[5.X.X]Get The BEST Out of STOCK or ANY ROM - G 2014 General

Hello MOTO G2 users,
I have been testing a lot of setting to get the best out of the stock lollipop (u can try on custom ROMS too with appropriate(optimus kernel by Flashhhh works ) kernel) on our device. After lots of flukes and changing of setting I got the device to perform its best.
If u want to try u can go ahead, but I am not responsible if anything happens to ur device
ROOT REQUIRED(Obviously)
Requirements:
1. Stellar Kernel v3.0(recommended for stock not for custom rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/stock-stellarkernel-v1-t3085277
2. Kernel Adiutor app (Download from playstore)
3. Optimus kernel (Only for custom ROMS not for stock)
Steps:
1. Open the kernel adiutor app (The stellar kernel should already be installed)
2. Set the settings as given below:
CPU:
Cpu max frequency: 1190 MHz
Cpu min Frequency: 300 MHz
Governor: interactive(mostly) or ondemand (I recommend ondemand only when u are sleeping as it saves battery)
Multicore power saving: Aggressive (U can keep it disabled if u want)
(Leave other settings as it is)
CPU Hotplug:
MPDecision: Off
Intelliplug: ON
Profile: Eco performance or balanced
Touch boost: On
MSM Hotplug: ON
Debug Mask: ON
CPUs Boosted: 4 (Adjust ur way)
Max cores screen off: ur choice
(Leave other settings as it is)
GPU:
GPU max frequency: 320MHz (u can try 450)
CPU governor: msm adreno tz
Simple Gpu Algorithm : ON
Laziness: 4
Ramp Threshold : 6
Low Memory Killer:
Foreground Application: 6MB
Visible " " : 8MB
Secondary Server: 16MB
Hidden Application: 20MB
Content Providers: 22MB
Empty application: 24MB
[Or u can apply this value easily using the scripts by selecting super multitasking profile (temp) from rt ram manger page in android development section]
(Thanks to Diamond Bond For this Values)
Thanks To:
@zakee94 :For the kernel
@DiamondBond : For the Script
@Flashhhh for optimus kernel
I really thank the developers for the works they have done for our device. Without them this was not achievable.:good::good::fingers-crossed:
I have really done nothing but only triend configuring the setting. All main work goes to those two developer.
I would recommend keeping a ram cleaner on ur device if ur ram usage goes high
Install greenify to hibernate useless apps.
Press Thanks if this helped you.
Send me ur experience after applying this.:good:

Dont suggest users to use the M option which removes the bootanimation bin, it dosnt help suggest them to use xposed with the backported mem-leak fix module and an lmk profile from my script (different profiles work for different people), but otherwise, nice guide, ive been meaning to post something like this for a while!

Tried this setting on Flex OS and CM 12.1 with optimus kernel.. And it works:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Memory leak fix not required i guess

smartmax profile works perfect in my case.

Ya its good, but it may cause your phone to over heat.... Its upon you to choose governors but dont mess with low mem kill values:thumbup:

@Vedant Mistry Bit harsh, but its true that memory killers don't work on android, purely because of the way that memory management is handled on android. The whole system is set up to use lots of ram. Ram use isn't bad, CPU use is. If you use a task killer to free up more ram, android will just restart the service and use extra CPU in doing so, plus your phone will be slower because you haven't got the cached data already there in the ram. Free ram on android is wasted ram.
So, that, in a nutshell, is why the insult (however harsh) was flung.

First of all, I never told that I was some superhero(pro) that would give the 100% guarantee of this guide working for all. And I also know that free ram on android is wasted ram. But based on my experience with stock ROM running those low memory killer values, the ram usage goes high on running lot of apps e.g. 740mb/848mb and the phone just lags like hell. So by cleaning your ram (more like Memory boost) you can get out of the lag.
And if you don't want to follow this guide don't follow it but don't kill/be harsh on me. I have already written in the thread that any new suggestions are welcomed. I found this working so I posted it.

the battery gets a little hot
Here is my settings:
9. MegaRAM 2 w/512mb {6,12,75,100,125,150 mb}

I agree with you in parts when you say free ram is wasted ram cause free ram is used to improve system performance. But, according to those links (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20163493&postcount=6695 / http://www.rt-embedded.com/blog/archives/linux-memory-consumption/) the almost full usage of ram doesn't bring any benefits as damage in multitasking as well.
The way is to find the free ram level because below it, some apps, launchers and...why not, the whole system starts to freeze and above it doesn't improve anything.
Answering you question: I had tested all values and, in my opinion, they are the best.
Did you try with other values? What did you think?
My apologies, i looked to V6 SuperCharger script few days ago, i think i didn't fully understand what this values do.
Now i'm using ms2toobox's "Positive" settings (96MB). And i have now 24MB free ram. So it's not 96MB of wasted space. Maybe 150MB isn't so bad.
If you have 100mb free (according to task managers), it's giving you idle ram+ buffers+cached apps.
If you type the free command in terminal, you will see how much is really free - way less than you think.
The engine flush script will actually show you both stats, before and after flushing
Just tried it with setting 7.
I am going to try setting 11, too and report how it goes in a while
Is anyone else using it?

