[Q] cm7 and setcpu? //kernel?

So I read setcpu is not necessary with cm7 since it's already implemented with the rom. I'm just wondering why some people still use setcpu with it, are there any benefits?
I'm running latest version of cm7 with stock kernel.
*I'm also wondering what kernels you all use with cm7?

SetCPU has way more features than CM7's built-in CPU Governor.
With SetCPU, you're able to set custom CPU profiles to lower CPU Usage In-Call, when the screen is off, or when the battery hits a certain percentage... etc.
You're also able to control undervoltage in SetCPU (If you're using a custom kernel)

Thank you, so I can run them both simultaneously or is it possible to close the built in one?

I don't think it's possible to remove the CM7 Governor, but you can just use SetCPU with no problems at all.

Are you using CM7 as well? What kernel are you running it with?

Just disable the 'set on boot' setting in the CM7 settings and enable 'set on boot' in setCPU

I realize you didn't ask me, but for reference, I'm running CM7 with faux's 0.4.2 kernel.

Thank you, how's faux's kernel? is it faster than the stock and how's the battery life?

I'm running Nightly build 154 with Faux 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver...i get performance and great battery life. I use SETCpu and I've been OC'd @ 1.4 for about 3hrs now and my battery has only gone down 2% with mild texting and no overheating. My battery's temp has been constant at around 88-90 degrees.
If you're looking for the right Kernel...Faux's 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver is the way to go.

I wanted to use that but doesn't DS have the weird battery fluctuation? How is that? Is it manageable?

It was weird at first...but i all i did was re-flash the kernel and fix permissions...and that solved the problem for me.

What kind of permissions? So you don't have any weird battery readings at all anymore?

Fix permissions in CWM. Nothing weird...atleast nothing that i know of.

So technically all you did was reflash it? I just flashed the kernel and the battery is jumping from 41 to 44 to 47. Can you please tell me your exact steps :3

Wipe cache wipe dalvik flash kernel then go to advanced and fix permissions...enjoy

Aw man I really wanted it to work but I tried your method and it just jump from 59 - 61

can someone post a link to the faux's OC kernel the CM one...the link in the original thread is dead...

Best kernel?

I need a new kernel because I believe Matr1x causes occasional reboots to my phone so what are you guys opinion on the best rom?

bedalus created a great thread/spreadsheet for us exploring that question https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw
i personally use the trinity kernel.

I don't get random reboots unless I'm overclocking with 1460, then it resets the over clock to normal. However when I boot my phone it doesn't always work so I usually have to take out my battery and boot again. But I've had that problem since the last ROM I used (codename 1.20 a.k.a Neapolitan flavors ICS)
Nexus S - CyberGR Hybrid ICS (5), Matrix Kernel (15)

Up voltages by 25mv and that will fix your reboot problem.

Hey guys I'm using on my Nexus S(i9023) - CyberGR Hybrid ICS (5), Matrix Kernel (15),
min freq 200mhz, max freq 800mhz, I/o scheduler deadline, governor lulzactive , deep idle on, and I've the same issues of 309041291a, I flash this rom whit clean install , and I've random reboots 1or 2 a days, and however when I boot my phone it doesn't always work so I usually have to take out my battery and boot again. And when work hard with nexus I've a battery drain? Somethings wrong in my settings?

sounds like you need to try a different rom or kernel

[Q] Issue: Screen don't want to go sleep

Hi everyone,
I have weird issue, screen don't want to go into sleep mode.
I tried to change settings: 15s, 30s, 45s. Still the same.
After reboot it work correctly but only few hours.
I don't want flash my rom again becouse I've set everything after yesterday flash. :crying:
My configuration:
Android Revolution HD 6.7.2
CPU OC 1782 MHz
GPU - 320 MHz
Kernel SebastianFM 1.5.2
Installed extensions:
Adreno Drivers 2.18
ics_small_89-fronts
(6.7.x_XE)battery_fix(norecent,eqs2,4gicons)
Ultra smooth Rosie
JellyBean Animations
Any idea what should I do, guys ?

