Running the infused v1 rom... and it constantly kills setCPU...
when i reload it, the values in the "advanced" tab are always back to -1 and they SHOULD be
80000
70

Thats on the Conservative governor...
how can i keep setCPU from being killed?
You don't need to have SetCPU running, you just need to save your values.
One way to make sure its running when you think it's not is to set up a profile for "charging" set the values to something other that stock (obviously) select the setcpu widget then plug your phone into the charger, if values change (may take a second or 2) than your all set.

Which kernel? I don't know about the default kernel with Infused v1, but with bedwa's Infusion kernels there's some code in the kernel that consistently overrides the up_threshold and down_threshold values in the Advanced tab.
SetCPU isn't dying - it's just the kernel and the Advanced tab don't get along. All other functions (Voltage on Infusion kernels, min/max/governor changing profiles on all kernels) should function fine.
Edit: nash2000 has a good suggestion. As a test set a "charging" profile with a clock limit - if this profile gets activated when you plug the charger in, setCPU is working fine.

Alright... did that... seems to be working fine now.
i guess the v1 kernel is just crappy battery life and the kernel is janky...
seems everyone else is having issues with v1. Guess i need to load v2
My setcpu has been activing funny as well, only since gingerbread install. Ill keep my profiles the same (low values with screen off and when charging) now when I turn my screen off I can't open my phone back up, I have to pull battery. My values are real low but worked fine on froyo. Now I'm playing with juice defender and a few others.

There's a known Sleep of Death issue with screen-off profiles that limit the phone to below 800 MHz. It was fixed in Froyo but I'm not sure if gtg has pulled netarchy's fix into his Gingerbread kernels yet.

hhhmmm... guess ill find out when i load GB
wanted to report that i am using setCPU to OC to 1600, UV every frequency, as well as set sleep/charging profiles on GTG's GB ROM.
the sleep profile is set at 400, and so far no SOD issues. i'm even UVing that frequency minimally.
so far (a few hours, since bedwa's new kernel dropped), completely stable.
UVing with setCPU on froyo was a certain SOD, as soon as i set the values - so far, so good on GB!

Create a screen off profile & set it to 245/245 max/min with smartass governor or conservative. When I was using SetCPU, I undervolted so that while my screen was on, the max was ~600. For the most part I rarely needed it any higher than that for my usage. However if you want to keep it at 998 or above, you will still benefit from a screen off profile.
I only run AOSP, so Sense may need more juice with the screen on.

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?

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"?

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 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.

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

EDIT:
Below is the setup that has worked best for me, in terms of performance and battery life. I seem to have found a good balance.
1.2 GHz/245 MHz (Conservative)
Profiles
Screen Off - 768/245 MHz (Conservative)
Charging - 1.2 GHz/245 MHz (On Demand)
In Call - 1 GHz/245 MHz (Conservative)
*Profiles are ordered in terms of priority (e.g., if I am on a phone call and my phone is charging, the charging profile is activated).
*I'm also undervolted.
I keep my phone at ~.7GHz (underclocked) when on battery, 1GHz when on charger, and have profiles for medium (~1.3GHz) and max OC (~1.7GHz), as the kernel will allow, in case I need the extra power for something (like FPSe, chainfire, etc).
I keep mine at 500Mhz...gingerbeast is so beastly it can run decently even at about 200Mhz, I only use maximum...1900Mhz when I am showing off.

I was running at max OC (1.8Ghz with LeeDroid's kernel) for a little bit, but realized I didn't need the speed. Since I'm a PC overclocker as well, I couldn't just let things be at stock, so now I'm at 1.267Mhz max, and .245Mhz min. I'm doing my best not to bump it up more, and going to see how much I get out of my phone. I'm a very light user most of the time, so it's sometimes hard to gauge.
I overclocked for the same reason I OC'd my PC, because I could. That said, I'm running MDJ's kernel on Inspired Ace with the smarta** governor set at 245 min and 1400 max.

using setCPU and being on CM7, i overclock to 1.7 ghz while the screen is on, using the interactive gov. i also set up a "screen off" profile that is underclocked to 247? mhz so that while my phone sits in my pocket for the majority of the day or on my desk, etc, etc.... it conserves quite a bit of power.
ive been using this set up since i got my inspire on cm7 (whenever that had its first RC) and im getting anywhere from 48-60 hours of usage.
my daily usage includes: tethering, streaming audiogalaxy, ghosttown, pandora. camera stuffs, calls, texts, 2 email accounts syncing, twitter, facebook, calendar, palmary weather updates, and much more stuff. so im going to stick to this set up until someone says they can get more usage with all that going on.
I run min(250 IIRC) and max(1.5) using on-demand.
I was overclocked at 1800 but my phone would freeze sometimes to where i had to pull my battery. So I tried 1000 but 2 days and then 1500. I noticed little difference in battery us and speed. I stuck with 1500 but after reading this thread i am gonna try 750. I never used any battery monitoring widgets. Im gonna try that. I use Leedroid GB btw.
I'm running at 1.2ghz with Coredroid and am happy.
