Hi !
i have a LB and so, i have only a stock kernel. I would like to use Setcpu and profile to save my phone, can use it ? can i undervolt this ?
Thanks !

No, you need a custom kernel for UV/OC/UC so setcpu or other similar apps are of no use to you.

Agreed, except you will be able to profile using stock governors and I/o schedulers if you are rooted, you will also be able to set a lower max or higher min process speed if you should choose. I have not used setCpu yet although I have it installed, annoyingly it keeps requesting su even tho I'm not using it :/

True, you can set stock governers, but when it comes setting cpu speeds you will only be able to set stock speeds. Since the stock speeds are all aready availabe you will only be able to increase the lowest speed and decrease the max speed which is not what he wants to do, and IMHO no something to bother doing anyway.
Indeed, and thats what I said
However I would disagree that it's pointless - you could (for example) set profiles for when battery >40% max cpu = 1G - this would slightly increase remaining battery life - you can also set temperature based profiles and even profiles for specific apps.
But in truth, most of these are rather redundant given that the T already has battery saver/thermal throttling and decent enough processor to cope with heavy load - still, will be very useful once we get a few more custom kernels to play with (eagerly awaits the arrival of DOOOOOOM!!!)

I tried SetCPU when I was rooted on 303 firmware.
It worked ok for about half a day and then locked in a CPU mode and hammered my battery until the phone went flat. The phone was pretty hot when I noticed and picked it up.
Might be a one-off but worth keeping look out for if you are using with a LB like I was.
If I helped hit thanks!
ok
thanks for all information !

A few weeks ago when I still had my HTC Hero it was overclocked to 672Mhz (standard = 528Mhz). It gave me a little boost in performance on Froyo, also the batterylife wasn't decreased too much.
But with our N1 running on 1Ghz, will it give much difference when clocked to 1113/1152Mhz? And what about batterylife?
If SetCPU is used what are your settings then? Mine is currently running on stock speed, no SetCPU.

I have my nexus one rooted and flashed to MIUI Rom and clock @ 690mhz I get way better battery power. Before I would only get 6hr to 8hr if lucky now I get from 9hr to 13hr depending how much I use it.
set to 1.13 ghz
then screen off to minimum 245mhz

So you underclocked it, what about the speed? It's not to laggy?
Nexus one can run reasonably smooth @ 600mhz and above. It might not open applications as fast as it will be @ 1GHz though.
i think 1Ghz is enough for n1
why do u want an overclock?

I didn't said I want an overclock. It's allready very fast on 1Ghz (compared to my old Hero ), just wanted to know your thoughts about overclocking the N1.
im overclocked at 1152 mhz and profiles set for 245 max with screen off. Overclocking is nice because i like the snappiness but most people cant tell the difference between 998 mhz and 1152. its not needed to overclock but i think profiles help alot. just my two cents
Ok thx, I will try 1150Mhz and see (if it's stable and) what batterylife does. I'm also going to try underclocking.
I have my N1 only for a couple of weeks now and I must say, this phone is awesome. It's VERY fast compared to my old Hero. I remember when I was installing apps on my Hero it became very slow and couldn't do anything untill installing was finished. With the N1 you still can do things while installing apps without lag. The responsiveness and smoothness is also a lot faster. I loved my Hero Because it never let me down, ok it was all a bit slower, but it was getting there. Now with the release of Gingerbread (custom ROM) it became to slow for me and that's why I sold my Hero and bought the N1. It was very difficult to find one, because of the EOL (end of life). But eventually I found one and i'm very happy with it. The N1 is allready more 1 year old, but it still competes with the best phones out there.
I generally run overclocked at 1075MHz, which gives a good balance between battery power usage and processor power. My understanding is that a different voltage scaling method is generally used above 1075MHz, so power consumption will increase above that point.
Didn't knew the voltage would increase above 1075Mhz, will keep that in mind

This is, of course, dependent upon how the kernel is constructed, but this is what I have generally found to be true.
Give us some feedback
I overclocked it too 1075Mhz when screen is on (screen off 245Mhz). Will give my thoughts in a day or 2.
Just report that my battery drain is almost the same as on stock settings. I think it drains a tiny bit faster on 1075Mhz, but nothing major. On the other hand, I don't feel it's faster on 1075Mhz then on stock speed. Only benchmarks give me performance increase.
I'm now on CM6.1.1 with stock kernel (cyanogen), I tried other kernels like Wilmonks kernel,.. Although it was more responsive, battery was going down even faster. I get best battery results with stock kernel.
Hard to choose
more speed = more battery drain
less speed = longer battery
I think I stay with the last option (less speed = longer battery), because Wildmonks kernel doesn't give me enough performance increase over the stock kernel on stock speed.
I have mine at 998mhz, but overclocked 1152 while plugged into power.
Either way, its so easy to play with the clock settings, i'd just have a play with a bunch of different settings if i were you.

