Hey Guys. I know there are posts about over clocking and that there are threads like this in the other device forums.. BUT
Now that the new CyanogenMOD CM6.1 is out I was wondering what everyone is doing for their SETCPU profiles.
Can it please be time for us to make a thread like this for the Aria?
To start out, I'm confused about the order of my profiles.
(sorry but i don't have screen capture on the aria yet. anyone have a suggestion on what to use, PM me.)
here is what i currently have going on, highest priority first
100) Temp >50"C = 122"F then.. max 600, min 245, ondemand
75) screen off = max 245, min 245, ondemand
50) charging/full = max 864, min 245, ondemand
40) batt < 10% = max 245, min 245, powersave
30) batt < 25% = max 480, min 245, ondemand
20) batt < 50% = max 600, min 245, ondemand
so my biggest concern is if the temp gets too hot.. scale back to the default max of 600mhz.
if the screen is off then i'm not using my phone so slow the roll
if the batt is full or charging and the screen is on then FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!
if the batt is less than 10%, slow down as much as possible
if the batt is less than 25%, take it easy to conserve power
if the batt is less than 50%, bring it back down to the default max of 600mhz
does that make sense?
Check out "screenshot" by Gik Soft, small and simple, shake to take a screenshot.
Your interpretation of the profiles looks fine to me. For screen off, powersave limits the CPU to the minimum speed anyway, so min=max is redundant.
I noticed quite a bit more battery drain when using profiles (because SetCPU is constantly monitoring your device) but results may vary. Personally, I only boost the CPU for games and documents, and SetCPU will typically bump your phone down to minimum when idle anyway (assuming you don't have intensive background apps running).
I noticed the same, using profiles seems to drain my battery faster. So I just manually toggle my clock speeds. If you set to on demand you dont really even need to worry about a screen off profile. And when my battery starts to get low I just scale down the speed. The only time I've ever come close to needing a temp profile was if overclocked to 825 and using my phone intensively while it was charging...i never go over 806 anymore so temp is never a problem.
I can however see profiles being useful if you keep your phone overclocked to the max all the time.

If I set the min cpu speed to the minimum (245MHz) using SetCPU and then refresh the CPU monitor, it's always at Max (998MHz).
However if I set the min to 384MHz and refresh, it's at 384 (unless something else is going on in the background in which case it might increase a bit).
This is all with the CPU governor set to on-demand
If I set MAX cpu to 245 then the monitor says it's 254, btw, so it seems it can run at that speed fine and the monitor is working ok apparently. It's just with min speed set to 254, it seem to stick at 998Mhz.
Does anyone else see this behaviour?
It this just a problem with SetCPU, or an underlying issue?
well, having played around with it some more, it seems it's actually the cpu speeding itself up so rapidly when monitoring it that it registers max MHz!
If I increase the up threshold, or the sampling rate, so that it doesn't step up a gear so quickly, then the monitor reads 245MHz.
This does raise the question though that if simply pressing the refresh button is enough to up the cpu to max when it's at the default settings, maybe there are better settings for battery life?
Maybe a slightly higher minimum speed is better, so that it doesn't step up all the time (because when it does, it seems to go straight to max).....
Hey guys, I posted these settings in the main thread of darkstone, and it worked good for some, i'm making this thread to show the setting i'm using to conserve bettery.
I have been using Setcpu and advanced task killer combined and so far my battery life is amazing. I had the phone unplugged and fully charged at around 7 pm, used it for few calls and some gaming and also downloaded some apps, it was at 70% when i went to sleep at 4am, now it is 10 am and the battery is 66%.
You need SetCpu, you can get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
And Advanced Task Killer found on market for free.
I thought I would share those settings hopefully they work for you guys too,
For SetCpu:
Main Tab: max 1113, min 245, ondemand, check set on boot
Profiles: 1- Screen Off, max 245, min 245, ondemand, Priority 100
2- Battery <25%, max 652, min 245, ondemand, Priority 0
Advanced: Sampling rate= 20000
Up Threshold= 35
leave the rest at 0's and check set on boot and apply.
For Advanced Task Killer:
Go to setting, then auto kill level chose "aggressive", and auto kill frequency set it to "when screen turns off"
I'm using radio 2.12.50.02_2 and stock Tmobile US ROM HSPL3
I hope that helps some of you.
I've had major issues with battery drain. The best I've got so far is about 5% to 7% drain per hour on standby.
I'll try your recommendations too.
Battery is the only thing holding be back from using Android as a full time OS.
Do you charge your battery in Android or in Winmo?
got settings from other thread, thought they were working well turned out they were not lol had to jump back builds
Battery life is keeping these from being fully usable. I can't make it through a full day, I have tried juice defender, set CPU (max fre 800, 245 w/ screen off), turning sync off. I always get at least 5% drain/hr at idle and obviously worse than that when I use the phone.
I am going to charge overnight tonight in win mo then boot android tomorrow morning and see if I can get through the day tomorrow.

