/data/boot/cache.
Format to EXT4 (If you aren't already).
Flash the zip.
OC Daemon
Virtuous = Smartassv2
I use Virtuous for both wake/sleep and 460800/1075200 min/max frequency. I used to use 245000, but I found occasionally when the phone would wake, it would lag a little on the GUI (but that was me personally, so I increased it from 245000 to 460800, without any real damage to battery life).
More information on the different governors.
RJackson said:
ondemand
Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website
conservative
Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website
performance
Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website
powersave
Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website
userspace
A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website
interactive
The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down
to.

Have you got any recovery installed?

Yes I have.

4EXT recovery? Or clockwork?

I have clockwork.

Still got any ROM running on your phone?

Well I have just recovered to my old rom that came with the phone but I did put [Endymion V2.1|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V1.1|OC|FFC on so can put it back if needs be?

Nah nah all good, just download that recovery control application that I posted in my previous post, you can use that application to easily "upgrade" clockwork mod to the 4EXT Recovery menu, which will add a lot more functionality to your recovery menu.
Wait did you put your stock ROM back on? Is it rooted? If it's not rooted, I think you have to do the previous steps in a rooted ROM like Endymion to ensure that it works properly.

I'll put the custom rom back on then but obviously I'd prefer to do it for free... lol. But I'll buy the control app if I need to?

The one I linked you to is free, there's just an optional paid applicatiob

Yeah thats my problem, how do I use the apk file? This is whats confusing me?

Use something like ES File Explorer to navigate to where the apk is located on your SDCard, then install it that way. Be sure to enable Unknown Sources in Settings > Applications.
gg .. my blanket just raped my phone by tearing off the screen protector -_-"
Actually .. do you know how to use adb at all?

No... Don't even know what that is tbh.

Damn .. just keep following what I'm saying ..

SETCPU in Thunderbolt

I just purchased SETCPU from the market. I know its free here but from what I've read it is well worth 2 bucks (or a lot more).
I'm running bamf 1.0,9 cubed and I verified in setcpu it is set to low of 368 and high of 1 ghz.
I am using stock kernel but thinking of trying adynaline's new kernel.
Anyway should I set a custom profile? Any suggestions on settings? I'm more interested in avoiding screen freeze than speeding up anything.

Profiles are not needed.
They're just usefull if you want to underclock at a certain battery level or temperature to save battery or cool down the device in my opinion.

should be fine.
i had some profiles of:
screen on - min was as low as it could go, max = 1.4ghz -ondemand
screen off - min was as low as it could go, maz = 5xx mhz - batt saver or conservative
battery at 50%, put max at 1ghz- on demand
battery at 15% max was at 7xx mhz -batt saver/conservative
temp>115 max was 7xx mhz-batt saver
this yeilded pretty good battery life. i am a heavy data user in a 4g area and on a sense ROM i could easily get 12 hours. pushed it over a day with me trying to get the best battery life possible.

Sounds good. I'm also a heavy user.

Profiles aren't needed with a lot of kernels. Some have built in profiles and in others some governors include profiles such as smartass and interactivex.
The only thing I really use it for is if I overclock, which I rarely ever do, and to change the governor.

I use SetCPU with imo's latest kernel and I never let it go above the 1.59GHz mark, but that is where I usually put it when charging via AC.

bamf forever already has the ability to set cpu speeds, its in the bamf settings

It says in the op of bamf kernel thread that bamf setting is unable to retain kernel settings so use setcpu.

setcpu help please

I have a thunderbolt recently rooted, uv/oc beater will not work . I read in another post it has to do with ziggy kernel so I have setcpu and I was wondering what would be the best setting so I don't burn my phone up but I would like to see some speed. Thank you for your time.

Try using the cell for sometime without SETCPU
Later try using it with default SETCPU options like , powersaver, ondemand, etc.
If you find any difference, its upto you to decide.
But you will see the difference over time

Just use on demand governor and set the Max to 122400 MHz.

