Interactive governor explanation - Asus Transformer TF700

Alright xda,
After scouring the Internet and this forum as well as others for answers, I've given up. It seems that interactive governor explanations are few and far between, ranging from outdated to only explaining one or two points. The problem is that people like me want to know what the heck ALL this stuff means so I can get the best out of my custom Rom!
So with the chart provided, if someone kind enough with some free time could possible explain all the values meanings so that i can use that info to modify Cromi-x5.4 into the better beast it already is.
Some values I get, others (particularly load and boost) make no sense.
Really hoping for a savior here!

and for the gory details read the (comments in the) source code:
https://github.com/that1/android_ke.../master/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_interactive.c

Thanks bud, even followed lucius zens guide and my tablet is flying now and the battery is doing better! Amazing how a few tweaks to a governor can help
Now if only I knew the best undervolt values cause my values are screwed up in the sense that I can't tune them out of fear of undervolting too much(50 causes severe stability problems and battery drain)

[Q] Time in state file

Ok, sorry to ask this i have tried to find the information in the threads with no luck.
In passing on a thread in the dev forums I saw someone mention a file in the android
system that records the time the CPU spends in each state (ie at 100mhz, 200mhz etc)
I found the file that time and examined it. I would like to find it again, despite searching for it (in my phone, the forums and google) i have not been able to find it again.
I am having battery drain issues and would like to see if my phone is properly scaling down when idle. I have os monitor to see if something is using it, but that gives me live instantaneous information about usage percentages. This should give me broad information about how hard my CPU is running over a period of time. Besides just because something is taking up 10% it doesnt mean the CPU is scaling up to 1000mhz to handle that request.
So if anyone knows where that file is located i would be grateful if they could share.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
I use File Express, and have the file bookmarked so that it is easy to find. I suspect you could also create a home button to it with Astro File Manager.
Thank you, very much. I found it once forgot to bookmark and spent hours going through every folder I could find.

I figured it would be nice to have a simple app to display this info, so I wrote a small app to graphically show you the time in each state + kernel build info (for those who flash often enough to forget what kernel they're running )

Quadrant Benchmark I/ O only 989

Hi Community ,
i have the tf300t tablet at home with the last FW from Asus.
The device is rooted. But when i make a benchmark test with quadrant i have only 989 by I/O .
End result is 3270 : CPU:10294 Mem: 2569 I/O:989 2D : 253 3D :2245
My opinion is taht the results for I/O and 2D is too small. Can i fix it by anyway ????
Thanks Man and sorry for the bad english !
And i want to say that iam very happy that surdupetru is also in this community. Before my asus i had a archos gen 9 and he makes the best roms for this device. And my last question to surdu will you make a rom for the asus in aokp style. Thanks !!
The I/O is a common problem with this tablet, the prime and the infinity

And what is the language support i see english and maybe chinese?
I like this rom.
But hope you can full translate some Chinese words to English.
Thanks!
Make sure you've credited the right people for your base and kernel. Or if they are yours you must share your sources. Otherwise xda will remove this thread for Kanging

First of all, download an app called "Setxperia" , go to your cpu settings and set your governor to ondemand, and threshold to 40 (This gives responsiveness and speed comparable to higher end phones such as my galaxy s2). Second, download an app called "Deep sleep battery saver" , set the preset on any you want (I recommend strong) , set your screen on and off delay to 5 seconds. For battery discharge settings, set it to 10% , for recharge settings, press ignore. (Doing this compensates for power the low threshold uses) and there you go, done! Tested on my galaxy s2 first then sidekick 4g, methods work for both devices.

I only ever see a battery issue when I use wifi. But I might as well try this out.

I recommend chaos kernel, comes with NXT app. You can downclock, undervolt, and change the governor. Very useful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551441
But yes what the guys said above me, no best ROMs/ kernels thread. Reading and searching are your friends.
really, the best way to find your devices best kernel on battery is to try them out, decide on the one thats best for your device, and for your personal needs and usage. all our devices vary, so do our usages, and so do our needs. anyways..
battery life is determined by your personal usage, your person setup, your personal method of app management, and most importantly battery life is determined by the quality of your personal data/phone signal. everything else, including undervolting, only provides negligible results. thats why no matter what rom you are running, no matter what kernel you are running, no matter if you are using dalvik or ART, there are people that will say that it gives them great battery life while others say it doesnt give them great battery life.
