Hey guys. Just wondering which governor works the best for you guys. Want to find the perfect compromise between battery life and no lag while scrolling.
i find that snartassv2 works best for me
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Lagfree using Abyss 2.6 does what it says, very smooth desktop scrolling in ADW EX, even at stock 1.4GHz.
Battery life seems ok, and heat is about the same as On Demand.
For SetCPU
- Use Ondemand, that will give performance when CPU need it
and In profile add power saver (200 min 500 max), when screen off. if compromise any SW then max 800
What is the necessity to set this profile if the phone goes into deep sleep? Many times we don't need apps working in the background...
For instance I disabled all the background activities of apps requesting data (autosync...) and I am always in deep sleep with screen off...
My 2 cents.
Cheers.
I see guys. Been bouncing back and forth between intellidemand, smartass v2 and lagfree. Lagfree seems to consume more batteries though

Sorry to bring this thread back to life but I was wondering what everyone thought the optimal settings for CPU speeds would be.
Galaxy Note GT-7000
CheckROM
Abyss Kernel
On Demand governer
I have them set right now for min 200 and max 1500. I had the set at min 50 and max 1600 but the min 50 made the phone a little laggy.
Another question, what should I set the temp profile to temp wise?
Thanks in advance
right now im running ondemand....min 200 max 1664
abyss kerenl... stock rom....
seems fine to me....

I was thinking about installing SetCPU but I have heard stories of it not working very well on the Captivate. Does anyone use this, and if so what kind of battery life improvement are you seeing? Post config settings too please!
Its working just fine. I have a live background so my battery usage isnt very great so long as the screen is on. I had some trouble with the system being slow to respond every time I turned the screen back on when I had "screen off" profile set to max 200 and min 100. then it dawned on me that it would always just underclock to 100 I set it to max 200 and min 200 when the screen is off and also started using launcher pro and it is no longer sluggish at all.
This has saved me a gratuitous amount of battery life when the phone is idle.
Default profile
Max 1Ghz
Min 800Mhz
scaling Conservative
Charging/full profile
Same as default but scales on performance
Battery <50%
Max 800Mhz
Min 400Mhz
scaling Ondemand
screen off
Max 200
Min 200
Scale powersave

Thanks for these, I was looking for a some decent settings. Mine were close to that to start, but I had no idea what I was doing, haha
I had some stability problems with it that I am now fairly certain are related to adjusting the polling frequency in advanced settings. After disabling setting advanced settings on boot, and a reboot, it has not caused the phone to hang once. I am also fairly sure that the phone boots with the conservative governor enabled and min/max frequencies set to 100MHz and 1GHz, even without SetCPU - so the main benefit here is profiles to force lower clocks with screen off, or during overheat or low battery.
CPU throttles itself. Any effects of setCPU is placebo effect
Err if you set the clocks yourself, you can produce a difference depending on what it's catered towards. I'm sure if I set the max clock to 200 (assuming the app works) for all situations there will be a difference.
Does the stock ROM have a perflock like the EVO that we need to disable?
Also, does the stock ROM automatically underclock at times, or???
I've now verified after clearing user data, the stock firmware already sets the conservative governor and allows it the full range of frequencies supported by the CPU. Only benefit from SetCPU should be profiles - reduce max clock when hot or low battery, that sort of thing.

I was going to make a screen off profile of 200mhz, to save battery. Should I bother doing this?
Edit: Nevermind, I'm just going to uninstall it. It's locked up my phone twice already
Default Profile: 800 MHz
Profiles:
Temp > 46 C -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
Battery < 40 -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
Screen Off -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
This now gives my phone life of about 2 days with moderate use (1 hour calls, 1 hour browsing and another 30-45 mins of using apps that need screen on like games, etc)

One thing u got to keep in mind, CPU scales up when woken from low speeds (like when u set for 200 n this takes a second or two). After some R&D i realized 400 MHz when sleeping is optimal with hardly noticeable lag.

well, i have tried playing heavy games like asphalt 5, dungeon hunter, assasin's creed... these all games seemed to work with no lag even at 400 MHz when my battery was less than 40. Most apps I have or used or saw were very comfortable even at 400 MHz. But with multiple apps open, sometimes there was lag, so i set the max at 800 MHz, instead of 1 GHz.
Also, I set my connection to EDGE from 3G. This helped reduce phone from getting heated up with long calls.
I tried using this app myself but uninstalled it after a week. While I'm sure there was some underlying cause, it made my phone never wake up from sleep mode when it turned off.
Honestly thou, I know several android phone owners with s lot of phones That didn't see any real change in their battery life as s result. And based on my experiences, I'd say stay away from it.
Just my 2 cents thou

Which is the best setting to keep your setcpu for day to day use? Userspace? Performance? Conservative? On demand? Ineractive?
On demand probably.
Anybody else any suggestions
I use interactive... and screen off interactive..
Sent using SkyRadier 3.2 RC3 Incredible ROM with King Kernel #5 and the 2.15 Radio.
I kept stock myself, Min 245 Max 998 I believe, but here's a thread for this( n1 setcpu)

