SysTune
Optimize under the hood of your system!
** Root Rights required!!! **​
This is a system tuning and tweaking tool for advanced users with root access. It allows you to change various system settings to optimize your system.
This is my very first App on the Market. I am open for feedback and try at my best to solve any requests if possible.
It is very advised to properly inform yourself about those settings as i do not take any responsability for any damamge to your device.
NEW FEATURE
Changing priority of processes allows you to prevent lagging or other issues e.g. when a back ground process slow down your phone or you forground app has struggles to do its fluently.
See Help Tab for more informations before using this feature! More Informations and a small Guide will be available in the second or third post in the next days.
Note: The background service for monitoring processes to renice them causes no increased battery drain!
Features:
Changing min/max CPU frequency
Changing cpu governor
Changing advanced governor settings
Voltage Control (SVS and HAVS supported)
Block device settings like IO-Scheduler
Kernel (Scheduler) Tweaks
VM Tweaks
Changing priorities of active processes (renice)
Apply on Boot
Mulit-Core / -CPU support
Realtime CPU Clock Speed and "Time in State"-View of each Core/CPU
Save and load settings individually for each tab (press Menu).
Multi-Core/-CPU supporting CPU Stress Test (New)
Safe Mode ( see in-app Help for Informations )
..... more to come!
NOTE: The availability of the features depends on your system. E.g. if your installed kernel does not provide access to VDD Levels voltage control than it won't be available.
After installation take your time and read the informations on the Help-Tab.

Download User Settings​
This is a section with user contributed settings files for SysTune. Anyone can submit their settings via attachment to a post.
Though i beg to follow some basic rules:
Tell which device, rom (version) and Kernel used
IMPORTANT: Date (and optinal a version number) of your settings. So we now if there was a modification meanwhile!
Short but clear explenation why you use this values
What you did to come to the conclusion to use them
[OPTIONAL] What you changed over the default values of your rom/kernel. (note which were the default values before the change!)
Please follow the rules to make it easier for others to judge if your settings are usefull for them.
A user's settings for CM 10.1 for DHD rom:
Device: Desire HD, Rom: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies / M-Series - nightly from 20.02.2013
Date: Feb., 20, 2013
No renicing used anymore
Using stock clocks and ondemand governor.
Ondemand Governor settings
Misc settings
A user's settings:
Device: Desire HD, Rom: SCI MIUI 1.11.25v1.0, Kernel: lordmod 8.5 cfs
Date: Nov., 30, 2011
Smoother and more battery friendly then default values.
I am using several benchmark apps to test different aspects. Also i am testing overall daily usage. For reliable tests i have some things i repeat to see how the impact of changes of the settings is. Benchmarks used are: NenaMark 2, An3DBenchXL, Quadrant (not very good though), AnTuTu, TAP Benchmark (for internal flash memory), SD Tools (for sd card).
CPU Settings: ondemand
Governor settings
Misc settings
For BFS kernel version use set rr_interval=2 in the misc tab under kernel settings. But for my Rom i stick to CFS currently.
Renice Settings
Some general tips:
The priorities influence the behaviour when two processes that want to do some work at the same time. It influences which process will get more cpu time, thus it may cause lags for the lower priority process.
So in general the default priority of 0 is the one you should keep for most of the processes. But there are some processes that maybe you are not using all the time, but when you want them to use you want them fast and lag free.An example for this is the "phone" process but also the systemui process can improve the behaviour of your GUI in general.
On the other side there are processes that need to do some work in the background. Such process could slow down or cause lags on your currently used app / foreground process. An example for this is the media scanner "android.process.media". Think of reducing its priority to prevent slowing down other things. You won't care if the media scan in the background would need a minute longer to finish if you get a more fluent foreground app
I also got user reports for apps like media players that since they increased their priority now work flawless.
A User's Renice Settings 12 Dec. 2011 (see used rom etc. above!)
Notess:
I increased the the priority for processes that need to respond fast when they actually are needed, like the phone process.
I also increased the priority of my keyoard app to improve its pop upp in some seldom but annoying situations. If you use more than one keyboard app just set an increased value of all of them. As you never will use two at the same time you do not need to decrease the priority of one of them
Beside of other stuff i also increased the priority of my used launcher, adw ex. Add your launcher or replace my entry with one for your launcher. I think com.android.launcher is the process name for the standard launcher. But as you are using it you can see its process in the list of the "add" dialog.

strange, where has the reply of user sergeybrin gone?
anyway, am open for suggestions and reports of issues. if anybody has tried it found that something is not working for their phone i would be thankfull to know what so i am able to fix that.

Optimal settings for LordMod 7.2BFS kernel
Hi a user thanks for the great app.
I'm on Alienmod's CM7 (nightly 208) with LordMod's 7.2BFS kernel and was wondering what the optimum settings are in the "Governor" tab?
I looked at your MIUI thread and saw that you have:
suspend_freq @ 614400
down_differential @ 15
sampling_down_factor @ 50
ignore_nice_load @ 0
up_threshold @ 85
powersave_bias @ 50
sampling_rate @ 80,000
io_is_busy @ 1
so I am using these settings and everything seems ok.. (im using ondemandX 230400min and 1152000max).
Are these settings ok to use for my ROM or are there better settings?
Also i'm currently -50mV undervolted.
Thanks!!

this are still the settings i use and i think they pretty much optimal for aosp roms for the dhd. edit: except that my max fre is 1075MHz
regarding undervolting: carefull and you should only undervolt one freq at a time then test that extesively (e.g. by setting min and max freq to it and running something stressing the cpu for a longer time).
in general it is only needed to undervolt the freqs close to your set max freq as undervolting only makes a significant difference on consumption if there is high load. and on high load your phone switches to higher freqs
p.s. glad you are happy with the app.

I recently discovered due to a nice customer that despite googles license code documentation the licensing server do not provide validation timeout infos. hence some customers may observed that the app failed licensing on connection issues.
Google documentation on this claimed it should work as i expected but it doesn't. Hence i just fixed this now myself and want to apologise for any issues caused by this. I will improve this further in the near future.

Great App

thank you!
@all: There are many roms out there with broken busybox installations. i already have some workaround built in to handle that. i just discovered that one of my workaround had a typo. so if someone tried the app and saw it not working as it should it probably got fixed with the most recent update to 1.2.6.
i would like to see why some people are cancelling the purchase as it is already possible to see exactly what it does on the screen shots. If something is not working as it should i can't fix it without feedback. too many roms and devices out there to have them all and being able to test against.

I've tested unsuccessfully on the tmo g2x running EaglesBlood latest (cm7 based) and the dragon kernal. By testing I mean the drop downs for CPU Max and min show a thin white bar with nothing selectable.
Edit: tested with another kernal, and my guess is they don't support your method for accessing the processors... but I've been wrong before.

thank you for the feedback. But i need the info provided by the feedback button. Please use the feedback button on the help tab to collect some information and send it via email.
if you do not want to send me an email you canstill use that button. it will collect some infos and save them on your sdcard as "systune.inf". cancel the email that opens up. the file will still remain on your sdcard.
attach it here to your next post (maybe you need to rename its extension to .txt). without that info there is nothing i could do.
p.s. you can look into that file to verify that nothing confidential is collected. it is plain text.
EDIT: i saw your edit. does this mean with the other kernel it worked? basically your guessing seems right. but the thing is that my method to acces this values is the ONLY one possible. it is done through the kernel exported values in the sysfs. this is basically the only way to access kernel values at runtime. this custom kernel(s) you are using are either not exporting these stuff or they are doing wrong (by convention).
in the latter case at least i could do a workaround to compensate for their wrong placement of the stuff.

The Load Settings dialog box is not working on BlackIce, same problem as I had on Hydr0g3nmod before. Box just displays Cancel and nowhere to select a file to load. Not critical but would be nice to have. Probably due to the super dark theme. Thanks!
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

cold y verify that it is indeed only due to the theme? i mean try pressing in the middle of the box where normally the entry of a file to load is located and see if it loads.
if it is just a theme issue, dark text on dark background, then you should inform paradoxx or alienmind about this as this is a bug on their rom. i am simpy using system default theme.
usefull for them to know is that the items to load are listed in a ListView using "android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1" for the items. With these infos they should be able to fix their theme.
p.s. new version with new features coming very soon.

Thanks, no luck in finding the hidden dialog box but no big deal.I'll wait until the BlackIce theme fix is done, or who knows perhaps I'll be back on sci miui by then

New version with new features available.
Now it supports various kernel tweaks (cfs scheduler tweaks) and vm tweaks. You can find them in the Misc Tab. Also saving/loading is now available for the Misc Tab.

Hi my8,
Do you think that it could be useful to discuss our findings about the tuning of some parameters here or in another section?
Thanks for your VERY useful app.

normally i would say this should be in a device specific thread. but because i wont be allowed to open up a systune thread in each device subforum i think we could do it here.
so feel free to be the first.
as basic rules i think one should always include infos about device/rom/kernel to make the post actually usefull.

new version 1.3.2:
added tunable paramter for BFS kernels in the Kernel settings section under the Misc tab.

