SetCPU configuration

Hello,
I just installed SetCPU and configured some profiles. I'd like to hear comments about them:
Screen Off 83/83
Charging 667/83
Battery < 15% 83/83
Battery < 30% 222/83
What do you think of setting 83/83? Too low?
How can I overclock?
I'd like to set a profile for temperature controlling, what is considered a high temp?
Thanks!

I would like to know about this as well. How has those settings worked out for you so far?

Using 83/83 was way too slow. When I had screen off and wanted to turn it back on, it would take too long.
I'm currently using these profiles (in order off priority):
Charging 667/83 (ondemand)
Screen off 222/83 (conservative)
Battery <30% 222/83 (conservative)
I haven't figured out how to overclock yet.

For overclocking we would nees a custom kernel that supports overclocking.

Not yet. But now that the first view custom roms came up i believe we will find one coder that's building a custom kernel.

That's exciting! Are the custom roms you refer to the ones from samfirmware?

Nope... I refer to the real custom roms. Aosp, jpb light, jpa hybrid... And currently there seems to be an eclair rom with ext4 fs is in work... Have Look in the development section.

Thanks for the info. I'll give this a try.

Charging 667/667 (performance)
Screen off 166/83 (performance)
Temp >37C 166/83 (conservative)
rest of the time i have under-clocked it to 333/166 (conservative)
ondemand scaling is a bit laggy when switch speeds...
current setup gives me bout 45-52 hours of usage time.
this includes around 200 msgs a day(outgoing), a total of about 1 hour wifi on time...and around 30 mins bluetooth on.plus an "always screen on " option while texting...
apps/widgets running
$brightness is minimum....always.can increase using widgets when u wanna read or check sumthin out, then revert back to min.

Yeah, but we need someone who's crazy enough to try to overclock his i5800 without any information on the CPU X)

SetCPU lagged my phone like crazy all the time it was on.
Launcher pro+SetCPU was a damn nightmare, apps took close to 9 secs to load.

Do you get lag after turning the screen on?
I used to have anipet Aquarium Live Wallpaper + ADW Launcher EX, and had huge lag when turning the screen on - with 222/83. I stopped using the Live Wallpaper, and it got better, but there's still lag sometimes. I don't know how heavy ADW Launcher EX is, if it is it's fault or not.
Using performance scaling, if I'm not mistaken (the documentation page of setcpu is down) forces the cpu to always run at the max frequency, so it'd be the same as setting the max and min frequency as the same value, right?
I'll give a try at using conservative instead of ondemand and see if I get less lag, though I'd expect exactly the opposite!

What's the point on downclocking the CPU while using the phone ? I mean, 333mhz makes me think i bought a chinese phone (And not a cool one like the ZTE Blade).

i totally agree, i would love to able to overclock it, not underclock it

i have undeclocked it coz i want a longer "ON" time...i am texting and callin ppl most of the time so battery lasts jus for a day.i don't wanna charge it everyday.plus using at 333 isnt so bad..i don't play games(much)...and even when i do(angry birds,paper toss) it works fine...u will get used to it....and whats the point in overclocking this phone? with a crappy resolution no HD game will run on it.
the only thing that sucks at low speeds is the gallery.however this can be "solved" by using the Quickpic app.it's better organized and hella fast.but it lacks the fancy looks...
@iomartin..there is no delay or lag and i have disabled the lock screen also.i use go launcher btw.

Wow thanks for this. I used these settings except for the last one (underclocking when the cellphone is being used)
Last time I recharged was 63 hours ago, and battery indicator still shows 50% left! I have:
- Watched an episode of Kenny vs Spenny (640x480)
- Played ~1h of games
- Surfing + downloading ~30min on Wi-Fi
- Installed ~ 10 apps
- Texted about 50 messages
- Made about a total of 10 minutes of calls
- Sent songs through bluetooth for.. ~10 minutes
- Listened to music for about ~30 mins
Still 50% left? Amazing. Of course this can (or is) a problem with the crappy indicator and it can quickly decrease to ~15 in a heartbeat, but it still is pretty amazing.
Phone says it has been on for 73 hours, I wonder if that's the actual time I recharged it for the last time, or if It's the last time it was charged?
Once again thanks for those profiles. First time I used the app I reckon setting the same but I used OnDemand scaling (What's the difference between these btw?) and It lagged like hell when I turned the screen on again. None of that happens now, the phone works the same way as if it had normal clock speeds.
Oh and I don't use 3G and I've got APNDroid blocking all internet connections. I wonder if that does anything to the battery life?
EDIT: Now I used some bluetooth for 15 mins and made few calls and it got bumped down to 15% and told me to recharge. Guess It'd still work for about 6 hours on stand-by but still the battery life for me was ~67hrs, whilst being ~48 before.

