KitKat possible Lag Fix

Note: Root IS required!

1.) Install No-frills CPU Control.

2.) Open the app and set Governor to msm-dcvs

3.) Check "Apply on boot"

4.) Click "Apply" then "Exit"

5.) Reboot and test performance.

I notice a huge speed improvement and also music playback does not stutter anymore also. I am not sure how this will affect battery life. Enjoy!

Update: Music still stutters and garbles. Blah! Atleast performance is good!

This is no real governor, it's sort of a Qualcomm "testing" governor, which u shouldn't use.

You are correct. I am seeing better performance because the CPU is being locked at 1.5Ghz.

Do NOT use this!! It will drain your battery! Admin, please close this thread!

if the CPU is locked at 1,5ghz, then why does the explanation for MSM DCVS say

a very efficient and wide range of Dynamic Clock and
Voltage Scaling (DCVS) which addresses usage models from
active standby to mid and high level processing requirements.
A Krait CPU can smoothly scale from low power, low
leakage mode to blazingly fast performance.

Believe it's a governor that is mfg'd by qualcomm to utilize new on chip features.

MSM is the prefix for the SOC (MSM8960) and DCVS is Dynamic Clock and Voltage Scaling. Makes sense, MSM-DCVS

that it scales the processor from low power to high level processing requirements?

I am guessing that the governor is broke. Maybe someone else can try it and let us know.

Yesterday i saw this topic and set my governor to ondemand. Till then there is no lag or dropout music play via bluetooth headset. Probably there is some miss configuration on default interactive governor.

I've always found ondemand to be better than the interactive governor. on all my previous devices I've had better results with ondemand

It is for Qualcomm testing. Yup, it is fixed @ 1.5 Ghz for my stock Xperia ZR. Kinda bad for battery life.
