Hey guys. This may be a really noob question but I just flashed CoreDroid's Rom into my HTC Inc S and it came with an app called Daemon Controller. From all I've gathered, I know that its something that can be used to adjust the phone's speed battery life etc etc and I was wondering if anyone knows the best setting for it. I just want the battery life to be maximised at the same time, my phone's speed to be maximised, at the same time my notifications to come in normally during sleep time.
THANKS IN ADVANCED PEOPLE!

My ROM is virtuous affinity, and I have it set on
Max screen on 1.07ghz
Min screen on 122mhz
(On demand)
Max screen off 384mhz
min screen off 122mhz
(Conservative)
I have also undervolted by -25
My kernel is unity v10
Please note that different settings work differently for different people. These settings are best for me, battery lasts best with this configuration.
Set it as temp to test it, settings will be cleared on reboot. Then set to perm.
Good luck!

I've done numerous tests with and without OC and on different kernels (both normal and custom). So far SetCPU have only given me headaches. Random crashes, unable to wakeup, kernel panics... The list goes on.
According to these tests I've come to the conclusion that SetCPU is very unstable on Galaxy S and should not be considered supported at all.
What's your experience with SetCPU on Galaxy S? Is it conclusive with mine? Do you experience the same problems with Overclock Widget, or is it more stable?
after using setcpu for a few weeks and getting similar problems, i removed it.
There is pretty much no use in it for this phone, they allready scale from 100mhz - max speed (even oc if you have one) automatically

Are you using a task manager? I had the same problem as you until I removed the auto task killer I had previously installed. Now I can set setcpu to 100000 min 1000000 max ondemand for main with a profile of screen off 100000 min 1000000 max conservative.

Yes. I have the same problem on my stock SGS.
Setcpu is not working good on sgs. Try to remove it, and you'll get better battery life.

I don't know of anyone who has tested it on the I9000 (and there may even be alternatives or the same thing floating around the development subforum), but they claim to have a 1.2ghz overclocked kernel here for the I9000. Maybe best to be avoided, but a 100% use at your own risk alternative, especially if you're a bit unsure on any of the translated steps, is available here.

been using it on a vibrant for about 10 days and had my first issue last nite - it froze the phone - had to remove battery to reboot, tried again, froze it again
i thought it was the last two apps i'd installed so i removed them, then there was an update, downloaded and installed, so i did a number of settngs changes, closing setcpu, running benchmark quad, reopening & changing settings etc
about half dozen times
and it's been fine so far -
I had the same issue. I would pull my phone out of my pocket and it wouldn't wake up. I could call my phone and it would ring but my phone would do nothing until I removed the battery and re-booted. This happened numerous times until I uninstalled SETCPU and it stopped doing that so I knew I found the culprit and haven't tried it again since (I need to receive calls as priority 1)
doesnt anyone search anymore i posted this issue over a month ago. setting cpu mode to anything on than conservative can cause freezes as the system doesnt get enough cpu to wake up.. it is even mentioned in set cpu to use conservative.

I have it set to Conservative on my Vibrant, and I'm having the same issues as the OP.
Edit: When I go into SetCPU after pulling the battery and resetting, it shows it's limiting my CPU to 19.2 MHz. Yes, 19.2. Insane.

I killed my task manager service, and it didn't freeze up! I'm going to uninstall the task manager and see if I have any more freezing issues in the future.
Edit: Nope, didn't work. Removing SetCPU.

I have the Vibrant version with T-Mo. After rooting, Titanium, Barnacle and Root Explorer all seem to be working fine.
After a few minutes of installing SetCPU, my phone wouldn't wake up. Rebooted twice, same results.
Removed SetCPU and the phone's working fine again. Maybe the minimum speed should be set at 250 or so?

