Optimal CPU OC Settings for Droid X - Droid X Themes and Apps

I'm using SetCPU on my rooted Droid X and I wanted to see if anyone could help me find the best CPU settings for my OC'd DX. Right now I have it set at 800 MHz minimum and 1000MHz maximum with scaling on demand and 'Set on Boot' enabled.
Any guidance I could get on this would be greatly appreciated.
Battery life isn't an issue.
Thanks!

youre asking a really open ended question here bud
because what it comes down to is a multitude of factors
ie: what android OS youre using, what version, what rom, what programs you have to aid in overclocking, what do you use your droid x for on a regular basis, are you looking to tweak speed for mere benchmark results or to conserve power, do you game, etc etc etc.
youd have to give me more to go on bud

every phone is different also. i have the same setup as my phone on my friends, and he cant oc past 1.15 without hanging. personally, my highest profile in droid overclock is 1.25 ghz at 58vsel. and lowest 250mhz at around 28vsel
by the way on on liberty 2.0.1 with a theme and a few build.prop tweaks

Overclocking/Underclocking??!!???

As I like to test all roms, i thought i would post in this forum, i read a lot about overclocking etc, now I have a 32b magic, and i got the setcpu application, I use my phone a lot on opera mini, calling and texts, and the odd game, been told overclocking uses more battery, but whats the best setting for my phone, someone says put max 528 minimum 122, others say as i browse a lot put maximum 245 minimum 122 which i presume is underclocking, thanks for any help given btw im running CaNNoNs 2.2.1 rom
528 is overclocked on the G1, it's whatever the setting is around 300 that is the default clock speed.
Overclock if you want speed. Under clock if you want more battery life. That's it.

Or use Pershoot's kernels and overclock/undervolt. I prefer Dumfuq's balls-to-the-wall overclocking b/c it's no big deal to carry an extra battery
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a Sticky for overclocking!

Mytouch 4g Setcpu Optimization

So I've been searching the forums for a good thread on optimizing setcpu for specifically the Mytouch 4G. I couldn't find one so after i read up on it i created this profile. The tweaks that I've found make this run very fast and gets me easily 18 hours of battery life, and that is with moderate usage. These setting should work for most if not all devices. I don't get any real noticeable lag even when turning the screen on. I'm Using SetCPU 2.1.0 on a Grankin01 Kernel on a Stock ROM, and I'm also using "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" using moderate preset. Hopefully people will post there profiles anyway here it is.
Here is the thread for the Kernel I'm usinghttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876848

louie i dont know what to make of your preset here... Either you are running your phone incredibly slowly or you have forgotten a 0 on the end and are crazy OCing it...
Have mine set at 76800-1113600 on demand and I demand a lot and average about 8hrs. CM7, zinx kernel,with superpower.
I've been trying to get profiles and triggers down except I use CPU tuner inserted of setcpu. Is it possible to over clock yet still save battery? I doubt that somehow lol. If anyone can post full settings that save battery but still runs well I'd appreciate it. Ill copy one of you guys.
Questions though. What is all the governor stuff like performance, conservative, on demand, etc? What are the thresholds? What are the min max standards? Like if I have 300 and 1500, which does it user and why? Those are the only things I can't grasp

Check out this link it has all you'll need to know http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/210253-setcpu-guide.html
What you want is your device to throttle based on the load being put on it. When you aren't doing much i.e. reading a text it should be clocked at 245760 for example because that's not a demanding task. and versely when you play a graphics intensive app or something, it should use just over the maximum amount of cpu power needed to run the app so the app runs smooth. but wont waste battery by overclocking to 1708800 when only a speed of 1017600 is needed. For this i use "conservative" on SetCPU because it will allow more customization.
My advanced settings for SetCPU are as follow. i haven't use CPU Tuner but hopefully it's similar.
Sample Rate you want kinda low 200000 is what i have and i don't get much if any lag.
Up Threshold is at what percentage of processor usage that the clock speed is increased. for me its set to 60. in other words at 60% load on the processor it will start to increase the clock speed.
Down Threshold is the load percentage where the clock speed will be reduced. i have mine set to 33.
Ignore Nice Load will just ignore nice processes. This includes system i believe. i have mine set to 0.
Grabbed this from a mac forum but it should apply.
"A process's priority is determined with a complex formula that includes what the process is doing and how much CPU time the process has already consumed. A special number, called the nice number or simply the nice, biases this calculation: the lower a process's nice number, the higher its priority, and the more likely that it will be run."
Frequency Step is how much of a jump the CPU will take to meet the load. mine is set low, (12) because most processes and apps wont need a whole lot of boost to run smoothly. For my device on average it will be under 768000 which is what you want and is where the battery saving really comes in. Because the CPU is under-clocked most the time its using a lot less battery but is still running everything smoothly.
A lot of people set there devices to ondemand because it's, "very responsive." although true its responsiveness comes from big steps in clock speed as opposed to the small ones that will most likely get the same job done. i.e. a clock speed of 902400 is more then enough to run the process quickly ondemand will jump to 1708800 to handle the same task.
copied from the above link at android forums.
" * ondemand - Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
* conservative - Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
* performance - Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking.
* powersave - Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times.
* userspace- A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor."
Please post in General section, not dev.
Well i changed my setting a little to be a bit more responsive and i haven't noticed a increase in battery usage. I set my max speed to 1516800 and min to 368640 and its running quite nicely.
Anyone else getting good result with the conservative setting?

