SETCPU wont stick!

everytime i try to set the cpu to 528 max and min it keeps reverting back to 528 max 480 min

The cpu speed controls are locked in the compiled kernel, without the source-code we cannnot unlock it. Remind HTC of their obligations via the GPL license...

Ive tried this as well with the same result, my conclusion is that setcpu simply doesn't work on the hero. I know it has that menu where you can choose the phone you have(no hero in it).

Not sure how we could press this issue, but it is becoming a nuicasance and violates the sheer meaning of the phone.

The new SetCPU 1.4.2 works fine on my hero, I've tested it by setting both to 528mhz refreshing it, checking set on boot, rebooting it and it's still 528 min/max
There's a new Hero profile in 1.4.2

So complete curisoity here, does this thing really help? anyone done a time trial of sorts?

Still isnt sticking for me. I am running a stript down ROM, would that affect it?

I have personally spoken to the dev about getting it going and this application will not work on our phones until we can modify the kernel and remove it's ability to control the cpu. The gsm hero is capable of using it because they have their kernel, not the cdma hero.

[MOD] IncrediControl - Easy GUI Undervolting

Please read this post through thoroughly before downloading.
This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.
! HTC DEVICES, currently only single core devices are supported !
! ROOT is Required !
! Kernel that supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment REQUIRED !
Get it over at http://www.incredikernel.com
IncrediControl is now also available in the market:

IncrediControl - Ad Free
Additionally, all donators are eligible to receive the Ad Free version. It doesn't matter how much or how little you donate or have donated. If you don't want to purchase the app from the market, you may donate using the button on this page. Please register on the site first and include your username in the comments box.
All previous donators, please register on the site if you have not done so and contact me with your username!
NOTE: The settings in the general tab are only functional in kernels that have implemented the simple sysfs interfaces for usb fast charging and audio boost. If you toggle them, its not going to break anything, but they won't work and the app may crash. If you would like your kernel dev to implement the interfaces, please direct them to these two commits:
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/a7c21fa0391c225900f93960362535179c0cecc9
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/41dc138bae23dc7582de72a4d9895aaa8e1f8b2d
NOTE2: It is a requirement of the HAVS adjustment that the kernel you are using has the HAVS sysfs interface implemented. If it does not, it will not work.
NOTE3: Before using, please delete any boot scripts you may have in /etc/init.d that toggle any of the settings this app controls.

Hi,
Good job, just one thing, i use Eviollet kernel (svs) and there's a step at 128 mhz.
The apps doesn't show these step.
It Would be great if you can implement it.
Otherwise i found no bug.
Thx in advance.

The app skips the first frequency because on a lot of phones its a.useless frequency like 19mhz. Thanks for letting me know though. I will add an exception and upload a new version later.

Minor change to no longer skip the first frequency. On many phones the first frequency is a useless frequency like 19mhz so the app was set up to skip that frequency. This is only a temporary fix until I change it to display only the available frequencies instead of all of them.

Sounds interesting, will have a go

Hi,
Thx chad0989, now it works at 128 mhz

The eviollet Kernel implements AXI @ 128Mhz, which drops the bus down to 19Mhz which potentially could save more battery

But the actual cpu speed still never drops below 128mhz if I'm not mistaken (at least thats how it is on the inc, its possible to enable the use 19mhz cpu speed, but the phone is unusable). So the cpu voltage for 19mhz would never be used. I have changed the app now though to show all cpu frequencies available for use, so if you did enable the use of 19mhz cpu speed (you have to comment out a line in the acpuclock file), it would show up.
Hopefully that clears up confusion.

IncrediControl v1.3
Major changes include:
Ad Free has now been turned into a key that removes the ads from the free version. This allows donors who have downloaded the ad free version from the site to update through the market.
HAVS voltage checking. Minimum voltages can no longer be set higher than maximum voltages.
Boot voltages are now stored in the application’s data directory. Boot settings will now persist if you update your ROM or restore the application and data from a backup.

IncrediControl v1.4:
This is mostly a bug fix release but I have also added:
Automatic detection of the minimum and maximum voltages supported by your kernel
Unless any more bugs arise, the next release will have some new goodies to play with...

