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
and here is a link for setcpu basics.

Alright here are my most recent setting I've been running.
I get around 20 hours of battery life on my phone with moderate use my set CPU settings are
Overclocked to 1.5 ghz minimum 245 ghz
Battery below 30% Max 1 ghz min 245 ghz
Screen off max 245 ghz min 245 ghz
Latest Cyanogen mod Alpha 7.0
I use max 1113 min 245 scaling on demand...screen off min 245 max 350
MT4G + CM7
Pretty sure this is in the wrong place. I guess you read up on everything except where would an appropriate place to post this be.

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?

Is there a way to change voltage? Frequency rules saves are minumum on cellphones.
I'm using Setcpu 2.1.0 and I'm using a stock OC Kernel from Grankin01 and u have to set the profile to conservative.

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.
Ignore the dropcap2 as I had just used it to take the picture.

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.
As far as kerenls go I have not had good luck with Grankin CM Gingerbread kernels but he is working on a fix.
I want to make sure I'm not trippin', I've searched all thru the dev forum, and I don't see a non overclocked kernel. everyone complains about battery life but they are using a kernel that wasn't geared for battery life. oc kernels are for performance and bragging rights. we need a stock kernel with uv and ram optimization along with battery optimization mods

Why not just not overclock? Also, the kernel that comes in Inspired Ace isn't overclockable.
There are many battery saving options! If you have the Leedroid kernel, in setcpu you have the option of running your proccesor at Powersave, performance,smartass and so on...this is also in a few other kernels but I am not sure which ones at the moment.
And if you are really hyped up on saving battery, shutoff haptic feedback, turn of data when you are not using it, lower screen brightness, Use a task killer to kill stray apps(if you were playing angry birds kill it afterwards).
These are a few things you can do that will increase your battery life significantly...
With an overclock capable kernel, you can underclock. I run mine at 921 MHz and don't notice any performance hit. I've tweaked the undervolt to as low as I can get away with. I get pretty awesome battery life that way.
Before you ask, I'm using a kernel I compiled myself from HTC's latest linux source for the Inspire. It's essentially stock with only the addition of the frequency table and hooks for OC/UV.

This.
Simply underclocking will solve your problems. I prefer to run @1.4 Ghz. I have everything optimized for speed & efficiency and still don't lose in battery performance.
Running CM7 with LordMod UE 2.6 kernel and smartass CPU governor, I can set the max speed to 768mhz with very little performance hit noticed. I might just keep it that way, haven't decided yet. Scrolling is still smooth, Angry Birds is still smooth. The cool thing about running max 768mhz with the pinky undervolt script is the CPU voltage never goes above 900mv.
I'm running CM7 with nightly 91 and on my Vibrant, they made a kernel that was stock uv no oc and u could use it all day, literally....

How are you not getting reboot problems with 400 at -200mv? I'm using faux's froyo kernel and when I undervolt at -100mv i get rebooting problems
I replied to your comment in my main post, since other people may be interested in that and that will cause them not to scan the pages.

so how is your battery life?
Bad. Something about those settings messed it up. I much prefer just using the custom rom default kernel its much better on the battery

My chip could only use faux's OC 1.2ghz, using the kernel OC 1.5 would cause my phone to boot loop. I could go stable @ faux OC 1.2 with minimum UV, getting qudrant score of atleast 3000 - 3500. Another kernel that i tried is MOrfic's, I can go stable up to 1.4 Ghz/minimum UV- quadrant of atleast 4000-4300. I believe i have what they say as the "weak chip" though running OC @ 1.4 ghz doesn't make it look weak. Thanks to the great DevS!
Can you experienced doods, help out a noob? I have recently rooted my phone (after MUCH research and reading) and just installed Set CPU app. I have been reading about the different settings for Set CPU, and it appears to be device specific, so I wanted to know if any can suggest some stable and useful settings and profiles I can use.
My goal would be to extend battery life and increase erformance while the phone is being used. I kinda guess this is most peoples reason for using this app. Slow the CPU down while the screen is off, and increase it a bit when the screen is on. I am not totally sure why you adjust it while it is charging. And wold this fi into the screen is off profile.
Ok enough rambling, and thanks for any assistance!
Forget SETCPU. Voltage Control is the way to go. For battery life, I would underclock to 100-800mhz and have -100mv all through the range. For performance, 100-1400 mhz (1.5 & 1.6 ghz are heavily overvolted) and have -100mv from 100-1000 mhz and -75 for 1100-1400. Leave the governers and io schedulers where they are.