If you're running Quarx ICS, then don't bother with v6 as it created more lag than it fixed. I say that because I have used it on Quarx ICS 05\12 (Bravo) with full 100% supercharged and had mixed results. Kickass Kernelizer and 3G Turbocharger (use Experimental 1) are highly recommended for Quarx ICS. I highly recommend installing my DroidX Governor Pack before using Kickass since DX Gov's install the SIO IO scheduler as well as the Gov's. If you're using Epsy's latest CM9, then the Gov Pack is still necessary since the bootmenu values for SIO are incorrect. Quarx fixed it yesterday, but there hasn't been a rom built yet with the correct fixes yet.
If your on Quarx or Epsy CM7, you really need to use this.
Since I make it a point to use Kickass Kernelizer, 3g, and v6 on almost all my roms, come by the Bravo Forums, since I only come over here to see if there are any problems with my DroidX Governors, and I'll help where I can.

(INFO)What is zram and how does it work???

I think its better to Post this here,when its not better,than sorry!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Once a brief statement for those who are not traveling so long in the Android scene:
ZRAM = ramzswap = Compcache
In order to explain more precisely ZRAM first need other terms are more clearly defined:
Swap can be compared with the swap file on Windows. If the memory (RAM) to complete the PC the data that are being used not actively outsource (eg background applications) so as to re-evacuate RAM free. To this data is written to a hard disk. If required, this data is then read back from there easily. Even the fastest SSD is slower than the RAM. On Android, there is no swap!
In ZRAM unnecessary storage resources are compressed and then moved to a reserved area in the fixed RAM (ZRAM). So a kind of swap in memory.
This Ram is more free because the data then only about 1/4 of the former storage requirements have. However, the CPU has to work in more because they compress the data has (or unpack again when they are needed). The advantage clearly lies in the speed. Since the swap partition in RAM is much faster than this is a swap partition on a hard drive.
In itself a great thing. But Android does not have a swap partition, and therefore brings Android ZRAM under no performance gain as would be the case with a normal PC.
In normal PC would look like this:
Swap = swap file (on disk) -> Slow
ZRAM (swap in RAM) -> Faster than swap
RAM -> Quick
With Android, there is no swap partition, and therefore brings ZRAM also no performance boost.
The only thing that brings ZRAM is "more" RAM. Compressed by the "enlarged" so to speak of the available memory. That's on devices with little RAM (<256MB) also pretty useful. The S2 has 1GB but the rich, and more than. There must not be artificially pushed up to 1.5 GB.
After you activate the ZRAM also has 2 disadvantages. The encoding and decoding using CPU time, which in turn has higher power consumption.
Roughly one can say (For devices with more than 512MB RAM):
Without ZRAM: + CPU Performance | + Battery | RAM
With ZRAM: CPU Performance |-Battery | + RAM
For devices with too little RAM so it makes perfect sense. But who shoots the S2 already be fully complete RAM and then still need more?
Check whether you can ZRAM runs in the terminal with
free or cat / proc / meminfo
I hope it helps to understand zRam!!!!
Thanks for the info
Yeah thanks indeed for the info - so does this mean that we must have zram disabled because of low memory ?
no its very good for devices with less ram like 289mb and we have less ram,so its useless for higher ram devices with 800-1000,but that can u read in this guide

But one more doubt - its good for us anyhow if we disable it will we get more free ram ?
in your statement zram is not battery friendly. ? am i correct. ? or not?
Sorry for too many questions mate - am the noobest guy here on xda that is why
not really because the system all the time creates virtual ram and distributed, just as if the ram is not needed, because then the virtual ram not needed and the system distributes it then falls to a normal ram, but I think it also comes to the what and how much the device is made for running multiple concurrent tasks, it is recommended.

ramzswap != compcache. both using compressed data on memory. both even from the same person AFAIR. the different is ramzswap using compressed swap and compcache using compressed cache.
kernel 2.6.35 source code from samsung have ramzswap support, but you need user space program to enable it (need little patch to build it for sgy but it's easy).