You can use SetCPU to create profiles based on different circumstances.
Me, I have mine clocked to a max of 1075 and min of 245 with the screen on, 576 max / 128 min screen off, 998/128 charging (to reduce heat - overclocking while power is applied can make it silly hot), and a failsafe to clock down to 576/128 if the temperature gets over 50*C.
Fabulous app.
Correct me if I am wrong. When you use setcpu to "ondemand", the CPU speed can ramp up to max whenever necessary, otherwise the speed will tune down to min especially in standby mode. In that way, you can enjoy the advantages of overclocking and underclocking the CPU speed i.e. increasing performance when needed and saving power when not in use, right? When I loaded Rod's MIUI and Wildmonk's kernel, I can underclock down to 128Mhz and overclock up to 1.152Ghz. At the end of the day, I still have over 60% of power left after not so heavily use (some web browsing, checking email and listen some music). Overall, setcpu is a great app for me.
Hi,
Sorry for the newbish question but I noticed Dalingren released new kernels today(02/23) and they all run at stock speeds. This is my first try with a new kernel and am running Froyo Customized 0.6.8. Just wondering what is the proper way to OC these new kernels? Do we have to use a SetCPU type program or is there a setting somewhere I am missing or a file that needs to be edited? I just don't want to break anything by doing it the "wrong" way.
Kevin
Yes, you would need to use SetCPU to hit the higher clock speeds. I set my profile to vary between 800 and 1100 MHz OnDemand. I also set my "screen off" profile to vary between 300 and 600 MHz OnDemand so I reduce battery consumption when not using the NC.
It has worked well for me, been using that strategy for several weeks on the older version of the kernel. Just updated to the new one today and it still works great!
SetCPU is available in the Market for $1.99, but the developer makes it free to XDA members here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Its a really nice gesture to his fellow modders, so if it does what you need please consider buying it for $2.
this is a good way to go. I have been using it on my HTC Hero and now on the Nook.
It does not have profiles like SetCPU it is just clean and simple.

This is basically the same settings is use also. I set the lower threshold on my profile to 600. Go ahead and spend the $2 on setCPU. It's easy to set, and works well.

Why has nobody overclocked the Droid 3 yet? Is anyone working on this?

From what I understand, we have limited access to kernel modifications. I don't think the bootstrap circumvents these problems.
I'm still hopeful though.
With the locked bootloader, custom kernels aren't possible. However, it can be overclocked, through the injection of a module. I'm not quite sure how it works, but once someone does that, we can OC. They got the Droid 2 and X to 2 ghz.

With kernel modules is possible, was already done on milestone 1
I would be more interested in undervolting. Can this be done with the injected module or is direct access to the kernel required?

You can do it now with SetCPU. Be very careful though, Moto used a weird governor on this called moto_hotplug, when root was first available and people undervolted some reported going too low and not having enough power to turn on the screen. I wouldn't set the max below 600MHz until more is known about this governor, and even 600 has been a little low for me at times.

Usually Motorola phones are power hungry because the 3G, not because the cpu consumption, the gain in battery life available trough undervolt is usually limited.

I appreciate your response, but I think you misunderstood my question. I want to undervolt, not cap the frequency. For example, if the SoC operates at 1.3v at a clock speed of 1Ghz, then I would like to try and drop the voltage to 1.2V at 1Ghz (higher or lower voltage if viable). I don't think this can be done through setcpu, can it?
It's possible to overclock right now but the process is not user-friendly. I've been trying to write a kernel module to simplify it and make the changes appear to survuve a reboot but haven't had enough spare time to figure it out entirely. Check out this post by yang.felix, he found the proper register to manipulate on the XT862 but it isn't easy for the average user; I'm trying to see if a similar approach to how the original Milestone was overclocked can be applied to the XT862/XT860:

Hello,
I'd like to overclock my Incredible S, but I've never done this before so maybe someone here can help me?
I'm using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424260
And they recommend this for overclocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207546
Just to know, what are good values to overclock to? And does it drain the battery a lot faster or not?
They implemented overclocking settings in there ROM. So you dont need that app. Just go into settings - performance and play
I wouldent recommend clocking over 1.5Ghz. And to be honest I cant see any reason to go over that.
I have my clock speed at 1.4 and can play, surf and watch youtube clips etc. and still have about 40% after about 15h. Normal use I could probably keep the battery for 20-24 h.

The profiles won't change the frequency it just changes the way your cpureacts to different situations such as screen off and high performance demand. The search Google "Android governor profiles explained"

Hello, Im new in Note, installed yesterday Slim Bean Rom and hydracorenirvana v7 OC kernel and I noticed that Note get warm, like 35-50 C while browsing internet or doing some low requerements stuff. I tried to low CPU to 1ghz but still the same... And while playing it jumps more then 50C, is that normal? I really dont want to burn it
Probably the media scanner is maxing the CPU, normal after installing a new ROM especially if you have a lot of files. Give it some time to settle down.

Dont forget the Hydracore is a maxed out performance kernel, designed for ultimate speed, so it will generate more heat doing basic things unlike the stock kernel.
and not to mention the massive power hungry screen and huge battery inside, its normal so dont worry about it. If it gets to the point where its too hot to touch, just remove the battery for 10mins and allow it to cool down.
Can I OC and UV GPU with hydracore kernel? I have S2 with dorimanx kernel , there is Stweaks app its very usefull when I can choose battery or performance profiles. and its auto OC and UV on that kernel. Can we get something on Note?
there are many apps that can do this, Tegrak, SetCPU etc, but be careful messing with voltages as it can prevent the phone from functioning.
You can use a basic app such as no-frills-CPU to adjust OC and governors.

Ok, now Im on jellybam woth "voldemort" kernel and on battery it looks little less warmer but when I charging and try to play games or browse it gets really hot, like ~55C . Is it normal and not damage my Note? Also I always use 1ghz cpu speed. with 1.4 or 1.6 ghz its little bit warmer
