is there a kernel for the 2.2.1 froyo that supports the "Smartass" governor, such as the one found in CM7?
there's a smartass governor in CM7? where???
Haha nice one, smartass! ^

This GINGERBREAD (2.3) one supports it...
Other then that, I've never tried a kernel with it.

i think (not sure) that all cm7 kernels support the "smartass" governor.. but i'm looking for a froyo kernel for "stock/based on stock" roms that support smartass..
i come from a HTC android culture, where the smartass governor was widely available/used.. and i have to say it beats all the others in terms of usability (speed and responsiveness) over other governors like interactive, ondemand, and conservative..
so it would be great if such a kernel exists...
if anyone knows something about this, please do share your thoughts..
Hi,
Since we can add the smartass module developped for the X8, I wonder what are the pros/cons of smartass vs. ondemand, as regards energy consumption and performance.
If there's already information about that, feel free to point me to the source. But don't hesitate to give me your opinnion based on your experience.

Rudimentary comparisons:
Generally:
Performance: Smartass < Ondemand
Battery life: Smartass > Ondemand
Cheers
SpyderX
Remember to set correct settings for smartass.
Thanks SpyderX, in your comparison is there any way to have an idea about how much one is better than the other (5% or 25% advantage or disadvantage....) ?

No. But battery life can last a whole day more using smartass and moderate use. As for performance smartass governor will cause minor lag on opening apps etc.
Hi, i have just flashed the new HyperDroid v5.2.21 (Full wipe) and i wanted to know if i can overclock my SGS2 from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz, if so how do i go about it?
Do i need to change the current kernel (XWL1)?
P.S ive heard its stable, but does it drain the battery?
Thanks XDA Community
Hello there. Yep you can overclock but you need a kernel that supports it. [url="http://gokhanmoral.com]SiyahKernel[/url] is a good choice. With that, use the Voltage Control app from the market.
However I know nothing about battery draining or stability... dualcore 1.2GHz mobile processor is more than enough for me, and the phone can get pretty hot under maximum load, same with the MALI GPU which can be overclocked to 400MHz (but since it has 4 cores and the phone has no active heatsinks it could get risky...)

I think AndroidMeda kernel already supports OverClocking...using this ROM for a quite long time...

Yes you can overclock and you can stick with the kernel that comes with Hyperdroid. I am currently Overclocking 1.6ghz max and 200 min. Not touching voltages though. Use No-Frills app to set it up. My advice though to you no point in overclocking as 1.2ghz is good enough as it is..And the kernel you are on is good enough...It is stable depending what voltage frequencies you use..I say leave it as they are. And like i said download No-Frills from the market..Set your clock speeds and that should be it..Choose a governor and off you go

No-Frills ? AndroidMeda Developers recommend Voltage Control (and I personally like it much more than No-Frills, too) with their kernel.
+ Here is a small guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036020 how to test your OC Settings, I use it when I am testing new voltages.
Thanks for the replies i will try out the no-frills app and see what happens. What would you say is the best governor to use? and wouldnt you recommend going over 200min?

Pongster uses No-Frills. The rest of the team uses Voltage Control. And to avoid any freezes or random reboots leave the voltage settings as they are till you get to grips with the overclocking. Hence why i suggested No-Frills as currently Voltage Control for me kept on reverting back to stock frequencies..And yes there is a way round it but it is to much of an effort

I am currently using ondemand and Sio as scheduler. You can not go wrong with that. Like i said..choose a governor choose a scheduler and let them do the work...I also do recommend Voltage control but No-frills is simple and does the job for you. And no i would recommend either go to 100min or stick with 200...I am currently on 1.6max and 200 min

I personally use Sleepy governor and noop scheduler, but everyone uses different governors and schedulers...
I think 200 min is OK...100 MHz is too low and 500 is too high...

Dude..he is just learning...let him take baby steps first before he jumps right up and wants to walk.... Let him follow what i suggested and then he can come back and ask for more help once he tries his new settings out...I remember you use to ask a lot of questions before..And i said the same thing..baby steps first before you start walking

Good..Now thanks wont hurt
Thanks for the support guys, and yeah i am new to this whole android/rooting scene so no-frills looks like a nice simple and easy option for now until i get to grips with things. i will try out the differen governors and schedulers and see whats best for me.
P.S Neo is yours running stable at the maximum 1.6ghz?

Yes my friend pretty stable. Listen go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817 and read regarding governors and schedulers..Pretty straight forward and good explanations...And i am running the latest hyperdroid version but i am using Siyah kernel with thunderbolt tweaks...For you i would use the kernel that comes with the rom and use the default governor that comes with the rom...When i was on previous kernel version i always use to use Kenobi...Not sure if they have it there or if Pongs removed it but either that or solo...

Neo when i overclock to 1.6ghz with 200min using the lulzactive governer and SIO scheduler my phone freezes i have to reboot it?
whats the best setup to run 1.6ghz so its stable for everyday use?
P.S anyone know if it drains the battery by overclocking?

Hi all, now i'm using vr- lulzactive with 100-1200 and stock voltages can somowone teach me what is the best governor and i/o for this rom?
cfq/ondemand are usually paired with siyah kernel

This is difficult to say, as it depends on your hardware, apps, settings, region, carrier and usage ... and what is "best" for you (best performance or best battery life).
So, you may have to check out the available governors and schedulers yourself.
Here is a very good thread about io schedulers and governors => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
If you don't read it already and want to know more.
What's the best CPU governor for GT-i9300?
Following are the CPU governors available:
1) ondemand
2) userspace
3) powersave
4) pegasusq
5) performance
Im looking for fast speed (ie no lag) and good battery life. Thanks!

What is good for your needs might not be good for someone else's needs. Try them and work it out which is best for you.
We're all looking for speed and battery life; it's always a fine balance!

Please bother to read the faqs and guides .
Basics read first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344125
Critical you read the first two posts .
Quick tip, do your research... just search for "CPU governors information xda" into Google and read one or more of the information threads that come up. These explain the various merits and shortcomings of each governor so you can decide for yourself which is best.
