[Q] Best Governor for Gaming? - General Questions and Answers

I know this is kinda vague because of the amount devices with various governors.
Its just I want the best performance for gaming and would like some advice since I don't actually concern myself with governors often. To specify the list I currently have these -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now its currently on performance as I think this might be best for gaming although I could be 100% wrong.
Does overclocking or underclocking affect the overall games?
I'm mainly using Emulators, at times they seem to drop fps for seconds other times the game seems to just run slow. I know a concern is I'm running ICS.
I'm on a almost 3 year old device but one that has made a legacy - Droid Incredible.
Any advice?

You're right, the performance governor should give you the best gaming experience, for more detailed information on governorns, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
If you are still dissatisfied with the performance of your phone, there might be an option where you can choose the max. cpu frequency, and by giving it a bigger value, you can overclock your phone. But be advised that this can damage your phone, and you might run into some warranty issues if you do that. So be warned, and do it for your own responsibility. I'm not responsible to any damage it does to your phone. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, helped greatly.
I already knew about Max/min values
I was just curious if they affected game performance, either way this helped a lot.

A small patch ro enable 520MHz option in Device Speed (for WWE_O4/R1)

This option will enable PXA272 run at 520 MHz,by default it is not shown.
I advice user only set to 520 MHz while you want to play big movies,in normal plz keep it 416MHz.
DON'T run at 520MHz normal time.

Only available since O4
I want to notice every one, the main reason why it hidden by default.
YOU ARE USING IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I was using it about 10 hours without problems, but on your device it may cause problems.
Maybe it can cause unstability, system hangs or you can damage your CPU. It's on your own risk! Remember this.

THX for big brother's great work! i am just Courious about the theory behind this amazing over-clocking of PXA272. how can it be possible? do we really have the 520mhz power provided by PXA272? If it's true that would be awesome!
I advice user only set to 520 MHz while you want to play H264 movies,that will make it faster,in normal plz keep it 416MHz.
DON'T run at 520MHz normal time.

520MHz is the top speed which designed for PXA272,and for PXA270 is 624MHz

原来这样撒,我以前隐约听到818上的cpu是锁频的,也记不清楚了.技术细节就不追究了.反正那位俄国老大实在是不错,很强大,小金也为818机油们也做了不少好事!
辛苦了!!!
刚查了下PXA272的数据:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a272&c=intel_xscale_pxa272
说272的推荐最大时钟频率也是624MHz
wikipedia上的PXA272是520MHz

Is the system ROM supposed to be almost filled to capacity like that??
I'm rooted, stock running ADW Launcher Pro, flashed CWM community kernel, (voodoo lagfix), all AT&T Bloatware frozen, and phone is running good, Quadrant (for what its worth) is averaging the normal 1700, but battery life is not so good.... Can get all day use if i'm at work, but if i'm playing with it constantly battery life no more than 4 hrs or so....If thats avg then thats ok, but i think i was getting a lot better BEFORE i "voodoo'ed" : )
Don't want to flash any ROM if i can help it - so many different builds/versions/tar/pit/ i'd rather just leave it the way it is UNLESS anyone can point me towards a STOCK ROM that requires little or no "thinking"...lol
I have 3x extra batteries so i guess its not a HUGE deal, but i like to conserve wasted energy when i can... Also does Juice Defender really HELP? All those settings completely befuddle me, i prolly wind up using MORE cuz i'm like "nooooo, i need that, and that and that and that, don't limit that, omg i can't live without THAT!!!".... lol
thanx y'all,
Ms D
I have a little more left than you. Dont know if its normal though.
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. Seriously I'm not a developer. DlevROM Yo!
I have a little more than BigFau but not much, "27.5". Besides, this is just the space that the Rom is occupying it doesnt affect the internal sd or external sd from my understanding.
It's normal.....especially if you are mostly stock which you are.....and while you may have bloatware frozen, it is still installed.......ans yes voodoo being enabled takes IP a little more .....that is merely the storage capacity for ROMs or your phone operating system....
A stripped down aosp ROM like mine as you can see will have more space left ....

