Hi guys!! I was thinking about opening a thread where everyone can specify what's the better kernel setup, according to her/his own necessities, and share that configuration with all p880 community. Also, it can be submitted the relationship between the kernel and the ROM an user is running on the device, to compare performances and make each other more conscious about kernel tweaking. I think it's better to open it in general section, so everyone can write, without being scared by submitting something not related to developing.
This thread won't to be in any way a substitute of the "Battery life!" thread, so if anyone wants to post specifical results or screenshots about battery duration, please post them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478514
Said that, the idea is to post a message like this:
KERNEL: name of the kernel you are using
ROM: the name of the ROM you are running
SETTINGS: the kind of settings you applied to your kernel (example: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, Multicore Power Saving=2,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-15 mV, MPU uC=+20, and so on)
GOOD: the benefits you experienced with your configuration (the more specific possible)
BAD: the badness you experienced with your configuration
Of course, if the thread begins to grow up, is recommended to read everything before posting a configuration too much similar to another which have been posted yet.
If you think this is a good idea, press thanks, if you want, and let's begin posting, otherwise report it to moderators, like @laufersteppenwolf, and they will close this thread as soon as possible
If someone like @JoinTheRealms is interested to, I'd appreciate very much to create a section dedicated to the scripts, as a second post of the thread, maintained and refreshed by the author.. Let me know, and take your own space here, if you think it's good for you!
So, I'm starting posting my own last configurations:
1)
KERNEL: iodak v9.95
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.2
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=370 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-30 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-75 mV all frequencies
GOOD: this configuration improve battery life, without decreasing overall smoothness - suggested to the users who don't mainly use the phone for hard gaming and want to find a compromise between battery durability and overall performance
BAD: some little lags, here and there, randomly happen - I suggest to apply underclock, before changing cpu freq voltage, because this configuration is good for 1300 Mhz undercloked device, but it may cause system freezes on some cpu variants, if you set cpu clock up to 1600-1700 Mhz (tested)
2)
KERNEL: iodak v10
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.4
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=620 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-100 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-100 mV all frequencies
This configuration is very battery friendly, more than the last one I was using on iodak v9.95. Nothing is slowing down, btw
@JoinTheRealms reserve a post to yourself, if you liked my idea to dedicate some space to scripts explaining

Lol, I'm using almost the same config.
Kernel: Iodak 9.9.5
Rom: Beanstalk 4.4.2
Settings: I haven't changed anything
Good: Very fluid and stable
Bad: battery life, Antutu 3D test score
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Kernel: 9.95
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max Frequency 1150 Mhz Cpu governor:interactive
mpu undervolt -100 on every freq (cpu variant 2, some hangs while waking the smartphone and I need to tap on the screen sometimes, if I press the power button the device won't wake up anymore until I restart it).
Congestion: westwood
Cpu quiet: runnable
Cpu max screen off freq: 475 Mhz
Good: less heat, more battery life, smooth experience
Bad: If I put 1300 Mhz as max freq the battery life will decrease.. And without 1300 Mhz as max freq I feel like cutting this smartphone's cpu potential.
Still bad battery life even with these tweaks, still disappointed, but so far this is my best configuration with Cm11 official.

The scripts i posted earlier, really shouldn't be take too seriously, mainly because they are written for ubuntu and require input. But when i get some time ill modify my post and give some examples of init.d scripts, or more specifically, the commands inside them. That should be somewhat more helpful i guess

