Hey guys,
I am in need of anyone who has some broad knowledge of tweaking kernel governors. More specifically the lulzactive for the un named kernel.
I am running zr3d ics if that helps. I am also using cfq scheduler along with lulzactive. This is a fantastic combination that suits my needs very well. However this setting drains my battery pretty quickly. My question is how do I tweak it to still have performance as the upper hand but still have decent battery life? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Wow its been a couple days now. Come on guys, doesn't anybody know how to tweak this governor?

Dude, you posted it yesterday, take it easy.
Maybe google can help, im not a dev.
Actually it was on the 23rd and if you read my post I was asking for someone who had knowledge of this subject. You don't have to be a dev to know how to do this and obviously you didn't have to reply to my post since you don't know anything about what I am talking about. I guess I might have to search for myself if no one can help with this.

uhm, are you sure tweaking your governor is what you need? why not change the combination based on your needs/battery?
namely I would suggest taking a look at SetCPU... great app, allows for some governor tweaking, and more importantly allows you to switch between govs/schedulers depending on battery state, sleep/wake, open apps, battery temp and a host of other conditions.
hope this helps

He wants to tweak the governor itself, from what i understand.
SetCPU can do that as well, on some level
Thank you for your replies guys. I havnt thought of it like that. I'll give the app a go and see what happens with that. I am a big fan lulzactive. I'm always open for suggestions and solutions. I like learning new things about this stuff and I apreciate all your answers.
By the way, I am not imitidated to learn these kind of things. I am already good with programming web pages and games from python. Please do not underestimate my intelligence. This is a hobby for me and its fun for me. I would greatly appreciate it if you know of a guide or could point in the direction of where I can learn this stuff and I will give you two thank yous from me.

My apologies, I didn't pay attention to how I sounded, no part of that was meant to be an insult.
info on the lulzactive:
http://tegrak2x.blogspot.com/2011/11/lulzactive-governor-v2.html
app for tuning it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegrak.lulzactive
should you want to tune manually, all the relevant variables are located at:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/lulzactive/
hope this helps, and sorry for sounding like a pompous ass
Thank you for being sincere. I did get that impression and glad that you cleared that up. And thank you for helping me out with these materials. I greatly appreciate the help.

Try this link, someone posted it earlier on the Tigers Blood Kernel thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731
This explains how to over clock a cpu and the what, why and how it does what is does. It works pretty much the same on the phone cpu but the phone voltage is way less

Hey guys
sorry to ask this question but its always been bugging me..Im pretty familiar with all the governors now. But there are more than keep popping up and from reading through the forums some say one thing and some say different about what each individual governor does....
My question is..What is BrazilianWax governor and what does its role do when using setcpu and what is savagedzen?
are they to do with performance and not intend for battery performance im just getting a bit confused now
if anyone would care to take time and just give me a brief explanation i would appreciate it....
Just to clear i am familiar with the normal governors like ondemand and the rest just the two above im wondering about Brazilianwax and savagezen...if someone can shed a light i would appreciate it

Hi guys,
I have just successfully installed Cyanogen 7.1 on my Legend. I've been searching a little here and there regarding configurations, clocking & such. Found this very clear guide on how to overclock a Legend:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794829
However, when I navigated to Settings-> CyanogenMod settings-> Performance-> CPU settings
I found a built in option to set both max & min CPU frequency......so I'm wondering, is it still needed to follow the guide I linked or can I overclock the phone by just changing the CPU frequencies in the menu I found?
Yeah, you could do it your way, but with overclocking, you'll be finding yourself switching back and forth often.
Use SetCPU. It's not free on the market, but free for XDA forum users.
So I fixed SetCPU on the phone, but I have absolutely no clue how to use it (I'm quite the newb when it comes to this). Is there any guide on how to use the application? Perhaps even for Legend specifically?
Also, is there a point in chaning my kernel version?
Right now, and I never changed it, I have:
2.6.32.17
What's not to understand in SetCPU? Tap autodetect and set your clocks. If you're unable to perform such a task, then don't even try to overclock.

There's a whole lot not to understand when seeing the application for the first time. And IF there would be a guide, catching up and understanding the application would go faster.
I'm sure you were new to overclocking at some point aswell cyRq. Or perhaps you're a born OC-genious?
Anyway, I managed to figure out how to use it.
Actually I've had a couple of awards/points on hwbot.org if you're really asking me about OC...
A genius? Not really. But I obtained a magical skill called reading (sometimes I can even write).
But seriously...good to hear that you've managed to figure things out. Good look and don't smoke your phone.

What's wrong with this guide???
Sometimes I wonder what would happen to this society in time. People fortunate enough to have everything at their disposal act as they were blind, def and cripled. Pitty.
I thought the purpose of a Q&A section is for dumb people to ask dumb questions? If you don't agree with/can't handle that without spamming question marks & express your fear of future society, then why bother to look in these threads at all?
I never saw the guide you reffered to, and obviously I already knew from the start that there is guides out there. I was asking if any kind soul had the power to link a good one. I could've searched for & found a guide myself, hell I learnt the goddam application without one.
I was asking for a friendly advice is all.
zzzzzzzzzZ(z)
--> oh, & calm down :X cool senior members acting all arrogant, now that's a pitty
Spam is yours... repeating the same question over and over again. I answered you clear and simple with a link to a guide that has been there since I don't remember how long.
Q&A is definitely not storage for duplicate questions. And I certainly don't see any arogance in my answer which I'm sure will help someone.
Alright alright. In the end it comes down to me not wanting to sabotage my phone by lack of experience.
Your post was helpful, however slightly spiced with condescension. But that's alright, my bad for expecting anything else on the internet.
I lay down my sword
I put "setcpu" into Google's search box and 1st hit was that guide...
Sent from my HTC Legend
Okok, once again I stand corrected.
Don't worry mate, I knew it was a lazy question. And as I wrote earlier; I am aware that there is a whole bunch of guides for setcpu out there. My only thought was that there might be some specific configurations for HTC Legend alone that could be made, and perhaps there would be a guide for that. Which is the reason for why I opened this thread under HTC Legend section in the first place.
hi,
i cant seem to manage the I/O schedular stays on deadline.
i was able to a while back on the same kernel ?
or might it be something involving the rom that i am using ?
secondly if someone finds an understandable explenation on the different types of governers would be amazing.
so many choices and cant seem to fully understand by googling.
Here Mate all Q&A for your topic

Is there a way to watch CPU or I/O demand of applications on the android. It's pretty obvious when one app goes rogue, but what if you phone isn't totally slowed, but something is off. Any way to help identify which apps. require the more resource to then consider removal?

Is it wrong to hope the learned people of this forum would share the top 3 or so apps that perform this functionality as opposed to searching endlessly on Google for something that looks like it would work?

Is it wrong to hope that People follow Rule 1 on a developing website and find information themselves that has been discussed numerous times over the last few years.

Do you expect people prove that they have done hours of searching on the site before posting a question?
BTW, your search suggestion didn't even address my question.
My question has to do with rogue applications that slow down my phone, I'm not looking for applications that drain the battery.
I'm assuming the apps resource utilization:. Memory, CPU, Network or other is the root cause. Some apps could potentially cause
phone sluggishness without killing the battery; constant network pinging or other buggy behaviors.
For example: I've learned that the issue may have to do with android memory management, in general it's apparently slow.
This would make sense because I've loaded quite a bit of applications on my phone by using link2sd. I was expecting a performance boost now that I've moved the majority of my applications off of the phone and freeing up internal phone storage. However, this hasn't helped.
I'm not just looking for apps, but also suggestions or tips and tricks on how to figure phone performance issues...
Regards,
Mike

Now had you made your OP such a post then my reply may have been different or I wouldn't have replied at all, but even so, Android isn't new and searching is going to give you better answers by reading what's been posted before which you seem to have been doing, which only takes you so far. Have you tried build.prop or init.d scripts to try and speed things up?
