My SGA is on GB 2.3.6 (Russian ROM) and I have installed No-Frills CPU, but I am not able to use it to full potential. The Developer says I need some custom Kernels for this.
Which Kernels are these? Is it ok to use diff kernels?
what do u mean by "full potential"?
afaik for changing cpu scaling freq, cpu governor or changing disk io scheduler, u can do it even on stock kernel. maybe the selection is a little bit less, but it'll definitely works.
i dont know if cpufrills can also change cpu voltage, even so we dont have any kernel that support cpu voltage changing yet.
You might have seen No-Frills cpu, but few users are getting more governors than me using some diff kernel.
anyways, I want some other way, so that my cpu cuts down frequency really down when phone is locked, and jump up accoring to requirement. (Just like Cool'n quiet in AMD)
then u might wanna install cfroot kernel. it contain smartassv2 and interactiveX that do have automatic cpu down scaling when screen off.
but u can also set up profile to do it manually on other governors using setcpu.
What about the kernel by squadzone supposedly optimised for gingercruzt but it works for cm7 and has 6 IO schedulers, but cf-root is best for stock

My phone is already rooted and got busybox. So if I use cfroot, what would the affect on previous root and busybox? How do I backup current kernel if I need to go back.

no, it wont affect root as it also give root.
and just use clockworkmod recovery to create backup of ur whole rom. and if u just wanna restore kernel use the advance restore to restore just the kernel itself

Hey, I'm using ICS Final and I only have the InteractiveX and normal Interactive options but not the smartassV2. Where can I get it? I'm using the Smartass governor out of all of them. What is the difference between the two? (V1 & V2)
Thanx a lot for all the info mate. Can u just help me find one appropriate for my phone?

because in my update here in my country which was the 2.3.4 DXKPD doesnt suport tun.ko..
there no tun.ko in lib/modules..
i had downloaded the tun.ko from any ace gingerbread kernel..
still openvpn doesnt work..
just want to know..thanks for any help..
CF-Root? have you tried?
except that suggestion^^
dont want cfroot because it disabled tether..
btw..do you know why DXKPD doesnt suport tun.ko?
but the 2.2.1 DXKC1 does..
Cf-root doesn't Disable tethering
Sent from my Galaxy Ace on GLSMT 2.1 with XDA app.
Why don't you try just adding tun.ko? I dunno if that will work though.
It's working in cyanogenmod right?
kernel module will not just work like that. it depends on the kernel it were compiled agains. because so far we only had ketut compiled tun.ko for his cfroot, it will only work with cfroot. and it also specific to which cfroot version the tun.ko were compiled agains. tun.ko from cfroot b80 will not work on cfroot b82, and the other way around.

Off topic, are you working on your kernel?
it was working on cm..
but a bugged occur..openvpn always disconnects even there was 3g..
so why DXKC1 which was in froyo working/ i just download a tun.ko for froyo ace..
i had done downloading a tun.ko for gingerbread ace and placed it also to where i had put the tun.ko of my working openvpn when i was in froyo..
same process..
but error occur..
cannot allocate tun.ko..

Yes. Done adding ext4 support. But still having hard time enabling init.d. Even got bootloop when using ketuts cfroot kernel ramdisk. Guess im gonna ask ketut for his cfroot source and modify it

There's a governor called Scary.... I'm curious *wink wink*
Anyway I think ketut is busy these days. He's not logged in since 18 Oct *stalker*
i've tried them all. scary, minmax, smartassv2, savagedzen, brazilianwax etc
smartass and smartassv2 doesnt work well with my added additional frequency, give me sudden reboot. minmax is waste of juice, always running at highest possible frequency when screen on, totally ignoring system load. savagedzen is good, but it give low 3d perfomance, i dont know why but its wierd.
btw heres a good reading

Since i install de overclocking kernel.. My sgs2 it's heating up and the battery drain very fast.. I just update to litening 3.6.. And still the problem.. I want to install the stock overclock... How can i do it...
Did you tried Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script to remove all treaks and overclocking?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
there isn't overclock or underclock kernel , only you who can overclock or underclock your cpu , just install any kernel with clean install , and don't use any app and it will run with it's default settings , and if you want to underclock just use setcpu or voltage control and underclock it or even undervolt it , this will help you in heating issue some how ,
but read the 1st page in any kernel thread before flashing any kernel , just to be sure about what you are flashing and what you will get and what you won't
OC/UV kernel doesn't impact on temperature. Well, maybe slightly. Even on stock kernel you will have warm phone (just turn on navigation or play GTA and you will see). Maybe try to flash Siyah Kernel (which is friendly to battery life)?

yes our s2 cpu is heating with normal-heavy use bec. of our powerfull dual core cpu and gpu in a very slim plastic case , but underclock , undervolt help in heating some extent , but sure it will heat but less than normal , i am using my phone at 100-800 mhz and uv my cpu by -125 ma and my phone temp is 39-40 max , before my cpu was about 45 while playing angry birds or browsing
You could try formatting both internal and external SD's. Sometimes different ROM's don't like changing of file structures etc.
EDIT: You can also download a CPU control app such as No Frills to check your clock speed. Our standard/stock speed is 1.2Ghz/1200Mhz.
You can also try to go to a stock firmware, you have several threads in this forums with links to download some.
Did you try 1st to use Antutu CPU or CPU master to check the over clocking and make the min to 200 MHz and the max 1200 MHz as this is the stock one
if you are having Siyah kernel it will be easy for you to change from the Extweeks.

