What programs does everyone use to powersave?

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........

SetCPU

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.

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

Best I/O Scheduler and CPU Governor on Glitch

I am using CM7 ROM and Glitch kernel together on the Verizon Fascinate and was just wondering what everyone is using for the I/O Scheduler and the CPU Governor with Voltage control.
I have mine OC'd to 1.5GHz and using bfq and performance.

that setup you are using will suck down battery in no time. Im running v13 from paid glitch app, smartass v2 with deadline and underclocked to 800mhz and get 5 hours of ACTUAL PHONE USE/SCREEN ON TIME and about a full day before needing a re-charge on an 1800ma samaung battery and the phone still flys. zero lag! You really dont need to run any more than 1 ghz, but 1.2ghz will give you crazy speed and still allow for some good batterylife. 1.5 is overkill.

smartass is best in my opinion. It seems to run lower clocks more often when high clock is not needed.. I don't have smartass v2 for some reason

I use cfq and smartassv2. Here is a thread with explanations of all of the schedulers and governers, how they work and what ones are the best.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309698

Using noop/smartass the last day or so...seems to be running smooth.

Smartass never seems to go below 400mhz on my phone. I've been using OnDemand.
I haven't really noticed any performance difference with any of the IO schedulers. Probably because it's flash and not a disk based drive in the phones.

I do have it a little overkill, but I enjoy the speed when using some apps like games. My battery does last a whole day however with the 1800ma battery life, but then again all I use my phone for during the day is texting or VNC. I'm gonna try the smartass V2 and Deadline. Thanks!

I do quite a bit of gaming on my device (9mm, Dungeon Defenders, etc...). Overclock is set at 1.4 no UV, with absolutely no lock ups. BFQ and smartass yield the highest fps for me on V13RC.

I thought we weren't supposed to use performance because it doesn't respect thermal safeguards. Am I correct?

Performance would be a bad idea over long periods of time. Essentially since it runs the phone at the highest possible frequency for 100% of the time, it stresses the CPU much more than any other option. This could cause overheating if used for too long, not to mention the toll on your battery. We all assume that it would decrease the life of your processor because it logically could, but that isn't a big deal sienc you'll likely be upgrading long before the processor would begin to fail regardless of what you do with it now.

Interesting, when I set BFQ and Smartass on mine I get force closes on the simple apps, for instance the internet browser or file viewer. But when I play games on it I dont get any force closes on the games.

Maybe try clearing data on voltage control & reflashing kernel. I have been running my current configuration on MIUI, CM7, and now Pool Party for the last 90 days or so with no issues.

Assuming you mean "safe" then yes over short periods of time it's fine. If you tried to run at a high clock on performance all the time you would probably get heat and battery life problems.

I'm running miui and glitch v12 and I find it very strange that my phone runs really good (almost as good as any combination that I tested) on conservative governor.

Thats not strange at all really. I've had it last multiple days with data and everything off, conservative, and underclocled to 800mhz when I needed to be away from a charger for a while.
and it performed really well.

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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium

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?

You won't be able to run Antutu with my settings. It heats up too fast. In my opinion Antutu sucks. It really does. I can get 14690 in quadrant with my settings. What good is it to have a benchmarking program if you have to underclock to run it? Pfft I'll pass on Antutu...annnnd...you're welcome lol!

What rom are you running?
Some of the developers include tweaks in their roms that clash with the kernel cause benchmarks to blow, but it doesn't affect if not actually improve real world performance.
For example, unknownforce had included some tweaks in ForceRom but once he removed them people's benchmarks back to normal. It's not the kernel, running Ktoonez's on my own modded stock gets me 14500 quadrants and 25k+ antutu.
Same goes for all the Blue Kuban users, Ruje included some tweaks implemented into his rom and those interfere with how the kernel runs the benchmarks - this "interference" isn't bad, it's just messes up the way the benchmarks run.
Plus - Antutu itself is very stressful on the CPU shooting up the temp to 70 degrees in about five seconds, so that can also be an issue.