Sent from my LG-P880 - Beanstalk 4.4.2 - Iodak 9.95 kernel - using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Kernel: Optimus Play v2.53
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max frequency 1200 Mhz (sometimes I tried to put it at 1100 Mhz or even lower, 1000 Mhz, resulting in better battery life)
Congestion: cubic (since there's no westwood implementation in this kernel)
Cpu quiet: not implemented (I think it's put on runnable or balanced as standard)
Cpu governor: interactive
Multi-core battery saving: 1
Gpu frequency scaling: on
Good: awesome perfomances, the games and all the apps are very smooth and compared to the earlier configuration with iodak v9.95, this is very much better, but be aware that I'm trying to have perfomances and battery life balanced, and on iodak v9.95 I undervolted the cpu of -100mv resulting in some cases of hangs and crashes. Battery life is still good, but a bit worse than the iodak configuration.
Bad: Battery life's not very good, it goes harder on deep sleep when the display's off, iodak v9.95 is the best with deep sleep; in fact it takes a while before entering that state, it usually stays on low frequencies but it still consumes the battery.
An other aspect I noticed is that even when the smartphone is on charge, when I'm using it, it doesn't charge much, if ever it looses energy, which is explained by the very good performances of this kernel.
A small bug present in this kernel, and not in iodak, you usually need to double press the power button to wake the smartphone, but it's much better than risking to have your smartphone crashed while waking it up.
Overall: A very good kernel for performances, I don't know if it's the best but it's very good, battery life's "good" if not using the smartphone, otherwise it drains quite fast, I think faster than the undervolted configuration with iodak.
If you're looking for smoothness with games and apps I'd suggest this kernel, if you prefer battery life I'd suggest iodak more, but I remind you the hang problems on it if you decide to undervolt up to -100mv.
I tested both kernels with the same Rom and apps and use more or less, so I'm quite positive it's a good test.
I hope it helps and you can give us tips or suggestions to improve this smartphone's battery life, without losing perfomance. I think this is the thread's goal.
and yeah, every LG Optimus 4x hd possessor's dream is to have a good battery life so well, let's help each other and get the best out from this device, it's not **** yet in my opinion, it just really has a bad battery usage.
@KrisJoe Very good review! I hope many people will follow your example..comparing user's kernel usage and customizations is the better way to help everyone to find the needed configuration, and to let them make whatever they want, with their phone, on the best possible way

I just noticed something going back at iodak v9.95 to try peppe's configuration; on iodak v9.95 the temperature of the cpu is higher, there's a difference of at least 20° C more or less. Problem was that I went back to iodak because charging with optimus play v2.53 was a pain since instead of charging it wasn't. (Of course I mean while in use)
With iodak charging is flawless (I activated the fast charge option, which isn't present in Optimus Play).
Is it because of the fast charging option that's making the difference?
I'n trying the cpu undervolted by -75mv MPU and -30mv LPU, and it seems a bit laggier than the optimus play one, I can feel the difference just typing with the keyboard on the browser, but it's charging despite me using the smartphone.
What do you think it's the cause of the slow charge in optimus? And maybe more important thing, how is it possible that the cpu has a 20° C of difference between optimus and iodak but I keep the same frequency? I even undervolted with iodak, and in theory it should be the opposite situation, with iodak having lower temperature.

So, talking about charging, on iodak's kernel you have to consider two situations: if you are charging through USB port, you may experiment slow charging and battery consumption even while charging, if you use the phone in the meanwhile (so, using fast charge solves the problem, but it is recommended to do not use it too many often, if you want your battery to have a longer life)..the problem doesn't exist if you charge the phone through AC adapter, so the phone should charge at a normal speed, even if you use it, whit no fast charge necessity.
Talking about my configuration, yes, you may have some little lags, here and there, 'cause this is a battery saving configuration, more than a gaming performance one..
Finally, temperature: maybe the difference between the kernels is due to a different overall cpu voltage, or the temperature is not really precisely shown, honestly I don' t know for sure
Sent from my LG-P880 - Beanstalk 4.4.2 - Iodak 9.95 kernel - using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm using the ac adapter and with optimus play charging was a bit hard and slower than with iodak. With -75mv it seems I don't have problems with waking up the smartphone and it seems a bit smoother, maybe a placebo effect, but I think that it could be the limit of undervolting with variant 2 cpus.
Now that I didn't use the smartphone for while the temperature is lower (49-51° C), the high temperature was due to the 1500 Mhz used at the beginning because I deleted cache and dalvik before installing iodak again (to avoid problems). Let's see how it behaves in these days, but I'm a bit confident iodak's config is better for battery saving, even though with antutu benchmark I did 13000 with iodak and, and 12800 with optimus play (with battery saving and performance balanced). It may be a wrong test but I still wanted to give it a try.
Yep, I tried to uV MPU frequencies at -100 mV, and it freezed my phone, after some seconds or minutes..so, I also think CPU variant 0x2 has this uV limit..maybe it's possible to uV a bit more single frequencies, without causing freezes, but I had not the time to try to individually uV any single frequency

