SETCPU

Does anyone still use SETCPU?
Just curious... Tegrak has been great.

I use both.I use setcpu for profile options.
Set phone to 200mhz when screen is off, battery saved, music won't skip.

So you only use the profile options? What about on screen 1. 1000 200

Just set to max/min(1444/100), on demand.

But set max min only 1000/100 not 1440 ???

I am also using tegrak to overclock.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

Tegrak is a little more in depth over Set CPU. I used SetCPU before I knew about Tegrak, but now its honestly obsolete imo. I did buy it but I dont use it anymore.
Of course I could always revisit it in the future if I ever buy a non galaxy phone that Tegrak doesn't work on.

Battery script

I noticed there is a script for epic touch that will lower the processor speed to 1Ghz when between 84%-35% batter then 800Mhz at 34%-0% battery, is there any way to get that to run on the skyrocket?

Get setcpu in the market and adjust to the same settings.

Distorted Display Error?

I'm running 4.1.2. from AOKP on a Captivate. Recently, while online using Maxthon browser, I intermittently get a distorted screen. Everything freezes and the phone reboots.
The screen distortion is like a double image with vertical stripes of broken lines. All functionality is lost and after about 10 seconds the phone restarts.
Is this a hardware issue, a kernel issue, a Maxthon issue or some other problem?
Thanks.

Are you overclocking at all? It's either that or your phone doesn't like the voltages provided by the kernel.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Kernel doesn't allow voltage changes. The CPU is set for 100 min, 1200 max. Are you thinking I should back down that top end? Maybe 1000 Mhz?
I'll do that and set the governor to conservative.

App that helps battery?

Are there any apps out there that LEGITIMATELY help save/prolong battery life? I have memory booster running but that just helps my phone run smoother by killing cached app processes. Anything you guys can recommend?

This phone requires it's own nuclear power plant lol.
Seriously though, don't use memory boosters. They kill battery.
My setup is, CPU Tuner with timeriffic to set display brightness. With Maz's latest kernel I can get by... mind you I live in a very bad signal area (2 bars if I am lucky).
I set cpu to 216 when screen off with performance governor. Also I turn off data and Wi-Fi when screen turns off.

I have mazs latest beta kernel as well. Don't really see a difference in battery life from his previous oc kernel. Ill try CPU tuner though

Sure, but be careful with it. I once it accidentally to low enough power to where I could not get out of screen off (kept going back to screen off). Also using one cpu does not work.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Does CPU tuner even work with a kernel that not over clockable?

Would, but only two cpu states will be accessible... fairly useless.
Edit: you need voltage states for intermediate voltages, then it should work. But I have never seen a non OC kernel with granular voltage definition.

Antutu battery saver is genius. on the pulldown notification it gives battery % (+battery added)
so like 100%((+30)
also clean master (which is a memory booster) doesn't run in background so it doesn't deplete battery as much as some others
Sent from my LG-P999

i installed android booster, but also procured a brand new stock battery, and i actually am enjoying about 50-60% increase in battery life... although it still is not a lot (as far as i'm concerned!) after draining it, recharging to 100%, and then calibrating, i went 7 hrs 47 mins from 100% to 50% with normal use - calling, texting, some video, some gaming. not to bad considering my old battery would only last about 3 hours or less with the same kind of usage!!!

Check out DS Battery saver. I use it on my N7, catch is, to save battery it turns off all wireless signals. It also forces the device into deep sleep as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

well i wouldn't want ALL wireless signals to be disrupted. How would i receive phone calls lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yea, if you get the paid version you can create custom profiles. It's a nice app for a tablet, but only so nice for a phone.

I have used it. Phone works (would be pointless otherwise as we already have the airplane mode).

I just started using "Auto3G" to turn off data and periodically cycle it on to check for emails, etc. I'm getting over 48 hours with mild use.

Latest CM7 with Trinity ELP kernel.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm using Trinity ELP file "ELP-G2x-06022012.zip", which has worked best for me as my G2X doesn't work that well with faux-based kernels. I'm also running dual boot with Maz's awesome JB rom with hardware acceleration - this is where I install games and experimental apps.

2 cores online

OK my friend has an s3 running CyanogenMod 10.1.2 and both cores are on making is phone hot how do we disable one

What governor are you using? Check that out in the performance section under settings.

I think CPU Sleeper Dual Core makes the 2nd core turn off while the screen is off but I'm not sure

We tried different governor s but both cores are still on. custom kernel is kt747

Are 2 cores online by default because my phone is heating up

Have you tried restarting your phone?

2 cores on is the default for almost every Governor, excellent for Abyssplug and Pegasusq, they hotplug by themselves. Although you can turn on Auto Hotplug with any governor

If the phone is getting hot for no reason then there is something else going on that needs to be addressed. Have you looked into battery usage or checked for wakelocks?

Heat and battery consumption are related to how long the CPU runs and at what speed. Not whether 1 or 2 cores are in use. If yours is heating up, either you are using a app that requires lots of graphics and real time like a game or you have a renegade app that is misbehaving.
