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.

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.

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.

For all those who use SetCPU, can you please post your profiles you use. Any issues you've experienced etc. Thanks!
I use 1075 max 245 min as my main profile and then 499 max 245 min for screen off and battery < 15%. All of them are ondemand.
No issues so far.
I use 1190 max 245 min for everyday use, and 576 max 245 min for charging, screen off, and battery < 20%.
is set cpu an app? does this conserve battery life or what is the purpose? any negative effects?

yes its a program. you must have root in order to use it. you can find it here on XDA. It can conserve your battery. I have yet to have any bad feed back about it.

did you change any of the other settings like he did? do ya have "set on boot" checked or unchecked? how stable is it? I can only be mildly adventurous due to my phone being the only way I can get online when I'm in my 18-wheeler
Some other forum members seem to have reboot and lockup issues with 844mhz but I don't. For a long trip I would keep it at 806mhz if you're unsure and it's untested. Not every phone is the same.
I use the Overclock Widget and set it to:
Auto Start on boot - No
Screen on Min, Max 844
Screen off Min, Max 245
Differ Freq Screen Off - Yes
Was wondering what type of profiles people got setup on setcpu for some good battery durations oc'ed.

Mines going at 200 mhz to 1000 mhz, on demand governor, and a powersave bias of 20%. No profiles. Why? Because to implement the profiles setcpu has to remain in memory. It does not feel slow at all and I'm getting terrific battery life.

sorry im a newbie, how do you set the "on demand governor?" .and powersave bias, u get that from the advanced tab where it says "powersave bias (1-1000)" and just put 20?

Well the scaling governor is on the main page, right under the minimum frequency slider. You are only half right on the powersave bias: 20 would be 2%. So to do 20%, you need 200. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Questions:
Did you notice battery drain with setcpu in memory?
How is the battery temp?
Does the powersave bias mean that you will never scale to the peak value?
Had the phone off the charger since 11am.
Moderate call usage
Heavy texting
Moderate internet usage
Music for roughly 3hours straight
Wireless tethering on Xbox live for roughly an hour

245 min, 768 max
So its a bit after 1am and just over 14hrs after a full charge. While using my profiles and info as posted in my above 2 posts along with 2hrs of GPS usage, light phone call usage, and heavy internet usage my phone finally died 14hrs later with the Gov module on conservative with posted profiles and OC'd at 1459.
Although abought 10min prior to it dieing I did attempt to submit this post from the phone but near the end of the post it froze up, showed the desktop and my battery notification showed 0% and the phone then rebooted itself but I got a bootloop on the "g2" screen and had to pull the battery to fix it.
After 10% battery level I was experiencing lagging and slowness while online so I'm assuming because of my profile setting of 245/245 at that battery level and what probably caused my bootloop.
*Edit: I must say I'm pretty impressed. I had my Nexus one alot more heavily modified than my g2 and only OC'd to 1113 with similar daily usage and I would have to charge it one time at some point during the day to last me throughout the night.

Okay, so I got my G2 about two weeks ago, and have been running set CPU with these settings since then.
Main profile: 1478 max / 245 min
Screen Off: 245/245, Priority 100
Temp > 100.4 F: 368/245 Priority 97
Temp > 96.8 F: 768/245 Priority 95
Battery < 20%: 245/245 Priority: 82
Battery < 30%: 368/245 Priority: 81
Battery < 40%: 768/245 Priority: 80
Charging/Full: 1478/245 Priority 60
Charging USB/Full: 768/245 Priority 55
Charging AC/Full: 1478/245 Priority 50
On light use I've gotten almost two days, by light use I mean only a few phone calls or text messages and data turned off. On Normal use I've been averaging around 16 hours, and on heavy use I've been getting around 10 hours. Pretty good battery life, I'm pleased with it being my first Android phone, was a black berry user before this.
I have SetCPU set with all of these profiles, other then charging profiles and it seems that the "Screen Off" profile isn't working. I have it set to 245/245 and it still seems to be at 1497/245 because the battery gets hot and drains very fast (about 8 hours with literally zero use). It shows idle Cell Standby and Phone Idle taking up most of the battery (a combined total of about 85%) anyone know why it wouldn't be working properly?
SetCPU has SU permissions and profiles are enabled... Anything else?
Is SetCPU a lot better then the free CPU tuner? I know it's only 1.99, but I'm feeling cheap at the moment.

you have to make sure the priority is at a higher level than all the others...like 100

my htc wont show any clock speeds past the 806mhz. ...any ideas? i tried to perflock disable and it says it is already..and in custom profiles it shows still only max up to 806
edt** read a custom kernal may be required...im on stock. thats probably why
how to save battery life when using setcpu?
same that:
Firstly, this is the Android Development Section, so, you have posted this in the wrong section.
Anyway, to the topic, I just watched the video. I don't quite get what the problem is. What part of the video are you unable to follow? You can keep it at the same levels depicted in the video, but, a few of my suggestions:
* Min at 691 is too much. Keep min at 245, it will save battery even when screen is on
* Screen off values are too low. In my personal experience, if it is kept so low, the phone hangs when an incoming call arrives. So, after much experimenting, I have seen that keep the min value at 245. Anything below that can hang the phone. (Obviously many people do get it working fine at 160 MHz, but, this is my personal experience with my Wildfire)
As for the settings under the "Advanced" Tab, I am not having that many settings in my version of SetCPU, so cant really comment on that.

I'm quite rookie on this with cpu and stuff. But, I've read somewhere that the "perfomance" makes that its always running on the max Mhz. So whats the point of having the min on 245 then?
I'm just asking to learn =)

As far as I know you're correct and performance will simply cause the cpu to run at the max speed, the same as setting min and max the same (except its meant to be slightly better than that as it doesn't bother spending cpu cycles figuring out if it should drop the cpu speed to the min)
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??

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.