Some processors handle it better than others (mine can go lower than that pretty much across the board but some can't). The worst that happens is that it's unstable and randomly reboots...you aren't going to permanently hurt it by undervolting.
For higher frequencies, it's more down to experimentation. When you get into the overclocking ranges, it gets really individual to the processor.

wow, I thought nobody liked TouchWiz.
My setup:
-Tweaked ROM
-PBJ kernel (NOT using EXT4...it always makes my phone run very sluggishly)
-The SQL cleanup script found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25072-sqlite3-phone-is-snappier-than-ever/ (I really have nothing but anecdotal evidence but I'm overly convinced that this helps)
-Autokiller memory manager app set to the "Strict" preset. imnuts's new kernel (524) makes similar changes to the values that AKM changes, but "Strict" is slightly higher (60/70/80 vice 50/60/70) and I find it to work better for my phone. The next highest setting seems to be working too much to kill things off, which also slows down the device. This seems to be the happy medium for my phone, YMMV.
-Overclocked to 1.2 using Voltage Control. This doesn't seem to effect my regular operations but I do notice a difference with more intense games (which I don't use very often). I can't go higher than 1.2 and my UV settings are more conservative than those listed in this thread.
-ADWex (the paid one) is the smoothest launcher I've used. I kept hearing this for the longest time but my experience with the trial version was the opposite. Turns out, they are totally different. Give it a shot. ADW has some neat features, too.
-Also make sure you go through and debloat as far as you can. For instance, I only use gmail but the stock email app will always run in the background and eat up RAM...so I uninstalled it. Since I don't use things like the TW launcher or the TW calculator (Realcalc is a better, free alternative), they're gone, regardless of whether it makes a difference to my experience. I'm also a FB user and the official FB app will eat RAM in the background regardless of your sync and alert settings. Friendcaster won't, so I use it (disclosure: I only have the app so I can share things like photos. For status updates and browsing I just use the mobile site in the browser). People will argue, especially when the topics of task killers comes up, that Android handles its own memory management great. It largely does, but this phone is very susceptible to bogging down when you get to the upper limits of RAM usage. That's why I believe changing the minfree values in AKM is so important, an improvement that is maximized by getting rid of superfluous RAM eating processes. Obviously, the more crap you have on your homescreen, the more resources it takes to run your homescreen. Do what you're comfortable with.
My phone is running really well for me right now. I hope you can get the same enjoyment out of yours.

Thanks a lot...

BleedsOrangeAndBlue took my recommendation to install sqlite but i actually use different OC/UV settings:
100mhz -200
200mhz -150
400mhz -125
800mhz -100 (i'm underclocked at 800 right now and have no issues besides games)
1000mhz -75
1200mhz -50
also I recommend tweaked2.1 because the included tweaktools script comes with a lot of good kernel tweaks like darkly zip-align and renice which speed up application use
also use an auto cache cleaner with the sqlite cleaner because that lowers lag as well

My setup: 100Mhz -200
200Mhz -100
400Mhz - 75
800Mhz -125
1000Mhz - 50
1200Mhz -50
1300Mhz -25
SetCPU: ondemand, sio, up treshold 97, sampling rate 100000
Profiles: screen off- 100 to 200Mhz at 75
In call - 100 to 1000Mhz at 80
Screen unlocked - 100 to 1300Mhz at 99
This works for me. If I put the 200 or 400Mhz any lower my music player stars skipping. Music player mostly uses the 200 n 400Mhz while video n Netflix uses 800Mhz CPU speeds. Its what I noticed. Also am on Tweeked 2.1 with PBJ 524 n this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684997. On Antutu with this setup my score was 3171 I ran it just b4 I posted this. But my best score was 3404 but I forgot what setup I had for that. Anyway this seems to b fast n smooth so I'll stick wirh it, for a while.

I truly appreciate it, too! It really makes my phone run much smoother and with a widget on my "Utilities" screen for it, I can get back up to speed with one push in less than a minute.
Thanks for the UV settings. I don't underclock, but I do run the conservative governor to stay on lower settings more of the time. I could probably be more aggressive with some of my lower settings, I think I'm going to play around with them now.

This could vary based on your governor settings, too. For instance, if I'm using ondemand, Pandora will use my max clock speed most of the time. If I use conservative, it flickers between 200 and 400.
Just putting that out there so you can further optimize if need-be. I've become a bit of a battery fanatic recently.

Yes that is why I have the sampling rate at 100000. It is my stable setting , but the 80000 also works fine and 60000 I also notice some skips but not as much as with the 40000 setting

It's no longer sluggish. The problem has been solved and it's noticeably faster than non EXT4. You should try it.

do you have a link to the fixed version? I did it with the TonsitPBJ ext4 converter package for tweaked 2.1 and it was awful... not to say that its anyone's fault, this is consistent with every ext4 conversion I've ever done.

I posted a method in rootzwiki http://rootzwiki[dot]com/topic/24729-recommend-conversion-to-ext4/
it is a little tedious but if the method you used did not work well I recommend this method because I had no problems during or after the conversion.
