Are there any plans for incorporating custom governors and schedulers in upcoming ROMS? I would love to see Boostedass and Smartass on the RAZR. I know there was a hack for running them on GB but I can't find anything for ICS.

Also is there a way to get SIO or NOOP on the RAZR?

I am new to the RAZR, coming from a DX and it seems we are just scratching the surface when it come to the perfomance of the RAZR.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

You can run noop... I changed from interactive to hotplug and noop and believe I am smoother/faster

They can effect the I/O operations, mainly the efficiency of memory and disk usage. The razr uses DEADLINE by default, but SIO and NOOP is much faster (utilizes less CPU) and manages battery usage better.

@ ncwildcat - How did you get noop? I didn't see it on stock GB or ICS, and I have used a couple custom ROMS and haven't seen it. I use ROM Toolbox for my system settings FYI.

I set Noop/hotplug using No-Frills CPU Control which is free ;)

Just tried it out, will see if this works any better. Are you getting better performance?

) about RAZR not running on both cores and what to do top solve it. Well i found out that i am running both cores until i change the governor. After that only a reboot will get me back to running on both cores anyone know why? I used antutu and ROM toolbox to check all this.

Yeah I am an idiot, lol. I didn't see noop in the stock ROM's so I forgot to check in the custom ones. I am using noop now. LOL

I am really interested in getting Smartass and Boostedass though, but I don't know how much of an improvement they would be over hotplug. On the DroidX the combo of BoostedassV2 and SIO seemed to net the most improvement.

I am scoring a little over 3300 in Quadrant right now at stock clock speeds so I guess I can't complain. Liquid 1.5 ICS and some of my own custom tweaks and I am flying!

Haven't had any performance issues, but I'm noticing that the battery seems a little better.

Anyone know how to get the kernel modules to work? I installed the zip at the link above but not sure how to activate the Smartass V2 governor. I do not have 10 post at XDA to ask this question.

Thanks

Looks like you have to use terminal to manually add the commands from the 2nd post over there.

I did install those two but just not sure how to get any of the governors to show up. How did you pick interactiveX?

Per Whirleyes at XDA "you have to use init.d or custom init to have it persist".....Not sure how that's done but that's what he says....lol