Using the voltage control within SetCPU or a voltage control app?
Thanks
Edit: after installing set CPU my phone seems to be running slower than usual. So, I ran a quadrant benchmark and it is coming up with much lower scores than it did before. Is there any way to set it back to the original cpu speeds with out deleting the app?

Tried those settings and my phone froze a few times so I upped the voltage to get it to work for me. This is my first time overclocking a phone. Do any of these settings look strange using voltage control?

Yeah those are kinda high 'performance' settings, not all phones like being overclocked or undervolted much less both lol.. Start with it just overclocked for a day or two and see how it runs, however there's gonna be some serious battery drain obviously. Then move on to undervolting slowly like maybe -25 across the board and leave 1400 alone for another day or two... just experiment like this until you have the right balance of speed, stability and battery life. As a matter of fact I toned mine down a bit afterwards and it worked nice:
Overclocked to 1.2ghz (1200mhz),
took out 600mhz frequency and set 100 to -75, then 200-800 at -50, 1000 and 1200 at -25
or if you want battery life and don't mind sacrificing a little performance you can underclock to 800mhz and set all to maybe -75... its a lot of testing to find what works for your phone, if it reboots freezes or lags too much its either overclocked too much or undervolted too much
edit: I also use the free voltage control app from the market, it lets you set min. and max. clock speeds as well as voltage so thats all I need lol

Roms are not always all inclusive with a kernel and whatnot.. Most are custom apps, themes, and build/framework remakes to operate on top of the stock roms and will use stock radio and kernel to operate unless a custom radio/kernel is flashed. While most radios and apps will work well with different roms, kernels (being basically the 'engine' for the android OS i believe) are dependant on baseband and will not work by switching them around or flashing one over the other. This is the way I understand it to be anyway, I just know kernels are not compatible between 2.2 and 2.3

Makes sense. I'm sure the apps and radio are dependent on the kernel as it is the core. (like an Operating system that provides the platform for applications to work.)
I'm sure the developers thoroughly test these combinations before releasing any ROM, .
However I want to have some fun updating the kernel on the GC GBE 1.9 that I currently have on my charge with couple other kernels out there....
Will see if I create some magic

Are there any setting s to avoid when messing with the voltage control, and if I delete the app does go back to the default settings?

To avoid: IO schedulers, overvolting (only done in Extreme), and going above 1400 mhz, as 1500 & 1600 are HEAVILY overvolted. Toasted processors=bad magic.
However, you can switch the governers from conservative to performance, but its kind of useless.
If you delete the app it will NOT go back to default...I think. The default io scheduler for imoseyon's kernel is deadline, I forgot what PBJ's is. If you switched it and its still working, don't worry about it.

I have installed rooted stock FP1 with voodoo lagfix and the PBJ 5/24 kernel installed... what else should i do to speed this puppy up....
I would recommend the tweaked rom.

I recommend not making a new thread just for this.

What launcher is in tweaked Rom.. I love touch wiz... Which is why im asking... Also what the best overclock app to use.. is it setcpu?

Wow that's a first but yeah tweaked has tw launcher ad default. Also voltage control is free and works fine for oc/uv.

SetCPU works for OC/UV, but I find it much less intuitive than Voltage Control.

