Wanted to share this since people had trouble finding info.
I found this on another forum. Credit to user "Steev"
'fantasy' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.
The governor does a periodic polling and changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.
The support for this governor depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency transitions).

What I have noticed with fantasy is it seems to act like interactive but a little less erratic. Doesn't max out as often.

WoW!!!!
I have read in different forums about these Governors that how they Govern .... but as like XDA is always at best and there are variety of smart people...
I m very impressed ,though I haven't found anything in so much detail with many many governors explained..
This guide shud be sticky in my humble opinion as many can understand ..
Especially newbies

Please could you tell me about these Governors of those who have tried, what are the best work for most energy saving for mobile use undemanding (just browsing, wifi, read forums...). I have discarded powersave and min / max since mobile performance worse too.
How would order this in a list in order of saving energy?. The first most savers.
Lazy, Peqasusq, Ondemand, OndemandX, OndemanQ, Hotplugx, Interactive, InteractiveX, Wheatley, SmartassV2, Conservative, lagfree, Hotplug, PegasusQ, InteractiveX, or Sakuractive....say they are good savers.

It really depends on each individual phone. Even the same model phone will each act differently.
Your best bet is to run setcpu and try each of them. Watch setcpu clock speed. See how high out goes and for how long. Turn your phone sideways to make it max out. See how long it takes to go back down. The faster it runs the more power you are using.
Then see how your phone behaves with your favorite apps.
With my galaxy note I settled on Smartassv2 with deadline scheduler. Took me a while to figure it out

I'm looking for some info on the Badass governor. This governor is very different than others, and has some interesting settings not seen in other govs. as well.
Who made this? Is there a thread for it? Does anyone know any decent settings to tweak with it?
Directly quote me please if you happen to reply to this specifically

Wow so it's pretty old? Does that mean there are better newer options out there? Curious as to what my best option would be then.
When you say old it makes me feel outdated

the best op out there is ondemand gov ,i was just like u wanted the best gov. out there , i tried and tested all but at the end i came back to ondemand (best for gaming,browsing, daily usage,no lags and battery too ) i dint find a combo like this in any other gov
badass is for battery only ,u will have lags in games and other stuff
intellydemand is also good (but only few kernels have that)

I asked in my own question thread but no one wanted to answer
lol
If I wanted to compare governor tweaks with a benchmark, without running an entire suite, what specific module could I choose to see a difference?
For instance: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quicinc.vellamo&hl=en Vellamo lets you choose what specific benchmark you want to use.

As I think , changing govs in a single kernel only by app and not by reflast of kernel with that gov will not provide u a full juice of that gov as some gov leave their remains behind , which conflicts with the other gov . I would say always flash the new gov from recovery as I will remove it remainsI asked in my own question thread but no one wanted to answer

So what is the best cup governors to chosse for performance (multitasking and gaming ) on mid range device ?
I have tested all and have come to the result ,that on-demand is the best for all the above 3

hi, it depends on the device and kernel you're using, I for single core devices much prefer smartass v2. for multicore, ondemand, or intellidemand depends on the kernel.