I charge using android, and I have to agree the only thing we need now is a better battery life, thats why i've been trying all different kind of settings and this worked best.

lol yeah its strange that those settings work for some people and not for others, I guess it depends on the radio/ROM they have.

Ok let me know if these settings work for you.
I have the same config in this build
[BUILD][17.08.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b][Kernel: huanyu 2.6.32.9 #6]
and it is working well even there!
I hade 11 hours down to 15% left of battery yesterday.. and I hade it on surfing by wifi and trying some new games and hade a lot video streaming through youtube the last 2-3 hours.
Before I couldnt last for more than 3-4 hours and the phone got very varm....so this i a start and a very usefull app to use!
If you want to extend it further turn of "data connection" at the point you know your not gonna use the phone for a while.
@Notorious.Marwan, won't having setcpu at 1113 for both max and min be draining the battery more as opposed to having it at 1113 for max and 245 for min? or would the difference be not noticeable at all?
Notorious.Marwan, those settings will not be very good for battery life.
You have max and min set to full clock speed...this is going to use a lot of battery power.

Your problems with battery life are due to SD card usage. Plain and simple. Try a class 2 card for Max performance battery wise!!!

I am going to try this.....I was on Darkstones HD2Froyo without setcpu and batterly lasted only 6hrs maybe even less.......
Now i am using Mattc-NexusLeo_v1 build w/ the lastest kernel, used the default or suggested setcpu settings from one of the xda members and i am never at full 100% only 99% or 98% and gives me about 8-12 hours of batt life.
I will try your settings and report back in 24hrs with an update, thanks again for the info!

Also too...Something that I missed at first...In the Advanced Task Killer settings...you have to ignore SetCPU or it will kill it when you turn the screen off and defeat the whole purpose.
Still ridiculous battery drain. 99%->93% in 27 minutes. Using mattc 1.5b.
I've tried the following:
-SetCPU
-juicedefender (data on only when screen unlocked)
-calibrate battery
-delete batterystats
Still need to try a class 2 card versus the class 4 the phone came with.

do a task killer, I think you have tons of contacts, so you always keep network running.

UPDATE:
I set my CPU main to "ondemand" at 94% within 30 mins I was at 74%. So I charged for about an hour back to 99% setcpu main screen back to "conservative"..
Today 8/21
- 5am - 99%
- 7am - 90%
- 730am - back on charger
-10am - FULL%
-11am - 95%
-2pm - 85%
- 3pm to 8pm, this is when i got locked up and sent to jail for 5 hours, soooo now I am at 59%
Sooo, in conclusion for mattc NexusLeo Builds vs Darkstone, keep everything the same except your main screen
Max 1113600
Min 245000
Scaling conservative
set on boot
thank you good night
I have found the best combination is Advanced Task Killer and Juice Defender. Don't even need Setcpu with the combination of the 2 above, meaning your build runs as fast as it can, even overclocked I can get easily 1 day out of it. Overnight drain is ~15-20%.
Is it worth it - in terms of speed, fluidity and no screen lag - to set the max value as 1113, instead of the default (998)?
I'm always thinking that we're burning the CPU and draining much more battery.

