For must of you rooters, that pretty plain simple, for other that might eliminate unexplained lags.

You MUST root the device, after rooting install either Arter97 or Skyhigh kernel that is highly suggested, also appreciate their hard work on the kernels :D

Then install kernel auditor or synapse in order to gain access to governor settings and change from interactive to Performance.

Interactive does not scale between A57 and A53 cores properly when needed by heavy 3D games(not all) and by heavy cpu emulators or games, i tested it on tekken 6 via ppsspp emulator and angry birds 2.
Before that, AB2 worked with lags here and now, and Tekken 6 was laggy too, after the tweak Tekken 6 works perfect 60 fps and AB2 work with no single stutters, that also applies to certain marvel games.

Other thing that can help is to disable DVFS via xpose module, although i noticed that phone works better and more fluid with it's on.
