Set CPU question - Nook Color General

I downloaded Set CPU and set the min/max to 600/800 as suggested. Then i realized that people are setting this in a new profile. Should i be doing that? If so, what profile setting do i use?

The setting on the main screen is what it will default to when no profiles are active. Screen off is a good profile to slow the CPU down when it's in sleep mode (to save battery). There really is no "should" - just what you want it to do.
I personally like the main setting at 600/800/ondemand, with a screen off profile of 300/600/ondemand.

How did you get your sleep profile to 200? The min on mine won't go below 300.

SetCPU settings for battery life

I have it set on the defaults. 245-998. and governor on demand. does this make sense? abit noobish sorry. running enomther

Also, I hope all these settings are reversible.. ie if I uninstall the program it goes back to what it was before?
The default settings is what heard works best. I don't use setup because it feels like I get worse battery life with it. I feel my phone gets great battery life without the program. Yes if you uninstall and reboot you are back to the settings before you installed the program.
That's not the part that saves battery, you need to enable profiles and down clock the cpu when it is asleep.
Which profiles do we enable? (that's the same basic setup I'm using too)
anyone?

I'm sure someone will answer. I just downloaded set CPU to play with so once I find something I'll post.
you can enable the sleep/standby profile (setting the max to 245 and min as 245 as well); you can also set up the charging profile, failsafe profile, and when the power is below certain level
EDIT: the very basic setting to save some battery would be to enable the Standby/Sleep profile (set both max/min to 245)
Ok. Looking at it it seems very simple.enable profiles. Edit the sleep profile and set tour max to whatever you like. Seems straightforward to me, this is the first time I've looked or messed with it.
Oops. Should've refreshed before posting.
Ok. I'm using Enomther 1.8.1. And in spare parts there is a setting to set max and min cpu frequency, i left it as defualt which is the same default in SetCPU min max 245/998
So I went into profiles and enables sleep profile and set min max 245/245 but when I come out.. it says my defualt is now max min 384/245
Why did the defualt change im using only sleep profile and main profile
EDIT: makes sense the Max would fluctuate since I set it on demand.. Of course I wouldnt expect the CPU to be at 998 all the time . Sleep set at 245/245
I set all profiles to be 'on demand' and then sleep is 245/245, awake is 245/1113 and charging is 245/652 (stop it getting too hot)
imo sleep on 245/245 isn't the best. cos basic functions like clock won't be updated. it would update when wake causing even more CPU draw. my sleep is set at 325 max

exactly. Oh by the way, I just saw your msg, I use both juicedefender and setcpu.

Thanks for the help man, hopefully this'll help me out a bit with my battery life.
Those profiles are all 'on demand' though right?

I agree!
But using auto task killer will speed up a bit your phone.
If you want you phone even better, use supercharger script.

To my mind, it changes nothing or nearly nothing i use advanced task killer and im using it seldom, after charging only, or when i want to play some demanding game...
But, sticking to the topic, i would advice changing processor governor, what were you using? Are you using custom lockscreen like go launcher or widget locker?

I'm using zeus and it has the default ginger bread lockscreen and I'm on smartass2
Its quite weird, because smartass2 is rather aggressive governor. However, this long-time waiting (5-15sec) comes from lowering CPU frequency to really low, deep sleep numbers.
If its a real problem for you, you can easily increase lowest CPU freq and see if it changes anything. And second thing which comes to my mind, check in build.prop line "pm.sleep_mode=1". It causes device to get into deep sleep.
But, of course these changes will affect battery life... quite strongly :/

[Q] Lowering Brightness

So I have a rooted ATT atrix.
The screen brightness is awesome for some things but way too bright for others.
My question: Is there some way to lower the brightness settings even further than the lowest stock brightness?
I know that on certain custom roms you can go into the sys files using ES Explorer and change values there, but I'm not an expert in any sense,
I would like to keep the automatic brightness adjustment intact, just lower the range of brightness
If I navigate to /sys/class/backlight/lcd-backlight/ then I can edit the file "brightness" to value of 1 which lowers the brightness significantly. The default minimum value seems to be 21.
When I do edit this value, then allow the screen to auto adjust brightness, the value goes back to 21.
I don't know where to set the range for the auto brightness.
I think lowering the range will save my eyes at night and also potentially save some serious battery

[Q] CPU and GPU profiles app/tweak??