Not understood... Android has no swap? Then what is swapper for? Swapping partition?
I tried swapper for my galaxy y n i didnt liked it personally

With swapper you can have an swap file or you can choose to partition your SD-Card to have an swap partition there. Swap is not used by default in Galaxy Y and swap space is optional not really needed in Android (or Unix/Linux in general).
On the other hand, zram is a whole different beast.
If I'm not mistaken a dev for ace2 already made it several month ago. It using init.d script to control the zram stuff

Reviving your slow SGS.

So I recently changed over to the nexus 4, and I say, it is AMAZING. I just got to the point where the SGS just didnt cut it anymore. It has hung in there for a long time, but its starting to become under-powered for new versions of Android.
So in this guide, I am going to show you how to speed up your Galaxy S, and push it to its max performance.
You will need a custom kernel like Semaphore. I made this guide with no regard to battery life, but i did avoid using un-necessary power.
1. Live OC
- This increases the Bus, Ram and GPU speeds.
- This is very good because information can only be transferred as fast as the bus can transfer it. So if your CPU is fast, but your bus is to slow, it creates a bottle neck. So upping bus speed as well as CPU/GPU/Ram speeds can drastically increase performance.
- Find settings that are stable for your phone. For me this was 123%.
- Note that this will change the CPU clock speed choices that you have. Normal.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. CPU Clock Speed / Governor
- Increasing Clock Speeds allow your processor to calculate more per second, therefore increasing performance.
- Start by finding the maximum frequency that your device is capable of handling, while still keeping stability. For me, this is 1400MHZ.
- Set lowest clock speed to 200 or 400. 200 is the best all-round, and actually uses less power than 100MHZ due to faster race to idle. I use 400 for performance.
- Use a snappy governor. Min/max is great, it is what i use.
- For more battery. lulzactive, ondemand, and smartass are all good.
- Enable smooth UI tweak.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. RAM settings / management.
A. MOAR RAM.
- The Galaxy S has very limited ram, so we must make the best of it.
- It has 500mb, but some is allocated for the camera and GPU, so we only get ~400 in the end.
- Use the Bigmem option. Around 400mb, but breaks 720p recording. Its a good sacrifice.
- Also, Un-install any apps that you are not using! This can free up cache space and leave it for important processes. Go to settings/running/caches for more info.
- Go to settings/developer options/background process limit, and set this to keep more ram free. I use 3.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
B. Enabling Swap
- Enabling swap allows the kernel to use specially allocated memory (on your SD card) to store cached pages that aren't currently being used, instead of storing them in RAM.
- Frees RAM for foreground or heavy processes.
- Make sure you use a fast SD card, and do not set the swappiness to high, both of these can slow your phone down.

4. CM Performance Settings.
- Setting these properly can also increase performance on your device. It will not create any instabilities.
- I/O schedulers are all very similar. I personally prefer SIO, CFQ, or VR
- Under Memory management, Allow purging of assets and enable Kernel same page merging. Both use more clock cycles, but free needed RAM.
- Avoid ZRAM. Performance gain is not enough for the number of clock cycles needed to compress and decompress the RAM.
- Enable 16 bit transparency. Lighter load on the system when drawing graphics, and has never causes visual artifacts for me.
- Disable surface dithering. One less thing for your device to do, equals more performance.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Animation Scales (not necessary)
- This simply makes your device LOOK faster buy increasing the speed of the animations.
- Go to developer options and find Window Animations scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale.
- Turn them all to 0.5 for a faster UI.

It does reduce life for sure. As does live OC.
I over clocked my phone for a long time, and it has had no bad effects. It works great to this day. It reduces, but not significantly that you should worry about.
Most CPUS are designed to last for 10+ years, and you may take a year or two off. Nothing major!

Tips to increase performance and increase battery life |Xperia X8/W8

Hey people, this is my first post.
So basically this post is for people still using xperia x8 / w8.
TIPS to increase performance :
1. Install a custom ROM (with a custom kernel). It's no use installing a ROM on stock kernel because it's not very fast and battery life is low too ( I like Minicm7 and Minicm10)
2. After installing the kernel and rom, install a nice launcher. (LauncherPro for gingerbread and nova /apex for ice cream sandwich or jelly bean).
3. Tweak cyanogenmod performance settings : increase vm heap size, allow purging of assets, disable surface dithering, set cpu governor to smartassv2. Overclock if you want but not too much.
4. Use v6 supercharger script. (easy to follow and works great). Do it only if you have custom kernel, because on stock it asks to update busybox which soft bricks the phone).
5. Use autostart manager to remove unnecessary apps from boot.
6. Install apps that you need.
7. Enable "long press to kill apps" in development and kill after you use them like browsers etc.
8. Don't use task killer.
Battery life tips (I assume you are on custom ROM with custom kernel) :
1. Use setcpu and enable profiles. Make the following
A) Screen off - Set Minimum and maximum values of clock the lowest.
B) Battery levels - Choose the maximum to any value below 600 mhz but above 320 when say, the level is less than 40 percent or maximum 480 when the level drops below 50 percent.
2. Make sure you uninstall Dsp manager with titanium backup or root uninstaller.
It sucks lots of battery.
3. Don't set auto brightness.
4. Keep vm heap size to 32.
5. Set governor to on-demand using set cpu for all profiles. AS WELL as for normal usage. (where there are sliders)
6. You may use antutu battery saver. It may or may not work for you.
7. Use v6 supercharger script.
That's it. Press thanks if I helped.

