Has anyone used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep dual core sleeper and have gotten good results?
Haven't used it but we have a script somewhere here in the dev section that does the same thing. Just search it and run it threw a terminal emulator.

Yeah, but dont use it if u plan on undervolting as well, or run profiles with setcpu, it causes conflicts.

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

Yes you can but I couldn't find a link for that on xda. Id say setCpu is still better. Its also free for xda members

You must be blind then, it's on XDA, and it's also free for XDA members. I don't like the UI of it though.
Not blind found it they want you to down load it from the market so its not free

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.

Yes. But combined with undervolting I get better than stock battery life running at 1.6.

ive been screwing with chainfire 3d trying to get it running better, ive gotten it to be on the verge of playable but it could be better, im gonna tinker with it some more and see what i can come up with. thanks for the info though.

Off you are on a bml ROM (haven't cheeked out bare bonne so i don't know) you can flash lightning zap then adjust the governor settings... There are instructions on how to do so linked in the OP... That should smooth out fps refresh rate...

Im on the oc kernel so yeah i got that bad boy cranked up to 1400, it was my understanding that only ondemandx and smartass worked in regards to scaling on this particular kernel, but hey i'll try just about anything, if that makes a difference i will let you know.

Do you suppose id have better luck on a mtd rom in general? But ive installed lightning zap plenty of times, so i will give it a go and if i get something real smooth and playable i will report back how that came about. i appreciate all your work thanks.

Each phone is different, tweaks and such that improves your phone performance may not help the next phone. That is also why the game might be unplayable on your device. Also most newer roms have the various tweaks built in. So installing them twice can end up harming your performance.
I was in the same boat as OP. I used Gremlin Remover, and started from scratch, and now I'm getting decent performance from GTA. Still lags some. But not as bad as used to. Definately playable.
It works just fine for my wife.

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

mostly interactive or ondemand + 2048bit row scheduler or fiops.. with those I experienced the best UX.
for other settings:
e.g. multicore power saving, so not so much cores are used permanently, underclockig (damn be nexus 5 has so much power, u never need it!) maybe overclocking the gpu (ingress is a beast!) also some hotplug controlling, for loadthreshold an so on!
you can google for mbqs CPU guide,

True, you never asked which kernel was best. But questions regarding the kernel settings can be found in the relevant threads, creating a separate thread is pointless, really. The best way to find out is follow the thread, and experiment with the tuneables yourself.