Still with heating problem.. I tried ultimate cleaner and flash again litening rom 3.6, and install no frills and setcpu but i don't know how to use it.. Here i let you 2 screenshots of no frills..
Hmmm, could you install CPU Spy, run it and continue as normal for 1-2 hours and post some sceenies please
This will show how often and for how long your cpu is sitting at each frequency step.

you can't. You need a custom kernel to do that
Is there any way to port these governor to stock kernel? because I don't want to unlock bootloader for the sake of warranty.
Then stay with your precious warranty and forget about smartassv2
Imho amongst stock governor in stock kernel, interactive is pretty good.
Hi,
I've been around the new developer's thread regarding zzmove governor, but, besides the fact that anyone can find the updated governors, I haven't been able to understand some things:
1. How to install it?
2. Do we need a separate kernel running with it?
3. Which kernel works better with zzmove?
4. Best profiles depending on different usage types?
Thanks in advance.

zzmove comes in a kernel. You have to flash a kernel with the governor compiled into it. Then you change the default governor using apps like "Set CPU" or something the developer of the kernel may recommend (Like another app).
The answer was in this thread: [REF] Understanding the basics before rooting your S3 (GT-i9300/i9305)
Questions 3 and 4 are impossible to answer. Experiment

Hello. sorry if it has been already posted, but I want only "up-to-date" answers.
I have some questions:
1. Which is the best governor to use ( for this kernel ) for a balance between battery and performance ( I use lulzactive right now, I heard that it's very good for a balance between those two but it seems like ondemand is doing a lot better when it comes to battery life )
2. I don't mind OC'ing the CPU but the GPU yes. I want to play games such as Real Racing 3 with acceptable FPS, so I need a boost for the GPU. What settings to use here?
Thanks.
Ondemand and row.
Don't know what governor does Siyah have,but you need to try out "cfq" scheduler with "slp" governor.I think only Apolo kernel has that.
what do you mean by 'row' ?
@GamingDj siyah kernel governors:
ondemand
pegasusq
lulzactive
lulzactiveq
conservative
Scheduler row
Gov ondemand
Andrew is right...from these Row with ondemand is the best.Are you on Stock ROM 4.1.2? If so,then I recommend you trying out Apolo.Maybe extreme v0 or Regular.
Thanks.
I may try thoses ROM but I enjoy the stock ROM, I would change it just for better performance in gaming ( and as I know, the ROM's aren't for that )
edit: oops Apolo is a kernel.. well, as I know, the Siyah Kernel is the best for this phone, isn't it?
but still: no overclock settings for the GPU?

I think dorimanx is the best. It's siyah based and updated alot by a cracking dev
i may give it a try. let's hope it's better.
If you like stock then you should try out alliance or biftor ect ect. These are custom stock roms that work lovely and if you mix it up with a little dorimanx you end up with a kick ass phone. Not to put down Apollo kernel as that is really good for battery but Dori is better for tuning cpu/gpu ov/uv.

With siyah kernel flashed in ur phone u get an app called extweaks or stweaks. This app too was developed by gokhan moral. U can go to GPU tab and change the GPU frequency step. Be careful and don't go beyond 400mhz. It may heat up your phone very much. I use this settings for increasing the smoothness of the phone. And one more thing. Gradually increase the steps.Don't keep the 1st step as 300 or 400. I recommend 160 or 200.

hmm.. i really want to try dorimanx, but, can i flash it over the siyah or i have to somehow delete siyah first?
is the stock ROM that bad? i see that you insist changing it.. as i said: i would change the ROM only if it has performance improvements ( in games, because the stock ROM is doing pretty good in others ) but as I know ROM's aren't for gaming.
@santhosh502 i know it's all about the frequencies. but i need all of the steps. not just the first one. what are you using?

Just remember that siyah is for stock and not cm/aokp roms. Dorimanx is for both. 8.xx is stock and custom and 9.xx is for custom only.
I use siyah kernel. But u can download stweaks in play store too. The link for steps is here. Be careful as ur hands might get burned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657491
I understand that you can use siyah with cm/aokp but not supported by dev. Dorimanx is a much safer bet for stability
