which governor works best for you? - Thunderbolt General

i wasnt really satisfied with the stock eternity oc daemon (i like having more control) so im just going to comment out the lines that activate it in the performance optimizer thing in init.d, and then will toss in the speedtweaker script from the lean kernel instead right now im thinking of either using smartassV2 or interactiveX(would need to flash that one in) so not too sure what i will use yet. what do you guys generally go for when it comes to governors?

I like inteactive x. Although im not sure its that much better, but seems to give me the best batt life.

Officially Overclocked

Snagged Drod's 1.5gz kernel from ROM Manager and pulled a 2495 on quadrant and 53mflops on Linpack :]

I saw this as well (although I'll probably stick with adryn's kernel for now). The future is certainly looking bright for the tbolt.

It's nice. It doesn't have the interactive/smartass governors so I'm definitely sticking with Adrynalyne's kernel. The conservative kernel is just too slow to ramp up (probably due to the huge number of slots) and I'd be worried that ondemand would keep it running at full speed too much and drain my battery.
im not exactly concerned about battery life, ill take the kickass performance thank you very much. no seriously, thank you very much drod!
If your so worried about battery. Use Setcpu profiles with overcook kernal.

Droid Overclock [Pretty Sweet App]

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

SetCPU noob

My friend tells me that on demand is the best setting for setCPU, but I keep reading that smart ass 2 is the best.
What do you guys suggest?
I am using cm7 stable with the Tiamat Kernel.

I use smartass for wake and powersave for screen off.

LOL two completely opposite opinions.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I use conservative and I see no difference from On Demand except when my phone wakes from the screen being off for a good while.
Edit: It's probably because I use powersave while it's off, so it'd probably be a bit better if I changed the governor while the screen with off, but it's fine for me.

I just use on demand but I'm not overclocking or underclocking. I'm just using it as a battery saver, with profiles set up for different things. Gained me an extra 6 hrs almost of battery so I'm pretty content with it.

On demand isn't even an option. I just went with smart ass until someone tells me something different.
Shoot I thought I was supposed to use smart ass 2. I didn't see that option either.

You want to use smartass. Its another version of interactive. Smartass will auto underclock to 245mhz with screen off as well.

Ondemand is good for performance but it won't help your battery life like smartass will.

CM questions.

Well I'll start with what I think I'd think to be easy and i'm just not seeing it. OC daemon for aosp. I've seen it built in, but how to add to already installed ROM? Now another question. Even with pinky undervolt and the radio that I was recommended for the ROM blackice, I'm getting horrible better life
compared to when I had sense 3. Any idea on that? Thanks to any help someone can throw out.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
For the OC Daemon, I would try searching the forums for a thread dedicated to it. If they have an installable .apk for it, you would simply download that and install like any other app. If its a system app, you would have to mount /system with say ES file explorer, copy it to /system/app and then assign the proper permissions.
My questions is if there is a way to confirm that undervolts are being applied. In the blackice thread some people were saying the included tool might not be applying them correctly. Thought id make a few posts here though so I could post in the actual thread lol.

OC/UV Beater will show you what your voltages are currently set to:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're referring to the OC daemon in ARHD I think that's written for his CPU scheduler. If you're on AOSP I would recommend SetCPU
Well with the OC daemon question, I have seen people build it into cm based roms. So I was just thinking, if they can do it that way, why not in a preinstalled ROM.

Thanks for the suggestion. After I asked I found out systune included in the rom showed the values and they are being applied.
Correct if I'm wrong but setcpu will anything that ocdaemon can do. I would just use that or choose a rom with it cooked in.
Setcpu just follows governors. the OC daemon uses governors but also has set clock and governor for screen off and on, therefore, saving battery life. Also better performance.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Setcou does all that and more. You can get it for free on these forums. It has way more than screen off profile. It has batt. Temp charging. batt Level profilr and more

Setcpu has always made my battery life horrid. The oc daemon has assisted me in achieving 2 days battery life with average to heavy usage.

so far... the best tweak was the disabling the sleepers... i did do the Internet tweaks... i got some of the best speed test results yet since I had the phone... but the Internet ping was short... so it may be because I was extremely close to a server...and my 4G at home is ok but not a clean 4g...so that test is not reliable... i would say it's a user preference

Best CPU Governor Tweaks?
Just curious to know what CPU Governor Tweaks are working best for people? Also, should the hardware acceleration and force gpu rendering options both be kept on together at all times for best results?

I use Tweaked 3.1 as my rom and it has always been best using ondemand for the governor... some people have used smartass when over clocking (tegrak is the only one so far reported to actually work to over clock our stock kernel) but this governor setting is not as good for battery consumption...so far I have only tested on demand(which I think is in dslices build of tweaked) some of these settings are new that I have not even heard of till this pimp my rom came out... One that comes to mind is the brazillion... the hardware excelleration I turned on but I left the force gpu settings off(I never tried it) because in the description it said it increased ram usage and the driod charge as one of its main complaints is lack of ram... these tweaks are so easy you can play and remove them as needed... that's what makes them great... it's you phone and you can make it like you like it...and if something really makes you happy... share it... please!... lol