To begin with, you don't even need SetCPU
SGS phone automatically regulates the speed of the CPU depending on your usage.
most of the time in Stock ROM it hover around 200 Mhz, very few times it uses the max 1000 Mhz
only when there are lots of background apps running
when you runt he CPU at 1000 Mhz it gets hot fast, and it consumes more battery
good thing is it drops back down to 100~200 Mhz as soon as it's done with the heavy tasks
so having the SetCPU installed will defeat the whole purpose of power saving and CPU cycle on demand

I don't even remember the last time where we had a fixed clock on a cpu Allgamer. The point of setcpu is to either downclock or overclock your cpu. You might want to limit your clock to 0.6GHz just to save some juice.
Anyway, after a few hours of head scratching and 2 reboots, I uninstalled and refunded it.
I agree. Setcpu is rather unstable. I have feeling lots of the kernel overclockers have problems but blame the kernel while they should blame setcpu
i have just installed setcpu. it's probably been about a day or so now and i have not experienced any problems?
i have an Australian model (I9000) just flashed to the canadian firmware for the 3br fix.
Is it just generally not recommended to use setcpu on my SGS?
please advise. Thanks

It depends on what you're using it for. If you know what you're doing, it can be a useful tool. If you want to overclock, you'll want setcpu. If you want to underclock (lets say you're out and about, with 40% battery), then you can set the maximum cpu speed lower so that the battery will last longer.
You don't need setcpu if you're simply going to tell it that you want your max speed to be 1ghz, with a min of 100mhz and you want it to be "conservative". Your phone does that by default, and frankly the SGS is pretty good on its own when it comes to battery management.
thanks reuthermonkey, i will keep that in mind.

Menu and rescan the device should restore the normal values. those values are not the ones actually used!
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..

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

Which would be the best O/C program out there ?! I have SetCPU, Daemon but I'm sure there is better in the market...... just need to know the name so I can get it Thanks!
I'm currently 230MIN/1150MAX

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
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 have just updated to Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable on my P990 Optimus 2x (Fido Canadian version).
When I go to the CPU settings I cannot change the min/max frequencies or select a CPU governor.
I have done some research and found kernels like Vork and FauxDS, but they are for 7.1 nightlies so I am not sure if it is a good idea to flash them.
What I am most afraid about is the possibility of getting the black screen of death while my phone sleeps (it happened once already but it stopped after I changed to a different charger and reflashed CM7.2).
The reason why I want to change the settings is that there tends to be scrolling lag (my old HTC Desire Z was faster!) and there is also a bit of lag waking up the phone (lockscreen does not appear instantly when pressing power button).
Does anyone know what is the best kernel I can flash to enable frequency/governor changes in CM7.2 stable? I would prefer not to change the ROM if possible as I am kinda nooby in comparison to the XDA community in general. Thanks for any help.
I suggest you try Etana kernel. It has the things you need. Also use CPU master to set profiles and minimum CPU frequencies. I used something like min freq 352 MHz when asleep (don't worry doesn't drain battery) and I had no lag whatsoever.

Are you referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427646 ?
If so, do I just flash the zip off the sd card using ClockworkMod? And what are the differences between lite and DS?
Thanks.
All right, after reading, I determined I don't need LOC/HOC/DS as I don't intend to raise the max frequency, I just want to raise min frequency.
Installed the Etana kernel via CWM and it works. I can raise minimum frequency, though I still cannot see a governor option! Any idea how to get my governor setting back?
You can use CPU master and set some profiles. It's not exactly the same as governors but it's as close as it gets and it gets the job done pretty well. As far as I remember there were two governors for O2X - powersave and performance. I've always used performance and I can't tell if there's a HUGE difference in battery usage. I guess performance utilizes higher CPU frequencies when the device is asleep and somehow scales faster to even higher frequencies when needed to. But this might be complete crap as I am not too much into how CPUs work...
And please use the THANKS button (right below the user name), it kind of forum etiquette and it keeps people motivated to help others. Thank the Etana developer too.

As for now CPU Master in his profiles let's you choose governor. We have only 2. Power save nd Performance.