I was thinking that we should specify what runtime we're using, if Dalvik or ART because I actually felt some differencies. What about you? Do you feel any difference with using one or an other? Sorry for the off topic, but I thought we could talk about the runtime also since we'll looking for the best performance/battery life.
O.T.: Don't activate ART Runtime on the latest cm nightly (3rd of April 2014), it will force close some apps like uicall, dialer, ecc. I had to return to dalvik by installing an older version in which ART was working... quite unconvenient.
This is the best thread ever guys.

The only bad thing is that if i want to wake a the device it doesn't wakes for the first time and I have to press twice the power button.

Yes, everyone is free to talk about ART or Dalvik, of course, it's related to Rom customization, using or not using it! Personally, I'm not using ART, considering it's on an early, experimental stage, and I have no time to switch between the two runtimes, if something should go wrong with ART (I need this phone as my really daily driver, and I haven't too much time to experiment, ATM).. But every single accurate review, also explaining how runtimes work, with a specifical kernel and a specifical Rom, is appreciated here!

Try multicore powersaving=1, and a little undervolt, you should have benefits in terms of smoothness, without losing battery

KERNEL: Iodak 9.5 (I know 9.95 is newest but I prefer 9.5 as I think it's performance/battery ratio is better.)
ROM: CM 03/30 nightly
SETTINGS(variant1): CPU max: 1500 lowest freq.: 620 screen off max: 475. GPU freq max: 564 mhz
MPU undervolted by -122 mV and LP core undervolted by -10mV but lowest freq. voltage is on default and max freq is on 1230 mV due to 564 mhz GPU freq. ART enabled and Multicore powersaving is set to 2.
GOOD: A lot smoother than 9.95 and with these undervolting I've done, it can survive heavy gaming without throttling.I can say this setup is the best for gaming if you've got variant 1.
BAD: Battery life is a bit worse compared to stock kernel.But with ART enabled it's difficult to notice the difference.Plus if you underclock to 1300 mhz your phone will still be smooth while giving you better battery life.

I use volume rocker to wake the phone up as a workaround.Easy to reach it with your midfinger once you have the phone in your hand.Plus you get to press the power button less, extending it's life.
Edit : Incase you didn't know official CM and most of the custom ROMs have volume rocker wake option in settings > button or under some other category.

hi guys,
does anyone have a tried and working UV values for best battery life? I don't want any more performance, so I'm not looking for OC, but perhaps any idea what UV stays stable?
Well, it's easy the higher you OC, the more it will drain your battery. As for UV, I can't tell because the voltages are different for every device, Rom and kernel...

Usually undervolting -50mv for each speed will work for most devices, although its not recommended to decrease that much for speeds below 800mhz since it will affect your phone's wake up speed.
And tegra 2 cpu controller only supports minimum of 770mv, going anyway lower than this value will not have any effect.
My advice, try UV -25mv for 500mhz, and the rest above is -50mv. Some o2x can go -100mv, but you need to be lucky to own such device.
Cheers!
Mine is working perfectly on -75.
But when i go to -100, soemtime freezes device, so i use -75 regularly.
trying -50 across the board now, seems to run stable.
brw, how does lower voltage hurt the speed?
I can't really explain clearly since I do not know the technicals, but from what I read in xda, it will affect your speed, meaning 1.2ghz running at undervolted setting will not run the same as at stock voltage. Maybe its an efficiency issue, I do not know.
I thing that i experience, If you undervolt too much the few lowest clock steppings, you sometimes might not able to wake the phone from sleep because there is not enough power to wake it up.
I hope my explanation help you a little, and hopefully someone with more experience can give you a better explanation.
using -25mv ate 1.1ghz and 1ghz, -50mv at 800 Mhz, and -100mhz (750Mhz so its 770mhz because hardware limitations) on all other frequencies!
-50 mv is the limit for the device don't use below -50mv. but it dependes on your device. mine cannot UV it always gives me SOD i think my hardware phone is crap