Ok thanks for that and also for v1.3.2.
I think also that here could be a good place for the discussion of some of the tunable parameters via systune app. Indeed, I think that there should be no such big difference from ROM to ROM (but probably more from device to device...).
This offers also the possibility to give (and get) some information about the parameters that are tunable via Systune.
Among the different group of parameters, due to personal interest, I want to focus on scheduler ones (CFS and now BFS (since v1.3.2)).
And first of all, some theory, because before tuning anything, it is EXTREEMELY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND the meaning of these parameters: here below is a partial copy of http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-tuning/cha.tuning.taskscheduler.html about CFS in opensuse distribution.
NB: I am not an expert in Android, but IMHO I thing that even if Android runs on linux, it must be a lot of difference between running a phone and a desktop. It is why, it is interesting to have this kind of discussion here.
The comment are personal and are there just to start the discussion....
My phone is a HTC Desire HD, with blackIce ROM with LordMod UE kernel v8 CFS.
sched_child_runs_first
A freshly forked child runs before the parent continues execution. Setting this parameter to 1 is beneficial for an application in which the child performs an execution after fork. For example make -j<NO_CPUS> performs better when sched_child_runs_first is turned off. The default value is 0.
OK default value seems logical for me.
sched_compat_yield
Enables the aggressive yield behavior of the old 0(1) scheduler. Java applications that use synchronization extensively perform better with this value set to 1. Only use it when you see a drop in performance. The default value is 0.
OK default value seems logical for me, but Dalvik being a Java VM, 1 could also be logical ?????
Expect applications that depend on the sched_yield() syscall behavior to perform better with the value set to 1.
sched_migration_cost
Amount of time after the last execution that a task is considered to be “cache hot” in migration decisions. A “hot” task is less likely to be migrated, so increasing this variable reduces task migrations. The default value is 500000 (ns).
If the CPU idle time is higher than expected when there are runnable processes, try reducing this value. If tasks bounce between CPUs or nodes too often, try increasing it.
In case of single core processor, IMHO I think that this value must be set high....
sched_latency_ns
Targeted preemption latency for CPU bound tasks. Increasing this variable increases a CPU bound task's timeslice. A task's timeslice is its weighted fair share of the scheduling period:
timeslice = scheduling period * (task's weight/total weight of tasks in the run queue)
The task's weight depends on the task's nice level and the scheduling policy. Minimum task weight for a SCHED_OTHER task is 15, corresponding to nice 19. The maximum task weight is 88761, corresponding to nice -20.
Timeslices become smaller as the load increases. When the number of runnable tasks exceeds sched_latency_ns/sched_min_granularity_ns, the slice becomes number_of_running_tasks * sched_min_granularity_ns. Prior to that, the slice is equal to sched_latency_ns.
This value also specifies the maximum amount of time during which a sleeping task is considered to be running for entitlement calculations. Increasing this variable increases the amount of time a waking task may consume before being preempted, thus increasing scheduler latency for CPU bound tasks. The default value is 20000000 (ns).
For a phone running with a processor > 1GHz I thing that 5000000 is a good value (to be discussed further)
sched_min_granularity_ns
Minimal preemption granularity for CPU bound tasks. See sched_latency_ns for details. The default value is 4000000 (ns).
Same as above with a suggested value of 1000000
sched_wakeup_granularity_ns
The wake-up preemption granularity. Increasing this variable reduces wake-up preemption, reducing disturbance of compute bound tasks. Lowering it improves wake-up latency and throughput for latency critical tasks, particularly when a short duty cycle load component must compete with CPU bound components. The default value is 5000000 (ns).
Same as above with a suggested value of 1000000
sched_nr_migrate
Controls how many tasks can be moved across processors through migration software interrupts (softirq). If a large number of tasks is created by SCHED_OTHER policy, they will all be run on the same processor. The default value is 32. Increasing this value gives a performance boost to large SCHED_OTHER threads at the expense of increased latencies for real-time tasks.
IMHO must be sed = 0 for single core processor....
[To be continued later.....]

I know this article already but good you posted it here.
Based on my understanding an tests i have the following suggestions:
Sched_compat_yield set to 0 seems to improve performance. Note this is not a java virtual machine. This is only based on my tests
Sched_latency_ns : I recently am testing very low values. Currently using 390000 and 130000 for the two granularity parameters.
It seems smoother without losing raw throughoutput performance.
Regarding the migration parameters.... we are running a single core device. hence I think it simply doesn't matter what values we have set there as no task will ever switch the CPU it is bound to.
But a test if set to 0 can reduce some overhead could be a worth try.

Ok and thanks for your answer even if I don't totally agree with your proposal.
Indeed, I think that going down to so small value could be a little bit risky in term of CPU load and throughput for processor bounded task (I know that they are quite unimportant in a phone). Nevertheless, I am now testing Sched_latency_ns 1000000 and 250000 for the two granularity parameters...
Now some words about BFS ( Brain **** Scheduler) introduced recently by M. Kolivas (see article here: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/sched-BFS.txt).
"It was designed to be forward looking only, make the most of lower spec machines, and not scale to massive hardware. ie it is a desktop orientated scheduler, with extremely low latencies for excellent interactivity by design rather than "calculated", with rigid fairness, nice priority distribution and extreme scalability within normal load levels."
Here the only tunable parameter is rr_interval that is roughly equivalent to the latency [in ms]. The default value = 6 [ms] that seems ok for me (possible values 1 -> 1000).

KT-SGS6 [Kernel] Builds [Discussion] [G92X] [TW 5.0] ★KTWEAKER SHOP★

ALL THANKS AND CREDITS GO TO THE ONE AND ONLY KTOONSEZ FOR HIS AWESOME KERNEL AND GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THESE BUILDS.​
Welcome!
I am in no way affiliated with Ktoonsez or his work. I’m just a simple member of the XDA community who happens to be a huge supporter of this kernel and its creator. This is just my way of giving back. I am aware of some of the issues that may occur on specific kernel builds for some users as well as the difficulties faced when fine tuning the kernel and this is my response to that:
This is by no means intended to replace any of the original KT-SGS6 kernel threads. The purpose of this thread is simply to work in conjunction with them by providing a variety of builds for which users can experiment with and find which versions perform as intended on each of their respective device models. As on previous Samsung devices I am also bringing back the Ktweaker Shop filled with tons of pre-configured settings compiled by myself and others in attempt to further assist S6 and S6 EDGE users with improving their overall experiences on this device or to simply use as a baseline to work upon tweaking further. So I’ve gathered just about all of the current and previous kernel builds I had hidden within my pc as well as all the various Ktweaker settings and am sharing them with the public. I hope this makes a difference for all you guys. ENJOY!! :good:
POST #2: Reserved for UNIFIED {G92X} users
POST #3: Reserved for SPRINT users
POST #4: Reserved for the KTWEAKER SHOP
POST #5: Reserved for TEST PROFILES
If at any given time you aren't already on the kernel and Ktoonsez hasn't updated his links, there'll be no need to flash previous builds when you want to receive OTA's as ALL posts will be updated regularly upon future releases. So please be sure to refer back here for all builds from this point moving forward!
I will NOT be held liable for anything that may occur to your device nor will Ktoonsez. So please...
***FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK***​
If you encounter any suspicious issues when updating the kernel, follow my recommended procedure for the best possible results:
1) Backup current Ktweaker settings
2) Open any root browser (make sure it's mounted as r/w) then navigate to /system/app/ and delete the Ktweaker and KTmoniter apk's
3) Navigate to your sdcard and delete the Ktweaker folder OR rename it by adding a ".bak" extension without the quotes.
4) {Optional} Clear all Superuser logs
5) Reboot Recovery
6) Flash kernel
7) Reboot
8) Copy any saved profiles back into /sdcard/Ktweaker/Profiles/
9) Restore Ktweaker settings
10) Profit?
NOTE: If at any point Ktoonsez no longer wants this thread open it will be closed without question.
Please visit original kernel thread for change logs, extras, etc...

Welcome to the Ktweaker Shop!
Here you will find all of the pre-configured settings provided by myself and Ktoonsez. As a proud member of Team Kernelizers, I am offering a variety of profiles specifically for S6 and S6 EDGE users with their personal needs in mind as it's pretty clear not everyone favors the same governor, scheduler, etc.. Any suggestions are always welcome. All future profiles will be added here for sharing and discussion. Keep in mind that results will always vary per device regardless on the settings being used.
All profiles have been grouped into 3 sub-categories; "Conservative", "Balanced", and "Performance", which are used to classify each profile based on their role and what they are expected to deliver to your device. The 4th sub-group is where you can find some of our best "Projects" in which offers 2 or more profiles per project. Make your selections based on your usage needs and apply what works best for you and your phone. We're here to help eachother out and with more options comes better experiences for everyone running this kernel.
So shop around.. pick and choose.. load and go!!
Installation
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" and "About" file. The "Adjustments" file is just a simplified view of all the changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone.
2. Copy ONLY the XML(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" or "About" file) to "/sdcard/KTweaker/Profiles" using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open the Ktweaker app and click on the "Profiles" setting at the top of the slider drawer OR scroll to the bottom and select "Profiles & Scripts" then click "Restore Profile from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Select the one you want to apply and confirm.
5. Make sure the "Set options on boot" setting at the top of the slider drawer shows a little green boot icon below it, indicating the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to ALWAYS load your stock voltage table on BOTH CPU clusters IMMEDIATELY after applying a profile as most of these are based on an ASV10 CPU and may result in reboots!!!
1) Apply the profile
2) Quickly go to the CPU voltage for cluster 0 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
3) NOW go to the CPU voltage for cluster 1 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
4) Done!
​
Conservative​
Asking Alexandria
This is a battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.
Coming soon....
Bless The Child
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
coming soon...
Dead By April
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further with it's heavy underclocking as well as it's higher thresholds and online blocks to prevent other cores from coming online too soon. Although It focuses very little on performance it manages to maintain a fairly smooth interface for your average daily use.
https://copy.com/oFLHg4ZG2MyvRzrq
Balanced​
Balanced Bull v1
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and is a profile designed for my own personal usage pattern. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
https://copy.com/SKdHYHskn1NgLitp
ECLIPSE
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
coming soon
Ktoonsified v1
These settings are my settings, This is a performance oriented option in which also offers a great deal of battery life. YOU WILL NEED TO LOAD YOUR STOCK VOLTAGE TABLE THOUGH since there are 16 different bins of CPUs!!!

Ktoonsified {MOD}
This mod is intended to work as an alternative to the original Ktoonsified profile. It's specifically for the users experiencing issues such as screen wake and incoming call delays and media stutters on Ktoonsified v1 . Use this profile to repair most if not all of these issues.
NOTE: The adjustments text file will show you the few changes I've made from the original Ktoonsified profile.
https://copy.com/2bcvnievx8suWohD
SmoothManic v1
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez!
The idea with this is to get the CPU really high on 2 cores when screen is touched and then bring them both back down really quick so UI is super smooth but don't kill the battery by hanging out at that high Mhz step.

Undisputed
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
coming soon
Performance​
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
coming soon
From Ashes To New
This is a straight performance profile. It's similar to Feed The Machine and Rebirthing in the sense that it syncs the cores to the boosted frequency on touch and almost instantaneously jumps right back down to 300MHz. The difference between the profiles is that this one makes better use of all the cores. However, due to the rapid scale down I think most people will find battery life to be surprisingly good for this type of profile
coming soon
KTGaming v1
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez! This is a super performance oriented option which allows me to play any game with ZERO LAG!!!!!!!

SmoothGaming v1
This profile is based on SmoothManiac v1 but with performance enhancenents to provide a much smoother gaming experience while hotplugging is active. Some of these enhancements include a much higher sampling interval as well as offline blocks to allow frequencies to scale and hotplug at a more reasonable pace.
NOTE: The adjustments file will show you the changes I've made to SmoothManiac v1.

