What schedular and governor do you use in jellybean? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all
as the topic states what governor and scheduler do you use for jellybean ? What settings? How's the battery life and performance? It seems like jellybean is different in how it uses the CPU compared to ICS
I'm currently using interactive and deadline and I only get 3.5 hour on screen...in ICS I used to get 4 to 5 hours

I've always stuck with ondemand. Suits my needs. I've never seen a dramatic change in battery between the OS upgrade.

When I upgrade to JB these are the settings I'll use for ondemmand. The rest of my settings are in my signature.
Nexus S (GMS i9020a)
Paranoid (1.6 - 4.0.4)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)
Ondemmand (800/200)
Deep Idle (Off - Noop)
Live OC - 100 (400/800)
BLX - 98 (Inverted Apps)

Interactive. Really nice and speedy!

I plan on flashing thalamus' interactive or may wait until the next JB update from Adam . I heard its a actually better in some areas. If its done right, I don't think it would be too bad. Bugless Beast on GB had interactive as its stock governor and battery was great. I've used interactive on some kernels and it was god awful.
Edit: Just flashed. Wow.

i got alot of radio dumps with jelly belly 0.1.4 so i flashed _thalamus' kernel test22 (interactive) and test23
i upgraded to 0.1.5 so far so good

So test 22 is actually better than 24? Got a link for 22?

i even can't change my governor in JB
are you using nstools for set your governor?
after using Jellybean, i dont know why i cant set the governor anymore..
the governor tab is just gray and stuck on my nstools.
i tried in air kernel and thalamus and they behave the same

Thalamus' kernel only has one governor. Try using another application, like SetCPU to change it for Air Kernel.

what do you think guys ? noop . cfq or deadline ?

Deadline or noop are usually suggested for ondemand. Check out this thread for all this and more.

Currently at 15hr 34min on battery with 29% left... only 1hr screen-on time... stock kernel included in cm10 ROM... I have everything turned on 4G, GPS, sync, etc... so to me, this is actually pretty good life... if I turned that stuff off I'm sure life would increase quite a bit...

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

I use the default "schedular" and default governor. I have a hint of an idea what a schedular does, and I roughly know what the governor does and why. That doesn't mean I have to change it. I have flashed quite a few ROMs and tried tweaks like omgwtfphonebooster V200. in 90% of the cases it just wasn't worth the trouble (You get a bit of placebo if you really believe in it but then that's it). So I have a question for you: Do you think you understand more about governors, schedulers and android OS than a proper dev either from google or here on XDA (like thalamus). Just because you can tweak almost every part of the system doesn't mean you have to . It's set to ondemand by default because ondemand does it's job very well.
Don't get me wrong I completely understand what you're doing, I did that myself for the past two years, because I thought yeah I know better than google and I must OC otherwise the phone is crap. I mean it can't run as fast on 1GHz as on 1.2GHz, the second nr. is obviously bigger so it must be better. I mean it's a phone, not a supercomputer or a gaming machine, get a PC for that or a stupid console if you have to.
I find my Nexus S runs very smooth on Stock with thalamus kernel, and it's not a constant rebooter. To be fair I'm not on stock but on CM10 because I'm addicted to voodoo sound + DSP manager, but that's a completely different story and I can actually hear the difference.

I'm actually glad thalamus put the voodoo sound add on to his kernel. That's all I felt was missing from it. And I agree. This phone is fast enough as it is. I understand a little bit about both, but I tend to just leave the scheduler alone since it's beyond my comprehension(for now). I've messed with a few governors here and there, but really don't care anymore. lol. I've just grown tired of it. Ondemand/interactive just work when done properly, as seen in a few kernels. I'd rather have something that doesn't reboot all the damn time than the fastest Nexus S on the block. But that's the glory of Android. Everyone can flash what they want pretty much to their heart's desire.

i notice the difference in changing the scheduler and gov... for example... if i run my phone with interactive (like i am now) i get slightly better battery life than with ondemand... my preference is to run "wheatley" gov since i've ALWAYS seen the best in performance and battery with that gov... but most kernels don't add that in stock form... as for the scheduler... i run "noop" most of the time b/c my phone doesn't seem as stable running "deadline"... i have considerable lag when running deadline vs noop... as for OC'ing, that's sorta up in the air b/c i get great results and smoothness running it at 1000MHz... 1200MHz, i'm still trying to test if i notice a difference but so far its about the same, if not a little worse... i typically run it at 200/1000MHz and that works out wonderfully... 1400MHz is way too unstable for my phone even tho i definitely notice the speed increase!
you can't say that "tuning" our phones to suit our needs is trying to say that we know more than Google or the developers of this stuff b/c that's just false... we're tuning this stuff to OUR needs... they tune stuff for the safe side of things where most people won't have issues... it's just like tuning a car in a sense... manufacturers typically detune their cars to be on the safe/efficient side... take my old Civic Si (2006), i could safely rev it to 9000rpm but the default was set to 8300rpm even tho the parts could handle close to 10,000rpm before running a high risk of breaking... knowing the limits of our phone is the same thing... which is the purpose of this thread i'd assume!