ROM Toolbox Pro CPU Control Not Working?

Hey all,
Any ideas why ROM Toolbox Pro's CPU Control center would not be working on this device? I am running ASUS stock JB ROM, unlocked and rooted with NvFlash access. I have never seen this issue before, even on my TF101. See attached screenshot for what I am talking about.

Not only do the sliders and Governor return to this state after setting and returning (attempting to set the max to 1700 [I know there's not much of a purpose, but you will see why in a second] and the Governor to performance), the max GHz seems to be maxed out at 1500 which is very odd.
I tried looking for a kernel that supported overclocking but didn't find any, anyone know if I am just flat out missing something?

I have tried a few CPU control apps and most of them are not working too well with JB on tf700. The only one I found that works is SetCPU, it recorded my max/ min and governor perfectly. (1700max and 50min), both settings are working well. Currently, there is no kernel that supported Over clocking.

[Guide][23/1/2020] Definitive solution for low SOT after android 10 update.

Here is the definitive solution for those suffering from low SOT and battery drain after updating to Android 10
a) 30 min video playback on mxplayer (720p movie)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
b)20 min web browsing on chrome (news articles and embedded media playback)
c)20 min web browsing on Opera mini(scrolling through forum)
So the real culprit for low SOT is poorly optimised/developed app (in my case opera mini)
--Conclusion--
1)Android 10.3.0 kernel does have reduced 'target load' (hope it might get restored to stock 90% in 10.3.1){as evidenced by checking kernel perameters and behaviour along with terminal emulator for ram usage_under root}
2)Some apps are getting released unoptimized for Android 10,they are exploiting poorly designed or rather I would say performance tuned kernels and are draining battery.
3)Battery optimization of OnePlus software won't work for such an app coz whenever it runs,either in foreground or background it will drain battery
--Solution--
1)Install an app which shows cpu states {the one I used is Ex kernel manager,it's a paid app and i use it to tweak kernel whenever i decide to root my phone,but there are free apps on playstore that offer battery stats functionality for free,download one and make sure the stats shown are that of Gold(big cluster) 825Mhz - 2803Mhz and not Silver(little cluster)}
2)Run the apps you regularly use one after another for atleast 20 min and check cpu stats before and after.
3)You will find app making cpu to run at 2.8Ghz,stop using it and find an alternative,if you can't avoid using it then hope either the app's or oneplus's next update fixes it.
Agreed, as we discussed in another thread. Since then i've seen multiple people talk about the stock kernel shooting up to high frequencies way too fast.
Wouldn't reducing the target load via EX Kernel Manager be possible ? I don't remember if the stock kernel exposes these settings in the app.

Question Adaptive Battery performance

While Pixel phones are generally known for creating little interfearance with app perfoamance, in terms of things like managing battery life, I noticed a rather vague option where the OS will improve your phones's battery life by doing things probabbly like sleeping and or ricksting background usage for unused apps and the like.
From what I understand the 7 isn;t the first phone to have this feature as I saw people talking about it ont he 6 series too, though what I was manily wondering is for people who have this turned on or have used it int he past, if they have noticed any issues with some of their apps, such as missed notifactions?
I turned mine off more as a just in case, as comming from Samsung previpously who is nortiorus for being very heavy handed when it comes to their battery savng measures, I'm just wondering how much impact this option has (if any at all), so if it might need to start being listed as a potential problem to check in places such as don't kill my app, or if Google somehow manages to make it a lot less intrusive?
I haven't been able to find any technical infomation on what excatly the feature does to trey and determine just how invavse it might be.

I've never turned it off since it got introduced. No issues at all. It's supposed to learn how you use your phone, so I'd imagine you shouldn't have missed notifications. And if that's the reason my 7 Pro gets it's 8-10+ hours of SoT, I'd keep on using it.
Never turned off and I think that MUST stay on, because the battery life is really good.
Without it would certainly not be so good.
I am using the way adaptive charging tuned off and adaptive battery tuned on
