[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.

@Lar5 thanks for the link. I've been looking for something like this for quite sometime.

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 .

Umm any A15s that's for sure, whether it be OMAP or Krait

As stated a a15 and a next gen gpu.
Preferably the one that is most power efficient.

Something from Intel. I'm anxious to see how Android handles an architecture other than ARM.

I want it to be a 32 core processor.

The average user can't even stress a quad core chip in a desktop.
Key is how fast it is clock for clock. How high it is clocked. And its efficiency.
Quad core CPU is useless on a phone.

I'm not worried about what processor is in the next Nexus phone as much as how good the battery is. My NS4G hardly lasts till I get home with light use before I get the low battery warning. Its better than it was since the ICS update but still nothing like my iPhone was.

Well what soc ( processor) you have does play a decent sized role in your battery life.

Let's have... APQ8064 (Quad Core Krait)!
Okay, A15 dual core is enough.
MSM8960T (Dual Core Krait + Adreno 320) is also ok.

I think your phone would be able to fly as well in the time that a phone will have 32 cores!!

Android's HAL is created specifically for OMAP. ICS is optimized for OMAP, so I can say with confidence that the next Nexus on JB will be using OMAP as in the gnex

1st choice: S4 Pro
2nd choice: Omap 5

Id like a revamped Nexus S with SGS3 quad core specs but no physical change as i love the look and size of my Nexus S..It'll never happen but basically a Nexus S with a (Exynos 4212 Quad + Mali-400MP Gpu)

S4 Pro with 2GB ram.

Offline Voice Typing?

So my Nexus S upgraded to 4.1.1 this morning via OTA. JB is good and all, but I can't seem to find/enable the option for Offline Voice Typing?
Was it cut by Google? (just like Face Unlock) or its just me?
Btw, my language and inputs are all in English (US)

It is not in the ota. The reason? Don't know. I posted a thread yesterday in general that got locked my mod that has some screen shots of the voice settings on the nexus s / the 7 and the Xoom.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to have to game run better. I'm using the official JB OTA and Air kernel r1. Any help would really be appreciated.

don't use air, its not very game friendly, also try over clocking. clear ram before starting the game, especially background services, like facebook and things. force stop the app if necessary.

Go Home -> Settings - Manage Apps -> Running, then note down each app that is running.
Then go into the "All" tab, find those apps, and click on Force Close.
Then start Dead Trigger, it ran super smooth on my stock JB after I did the above.

I'm using matrix and FCing apps and it seems to be running better. Before it kept lagging at random moments.