[Q] What is decent Quadrant benchmark score?

I think I had around 1500-1600 on stock 2.3.3. I rooted and installed Netarchy 1.3.0 CFS kernel and it's back up to 2200. I did not overclock.
I did some search on Google and I've seen some going up to 4500 with custom ROM, kernel, and overclock.
I prefer keeping stock ROM, so is overclock pretty much only way to increase benchmark score? How much effect would it have, say if I purchased setCPU app and raised to 1.4 GHz?
Thanks!
I get around 2.700 - 2.800 with netarchy bfs, OCed to 1,4 GHz on stock 2.3.3

So did you purchase setCPU (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking&feature=search_result) and switched to 1400 MHz and it brought your benchmark up to 2800?
How is the battery life with 1.4 GHz? Battery life and stability is what's worrying me the most about overclocking..
Thanks!
Yes I did. But I am not keeping it at 1400 MHz(it was for testing only). Performance is amazing when I have i set to 1200 max 100 min "ondemand" Just did a quadrant, and I got 2100.
Woah! I just killed all tasks running(not setCPU) and I got 3003. I was curious again, and tried when set to 1400. Got 3300.

So I guess it would be very possible to get mine over 3000 with simply overclocking since it's around 2200 without overclocking (only stock 2.3.3 ROM and Netarchy 1.3.0 CFS kernel).
Kind of bit wary about overclocking though because I think this is fast enough.

That's amazing. I plan to keep stock ROM so I think only way I could raise score is by overclocking..
How is the battery life after OC?
When you over clock it drains faster depending on the profiles you have set for screenoff. I have a kernel with the smartass profile built in. I'm running 1.8ghz with no problems but my battery last five hours. And I get 3421 in quadrant

yea, the only way youll raise the score significantly is by overclocking. and if you want to stay on the stock rom, youll have to find an overclocked kernel to flash and use setcpu(or similar) to set the oc.
about battery life, it really depends how you use your phone, even with overclocking. you can have absolutely great battery days, and you could have terrible battery days. i can overclock my phone up to 1.6ghz stably, but usually use a 1.4ghz kernel to oc. obviously, the faster you set it, the more battery itll use. but the difference isnt significant, unless youre oc'ed at 1.6ghz. btw, thats my 4500 in quadrant

Netarchy kernel is overclocked kernel right? I read that it can be OCed to 1.4 GHz. So in that case, I would just need to purchase setCPU app right?

yes. they boot safely at 1ghz. then you set your desired speed. not all phones can handle an oc though. some can only handle 1.2ghz. and some not even that. some have no problems at 1.5 or 1.6ghz. your phone will let you know if its to much.

How do I find out if the phone is durable and stable after OC? Temperature of the phone, or O/S freezing??
My setting now is:
Performance
Max: 1400 MHz
Min: 1000 MHz
SELECT Set on boot
Did I set the settings right?
I got 2700-3000 with the setting above.
But it seems like there is no problem. I did stress test for a bit (stopped because it took long) but there was no error.
And I got little bit over 3200 with stock 2.3.3 ROM, Netarchy 1.3.0 CFS, and OC to 1.4 GHz when I set both Max and Min values to 1400 MHz
I was looking at screen shots from market but how do I set it to go down when temperature is hot?

yea, looks like your doing it right. i always throw out the first 3 quadrants, the 4th or 5th is usually pretty good
btw, dont checkmark the set on boot option. otherwise it wont boot up at a safe speed and could throw you into bootloops.

Is that why my SNS did not boot once? After Google logo displayed, it did not boot (although LED lights were on). I had to take out battery and put it back again.
I think that happened to me twice ever since I rooted. This did not happen prior to rooting.
So I would have to manually change setting on setCPU each time I reboot?
Thanks!
I guess the benchmark score varies after couple tries. I got it up to 3300 after updating to 1.3.0.1 Netarchy kernel.

you were booting if you had your keys lit up. thats just a dark boot without boot animation. that happens sometimes, since android 2.3.3 came out. just be patient, itll boot. theres no harm in it.oh, yea, youll have to change settings manually.

