SetCPU supports Tegra 2 (V2.2.0)

SetCPU master coolbho3000 has updated his app to include support for the Tegra 2. It's available at all the familiar places.
2.2.0 - Added an "In Call" profile. Improved the Set on Boot safemode function by including a flashable zip that toggles SetCPU's safemode. Press menu on the main tab for more details. Added autodetect support for all Tegra 2 fakeShmoo kernels (ie. G2x). Added a "Voltage" tab for undervolting the CPU on fakeShmoo kernels, some custom Galaxy S kernels, and some Nexus S kernels. This is a full-fledged interface for undervolting these devices, and includes backing up and restoring and a Set on Boot checkbox. Improved the way SetCPU initially requests root. Various miscellaneous bugfixes.

Undervolting in SetCPU, now that's fantastic. By far the best purchase I've made on the market.

Also has a cool feature that allows you to extract a zip file to your sdcard in case you've set it to 1.5/1.5 and your phone freaks out. You can just boot into recovery, flash the zip and it resets setcpu.

I must say, SetCPU 2.20 is quite amazing... worth every penny

Note to ppl who upgraded from existing setcpu...re-detect your cpu speeds from the main screen. Otherwise, voltage tab will force close on you.

What would you set "in-call" to?

I have 400/400 for screen off. I set in call to slightly higher at 400/500.
I'll need to test it tomorrow during calls and see if the screen wakes up quicker after a call ends.

For benching, I set it at 1500/1500 at 1300mV with no profile set for maximum power, and I'm getting much lower benchmarks in Smartbench 2011, than I was with pimpmycpu. Why do you think that would be?
pimpmycpu: 4400-4700
setcpu: 3700-4000

Wow very nice.

yes nice news ! Im happy to see old school

Great news. Just re-downloaded this and uninstalled pimp my cpu.

I'm so pissed off by this. I legit bought cpu master at like noon on the 20th. Then I come home from work too setcpu being updated. dammit I want my two dollars back, I'm broke enough, and that could be bus money lol.

I did the same, but unfroze SETCPU and FROZE pimpmycpu.
In the transition, the battery got drained quite a bit over a few minutes, and heated up pretty fast when initially recharging. I had rebooted in between, but there may still have been some residual conflicts between the apps.
It froze at one point, but after a battery pull, it settled down. Overnight battery drain (with screen-off profile set pretty low) was only 4% over 8 hours. This is on EB 1.0.2 and faux stock kernel. Quadrent "only" around 4000, but everything works and this has apparently improved battery life.
A note on pimpmycpu - I thought scaling to min had stuck, but apparently not. Battery consumption was 12-15 % overnight compared to the above.

Thanks OP! I severely dislike pimpmycpu...

So am I the only one that is getting significantly lower smartbench 2011 results with this updated setcpu as opposed to pimpmycpu?

I have not seen that, although compared to Quadrent, I had not seen the very high scores that some had. I doubt SETCPU would impact you OC'd performance at max setting (although pimp had scheduler settings and SETCPU does not).

[Q] OC - noob - should I go for it? Risks? Worth it?

Hi.
I a speed freak! If there is something I hate, is lag.
I therefore thought of using a better kernel for my G2x.
As I understand, some kernels can OC the cpu. Wow. That's cool, first of all.
Second - any conclusions about this? Is it safe? Does it really make a difference (i don't game on my G2x)?
THANKS!

Since you obviously don't know how to use the search function, I'll just tell you that it is perfectly safe to install a kernel and constantly run it at 1.5 Gh.
Go buy setcpu from the market to set your processor speed at Max, and leave it there. All the time. No matter what.

Haha, good answer..Or you can go and download CPU master for free. =)... But honestly overclocking is not good

There's no real speed difference when overclocking install a custom kernel but don't overclocking it its a waste of battery
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

risks? yes. it kills your battery faster, and battery life will drop. by battery life, i mean the amount of recharge/discharge cycles it normally will allow will drop.
pros? makes your phone much faster. and no its not a placebo. if you bump up your kernel from 1ghz to 1.5ghz, thats obviously a speed increase. how can it not be faster.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

But also the risk at a constant 1.5 of overheating and burn out of the processor.

if you're a noob and don't know exactly what OC is, don't do that.
it can kill your battery and processor much faster, make you're phone unstable and accidentally overheat and burn out your processor, if you have a constant OC
processor life is worth the wait imo

I oc mine tops 1.2 and its as fast as it needs to be for my needs. I also bump up the minimal speed to about 500-800 cuz our g2x's should never be running that slow even when idle/screen off imo.

I set my cpu to run at minimum when the temp reaches a certain level. It's never actually happened though...my phone runs real cool at 1.4ghz

What are you overclocked to?

I guess you can consider this thread part survey and part for my knowledge so I know how far I can push this phone. I am at 1728MHz max with the interactive governor and cfq scheduler. Not sure if I'm going to do any undervolting, I can get through the day with about 40% remaining, and I have profiles set up for low battery and such. I am running CM10 with the 747 (I think that's what its called..) kernel and can push it to 2.1GHz. Is it stable at that high of a clockspeed? I can assume it turns your pretty Galaxy S3 into a convenient portable stove
By the way, sorry if this is the wrong section.

