Hi guys,
I've just gotten my G2 setup to overclock at 1.4GHz and I'm trying to set up some profiles so that it runs at around stock or just higher when it's on battery.
Problem I'm having is that the sliders for setting the frequencies won't let me choose anything in between!!
It only allows me to go from 768 straight up to 1401 but nothing in between!
Can anyone help at all?
Much appreciated!!

anyone got what they think is the best configuration for SetCPU?
stock configuration works great for me
min cpu = 225 (or something like that)
max cpu = 995 (again, or something like that)
????
Stock settings are:
Min: 245
Max: 998
CPU Governer: On demand
Charging 998/998
Sleep/Standby 499/245
Power < 25% 576/245
i concur about the stock clock settings, they work best for me. 998 high/245 low
i am opting for stock... im going to assume that htc/google did their research to give us the best blend of CPU speeds depending on what the phone is doing and what the battery power is...
if stock settings are 998 mhz why overclock it? can you get more from the processor than that?

you probably can, but you'd just end up burning it out. what you can do is set the low a bit higher than 245. more battery drain will result.
So what are the out of the box settings on the CPU if you dont use setCPU?
Read this thread you will see them
No one has messed with this app?
I have mine set @ stock, but have also enabled a profile for when the phone is asleep. I set it at 300/245. Not really sure if it makes a difference in battery life.
Mine is set to the A1clock speed which is 768max and 245 min.. no lag when swippin and in act1 video player its still smooth..even a droids 550mhz stock speed. Also got it 245max/min when sleep, remember to exclude setcpu if you u wanna see results..

What's a1clock?
I noticed that when using SetCPU and setting the minimum CPU speed to 245mhz, it seems like the CPU doesnt clock down to 245, but instead stays at 998. By setting the minimum to 328, it works.
Where can u see that?

I agree...where are all you guys/gals seeing/getting information like that off of the phone. What are the apps needed to monitor that information.
Also, exactly what is the stock CPU settings?

I noticed something similar.
When setting it to 998/245 and hit refresh 5 or 6 times you'll never see something under 998 at the top.
When setting min to something else than 245 but keeping 998 for max and hitting refresh 5 or 6 times you'll see the min value a few times when refreshing.

where is the difference between on demand, user space and performance and what did you take? I took performace for some weeks and just set it to on demand (and 998/245)
so what settings would be proper to set to see a difference?
What scaling setting do you use, maybe you have custom profile?
I personally use 'ondemand', but I was thinking.... It would be nice to have a smart scaling setting, based on the amount the phone is used, screen brightness and the battery temperature, etc.

Hi.
I've set mine at 576 max and left minimum at 245, scaling is on demand, and have set a profile for screen off at 245 for both. I've left the advanced screen as I don't have a clue what any of it means lol.
Non
Used it at first when got rooted. still on root BA23 firmware and im very happy with the current setup. I left the processor to operate the way it want to do.
Dont take me wrong, its a great software, everything is depends on overall apps you are running. and its unique to your phone, check its really necessary.
After-all we are talking about android, not windows.
I want to know the best setting also I had some custome profiles (after reading in a post on XDA) but phone got slow, laggy & sometimes call drop. Then i deleted all custome profiles

I had that problem once. But i think it is a OS bug than the SetCPU bug itself. You should re-root your fone and set profiles one more time. It will help you save a lot of battery
My setting (following someone on the net)
- Fully chage (AC/USB): 998/245
- Screenoff: Max: 348 Min: 245
- Battery <25%: Max: 348 Min: 245
Ok Dundun, I've set profiles again same as yours let's see how it workd
Just came across this thread for decent SetCPU setting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734886
Without setcpu or pimp installed, if I just set the max of 1000 and min of 216 in the cm7 performance settings menu to restore on boot, will I get the same effect (the only governor setting that will stick is "null")?
Or is it still beneficial to use setcpu to set a screen-off profile?
And the screen-off profile, should the min and max be the same? 216/216? Or is it better to stagger it a little, like 216/312?
I ended up still using setcpu. The built in CPU settings did not work for me.

No, because this allows the governor to change the CPU anywhere between 216 and 1000. This is the default; unrooted stock has it like this.

I keep it 216/216 then allow an in-call profile that goes up to 312 in case when I'm calling someone and the screen is off it needs a bit more juice.
So basically, if I have setcpu installed, but I leave profiles "DISABLED", and leave the sliders alone, then I'm getting no different result from stock? The governor will decide to use the cpu at whatever frequency between 216 and 1000 that it needs at the time?

The Tegra 2 chipset doesn't allow you to change the governor settings. So to answer your question, yes the CPU chooses what frequency it needs depending on load.
I'm currently using CM10.1 AOSP [KANG] from the thread here -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520. In essence, I cannot raise either the minimum or maximum CPU speeds above 384MHz.
I just tried restoring my phone using a RUU recovery.exe file, then re-rooted, S-OFF'd, unlocked the bootloader and then updated the firmware. Right after flashing CM10.1, I am still having issues with changing the CPU speed. The maximum and minimum CPU speeds I can choose are either 192MHz or 384MHz. I can go into settings > performance then change the maximum CPU speed to anything higher than that, but almost instantly after I select it the maximum CPU speed drops back down to 384 MHz. The same goes for trying to raise the minimum CPU speed above 384MHz. It makes the phone nearly unusable, as it takes multiple seconds to open almost any application and also reboots randomly quite often. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!
Anyone have ideas/insight? Sorry to bump this!
Right. Here's what I did last time. I used something called SetCPU. Ticked the Set On Boot then it worked. But I unticked the ones in the Performance option.
This is what I do. Hope I help.
if you want do this also
go to system>etc>init.qcom.post_boot.sh and put this line(you can edit with simple text editor)
echo the value > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
do the same for cpu1 if you want to have the same frequency in both cpu
is it just me or does the cpu setting not work for custom values?
changing the performance profile does change the frequencies but say I'm on Balanced, and I want to change Minimum to 400. I tap it, the frequency would appear to stick for half a second and then change back to 300.
I've not seen anyone ask this question so maybe I'm the only one..
confused.
