Thanks, I'll give that a shot this weekend. Does smartass require changing around a lot of settings? If so, probably not interested. I was getting satisfactory battery life with the Hey Its Lou Kernel #8 (using Senseless Revolution), but obviously can't use that here. I'm liking AOSP a lot.
Absolutely not. Just go into your CyanogenMod settings, go into Performance, and then under the CPU settings just set your governor to smartass. This can also be done with SetCPU if you prefer that app.
