Got a noob question that I'm sure has been asked multiple times. I'm about to get an S5, G900T version. I plan on using this kernel after the good things I've read about it. I'm not too concerned with more power (2.5ghz quad core can handle most anything thrown at it nowadays), but my main "goal" with the kernel is to get more battery life if possible.

What all should I do with the kernel / what governor should I use to achieve the best battery life (while keeping my frequency the same for when I play games)? I typically just flash kernels and never customize them, so I'm not sure how this kernel works with no customization done.

Thanks!
What type of games are you going to play? I have usable but power saving settings. I get 15+hrs of usage with around 5hrs or little more of sot. Not really well for 3d games. So I created my own profiles to switch between. One for games one for power saving.

I get really laggy once i open 4-5 apps.

what's everyone's ram usage?
I have about 1.24 GB / 1.67 GB Ram status when I have 0 Active Applications.

Anyone know what to do to free up more ram? Is this even a ram problem?

thank you!

i was using any and all profiles but seemed to be getting random reboots if i used ondemand or intellidemand, interactive...etc.

Enable OC Steps is not checked
Lock Freq is not checked

didn't touch much but chose ktoonservativeq profile
and added +10V to my voltage
Min is now 499

I mainly play clash of clans (not too intensive) and maybe some quick games like angry birds, etc. Was looking for something that'll use full power (or maybe even OC) when I need it and powersave when I don't. Would the Ondemand governor achieve that?

I've used on demand and it has no problems with games and I still get good battery life. Also using row scheduler.

+10V to the stock voltage.
Have you tried witty without increasing voltage?

Thanks! I've also stumbled across this thread to learn more about governors and schedulers: http://xdaforums.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957

Hope it helps anyone deciding which combo to use based on what they're trying to achieve

    12. New "UI Settings" item: Main Background is used to set the color or an image to be used as the background in the main part of the screen. I have predefined ones and you can also pick from a image that you place in the /KTweaker/ThemeManager/Backgrounds folder

    20. As a result of all these options in UI Settings this give you the ability to share your Theme if you want by zipping up the KTweaker/ThemeManager/Settings/, KTweaker/ThemeManager/Backgrounds/, KTweaker/ThemeManager/Icons/ folders

    1. ktoonservativeq: Totally revamped
