I need a setting for my Mytouch 4G with the best battery life, can anyone help me out here?! Thanks in advance plus i can't go lower then 245MHz cause the phone obviously starts freezing....
Not all phones are the same..my best battery life is on fauxs latest gingerbread kernel..using the smartass governor

baller1 alot of things depends as it's not single factor. First the biggest battery consumption on our device comes from the screen so change the blacklight to lowest possible. The second is service/process which runs this would actually depend user to user and based on that your own SetCPU settings. If you have alot of service you never use then disable it on startup and from restarting. Also cut down on media intensive stuffs like widget and live wallpaper or other elements that's always updating. The last one is network bases which would depend on the overall network quality and type of service your connected to in this case find the best radio that works for you first and then depending on your setup push data on given interval. If you stay connected you use more power.
Find a nice rom for example CM7NB and use cfs-lv kernel from faux and let the gov in setcpu be smartass and scale the max/min frequency be 245mhz-768mhz and you can run it with no problem. If you need more power for something then just add next one in setcpu. Also you may want to setup a profile for idle/screen-off mode and set it to ondemand 245-368mhz.

I'm on RoyalGinger 2.0 with the latest kernel that faux had for stock voltage.

you can set a profiles up that change how much power u want, you can make 1 when you shut the screen off and its in stand by and another 1 when you turn the screen on...i do that and it helps alot.
Pm me and ill send you my profiles I use, you'll just have to open setcpu and import them

I have been using Ultimate Juice defender and it seems to be working well I guess. Is there a better option? If you use UJD what settings do you use?
Root and use "SetCPU".

That's what I use, I have profiles set to underclock the CPU when the screen is off or when the battery life falls to a certain percent
What's a strait forward guide to using set CPU.

Here is the official setCPU documentation: http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/
I am using the Adrynalyne Custom Kernal (v2) which defaults the cpu governor to Conservative in setCPU. For my setCPU profile, I only have one entry that underclocks to the slowest speed when the screen is off.
I have it set to run at conservative from 600 so mhz at 50%, 300 at 25% and powersave and lowest clock setting when the screen is off on powersave.
I'm running the latest frankenrom and using adr's experimental battery kernel

i'm trying to run setcpu on my phone but everytime i set a profile it never kicks in and i set a default of 384/786 but phone still clocks out at max use according to my system panel. i'm using stock kernal so i dunno if that has anything to do with it........

I would make sure you have preflock disabled in the menu.

Hello
I have been using the latestversion9 demonspeed kernel with royalginger 3.0
Royalginger cpu settings min122 max1200 superbad governor.
I have setcpu installed but only to read cpu specs and temp.
Anyone else run this setup?
Lately it hovers at 100% then will dive down a bit faster.
I may set a different governor ?

Try Scary governor, its based off conservative instead of interactive/ondemand like smartass and superbad. Screen off profile is the same in all.
have you properly calibrated your battery? 2 ways to do so...easiest way would be to download the app from the market Battery Calibration by NéMa. wait til your phone is fully charged then run the app
option 2- drain your battery all the way down until the phone turns off then turn the phone back on to get rid of that little extra bit of juice left in the battery. with the phone off, charge it fully until its 100 percent. then reboot into recovery>advanced>wipe battery stats. reboot afterwards and you should be good to go
Now that we have a new way to overclock in v14 there are near unlimited variables to overclocking with this kernel. I've found a good balance of performance with 1300ghz step and live OC value of 121%. Let us know what has worked for you. You may include voltages as well.
I'm using reborn90's settings
200-1000; 110% live oc arm volt; 800/950/1100/1175 int volt; 1000/1000/1000/1025
Seems rather steady, I also recommend turning save on boot in settings of nstools before applying these settings just in case xD

I am on 100-1300 with 116% Live OC, haven't played with voltage yet but everything runs great.
I can't seem to get any live OC percentage stable and anything around 118% + automatically freezes and reboots.any suggestions?

Do you UV first then live oc? Or is it just stock voltages?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
For the most part I just use stock voltages when playing around with live OC because I haven't found any voltages in threads that i'm sure are stable.

it depends on how far you phone can go, some can oc more then others but some less then others, I usually never go passed 1.2ghz ,I'd rather save battery.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Just my opinion, but since Android 4.0 relies so heavily on the hardware rendering capabilities of the phone you'd be better off to UNDERCLOCK the CPU to 800mHz, and apply the Live OC to say 125% and have an effective CPU speed of 1000mHz while increasing the GPU clock by the same amount. I've tried it and it works very well but I didn't stick with it long enough to see how it affected battery life. You will need to modify your voltages though. I was at 1250mV on the 800mHz step.
If anyone is interested in just using stock settings, i found this thread interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424064
100-800 mhz, 125% live oc.
So how much of a change have you noticed from Stock kernel to Glitch. I tried OCing once.. and it froze.. and phone died.. and ended up having to wipe / re-flash. Probably user error though
Just wanted to say I accidentally OC'd to 1.4ghz with 110% LOC and man did this thing fly and didn't even crash.
Sent from my ICS Mesmerize
I noticed I'm able to achieve higher stable oc (over 1500) using low leakage voltage and live oc of 116 or less. Without low leakage i can barely acheive 1400 oc at anything over 110 live oc. Never noticed this much difference in internal voltage stability in previous kernel version. I wonder what's changed?
Hello guys,
I'm here to ask for all of your opinions about the cpu Profiles, frequencies and governor.
For screen on I'm currently using 1200mHz on performance, I would like to know if it would save more battery by using on demand governor.
Some months ago I had a discussion with few xda members about this subject. But that was on aurora v4. Now I'm currently on v5 u17. Let me know your opinion. Thanks

To be honest, I've never experienced any benefits of setting cpu profiles for screen on, screen off etc. Your phone will work much more smoothly if you stick as close to the defaults as possible.
I don't use profiles. My min is 245 and max 1200, using on demand governor.
For a while I experimented with profiles, and had bad lag when unlocking the phone, and terrible battery use when screen on.
Independent of profiles, your governor will put your phone into deep sleep when the screen is off anyway.
Do a search for "race to idle" this explains in more detail the benefits of using ondemand as opposed to other governors in terms of battery use etc.
IMHO, Android as a platform would be far better served if people stuck close to the default settings and cpu profiles. Most of the time, any negligible benefits are just placebo.

So according to the race to idle running with performance governor saves battery
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app
In theory yes, but if your cpu is always running at max frequency, ie even when doing nothing, then no.
I have done tests, and my battery always lasts longer using ondemand as opposed to performance, or other governors.

Use interactive/bfq that's the best in my opinion

Will using setcpu on i9505 will help to improve the battery life. If yes what frequencies should I set for screen off and screen on.
Yes it can if you under clock.
Try a few and see what's best for you, every phone is different.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes as mentioned above. Just under clock and remember to under volt as well.
Alternatively without root and stock, just use power saving mode
