Setcpu settings?

Hi all
Just purchased set CPU for nexus s.
Was wondering what would be the best settings for my NS?
Thanks

There is no "best settings"
It varies with your setup. Personally when I was using setcpu (using cm7 now so i dont need it). I had it setup w/ stock clocks (1000/100) with smartass governor. That was it. From what I read with smartass governor you don't need additional profiles

Thanks NYYfan,
For your response,
Heeter

I don't have smartass in the available governors...
Only : interactive, conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand and performance.
Which one correspond to smartass?
Where can i found the governors description?
EDIT : Governors description are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843406

Smartass governor is available when you flash a compatible kernel that supports that governor.
Most people (including myself) use Netarchy's 1.3.4 which features the smartass governor. You can google about that governor to find out what its about.

Poll: Which governors do you use the most in your kernels?

I decided to start a thread for governors used in your favorite kernels such as eugene373-kernel or ezekeel-kernel OR steve.garon-kernel OR mathkid95-kernel OR netarchy-kernel OR terryhau-kernel OR morfic-kernel ..... I may be missing a couple but I think these are the most used kernels for our Nexus S devices.
The reason for this poll is to help our devs include/exclude governors not being used at all or the least used! And also to establish what is the most used governor giving a hint to our devs to maybe start hacking them to make them even better.

Lulzactive v2. It gives me a nice control over how it works so I can tweak on my needs.

lulzactive V2

Thanks guys! I just added the options for voting your best governor, if you do not mind please VOTE and also add what IO-scheduler is used as well.

ondemand..
15000 sampling rate, 98 up threshold.

Lulzactive V2 with SIO Scheduler.

This is great!!! Tks for the votes! Let's help our devs with DATA and we help them help us!
BTW, I am using LULZACTIVEV2 - SIO combo as well!

I'd like to use lulzactive v2 but it has too many options to configure and I like it simple so I switched to smartass v2 + sio

This is my favorite configuration as well.

lulzactivev2 is up.... yep it has more options, therefore better to test for more battery savings!
I read good things about new governor eugene373 implemented in his kernel called *scary*.... might try this one later when done testing steve.garon's kernel and lulzactive gov.

Interactive is the best for me. I recall a kernel/rom dev stating that he uses solely interactive as well.

I've been on math kids kernels since 5.0 on ginger bread cfs and smart ass v2 btw. I've tried lag free but it makes my music player stutter when the screen is off. My phone likes speedy kernels too so I switch back and forth

Good ol' ondemand for me.

Lulzactive V2 (I REALLY wish it had a better name!) with SIO. Works best with Matr1x, SG-NS-ICS and ICUP on my NS.
Edit: I think I got a little hasty answering this, Ondemand, by far the one I've used most, considering I used to run Oxygen on my Desire and Thalamus' kernels are phenomenal. So Ondemand for me too.

Ondemand for me.

Ondemand and lulzactivev2 winning the race!
I can confirm sio-lulzactive work nicely with Steve.Garon, eugene373, mathkid95. I had more success with Matr1x kernel with this combo my battery last me 30+ hours of heavy use!

Just did a fresh install of latest Peter Alfonso's ROM and speedy 5 kernel.... I'm testing the scary governor along with noop IO scheduler... so far so good!

[POLL] what cpu governor are you using?

Hi!
I would like to know what governor are you using and why.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

I was a fan of the good ol' "ondemand" governor for a while but a few days back I switched to "lagfree" - I heard of its good reputation somewhere inside the general sub-forum - and I ain't going back lol
p.s., You might wanna add a poll to this thread, it'll help, believe me

Hehehe I'm not sure on the list of governor available that's why I did not put an actual poll here.

My i9023 (Stock 4.0.4 and Matr1x v19 kernel) is currently running with the Lulzactive governor.
I've only had the last week to try a non-stock kernel (Matr1x v18.5), but so far Lulzactive sems to fit my needs well. It's clocked to 100/1200 MHz and everything feels very smooth and it doesn't drain the battery (that's the job of the S-LCD )
I've had good use of this thread which explains the different governors.

1000 Freq lags in ICS ?

Ondemand. I have tried several others (like lulzactive, smartassv2 and wheatley) but keep coming back to ondemand for the best mix of smoothness and battery life while still being stable. Wheatley gave me the best battery life a few Matr1x versions back but felt slow every now and then. Ondemand is good enough and stays stable.

Mmmhhh... maybe recent ROMS have already optimized it to run in that low freq. Before when early ics roms came out I have to over clock my cpu and always set it to performance governor so that it will run smooth.

I decided to give it a whirl myself. I toned down the CPU speed to 800 and the phone is still flying. I've been using it all day and no complaints. I guess now it's a toss up between lionheart and ol' reliable ondemand.

Ondemand and kickassv2 @ 1.2 love um both

Here is hopefully your deal breaker... I raised the min and Max settings to 1000/200 on Lionheart. Not only am I noticing speed improvements, but the battery got better then what it was .

Stempox did a very nice write-up of CPU governors over in Android General ... I thought some of you might find it useful.

Question what governor for KT747 do you think gives best battery life and performance?

Thank you finally I know what those profiles mean other than the obvious performance mode...

i have tried every govenor/ io scheduler combination on different kernels and always end up back on deadline/ondemand.

It really depends on your needs and usage.
I am running KT747, 192 - 2106, custom voltage table, SmartassV2/sio -- Synergy.r71.
SmartassV2 can ramp up very quickly to meet demand and also attempts to ramp down quickly when demand lightens. You get a performance bias when you are interacting with the phone and a powersave bias when you are not.
As schedulers go, I figure simpler is better ... sio, all the way.

[Q] Fallout v5.0

Best Fallout Tweaks OC settings ?

It depends a lot on usage and requirements. I personally was using savagedzen @ 245-1200 awake and conservative @245-768 for sleep, noop scheduler.
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app

I like lulzactive @ 245-1200mhz no governor change while in sleep mode. SIO I/O scheduler.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Awake smartassV2 245 to 1305
Asleep smartassV2 245 to 368
noop scheduler
UV -100
These are very much device and user specific settings as previously stated suiting individual usage
I would suggest that there is no best settings simply what you're personally happy with
Sywepd form my DsereiS

It is not harmful for desire S to work on a different frequency then stock frequence?

is it support usb host in this kernel?

No USB host support sorry. There is a specific driver that is not included in Kernel 3 and the attempt to port it from GB was not successful. If HTC release and update with such support for One V (primo) as they did for One X I will probably manage to include it *when the kernel sources are out*
Too much "if" but the time will tell...

Which is the best for battery life?

I'm also searching for the best settings... best relation between perfomance and battery life.
Maybe you can help finding the best settings.