It really depends on your phone, I had mine at 2100 and it was stable. However it can very I had,a, Droid charge that ran the 1440 no problem, had it replaced and the new one could go above 1300 without hot boots. Some phones just hold up better

Stock. I've had it clocked to 1.9. But can't tell a difference with real day to day function except for worse battery drain and phone hotter.
Sent from a SYNERGIZED GalaxySIII

I have run the KT747 AOSP kernel at 2.1 ghz for a day or more and had no noticeable increase in heat, or decrease in battery life. (lulzactive or smartass v2 with either cfq or sio scheduler, no voltage changes in KT tweaker) I also saw very little or no gain in real world performance increase, and the benchmarking apps seemed to back that up. Typically run mine at 1.809 currently. Every phone cpu is different in terms of top speed, and voltage settings. Best thing to do, is to test them and see what works best for you. These 2 links, courtesy of the Ktoonez thread, provide some great info on kernel governor and scheduler settings. Given the number of options in KT Tweaker, these helped me a great deal in terms of making changes.

I've tried 1998MHz and as you said, it didn't yield much. I think I screwed something up, because now oc settings refuse to stick (resets itself to 1512) and short/long benches are not as great.

Are you on CleanKernel by chance?

Horribly slow and drains battery

I am opening this thread because I am going crazy with my tablet.
I have N8010. I installed Hyperdrive and then Zeus kernel.
I have horrible lag when opening apps. I mean the empty white/black/whatever scree while the app loads.
And the battery life is horrible as well.
I have tried to play with the parameters, but to no avail.
Do you have any tips or better - any good kernel parameters that work best?

On n8000 i had such an effect when using some custom governors i.e. ondemand. Maybe you should reconsider your cpu settings? In my opinion pegasusq gives the best effect, as it is designed for quadcores, other governors may not support the algorithm for hotplugging every core separately and the cores frequency are linked or some cores are disabled. Seems the default governor choice is the most common error of kernel devs.
Also, you should try to clear /cache.

Or go back to stock, which is the most functional, stable and performant rom. I get 10 hours easily.

Voltage control (free app):

Or
Set CPU (not free app) with governor on demand or interactive from min 400 to max 1400/1600 mhz if OC'd should fix that lag. Start up the cpu controlling app of your [email protected] boot up if your want that performance speed and make sure to set your screen brightness just halfway on the bar. That way your battery can't run out too fast due to your screen being bright. Also if you have too many applications running try uninstalling one's you really don't need and freezing some others you aren't [email protected] the moment. Some of our favorite apps with the nicest looking UI uses the most memory to run which in turn can slow down any android phone/tablet.

I would guess you have an app or some such process that is using up resources. I run RLS2 and it's smooth and I easily get two days on a battery with moderate usage.
I highly recommend "better battery stats" to help identify what's going on. The CPU tab and processes tab will show what's going on at any time. For example, I watched ESPN on the tablet yesterday, then put it down after closing the app. When I came back a couple hours later, I found that the screen was on and the tablet very warm. Better battery stats showed that the ESPN app was still running in the background.

[Q] Safe to overclock?

Would it be safe to overclock to 2.8GHz with the CPU Governor as "intelliactive" and leave it there for normal use?
ROM: HD Revolution 5.5
Kernel: Faux

Probably.

The real question is why not? LOL. Honestly though I just like finding new things to do with my phone and coming from a locked Galaxy S4 I have to say I'm enjoying the amount of things I can do with this device that I couldn't on the S4. The extra 600MHz was because I was hoping it would drop any chances of lag with my favorite apps & Xposed which always seems to cause a delay or two for me. On the other hand I like squeezing what I can out of it. Same with my Desktop too, get maximum stable over clock and stick with it. ;D. If there's some downsides such as life shortage feel free to mention it though because I'd rather know early on than when it's too late. Sorta the point of this thread

I've got my i5 2500k overclocked to 4.3 GHz now stock voltage . As for life shortage its hard to say. I would monitor temps on stock vs over clocked and compare. As long as it doesn't get considerably warmer which for mobile would be 10° more or less you should be fine

Well with normal use it gets like 40-55 C (CPU) and during an Antutu benchmark just at the beginning it hit 75C sooo not very happy with that.... especially considering that's in the highs for a lot of desktop processors, can't even imagine how bad that must be for a phone processor LOL. It was @2.803 MHz with voltage of "1130" & ondemand governor. Not so sure as to what "1130" is based on though as I'm new to mobile over clocking, guess I'll figure it out tomorrow!
Edit: Forgot to include that just a few minutes ago I flashed a new kernel due to some random lag, old one never hit above 50 even on tests (with intelliactive). Also using ondemand/interactive now. Gonna re check the differences on those two governors tomorrow and decide which one I wanna go with! : D