Comatose
This project was inspired by the album of the same name by my #1 favorite rock band of all time, Skillet. It consists of 3 profiles of which are also named after 3 of my favorite tracks from this album (included in the "Extras" folder) and all focus on one key element; VARIETY.
As the name suggests, "Comatose" is geared towards battery conservation. It focuses on keeping CPU low for a prolonged period but utilizes 3 of the 4 cores on touch and the 4th on demand for fluidity. Sample rates have been decreased heavily as to increase polling and allow the other cores to quickly spike towards higher frequencies for a given task then immediately drop back down as if the component had been knocked unconscious.
The second profile is "Rebirthing". This profile will counteract the affects of Comatose by heavily boosting performance as a means to bring life and energy back into this profile that remains unconscious. Rebirthing is intended for those seeking a performance-based version of Comatose but who knows... For such a power hungry profile you may just be surprised by the great battery life it also delivers.
Some of you may not favor the heavy battery conservation that "Comatose" offers or the overall power consumption of "Rebirthing" and much prefer a mashup of elements delivered between the 2 and that is the purpose of "Whispers In the Dark". This profile is directed towards finding the right balance between these 2 profiles while still acting as a it's own profile. It utilizes most of the performance aspects from "Rebirthing" Like "Comatose" it uses a fairly high up_threshold for that extra boost in battery performance. The profile also idles at the same minimum cpu as "Comatose" but ALL profiles run at stock 2457Mhz.
All profiles maintain the same concept of rapid cpu polling. So yes, cpu will be working consistently but my theory here is that more polling will allow the kernel to rapidly check CPU usage, thus allowing CPU to change more frequently according to the load, which in turn will prevent persistent pegging of even higher frequencies and instead consume various amounts of power in various scenarios depending on your usage, consuming even less when a specific task has completed and immediately dropping the load.
This also applies to screen off states but that goes back to what was explained in this post regarding high vs low sampling rates and how they can greatly increase idle times depending on your screen off max.
coming soon
If you'd like to contribute to the Ktweaker Shop all you need to do is post the profile you'd like to share and include a brief description of it's purpose. It will then be tested thoroughly by the community and based on feedback will be submitted here in the Shop for approval and sent out to the dev so he can add the profile to the Shop in Ktweaker!

Profiles require a lot of testing before final release. They are put through a number of performance and battery life phases under various scenarios to ensure each respective profile meets the task at hand and provide the best possible results to the user. I've already released 3 profiles in the last 8 days if you didn't already know and am currently working on/testing the 4th. So please be patient. I'm working as fast as I possibly can to release all the profiles to you guys but like most people, I don't have all the time in the world.. I wish I did.

+1 Bro I wish I did to lol. I am in no rush at all. I am sure you don't need me telling you this, but take your time bro!!!! I think you are doing a great job. I also appreciate all the help in the twisted thread to!! I have a few questions for you. I have noticed in the couple shops I can not find the kernel default button anymore, as I am guessing he removed it. How do I get the kernel back to default again? I have also noticed a stock profile and was wondering if that was the kernel default? Or should I just reflash the kernel again to get back to default lol? I do appreciate it, thanks a bunch!!!
you say "ALWAYS load your stock voltage tables on BOTH CPU clusters IMMEDIATELY after applying a profile as most of these are based on an ASV10 CPU and may result in reboots!!!"
I don´t know how to do it

1) Apply the profile
2) Quickly go to the CPU voltage for cluster 0 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
3) NOW go to the CPU voltage for cluster 1 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
4) Done!

And yes, I had GSAM to check if I had any useless **** draining my battery, but none
Then I checked the settings app to see cell standby taking the highest toll on my battery
I had CPU Spy and saw that it was deep sleeping also

Ok but how well did it sleep exactly? Sounds more like you have a number of alarms waking up your phone, more often than necessary. Some BBS stats would definitely help.
but do also try other profiles, maybe SmoothManiac to start and see if you notice any improvements in battery life.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #2​REALLY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Please read it!​
We ( @patalao and me) have decided to create a new thread since the @op from the thread we were using seems to be inactive, so doing this will give us more freedom for editing the main post and providing you guys with more information.
I also need to thanks all the awesome people that have made this possible, therefore thanks to @soniCron and @Alcolawl for being the creators of the original guide and all the fantastic tweaks that you have made.
Thanks to @flar2 for his great app (EXKM) and his kernel and to @patalao for his superb tweaks and all the help he has provided me.

All that you are about to read is based on THIS THREAD so go there and thanks @soniCron for it.
I'll go ahead and copy and paste some of the firsts paragraphs so those who don't know what this all is about can understand a bit.
I'm about to tell you how to get buttery smooth, lag-free performance with insanely good battery life, using an old school governor featured in practically every kernel... This tweak is applicable to every phone with any ROM or kernel--stock or custom--that provides the Interactive Governor.
Yeah, yeah... everyone promises good battery with great performance, but who actually delivers? Maybe it isn't as smooth as you want, or maybe it requires something your kernel or ROM don't support. Or maybe the battery life promises just aren't what you expected. There's always some awful compromise. Not here!
This isn't a guide to get 36 hour battery life... provided you never use your phone. That's deep sleep optimization, which is lovely and all, but what good is the phone if you can never use it?! And with the new Marshmallow Doze feature, this strategy is becoming a thing of the past. What I'm talking about is 7-14 hour screen on, actual hands-on usage times! Without compromising anything, you can get 7-8 hour screen on usage with regular, no-compromise usage habits: daytime visible screen brightness, both radios on, sync on, network location on, all the regular usage features, the whole kit and kaboodle... all smooth as a baby's butt and snappy as a Slim Jim! (Up to 14+ hours if you can stand minimum brightness and WiFi-only with a custom ROM and other stuff turned off! And this is with stock voltages and full frequency range--you'll likely get even more if you choose to optimize those as well!)
However, it should be noted that this does not apply to gaming, heavy camera use, etc. Anything that is an automatic battery killer in and of itself. There's nothing that can be done about anything that forces the phone to utilize its maximum resources all the time. But you should know that by now. Further, this guide is about optimizing the CPU as much as possible. It does not cover things like eliminating wakelocks so your phone sleeps well, removing unnecessary and battery draining stock apps, keeping your screen brightness down*, and all that stuff that's been covered in other posts ad infinitum. Those optimizations are up to you.
If you really want to know the principles of this tweaks, please go to this thread since there everything is really well explained and I know you guys just want to apply the tweak and forget about everything behind it, so just keep scrolling!
Voltages and Frequencies:
So recently I have been investigating about the Voltages of our device (since that is a really useful information to know) before that we only have the Nominal frequencies (If you don't know what I am talking about go ahead and read @soniCron thread because I won't explain it) we could develop some tweaks with that, but we were pretty much making blind shots, guessing and hoping that all will be right. Well, now that we have all this information we can optimize our tweaks even more so expect new updates and rework for the current tweaks and of course new ones.
I have made a little spreadsheet with the Nominal and Efficient frequencies for you guys, so you can take a look and maybe modify our tweaks to your needs, since, all of them have been tested by @patalao, our tester and me, which involves that are tested without usage and not yours.
No much to say about frequencies so we move right away to the voltages
We have more to talk about this, as you can see OverClocking have NO down points since it will consume the same voltage as the maximum stock clock speed and it will give use more performance. UPDATE: It's true that the voltage it's the same, but there is some downpoint which are explained in this posts. Here and here Thanks to @bedalus for pointing itn out!
Notice that the voltages on CM ROMs are higher that on OOS and that the values were shown there are from OOS. We are already working on a flashable zip or script for modifying those values since cannot be modified anyway else.
On the Snapdragon 820 (Our chipset) things have changed a lot from the previous chipsets like the 808 (Nexus 5X) and 810 (Nexus 6P). Now we are back to the Quad-Core, which is good, more cores= more battery consumption but we continue with the Little.BIG set up, where we have a Little Cluster (really efficient and fast) and a Big Cluster (slow but good for heavy loads). On previous chipsets, the Little kernel was really good on low-mid clock speeds and the Big cluster was really good on high frequencies and bad on low. Well, this is still true, but not we don't have such difference than before. Our Little cluster is going to be "the main thing" as it was before, but now the Big cluster has a really low consumption on lower frequencies so can be really good for sustained loads which only demand low~mid clock speeds as well it will be used as a quick burst for help the Little cluster to not reach High freq here it's not that efficient anymore.
How this affect your device (ROM/KERNEL)
You might NOT get the same results as me or other, it will depend mainly on your usage, secondly on the kernel and finally on the ROM that you currently using.
Not all the tweaks work the same way for certain kernel, what I mean with this is that the battery life/performance might be better running X kernel with X tweak, but the same tweak applied to another kernel might not be that good at all
Wait what? What you want to tell me is that some kernel is better than other, right?
Yes and No, Some kernel is better than other but also, some kernel perform better with certain tweaks as can be seen in the following screenshots (This test have been performed using AnTuTu tester with a clean install of last RR + the Kernel, nothing else. I know is a benchmark and the perfect thing whole be a real life test but that takes days, so If somebody wants to do it, I'll post the results)
Disclaimer:: This is just a profile (tweaks) for the interactive governor. If you experience any unexpected fc, reboots, massive stuttering/lagging, etc, this profile isn't most likely not responsible for that.
What About Touchboost?
Since I've noticed that a lot of people was asking about Thouchboost, I decided to add this little explanation from @soniCron
" Touchboost is a nifty feature in a lot of kernels (including stock on Nexus 5X) that jumps up the frequency so that you experience minimal lag. However, with all the above settings, touchboost is usually detrimental to the efficiency of the device!
We generally want to keep the CPU on the lowest possible frequency as much as possible, and touchboost interferes with that. Further, because we've set up the maximal and minimal efficient clock rates, as well as burst processing from the 2nd CPU core, we don't need touchboost!
If your kernel allows you to shut it off, try to do so and see if the responsiveness of your device is acceptable. On the OP3 (and pretty much all the devices), touchboost adds no perceptual performance gain and only hurts efficiency and battery life. If your kernel doesn't allow you to turn off touchboost, try another one.
Your battery life will thank you! "
With all that been said, you shouldn't confuse Touchboost with CPU Boost and more specifically Input boost. Both are used to boost the clock speed of our device whenever we touch the touchscreen, so we don't suffer any lags.
The difference is that Input boost can be configured and Touchboost cannot, making it a really inefficient.
MY DEVICE LAGS!!! WHY?!?!
First of all, it's a "normal" thing, as I have stated before, all these tweaks have been done for fit my usage or certain usage which is most likely not the same as yours. Because this, when the are put on a certain scenario the might stutter or lag just a bit (If you are experimenting huge lags, you have done something wrong)
And yes, this can be fixed. We have a couple of ways of fixing it:
First of all, Check If the tweaks have been applied correctly
Our first one is modifying the Input boost (not touchboost) most of our tweaks have an already established Input boost clock speeds and time, you can incise does too a bit. For example, we have 960(Mhz) for all the CPU at 40ms you could bump it up to ~1036(Mhz) and 42ms, don't modify too much this values since it will potentially increase your battery drain.
Our second tool for fixing lags is min_sample_time , my recommendation is to increase the value by 5000 each time till you no longer suffer any stutter or lag.
Try another tweak, for example;
If you are using Project X.A.N.A Battery, try using Balanced option...
Still having lag?
Get rid of unnecessary (background-)apps
Try a different IO-Scheduler
Try another profile
My phone still uses too much battery
First of all, Check If the tweaks have been applied correctly
Make sure that you have disabled touchboost.
Set brightness to a lower level.
Use a dark / black theme
Don't play games all day
Try other tweak, for example;
If you are using Project Zhana Balanced, try using Battery option...

