I have a thunderbolt recently rooted, uv/oc beater will not work . I read in another post it has to do with ziggy kernel so I have setcpu and I was wondering what would be the best setting so I don't burn my phone up but I would like to see some speed. Thank you for your time.

Try using the cell for sometime without SETCPU
Later try using it with default SETCPU options like , powersaver, ondemand, etc.
If you find any difference, its upto you to decide.
But you will see the difference over time
Just use on demand governor and set the Max to 122400 MHz.

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

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

I use max 1113 min 245 scaling on demand...screen off min 245 max 350

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.
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 have been looking for a couple of days, and I can't seem to find my answer anywhere. Sorry if this question has already been asked. Does the Tiamat Kernel come overclock already, or do you need to use an app like SetCPU?
SetCPU is needed
Thank Brenardo.
I really want to root so i can get the USB host, and SD card. I just didn't want the overclock. I was told that Tiamat was overclock from the get go.

even without an OC app running my CPU sometimes runs up to 1504mhz. I've tried every kernel since the first tiamat one. I have a Canadian xoom rooted with one click. I'm using tiamat 1.4.1 and the issue isn't fixed. I've read many others experiencing the same issue. I've tried using setcpu and Droid OC to limit it to 1ghz but it still hits 1504. There both uninstalled now but I'm still having spikes. Just my 2 cents not trying to hyjack your thread. But if anyone has any input as to whats happening I'd appreciate it.
Also my battery life is significantly shorter since rooting. From about 9 hours to 4 now.
Any suggestions ?

How are you seeing its over with no app? I'm not calling you a liar, just trying to get all the facts. In all test we have done, even with the setcpu oc to 1.5/1.5, we actually see the cpu running at 1 ghz after a wakeup.

I'm watching the temp+CPU widget to monitor what's happening. Are you suggesting its giving inaccurate readings? Setcpu at 1ghz would still show random spikes to 1504mhz. I don't have any OC tools installed right now but my widget still shows it hitting 1504 especially under load. I was thinking of returning to stock and rooting manually but it not a huge problem just strange. I was hoping the new kernel would fix it but its still happening. Is there anything I can do besides start from scratch?

Yea setcpu is not 100% yet. Does your widget show both cpus? What we were testing was the second CPU. After you xoom goes to sleep, the second CPU is never set again by setcpu (known bug). So lets say you are running 1.0/1.5. After you xoom goes to sleep you will wake up with cpu 0 at a max of 1.5, but cpu 1 will have a max of 1.0. The info i gave earlier was said wrong. I was actually looking at the wrong line, so you may in fact be correct on the 1.5ghz random jump . Gonna stop talking now, as we are hyjacking someone else's thread .
In theory, you should not need overclocking software, as the max is set at 1ghz on both cpus. But as said above by Bandit504, this may NOT be the case .
Thanks bwcorvus and Bandit504 . So I guess to call it is safe, it would be good idea to use SetCPU, or Droid Overclock and have the maximum set to 1 ghz, to keep the proc from hitting the 1.5 ghz speed. I just hate to ruin the hardware with the overclock, and have to drop another $600 for another xoom.

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!
So,
We've all got our Xooms, what are you experiences with each kernel, which one do you find the best? (and with what governors?)
Secondly, What are your UV values? Whats the best you've got when trying to undervolt?
Ive just got my Xoom (32gb, wifi, uk) and im just on the brink of experimenting with the undervolting, i searched but couldn't find a relevent topic.
So please, do post values, kernels and your experiences
ah okay, I thought this would be quite an important issue,
I've managed to get the xoom to handle 1.6 undervolting each state by 100mv
I am however having trouble getting both cores to stabilse at 1.6. Using os monitor I can see that only one core sticks, the other goes down to 300 mhz,.

I've seen some general advice not to UV for anything over 1ghz speeds as well, but it may not hurt to try if you want and adjust as needed for stability.
I'm running on a -75mv at 1.5Ghz faux kernel 0.4.7..
Perfectly stable, benchmarked AnTuTu, Quadrant, and all those other good stuff.
I have not tried -100mv yet, I doubt it will be stable.
Every phone is different, but I run mine at -20 up to 1 G, and -10 for the rest.
Mine I cant undervolt shoot I have to keep my minimum frequency at 500 to be stable, course I can also run at 1.5 all day (I keep it at 1.2).
Well I guess I can't say I cant UV since I use pimp my cpu and it only gives you options in 25 increments, maybe I would be stable at like -10. But coming from my galaxy s 4g where I could UV over -150 and still be stable, that just doesnt even sound worth doing.
Edit: I just thought about it and maybe the reason I cant UV (more) is because I'm using fauxs pre UV/OC kernel, so I dont even know what stock voltage is. But comparing to my sgs4g at stock voltage I am running considerably lower voltages on the g2x.
The faux thread says it's pre uv at -50 across the board.
