Just wondering if anyone is using Set CPU now that we have root. I have it my phone but other than using auto settings im a little bit lost. Im just wondering if anyone has suggestions for the custom settings. Maybe some options for performance settings in particular. I want this thing to run like a rocket ship!

I dint seem to have much luck to be honest. considering the benchmark test somewhere on esato my marks were decent in the first 3 areas except for last area, FS, which ended up bad!!
I just got rid of alot of the in built apps and its running really smooth (4 now)

I made a profile with condition: screen off and max to 384 but, when the phone is locked, and I unlock it, it becomes laggy for a moment before getting the full 1ghz. I kinda didnt like it so changed the max to 576 and now it working properly.
But Im not sure whether its saving my battery juice or not ..
I cant remember where but i think in this forum there is another post about increasing bat life with setcpu. It has the profiles i was looking for. My phone seems to be working great with them. Im not at my pc but ill look later to see if i can find it and then post the link. Cheers

Bingo! That is it. My settings match these almost exactly, exception of my low bat is set to <20%, and my phone works great.
cheers
was poking around in the init scripts on stock system, and found that cpu scaling is already done in the stock environment

So I found a kernel on the Fascinate forums that was built off of our EC10 froyo source that was from nemesis2all and I saw that he had added the ability to overclock and undervolt from within the ROM so I installed it just trying (backed up of course) and found that it does indeed work.
I then got the Voltage control app from the market and started playing around doing Quadrant scores throughout after each change. I found that at 1200 mhz I was getting 1600s instead of 1400s and the phone ran great. But when I tried 1400 mhz the phone froze up and restarted while doing the CPU section of the Quadrant test so I reverted back.
My question is, what would be safe to stay at for general use?
Second question, how do you use the voltage app to undervolt I see the settings but I don't know what to set them too.
Here is the link to the kernel
1200 has proven to be the most stable overclock, any higher and it will freeze up eventually.
With voltage control, the way it works is that you set the max clock and then it will give you increments that the phone will automatically clock to within the guidelines you give it. Then for each increment you can set the voltage it will use. Just look around and experiment with voltages, see how low you can go without having issues and never set it to apply at boot unless you know that's what you want, other than that go crazy and a reboot will fix it if you have a problem.
I recommend keeping setCPU installed along with it, that way you can still force it to underclock or overclock or whatever. It all depends on how much you use the phone and what for.

I've been running overclocked at 1.3 and undervolted at least 50 for a couple days now. Only one issue and I'm not even sure it was related as it janet happened again. I posted my settings in the otb thread if you're curious.

H'm, I tried going up to 1.3 and it would freeze up after 5 or 10 minutes every time.
Like I said, 1.2 is the only one that has proven to be safe for everybody... not each phone is exactly the same and if akellars CPU has a soldering that is done a little bit different than mine, it might allow him to clock a little higher. who knows
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
I've been running it for a week @ 1400 -25 undervolted and haven't had any issues. The new 1.6 gives me trouble. I don't think there's enough overvolting in that one to make it stable for pretty much anyone. I use the 1400, 800, 400, 200 steps all undervolted @50 except 1400 which as mentioned is -25. Battery life is good because during sleep it doesnt really hit the high end and by not having the other steps its snappy when in use. Fastest this phone has been by far. I don't use setcpu because I think it and the voltage app conflict. That was nemisis's instruction to install it.

Yup I'm just lucky 1.4 worked for me too but I didn't see much of a performance difference so I didn't see the need to stress the cpu out anymore than I already was. battery life had been awesome for me with my setup as well.

so i just bought this phone from a friend, he had it rooted when i bought it, seems every kernel i try the max is always at 1000 instead of higher options and my governor scaling does not let me choose any options as well,tried 2 different kernels and same for both any ideas how to fix, would be greatly appreciated

I tryed it once and didn't seem to work it didn't have any goveners to choose from either.or maybe I just ain't used to it ill try again thanks for the reply.I thought maybe he messed something up in the root process
Probably the dual core is messing with setcpu and it needs an update for it to work properly. I could be wrong but that's my guess. Are u using a custom rom that allows for oc? Cm7 has a setting for it so no need for an app to control it

governor
I tryed pimp my CPU.seams to overclock but governor has no choices is it just me or is everyone's like that?
tegra2 controls the governers so they dont give you the option to change as of yet, that is untill one of our genious devs figures a way around that as well.
I see thanks for letting me know that. thought something was wrong on my end
Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.

Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Sorry to jump in on this thread as well, but could you give us some info on how you would undervolt a kernel?
I have setcpu installed, is that enough? Is it possible to break my phone?

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.
Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions
Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.

I am running miui and I have been wanting to clock my phone slightly for some time but no matter what kernel I use my phone crashes soon after I apply settings. It doesn't matter if I am clocking it any where between 1.2 or 1.5. I'm not sure if I am doing things wrong or what is going on. But I would really like to get it working. I will do my best to provide any info you need. please help me!

Some phones just don't like overclocking or underclocking I guess. Can I ask why are you wanting to overclock? I have found that overclocking is overrated. You really will not see much of a difference especially if you are use such a lite rom like cm7 or miui. When I first flashed my first rom I had a slight moment of...idiocy where all I cared about was to see how fast my quad score would go. Just fyi for future, quad scores are all crap they mean nothing lollll.
I got your 10 char right here
I had thought that it was my phone but I the first kennel I got that came with miui months back clocked my phone fine. Before I knew it the kernel was changed and every one I try my phone crashes. I just felt like for the little time before my phone crashes it seems to run everything smoother. Maybe i'm just convincing myself that. I partly wanted to figure out why my phone was crashing and learn something. I guess I can live with it not being clocked

I have seen some talk about Voltage control in the dev thread and I am a little confused as to what it is they are doing. I do understand they are using the Voltage Control app and that you can set the min and max. When they start referring to under volting to 125 I am not seeing how they do that.
How are they setting it for 125? I have a feeling I am just looking at the surface and not seeing anything past that.

They minus (undervolt) each frequency by 125. It's in the Voltage section of the app. It will list the frequencies in there from 100-1200 or to 1600if the kernel supports it. So basically undervolting will use less battery when it hits those frequencies.

If you're going to try it, read up on it, you can have random reboots if set wrong. People say to stress test before leaving a setting.

Awesome! I thought it was something super simple I just wasnt putting 2 and 2 together so to speak. I am going to give it a whirl.
If you have tinkered with VC, what are the settings that have worked best for you?
I'm OC to 1.6, and UV's at -100 across the board, and running great!

It all depends per device. For example, my settings may not work well with your device. Really test it out first before you save the settings on boot. I'll link you the thread that explains it more.