Frequency rules saves do save a lot of battery. Combine with undervolting and memory optimizations and you'll get big saves. But no setcpu is solely for cpu settings.
Whats the most stable speed to run this at?
So far i haven't had any stability issues on the Grankin01 Kernel. They ironed out most the stability issues in the Kernel its self. I do however keep my main profile around 1708800 - 1516800, generally 1516800, and min is set to 368640 and I've had no problem not even a signal freeze or crash. I've also run at 1708800 for most of the day plugged in and no issues other then heat. So i think is up to mostly prefrence.
I'm using a stock rom with bloatware removed and as i mentioned the Grankin01 1.7 OC Kernel.
Here is what I'm talking about. Sometimes the auto detect or something is wrong and I get this screen instead of the one you get. I don't understand why. I change ROMS a lot and I don't know if it is ROM specific or not. I'm currently on the cm7 preview from Zinx. Although I have seen it on other ROMS also as I posted before. Here is a pic.

Looks like from your screen shot that the profile SetCPU is using is on On demand, interactive or some default. What Kernel are you using? that may be the issue. If not a kernel issue. Then it may be a issue with CM7 and how SetCPU interacts with it. try disabling all your profiles and make sure that your main profile is for sure set to conservative.
Nothing else make a backup and try a different Kernel. Grankin01 has a few great ones and even a CM7 kernel with tunes and tweaks. As well as Gorilla. but id try the CM7 Kernel Grankin01 has first my buddy is running it and hasn't had problems. Just make you do a full backup to avoid a FUBAR situation.

You are right it was the main profile was set to on demand and when set to on demand these available options change.

I am new to all this, first Android phone I have had and first time I have installed custom roms etc... Anyways I installed a new ROM and it has Daemon Controller installed but I don't have a clue how is all works so I want to know what are the best settings to have. Obviously I want better battery life and good performance. Current settings are:
Wake Min: 122000
Wake Max: 1152000
Wake Gov: ondemand
Sleep Min: 122000
Sleep Max: 384000

Desire S Q&A
For all of your questions relating to the HTC Desire S
Seeing as you seem to have trouble reading and understanding basic english, this is where this should have been posted.
In seriousness though, use smartass or smartassv2 as it scales the cpu up and down when needed and when the phone demands the extra processing power. Maybe decrease the max wake speed to something around the 1Ghz point.
Google is also your best friend when asking these sort of questions as there is almost about 100+ posts on this throughout the forum.

So would you suggest removing Daemon Controller and using smartass(v2) instead?
I have looked on Google and I found posts regarding other phones not Desire S, but I'm not too sure what I'm looking for.

Is there an option to change the on-demand governor in oc controller? Because it should atleast give you a few options.
Also which ROM/Kernel are you using?
Also there was plenty of need for what I said, probably not as sarcastic and blunt as it was put, but it gets the point accross as this is a question thread. Also due to the more aggressive nature of said sentence the point has been reacted to, hence you have spent more than a split second thinking about it, hence next time you post a thread similar your memory may retain and regress on what I've said ;-).
But if you wanted it to be a general thread you could have sneakily read worded what you said, I'm not offering any "tasters" though.

Rom: Saga3D V3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029
Kernal: HYPERION-V1.2.
(If you think there is better ROMS or Kernals I'm open to suggestions, I'm sure I'll be able to find the appropriate thread with instructions how to install etc.)
ROMs:
As for ROMs I would highly recommend Lowveld's Endymion Sense 3.5 Runnymede Port for the HTC Desire S. The ROM is excellent in all aspects, and gives the user exactly what they need for their daily demands. Battery life is excellent, 18 hours 30% remaining. Lowveld, the developer frequently answers questions and is very active in the development of his ROM.
Installation?
If you have 4EXTRecovery (If not I highly recommend either downloading the free recovery control application, which will install it for free, or if you wish to assist the developer, 4EXT Recovery Control it has a lot of additional features and benefits.)
Perform a full wipe; system/data/boot/cache.
Format to EXT4 (If you aren't already).
Flash the zip.
OC Daemon
Virtuous = Smartassv2
I use Virtuous for both wake/sleep and 460800/1075200 min/max frequency. I used to use 245000, but I found occasionally when the phone would wake, it would lag a little on the GUI (but that was me personally, so I increased it from 245000 to 460800, without any real damage to battery life).

interactive
The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down
to.

As explained by MDJ:
SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 998/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more!