How to Overclock your Sidekick 4G to 1.2GHz! (Stable)

We can now overclock our sidekicks ! First off all you need is root for this to work.
NEED ROOT!
Overclock can be harmful to your hardware.

I shot an email to the dev of an Overclock app called Tegrak Overclock that supports pretty much now every variant of the Galaxy S (II) . I Asked if they'd support our device because of how similar it is to the Galaxy S line. Just a few hours later they replied, letting me know that we had the correct (Hummingbird) Processor and asked a few more questions about our device. By the next morning they sent me an test app and it works perfectly... Allowing us to Overclock to a Stable 1.2GHz!
How it works:
Download the New Updated app from the Market - Tegrak Overclock
When it opens, select Load overclock module. Then it will request root permission, allow it.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then select CPU max frequency to overclock up to 1.3Ghz. In my experience, it seems that the highest stable steps were 1.2Ghz and 1.152Ghz, both stable enough for daily use. Its possible that others devices may be able to handle those frequencies better than mine, but always be careful cause overclocking can be dangerous.
Theres alot more features within the app, if you know what your doing you can change a few more settings to your liking. Theres a paid version of the app that grants even more abilities, one that made me not mind buying it was having overclock persist after reboot.
If your going to try out higher frequencies make sure you dont set those settings on reboot unless you know they are stable for you.
Heres my Ultimate Setup, No Lag or Home screen freezing/loading.
-TouchMIUIwiz ROM 2.0
-Bali Kernel + Ext4 Lagfix
-LauncherPro Plus
-Overclocked @ 1.152GHz - Reaching over 2060 on quadrant
And my battery easily last a whole day, see how your setup works with your overclock.
Have fun overclocking your sidekicks, and many Thanks to the Devs behind Tegrak Overclock !
I tried I this morning and set I to 1.152ghz and did a qurand test and got 1523 on stock KG2.

yes, thanks teddy for making this happen for us. so far I am running max. 1.152 Ghz, with a little UV as well..... I am interested to hear how people are doing with UV, people who bought the ultimate version.
so far I have 800 and 400 Mhz undervolted by 25 mV, and 200 and 100 Mhz undervolted by 50 mV. gonna run this and see how stabilty, speed and battery life are...

Just for clarity--are you getting a boot loop or just a reset when you overclock?
Also, the few devices I've come across fail under an OpenGL stress test--when overclocked. Stock devices are stable.

Does it not support?..
Hey I have a SK4G also, here is my info:
Model number: SGH-T839
Firmware version: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-Platypus_Egg_v1
Build number: GenericGinger 2.0
When i try to load overclock module it states; "Your device or kernel is not available. Do you want to see available models?"
Do you think the developer can fix this?
i question which is better: overclocking or fixing how your phone manages memory. i have had two android devices and tried overclocking on both. while the phone may have been a tad more responsive, moving through windows a bit faster and a few other minor improvements, i didnt notice any real performance increase. however, i recently discovered the v6 supercharger script, and have noticed a huge difference. web pages are loading at least twice as fast and im not on 4g, my home screen doesnt redraw, multitouch has improved greatly, the screen doesnt freeze or lag as much, and my quadrant scores have improved. prior to supercharging, my quadrant score was in the 900's. after supercharging, its in the 1100's. its no 1500, but its a lot better than stock.

[Q] SmartarseV2 vs Ondemand Gaming

I am currently Runing "ondemand' OC'ed at 800/1460, noop/ondemand with the CNA 1.4.0 ROM and Matr1x v17.
Just a question, which would be better for gaming? (smooth/better battery). Basically I ran SmartarseV2 and I feel ondemand is better.
The game I used to test was Shadowgun as this game is a heavy duty/performance heavy game.
Any tips or suggestions?
The matrix kernel offers BFS and CFS. I'm pretty sure its CFS I could be wrong about which one it is but... it is made for things like gaming so I'd go with that version of Matrix. You may want to turn down the Min and Max OC. I can play shadow gun with VERY LITTLE/ mostly NO lag whatsoever with my setup and retain a lot more battery.
Try the Lazy, Intellidemand, and even Lulzactive (if you got the right settings) governors. They'll work better than Ondemmand as they do similar things but.... better and they save more battery.
You'll notice changing that 800 (Min) ---> 100 alone will save mass battery. And you don't really need 1460 GHZ lol . That set up is only used to show off how awesome your phone is for like 10 minutes. Or videos and what not. Maybe go for 1300. If matrix supports it use Live OC to 110. You'll get a speed boost without epicly draining your battery.

