i checked all the options and the check does check on the option to show the cpu speed but for some reason it's not showing on the today's screen, can someone help please....
Do you use the orginal default.xml of BS ?
it might be that in yours (the default.xml) the CPU speed is not in.
Try to install it again, might work.

installed set cpu and it only lets my clock it to 499mhz and the overclock widget only got me to 663mhz.. how did u guys get it to 998mhz??
.............
Are you downloading the correct version? DOwnload this one and select Nexus One in the device selection menu.
SetCpu is made for all the most current Android phones (mostly), you can even let it automatically detect the clock speed.
Why do you need this? I've seen the phone hit 1GHz when it needed to so I just let its internal processor scaling do its job. Is there something you are doing that isn't kicking the processor up when it needs it?
Setcpu absolutely works with Nexus One, i have it right now with the overclocked kernal running 1113 to 691, you have to hit menu and pick the Nexus One as your phone.
Just recently I rooted and flashed a MoDaCo Custom ROM. Excited to take advantage of my new powers, I downloaded the OverclockWidget to see what I can squeeze out of my phone's Qualcomm MSM 7225 heart.
Fresh after installation. The "Min" and "Max" CPU speed bars in the widget only go up to 512MHz which is the actual speed it's ticking away at.
Going into "Advanced Settings" of the widget I defined "my own" frequencies, I checked the box to "Use your frequencies" and then tried to set the Min / Max values to something higher. I granted the super user access each time I was setting it, but the speed displayed on the widget never actually went above 512... what's even stranger - I could see the Min / Max values being set to something completely different (lower) than what I set it to in the first place.
Another thing I notices is that the "Detect frequencies" option doesn't seem to be doing anything. As in, I click it - and nothing happens.
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, or missing something? I would really like to get this going, so any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

any chance will this be rolled into the 2.1 build?
So it looks like there are no ROMs currently available that have this perflock disabled?
According to my experience with HTC Magic using PERFCLOCK settings actually performs better than adjusting cpu clock with an app.
You CAN indeed change screen-on and scree-off frequencies but you need to do it at the kernel level.
will somebody make an OC kernel?
I'm working on it

Some news?
I am using an hd2, and i have noticed something that may be causing a lot of battery drain, that is consistent among every build that I have used. When I use setcpu, and give it root access, and whether i select auto detect or manually put in nexus one/snap dragon, it does not listen to the cpu cap that i put. i will exit the app, and go back to it, and the cpu clock speed with almost always exceed the cpu cap that i set, and many times, it will be running at the full 998 mhz. why is this, and how can i fix it?
I uninstalled SetCPU the other day as a little experiment. It makes f-all difference to me. In fact it makes things worse.
no longer needed with the latest kernels

This problem seems to relate to a kernel feature called perflock .. disabling this in-kernel allows the cpu cap in setcpu to be adhered to .. Unfortunately this is done at compile time and has no userland interface to use. I dont think its relating to all the battery drain you see but for sure if you limit cpu speeds with profiles like screen off it will have an effect.
try updateing super user libraries.

Whats that then ?
how would i go about updating the su libraries? does anybody have an actual fix to this, because i would think my battery would be a lot better if the set cpu app was actaully working. and no, the latest kernels dont seem to be doing their job, because they all burn through juice like theres no tomorrow.
u have 2.04 installed ? it fc'd for me , now im using 2.02 no problems , try that

You don't update the su libraries .. su is either a static file or a link to busybox .. i cba looking right now .. probably a binary compiled statically ..
To have your issue resolved have a word with your friendly neighborhood kernel builder and ask him to disable perflock .. Its not needed for normal operation.
I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know how to get setcpu to work?! I have an HD2 running darkstone Froyo.
You can search all you want and still come up short, I'm trying to use system tuner to change the cpu and gpu settings and I cant find any help on how to use this app. Im running the latest Kaos Droid rom for 4.1.2, the latest Motley kernel and twrp, props to all developers:good:. Im looking for what the optimal settings are and how to use system tuner to change them. Can someone tell me or show me the right thread that can help? Im not sure what the min/max cpu settings should be and I cant seem to find where to change the gpu settings. We are all noobs at some point. I just want to beef my nexus up a little, nothing crazy.
aww for real?
I wouldn't use system tuner for this because it doesn't have the ability to change the GPU speed. I'd recommend TricksterMOD which is available here for free. Depending on your kernel (not sure if motley's kernel has configurable GPU now, it didn't when I used it) you can change different settings. It is personally up to you how you want to configure your device and change things depending on how it runs. Anyway, I'll give you an idea of my settings that I have changed.
CPU - Governor is Interactive (my kernels default but another alternative would be ondemand) running @ 102mhz min - 1600mhz max
IO - Governor is deadline (again default but imo the only one you should use) with cache at 1024.
GPU - 600mhz
VOLTAGES - My kernels defaults.
Make sure that you set the settings to be applied at boot (I use a delay of 1 because it didn't seem to apply without it) and also make sure your kernel has the powerHAL fix included, or else (in the case of trinity kernel) you will need to download this file (this is for Android 4.2.x). This will allow your CPU overclock to stick and not be reset to stock.
Hopefully this helps! But again, just play around with your frequency's and maybe look into voltage tweaking to get your personal balance between performance and power consumption. And if you are going for performance, I'd look at turning off fsync and using the ext4 mount script to boost your I/O dramatically (this will result in things such as faster app installs)
smt8544 thanks alot man! now I can start somewhere, I didnt wanna do anything stupid without some knowledge, I appreciate it!
Hi! I seen post like this before but I wanted to know why my phone (ALE-L21) have only 4 cores? I tried to modify CORE File in system , but I Failed! Can anyone tell me is there solution? Flashable Zip file? .img file?
In rest or low CPU usage 4 cores are offline for battery save
1. Use System Panel 2 to check core usage(it will show all cores doing somethin). Not 100% sure does it show correct info, but it feels like it does. (No idea how to test if info is correct)
2. Go to system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/ and rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk to something like HwPowerGenieEngine3.apko --> then reboot.
These step seem to have some effect for all cores to work. Also I think ESAL kernel has slight increase for amount of cores used.

I used CPU burner to see changes but only on SystemMotitor2 i saw changes! On other apps nothing changed
Kennel Auditor maybe

In AnTuTu benchmark i see this all cores have % but they are sleep! In Kernel Auditor, they are offline

Yeah, I think you can enable them in Kernel Auditor though

They Automatically Goes offline! Maybe hotplug switch's them off?
I think they work just when they are needed, such when streaming videos or doing something heavy
The manufacturer won't put 8 cores if they will disable 4 of them permanently
Maybe we can't observe them because the are controlled in behavior lower than ART
i think they are just fake..
I need custom Kernel, Then i will get them to work!

Bro, even if i have 200 threads via CPU burner, they don't work! I have 100% Load but they stay offline
