Hi, i have a question about SetCPU.
I have SetCPU configured to 245min and 768max with ondemand governor. I'm also having active profiles too.
My question is: If I uninstall SetCPU the configuration will be still there or it will be automatically configured to 600 MHz in all cases.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks
SetCPU asks for root access all the time the device starts, so IMHO the default 600Mhz will apply if you remove it. You should test by actally removing the app, rebooting, then putting the app back and checking, or - even better - checking with some other diagnostics software like Android System Info.
It will revert to 600MHz and you'll loose all profiles
Like Grammar said it will go back to 600. But there is always scripts or you can keep the SetCPU.

Can someone help me with the proper way to overclock the miui rom? I have dalingrins latest kernal, SETCPU, and nook tweaks all installed.
I have my steps set in nook tweaks and it set to set on boot. Also have setcpu set to ondemand gov. Should setcpu be also set on boot?
What I want is 375 min, 1100 max, and ondemand governor. What's the proper way to achieve this? Is setCPU even necessary?

This depends on MIUI's build.
If it's depending on the latest builds with dalgirins kernal and it recogonizes the 1100 and 1200 steps in it's settings, then you can set ondemand and 1100 and set on boot.
If it's not based on the integrated kernal, which you can tell the settings will only go to 925, then you need to install dalgrins kernal and use setcpu, allow root. Set it on boot. Max the setting at 1100, and set the governor on demand. profile it as you like.
WIth Dalgrin's mod... download 1.4.3 nook tweaks.. that is all you need period.
you can test what the highest voltage you can get to without UV. So try 1300 in Nook tweaks and leave the voltage alone. (DO NOT SET ON BOOT) until you have run through nenamarks back to back multiple times and quadrants back to back multiple times without random reboots or freezes.
In CM Mod Settings, Change the governer to conservative, that is your best bet to oc as it is built for solid state memory, such as memory cards (which is all cell phones.)
That is all you need... the rest is just trial and error because all chips are different period.
Then when everything is kewl, then start undervolting.... from the bottom clock speeds and up

SetCPU or one of the other countless OC applications.

is setcpu > then nook color tweaks?
In my experience on phones, setcpu does drain battery a little more than other apps.....

SetCPU is to set the actual OC and governor of the processor. Nook Tweaks simply changes the steppings that setCPU sees and allows for UV/OV.
I currently have UD 1.1b2 with sibere kernel v13 installed.
Now I think, it clocks not to 1200 but to 1000, due to a report of Quadrant System information.
Do I have to edit a file (which one) on my device so CPU governor is clocking to 1200 or is installation of SetCPU required?
Somewhere I read, these two interfere with each other.
Posted the same in the other Thread:
I installed Stab. Test but it tells me with the root testing (name forgotten) that only 1000 MHz max are tested.
I have an overclocking kernel which should go to 1200.
How can I test 1200 with this app?

€dit:
It seems the 1200 max freq setting is constantly overwritten by something.
The governor is responsible for the adjusting of the clock while Android is running.
SetCPU allows for an easier switching between installed governors and to set other Min-Max Frequencies.
They both do a complete different job.
Please check with either SetCpu or Overclock Widget that the min-max values are 300-1200 and then you should be good.
And keep in mind, with any other governor then performance you will prob. never see 1200 on any widget.
Setcpu has an info page where you can see (time in state ) what freqs are used.
I just let Uruk handle the CPU governor. I also use the following...
CPU Spy is simple app to display the time the CPU spends in each frequency state:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy
Temp+CPU V2 is a widget and will show current CPU speed, CPU load, batt temp, and ram:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2
That is the problem.
I set SetCPU to 300 - 1200.
Shortly after doing that, it switches automatically to 800 or 300 - 1000.
No more 1200 anymore on SetCPU main Screen.
I like to minimize the number of apps not written by me doing stuff behind the scenes, and so I just use a startup script to set the CPU settings. This also fixes a problem with video player apps on the Gen8 archos automatically fixing the CPU rate at 800 MHz (which is sometimes not enough for Netflix and sometimes too much for other things), though it may be that the current version of SetCPU also fixes this (I reported the issue to the SetCPU author).
You can search all you want and still come up short, I'm trying to use system tuner to change the cpu and gpu settings and I cant find any help on how to use this app. Im running the latest Kaos Droid rom for 4.1.2, the latest Motley kernel and twrp, props to all developers:good:. Im looking for what the optimal settings are and how to use system tuner to change them. Can someone tell me or show me the right thread that can help? Im not sure what the min/max cpu settings should be and I cant seem to find where to change the gpu settings. We are all noobs at some point. I just want to beef my nexus up a little, nothing crazy.
aww for real?
I wouldn't use system tuner for this because it doesn't have the ability to change the GPU speed. I'd recommend TricksterMOD which is available here for free. Depending on your kernel (not sure if motley's kernel has configurable GPU now, it didn't when I used it) you can change different settings. It is personally up to you how you want to configure your device and change things depending on how it runs. Anyway, I'll give you an idea of my settings that I have changed.
CPU - Governor is Interactive (my kernels default but another alternative would be ondemand) running @ 102mhz min - 1600mhz max
IO - Governor is deadline (again default but imo the only one you should use) with cache at 1024.
GPU - 600mhz
VOLTAGES - My kernels defaults.
Make sure that you set the settings to be applied at boot (I use a delay of 1 because it didn't seem to apply without it) and also make sure your kernel has the powerHAL fix included, or else (in the case of trinity kernel) you will need to download this file (this is for Android 4.2.x). This will allow your CPU overclock to stick and not be reset to stock.
Hopefully this helps! But again, just play around with your frequency's and maybe look into voltage tweaking to get your personal balance between performance and power consumption. And if you are going for performance, I'd look at turning off fsync and using the ext4 mount script to boost your I/O dramatically (this will result in things such as faster app installs)
smt8544 thanks alot man! now I can start somewhere, I didnt wanna do anything stupid without some knowledge, I appreciate it!
So I've got my T211 up and running. I have successfully gotten rid of most of the Samsung/Google bloat.
I would like to have control of my CPU frequencies and governors. The default (seems to be min 312 max 1.2, ondemand) isn't so bad but I'd love to be able to switch to an interactive governor while playing around with other options. But every app I download (i.e. setCPU, No Frills, Antutu), they either don't work or they work momentarily before the changes get overwritten. Yes, I am rooted.
Does anybody know of a cpu tweaking app which is compatible with the T211?

