What programs does everyone use to powersave? - Droid Incredible General

I have been using Ultimate Juice defender and it seems to be working well I guess. Is there a better option? If you use UJD what settings do you use?

Root and use "SetCPU".

That's what I use, I have profiles set to underclock the CPU when the screen is off or when the battery life falls to a certain percent

What's a strait forward guide to using set CPU.

Here is the official setCPU documentation: http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/
I am using the Adrynalyne Custom Kernal (v2) which defaults the cpu governor to Conservative in setCPU. For my setCPU profile, I only have one entry that underclocks to the slowest speed when the screen is off.

I have it set to run at conservative from 600 so mhz at 50%, 300 at 25% and powersave and lowest clock setting when the screen is off on powersave.
I'm running the latest frankenrom and using adr's experimental battery kernel

i'm trying to run setcpu on my phone but everytime i set a profile it never kicks in and i set a default of 384/786 but phone still clocks out at max use according to my system panel. i'm using stock kernal so i dunno if that has anything to do with it........

I would make sure you have preflock disabled in the menu.

x10 setcpu benchmark

i got setcpu also and i did a long benchmark it says 5628ms and lower is faster , what that means? and whats overclocking? how do i use this app to make my battery longer im on fw 026.
my profile settings are:
charging ac/full 998 max 245 min ondemand
charging usb/full same as above
screenoff 384max 245 min ondemand priority 50
battery <30% same as screenoff
are these good settings am i missing something?
It means your phone needed 5628 ms to calculate something. The less time it takes, the faster your phone...
There's a thread somewhere on the best settings for max battery, but lower settings make your phone slower...

SetCPU

I need a setting for my Mytouch 4G with the best battery life, can anyone help me out here?! Thanks in advance plus i can't go lower then 245MHz cause the phone obviously starts freezing....
Not all phones are the same..my best battery life is on fauxs latest gingerbread kernel..using the smartass governor

baller1 alot of things depends as it's not single factor. First the biggest battery consumption on our device comes from the screen so change the blacklight to lowest possible. The second is service/process which runs this would actually depend user to user and based on that your own SetCPU settings. If you have alot of service you never use then disable it on startup and from restarting. Also cut down on media intensive stuffs like widget and live wallpaper or other elements that's always updating. The last one is network bases which would depend on the overall network quality and type of service your connected to in this case find the best radio that works for you first and then depending on your setup push data on given interval. If you stay connected you use more power.
Find a nice rom for example CM7NB and use cfs-lv kernel from faux and let the gov in setcpu be smartass and scale the max/min frequency be 245mhz-768mhz and you can run it with no problem. If you need more power for something then just add next one in setcpu. Also you may want to setup a profile for idle/screen-off mode and set it to ondemand 245-368mhz.

you can set a profiles up that change how much power u want, you can make 1 when you shut the screen off and its in stand by and another 1 when you turn the screen on...i do that and it helps alot.
Pm me and ill send you my profiles I use, you'll just have to open setcpu and import them

Royal 3.0 w/demonspeed

Hello
I have been using the latestversion9 demonspeed kernel with royalginger 3.0
Royalginger cpu settings min122 max1200 superbad governor.
I have setcpu installed but only to read cpu specs and temp.
Anyone else run this setup?
Lately it hovers at 100% then will dive down a bit faster.
I may set a different governor ?

Try Scary governor, its based off conservative instead of interactive/ondemand like smartass and superbad. Screen off profile is the same in all.
have you properly calibrated your battery? 2 ways to do so...easiest way would be to download the app from the market Battery Calibration by NĂ©Ma. wait til your phone is fully charged then run the app
option 2- drain your battery all the way down until the phone turns off then turn the phone back on to get rid of that little extra bit of juice left in the battery. with the phone off, charge it fully until its 100 percent. then reboot into recovery>advanced>wipe battery stats. reboot afterwards and you should be good to go

Best I/O Scheduler and CPU Governor on Glitch

I am using CM7 ROM and Glitch kernel together on the Verizon Fascinate and was just wondering what everyone is using for the I/O Scheduler and the CPU Governor with Voltage control.
I have mine OC'd to 1.5GHz and using bfq and performance.
that setup you are using will suck down battery in no time. Im running v13 from paid glitch app, smartass v2 with deadline and underclocked to 800mhz and get 5 hours of ACTUAL PHONE USE/SCREEN ON TIME and about a full day before needing a re-charge on an 1800ma samaung battery and the phone still flys. zero lag! You really dont need to run any more than 1 ghz, but 1.2ghz will give you crazy speed and still allow for some good batterylife. 1.5 is overkill.

smartass is best in my opinion. It seems to run lower clocks more often when high clock is not needed.. I don't have smartass v2 for some reason

I use cfq and smartassv2. Here is a thread with explanations of all of the schedulers and governers, how they work and what ones are the best.

Using noop/smartass the last day or so...seems to be running smooth.
Smartass never seems to go below 400mhz on my phone. I've been using OnDemand.
I haven't really noticed any performance difference with any of the IO schedulers. Probably because it's flash and not a disk based drive in the phones.

I do have it a little overkill, but I enjoy the speed when using some apps like games. My battery does last a whole day however with the 1800ma battery life, but then again all I use my phone for during the day is texting or VNC. I'm gonna try the smartass V2 and Deadline. Thanks!
I do quite a bit of gaming on my device (9mm, Dungeon Defenders, etc...). Overclock is set at 1.4 no UV, with absolutely no lock ups. BFQ and smartass yield the highest fps for me on V13RC.

I thought we weren't supposed to use performance because it doesn't respect thermal safeguards. Am I correct?

Performance would be a bad idea over long periods of time. Essentially since it runs the phone at the highest possible frequency for 100% of the time, it stresses the CPU much more than any other option. This could cause overheating if used for too long, not to mention the toll on your battery. We all assume that it would decrease the life of your processor because it logically could, but that isn't a big deal sienc you'll likely be upgrading long before the processor would begin to fail regardless of what you do with it now.

Interesting, when I set BFQ and Smartass on mine I get force closes on the simple apps, for instance the internet browser or file viewer. But when I play games on it I dont get any force closes on the games.
Maybe try clearing data on voltage control & reflashing kernel. I have been running my current configuration on MIUI, CM7, and now Pool Party for the last 90 days or so with no issues.

Assuming you mean "safe" then yes over short periods of time it's fine. If you tried to run at a high clock on performance all the time you would probably get heat and battery life problems.
I'm running miui and glitch v12 and I find it very strange that my phone runs really good (almost as good as any combination that I tested) on conservative governor.

Thats not strange at all really. I've had it last multiple days with data and everything off, conservative, and underclocled to 800mhz when I needed to be away from a charger for a while.
and it performed really well.

Tasker governor question.

Is it ok for me to have a task in Tasker that changes the governor everytime the phone sleeps and wakes? Is that harmful to my device?
not sure about if it's dangerous or not but I am curious a to why you would want to... sleep is sleep not much of anything happening to warrant a change

Well, I've found that my battery lasts a lot longer when the powersave governor is on, even while in sleep. When the screen is on I have it change to ondemand so i get a nice smooth UI. When in sleep with ondemand on, it drains faster than when I have powersave on and have it clocked to 288000 MHz.

You have it clocked at 28.8 GHz? Pretty sure you're going to melt your phone. (I kid)
I believe he meant 288 GHz. He's from the future and is trolling us.

Totally fine, but you might encounter stability problems.
Lol. My bad, was just copying what Trickster Mod said.. :/ I have the min at 288 MHz so when power save is on it underclocks to that.
I just don't want to screw up the hardware by jumping back and forth between ondemand and powersave.