I have my set CPU to on demand.
But you should also enable profiles...
Such as "screen off" set to 245 for max and min that way when you lock the screen your saving the most power. Also for my own sake I set it for "battery<20% to be around 600 max and of course 245 min, just in case I'm low on power and need to conserve for some phone calls.
Hi there,
I'd like to overclock my IncS to 1,3 Ghz...
But I don't know the right settings.
Can you please tell me the right setting for best performance (e.g. oc to 1,3ghz) and best battery life?
thanks
does anybody know?
Set max to your desired, min to the lowest it will go and scaling to smartass.
I'm OCd to over 1.4 and no issues... UCd to 192 with smartassv2 governor
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
the best performance I have experienced in my INC is when I put oc / uv beater to the following:
wake gov: ondemand
wake mins: 245000
wake max: 1228800
Sleep gov: Conservative
my sleep: 245000
Sleep max: 691200
when I take a test in antutu nenchmark for I the following result.
score: 2729
If I clocked lower or higher, the result is lower
Overclocking depends entirely on your chip.
You should use whatever governor suits your needs.
I personally use ondemandx which speeds up on demand (as the name implies), conservative tries to keep the frequency as low as possible, interactive uses max frequency if min isn't enough, smartass is an improvement of interactive that keeps performance high while improving battery life (meaning there's little reason to use interactive).
You can find it in more detail here.
So basically, smartass if you want performance, conservative if you want battery life, ondemand if you want something in between. In reality though, I don't think you'll see much difference between them and I've seen no difference in idle power draws, so if you don't use your phone all that much, they won't be that different.
Once you've picked a governor, you should set min speed to 122000 (no reason to use any higher) and max to whatever you want. Your phone will probably crash or suffer from bad performance if you go over 1.5 GHz, but it varies a lot. Might happen even earlier.
Once you've found your desired performance level, you should start tweaking your voltages. You can do that under the UV profile. In there, you can adjust voltages at different speeds and the phone will automatically use them at whatever speed it's at. You should undervolt to increase battery life, so start by reducing all by 25 or 50 and then temp apply. Use it like that for a couple of hours and if it doesn't freeze, you're probably stable. You can either stop here or spend many hours tweaking it further, but that'll take many hours to get right.
This is my setting

In my opinion, and I'm sure many others', Virtuous daemon is the best by far.
It comes standard in a lot of roms, and using the OC/UV beater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207546
it would have the best performance. I've set mine similar to yours and with this method, you can set the phone to underclock when battery reaches a low level
Hello, I tried searching but didn't find a thread about this. Sorry if there is one that I didn't find. I'm playing around with SetCPU and trying to figure out optimal settings. I know its a matter of preference but I wanted to see what everyones opinion is and what they have theirs set as. I have:
CheckROM Revo noteHD v5
Abyss Kernel
On Demand governor set
Max 1500MHz
Min 200MHz
I want a happy medium between battery life and performance.
I set a profile for screen off to min 200 and max 500.
I've been reading mixed reviews as to whether or not lower speeds actually increase battery life. I originally had the min at 50 but increased it to 200.
Another question is what would be a good temperature to set the temp profile to? Not sure when the phone begins to get too hot.
Thanks in advance
I used FM kernel with ondemand with min of 500Mhz and max of 1400Mhz with 2nd core always enabled, didnt notice that much of a battery loss.
go for rocket rom v22 with abbys note 4.2 kernel
set cpu min 50 max 800
on demand (if u want both cores active)
abbysnote (if u want single core running and 2nd to be used only if required otherwise 2nd would be off)
i got normal usage batt backup of 3 days least

Using tricksterMOD, you can see that governors like interactive and ondemand have their own settings. I have been playing around with these settings, and I am still not finished with what I like yet. However you can use this post as a guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36743252&postcount=3113
With Interactive, you can set your go_highspeed_load to 806 or 768MHz. I have set my min to be 245MHz, max 1200MHz but highspeed load is 806MHz. This results in a kind of even split between the times that 245, 806 and 1200MHz are used. With ondemand or another governor, it generally spikes up to 1200MHz (your max freq) a lot, rather than scaling between the lower freqs. This results in more battery usage because you are staying at a higher freq for longer than needed. Performance is generally the same with interactive and ondemand if configured right.
What do these mean? Basically, with my device now when I touch the screen, it will ramp up to 806MHz. If the process is more than just moving something on the screen and more processing power is needed, it will automatically go to 1200MHz, and when its done and I am still touching the screen, it will go back down to 806MHz. When all I am doing is browsing xda or something, when I scroll it ramps up to 806MHz and when I leave it to read something, it will go down to 245MHz. Then obviously when its sleeping it goes into deep sleep (hopefully)
My battery life suckss.

You can't edit the governor settings with the daemon controller app. That's why we use the trickster mod app to edit things
By governor settings I don't mean switching governors, I mean the actual settings of it.
That stuff should disable itself but its best to remove them to avoid conflicts
