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

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...

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).
Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.

Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.
Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions
Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.

I'm using AOSP+ ICS ROM with the latest Matr1x kernel. Whenever I try to OC to 1460 the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery, so I'm forced to run at a maximum of 1300MHz.
Also, on a related matter, is it good practice to use SetCPU with various profiles (battery<, temp>, screenoff, charging) for various frequencies? Or should I just use AOSP+ tweaks to chose a min and max frequency and let it be?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these.

If you are using deep idle you shouldn't underclock since it causes a race-to-idle condition. In other words your battery will drain faster. If you don't use deep idle, feel free to underclock when the screen is off or whatever you want.

Just an update, Using CNA 1.4.0 and Matr1x v17, I am stable oc'ed to 1460.
this is what I am running
1)800/1460
2)gov =Ondemand
3)Scheduler =Noop
4)all voltages to +30 (used the cna rom's voltage tweaker)
I tried ShadowGun: the Leftover.. and It was flying. Of course, make sure that have enough battery or that you have a charger ready. But finally it works, try this and let me know
I can run it for 10-20 min of usage then get a freeze. I never raised the voltages before though. It seems like its working for other people. And the actual developer of Matrix Kernel is telling you to ....
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 25)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy 7)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC (105)
It still amazes me how so many people that ask about overclocking have no frigging idea at all how cpus/gpus in general are binned etc.
I have a question. Why do you guys overclock that much? It might be snappy but battery life is just bad and it just doesn't worth it in my opinion.

Personally, I do it because I can. Seriously... I'm a geek, I love gadgets and tech and I like to tinker.
On the subject at hand, I'm still unable to OC to 1460 (ARM voltages +30, INT voltages +25) but at 1300 it runs fine, no issues whatsoever.
i can run 1460 stable all day. bigxie/matrix. just did +30 to all the voltages above 1000. deadline and lulzactive..
If you are a geek you would know about something as simple as binning chips. Do what a tech geek would do...look it up. Same thing the op should have done with his ?. Hell mathkid has a answer to his ? In the op of his kernel thread. Which is the kernel he is running

I tried to reply to the main thread in the development thread for SynergyROM, but as I do not have the 10 posts required, I figured I'd put it here. If this is against the rules, please let me know and remove this.
Apparently the busybox install on 1.4 is a little botched, and as such, when you install LeanKernel 12.2, it doesn't run the scripts it needs to in order to run it's magic.
All you need to do to get it to work again is fix the install of busybox on your phone. You can download busybox from the Play store and install it to your phone, and after that, installing the kernel should be relatively easy.
I've been running 12.2 on my phone for the better part of today at work and have had no issues with it at all.
I'd attach a link as proof, but apparently I can't do that either.
This is what I did too and it's working wonders.

Now I know that imo 12.2 will work
long as the busybox is loaded first.
due to the issues with 12.2 loop booting.
Now I can load 1.4 will let you know how it goes.

The battery saver from the script sets the max frequency on the cpus to 1134000. This can be changed in the script as well. I run the batter saver but change the max frequency to 1350000 for both cores. I do not believe the kernel has underclocking abilities currently, but I may be wrong. Definitely snappier with the kernel than without. The combination of the two is excellent.

You may have accidentally flashed the v12 of the kernel. On the thread on rootzwiki look under changelog and download v12.2 it should fix the LED issue.
Want to post in the synergy thread but now enough post counts -_-
Anyone can think of a compelling reason to not jump for synergy 1.4 with the lean kernel 12.2 and wait for synergy 1.5 instead? Eschelon made it sound like it would drop soon and I'm just trying to gauge from the comments on the synergy thread if there are major problems.....main things that bother me are battery life degradation claims and 4G speed variances.
Bonus: A tad off topic, but I was wondering if anyone running the synergy roms replaced their touchwiz apps with aosp apps? Reason I ask is because I cannot live without the ICS email client and prefer the messaging client as well.
Thanks for the heads up from everyone confirming the busybox issue with 1.4 to be compatible with 12.2 lean kernel.

If you want to play around with Google Now then go for 1.4. 1.5 will not require a wipe according to eschelon. I've found the battery life on 1.4 to be close to par with 1.3. Maybe a little more battery hungry, but not much.

Specifically something that doesn't run all CPU cores at max speed. If in recovery too long, that could lead to hardware damage.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've never heard if any troubles with phones using full speed during recovery. In that case you shouldn't play heavy games (or even simple games), watch movies, stream video and so on. Don't worry about this, the weak parts of a phone are battery, screen, buttons, orts, not the use of a recovery. This is cosmetic without any proven effect, like UV for preserving battery and so on. Even using it ten minutes every day won't cause any damage.

Not really. CPUs are built to be able to withstand this. Damage comes from excess heat and higher clock. I.e over volt.
Alright, thanks everyone.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just in case anyone doesn't know this, CPU load / utilisation and CPU clock speed are not synonymous. A CPU can be clocking at 2 GHz or whatever but only be under 5% load. Sure, governors will usually ramp the CPU clock up under high loads. But if you think about the performance governor in Android for example, it sets the CPU at max frequency all the time, but the load will not always be 100% in fact it will hardly ever be 100%
Also if you look at a laptop, it will be clocking high, most of the time maybe not always max, but often not far off
Most android governors will get you to max clock long before 100% some even at 50%