=================================================================================================
Project Zhana & X.A.N.A v4.2: (Everybody should try it!!)
Go to this post for the full lenght explanation.
This tweak has all the new discovery voltages and some other new techniques, giving us great battery life without losing performance
The battery could be even better than FairPark *14 h SOT*
GhostPepper:
Uses a quantized, frequency-aligned parametric curve to influence low core clock rates while providing extremely smooth transitions from each clock rate and exceptional battery life
Really well-defined clock speed escalation for a good battery and performance.
FairPark:
There have been a lot of controversy about this tweak lately. So after you complain, this will NOT work for all of you guys.
For me, it works perfectly and it accomplished all that I'm going to state, but maybe you guys will experiment lags.
This tweak is not for everyone.
Probably the most battery efficient tweak ever created, fantastic battery with extremely smooth performance even playing games as Clash Royale or Pok?mon GO.
You can easily get 10 hours SOT or even more (If you don't play any games) just texting, browsing and so on could give you even 12 hours SOT.
HawkPepper:
As you might notice by the name is the union of the 2 tweaks above, GhostPepper for the Big cluster and HawkTail for the Little cluster, as GhoostPepper is highly optimized for the Big cluster and HawkTail for the Little.
Performance wise should be as good as GhostPepper but in terms of battery should be considerably better.
EOL Profiles:
You can still use them, but I won't give further support for them
HawkTail:
An advanced, modern profile that is both battery efficient and highly performant
It should be as battery efficient as GhostPepper but giving that extra performance for "high-end" games, as that was the only complaint on GhostPepper
Ketrel:
Really battery efficient tweak but only for light usage, when comes to playing games and some heavy multitasking the battery drain will increase exponentially

How do I apply this tweaks?
Go to this post and scroll down till you see the instructions
In case you guys still want to use the old method:
Keep scrolling to the third post, all that you need is there
You can also check this video, as a picture is worth a thousand words - but a video, a million!
My settings don't show up after I reboot! What am I doing wrong??
If you are using [A·K·T] head to this post and scroll to the FAQs over there
If you are using EX Kernel Manager, tap the power icon to the right of the setting after you set it. If you are using a different kernel manager, check with that developer to see how it's implemented. Also, give the kernel manager a few minutes after the device boots. The settings aren't applied immediately, so check back after 3 minutes and you should see the correct values.
Why is one of my CPUs not letting me change a setting or set a certain frequency?
The device may be thermally throttling and had turned off that CPU or limited it. Turn off your device and let it cool for 5 minutes, then try again. (Keep it unplugged and make sure you don't have any apps running that might be trying to use a lot of CPU while the device is off.)
These settings don't work/I'm not getting great screen on time!
You probably haven't disabled touch boost. YOU MUST DISABLE TOUCHBOOST, OR THIS WON'T SAVE YOU JACK SQUAT!!
And keep in mind these tweaks have been tested on certain scenario that is not the same as yours
My kernel editor won't let me set [whatever]Mhz for a value you showed!
Either you have done something wrong, or you're using a kernel/device combo that isn't ElementalX on OP3, for which this guide was written. Follow the instructions in the first post to determine the appropriate settings for your own device!

Community made Profiles:
Here will feature all the profiles that haven't been made by @patalao, @Mostafa Wael or myself
"Nameless" by @Senthil360
All the information and download link in his post.
LINK TO THE POST
Ok then.
First, thanks to @Asiier for making this thread with a more detailed explanation about the profiles, specially for our SD820.
As @Asiier said the profiles may not work the same for everyone because each one of us uses the phone different, so please take that in mind before filling the thread with questions why it works for Y but not for X.
HOW DID I START
I`ve started by releasing the Fusion Beta profile on Ex Kernel Manager thanks to @flar2.
After seeing almost all profiles from Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P threads i released the first version.
It was a fusion(that's why the name Fusion) of several profiles into one, but using the SD820 frequencies for our device.
After all this time and working alongside with great devs like @Asiier, @Mostafa Wael, @Senthil360 and many other users on our Slack channel i've improved my profiles to the point of releasing 2 new ones called FusionB and FusionP.
This time i've worked on them not just for me but for the entire community of our OP3, taking in mind tests maid by users on Slack channel (our private channel for development of profiles and much more).
Profiles
FusionB
This is a balanced profile.
Working alongside with testers and evolving from previous works i've came across with FusionB, a profile intended to be used out of the box with your phone.
You can expect a smooth experience without compromising battery to much.
This is based on the load percentage of the cpu.
Better than stock values, this profile should use almost all frequencies from little cluster(scale up one by one) and use the big cluster to more heavy duties till 1900 frequency jumping to the highest one just when needed.
FusionP
Based on FusionB this profile brings a more "agressive" way to scale frequencies.
It will scale frequencies sooner(regarding load values from cpu) and will use more the big cluster to provide more performance doing the tasks on hands.
Battery should not take a big hit but using heavy demanding tasks you can expect a higher drain.
Note:This aren't the normal profiles used some time ago.
This are beyond governor settings and go up till HMP values.
This will be provided as a single script on AKT script together with all the profiles from @Asiier, @Mostafa Wael and @Senthil360.
Older versions are still available below on hided content but won't be updated(at least some time soon).
Releases:
FusionB and FusionP ( 02 / 01 / 2017 )
Changelog:
New year,new start.
This will be first release.
Next updates will have changelogs accordling.

OLD VERSIONS:
This are the old one's and will still be available on my AFH but won't be updated.
There are 3 categories of profiles.(maybe more will come)
Thunder
This was made thinking only on a very fluid experience
It is set for speed, not battery.
It`s a performance profile and intended more for 3D Gaming and for those apps that needs more "power" to have a fluid experience.
Fusion
Set for a balanced between performance and battery this one should be what most of users want.
It should give you more or less the same performance as stock but with an improvement on battery.
This is what you should expect more or less for the new Fusion(depending on many factors this could be or not achived by you):
Icecold
Set for extreme battery saving this one should suit those wich use the device for low end tasks.
This is an underclocked profile and because of that it isn't suitable for all.

How to use a profile with Ex Kernel Manager App
How to use a profile?
1-You need Ex Kernel Manager App
2-Download the desired profile and rename it removing ". txt"
3-Move the profile to sdcard/ElementalX/gov_profiles.
4-Before using any profile please uncheck all "set on boot" in Ex kernel manager and then reboot.
5-After reboot load the profile and then set on boot the following:
For all the profiles including mine, @Asiier and @Mostafa Wael
On CPU tab:
Governor settings
Input boost frequencie and input boost milliseconds

Introducing...
Shotgun!​
Strategy​This profile's main goal is to provide absolute maximum performance when needed, but lies low quite well. You see, some times I see the CPU hitting some of the high freqs of 1190 while making something as simple as watching YouTube or playing some spotify tracks needlessly, and sometimes I feel it is a bit slower than it should be in things like brute multitasking. Most profiles do aim at bringing a mid-ground to rest on. But with the sensible words of one of my favourite idols Jeremy Clarkson, he says 'Power solves everything' and right he is. By eliminating the mid freqs of the Little cluster and efficiently using some specific frequency steps, you get some power savings by staying on lower freqs as much as possible, and even on brutal tasks you get the job done faster as well, since the CPU will give you all the power to finish the job as fast as it can, and hit back to idle faster. Some may be worried about the power consumption with that turbo policy, but as it can be viewed from @Asiier OP's graphs and info, the difference in the voltage is not that high to make you that worried at all, and even numbers say it. I got a mighty 7.5 hours SOT over more than a day on OOS 3.2.7 with Mono kernel (tbh i used to get that value, but now I get it so easily without any extra battery conservation techniques) and i get better performance as to my usage patterns. As for the big cluster, I chose to stick with the stock Big cluster settings for better efficiency with slight tweaks to make it a little bit more bursty and lie low quicker. @Asiier I must point out something there. In your OP you advised (sort of) to tweak the big Kryos to be acting in a bursty manner. Well that is partially right, coz these big Kryos are no A57s where they heat up badly if engaged, rather their sustainable performance is quite lovely, and the fact that as much as the little cluster being in charge of most of your tasks as the 'main cluster', it is not being relied on as much as it was in the S810, and the big cores take charge of the load much more than it was in the S810. So it is a bit tricky to tweak now, coz you don't want it to be very dormant like the A57 coz that will sacrifice performance and smoothness noticeably.
Also take that into consideration
Mostafa Wael said:
Also another thing that I want to clarify for everyone, what has the largest footprint in rendering some profiles laggy/more battery consuming or very efficient/lagfree is the ROM. You see, when you test the 'nominal' freq for a certain task, it also depends on the ROM. A quick example, if you wanted to see which is the nominal freq for scrolling a simple webpage or even a normal page without lags, by locking the freq to a certain step to test, while you do the scrolling test, there are background processes that inevitably take place whenever you use the phone. A stock OOS for instance potentially has more background processes running than say CM, and CM nightlies specially when they introduce a highly experimental change, can have some more background process (most likely you see the 'CyanogenMod system' ranking highest in your battery consumer apps) than a more stable nightly, and an AOSP may be having even less. A carefully debloated OOS can have less background services going on as well. Not to say a ROM is better than the other, but each ROM behaves uniquely and therefore when you scroll the webpage on say CM, it may be a tad smoother than when doing the same task on OOS with a specific profile, coz the frequency that is set to be used when scrolling the webpage, by any means, actually has to do the work of scrolling AND handle the background services running (be it a needless wakelock or a necessary service for some system apps or user apps, hence changing a CM nightly can actually cause some weird issues)
Now why don't you see this with the stock interactive governor settings? Coz it is like 'generic' settings that obeys these wakelocks and background services, and they will ramp up the freq readily with no 'restrictions', unlike custom settings profiles like mine, where I limit the CPU to use some certain freqs and cap the others, or Asiier's with whatever philosophy he uses.
In my opinion, the ROM has more effect on performance with each profile than a kernel. Of course a certain Kernel can have some battery tweaks or performance tweaks undergone, but they have the same effect as on the stock generic settings, in other words, these optimisations can already be felt even on stock settings and hence I sort of exclude it from the equation, since your target is to improve upon the stock governor settings

