Hi guys,
I've been looking fruitlessly for an FAQ where the following stuff is described:
- discussion of the different governors (smartass/smoothass/performance/...)
- discussion of the methods for overclocking (is NoFrills the only/preferred way to set overclocking, or are there better tools?)
thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

Hi Drythe,
I don't know if there's a FAQ around here for that. As far as OC apps are concerned I've only used SetCPU which is free for download at its XDA thread. I guess NoFrills does the same as SetCPU but I've never tried it out as I never needed to. If you're using CM7 and you have CM's submenu under settings you can even set there the min/max CPU frequencies, the governor and the set-on-boot option. That's the standard options. SetCPU also gives you the possibility of defining min/max/governor profiles for a number of different scenarios (battery percentage or temperature;screen on/off, etc.) As for a way of setting the OC, any one of them is enough and none will give you better OC per se, of course
Choose the one you like the most and use it, it won't make a difference on the OC.
About the governors, some of them are self-explanatory (conservative, powersave, performance,...), some of them may not be. You'd be better off googling for the specific governor you want to know about and reading some results about it.
If you have the time and compile that information into a new thread, the better.
Happy OCing!
Cheers!
And when you do, please post in relevant section (not dev )

Yes yes yes...
By the way, Smoothass appears to be a very elusive target. I'm using it but couldn't find any info
Smoothass is an improved smartass. The way it scales between the frequencies was changed but mantains the smartass original concept. From what I reckon, smoothass is the advisable one to use.
Cheers.
is smoothass an improved smartass like said above?

I've searched the Legend subforum for setcpu and have come up with nothing relevant so here goes..
I'm looking for Legend-only SetCPU profile suggestions. I've found quite a few other forums with their own device specific profiles posted and I'm almost positive I cannot be the only other Legend & SetCPU user here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I want to know too
I use these profiles;
Charging/Full 600/600 performance
Screen-off 480/122 userspace

But this is just downclocking because the legend default processor frecquency is 600MHz.¿¿How can we overclock the processor to i.e. 800MHZ??
I wonder what are the differences between the cpu governor settings in Cyanogenmod 7 .
I'm currently using ondemand option, i'm good with it but i want to know what smartass or interactive etc. do. And why to choose the others except ondemand or poversaver. And which works better for ace.
And of course, which option do you use ?

Thanks for the link, that was very helpful.
What does the Governor do?
- Conservative Governor
- Lazy Governor
Search much? First result searching this site for those two governors.

Thanks a lot guys :*:*:*
Hey, so basicly im running cm10,2 on my SIII and im just woundering what the best tweaks/mods are to improve battery life,
so far i have
install rom toolbox pro, and set the cpu profiles up as to lower cpu power as the battery drains
(confued as to what i/o scheluler i should use, and governor, i have done lots and reading but selectedi/o cfq and gov is pagasusk
plus under sysctl tweaks and govenor there are alot more setting, but im affraid to touch them as i dont want to become unstable
i also have greenefy and du battery saver i also have trustgo antivirus,
also if someone could help me, du battery saver have cpu lowering capabilys and if i was to use it with rom toolbox pro cpu profiles, would this conflict,
my kernel is 3.064-cm-g0a49c6d
and ive been looking at pimp my rom, app, but i dont know if its safe and benifishal,
sorry for spelling,
cheers jason
not sure if you're mentioning undervolting with "lowering cpu power" but if you're not you should try to undervolt your cpu

I don't know much about CPU Governors, IO Schedulers, TCP etc.
Can any pro please explain these things?
Is there any better governor than Performance?
And what are other things? How do they affect the performance? I am a noob so please explain it as simple as you can
And if possible please give best settings for Games like injustice 2.
Thank you.
I am sure many others will also have these questions.
Thanks in Advance :angel:
Just change the cpu governor to interactive and change the cpu frequencies as u like this should be enough for you as u have just begun.. Later u your self will learn how to do it.. ? leave the rest settings as it is, for now at least.
