Can someone explain to me exactly what each scaling option does while using setcpu?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
In a nutshell, it's a setting for how and when your CPU will be sped up or down, depending on what it's doing. For example, the conservative scaling, it tends to keep the speeds down more of them while the opposite is true for performance. The others are tweaked, in-between settings. On-demand and interactive are the best in my experience

Whatever you do don't use "power save"
Phone won't wake in that mode.

I just set it as 100-1200 interactive. Then set a profile when the screens off 100-600 conservative.
As long as the profile is set from 200mhz - (200-1200mhz) the phone won't shut off and you won't have to remove the battery I had this issue on my phone....

That's because you had it set on "ondemand" I had the same exact issue for a long time before I figured out that was the problem. It has something to do with the kernel doesn't support it right with setcpu or something. I read it somewhere on this forum. I've had it set at 100 min for the last 3-4 weeks and it's never not turned on (as long as it ISN'T set for ondemand).
I'll bump this thread to ask a question.
Around the time I installed SetCPU, I noticed a HUGE drop in battery life. To be honest, I'm not sure if SetCPU is the problem, or if I changed something else on the phone and that's the source of my problem. Anyone know anything that I could have changed unknowingly that caused my battery life to suck so hard.
Don't use set cpu if you can avoid it. Sre sets you to 1.2 ghz and unhelpful supplies a script if you are comfortable doing that.
Limiting speed with set cpu had little positive influence. As long as the scalling is working the cpu should idle with the screen off any how. The only situation I would change the clock is during an overheat condition but I'm running without set cpu all together.
If I'm interpreting unhelpful right the next kernel will make use of user space in set cpu and allow many new things including under voltage to save battery and the creation of custom clocks not written into the kernel so you aren't bound to his preferences.

Where can you do that at? Is that where you make your own cpu speeds?
Use NSTools in any ICS ROM with Icy Glitch kernel.

hi all
i have installed prime hd 9 with custom kernel i want to exactly know at what min and max CPU frequency should i keep for good high speed performance which is stable i kept some frequency at random and it was not that much speed it slowed my phone and in what governor should i keep
I personally dont recommend doing anything with your CPU because from my experience I didnt see so much difference and speeding up your CPU will make you battery drain faster and you CPU will reach highier temps. For the governor I use the performance one because it is constantly keeping the clocks on the highest set values. It makes the phone work smoother and while changing clocks its slowing the phone down. You can try and look for every governor meaning but I recommend the performance one. To monitor the temps use SetCPU`s widget.

The kexec has pre-overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz, and the old method to adjust the overclock options became invaild.
Is there any way to adjust the options? Like the frequence and voltage, even to overclock the GPU.

You need a kernel (or module) built with these options allowed. Currently you can only drop down the speed of the CPU. Once things are stabilized, I'm sure we will see overclocking, voltage changes, GPU overclock, etc.

You can't. Your cpu is programed stock to be 1.2 GHz but Moto underclocked it for "stock Droid 3" speeds.

What is the best freq for longer battery life and smooth device?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I have the Nexus 4 and in every day use I use have my CPU set from the lowest frequency all the way to the highest frequency and it uses them when necessary. That way when playing a game or using an app or multiple apps I can get best performance from my phone, and then when not doing something that requires a lot performance it simply save the battery by not using very much of the CPU at all. I also find interactive to be the best governor because I don't like how on demand goes all the way up when touching the screen. I like how interactive is easier on the CPU, you will see what I'm talking about if you use the SetCPU app. If you don't have SetCPU, I suggest that you get it, its great! You will also need an app called Trickster so that you can disable something called MPDecision so that your phone cannot go to 1026mhz everytime you touch the screen and you can let the interactive or ondemand governor do its job. In the app SetCPU, there is a profile section where you can create profiles to command your CPU to be at or range from a certain low to high when your phone is doing a certain something, example: you could set the CPU to be at its highest for low as well as high when you open and play Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I currently only have 1 profile, when the screen is off I have the low and high frequencies set to the lowest, that way it cannot go up at all when the screen is off and will conserve battery like crazy. Normally when your phone is in use and you touch the screen your CPU goes way up, but disable MPDecision and use those apps and your phone will run amazing and you will save a lot of battery. Have fun and good luck!
I cant use trickster mod. When i enter it, it says it needs root access. And i already granted it.

Hmmm... That sounds strange. Is your phone unlocked and rooted properly? Do you use any other apps that require root access and do they work?
Yep. When i click on trickster, im less then a sec they kicked me out and say i need root access

Can someone post the values?
I used SetCPU to change them to something different and I don't remember what the stock/original values were.
Any help is appreciated!

Interactive, CFQ, 1958 (max), 300 (min)
These were the settings my phone was on before I installed SetCPU.
Also, I'm guessing the phone uses powersave governor and throttles down freq. when power saving mode is enabled. Don't know settings for that. I'm sure someone knowledgeable will chime in.
