Hi everyone,
I'm really really sorry for asking a seemingly stupid question like this, but I browsed the forum and asked google to no avail:
How do I activate/enable the smartAssV2 governor (or any others for that matter)? SetCPU or CPU Master show only 4 governors, I think those are the default ones. But if I'm not mistaken, the other govenors (looking for smartassv2 myself) should be included in CM9, right? I have a rooted SGS2 and the CM9 "final" installed. Didn't find the govenors on my SGS+ either, but didn't think too much about it.
I also tried downloading the governor and installing it in CWM, but that just gave me an error...
hope somebody can help....
Different kernels have different governors. Try looking through some kernel threads to see which ones have the governors you need. Siyah has SmartassV2, amongst many others.

LOL I was asking OP
Well, at first I was using the stock CM9 kernel (which should have the smartassv2 governor I think), now I'm using the Fluxi kernel (which also has the governor, according to the description) - but with neither of these kernels I can select anything else than "interactive", "conservative", "ondemand" and "performance"...
Oh, and btw, I already looked in lib/modules, and there is no module for smartassV2 - but then again, maybe it is compiled into the kernel? how can I check this?
I think this is something really simple that I missed, but all the tutorials also just say "install CM9, select smartassV2 as governor..." so I'm assuming it should just be there?
Installed the Dorimax kernel, now I have other governors...which is OK, but I'm still confused as to why no other governors showed for the CM9 kernel. I can live with this "solution" though.
I too face a similar problem. I flashed siyah kernel in my sgs2 and couldn't find smartassv2 governor. I tried setcpu, no frills cpu and even stweaks. I have all other governors like lulzactive and hotplug but no smartassv2. Is there a way to find it? This is driving me crazy for days.
Sorry if i posted in wrong section but this thread was related.
Thanks in advance.

Have you done undervolt also?
This is the main cause.
The problem is from your kernel
what kernel are you on, to overclock the best kernel is siyah kernel for ics roms
SiyahKernel for SGS2 | "One kernel to rule them all"
www.gokhanmoral.com
once you do this you should't have a problem anymore
if i helped press thx

Said the man who just posted that there are no stable ICS ROMs.
Great advice about overclocking though - the OP obviously really wants to, he just ended up underclocking buy some twist of fate... Good you're here to fix it for him
You cannot possibly be for real.
may i know how to undervolt and what app should i need to use to underclocking/overclocking？
i used battery saver pro to underclocking but my phone hang and force shutdown

Hey guys so what I want to know ... Is there a way to overclock the Kernel that is in your phone. I found the files that tell the Kernel what the maximum clock speed is, and I changed them all BUT the phone kept changing them back. I have su access. Any ideas?
No-frills CPU Control, you can find it in the Play Store for free.

Hey there
This isn't correct, you can't overclock a Kernel using CPU control. You can increase the clock speed to the maximum allowed within the kernel but that isn't technically overclocking. I want to change the modules without flashing a whole new kernel. Any ideas?
Thanks
Carl.

Currently using SuperICS 1.0.3 nightly on my S2G. With so many governors and i/o to choose I'm confused which is better. Would you guys tell me which governor and i/o are the best for saving battery as I'm always switching between data and wifi. Used to use hotplug with noop but it isn't available in SuperICS. Am using smartassV2 and noop.
Thanks in advance.

Mate if u can u can try pegasus + sio for battery if u have available but best thing wot you can do if u look in general section and find thread abut that in that thread you will find out everything wot you need

you can get kernels which come with applications, for example Siyah kernel comes with an application, ExTweaks. you'll need ExTweaks pro to switch profiles in-app but otherwise you can change in recovery, there is a battery optimized profile which I found rather good, a performances optimized and the default profile. I personally use Dorimanx kernel, its based on Siyah kernel but has tweaks already made, it gives me great battery life and great performance aswell. The best thing you can do is experiment
Hello all, i have a question, i am using the Phenomenal 3.0 normal version kernel and is using SETCPU apps to manage my CPU speed. However, when i try to set the speed to 1100mhz and above, the CPU speed does not go up to 1100mhz and above, instead it always stay at 1000mhz.
Has anyone experinece this before? if yes, has anyone any steps to resolve this?
Could it be the undervolt issue that is preventing me for going up to 1100mhz?
Thanks.
Looking at the thread it doesn't look like the kernel has overclock capabilities,

I am not trying to overclock, just trying to go to 1400mhz at times but i just cant go past 1000mhz, only when i restart the phone, then it will go to 1400 at times...
seem like i have solve the problem by untick the cpu power saving under the power saving option. However, it seem like the SetCPU apps is useless as i am unable to control the CPU anymore.. is that true? or are there any apps that can overcome this issue?

Have you tried using other apps, instead of SetCPU, or are you running two CPU-manipulation apps at once?
Try clearing SetCPU's data/cache and try again
I personally use AnTuTu CPU Master, but that is a personal choice, I guess

I have SETCPU and system tuner pro... does these 2 apps cause the issue that i have?
Phenomenal kernel is a ready to use kernel. You cannot change any settings here in this kernel. It's not like any other kernel wherein gives you the ability to configure the cpu and gpu. Setcpu will only work with other kernels such as SiyahKernel. This will give you the ability to set the cpu and gpu freq and voltage. The power saving mode limits the power of your cpu, thus disabling it will increase cpu freq

Nope. Stock kernel will not allow you to change it. If you're on stock ics rom, i would suggest you use siyah kernel v1.5.2. I'm once a user of it. If you need a guide in underclocking and undervolting, you can find the best guide here posted by bala_gamer. You can also settings in his signature which you can use.

Yes sir I know. But I just want to give other options. So that he can choose which is good for him. He can overclock upto 1800mhz in siyah kernel. But afaik, he is more on overclocking with undervolting to have performance and battery life.

Thank you all for your good advise... now i know why i cant set my CPU speed due to kernel.
Will look into trying other kernel if i really like to control my CPU.

Nope. Pretty straightforward and it's been around for a while now. Used it with my Galaxy S II as well.

And you are very right!!!!! Doesnt matter what app you use u cant overclock on stock kernel!!!! Stock kernel doesnt have the provision for that. And if members who send links read those links properly before they send them they will realise that you need a kernel that supports overclocking like siyah!!!!!!!!!!!! Stock kernel doesnt.

You need to actually go look at the Tegrak app before you start typing....
After many many attempts of making my own scripts (and failing horribly), I found a decent base and created multiple scripts that use the conservative governor for better battery life and a mixture of performance and battery life. I'll be posting a couple variants for different kernels.
You'll need SManager or ROM Toolbox to run these scripts.
These will create MUCH BETTER CPU scaling. You might notice slight, but quick, lag when the screen transitions under the performance and balanced scripts. The battery saving one will definitely have lag in it.
I personally prefer the balanced tweaks.
NEW SCRIPTS TO WORK WITH ALL KERNELS THAT SUPPORT THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNOR!

The ones from Box. Not the ones directly uploaded to XDA. Once I get to a computer, I'll upload some better scripts I've got going and one that works extremely well for houstonn's 162MHz kernel.

FIOPS, Deadline, and CFQ are all way better than BFQ.
Yeah I know. I use FIOPS, now. Got a few different scripts that I'll upload shortly which will make wheatley, ondemand, interactive and intellidemand better on battery.
