Noop is a simple scheduler, first in first out with request merging.
Row is read over write or it focuses more on reading than writing.
**Two seconds of a Google search or reading up on the forums will answer most questions**

[REF] governors & schedulers

I read some questions about governors and schedulers.
Because I was also interested in it, I made some research and found this two threads I want to share with you.
[REF][&Tweaks] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers & CPU Tweaks: Siyah & Others
[REF] Quasar kernel governors and I/O schedulers manual
For my opinion they are pretty detailed, hope you enjoy it
Thank you so much! I was looking for some post like those to understand how governors actually work! Great job

Tweaks,apps,vocabulary,etc... How to's all in one !?!

There's thousand of post regarding all of those but millions of links and getting lost easily. Is there somewhere where I can find one link,place or page where I can find them all in one ?
Ex: Bln-------Link for Bln only
NsTools------Link for NsTools
Vocabulary-------Links for them
How to's--------Links for them
When I say vocabulary I mean what Deep Idle,and meaning of what the words means.
Thanks
Just use google... took me 15 minutes of putting in effort to learn.

[Q] Governors for n00bs?

I saw this thread today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452478
And am interested in how governors work and and what they can do for my phone. Would anyone like to offer a simple explanation for myself and fellow n00bs who might not know what its all about?
I probably should have UTFSE

It's got to be wortha little look at my thread...
For kernel benchmarks and more, see here: my thread
there is no such thing as simple explanation, only thing you have to do is read that thread over and over and over ... then you will know

Governer.... which one to use

I find myself struggling to figure out which governer to use? which one does what? which is better for battery life? is there a thread with all this info?
Ive listed some of the options below.
lulzactiveq
hotplug
ondemandx
lulzactive
Your help is much appreciated.
It's going to be up to you. Every phone is made a bit different, hence why under voting is touchy because some chips can't handle it.
I would suggest trying all the ones you would like to and comparing your experiences.
Some of the new governors will shut down one CPU core when the phone doesn't need it like when the screen is off.
I will try to find some of the helpful links floating around here on our new governors and such

I realized this thread is in development, it will have to be moved but I could only find this at the moment.

My setup is:
Paranoid-Android v12 OS 2.54
CPU speed is 192 min 1080 max
Governor is: ondemandX
I/O scheduler is:SIO and here are some screen shots of a 1900mah Anker. The stats on JB are a nightmare and a reboot allows for a gain of battery so my graph looks weird. Also I don't think I had any voice calls that day so mostly just SMS Google talk and games

Thank you both for speedy responses. If enough useful info is gathered I will put together a "useful thread" on governers to help others out.

No need. This one is more than sufficient.

Also, take all settings advice from others with a grain of salt. Even those with the same device. All CPUs are different and can prefer different set-ups.
Moved and the thread quoted above was what was about to post.

About governors and schedulers

As more and more kernels are made available to the public, the more the governors and schedulers... Although I can find info on some of them, there are many others which I know nothing about... I have tried searching and thats how I learned about some of the governors but about the rest? Can someone help me?
