So I have had this for about two days well the first day it got really hot around the camera an topper screen portion so hot holding just was a no an it was just doing normal task no apps installed just browsing so I factory reset it an that helped but not completely
So I then rooted to see if I could change kernel settings well it looks like my cores are almost always running at max speed so I downloaded kernel auditor to change setting an that still always want to go to maximum clock speed so I so I lowered it an it was still just at maximum 90% of the time So I disabled some cores bringing cpu temp down to around 94/96 degrees Fahrenheit is this normal or is it just me
Sorry for scrub questions I only had a s4 before this which was much less complicated
Thanks in advance sorry if I was confusing

Can you post screen shot of kernel auditor's frequency table? both of them..bigLittle
For me it was a circle case widget which was causing it to heat up. I used CPU monitor and found it. Closed that and it is fine since.

I also have problems as above and unresolved
I've been playing with kernel settings for a week now
so far i've noticed something regarding battery life (SOT) and its temperature
If i set big cpu to ondemand and LITTLE to interactive(default) the battery life stays much longer but the phone feel hot..
then if i set big to interactive and LITTLE to ondemand, the phone itself doesn't heat much but the battery life became poor..
and if you noticed, big cpu seldoms reach more than 384mhz..that's most of the time it stays in lowest of it frequency table
Maybe we can experimenting it together and discuss about it here

Didn't see this posted yet in the apps section, there is an app which helps in calibrating your battery. The app is located in the market and is created by an XDA member all credit goes to him. You must be rooted for this app to have an effect, I can vouche for this app as I have used both on the EVO and now on the G2X I have experienced great battery life after using this in conjunction with setcpu.

Out of curiosity, what are people using for the settings on SetCPU (ie max and max). Also, I noticed the "Scaling" option is grayed out on my G2x over my old Nexus One. Does the scaling option require a custom kernel I am guessing? Thanks.

All scaling does is how the CPU scales itself(to a given formula depending on the profile) for example if using a conservative scale the CPU scales itself by 15mhz depending on the task so if your min is 218 it would go up or down by 15 until it reaches the maximum or min. Since no kernals are available yet for our device it will use the default scaling profile built in. my screen off profile is a Max 218 Min 218 with a priority of 100. Regardless of the scaling profile selected I am forcing the CPU to down clock to that set of perimeters
So what I use for SetCPU is
Profile : Screen off
Max 218
Min 218
Priority 100
You dont get lag when unlocking with these settings?

If it fails, it means it doesn't work. Since the change is not permanent (cos set on boot is unchecked), u can play around till u find the best fit.

If I had it on set at boot, that will make it perm in the Rom where it cant be changed or something? I never used SetCPU in the past, so I`m still learning it, and most youtube videos just show how to set things.
Setting it to 245 mhz max (245 mhz is the min clockspeed) on screen off can harm it can it?

I was curious about the same thing, so I did some informal testing a few weeks ago. I ran two 5 minutes tests where I let my phone just sit and do nothing at the home screen, one test with a static wallpaper and one test with a live wallpaper, and I used Battery Widget Monitor to compare the battery drain in millivolts. The live wallpaper drained about 50% more power than the static. Of course this doesn't mean your overall battery life will be 50% less, since most of the time the typical user is running an app where the background isn't even visible. But during the times you are on an icon screen/desktop, or swiping between desktops, the drain of a live wallpaper is about 50% higher. I'm sure this number will vary somewhat depending on the complexity of the live wallpaper.
I recently started running a 3rd party live wallpaper (made by Kittehface, I think) and haven't noticed much difference in battery life from when I was using a static wallpaper. The wallpaper should shut down when the screen is off.
I run live wallpaper and don't notice a huge impact on battery performance.
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.

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).
Hi XDA,
I've got a problem whilst installing apps (obviously). I download an app from Play Store, it downloads, and whilst it says 'installing' I get a huge lag on my phone. It sometimes even freezes for a few seconds. When it finishes installing it goes back to normal like nothing happened. Its like whenever I install an app, I summon some kind of demon laggatron in my phone. Does anyone else experience this and how can I fix it?
Thanks <3

Well, it happens sometimes with some huge apps when installing them. Lags yes, but no freezes, at least for me.
As far as I know nothing to do..., I would say that it's a known "problem".
Nope, the laggatron strikes every time, no matter the size of the app
I have Undervolted to 0.96GHz, does that change the game at all? I'm assuming that it takes more CPU power when installing apps, so my phone is no match for the laggatron

You underclock to 960 Mhz, you mean max CPU freq
Maybe that explains all..., raise your max CPU freq a bit.
Yep. Tbh I wanna keep it, I only get problems with installing app lag, everything else is fine. Get 6hrs+ SOT, so defo worth the sacrifice.

Honestly you will have the same battery life if you raise your max CPU freq to something like 1,5 Ghz at least (or 1,7 ghz) if you want to keep a certain amount of underclocking (maybe placebo effect...), seems counter-productive to me what you want to achieve...
Some users have the same SOT at stock CPU freqs then...
It depends of your usage too and other settings (brightness, synchro and so on).
But it's up to you, I would say try for a few days and see..., I'm sure you will have less lags with a higher CPU freq, at this point you have the reverse effect to me, all the CPU tasks take more time to be finished.

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.

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%