I think it's bfs that's more suitable for gaming since it targets resources on the app running in the foreground. Cfs is for multitasking; it evenly distributed resources to all running apps. Cfs tends to be more stable of the two.

The matrix kernel offers BFS and CFS. I'm pretty sure its CFS I could be wrong about which one it is but... it is made for things like gaming so I'd go with that version of Matrix. You may want to turn down the Min and Max OC. I can play shadow gun with VERY LITTLE/ mostly NO lag whatsoever with my setup and retain a lot more battery.
Try the Lazy, Intellidemand, and even Lulzactive (if you got the right settings) governors. They'll work better than Ondemmand as they do similar things but.... better and they save more battery.
You'll notice changing that 800 (Min) ---> 100 alone will save mass battery. And you don't really need 1460 GHZ lol . That set up is only used to show off how awesome your phone is for like 10 minutes. Or videos and what not. Maybe go for 1300. If matrix supports it use Live OC to 110. You'll get a speed boost without epicly draining your battery.

Thanks for that mate, just a question, I am using the Air Kernel now. It seems to be a little more stable then matr1x when it come to live oc. What would be the best settings do you use when you live oc? I am liveoc to 110%. basically running at 220/1100. I have not increased the speed. 2ndly i think I will try lazy for gaming. Heard lazy is good. I see you are using Lionheart. is that only for your stanby time for basic phone usage?
I always use conservative for gaming because my phone runs too hot with any other governor

For gaming I think 110 is good. I use Lion heart for everything. Gaming standby music browsing. And my Live OC is 105. I've tried Lazy 1000/200 with Live OC at 110 (so 1100/220) and got really good results too. But yeah UC Lion heart is working nicely. I'm not sure what governors Air Kernel supports because I haven't used it for more than a few hours. I hear its really good but my voodoo colors don't work on it so I'm holding off

If you want the best gaming performance, then use performance mode (your phone might not be able to stay at 1460 on performance though, you should lower it 1200-1300). Just remember to change it back after you've finished gaming.
If you dont want to do it manually, you could set up a tasker profile to automatically change the governor to performance and back to normal, when opening and closing your games.

I think Lazy is not that good for gaming. Lazy is meant to be more battery saving than Ondemand, at the cost of little performance.
I don't play heavy games that much, and I'm just using Conservative, good for me.

CyberGR v12+ what kernel for battlife?

Hey dudes. I'm going to Poland on tuesday with my class, and now I'm worried about how long my batterylife will be.. I'm currently using Matr1x v19.5 and batterylife is good, but I want even better. So my question is, what kernel do you use with CyberGR to get maximun batterylife? I won't be able to charge my phone for almost 2 days... And I don't care about the performance, just batterylife. And I think I'll use my phone "medium much". Tell me your scheduler and governor tweaks and all that.
Thanks!

I think governors and setting are overrated a bit in terms of battery life. It really comes down to your usage and the apps you have.
try this setup on your matr1x19.5
(supercharger v6)
max-400
min-200
gov-smartassv2
sched-noop
if you dont want supercharger
max-800
min-400
gov-same
sched-same
dont forget to make recovery backup if you were flashing supercharger.

I'm currently using it, but I have a strange batterylife, yester day I had 4hrs on screen, and today almost 2,5hrs on screen. So wierd
Sent from a sandwich using my Nexus S
you definitely dont need supercharger v6 to have good battery life it doesnt play nice with all setups and its more centered around performance than battery life. And certain governors will make your cpu jump to the max more quickly and hold it there for longer before letting it go back down, so the wrong governor can definitely affect battery life. if your not using the phone that much turn off data, just add the toggle to your notifications to make it easier, (i imagine your rom supports that). if you cant afford to have data all the way off then turn off background syncing facebook ,gmail, music, books etc. matr1x 19.5 cfs on lazy or conservative governors give me decent battery life and good performance for simple tasks i use SIO or Noop schedulers. try increasing the sampling rate on the governor so that it polls less often. also increase the up threshold so that it wont ramp up the cpu until it really needs it like 85 or 90% at least (or higher if you want). read this if you havent already and play with the scripts for better battery that go with each governor. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

well im just trying to make an a option to use or not to use the supercharger.. basically supercharger is a performance but i think of a trick if its performance im trying to underclock and uc is a way of battery lufe improvement.. supercharger is not recomended to you bcoz you dont know what is it im sorry to say that make an research of it try to figure out what is that and youll find a answer on your own if you will flash it or not.. i apreciate the thank..
well if you don't use it too much, the battery may be able to stand 2 days of medium use.
smartassv2 + sio + deepIdle, limiting freq. 100MHz ~ 800 MHz, turn off mobile data & wifi.
It should be able to last a long time.
TEUV gives a great battery as well as performance.

