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 use custom kernel and increase performance
i set my governers to lionfish and disable fsync and i/o sceduler to maple its works great

Thanks both for the replies. What kernel do you use? And is there a trade-off when disabling fsync?

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.

i been using setcpu for a while now and want to no how to use advanced settings.. just looking to make my phone run better.. thanks
I havent used setCPU for a long time so Im not sure if you mean some advance settings in the app itself?
Are you talking about like adjusting the governor settings? Modifying voltages? adjusting I/O scheduler? Tweaking kernel settings? Tweaking VM settings?

if u go into advanced it has sampling rate..... up threshold......... ignore nice load....... powersave bias...
I really wouldn't mess with those unless you want to brick your device and fry your processor.

Ah so governor settings then. None of the actual advanced things
Sampling rate has an impact on battery life and smoothness. Set it to around 15000-20000 for good smoothness on a governor, 50000 or so if you want decent smoothness but better battery.
This is how often it samples the load to the CPU to choose if speed should be ramped up or down.
UpThreshold also has a big effect on smoothness as this tells how much load % is needed on the CPU to increase the speed.
Powersave bias is basically slowing the CPU down a certain number of frequency steps. SO lets say you ahve your CPU set at default max speed of 1188000, a powersave bias of 50 would mean your new max speed is 1134000 which is the next step down.
Governor settings change how your governor reacts. Only some governors can be modified and some to more extent than others. I think Conservative has the most adjustment, but the best sampling rate it cna have is only 200,000. So that makes it kind of useless for any sort of smoothness. If you tweaked conservative to give great smoothness then you would be better off with OnDemand as at the same smoothness OnDemand would give better battery life since it can stay at a slower speed more often as its sampling rate is much better.

Thats kinda terrible advice. All this is doing is changing governor settings. He didnt say anything about wanting to mess with voltages.
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?

well yeah i have that, im running cubed ics kernel 2.3.5, and i just want a better way to make my overclock stick and which governor will give the best performance without completely using up the battery, kind of a happy medium but leaning a little more towards performance. I guess I didnt explain that good enough

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.

hey thanks for all that info
I have no problems keeping my Governor (Wheatly) set with System Tuner using the set CPU preference to remember after boot complete.
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.

Hello all
I have a bit of a small problem. I like to run my phone using the Performance Governor but after a while it goes to 1Ghz on all 4 cores despite me running it at 1.8Ghz. Setting it back seems to correct the issue but in time it goes down again.
I believe it is getting a bit warm and thus it hits a limit and the system auto slows to 1Ghz.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour? It never happened to me before but I have had a few kernel updates and updates to the Omega ROM that could be the cause but I am not sure. Is there a setting where I can tell my phone what temps to throttle at?
Also, I assume all this is down to the Kernel and not the ROMs?
Would like some imput regards where to start my search to return my phone to its previous state as a pocket heater.
Many Thanks

Don't use it. Pegasusq is the only one really working for multi-core CPU's with hotplugging and so on.
but after a while it goes to 1Ghz on all 4 cores despite me running it at 1.8Ghz.

1.8Ghz is not healthy for the CPU in the long run and will cause overheating which is exactly what you are currently seeing.
Especially since you keep the phone on 100% CPU power all the time (performance governor) which should drain battery like hell as a side effect.
Also, I assume all this is down to the Kernel and not the ROMs?

This is down to your settings. Neither rom nor kernel.
- Don't overclock (much)
-Use a good kernel such as Siyah
-Undervolt if the phone remains stable
-Use pegasusq Governor
-Enjoy

Hi buddy and thanks for your response.
I am not sure about what you said regarding it working correctly, it gets the best results for any benchmark compared to others so I would be interested in more detail about the specifics of how its not working correctly as I have never been told that. It would be appreciated.
I dont mind the battery drain although I do heed your warning about about longevity of the CPU.
I have been using Siyah Kernel for some time now and I find undervolting a little unstable, for now I am forced to use pegasusq.
Can you or anyone else answer the original question as I still wish to pursue this to a resolve other than not using it.
Many thanks for your time and efforts non the less!

it´s samsung´s based roms related: when the battery temp hits 41C the cpu will throttle. Nothing related with de cpu temp (can be at 80C before throttles).
try CM10.1 and you´ll see what im talking about.
We need a solution for this throttling with samsung based roms
Hi girls and guys!
I've been searching for recommendations on optimizing the settings in the Boeffla Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-05-10-2015-t3218164 through Andi's app.
And because I couldn't find any thread about it, I decided to create one.
So please feel free to post your settings and maybe tell us if you are more keen on battery life or performance, or both, and how you use your phone (gaming, browsing, maybe even making calls!? )
Thank you!
Theese are my values..
i use Interactive on both cluster with preference set to Interactive-Battery,
I/O on SIO
Boeffla Tweak enabled
so far so good, UI is smooth, battery is good, still 35% after 4 hours of screen time...

That system tweaks option is deprecated, says so on boefflas website. Although I don't know what's @Lord Boeffla take on these tweaks in oxygenOS.
The following presets are available:
Off: No system tweaks in place, everything on stock configuration (I would recommend this)
Boeffla tweaks: this will load the Boeffla-Kernel system tweaks - smoothness and performance (nowadays I would not recommend this anymore)
Speedmod tweaks: this will load the same tweaks as used in Hardcore's Speedmod kernel
Mattiadj tweaks: Tweak set mainly for settings of the Dalvik VM created by user Mattiadj, specifically for playing heavy games
Boeffla system tweaks were recommended by me for a very long time, however Samsung did a quite good job in improving both firmwares and kernels, so nowadays I recommend to not use system tweaks anymore for daily usage.

I SUGGEST EVERYONE TO USE SCHEDULER NOOP AS IT IS FOR EXTREME BATTERY LIFE., also I suggest to decrease the read ahead buffer speed of SD card to 1024 as it will not drain the battery hence prolong the battery.

Expecting 6hrs sot with these settings if all goes well. My color profile tries to mimic true rgb but it may look different on another since not all calibrations are the same per device (even with same model).
These are my settings. Quite smooth and good battery life...
I am having cpu governor to battery and the hotplug of a53 to min2max4 from the a57 min0max4.
Best kernel there is!
I go good with stock boeffle settings. Between 4h-6h SOT..

It depends on the mood of the OP2... I saw already results of 52K as well... The benchmark isn't very reliable.
I'm on OOS 2.1.2 too. No other app or something else.

I feel that benchmark results are some cosmetic numbers which actually dont matter in real world. People with 52k score in antutu still get super smooth UI and smooth & lag free gaming with a good battery life (thats all everyone wants) . So thats the power of Boeffla kernel

System Tweaks are outdate as Boeffla says on his homepage. I think you could underclck gpu until 390, touchboost 960 ad use sio as io, what do you think?
Will testing it. Thanks for your suggestion.