I suggest as always to turn off touchboost and use low input boost freqs for more time as always, but if you feel the need to use Touchboost or increase the input boost parameters, no problem at all. My usage is typing, reading, gaming for an hour or maybe slightly more, lots and lots of YouTube streaming and video playback, Spotify, WhatsApp and Telegram, XDA checking of course and some off-screen music playback. This profile has been tested on OOS 3.2.7 + Mono/Boeffla kernel, Arter97's CM13 + Arter97's custom kernel, OrionOS 11 Oct with its stock kernel

Changelist​
Shotgun v1.0
initial release
Shotgun v1.6
-> eliminated more freqs for both little and big clusters, big cluster should be a little bit more dormant. Should be much
smoother AND more battery friendly
Shotgun v1.7.6
-> should be working fine without ANY Touchboost/Input boost/Bob boost settings (yes set input_boost freq to 0 freq for
litte and big cores anf for 0 ms to turn it off)
-> more smooth and battery friendly
>>>Shotgun is EOL after v1.7.6<<<
Burnout PR​ -> Burnout PR1, make sure to apply the gears here
-> Burnout PR2 Golden!. No gears needed, this is the absolute performance you can get! Gamers be cautious, this is NOT intended for gaming at all. Heavy browsing might be a bit warmer than your taste too. I have added some changes that work well with AOSP/CM LineageOS?/CAF Nougat but it seems that OB9 does NOT work as well as I expected.
Legacy: (imo Burnout PR2 moved leaps after that, but i never delete my trials since we are not the same
An intermediate profile has been cooked as well, dubbed as Burnout_Extreme. Learn more about it here
People who fail to automatically load the settings after booting even though the slider has been set to apply the settings on boot please notify me. Hope it does not fail you! Big thanks to @weeka89 and everybody here on this thread and the slack group for testing, couldn't have been that great or refined without your help and time, very much appreciated :good:

Yes, but you need custom kernel and app for changing tunables.
No custom kernel needed.
Just needs Interactive governor wich all of them brings.

True. But there are also schedulers (zen) tuned in your profiles that are not found in stock kernel?
Yes, but if there`s no other tweaks in the kernel like the stock one it will only change governor settings and all other settings will remain untuched.
So I just need EX Kernel Manager app and load profile and good to go?

That`s it.
Just load the profile you want and enjoy it.
Pretty intresting. What values do u lads recommend for touchboost? Im on hawkpeper.
You could try 1036 to start.
If it runs well try with a lower value,if not rump up a bit between 1113/1228 for little cluster and 1112/1248 for big cluster.
Which kernel do you use daily? Personally been using Elementalx but from what I can see Blu seems to be a bit better with FairPark which I use daily
Great information! I look forward to seeing what comes of this. Now if we can just quantify load during certain things like browsing and other scenarios, that would give your values per freq more weight. Now I am unsure but I remember that Linaro used some tools** to work out Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) for the 5x. Would be cool to gather such info and tie it in with your current findings.
** I believe they made changes in the kernel to quantify load and giving values a weight. But I would think there was more needed to create and EAS profile of the SD808 processor.

It`s hard to know the load of different scenarios because they are constanly changing.
We can estimate it but it won`t be very accurate.
For example:
Loading a web page full of pictures/videos will take a high load instead of a web page just with text.

[10][KERNEL][06.12.2019] Kirisakura-Harmony-PIE 10.1.0 [3.18.140]

Hey guys and girls,
I don´t have time to maintain 2 threads. Look in the Pixel XL forums.
Link is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...kernel-0-1-t3554330/post70974321#post70974321
So this post will be dedicated to information about EAS in general.
here is a good summary which also goes into detail regarding sched and schedutil.
Another amazing write up about alucardsched by a talented new dev @joshuous:
This is what I understand from tracing the Alucardsched code. I apologise if my understanding is incorrect.
Firstly, next frequency selection with Schedutil (very simple):
Code:
next_freq = 1.25 * Max_freq * current_util / max_util;
Now, here's a quick overview of one cycle of frequency selection in Alucardsched:
1. You have two key extra tunables: PUMP_INC_STEP and PUMP_DEC_STEP
2. Current utilisation here refers to the system's current demand. It is calculated using:
Code:
curr_util = (util * (100 + tunables->boost_perc)) / max_utilisation
The "util" is a value determined by the EAS scheduler.
3. Target load here refers to what processor is currently supplying. It is calculated using:
Code:
target_load = (current_freq * 100) / max_freq;
4. The key idea is to ensure that supply satisfies demand. That is, target load ≈ current load.
5. If target_load <= current_load (too little supply), then we want to increase frequencies to match the system’s load. For Alucardsched, frequency is increased by jumping up PUMP_INC_STEP number of steps in the OPP table. (By OPP table, I refer to the available frequencies that you can switch to)
6. If target_load > current_load (too much supply), then we want to decrease frequencies to match the system’s load. For Alucardsched, frequency is decreased by jumping down PUMP_DEC_STEP number of steps in the OPP table.
7. Do note that Alucardsched jumps several frequency steps, compared to Schedutil and Interactive which try to jump immediately to a calculated next frequency. In this way, Alucardsched doesn't care about the specific value of the next speed. It's like driving a car, and deciding to increase gears by several steps instead of deciding to jump immediately to a specific gear.
Extra Tunables
FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS
PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ
PUMP_DEC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ
Sometimes you want the "pumping" behaviour to behave differently at lower and higher frequencies. FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS can be seen as the mark that divides the low and high frequencies. If the current frequency is less than FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS, the number of frequency skips will be PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ and PUMP_DEC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ instead of the usual PUMP_INC_STEP and PUMP_DEC_STEP.
How is it used? If your frequency is low (lower than FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS) and your system demand is high, you ideally want to boost frequency speeds quickly. This is when PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ kicks in. PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ is usually (and should be) a larger value than PUMP_INC_STEP. When your frequency is high (higher than FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS) and your system demand is high, you don't want to be jumping so many steps up otherwise you will hit max frequencies too quickly (overkill). I'm pretty sure you can figure out how PUMP_DEC_STEP and PUMP_DEC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ works after having read this paragraph
Tldr;
Schedutil: simpler
Alucardsched: more tunable
Code:
IF CURRENT_FREQ < FREQ_RESPONSIVENESS:
PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ and PUMP_DEC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ are used
ELSE:
PUMP_INC_STEP and PUMP_DEC_STEP are used
PUMP_INC_STEP_AT_MIN_FREQ should be larger than PUMP_INC_STEP.
Note: There is however a potential problem (if you may call it one) with Alucardsched: just like Interactive you rely almost entirely on heuristics (trial and error) to control your frequency jumps instead of letting the system choose it for you, like in Schedutil. In that way, Alucardsched detracts from the goal of Schedutil to provide a simple frequency choosing mechanism. Without the proper tuning to meet your specific usage, it is likely that your frequencies will overshoot or undershoot past the needed load on Alucardsched (just like in Interactive). I would recommend that you play with the tunables to see what works best for you.
Here is information about energy-dcfc (Dynamic Capacity and Frequency Capping):
This new governor is based on schedutil. It uses target_load variables as thresholds to let the governor decide when to cap the frequencies for both clusters. These variables are called "load1_cap" and "load2_cap". Load1_cap corresponds to target_load1 meaning anything that is below target_load1, it caps using load1_cap. Anything above target_load1 and below target_load2, use load2_cap. Anything above target_load 2 and the maximum frequency will be used.
As a result of this behaviour, bit shift value must be set to 1. Anything higher than 1 and frequency scaling will be extremely slow. This is because the lower the maximum frequency, the lower the next frequency target is because the frequency range is being limited.
AS OF V009: The governor has now incorporated @Kyuubi10 's schedutil dynamic formula change. When load is below target_load1 it will use add bitshift in the formula. If load is above target_load1 but below target_load2, it won't use any bit shifting at all. If load is more than target_load2, it will subtract bitshift in the formula. This has proven to be very efficient with a touchboost-like behaviour when scrolling (Up to the capped frequency of this governor), then steady performance in between, and on heavy workloads it will not just stay on maximum frequency, in fact it will hover around 1.3-1.9GHz to ensure thermals are good as well as battery endurance.
This governor is aimed with maximum efficiency in mind. Do not expect outstanding performance with this governor.
helix_schedutil explained by @Kyuubi10
To understand Helix_schedutil you must first understand the original schedutil algorithm.
Here it is:
next_freq = maxfreq + (maxfreq >> bitshift) * util/maxcapacity
Explanation:
The most obvious difference of this algorithm is that it moves away from the idea of scaling frequencies up or down which were used in previous generations of governors.
Instead the aim of the above algorithm is to calculate the most appropriate frequency for the TOTAL CPU load.
NOTE: This is TOTAL load on CPU, not just load for the current frequency step as Interactive used to calculate with.
Now, for you numberphiles like myself that like understanding algorithms... Let's break it down:
"util/maxcapacity = Load."
The above creates a percentage value in decimal format (80% = 0.8) which represents the TOTAL load on CPU.
the algorithm now reads the following way:
next_freq = maxfreq + (maxfreq >> bitshift) * load
"maxfreq + (maxfreq >> bitshift)"
Essentially the aim of the above is to ensure that next_freq is always a little higher than the exact value needed to cover the load.
Bitshift: (paraphrasing @ZeroInfinity) in programming the ">>" mathematical function allows for shifting the binary values towards the direction of the arrows by "N" times.
In this case it is towards the right.
The relationship between "N" and the calculation in the "()" is as follows:
Bitshift = 1 = maxfreq/2
Bitshift = 2 = maxfreq/4
Bitshift = 3 = maxfreq/8
If the "+()" didn't exist in the algorithm, the chosen frequency would be exactly enough to cover the load.
If load is 0.6, aka 60%, all you need is a frequency = 60% of max frequency.
This would be bad since it doesn't leave any capacity/bandwidth leftover for inevitable bumps in load, nor space for EAS itself to run. Thus inevitably creating lags.
To keep a bit of free bandwidth you add "(maxfreq >> bitshift)".
Finally the problem I encountered, if bitshift = 2, then the result of the algorithm is that any load above 0.8 will result in a next_freq HIGHER than maxfreq. - This is your tipping point. As any load higher than 80% will wake up a new CPU.
Which means you have still about 20% of the CPU's max capacity being unused. Such a CPU is only 80% efficient.
Therefore by increasing bitshift to 3, the algorithm reads:
"maxfreq+(maxfreq/8)*load = next_freq"
This way you can use 89% of capacity before reaching max frequency of the CPU.
With bitshift=4 it reads:
"maxfreq+(maxfreq/16)*load = next_freq"
This allows you to use up to 94% total CPU load before reaching max frequency.
While this is great for improving efficiency at the higher frequencies, it doesn't leave enough bandwidth when calculating lower frequencies, and creates lag when load spikes at lower frequencies.
Update to the explanation:
After being inspired by the concept of @ZeroInfinity's new governor - Energy-DCFC, I decided to carry out a couple of tests on HTC 10 using variations of Helix_Schedutil.
The focus was stress-testing by increasing the current frequency load above 100%. (AKA Use up all of the bandwidth of the current frequency step.)
After the testing me and Zero worked on this new version of Helix_Schedutil.
The current behaviour of the governor is the following:
- Boost frequencies when load is below Target_Load1. (Boost can be increased by DECREASING bit_shift1 value.)
- Between Target_Loads there is no bit_shift at all. The governor just uses the following algorithm instead - (max_freq*util/max = next_freq)
- Loads higher than Target_Load2 will be THROTTLED. Bit_Shift2 here is subtracted rather than added. (Throttle effect can be increased by DECREASING bit_shift2 value.)
The result is that low freqs have spare bandwidth to avoid lags, middle frequencies leave no extra bandwidth at all, while higher frequencies are throttled to save battery.
Another focus of the governor update is to reduce overhead as much as possible. This results in a very responsive governor which isn't overly demanding on battery life.
Schedtune.boost values recommended for use with this governor:
Top_App: 5
Foreground: -50
Background: -50
Global: -50
Energy-DCFC is still recommended for those who prefer battery life over performance, but if you prefer greater performance then this governor can be used without making you feel guilty about wasting battery.
correction a misconception:
Some people describe tipping point as the load threshold which the governor uses to decide whether to ramp up or down.
While if you look into the behaviour of the governor it may appear that it behaves in such a way, it is technically incorrect.
As I mentioned previously this new algorithm moves away from the behaviour of legacy governor algorithms which focus on the current frequency load.
This governor does no ramping up or down.
It isn't even aware of the current frequency load, as it only knows the load relative to max capacity.
The misconception appears based on a property of the algorithm that results in a consistent load at any chosen frequency. This is a coincidental result of the algorithm, even though the algorithm is completely unaware of it.
Tipping point is in fact the load percentage at which the CPU reaches max frequency and any increase in load forces it to wake up a new core
here is some Information about pwrutil governor:
This new governor is based on schedutil.
A much simpler yet very effective governor based on schedutil. All this changes is the calculation to get the next frequency. Rather than using bit shift to calculate tipping point and what not, we don't use it at all. This is much much more efficient if you use my program called "schedutilCalculator" to calculate what the next frequency is. For example, a load of 25% with a max freq of 2150400 will get 500MHz as next frequency. A load of 50% will get 1GHz as next frequency. A load of 75% will get 1.5-1.6GHz as next frequency. A load of 100% will get 2.15GHz as next frequency. You can see the lower the load, the much lower the frequency selection will be, but the higher the load and the higher the frequency selection is. So it can go from a very low powered state with 50% load and under, to a high performance state from 75% load and above.
Includes a tunable called "utilboost" which is basically a load multiplier - it makes load higher than it is perceived by the governor, thus making next frequency selection higher. Remember utilisation does not equal load. The equation of calculating load is util / max capacity of a CPU (which should be 1024). So 512 / 1024 = 0.5 (50% load).
UTIL BOOST IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED WITH SCHEDTUNE.BOOST AT THE SAME TIME! EITHER USE ONE OR THE OTHER OR ELSE PERFORMANCE WILL BE OVERKILL AND BATTERY LIFE WILL DRAIN MUCH FASTER!!!
Util boost is supposed to be a replacement of schedtune.boost. schedtune.boost applies boosting to both clusters, whereas util boost allows boosting per-cluster so users can have much more control.
how to gather logs:
There are several apps that can do this process for you, Here is one: PlayStore: SysLog
And here is another: PlayStore: Andy Log (ROOT)
ramopps: is an oops/panic logger that writes its logs to RAM before the system
crashes. It works by logging oopses and panics in a circular buffer. Ramoops
needs a system with persistent RAM so that the content of that area can
survive after a restart.
logcat: the logoutput of the Android system
kernel log: (kmsg / dmesg): the kernel messages
Additionally there's the last_kmsg which is a dump of the kernel log until the last shutdown.
radio log: the log outpur ot your System / BB / RIL communication

