[Q] Semaphore 1.6 beta

Unfortunately I can not post to dev section, so hopefully stratos will see my post here:
I had stock JVR with semaphore 1.5 (not v) on ext4 and everything was excellent with this brilliant kernel apart from the well known phone fc.
OC/UV was ok: quadrant scores were approx 1900-2400 on conservative cpu gov and 2500-3000 on ondemand gov.
Now, I flashed the 1.6 beta and my system is noticeably slower on *conservative* cpu gov and quadrant scores dropped clearly below 1500. Ondemand cpu gov seems to work ok but as I was alwaus on conservative I can not be abs.sure
I don't know if it is important but using voltage control app to check cpu function I see that:
a) cpu freq is wildly/unpredictably fluctuating with 1.6beta while this was not happening in 1.5 under conservative cpu gov,
and
1b) reported default voltage is different: for example with sema1.5 1200mhz had default 1275, now in 1.6beta without oc module 1000mhz is 1275 but with oc module 1200mhz have 1300mv by default.
Stratos,
could it be that a) something is broken in the new conservative cpu gov? , b) have you changed the default cpu voltage between v1.5 and v1.6beta?

Unfortunately I can not confirm your results. I just load the conservative governor and tested with and without overclocking. No problems here.
During benchmarking due to high load the frequency it's difficult to drop below the max. So, governor should not make the difference.
The uv value was the same in 1.5.0 (1300mv) for 1.2Ghz but it was wrongly displayed as 1275.
Thanks for you feedback. I will let you know if someone else report problems about the conservative governor.

Hey stratos, thanks for the clarification about cpu voltage.
Re cpu gov, I just did a nandroid restore and confirmed that conservative cpu gov works much better in 1.5
Any ideas on how to explore it further? There is definetely something different here.
I mean, its not just quadrant scores, its memento database loading instantly vs seconds of delay under cons cpu gov in 1.5 vs 1.6beta.
I will reflash again l8r tonight.
Anyhow, this kernel rocks! And I love the tun/netfilter module design.

[Q] Optimal settings for MINI CM9

How well set the settings to the optimal CM9 MINI ROM? I know it was already somewhere, but I can not znaleś.Bardzo mainly I mean if ZRam to be enabled or disabled? And how to set the processor.
Advance thank you very much
If I could give it some help thanks

Smartass v2 cpu governor - cpu frequency 122 - 729.
Z-ram when ur not using supercharger then 18% if u do then disable it..

I Use Smartass v2 cpu governor - cpu frequency 122 - 600 works well.
The problem is that the battery is short-lived
Relative Zram I don't have opinion.

[Q] Bettery saver-Setcpu

Hi i recently download setCPU and created profiles......for samsung galaxy aceS5830
1. Screen on: Max 800MHz and 122 Min, Governer-ondemand
2. Screen off: Max 245 Min122, Governer-Powersaver
enabled the above profiles....but still i am facing problems like menu slow loading and any application is taking time to respond...
Kindly help me how can i improve the processor speed and battery save...
Thanks in advance

Unless youre using a OC Kernel you wont probably be able to get much better performance with SetCPU. Try light weight ROMs or RAM scripts like V6 Supercharger.

what is OC kernel......how i can do that pls help me.....

OC = Overclock.
I wouldn't recommend using profiles for a newbie!
Try the following settings instead. Minimum frequency ~ 250
Maximum frequency-Anything between 800-850
Governor - smartass/smartassv2
Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!
Details here.

Overclock..I wouldn't recommend that though.Could mess up your phone if you don't know what you are doing

msm-dcvs Governor

GUys anyone know why the msm-dcvs governor for our Xperia SP cpu is buggered?
it's supposed to be Krait optimized, yet I just checked the governer parameters on Trickster Mod and it's got the MAX CPU speed set at 384 mhz
I tried changing it and applying it in Trickster Mod, but it doesn't apply nor stick ...
all the other Parameters are 0
any ideas guys

I seem to be having the same problem. Running 257 with stock kernel (LB +root). The MSM-DCVS kernel doesnot seem to be working. it is always stuck at the min frequency. is there any way yo fix this?
I donot plan on moving to 4.3 stock as the comments here arent very good about the experience.

[Q] Best CPU Governor and I/O Scheduler for One Power Guard

Hi,
I'm using Co-Core 8.2 and I want to test One Power Guard to improve my battery life.
But I don't have any idea about which CPU governor and I/O scheduler to choose.
Could someone tell me which combination provides the best balance between power-save and performance?
I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2
NB. Cocafe recommends PegasusQ as CPU governor and either SIO/ROW for I/O scheduler but I would like to get some feedback from people already using One Power Guard.
Thanks in advance

Pegasus and sioplus
OR
Hotplug and sioplus

Thanks for the answer. I will give a try with Pegasus
However I noticed that sioplus is not available on One Power Guard settings. Only row and sio.
Is sioplus available in Co-core 8.2?

These apps like this just drains your battery. If you want play with CPU, download a CPU controller app. (like SetCPU) and install CoCore 9.0 which is newest version.
When you don't use phone ; 600 MHz Max & HotPlug
When you don't use phone V2 ; 600 MHz Max & Ondemand & deeper sleep status
When you lock phone, don't decrease speed (too much) because it will use whole CPU if it needs ; 800 MHz Max & Ondemand Q/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q
When using ; 1000 MHz Max & Ondemand/Interactive/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q
When you get mad and crazy about performance, lock the min to max; 1000 MHz min and max & Ondemand & SmartAss (still exists or not I don't know)
If you increase minimum speed it will keep it. So I suggest always keep min to 200MHz. (if exists 0 MHz I don't remember it too)
Edit: and don't go deeper sleep if you use hot plugger governors like Hotplug, Pegasus, Lulzactive Q

Thanks guys,
I will compare the battery draining with One Power Guard just to give it a try.
If I don't notice any improvement then I will tweak with SetCPU

Hi again,
What exactly do you mean wit "deeper sleep"?
Is that an option or when the display is off after several minutes?
Sorry for my ignorance

Go to the CoCore's thread you'll see. It's deep sleep level which can increase your battery life when you don't use the device. It's not about using, it's about when it's stand-by.

Ok
After one day even if One Power Guard is a nice app I prefer to switch governor depending on the display status. So I was thinking about using tasker (instead setCPU) which is already running on my phone and this way not adding more background processes.
I set a couple of task using the CPU control from tasker. It is working fine switching governors but I noticed that the frequencies (min and max) don't change. I tried even with shell script and still I don't get to set the max frequency. Then I prefer to make you a couple of questiosn:
-In tasker when using the CPU control. If I change governor. Should it be set in both CPUs (0 and 1) or only in a single one? In my case i set the governor in both.
-I use the terminal to check the current governor and max frequency (for instance for the cpu0)
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor​cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq​
As said above the governor is succesfully changed but that's not the case for the frequency. Then I tried to run a shell script to change the max frequency as follows:
echo #frequency > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq​
But it seems not working neither. So I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
NB. By the way I'm happy using the governor hotplug while not using my phone (thanks for the advice). In normal use I set pegasusq with sio and seems working great.
