I'm trying too. But I'm not sure SetCPU is working properly on Franco kernel...

Install Franco Kernel Updater or Trickster Mod from Play guys, SetCpu doesn`t work properly atm.

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...
Ever since i shifted to ICS roms i can't get BLN to work with any ROM or kernel combination. I have used Glados, Franco, SG, Matrix, Speedy with CodeAndroid, AOSP+, Brainmasters ICS v6, AOKP. But it has never worked. It used to work properly on gingerbread. I have flashed rom by doing complete wipes.
You must use NSTool (https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.cyann.nstools ) to activate BLN

I've used ICUP Kernel before and NStools and it worked good. Try re-flashing kernel or updating to newer version?

i tried all versions and all possible combinations. i am right now in the middle of a complete wipe and install. also BLD and BLN work together right?

Seemed to, I had it dim the keys after 500 ms (I don't really care for them and don't need to see them to use them), and BLN for notifications. I used NStools to configure both of these options, but that was several NStools updates ago. At the time I was using Nexus Beam with ICUP speedy 3, but I've since moved on to CM9.
***Edit***
I did notice depending on the configuration that certain timing settings would not work properly, dunno why. Could have just been the way I had it set up.

NStools had BLD set to 500ms, BLN enabled
Didn't really change much else, no custom overclock settings or anything like that.
Matr1x also worked well for me on various ROMs I sampled
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361477
Since I moved to CM9 I am just using the CM kernel, it doesn't have all the configurable options that the others did, at least not yet.
I don't wanna mess up my tablet testing things out so does anyone know what the best profile is? I don't play games but I do look at YouTube often
Also does anyone know how to remove the blue tile affect on the home screen? I'm using Nova
Thanks
Need more info. Are you stock? If not, do you run a custom kernel?
I used to use kickassv2 governor for overclocking at 1504MHz using KAT kernel, which is pretty awesome. But you need an overclockable kernel.

I have eos and kat.
Check my sig for the overclock link. Then use kickassv2 (or is it smartassv2? I forget...) from the governors list.

I was wondering what do you mean in your sig about the speakers? Does EOS not support both speakers?

lol yeah, I have the infamous "left speaker issue". but the new balance option in KAT app helps a little, just need MORE boost!
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.

thanks for this i am gonna try this and tell if it works
Just want to mess around, all I know of is ROM Toolbox that can modify the CPU/Kernel but VERY LITTLE tweaking, and Trickster as well, but the design is kind of outdated and sometimes settings don't stick at all.... So I ask you guys, what are some good apps to tweak the Kernel/CPU? Thanks!
**Please do not say KT Kernel/KTweaker!**
Rom toolbox pro, trickster and kernel tuner are the top 3 imo

ROM Toolbox is VERY limited, Trickster doesn't save my changes sometimes, and I guess I'll check out Kernel Tuner (never heard of it).. anything else you can think of/recommend?
None that I can think of atm. I have the same issues with trickster but it seems to be the best option imo. I've been running stock kernels so I don't use one right now
