Best kernel tuning app - HTC Droid DNA

Been using trickster mod, cuz I love it and it seems not to have caused too much incompatibility except for s2w. But I am concerned that it may not utilize all abilities of the kernels being devd. And some things may not stick at times ... I'm NOT s-off yet if that would make a different.
Kernel tuner seems to be the popular alternative and pimp my Rom claims to be universal between phone/Rom/kernel...
Any reasonable suggestions/specifications I should use one over the other.. I appreciate any/all replies.

have you tried kernel tuner? it updates weekly,lots of options and pretty stable.

I did... But didn't delete trickster and they conflicted.. so I deleted tuner until I could commit ..thank you for your input

I know it's so old school, but (FWIW) I'm still using SetCPU.

system tuner works best for me. Kernel tuner never works on my phone right and setCPU is too old school

Ill def check that out... The ONLY thing I like about kernel tuner is that it allows for multicore decision making. Per core freqs, govs n such. Don't think any other app cept maybe faux can do it...also kernel tuner has been known to overwrite or affect at least some of crpalmer and/or zarbos built in modules.. this I dislike. Trickster on gnex seemed to adapt to the kernel and its available features... i Ill do system tuner now and take a gander ...thx for a different option... Exactly what I was looking for

[Q] Is 'Set CPU for Root Users' now working ?

i am running cm7.2 rc1 and i've had this app working fine on my sony for a while but i thought i tried it on the NT and i thought it just bombed out... . . well the app dev ( Michael Huang ) came out with an update to rev 3.0 ( big changes ) and so i thought i'd test it again... it working... it sure looks like its working... but because i am REALLY old ( semi lucid ), can some body else test this goodie also, please.
thx.

You need an overclockable kernel.

That's true if you want to overclock but you can use apps like setcpu to underclock, set profiles for clock speeds or set a steady clock speed without a custom kernel that supports overclocking.

[Q] Setting CPU speed

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

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.

Here's the thread for Trinity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083885
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.
Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?
Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.
I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

What does that app do specifically?
Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings
All i really need is better battery life lol
Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance
Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?
I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?

seeder is an apps that is focused on reducing the lag that sometimes occur while opening apps and switching to home screen.

I'm using the light profile, which as the dev says cause minimum battery drain. and I still haven't experience any considerable impact on battery life. I guess it's fair enough to sacrifice some juice to get more performance. I think you'll agree.
also strangely enough, I get better performance from the light profile than the aggressive ones.
thanks for the info on crossbreeder, would keep an eye on it.
Agreed, i also have it integrated in my aokp rom.Just a few terminal commands activate seeder.

yep, an app offers customization whereas a flashable zip is something like plug-and-play.
but if there is no need for any customization, I think a zip would just do the Job fine.

It depends, I guess on which rom you use, and other stuff, but if you want better performance over battery life then aggressive profile will do, but if you are more into saving juice then light profile will be useful.
Just play around with the phone with different profiles and see which one is best for you.
IO Queue, My guess; the events that must be handled by the processer are queued before they are actually processed, IO schedulers decide the order which they are sent into the processor. So I guess by extending the IO queue it makes Sheduler decisions more better.
This is as to my own knowledge.
Correct me if I'm wrong '
P.S. - I'm currently not using Extend IO queue option.

Im actually workin through em myself, things are a bit diff for me than the exynos' ive grown accustomed to. On those I would almost exclusively run pegasusq, but that is not the case now so im testing back and forth. Been giving Smartmax a go. I have a feeling unless we're using performance or conservative the biggest diff we'll see won't be battery life, but rather responsiveness etc under load, scaling between these govs is fairly diff
So I guess we'll just have to share as we go
I don't know if its the ROM, the Kernel or both but I feel like my phone is a lot snappier! Thanks for the hard work!
