Just wondering what the difference is in the type of governor used in SetCPU when using the More Freedom kernel? Which is the best one to use InteractiveX or Smartass etc.?

governors in setcpu or other scaling apps basically sets how the cpu will scale to the max and mins that you set in setcpu. in interactivex the it will revup the cpu to the max and min much faster so that the uptime to the max setting is quicker then using conservative or pwersave. the last two will rev up to the max settings much slower and could cause lag but may save batter to some extent. smartass is very similar to onedemand but basically will have a screen off profile.

i have tried interactine x with the aggressive freedom kernel and was getting pretty good battery life. 12-16 hrs with moderate usage.

Thanks for the info. Did you have any problems with the aggressive kernel? So far more freedom has been great. Any other kernels that you have found to be even better?
 
well with kernels what works for me may not work for you. aggressive seems to work the best. i tried that different freedom kernels and they worked not quite as well as the aggressive kernel. all of the new kernels work pretty good, but i like the freedom kernels.