Sir, Thank you for your review and the beer Yes I am aware of the fact that many people know about it but are tired going through many threads so I compiled a list. That's all.
Exactly this thread will be helpful for noobs much. Nice info :thumbup:
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using Tapatalk 2
@op you may want to review some info. for example, for performance, smartassv2 isn't really the best choice (interactive or ondemand, anyone?). you may also want to remove v6 supercharger since noobs will ultimately ask a lot of questions about it (specially ics/jb users). conversely, ondemand is NOT the best choice if you want to save battery. it has a hair trigger that jumps to max freq and stays there for a long time (like interactive but with different conditions for scaling iirc). there are also lighter launchers than nove/apex/launcherpro. uninstalling or freezing unused apps can also help performance instead of trying to kill them (specially with apps that simply restart themselves). you also have the undervolt option. and updating busybox will not necessarily cause issues if you're on custom kernel. i've updated mine on cm7&10 without issues. i do think gdx (at least on stock kernel) bootloops if you update it. as daggre said, we already have lots of tuts about this, so it would be best to give accurate info or else it will just confuse users.

Yes you can use Swapper 2. Useful only if you use class 6 SD card or above. otherwise no use.

@op you may want to review some info. for example, for performance, smartassv2 isn't really the best choice (interactive or ondemand, anyone?). you may also want to remove v6 supercharger since noobs will ultimately ask a lot of questions about it (specially ics/jb users). conversely, ondemand is NOT the best choice if you want to save battery. it has a hair trigger that jumps to max freq and stays there for a long time (like interactive but with different conditions for scaling iirc). there are also lighter launchers than nove/apex/launcherpro. uninstalling or freezing unused apps can also help performance instead of trying to kill them (specially with apps that simply restart themselves). you also have the undervolt option. and updating busybox will not necessarily cause issues if you're on custom kernel. i've updated mine on cm7&10 without issues. i do think gdx (at least on stock kernel) bootloops if you update it. as daggre said, we already have lots of tuts about this, so it would be best to give accurate info or else it will just confuse users.

Sorry for the mistakes. I wrote smartass v2 because interactive sucks too much battery and isn't practical to use. I would like to delete the thread. I'm new here so please tell me how. I will update the facts and then write

you'll have to ask a mod to delete the thread. why not just update it though? it's a good thread for new guys. just update some info and you're good to go.

Alright, I'll update by Monday. Thanks
Haha, thanks for the tips :good:

[Q] best kernel for performance for Cloudyflex 2.6

Hi,
Is the cloudy kernel the best for pure performance in terms of lag? Not looking for battery or other performance enhancements.
Is cloudy kernel 1.5 the latest ( just to make sure i have a backup kernel to re-install just on case)?
Is the tweak on hidden menu for HIGH TEMPERATURE still relevant with these kernels?
I am running with ondemand governor.
And just to make sure:
- to install a new kernel i just boot to recovery and flash the kernel without any wipes, right?
- i have xposed and some G2 tweaks running, i don't need to disable/reset or anything?
Thanks for your help! I am still learning.
Nico.

Hello Nico.
I'm hoping that I can assist you with this topic.
First off, regarding the kernel you have plenty of choices. There are two, however, that I'd recommend.
1. Dorimanx Kernel. That kernel is absolutely amazing with LOTS of tweaks, thermal protection, ad-blocker, allows overclocking to 2.8Ghz and much much more. I can't list all the features because they are so many. But there's one thing in particular - it's fast. Dorimanx has created a hybrid kernel from 3.4.xxx and 3.10.y source codes. This is my go-to kernel.
2. Bruce Kernel. It's a modified stock kernel with Bruce's own tweaks. It's fast, very battery friendly but lacks customisation. It also doesn't have thermal protection or any thermal throttling.
Now to your other questions:
Yes, Cloudy 1.5 should be the latest.
I wouldn't mess with the ROM thermal protection found in hidden menu. The gain in speed is most likely negligible but you make your phone more prone to heat damage.
Ondemand governor is great for smoothness, but you'll have a ton of options if you decide to use dorimanx. I use alucard because it's the sweet spot between amazing battery performance and smoothness.
You can install a new kernel without any wipes. Kernel doesn't interfere with ROM as such and you don't have to disable anything. A Kernel is basically what makes software and hardware work together.
I hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for your answers, these are exactly what I was looking for.
I just flashed Dorimanx, and without knowing too much on how to tweak it (more on that later), it is really smooth. I am keeping it!

