I'm using a Pixel XL with Android Auto and android auto is pretty laggy while switching between apps, searching, etc. I found if I change my kernel governer to max performance everything becomes significantly faster. Is there any android auto mods or software that can automatically switch the kernel governer when Android Auto is running? I found an app called Kernel Tasker that does this, but it doesn't seem to detect android auto consistently.

I decided to get the setCPU app and check it out for the first time. I think I have a good handle on how to set it up and a good basic setup, but I have a few questions.
I am using the newest CyanogenMod ROM, CM 6 RC1
"Userspace" governor, the website lists it as "A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU" I am assuming this is some custom settings/tweaks included in the kernel by cyanogen/one of the dev's, but I am not sure. I have not enabled it yet until I know more about it, so some info here would be great. (the setCPU website says that all the governor profiles listed as available are based on the individual kernel, that is what made me think that the userspace is custom settings built in for cyanogenMod)
What would be a good "fail safe" temp setting to set up as a profile to prevent over heating in case something odd happens or I am outside on a hot day? I have it set to the default 50*C ATM.
Under advanced there is "powersave bias", defaults at 0%, anyone with a good setting to use for that?
Currently set it to over clock to 1113MHz, and I am looking for a good cross of extra speed/power with minimum battery impact or even some gain. (compared to stock) I have set up a screen off profile as well, with a 422MHz max to help battery life.
I did a search here on XDA and in google and didn't find much on this; I think a good "How To" sticky for setCPU would be great. Maybe give settings based on needs; performance, battery savings, or a good balance. (maybe break down the balanced option into battery biased and performance biased)
Anyone?...

So someone posted this in the 4g slide forum, it was used in the sg2 forum
It seems as if it should work, not knowing how scripts work i wanted to ask some smart people if this would be safe on the touchpad.
Ive been running it on my 4g slide with great results
What do you think?

its fine. it wont hurt your device to set cpu profiles to apply certain cpu settings when your touchpad is idle, screen off, battery low, etc etc. theres tons of free apps that can set cpu profiles. i use system tuner pro, and rom toolbox pro. also most cm9 roms will have profile settings in the system settings menus.
I recently rooted my Atrix HD, and it is now performing terribly -- Extremely laggy and slow, comparable to my old G1. I installed a good number of tweaks, primarily one to hide the soft keys and one to dim the screen lower than normal, along with the standard ROM Toolbox and such. I also installed Safestrap. Could a particular buggy application be causing this? My CPU monitor shows one core scaling normally, and the other nearly always stuck at max speed. I haven't tweaked the CPU clock speed or governor at all.
Download android tweaker and set the settings to performance.

Flashed this CM10 based ROM yesterday. Found that 2 key features that were baked into system in previous release are missing from this release.
First is Overclocking/underclocking of CPU through Settings->Performance. Now this options is missing altogether from the list.
Though this drawback can be mitigated by using Trickster Mod or similar app.
And second one is the option to "customize auto-brightness settings". There are some apps in the store that promise similar utility, but they never worked for me. This option wasn't needed if auto-brightness levels were not as super low as they are in this release.
Anyone noticed this?

1) I removed the CPU Settings because they're limited and don't work with this device as they should (Tegra needs a different kind of love).
2) I removed the auto brightness settings because they rely on the light sensor exposed to the rom... which we don't have. All the auto brightness is handled in the kernel (on ICS as on CM) so every operation in that menu is basically a no-op.
For 1, use CPU Adjuster or Trickster Mod from the market and you get a load more options that are guaranteed to work.
And for 2, check my kernel thread. You can mod the auto-brightness settings via sysfs, or wait a bit until wfd adds that feature to Kowalski Manager
Hope this clarifies why those two things are gone

Thanks for clarification. I appreciate it.
There are already different custom kernels getting released for Xiaomi Mi 3W. And "Kernel Adiutor" is always being suggested app to manage this customizabilities, but not all users (like me ) is too technical to understand things we can see in this app. I hope someone could explain like what would happen if you this, and do that. If you increase this, or lessen that. Or if youre that kind of user then it would be better if you do this or that.
That would be a great help if someone would start a thread like it, then where other users can also share how they setup their kernel settings, etc.
TAKE THESE:
[Kernel Settings]
Kernel: Stuxnet+ Alpha X
App used: Kernel Adiutor
1-CPU
CPU maximum frequency- 1267 MHz
CPU governer- Interective or OnDemand
Multicore powersaving- Enable
Explaination: This will make your device CPU to use limited frequency as you don't need full power in normal usage, it's like Balanced mode of MIUI.
2-CPU Voltage
Global Offset- (-75v) or (-50v)
Explaination: It limits the power consumed by each core upto 883 MHz, don't go beyond (-75v) it's harmfull for CPU.
3-GPU
GPU maximum frequency- 462 MHz
Explaination: Same as CPU.
4-Low Memory Killer
Select 'Medium'.
Explaination: Frequent RAM cleaning affect battery life, as once FREE RAM is below the level, it will auto clean RAM & thing process continues, as those apps will run again & so. Also this will helps you to make your apps on background for a long time.
Note 1: Make sure you check 'Apply on boot'. Otherwise your settings will set to default on each boot.
Note 2: You can use 'Greenify' to hibernate apps.
Note 3: Visibilty of options in Kernel Adiutor app depends upon the features of a kernel, if one kernel doesn't have that feature, it wont be show in this app.
Note 4: If you don't know a thing about kernel then please don't try this on your device. First search on Google, educate yourself & try this.
Enjoy.