SetCPU app and it's effectiveness? Syndicate Frozen ROM

Hey there, I just a few days ago rooted and flashed the Syndicate Frozen rom and am not getting such good battery life...
I was wondering how big of a difference SetCpu makes on battery life/performance in general? With moderate/heavy use (internet browsing, facebook, email, txt messaging) how much should it improve battery life? am getting around 10hours at the moment with moderately light use... Is there any free alternative app that runs comparatively well?
I guess what I'm really asking is: is it worth it to buy setcpu, and will it make a dramatic difference on my battery life? This Rom is supposed to improve battery life, and I think I read is overclocked to 1.2... Will setcpu let me set this underclocked to 1,0 and then like 800 with screen off, 600 idle? Am new to the android thing [have had my EPIC only around 2 weeks today]
Thanks for any help!

Overclock widget does pretty much the same thing, and you're going to want to set something like
20mhz min 1 or 1.2ghz max
Then 100mhz min 400mhz max for screen off.

You can set the speed to.anything you want. If you want battery to be the best then.set it to 100/1000 on demand. If you emwant performance then 100/1200. Also I don't set profiles cause I was reading somewhere that they aren't good to use on any galaxy phone.

Nice info read up on it and yes you can set it anyway you want like stated above. I bought mine from the market to support the dev for the hard work involved in making setcpu, dont know if you know but it is free for xda members just search for setcpu. It is only $2.00 well worth the price so please support the dev if you can.

20Mhz would freeze the phone. :O
I personally like running it @ 100 Mhz when screen is off and 1Ghz when screen is on.

I am pretty sure XOBX meant 200, cause your right 20 is pretty much crawling...

Yep, I meant 200, the damn autocorrect kept changing mhz to Hz and I must've clicked backspace one too many times.

Thanks, so it would make a big difference in battery life?

Don't expect it to magically give you another 4 hours up time. 1 extra hour would be high hopes.

I use SetCPU with the CPU set to 200/1000 and ondemand, and the battery life has improved GREATLY, well worth the $2 to support the Dev, IMO, even though XDA members get it free.

I've abandoned SetCPU and uninstalled it. Unnecessary consumption of system resources.
Same with any other user-space app/widget to control CPU speed scaling.
In the Bonsai ROM, the exact same capability, sans the profiles which I (and most people) don't use anyway, can be achieved by setting clock range and governor in /etc/init.d/24-cpufreq script. I expect that all the other OC kernels, if not every custom kernel, has a similar way to set CPU clock governor.

I have mine set to 100/1200 on demand, and it works well for the demands I put on it. Way low consumption at idle, but when I need something it instantly responds.
I routinely get 16-18 hours off the charger, and put it back on the charger with sometimes as much as 40% remaining, but as always YMMV. A lot of it has to do with the ROM, but I'd say that CPU scaling has realized a tangible gain for me.

Talking about Bonsai ROM tweaks on a Syndicate thread would be like me talking about BMW mods on a Honda forum. Either way, I looked around in the system folders and I can't find the 24-cpu file you're talking about. I upgraded yestereday from the 2.1 SyndicateROM to this, and for the first few hours, the ROM itself was definately quicker...I don't know if that's just because I came from 2.1 to 2.2, not to mention all the other 2.2 tweaks. After a few hours, I completely forgot that I could overclock this to 1.2Ghz. Installing SetCPU and bumping it to 1.2Ghz felt like just another jump. System resource consumption aside, it makes the phone all that much quicker while going between screen, apps list, closing apps, etc.
I could care less about battery life because I've learned to always have a charger around me since my days of the Moment, of hell, even my Treo's. I want fast, SetCPU is something I can see the difference in just from turning it on and off and seeing the differences.

800mhz is enough

Quick, and great battery. Overclocking is pointless unless you play games on your phone, or care about your quadrant score.

Yup, I agree with you

+1
I had a Milestone for 1.5 years on stock ROM (that is 550Mhz), pretty much served most of my needs perfectly....you know, the normal stuff you use your phone for.

I rarely notice my phone is underclocked... with smartass governor, it's more responsive than stock clocks with a less responsive governor.
Battery life doesn't seem improved, but I know that my weak signal is causing the problem here.

I Sunni it's different for me.. When in use it seems to drain about the same but last night I set the phone down around 11 worth 84% battery life and got up at 6 with 78% still and that's setting the governor to smartass

It's bad for me because my phone goes without signal about half the time in my apartment. I'll be moving soon so it's not a huge issue, but it is kind of disconcerting to feel my phone heating up from just sitting around doing nothing.

You could try disabling the governor and let one like, setcpu do it? Before I went Incredikernel I set up a profile in setcpu that whenever my screen was off it wouldn't run any faster then 128MHz but when on was set for either on demand or performance. Using two governors at the same time causes lag I've found so you'd have to be running a rom that doesn't already have one (that you can see and change) built in

Yea, this is true. OC'ing I thought it was giving me speed, but I actually took the time to really see the speed on OC'ing and to me it dosent seem to change. Well maybe alittle bit, but still. But yea, so I just hit 1ghz and I just leave it there.

Personally, I find myself running into a wall with RAM more than with processor power. I really hope the next Nexus at least doubles it.