Hello together,
first of all i would say that im completely new to this rooting and flashing stuff so dont be too hard to me. Lets start with my story: last year ive buyed my wildfire and used it for 2 months without rooting it. fast i've seen that it would be much more easier for me if i start rooting and flashing it with a custom ROM. Wildpuzzle was the first ROM i've ever used on this phone and i didn't updated it for a long time because i thought i can do anything bad to my phone. 3 days ago i've felt very bored so i read myself once again through all of the tutorials and FAQs. I decided to search the forum for a new ROM without sense so i picked CyanogenMod 6.1 because i wanted a stable ROM which dont reboot 4 times a day(like my old Wildpuzzle one). Today I wanted to speed um my phone and read through some posts and found out that I can overclock my wildfire with SetCPU. I've never overclocked a phone or a pc so i dont know what setup is good for it or which is not.
And thats my question: HOW should i do this and with what cpu setup(min/max) for a stable working phone.
PS: as i've read through the overclock posts i've found out that my phone is already flashed with a overclocking kernel(2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob)
PPS: i'm excuse myself for my bad english and hope you all can understand what i mean
Depends on your preferences really. For me, on my SetCPU Normal Profile, I have set it as 614 MHz Max and 245 MHz on Min, Interactive Scaling. Apart from that, I have also set the following profiles:
1: Screen Off - Max 352, Min 245
2: Temp >46C - Max 352 Min 245
3: Battery <20% - Max 480 Min 245
I had set the minimum earlier to 122, while it gave me awesome battery life, the phone would hang whenever I got an incoming call / message (CPU too slow to handle it), hence, after several experiments, I have found it to be stable at 245. For Max, you can keep it upto 710 MHz, but, I wont recommend a speed beyond that for 24x7 usage. For short purposes (like playing a game, benchmarking etc.), you can go till 768, or the max your phone is stable at.
Amazingly my set up is nearly identical to 3xeno but my max in normal profile is 691 MHz

so what is exactly the interactive scaling ??
what is the difference between ondemand, userspace, performance, interactive...
while searching for the answer ... i also saw pple tlking about powersave and conservative scaling ... i dont have these options ... :s
Sorry to butt in but since we are on the subject of overclocking etc and I dont want to make another thread. Is that setcpu app from the market any use on my wildfire? its not rooted.
No you need rout access to change frequencies mate.

are you referring to old wildpuzzle 8.0.11, i got freezes with that, but after changing to new wildpuzzle, i have not had one freeze or reboot with settings below.

Thank you for sharing this information, I changed mine to this too. Can I ask if you 'Set on Boot' on the main profile? I think you would, but I thought i better check!

I usually set my speed to Max 710, Min 480 Ondemand, no profile. I think it's interesting to try your setting. Thanks for sharing.
Has anyone else noticed this? My phone only goes to 245 mhz for idle speed. Android system info said that the cpu can go as low as 122mhz. I think it would save some battery life right?
yes we can... but you need root acces and setcpu
and you can underclock
PM me if you need more help
i suggest dont do that..
i ever do that, n phone become slowly ..
even to open setting..
it will become slow like symbian, and what ur friends think about it??
maybe they will thinking, android very slow :|

what ROM are you using? I'm using racht's floyo 0.15 and when the screen goes off the cpu idles at 122 MHz well.
or maybe you checked cpu freq when screen is on? because it's not 'idle' state.
This sounds interesting - can you guys let me know if you manage to extend battery life with this... and how much by, daily charging is sucky!
I use setcpu with this configuration:
Max: 600000
Min: 122880
Scaling ondemand
check: set on Boot
I also create profile:
Screen Off
Max: 320000
Min: 122880
Scaling ondemand
Things that i did for my battery
lower brightness
sync off
gps off
about voltages,
lagfree / sio
min 100 / max 800
no live oc & deep idle on
yet, still i lost approximately 8~10% / hour
i really dont what's my problem
Maybe you have a wakelock?
I set a cpu profile for screen off at 400mhz, 1075mV. Matrix kernel seems to be the best for battery life, as well....you may wish to try it out I run overclocked @1200mhz with my screen off profile, and it gets me through an entire day with normal use...when I plug it in at night I usually have 10-15% battery left
