[Q] Governor and Clocking

Whenever I use the built-in Processor manager in CM9 (our CM9) and whenever I change the maximum MHz or the governor everything is fine. However when I'm using some apps such as browser it will soft boot in some times, not rarely but occasionally.
Is this normal? If it is then is SetCPU for Root Users worth buying to use for our phone (it looks very neat and has profiles too!)? If it is not then how will I manage my problem?

Would you point me to the "Processor manager" you are talking about? I didn't know CM9 had one!
Which build of CM9? Have you installed any other kernels or tweaks?
It is not normal in my experience with Team Acid / Hefe Kernel to have unexpected reboots.
What are you trying to manage with the app and when? That may impact the choice.
I use System Tuner (Pro) and find it does what I need. Then again, I don't change settings once I've got a kernel dialed in.

In "Settings" under "Performance", then go to "Processor". Once there you will see some settings pertaining to the processor.
Build R8, no tweaks or custom kernels.

So will SetCpu for root users app work for our phone?

It did for GB. Haven't tried it on ICS. Jeff mentioned System Tuner above and I couldn't agree with him more. It's the only app I use for setting OC/UV as well as I/O schedulers. Try the free version first. It does everything though. SO if you like it kick down for the paid version.

I have used setCPU since I bought it way back when. It works. Jeff's the man though I might have to switch just because lol.

Cedric's the man -- the author of System Tuner Pro. His support has been beyond expectations. I'm very picky about what I pay cash for. His pride in his products and quick, intelligent responses has more than earned the relatively small price that he asks for his "Pro" versions. Past that, he doesn't overly "cripple" his ad-supported versions.
I've never tried SetCPU, but I know many people have had great success with it.
Many of the "tweaks" are governor-specific. Most "reasonable" programs work through the exposed "sysfs" entries that allow one to read/set parameters of the kernel. In this case, the governor, governor parameters, and the voltage table.

I actually experience the same problem with the soft reboots after switching to CM9

So the answer is yes, set cpu will work for our ice cream sandwich phone?
Cause I will buy it now.

Seems to be working fine... For now, when I first tried to set clock settings at:
Min: 200 MHz
Max: 1200 MHz
Governor: SmartAssV2
I/O Scheduler: Deadline (Jeff what scheduler do you suggest? Or is Deadline fine?)
After these settings were put in effect, I went back to the home screen, the screen froze with a weird effect. I had to do a battery pull, rebooted phone and tried to reapply settings again. It worked and I'm going to report back if weird stuff happens.

I've stayed out of the scheduler fray as much as I can. From what I have read, there is a very significant difference between them when you have spinning disks. I've also read that the ones that work well for spinning disks aren't so good for flash media. I've heard that there is a new one in the works for mainline Linux (FIOPS), but it is far from production quality. Not clear how any of them interact with Samsung's umm, well, "unique" approach to managing flash -- we're neither an SSD nor a raw card for internal memory. I switch between deadline and noop with the phase of the moon, and haven't personally noticed an astounding difference between them. I couldn't tell you what I have set right now.

[Kernel]A701 JB 4.1.1 CPU/GPU UV [22-11-13]

TrollSlayer version 3 Kernel​
Ok folks, got a kernel for our A701 stock JB 4.1.1 and Evil Alex Purgatory
This is NOT for CM/AOKP/PA/ etc builds.
Keep in mind, I am not a kernel developer, and this is my first attempt. So it's pretty basic right now. I've been running it for a couple weeks, and it seems to be pretty stable.
First of all Credits and Thanks @civato - For being a wealth of info and a good Mate @sgt. meow - Govs & Schedulers and all his help @scrosler - For Help in compiling @faux123 - Dynamic Fsync & UV @verboth - Original Speedo Fake
The Kernel
Based on Acer JB 4.1.1 source
Compiled with Google toolchain
Features
CPU OC to 1500Mhz (on by default)
GPU OC to 520Mhz (on by default)
CPU UV tables
Dynamic fsync control (on by default)
Governors
lulzactive
lagfree
smartass2
pegasusq
Schedulers
row
sio
Gaming fix by faux123
RNDIS (not tested)
Cifs support
NTFS support currently via Stickmount app.
Dynamic fsync via Trickster app. I advise Trickster for settings.
Known issues:
OC apps not correctly reporting 1500Mhz on "ramp-up", but benchmarks report normal OC.
UV: I advise dropping voltage by 50mv at first, then by 25mv until you find the best voltage for your CPU.
Install: Flash through CWM. No need to do wipes, the install will do it.
Download Version 3
Alternate Download

Changelog
22/11/2013- Version 3 initial release
Notes
Dynamic Fsync
This is a goodie by faux123, so all credits go to him for creating this unique feature !
Many kernels just disable synchronous writes to file to speed up system. While this works neatly, it is also dangerous as processes believe that file writes are actually sync'ed to disk (or mmc media in our case) while this is not yet true !
The gain is a noticably smoother user experience, but the risk of doing so is to have a corrupted filesystem if the device crashes, user pulls battery, battery fully depleats ... so that the device is turned off unexpectedly.
To allow for the benefit, but to minimize the risk, faux123 created dynamic fsync, which while the screen is on, will defer file sync temporarily, but when screen gets turned off, a flush is called to synchronize all outstanding writes keeping your data safe.
Now it's up to you to either use this unique feature, at default it is enabled = Better performance
If you turn it off = writes will be done synchronously, which is safer but also slower..

Things to do for next version
Fix NTFS issue - probably fuse/ or Acer may have left debug code

Good to see a (new) kernel for A701. But does this also work on A700 as well?
And a lil off topic: can anyone suggest me a good app to manage cpu/gpu?

Installed and.. awesome! :good:

Sweet. Someone try it on the 700! I won't get the chance on mine until tomorrow!

Trickster Mod seems to work well for me. If you're not going to turn off fsync, then you can use SetCpu. Trickster is a strange interface, and sometimes I forget to save my settings.
As with working on the A700, it might. Don't have a 700 so really can't tell you.

Flashed it just now and works really well. Feels snappier :good:

Considering Purgatory runs fine on the 700, I would say it "might" run on stock 700. But I see you are running Iconian. Vorbeth isn't around anymore, for a long time, but looking as his git, I saw he was using some CM code, which tells me Iconian may be a "hybrid" rom. If you get boot-loop, probably just flash his kernel package.

Actually never got around to changing my signature. Been running your E.A.P for most of a month now. I'll try the kernel over the weekend.

Will look at the defconfigs and see if I can turn off the annoying "no sim card" function as it seems a few people use EAP on the 700. Would mean a new kernel build though.

Thanks Mate! You helped!
But got an issue that has happened to every Acer kernel source since the A500 days. NTFS breaks every time a kernel compiles using Acer source. Options for NTFS file system set to yes, or module in defconfig. Doesn't matter. When compiled, NTFS drives won't mount. Only option is Stick Mount. Stock kernels from Acer are fine.
On the Sammy forums, there was some info about the same issue (similar). Sammy's dev team reply was they left several DEBUG options on in defconfig. You ever heard of that? I've noticed a couple of the same are still set in the picasso_mf_defconfig.

If you can flash the stock kernel and grab the config.gz from /proc/ (I know you've probably tried this) try comparing both configs(the one in the stock kernel with the one you use).

Good idea and thanks! This will allow to see what configuration Acer uses when "they" compile.(actually forgot about proc/config.gz) must be getting old........

Thanks, I'll definitely try this on my a700. Will report back over a couple of days.
First I've to wait for my third charger

Hi,
I test the kernel for several days on my A700. In everyday life, there is no problem.
But when I play a video with the BSPlayer via HDMI to the TV, there is strong interference. It formed in intervals disorders.
The image is displayed in many thin horizontal stripes and it comes to short interruptions, the tone shifted more and more.
To continue to use the tablet helps, just restart. It seems to be due to the overclocking of the GPU.
With the stock kernel from your Rom is everything OK again.
I hope you understand what I mean and it helps in the development.
best regards

[Q] best kernel for 4.4.2?

Just wondering in everybody else's experience which kernel they find to be the best as far as battery life and performance goes. I've only seen 3 kernels for 4.4.2 being leankernel dkp (I believe that's the name of it) and ktweaker. Also what settings you found to be the best for you (governors, undervolting settings, overclocking settings, Etc.) I do a lot of facebooking but that's about it. So I guess let the discussion begin? I'm running the latest update of cm11.

Kernel are fone depended. Wat works for some ppl might not work for othets. Try them all out let them run couple days then u can decide which is better for you.
BMS and KT747 also have 4.4 versions

Best is subjective. Here's my subjective approach, so caveat emptor, take what I say as personal belief and not a professional benchmark testing...
For AOSP-based roms, here's what my experience is:
Lean: Easiest and simplest of the kernels. Has limited governors, but the tweaked InteractiveX is pretty effective at doing what you need. It also has a crapton of S3 specific tweaks to improve battery life. You can overclock to 1.72 (I believe...) Downside? The min frequencies are 384k, which means other kernels can go into a deeper sleep. The TCP algorythms are limited too, so choose 'reno'.
DKP: I love this kernel, but several people report it doesn't work for them. This kernel has a ton of governors, with 'freelunch' and 'asswax' being the best. There are also a lot of TCP algorythms (choose 'yeah' for best performance). You can overclock to something ridiculous like 2.1... but I keep it at 1.62; there's also deep sleep frequencies down to 54k (yes... 54000), but I tend to stay at108k. The downside? Some people can't get this kernel to work on their device and it doesn't have some of the battery saving tweaks Lean does.
KT: This is kind of the 'go to' for many people, because it has a standalone app that flashes in the process and the dev is pretty active with the S3 version here. Many of the same features of the previous two, but different governors and nothing that's a device-specific tweak; the kernel is developed for multiple devices.
BMS: This, to me, is a similar kernel to KT and was my go-to for 4.3 roms. I haven't used it in a while, so I can't speak to if it offers more governors and customization.
My take and choice?
Lean and DKP offer the best battery and performance than the rest; they seem to give the same performance, so really you can use either and be happy. I find KT and BMS to be sluggish (even with tweaking) on 4.4 roms AND they don't seem to put the device into the sleep I want it to for battery savings.
BUT... If you're flashing Gummy, give the stock kernel a try! It's the only AOSP-based rom that doesn't use the Cyanogenmod kernel and you can actually get some good performance out of it. I flash DKP over Gummy, but I also flash Lean some times.

Anytime, man. I'm ADD when it comes to roms and kernels, so I'm constantly changing them, but I really like the DKP/Gummy combo. FYI, if you're going to flash Gummy, get the 1/15 build... it's the one I'm on and is the most stable as of late.
I also recommend using the TricksterMOD app from the Play Store. It allows you to modify every feature the kernel will allow and can set on reboot.
Let me know if you want to know what my settings are in Trickster... I have it pretty dialed-in to solid performance and battery life.
Oh and as flyest said... nandroid, THEN flash. You should probably wipe dalvik and cache too. You don't have to, but I've had some bootloops before when I didn't.

Don't even bother with the donation version... you can do everything you need with the free one.
As for I/O... you'll hear various claims that one is better than the other, but I stick with ROW. For the memory our device has 'Read Over Write' is the best scheduler you'll get with these kernels. FIOS is really the best, if you can find it, but ROW is what I stick with.

I've always used Lean Kernel for touchwiz and aosp roms. Very battery friendly and over clockable. I also like DKP for touchwiz. DKP has TricksterMod support and I believe Lean Kernel does as well. But if the rom has performance in the settings menu of the rom I use that instead.

Thanks to beepea206... I'm now getting 20+ hours of battery life off of one charge... I'm not changing a thing

[Q] Good kernel for CM11 which increases thermal throttling temps?

Hello
I am new to this forum and am a long time CM user which I am using on my phone at the moment. However, having discovered the aggressive thermal throttling on this phone (CPU-intensive tasks seem to throttle the max CPU speed down to 1190 MHz very very quickly, before the phone even gets warm), I'm trying to find a custom kernel that will work with CM. I don't care about any fancy features such as S2W or DT2W and if the kernel allows these to be disabled then that would be even better. Basically looking for a reliable, stable kernel that can be configured to be as close to stock as possible, but which would stop the aggressive thermal throttling.
Thanks

Hi, and Welcome!
I'm afraid that your post likely will be considered a "Best ROM or kernel" thread which is not allowed. It's usually suggested that you go over to the development forum and try out kernels for yourself because everybody's needs are different, and so on.

Yes they are compatible too, for ElementalX choose the right version. Both have thermal settings.
There is also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649458 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633955 (almost the same kernels apart the Toolchain), compatible with CM/CM based rom with thermal control too.

All you do is make it "best kernel for specific criteria" then. Mods see it all as the same thing.

I'm giving ElementalX a try for now. The mods can feel free to close this thread if they see fit.
Thanks for all the replies.

before this gets locked you need a CAF kernel, Chaos kernel comes to mind, they do nice work. Comes with NXT tweaks which allows you to customize almost everything including temp.

I tried all possible CM11 kernels and Chaos kernel has in my opinion a very nice CPU load management.
Other kernels will stay for several seconds in max frequency after a power demand which result in higher CPU battery drain.
Bricked kernel was also excellent in that field and super responsive but the developer takes a break at the moment so the kernel is not usable for the CAF Version of CM after 25.01.14 without further modding and the AOSP mod for CM CAF is producing some weird behavior on my phone so I go for Chaos and CM at the moment.

I found Elemental would keep upping the minimum CPU to 1267 instead of 300, so at the moment I'm trying out NexXxt as @viking37 linked above, and using Trickster to configure the temps it seems to be working pretty good.

It's normal, it's how Mpdecision from Qualcomm works (for smoothness purpose). Each time you touch the screen the min CPU freq is increased to 1,26 Ghz. In fact the apps reads this at the min CPU freq because you touch the screen to open it. When you stop to touch the screen the min CPU freq will go back to 300 Mhz, the app needs to update the reading of the min CPU freq too but with Trickser Mod it seems it stuck at 1.26 Ghz all the time (for the reading only) but your min CPU freq is 300 Mhz when you don't touch the screen. You will see better this behavior with an app with "live reading CPU freq" like PerfMon or System Monitor.
You can use the "lock frequency" setting in Trickster Mod after set your min CPU freq to 300Mhz, if you want.

As a first time user to rom flashing I do have a few questions and seeing as how the general is flooded I figured I'd make a new one in regards to the app Pimpmyrom.
If anyone can give me a hand I wanted to know if pimpmyrom is actually useful for anything on the Cromi-X rom? My battery life has always been crap and I can't seem to get it to work properly, at one point my Cooltool actually showed it skips percentages(91 jumps to 89) so I wanted to know if I were to use PMR what functions should I tick to get it to possibly save battery, currently using Ondemand governor with Row scheduler, also for anyone interested Volume+ works WAYYYYYY better than Nox or w/e was on the rom which I was surprised by. Also what should be avoided when working with PMR so as to avoid screen tearing and lags(managed to screw up and somehow ended up with screen tearing) as well as Entropy and if that setting should be changed(using Seeder or PMR) and if undervolting on the _that Kernel 1318 further would mess anything up?
Thanks sdbags and everyone again!

You can try pimpmyrom but I took the best bits anyway - so UV, OC/UC, kernel tweaks are all included.
Be careful as you can introduce a boot-loop if you don't know what you are doing.
I'd rather you use something like trickstermod off the store.

Haha wow! sbdags!(proper now sorry!) thanks for the response! I was looking into trickster mod I honestly am just looking for a good battery w/o sacrificing too much performance. I have the _that kernal v5 1318 but is it already undervolted? and if so can it(or should it) be undervolted further?
Also my Governor is Ondemand and my i/o scheduler is Row should I change any of that? Is smartassv2 better and if I flashed it would it work on Cromi? What about SIO? sorry for all the questions just simple yes and no's is all I need except for the undervolting thing(-25,-50 or some value thats best) I haven't gotten any boot loops yet thankfully and I've always had a nandroid to be safe!

I'm sure I put UV options in the installer. You can always drop -25 and test it using trickster. That doesn't support sio or smartass although I was happy with ondemamd and row. Hunds does support those though. Reinstall over the top and try different options. You won't lose anything by dirty flashing. You can also use the kernel installer.
Good luck!
