[Solved with a future kernel update] SetCPU Faux Kernel 0.1.9 - Atrix 4G General

Am I doing something wrong? No matter what I do. I cannot get setcpu to cap at 1200Ghz, it always resets to 1300Ghz. No matter what rom I use it wont stay set. It always resets

Do you have the "set at boot" box checked off?
If so, under Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance do you have the CPU set at 1200 and have set at boot checked off?

I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but I believe there may be a bug with SetCPU. You can try CPU Tuner or that other app which does the same thing to confirm.
In any event, you may be able to circumvent it by setting up a profile. Just an idea. Let us know how it goes!

Maybe a bad version of setcpu or oc kernel. I haven't had any issues but I'm on HomeBase and have setcpu limits on screen off 216/456 and battery <50 1000. Been working superb I must say.

I use CPU Master and haven't had any issues at all.

No problems with setCPU. Just check off "apply at boot"

Hmm,i have the same issue with stock 2.3.4, setCpu and both faux or kholks kernel,very weird, i will try profiles, later today.

Same here, I have mentioned it many times and actuallly thought I was the only one.

Ok, i just tried the profiles and still to no avail. Very weird and rather annoying

I've also mentioned this a few times and have since moved back to 0.1.7

Try wiping setCPU's data from the manage applications menu.

Nope, same thing happens. The interesting thing is that if I cap it at 800 MHz, it tops up at that. Any step higher and the cap doesn't work.

Very odd. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik if you haven't already.
Have you had this issue with any other ROMs?

I am more or less having the same issue. The annoying thing is that sometimes it would work but sooner or later, after a reboot, or changing the settings, it would go off again.
One thing that seeme to help is to set both slides to the min setting then just move one slide at a time, one click at a time and wait a few seconds between changes, till you get the settings you want... did not always work but it did more often then not.
I am going to try cpu master see if that does work for me.

Yeah it's weird. Whether it sticks or not seems totally random.

Hi, I'm on stock 2.3.4 and tried using CPU Tuner, it seems the kernel still won't act accordingly to the max cap I set.
Just like when I use SetCPU, even with the slider set max to 1000 and "Set on boot" ticked, it still jumps to 1300 sometimes.
So the problem could be with kernel, but I don't really know

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

For your reading enjoyment.
There are actually a few things Samsung have done that contrast these docs, the biggest of which is that Samsung's conservative governor is more like a transitional governor, in that it simply uses the "transition_states" array to do it's scaling (rather than the calculation conservative uses to determine the next frequency).

[The short answer]
If it's working for you, then it's not "bad". ;]
[The much longer than I had expected it to be, other info / opinions on Epic governor related issues, answer]
It's just that the Samsung phones don't have anywhere near the amount of steps as other devices do, and their handling of which step to jump to when asked for freq X is not that great (and becomes more of a problem when frequencies are disabled with tools like setCPU and Voltage Control).
The other big thing is that (in Samsung's code) there isn't any compliance to the cpufreq "scaling_min" setting, it simply uses a clip to make sure it's not below the lowest available freq (ie 100MHz) and doesn't care if it's below the scaling_min. Some phones handle the 100MHz better than others (and the original 100MHz is possibly "broken" when you look at it's divisors).
Note that some do kernels have some changes in place to force the compliance of the scaling_min setting. (I know Genocide does anyway.) (And mine does but it has yet to be released to the wild.)
There's some other things in play as well, like the DVFS lock that can be applied to force the frequency to be a "fixed" freq (as in won't change) or a "high_lock" which is basically "no lower than X".
For example, there is a DVFS lock used any time you touch the touch screen that will not allow the CPU to scale below 800MHz (lock token 6 IIRC). (The lock is lifted when you let go). And Samsung's conservative (IMO transitional) governor uses a fixed lock of 800MHz during sleep (suspend).
I've spent a lot of time trying to figure all of this out and to determine why Samsung's devices (specifically the Epic) simply don't play well with most governors.
I have worked out most of the bugs in my kernel (I wrote a function to handle getting the nearest requested frequency with disabled freqs in mind). But it's still not perfect.
I've considered going full force and adding tons of freqs to see how that works out, but that's a crap-ton of work, and my current goal is to release my kernel before official GB drops.
Hopefully will be over the next few days (but I've been saying that to myself for weeks now it seems).

CPU at maximum frequency at all times

I am running faux's newest kernel on my att atrix, Allen build 4. I've noticed that upon cold reboot, the frequency scales correctly. after a while however, the phone stays at the max frequency. I've tried stopping running archives that I thought might be causing this, hit it doesn't help. Is it the kernel?

That's what I thought originally, but after killing all the apps that were running, it still stayed at the frequency.
I have a hypothesis, and i'm going to test it in a second. I think that when I plug my phone into my laptop dock, it for some reason locks the frequency at max.
EDIT: It's the webtop mode. If I plug the phone into my laptop dock, and open the laptop, the frequency is locked at maximum frequency. I'm going to flash the stock kernel again, and see what happens next.
EDIT2: So it's definitely faux's newest kernel. It might just be me, but it definitely is locking to max frequency. Stock does not have this problem.

I have seen the same behaviour. Just got my HD Dock yesterday. When I pulled it out it was warm/hot. I thought it was just the clock/screen using power or whatever. Then I opened SetCPU while in the dock and it showed a constant 1000Mhz. When I unplug it still shows that frequency. Too bad

i have recently made a decision to delete the set cpu and install cpu masters from the market ,i think so for after 24 hours i think it does make a difference um
i notice lower temps even after an hour of useing the webtop or just an average temp overall i am useing the faux 2.0 kernal 1.3 oc but its set at 1.2
my profiles are screen off 456 max-216-min
the rest are 1200max 216-min

I don't have a dock but I just installed _unknown's hdmi/webtop mod while running faux's enhanced stock 0.2.0. Noticed my phone was really hot after trying it out, even with the screen off and noticed a constant 1000 max. in setCPU.
Cleared my cache & dalvik, reinstalled kernel, jugg's battery fix, cleared my battery stats, rebooted into recovery (figured it wouldn't hurt since it defaulted to that option), then fixed permissions and restarted. Everything seems to be back to normal.
Will see what happens when I run the webtop again and report back later. Currently CPU is showing 36C and battery is at 32C. Are these acceptable temps?

Post your Glitch v14 live OC and step values

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

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?

Something must be wrong with the phone if you have such a high CPU usage after a fresh install. Send it in for servicing.

first, whats your upgrade procedure, try without restoring stuff and let os settle in. restoring app+data usually causes this with me.
Also what app do you use for measuring cpu usage. That may be off for some reason. Also note cpu utilization v. s. governor. Example on demand scales up frequency when e. g. uses 80%, so it will seem high, but in regard to frequency it is not. Due to battery savings lower frequencies are used, until 80% frequency is reached before going to a higher frequency, thus for same task higher utilization of that frequency it may not be a bad indication is what I am saying.
Now a rom usually needs some time to synch, perform breakin tasks, scan all media etc, try to see through settings, development options then cpu utilization what is utilizing cpu. Maybe app has gone bad, rogue, or maybe its expected.
