i have FireKate v7 installed and was wondering, what are the best settings to get the best performance using set cpu?
There's a lot of discussion about this in the Firekat thread if you want to check it out
Setting both max and min to 2.3 ghz, performance governor, row io should be the most responsive though but your battery will take a hit!

Thanks. I'll will give that a try!
Mega also suggests going interactive with row in v7.says just as far as performance but better battery life. Give that a shot. It's what in on and 1d14hr with 3.5hr screen and 25%left and that is with playing graphic intensive game for about 2hrs of that.. So I'd say worth it

I was told by the majority it goes in this order:
1) Pegasusq
2) Lulzactive
3) SmartassV2
4) Ondemand
5) Hotplug
6) Interactive
... and the rest.
And for IO Scheduler:
1) VR
2) CFQ
3) SIO
The truth is that, this is a Dual Core Phone with 1GB RAM, and improved Android 4.03+ kernel. So the previous hardware and software limitations NO LONGER applies. Coming FROM the DEVELOPERS of governors and schedulers the best ones seem to be:
1) InteractiveX2
2) HotplugX
3) Ondemand
... then lulzactive ~ pegasusq > smartassV2
And for IO Schedulers:
1) SIO
... then the rest
The truth is you should use the DEVELOPER recommended governor and sio scheduler, for an extensive period (1-2 days) and compare them. Finding what works best for you. After that's done, then you should go further stability testing with Voltage Control. Eg, UC your lowest frequency, OC your highest frequency and UV each step to the NEEDS of your device, each device is UNIQUE and functions DIFFERENTLY.
I think doing so you should extend your battery life by 1 or 1.5hour per cycle, while maintaining or increasing performance.
it all depends on the ROM + Kernel and more importantly the user and how they use their Note.
For me, I use Performance + Noop.. But ive had good results with pegasusq + sio
The only way to get the best combination is to try them all, But give them time to perform, Dont make a decision after 5 mins of usage, Test them heavily, Do some serious Gaming + Multitasking and chose one that outperforms the rest !
I'll start testing and post results from time to time.

But the performance governor never scales down but always runs at maximum frequency. How is battery life with that? Must be horrible?!

I agree, governors even if they have the same stock names(i.e ondemand) has been heavily tweaked by the kernel dev so that you maximize performance and batt life. Start off by using the kernel/scheduler suggested by the kernel dev.
The only thing I care about is running out of juice when I don't have access to something that can charge my phone, as long as i get 10-15hrs off batt life and solid performance I'm good. Still I always bring a wall charger/usb cord with me if i really needed the extra juice.
Remember you can charge the battery but you can't charge performance

This sentence doesn't make sense at all.
Unless you mean you can change or recharge the battery, which is straight-forward.
But you can "change" (increase) the performance. Just clear all background tasks, go to Voltage Control and overclock the cpu frequency upto 1.704GHz (with +1400mV) and keep it at that frequency by using the Performance governor. Also overclock your gpu upto 400MHz (with +1,000mV).
Though I don't recommend that, stability issues, warming issues and possible physical damage to your processor. But use the same concept, just not Overclock too much!

That's simply NOT true.
Otherwise you have your phone in deep sleep/idle far more than the average user, barely using your phone.
Other possibility is that you've severely underclocked your maximum frequency, and have a long time in idle.
Performance governor = Always on maximum frequency.
NOTE's maximum frequency uses 1300+ mV. The NOTE's battery size is 2,500 mAh. Simple maths will tell you 24hrs is impossible ; )
But it is true I'm not saying my phone will be awake for 24 hours I'm saying I charge it roughly every 24 hours, I know performance keeps the phone at max speeds but I am human I will sleep for about 8-9 hours, so in result so will my phone.
And I don't use my phone every minute of the day I do have work to do so my battery life is what I say it is. What I consider 'average use' might be absolute minimal use to you so maybe that's why you doubt me,
I personally don't mess with voltages and things cause I don't understand them but I use note core kernel which is highly tweaked and one of the best kernels for battery life

My recommendation is lulzactive.
i use hotplug+sio on maclaws slim bean,, awesome battery life
hello,
im just wondering first of all whats the best speed to OC without permanent damage. I have done over 900 Mhz but I will get maybe 1 or 2 reboots a day so I went down to 864Mhz and its been smooth no problems. but what do you think is best to use.
also taking the first question to mind, what governor and i/o settings should I use to give the best balance between battery life and performance? I have tried smartassv2 and the battery like suffers.
Please give me your opinion for what is the best combination for my phone
Well first of all you can't have both performance and battery life.
If you are after performance go for 883 ( I think. I don't exactly remember the freq so forgive me for that) or what you suggested yourself (864) and set the governor to interactive and min frequency to 245. Personally I would set the governor to performance and Max frequency to 864 min 245 though it may sound crazy but that's my settings, phone doesn't get as hot as it used to battery life has kinda increased actually well if you think about it you will see that your phone will complete a given task in a shorter time and therefore ...
If you are after battery life then don't think about over clocking. In fact you might wanna under clock to certain level.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and find the work very well here. I have my Incredible S with Rome 10.1 of 26 6 Recorded. My question is how I best mobile adjusting I have a good battery performance. Prozesser I clocked at 1200 and asked the Smarttassv2. The I / O scheduler to SIO. Are the setting so perfectly and I can still adjust.
Thanks abgfritz