Hi all,
Since Zeus v6.39 it is possible to undervolt our OB's. I am curious till what level you all can undervolt your OB. Please test the maximum undervolt level at least for a day or so before reporting, so we can be reasonably sure it is stable. And to make comparison possible, keep other settings standard please, so CPU 300 - 1000 MHz, DVFS enabled.
Personally my OB is currently running stable @ the -5 voltage level. -7 gave me an SOD while the screen was off within a few hours and @ -6 parts of my wallpaper went black (GPU problem?).
Happy polling!
I vote for -7. When I enable DVFS I have some lag so I disabled it. In 1.5 days of usage battery gone empty. (some surf on Wifi, some calling, playing some games etc.) I played Max Payne without any lags and got no SODs so far.
AFAIK, DVFS is dynamic voltage and frequency scaling and setting contstant voltage level when it is activated is something not suitable for it's nature. So I don't use bot of them at the same time.
i can't really feel the difference.. stock freq, dvfs enabled, smartassv2 and sio.
voltage now on -7 for a few hours but i can't notice any difference.
Didn't see difference in performance which is a good sign and battery life fulfill my needs : DVFS enable, freq 100-1000, UV -7, smartass2 and SIO. Never got any SOD since its release (and using LG lockscreen).

Where did you get this information about DVFS from? It sounds plausible because of the name, but I cannot find such information in the Zeus thread. A different possibility is that with the voltage tweaks in Zeus you only change the sort of average voltage of the OB and DVFS dynamically adjusts this to the needs of what you are doing. But this is all guessing for me.
Although I feel it might eat some battery (I don't know for sure) I like DVFS on because I feel a heavy game like Angry Birds Space becomes more responsive with it.

On zeus 6.39O stable with -5 300 - 1200 mhz. +5 to -5 gave about the same score in quadrent.

Hey thanks for the info! That clarifies a lot to me about what they mean with DVFS.
However, I still dont believe setting the voltage level and DVFS dont go well together. To be more precise I dont believe you make the cpu voltage constant by setting the voltage level in Zeus Tweaker. I believe you make the CPU voltage constant by disabling DVFS.
In a different way: setting the voltage level to 0 would be the original 'stock' level right? So why would LG include DVFS on our OB if it would not work?

Hi, I'm tempted to push CPU beyond current 1200MHz, no Undervolting. I want to do a survey on what CPU frequency settings and UV hold you for daily use. :silly:
I'm currently using 1.3GHz/368MHz with smartassV2 governor. Good performance and good battery life on IceColdSandwich 8.2. At 1.4GHz or higher, it's unstable and the phone freezes while the screen is powered off sometimes.

Will do but it may be done in the next month, Thanks for your suggestion.
First of all THANK YOU for spending your time on this and sharing your result with us!
Just flashed the kernel! Good news...nothing is bricked
CPU Spy Plus indeed shows 1836 Mhz used! I did´t do anything for that.
You might re-think this. Using 1512Mhz instead by default and let the users choose that high speed CPU mode themselves as it may not be stable on all devices.
That 324Mhz added is a huge step...there is no step in between possible?
What about voltages. Did you modify anything? Is the voltage raised to achieve the high cpu frequency? Please post some more information about what happens here...
In fact I´m just running Antutu to see general stability on my device.
VERY BAD score. Before your kenel there were 20300 points. Now with OC only 19746.