ramopps:Some Documentation on Ramopps
Normal Logcat:
Radio Logcat:
Ramoops:
Via adb:
adb shell su -c cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops > kmsg.txt
Via terminal on phone:
su
cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops > /sdcard/kmsg.txt
Kernel Log:
Kernel Log:
adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log
Last_Kmsg:NOTE:
New location of last_kmsg on Android 6.0 and above: /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
adb shell su -c "cat /proc/last_kmsg" > last_kmsg.log
NOTES:
-v time will include timestamps in the logcats
-d will export the complete log.
If you want to save a continuous log you can remove the -d parameter - then you need to cancel the logging process via CTRL+C.
To export a continuous kernel log use adb shell su -c "cat /proc/kmsg" > dmesg.log (and cancel it via CTRL+C again).

You can find the option in the sector gestures. Just enable it and you are set.
Audio options are under sound.
The sound for bluetooth can only be altered via software mods like viper4android.
If you really care about sound quality you should use wired headphones. But the quality for bluetooth may be enhanced by default.
hey guys and girls,
I have a new kernel now in testing. If I have no Issues I will post it in a few hours.
I added the possibility to use sdcardfs. big thanks to @DespairFactor here, he provided some help.
you just have to add ro.sys.sdcardfs=true to your build.prop
I tested it for two days now and encountered no issue. Using it may improve I/O performance.
here is some reading, in case you are interested:
https://www.xda-developers.com/divi...les-fuse-replacement-will-reduce-io-overhead/
I also added two new governors developed by @alucard_24, called alucardsched and darknesssched.
They are both based of on EAS. You may use them as an alternative to sched and schedutil.
I think alucardsched is more battery friendly. But I had quite a few stutters with it. Maybe you guys can give feedback on this.

APP ❯ ROOT ❯❯ Subcore - Adaptive Daemon - v1.0

Code:
#include "std/disclaimer.h"
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this software

*/
What Is It
Subcore is an root daemon that utilizes various sensors in the device to systematically apply different usage profiles. The goal is to achieve a balance based on the user's workload, rather than relying on the CPU governor to make bias assumptions about the current workload.
How Does It Work
Subcore reads and writes to system files on the device to determine which profile to place the device into. These interfaces include:
• Active CPU load
• Available CPU cores
• Available CPU governors
• Available CPU frequencies
• Available GPU load

