I flashed the kernel on my Sprint Galaxy S5. What are the best settings to get balanced performance? What are the benefits of using this for balanced performance versus the stock kernel?
By settings, I am focusing on CPU settings.
I am using SD Booster to boost the speed of my internal and external SD cards by increasing their cache sizes. What are the best settings for the kernel to work with this?
I am not new to overclocking, but the amount of settings in KTweaker overwhelm me.

I'm using and experimenting around with ARHD now.
Using Sultan's latest kernel.
I am a guy that likes battery a lot. Under what settings will the battery be the most efficient?
I'm using.
MPDecision(or smth) - On
Badass
Balanced
Max -810
SecP - 594(or the closest one to it)
ThirdP - 704(or the closest one to it)
SIO.
Vsync - ON
Fsync - Off(dont know what this really do anyway)
Max aggressive OOM
No Swaps.
-50mv
disabled logcat
If its okay I'd love suggestions to max out battery life.
Or the best efficiency to balance battery life and performance prioritizing on battery life. (at least no lags on UI)

Don't make your OOM settings that aggressive if you want battery life. When you have the OOM set to the most aggressive setting, the phone will use more CPU power and thus battery power in order to clean the RAM. Another problem with OOM settings that aggressive is that applications you use frequently and multitask with will be terminated and when you open them the phone has to open them from scratch all over again, wasting much more power than if the program was still cached in the RAM.
I see. Thanks for the tip. I always thought when OOM is set to maximum, there won't be background apps running so it'll save battery.
If its not too much to ask, what about governor and scheduler combination? Max freq I feel smooth is 910. So I can coup with low freq. With no GPU underclock NFS most wanted still runs smooth so its fine too. I disable Vsync because it felt like its using CPU power to keep the sync on.

Disabling vsync causes a lot of visual tearing and I'm not sure if doing that saves power
Best I/O scheduler is SIO. As for governor, best for battery is badass. In the next release of my kernel I'll add badass GPU scaling so you can save even more power
Other ways to save power: use PM_MAX instead of PM_FAST and set the 2D GPU frequency to 145MHz.
Hello everyone.
I have rooted my tab 2 (model: P5110 running official android 4.1.2)
I recently installed the setCPU and tried to create some profiles
for example: working in 1008 mhz in performance mode while charging
However, after I screen off, it would be powered off automatically and I have to long press the power button to power on again.:crying:
I guess that it is not about the profile I set but the setCPU crashed in Tab2.
Is there any method to solve the problem or cannot not use the setCPU?
Thanks a lot !
I am guessing you are using stock kernel as well?
You will need to install a custom kernel that will allow you to overclock to use SetCPU.
With stock kernel, you don't have an option of changing CPU clock speed. I don't know if that is why you are having problems.
Yes, I am using the stock kernel.
I am not going to overclock my tab2 to 1.2Ghz or even higher
but I just want to increase the minimum clock speed since tab 2 is very lag.
For example running at full speed while you are charging the tab
install android tweaker from play store for better perfomance
It's known problem. I called it, sleep too deep. Do not play around with the CPU governor if you are using stock kernel.
Yes, you will need a custom kernel before you can mess around with CPU settings.
I am on stock 4.4.2 kernel. I notice the clock speed for touch boost / Project Butter is now at 1.2 ghz. I really don't ever notice any lag even at 1 ghz with the 4.2 . I don't really care about speed, I prefer longer battery life. Anyone know of a way to adjust or disable touch boost (aka Project Butter) on stock kernel? Or modify kernel file to disable it or adjust amount of mhz boost?
Hey,
I know what's the difference between cafs and aosp kernels, but my question is about the difference between both Cyanogenmod-Roms...
I am using the aosp Rom, what reasons are there to switch to cafs?
Difference in Android/CM-Features?
Noticeable performance boost?
Can I just flash it over aosp-version like flashing the nightlies?
These are options within settings or easily seen differences I noticed and not how one feels vs the other.
You'll have to test that for yourself.
CAF: Ambient Display(Fully functional exactly as it works on the Nexus 6). Turning this on though breaks volume skipping tracks on 12.1. Works fine on 12.0
Color Options(Vivid, Standard, Custom)
In Performance Settings there is an option to automatically change the CPU clock speeds per app(not user definable).
No changeable settings in Performance Settings to the cpu speeds and governor.
Requires CAF TWRP.
AOSP: Downgrades the radio back to 5.0.2
Downgrades the bootloader back to 5.0.2
Low system UI sounds.
No Ambient Display
No Color Options(Vivid, Standard, Custom)
No per app option in Performance Settings.
Has changeable settings in Performance Settings for cpu speeds and governor.
Requires AOSP TWRP.
I've been flashing back and forth between them for days with no issues. If you do flash one over the other just don't post issues in the main thread until you've tried fixing them with a clean flash.

Thank you, I think I'll try caf...
Ambient display is reason enough to switch ?active display does not always work as expected...
The aggressive memory optimization of the Shield Tablet (K1) is well documented. I'm talking about how apps are cleared from memory when switching to another app. Is there any way to fix it?
My use case: Car tablet. So I switch between apps a lot. Don't game much on it anymore.
- I known about disabling stock apps, like Facebook, etc. Doesn't help.
- I'm unlocked / rooted
- Any kernels that fix this issue?
- I'm willing to use a custom ROM
I think you should go back to Marschmallow (1.5), optionally flash BitO kernel and change zram and swappiness.
Nougat eats much more RAM. @mageus
It's not a RAM issue. Memory settings show the memory is not capping out. Swap algorithms have to do with the kernel's management of memory in general. This is the problem where Nvidia aggressively task-kills (presumably to optimize gaming).
Based on posts, it seems that ROMs (such as Lineage) don't fix this problem.
Does Bit0 fix the multitasking issue? Why can't you use Bit0-k10 on nougat?
I assume Doze is switched off?

You can use the k10 kernel on nougat, though I am not sure if it helps with memory management since I pretty agressively greenified and uninstalled apps and only left the few apps I use. Never the less, perfomance is better, but I still struggle to keep google chrome tabs from refreshing after not using them for a few minutes.
I solved the problem.
Galaxy Tab S2 9.7", $270 Black Friday deal.
I love the K1, but the couple glaring issues ruin it for my purposes.