Someone liking TouchWiz
100MHz: -100
200MHz: -100
400MHz: -100
800MHz: -75
1000MHz: -50
Those seem to be good starting points for most people...most phone seem to be stable at that. You can continue experimentally reducing it from there. Some processors handle it better than others (mine can go lower than that pretty much across the board but some can't). The worst that happens is that it's unstable and randomly reboots...you aren't going to permanently hurt it by undervolting.
For higher frequencies, it's more down to experimentation. When you get into the overclocking ranges, it gets really individual to the processor.
wow, I thought nobody liked TouchWiz.
My setup:
-Tweaked ROM
-PBJ kernel (NOT using EXT4...it always makes my phone run very sluggishly)
-The SQL cleanup script found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25072-sqlite3-phone-is-snappier-than-ever/ (I really have nothing but anecdotal evidence but I'm overly convinced that this helps)
-Autokiller memory manager app set to the "Strict" preset. imnuts's new kernel (524) makes similar changes to the values that AKM changes, but "Strict" is slightly higher (60/70/80 vice 50/60/70) and I find it to work better for my phone. The next highest setting seems to be working too much to kill things off, which also slows down the device. This seems to be the happy medium for my phone, YMMV.
-Overclocked to 1.2 using Voltage Control. This doesn't seem to effect my regular operations but I do notice a difference with more intense games (which I don't use very often). I can't go higher than 1.2 and my UV settings are more conservative than those listed in this thread.
-ADWex (the paid one) is the smoothest launcher I've used. I kept hearing this for the longest time but my experience with the trial version was the opposite. Turns out, they are totally different. Give it a shot. ADW has some neat features, too.
-Also make sure you go through and debloat as far as you can. For instance, I only use gmail but the stock email app will always run in the background and eat up RAM...so I uninstalled it. Since I don't use things like the TW launcher or the TW calculator (Realcalc is a better, free alternative), they're gone, regardless of whether it makes a difference to my experience. I'm also a FB user and the official FB app will eat RAM in the background regardless of your sync and alert settings. Friendcaster won't, so I use it (disclosure: I only have the app so I can share things like photos. For status updates and browsing I just use the mobile site in the browser). People will argue, especially when the topics of task killers comes up, that Android handles its own memory management great. It largely does, but this phone is very susceptible to bogging down when you get to the upper limits of RAM usage. That's why I believe changing the minfree values in AKM is so important, an improvement that is maximized by getting rid of superfluous RAM eating processes. Obviously, the more crap you have on your homescreen, the more resources it takes to run your homescreen. Do what you're comfortable with.
My phone is running really well for me right now. I hope you can get the same enjoyment out of yours.
Thanks a lot...

BleedsOrangeAndBlue took my recommendation to install sqlite but i actually use different OC/UV settings:
100mhz -200
200mhz -150
400mhz -125
800mhz -100 (i'm underclocked at 800 right now and have no issues besides games)
1000mhz -75
1200mhz -50
also I recommend tweaked2.1 because the included tweaktools script comes with a lot of good kernel tweaks like darkly zip-align and renice which speed up application use
also use an auto cache cleaner with the sqlite cleaner because that lowers lag as well
My setup: 100Mhz -200
200Mhz -100
400Mhz - 75
800Mhz -125
1000Mhz - 50
1200Mhz -50
1300Mhz -25
SetCPU: ondemand, sio, up treshold 97, sampling rate 100000
Profiles: screen off- 100 to 200Mhz at 75
In call - 100 to 1000Mhz at 80
Screen unlocked - 100 to 1300Mhz at 99
This works for me. If I put the 200 or 400Mhz any lower my music player stars skipping. Music player mostly uses the 200 n 400Mhz while video n Netflix uses 800Mhz CPU speeds. Its what I noticed. Also am on Tweeked 2.1 with PBJ 524 n this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684997. On Antutu with this setup my score was 3171 I ran it just b4 I posted this. But my best score was 3404 but I forgot what setup I had for that. Anyway this seems to b fast n smooth so I'll stick wirh it, for a while.

I truly appreciate it, too! It really makes my phone run much smoother and with a widget on my "Utilities" screen for it, I can get back up to speed with one push in less than a minute.
Thanks for the UV settings. I don't underclock, but I do run the conservative governor to stay on lower settings more of the time. I could probably be more aggressive with some of my lower settings, I think I'm going to play around with them now.

This could vary based on your governor settings, too. For instance, if I'm using ondemand, Pandora will use my max clock speed most of the time. If I use conservative, it flickers between 200 and 400.
Just putting that out there so you can further optimize if need-be. I've become a bit of a battery fanatic recently.

Yes that is why I have the sampling rate at 100000. It is my stable setting , but the 80000 also works fine and 60000 I also notice some skips but not as much as with the 40000 setting

It's no longer sluggish. The problem has been solved and it's noticeably faster than non EXT4. You should try it.

do you have a link to the fixed version? I did it with the TonsitPBJ ext4 converter package for tweaked 2.1 and it was awful... not to say that its anyone's fault, this is consistent with every ext4 conversion I've ever done.
I posted a method in rootzwiki http://rootzwiki[dot]com/topic/24729-recommend-conversion-to-ext4/
it is a little tedious but if the method you used did not work well I recommend this method because I had no problems during or after the conversion.