Well the SuperOSR is only for nexus s.. If there was one for the ns4g, well then after reading that, I would be OC'ing like a maniac.

This. I'm really feeling the loss of RAM coming from a mytouch 4G. That extra 256MB really made a difference. Using juwe's RAM optimization script seems to help, though.

Ehm, how can Ram be a problem?
Android is managing it itself and can't run out of it, usually.

Things get killed that you don't want getting killed, and when it starts to run low things slow down considerably. It's not that something won't run, but it may run badly, or cause other apps to close that you were multitasking on, which is inconvenient.

I average 16 hours with normal for me use, which is a lot of texting, Facebook, internet browsing, listening to music.

How so? I normally get around 9-10 hours max with moderate use, also depending on the signal i get half the time.

I use netarchys latest bfs kernel with proton to undervolt all CPU frequencies to -20mv. And I have the CPU limited to 100-800mhz, with the on demand governer. With those 2 thing I get 15-16 hours everyday. I also usually let my batter get down to atleast 5% before charging.

[Q] Nexus is acting all buggy

I'm running on PAC Nightly 08252014 and Matr1x 3.4.0 and it's undervolted to where 192 MHZ is 700,000 and I have it running two cores at a max of 540 mhz. So what's wrong is that sometimes when I press the power button to turn it on from sleep mode, it will take 5 seconds and then the screen will come on. Sometimes, it won't come on at all so I have to hold the power button and reboot. Oh and my call log hasn't been logging calls since August 30 so I'm not too sure about that either... Thank you!

Your phone is severely under clocked! Did you really expected it run as it should with down clocking your CPU to 192 and limiting it to two cores only??? 540mhz? Let's be real- this is not windows 95 and your set up will not work!

Oh god I screwed up. What do you think I should do? To make it at stable optimal performance? It's been running smoothly so I had thought it was all good.. The plus side though is that it's reached 4 1/2 hours of SOT

Of course you will get 4 1/2 sot your phone was working like a slow dual core @540mhz. Just reset it to default settings from the app that you're using for tweaking the kernel

But what would be a safe underclock&undervolt that would give me reasonable SOT? My experience with the default settings usually results in 2 hours max of SOT with just wifi off and auto brightness.

Under clocking will always make your phone look slow... Just keep it at min 384 and max 1512. I'm using Franco kernel and I under volt -125, but this is a phone specific, and yours might not handle it that well! For good battery life, the quality of your cell signal also plays a big role.

Which rom has a good battery life?

Hey i tried many diffrent rom bui i can only get 2.5h SOT. Which kernel do you use and which rom to get the maximum battery life without lag?

Battery<----------------------------------->Performance
They are at opposite ends. If you want maximum battery life then there no way to avoid lag.
You can completely turn off 2 or 3 cores, leaving you with a single or dual core phone;
You can also underclock and undervolt the remaining cores, reducing power consumption even more.
This is very battery friendly (in theory), but, as I said, it will give you big lags.
I added a rom video review to the help thread. You might want to check it out.

Do you have any better ideas on how to increase battery life?
Cores need power to run. Turning them off is a completely logical option.
You really don't need all the cores for most tasks. You can browse Facebook, or whatever, just fine with only two cores.
I am currently running in dual-core mode with max cpu frequency at 1.2 GHz and it still is smooth.

Nothing.
Test your battery. Or better yet, start thinking of getting a replacement or a new phone. With a 2 hour charge something seriously is wrong with your device.
My 3 year old S4-i9500 still comfortably gets through the day. Bought a brand new original battery 6 months ago. Smooth sailing. No under-volting, shutting off cores, under-clocking or any crap like that. Phone is custom rom'med and correctly so if I may add.

Never heard of these models except for lg g4, which was crap imo.

With a 2 hour charge something seriously is wrong with your device.

You are aware that he said 2.5h SOT, "screen on time" ?
That means that after using it for an entire day or two, the combined time of the screen being on is 2.5 hours, and in my opinion that is not really bad.
The screen is always the culprit when it comes to power consumption, and in a phone with a battery that doesnt exeed 2000mah its just natural
that after about 2-3 hours of the screen being on the little battery is empty, and no ammount of undervolting will extend that significantly.
The only thing he can consider to increase SOT is a bigger battery, if he doesnt mind the bigger bulge at the back.

Had no idea - never really cared what SOT stands for anyway! But thanks for clearing that up. Always had satisfactory battery life on my S4. The few times I didn't was when a rom on my phone went bad & subsequently had to flash another.
So if what you say is true regarding a day or 2 battery life, then what is this chump complaining about? Turning water into wine? :silly:

So @GDReaper idea is right!I currently am on crDroid and when I switch off 2 or 3 cores the phone is as fast as it was and the battery lasts a little bit longer..With normal charging it goes to full for about 1 hour and half and without using it the batttery lasts 1-2 days,using it lasts about 3 hours or 4.I flashed a new kernel and turned on fast charging on Kernel Adiutor,now the phone charges full for about 45 minutes and lasts same! I'm very happy with my battery bcs I haven't changed it since I got the phone!
