SetCPU

Anyone noticed the update? Looks like they are experimenting w the Evo. Just updated will see.

Not sure if anyone has been playing w this, but underclock/profiles works for me (in case anyone like to save a bit of battery) It wont stick after a reboot though.

Np, i can confirm w system panel that the clock sets, i got mine at 245/245 profile screen off and i have seen a dif w battery drainage while the screen is asleep, of course only under clocking, no OC.

Afaik you can't underclock the Evo w the widget w the current kernel, unless u are running the overclockable one. Looks like the dev for setcpu have been tweaking it to make it somewhat work w the evo and the stock kernel. Btw if u look around xda u can get it free.

So i uninstalled overclock widget and installed setcpu and enabled screen off profile set at 245. How can I test that its underclocking to 245 when screen is off?
EDIT: Nvm i figured it out

okay so it will do 998 normal and i can set it to like 245/245 when its sleeping?

Does this thing come with some docs or something? None of it really makes sense to me and I would like to think I have some clue as to what I am doing LOL
what do you have yours set at? I set a profile up for screen off at 245/245 but thats about it really...hopefully that works when its sleeping.

I have the same settings for when the screen is off, make sure you disable perflock on menu. I tried 576? And it didn't stick, 768 is really what i use, its good enough for me and also the screen off settings which i have priority set at 90.

IIRC 576 didn't stick for me, but im not 100% sure, i know 245 works, set it to 245/245 and run linpack, i got ones, also i verify using systempanel.

I've got SetCPU scaling ondemand between 998 (max) and 245 (min). I can tell it's working by refreshing an app like System Panels, and seeing the clock speed vary.
The newer versions of SetCPU have a preflock disabler which is the kernel workaround I think.
The only problem I have with SetCPU is that everytime the phone reboots, I need to "Automatically detect speeds". Apart from that, everything is great!

Battery Calibration

Didn't see this posted yet in the apps section, there is an app which helps in calibrating your battery. The app is located in the market and is created by an XDA member all credit goes to him. You must be rooted for this app to have an effect, I can vouche for this app as I have used both on the EVO and now on the G2X I have experienced great battery life after using this in conjunction with setcpu.

Out of curiosity, what are people using for the settings on SetCPU (ie max and max). Also, I noticed the "Scaling" option is grayed out on my G2x over my old Nexus One. Does the scaling option require a custom kernel I am guessing? Thanks.

Also, What settings are you guys using for Juicedefender?

All scaling does is how the CPU scales itself(to a given formula depending on the profile) for example if using a conservative scale the CPU scales itself by 15mhz depending on the task so if your min is 218 it would go up or down by 15 until it reaches the maximum or min. Since no kernals are available yet for our device it will use the default scaling profile built in. my screen off profile is a Max 218 Min 218 with a priority of 100. Regardless of the scaling profile selected I am forcing the CPU to down clock to that set of perimeters
So what I use for SetCPU is
Profile : Screen off
Max 218
Min 218
Priority 100

You dont get lag when unlocking with these settings?

[Q] SetCpu help!!

"Third -(Root Needed) Set CPU. Have had this on my G1 and N1 and it does nothing but save battery. I currently have it set on 216 - 1000 for when the screen is on and the only profile i have is for when the screen is off and it is at 216-216.
(Alternative) Pimp My CPU. I now am using this for my G2x because I am running custom kernal. Personally I like Set CPU better, but do to the fact that Set CPU can't get past 1000 MHz makes it kinda useless for the G2x Tegra 2. "
This is for the thread "Twenty Hour Of Battery Life" When he says he currently has it set on 216-1000, is he using the "Pimp My CPU"? Also where is that set at exactly? Is it set on the "Main-Scaling Driver" When you open up SetCpu? My "Scaling" is greyed out, I can not set it to "OnDemand" or anything, and yes my phone is rooted, it was the first step in that thread. Both Min, and Max go from 122, 128,245, and 528mHZ, so I am confused on this 216-1000? Also When I go to create a profile, and choose "Screen Off", I have the same issue as above, 216-216? What is that??? Be specific, and I am not a stranger to rooting, etc, so help me out, so I can on to the next step and install "Battery Calabration"

Haha What typed is pretty simple to understand. I have the app SetCpu and when you open up, you are at the "Main" Tab, "Scaling" is greyed/blacked out, I can not set it to On Demand or Conservative. My phone is rooted, and SetCpu has Root Access.
Now how come scaling is disabled? Also, when the person who created the thread "Twenty Hour Battery Life" said he currently has it set to 216-1000, what does that mean? how do I set it to that? He also mentioned that he created profile for when the screen is off, and set it to "216-216", I do not understand what that means, and how to set it like that? I created a profile "Screen Off", but I am stuck at how to put it to "216-216"?