EDIT: Just recognized.... several questions are being answered by Antutu CPU Master.
1512 IS USED by default!
1620Mhz and 1728 Mhz are there to choose and of course finally the 1836Mhz.
Scaling is interactive by default (changed to my fav ondemand)
I/O Scheduler is cfq by default (changed to my fav noop)
Antutu Score @ 1836Mhz: 16077Mhz ???
Lower than without OC? Needs retesting (14230 point when setting max to 1836Mhz and Min to 1512Mhz(!!!???)...maybe the benchmark is wrong...Will give it some time to see if I myself feel a speedup.
After Restart Antutu Score ends up @ 19761 points...not bad. but clearyl not enough looking at the massice OC done. REBOOT! Tab just rebooted! So 1836Mhz is not stable at mine! Trying 1728Mhz now instead.
18139 points....this kernel lacks some serious power if we can believe the scores of antutu. This is a V0.1 so nothing to worry too soon. You´ll make it find it´s power
Switched back to kernel from pulser_g2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444452) and 19908 points without any OC! You may look into it.
But please answer the other questiones I wasn´t able to clear myself.

First of all THANK YOU for spending your time on this and sharing your result with us!
Just flashed the kernel! Good news...nothing is bricked
CPU Spy Plus indeed shows 1836 Mhz used! I did´t do anything for that.
You might re-think this. Using 1512Mhz instead by default and let the users choose that high speed CPU mode themselves as it may not be stable on all devices.
That 324Mhz added is a huge step...there is no step in between possible?
What about voltages. Did you modify anything? Is the voltage raised to achieve the high cpu frequency? Please post some more information about what happens here...
In fact I´m just running Antutu to see general stability on my device.

Sorry for my late,
I've tested Antutu with 1512MHz and 1836MHz. For my Tablet Z, I got ~20000 (1512MHz) and ~23000 (1836MHz).
My Tablet Z has fast binning CPU. Can you please tell me which binning your CPU is? Thank you!
hard to tell...did taht thing in Terminal emulator....it tells me "1".
Not fast or slow or anything...

Don´t know....after the disastrous performance of the first release I of course switched back to stock.
Now there is the new version which does not cut performance in stock mode.
I´ll OC now to 1728 Mhz and see how it performs with that....battery life is not really good with stock so if you are already asking...FORGET ABOUT alternative kernels not optimized for battery.
That is why I don´t use CM oder AOKP on my Note1. I just eats the battery for breakfast....
OK OC just seemed to scale...20300 points (ca. 19300 at stock speed)...trying 1836 Mhz now.
17389 points....clear drawback....possibly because my device seems to have a bad CPU from what I´ve learned....wanted to use the 17xx Mhz anyway....oops....device just rebooted....my device just isn´t capable of the max cpu setting. :crying:
Anyway the working 1728 Mhz working is great news!
Will give it further testing...
I have two APQ8064 devices, Nexus 4 and Tablet Z. Nexus 4 is 0 (slow), it will reboot sometimes even on [email protected], the Antutu would force close and red light of death would happen if you ignore it and attempt to run again. While my Tablet Z is 2 (fast), this can run at [email protected] and got 23XXX in Antutu.
I don't have an idea which frequency can the 1 (nominal) APQ8064 clock at, but I think [email protected] will be OK. Also, keep eyes on the CPU float-point section in Antutu. At 1512Mhz, it is around 2000. At 1836MHz, it is around 2200. If this drop lower, just pull up the voltage BUT NOT TOO MUCH!!!

Raising voltage is not an option to me. But anyway...which app do you use for that on tablet Z?
What App do you use for cou control?
I use No-frills. Do you change "interactive" and or "cfq"?
Numbers right after reboot and stopping some unused apps...just stock apps running...
2729 / 930 / 1112 / 1050 / 511 / 927 / 1436 / 5278 / 696 / 600
>>> 15269 points @ stock !!!
switching back to stock....