User Prediction Algorithm
Without some form of user prediction, a game could begin to lag for a moment during a loading scene, where the load requirement dips. To counteract this, Subcore implements a user prediction algorithm that attempts to maintain fluidity in heavy applications, even during moments of low load. It works by determining repetitive load averages, and scanning less often when the load is consistent. This results in far less lag spikes when playing intensive games.
Power Aware Algorithm
Since Subcore is a low-level (yet userspace) tool, it has direct access to battery statistics. When charging (and screen on), Subcore will boost your performance to the highest performing profile to ensure the user experiences UI/UX conformity, disregarding the energy limitation. Additionally, when Subcore detects the device is at 15% battery or less, it will half the loadavg, which means it requires twice as much CPU load to enter the next profile. Likewise, at 5% battery or less, Subcore locks the device into the lowest profile, which is optimized for deep sleep or idle, sacrificing a chunk of performance to battery. This setting can be disabled by toggling "Disable Power Aware" in the Subcore GUI app.
RUPG - Realtime Unique Profile Generation
Subcore implements a new concept that I call RUPG. What makes Subcore special is the fact that it is compatible with essentially all devices. At runtime, Subcore initially gathers heaps of data to generate numerous device-specific profiles based on various factors. These generated profiles are heavily optimized for each device, so that each user achieves the most efficient software experience for the available hardware/software provided. These profiles are then saved in memory and are marked for deletion when Subcore exits. Some examples where RUPG is utilized is in the generation of device specific LMK offsets (minfree). Each device has a different RAM size, so Subcore must manually calculate the optimum LMK minfree sizes for each offset vector (VERY_LIGHT --> VERY_AGGRESSIVE). Subcore also utilizes RUPG in the production of the governor tunables. Each device has a different SOC CPU frequency table, which must be accounted for. These profiles are generated automatically by the binary, so the user doesn't need to tune anything themselves.
Race To Idle
Research proves that when completing a task, less resources are eaten when boosting to a slightly higher frequency for a short time, rather than a low frequency for longer. Subcore takes full advantage of this theory and applies special tunables for each profile. Each Subcore profile has a different goal to achieve. The UI/UX is the main profile that takes full advantage of RTI. This profile tunes the governor to stay at minimum frequencies until a small workload is requested. It then jumps up a frequency level to complete the task faster, then it instantly shoots back to minimum frequency if all other tasks are completed. If a heavy task comes up, but not quite heavy enough to trigger a profile change, the UI/UX profile will handle it by jumping another 1-2 frequency levels. Finishing the work requested, the loadavg will quickly shoot down and the governor will return to idle, saving battery yet increasing performance; it sounds impossible, but in practice, it works better than expected.
Performance == Battery
It sounds impossible. How can an app save power, but also make my device perform better? Here's why it works. Think about battery and performance as independent spectrums. Just because you have one doesn't mean you can't have the other. By working efficiently, Subcore can actually improve performance on some devices. This is because Subcore doesn't just tune your device for battery, it also applies VM tweaks, MM tweaks, Block tweaks, and much more. During my testing phase, many of my testers were telling me how Subcore strangely caused some tasks to perform better than usual. This included UI/UX smoothness, app start times, Camera HDR rendering, file IO (such as zipping a large file), and some other tasks. I realized that the tweaks that Subcore applies improve battery by improving performance in areas that don't affect battery as much. For example, something as basic as IO readahead will cause a marginal impact on battery, but the Block performance benefit that comes with a higher readahead can cause IO tasks to finish much faster. Applying the concept of Race To Idle, the disk performance benefit helps the device finish its current task faster, allowing the CPUs to reach deep sleep sooner, and in turn, providing better battery.
Hyper Optimizing
Subcore is written in native C++. In fact, the Android app for Subcore just forks the included binary based on the device architecture. Since Subcore is written in C++, it is light, fast, and pretty tiny. It is also entirely independent from Java code entirely. Once it's started, the Subcore app can be killed fully (even force quit), and the daemon will persist, since it is the parent of its own process. Using `top`, you can see Subcore isn't even on the list. Every single line of the C++ code is written to utilize the least amount of memory, and run as efficiently as possible. It utilizes C++11 inlines, uint*_t, -Ofast, --strip-all, custom built NDK clang toolchains from source, and far more optimization. Subcore includes C++STL in the binary as well, so it is portable and is contained all in one binary. Subcore is also compiled in ARM, ARM64, x86, x86_64. MIPS is not supported at this time.
Automatic Backup/Restore Algorithm
Since Subcore writes to a large portion of your sysctl, many of your kernel manager tweaks would be written over until they are reapplied on the next boot. Luckily, I spent the extra time to implement an automatic backup and restore algorithm to save the device's current settings on the start of Subcore. On sending a SIGINT or SIGTERM to Subcore, it will restore the user settings before exiting. This way, you don't need to reboot each time you stop Subcore. NOTE: If you toggle Start On Boot to Subcore, there is a high probability that it will start before your kernel manager's apply on boot will. This means that Subcore won't backup the proper data, so when you stop Subcore, your kernel manager tweaks won't be applied. To solve this, either reduce the timeout for starting on boot for your kernel manager, or start Subcore manually after each boot.
Results
When you start using Subcore, it'll feel too good to be true. But stats don't lie. I will provide quotes from my testers, along with screenshots of my testers and my battery life improvement. I urge everyone that tries Subcore to post your results, along with the device model you are using. If you have any questions about how Subcore works, or if you have any questions at all, please contact me. I'd be more than happy to address your concerns.

I won't be releasing any more on XDA, but if Android Police or Android Authority choose to sponsor my app, they will give people up to 20 promo codes.
Pleasure to test and 1 of the 1st apps I install in my daily flashing routine ??
Improving performance on GSI ROMs now I've noticed but only on Phh releases. Thank you again
I fixed the issue where some devices would get incredibly laggy. The cause for this was that my algorithm for determining the screen sleep state was faulty. The system would deliver inaccurate information for the variable I was tracking, so I switched to a new (updated) variable (specifically measured_fps. It is 0.0 when the screen is off). This should fix the lag for the Pixel 2 XL as well as some other devices.
I sincerely apologize to those affected, and I ask that you give Subcore another chance. I am passionate about this project, and I want my users to be satisfied. If you'd like a refund, email me and I can try to figure something out. Thank you.

I used it for different things like casual Apps and some gaming but the Frequenz is still 1066Mhz and some Times i had little lags and device get hot. But when you say its normal i will tryit out for longer . But on thing i can say battery is very nice
Hello,
I am using S8 (Exynos) with velocity kernel. Do I need to enable any other settings in the app too? Also it doesn't look like it changes all values such as LMK. I checked that with MTweaks but didn't changed settings there ofc.
Also I was wondering if disabling debugging and IO stats would break the algorithm.

No, you're good to go. LMK is not tuned when memory awareness is disabled (which should be on Samsung ROMs).
On the kernel side, disabling debugging and IO stats won't break Subcore. It doesn't use those.

Interactive governor highly efficient profile for SmartPack Kernel - Android N/O/P

Hello all.
After about a month of researching and testing with the Galaxy S5, I'm finally happy with my SmartKernel profile, with the interactive governor carefully tuned, using known resources and countless trials and errors, as well as other various tweaks, like VM and I/O scheduler, and decided to publish on it's own thread.
The main resources I've used for the Interactive governor tuning includes the well known:
Android Modders Guide;
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for Nexus 5X; and it's twin
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for HTC Evo 4G.
First of all, this tweaks should be a little sensible to the ROM, kernel, apps, and other tweaks your using. Like, I just found out that Havoc pie style quicktile settings use way more juice then if I turn it off and go back to Oreo default. Bellow you will see the apps I mainly crafted this profile in mind.
For reference: I have a klte with latest Oreo Havoc installed, nano OpenGapps, Magisk and the SmartPack kernel. For apps I use Facebook lite, cause the normal app is just a big hog, whatsapp and instagram social apps. Chrome. I don't use the Google App or Greenify(uninstall/delete velvet). And play lots of games like Clash Royale, Star Wars Force Arena and Arena of Valor. BetterBatteryStats.
And a lot of random apps that normally don't stay on the background.
DESCRIPTION
On the SmartPack manager profile:
. HIghly Efficient Interactive Governor Tunables (most important part);
. No Touchboost or any other boost, only the governor dictates to CPU in which clock it should to be;
. Overclock disabled, but can be enabled at you will;
. No underclock, I do undervolt my CPU but this you need to find your specific device numbers, mine won't cut;
. LazyPlug Hotplug with all 4 cores on all the time (better performance while using and battery savings while at idle);
. I/O Schedulers: ZEN (the L-Speed profile complement this part, with it's scheduler tunables);
. READ-AHEAD internal 1024kb (for 16GB or more) and external 512 kb (for my 8GB SDCard, adjust accordingly to yours SD Card size conform described here
. Adreno Idler disabled: it doesn't make any effect;
. Speaker Driver Leakage disabled and Boeffla Sound enabled with 0 gain as it does make a difference, at least with ViperFX magisk module installed;
. Screen minimum RGB set to 1 (0 won't stick), for a darker dark on our AMOLED, plus some tweaks;
. Led blinking fade enable;
. VM tweaks: dirty_ratio 30 and dirty_background_ratio 15; for minor battery improvement, with a perceptible lower termperature/cpu usage and almost imperceptible performance hit;
. VM tweaks: page-cluster 1; for better multitasking/memory management
. VM tweaks: oom_dump_tasks 0; disable depuration of dumping tasks, less cpu needed.
. LMK values: 32 48 64 128 176 208 (MBs)
L-Speed Profile
. Logging and I/O stats disabled;
. Animations speed set to 0.25x;
. System battery save trigger at 20%;
If you need to provide or read logs, enable logging and i/o stats back on l speed; i/o stats and oom_dump_tasks 1 on smartpack manager
INSTALLATION
Unzip the attached file and import with SmartPack Manager:
The attached profile should be imported, applied and marked as to run "On Boot" to make effect. It will only work with SmartPack Manager and Kernels for both Nougat and Oreo, maybe even Pie. Just try it, and report back. If you wanna fine tune it. You need to use an app or enable the "show cpu clocks" option if your rom supports it (like Havoc, RR and many more), and monitor at which frequencies the lags happens, while doing the jobs you want the CPU to be efficient at. And mainly tweak the target_load according, maybe above_high_speed delays of 1,7GHz clock and above. You need to read the guides more in-dept too see exactly how to do it, but I'll paste here the most important parts on how to tweak this settings more to your Galaxy S5, with your particularly apps and ROM:
soniCron said:
Optimize Idle Frequency
Now that you've got the base configuration, we need to tweak it so that the CPU stays at your efficient idle frequency (384Mhz in this case) without spontaneously jumping when your phone is actually idle. To do this, open a CPU monitor that displays the current core frequencies (I like CoolTool, but you can use what you like as long as it doesn't significantly impact the CPU use--you're best off using a passive monitor and checking the results after 30-60 seconds of no activity), watch the frequencies and see how often they go above your efficient idle frequency when you're not doing anything at all, and adjust the following:
timer_rate - If your idle frequency is not being exceeded much, adjust this downward in increments of 5000 until it is, then increase it by 5000. If your idle frequency is being exceeded often, adjust this upward in increments of 5000 until your CPU primarily stays at or below your desired idle frequency.
above_highspeed_delay - Only if your timer_rate has matched or exceeded 50000 and still won't stay at or below your desired idle frequency most of the time, set timer_rate to 50000 and adjust the "20000" portion of the value upwards in increments of 5000 until the idle frequency has stabilized.
The lower these two values are, the more snappy/lag free your system will be. So try to get them as low as possible without the idle frequency being exceeded too much, as this inversely affects the snappiness and efficiency of your phone when you're not doing anything. Lower = snappier but uses more CPU when you're not doing anything (such as reading a webpage); higher = less snappy but stays in a power saving state more often reducing CPU use when you're not interacting with the device. These are the most critical in determining your idle power savings, so keep that in mind if you want the most battery life!
Enhance Task Responsiveness
Now use the efficiency and nominal clock rate correlations you made for your master clock rate list in the section above and adjust your frequencies to suit your usage patterns. For example, I had web page scrolling as my 710Mhz/864Mhz rates, so I will open a web page and scroll and see how everything feels. If it feels sluggish, I will increase all the references to "710000" in both above_highspeed_delay and target_loads upwards to the next available clock rate until that task is smooth. What you are looking for is constant poor/sluggish performance when the task you're testing for is using its highest CPU use. If the task becomes sluggish/stuttery as it winds down (such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop), we will address that next, so do not take that behavior into consideration as you adjust these values! If the task is smooth until (or after) it slows down, then you have reached your optimal clock rate and can move on.
If you need to exceed your nominal clock rate for a particular task, first measure it again just to be sure you had it correct. If you did indeed have it correct, leave it at your nominal clock rate and adjust the value after the colon next to the task frequency you're tuning downward in increments of 5. For example, if my setting of "864000:80" is still not sufficient, I will adjust it first to "864000:75", then "864000:70", and so on until the task is smooth. However, it almost certainly won't come to this, but if you reach ":50" and the task still isn't performing how you want, set it back to ":80" and increase the clock step once more, then decrease the ":80" until it is smooth.
Do the same for each other frequency in your master clock rate list until you are satisfied. If you have chosen to use more than 2 primary clock rates, add them and use ":##" values between the two surrounding frequency values.
Fix Stuttering
Now that you have adjusted your frequencies for optimal high CPU use in each given task, you may notice some stuttering as the task winds down. (Such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop.) If this bothers you, you can tweak this at the expense of some (minor) battery life by adjusting min_sample_time up in increments of 5000 until you are satisfied.
If you have exceeded a value of 100000 for the min_sample_time setting and still are not satisfied, change it back to 40000 and increase (and re-optimize) your idle frequency by one step. This will impact battery life more, but less than if you were to keep increasing the value of min_sample_time.
Adjust High Load Clock Rates
You're almost done! Now you can leave everything as is and be satisfied with your amazing, buttery smooth, snappy experience, or you can optionally tweak things further to either increase the responsiveness of high load tasks (such as loading image previews in Gallery) or increase battery life somewhat.
Adjust the final delay value in above_highspeed_delay to suit your needs. The default ("150000") means that the CPU load at the highest set frequency (default "1026000") will have to be sustained for 150ms before it allows the load to go above that frequency. Increasing this value will prevent the CPU from reaching higher frequencies (which may be unnecessary) as often, saving battery life. This will come at the expense of burst-type high CPU load tasks. Reducing it will allow the CPU to reach higher frequencies more often, at the expense of battery life. However, adjusting this is probably unnecessary, as it will most likely not yield any perceptible difference in performance. It is recommended to leave this value at its default.

