Best setcpu setting for 1/19 imnuts 100 voodoo5

Hey guys just wanted to know what you think the best settings for this kernel are. Thanks

Leave everything in SetCPU the way it is unless you have issues with audio popping/cracking. Then adjust the minimum CPU speed to 200mhz.

Thank you! The kernel rocks btw.

Q about faux's kernel

With faux's smartass/minmax, etc kernel I will need go run set cpu correct? Im on my rooted stock sensd that ivd removed some of the bloat from.
Again ty!

to overclock, yes you would need to use setCPU. However, I am unsure whether the smartass governor would take effect whether or not you had setCPU to OC with.

Thanks! I'm new to this but figured it would make no sense to install the kernel with no way to actually OC. I like alot of the roms out but I'm happier with the stock setup the way I've modded it. Removed the bloat I know I'll never use, changed the boot ani, battery icon on status bar....etc. Short press google/long press Genius (the way it should be!)
This phone is amazing once rooted!

It sure is also, while setCPU is a paid app, its increased my speed and battery life several hours beyond that of the normal speeds with no profiles set for screen off or battery level. Well worth the buck, in my opinion.
btw, dont forget the thanks button

Hmmm all I get is boot screen locks or loops. With and with out cache/dalvik wipes. Is it a requirement to have set cpu installed prior to flashing this kernel?

no, it shouldnt be.. I had it installed, but I dont think its required.

Hmmm I wonder why im having no luck then.....

And I meant to say if you wanted to try this kernal in my first post, not rom... I bet on the stealers and am still pissed...lol

Lol I figured so!

I dunno if this'll help at all, but I'm on pretty much the exact same setup (rooted, stock, removed bloatware, changed battery in status bar, changed genius button to google search, etc.) and faux123's kernel loaded right up for me, I followed his instructions and came from grankin's kernel.
I have SetCPU but I only use it to OC it a bit, I have max to 1209, no profiles. I'm not sure how much it changes and helps, some days it's really good but today it's been unplugged for 3 hours and it's at 80% with a few texts, about 20 min of internet and 20 min on XDA app.

[Q] Overclocking

i recently rooted my wildfire and have installed cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and wanted to double check something, ive been looking around threads and these overclocking guides and i saw that one of them said you only need a kernel with the ability to overclock if you are on stock rom, otherwise you can install setcpu straight away and overclock, could someone please just clarify this, thanks

Cm7 has overclock built in so no need for additional kernal or setcpu app
Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod settings > performance > CPU settings
It's basically setcpu built in

thanks, i gave it a go but every time i boot it always restores itself to 528, how can i set it to stick at a certain speed? thanks

There is a check box that says something like " set at boot" tick this and it will retain your settings

Also Smartass Governor is very good. Its interactive so manages CPU when required or when your handset is idle

so does this mean it wont affect battery too much as it will automatically reduce the speed and increase it when required, also what speeds would you recommend for min and max?

Yeah, as far as I know it caps min setting to 352 when idle/sleep even if you have yours min set higher than that. It then uses required CPU up to your Max depending on what processes are taking place.
Overclocking will effect battery life if you push it to far. I currently have mine set at 352/691 and it works for me giving speed and battery life.
Experiment your own tho

Voltage settings with OC

I just loaded the Inintial Contact Rom on my Sprint Tab. I found the voltage control/OC utility and was wondering what settings ya were using. I have searched these forums extensively and have found nothing on what people are using on these tabs. Thanks again

Anybody got a sprint tab with this ROM?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I haven't seen your ROM or Kernel (which is the far more important component when overclocking) so I'm not sure what it's capable of but you can see a couple of people (including me) share settings here.
Overcome can go up to 1.6GHz so I usually leave it on 800-1400 MHz as a general rule, with the same cascading voltage scheme I shared in the link.

Thanks that somewhat of a baseline to go by. This ROM just came out a few weeks ago and i just got the time to load it. I am running a kernel by rodderick. Fastest I can clock to is 1200mhz.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah I think that's as fast as that kernel would let you Oc I have the exact same set up.

Overclocking on intial contact
After you move it up to 1200, save the settings. Close the program. then go back in. You should be able to move it higher? I'm pretty sure that's what I did. I flashed initial contact today. I'm keeping mine on 1200 for now... I don't feel like being too risky yet.

[Q] How to change CPU governor on Mytouch 4G?

Hi All,
Is there there a way to change manually the CPU/GPU governor without the use of external application such as SETcpu ?
Thanks

There are some files I found DEEP in the filesystem once that list the Governor, min and max, but I would definitely NOT recommend you screw with that. May I ask why you don't want to use an app? Also, why not use one of the many ROMs with that feature built into settings.apk?

Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. What do I need it for? As usual, to see if any other cpu governor or I/O scheduler would do a better work.
SO far it it seems the defaults are the best combination
Thanks

I meant, why not use a third party app?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

The only reason is that I have read somewhere in the forum that external applications such as SetCPU will simply take some additional time on reboot. Other than that no real reason to do it manually.
EDIT: one more thing, using 3rd party applications I can only see about 4 CPU governor. Thought I will be able to see/use some more via command line

Well, there are always OC Daemons. That's probably where you read that, in the original explanation regarding Virtuous OC Daemon.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

I guess Virtuous OC daemon would be valid for me if I was using that ROM.
My ROM doesn't come with any OC daemon or tweaks so I am looking for something else for it.
EDIT: To make a long story short, Using Glacier_One_V_1.3 and I can't seems to get the Smartass CPU governor for instance.
Thanks

Lol. Virtuous OC daemon can be used on lots of ROMs.
There probably isn't a smartass governor built into the kernel, dude...

Governor default is predetermined by the kernel if your question hasn't already been answer
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using xda app-developers app

Hi Guys,
Been researching the thing and you're all correct.
Kernel predetermined.
Checked the files and it seems this Kernel (V3) doesn't support the additional modes.
Thanks for the replies guys
