I read in a post elsewhere that
"but you have to look at your battery.... it will increase battery drain... ( i set max cpu 96 mhz when screen is off and set cpu 1152 mhz when screeen is on... that saves battery an my hd2 is flying with speed when i am using it, and i decreased cpu voltage a little bit)."
Where do i find the settings to set max cpu to 96 when screen is off??
Thanks

SetCPU's good. @OP, the SetCPU Dev is an XDA member and provides it for free from XDA so if you want to search for it and download it from the original thread you can. If you want to support him then please buy the app from the Play Store.
Also I personally feel that the advice you've been given is quite poor. 96MHz max with the screen off is definitely too low. I keep mine at 128 min and 4 something max, that way the battery usage is low but I get a fast response when I unlock the phone. With 96MHz max you're going to get tonnes of wakelocks. I tried to set mine to be at 128MHz once then tried playing music (with the screen off) and the phone froze, so I reckon with 96 max any background syncing or in fact any background processes could result in freezing.

For all those who use SetCPU, can you please post your profiles you use. Any issues you've experienced etc. Thanks!
I use 1075 max 245 min as my main profile and then 499 max 245 min for screen off and battery < 15%. All of them are ondemand.
No issues so far.
I use 1190 max 245 min for everyday use, and 576 max 245 min for charging, screen off, and battery < 20%.
is set cpu an app? does this conserve battery life or what is the purpose? any negative effects?

yes its a program. you must have root in order to use it. you can find it here on XDA. It can conserve your battery. I have yet to have any bad feed back about it.
I was wondering what would be considered optimal settings for SetCpu. I amn running BaconBits and am not sure how I should do the settings.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
i have mine set at:
Profile 1 : 806 MHz max, 245MHz min, On Demand, priority 50
Profile 2 : 245 MHz max , 245MHz min, On Demand, for when the screen is off, priority 50
if i change the MHz, i change it higher on profile 1 for whatever i need it for then i just scale it back down to 806 when i am done...
Mines pretty much the same as the one above save for max clock speed being 1500Mhz.

I have my scaling set ondemand, have setcpu set at boot, with 1497 max and 245 min, with profiles for various states of the phone.
My profiles:
Screen off: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=100
Battery temp >104: 806 max, 245 min - Priority=90
Battery <10: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=80
Battery <20: 368 max, 245 min - Priority=70
Battery <30: 768 max, 245 min - Priority=60
Charging/Full: 1497 max, 245 min - Priority=50
I get well over a day of use, even with moderate-heavy usage, even with my overclocking on Evil's Sense ROM.
If you search google for an "overclocking 101" thread you should find a rather large ongoing break down of setcpu and the most efficient way to use it. I believe its on one of the droid forums, awesome info.

By all means, have at it!
Main profile: 245 - 1017 on demand
Charging/Full: 1017 - 1017 performance 90 priority
Screen Off: 245 - 245 performance; mainly as this mode will bypass the need to poll/sample for CPU speeds, thus reduces some CPU load. 100 priority
Battery < 20%: 245 - 768 on demand 75 priority
i decided to put the SetCPU widget on my homescreen last night so i could see if the profiles were actually changing as my battery ran lower... and my phone got reaaaalllly sluggish to the point where i would have to wait a few seconds for it to flip back and forth between screens... i deleted the widget thinking that might have caused it, but it was still laggy... so i unclicked on the profiles for battery and got it back to 806MHz and it was fine again...
im guessing that it supposed to slow down the phone when the CPU drops below 806MHz but i didnt think it would be that bad... anyone else experiance this?

What are the profiles you are using? The ones you copied shouldn't have run into any conflicts... except when you're under 20% battery where the CPU is throttled under 368.
What is your powersave bias?
Speaking of powersave bias, could anyone tell me some optimal settings for the setCPU advanced tab? Don't mean to derail this thread, I've just never used that tab.

I believe i was right at 20% batt or right below,so that could have been the issue... I havent messed with anything on the advanced tab as i dont know much about it, the powersave bias is still set to 0

does anyone else feel that their battery lasts longer without using setcpu at all? I mean I love what setcpu can do but in terms of power efficiency, even without overclocking, for some reason I feel like my battery last longer without it.... or am I just crazy?

I used to get about a whole day without setcpu. With setcpu, same amount of usage, I get well over a day and a half before having to charge it up.
Hey everyone,
i think it would be interesting if we collect some SetCPU Profiles.
The App you can find here:
SetCPU for Root Users [2.1.0]
Maybe someone has found allready a good Profile for saving battery but having enough CPU-Power for a smothy work on the Legend?
I have used this Profile for a while, but i think through the overclocking there´s to much battery waste and no really noticable better performance with the apps i use.
Temp > 40° Priority 100
122min | 245max
Screen Off Priority 70
122min | 245max
Battery < 20% Priority 60
122min | 480max

Is interactive better than ondemand? I mean from fast response/battery life POV...

I read this in an other board:
From what i've read, "Interactive" is a bit more aggressive at ramping up CPU speed based on load, and is slower to drop off to "idle" speeds once the demand has passed.
"Ondemand" is a bit more conservative in the way it reacts; and will drop back to "idle" speed more quickly.
"Interactive" makes the device significantly snappier, at the cost of battery life. "Ondemand" will last a bit longer batterywise, however; the device will seem a bit sluggish at times.

Hi, i have this problem. I have cm 10.2 and setVsel for control the cpu frequency speed. I set 300 17v, 600 45v, 1000 54v and 1200 66v.
My problem is that in the first 2 minutes all work ok but after 2 minute the cpu works only at max 1000mhz of speed. I can see it because i have installed spy cpu and for example now it marks:
1000 10%
600 67%
300 8%
Deep sleep 13% (it sleep a bit)
The missing 2% is the first 2 minute that the cpu works at 1200mhz in the first 2 minute.:silly:
Someone can explain me why?
Other two question, why cpu spy don't marks other frequencies over: deep sleep, 300, 600, 800, 1000?? And downvolt the cpu really extend the battery life??? because i don't see difference (max 1 hour of extra life)

You can change that behavior in Aero Control. Change hispeed_freq and input_boost_freq to 1200000. Undervolting doesn't extend battery life by a huge amount.

And sweater heat with full sensors awake

Heater but not so obvious from previous sudden
Real hot Situations.
Is this battery saver app ?
The minimum frequency is so high because the stock kernel is using MPDecision as the hotplug. This boosts the minimum frequency when you use your phone to the 1.5 GHz frequency. When you dont use your phone that intensively it clocks itself down to lower frequencies. No need to put the min freq to 300 MHz, because it already is, it just says 1.5 GHz because of the hotplug :good:

When?
The apps in background still runing and if they are in background the cpu still hold same frequencies as minimum.

Only when you touch the screen and a little while after that the min freq will be 1.5GHz, after that it chenges back to 300 MHz, thats how MPDecision works!

I will collect you the cpu stats with and op settings for all day
Perfomance will be same and post it after for more .
So the stats show that profile per app keep device at 1452mhz double time than without
I examine with same settings almost same hours and almost same usage
The white background screenshots is without
The black background is with
My perfomance is absolute same i only feel diference at low battery level
Lower than 8% at wake up
Ps there is a bug when change this settings
Battery show always awake device but is false
After full charge and shutdown all normal