Besides CPU Voltage and Battery, all tabs on the manager are modified and tuned to achieve best performance, while having best efficiency possible. Is not a battery or a performance, but a efficiency profile.
Refer to this thread if you wanna undervolt your device with a well know secure margin for the CPU Snapdragon 801 2.5ghz MSM8974AC, which our Galaxy S5 contains:
[GUIDE] Snapdragon 805/801/800/600 Clock & Voltage (PVS bin) guide by HD2Owner I've managed to achieve much lower voltages then PSV15+ devices (refer to the sheets).
I also attached the excel spreadsheet I've made with all this thread information, both governor guide equations on target loads, undervolting guide findings, and made my own base calculations and settings. Feel free to use, modify, and discuss it with me. You will see that I based the most efficient clocks in an original thought about which ones are the most efficient, instead of plotting the differentials between voltages of each clocks, I did plotted the difference of the clock divided by voltage, which on itself should be how much voltage 1 mhz uses, on each clock rate. So, the higher the number, more speed each clock rate give us by voltage used. It's kinda complicated and idk if I explained it the right way, and even if it really makes sense under scrutiny, but I couldn't think why not myself, so, any inputs are welcome.
I own my thanks to all the following XDA fellows, without them, I could not have achieved this:
@sunilpaulmathew for the SmartPack Kernel which is the only kernel for the S5 that can turn that damned MPDecision off and SmartPack Manager;
@soniCron for both of the governos Guides;
@Saber for the Android Modders Guide which is immensely helpful.

221118 smartpack profile:
. Reverted new SmartPack Kernel v14r4 changes to Virtual Memory back to original default configurations, if you've have had reboots this should fix it, please report back here and/or the kernel's thread;
. More changes to Interactive governor aiming to optimize high load scenarios according to the profile philosophy:
. above_hispeed_delay 20000 1190400:60000 1728000:74000 1958400:82000 2265600:120000 -> 20000 1190400:60000 1728000:74000 1958400:80000 2265600:105000;
. Enabled fast charge configurations, set at 1200 mhA as I found it's a good charging speed without heating the phone too much on my hot city, nothing you can't change at your will.
241218 smartpack profile:
. Restored missing min_sample_time tunable since 081018 profile
. dirty_ratio 30 -> 25
. General cleanup
. Tested on Pie
@justjr
Nice work friend. Great to see that your finally open a place to share your findings. In my opinion, your profile should work on any klte device with minimum kernel support. I haven't seen much SmartPack specific stuff in your profile except some hotplug related things. So, if you make it as a shell script instead of KA/SP-Kernel Manager profile, it shall be beneficial for everyone. Anyway, as usual, I'll kang your changes to my kernel default profile

I think this profile should work on original Kernel Adiutor, or any fork of it, shouldn't it?
It should work on any other kernel if the changes really stick, and uses the same paths, but MPDecision will mess with frequencies all the time. It would still follow the governor tunables anyway, but it will interfere with it and in the end will not gain too much efficiency out of it.
Actually I only state it is for SmartPack specifically because of the fact that is the only one I can disable MPDecision on our device, and because I included all the tweaks other then just governor tweaks.
Actually I'm kinda lazy right now, but I could do a shell script if any demand for it shows up.

Well, official KA (free version) doesn't allow to import profiles (paid feature), but all other mods does.
and yes, it is supposed to work on every klte device as long as the sysfs paths exist. Means it should work on any custom Kernel with lazyplug support (most of the other stuff are actually included in the stock kernel itself). Of course, the default settings provided by the kernel devs might conflict. e.g., as you said, MPDecision, although the line "stop mpdecison" in your profile will disable it. By the way, I'm not the only one who disabled mpdecision and relay on other hotplugs in this klte community

Oh, really? Which one? I must had missed it. I've tested all kernels I could find. At least all the remotely up-to-date, like venom, tuned and boeffla kernels. I didn't see any option to change hotplugs on any. There were hotplug profiles, to keep cores online and stuff, but everyone of them keep changing min and max frequency at MPDecision will.

Boeffla and Venom largely depends on MPDecision. However, as I remember correctly (on the basis of the code review, not from my experience, I never used it by myself), the Tuned kernel by @fbs disabled MPDecision upon booting to work well with its own Tuned hotplug.

I tested it too. And although he claims he uses hes own hotplug, it behave the same as boeffla and venom, it has the same profiles, and it does changes min and max freq out of my control.

no it doesn't change any freqs
it works by disabling or enabling cores, just that.
if any cpu reaches the maximum frequency, it enables one more core (as the other ones are already giving their best)
if any cpu reaches the minimum frequency too many times, it disables it (as it doesn't seem to be needed)
so in any moment you can have all 4 cores enabled or only 1. even with display on or off, it doesn't matter
mpdecision will NEVER let you use just 1 core, and it doesn't react as fast: battery hog

Alright, sorry then, it seems my memories got clouded or something, as I've tested it about a month ago. I might go back any day just to test that. Thanks for giving us one more kernel option! :good:
UPDATE OP WITH
Description
Changelogs
New profile 011118, changelog:
. Few governor tweaks
. Removed Virtual Memory and LMK tweaks, let it on default or use L-Speed to optimize, it does a much better job then me
Also uploading the L-Speed profile I use so those who want to use it like I do, but you can choose any VM and LMK profile that fits your needs on the app. Just don't use the governor tuner because it will mess with my tunings, and l-speed governor tuning is a generic one for all devices, VM and LMK is OK to use generic tweaks, but not on governor.
@sunilpaulmathew I took a look at l-speed virtual memory and lmk profiles and they make incredible sense, take a look yourself, they may be what you need to put o that spectrum profiles, because above all they are device independent and do make a noticeable difference.
Is it valide for stock rom (6.0)?

What kernel? It should work if the kernel have lazyplug or alucard hotplug, if is the late you just have to enable it.
Updates
SmartPack Manager Profile 031118:
. Governor tunning: better high load management;
. Included back only 3 sane VM configurations, no more freezing, better cooling (less cpu needed, while performance barely took a hit)
. Sane LMK configurations, kills apps not being used faster, retain some multitasking while not let it slow down the device
LSpeed Profile 031118:
. Removed most tweaks, only left minor stuff, refer to the OP.
L Speed profile is not really needed, SmartPack will do 99% of the job.
OP: descriptions for both profiles updated.
New profile.
I returned to Nougat, RR 5.8.5, same configs works awesomely and the device is cooler/faster then with Oreo. But still will works the same with both N/O and even Pie, not tested.
I also reinstalled Hearthstone as a high load app so I could tune the governor better for it, and up to 1490 MHz nothing is changed, and changed a bit target_loads and above_hispeed of the clocks above it so Hearthstone (and any other high load apps, or, using split screen with youtube) runs smoother/without lags and tasks like opening an app will finish faster, and also go back to a lower clock faster because of that. So, in the end it stays most of the time at lower clocks anyway, only difference is that it will jump faster when needed for less waiting time/lag.
Just to clarify, this is not suppose to waste battery, or drain it faster. As an efficiency profile the goal is to do the job you the want faster the possible, ramping up to the clocks that the jobs demands, without lags (or minimal lags) and go back to idle/lower clocks as soon as high clocks aren't needed anymore, so it don't overstay at a higher clocks then it's needed, very simple.
So, going to a high clock doesn't mean less battery life, finishing a job fast and going back to idle is the key to achieve more battery life, specially during deep sleep, when you really want your device go back to deep sleep fast, but also at any other time. Watching youtube, browsing and using low demand apps still uses the same clocks.
Also, on top of that you will spend more time USING the device instead of WAITING for it to finish a job. Battery life is very subjective, and SoT doesn't mean nothing IRL, I mean, are you spend that SoT waiting for a job to finish or to actually use the device?

I don't use SD card so what do I do?

In that case nothing is needed, the configurations related to the absent sd card will not be applied.
Ok guys. I was wondering why my device was heating a lot more these last 2 days. Turns out both Alucard and Lazyplug were accidentally activated on 081119 profile. Turn one of them off and everything will be a lot better. Sorry for that. I will upload a new profile very soon.
edit:
101118 smartpack profile:
- Turned Alucard off, accidentally activated it with Lazyplug also enabled, not good!
- Managed to go 1 point higher on freq 1497 MHz, the 2 hotplugs enabled were messing with me trying to test this change before, also 1 point lower on the idle freq 268 MHz for smoother scrolling while still staying at freq 268 while idle. And some more high load optimizations now that I only got 1 hotplug enabled as it should always be.

I will give this a try. Hope it works well...
Yeah.
You know, try it and report back. I don't see any reports, so I assume is working well for people.
Any reports are welcome.
