Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the performance governor main thing is to lock up the CPU at the highest speed at all times?
Using latest ICS build by paradroid and latest ics build by harsh.
I also notice why do our phones don't have these other governors like on demand,lag free etc. We only have 2 the other one with being powersave, just asking because this battery goes down quick!

We don't have CPU performance governers because the tegra chip set isn't made like that, it has its own architecture that is made with its own governor for instance. Its made to work without anything like those. Something like that, hope this helps a little.

Yup pretty much what he said.
Oh course your battery is dying quickly, you're on ICS.

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

If I'm going to overclock my phone on cm7 what would be the best speed or should I just leave it and how do I freeze my blot wear
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ive been using hellfirephoenix rom which is an offshoot of cm7 and i can overclock to 1.5 ghz easy, which is the max safe setting id say for everyday use. You also have to have a kernal which supports 1.5 ghz though such as faux123's kernals.
In order to freeze stuff i use AntTek which you can get on the market its very easy to use. Otherwise you can buy the full version of titanium backup i believe.
Use morfic's kernels. There is no max safe overclock, it's up to what your phone can handle. I am sitting comfortably at 1.6
I read you can use pimp my CPU to overclock but I can't find the app

Does overclocking have any downside to it? Like more battery drain or something?

less stability is the main issue if you OC too high. if you set the right profiles in setcpu you can actually get much better battery life.

Voltage adjustment is not really necessary, unless you are increasing voltages for overclocking.

Uhh, no. I suggest you read up on the findings/observations documented by multiple kernel developers and bedalus's kernel testing posted here. UV has no effect on power consumption.

Well I tested it on my friends nexus s 4g and my epic 4g and with a lot of UVing. Lemme further explain.
Okay when you UV it just uses less amount of voltage on that frequency so in essence you save battery because not as much voltage is being used. Now however if you UV by a lot like -100mV and higher the phone will lagg a bit. If you overvolt your pushing more voltage to the phone which is more power being used.
I just tested my phone freqs. Used were 100,200,400,600,800,1000 And all were UVed by -100mV and playing games and using lower freqs it will lagg. When I didn't UV at all it never lagged.
Not to mention BTW I was @ 88% before and it only took me 2 mins to post this and now I'm at 86% with no UV at all. And last post before this I took me same time with UVed I went from 95% to 95% lol.

Well I can say every phone is a tad bit diff. But for whatever reason no matter who's phone when I UV if the phone handles it it. It saves me battery I want you to test this and see.
Run whatever scheduler and say performance run 100 MHz by -200mV like and 200 Mhz by -150mV and so forth. Play GtA 3 and watch when UVed it laggs and when Not it laggs stillbut not as bad. I mean hell even 1.5GHz no UV I still lagg haha

I have a Skyrocket phone, running Sky ICS... and I've been trying to find out why cpu1 is off most of the time.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpuidle/state0/time = 534677824
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpuidle/state1/time = 0
When I echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
And then cat the file back, the setting is zero.
How do I set it online? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
I flashed the a different kernel with Sky-ics and I use CPU tuner it shows I'm running both cpu's. I believe the ics update was to enable both cpu's anyway but then again I'm new to this and still in the process of learning haha give cpu tuner a shot hope any of this was helpful.

CPU...
Most of the time you probably don't want the other CPU running. 1 CPU is more than enough for most apps and tasks. I know Instigators Kernel basically shuts down one of the CPU's unless you need it. I am sure if you updated to the kernel in seans thread it also mods the CPU Governor. ICS by default has both CPU's going all the time.
So having 1 of the CPU's off is one of the benefits of modding. It saves precious battery. If you get a program such as CPU Spy, you should hover around 192 mhz when using the phone for light tasks. 1200+ is more graphic intense. If you start doing video and games, CPU #2 kicks in to help...
To change this setting on most roms, goto system settings>Performance>Processor and change the Governor type to one that suits your needs. I use Instigators Kernel with the Badass Script and I get AWESOME battery life and sit on 192 mhz most of the time and notice NO DIFFERENCE in the speed of the phone...
Hope that helps... if so, give me a Thanks...
If you punch CPU 1 in its kiniggits it will fire right up

so far... the best tweak was the disabling the sleepers... i did do the Internet tweaks... i got some of the best speed test results yet since I had the phone... but the Internet ping was short... so it may be because I was extremely close to a server...and my 4G at home is ok but not a clean 4g...so that test is not reliable... i would say it's a user preference

Best CPU Governor Tweaks?
Just curious to know what CPU Governor Tweaks are working best for people? Also, should the hardware acceleration and force gpu rendering options both be kept on together at all times for best results?

I use Tweaked 3.1 as my rom and it has always been best using ondemand for the governor... some people have used smartass when over clocking (tegrak is the only one so far reported to actually work to over clock our stock kernel) but this governor setting is not as good for battery consumption...so far I have only tested on demand(which I think is in dslices build of tweaked) some of these settings are new that I have not even heard of till this pimp my rom came out... One that comes to mind is the brazillion... the hardware excelleration I turned on but I left the force gpu settings off(I never tried it) because in the description it said it increased ram usage and the driod charge as one of its main complaints is lack of ram... these tweaks are so easy you can play and remove them as needed... that's what makes them great... it's you phone and you can make it like you like it...and if something really makes you happy... share it... please!... lol
