Best MHZ for longer Battery Life?

Guys, im using Overcome Icarus rom. What is the best mhz for longer battery life? Is it 800mhz? What about tye uv?

200mhz, your tab will have heaps of battery life!

Are you dead serious? 200mhz?

800Mhz with ondemand governor, UVed to ~-100mV seemed perfect balance for me; long battery life and fine performance.
I must remind that there are other (and better) ways to improve battery life; ie. calibrating with battery status; turning off unnecessary services and connections (3g, gps and most importantly wifi) etc.

ps: below 800Mhz the tab becomes a little unresponsive for my tastes; also; I've weird "feeling" that 600Mhz is not meant to be used as a constnt freq. for that.
ps2: there are some UV issues for that release's kernel; go for Koxudaxi 0.13 or Dip's for the time being.

Bad Battery Life, how to make it better?

Sorry for like, my 3rd thread in a few days.
Basically, I use my INC S for a lot of stuff, Music etc. and it barely gets me through the day.
How can I use apps like Set CPU, Oc/uv beater and such to gain better battery life, and what are the Exact settings for them?
Also, is there anything else that can help with battery?

Well the first thing you could do would be to go to cm7 and flash the tiamat kernel for better battery life.

I'd say find out what's eating the battery...I'm using my Inc S frequently (at least e-mails and browsing every hour) and I get at least 2 days out of 1 charge.
Try disabling any live wallpapers, any widgets, any applications running in the background (like yahoo messenger, facebook, msn, etc) and don't use any task killer/juice defender...
When checking the battery usage, I see the phone going in deep sleep regularly (which is essential for good battery life) and I'm loosing about 6-7% over the night, with BT, Wifi always on and email with push.
Ohh and I'm on the latest stock Optus Australia Rom, Hboot 1.16.000.

I think it's just general use. Using the browser a bit, I don't have much things updating in the background and such.
@incrediblealex I got a HTC For sense, I don't want to go to CM7 without sense
I'll go cynaogeon when ICS Come's out probably

Do this and also flash Nikhils trinity sensationXL ROM, found in the development section. Just brought out an updated version and its sense 3.5 so, if u like sense which I do, u won't look back. I have posted my exact settings using ov/uv beater somewhere in this thread. Smootharse and smartarse are great governors. Increased my battery no end!

There is no Smoothass setting when I install it.
Is there no simple settings I can use? or what are the exact settings for it?

U using ov/uv beater2 v1.7 yes? To be honest settings are personal preference, but what works for me is wake min 230400 wake max 1228800, sleep min 230400 sleep max 691200. Google it to find out more about CPU settings.

I'm using the official HTC Incredible 2 extended battery and back, 2150mAh, in my S. I think it's only available in the US, it's on the HTC site. There are a few sites I found that sell it and ship internationally but I got it from eBay, seller best_deal_today. Took about a week to deliver to the UK.

On demand means the processor will clock to whatever speed within the set parameters it needs to run smoothly. It will always try to run as low as possible while not compromising speed. This is generally the best option and there's little to no reason to change it. Unless you want to save as much battery as possible of course, then you could put it to energysaving. You really don't want maxperformance as that will drain your battery and give little to no advantage over ondemand
The other is the clockspeed of the CPU and should generally be left alone. Overclocking it too much can permanently damage your hardware. There is no cooling system, so increase it very conservatively. You should leave it at stock, unless things are being slow, but don't put it too high. The higher you put it, the faster it will process yes, but also the more energy it uses and therefore heat it creates. Too much exposure to heat will mean game over. Overclocking is also likely to lower the lifespan of your device.
Hope that helps

1.do not oc your device more than 800 mhz and use ondemand governor,
2 .use the inbuilt option to choose the frequency because app like set cpu use 4~5 mb of your ram (setting> cm setting> cpu setting)
3. try using adw ex launcher it uses 11 mb ram only avoide go launcher
4. create a swap partition of 512 mb and set swapiness to 80%
5. use only default android keyboard (ics android keyboard is better)
6. use task killer to kill ongoing useless task time to time
7. do not use much widget at the same time

