Hello Everyone.

As we know that CPU Governors are the ones that tell the CPU to do what in what situation and are largely responsible for battery and performance. Applying different governors can save battery or enhance performance depending on the type of governor.

There are a lot of governors available. The traditional like interactive, ondemand, powersave etc. and custom made like smartass v1 and v2, ondemand+, inteliactive etc.

This thread is meant for all of us to try different governors for approximately a day and then report the battery stats and performance levels . I could have done this alone using different governors each day and finally reporting all of the stats. But dude, haven’t you seen Hackers? All of us together can do it better and faster and cover a larger range.

So as I said the plan is that people try different governors and report and then we make a final report.

The number of governors you can test depends on the number of governors you have in your kernel :P. No seriously, more the number of kernels you use, more the governors you can test since different kernels have different governors. (many kernels are available in the xda Original Android Development thread)

I use Linaro(Insanity) kernel ( http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/orig-development/kernel-falcon-t2868126 ) that has 14 custom governors along with the 5 traditional governors out of which I will test intelliactive, intellidemand, ondemand+, lionheart, hyper, adaptive, abyssplugv2 and wheatley along with interactive, ondemand, powersave, performance and users

You can also test the governors I do or someone else does as it will help in crosschecking.

It will be very helpful if someone can test other popular governors like smartass v1 and v2, min max, scary, lagfree etc. (more the better)

The most important thing...What to post?

1) Battery Stats...use the app Battery Stats Plus and the inbuilt battery stats shower to know the stats. (dont forget to reset the battery stats when starting a new stats)

2) Overall speed of phone.....like time taken when switching apps or opening recent tasks.

3) CPU Stats....You can check these from TricksterMod in the'info' menu. (Don't forget to check the "warp counters" when starting a new test)

Please follow these few rules while testing (these are no hard and fast rules but try to follow them)

1) Keep the phone usage and settings same during all the tests

2) Keep the screen brightness as minimum as possible

3) Don’t use batter saving or performance enhancing apps.

4) Test for atleast a day.

Recommended app for kernel tweaking and viewing the performance – Trickster Mod Kernel Settings. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod&hl=en

Yup…try to follow these and we are cool.

I am posting this thread for the sole reason that we can know how our phone reacts to different governors and to know the clear cut stats so that we can use different governors as desired.

I know it will be irritating to use a sluggish Governor for a whole day but please bear with it for 24 hours..

For newbies like me..be ready to see somewhat a big difference.

I hope that everybody participtes. :fingers-crossed:

Posting starts tomorrow. :D

Tommorow i will test intelliactive.
