I am trying to maximize battery life using tasker.
what should the frequency and governor be while screen is off? and what about the exist task?
why I can only control first and 4th cores only?

Hey, if I'm using SetCPU on the NS4G with the latest stable Netarchy BFS and a smartass governor and I want to save battery, do I need to have a 'screen off' profile and underclock the CPU a bit? I notice that it slows down waking the phone up, which is a minor nuisance and if I can avoid it because the governor will keep it slow already when not in use, then why not?
Using the "smartass" governor and profiles is not a good idea. The idea of using that governor is that you don't need profiles.
Download Proton Voltage from the market and use the suggested voltages within that app and make it boot everytime on start. It will help you conserve battery.
I wonder which freq can save more battery and not slow
Mine:
Wake up
max:1512
min:168
Wake Governor - interactive
Sleep:
max:540
min:168
Sleep Governor - conseractive
Kernel UNITY V7
And here is the freq settings recommended by CdTDroiD:
Recommended Daemon Settings:
Wake Min 384000
Wake Max 1296000
Wake Governor - Ondemand
Sleep Min 276000
Sleep Max 384000
Sleep Governor - Conservative
Guys,please post your settings here and discuss what is the best freq settings
Mine:
Wake up
max:1512
min:168
Wake Governor - ondemand
Sleep:
max:384
min:168
Sleep Governor - conseractive

I'd lower your sleep. No need to sleep at 500 mhz.
I have the Sensation and the Revolution HD rom installed. The rom came with the CPU upped to 384000/1512000/ondemand; 192000/384000/ondemand but I'd like to take it back down to defaults. I'm a little worried that its running too high/hot. The phone yesterday got really really warm and wouldn't turn on until I pulled the battery and restarted it. So to be on the safe side, I'd like to just put it back to defaults and then remove the Daemon Controller. My Google searches for "Daemon HTC Sensation" have come up empty handed. Any help would be appreciate! Thanks in advance.
Sleep:
All lowest setting
Wake-
Min: 1.4Ghz
Max: 1.78Ghz
*Subscribing*
Just put wake to whatever you want and sleep.to lowest settings. I change them on the fly depending on if I play games or not. Lower them when your not doing anything that needs high cpu usage
I use the stock settings that Mike has in the latest ARHD and performance is seems ok along with battery life.

same for me even tough its on the inc s.
I am using the Clemsyn Kernel now, but have never done any overclocking before.
What is the effect on battery life if I went to around 1.4ish?
What is the effect on the lifetime usage of my unit if I overclock?
After I download SetCpu, what settings do I use? Do I have to change anything in voltage?
I read something where people sometimes underclock when the screen is turned off. How can I do this?
Thanks for any help. I am a noob when it comes to overclocking.

Start off by setting your main profile to 1.4GHz and tick set on boot. And theres your overclock... I think interactive gov. is the most useful, you can try others if you want.
If you would like to limit the speed when screen off, add a profile under profiles select screen off and set your wanted frequency when screen off.

+1 This is exactly what I've done
If you set the max speed to 1.4 GHz and set the governor to performance it will drain the battery faster than if you had it set to the others. You'll most likely have already upgraded the TF by the time it dies due to overclocking. It does shorten the life, not dramatically though. You can set up underclocking in profiles.
I am new and apologize if this question is answered elsewhere.
I have read that the hotplug governor included in other kernels does not work correctly when paired with a screen off profile set in a cpu control app such as setcpu. I understand that the interactivex governor baked into leankernel 1.10 stable also includes a hot plug when the screen is off. Does anyone know if screen off profiles within setcpu also interfere with this functionality? Or, alternatively, what is the best way to check the status of a cpu hot plug when the screen is off?

I dont think interactivex disables a core but just caps the freq to the lowest on screen off. If you want to disable a core on screen off you can run cpu sleeper. If you wanna check if a core goes offline you can dump a logcat and see if a core is being disabled.

if you use the shootout and want to see if itz working properly the app cpuspy should tell you
I have the Pure-Z kernel, which has the option for the powersave CPU governor (which basically locks the CPU at the lowest clock rate except when touching the screen due to input boost).
I used Tasker to automatically set the big cores to powersave whenever battery saver is enabled in the hopes that throttling the big cores would save more power.
The question is: Does it actually save power? Or does it waste energy due to EAS not realizing that the CPU is throttled and still trying to send threads to that core set?
The LITTLE cores are still at their default sched governor.