I think I'm in the right forum for this question. I have a htc one myself. Sorry if the language is a bit bad. i'm studying english!
Hi, I came to think of CPU and GPU profiles for The ONE. If there would be a kind of app or tweak that can change the "governor" and "frequencies" of apps you select.
It would help with battery savings. Someone who knows?
If you're rooted, then SetCPU can be used to set CPU profiles. You can set what settings, governers and schedulers your kernel will change to for each and every app that launches if you want

Tasker is a wholly different thing as it can control almost everything about the phone not just the CPU profiles. Since you're only needing CPU profiles, SetCPU has a much cleaner UI and easier to set profiles for games you want performance on

[Q] Removal of Active Notifications, custom DPI

Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone has tried (sucessfully or not) to remove Active notifications all together from the Moto X? I know I know... "It's the best part of the phone" and I agree.
But, I'd prefer a smaller DPI setting... 280 looks fantastic and provides more usability. Plus, there is an app in the market called Dynamic Notifications that works just as well and includes music controls when you pick up the phone.
I've narrowed down to the active notification settings / apk and it locking the phone up after receiving a call. Just un-ticking active notifications in settings still causes a lock. Perhaps it's deeper than just the .apk?
Well, that was easy. I disabled Active Notifications in the app manager and works perfectly. Don't know why I didn't try this before.
Using Dynamic Notifications brings back the functionality too!

Dynamic Notifications lights up when you pick up the phone?
Yup

Dynamic Notifications probably doesn't use the companion core though, so will be less battery efficient.

You're better off leaving active notifications turned on and just changing their setting back to 320 using Xposed/app settings. That's exactly what I did when I was running using 280 in the build.prop and it worked great.
How did you guys change dpi? What's default on the X?
340

As someone mentioned, you can use XPosed. Alternately, find the line ro.sf.lcd_density=340 (or something along that line) in your build.prop file and change it to the desired number, save and reboot.

Wrong--it's 320. XHDPI is 320.
Is it 320? My mistake.
Sorry, didn't see the question for how you change the DPI...
1) have to be root
2) Reboot into recovery mode (power off. Hold vol. down + pwr for 5 sec. select recovery)
3) Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/, long press build.prop and select open with editor.
The problem with changing the DPI for Active Display is that the notifications are no longer centered. It shifts to the left. Perhaps if you're just running it at 280, you may not notice it as much but my DPI is 245. I ended up using Xposed App Settings and changing the DPI for Active Display back to 320 and Active Display is back to the center with everything else on the phone nice and small

Are you changing the DPI for all other apps? Don't you find it tiresome each time you install a new app? Also, I was doing this previously, and I noticed when you open gmail, or calendar, there is a slight delay where the app in question starts as the default 320 then pops to the set DPI causing a brief graphical glitch.
I know, small, but irritating none the less.
I don't do it for each app. I just change the build.prop to set it to 245 for all apps and just change particular apps that look weird to 320 using Xposed App Settings. I haven't noticed the graphical glitch but I'll definitely look out for it in the future

Oh wow, so you're saying that if I change the Active Display apk back to 320, everything behaves normally?

Indeed! :laugh:
I would love to be able to do this! But I am having some issues. I set my build.prop dpi to 240 (using ROM Toolbox), and in the Xposed/App Setting I set both the Active Display and Active Display System to 320 and the rest of the options defaulted. I then saved and rebooted.
Now my Active Notifications freezes my phone and I have to restart it.
(I reset my overall dpi to 320, everything works great just looks huge)
Do I need to change any other settings in App Settings for this to work properly? or any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have Moto X Dev. Running 4.4 if that makes any difference
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------
I think I figured it out! I didn't install the Xposed/App Settings correctly. Still a little new to Xposed.
Fixed it and so far so good.
Thanks for the info!
im not sure what i am doing wrong, but this is certainly not working for me.
build.prop is set to 250 but active notifcations is set to 320 in app settings. i see active display mentioned, not sure what that is.
any advice?
im on 4.2, it appears that active display is 4.4 or higher. this fix isnt working for me.

It could be different for 4.2, I'm not sure. If you go into Xposed, then Modules, is App Settings Checked? That is what I forgot to do. You can change all the settings you want in App Settings but if it's not checked in Xposed it doesnt matter.

it is checked because i use app settings to allow the launcher to rotate, and it rotates.
EDIT: i reset my dpi to 320 and am changing system apps dpi individually, one of them caused active notifications to break, narrowing it down
EDIT AGAIN: it appears that on 4.2 active notifications relies on the setting for ANDROID SYSTEM. Lots of other apps rely on android system for their resolution also. things started to break down at this point and i couldn't have everything i wanted all at once. bummer.