I'm making an enquiry for a friend who uses his HTC desire with RCMix S v2.0 Evolutionary Sense using SNQ v05 kernel. Does this Rom / kernel meet the InvrediControl system requirements?
One other question, in other utils I've used in the past they also supply a "reset" zip which can be used to revert the settings back to default in the event if instability/freeze (requires flash from recovery). Do you see value in creating a similar zip for over agressive UV?
Thanks again for a wonderful utility. Can't wait to try it.

I don't believe that kernel has the sysfs interface for adjusting voltages. You can still give it a shot though. The app will let you know if the kernel doesn't have the correct interface.
I also have a reset zip. It's on the site and there is a link in the OP.

SNQ anyone?
Ahhhw...no love for the wildly popular SNQ Kernal?!

The kernel dev has to implement the interface in order to use the app. Since I don't believe that the source for the GB kernel has been released yet for the desire, the dev won't be able to implement the interface until it is.

Thanks for the heads up. Next time I have access to the phone I will install and see what unfolds. But from what you said I'm not expecting much with SNQ.
Maybe time to suggest to my friend a new Rom

(Q) What to set default min freq in Daemon Controller?

I've just got 2 B50 Transformers, one of which I've rooted and flashed the latest Revolution HD rom on. I've used the Daemon Controller app to set the maximum freq to around 1.6 - what should the minimum value be? Currently I have it at 1.2...
I did a search but couldn't find anything relating to the Transformer specifically. It also doesn't mention it in the Daemon Controller thread either.

[Q] what is Daemon Controller...& CPU IO Scheduler?

Sorry for being such a noob...but gaining information is no harm...
i tried to google but lead to nothing...
what is Daemon Controller...& CPU IO Scheduler?
HELP...
thank you..

Daemon Controller is an app used to adjust clock speeds when using the virtuous OC Daemon (if you use apps like SetCPU, the daemon disables itself). Now, OC/UV beater is a better option, many ROMs come with an in-built app that can adjust this.
I'm not sure about the I/O scheduler, but this may help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_scheduling
EDIT: This best explains I/O schedulers - http://bit.ly/wtANSK

wikipedia was enough for the night..

Do read the other link, it's a pretty good thread that explains all cpu governors and I/O scheduling in pretty simple terms. I found wikipedia a bit complicated

[PATCH] INCOMPLETE fix for CM Performance settings only affecting cpu0

There's a long-standing bug (or omission rather) in (probably all) the kernels used for the HTC Sensation--a feature of some Qualcomm CPUs apparently--which is that you can independently set the max cpu frequency of both processor cores. Because of the way the CM Performance settings is written, it only sets cpu0 and expects cpu1 to automatically follow suite. This causes the second core to always run at the kernel's default max setting when the screen is on.
For some time now I've been twiddling with a patch for the kernel that would set cpu1(...n) to follow the changes of cpu0. I have not succeeded, and am now entirely fed up with the whole business and will dump my current results here if anyone is inclined.
I register a CPUFREQ_POLICY_NOTIFIER in the mach-msm/cpufreq.c driver and reading the values works just fine, but when I try to set them the second core seems to bog down and the phone slowly freezes.
Please note that I am not a kernel hacker, and not much familiar with Linux so there probably are glaring mistakes and stupid things in here.
This patch is against arch/arm/mach-msm/cpufreq.c and I was hacking at sources from @android1234567 's repo at https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan-kernel-bruce-linaro3
Enjoy or something

I wonder if anyone is going to include this patch. In my eyes its really usefull, but in this thread is no acticity, thats kind of awkward

Give it time for a developer to look into it if it's worth it (that depends in the eyes of users / devs) it will eventually be considered.
Far as I understood by default the cpu1 will always max no matter whats defined, is that right?

Yes, if you go by the CM Preferences GUI. It's possible to set the max frequency by doing
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online && echo <value in kHz> > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Or using a init.d script like the one included in some roms, but it's a bit cumbersome

So you need an app like kernel tuner to set each cpu frequency independently is that it?

Pimp My ROM has been doing fine for me, so yeah, kernel tuner and the alike work properly from my observations.

This is the full patch and the merge error fix, it can be easily merged into AOSP roms with the CM performance built into the settings package. Enjoy
(btw this patch will even work on quad core QCOM devices)

This is neat, should've known someone would be there before me
I considered solving it through patching the java code, but you'd have to interface it through the sysfs tree, and that leads to a race condition; the cpufreq files only exist in the tree when the cpu is online, so you'd either have to do some kind of wait loop (could be a long time before the cpu wakes up) or somehow force it to come online--something I don't know how to do.