I remember mebitek or yagya or some other famous dude said that moving cache to sd card slows your device down..?
I set JIT off, and VM heap to 24. Also oc to 710 MHz, phone works like a charm. But i don't play games, i just want the phone to be snappy. I think the vm heap might cause fc's for bigger applications, at least playstore always force closes when i had VM heap at 16.. but otherwise the phone was really responsive with 16.
Battery is also good with those settings. Please correct me if i'm somehow mistaken!

jit on should be better

Just leave min cpu freq to 245, yes.
Also, if your kernel has Smartassv2 or Lilgv2 available, use those instead, they're better for Mini than stock Ondemand.

(FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE IN CM9):-
go to settings
1)developer option-mark Gpu rendering ,windows animation &transitin animation as 0.5,mark kill app back button.
2)performance-use 16 bit,processor lilg as governor at max710(u don't see much flickers)
3)use apex launcher as default .(push it in to ur system-apps)

help me please

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.

Governors and scheduler of your choice

Hi there.
I was wondering which governors and IO scheduler combinations are you using, or what would recomend for others . Im talking about ICS based roms. In order to try and help ppl i think that the combinations are suppose to be in this order:
1. Best battery life
2. Casual/daily (no much gaming, few calls, bit of data and wifi use)
3. Performance for gaming and such but still keep in mind about battery.
I found out that hellmanor kernel set with lionheart and cfq, gives me the best battery.
Didn't try anything else coz i need a ever lasting battery life.
Thanks for your participation

I have IZS with kernel 0.4. I don't have many governors, but I'm using Lionheart with ROW as IO Scheduler.

Governors and scheduler
Hello this is my first post and i wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am from Spain and don`t speak english very well. It is a pleasure to participate in this wonderful forum.
I have Jelly Bean Mackay 2.7.2 and now i´m using Lionheart with Row as IO Scheduler. Before I was using Interactive with Row but the battery life was very little.
Greetings.

I'm use to the stock firmware with IZS kernel.
Governors - interactive,
scheduler - row. Very good balance.

Although it is a different device, here are some benchmarks:
CPU Governors and I/O Schedulers
Summary of the Results
SmartassV2 won the governor benchmarks, and also performed well in the battery drain benchmarks.
The best I/O scheduler to combine with this is noop.

You can't rely on names. You must also remember that while most kernels have same governors, they are tuned in a different way.
So let's say interactive on one kernel will perform different with another kernel. Best way is to know how it was tuned and the user experience.
Like 2 same cars, same engine but with different tuning. Know how it was tuned then drive it.
Here's a reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

Two days with Lionheart/row and battery consumption is very high. I'm going to try again with interactive/row to see if it improves the consumption of the battery the Mackay Rom (ver. 2.7.2).
Regards

I have V30C stock rom with Adagio 0.1a kernel,
I'm using intellidemand governors with vr as IO Scheduler. Battery life was very good.

I'm running the Marvel 11 (N00by) kernel and I've had good luck with setting the governor to "Performance" and the scheduler to "cfq".
Can't say that this is absolutely the best, but my battery life literally doubled from 9-22 hours to 22-48 hours. I get plenty of "Deep Sleep" mode.
I read an interesting tidbit on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26329039
I thought the most relevant thing concerning the Performance governor was:
"there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle. Race-to-idle is the process by which a phone completes a given task, such as syncing email, and returns the CPU to the extremely efficient low-power state."

I tried the last 3 days with performance and cfq, not the best, but it seems better than others, i guess there is something in that.
sent from my smart toaster

Currently on Mackay 2.7.6 and running the default interactive gov. with ROW I/O scheduler. Installed this ROM less than 24 hours ago. With moderate to heavy use with wifi on and off, battery is now at 63%.
Will have to try this for a week or so with regular charging cycles before I can draw any conclusions.
As someone else mentioned, the governors and schedulers for different kernels and ROM's probably can't be directly compared. However, it is interesting to compare to other people who are running the same ROMs and kernels and see what results they found.

Mi favourites are smartassv2 , ondemandx and sio and vr
