I don't think any one using them anymore we use to back in the day every thing you need is built into the Rom and kernel and a governor is used to overclock or under clock

You are incorrect in what a governor is... There are multiple governors in most kernels and they are there to be used based on how you are using your phone... Some governor's are for performance and others for balance. Overlooking is something totally different and there are non overclockable kernels with multiple governors...

But the governors has nothing to do with over/underclocking. But yes they are built into the kernels and the dev chooses which governors they bake in...

Well since went there I was trying to shift his attention to something else so he wouldn't go messing around with those kinds of things because I can't count on my fingers and toes how many people I've seen fry there sensation by doing just that but you didn't pick up on the hint after all he just rooted it to day and he's New at it

They control CPU frequency scaling. Some are better for performance, some have good battery life.
