i have mine running at max all the time works great

i have mine at min -528 max -528 when the screen is on
when screen is off i got it at min - 128 max - 245
thing is i found that i can make the min even lower and the max up to 998
i wanna know the highest i can set it to so i can get full performance

im not too sure about that one but i would love to run mine at 998 lol

so overclocking works now that we have the kernal then ?? cuase it wouldnt work without the kernal before right ?

I would like to know how you did this as well

im not sure if im doin it correctly
but i was just goin through the settings on overclock widget and went to advanced settings and went to "click here to define" and it has all frequencies from 19200 - 998400 you just gotta check them in order to use them

Yeah, with our pre-source kernel, overclocking is not possibly because dynamic clocking is enabled in the kernel, so it automatically adjusts the clockrate.

So basically the Overclocking Widget is useless until we get a ROM with the new kernel source? Oh well, won't be long.

Set CPU Settings

I was wondering what would be considered optimal settings for SetCpu. I amn running BaconBits and am not sure how I should do the settings.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

i have mine set at:
Profile 1 : 806 MHz max, 245MHz min, On Demand, priority 50
Profile 2 : 245 MHz max , 245MHz min, On Demand, for when the screen is off, priority 50
if i change the MHz, i change it higher on profile 1 for whatever i need it for then i just scale it back down to 806 when i am done...

Mines pretty much the same as the one above save for max clock speed being 1500Mhz.

I have my scaling set ondemand, have setcpu set at boot, with 1497 max and 245 min, with profiles for various states of the phone.
My profiles:
Screen off: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=100
Battery temp >104: 806 max, 245 min - Priority=90
Battery <10: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=80
Battery <20: 368 max, 245 min - Priority=70
Battery <30: 768 max, 245 min - Priority=60
Charging/Full: 1497 max, 245 min - Priority=50
I get well over a day of use, even with moderate-heavy usage, even with my overclocking on Evil's Sense ROM.

If you search google for an "overclocking 101" thread you should find a rather large ongoing break down of setcpu and the most efficient way to use it. I believe its on one of the droid forums, awesome info.

I just stole the rest of your settings, hope you dont mind!

By all means, have at it!

Main profile: 245 - 1017 on demand
Charging/Full: 1017 - 1017 performance 90 priority
Screen Off: 245 - 245 performance; mainly as this mode will bypass the need to poll/sample for CPU speeds, thus reduces some CPU load. 100 priority
Battery < 20%: 245 - 768 on demand 75 priority

i decided to put the SetCPU widget on my homescreen last night so i could see if the profiles were actually changing as my battery ran lower... and my phone got reaaaalllly sluggish to the point where i would have to wait a few seconds for it to flip back and forth between screens... i deleted the widget thinking that might have caused it, but it was still laggy... so i unclicked on the profiles for battery and got it back to 806MHz and it was fine again...
im guessing that it supposed to slow down the phone when the CPU drops below 806MHz but i didnt think it would be that bad... anyone else experiance this?

What are the profiles you are using? The ones you copied shouldn't have run into any conflicts... except when you're under 20% battery where the CPU is throttled under 368.
What is your powersave bias?

Speaking of powersave bias, could anyone tell me some optimal settings for the setCPU advanced tab? Don't mean to derail this thread, I've just never used that tab.

I believe i was right at 20% batt or right below,so that could have been the issue... I havent messed with anything on the advanced tab as i dont know much about it, the powersave bias is still set to 0

I have HTC heroc 200 alltel running fresh 2.40 rom firerat mtd 160 10. what should I set CPU to
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

does anyone else feel that their battery lasts longer without using setcpu at all? I mean I love what setcpu can do but in terms of power efficiency, even without overclocking, for some reason I feel like my battery last longer without it.... or am I just crazy?

I used to get about a whole day without setcpu. With setcpu, same amount of usage, I get well over a day and a half before having to charge it up.

[Q] SetCPU on Mytouch 4G

Does SetCPU work on the Mytouch 4G right now? Or does it need a custom kernel?

I use it fine to set profiles and all...but you can't go any higher than stock speed yet

Would de-clocking it improve battery live at all? The MT4G is uber fast right out of the box, and I could probably live without a couple hundred MHz.

OK I can say now, SetCPU not completely working on my MT4G
Scale doesn't work. If I set min at 768 and max 1024, it will still bounce between 245 Mhz and 1024.
If I de-clock to 768 as max, it still goes to 1024 Mhz
I was wondering why my ScreenOff max 245Mhz profile is not improving my battery life....well, that't why.

Cpu settings

Hey could someone suggest me some good cpu settings to go fast and save battery
Im currently running CM7
So thanks in advance!

Definitely using about the same settings here also. I find a get better performance with OnDemand.

Id say so. But 1.2ghz might be a bit high. Am I crazy or is 800mhz enough? I'm on CM7 and 806mhz is plenty fast for me. Maybe 1ghz for a Sense ROM.

martonikaj ,
It depends what your running I imagine. But leaving it to the stock speed I can see some lag when attempting to open other programs or move from one screen to the other. That's one of the reason why people are OC'ing their devices. But if your like a friend of mine he basically only does txt msg, browsing and phone calling then he doesn't need to have anything changed. He's using the STOCK Sense rom that comes with the device.

I do a lot on my phone, but I run a tight ship. On CM7 nightly with a stock 2.3 launcher, the phone doesn't need more than 806mhz in order to keep from being sluggish. CM7 is extremely lightweight and efficient.
But like I said, a Sense ROM probably should be running at 1ghz to stay smooth.

I'm running MIUI 1.8.12 with few scripts.
OC'ed at 1.2ghz. It's a great little device the way it is. CM7 was running smooth when I had that on. But I'm playing around

Ok thanks your replies!

[Q] battery life settings

I read in a post elsewhere that
"but you have to look at your battery.... it will increase battery drain... ( i set max cpu 96 mhz when screen is off and set cpu 1152 mhz when screeen is on... that saves battery an my hd2 is flying with speed when i am using it, and i decreased cpu voltage a little bit)."
Where do i find the settings to set max cpu to 96 when screen is off??
Thanks
Chris

SetCPU's good. @OP, the SetCPU Dev is an XDA member and provides it for free from XDA so if you want to search for it and download it from the original thread you can. If you want to support him then please buy the app from the Play Store.
Also I personally feel that the advice you've been given is quite poor. 96MHz max with the screen off is definitely too low. I keep mine at 128 min and 4 something max, that way the battery usage is low but I get a fast response when I unlock the phone. With 96MHz max you're going to get tonnes of wakelocks. I tried to set mine to be at 128MHz once then tried playing music (with the screen off) and the phone froze, so I reckon with 96 max any background syncing or in fact any background processes could result in freezing.
