Hi all,
I dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but when i put my governor scaling to pegasusq, i can see lags in performance on my droid razr.
Whereas, hotplug mode works without much lag.
Also havent seen much difference in battery life, pegasusq probably gave me a 1 or 2 more hours of usage.
I've read about pegasusq that it works nearly same as hotplug, but with a screen off low processor state. Which is basically what i want, but the performance drops down a bit.

I think you got some problem...cause pegasushq is the smoothest governor on mine. Mind that I've installed the module in system I don't load it on boot using script...I got no init.d tweaks beside the undervolt script.

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...)

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 think 200 min is OK...100 MHz is too low and 500 is too high...

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.

Can somebody please explain the SetCPU governors to me? Normally I would use Smartass V2, but we only have the stock kernel.
The main governors I am curious about are mot_hotplug and hotplug. My phone seems to use a lot of battery when these are enabled, even with underclocked minimum scaling values.
Last night I ran my phone on ondemand at 300 min -300max (screen off profile) and it didn't drop 10%, first increment on battery reading stock ROM). Today while in school, it dropped from about 80% - 20% (using the same profile but with mot_hotplug).
Do all of the other governors manage both processors and hotplug can not?
You might as well use hotplug m8

Why? That doesn't make any sense based from the findings I posted.
I'm using mot-hotplug in a week I'll know
Was using ondemand but I read an article where it shows the descriptions. Apparently hotplug behaves very similarly to ondemand but has the capability to turn off the 2nd core if there isn't a lot of workload. I switched to hotplug and so far its shown a significant difference in battery life. However, it may be a placebo as well so i'll stick to it for a week or so and then compare.

I use kholks custom CPU governor it seems to be a lot snappier and battery use is good.
There is info in the development forum on here about it and using it.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
The whole time that i have had the rezound i have had problems with the cpu settings sticking, and i read somewhere that using a script to set it works best. would this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584508. and also since I have not really had luck with them sticking i would like to know what you guys think is the best governor, i was probably going to use smartassv2, wheatley, or pegesusq, but im not sure if they are the best for performance and all the explanations of them dont really tell if they perform in real life. Im looking for mostly performance, but i dont want something that will destroy my battery
edit: that link doesnt work, the download is missing, so what is a different way?

These are a bit dated and from another phone, but can provide a bit of insight into kernel governors and their behavior. Keep in mind a few technical points are different for our phone (different min/max clock speeds) but much is the same in general.
tl;dr Smartassv2 should meet your needs as a top performer while still gaining some battery savings. Try with noop or sio I/O scheduler. A modest undervolt, but avoid pushing it.

If your running performance governor your cpu runs at Max Freq so battery is going to be terrible plus the fact you have high usage,
please give more detail like rom kernel etc if you use task killers or greenify, ram managers
Other things like gaming

pegasusq, LionHeart, SmartassV2 are good governors try to balance performance and battery.
row and noop are good schedulers, but sio performs better in dual core processors.
Hi all, I'm happy with LOS performance during light and medium tasks, but my device stutters more than I'd like during heavy tasks (e.g. maps, waze, etc) and app switching. Since battery life has been great, I'm willing to sacrifice some SOT for a more buttery UX. If that's even possible...
I started by changing performance profile from balanced mode to performance mode... and I can honestly say I don't notice a difference.
Now I'm just starting to experiment with changing the CPU and GPU governors using Kernel Adiutor. I've changed both little/big CPUs and GPU from interactive to performance. I'm not sure how to measure the results, but my feeling is that all around performance has increased, but the device still struggles with heavy tasks and app switching.
Anyone else have success tweaking? Please share your methods

Hi,
Use may be a custom kernel to tweak more.
And here a thread to know about tweaks:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957
The best perf i got is with CPU gov bluactiv and io schedulers tripndroid.
But i did not tweaks all possible values.
I guess a lag will always be present as we have 2gb RAM phone
Disable fsync, set governor to darkness and scheduler to maple.

You can search for it for more info. But TL;DR, fsync prevents data loss when a sudden power outage happens. For example, you are saving something then you accidentally restart your phone for some reason, there is a chance, repeat, a chance of data loss. A whole year of having it disabled, I haven't had any loss.

changing data and cache partition to f2fs make it really smooth.
and with HD kernel it makes it even smoother.
Again for anyone following, here's a link to popular HD kernel for Honor 5x, https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/kernel-hotdog-2-0-1-t3544887
While gaming, set the governor to performance for maximum smoothness.
