I have found Interactive to be a good balance of performance and battery life, it is the stock governor actually. Conservative can be good as well but I like the slightly better response from Interactive. My kernel has deadline as the default and I haven't messed with it.

I'm on elemental X and it provides its own governor.
I think I should stick with the governor that is provided by the kernel...

each kernel provides many governors for you to use.. why do i have to use the governor thats default to the kernel when the governor that i use is much better in performance and battery??? you should use whichever one you like, provided that you know what you are doing. btw, i use ondemand governor with deadline scheduler.

Agreed?
blu active governor and cfq scheduler

In previous ROMs for other devices I had good experience with smoothass/brazillianwax and savagedzen but ever since I tried MinMax it's the best one for me.
What do you guys think?
(I/O Sched is Simple by far, there's no chance to others like V(R) or BFQ)
ondemand...
Stock user have to use

The "governor" is that piece of software that switches the CPU of you phone between the different speeds and voltages, thus it is responsible to some performance issues and the power consumption of the battery.
Or in other words:
The "wrong" governor results in poor battery duration, while another "wrong" governor may result in great battery duration but poor performance. The "best" governor is the one that switches the CPU to exactly that speed that is really needed so the system can run with full performance and best battery duration.
As user of the stock ROM you do not have the choice as the kernel supports exactly one specific governor (named ondemand). If you want to try the differnt governors try the Nova ROM of Noejn: this great ROM allows you to switch between several different governors.

I only tried MinMax and ondemand. To make it short: ondemand sucks, MinMax works great for me.

Ondemand make lags.. But damn Stock kernel only supports craps..
I'm using emanoN V4 with No-Frills, and since CM7.1 with SetCPU, I always used 'ondemand' as Governor.
But reading other posts on other devices forums about this, some people say SmartassV2 is the best...
So, as each device is different (specially by the ARM version and manufacturer), I decided to begin this conversation here, and listen to what people with the same device as me has to say about it.
So which Governor do you consider the best for SGM?
Im using cm7.2, setting at nofrilis Governor : SavagedZen io : sio and undervolt at cm setting, give more battery life.
Sory for bad english

Thanks for the reply, but as I can see on No-Frills, sio is th I/O Scheduler, that is already set. I'm asking here about the Governor.
Ondemand and set noop
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
on emanonV4 i use Smartassv2 nd i/o noop
I see that people are very divided between ondemand and SmartassV2.
Now with sio and noop as I/O Scheduler.
Anyone else would like to share?
i will say ondemand because cpu will be set at lowest frequency and when you need it it will set at higher frquency which will save your battery and if you want performance then no lag will be good
The principle of the ondemand governor I'd already figured out (and actually didn't like it, very rough).
I would like to hear more about the principle of the SmartassV2, whereas since this morning I'm using SmartassV2 + noop and I noticed my SGM way smoother than with ondemand + sio.
Now is wait and see if the battery is sucked more.

smartassV2 is a re-working of the original smartass governor, it allows for the CPU to scale through all frequencies from the lowest you set to the highest, based on the load occuring. Basically it scales CPU based on realtime needs of the system, saV2 supposedly incorporates some more agressive settings for screen off, and I believe quicker scaling than the original smartass.

Thanks a lot, man! And now I think that I had made my choice:
Governor: SmartassV2
I/O Scheduler: noop
Highly recommended!
Hi everyone,
I start this thread in order to ask wich governors and I/O Shedulers do you preffer. I put all the time as governor the smartassv2 and to I/O Sheduler the deadline, I dont know if this is the best combination but I see great perfomance using this.
Wich "Combo" do you use?

If sio/simple and interactiveX is availiable, i use those. If not I simply use default setting, cause they mostly are quite fine

Indeed I prefer interactiveX too, to bad it isn't avaiable for CM7... yet... and for I/O I like BFQ just for the name
very useful question, there is a topic about governors and i/o schedulers and i read it many times but personal opinions is nice to know.
i'm on smartassv2 and deadline on zeus v6 right now..
performance is very good, battery drain during the night is also good.. but i got the feeling that the battery drain during the day is a bit too much.
Hello guys.
Aosip rom looks promissing but not sure which kernel to use.
Leaving that aside for a moment. The question that bugs me the most is which io scheduler to use.
My daily usage would be mostly games and movies/music.
Sometimes cam too but i dont use my cam that much.
There are few schedulers im thinking of:
Zen (even tho i couldnt find a kernel that has it)
Fiops
Bfq
Bfs
Thanks ahead!
a lot of recent tests have shown that Fiops has a clear advantage over the other schedulers. I can link the article later if you want
I think most people (and I'm including myself in this) would struggle to notice any perceivable difference in real world performance.

yup, very true. regardless, I use the tried and true deadline.

Yep me too. Used to use noop. Tried fiops too.

Would be great ^^
Also i couldnt find any kernel for my nexus 6 that runs on 5.1.1 and supports zen scheduler

BFS is NOT an io scheduler. It is a cpu scheduler which cannot be changed in userspace.
There is not much of a difference in throughput between the io schedulers but Bfq is best when it comes to interactivity.

Is bfs the best cpu scheduler?
What is it good for?

I use noop. After switching around, it was the best for me