Setcpu works fine he needs a custom kernel.. Like mordic or faux..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

On my Nexus One here the only thing I have Setcpu do is when the screen is off it goes to min245 max 384. While using your phone Android regulates your processing power based off of what it needs. While Android does that when the phone sleeps I don't want it going above 384. With my Nexus One I usually get around 18hours + of battery life w/ medium usage. I didn't have my G2x long enough to try out Setcpu but IMO only have setcpu regulate your sleepmode

Why do people keep saying this? I guess the author of the app is lying when he says it is compatible and all the people running it successfully are lying also.
SetCpu supports Terga 2 starting with version 2.1.1a

SetCPU does work with the tegra2 but I am not sure if it is playing nice with the custom kernels made by Faux and Morfic, that is why everyone is using Pimp My CPU

SetCPU works for scaling but not overclocking.
A great free app that DOES work with both of those kernels is CPU Master - find it on the market.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew something wasn't right with set CPU onthis phone

Setcpu does support tegra in G2X but currently does not support oc'ing. The scaling is greyed out on mine to but doesn't affect it sd i have seen.
So if your looking for settings use these for setcpu
Profile battery < 25%
Max 500
Min lowest
Reason: save battery amd extend phone usage
Profile sceen off
Max 1ghz
Min lowest
Reason: will drop to 216 if not using and is in idle but will jumo up if processing power is needed
Profile general (main screen)
Max 1ghz
Min 1ghz
Reason: makes cpu run full steam when using

lowest safe cpu speed for screen off and in call?

trying to make some custom setcpu profiles and curious if anyone knows what the lowest safe cpu speed for when the screen is off and also while in a call and the screen is off?

Right now I'm on VI and I'm running 368 max and 245 min which is the lowest min for this rom. I always run the lowest on min and 1 higher for max on sleep settings. I don't encounter any issues.

Don't go below 200 when screen is off. You'll get the "sleep of death" at the most inconvenient times.

I have already gone under 200mhz for sleep frequencies. Android revolution goes under 200 and I would run it under 200 always till now that I'm on VI.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I run lowest at 187MHz @ 700mV without any problem. I also set my screen off freq to that. Never tried one below that freq.

Here's a little info on using an overclocking daemon vs setcpu taken from the virtuous unity thread.
Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon
This ROM features a completelynew wayof Overclocking and managing screen states.
The History But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions. There are several different approaches to achieve "screen-state-scaling". That means basically thatthegovernor changes if you turn the screen off and changesbackto normal when turning the screen on.
This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.
The solutions so far were:
Apps likeSetCPU,which changeautomaticallythe governor based on profiles Integrated solutions in the governor itself
Both these solutions have major problems.
The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the governors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.
The second solution is the smartass governor. It has already a screen-state-scalingincluded,so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off. This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too. Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.
Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.

Thats very low. Surprised you do not get any issues.

Wish I could find the thread, but I was on a custom ROM that set the minimum CPU frequency to something below 200 by default, and I couldn't send text or MMS messages. Really weird.

[Q] Safe Overclock

Hi yes im new but not quite a noob :cyclops:
There with that out of the way my overclock settings are 1200mhz min 1600mhz max
so far running great with the HellyBean rom
But how would this effect my phone long term if any and I would like to be able to moniter my cpu temp like I do on my pc
but the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140371&highlight=cpu+temp
has some good apps but they don't say cpu temp just the battery temp unless there interlinked some how
Thanks for looking

No temp sensor on the infuse except for battery.
1200 is really high for a minimum... This should be 100. For performance set governor to ondemand.. This will Max the cpufreq on any load. When idle, freq will drop and save battery and cool phone.
Running for extended periods at 1600 your phone will get very warm to the touch.. Combo of cpu and screen... If plugged into charger that will add more heat.
Battery Monitor Widget is a good app for tracking battery temp and related stats over time.

Thanks ya I figured it was a bit high

Do 100 min and 1400 max
And governor to on demand
Also i set up profiles with set cpu so when screen is off the maximum goes down to 400mhz.then screen on profile the max is 1400.it saves battery
