I'm having quite a bit of problem with my Dopod 900 (HTC Universal). It's performance in terms of battery life is below my expectations (probably due to all the plugins/startups that I have).
I'm thinking of using CPU throttling programs, i.e. XCPUScalar OR Pocket Hack Master. Has anyone had experience using such programs before, and does it really extend battery life significantly?
Also, any comments on which program is better, more stable, etc.?
It does not work on my Atom Life phone, can anyone help ?? thanks !!
Atom life CPU is Intel xscale 。maybe other ways and means.
Im looking for someone to tell me what they think is there best settings to be used in there prefered app for example setcpu,faux123, do you overclock and to what settings, what has worked for you guys
i generally dont use my phone to much in a day so battery last the day so i dont mind it being overclocked when im using it if it means it runs faster but drains battery, some suggestion please, im a novice
no flames about i used the word 'best' im looking for opionons thankyou if you help

IMO, no overclock is required. The phone is fast and snappy enough.
That said, I underclock the minimum frequency and undervolt throughout the frequency table.
This ensures that I get better battery life, without any decrease in performance.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1.0 Stable Release.
I'm using franco.kernel r161, and his companion app - franco.kernel updater.
The following settings are giving me great performance and battery life.
CPU Frequency Range : Screen On - 384 MHz - 1512 MHz, Screen Off - 384 MHz
CPU Governor : Interactive
GPU Frequency: 400 MHz
Frequency Table Undervolt : -125 mV throughout

Good Luck!
So i just installed a dualboot setup on my SGS3. I use primary rom the latest cyanogen mod 10.1 nightly and for the secondary rom latest omega rom 4.1.2. For kernel i use the latest one from Siyah. The omega rom i use for intense gaming, multimedia, pictures, music, comunications and so on, and the cyanogen mod rom i use for daily calling/texting use. The omega rom i left untouched in terms of undervolting/underclocking as i need the power (but i really don't see any reason to OC my cpu/gpu as it runs perfectly smooth). But i heavily undervolted/underclocked my CPU/GPU in cyanogen rom for battery life as the following:
1. CPU: running only 2 cores at minimum of 200mhz and maximum of 1000mhz with -100mV undervolting
2. CPU undervolting steps i left untouched
3. my GPU runs at the following steps:
108mhz - 800mV
160mhz - 800mV
266mhz - 825mV
350mhz - 850mV
400mhz - 875mV
My system is perfectly stable even after heavy benchmarking, i reduced it to a galaxy nexus level of performance. For daily use in telephony/texting/social media is more than enaugh. I am now doing a full charge and run only on cyanogen mod with average use and auto brightness (2 mail clients, watsapp, facebook mess, yahoo mess, hangouts, 3G allways on) and i will report back with the battery stats after a full discharge. Here are some screenshots for my under voltage/clocking setup:

on topic : only 2 cores .. even for best battery life i wouldn't use just 2 cores
Yea nice, i will try it asap

Any results?
Did you get a significant difference?
I hava try it and yes it has more battery life now but. Now i am back on my settings because i want it snappy and performance.

But i must say the idea With dualrom is perfect. I think i will do this with revolt Rom for gaming and cm 10.1 for battery.

I did pretty much the same thing yesterday underclocking to 1.2 GHz and deactivated 2 cores. it didn't help at all though unsurprisingly, since the phone runs on low MHz most of the time (when doing some reading or other undemanding stuff).

try this one and let me know as i have undervolted a lot and my settings doesnt have any lag,
siyah kernel is really gr8. i have undervolted my cpu to -100mv and by checking cpu spy and analysing at which frequency cpu is working more, i have undervolted that frequency to -125mv
and gpu setting is
266mhz - 850
350mhz - 875
440mhz - 900
533mhz - 950
600mhz - 975
Touch boost - 600mhz

i find it out to be optimal good performance and better battery life.
You have lowered your GPU and CPU frequency to get better battery life compromising performance and i think by your settings u wud get max of more half an hour battery. I am getting nearly 5hr screen on time with my settings
Undervolting doesn't produce any noticeable battery gain. Your battery gains are probably from the fact that you use Siyah kernel.

i don't know exactly but i have set cpu freq to 1500mhz and gpu to 600mhz both of which are overclocked and undervolted producing bettery battery results. what i think and have read if u undervolt and overclock u might get better battery life with same performance.
and buddy i am regularly following ur post " Awesome Underrated Mods/Tweaks (24+ Battery Life) "
both adam kernel and boeffla kernel ( using zzmove governor) gives gud battery life results but my setting is overclocked and gpu to which would produce good result in 3d or heavy graphics gaming also.
i am not saying anything against but these are my thoughts and review.
I would like to know what u think. i am really a starter trying many things and need this community's support.

Thanks for the kind words. The most important factor in gaining battery life is the governor. Right now, zzmoove is the best. Boeffla, Googy, Siyah, Adam and Devil kernel all offer the zzmoove governor. As for undervolting or underclocking, it's not going to make a big difference so don't worry too much about it.
1500MHZ and 600MHZ is good.
The first thing that comes to our mind is overclocking for a better performance and underclocking for better battery life.
I tell you what, you might get bettery battery life by underclocking. But a big problem starts here:crying:,
The processors are tested vigorously and out of the box you get the sweet frequency.
UNDERCLOCKING: Sweet frequency for DEEP SLEEP is 200MHZ.
If you think you can get a better battery life by making it sleep in 100MHZ your are completely wrong, It takes more voltage operating at 100MHZ and thus further drain.
Overclocking: Don't do it, Games like Real racing 3, NFS most wanted plays without a lag, The MALI-400 and Dual core CPU does a great job. So u really don't need overclocking.
CPU GOVERNERS: Don't try switching between CPU Governor's often. By default it comes with ONDEMAND and that is good enough for multi tasking and it is good as a daily driver. ONDEMANDX is a slightly better one. Both of does a pretty good job. So i suggest you stick with these two if you want the phone to working like a S2:good:
