Hey guys i searched the forum but couldn't find a thread dedicated to inreasing your cpu/gpu settings, making games lag less. Could anyone provide me with a tutorial? What are the best settings for frequencies governor etc.

You need to install a custom kernel with overclocking abilities, werewolf or iodak kernels have this. then use an app such as trickstermod to change frequency settings settings, as for which ones are the best, its something you'll have to test with trial and error:good:.

Sorry for stupid question, pls give me some idea. Thanks
Just to state the obvious, to overclock and undervolt the CPU.
Less power, more speed.

ic, does the CM ROM already do it or not? Since i found KOR have this feature but i can't found it mentioned in CM ROM. However I saw the setCPU reported the CPU speed is changing, seems doing what OC/UV is doing, which made me confused.
The CyanogenMod kernel is capable of overclocking. Pershoot and WildMonks and intersectraven are just different kernels that are all capable of OC and maybe UV. It usually says in the filename what its voltage is.
I can haz oc

Hi guys, the Devil Kernel has a governor called Powersave does that really help extend battery life?

Yea, it will, but it may be laggy and slow from time to time.

OnDemand, Conservative or SmartassV2 are a good compromise regarding speed and battery. Your battery will discharge a bit faster ofc but your phone will be smoother as well. Use CoolTool for live statistics of the CPU frequency.
Just play around a bit with the settings and use the link I posted above for help. If you want to know anything, feel free to ask me
There are several other settings on kernel side which affect speed and battery life.

Thank you so much!!! I'm gonna be honest and say I am a n00b and I won't really understand the statistics...or change the frequency manually...
Can I run SetCPU with all the kernels or just use the Kernel's governors (like Devil's let you choose a governor).
P.S - Tried the SmartassV2 looks okay to me a bit laggy though...

Yeah, SetCPU can be run with any kernel. You can download the devil kernel app on Google Play to set everything, so SetCPU is redundant.
Statistics are quite obvious - the phone should hit min. frequency as soon as possible on the one hand and it shouldn't lagg on the other hand Lazy governor is good as well.
Btw: You are here to learn something so it's absolutely okay if you ask questions. That "noob-excuse" is kinda lame cuz you read and study the stuff by asking others /reading topics Everyone has to learn to succeed.
Anyways, ask me if you got questions

It slows down a bit your phone but battery does improve.
Hi guys,
I am not new to using custom ROMs but I would like to understand a bit more about optimizing my beautiful phone to my needs.
I am running the latest stable CM and just today flashed Iodak kernel 0.7
I understand with using Trickster MOD I can do a lot tweaking - but I don't understand most of what I can do there and whether it would actually make things "better" for me.
Here's my request:
Can you tell me how I should set parameters in Trickster and explain at least in short why?
I do not game on my phone, I use it mostly for social interaction and navigation, therefore I suppose I don't need max power, I am rather interested in good battery times while not loosing the smoothness of use.
Thanks in advance.

Your needs is same as mine...What ive done using trickster mod is changed Governor/Scheduler..On SmartDimmer, Disable FSync, Undervolt all frequency...As undervolting values varies with your usage...As mine, i lower down most of the freq above 1000Mhz and below that freq, i undervolt as medium value as i can, to be exact, 25mv each...
As Governor, read up about each governor behavior and find the one that most suited you, same as Scheduler...
I'd prefer Interactive+Sio...Hope this helps

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 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

How can I underclock my 9T Pro smartphone? I don't play games or use power intensive apps, I'm thinking to underclock it's CPU and/or GPU to extend battery life.
I'm on latest MIUI 11 Beta from xiaomi.eu, rooted.
Are there any apps or methods to safely reduce frequencies for its CPU/GPU?

I tried Franco's app but some CPU frequency settings don't maintain after a while.
And I'm sure I don't know exactly what frequencies should I modify (and how much) on the three clusters to obtain a balanced setting.
Not no mention GPU frequency settings...

Sorry I won't be much help on this as I haven't needed to change frequencies in a while. Afaik you just need to change the CPU and GPU governors to power save and set it to apply on reboot, small cores like to jump up a lot more max freq than the big cores so maybe around 1500mhz for small, keep large cores from going into 2000mhz and prime core too, GPU from what I remember really struggles if limited to lowest frequency, 300ish is a good starting point.
Depends on what rom you are running too, miui you don't really have a choice but to use stock kernel. On custom rom you have a lot more choices of kernel like immensity, f1xy, kraven and notkernel.

I'm using MIUI 11 latest weekly from xiaomi.eu.
Right now I applied your suggestions in FKM, I'm waiting to see how it influences the performance and power usage.
Well, I tested changing frequencies and governors in FKM but they won't stay after restart, even if apply after boot was checked for each modification. I guess MIUI kernel is not so friendly in this matter.

So, if this is true, changing freqs can't be done even in custom ROMs (non MIUI) and it's bad.
I tried lowering screen resolution and DPI to save power but the rounded corners become even rounder (?!) and power usage didn't drop that much.
