Can someone instruct me in the ways of using Terminal in place of SetCPU?
I would like to have these settings:
100MHz-1200MHz Ondemand
100MHz-400MHz Conservative (When screen is off)
TIA

Why setcpu is free just look for it on xda its free here...you pay in the market to support the dev.

I already bought it. I'd just rather do it manually.

That's what she said.
But, if I recall correctly CPU speeds are in the build.prop and you should be able to edit it in a text editor.

I want something that I can monitor what my CPU Clock is at. Something that will tell me what my clock is running with the screen off. Is there any way of doing this?
setCPU might work for you
Doesn't SetCPU just tell you what the governors are set at and what the clock is currently running at? I want something that will tell me what the clock was running at when the screen was off. And preferably free.
setcpu is free for xda members, search for it on here...as far as when the screen off I'm not sure. I was just reading a post but can't remember what it was about dammit, lol, you've tried the market then? if so just google it man

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

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

Hey guys..
I'm posting the latest No-Frills CPU Control extracted from market.
No-Frills CPU is way better then SetCPU and its free.

It works differently. Nofrills sets the freq and gov and then u exit. With setcpu,it runs in the background, always running.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
So which one is better?set cpu or no frills??
Obviously No-Frills is better...
I personally prefer NoFrills, been using SetCPU before, I think this one is more user friendly, and I like the 'Show notification on boot' option

The New App Not Only Supports Voltage Control But Allows To Undervolt to -500mv. Now I'm Sure It Won't Handle It. But Its There. I However Prefer SetCpu Over VC Because of the Ui. As Well As Profiles.

Works well and if you have voltage control as well works fine i had my voltages undervolted and installed SetCpu already detected them and was at that voltage as well as governor and scheduler.
Pretty kewl i havent tried anything below -200mv because the frequencies require a certain amount of voltge to power up and work.
But does have the option to. heres a few pics

Well It's not the app that manages your cpu. All they do is modify your internal setting's. (same as the RAM tweaks.)
So theoretically it should work. (unless it's not Epic supported) If i'm wrong, some correction would be nice.

...or if you want to donate, you can buy the market or amazon app store version which is exactly the same. Pretty damn cool that this developer still offers it for free on XDA.

Same here. Tried it like 2 days ago when it got released and FC when hitting the voltage tab. Never have gotten it to work.
It did say it wont work with EVERY ROM, so that may be the issue. Not sure.

I'm on conservative as well. Not sure if that makes a diff.
I'll do more searching to see what I can find that may be causing this.

Having a governor wont affect that.

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

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.

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