See THIS post as to why your CPU settings aren't sticking.
Thank you.
I made those two files blank (although perhaps I should have only deleted the lines relevant to the CPU). Now, my governor sticks. My min/max frequencies did not stick permanently the first time around, but when I changed them a second time it has stuck for about 15 minutes now.
(ETA - you can simply edit those files to tweak min/max frequencies and governors for both the CPU & GPU)

Try Rom Toolbox.
As the title says. No governor, be it on-demand or performance, doesn't stay after a reboot. I've tried Adam, Perseus, issue persists on both of them! Is this because of this new 4.3? If I remember correctly this wasn't a problem on 4.2! I've tried with SetCPU, No Frills, nothing...I always used performance, now I can't set it and it bothers me very much....
Anyone?

Have you got more than one app actively trying to set the governor ? You've said you're using SetCPU, but make sure the rom (Performance Control for example) or kernel doesn't have an app that's also trying to set the governor on boot for example. If they are, disable those & then try with SetCPU.

Well I have tried with either Adam or Perseus, and in that case S-Tweaks and Synapse are automatically installed respectively. And I don't see there's any setting under those apps to change Governor! So I am forced to use SetCPU, are you saying I should uninstall S-Tweaks or Synapse in order to get SetCPU working properly? Because there's no visible settings under S-Tweaks or Synapse to change governor but there could/must be a hidden setting there which changes Governor at each reboot! and probably conflicts with SetCPU?
Actually, first up, try clearing cache/data on SetCPU, reboot, apply settings you want, reboot & see if they stick.
Then try uninstalling those other apps which might be conflicting. Also, check in rom settings to see if you have anything like Performance Control which might be setting something at boot. Also check to see if you have an init.d folder/if there's any scripts lurking in there which might be causing problems.

Nah, tried everything, no profile sticks, even master wiped the device with full stock ROM and kernel, nothing. It's not actually a reboot needed for the default governor/settings to take place, if I just turn the screen off and turn it back on after a minute or so the set governor by me doesn't stick.
I am quite sure this is how it is suppose to be, but whatever, I don't like it. The fluidity I have seen with performance, well nothing could beat it. Maybe the CPU architecture of i9500 is the thing to blame here. Damn...
That's really weird. Maybe try another app other than SetCPU (or a bunch of them) ? Some kernels have variables that can't be set by the user or you can set them but they immediately go back to whatever setting the dev who made the kernel wants them to be at (some individual governor settings like sampling rates/etc), but setting the actual governor shouldn't be one of those. If the governor is available in the kernel, you should be able to both set it 'on the fly' and set it on boot.

Nah, not really weird as I understand it now. CPU hits throttle temp at 1.6 GHz and automatically defaults out at a lower clock rate, in this case 800 MHz. That's just too bad for me anyway, I have never used anything besides performance, now I am forced to use something else! I wonder how come no one has mentioned this yet!