Still got any ROM running on your phone?
Well I have just recovered to my old rom that came with the phone but I did put [Endymion V2.1|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V1.1|OC|FFC on so can put it back if needs be?
Nah nah all good, just download that recovery control application that I posted in my previous post, you can use that application to easily "upgrade" clockwork mod to the 4EXT Recovery menu, which will add a lot more functionality to your recovery menu.
Wait did you put your stock ROM back on? Is it rooted? If it's not rooted, I think you have to do the previous steps in a rooted ROM like Endymion to ensure that it works properly.
I'll put the custom rom back on then but obviously I'd prefer to do it for free... lol. But I'll buy the control app if I need to?
The one I linked you to is free, there's just an optional paid applicatiob
Yeah thats my problem, how do I use the apk file? This is whats confusing me?
Use something like ES File Explorer to navigate to where the apk is located on your SDCard, then install it that way. Be sure to enable Unknown Sources in Settings > Applications.

SETCPU in Thunderbolt

I just purchased SETCPU from the market. I know its free here but from what I've read it is well worth 2 bucks (or a lot more).
I'm running bamf 1.0,9 cubed and I verified in setcpu it is set to low of 368 and high of 1 ghz.
I am using stock kernel but thinking of trying adynaline's new kernel.
Anyway should I set a custom profile? Any suggestions on settings? I'm more interested in avoiding screen freeze than speeding up anything.
Profiles are not needed.
They're just usefull if you want to underclock at a certain battery level or temperature to save battery or cool down the device in my opinion.

i had some profiles of:
screen on - min was as low as it could go, max = 1.4ghz -ondemand
screen off - min was as low as it could go, maz = 5xx mhz - batt saver or conservative
battery at 50%, put max at 1ghz- on demand
battery at 15% max was at 7xx mhz -batt saver/conservative
temp>115 max was 7xx mhz-batt saver
this yeilded pretty good battery life. i am a heavy data user in a 4g area and on a sense ROM i could easily get 12 hours. pushed it over a day with me trying to get the best battery life possible.
Sounds good. I'm also a heavy user.
Profiles aren't needed with a lot of kernels. Some have built in profiles and in others some governors include profiles such as smartass and interactivex.
The only thing I really use it for is if I overclock, which I rarely ever do, and to change the governor.

AntonX's kernel and setcpu

Good evening all,
I am currently running vb with the latest above kernel and xda-edition of setcpu...
My question, has anyone found voltages that are stable?
I have always/only used tegrak, when adjusting the voltages I am able to adjust "internal" as well as "core" voltages, as you may know setcpu only allows the adjustment of one voltage. So, I set all levels to the "internal" voltages that worked for me on tegrak(scaling set to smartass), everything was working fine until I rebooted the phone... At that point the phone would boot then freeze after the third media scan, I had to flash back to the b1 kernel to get back up and running.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You're trying to undervolt? Anton's b5 in undervolted. I'd stick with his recommended values.
How do you actually implement these voltages? I've only used Tegrak so this is new
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
QUIETLYloud , I dont't have paid Tegrak so I cannot make a thorough test.
I tried using very old Ultimate version available someplace on the web, and it does in fact seem to mess the phone up. I didn't need to reflash, but had to uninstall Tegrak, reboot, clear caches, and rescan SD for errors. Google says that there were issues with Tegrak module and custom kernels, but they were supposedly fixed around version 1.4.
I tied the new free version 1.6.7 from Market. It doesn't let me do much (like setting on boot), but at least it seems to work correctly with frequencies.
The setup with OC kernel is a little different. Before, if you wanted to OC, you would go and enable CPU Max Frequency, which would replace 1 GHz. Do not go there! The kernel already has all overclocking frequencies available. Instead set the Scaling to the highest frequency you want to use (let's say 1.2 Ghz, which is CPU Level 2). Then go to Optimization and set desired voltages for the frequencies you chose. No need to change anything for frequencies above you max scaling, the CPU will not go there anyway. Maybe it's a good idea to completely clear Tegrak data and start setting it up form scratch.
Let me know if you succeed.
Btw common Google knowledge doesn't seem to recommend lowering internal voltages. You will not gain much, there is just not a lot of current draw there. It's the core that draws a lot of current.
EDIT: Hmm... Tegrak seems to have a problem with smartassV2 governor. If the scaling in Tegrak is set to use anything but all frequencies, including 1.4 Ghz, the governor will never lower the frequency from the highest selected. The kernel itself (with SetCPU or without) doesn't have this problem, it's only when proprietary Tegrak module is loaded.
AntonX...
I decided to scrap tegrak for the time being and use what you recommended with setcpu and left voltages alone until I have a better understanding, since doing so haven't had any problems

Btw I said before I set the default voltages kind of safe, even if they are slightly undervolted. I'm running the kernel UV-ed a little more with SetCPU for second day without any issues. Here are my numbers right now:
1.4 - 1350
1.3 - 1300
1.2 - 1275
1.0 - 1250
800 - 1175
400 - 1025
200 - 925
100 - 900
Hi guys
I apologize for some noobness coming this way, but I don't understand. Kernel beta5 is oc/uv - what does it mean if I don't use setcpu/tegrak?
Will kernel behave other than prior versions?
And if I decide to do use setcpu? What good does it make if uv makes no change (according to Antonx) and oc will only drain the battery even more, I mean, phone is pretty much fast, so why bother oc it?
Thanks!