Although your question makes no sense, I will try to decode it. It is impossible to get amazing performance with amazing battery. Right now, I have my phone on "ondemand" and maximum processor at 806. I don't use my phone foot gaming etc so I like to preserve battery life.
Click thanks if I helped you out!
i use my phone for moderate gaming, its at 1.4 GHz, smartass v2 and the battery last for over a day. the secret is the app 'Greenify'

I've been trying to achieve the best battery life without sacrificing performance on my Spice Dream Uno A-1 phone. After trying many custom kernels and ROMs I've developed a sweat spot for Zeus Kernel by Swapnil Solanki. As it provides many governors plus I/O schedulers with dt2w.
After using many CPU governors and apps like Amplify and Greenify. I found out this guide on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557. Explaining advanced tweaking interactive governor.
Default settings of interactive governor used to spike up my phone's CPU to Max freq. I also tried using Monarch kernel with min clock speed of 200 mhz. But it was laggy.
Here are my (sprout4) settings with interactive governor (Zeus Kernel and RR build):
Go to 'CPU governor tunables'
1. above_hispeed_delay:
10000 747000:60000 1040000:20000
2. target loads:
98 747000:35 1040000:60 1300000:90
3. timer_rate:
25000
These settings will get you amazing CPU performance with max battery life possible.
You can also turn on 'Thunderplug' from kernel settings. I personally use it with 35% load threshold. I'm Getting best battery ever. What about you ?
Try and tell me.
@sumeet240
What do you mean by best battery? Atleast provide screenshot and tell Screen On time.
And BTW this should be in general thread
I'll post screen shots tomorrow I'm away from charger. Sorry for posting this here. You should try tweaking it; it'll take 15 min maximum.

BTW on what brightness should i test my battery life. I generally keep brightness on medium (no auto). I think I'll be able to get three and half hour SOT (3G usage Twitter+Movie) on brightness set to almost center of the slider. Using resurrection remix latest nightly.
5-5.5 hours on decent brightness; 3G usage

First of all you should learn not to post discussion threads in Android One Original Development forum. This post belongs to general forum.
If you don't understand what i am saying refer to forum rules first. Just wait it will be posted on where it belongs.

I don't know if this will work for you. But you should not be using dark theme for better battery life. Dark theme needs more brightness than white ones. And LCD displays are always backlit.

I too thought dark means less bright screen and hence more battery
I'm getting worse battery life after a year of usage. What can we expect from a 1700mah device. 4 hrs+ is still good though :angel:
I don't know if it works on OOS versions but it does, on the OB12. You need to be rooted to be doing this.
Lower the input boost to 1036 on the big and 556 on the small first. Now, change the governor of the big cluster to conservative and the small to ondemand or conservative , benefit!
To see the improvement in FPS, you need to go to developer options and switch on profile GPU rendering. For those who didn't understand this: lower the graph is, higher the fps. Hit thanks if helped
Where to change these settings?
Any kernel manager would do. I'd recommend kernel aduitor

What if I'm on RR 5.8.2 and ElementalX? I have ondemand governor option for little but don't have conservative for big cluster.

This is exclusive for OOS. In fact, the interactive is supposed to be better than the rest but it's not the case on OOS which is why I made this thread.

Oh alright. Little governor ondemand seems quite fine right now.
By the way, are both governors interactive by default?

You'll see input boost in the bottom section of CPU in kernel adiutor. Core 1- 1036, core 3 -556 is what you've to do. It'll be 1324 default on both. I'm suggesting that for slightly better battery life

Lower SOTs are obvious, but to what degree is what matters. As far as I see, it's not that much.
GUYS, I recommend not to use this anymore. Oneplus has a reason to not release the kernel with conservative on . This is because conservative is not optimized for battery while interactive is. If interactive weren't optimized for battery, it'd be better than conservative for sure. I get only 4 hr sot on conservative but 5.5 on interactive. Though this is not placebo, it has a negative impact on SOT .
When I change big cluster to conservative, those cores will always stay above 2 GHz, as shown in Kernel Adiutor.

Good you realised that.. I did a little investigation on your tweak.. Apparently setting governor to conservative locks the frequency of big cluster to max possible, usually above 2 ghz and it will step down slowly ( by slow I mean really slow like 1-2 seconds). Thus causes you to have very less render times on gpu profile as shown in the xda portal post.. I opened up ex kernel manager and observed same freq in higher range.
After some time I just changed governor to interactive and changed minimum freq of big cluster to 2 ghz.. I observed the same render times as situation as time when conservative was set as governor...
So this tweak is nothing but type of placebo since ramping up freq can lead to faster processing
Edit.: Couple of people on xda portal have said the same.. I didn't check it..