OK, great to know, it is so often repeated online that I used to have it. It is now off, absolutely no noticeable difference!

Thanks. Flashed perfectly, twice (I had trickster mod on and wasn't sure what it reset at boot, so uninstalled it and re-installed Dorimanx.)
Got 1040/2900 on geekbench even if that is not really what I care about. I had 950/2750 before, not that much noticeable difference in %.

OK, we're onto kernel tweaks , I have a few questions:
I discovered that I had STweaks installed, so let's use that.
1) Apart from governor alucard, what other settings should I apply? You mention thermal controls. I expect the defaults of STweaks are OK? If not, what should I do?
2) I found a GPU governor, should I do something there to have better performance?
3) my real goal is to achieve super smoothness when interacting with the phone, I don't play high CPU 3D games or anything like that. I want the phone to react instantly when I press somewhere or open something or press home or recent apps. Any advice? I modified touch boost frequency...
4) if I "reset settings to default" in STweaks, will it reset to Dorimanx' installed default as I just installed the kernel?
5) so that I don't bother anyone anymore, is there a manual about all these tweaks in Dorimanx/STweaks?
Thanks again so much!
Hey bud, I dont know if u found out the answers to these questions but I can share my information with u as I see nobody answered it
1)
2)
3) I'll tell u the best settings for smoothness but also with great battery life All questions ll be answered in one answer :
Make governers Alucard
Touchboost:1.9
Powesave Switch: Performance mode
Power Efficent Worqueues : Unticked
Cpu Tweaks:ticked
Max Cpu 0,1,2,3 freq:2572800
MAx screen off freq :Max Allowed
________________________-
Alucard Hotplug
Hotplug always active
2 cores boost
4 cores max online
2 cores min cpu online

And from developer settings of ur ROM, make window animation, transition animation and animation duration scale 0.5x
If u re not dependant on xposed module, then use ARTruntime(faster)
4) Yes, all settings ll be restored to original Dorimanx settings.
5) I havent seen any yet
This is all I can say, let me know about results

Hey there. Thanks a lot for your answers, despite the thread being so old.
I actually learned a lot since i posted that
I use 2x intelliactive, 2x alucard, alicard HP, max freq 2.3, 2.3, 1.9, 1.9, gpu 100-533, i/0 read 1024, dirty tatios 5%/10%
Your settings look interesting, you sure you get great battery life? With 2 cores min? I am going to try
No mate, I said that's settings for u, u said u don't care about battery, so I tried to give u the best settings I can come up with for performance, I myself use 3 cores max, all 2,3 ghz 1 core boost, Alucard on-demand Alucard. 1024. 100 320 GPU. It's pretty smooth with art. But if I wouldn't care about battery, I would do the settings I told u. Hehe

no worries!
I learned to care more about battery I realized that it is really smooth anyway. I have a lot of SOT daily (movies, etc) and realized that using performance settings just drains too quickly and is not needed.
I do put animations to x0.5 (transition animation to OFF).
What I am really struggling with is home redraws... A bit better now, but they used to be 1000x times a day.
I would run with ART but it takes a lot more memory, and with my 16 GB I don't have enough memory left when running ART.
Buddy, I am on 16 too. I had 8.5 hours sot with art and cloudy 2.1!! I use nova launcher and I am happier with it can give it a try

I have a few very large apps (navigon, games,...) they take 2-3 GB.
I al so have movies, remaining is only 1.3 GB.
If i want to backup ROM i need to delete obb files, etc. With ART i will have nothing left!
Tried niva but didn't like it. Will try apex again maybe, but i really like the look of G3 home.
Hmm, I see. I didnt know that internal memory and has a thing to do ART, I just made it ART and everything was ok. Launcher is a matter of taste I guess. For lg launcher, I read that there are some hidden settings to lock it in RAM, so that it doesnt redraw that often, maybe u can take a look for that. Hope to share more information for better experience with our phones
@bloof I forgot to tell, I also like how g3 theme looks, and I use a g3 theme with my nova launcher. If pm me ur gmail, can send u my screenshots