What is 'overclocking' ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Overclocking means to raise the frequency of you processor (CPU) beyond a certain limit, mostly set by the manufacturer for safety and battery life purposes. You can avoid this by installing a kernel on your device, which supports overclocking. After-all, proper overclocking will give you more performance in the general user interface and more frames per second (fps) in games. But you have to be aware that overclocking might also have impact on your battery life. In most cases, overclocking by a few hundred MHZ is not dangerous. But if overclocked too high, your device might become unresponsible and act weird.
Fine, but what does 'GPU overclocking' mean then?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
GPU overclocking is basically the same as overclocking your processor unit, but this time we don't want to raise the cpu clock speeds, but the clock speedings and performance of your graphics processing unit (GPU). Other than the processor overclocking, this feature is not user-scalable in my kernel. I have raised 3D clocks to a higher, fixed level which I feel is the best for a balanced experience between gaming, video performance, general ui-responsiveness and battery life.
You talk about 'governors' all the time. What's this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Governors decide on how the power resources of your cpu are divided on the tasks it receives. For example, some governors pay more attention to offer the highest performance level when needed, while others concentrate on a balanced experience between power and battery life. In addition, a governor decides on how fast you cpu clocks are ramped up and down, thus affecting the battery life again.
Ok, I got that. But what the hell are those 'schedulers' you mentioned?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Schedulers decide on how the incoming workload is split and handled, for example some schedulers will pay more attention to background process and super-stability of your system, while others try to achieve the best user-experience, spending and using more power on the foreground-processes that are visible and user-affected.
Last but not least, what's the matter with that 'zRam' thingy?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
zRam is an improved version of a feature in the staging driver in the linux kernel, earlier known as compcache. zRam increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive. Since using RAM is faster than using disks, zRam allows Linux to make more use of RAM when swapping/paging is required, especially on older computers with less RAM installed. Along with virtual page allocation for our RAM modules, it affects the workload of the system in a lot of ways.
one last for developer tutorials etc
Running great with latest PA. Thanks.

It might be useful to elaborate on how it depends, and how one can find out if it applies or not. Seems a hell of a lot more useful to me than all that rambling about overclocking and governors. I mean, a post explaining "what is overclocking", in a dev-thread???

I'm also not sure if this means that it is useful for CM10 ROMs which use lid patch or to those which doesn't.

very good work rayman!i use my tf very rarely,but with liquid and this kernel things goes quite good!i like some of the coice you do,the only one i miss is bfq v5 in schedulers (i use it on all my devices and it's really good.)governors instead are optimal,i'll go with intellidemand from faux.thanks!
Pretty smooth, however, had a screen freeze and a SOD shortly after
Was using TeamEOS build 81 with 1.4 Ghz OC with smartassV2 and noop
Never had screen freeze with the stock kernel, did have some SOD though.
Could that be due to the GPU overclock? Could you provide a version without GPU OC?
Thanks!

So far.. running at 1.6 Ghz (smartassv2 / noop) and playing 'Need For Speed Most Wanted' it's as smooth as silk. No stuttering, no crashing - nothing but butter. Will update if something starting happening, but that's the fastest, most graphic intensive game I have right now, so I can't see anything else having an issue.
I flashed from timduru's KatKernel and feel RaymanFX's has bumped the performance of my tablet with this kernel, though the extra overclocking his kernels seem comfortable with probably have a part to play.
I should note, 1.6 Ghz is right on the edge of what the TF101 can do. Saner minds should set yourself at 1.5 (and I'll probably drop back myself).
Tried on TF101 - no Wifi
Thanks for this kernel.
It installed without error on my TF101 using Revolver 4.2.1.
After boot, Wifi was no showing on the notification area, and I could not enable it.
I saw the earlier post about this issue, but it seemed to me that a newer version correcting the Wifi had been uploaded.
Do you have any suggestions?
