Is it safe to install SetCPU on the MyTouch4G now that we have permaroot? If so, what are the settings we should use with it? Just not sure if the current kernel has been tested with SetCPU or not, and if it works what version of SetCPU... 2.0.3 or 2.0.4?
Thanks.
I am running 2.0 4 with autodetect. Set at 1024mhz performance. No issues and been running 3 days now.

So you're not overclocking it then, correct? What is your setting for the minimum frequency?
I have it at 245mhz.

set up a profile under screen off and set max down to 3000 and minimum at 2000...saves me ton of battery power now
also download auto killer memory in market and set to optimum for even better battery life
I thought that over clocking required a custom kernel?

Were not overclocking... simply managing the CPU more efficiently at its existing speed set

The closest options for this are the following:
368640 max
245760 min
What did you use for the scaling and priority settings?
EDIT - Added a screenshot to this post. I've tried both 2.0.3 and 2.0.4, and no matter what I set for the minimum setting it stays at 245 (not what I defined). Does it not work then on this stock kernel?
I was going to say the same thing, from what I have seen on my phone setcpu is not doing anything. It won't change any of the clock speeds whether boosting the low end or limiting the high end.
I have tried a few things like setting profiles for less than 75% battery to lower the max clock speed and that doesn't work either. Am I crazy or are others experiencing a placebo effect on profiles lowering clock speed when screen is off?

For HTC phones need to be rooted and also disable perflock. In setcpu: menu->perflock disabler. I set my perflock to disable on boot.

Hot damn, that fixed it! Now to test it out further to see how well it works here. I'm not looking to overclock, just underclock when I'm not using the phone. Thanks for the tip!

yes thats the correct setting i didnt know off hand the exact.will stay at minimum untill needed,im on on demand
Best settings for battery life?
Here are my settings and have worked very well. Almost adding 24 hours of battery life.

Just an average power-user. I email and text a lot as I own a consulting business. I am constantly on the go and need my battery to stretch as long as possible.
That is why I kept the stock kernel and didn't over-clock. I simply removed all the bloatware and non-essential apk's that I didn't need and set up a few profiles in SetCPU and now I can get an easy 2 days of power use out of it.
As I still employ the stock kernel and stock ROM I have no lag what-so-ever. Response is perfect IMHO.

SO I am new to this... I used your same settings and my bat shows 56%. On the my screen it still shows that its jumping from 1024-245. Am I missing something?
EDIT: N/M I am just dumb and forgot to preflock!
So I set my profile to have
Screen Off Pri 75 Max 3K Min 2K
Bat 75% Pri 50 Max 7K Min 2K
Bat 50% Pri 50 Max 3K Mn 2K
I will let you know how it goes but I am hoping for some good bust in bat life.
Had some issues when waking the phone, so I changed the settings on the screen off to Max 768. Going to test.
I also moved the 50 Bat to 30 and still getting good life out of it.
Well I have been experimenting with some profiles in setcpu and I have noticed a great increase in battery life especially when in standby a lot.
So i have done this according to what works for everyone else. But... my battery still drops from 100 down to 40 in about 5hours and it has been this way since the 2.2.1 smh. I dont kno what to do. I do text alot and get on facebook mobile semi frequently but mainly text and omg the phone gets up to 104 degreez wen using or charging. Any suggestions ? Or anythjng i may be doing wrong

what are some great overclocking profiles you have set with your setcpu? i tend to get great battery life when my phone screen is off, and i have the processor set just a above the minnimum for both the max and min. i was wondering what yall had in mind for great profiles? i want to have the speed, but dont wont the battery getting too hot either.

I ask because I used SetCPU to overclock in CM7 to 787 (806 locks my phone up), and I want to be sure the temp stays okay.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
i'm not sure about an actual temperature range, but i would say anything that doesn't burn your hand when you hold it is acceptable. what build of cm7 are you using? i've been running set cpu set at 806 with nightly builds from a week ago up to today (13-19) with no issues.
Running build 18. 806 has always locked my phone up, even on CM6

But afaik, the temp the phone gives you is the battery temp, not the cpu temp, so it could be much higher than the reported number...
Anyway, 42° is moreless the line temp for me.

Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
My battery got to around 46C while charging.

Well, if it's just charging you can create a setcpu profile that it lowers the mhz when doing so, so it doesnt heat up too much. At any rate, supposedly every good device should work fine under 50°C, if it's charging without overclock and you still get 46° then it should be safe.
If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Try loading the "Perfect System Monitor" app from the Market. It will give you CPU temp data. I wouldn't worry about anything under ~50* C.
As batteries get older do they tend to run hotter? Or just make the phone hotter in general? I remember the phone running pretty cool in the beginning now it gets quite toasty from time to time.

Do you use it more? Changed any CPU setting? I am also inclined to think that they would run hotter as they get older
Sent from my SilverBullet 'HTCDesireZ running CM7'
yes i think they run hotter and they hold less of a charge so you will see a decrease in battery life

Well thats not good whether your battery is brand new or a couple years old. Are you OC'd? If so, do you run temperature profiles? How long / hard do you use the phone before it gets that hot?
Any li-ion battery will eventually be useless over time. My phone has always run very hot when using gps(rooted with oc's and all that jazz or unrooted).

well thats to be expected. remember the phones default clock speed is only 800mhz, so with that big overclock+gaming+charging you shouldn't be surprised to get a hot battery.
Never seen a g2 get hot to the touch myself. The battery warms when discharging heavily, but not hot. What's the point of overclocking past 1024mhz ?

ive been oc at low levels and extremely high levels and i found a spot where it seems i get the best all around performance....each phone will vary but you should try oc to higher levels if u havnt yet...careful around 1497 though, my phone just gets weird

Mine would get warm to the touch using it heavily on the charger and overclocking to 1.2ghz or so.
Not sure why you'd overclock past 1ghz. I've never seen my phone bog down with anything at 1ghz. Some like to do it though. The usual level for overclockers is probably 1.2ghz. I personally keep it at 806mhz...

so u dont see much of a increase in speed when oc above 1ghz...i think i might mess around with the numbers again just to make sure....thanks for the tip

Well I'm sure if u run benchmarks you'll of course see better performance at higher clock speeds. I'm just expressing that in my uses, I've never seen any reason to clock past 1ghz, not to mention the increased battery drain of overclocking in most cases

Somwletimes custom roms includes a different kernel that are already overclocked. Some people tend to missed this.

the problem is not much in the CPU as it is tested for higher temperatures but for the battery ... as the heat is definitely deleterious ..rather than putting mods (which modify the thermal) I recommend a good custom kernel or alternatively if you want to save battery use morpho (ex spectrum) obviously you must have the root

I know it will harm the battery and cpu, I installed thermal mod because of the frame loss when I am playing pubg or other heavy game something like that.

i've been using my note 7 with thermal mod for about 6 months now, and the highest temp i ever got was 47°c and that was me playing pubg on extreme+smooth settings with the charger on. be very careful when playing on high temps for long period of time as it will destroy your battery like it did with my redmi note 4.

ok but guys do you realize what you're doing? if you play games that require a lot of resources it is obvious that the CPU and GPU heat up now if you didn't know there are pads specially created for this ... they cost about 20 euros, you place the phone in this pad and behind it there is a fan mounted and in addition there are function keys obviously it connects via Bluetooth, and for those who love these games it is the only real solution especially if you spend many hours playing, I have never had thermal problems indeed actually on a leEco the 2 yes but it was a problem that was due to the charging settings too aggressive. so since changing a battery today is not easy and above all it is better to save the phone with one of these pads ...