I would like to know this as well. Also, how do you check to see which processor you have? (0,1,2; slow, nominal, fast)

What is the terminal command to find out? I also considered custom retelling to add some processing oomph. On a per app basis, but reading this... Stock SGP311 on 4.2.2 is chugging fine just north of 20000 points on Antutu. Can we compare Versions? Mine is 3.3.1. I faintly recall reading they mixed up some benchmarking internals because some corporations found loopholes to cheat / inflate scores on new to market devices, maybe that's the discrepancy there?
Another wild thought, could there maybe be, aside from different CPU Models, different kinds of cache / memory scattered through the devices? Would not be the first time a sub par. Cache/Memory bottleneck severely strangled a nominally and factually quicker CPU into much lower overall results. Much depends on weighting within Antutu
Man, what happened with your kernel? We need some stock kernels for 4.3

Im using zaiben rom on my lg optimus 4x hd. The performance is poor. Overall laggy and horrible gaming. I dont like using non stock based rom as they always have some bugs. I tried custom kernel like iodak werewolf but it made my phone heat up like crazy and unusable while charging. Any solution?
Buy another device stock Roms won't give you a good performance increase.

I used stock with zaiben kernel for months, uninstalled all the useless system apps with Root Uninstaller, including hangouts, gmail, maps, youtube ... and then installed them again as normal applications and used the greenefy to hibernate most applications, never had a problem of lagg or excess heat. Now I'm testing some KK ROMs , and do the same thing using iodak kernel 9.95 and I'm liking the results.
Make a bakcup and test some KK ROMs.

Believe me, if you're using an LG phone, custom ROMs are ALWAYS better.
Stock ROM got too many bugs and I don't really like modified stock ROMs as people usually add more bloatware.
You should really give CM11 a try.Latest nightlies got very good performance with iodak 9.5 kernel.And no important bugs you should worry about.

If u use iodak or werwolf kernel wont phone heat up like crazy if u use ur phone or do some gaming especially. If u do it while phone is charging?

If you use a custom kernel like iodak or ww, you can tweak many parameters. Among them there is cpu clock frequency and voltage.
Personally, I've set the stock 1500 mhz frequency and undervolted Mpu and cpu respectively by -30 and -75 mV. My phone runs smooth as silk and never gets horribly hot.
The guys who replied before me are right, though, stock roms or their derivates cannot be compared with CM11 in terms of performance they are way better. If I were you, I would flash one of the latest nightly and a custom kernel.
After some trials and errors you will be able to find the correct balance between over/underclocking and undervolting.
That is, if you are willing of doing some experiments. If you are looking for pre-cooked solutions I am afraid you will be deceived.

Trickstermod is a favorite for most of the people.Check your tegra variant, if it's 1 or above, you can use -122mV for CPU with no problems, max freq set to 1.5 ghz
I'm using this for months now and I sometimes forget my phone can get hot, unless I do heavy gaming for 30 mins or more.
Also try to overclock GPU.Helps a lot with FPS issues.
If you want good battery life and decent performance, underclock to 1300 mhz and undervolt by -122mV (if your variant is 1 or above)
Btw you can check your variant via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/tegravariant after installing iodak kernel.Higher the variant, the higher you can overclock/undervolt.
@UP
My tegra variant is 3 o.o But when I undervolt 30mV on CPU and 75mV on MPU - as @peppethustra recommend in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761923&page=2 - it causes freezes, even when I underclock to 1,3GHz :/

All phones are different you may have to tweak the values to fit your needs. Try upping the LP CPU voltage to -10 and work your way down. For MPU try -25 and work your way down on that as well.
Mine is a variant 2 and can use -20 and -110 with the 520 GPU overclock
Edit: also for more performance try changing your minfree values. Lower values mean better multitasking and high values mean more killing of background apps but more free ram for the foreground apps. I personally use 8, 12, 45, 65, 95, 165
don't forget to hit thanks!