You likely have a application that's preventing your device from sleeping. Check permissions on your applications and you will find the culprit. Best wishes.also when installing apps look at what the developers say in certain apps it will clearly state PREVENT Device from sleeping. Hope this helps.

You can use "Battery use" to see which app is using your battery. Try killing the apps that are running, until you find which is causing it.

I've formated SD (long format) and flashed rom again, .
I try to use clean rom few hours and check if the issue is still.
Just install DualCore-rc8
BTW. Do u thing OC can do this problem ?
My phone worked stable on maximum CPU frequency - 1832 MHz and 320 MHz GPU

I don't think OC can cause this problem but then I think 1832Mhz is way too high and may cause instability to your phone, try to tune it down. In fact there won't be a significant performance improvement even if you OC it so high. Not worth frying your phone's CPU for that insignificant gain.

It's a application like I said that's preventing your device from sleeping! Find that app and your issue will be resolved.

I work now on clean rom with just OC apps. All day everything was OK.
Tomorrow I try to install "DarkForest Tweaks 3.33 Base RC 3.0.1" again and I will see then becouse I think it could couse a problem.
Thanks mates :good:

If only you had mentioned you had installed that in the OP...
Or better still, read the last 2-3 pages of my thread, its all there.
I think its my modded messages.apk and I posted a stock unmodded one (actually when I say stock, that is a lie because it is the apk from my ROM and as such has gone through 3-4 apk optimization scripts) in the last 1-2 pages in the thread which seems to have fixed this

[Q] Cyanogenmod Rom issues

Hello everyone!,
I have facing alot issues on AOSP based roms(such as CM10.1/2 etc).Alot slow downs,lags,Instability,freezes,glitch etc.Why is it caused ? or it just a Rom problem ?
PS: My previous device Galaxy gio runs CM10/.1 flawlessly.

I need some more information about this. Did you change CPU settings? Have you made a full wipe before flashing? because for me it works great.

Here's some information.
CPU : 1728MHZ with badass governor
Min.CPU : 382mhz
Tweaks : None!
Always Wipe before installation of Roms.

Usually 1728Mhz works, but it could cause instability. Try lowering it to 1566Mhz and see what happens. you can also try another governor.
Did you also change the voltage?

^1. I am not sure but I think read CM 10.1/2 come undervolted (as they're light roms) and 1782 might be unstable (it has worked for me).

Exactly what I said. Let's wait for OP to post his result.

1728mhz frequeny works flawlessly on ViperS 3.1.2/1.6.3 without any instability issues.I think the problem is that that i wipe before installation,therefore i need to install the rom first and then do a wipe,Am i right?

Nope, you should wipe before.
CPU frequency could work on one kernel and not on the other. For example, my siter's former phone, LG Optimus One could overclock to 728Mhz with most kernels. Then came a kernel that could overclock further and be stable at around 800Mhz. Each kernel has a different max frequency, although it's listed, it might not be stable. As Far_Sight said, the kernel might be undervolted, that might mean that overvolting it may allow for the frequency, but I don't suggest it. Performance is great even on 1188Mhz (I put it that way for myself to save battery).

[Q] Having some trouble overclocking gpu

Hi, I am running slimbean 4.3.1 and the blackhawk kernel on my p5113. I have successfully oc'd the CPU (its in the settings so it was easy). However, I don't see where I can set the GPU to a certain frequency. I have done a lot of searching, but without results.
Could someone please help me out with this? Thanks!

brother you can only overclock cpu not gpu
only what you can do regarding gpu is that you can check force gpu rendering settings in developer options

I disagree with you partially, you can oc gpu too. You can do it by changing manually which i did last time months ago because i have been using TricksterMOD, but it seems like after 2.1.5(?) update to kernel you can't do it anymore with it, so i use older version of next kernel what op is using.
EDIT: Actually i solved the problems and now it works with latest version using TricksterMOD!
Btw im on Cm 10.2 as you can see.
